Chapter 360: The Stupidity of Zaza

“Uh, that's right, but .. Well, in the end, it was a good show. Didn't they? "

Zaza giggled awkwardly.

◆◆◆

Now, onto the main subject.

Everyone was shocked by the revelation that Zaza was a spy, but one cough from Michelle made them tense up again.

"I'm sure you have a lot of things you want to say about me and the city. But I'm asking you to set them aside for now. The reason I came here directly was because I felt a disturbing presence within the city. I can no longer trust those at the top level. It became difficult to determine who was on my side. So I want collaborators outside. In fact, it is sad and ironic that you are all more trustworthy than the people in the city … "

"Wait a minute . A disturbing presence? Whatchu mean?"

"Absolutely. You sound as if you say you have an enemy within the city. But no one in the resistance ever made it in. What enemy are you afraid of …? ”

Rindo and Sharma quickly questioned him about this.

Michelle seemed to think about it for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Yes, since I asked for your help, it's true that I told you. However, this should be kept confidential— "

Then he started telling them.

Even Zaza did not know about it. 'This 'Shadows' Michelle faced.

First of all, what was the cause of the great war?

The biggest reason is the prediction of hunger. That and the explosive population increase.

However, even if the prophecy has not been made, you can say that the destruction was only a matter of time.

“Don't you think that's weird? If those who enter the city do not have to work, it means less work each time the city is created. It is said that people will be chosen through the lottery, but that is not the case. Those who are brilliant or have good genes are chosen first. That's how the five cities got their population … "

They nodded as Michelle explained.

As long as the workforce is connected to the completion of a city, it will be difficult to continue building the city once a certain number has been completed.

Whatever the determining factor may be, it really is just a trigger.

No, if there is a …

“... After you finish getting a number of brilliant personnel, they decide and leave the rest. That's what I started thinking. ”

Michelle stopped here.

He looked around to see another reaction.

Sharma closed her eyes and seemed lost in thought.

Rindo looked shocked.

Zaza remained silent, perhaps he had already sensed it.

Karman is sucking on a cigar, processing information in his own way.

"That ... Is there any evidence …?"

Sharma asked.

Michelle nodded.

"There's no evidence. This is all my own speculation. And yet"

–However.

In addition, the defense system is incomplete and will not be activated. That is why the city became the first casualty in the war.

They had taken refugees from the sixth city, resulting in their destruction.

After that, the other five cities united. They now have reason to deny refugees entry.

And that was how the Almsbine Mechanical Empire was born.

The population that was on the rise suddenly started to plummet. All the world's technologies are now focused on the empire.

If only the radiation that pollutes the world could be removed …

–What if it's all planned?

Each event may look unrelated when viewed on its own, but when viewed from a bird's eye view, you may see a different image.

All of that seemed to move too comfortably for the empire.

"Then!! Are you saying that all of that was planned by the Emperor !? ”

Sharma screams in horror.

However, Michelle remained calm.

"I don't have any proof. Even the evidence is not strong. However, it is also true that the dots are connected when considered in this way. And that's why I've been investigating in secret. ”

He continued calmly.

Then…

"So, I want someone I can trust. Please, will you help me? "

He said .

……….

……

…

They all sat quietly.

They are not sure how they should react.

They don't know if they should say yes or no.

It was in this oppressive atmosphere that Veldora's laughter suddenly resounded.

“Kaaahahahaha! Please you? Very well! We're just talking about destroying this empire or whatever it's called. So it was perfect. Of course, you will also help, right? ”

He said as he placed his hands on Zaza's shoulder.

“Hey, what is !? You know, you really have to … "

Zaza was confused, but he immediately made up his mind.

"Well, I've offered my life to General Michelle. Then I will believe that this is for the good of mankind! ”

He said . Then he smiled at the laughing Veldora.

Furthermore, it was Karman and his men.

"Huh. In that case, I will also help you. If a great war had really been planned in the first place, it would have made everything I had done up until now a joke. I can't stand that thought. Can you all the others? ”
