Became a Human Rights Advocate

85 – Extraversion. Los Zetas.

It was dark on the campus after the sun went down, but Dimas could see Jake’s movements clearly.

Anyway, Dimas is also the body that protected humanity while fighting against the Irregulars.

Of course, it wasn’t because of heroism, but because of the high pay, he was taken by force.

“Hey, Jay-.”

– Big. Dimas, who was about to shout, closed his mouth.

Someone in a white coat is talking to Jake.

It’s not the first time you see Dimas.

A guy with a lot of mousse on his head that I often ran into at the employee cafeteria.

Teachers, students, guards. In addition to these three, there are other employees who exist on campus.

I was a researcher.

After a few words of conversation, Jake soon grabbed the researcher’s hand and started moving somewhere.

But for some reason, they are headed in the opposite direction from the dormitory.

‘There must be a reason.’

While thinking so, it was Dimas who was trying to return by turning his body.

For some reason, my feet do not come off.

An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness ran through Dimas’ body.

No, in fact, there is a reason.

The many senses of incongruity I encountered while living at this school for two months.

Students are not allowed to go out at all.

A researcher who took children suffering from high fever.

A student who disappears from the class after saying that he had a ‘transfer’ overnight.

Dimas chased after Jake and the researcher as if possessed by something.

Keeping the right distance to remain undetected wasn’t too difficult for Dimas.

How much did it move like that?

Jake’s body disappeared into a dimly lit building.

Dimas, a probationary period, is a place that he has not yet known and only confirmed on a map.

Jake gulped silently and slowly approached the building.

And then, with a glance, I checked inside.

What’s inside is ————

＜5＞

“… It’s a human experiment, Mr. Ross.”

In the employee dormitory where the children went home, Ross did not respond to Dimas’ hard words.

“At first glance, it was not a normal place. All the kids who disappeared were there, and some of them were just drooling because their eyes were completely out of focus.”

It’s the same even if you talk in detail.

Ross only draws with his hands in silence, relying on the light from the stand.

Dimas couldn’t stand it anymore and put his hand on Ross’s shoulder.

“Are you listening to me, Brother Ross?”

“So, what do you mean?”

“… Uh?”

Dimas stopped breathing involuntarily as he looked at Ross’s usual face.

“Human experimentation is taking place. So, what do you want from me?”

“It’s an experiment with kids who don’t know anything! You don’t have to stop!”

“Why?”

Seeing Ross answer calmly, Dimas bit his molars hard.

“… My brother already knew.”

“I figured it out after a week. I also heard a rough explanation from the staff.”

“But how can you be so unconcerned!”

Dimas shouts and tries to grab Ross by the collar.

But just as the hand was about to reach the nape of his neck, Ross’s hand moved strangely and bent Dimas’s arm in reverse.

“Keuk-“

Dimas let out an incongruous little moan at the intense pain felt in his arm.

Looking at Dimas like that, Ross opened his mouth again in a blunt voice.

“For the children.”

“What?”

The absurd answer made Dimas forget even the pain in his arm.

“You must know that all the students at this school are children with no family ties.”

“… So?”

“In exchange for participating in the experiment, you get food to eat and a roof to shelter from the rain. Not a bad deal.”

“Are you saying that now!”

It’s not as good as Ross, but Dimas is also a mercenary who rolls as he pleases.

The joints in his arms are momentarily pulled out to release the restraints.

He felt unbearable pain, but the anger that filled his head easily erased it.

Dimas is well aware that there is a gap between Ross and himself that cannot be bridged.

No matter how he wields his fist, this veteran mercenary parries his attacks with ease.

Despite knowing that, Dimas clenched his fists.

Without even one hit, I can’t stand this anger.

The fist he swung with all his might-

“Uh-?”

With a pop, it was impaled in Ross’s face with an absurdly simple blow.

The moment when Dimas, who attacked in an unexpected situation, is taken aback.

“They will starve to death if they leave here.”

Ross put his half-turned chin back on his back and spoke calmly.

“Kids are not as stupid as you think”

“I never thought of that!”

“It is said that even children can decide on their own how to survive.”

This is a very cruel era for the weak.

No, regardless of the era, this world has always been like that.

The fact that everyone has a choice is an illusion that exists only in the heads of those who are full.

For a person who has been starving for several days, it is not a matter of knowing who owns the food that appears in front of them.

Knowing that if caught, he will be put in prison, but he has to eat that food to survive.

Societal morality and human will are all problems after survival.

Ross knew that better than anyone.

“It’s not even something to be angry about.”

On the contrary, the children in this facility are among the lucky ones.

There is no need to worry about food, clothing and shelter.

There is no need to fetch water while shivering with landmines.

There is no reason to be beaten by an adult just to pass the time.

There is no comrade who holds a grudge and stabs a knife into the bed.

According to the principal’s explanation, the survival rate of the experiment seems to be quite high.

Except for some unfortunate cases, most will survive and become adults.

In addition, due to the nature of this academy called Academy Island, at least the minimum education can be received.

“Is that the price of risking your life?”

“Yes.”

“Brother Ross, do you think that makes sense?”

Ross nods his head.

Dimas was at a loss for words at the sight of him without a hint of worry.

But the anger that boils like lava in his heart gives Dimas the strength to speak again.

“… I can’t tolerate it.”

Dimas gritted his teeth and said.

“What do you plan to do?”

“I’m going to inform the outside world! When the world finds out, I will stop doing this crazy thing here too!”

“Is there evidence?”

“If you prepare for that from now on-“

“Then it’s too late.”

As Ross said, he opened the drawer and took out a small envelope and handed it to Dimas.

Dimas opened the envelope with a suspicious look, and his eyes widened in an instant.

“… This… How.”

The building Dimas glanced at, thought to be a laboratory.

These were pictures of what was happening inside the building.

“I prepared it just in case you didn’t know. Hounds are abandoned when their usefulness is over, so it’s good to know about the bad parts of the owner.”

“…What are you going to do if I take this out?”

“I don’t do anything. It is your freedom.”

As Ross said, he pulled out a thick cigar from the drawer.

“Well, it’s a pity to lose such a comfortable job.”

Ross cuts a cigar with a cutter while Dimas stands there blankly.

Then it was time to light a cigar, but-.

“… Chet.”

I remember throwing all the matches away around this time last month.

Ross glanced at Dimas, who was trembling with the photo in his hand.

Dimas told me to tell him if I wanted to quit smoking, but I don’t think he would lend me a lighter in this atmosphere.

Ross, who clicked his tongue slightly, put the severed cigar back into his bosom.

In the meantime, Dimas seems to have made up his mind and carefully puts the photos back into the envelope.

Looking at the back of Dimas, who even started to pack his belongings, Ross slowly opened his mouth.

“Know one thing.”

“…… What?”

“If you let the world know, more children die.”

At that, Dimas’ hand, which was putting in simple clothes, stopped suddenly.

“… You might end up going to another facility.”

“That facility is the same. This academia is not very different wherever you go.”

Why Academia can be richer than other places.

That is because there is full support from each country.

And that support exists to find something new to use in the war against the Irregulars.

“What the hell are you saying to me!”

From noble mtl dot com

Looking at Ross, Dimas screamed out loud.

Ross still responded with his usual nonchalant tone.

“I told you. Take care of it.”

“… Damn it.”

The power is finally released from Dimas’ hands.

A crumpled envelope containing a photo falls to the floor.

Ross picked up the envelope and put it back in the drawer, then hesitantly opened his mouth.

“Hey, Dimas.”

“… Why, Mr. Ross.”

“Borrow some lighters.”

Hearing Ross’ request, Dimas let out a laugh and handed him a lighter.

Catching the lighter, Chan Ross immediately disappears out the door.

In the room that instantly became quiet, Dimas muttered quietly.

“… Didn’t you quit smoking, Mr. Ross?”

The room is cold.

Tomorrow, I have to tell the staff to turn on the heating.

With such a good thought in mind, Dimas lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

It was a night in May.
