"Another day of peace!"

Standing on the balcony and stretching beautifully, Wood shook his head as he looked at the corpses of the weirdos on the street.

These unlucky weirdos are definitely because of the legend of 'elite weirdos gather in a ghost town', and these days Saitama sensei goes out for a walk, and he always kills a few.

I don't know who made the rumors.,Recently, there has been a long time on TV to report the news of the ghost town in Z City.,The Hero Association also attaches great importance to this place.,I heard that I'm going to send heroes here to investigate in the near future.。

What are you kidding, there will be elite eccentrics in such a place?

I'm afraid I'm here to find death!

Not to mention the entire Z City, even in the whole world, is there anything weirder than Saitama-sensei?

And most of the weirdos are changed by human beings because of some kind of vice, or pressure, and they can be said to be a group of crazy people.

How could these madmen come together.

You don't want to start an association of weirdos, an organized and disciplined way to destroy the world, do you?

Wood shook his head, dissipating the ridiculous thoughts that had come to his mind.

"Genos, if you see those corpses, go and incinerate them when you have time."

"Yes, Brother Wood."

Genos looked up in response, then glanced at Wood with some confusion and said, "However, Senior Brother Wood, is there something wrong with your state?" Every day it feels like you didn't wake up. ”

Before the words could be spoken, Genos noticed that Wood's body was stiff.

"Nothing."

After a while, Wood shook his head, ignoring the puzzled Genos, and continued to look into the distance.

Wood had already found out that something was wrong with him.

Or rather, from the moment the giant body appeared, he had already had a problem.

Not physically, but mentally...... and even the problem of the soul, although I don't know how the fusion function can make myself have one body and two bodies.

But he could feel it clearly......

It's a wonderful feeling, you can't see it, you can't touch it, but you can feel that 'it' exists.

If I had to describe it in any word, it would be......

- Soul!

Ethereal soul.

His soul was torn in half, and Wood could clearly sense the 'other self' in the other half of his soul.

(Warning, xenogeneous energy reaches a critical point where the host's soul can tolerate and attempts to terminate the fusion.) ）

This warning from the system made Wood confirm his guess.

At that time, the termination of the fusion was not successful, so the fusion of the giant's body was far beyond the critical point that his soul could bear.

……

"Here?"

Black!

All together it was so dark, the light was completely swallowed up by the darkness, and there was no light here.

When he opened his eyes, Wood was already standing in the center of this dark space.

Look up and look into the distance, which is a dividing line.

On the other side of the dividing line, there is a very different green space.

This made Wood sure he had been here!

Unlike the last time he had a wisp of consciousness, this time he appeared here in the form of a half-vampire.

Wood stands in the middle of the dark space, looking out towards the central area of the green space.

There, the other 'self' stood there lifeless with his eyes closed.

When 'yourself' opens your glasses.

Wood's vision is divided into two parts, looking at himself, and both can see the other self from the opposite side of him.

But when the giant's body opened its glasses, the green light around its body was magnificent.

The whole green space began to shake at this point.

'Click——! ’

A crack sounded in the silent space, the giant's eyes closed, and Wood looked up, a dark crack in the distant void, green space.

Seeing this scene, a flash of horror flashed in Wood's eyes.

He finally understood the meaning of the system's words before sealing the second physique.

The other half of his soul is gradually crumbling......

It's just that because of the seal, it hasn't affected me now.

But Wood could feel it......

Once the second soul is completely broken, it may be ...... by the stimulation of energy Self-destruct!

Becoming more and more lethargic already shows that his soul is gradually weakening.

Until......

The moment he fell asleep completely!

I don't have much time left.

Death!

No matter what he has been through and how strong he has become, these two words are beyond his reach.

Some people think that they are afraid of death because they have a lot of things to do and do not have time to do what they want to do, so they feel that death is a terrible thing.

Some people believe that they die because they are afraid to face death alone.

Some people believe that people have the habit of being content with the status quo, and that the status quo of people is 'living', so everyone has the habit of being content with 'living'. Compared with the habit of 'living', death is only once, there can be no learned experience, everyone is unfamiliar with 'death', and between life and death, it is not as easy as walking from one step to the next.

Therefore, the so-called 'fear of death' is actually 'fear of life'

Some people think...... Many, many, many reasons.

None of these words are wrong, and they make a lot of sense.

But—

Wood still didn't understand why he was afraid of death, never understood......

I didn't think that if I died, I couldn't do what I liked; I didn't think that if I died, I couldn't love my relatives and friends; I never thought that if I died, I would face an unfamiliar environment...... And so on, and so on, for so many reasons.

Wood can be sure that he doesn't think so.

He is simply afraid of death.

Born of instinctive fear of death.

If the fear of death is the inferior nature of human existence, then Wood feels that this inferior nature is the proof of his own existence.

So......

I don't want to die!

"Brother Wood, Brother Wood, Brother Wood......"

A sense of shaking came, and Wood's vision changed, and in the blink of an eye he was back on the balcony, and the sudden light made him squint.

The system prompt sounded, as if to wake up Wood, and as if waiting for him to wake up.

[The host's thirst is detected, do you actively cross it?] 】

Active traversal?

Wood frowned and waved his hand at Genos, who was shaking himself behind him, "I'm fine. ”

What am I craving?

What does not wanting to die have to do with crossing over?

And so on –

Wood's eyes lit up, and now that he understood that the problem came from the soul, he just had to find a way to strengthen the soul.

Soul.

Disembodied.

But it's only relative to the ordinary world that he once had, from the moment he got this crossing system, it was impossible for him to return to the ordinary and ordinary world.

As he knows, there are many worlds related to the soul.

You don't need to despair!

And if you take the initiative to cross, you should be able to decide the world by yourself, otherwise there is no difference with forced crossing.

Be!

Wood made a choice with mixed feelings.

I never thought that I would choose to take the initiative to cross......

[The traversal system is activated, target world: pitch-black bullets, the host will be sent to this world in 24 hours, please prepare the host!] 】

Huh?

“……”

Wood was directly stunned by this information.

The difference?

What is the difference between this special and coercive?
