Prologue The disappearance of the school city

"Here they are. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The girl in the wheelchair said. She has an impressively slender body and beautiful medium-length hair. The upright appearance can't help but make people feel good.,But other than that, she's just a girl the age of a junior high school student.。 Pushing a wheelchair was a bespectacled man, between young and middle-aged, with a frighteningly defiant look in his eyes.

The two men were moving slowly down the hallway in the form of a young man pushing a young girl. There are some fully automated mechanical guards around, and the wheelchair made by the girl is also a modern electronic product, which should be able to be driven by electricity. But the two men seemed to be taking a walk, chatting casually.

"Doctor, they seem to be waiting impatiently. ”

"Yes, but you're starting to hear you even from this distance, and you're getting better and better. The young man known as the Doctor laughed with satisfaction.

"No, it's not what I hear, it's what I feel. ”

"Well, I remember that your abilities don't include this part......"

The young man scratched his head in confusion. At this time, his expression showed the vitality of a young man. If you take off his rimless glasses, it might look even smaller. While thinking about these boring things in her mind, the girl slapped the doctor on the cheek with the wand-like object in her hand.

"Don't be stupid, doctor, aren't you the one who made me like this?"

"Eh, don't hit me with my loving roses!"

The girl was holding a bouquet of roses in a plastic seal. But it seems that it has been a long time, and the flowers have withered, and only the yellow rod is left hanging down.

"I don't feel the slightest love from anything like that, Doctor. The girl said coldly.

"There's no way, it's a performance prop!" As if to say something particularly difficult in terms of technical terms, the doctor showed an arrogant expression, "This is the performance prop I picked out the easiest for them to understand." ”

"It's exposed, Doctor. Isn't that full of love?"

"Yes, a performance prop full of love. ”

"I want to continue the conversation like this......

"So you have to be a little cooler when you perform...... The posture should also be a little bigger. ”

"Ah, change the subject......"

Suddenly, there was a long silence between the two men. After that, the footsteps of the two people also stopped. The girl gave up suddenly, and shook like a sieve. The doctor spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to his knees. The girl also gasped for breath with a pale face. After realizing it, the guard robot who followed the two of them turned on the armament on its body. The red standard line swept densely over the girl, but she looked at the muzzle of the gun facing her without fear.

"Doctor, what a mess. ”

"That's right, but I'm still the one who wins. The doctor chuckled, then took out some potion from his mouthful and stuffed it into his mouth without looking, "I failed to resist this time...... What are you going to lose? You can't move your legs. ”

"This time it's vision, doctor. The girl said casually with her blank pupils, as if it was not her who had lost her sight, "But you, Doctor, if you always take that kind of medicine, maybe one day you will become an idiot who only opens your mouth and drools." ”

"It doesn't matter, because we're in the final step, aren't we?" The Doctor let out a haughty laugh as if he had been fully resurrected after taking the medicine, "and when they bring that thing over, it's my victory." ”

"Am I going to find time to resist again?" said the girl with a smile.

"I can't stand that. It's so uncomfortable to use your computing power to weave a defense program to organize your personality invasion while still being distracted from talking to you. The doctor waved his hand repeatedly, "If you say, you can physically wipe me out with your power." ”

"As soon as I raise my hand, I'll be frozen by the device in this wheelchair. I'm not going to fall into the trap I fell into last time. The girl said, "But the doctor is obviously enjoying it, isn't it, it's fun to fight me?"

"Interesting is interesting, your attacks are almost art. I'd love to take my brain apart and see how your thinking circuits are optimized. Bosch said casually, "But every time I fight you, I almost die." I wish you were docile. ”

"That's impossible. The girl's expression gradually turned cold, "Isn't it you, Doctor, who captured me and confined me in this body?"

"Ah, but I can't imagine you can do that, how did you know those people were coming?" said the doctor with a smile.

"Ah...... Changing the subject again?"

"It's the 'thought of the incident', the thought of the incident. The doctor proudly repeated, "As long as it's something you're concerned about, you can know as soon as it happens." It is really unreasonable to completely ignore the time and obstacles in the dissemination of information. I know that those people are here because of this ability. ”

"That's right. The girl nodded calmly, "By the way, they're tired of drinking barley tea for hospitality now, and they're starting to get agitated." We should be quick to say that. ”

"Oh no, I have to be quickβ€”so can I stop your program hacking into my brain?" the doctor sighed and pushed his glasses. In fact, quite a lot of data is projected on the transparent lens. The doctor was scanning the lenses with the focus of his pupils, manipulating the remote server to fend off the girl's attack, "Isn't it all because of you that we're walking so slowly?"

"Huh, was discovered?"

"Of course you'll find out!"

"But speaking of which, it seems that today's costume reasoning drama "Oda Nobuhide doesn't know what Mito Huangmen is in Tokugawa Ieyasu's pupils" is about to start. That's what I was reminded of. The girl suddenly became active, "I'm really looking forward to it, I can't go on any longer." ”

"Please don't use the powers of the gods for problems that can be solved by looking at the show trailer. The doctor shook his head and sighed.

"Oh, so that's the power of the gods? ”

"Well, of course, it seems that some god in India has the power to use it. The doctor laughed, "You're getting better every day, my calculations are correct......

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You're going to be God. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The people sitting at the conference table all had their faces calm. The body bound by formal clothes sat tensely, and his expression became more and more serious. Although there are elders and young,But all the people sitting here are the members of the "Unified Council" at the apex of the school city.。 For some reason, the General Council, the highest organ of judicial, legislative, executive, military, and diplomatic powers, gathered in this small chamber.

Confusingly, their chairman, Aresta Crowley, did not come.

With a thud, the door to the council chamber opened. The doctor walked in leisurely with the girl in his arms. If you walk up and smell it carefully, you may be able to detect the smell of blood at the corner of the doctor's mouth. He seems to have exchanged hands with the girl several more times on the way. Although there was no fire or explosion, the mental duel between the two was even more dangerous. The councillors, who knew nothing about it, were annoyed at the sight of the Doctor's unstrained face.

"Dr. Mineshima, you're really early. "The parliamentarian's medicinal smell Hisako brought a strong smell of gunpowder to his mouth. If you look at the face, it seems to be a young woman, but the body is said to be over 70 years old.

"Ah, I worked so hard to get here. ”

"Pretty hard to be an hour and a half late?"

"yes, I feel like I'm pushing a little too hard, too. ”

Yakumi Hisako pursed her lips, and she found that her thoughts with this man were not on the same channel at all. Although she was convinced of this in the previous cooperation, she still felt that it was very hot. If it weren't for the fact that his technology was ahead of his time, Yakumi Hisako would have secretly exiled this person to Siberia.

"Okay, we're meeting for something more important. "It is Congressman Pei Jiji Min who has a tight grasp of the topic. He was a man with a serious expression, who was usually at odds with Yakumi Hisako, but now he was focusing on the center of the meeting, "Dr. Mineshima, we have secretly brought the 'Tree Structure Designer' here as agreed. ”

The door to the conference room slowly opened, and several security robots walked in with a large metal canister in tow. The doctor watched with interest as the restraining on the outer layer of the jar slowly unraveled, and a clear glass tube appeared before his eyes. The glass jar was so full of mist that it was impossible to see what was inside. When the tree designer moved in, the spacious council hall suddenly became crowded.

"I see. In order for the 'tree designer' that was originally operating in space to be able to use it normally, did you put it in liquid nitrogen?"

"Stop talking, Dr. Mineshima. Another councillor, Mofune Mochunaka, said, "We have shown our utmost sincerity, so I hope you will tell us unabashedly how far your experiment has progressed." ”

"That's right, do you know how troublesome it is to get this thing out of space without telling the chairman?"

"In that case, we can't go back. In a week's time, Aresta may find out that we may all be finished. ”

"Dr. Mineshima, if you can't make it during this time, let's all die together. ”

"Aresta is so anomalous that we can't stand his inexplicable plans. ”

"Never know what he's thinking. There was always a frightening atmosphere around him, as if some high-ranking being was looking at all this. It won't work any longer. ”

"If you can avoid the 'Loopback in the Sky' lab, you said that you want the strongest supercomputer - the 'tree structure designer' and we will give it to you, now you should show your value. ”

The parliamentarians, who had been oppressed by the existence called "Yaresta" for many years, spoke babblingly.

"Everyone, be quiet!" said Mofune Mochu, "Dr. Mineshima should be put on a show at this time, shouldn't you?"

The councillors all shut their mouths and stared at the doctor. The oppressive gaze can't help but make people shudder.

"It's exactly what you predicted. The doctor suddenly laughed, then pushed the girl in the wheelchair to the conference table, "It's your show time." ”

Countless eyes turned to the girl again.

"Is this a finished product?"

"I've heard it's close. ”

"It's a little bit like a human being......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Such a young child?"

Ignoring the strange gaze, the girl took out the withered rose from her arms. As if in pity, the girl pressed her forehead against the dry stalk. The contrast between the vivid life of a girl at the age of development and the withered flowers is quite strong.

The next moment, the roses bloomed again.

Completely ignoring the laws of physics, the dead rose blooms its beautiful petals again. Sitting in the front row, the lawmakers could even smell the fragrance wafting from the petals.

"This is the power of 'reincarnation'. The Doctor said proudly, "Reversing the cycle of life of a flower is the power of miracles." ”

……

There was silence. Suddenly, one of the councillors stood up and walked up to the girl and the doctor excitedly.

"Are you kidding? With this kind of juggling ability at a banquet, you want to be a god too, and what's the use of letting the flowers bloom?" shouted the councillor in a voice that shook the entire council room, "how much money we have spent, how much risk we have taken, and what we have ended up with this?"

"Ah, that's right. The doctor nodded, a complacent expression, "How's that?

The parliamentarians were furious.

"Such stupid stuff! It's ridiculous. The fragile body is like a neck that can be broken at the touch of a ......" He glared at the girl in the wheelchair, and suddenly showed a strange smile, "Isn't it my chance?"

Everyone on the field noticed that the atmosphere had changed. The councilor's body suddenly made a strange clicking sound, and in the blink of an eye, four hideous mechanical arms grew. His eyes also flashed with an unnatural red glow.

"Oh no, it's an assassin!"

The pro-ship reacted in the middle. The original councillor may have died, and now he is replaced by an assassin. That hideous robotic arm is the result of biochemical modification. As the school city continues to grow.,Even these councillors don't know how powerful the science hidden in the shadows is.。 The school city has been in this world for so long that it is beginning to rot from within. Human desires and science are intertwined in everything, and technology that is not subject to moral constraints is simply a disaster. This must have been an attack by a rebel force who didn't know where it came from, and it was not clear where the information came from, or what the enemy's body was.

The pro-ship Mozhong hurriedly waved his hand. Specially strengthened security robots have been activated, but it seems that it is too late. The mechanical arm had torn the girl's immature body into four pieces. Blood splattered, and the freshly bloomed roses were stained with bright red blood.

"Hahaha!

The Assassin, who was suppressed by several guard robots, laughed in satisfaction, but he quickly noticed that Dr. Mineshima did not have a look of loss or anger.

"How......?"

"Thank you, thank you for helping us put on a show. The Doctor said as he drew everyone's attention to the dead girl, "Thanks to you, our performance will be more convincing." ”

It's as if the film was playing backwards, and the fragmented flesh was put back together.

It blooms like a rose.

"Ah, Doctor, isn't that what you calculated in the first place?" the girl dragged her cheeks as if bored, "I knew that I had infiltrated the Assassins, so I deliberately gave the Assassins a chance to get closer, and let me die and be reborn." You deliberately asked me to perform that boring trick. ”

"So, this is the power of reincarnation!"

"Ah, I've changed the subject again. ”

The lawmakers watched in silence as the two men interacted, most of whom still couldn't figure out what was going on. The Assassin was still unrelenting, struggling to kill the girl again. The girl waved her hand as if it were troublesome, and the assassin flew away like burnt ashes. The doctor's strange expression, the girl's strange behavior, and the strange conversation between the two men. All councillors found out that the two were not in the same dimension as themselves.

"Is this your plan to become a god......?"

"Listen to the will of God in human form...... It is said that in this way, the superpower can reach lv6, or become a god. "But this world has almost absolute limits on godhood, and it is almost impossible for the human vessel to hold souls that can become gods." That's exactly what Aresta is facing...... But I have a good idea: if the humans of this world can't become gods, then wouldn't it be enough to take a soul from me from somewhere else?"

"Ahh

"Don't say that, it's rude to a lady, but I'll make it up to you?" the doctor shrugged, "I'll make you a god...... You're interested in becoming a god yourself. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm not denying it. The girl nodded, "But your methods hate me." ”

"Eh, are you still in the rebellious period?" the doctor shook his head helplessly, "So, the computing power required to become a god can be very different from lv5." Although it uses souls from unknown places, the limitations of the human brain still exist. So I'm going to use the power of the 'tree designer'. ”

"But don't you think it's a cruel thing to make people's brains and computer brains connect with each other?" said the girl with a frown, "The amount of information is too large, the difference in computing speed is too big, and the brain will explode?"

"What does it matter, you're a soul from another world anyway. The doctor said nonchalantly, "And if it explodes, it can be reborn." ”

"That's why I hate you here......"

The expressions of the members who listened to the crosstalk between the two were a little distorted. It seems that Dr. Mineshima's experiments on young girls are far more brutal than ordinary people think.

"If you want to become a god, you have to evolve from among humans. "That's why your ability to 'reincarnate' like this is the most valuable." ”

"Eh, evolution, isn't that to cultivate many generations?" the girl folded her shoulders with her hands and shrunk her neck, "It's terrible to think that I don't know when there will be daughters, sons, and the like around me." ”

"Ah, ah, that's normal to say. ”

"But, in a week's time, there's going to be a terrible guy who will kill us all, right? Is it really okay to cultivate slowly?" the man named Aresta seems to be merciful to the betrayer's men. ”

"So the normal way doesn't work. That's where your abilities come in. The doctor smiled and said, "The so-called reincarnation...... If you kill it once, it should be considered a generation. ”

"It seems like this. ”

In the next instant, the guard robot lifted the girl's thin body from the wheelchair and fell directly to the ground. Because the force is so great, it's like breaking an egg, and it doesn't give people a sense of reality at all. The girl's fragmented body gradually put together, and the guard robot directly opened the refrigerated tank containing the "Tree Structure Designer" and placed the cold machine on the girl's stump body.

The room was filled with the screams of young girls. She was constantly resurrected, and then her resurrected body was crushed by the massive body of the "tree designer" with more than 10 million microcomputers. Splatters of blood and yellow fat stuck to the councilor's face, and the juice flew back to the maiden, and then splashed again. The girl's spirit and body are physically fused with the "tree structure designer", and they are constantly reincarnated between life and death.

"How's that? everybody. This is my 'Godhood Plan'. Are you satisfied?" the doctor waved his arms like a wealthy businessman displaying his collection. The nervous laugh makes people shudder.

"What's the matter? Don't you all want to see how I do the experiments? How? Can you appreciate the beauty of it?"

The parliamentarians were speechless.

"Ah, it looks like it's going to work. The doctor suddenly lost interest in the councillors, and he stared at the girl's stump to himself. There was a high-energy reaction in his eyes that was happening around the girl.

That's energy that comes out of thin air.

"It is said that the gods have infinite power. Sure enough, this energy that came out of nothing, the 'energy furnace', is the power of God. The Doctor chanted as if he were chanting, "You...... will become a god!"

The lawmakers' eyes widened as well. Soon, a light visible to the naked eye emanated from the girl's body. It seems to be the halo on the head of an angel in Christianity, and it is like the light wheel behind the Buddha. Even ordinary people who don't know knowledge and don't have superpowers can see that the girl's body is exuding infinite energy.

Then, the girl levitated. The tree structure designer and designer also levitated with the girl. The two of them became one at this point. The Doctor's face gleamed with frenzy. The girl struggled in the air, and the nerves in her legs, which had already been necrotic, seemed to have been repaired, and the lost vision was compensated. The girl who has realized the "will of the gods" is using the huge energy gathered to build her own god body, and after the construction, she will truly become a god.

"That's right!"

However, another voice retorted.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No!

It was a girl's voice. Obviously, she didn't open her mouth, but everyone present heard the girl's words. It seemed that the girl had acquired a new ability to communicate with others despite the language barrier.

"It's not godhood...... It's not ...... It's not the same. What's wrong, stop now!You must stop!" The girl, who had been killed countless times and had never resisted, suddenly yelled excitedly, "I...... No way. I...... I'm almost gone......"

"Impossible, I don't know how to stop at this point!" The doctor was helpless, "How can this be!?"

"Becoming a god is not such a simple thing, you and I are too naΓ―ve!" the girl howled, "No, I'm about to fall!"

The light gathered around the girl became more and more intense.

"I'm sorry, everyone...... I don't want to disappear like this......" The girl's voice was guilty, "I'm really sorry ......"

"Do you want to make yourself ...... Go back?" The doctor understood the girl's thoughts in an instant, "this is impossible, the path to becoming a king of gods cannot be stopped. But now that you are God, you may be able to do it. You may be able to control the power of reincarnation yourself......"

As if going back in time, the girl fell back to the ground. But the light around her did not disappear. She herself scrambled to try to manipulate the energy that had gathered when she became a god, but it was completely out of control. They burst through the ceiling like fireworks and soared into the air. The night sky of the school city was suddenly lit up.,Cherry blossom petals falling with it.。

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Failed......" The doctor watched dumbfounded as the petals fell onto his hands. Quietly, the doctor's hand was gone.

"Looks like it failed...... the girl said dumbfoundedly. Having lost the brilliance of God, she looks like an ordinary girl of junior high school age. The falling petals fell on the girl's body, devouring the girl's body, and then the swallowed part returned again.

"It's a shame, it's a lot of fun to fight you......" the doctor sighed.

"I don't think I'm happy, though I don't hate you. The girl said with a subtle expression, "I could never have imagined that I would be free in this way." ”

"Really?" the doctor crept closer to the girl, "I have something I want to ask you for......"

Unlike the peaceful atmosphere between them, the parliamentarians were shocked by the sudden disaster.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You...... You guys...... Are you stupid!" one of the councillors regained his composure from the surreal situation, "I don't know what your godhood ritual is, and I don't know what you've done. But you made these horrible petals, find a way to solve them! I don't want to die!"

"I'm sorry, I got it, but I can't help it. The girl said.

"Looks like it's going to be over. The doctor shrugged, and as he shrugged, his right shoulder vanished.

"Leave you alone!" the Councillor struggled to get around the petals, donning the drive armor and preparing to escape from here, "I don't want to die, as long as I get out of here...... Just ......"

The Councillor drove through the passage in his driving armor, and he rushed out of the gate, then froze in place.

It's like it's raining.,The whole school city is shrouded in this cherry petal.。 As long as it touches the petals, it will disappear.,It's impossible to escape from the school city without touching the petals.。 At this point, the Councillor understood why Dr. Mineshima didn't hide from the falling petalsβ€”he must have known that he was going to die.

That's despair.

"I see, is this the punishment for failing to become a god......" the councillor suddenly felt amused, "really, what. Today's events may be written as Bible-like stories for future generations. It's like Sodom and Gomorrah, who were destroyed by angels because of **......"

Confusion swelled in the hearts of the councillors.

"But don't think we're going to lose...... Humanity, humanity will challenge God's authority! One day, we will become gods! We ......"

The cherry petals silently pierced the driving armor and destroyed the councilor's throat. No one will know what he wants to say next.

The rain continued.

From this day on,School City disappeared.。
