I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

"His imprint contains multiple wills and multiple miracles."

Fu'er stared at the engraving in shock, and then suddenly realized.

As someone who had risked everything to mobilize miracles in desperate situations, he himself had doubts about how a person could summon miracles with the residue of his consciousness.

Even if this can really cause the distortion of the world, the way to achieve it is unlikely to be to be imprinted by Alaya, but more likely to be the birth of a [Contained Object].

Because the residue of consciousness is simply not enough to bear the weight of the miracle, they will only be swallowed up by the miracle and completely turned into fuel.

However, if it is a plural will, then it is easier to understand.

Although the experiment failed, their consciousness did indeed come into direct contact with the miracle. Even the ashes after being burned by the flames would always have the temperature of the flames.

Their will is the same.

Reaching the other side of miracles with superimposed willpower, there are no heroes in history who have done such a thing.

Even those cases are basically... huge sacrifices that cannot be mentioned casually.

The sacrificed companions of the [Miracle] holder, together with their prayers and blessings, brought the radiance of miracles to each other.

Therefore, all the heroes born as a result will forever exile themselves to the border and engage in wars with disasters one after another.

This is both his obsession and their obsession.

If it were under similar conditions, then the situation of No. 15 might not be incomprehensible.

Maybe the administrator, Miss Audrey, didn't have pure intentions. Maybe she was still ignoring the lives of these clones for the sake of the results of an experiment. But compared to those other researchers, she indeed gave the most basic care to every newly awakened clone.

So that at least they can have a touch of the warmth of life in this short life cycle, which may be evenly distributed to each individual's life cycle of less than a week.

An obsession that is enough to make them leave behind the remnants of themselves.

So Fu'er softly told his speculation to NO.15.

Including that he may be the collection of the remaining wills of all experimental subjects, and thus summoned miracles and Alaya's attention.

"That's it, I seem to understand a little bit."

He grabbed the seal with his slightly injured right hand and spoke softly.

"I have always been curious about why I am the only one left who has regained his will. From this point of view, this is just a coincidence..."

He smiled bitterly, rarely showing a more obvious expression.

"At that time, the training warehouse I was in was the one closest to Audrey. Maybe it was because of this that I woke up..."

"It turns out...he told me that they are not failures, they are my brothers. Is that what he meant?"

"……………………"

"What do you think of that Audrey manager?"

Fu'er looked at NO.15's expression and asked while transmitting his information needs through the computer.

"She...is a very important person to me..."

Without too much thinking, NO.15 answered.

"Even if you know that you and your fellow brothers are just consumables in the experimental plan managed by the other party, and that your lives are just a series of numbers that can be quantified and paid, do you still think so?"

"But my, our lives are also because of her, aren't we?"

NO.15 turned his head, looked at Fuer, and said softly.

"No matter what, since I got the possibility to return to the world because I wanted to protect her, then I don't have much objection to the fact that my life will be paid for in the other party's plan."

"Then, a few days ago, when being chased by which monsters, instead of escaping, chose to turn around and protect the people in the orphanage?"

"I did it subconsciously."

"Subconscious?"

"Yes, it's really just subconscious."

NO.15 looked at the ceiling and said slowly.

"I know that it is the instinct of all living things to avoid disasters and save one's own life. But at that moment, my instinct was to protect others. To be honest, this is something that I can't even understand. It's like I paid everything I have Just like I exchanged my freedom for you for the right to survive, I shouldn’t have looked back.”

"But you still came back."

"Yeah...I still replied. Why is this? Maybe Audrey once told me that she hopes I can help more people..."

"Has she ever said such a thing to you?"

Fu'er thought deeply and glanced at the file that had just been sent from the computer in his hand.

"Do you remember anything more about her?"

"I don't remember much. Although part of my memory has been restored, there are still many fragments missing... including, I don't quite remember what I experienced after waking up for the second time, and how I came back again. Sleeping in a petri dish.”

"But I still vaguely remember that I was probably sent into the petri dish by Audrey."

"That's it... I'm really becoming more and more interested in that Miss Audrey."

"…………"

"Mr. Ful...can you find her?"

After hesitating for a while, NO.15 supported his body, endured the pain, sat up, and said.

"Even though I know that ten years have passed since I fell asleep, ten years is still an acceptable span compared to human lifespan. I want to know, Audrey, now..."

"She's gone—"

Fu'er interrupted NO.15.

"Unfortunately, ten years ago, not long after you fell asleep, all the members of [World Soul] died due to an accident. And after the investigation, she was included in the death list."

Fuer turned his laptop to NO.15. Above it was a character profile file.

[Audrey Paldridge, female, senior cultist of World Soul]

[Died together with other members in the World Soul Gathering (see the investigation report on the World Soul Mysterious Gathering for details)]

[The body has been confirmed and is buried in Broken Hill, Australia. 】

"So...she is no longer here?"

He had obviously just recovered part of his memory, and had just found some self-worth, but with Fu Er's report, his mental support collapsed.

However, in Fu'er's view, the other party did not seem to have broken goals in life, but had returned to the way he had just been when he found out he had woken up.

full of confusion.

"If you want to take a look, I can take you to her cemetery..."

"No... no need..."

NO.15 shook his head.

"Although... I still don't quite understand why I want to visit the people who lost their lives. But... if I really want to go, I don't think I should be like this... She once told me, I still It has never been realized.”

Looking away from the information, NO.15 looked at the few people he could speak to and asked.

"Fu'er, can you tell me? How can I help more people?"

"…………"

After a moment of silence, Fuer sighed.

That's why he couldn't understand it. It was obviously just a copy of the [Savior], and even the target came from someone else's words with unclear purpose, but he embarked on the most difficult road without hesitation.

Is this the so-called joke of [fate]? Or something else?

Fu'er glanced at Sylvia who was leaning aside. The other party noticed his eyes and just smiled and winked at him.

It means, you have to make up your own mind. She has already told you what should be told to you.

………………

"Can you feel that mark of yours?"

NO.15 nodded.

"Activate it, control it, and use it. Don't worry about who you use it on or how you use it. We have smart people here to arrange a path for you. All you have to do is to implement it according to the established arrangement and save it."

"In this way...can I help more people?"

"At least you won't hurt more people."

"I understand."

When the engraving appeared, the light was dancing, as if he was excited about his choice, so NO.15 stretched out his hand, grabbed the light, and held it tightly in his hand.

He has made a choice.

"Please tell me, what should I do?"

"all in all--"

Fu Er stretched out his hand and said.

"Welcome to the Hero Management Bureau."

Through the engraved touch, they gently held each other.

[Phew—The director’s mission is finally completed. 】
