Don't worry, Yokohama is about to end

"You said Sakai Chu died?"

In the dim temple, a man was sitting on the throne with his chin resting on one hand. He turned his face sideways, and his face was hidden between the light and shadow, making it difficult to distinguish the specific expression.

"Tsk, useless waste."

The man flicked his finger lightly, and the temple instantly gathered several strange lights, briefly illuminating his clean chin and the silver hair on his shoulders.

The radiance dissipated, and a water pattern mirror appeared in front of the man.

What was printed inside was the picture of Mei Zhishang hugging her friend's corpse in a thunderstorm with her head down.

The man looked at the water lens calmly for a moment, and suddenly smiled happily, "Forget it, this is also a surprise, compared to the boring drama of "friend betrayal", obviously this pain can wipe out you more. "

"After all, love is the only thing that can make a soul miserable."

He stared at the girl in the mirror and said softly, "How long can you last?" Yokohama. "

??

The flood in Yokohama City two days ago finally receded, but it also left a messy street.

But the mental state of the city's citizens does not seem to have been affected too much.

After all, compared with the previous double package of earthquake and tsunami, the natural disaster this time is not so unacceptable.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the people living in Yokohama have a strong heart.

Simply put, they are used to it.

Atsushi Nakajima lay by the window, watching the people going back and forth on the street, yelling at the people who were moving furniture and cleaning up the mess.

It was clearly a lively and lively scene, but Hudun boy saw it, but for some reason, there was an indescribable depression.

"Mr. Dazai..." Atsushi Nakajima turned his head to look at the senior who was fishing on the sofa, "It's been two days, Yokohama... still hasn't cleared up."

That's right, this is where Atsushi Nakajima is disturbed.

48 hours have passed since the flood, and according to meteorological common sense, the sky should have cleared up long ago.

But in fact, let alone sunny, they haven't seen the sun for a long time.

From the moment when Mei Tomogami, the girl in the sky, lost her best friend, the detectives who had never been to the refuge were surprised to find that the sky above them turned from sunny to cloudy without warning.

Dark clouds weighed on everyone's heads, and thunder could occasionally be seen flickering in the thick clouds.

Everyone is waiting for the arrival of a heavy rain.

However nothing happened.

There was no wind, no thunder, and no rain.

The dense black clouds just overwhelmed the sky over Yokohama. When I raised my head suddenly, there was a thrilling feeling that the city was about to be crushed by thunderclouds.

Osamu Dazai was lying on the sofa with his arms pillowed on his back, holding a book in one hand, and seemed to be reading it carefully. In fact, only the young man with eyes knew that he hadn't turned a page for a long time.

"Tun-kun, do you know which one is the best to deal with among the people being interrogated?" Osamu Dazai said abruptly.

Why do you ask this all of a sudden?

Atsushi Nakajima was at a loss, but he still thought about it for a while, and replied unconfidently: "Is it the kind that is afraid of death?"

The young man on the sofa prolonged the end of the sound seriously, and said in a cute tone: "Well——according to common sense, this is indeed true, but unfortunately, the answer is wrong!"

Atsushi Nakajima: "Hey!"

"Listen to Dun Jun, the best person to deal with is always someone who has a bond in his heart."

Osamu Dazai's voice suddenly calmed down, like a straight line without emotional ups and downs.

Due to the angle, Nakajima Atsushi couldn't see the expression of the kite-eyed youth, but with his intuition, Atsushi felt that Dazai was not in a good mood at the moment.

"Tearing up important things for people to see is the way to completely kill such people." Osamu Dazai said.

??

Tomoshang Mei went crazy.

Song Beiquan looked at the back of the silver-haired girl slaying monsters with a knife from a distance, and felt her heart tremble.

Two days ago, the passing of Sakai Dazhuang seemed to have taken away all the senses of Tomogami Mei as a human being.

The girl becomes unaware of fatigue, unaware of fear, as long as she can still hold the knife, she can keep going.

"laugh……"

The last shadow man was crushed by Gloria, and Mei withdrew the blade expressionlessly, shaking off the black blood on the blade.

The silver-haired girl turned her head, her golden pupils looked coldly at the person behind her: "Come up, is this here?"

"Yes Yes!"

The young man in a white coat shuddered at Mei's gaze, and without any hesitation, he ran forward to look through the information.

This is already the third institute they have destroyed.

For the past two days, their schedule has consisted of three things: "circle suspicious research institutes - go to destroy - search for information". Song Beiquan only needs to be responsible for the first and last items, and the rest will be done by Zhishang Mei Do it alone.

With the weapons and AI left by Sakai Dazhuang, no matter how many shadow monsters there are, they are meaningless to Mei.

Guns, light bullets, gun blades.

Weapons that can be seen clearly and cannot be clearly seen are freely circulating in the girl's hands. Sometimes, Song Beiquan, who is on the sidelines, even feels that the person standing in front of him is not a human being, but a completely humanoid weapon.

Song Beiquan flipped through the materials of the entire research institute as quickly as possible.

During this period, Mei Zhishang didn't do anything, but stood quietly by holding the gunblade, staring at the sky with golden eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

10 minutes later

Song Beiquan stood in front of the girl with cold sweat all over his face, his voice trembling with fear: "No, no, here."

"yes……"

The silver-haired girl withdrew her gaze, and calmly glanced at the waste paper in the man's hand: "Then the next one."

Mei Zhishang turned straight and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road, regardless of whether Matsubei Izumi behind him could follow.

The young man in the white coat squeezed the documents in his hands violently.

He suddenly raised his head to look at the girl's back. At this moment, the exhaustion and anger accumulated in the young man's heart finally overwhelmed his fear of Mei. He opened his mouth and shouted at the girl, "Stop, Zhishang Mei!"

The silver-haired girl stopped and turned to look at Song Beiquan.

Songbeiquan held his breath, and rushed to Mei in a menacing manner.

He wanted to throw the document in his hand and slam it on the girl's face, but when he touched the latter's dead eyes, Song Beiquan's heart stopped, and finally he just threw the paper on the ground forcefully, as if to vent his anger. step on two feet.

During this process, Mei just watched calmly without saying a word.

"Mr. Zhishang..."

The white coat took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart and said slowly, "I am different from you, I am not a machine, I need to rest."

"But you rested at night and slept like a dead pig."

"I!"

Song Beiquan's heart was suffocated, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

You call it rest if you just find a piece of trash to sleep on the floor?

What he wants is to go back to the base, take a good shower and change clothes, lie down in bed and have a peaceful sleep, this kind of "rest"!

The young man stared at Mei, the girl's half-dead face made him more and more angry, and his anger would burn instantly.

Song Beiquan grabbed Mei by the neckline and pulled him viciously... Well, he leaned in front of her, "Mei Tomoshang, I know that Sakai Daisuke's death is a shock to you, but you have to figure it out for me! I am not your father, so I have no reason to tolerate your willful behavior!"

"Want revenge? You can do whatever you want if you want to be paralyzed, but I'm a human being! I need to be a human being!"

Song Beiquan roared, his chest heaved violently due to the shouting.

Panting, he looked at the girl who had remained indifferent, and suddenly said, "How long has it been since you closed your eyes, Mei? If Da Zhuang is here, can you bear it?"

In an instant, the silver-haired girl's calm expression was shattered.

The color of extreme pain suddenly appeared in the empty eyes, she turned her face suddenly, and took two steps back, "I see, let's stop here today."

Song Beiquan let go of his hand, showing a satisfied smile.

I'm sorry, kid, although it's bad to poke someone's wound, but I still think it's more important to take a proper rest.

After all, the combination of work and rest can give full play to its value.

Wait, why does he call himself "Uncle", he is only 23 years old!

Song Beiquan sat in the car with a serious face, and fell into deep thoughts.

"Alice, go back to the base."

The girl in the driver's seat tapped her brain.

Seeing that the vehicle was about to start, another AI popped up suddenly, squeezing out Alice who hadn't had time to respond.

It's AI Sakaguchi.

【"Miss Mei, I scanned a suspicious building, which contains a large amount of data flow response, maybe it is the place you are looking for."】

A blue light curtain was projected on the windshield, on which the sneaking route was still intimately marked.

Mei Zhishang's pupils lit up: "Alice, change the itinerary and go to the target location."

[AI Alice: ...]

Song Beiquan in the back seat: ... Zhuo!

??

Song Beiquan got out of the car with a dark face, and followed behind Mei silently.

Yes, he had nothing to fear.

At this moment, the resentment of not being able to rest and being forced to be a social animal overwhelmed all fear, Song Beiquan stared numbly, watching Zhishang Mei single-handedly chopping melons and vegetables in front of him.

Occasionally, when black blood splattered, he even leisurely stood by and wiped off the unknown substance on his face.

After an unknown amount of time, the movement of the battle ahead stopped.

Songbeiquan waited and waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the girl's "call".

What are you doing?

The young man came out of a safe corner strangely, and impatiently swept over the front seat.

The next moment, his eyes froze, and he finally understood the reason why Mei didn't speak.

I found it.

In the laboratory that was blown away in front, transparent culture tanks were neatly placed like a vertical showcase, and each tank was filled with survivable culture fluid.

At the same time, countless adult-sized brains are sleeping in it.

Puff, puff.

Along the connected electrodes, Mei can clearly see the curves of "them" beating on the electronic device.

"Hahaha! I found it! I found it!"

Song Beiquan jumped over Mei, who was standing still, and rushed into the laboratory almost cheering.

The man was overjoyed, he couldn't wait to flip through all kinds of information, and roamed through the data happily, not noticing the extremely ugly expression of the silver-haired girl at the door.

"what is this?"

Mei looked at the absurd things in front of her in disbelief.

An indescribable nausea gushed out of her throat, the girl wanted to vomit, but nothing came out of her empty stomach.

She just remembered that she hadn't eaten for a day.

Mei walked to one of the culture tanks, brushed her fingers over the gray nameplate at the bottom, and a line of familiar words jumped into her eyes.

【Alice (Mori Ogai) Birthday: February 2th No. F17】

The girl's pupils shrank, she seemed to have thought of something, and quickly wiped off the nameplates on the surrounding culture tanks.

As the dust was wiped away, familiar or unfamiliar names appeared in Mei's eyes.

【Birthday of Tian Shan Hanakou: January 1, No. F22】

【Ango Sakaguchi's birthday: October 10, number F20】

……

"They...are they all you, Alice, Hanakou, Sakaguchi?" Mei Zhishang asked softly.

The AI ​​didn't answer her, only the girl's voice echoed in the huge laboratory.

The silver-haired girl covered her mouth in disgust.

What is intelligent AI, what is a miracle that spans a century——

These!

Aren't these real people!

Mei gasped for breath with difficulty, she felt that the optical brain on her wrist was burning, the scorching temperature almost dried her soul.

"Big harvest, big harvest~"

Song Beiquan walked up to Mei with a thick book of experimental data in his arms. The young man looked at the girl's pale face suspiciously, and quickly revealed a clear expression, "Ah, are you pitying them? I know, I know , a lot of ordinary people who don't understand science do that."

"I thought they were people or something, but it was just a misunderstanding."

"When they were very young, the core parts were taken out and cultivated using painless techniques. The adult brains you see are actually thanks to the growth fluid."

"Okay ok, they don't feel, don't hurt—"

Before the young man could finish his chatter, Mei grabbed his collar and interrupted the next sentence.

"What did you say!"

Mei Zhishang raised her head, and there seemed to be a flame of anger burning in her golden eyes, "Look at my eyes, you bastard, say it again?"

Mei's reaction made Songbeiquan a little scared. He stepped back and wanted to wave the girl's hand away, "Why are you crazy? What I said is just the truth. If you have any opinions, you can send them to "Miracle Science". What's up! "

"you--"

The silver-haired girl was out of breath, and before she could speak, countless sharp whistles suddenly erupted in the laboratory.

[Warning—Warning——]

[Detecting an outsider intrusion, the anti-virus program starts...]

[Preparation for countdown to rejection gas, 30, 29, 28——]

what happened?

Zhishang Mei and Songbeiquan were taken aback at the same time, and the latter reacted immediately.

"Oops! The protection system should have been accidentally triggered. It doesn't matter. I remember that just in case, there are safety isolation devices here. Where...where is it!"

The young man in the white coat shook off Mei's hand and frantically rummaged through the laboratory.

where!Where is it hiding!

Song Beiquan muttered to himself, almost uncovering all possible places, and finally at a certain moment, his hand accidentally touched the mechanism.

A red button appeared under his eyes.

Before the young man was ecstatic and greeted the girl, a line of small characters came into his eyes.

[Rescue isolation device, only for one person...]

The smile on the young man's face froze, and he moved his gaze to the left, where there was still a spare gun.

Meanwhile, there are less than 20 seconds left in the countdown.

"Haha...haha, hahaha, so it is like this, so that thing has this idea!"

Song Beiquan looked at the two things, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Mei looked at the young man's shrugging shoulders, and calmly reminded: "Uncle, time is running out, let's run away."

"Hehehe, run?"

Song Beiquan said softly, a series of titters couldn't stop overflowing from his mouth.

"We can't escape!"

The young man suddenly turned around, grabbed the spare gun, and pointed the gun at the girl.

"So? Are you going to kill me?"

Tomoshang Mei stared at the young man with bloodshot eyes without changing his face.

Suddenly, she didn't feel like talking.

She felt a strong exhaustion, drowning herself like a huge wave.

Da Zhuang's death, these messy experiments, Song Beiquan with a mad face.

Everything, like a slideshow, switched before her eyes.

whatever……

In the next second, under Song Beiquan's amazed gaze, the silver-haired girl who had always straightened her back slumped her shoulders. She put the gun blade back into the scabbard and looked at the young man calmly, "If this is your choice, it's up to you .”

Zhishang Mei turned her face away and stopped looking at Songbeiquan.

"Uh..." Song Beiquan slowly opened his eyes wide, and slowly, an extremely complicated smile appeared on his face, which seemed to be hatred but also joyful, "Hahaha, what is this, it's so ridiculous, this Him? What the hell!"

"Tomoshang Mei! Do you think that you will be liberated if you die!"

"Hahaha, poor! I feel sorry for you!"

The young man covered his eyes with one hand and laughed crazily, but soon, his laughter stopped.

As if the previous madness did not exist, he calmed down and looked at Mei, "Everyone has counted my choice."

"But I changed my mind."

Song Beiquan lowered his hand as if giving up, and in the last five-second countdown, he punched hard on the red button.

The next moment, an oval-shaped machine popped out of the wall behind Mei, swallowing her in one gulp.

Tomoshang Mei: "Wait! Uncle!"

The girl struggled to get out, but was caught by the protective rope in the device.

Countdown to three seconds——

Song Beiquan threw away the gun in his hand, and threw the experiment report in the girl's arms.

"Struggle to live, Tomosami Mei."

"Compared to people like me, you are more worthy of living."

Counting down a second——

Under the isolation cover of the device, the moment the oxygen in the inner chamber spewed out, the silver-haired girl saw the researcher who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and smiled at herself in relief.

He said, "That's up to you, hero."

[Drip—the time is up, kill the program execution...]

……

The world fell silent.

so quiet

In the device, Mei hugged the gunblade tightly in her arms, and slowly curled up her body.

"I'm not a hero, I... can't be saved by anyone."

……

??

- "checkmate"

"you lose……"

a child's voice

In an unknown space, Tong Yin's master was sitting in the nebula, and in front of him was a chessboard made up of stars.

At this point, the chess game is clearly coming to an end.

The white piece strangles the last black piece, and the knights approach the city, only one step away from the throne.

"is it?"

The AI ​​on the opposite side of the chessboard raised its head, revealing a pair of iris-colored pupils.

He turned his face away with a smile, and cast his eyes on the screen - the silver-haired girl holding the knife.

"You know, even though we are planning everything here, it seems to be high above."

The AI ​​with iris-colored eyes chuckled and said slowly, "But in fact, the people who run the world are people called chance, who shout, gallop, and bleed in the storm." ①

"Hmph, pretending."

Tong Yin's owner didn't care about the AI's warning and scoffed.

What runs the world is bloody and screaming human beings, bored, do you think that the result of enjoying it longer is the same?

Tong Yin's owner stood up in disappointment, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a slight movement on the astrolabe, and a black chess piece quietly appeared beside the "Queen".

This chess piece that suddenly appeared silently guarded its side, and with just this movement, the other scattered and discarded chess pieces on the astrolabe appeared to be faintly guarding the center!

This game of chess is alive again.

"How is it possible? What did you do!" Tong Yin's owner screamed in horror.

"Sarah, what is it?"

The AI ​​with iris-colored pupils smiled, blinked mischievously more like a human than a human, and said, "If you are curious, go and see what you want, just use your noble eyes."

at the same time

another yokohama city

"Can't wait any longer!"

With a loud sound of beating on the table, Ango Sakaguchi stood up, propping up the conference table with both hands, his eyes flicked across the faces of the participants one by one, "The "spirit transfer" must be activated immediately! "

"Mr. Fukuzawa, Chief Mori, I know this is a risky move for your organization, but that child and our time are running out."

Ango Sakaguchi said, looking at the screen.

Above that, a string of data is being displayed, one of which is extremely eye-catching.

[Zhishang Mei: SAN value 35 (extremely dangerous, has a tendency to self-destruct.)]
