[Comprehensive] Give me amnesia!

Her consciousness gradually blurred, like drowning in the deep sea, but she didn't feel pain.

(here it is……?)

Struggling to keep himself awake, his vision obeyed his will and brightened up little by little.

is the room.

There are equipment everywhere that look like those in the childhood research institute, but the shape is quite strange, and the era of technology cannot be recognized.There is no bloody smell or human figure, only the monotonous electronic sound repeats continuously.

Wait, electronic sound?

Erika tried to identify the source of the sound, but she heard it as expected——

[Experiment number 1035 is being launched, please prepare for it in all departments. 】

[Test location: Derived World CA051.Current level: Interference factor 5, judged to be cleared within three generations. 】

[Confirmation of world coordinates, confirmation of landing point, confirmation of timeline, and completion of identity information——]

[Plan "Nesarion" is ready. 】

This is the end of the cold electronic sound without emotion.

In the uncomfortable silence, one was completely naked.The naked figure walked out at a constant speed from the door opened by the internal test.

Erika looked at the man's face with some surprise.That person... looked extremely similar to her and the man she called her father.

He wanted to step forward to check, but his body seemed to be imprisoned in the air, unable to move.

A new voice appeared, this time a slightly playful male voice.

"Okay, I just added a new personality module for you. This is the last test - it's a test, and it's just a simple chat. Are you nervous?"

"Do not."

"Oh, I'm also a little nervous. After all, it's the first time I've done world elimination, and it's such a serious world crash accident. How can I put it this way, although they are all illusory worlds derived from fantasy, they are all living beings after all... you will Are you sorry, number 1035?"

"no feeling."

"I added a personality module to you, don't you feel like this?"

"The personality module is only for collecting the necessary genetic data, and the priority is low. Now I am fully awakened and will not be disturbed by personality."

"Eh……"

The man sighed inexplicably, seemingly bored.

"Can I release your awakened state now?"

"According to Regulation 111, if the safety device of the world's weapon experiment is released without authorization, there will be a certain chance that the personality will go berserk and the main world will be destroyed. It is recommended that the person in charge withdraw the order."

"I know... I'm just curious. In order to collect information, you need to reproduce at least three generations in those worlds. In order to deal with various situations, the personality module should be quite complete. It is said that except for the personality of the first generation, in order to ensure the ability to reproduce And choose the most popular module, and the subsequent ones will be automatically adjusted as you learn..."

The speaker's voice became more and more distant.

Erika tried to make out the words, but the voice was getting fainter and fainter like a candle in the wind.

The world is flipping, and the picture is constantly stretching outward.

The face felt the touch of the wind, and then—

Erika opened her eyes wide in surprise.

That is, the voice of the whole world.

The married girl dressed in white in spring, the smiling child hugging a big watermelon in summer night, the poet singing red maple in autumn, the old man dreaming with a fire in the snow in winter...

Countless hearts poured into her mind, but she didn't feel any pressure, only peace and tenderness, just like the palm of her mother touching her forehead in the fantasy dream later.

No magic, no spells, no superpowers.

This world composed of ordinary creatures has achieved something that Erika never imagined.

— World peace in the true sense.

In this galaxy named "Gaia"①, there is no higher world consciousness, and the thoughts of every creature are equal.A flower, a cicada, a horse, a person... All creatures, thoughts, memories and emotions are connected through the spiritual network.Contradictions are fundamentally eliminated because there are no longer differences of thought.The individual is the whole, and the whole is also the individual; everyone is the world consciousness, and the world consciousness is everyone.

Those extreme love and hate have been melted away, only eternal peace.

This is a world Erika never dared to imagine.

"Is it shocking?"

A man's voice sounded behind him, Erika subconsciously nodded.

"Every Namba tribe will experience Gaia's spiritual network for a short time before unblocking his mission."

"...You mean, the one just now?"

"Living under the strict laws of nature, we have endured countless painful lessons, squeezed our brains and bodies, and finally came up with this means to completely achieve peace—that is our creator."

The man said lightly,

"Fragile and beautiful, it is clearly the same as the highest intelligence in the world here, but it looks like another race."

"Why did such a beautiful thing create us?"

"Although there is no internal aggressiveness, if you want to survive, it is impossible not to engage in aggressive behavior. This is also the price of peace."

Erika thought of the information she had heard earlier, and smiled slightly ironically.

"For example——created the "Namba Virus"?A murderous monster like our family? "

"For example, in order to prevent the over-generated derivative world from filling the limited capacity of the primordial universe to explosion, an automatic exclusion device that can control the density of the world was created."

"That is to say, us?"

"Yes, Erika."

"There is only one real main world, the huge world consciousness completed by all living beings - "Gaia", overflowing with "thinking energy" every moment, and constantly generating frivolous bubbles derivative world. "

The man explained,

"These derivative worlds do not have such strict natural laws, and are always in a state of instability, fusion and explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that there is a considerable gap between the worlds and to regularly clear some of the extraordinarily bloated fusion worlds in order to ensure safety."

"And we, the descendants of experimental device No. 1035, shoulder the mission of clearing this overblown, high-risk world."

Erika fell into silence.

Perhaps it was because the shock she had seen before hadn't dissipated from her heart. Listening to her father's words that seemed to be taken for granted, it was difficult to feel angry in her heart.

She organized her words carefully, dodging possible traps:

"So——for the safety of that world, the world I lived in since I was a child, my mother, and everyone who made good memories together, are you going to sacrifice your life for it?"

"Do not."

She raised her head in surprise at the man's unexpected answer.

"Whether you really want to obliterate this world is entirely up to you."

"……I?"

"At every moment, countless automatic exclusion devices like us are sent to various derivative worlds. When the density of the universe drops to a certain level, all automatic exclusion devices will stop functioning. And we are still active now, then It shows that the density of the universe is still at a very dangerous level and action has to be taken."

"You say 'have to,' and you say I have a choice? "

"Yes, Erika. You should have heard No. 1035—that is, the image of your great-grandfather's memory. This world was supposed to be eliminated within three generations, but you are already the fourth generation. Integrate into the world through the personality module and collect various characters. The information and the preparation of the information loading of the final stage weapons have already been prepared in my father's generation."

"—But why were you born, Erika?"

The man's eyes were indifferent, like bitterness or gentleness, the girl stared at such a father, and couldn't help shivering.

"Originally, this world should end in my hands. Although your mother is powerful, if I don't have an affair, no one can stop me."

"hypocritical!"

She didn't want to give up the hate and love that had always been her goal in life,

"You were the one who gave up on me first, and you were the one who gave up on mother first, and it's all your fault—"

"It is true that I am not a good father."

The man smiled wryly,

"Not just about you, but about that other kid. I've acted weak and weak. It's really bad."

"..."

"But at least one more thing, I think I made the right choice."

The man bent down and gently stroked the girl's short hair,

"Maybe you will blame me for insisting on letting you be born. Maybe you don't want to accept such a cruel fate and hate that I have to give you the choice. But from my selfish point of view, it is good to be able to see you born .”

She seems to have run away.

Under the man's overly gentle eyes, he ran away in embarrassment.

Even if I keep telling myself in my heart that that man is dead, and what is there is just a phantom, maybe "Gaia", "No. 1035" and "Derived World" are all lies—but it can be engraved in a certain part of my heart, But telling her:

This is real.

For countless nights, Erika was woken up by the pain, feeling that her body and soul were separated, and she was just a smear on the outer layer of her skin, which would fall off after a little rubbing.

"Personality module" - Erika chewed on the word.

The look on her face when she thought of the conversation in 1035 completely wiped out human emotions, like a god or a machine.

(Is that state... a priority over me?)

As long as she thinks of what kind of thing is directing her body at this moment, she can't help but feel horrified.

(Got to get out of here--)

A strong expectation sprouted from the bottom of her heart, and she ran away without consciously regretting it.

(No. 1035 said that the priority of the personality module was low, but the man said that it was up to me to choose, and he couldn't figure out what to do.)

Erika stared blankly at the surroundings, the scenery changed a lot since she came in, the cemetery and the birds she saw at first disappeared, replaced by a dark dense forest.

The branches and leaves are overgrown, opaque, and the mute wind shuttles between the branches, as if the courtiers with evil intentions are plotting something.

"be lost?"

Erika froze and turned her head quickly.

The girl with long curly hair was sitting horizontally on the top of the tree, her posture was somewhat dangerous, but her expression was contented.

"... Aihara?"

Erika opened her mouth, and swallowed back the phrase "Why are you here".

If you were not sure about seeing that man before, you are very sure now.

Both that man and Aihara Satomi were completely dead.They should share their memories and thoughts with Erika's mental world through a form similar to the Gaia community.

"...So, you are also a "World Destroyer", that is, a member of the automatic exclusion device? "

"No, I was the same as Xiaohui when I was alive, I didn't know anything."

"That's right, if I knew at least a little bit, I wouldn't be as stupid as I was back then."

"Is Xiaohui feeling sorry for her sister?"

"Sex. A sister who harasses her is not a sister."

Aihara Satomi smiled innocently.

She shook her slender thighs, tapped her lower lip with her fingers, and her face turned suspiciously red:

"That's really a difficult choice, whether to be with Xiaohui...or to be called sister...hehehe..."

"Shut up! You idiot!"

She was worried about the fatal incident of being robbed of her first kiss, but Erika would not bother with a dead person, she snorted twice, and heard Satomi Aihara put away her frivolous attitude, and said seriously:

"Strictly speaking, I can only be regarded as a scapegoat, and I have not inherited the real core module."

"?"

"Speaking of...my mother and our father are actually siblings—do you know that?"

"……what?"

"The first generation of World Destroyers is a product of pure technology, you should know that, right?"

"Ah."

"Because it is a technological construct, although it can simulate a genuine carbon-based life body, it does not have so many restrictions on reproduction. Therefore, it is just a deception and symbolically follows the ethical regulations of human beings. The attributes of the first generation of World Destroyers are different. The most popular type among human beings is simulated, just to ensure the World Destroyer plan and reproduce as many offspring as possible."

"..."

"So, do you understand? Xiaohui's brothers and sisters are much more than imagined—even those "beasts" are also your brothers and sisters. "

"What are you talking about?!" Erika couldn't understand her words at all, her eyes looked like she was looking at a lunatic.

"It's like the sperm of human males. Out of tens of millions, only one or two can successfully combine and complete their mission, and the rest are waste."

Aihara Satomi pointed to Erika, then pointed to herself,

"Xiaohui is a perfect product, I am a half-finished product, and those "beasts" are not even half-finished products, they can only be regarded as one-time products of waste recycling. "

"If Erika is the key weapon as the final implementer of the plan, I can be regarded as an important "key" to unlock the arsenal through self-sacrifice, and those are the pieces left behind by advanced technology in collecting information from various eras following the World Destroyer Two Martians, totally worth mentioning. "

Satomi Aihara said.

But Erika is not concerned about this.

She thought of the accusation she had heard from Saiki Kusuo about the "beast" kidnapping his mother.

She thought of the days when she had traveled through time and swallowed her breath to stop the beast from swallowing history.

Erika was at a loss, and asked softly:

""Beast", is it our partner? "
