Instant Death

Takao Night Mist and Tanohura Chiyoshi returned to the road and passed through the semi-transparent wall on the area boundary.

Then I saw the sea across the cliff.

When you go south again through the translucent wall, the sea becomes invisible and cloudy.

"Looks like there's something in this area boundaries."

"Hmm... it looks like there's a camouflage on it.The view of the outside from the inside of this boundary is different. "

Both Tanohura and Koko, the spiritual body, were investigating the translucent wall.

From the outside of the boundary, the cliff tip is empty space, and from the inside, the ocean spreads beyond the cliff tip.

Let's just hang out for a while.

"Where are we going in the Neutral Zone!?"

The Night Fog were going to go to a city in the Neutral Zone.

I was going to gather the information and decide what to do next.

"There's nothing we can do about it, and we'll just have to walk along the cliff for now."

"Well... it's awkward to leave like that and go back..."

The night fog came from a village with a Seyla infection.

I almost ignored their desire to have them killed.

Even with the night fog, I didn't feel like going back and talking right away.

Well, wait, for now, it's possible to fly over me and see what's going on around me.

No, I didn't do that.

"I thought if we went south along the road, we would soon reach the Neutral Zone."

This is like the spirits behind Chichika's possession, and cannot be far from Chichika.

But it didn't seem like flying over the sky was far enough.

"What, if you're not away from the plane coordinates?"Too many monkeys. Ghost rules. "

Basically, you just have to realize that you're not far from my lord!The point is, it's up to you!

That said, it flew into the sky.

They flew over quite a bit and returned after a while.

How was it?

There are two reports. First of all, it wasn't a continent at all.It feels like an island the size of which is floating in the sky. "

He told me about the sight he had seen.

The island has a distorted circular shape and appears to be about the size of an area boundary hexagon.

Since one side of the area boundary is in the shape of a ten kilometer hexagon, the diameter is about twenty kilometers.

I heard about a continent 2,000 kilometers north and south and 4,000 kilometers east and west, but it's too far away.

"Hmm? But when I came, I saw a big continent!?"

But I saw it from inside a tunnel made of light.From that point on, if it's disguised, then the Tsuji will fit. "

What are you doing that for?

"Hmm... I certainly don't know what that means.Besides, I think the people who live here are continents.It's not a continent, but it's a place where you can see the view from the boundary wall. "

The night mist went by the cliff to see what was going on.

Below is a cloud from which you can see the blue sea.

In the horizontal direction, there were a few things like islands floating in the sky like here.

"Is it useless to walk along the cliff?"

Hmm. I saw the whole thing.There were some settlements, but they weren't as big as a country?

"So, where did everybody go?Didn't you say there are many countries in this continent? "

That's what I was told before I came to this continent.

According to it, there are four countries here that are at odds with each other.

Other than the Night Fog, they were scouted by their respective countries.

Classmate Hanagawa Daimon is in Sudria School.

Lou, the girl who changed from the stone of the wise to the Himmern kingdom.

Hilko tells the Slow Life Alliance that Lou is his mother.

The acacia of a robot that was manipulated by both men and women in Momlus.

The Night Fog were told that that was the allocation.

Well, it's just intuition, but I don't feel like I'm here.She suddenly disappeared, so it's not strange to be somewhere else at all. "

"The village representative said he threw himself at the crater, but did it look like a volcano?"

A boy named Scott, who came out on behalf of the village, said such a thing.

They say they tried everything to die.

No, there are some ups and downs, but the terrain is not as big as a mountain.

"So the villagers went outside the island, right?"

That's what happens.

"Well, I hate that, but maybe you should go back to the village and talk to him."

You may go to another settlement, but it would be easier to go back to the village earlier.

It's so awkward though.

"I can't help it. I have no choice but to accept it."

And maybe it's time to kill them, but the night fog gave up on it.

You won't be able to ask for help without having to go down once and for all.If they told me to kill me, I was ready to kill them.

And the second report.The village was gone. "

"Eh? Yuko?"

I'm sure I saw the nearest village, but I can't find the building.

Well, let's head to the village for now.

The night fog crossed the boundary wall into the interior.

Ask Mikoto to fly over and check the surroundings again.

Then, the sea appeared to the west and the earth to the east.

In other words, as far as we can see from the inside of the area boundaries, this place only looks like a continent.

And the inside of the boundary wall was the same as when viewed from the outside.I still can't find the village.

"Were you attacked? But I wonder if you didn't realize that there were so many big incidents that the village was gone?"

I haven't really verified the nature of the boundary wall, but it may be blocked by sound and impact.

Walk north on the way back.

Originally, the village should have been visible soon, but it was still invisible in the night fog.

After a while, I saw a lot of people falling around.

Did you notice that the night fog came, or one of the fallen began to wake up.

"Oh, you're back."

It was Scott who woke her up.A boy who was speaking with the Night Fog on behalf of the village.

"What's wrong!?"

"I got attacked all of a sudden.I've been dead. "

I didn't seem to care much whether I was accustomed to this situation.

"Isn't it kind of more immortal than I thought?"

"That's an unexpected statement.Look around. He'll still be dead, won't he?I don't have the energy to get up anymore. "

As Scott said, the other villagers remained collapsed.It's like a living corpse, as you can see from what we've been talking about.

"I'm only a little healthy because I'm young.Ah, you'd better stay away from me. "

I was wondering if I could keep talking from a distance, but when the night fog approached, it was stopped.

"Around the village, is something a little strange?As a matter of fact, this area was wiped out.So there are big holes around here.And the erased me, the villagers, the flora and fauna came back to life, but the holes were just covered with grass and roots.If you step into a hole, you'll fall into the bottom of the hole. "

I felt uncomfortable when asked.

The place where the village was supposed to be was a meadow, and if you look closely, there was no earth there.The grass and roots are intertwined, blurry blocking the holes there.

"Well, I'll talk to you from here. What happened?"

"It's been a while since you left the village.Someone from Himelon has arrived.It wasn't the usual garrison, it was like an L unit. "

On this continent, soldiers are called units.

There were three types of units: S, M, and L, and L was the strongest.

Generally, S is a miscellaneous soldier, M is a commander, and L is in charge of the M unit.

"They asked us who killed Nina.Probably the M unit that Takao killed, the Commander's woman.It's useless to defy me, so I told you a boy named Takao Mist killed him. "

"No, no, no! I think he did, but he attacked me all of a sudden and Scott betrayed me!?"

"Unfortunately, it's not so close to betraying, is it?Of course, if Takao had promised to kill us for sure, the story would change. "

Well, that can't be helped.

I didn't feel like blaming the night fog.I don't think it's a betrayal because I didn't have a lot of trust.

"They asked me where I was headed, so I told them I was headed to the Neutral Zone.But even though I told you, it looks like this.They destroyed the village like eight.So the fact that you guys came back from this thing means you killed the L unit? "

"No, I didn't. I don't think so."

"Really? The Neutral Zone is one way to go.I wonder if you overlooked it because you were too passionate. "

"That's it.There's an area boundary wall, right?There's something strange going through that, but do you have any idea? "

"Did you get through?"

"It sounds like you can't get through!?"

Chiyoshi was angry.

"I got through, but there's something there, right?"

"I need points to get through.So I was expecting to come back eventually, but that's unexpected. "

It is a sorrow for them to die.Scott thinks he can't cross the border, even though he let the night fog go lightly for that.

What's the point?

"Well, I guess we can't just do this anymore?"

That's right, I couldn't have left without doing anything again.

"Okay, what do I do?"

"Well, for now, will you kill anyone but me?The story will suffice as long as I live. "

"Well, tell anyone who wants to die to come before me."

I don't want to be unilaterally killed.

At the very least, the night fog wanted me to make a final statement of intent.



In the end, everyone who looked at Scott wanted to die, and the night mist killed the fifteen people who were in the village.

If you die with the power of the night fog, perhaps things like souls disappear completely.I explained it again, but their determination remained unchanged.

However, they didn't seem to want to think about anything anymore, so perhaps they didn't think deeply and choose death.

"Thank you. I promise I will help you as much as I can in the future.I will die when you are satisfied. "

Scott has arrived after burying the villagers.

Even though it was buried, it was just thrown into a hole covered with grass, so it didn't take much trouble.

Due to the problem of Seyla infection, Chiyoshi and the Night Mist were waiting far away just in case.

"Well then, what's the point?He said it was necessary to cross the border. "

"The point is the unit of energy used in this continent.You need one point per person to move around the area. "

"What happens if there are no points?"

"I just can't move because I'm stuck in the perimeter wall, but you weren't stuck?"

"I was able to get through, but there was no way out."

The night fog briefly described the sight outside the boundary wall.

"I can't believe it, but there's no reason for Takao to lie...."

For Scott, this was a continent, and he was actually moving across the boundary wall.They came all of a sudden and said it was actually an island floating in the sky without any evidence.

"How do I get points?"

"You've seen it, too.Put the cylinder on the infected person to recover the energy.That's it. One cylinder makes one point. "

"Huh? So, how do we get the points?"

The cylinder was not here.

The incoming soldiers must have left them in the village, but they must have been caught in the attack and vanished.

"I think I can handle it.We'll have to go to the perimeter wall for now. "

"I'm just wandering around here somehow, and there's no progress..."

Chichika said that she was fed up with it, but she also agreed with the night mist.

For now, we have no leads to the Stone of the Wise.

"I wonder if Lou and the others scattered everywhere could come to me."

"Yes, because we can only travel on foot."

While complaining, the night fog walked south again.

As soon as I walked a little, I found a wall showing the boundaries of the area.

"Can you see a city in the Neutral Zone from around here?"

"If you ask."

As he approached the boundary, he saw something like a building ahead of the road.

Last time I looked at the semi-transparent wall, I didn't realize what was ahead of me.

So, what do we do?

"If I hurt myself, I'll manage.Three people need three points, three times you die. "

"Should I not have a cylinder?"

The night fog reminded me of the weapons that the soldiers were using.There is a cylindrical container on the tip of the spear and it seems to be a cylinder.

"Yeah, just die near the perimeter wall."

"It's so easy to think about dying...."

"I don't mean to take death lightly, but we want to die.It's only natural to die every time, and you don't have to worry about it. "

"Doesn't it hurt?"

I'm used to it.

Scott approached the boundary wall and touched it.

Well then, it's time to do it...

Suddenly, I heard an explosion and Scott hardened.

"What? What city? Did you blow it up?"

There was a huge fire pillar rising around the city.
