Chapter 5: Tartarus
The sunlight dispelled the darkness and made the monolith, which was deeper than the darkness and could be seen from afar, stand in one direction and expose the monolith that surrounds the Tokyo area to the sky.
Today, the huge rectangular black wall with a height of 1.618 kilometers and a width of 1 kilometer still stands in people's sight like an iron tower that penetrates the sky and the earth.
Such a scene, if it exists in a natural landscape, is obviously so disobedient, but for some reason it makes people feel awe.
However, it is also a matter of course.
After all, only the area in the middle of the monolith is the last paradise for mankind in this world.
The boundary between humans and protozoa, which is divided by monolith, has been in existence for ten years in the blink of an eye.
As a result of the Great War, all the remaining areas of the Tokyo area were consolidated and divided into 43 districts.
Starting from Ward 1, the central area of the Tokyo area, the closer you get to the border line of the monolith, the larger the number of the area will be, and up to Ward 43, and beyond that, there will be an unexplored area where the archerates live.
On the outskirts of the 43 districts in the Tokyo area, the border area that is close to the monolith and even bordering it is a ruined capital that no one wants to live in.
They are collectively referred to as the peripheral area.
Here, the breath of man is sparse to a terrible degree.
Also, you can see incredible things everywhere.
For example, it is inconceivable that it is the footprints of a giant monster from a human being.
For example, a chair stained with blood.
For example, the interior of a four-wheeled vehicle with broken windows is as bright red as rust, reminiscent of the ominous color of bloodstains.
Another example is the unknown reddish-purple weeds that grow through the cracks in the stones.
The ground here is basically dry land like a wilderness.
The building looked like it had been trampled by some monster, and it was as dilapidated as ruins.
This is the outer area of the Tokyo area, a place that no one wants to come to, let alone live in.
However, in such a desperate area, there is such a place in the area of the 39th arrondissement.
A walled place about the size of a small town, with many buildings inside that are clearly newly built, and quite sound compared to the ruins outside the walls.
These buildings are not comparable to the high-rise buildings in the inner Tokyo area, but they are also regular residences.
Presumably, for those 'cursed children' who live in the outskirts all year round, abandoned by their own parents, and rejected by people, this is definitely a dream paradise.
And if you look closely, you can see it.
In this small walled area, a plaque hangs at the top of the only gate.
The plaque reads - Tartarus, or Hell.
By the way, there is also a sentence written on the door: "Lasciate, ogne, speranza, voich'intrate".
It means, 'Lay down all hope for those who are about to enter this place,' a quote from Dante's Divine Comedy, a proverb written on the Gates of Hell.
Originally, Tatsuyi added it very wickedly after Naraku took the name "Tartarus", but Naraku thought that he wrote it in Japanese too easily and understandably, so he changed it to the above look.
In fact, this is also Naraku's bad taste, pretending to be mysterious and pretending to be forced.
By the way, the gate was made into a grimace by Naraku, and according to their ideas, it was already written as hell anyway, so it was okay to simply make the guys who didn't know feel terrified, this is what Naraku and Tatsuyi thought.
Anyway, both of them don't care about their own race, and their personalities are almost taboo-free, and this kind of bad taste is just in line with their hobbies, the bad taste of an old monster who has lived for more than a thousand years.
The children in this are basically taught by Naraku and Chenyi.,But,Chenyi's guy in addition to his own skills and sword-using talent.,The other is all a waste material.,Oh,Oh yes,Physical skills can rely on strong physical abilities and combat experience to have a good time.。
This guy often imitates the skills of the characters in the game to play, of course, is not worthy of supernatural abilities, so far, neither Naraku nor Tatsuyoshi has shown special powers in front of people, so even these 'cursed children' don't know the true situation of Naraku and Tatsuyi.
In the organization of Tartarus, there is no one who is the boss of Naraku and Tatsuyi, both of them have the same position and the same status, after all, for them, power is not interesting at all, and it is better to sleep with that Beijing time.
In this organization, Naraku and Tatsuyi are responsible for training these little ghosts at the same time, but in the training, Naraku first sees what these children are good at, and then teaches them what is suitable for them, unlike other training organizations, which are basically the same training methods, and then the development depends on themselves.
After all, the only one who can easily do this kind of thing is Naraku.,Those who like physical skills learn from Naraku.,Those who like swordsmanship learn from Chenyi.,Of course,There are also people who learn from Naraku.,After all, Naraku is different from Chenyi's broken bucket.,It's an all-field hegemon.。
As for cultural education, Naraku has no choice but to go into battle in person, after all, no one will want to teach these 'cursed children', and Chenyi's gang is not good at this.
However, a little different from Naraku is that Tatsuyi has a mission to kill the traverser in it, plus his personality that likes to wander around, so it is unlikely that he will often stay here to teach these children, and therefore, most of the tasks fall on Naraku.
However, Naraku won't contract everything alone, and the outside things were directly thrown by him to Chenyi, such as cleaning up some garbage or something.
And Naraku, he has to face a lot of trivial things, although with his character, he doesn't take it to heart at all.
Hawkers,The most tiring time period is at the beginning.,After Naraku trained some children who reached the initial standards in various fields.,He handed over the training to those children.,He just watched from the sidelines.,Correct their mistakes.,As for the erosion rate in their bodies,,That thing is not a problem at all in front of Naraku.。
Although it may not be possible to solve it with scientific methods, it is much easier to solve it with supernatural abilities, especially Naraku, a guy with a variety of skills, in front of him, it is not a problem at all.
Of course, if Chen Yi's Gensokyo is nicknamed the eight meaning of the "Three Big Eights", it is estimated that it will be easier than Naraku, the doctor who has lived for I don't know how many years is not covered in terms of medical skills, if he plays yin, Naraku does not need to be crushed with strength, it is estimated that he will be the abused party in a short time.
As for why Naraku did this for these children, if it was just sympathy for them, it would definitely be impossible, Naraku is a "human disqualified" guy who will not hold weapons for others, he will only exert his own strength for his own reasons, so, even if the organization of Tartarus is established, it does not mean that he will fight to protect these children, what he wants is just a process, a process of enjoyment, Now he's just using it as a kind of game.
Of course, there are factors of sympathy for these 'cursed children', but not the biggest factor, the biggest reason is simply because he wants to disgust the garbage of the world and make himself happy.
Well, yes, the main reason is that he is happy, and on that basis, he doesn't mind helping these 'cursed children'.
Hawkers,Blind training is not good.,The combination of work and rest is a normal means of training.,This is something that everyone understands.,Naraku doesn't have a reason that he doesn't understand.,Although these 'cursed children' have amazing physical fitness.,But it's impossible to withstand training all the time.,So in addition to training,Naraku often takes these children to play some games together.,Go out for a walk.,Or eat something delicious or something.,Let them relax and relax.。
Of course, there are all kinds of troubles caused by this.
"President Naraku." A middle-aged man in a black suit with a gun at his waist shouted to Naraku at the door with a blank face, "The car is already waiting outside, and that adult is also waiting for President Naraku's visit, so please take some time and come with us." ”
Naraku glanced at the middle-aged man and sighed deeply, he was a man better suited to sighing than anyone else.
Then, he retrieved a box leaning against the wall next to him, the length and shape in which even a baseball bat should fit.
Of course, it wasn't sporting goods, but a weapon he had personally made, and because he didn't intend to show strength beyond ordinary people in front of the humans of this world, Naraku took one of the swords in his collection out of the treasure house, so that he wouldn't have a weapon in his hand when he needed it, and wouldn't let people see him taking a weapon from the treasure house.
After carrying the box over her shoulder, Naraku stood up and walked out the door.
While passing by the middle-aged man, he suddenly heard the middle-aged man's voice again.
"Isn't President Tatsuyi here?"
"That guy went out to find someone, and he's not here."
"Really? I'm sorry to disturb your trip, please ......" said the middle-aged man in a gesture of please, and Naraku also walked in the direction of his finger.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Tokyo Area, Zone 1......
In this area, which is called the heart of the Tokyo area, an elongated limousine comes from a distance and finally stops in front of a building.
Dressed in a suit, a bodyguard-like figure popped out of nowhere, opened the door of the limousine, and let Na, who was sitting inside, get out of the car.
With curved window panes embedded in stone pillars as white and smooth as ivory, and doors that slope in waves, this luxurious building is an aesthetic palace that you can't fault with it.
Naraku only glanced at such a building, and was led into the building, called the Holy Residence, accompanied by two guards, one in front and one in the back.
It wasn't long before the two guards opened a large door, allowing Naraku to enter a brightly lit hall.
And the two people in the hall opened their eyes as soon as Naraku came in, and they seemed to have been tightly closed until just now, as if they were cultivating their eyes, focusing their eyes on Naraku's body.
[This is really an old enough shot, does the big boss appear?] I like to pretend to be forced with my eyes closed. 】
Looking at the two guys in front of him, who were undoubtedly big shots, Naraku didn't feel anything in his heart, after all, he couldn't be described as a human anymore.
