"So, where do you start first?"

When I arrived at a Japanese-style room used by hospital staff to rest, Miss Hiromi Tokai of the Board of Education glared at me and walked out the door. Then Miss Tomiko fell into deep thought as if sorting out her thoughts, and her face showed a comforting sadness from time to time, and she sighed several times before she spoke again: "If I have to say it, I have to talk about my acquaintance with the Six Senses...... To be more precise, it is the first generation of the six senses. Her name is Rokuchi Wakaba, and she is my best friend and ...... Wife. ”

As she spoke, Miss Tomiko closed her eyes, and a wonderful smile appeared on her face, as if she was immersed in the good old days, and at this time she looked as if she was a young girl with a spring in her arms, and there was a kind of happiness and joy between her eyebrows.

"The mentoring school, that's the old name for the whole class, and that's where we met. At that time, I was a new student in the first grade, and she was the senior in the third grade, and she personally wore the student badge for me at the welcoming ceremony to welcome the new students. What a beautiful person he was, and as a woman, I was less than one-ten-thousandth as hers, like an ugly duck standing beside a swan—do you think the name of the flower is pretty? ”

She suddenly opened her eyes and asked me with a smile, I was stunned for a moment, and realized that she was referring to Miss Liuzhi, and nodded without hesitation: "I am the most beautiful person I have ever seen, just like the beauty of the demon." ”

"Well, Wakaba is even more beautiful than Hana, as you described, a magical beauty, when the love letters written to her by her classmates at school every day were able to fill her private compartment. To put it mildly, it's like a swarm of flies circling around food. ”

Miss Tomiko smiled, but her words caused me to involuntarily imagine what kind of peerless elegance it would be to be more beautiful than Miss Liuzhi, and I couldn't depict that form in my mind, or it was unimaginable. However, when I saw Miss Tomiko's nostalgic expression, I felt that it might just be "a lover's eye out of the eyes", and the memory was decorated with time to make it even better, and that Miss Wakaba was not necessarily more beautiful than Miss Rokuchi.

"Beauty, incomparable talent, extraordinary intelligence, strength and charisma worthy of any man, she was full of beautiful things, dazzling, and I was so clumsy that I could only describe the ordinary. I have always admired Wakaba as a senior, and confessed my distress to her in a coincidental encounter outside the campus, and it is unimaginable that she accepted me gently, and often invited me to her home to tutor me, and we gradually came together. ”

Miss Tomiko's complicated tone changed, her face was covered with gloomy colors, and her tone became cold: "I thought that our happy life would last forever, but in the end, it was all ruined. That was when I was twenty-two years old, and after more than eighty years, the evil spirit reappeared in the town, where he killed thousands of people without anyone being able to stop him. At that time, Wakaba was the person with the highest level of magic power in the town, and in this case, everyone could only hope that she would be able to fight the demons, and the people who escaped the demons came to the woods where she lived to ask her for help, and the demons followed them to the woods. ”

"Wakaba's mana level at that time was even much stronger than the current Tsukashi, and even things like interfering with the sun with mana on Earth would not be a problem for her. She shouldn't have lost to the evil ghost like this, but she lost to the two mechanisms in her body after all......"

"Shame and Attack Inhibition...... Yes. ”

I recalled the two terms I had heard last night, and understood the final outcome. Miss Tomiko glanced at me in surprise and nodded in agreement: "Yes, the death mechanism and attack suppression are like handcuffs and leg cuffs, which restrict all her ability to fight back, and she can only take constant diversion and blocking measures to avoid confrontation with the demons. However, the demons caught her weakness and kept killing the other townsfolk who came to the woods to ask for help, forcing Wakaba to protect them. She tried her best, but the others were killed one by one, and then even she was in danger and suffered heavy losses. In the end, she is determined to go to Hell with the demons, and uses her magic to break the earth's crust, cause earthquakes to crack the ground, melt rocks and mud into magma, and even cause seawater to pour in, in an attempt to end it all. ”

"Has the demon been killed?"

My heart lifted, and I could almost empathize with the despair of "Wakaba" at that time, obviously he had the means to easily fight back and kill the enemy, but for various reasons, he was constrained, and he could only choose to try to die with the other party by means like suicide.

"It's not over yet, the demons are not dead despite being badly battered in the disaster. Thinking that he had triumphed, he went to the town hospital to treat his injuries in search of medicine, and I was working as a nurse at the town hospital at the time, so I recognized him as an evil spirit at first sight. Luckily, his eyes were so badly damaged by the disaster that he was no longer able to see, and not only did he not attack me in the first place, but he also had to turn to me for help. At that time, I was in a panic, but I realized that this was a great opportunity to kill the source of this disaster by sacrificing me. ”

"I took a drug called potassium chloride, which is a drug that can cause rapid death if overdosed, and I plan to inject it myself. But Dr. Tsuchida, the only one left in the hospital, stopped me, and he told me to get another medicine, and after I left, he injected a far more lethal amount of potassium chloride solution into the demon's veins. When I rushed back to the clinic with a terrible wail as I was picking up the medicine, the demon smashed Dr. Tsuchida's head to pieces, and I struggled with the medicine and died. ”

"This thing...... Does it have anything to do with what happened to Miss Rokuchi and Sa? What happened afterwards? ”

I can't wait to know what comes next, which must be the key to the strange connection between Miss Rokuchi and Sasa. But Miss Tomiko did not immediately go on, she got up and picked up the brown tea set on the table next to her, rinsed them one by one with the hot water in the kettle, then took the finely ground green tea with a teaspoon, put it in a teapot with a double strainer, poured hot water, and then poured out the pale green tea into the teacup.

"Let's have a sip of tea first, I should be thirsty after talking so much."

She placed a cup of tea in front of me and took another sip herself, and I politely took a sip of the teacup and waited for her to elaborate.

"After the demon died, I learned that Wakaba had fought with the demon, and I didn't care about anything else, so I went to the woods like crazy to find her traces. In the dead land, full of subsidence, magma, and seawater, I searched for a day and a night before I found her in a hollowed-out rock; She was dying, her skin was burned extensively, her bones were shattered in many places, she was almost human-shaped, and it was a miracle that she was able to hold out until I found her. ”

Although Miss Tomiko's tone was calm, I could still feel a feeling of depression and regret in it, she played with the tea cup painted with flowers and birds in her hand, lowered her head, and her tone became low: "I can't save her, such an injury is irreparable." But at that time, I had another option, which was to change her body, a completely new body that was completely reconceived from part of her old body. ”

"As I said before, Wakaba is a genius, and she joined the highest laboratory in the town at the time after graduating from the instructor class, and at the same time conducted research on human memory storage and transmission and human tissue cloning, and she has achieved a lot of results. As a curiosity, she cultivated neural stem cells from a mouse into an egg cell and allowed it to develop into another mouse, and later discovered that some of the habits of the original mouse were inherited by the new mouse. And there is a certain connection between the two, the wall is like an electric shock to a mouse, and the other will also have a corresponding convulsive response. ”

After delving deeper into the phenomenon, she took more ways to deepen the connection between the two, and finally came up with a mature technique. And just before the demon appeared, she decided to experiment with herself, cultivating her neural stem cells into egg cells in an attempt to create another version of herself. ”

Miss Tomiko sighed softly and sipped the tea again: "I took her place to give birth to mature egg cells, and through mana to ripen them, I gave birth to a baby in just a few days, and then let her grow to a suitable age very quickly. Just as Wakaba imagined before, her memories and personality all surfaced in this child who was completely an extension of her life, and the child who should have been a blank sheet of paper became familiar with the language without being educated, and the appearance was exactly the same. ”

"Wakaba died a few months later, and I named the newborn child Messiah, which corresponds to a myth from a long, long time ago; Once upon a time, there was a woman named Mary, who was chosen by the gods to be the conceiver of the Son of God, conceived as a virgin, and gave birth to the children of the gods. To me, this child is the Son of God. ”

"In other words, was Miss Wakaba really resurrected by you?"

My heartstrings trembled heavily, the anomalies that had happened to Miss Six Senses and Yarn in the past were all reasonably explained, and my guesses were confirmed, and at the same time, I couldn't help but think of the question that Miss Six Senses had asked me at the beginning: "Do you think the definition of an individual depends on her body, or on her memory, or on a deeper soul?" If I put all my knowledge and memories into your brain, and make you forget all your previous memories, then you, is it the white stone or the six senses? ”

It turned out that Miss Liuzhi at that time was not aware of my abnormality, but was looking for the answer to herself.

"Whether I should say it was a success or a failure, I couldn't tell at the time, and I haven't gotten the answer yet."

Miss Tomiko sighed again, a look of loneliness on her face, "After Wakaba's death, I found that things gradually exceeded my expectations. Although the child has more and more similarities with Wakaba, it is essentially different, and as she grows older, she begins to resist the fact that she is a continuation of Wakaba's life, and her personality becomes more and more extreme, and although the personality that belongs to Wakaba will emerge from time to time, it cannot cover her own thoughts. These...... It caused a lot of trouble to her. ”

"I was worried about what would happen to the child, because it was an experiment that had never been done before, but as the child grew older, I gradually forgot about it. It wasn't until she became an adult that one day she suddenly told me that she was pregnant, and without having any contact with any men, she gave birth to a baby girl - a child who had the same relationship as Wakaba. ”

"The Messiah is just the beginning, their genes have changed, and as soon as they develop to a certain extent, the body will spontaneously give birth to its own offspring. And each generation must have two children, both of whom are women. One of the newborn children will absorb the memories, thinking, and personality of the previous generation as nutrients to grow up, and the memories of the previous generation will gradually disappear, and finally become an empty shell - the living dead, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it this way. There are only basic life characteristics such as heartbeat and breathing, and even hunger does not know how to eat, and the brain is completely unable to add new memories, and after a period of time, it will die of cerebral atrophy. ”

"The process always starts when they give birth to their second child, sometimes for several years, sometimes less than a year. There is no way to undo it, and it cannot be stopped, once the baby is conceived, the life between mother and daughter is connected, and killing the baby is equivalent to killing the mother. Therefore, having a second child is equivalent to entering the countdown to life for them, and soon everything they have will be passed on from the next generation like nutrients - this is the curse that is entwined in their blood, and the shackles that they cannot break free from by all means. ”

At this point, all the causes and consequences have been said. It's a little bizarre, but I don't think it's just a bad joke made by an old woman and you, right? ”

Miss Tomiko let out a long breath, seemed to let go of an invisible burden, and chuckled in a relaxed tone. However, I am like falling into an ice cave, my brain is completely down, and I don't know what to do, after experiencing last night's incident, I have already vaguely realized that it is not just the consciousness of Miss Liuzhi who lives on the yarn, but the more secret "Heavenly Maiden".

And now this speculation has been verified, the so-called "Heavenly Maiden" is the memory, thinking and personality of the six senses for generations, and their premature fate and soul have been extended to the body of the yarn. The future of yarn will be the same as them, everything about itself will become the nutrients and shell that will give birth to the next generation, and finally in her fragmented body, a new "Heavenly Maiden" will come into being.

"So...... What do you think now? What can you do? ”

In Miss Tomiko's implicit words, I staggered out of the Japanese room, and returned to the Noyuri ward in a daze, listening to Mika muttering a lot, and then was informed by the hospital nurse that Saki was going to stay in the hospital for observation temporarily, and was also told that Miss Rokuchi had been rescued, but could not accept the visit.

Maybe it was because my condition was not right, but the nurse kindly took me to the doctor on duty for a physical examination, and after some examination, the result was that there were no problems. After that, after learning about the situation, Shion Aoyama volunteered to send me home.

I don't know how long it took, almost dusk sprinkled the earth, I returned to the door of the house with the support of Shiyin Aoyama, and saw Jing standing outside the fence in front of the house, her eyes of the same color as mine reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, like the shadowy dense woods in the depths of the mountains, and the danger hidden in the cold and desolate.

"Fold it, come here."

Jing stretched out her hand to me, and her gaze didn't fall on Shion Aoyama for a moment, as if there was something unclean on her body, and even a glance at it would make me feel disgusted.

"Oh, that's a ...... Have I robbed you of something before? If I do something wrong, tell me and I'll apologize to you. By the way, give your brother back, I didn't plan to snatch him. ”

Shion Aoyama let go of the hand holding me and pushed me behind my back again, and I staggered to Shizu's face, and was held down by Shizu's outstretched hands before I stood firm.

"Let's go home."

Jing didn't pay any attention to Shiyin Aoyama's intentions, took my hand and walked home, I only had time to say thank you to Shiyin Aoyama, and then Jing was pulled into the house. Before Jing closed the door, I vaguely heard Shiyin Aoyama muttering, "Really, I look so annoying." Such an impolite guy doesn't look much like me. ”
