Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2021 15:08:37 +0900 From: STONE Subject: Whale in the mirror land - Chapter 10 Midas There was a large cardboard box beside the sidewalk in the city, and two shabby tramps were sitting beside it. When the pedestrians saw them, they pinched their noses, held their breath and passed by. "I'm hungry" Hitler, dressed in tatters, said without help. "Shall we go get some food?" Colombo, who is as dirty as he is, said. The two stood up and stretched out and walked steadily. The two came to the back of the convenience store. They caught a big trash can there. "Oh! There are so many lunch boxes" "Big harvest." The truck came as they put the lunch box in the bag they brought. Then the cleaner snatched the trash can that two are foreging for,and threw the contents behind a wide open truck. "Hey! What are you doing! we still have a lunch box!" Colombo shouted to the cleaner. "Hunh" The cleaner looked down at them, then returned to the driver's seat. "What a waste! Mottainai!" Hitler jumped into the truck through its wide open back. "Oh! It's dangerous! my Fuhrer!" Colombo hurriedly chased afterwards and jumped in. Hitler is absorbed in collecting lunch boxes. At that time, cover snapped closed. "Wow!" "Ugya!" Their screams could not be heard outside, and the truck started. A cleaning truck rushed down the highway to NODA. The road went underground, and the truck ran through the underground for a while and then stopped. And when they opened the back, they threw out the garbage inside all at once. 'Wow Aa!' "Hmm? Did you hear anything?" "Nop" The truck has gone. A pile of garbage ran over a huge conveyor belt. The destination is the sorting area. Countless magic hands extending from the ceiling sorted the trash one after another and separated them into separate conveyors. The magic hand stretched out and grabbed two mysterious objects. "Gya ah ah!" Magic Hand threw two screaming chunks on a conveyor dedicated to 'kitchen garbage'. "Wow wow wow!" Exclaimed the garbage. Since the black ant of the sorting field guard are free, he was patrolling the conveyor for the first time in a while. Two large pieces of garbage flowed on the conveyor in front of him. "Hmm?" While he was watching, the garbage stood up and jumped off the conveyor. "Wow!" The ant panicked and hurriedly picked up the microphone and issued an alarm. "There is suspicious kitchen waste! There is suspicious kitchen waste! Immediately catch it and disassemble it!" Immediately, countless armed guard ants arrived. "Over there!" An ant shouted at the guard ant who came. In a blink of an eye, the garbage that roamed around was surrounded by guard ants. "Help!" "Help!" The kitchen waste raised both hands. The guard ants slowly approached and removed the paper scraps stuck to the kitchen waste, leftovers from the lunch box, and more. "What is it, the creator?" Security ants lowered their guns all at once. "If so, you should said so." Colombo and Hitler, who were breathing wildly, looked at each other. "What do you want? Creator" The ants politely said to them. "What? What are these ants?" Hitler asked Colombo. "I don't know, but they seem to do as you order." "Hmm, I'm used to do orders. Hey, Take us to the person in charge here." "Understood" Two were taken to a room in the building. An elderly man with white hair sat at a large desk and looked at the two who came to the room. "What's your name?" Hitler asked the man. "I'm Colonel Reese. I'm the Chief Executive Officer of this NODA." Colombo approached Reese and held his hand. "Thank you for your hard work." And he introduced Hitler. "This person takes command here from today." "What! Don't be silly!" Reese stood up and yelled. Hitler glared at Reese. "Shut Up! I'm the commander here from now on! If you have any complaints, I'll beat you to death!" The ants gathered and started talking secretly. "What should we do, suddenly there are two commanders?" "It's not good to have two commanders, we have to be one." "which one" They looked at the two humans yelling at each other. "A person who is suitable for a commander is a person who has a loud voice and is as impudent as possible." "Then, this is it." Ants surrounded Reese. And tied up. "Hey! You guys! What are you doing! You will regret it later!" "Come on, what you're going to do is clean the toilet, clean the bath, collect trash.." Reese was dragged by the ants. Hitler nodded satisfactorily and sat down in a cozy chair. And he ordered the ants. "Then, let's hear me more about this place, you guys." Black ants were marching in an orderly manner in the open space under the scorching sun. Tens of thousands of NODA ants were walking around like a black rug, making a rough noise. "Why do we have to do this?" "It's the command of the creator" "It's a so-called military march." "We are army ants?" "Now, that's a different kind from us." "I'm tired" "There is no choice. It is the command of the creator." "How long will that Creator stay here?" "I wonder if he will stay here forever" "It looks like a strange creator." "He's growing a short mustache" "It seems that he was originally a Nazi boss." "Is there a Nazi type of ant?" "The Nazis are a group of people of the same kind as the Creator." "It seems that a war was struck in another country." "Then, will we also be hunted for war?" "Like the previous war with NIDA" "Where are we going to do this time?" "I don't know" A black ant was guiding Hitler and Colombo through a dimly lit exhibition room in the basement. A large transparent container was filled with liquid and contained a human-sized red ant. Similar containers were lined up in the room. Hitler listened to the ants. "What is this?" "These are NIDA ants. they are red ant, unlike us." "Why is this kind of thing in such a place?" "These are the only ones that survived the previous war with NIDA. They are permanently preserved and exhibited in commemoration." "Did they survive?" Columbo asked. "Yes, we executed them properly and pickled it in alcohol for easy storage. Problem?" "-----" "Why did you have a war with NIDA?" Hitler asked. "NIDA's boss tried to take over NODA. That was a war." "I heard that NIDA ants were very excellent?" "They were genius, not excellent. The structure of the head were different from that of us black ants. We were lucky to win, the opponent's strategy mistake, simple mistake, Texas hit " "Is it so good?" "Yes, they had a super-intelligent processor. All ants." "Are all the red ants?" Colombo leaned forward. "Yah" Colombo and Hitler looked at each other. Then they gazed at the alcohol-soaked red ant. That night, Yoshida decided to sleep in Lee's bedroom. Lee used to be in a room with Glen, but now, he was making his own room. On the other side of the corridor, diagonally opposite Yoshida's room, there was the door of Lee's room. It was a small and cozy room. There was a computer on the desk, various game software on the shelves, a bed in one corner, and Yoshida and Lee were sitting there. Hugging Lee in his underwear, Yoshida was pinching the chubby tummy meat of Lee. "You've gotten fat, Lee" Yoshida inadvertently said something extra. Lee, who had been spoiled by putting his face on Yoshida's chest, woke up a little sullenly. "Oh, sorry, Lee, I'm kidding. You are so fluffy and cute, Lee." "--- I wonder if I should go on a diet" "You don't have to, you are very sexy as it is." "---- Really?" Lee glanced at Yoshida's face. "That's true," said Yoshida, hugging Lee and kissing him. "Let's do that 'plenty' tonight without being disturbed by anyone." Yoshida said. "I'm happy!" "I wish Vergil not to rush in like before." Yoshida said uneasily. "Don't worry, I put my security lock on this room." "Security lock?" "I blocked this room from the outside world so that it wouldn't get in the way. Until morning." "Yeah. Then, won't that door open?" "Look, look" Lee said with a naughty face. Yoshida stood up and touched the door handle. And pulled. The door opened. "It's open?" Yoshida turned to Lee and said. "OK, look out" When Yoshida turned to the front, there was a pitch-black space. Yoshida put his half body out at the door and looked down. "Wow!" There was the sea far below. Yoshida hurriedly closed the door. "Hey, no one comes into this room." In the bed in the children's room, Virgil was wearing sheets from his head, shining a flashlight in his hand and reading a book secretly. The title of the book is "48 postures for Men and Boys" "Crazy lion, Duck's neck, Double camellia, Disturbed peony, Swallow return, Millstone--" Virgil stared at the position depicted in the illustration. "Duck's neck" And he imitated the position in the sheets. He turned sideways, bent over, and lifted one leg to the fullest. He closed his eyes enchantedly and groaned unintentionally. A pillow flew from somewhere and hit Virgil's head. "Ouch!" "Sleep quickly, stupid!" "Hmm" Vergil sharpened his mouth. Then he got off the bed secretly, opened the door silently and went outside. He came to Yoshida's bedroom with a pillow. Then he gently opened the door. There was no one. "Dad must be in Lee's room ---" Virgil sneaked into the hallway and came to Lee's room. It wasn't locked. Virgil rushed open the door. And he hurriedly caught on the door. The inside of the room was pitch black. There were no floors or walls, and white waves were shining far below. "What's this!" Yoshida laid Lee sideways and hugged him from behind. Lifting his leg on Lee, Yoshida went into Lee many times, breathlessly. Lee's profile was lightly sweaty. Eventually, Yoshida's movements became fierce, and at the end he entered Lee with all his might. Lee shook his body. Yoshida triggered and poured his fluid deep into Lee's body. Yoshida stayed there for a while. And he kissed Lee's face. When Yoshida entered the new library on the 3rd floor, Newton and Lee were doing something in front of the square board. White and black stones were lined up on the board. "What's that?" Yoshida "---------" "It's GO" Lee said. "Hey you guys, can you GO?" "Issac have started to learn recently. I've been doing it for a long time." Yoshida noticed that almost all Newton stones are killed. "Ehehehe" Lee smiled at Yoshida. "No, Lee, you have to adjust it for beginner." "Oh, that's right." "Wow ah!" Suddenly Newton screamed and turned the board over,then quickly left the room. "What a bad manner!" Lee said. Nelson contacted the dormitory. Nelson's face appeared on the huge screen, which was a little pale. "Something happened?" "That's right. Look." A street corner appeared on the screen, and the entire section disappeared. Later there was a huge black hole. Yoshida and Crane broke down. "It's the remains of a branch of Union's science department. The entire building has disappeared." "It's been blown away by the explosion?" Crane heard. "No, there was no sound at all and it disappeared. In an instant. I don't know what." "It's more like a knife scooped out than a destroyed mark." "That's right. Apparently, it seems that the building data was completely erased by a special program." "Then, wasn't the virus sent in?" "No, I checked, but there is no evidence that the virus was introduced." "Then, is it possible that it was brought in in another form?" "We are investigating now. I think it must be terrorism." Newton came to the bookstore in the city. He came to the GO corner, and started browsing. When he raised his head, there was a little boy in front of him. A boy with black hair and black eyes, about 9 years old, was looking up at Newton. Newton moved a little and read a book again. When he noticed, the boy stuck to Newton and looked up. "What?" Newton asked the boy. "------" A boy looking up at Newton without saying anything. Newton looked around and looked for the boy's parents. There were no such parents. "Did you get lost?" No reply. As Newton tried to walk, the boy's belly rang behind him. Newton looked back. "Are you hungry?" The boy nodded. "OK,come with me" Newton took the boy to a nearby coffee shop. "What's your Name?" Newton asked the boy. "Nothing" "Where is your house?" "Nothing" "Did you get lost or lost your memory?" "Nothing" Newton wanted to run around, yelling out. However, he held himself down and showed the boy the menu. "What do you eat?" The boy glanced at the menu. "Nothing" Newton wanted to yell again. "Okay. if I take you to my house, You eat well?" The boy nodded. He seemed lonely for some reason. "Issac, who is boy?" Yoshida asked Newton. "I picked him up in the city. He's hungry so I feed him." "I didn't think you like boys." "Don't get me wrong. If I feed him, I'll kick him out." With that said, Newton went to his room with his boy. Joe looked back at the boy who passed by. "What is that boy?" It seems to be Isaac's lover boy. He's about to bring him into his room now. " "----- I'm really curious" "Oh, I'm glad. Isaac is now our companion. Now he won't aim at the butt of Crane." It's dinner time. Newton brought a boy to the dining room. Everyone was already waiting for their seats. The children stared at the boy all at once. "Who is that boy?" Bottom asked. "He doesn't say his name," Newton said. "Where did you pick him up?" "No need to talk" "Have you done that with him already?" Newton put his head on the table with disappointment. The meal came out. Steaming soup. Glen in a white apron poured the soup on everyone's plate. "Eat!" Newton gazed at the boy next seat while sipping the soup. he stayed still with the soup plate in front of him. "What's wrong, eat?" The boy dropped his eyes. "----" All stopped eating and looked at the boy. "Boy, you're hungry. Don't hesitate to eat." Newton said. "OK" Newton picked up boy's little body. And he put him on his lap. Then he brought a spoon of scooped soup to boys's mouth. "Now, drink. It's good." The boy, who was staring at the soup in front of him, drank with his mouth on the spoon. Newton smiled. Immediately boy choked. Newton hurriedly rubbed boy's back. "Oh, he drank so quickly ----" Newton stopped talking. The tip of his spoon had melted and disappeared. "Issac! Let go of that child!" Joe stood up and shouted. Newton hurriedly put boy back in his chair and stood up. "What a hell!" Yoshida shouted. The chair on which boy was sitting and the table around boy's touch were disappearing as if they had melted. "Everyone is away from the table!" Joe shouted. The boy stood up slowly. The floor under his feet disappeared with a radius of about 1M, and a pitch-black space spread under boy's feet. Boy took a step forward as everyone stared. And the floor under his feet disappeared as if it had melted in a blink of an eye. Boy looks sadly at everyone. "Go back! Everyone go back!" Exclaimed Yoshida. "But--" Newton stared at the boy and said. "Are we leaving him alone?" "Let's run away for now. We'll think about what to do later." Joe said. All jumped out of the dining room. "Where are you going?" Newton asked. "Let's go to Lee's room" Everyone jumped into Lee's children's room. "Lee, put on your security lock" Yoshida "OK" Lee started up the computer at the desk. The children jumped on the bed and huddled together as if they were scared. "Lee, is this computer connected to our home system?" Yoshida asked to Lee, who is busy operating the keyboard. "Yeah, it's connected to the main system." "I'm glad. Where is that boy now?" The boy slowly walking down the hallway, it was shown on the screen. Behind it, the erased floor looked pitch black. "Can you analyze that child's data?" "Now I'm accessing the data analysis system of the main system and importing that child's data." Finally the analysis result came out. "After all, that child is not a human being. It's an android." "I think he may be a bomb." "I'm looking into it now, so wait." Lee was busy operating his computer. "What about the possibility that he is the virus that destroyed the Union branch?" Crane told Yoshida. "Is it a data destruction program? The program was started when he ate food, I'm sure ...." Crane and Yoshida looked at each other. "Then will this house also become like 'that'?" "What is 'that'?" Joe asked. "Okay, I've found it." Lee said. "What did you find out?" Everyone stared at Lee's computer. "There's a timer built into that child's body. And after exactly 10 minutes, the program built inside that child will start working." "What? What is that program?" Everyone looked into Lee's face. "It's a data erasure program. All substances within a radius of 100M will disappear." Everyone's jaws drooped down. "Let's run away" Someone said. "We can't help it, let's throw this house away and run away. We don't have a loan." Yoshida said. "OK, Wait a bit, I'll unlock the security lock." Lee said so. And after playing with the computer for a while, he said. "---- No, I can't unlock it. Apparently that boy destroyed somewhere in the system. It takes an hour to recover." Everyone stared at Lee. "So what happens to us?" "I don't know" "Wow! ah ah ah!" Bottom and other boys, who were close to each other in bed, screamed. "Don't cry! When you die, everyone is together!" Glen shouted, hugging the boys. The figure of the boy was on the screen. He looked up sadly, and tears were floating in his eyes. "Do Somehow," Newton said. "The only thing I can do is break into that boy's main system and unlock the destruction program." "Can you do it?" "I will try" Lee ran his finger on the keyboard. "No, it's protected by a password." "Somehow tear it" Newton ordered. "Peace, no. Love, no. Sex, no." "What about BoyLove, BoyPussy, AnalSex?" Yoshida "Think more seriously, darling, or I'll hit you." Lee pointed out. Newton was thinking with his hand on his chin. "That's right! What about Midas?" "What's? Oh, that's King Midas. He said he turned everything he touched into gold. It might be the perfect password for that boy. ---- But it's no good." Newton saw the boy on the screen again. His mouth is moving slightly. It seemed like he was muttering something. "What is that boy saying?" Newton said. "I can't hear from here" Yoshida "----- I want to live. I want to live, --- Yes, I can hear so." Lee stared at Newton. "Try it? OK ------No, it is useless. Then let's use the last card. " "What card?" "Try from one by one. There are 128 types of alphabets, numbers and other symbols, so I'll try them from the beginning. I don't know how many digits there are, but I'll definitely find them someday." "Isn't it taking a long time?" "It's okay, using my program, it will take less than 30 seconds even with 100 digits." Lee typed in the keyboard and soon the password started running on the screen. Two minutes passed while Yoshida and others were staring at the screen. The number of digits in the password has already exceeded 150 digits. "Lee, have you ever met such a long password?" Newton asked. "Maybe not" There was a cold sweat on Lee's forehead. "Am I overlooking something?" "There is a possibility" "I need some clues. What is that boy's name?" "I don't know that" "Did you ask?" "He only said "Nothing". No matter what I asked him, he said "Noth.." " Newton stopped talking. "Lee, I'll do it" Newton headed for the monitor to move Lee away. He stopped Lee's program and returned to the initial screen.The password remains blank. Then he slowly pressed the "Login" button. "Oh!" Lee hit his forehead. "It was 'Nothing'!" The destruction program was removed and the boy was sleeping in bed. "Will this boy get well?" Newton, watching by his side, said worriedly. "If he wake up, he'll be fine again. I've removed the built-in destruction program, so it's no different than a normal boy." "And who will take care of him?" "Of course you picked it up," said Yoshida. "----- It can't be helped," Newton said as if he had given up. "Do you know his name?" "It seems that there is no name originally" "What kind of name would you like?" "Bobby would be nice, because he's a bomb." "Bomb .." Yoshida stared at Newton. Joe said as he left the room. "I want to live ---- maybe it was a painful life. Who in the world made the android made to die?" "Oh, do you guys android know how hard it is?" "Yes, I've been used so hard for you in this house that I can understand that boys feeling very well" Yoshida took the broom near him and chased Joe, who hurriedly fluttered and ran away.
