Interlude: On the afternoon of August 31

What is life?

What do people live for?

I beat the man who asked me this until I had only one breath left. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info (plausible association)

---------------------------

On the streets of August 31, there was hardly a single person.

Since 80% of the residents are students, and today is the last day of the summer vacation, most of the residents are nested in the dormitories, desperately rushing to catch up with the summer homework that has not yet been completed. The streets are filled with only wind-powered spiral blades that replace power poles, spinning sadly and lonely.

In order to wake someone up, the boy tried all kinds of methods, but he was injured and blew up someone's house, and most importantly, because the impact of the explosion caused his dormitory to shake violently, and now I think about it, it's a blessing that I didn't. But at the same time, the contents of his room suffered, the house was a mess, the refrigerator was also overturned, and the frozen food packaging that flew out of it broke and scattered all over the ground. In desperation, the boy had to go out to eat.

"The time now...... It's already four o'clock. In other words, eating now can be regarded as dinner, and on another level, I didn't eat breakfast and lunch...... Unfortunately. As he spoke, the boy came to a restaurant.

"Welcome, may I ask you two?"

The waitress invited the boy into the dining room with a smile on her face. But for some reason, there was some tiredness on his face when he smiled. Is it because there are too many people today? Although in this school city where 80% of the residents are students, August 31 is generally a day to stay at home to catch up with summer homework. But maybe there will still be crowds at meal times. The boy thought as he searched for his preferred seat.

"Huh?"

Glancing casually out the window, the young man saw a man in a white robe, walking down the road. Still clutching something in his hand.

"What is he doing?"

As soon as the man noticed the young man's gaze, he immediately ran into the sports car parked in the parking lot as if he had been electrified.

"Why is Amai here?"

Amoi Aki, a researcher in his thirties, has been the promoter of the Level 6 Absolute Ability Evolution Experiment for a long time. The experiment, which was based on the predictive calculus of a supercomputer, was eventually found to be incorrect, and has now been frozen semi-permanently. The person in charge of the experiment should be busy working day and night to find out the problem from the huge amount of data...... Anyway, why do I have this kind of information?

“…… Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. ”

The waitress who came over to deliver boiling water ordered some random dishes, and the young man looked at the scenery outside the window, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift up.

"Then again, the summer vacation is almost over. ”

Summer vacation............ ?

I don't feel real at all. If you are alone and have nothing to do at home, worrying about the homework that is gradually accumulating, but still being able to play freely with your friends for a summer is considered a summer vacation, then your summer vacation is simply miserable. It's both a research institute and an archangel or something...... If you think about it, my life is really magnificent. Within a few weeks of his birth, he was involved in all kinds of events, so he didn't have time to think about the meaning of life and other issues, no, maybe even if he did, he would think about it like before, after all, he didn't care about these things at all.

Thinking of this, the nameless boy unconsciously showed a self-deprecating wry smile.

That's right, I don't think of myself in the first sense of the word - I don't care about humans first, which is a thought that even beasts are low. Even irrational animals will always survive for their own sake. And what about myself, I don't have any real feelings. Death? It doesn't matter. The survival instinct or revenge mentality did have it, but it was just there. When I calmed down, I felt that these things were very unreasonable. Ah, whose personality was created from?,It's too weird.。

――No, clones should have no personality from the beginning, so what the hell do you ......

"Hello, your order has arrived. ”

The waitress's voice interrupted the teenager's thoughts.

“…… Ah, good. ”

The waitress lined up the food in front of the teenager's eyes.

"Have a nice meal. ”

"Thank you. ”

The boy ordered a meat dish, but because the meat was quite hard, and the wooden frame and small iron plate used as a dinner plate did not seem to fit in size, the small iron plate kept moving around, and he couldn't cut the meat properly. The movement of one side stopped for a second, and then he stretched out his left hand and grasped the small iron plate firmly, but the waitress who had just walked next to him did not react much. Has anyone done this before? Anyway, the boy used his ability to control the temperature to wipe out all the excess heat to avoid burns.

In the eyes of others, it is really a strange dining scene.

-------------------------------------

"Whew...... After eating, although it is indeed not good, it is enough to fill the stomach. ”

Seeing that it was already evening, the young man suddenly wanted to sigh that today was really peaceful, but at this moment.

"Wind Demon Strings. ”

…… What's the deal with this unpleasant-sounding voice?

The teenager's bad premonition turned into reality in the next second.

I saw that the glass window of the restaurant was cut open by a mysterious force. And there was more than one force like invisible wire, as the glass was cut to pieces.

A blade of air that can be cut off even by sound.

Countless blades of air swept wildly, slicing the dining table into several pieces and slicing across the tip of the boy's nose. But instead of flying inward, the shards of glass that had been cut open fell vertically onto the floor.

"......"

The boy hurriedly stood up and looked over, but there was no one there anymore, only a large pile of broken pieces of paper.

The boy picked one up and looked at the words on it.

"Momotaro's reading experience, why is there such a thing, whose summer vacation homework is it?"

"Hey. ”

The collar was suddenly pulled suddenly, forcibly shifting the boy's perspective to the side, and then he saw the young man covered in white looking at him fiercely.

“……………… I can put it together. So stop hitting me. ”

"That's not mine, and I'm not interested in fighting anyone else here. ”

"Ah, that's a hint. This shop is completely non-smoking......"

Bang!

“…… You continue. ”

"I'm not here to eat, I'm here to find someone. She should still be here. ”

"She?"

No way......

"About ten years old, with no clothes on his body, only a light blue dirty blanket. She used to come to this shop with me around three o'clock, and I left around four o'clock, and she was there alone. Any impressions?"

It worked.

“……………… No. ”

“…… Is it true that it's fake? Isn't it unusual to dress up like that in this era?"

"How do I know that you are much more reliable than me when it comes to pop or something. Except for Amoi Ao, I don't know why I came here......"

Probably the person who had something to do with the experiment was him.

Bang!

I really care about her.

"Damn, it hurts!"

I don't know what kind of guy you used to be, though.

"Shut up, what did you just say? Amoi has been here?"

But I don't hate you right now.

"Ah, I saw him outside the window, to be exact, and he seemed to be holding something...... What the hell is that? It's pretty big. ”

“…… I can think of it on my knees. ”

Fang Tong said disdainfully. He let go of his hand and turned and walked out of the dining room.

"Can you think of it on your knees...... That's right. ”

The young man looked at the blood stains on his clothes and felt some pain, this was just washed the day before yesterday. Muttering dissatisfiedly, the boy walked out of the restaurant. I don't care about the strange eyes of others. Walk along the main road on your own.

His goal was the site of a research institute.

A research institute that originally carried out the development of the mass production type of the Level 5 Superpower Super Electromagnetic Cannon.

--------------------------------

A sports car was parked next to the ruins of a research institute.

The air conditioner in the cramped car was turned on too strongly, but Akio Tianjing's palms were dripping with sweat.

With his sweaty hands, he pressed against his stomach pouch, which was constantly twitching and painful.

Originally, he was going to enter the institute. Since the buildings in the site are still well preserved, there are so many corners that can be used to hide the car that it should not be difficult to hide from Sputnik's camera. However, today's patios do not have the ability to untie the thick chains and locks at the entrance to the main entrance of the wall.

The problem is, again you can't leave this place. If you move your car slightly, you may be interrogated, and if you abandon your car and walk down the street with a final signal that is almost indistinguishable from being naked, you will almost certainly be stopped.

"Damn!"

It's really a chess mistake, and Tianjing feels extremely remorseful. Originally, after the virus was entered in the head of the final signal,,It should have been quickly escaped to the outside of the school city.。 Members of the hostile forces in the school city are waiting for them outside.。 Next, as long as he absconds abroad according to their arrangement, and with his superpower-related technology in his hands, any research institute in any country will be more than happy to accept him.

Unexpectedly, after the final signal was injected by the virus, it actually escaped.

Amai's plans began to fall apart in that instant.

(Please, please, it's good all at once, just hold on until the virus kicks in!)

Suddenly, something seemed to flash in front of the windshield.

“!?”

The patio reflexively lifts the gaze that would have been looking at the steering wheel in an instant. But it turned out to be a crow that had nothing to do with the guards or researchers. A dark black crow flew from right to left.

"Ah......h

Patio's eyes, however, widened.

There was no one in front of him, and it was just a deserted streetscape as far as the eye could see, and there should be nothing that would scare Amatsu. From the perspective of a third party, it may be thought that the patio is too frightened to calm down and sees a hallucination.

"Ahh......hh

However, the patio's line of sight is not looking ahead at all.

He looked in the rearview mirror.

Looking at the small mirror that reflected the view behind him, Patio's face lost its blood. The pupil part of the eye is constantly shaking. The whole body sweated like rain, as if covered with a film. Fingertips trembled.

In the rearview mirror, a teenager is reflected.

The boy approached from behind the yellow sports car he was riding in on the patio.

Turbid, hot, crazy, pure white level 5 superpowers.
