episode.57 The blood-colored flower will bloom
Even Nangong Hiiragi has archives that he doesn't want to read, a past he doesn't want to go back to, and established events that can't be changed, because even if he goes back to the past, he can't change the future in any form at that time.
Suppose a little girl is hit by a truck in three seconds at a distance of 50 meters, and the little girl's family must have been hit very hard because of this accident, right?
But even if this is the case, even if he understands such a future, Hiiragi can't change the accident that will happen soon.
At that time, Nangong Hiiragi was also an ordinary person, still a junior high school student, how could he run fifty meters in three seconds and save that little girl.
Of course, it may be possible to read the save file before this point in time to reach the scene of the incident first, but what is the point?
The first to read the archive from a minute ago, Hiiragi was also not there at that point in time, so it was too late to rush over;
Then read the archive directly a day ago, in order to prevent the little girl from being hit by a truck and killed, he was the first to rush to the scene to wait for the rabbit, and then drive away the little girl, but the final result was that the little girl was killed by the truck together;
Then read the archive from a day ago again, Hiiragi also took the means of kidnapping the little girl, but the final result was that Hiiragi, who was a junior high school student, was also discovered, and was taken away by the police for education, unable to prevent the incident;
Although these are all 'hypotheses' in Hiiragiya's mouth, they actually exist and have happened.
Hiiragi, who didn't have any abilities other than reading archives at that time, how could he find a way to change that future?
Even the parents who went to warn the little girl would be treated as a child with a mental problem.
Hiiragi isn't a hero either. It is impossible to save everything.
In Xiao Nagi's words, it is [all because of the lack of ability of the parties. It's just that this situation is also a matter of course. The world is so harsh, while giving you hope, it adds an extra layer of despair. γ
Therefore, Hiiragi is also well aware that his ability to read saves is not omnipotent, and sooner or later, the combat method of cutting time will also encounter enemies who can restrain this ability.
You don't have to think about it to understand that if Hiiragi's enemies use a nuclear bomb to destroy this place, Hiiragi has absolutely nothing to do to change the situation.
Even if you read the save files of the previous days, you can't figure out where the enemy is. It is impossible to prevent him from launching a nuclear bomb.
Of course, fleeing is a practice, but since the enemy has such means, it is pointless to escape.
To put it simply, that's Hiiragi's weakness, and it's a disadvantage of ability.
It's like Arima Guisho is undefeated, but this sentence also proves that he also has enemies that he can't defeat.
"You know what? Hiiragiya ~ Good deeds and evil deeds are essentially the same, both are actions made by human beings in order to make up for their own shortcomings. β
What a writer, Hiiragi replied with a sigh
Isn't that a self-exculpation? If evil is essentially the same as good, there will be no right guy in this world. β
"Isn't that it? You're not so naΓ―ve as to think that something like CCG is justice, right? β
"I don't say that, people at CCG have their own way of life. I'm the same now. β
"Yes.................."
This is the roof of a building in the 18th arrondissement, sitting on the edge of the roof without any guardrails. Hiiragi also drank the coffee she had brought up.
A month after the previous raids, the CCG began to ramp up its crackdown.
Now the meows in all areas are being made panicked, for fear that one day they will be found by the suitcase.
It's just that the battle of the Bronze Tree is also meaningful, that is, it has obtained a lot of information about the inside of the CCG.
Because this section doesn't exist in the original work.,The plot developed by his own distortion is not very clear.,Hiiragi doesn't make an evaluation.γ
Sitting next to him was Aite, cloaked and bandaged.
She and Hiiragi sat on the edge of the roof, swinging their legs to stare at the setting sun in the distance.
The Bronze Tree has been a little bit less popular lately, but it's still going on a variety of battles in the shadows.
For example, accepting security commissions from the Seed Restaurant, eliminating hostile Species, and threatening the Investigator here.
Looking at Aite beside her, she couldn't see her expression at all because she was wrapped in bandages and wearing a cloak.
"By the way, by the way, the coffee is good?"
"It's up to personal judgment, anyway, I think it's good, at least I can reduce the idea of cannibalism."
"You're not human, so you can't shelter those guys."
"That's why I said it's just a reduce, if there's that impulse......"
Hiiragi didn't continue, but took another sip of coffee.
It's a little bitter, but there's a reassuring smell wafting through it.
"Then give me some."
"Hey, don't just grab it."
was snatched away from the coffee in his hand by Aite, and Hiiragi also sighed.
Looking at the coffee that was still half left in the cup, Aite's mouth peeked out of the bandage, and drank it down.
"It's hot...... It's really annoying. β
It turned out to be a guy who was afraid of heat, or was he just performing?
Throwing Hiiragi's coffee cup to Hiiragi casually, Hiiragi almost broke it.
It's thanks to Xiao Nagi that he sat here and chatted with the One-Eyed King so leisurely.
After that battle, Hiiragi also met with Nagi and the sisters Anjo in an underground parking lot, heard everything Nagi had told about what had happened and what she had done, and led them to the Bronze Tree.
Of course, it is impossible for Nagi to be accepted as a human, so Nagi is now living with the Anju sisters in an unpopular hotel not far away.
It's just that the eighteenth district can be said to be the territory of the bronze tree, and there are no meows that dare to mess around, so it can be said that it is an alternative peace.
"But those guys are really annoying, and so is that Arima."
"That's true, it's tricky. Aite, what are you going to do? β
"How? Are you talking about the next arrangement? β
Aite said as he stood up. Start walking along the edge of the roof.
Aite, who had a good sense of balance, stopped in the corner of the roof. Then jump up and spin around.
"Of course, let's make us stronger, that's fun, so that more people can master the art of destroying CCG."
This is, of course, the meow species.
The Bronze Tree lost a lot of combat power in a few battles, so it needs to be replenished.
Although Kamidai Charong, Kaneki, Xuandu, and Naki are all strong existences, what is needed is more combat power, more mew that can destroy everything.
Aite is not for fun, but for destruction, and fun is just an incidental product.
The reason why I'm here. And thanks to that.
Then the next step is to 'make' a 'stronger' mew seed, that is, the one-eyed mew seed.
However, the god of the 'raw material' has been taken away by an unknown person (in fact, it is the Lotus of the Four Directions), so another 'raw material' is needed.
And as the target of the next raw material, it is the 'unkillable owl', Fangcun Gongshan.
"Aite, may I ask a question?"
"Whatever you want, there is no one else here anyway, Mr. Tatara should have gone out."
In this bronze tree, there are only three people who fully know Aite's identity, and that is Hiiragi, Noro, and Tatara.
No, maybe there are others. But that's not the point right now.
"Have you ever wanted to be a normal human being?"
"What does that mean? It's not a joke to be a human. Read more of my works and accumulate knowledge! β
Aite said with his hands on his hips, and his tone seemed to be mixed with some unhappiness.
Even so, Hiiragi didn't back down or stop the conversation.
"I'm not joking, but I'm serious about asking, I've been human before, and I know the joy of being human, and in my opinion, the sense of companionship isn't as strong as I thought. Even if you fight together, you won't end up perfectly. β
"Are you looking down on me? If you want a chess piece, you can get it if you want. β
"I never said you don't have the power to protect yourself or others, it's just that you don't want to do it, although humans and mews can't live in peace, but maybe there is another choice."
"So, Hiiragiya, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Oh, I don't know what I'm talking about, so let's just think it's my own talk."
Humans and mews are fighting to survive.
"But I hate your all-knowing tone."
"Exactly, so do I."
Hiiragi also remembered Xiao Nagi, this girl is really loved and hated.
Just as Hiiragi said this, Aite walked up to Hiiragi.
"You're just an interesting pawn to me."
Aite grabbed Hiiragi and put his right hand outside the roof, Hiiragi also let his feet fly into the air, and the updraft blew his clothes to hunt.
This is the fifteenth floor, and even if it's a mew seed, you'll usually die if you fall down, especially a guy like Hiiragi who can't use Katsuko.
Hands were raised, and Hiiragi made a gesture of surrender.
Obviously, Hiiragi also understands that he sees Izumi Takatsuki too simply.
She is older than herself, has been through hell, has seen many misfortunes, and she can be said to be an expert in this area.
Hiiragi also tried to get close to the psychological world of the writer, but some of them failed.
It's only because of the strange abilities that I've shown before and the mutation into a one-eyed meow.
"I'm interested in you, and our 'scientists' are interested in your becoming one-eyed, so if you're useless......"
That's a huge sense of oppression.
The bandage behind Aite shattered, and the cloak flew up.
Behind Aite was a large number of Hezi made of Hebao, tangled together like pieces of flesh, like bare bones.
Immediately afterwards, Hiiragi also heard the mournful screams of human beings, as well as the sounds mixed with various kinds of **.
Through countless mutual cannibalism, she has become powerful.
How heavy the darkness that precipitated in his heart was, Hiiragi couldn't imagine.
Most of Hiiragi's misfortunes come from accidents, while Aite's misfortunes come from the whole world.
"I'm sorry for what I said, Mr. Takatsuki."
ββ¦β¦ It would be interesting to hold you accountable for the obstruction and hostilities you had taken against us in the past, once you were useless. β
Putting away Katsuko, Aite put Hiiragi back on the roof as well.
Hiiragi, who was caught by the hem of his clothes and had some difficulty breathing, coughed loudly.
Aite raised his hands to balance, then leaped off the edge of the roof.
"That's the end of the joke, let's go down, maybe Ayato and they'll be back."
"I see."
Hiiragi also stood up and followed Aite, he understood that it was no joke at all.
Hiiragi has encountered many murderers so far, and Aite is more murderous than any of them.
But...... If that's really a joke, it only shows that Aite is a powerful character who is crazy and rational.
In Hiiragiya's opinion, this kind of character is difficult to deal with, and it is difficult to find weaknesses.
"Speaking of which, have you heard what Mr. Tatara told you about the various regions?"
"Ah, I heard that."
"Okay, what will CCG do next?"
As she went downstairs, Hiiragi also thought back to some of the information Tatara had told her earlier.
Zones 1 and 2 are heavily guarded, with many white pigeons roaming around;
District 5 is a relatively stable place;
Ward 23 has a Quakulia Shelter, which is very dangerous for the Qualia;
The 21st and 22nd districts are fighting against each other, which is a bit chaotic;
There has been a war between the Species and the Investigator in Sector 7, and the current situation is unclear;
The Sixth District is the area once ruled by the Divine Generation, and is now ruled by other meshes.
There's still a lot of information, and Hiiragi hasn't completely sorted it out all at once.
"Let's talk about it."
Walking on the top of the stairs, Aite suddenly asked
"What is your purpose, it is not possible that you chose to join the Bronze Tree because you became a mew and sought shelter, right?"
"It's not a good reason to make, for me, following your plan is the right thing to do."
"That's, what does trust mean?"
"What is it?"
"Confusion is born from firmness, firmness destroys and confusion, and if you take it too seriously, it will be counterproductive. Well~ Anyway, as long as you don't hinder me, it's fine. β
That's nature, Hiiragi nodded.
Joining the Bronze Tree wasn't Hiiragi's purpose in the first place, but since they've done so, there's no reason to leave the Bronze Tree and fly alone.
"Everyone's together."
Coming to the floor below, Tatara appeared in front of Hiiragi and the two of them.
Tatara stared at Hiiragi for a moment, then turned to leave.
Follow the hallway to the doorway of a room, which leads to the central hall of the building.
This hall is on the tenth floor, and Hiiragi only found out after some investigation.
Pushing open the door, under the beige light, Hiiragi's familiar characters all appeared sitting or standing in front of him.
"Hey! Brilliant capital! What are you looking at. β
"You're illiterate anyway."
"Don't look down on me!"
Naki and Ayato had a small argument, and Kaneki quietly sipped his coffee.
Here, it's the Bronze Tree. (To be continued.) )
