02 Failure Penalty: Obliteration

"Want to understand the meaning of life?

Want to ...... Alive? ”

The young officer closed his eyes, and sure enough! These two rows of green kanji are fed directly into the brain and can be "seen" in the mind even with the eyes closed.

Opening his eyes again, he quietly glanced around under the cover of the reflection of his glasses.

Except for a suspicious man who had deliberately adjusted his position and used someone else's body to block his view, everyone else stared at the air in front of them in shock.

Among them were three young men with special fearful and excited reactions - including the male high school student who stripped his school uniform top to a woman in erotic underwear.

"Mission: Successfully conquer 1 member of the SOS regiment.

Completion Rewards: Follower Contract x1, Quest Completion Certificate x1.

Return time remaining: 65 days, 14 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds.

Failure Penalty: Obliteration.

Note: The remaining time is 0 before returning.

If you have a certificate of completion of the task, you will be judged as complete when you return.

If you have a certificate of completion of multiple tasks, you can improve your mission evaluation. ”

After those two strange problems like the boot screen disappeared from the eyes, a strange task appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

At this time, the three young men with special reactions just now were different from the others, but they showed a sense of reassurance. Two of them also strongly expressed mixed feelings of excitement, frustration, and fear.

After about 1 minute, the text disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and a countdown digital clock appeared at the bottom right of the visual range.

The young officer pushed down his reflective glasses to get a full view of the others' reactions.

Most of the people in the room were thoughtful, but there was still confusion in their eyes. Only the three young men who reacted particularly seemed to be fully aware of the situation and began to think about countermeasures.

(They must know something, but why are they the only ones who know?) )

The young officer, who had already sorted out the key points in his mind, did not intend to remain silent any longer.

Although the young officer did not like to be in the front spotlight, his officer uniform had betrayed him so much that he had to try to become the leader of this small group in confusion and panic.

"Knock"

He took a step without hurrying, and the sound between his shoes and the floor really attracted everyone's attention.

"There must be a lot of questions on everyone's minds now, and so do I.

In my last memory, I sat in front of the computer in the army barracks without any abnormalities. But when I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying here.

Not only did I have no memory in between, but I also had no memory of why I was in a coma. ”

After calmly recounting his experience, the young officer glanced around with a blank face, making everyone feel that they were in his sight.

His flat but firm voice made everyone unconsciously begin to calm down.

No, it's called "peer awareness". Realizing that the people around you are actually going through the same situation as you, it seems that the situation has become less terrifying.

The young officer nodded as if he was sure of something, and then continued:

"Sure enough, everyone and I should have been in the same situation.

So the 'Do you want to understand the meaning of life?' Want to be truly alive? You should have seen these two questions and the tasks that followed, right? ”

Most of them nodded subconsciously, but the young officer didn't mean to wait for their answer, and continued to speak.

"We still have a lot of questions, but now is not the time to think, 'Who got me here?' and 'How did they get me here?'

The first thing we need to consider should be the 'Failure Penalty: Erasure' clause on the mission. ”

The young officer nodded to himself, accentuating his tone.

"I have no doubt about 'obliterating' this.

Someone who can get us here without realizing it, someone who can send information directly to our brains without passing through our eyes, must have a way of obliterating us.

So the first thing we should find out now is the information about this mission! ”

The other eight people in the room continued to nod, and no one questioned the young officer's arbitrariness.

In the face of a group of ordinary people who were suddenly sent to an unknown place by unknown forces by unknown means, the young officers relied on calculated words and actions to affect their subconscious from the moment their eyeballs were attracted, and they really gained the dominance of these ordinary people's thinking without much effort.

This is the power of the political commissar, the artifact of the army from the Soviets!

No...... One of these suspicious men, who had been deeply wary of him from the first sight of his uniform, was unaffected. In addition, there are three young men who may know too much, and there is no confusion in their eyes.

But all four of them chose to remain silent.

The three young men had no intention of competing with him for dominance, and the men who were wary of being soldiers had been hiding themselves, not knowing what to do there.

However, if the remaining four men and women who had no idea could be grasped, the young officer would already belong to the side of the "majority".

However, it is only because of a sense of security that everyone subconsciously gathers together. When the unknowns become less and less, and the surrounding fog becomes thinner, everyone will naturally gradually pull away from each other to a distance that they think is "safe".

At that time, even the young officers could not control the group.

What's more, on the notes of that mission, there are hints full of sweet temptation and bloody atmosphere:

"If you have a certificate of completion of multiple tasks, you can improve your mission evaluation."

===== surname determines the fate =====

"In this environment full of unknowns, we can only ensure everyone's safety in the most efficient way if we unite and try our best to find information.

It is impossible for one person to do everything - and rightfully so. But even if he misses even a trivial piece of information, he may die because of it. ”

The young officer quietly bewitched the others, perhaps his position in the army was that of political commissar.

But just as no matter how powerful the political commissar is, he can't shake the firm will of the [***] members, and the demagogic plan designed for the "sense of security" and "unknown" cannot fool the suspicious men who have no sense of security at the sight of the military uniform and the three young men who are not insecure.

However, for this kind of person, the legendary commissar still has a few tricks. They are called:

"The minority obeys the majority".

"The interests of the collective are above all else".

"Mobilize the masses to fight the masses".

"The classmate who helped someone just now, and these young men.

I see that you seem to know a little bit more than you do, can you please tell us about the information you have?

Please make it as clear as you can. The clearer you say, the safer we will all be. ”

The young officer, having made sure that he had succeeded in temporarily mastering the minds of the majority, finally came to an end.

He pointed out the three people who might want to make a fortune in silence or maybe they were going to talk about it later, and focused the breakthrough on the male high school student.

The male high school boy who had taken off his shirt had already acted once under the orders of the young officer, so it would be easy for him to obey the order again.

It's like lying, doing bad things, killing people, coming out to sell, exhibitionism, and the first psychological barrier is the hardest to overcome.

But once you have the first time, the second time is not too difficult.

"Huh? I? ”

The Northeast male high school student was stared at a little cramped by the young officers and others, and while unconsciously scratching his ears and cheeks, he said in a whisper:

"That...... Haven't you seen Infinite Terror?

Well......

It's a fantasy, no, it's science fiction, and it's a genre called 'infinite streaming', which many people love to read......"
