Very, very strange rain.

Thick clouds covered the sky, as if it were very close to the earth. Even, just slightly above the head.

Whew! Whew!

The sound of the wind came to my ears, and it was also very close. Even, it sounded between the ups and downs of his chest, as if it was the sound of his own breathing.

Something is coming. Even if it's unfounded, it doesn't matter.

The wind echoes like a wail, or is it really the wind?

It was not so much the wind as the sound of breathing from above the firmament, in the darkness without light. It reverberates around every corner, even in your heart.

The moment he understood this, even the monster in his chest was silenced.

"I'm sorry, I promised you, but I may be about to miss the contract. Because here we will be separated. ”

The beautiful voice that I had just begun to hear sounded in this breath from above the sky. At a glance, you will see the side face of a wonderful girl with a delicate silhouette.

The body seemed to be taken, but it just turned its neck to look around.

Raindrops fall to the ground, beating in a bizarre beat. It's like a gaze from above.

"Don't follow – even such advice is superfluous. You can't get involved in it, as long as you have the most primitive emotion of fear, you can't even see. Fear restricts one's vision, so the more fear one has, the less reality one can see. So leave it at that, forget everything you saw today, and act as if nothing happened. ”

In front of her, the girl smiled quietly. It's just that in her eyes, it's more like an expression of realization.

"Goodbye—perhaps, goodbye."

With a smile that was too clear and delicate, such words were left. Stepping softly, the girl walked forward to the sound of breathing above the sky.

Just one step away, the girl disappeared into the gaze above the sky.

At this moment, the wind and rain changed.

The form may not have changed, but it is no longer the sound of breathing above the sky, no longer the gaze of gazing above the sky, no longer the strange feeling that gives people.

It's as if that thing devoured the girl and then left satisfied.

What should I do? Such a strange scene......

It's only a one-sided relationship just now, and it's not even far from acquaintance, and even this process is not friendly at all.

According to the girl, forgetting all this seems to be the only option that suits you. But—

Lowering his head, the rough wind pressure wrapped his whole body, but it was just ordinary wind. It was completely different from the wind that had swallowed her.

"Probably...... It's because you just cried. ”

Remembering the words that the girl had whispered to me. Why does she look so lonely when she says this?

"As long as you have the most primitive emotion of fear, you can't even see it."

What did she see when she said this?

Slowly extend the index finger of your right hand and gently press it against your temple.

Flutter!

The index finger runs through the skull and plunges deep into the brain. She took a breath of cold air and stirred and fumbled her index finger in her brain. And then—

"Smack!" With a thud, pull out hard.

In my mind, I was filled with light like an apocalypse. Under the light, fear and anger melted away like spring snow.

In the crooks of the fingers, small almond-shaped objects are pulled out of the brain.

The amygdala is the brain center that controls fear, the most primitive human emotion.

In that instant, the heavens and the earth changed.

The fear that had vanished turned into glass-like shards, as if riding the wind and turning into rain. Melted into the breath above the firmament, into the gaze above the firmament. The senses are expanded in an almost infinite way, and the mind is diverged in a nearly infinite way.

The sky covered with clouds has become one with the earth.

It's like they're one.

Murmuring 1

Man's voice: "Lately, I've found myself hating you more and more. ”

Woman's voice: "Oh." But I like you. ”

Man's voice: "You are willing to obey my orders, not my advice." I'm sick of you for that alone. ”

Woman's voice: "I'm sorry. The concept of being a 'mother' is much earlier than being a 'wife'. If you want to punish me, you can do whatever you want after that. But until then, unless it's your command......"

The man's voice: "I said a long time ago, I won't order you." ”

Woman's voice: "Yes...... But at least, I can't hide it from you - that would be pointless. I would like to use two scenes as a blueprint. First, it is the most everyday and common scene in the memory of 'me' (pronounced 'she' in the third person). Use this scene as a blueprint to create the only refuge and clues; The second is the place where we used to be separated. Based on this scene, we make a guide sign to guide the direction. ”

Man & Woman: "For our (other) daughter." ”

Woman's voice: "Following the ancient etiquette, hereby declare: Murus00i - 'the other side of the fourth wall'." ”

Sound forcibly pulls back consciousness from the senses and thoughts that are infinitely diffused. The solid feeling of the earth awakens itself again.

Did you hear someone say something just now?

Shake your mind vigorously and try to refocus your attention.

Now, it's very quiet. It's incredibly quiet.

Only by moving your legs can you hear the sound. It was the sound of your own footsteps, which could only be heard when you stepped on the high-end wooden floor.

Maintaining a stance of taking a step, she turned her gaze and looked left and right.

Old lecture halls, old student chairs, cracked blackboards and lecterns. It was as dark as an abyss, running across reason.

Eliminating her fears, she naturally found herself in the middle of it.

But that feeling is not suddenly overlayed, nor does it feel like throwing yourself into it.

It felt even weirder, more incredible. It's like it's always there, but you can't see it. An unbalanced sense of madness that causes people to refuse to see what they should be able to see. Thus, "the more you fear, the less you see"?

Meow!

As if to remind her, the white cat that walked in front of her whispered. It's so white that it seems to fluoresce slightly.

Suddenly, the white cat smiled.

Cats may be one of the few animals that can smile, but no one would think that cats actually know what this expression actually means.

But the white cat really pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a sharp and shocking smile.

In the next moment, a strangeness directly eroded the vision.

It was a myriad of looming figures. Everyone was formal and well-dressed, just like the students of the old aristocratic academy that were rumored.

They marched in groups to the podium. Soon, the already large podium was filled with a crowd. However, it is unbelievable that the number of people moving towards the podium has not decreased, but has increased.

Just when it seemed that the crowd on the podium was about to be squeezed down, an indescribable thing happened.

The crowd was on top of the podium, piling up. Even if countless people from the lower classes were crushed by the crowd, they would not stop piling up. In an instant, the pulpit turned into a mill for grinding meat, and the limbs, pieces of flesh, and broken bones of people became more and more numerous, and they became taller and taller.

Although it sounded incomprehensible, the increasingly tall mass of flesh quietly opened its eyes.

Losing her fear, she was able to stare coldly at the strangeness in front of her.

(That's what she said, something that no one else can intervene in?) ）

She pulled the corners of her mouth, and was even in the mood to think about something inexplicable.

With the loss of fear, the most primitive emotion, the imperial instrument of reason also begins to loosen.

"Ha ......"

She exhaled slowly, and every cold corner of her body was accumulating energy of activity.

A large amount of growth-promoting sex hormones are infused into every cell, and the whole body trembles with excitement.

Compared to the indescribable monster, she was more like a real monster.

Hehe~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~he

It seemed to be mocking, and the low laughter like ** fell in this wide room, like waves and waves. And she was in the center of this spiral, raging with incomparable presumption, screaming, running, tearing.

The figure was frantic and brutal, like a beast and a monster.

But in any case, absolutely, absolutely, not like human.

The white cat narrowed its eyes and paced gracefully in between.

"Ahaha! Aha ”

With a shrill burst of laughter, she stretched out her arm.

In an instant, her slender arms swelled from the inside out, bursting apart. The flesh-colored vines rushed out of their limbs with an unstoppable force, piercing through the approaching flesh mass in an instant, and then recovering again.

She raised her hands in the air and clenched them hard.

Boom! There was a dull loud bang on the ground, and the blood-red liquid rushed into the air like a fountain, spilling down like raindrops. Just a slight stain is enough to corrode the floor and crack the walls.

The incomparably high feeling is mixed with obvious desire. The smell of flesh and blood is as intoxicating as the finest wine. She added new fingers and vented the joy of growth.

“！”

Quietly, and elegantly. The white cat caught up with her in amazement and landed on her shoulder in amazement.

Bright emerald green cat's eyes, staring at her suggestively.

"Have you calmed down?"

It was impossible for a cat to speak, but it seemed to be saying this.

Suddenly, I felt a chill on my back.

It's about to boil his mind, and it quickly cools down at this moment.

The moment his gaze stopped at the moment when his footsteps were fixed, for some reason, his mood returned.

Completely, rotten. Inside and out, this classroom for some reason is completely unlikely. Is that self-inflicted?

The carrion and stumps had covered an entire layer, and the touch of wood was no longer under your feet.

(No, I'm not going to get drunk on impulses...... ）

Close your eyes and remember what your teacher taught. Quickly, I found myself.

Grunt.

She stopped and closed her eyes for a short time, but the flesh did not stop, but became faster and faster. It was already about to burst, like a caterpillar's body writhing and struggling.

With a "snap", the corroded classroom door fell. For some reason, there was a glare of light behind the door that looked like an exit.

Bend your knees and support your body with incredible strength. Like a cannonball, she flew out of the classroom in the sea of flesh.

_

In an instant, it was "back".

The moment you enter the door, you feel like you've entered another world. And this world, giving people a feeling of "coming back".

But in fact, this is not a scene that can be called "coming back".

This is yet another classroom. However, unlike the previous classroom, this is a modern classroom. The moment I stepped through the front door, I felt a sense of relief.

Obviously, this is absolutely impossible to exist in the actual structure. And, very obviously, this classroom is independent of what has been seen before. It can even be said that it gives people the feeling of covering it.

Moreover, it is somewhat familiar. Where exactly have you seen it?

After thinking about it a little in my memory, I actually found the answer.

(Tokiwadai...... ）

Classrooms in the far far east, almost a third of the way around the world, appeared here so abruptly.

The breathing gradually subsided, and nothing strange appeared. Only from the back door, a bright light shines inward.

“……”

After only a moment's hesitation, she walked through the back door.

Ten spherical rays of light briefly seized the field of vision, and a strong smell of disinfectant rushed up. She adjusted her eyeballs, quickly adjusting to the light.

As she had expected, it was a room that looked like it was completely headless and tailless. The structure of this room was almost the most familiar to her.

The ten spherical light sources were now standing a little higher in front of them, and they were the light emitted by a shadowless lamp on the operating table.

This is an operating room.

The operating table was empty, but the signs monitoring equipment was ringing on its own. No doctors, no patients, no alarms, no anomalies.

She stepped forward, and there was a note on the empty operating table for some reason.

After thinking about it, she picked up the note.

The note contained words of unknown significance.

Message 1:

Limit.

Whatever we do, we are born into it, we grow in it, and we are destroyed in it.

No matter how hard you try, the limit determines the acquisition and destiny of mankind.

You can't swim like a fish, you can't run like a cheetah, you can't fly like a bird.

And yet—

Is that really the case?
