Chaldea Extra Story·AveMaria

【How easy it is for a person to become a devil.Because the devil is next to God. ——No, the devil is in the heart of God. 】

When they came to the next supply point, it was just dawn, and the edge of the dark blue sky was dyed a thin red by the new rising sun, as if knocking over a powder box, and it was slightly charming. The rouge color comes.Fujimaru Tachika moved her stiff shoulders, and let out a long breath in the slightly stuffy protective clothing.

finally reached.

she thinks.

Really, the 12-hour ticket is really too uncomfortable.Although the unmanned train itself is very quiet, if you sit like this all the time, no matter how healthy you are, you will not be able to stand it.

Beside her, the black-haired boy rubbed his sore shoulders and smiled wryly.

"Let's go." He said, "Although I don't know the reason, it seems that the supply stations in this world are open to everyone. They don't need any identification or set any thresholds. You can get food, food, The medicine and the resting place."

"Sounds like some kind of charity." Fujimaru Tatsuka sighed, and suddenly thought of another question, "Wait, if this is the case, why did that guy like the shadow follower attack us?"

And why does it look like a shadow follower of Lancer Cu Chulainn? Why?

"That..." The black-haired boy scratched his hair, and his eyes wandered a little, "Then what... that's because I accidentally damaged the cabin when I brought you out of the nutrition cabin... that shadow man Or it seems to be something like a defense mechanism to prevent the pod from being destroyed... sorry."

Fujimaru Tachika... Fujimaru Tachika didn't have any ideas.

What can Lixiang say, the other party is also trying to save her, right?And in the end they escaped successfully, didn't they--everything is fine!

So that's it for the matter.

With the help of the black-haired boy, Fujimaru Tachika successfully got off the steam train. There was no way, the protective clothing was too heavy, and it was inevitable that there would be some inconvenience when getting on and off the train.When the two set foot on the red sand land, they shivered a little because of the sudden drop in temperature outside.

I didn't feel it when I was in the train, but the temperature difference between day and night in this world is actually very different.I don't know if the atmosphere has been destroyed. The sun's light and heat poured on the earth without reservation, and the heat that should have been retained by the thick clouds also dissipated mercilessly at night.Perhaps this is the reason why there are no plants growing in this sea of ​​sand, and no animals are active.

No life can survive in such a cruel natural environment.

There are no birds in the sky here.

Even human beings can't stay in such a harsh environment for too long. When I was in the train, I don't know if it is because the train has its own insulation and protective devices. Fujimaru Tachika has not felt how uncomfortable the outside air is. But now she felt it.Rather, if it wasn't for the effect of the magic dress, the black-haired boy next to her would have died long ago due to being exposed to the severe cold and bad air.

Urged by the howling wind, the two of them quickly entered the supply station in the shape of a space capsule.

In the space capsule, there are many nutrition cabins lined up, which is exactly the style that Fujimaru Tatsuka stayed in before.Green lights flashed brightly on some cabin doors, as if the people inside were having some peaceful dream.Other hatches were disturbingly dark, with thick black glass blocking the view of the outside world, making it hard to see what was going on inside.

... almost like a coffin.

She couldn't help thinking that.

"Fujimaru-kun, is that...?"

She grabbed the hem of the boy in black beside her and asked subconsciously.

"That is the nutrition cabin for rest."

Suddenly, a vicissitudes of life came from the side.The two looked back at the same time, but what they saw was a man wearing glasses. He was very thin, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his hair was mixed with a lot of white hair, so he couldn't tell his age. It can be guessed that he is about 25 to 30 years old-from the way he looks at people, one can't help but guess that he may be much older than this age.

The man had a pair of old and tired eyes with fine lines around the corners, and wore a pair of bookish glasses.The way of looking at people through the lens reminds Fujimaru Tatsuka of insects for some reason.

"Are you newcomers from other bases? That one over there—" the man looked at the young man, "is your protective suit damaged? Then go to the nutrition cabin to rest and deal with the radiation damage you received Bar."

"Ah... uh..."

The black-haired boy smiled wryly, wondering if he should say that he was not harmed by nuclear radiation, but how to explain this magic dress seems to be a troublesome matter...

But Fujimaru Tachika noticed another thing.

"Is that nutrition cabin used to heal damage from nuclear radiation?"

——So, maybe the person who put her into the nutrition cabin earlier had good intentions?

This time it was the man's turn to show surprise.

"do not you know?"

"Ah... sorry..."

Fujimaru Tachika suddenly understood that this is absolute common sense for people in this world, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and for a while she didn't know how to explain her identity.

"We are from Chaldea."

The black-haired boy said so.

And Fujimaru Tachika also thought of how to introduce herself because of this sentence.

"We are from outside." She said, "We are not from here, so many things are not very clear... Could you please tell us in detail?"

"That's okay..." The man pushed his glasses, "But outside... It's been a long time since I heard such words. Sit down first, or do you want to eat something first?"

"Well, where can I get the food and water?"

The black-haired boy scratched his head embarrassingly.

"I just heard people say that you can get supplies here, but it seems that there is no place to distribute supplies here?"

"Don't even know this? I'm starting to wonder how you got here."

As the man said, he stood up with one hand supporting his right knee. His right leg seemed to have some old injury, and his movements were a little sluggish.He dragged his right foot to the side of the pillar and pulled out a round object. Only then did Fujimaru Tateka realize that those ball-shaped metals like reliefs turned out to be helmets one after another.The man held the helmet in one hand and looked back at them. The two teenagers hurried to him and watched him put the helmet on his head.

"This is how it is used." He motioned them to look at the cable connecting the helmet, and then raised his hand and pressed the red button on the side of the helmet, "First confirm that the cable is connected, and then press the button, so that it will There's something to eat...although it's just some nutrient solution and dry food."

As if echoing his words, a tightly packed box popped out from the opening under the pillar. The man removed the lid of the metal box, and inside was a solid food like bread or compressed dry food, and another tube Liquid drink like nutrient solution.The man unpacked the food with a numb expression, stuffed these things into his mouth, and after a while, he let out a small sigh.

"Hmm... let's exchange this much this time..." He turned his head to look at them, and took off his helmet, "well, just put this on and exchange it like I did just now... what do you know? Is it an exchange?"

The two shook their heads in unison.

"That's it..." The man smiled wryly, but he didn't show much trouble, "The food here is to be exchanged with one's own emotions. No, emotion is too broad. To be more precise, It's emotion."

He handed the helmet in the direction of the two of them, and said lightly: "Change a little less, it is almost enough for you. Of course, if you are particularly energetic, you can also exchange some more, as dry food on the road. But , This kind of food is not very delicious, if you eat it here, it will taste better if you consciously interfere, but if you eat it empty-handed, it doesn't taste much."

"Eh……"

Fujimaru Tachika hesitated for a moment, but still took the helmet and put it on his head.

Then, as if the signal was transmitted directly to her brain, a strong dizziness hit her head, Fujimaru Tachika couldn't help shaking, and it was the boy next to her who helped her, so she didn't fall down on the ground.

"It will be a bit uncomfortable to wear this for the first time." The man said calmly, "Then it will set the language system according to your mother tongue. Have you seen the row of numbers on the upper left? emotional energy. The following is the package provided by this machine. If your appetite is not particularly large, one dry food and one nutrient solution are enough.”

Just as the man said, rows of words jumped out of Fujimaru Tachika's eyes, as if they were written directly into her visual nerves, those neat and small characters emerged in the air.

[Remaining Emotional Energy: 30527]

【可兑换食物:A(1固)=100;B(1液)=100;C(1固+1液)=180;D(2固+1液)=255;E(1固+2液)=255;F(2固+2液)=300】

【Exchangeable medicines: A (small medicine box) = 500; B (medium medicine box) = 1000; C (large medicine box) = 2000】

[Can be exchanged for daily necessities: please go to the mall for details]

【Whether to exchange (YES/NO)】

Fujimaru Tachika hesitated, but followed the man's suggestion to exchange for a C package.

For a moment, she felt a sense of being emptied.

If you have to say something, it's like your thoughts stop for a second.It was as if a layer of opaque frosted glass had been suddenly added in front of my eyes, and all emotions were sealed in consciousness, as if I had fallen into a colloidal world.There is a strong barrier between people and the outside world.Everything seemed so far away and unattainable.

Fortunately, after only about ten seconds, this feeling gradually disappeared.

Fujimaru Tachika blinked, only to realize that her share of food had fallen out of the opening.

"If you want to eat, wear the helmet and eat." The man lightly advised, "In this case, the helmet will automatically interfere with your consciousness and wake up the memory of the taste of the food you want to eat the most...Of course, you can also choose When ordering, the helmet can also implant the taste of related food. Although it is only consciousness interference, tricking your taste buds and brain through nerves, it is enough to help you swallow. This thing has no taste at all.”

Fujimaru Tachika thought for a while, and did as he did.While recalling in her mind the taste of the feast that Emiya (crossed out) Mama (/crossed out) made, she bit down on the solid dry food.

The amazing thing is that not only the taste, but also the texture has become the texture of a big meal. Fujimaru Tateka can even taste the crispness and meatiness of the crispy fried tempura spread between the lips and teeth, including shrimp The wonderful feeling of meat sliding over the tip of the tongue.

...Can the science of this world even do such a thing?

She thought in a daze.

I don’t know if it’s because the tea served with the big meal in my memory was oolong tea, and the nutrient solution also smelled of steaming oolong tea, and I could even smell the unique aroma of oolong tea at the tip of my nose, but when Fujimaru Tachika thought of pearls When drinking milk tea, the taste of the nutrient solution in my mouth suddenly changed.I don't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to have tasted the wonderful feeling of Q and bouncy pearls in the milk tea.

Technology is scary.

She couldn't help feeling this way.

A portion of food was eaten quickly, and I didn't know what this dry food was made of, so I felt very full.As the man said, for a girl with a normal appetite, one dry food plus one nutrient solution is enough.For children and people with very small appetites, probably only one of them is enough.

After the black-haired boy also finished his meal, the three of them sat on the bench to rest again.Fujimaru Tachika wanted to thank the man, when they remembered that they hadn't introduced themselves yet.

So she asked the man for his name.

"I'm Masataka Kakari. However, people who know me call me 'Kamikariya', so you can call me that."

The man said so.

06

The first thing Fujimaru Tachika and the others asked Kamikariya was that they felt strange things before the exchange.

"Excuse me, can't the food here be exchanged for currency?"

"There is no currency in this world. Rather, the former currency has no value at this time."

Shenshouya cleaned up the sand on his old protective clothing, and his expression was almost indifferent.His tone is very calm. Since Fujimaru Tachika and the others have only seen him as an aborigine, they don't know whether people in this world are like him, and there are almost no particularly big mood swings.

"The so-called currency can only be used under a certain financial system, and the financial system in this world has completely collapsed. With everyone living in the virtual world, the real world economy no longer has any Significance. The transaction relationship has returned to the original barter stage. Everything is no longer distributed according to production, but according to demand. The market no longer exists—after emotions are quantified, the only thing we have value is our own Feelings. This is the only capital we can use to trade."

"Eh……"

Fujimaru Tachika opened her eyes slightly.

"However, won't there be any problems if you extract emotions?"

"Emotions can be regenerated." Shenshouya said lightly, "If you smoke too much, there may be problems. But just eating, healing, and ordinary life support, in fact, you don't need too much emotion. A person The emotional energy that can be generated is quite sufficient to feed his own life."

"That's it." Fujimaru Tateka thought for a while, but still felt something was wrong, "However, who provided the food...and these nutrition cabins just now?"

It is not realistic to create something out of nothing. It is impossible for something to appear out of thin air.And those emotions that have been taken away must also have a receiving terminal.Where did they go, and what provided these basic survival resources?

"It's God."

When he said this, a slight fluctuation finally flashed across Kamikariya's face.He turned his head sideways, as if he wanted to see the towering black tower through the thick metal wall. Fujimaru Tachika couldn't see his expression clearly, but could only hear his voice, with a deep deep burnout.

"At the moment when the world was destroyed, the New God saved mankind. He gave us food, gave us sleep, and gave us a paradise where we can survive."

The man seemed to be reciting something, and when he looked back, he had an emotionless smile on his face.

"That's what the survivors of this world know."

"The destruction of the world...what the hell is going on?"

Fujimaru Tatsuka's expression became serious, she thought, this is probably the key turning point in this world.

Da Vinci said that the so-called Lostbelt is "the history of mankind that has reached a dead end", and along the way, the barren scenery that you see seems to want to prove this point , silently telling her such a fact——

——This world has no future.

"Speaking of which, we rarely saw other people along the way." The black-haired boy also raised his own question, "Only when I first arrived here, I met people at the first supply station... and here I saw Mr. Kamakura, but I haven't seen anyone else since, where did everyone go?"

"Where did you go?"

Kamisariya raised his chin at the neatly arranged nutrition cabins.

"Aren't they all there?"

"........."

"……………………"

"Under the grace of the New God, reality has become unnecessary for human beings."

Kamikari raised his head slightly, with an expression that was almost mocking, almost sad, but indifferent because everything was too indifferent, staring at the empty void.

"You asked before, 'What happened to the destruction of the world', right?" The man smiled slightly, "It's very simple, it was destroyed by human beings."

Then, under the unbelievable eyes of the young girl, the man told the story of the end of this world with an indifferent expression.

07

At first it was just a small dispute.

For resources, for the economy, for authority... In order to compete for everything that seems completely meaningless today, a small war was ignited.

Then, everyone finally discovered that behind the calm appearance, so much resentment and dissatisfaction were buried between people.

Unfair distribution, class solidification, different beliefs, racial discrimination, gender antagonism... everything is good and everything is the same.

People used to hate each other like that.

It's like dropping sparks on an oil barrel.

Like the fuse that ignites a powder keg.

Almost in an instant, the small flames of war turned into a prairie fire before everyone could react.

That flame consumed everything.

Human civilization, the legacy of history, the trust and love between people... everything is burning, and life is passing away meaninglessly and grandly like a falling star rain.

People finally understand that people can kill each other so easily, even if you don't know each other, even if you are close, even if you are on the other side of the world, he can kill you.

In modern society, human wars have entered a more brutal stage than any previous era.Under modern thermal weapons, human life no longer has any meaning, and has become a series of long statistics.

The longer the range of the weapon, the smaller the existence of life.

— especially, in the event of the use of nuclear weapons.

Who launched the nuclear weapons first?It is pointless to pursue this now.

Once the disaster box is opened, everything will only slide downhill in an irreversible direction.

Cities are being destroyed, countries are perishing, and the world is screaming miserably in the flames of war... At this time, it is still too late to stop.

Even if humans have ruined their own future, even if humans have destroyed half of the world, as long as the survivors work together, this race can still survive.

However, this is just what some people think.

For others...

Aren't there still so many countries that have not perished?

Isn't there so much population and resources left?

Isn't there still half of the world?

——Then, it doesn’t matter if you keep fighting, right?

Obviously everyone knows that continuing to fight will not benefit all mankind, and everyone knows that shaking hands and continuing to cooperate is what is best for everyone.

However, people only believe what they want to believe.

Believe that if you continue, you will win.

I believe that I can get the biggest and sweetest fruit.

People who believe that they can sit at the top can never be that stupid, and that every decision they make is absolutely smart (correct).

In this way, the war continued.

Human beings will not hold each other's hands on the ruins after the war, and weapons will not be full of flowers in an instant. People with power still belittle the lives of people without power. As long as someone uses human life as a pawn, Tragedy and disputes will never disappear from the world.

The flames of war are still burning, and on top of the hatred brought by the war and the poverty brought about by the destruction, people slash and kill each other like crazy.In areas that have not been burned by war, the crime rate is increasing at an alarming rate; in areas that have been burned by war, massacres are expanding without limit.

Our own people, foreigners, and even people who were family members and friends were killing and being killed senselessly.

The times are crazy, and everyone is crazy.Even if there are sane people who try to resist all this - how can a person resist the flood of this age?

The wheel of fate rumbles forward, pouring out blood dripping all over the ground.

……

So, when people come to their senses, everything is irreparable.

The planet was devastated to the point of being riddled with holes. The civilizations built by humans, the infrastructure that allowed modern society to develop and survive... everything was destroyed in the flames of war.

Famine, plague, and natural disasters that frequently visit due to the great changes in the environment... They are like vicious vultures and hyenas, frantically preying on the few remaining human lives after the war.

And people have lost the ability to resist the fangs and claws of death.

The world's population has plummeted to less than one-twentieth of what it was before the war.

At this point, everything is impossible.

Human beings who have gotten used to the modern society, if they just want to regress to the primitive society, maybe they can barely live on.Even if the civilization of the past can no longer be built, but just to survive, can it still move forward again?

But nuclear weapons have declared the end of that possibility.

The planet has been destroyed.

Excessive nuclear radiation has killed not only human life, but also other living beings.

Human beings have lost not only their homes, but also the food and drinking water they depend on for survival.

The atmosphere has been destroyed, the ocean current has changed its direction, and the land has become a desert... This world is no longer suitable for human survival than the cruelest era.

It seems that there is only despair and extinction waiting for human beings.

And at this time, the one who saved mankind from destruction was the new god.

The author has something to say: The chapter summary is from "Sweet Room" by Jasmine Mori.

When it comes to historians, god-killing targets, and immortal characters, he is the one.
