As for more detailed things, such as what kind of transcendent organizations are in the Tokyo Survival Zone, Hattori Maki is not very clear.

Even the Metropolitan Police Department doesn't have a lot of information.

At the end of the day, the Metropolitan Police Department is still responsible for the problems of ordinary residents.

For example, neighborhoods fights and brawls and the like.

In the event of a serious wasteland invasion, the Metropolitan Police Department can only send a message to the transcendent side of the survival zone and wait for them to solve it.

It's not early.

『Let's talk again when you're free, by~』

Musashino changed the account status to offline.

His recent personal experience, as well as today's small talk, have given him a new understanding of the situation in Tokyo's survival area:

Erosion of the wasteland......

In fact, it never stopped!

For example, "Van Gogh in the painting" and "The Thief's Box".

Who would have thought that an oil painting in an art museum or a clothing store owner in a department store would be a wasteland creature lurking around them?

It's just that the vast majority of serious incidents are resolved before they are exposed to ordinary residents.

That's why it's a peaceful place overall.

In fact

Perhaps every moment in the survival area, there are extraordinary forces engaged in a fierce struggle with the wasteland.

"It's just......

"Why should the IPO organization treat some prepared transcendents as mentally ill?"

For example, he and Nao Immortal.

Is it to train new members of the organization?

There's no need to sneak around.

Musashino decided to put the issue aside for now, at least after determining the nature of the IPO, there was no need to worry about Kiyose Fujimi Hospital harboring malicious intent.

There is food, drink, and beautiful nurse and young lady......

There are also free transcendents as bodyguards......

Wow!

As for the medical expenses or something, it's a big deal!

In short, you can observe for a while, and the escape plan 2.0 will be put aside for the time being.

Musashino then took out a small square box the size of a palm.

- This is the wasteland dropped by the "Thief's Box".

It was pitch black throughout, with only a few dark streaks on the top of the lid, carved with what appeared to be two overlapping souls, and the box was locked with a silver metal lock.

He turned the lock, only to find that it couldn't be opened.

"What is this thing for?"

Musashino tried to inject a little energy.

Bang!

The box jumped to its feet, and then trembled violently, as if it was afraid of his energy.

Whew—

The lock opens.

At the same time, Musashino's mind instantly received a large string of messages, which seemed to be actively transmitted to him by the small box in front of him.

"It's in ...... Introduce yourself? ”

【Seals (Wasteland) Information Archive】

Name: The black box for the soul

Source: The thief's box

Level is unknown

Function soul exchange

How to Use

The user can select a target and swap souls with that target.

After the soul swap is successful, only the supporters of the "Black Box for Souls" can take the initiative to terminate the swap.

During the exchange, if the Black Box for Souls is unexpectedly depleted, you must wait for it to refill before the exchange can be completed.

The cooling-off period is 48 hours.

Precautions

(1) Only those who are spiritually transcendent can use the wasteland, otherwise it is easy to cause confusion and confusion among the souls, causing the two sides of the exchange to become dementia.

(At your level, just be careful not to turn the other person into an idiot)

(2) Obtain the consent of the other party before the exchange, otherwise it is easy to fail.

(3) If consent cannot be obtained, a forced exchange may be performed while the target is asleep, paralyzed, or unconscious.

Sealing Method

The item has living properties and needs to be sealed.

During use, the "Black Box for Souls" has a chance to devour the owner's soul and take over the body, resurrecting as a wasteland creature, the Thief's Box.

Soaking in a strong acid solution can effectively inhibit its activity.

(At your level, you can ignore this method)

......

Musashino patiently reads:

"Good guy, I specially gave me a few parentheses."

Obviously, the equipment dropped by this wasteland creature is quite dangerous.

It's just that his strength is much greater than that of the "Thief's Box".

So don't worry.

"Swapping Souls ......"

He picked up the black box for the substitute and closed his eyes.

Ono 1~100 flew out, and the three-dimensional panorama of Kiyose Fujimi Hospital quickly appeared in my mind.

Eh, hey~

He turned his perspective:

Let me be Kang Yikang, which young lady is so lucky!!

Since it was late at night and most of the people in the hospital were sleeping, he could choose his target at will, even without asking for permission.

"Forehead ......"

After looking around, he realized a problem:

In this hospital, most of them are ordinary people.

The spiritual strength of ordinary people may not be able to carry the powerful function of this seal, and if they are not careful, they will have an accident.

Tut~

What a kind person I am!

So it's up to you, Natsuki-san!

Sayaka Natsuki is a transcendent and should be able to complete the experiment.

Musashino adjusts his vision.

At this time, Nurse Natsuki was in the duty room, quietly reading a thick pathology book under the lamp.

Although she yawns a lot, she has no intention of sleeping.

"Nope."

Musashino outright rejected the exchange plan.

Natsuki is awake.

So after her soul is transferred to me, she should also be awake, if she sees that she suddenly grows a cow......

You'll be scared silly.

Musashino finally cast his gaze on the lounge opposite the duty room:

Kogoro Suzuki is lying on the couch.

Whew-

He snored so loudly that he slept very soundly.

"Director Suzuki's words seem to be feasible."

Although not a young lady......

But......

Nurse Natsuki is still awake, and he exchanges his soul for the past, which is equivalent to pretending to be Kogoro Suzuki, and can ask about the secrets of the IPO organization!

The usefulness of Soul Exchange has increased!

Musashino locked on him with his spirit and activated the "black box for the soul".

Drip ~ drip ~ drip ~

Inside the black box, white light flashes three times.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the empty lounge.

Musashino sat up.

He grabbed his hair and tugged it down.

"Well, it's the familiar bald head of Kogoro Suzuki."

I'm ...... now

I became Director Suzuki!

He straightened his collar and walked out of the break room.

During this period, Musashino kept an eye on the "self" lying in the hospital room, and once Kogoro Suzuki showed signs of waking up, the exchange was immediately terminated.

Push open the door to the duty room.

Natsuki Sayaka quickly stood up:

"Director Suzuki?"

She glanced at the time.

"There's still 1 hour to take over the shift, you can rest for a while."

Musashino waved his hand: "No. ”

He pulled over the chair and sat down, and then carefully considered how to communicate with Natsuki Sayaka, it would be bad if he talked about the wolf.

That's five minutes.

Hiss~ I really don't know how to talk!

Nurse Natsuki looked at him blankly:

"Director, why don't you speak, are you angry when you get up?"

"Ah......h

"It's okay director, I will keep it secret for you and not tell your sister-in-law about stealing private money, peeking at the little yellow saucer, and stealing your daughter's milk powder!"

"Shhhh

Musashino couldn't help grinning, it seems that Director Suzuki's life is quite colorful!

Cough!

He cleared his throat and decided to cut to the ground with a jack-of-all-trades:

"Natsuki, what do you think of the current state of your work recently?"
