Chapter 9: "None"

It's still a dark and scorching basement...

The yellow light of ** is here, but it gives people a chill to the bone. Sitting on the throne built by the nutrition tank, Araya closed his eyes expressionlessly, and continued to be a recorder, observing everything in Ogawa's apartment in the twilight of his life, but in his mind he recalled everything that had happened over the years.

- Thoroughly record each death, and then repeat it all over again with the replicated puppet. The idea of a genius is also the act of a madman, just when Araya is almost successful, fate ruthlessly tells him that all this is just an illusion... No, fate is unreliable for an existence like him, which has become a concept.

He just lost to the inhibition of this world again.

It's nothing, for this duel that was only him at the beginning, but he had to fight against the entire world, Araya had long been accustomed to cruel rules.

What's more, this is not the way he has the best hope, if Ogawa Apartment can't give him an answer, then this will be his solidified enchantment through the woman called the two rituals to reach the source of his fascination.

Syllable.

After a short and dull sound, a faint light appeared in the elevator, and when the elevator doors finally opened, a man in a red jacket and a blue kimono walked out of it, somewhat embarrassed.

"I warned you not to come here."

There was still no emotional fluctuation in Araya's tone, yes, why should he pay his feelings for the tools he had created? But thinking about it in another direction, this cold question is already the highest degree of warning.

The red sleeves were torn into strips of cloth, binding the broken wound on his left arm, and of course, some bright red continued to ooze from time to time, but Araya didn't pay any attention to this... Bai Chun also understands that this is not a good place to heal, so there are more important things to come here.

"You said the puppet I was watching has collapsed?"

did not answer the other party's admonition directly, and the rare sober reason made the murderer raise his voice and ask rhetorically.

"Of course, I made the doll myself, and it collapsed 14 hours ago."

Araya answered the former's question very firmly, because it was not speculation or conjecture, but information that was simply fed back by data and magic. Yes, it was a pointless thing, but he answered anyway... Because I vaguely feel the possibility of some kind of accident.

"Huh... It turns out that you have also made mistakes? ”

A hint of sarcasm hung on the corners of Bai Chun Lixu's mouth, this middle-aged man who single-handedly turned him into a monster has always given people unfathomable illusions, and even many times, the other party's god-like strength and ability have made the killer feel powerful oppression from different levels. But until today, he suddenly discovered that the other party was just a person.

"He didn't die, and he had a new body. Don't doubt what I say, I won't forget that smell once I've been exposed to it. And this guy also interfered in the incident about Fujino Asagami. ”

This time, Araya didn't ignore his question, and he didn't mean to answer either.

On the one hand, there is no need for him to answer, and on the other hand, it is also he who is thinking.

Although Bai Chun's sudden visit had already faintly made him have some speculation about this matter from the beginning, on the other hand, Araya had not been able to give a reasonable answer to the current situation. In this worldly realm, without the attachment of the body, it is impossible for ordinary souls to exist for a long time, maybe... Is the other party's origin at fault?

The mystery has become even more numerous.

Because this aspect is actually also inexplicable, as an expert in the soul directly inspired the origin of the master of ceremonies, Araya, knows better than anyone what it is like there. The desolation of nothingness is the whole landscape, and the origin of this puppet has been "nothing" from the beginning. So how is it possible for "nothing" to re-give birth to the concept of "being"?

Did you miss it?

Araya hesitated rarely, he repeatedly replayed the memories of the time, but he couldn't find any possibility of deviation, but the fact had already happened, so he couldn't believe it.

Or, after leaving here, the origin of the doll that gave birth to its own soul changed?

Although it is the most absurd and unrealistic speculation, this is the closest speculation to the answer at the moment.

"Get him back."

Without hesitation, he commanded that the doll had regained its value to be studied. Of course, Araya didn't mean to take care of Bai Chun's injury, this sentence was just a simple order.

And after the order was issued, Araya closed his eyes again and sat motionless on his throne, on the other side, Bai Chun, who was dragging his injured body, gritted his teeth fiercely, and quickly turned around and left here... From the very beginning, he had no choice in this matter, and what he should be thinking about now was how to complete the task and save his life at the same time.

—————————————————————————————————————

Twist it!

The crazy force acts on the back of the master of ceremonies. The vigor that comes from the skin and muscles makes people feel no sign of rebellion. You can only understand this feeling by experiencing it yourself, and this feeling is more like being distorted in the world you live in than being pinched in the hands of giants.

The hard mold wrapped around the outside of his body has been reshaped, and the naughty craftsman twists the originally straight form like a twist for some reason, not to mention resistance, I am afraid that there is no way to even talk about the object of resistance...

That's how it all happened, that's all.

This time, it's really going to die.

When he really faced the moment of life and death, the master of ceremonies was incredibly calm.

Of course, this was not to sit still, he was still running as hard as he could, even at the moment when the pain came, two powerful long legs were constantly galloping towards the darkness - he never gave up the possibility of survival, but strangely, as if he suddenly looked at himself from a third-person perspective, he clearly knew that he was going to die.

Looks like that's the end of it.

The plan has been going smoothly, but after the most and the last, his luck is really not very good, if it is the arm... Even if one leg is locked, the master of ceremonies has the possibility of escaping, but if it is a torso, there is no way.

Just like what I have just witnessed, the skin on the back is pulled by the torsional force at first, creating a circle of obvious creases, then the muscles, then the bones...

Gazing at all this in the unknown void, he suddenly came to his senses - wasn't that himself? So why do you see your death from such a perspective now?

Suddenly, the extremely basic and ordinary concept of "me" was activated, to be precise, this was the first awakening of "me" after coming to this world, and the strong sense of strangeness and disobedience was completely erased because of the pain, and it was not until now that the master of ceremonies finally existed alive in this "puppet", not something that operated the puppet's body.

As soon as I realized this, the pain from behind my back disappeared immediately...

Is it painless?

The master of ceremonies had no time to pay attention to this, his legs never stopped, and the shiver from every pore made him keep speeding up his progress, but in a few breaths, he disappeared into the night.

Yes, he miraculously escaped after being locked and Fujino's abilities had taken effect, and not only that, but the body didn't pay any price other than a slight bruise.

What's going on?

The master of ceremonies wanted to calm down and think about this problem, but once he got out of that state, the fear of belonging to human beings finally took over his heart, and under the blank of his brain, he could only keep urging himself to run away a little further, a little farther

In this way, the rush of death lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the master of ceremonies finally stopped in a place where the shape of the artificial harbor was completely invisible, and he gasped for breath, enjoying the pleasure of escaping death.

"Whew... Call... Whew..."

Sweat slid down his forehead, but when his breathing was not fully adjusted, he began to laugh nervously, and the shrill sounds did not seem to come from his throat, but of course, the crazy laughter lasted for quite some time.

Half an hour had passed since the attack began, and the master of ceremonies had finally regained his previous calm, found a stone staircase to sit down, and sorted out his thoughts.

There is no doubt that the reality now is that he survived and was almost unscathed.

That's the ideal outcome!

But he also needs to know what this is for... It's a fact that he survived, but it's also a fact that he was locked by Fujino's abilities, in other words, because of certain factors that allowed him to circumvent Fujino's twisted superpowers and escape safely.

What could it be?

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, the frightening scene just now didn't give him much time to think about it, fortunately, before fear eroded his mind, the master of ceremonies had extremely calm memories.

Yes, it was that feeling, or rather the state that prompted that feeling to happen, that saved his life... So what is it exactly?

The master of ceremonies called out the blood-red system panel again, and those cold symbols and words appeared in front of his eyes again, and one of the ordinary notes caught his attention.

Origin Awakening: None

Has the Origin been awakened, but it turns out to be "nothing"?

Up to now, the master of ceremonies has some completely different guesses, judging from the enhancement of physical strength, he has definitely awakened the origin Yes, the problem is that "nothing"...

Perhaps what is represented here is not the original meaning of the word, but simply a code name, a name.

That's right, perhaps, the name of his Origin Ability is called - None.
