Illimitable Until Death

- "Building without windows".

It's a building in the seventh school district.

In the campus city, the building, though not the largest, is absolutely the strangest.

As the name suggests, this is a building with no windows, no doors, no stairs, as if to isolate the interior and exterior completely into two worlds, unable to get out of the interior or enter from the exterior.

However, the building is the residence of the president of the Academy Metropolitan Council.

With twelve members of the omnibus council, the chairman of the council, with all the rights in the school city, lived there.

To get in here, it's impossible to do it in the usual way.

After all, the specifications set by the building at the time of its construction could not be shaken even if the nuclear bomb landed here.

So there's only one theoretical way to get in and out of this building.

That is to lead the way through those who possess the capability of the space system and enter it in the form of a space transfer.

In this way, it entered the building.

“ ———— ”

By then, the leader had left.

The square stood in a space of silence and horror.

There are cables and instruments all around.

In front is a tube filled with red liquid, like a column.

The square gazes at the presence of the tube.

It was a man in a green surgical coat, suspended in an inverted position in a red liquid.

“ ………… ”

When you look at this man, you have to fall into silence.

Because, we feel that our perceptions seem to be challenged.

It is obvious to face this person directly, but the square is completely unable to discern its detailed characteristics.

Is this man a man or a woman?

Is this man young or old?

Is this man healthy or poor?

Is this man a man or a god?

These cognitions, like being obstructed, are indistinguishable.

Perhaps that's how people feel when they use cognitively impaired masks?

However, this effect was achieved by relying on props.

And the person in front of you, by relying on pure "impressions", creates this feeling.

This is…

“Aresta Crowley…”

- "Aresta-Claurie".

The president of the Academy Metropolitan Council, who lived in the world as it is decades ago, finally, after decades of effort, established the Academy Metropolitan City and the existence of the entire scientific world in King's Landing.

After suffering a severe injury that could hardly be saved, the person entered the life support device and handed over all his life activities to the machine generation for execution, leaving his whole body, including his head, in a state of hibernation, where even thinking was aided by machines to express itself.

It's the same guy who spreads about 50 million stagnant comebacks in the school city, and even in this unseen building, he can still see what's happening in every corner of the city.

If half the world today is owned by the scientific camp and half by the magical camp, then half of the scientific camp is in the hands of the incredible man in front of it.

The closer this school city gets to darkness, the more shadows this person has.

By itself, it can almost be described as manipulating the dynamics of the world.

So this man has many plans and schemes, and even the mastermind of what is called all the amazing events in the world.

Now, that's who we're dealing with.

So Fong Li took the lead.

“Aren't you tired of living like this? ”

The first sentence is like greeting.

And Aresta answered as if she didn't care at all.

“Perhaps in your view, this is not supposed to be" living, "but if I look at it scientifically, in fact, if I continue to" live "in this way, it will last a thousand and seven hundred years. ”

That's not from Aresta's mouth, it sounds a little far-fetched, just like the instrumentally processed sound coming from any corner of this room.

Of course, it doesn't bother me at all.

“Seventeen hundred years?” Looking at Aresta suspended in the liquid of the test tube, he smiled and said, “That is, if you reduce the scale of this 1,700 years to the same level as humans, are you now just the equivalent of being pregnant longer and still in the amniotic fluid? ”

“What an interesting metaphor.” Aresta seemed to laugh, saying: "Indeed, on a human scale, I have lived so far with a longer pregnancy than I would need to live in the future. ”

“Too bad you can't get out of the amniotic fluid, can you?” It seems curious to ask: "If you lose the protection of" amniotic fluid "and get out of the" mother "called the life support device prematurely, wouldn't that be a death? ”

“It's also an interesting metaphor.” Aresta puts it bluntly: “And you're basically right, okay if it's a short time, but if you're out there for a long time, it won't be long before you're dead. ”

“It's just not a big deal.” Aresta's voice rang from all sides, saying: "Now that all activities can be handed over to machines, there is no need for mankind to do so on its own, which is the convenience that science can bring. ”

“Perhaps.” The smile is not funny, "he said.“ Unfortunately, for ordinary people, it's worse to be alive than to die. If you feel that you are living too painfully, then tell me and I won't mind giving you a ride. ”

“That would be very helpful.” Aresta's tone didn't fluctuate in half, "he replied.“ I'll remember. ”

So they had this seemingly chatty conversation.

This is probably the same thing that never happened in this room before, right?

But if a third person were here, it would be cold.

Because, in the seemingly chatty conversation, there are not many tests and sarcasms, not to mention how many judgments and thoughts to carry, just as there are invisible knife gun sword trite in the fight, there are intangible gun forest bullet rain flying, people can not stop breathing.

The client, however, was still chatting as if he had not noticed anything.

Even in a relaxed tone, the atmosphere is extremely cold.

How can that not be frightening?

In this chat, the two of them spent the entire three hours talking.

“That's right. ”

Aresta spoke so calmly and so utterly.

“Could you please talk to me about what happened last night? ”
