Yes...

Where is this?

In the deathly silence of darkness, Abe Heiji could not feel the presence of his body, and could only scan the darkness in front of him helplessly.

Where is this?

In the boundless darkness, there wasn't much to interrupt Abe's thinking.

It's just that in a trance, Abe Heiji feels that this thinking is not so real, like a mirror, although he keeps asking where he is, but he can't elicit thinking every time.

Heiji Abe felt that his brain suddenly shut down every time he was about to think about this crucial question.

It's not that Heiji Abe can't figure out where this is, it's that his own brain refuses to answer the question.

This condition is even different from amnesia because the brain is still able to respond to a refusal to answer when a person has amnesia.

And now Abe's question seems to sink into the sea, and he can only stare at the darkness in front of him like a stone statue.

After countless questions were not answered, Abe's consciousness gradually fell into a drowsy again, until he couldn't even see the darkness in front of him.

Yes~

Yes~

Two babbling voices sounded in the darkness, waking Abe's consciousness again.

"What's the sound?"

Abe's question this time was effectively answered, but it was not from Abe's own brain, but the meaningless whispering in the dark.

Ahh

Two short, hurried babbling words, neither echoing nor follow-up.

"Anyone?"

"Is anyone there?"

Abe Heiji couldn't determine the specific direction of the voice, so he could only let out inner cries and questions into the darkness and silence.

Ahh

This time the response was two babbling of different lengths, and the change in the length of the voice suggested that there might be some kind of wisdom in it, such as some kind of special code, which gave Abe Heiji hope again.

"Where am I?"

Ahh

"Who are you?"

Ahh

Heiji Abe asked two different questions in a row to whisper in the dark, but he got the same long and short answers.

This annoyed Abe Heiji a little, as he was the minister of the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country, he had never been so despised by others.

"Where are you? I'm looking for you! ”

Abe Heiji shouted at the darkness again, although he couldn't feel the presence of his body, but the strange thing was that Abe Heiji was able to utter the words that came to his mind every time, so that another voice in the darkness could hear it.

Yes~

This time it was an elongated voice that responded to Abe Heiji, and the same voice was hoarse and ugly when forcibly elongated, but it surprised Abe Heiji to judge some directions.

Heiji Abe was overjoyed, and he was about to take a step towards the location of the voice.

But when the mind really needs to be implemented in the body, Abe Heiji discovers...

It turns out that I don't have a body at all!

Aside from Abe's self-consciousness, Abe doesn't feel anything else that he should be able to control, but doesn't have right now.

What about my body?

"Where's my body?"

"Where did you get my body?"

"Give it back!"

Abe let out a hysterical howl, but given that he had no body, these were not actually howls, but only imaginary sounds.

But the voice of a child in the darkness is to hear these imaginary voices and respond to them.

...

"You..."

"Gotta show me to see you."

I don't know how long it took, but Abe Heiji, who had barely regained his composure after resting, made a request to the voice.

The tough tone matched the identity of the Daimyo Mansion of Abe Heiji Fire Country, and what was even more surprising was that the voice in the darkness actually responded in a tone that was obviously submissive.

Ah~ah...

I don't know what it means, but Abe Heiji acquiesced that the voice agreed with his command.

"Good... Let me see you. ”

"Come on, let me take a good look at you."

The next moment, Abe's world was suddenly lit up.

In just an instant, the dark world was overrun by light, leaving no haze, not even the darkness that was trying to resist did not exist.

In the midst of this light, Abe Heiji saw a grayish-white "walnut kernel" with a hint of pink remaining.

Even without waiting for Abe Heiji's further request, his eyes quickly narrowed in with Abe's desire to explore, and he came to this "walnut kernel".

At close range, the kernel becomes incomparably larger, and its form is no longer a shrunken kernel.

But...

A human brain!

The moment I saw the human brain, the question that had been put on hold because of the downtime of the mind suddenly had an answer.

And this answer is like a flood gate, and thoughts flow into Abe's thinking like a spring.

It's my brain!

I'm in my brain!

I saw my brain with my own eyes!

This pseudo-proposition-like setting was immediately accepted by Abe Heiji, because it did not allow Abe Heiji's refusal at all, it was an idea that was forcibly poured into Abe's mind.

[Get 400 shiver points from Heiji Abe!] 】

Just as Abe Heiji was experiencing the wonderful experience of seeing his own brain with his own eyes, it was the whispering voice of the previous child that interrupted Abe's thinking that gradually fell into a dead loop.

In the midst of the childlike whisper, Abe's vision turned uncontrollably to the side of his brain.

After the vision turned, Abe Heiji saw the "kids" who had been communicating with him just now.

It was a large wall of black flesh that extended to the periphery, forming an ellipsoidal black hall.

In the middle of this black hall is his own brain.

And those black flesh walls are not bare, they have big black mouths on them.

These large mouths open and close up and down irregularly, and the teeth of the upper and lower jaws are spliced together without leaving any gaps, but the moment they open still allows Abe Heiji to see the abyssal darkness inside.

In addition to the darkness in their mouths, these big mouths have another thing in common.

That is, between the collision of lips and teeth, there will be a childlike whispering sound.

Ahh

The infinite repetition of the deep tone rushed into Abe's brain like a magic sound.

This is a literal influx into Abe's brain, because these big mouths are aimed at Abe's brain!

In an instant, a series of terrifying thoughts and terrifying existences poured into Abe's brain again.

Mi Go, Hughes, the Ancients...

[Get 740 shiver points from Heiji Abe!] 】

These indescribable beings tore apart the last sanity of Heiji Abe.

Even as he watched Shogues' big mouth pass through the last gap between him and his own brain, frantically eating his own brain, Abe Heiji was indifferent.

Eventually, Heiji Abe watched his brain be engulfed in black, and the world was once again plunged into darkness.

A darkness where there is no thought.

...

On the real side of the world, Mute is still comforting Red Bean.

Not far away, the white cloth covering Abe's body was making various irregular bulge movements.
