Isekai Taneuma

First Labyrinth

The entrance to the labyrinth was as if it were a fake painting. In the middle of Stonehenge, something like a pedestal protruded after the statue had been removed, and in the middle of the pedestal, the labyrinth slammed open its mouth. It's dark inside, and you can't see anything from the far end even if you raise the pine light. Before that, the space is unlikely to be large.

The entrance pedestal is only about two meters wide at most, but the space spread out in it is clearly beyond that. If bad, it's bigger than the square where the stone henge is located, so there's almost no doubt that the space inside is distorted.

How can anything be so unusual? I thought so, but I remembered this before. Isaac's castle, the Palazzo Versailles, had a mysterious backstage and Mary's trapped boundary. I mean, the same thing is going on here.

Leonardo mentioned the labyrinth as a great old qualia. Perhaps the future is not a physical space, but something spiritual. Thinking about it, I feel like I was lost in the garden of the castle, which was not so big, and I can see why I was able to summon Jeanne on the portal. If it succeeds, the laws of physics will not work, so you will have to be more careful.

But what should I be careful about? The spiritual world probably doesn't understand the laws of the physical world. If common sense doesn't make sense, isn't it too late for you to notice? With that in mind, Feng walked through the entrance to the labyrinth, looking firmly at Mary's back ahead....

"Oh, come on. This all of a sudden?

The moment I walked through the entrance, I felt something beyond the invisible boundaries, such as when I somehow jumped into the water or entered a building with changing wind pressure. The next moment, Mary disappeared from Feng's sight, and he was alone.

Looking back, there was no Jeanne that was supposed to follow. Of course, Guillaume was supposed to be walking at the head. By the way, I couldn't even see the entrance that just came in.

"Hey, Jeanne! Guillaume! Mary!!

I called my people out in a hurry, but nobody answered. In other words, since my voice doesn't even echo, it seems like a huge space here. How long has it been going on? My vision is closed in the dark and I can't see anything. It might be better to pass on the wall at this time, but I didn't even know where the wall was. Maybe there is no such thing.

I'm completely trapped... what should I do? When I looked at my feet, I couldn't see anything to say what I was standing on in the first place. When I stepped on it, I could hear the jarring sound of the sand, so the ground seemed to be there, but the feet were also dark, as if standing on top of a dark screen absorbing light. The situation is similar in the vicinity.

I don't know why, but my body and the clothes I was wearing were clearly visible. It means there should be a light source, but of course we can't find it. It's kind of like being thrown into a space without a star.

"You call this a super cavity? Bulk space?"

It is a narrow space in the dimension. In multiworld interpretation, if the universe changes, the laws of physics should also change, so it may be shooting unexpectedly. There's nothing I can do about it, but....

Anyway, getting on your feet means you have gravity. It would have been better if it had been gravity-free, but if it had a foot on the ground, it would have reached somewhere someday. There's nothing we can do if we stop here, so we'll have to find out where we can walk from one end.

In the meantime, it's not a labyrinth offensive, but rather a rendezvous with your people and a search for an exit. As Feng walked with that thought in mind, it was easily found.

When he thought about where the exit was, he felt the wind on his cheeks. Was it your fault at first? I thought, but when I put my fingers over my head, I definitely felt the wind from a certain direction.

If the wind is blowing, there may be an exit that way. Walking with pride, he soon discovered something incredible.

No, I can't believe it, it was too familiar... but when he was walking on the wind, he realized that there was a plump light source in front of him in a few minutes. Still far away, it was green and not placed directly on the ground, it seemed to be just about the height of my back.

I wonder what it is. As I approached it, it was in the form of an emergency light that felt common on the rectangular emergency staircase, and when I quickly approached my feet as if it was no good, it was the emergency light that finally jumped into view to inform the location of the emergency exit.

A white arrow and a human silhouette rush into the door are depicted in the green space. Next to that, the words "Emergency exit/EXIT" were carefully written. Anyone in a hospital or a public facility will have seen it once. It was undoubtedly an emergency exit.

"Seriously... why are you here?

Normally, it is unlikely that the Gentiles, the master of this labyrinth, know anything like this. I wonder if it is Feng's memory that shows this. Leonardo said that all human souls are connected in the Idea Realm, so you can get the Labyrinth Quality.

Couldn't you say the opposite, by the way? In other words, the labyrinth is playing with Feng's qualia and showing it. Nothing, an empty world is really like you. Thinking about it, where is the exit? The moment I thought about it, I suddenly found a clue. The wind blew and the emergency exit was the illusion Feng wanted to get out of here.

Well, maybe there's a real exit up ahead.

He thought so and walked through the emergency exit door that appeared in front of him. But....

"Eh!?

When he came through the door, there was the same door behind him... and I saw someone standing there. It wasn't very familiar, but it was the back of someone I knew better than anyone.

It is lit by an emergency light above its head and is lightly dyed green. The back length is about the same as yours... or, perhaps, the same without an error of one millimeter. Because it was Fengbai himself who was there.

He glanced back in surprise. At that moment, I looked at my back in front of me at the same time and saw my face for a moment.

What did his pale eyes see... it must have been his own back, looking astonished at what he was witnessing right now.

Until now, there is no dark space in which I should have walked. Instead, there is an emergency exit that I have just passed through, and there is another emergency exit that goes on forever, like a mirror. And under all those emergency exits, I can see my back.

There are three people in the world who resemble themselves. And what sees Doppelganger is said to die in the near future. How many times do I have to die if I've found countless people in front of me?

"U... wow... wow wow wow!!!

Feng panicked. He raised his scream and reached out to grab his back in front of him. Then, at that moment, the self in front of him also stood forward to grasp his back in front of him, and his stretched hand cut through the sky, and he took a step out of balance.

Then, when I tried to grab my back in front of me again, I took one step out of balance, and stepped one step or two as it was, I also stepped down in the same way in front of me... Feng couldn't tell the difference, but ran after his back anyway.

When you try to catch yourself in front of you, your back in front of you is also moving away. After passing through the emergency exit, there is another emergency exit, and the doors appear one after the other and disappear behind.

As soon as you chase your reachable back and speed up, the back in front of you will also speed up as fast as you can. As Feng increases his speed, the passing doors will go further and further behind in the same way.

I don't know if I'm running faster anymore or if my back in front of me is running faster. As a matter of fact, like in the running train, it's moving on the ground. The emergency doors that appeared one after the other disappeared behind the other. As Feng increased his speed, he gradually went further and further away, and eventually appeared from behind like a rotating tire and disappeared to the front.

He's gradually wondering if he's moving forward or running backwards. When he notices, his back, which was at a distance that was almost reachable just now, looks incredibly far away. The more he chases, the more his back accelerates, and it feels like the space itself is somehow stretched.

The passing emergency exit is as fast as melting butter, and Feng begins to be crushed by his accelerating body. Crushed back and forth and pulled up and down, he screamed from the pain, but still his body didn't stop increasing speed.

His body, which continued to accelerate in agony, eventually began to leave light behind beyond the speed of light. Time returns to the past, and your body gets smaller and smaller. It was not physically, but temporally, that his body gradually returned to the past.

I couldn't confess to Sofia, and I was obsessed with online games. When I was squatting in a room without furniture with my father's head down. When I became homeless and lived in a cardboard house. When I burned hate like a demon and attacked my seniors one after another. I was laughing with those seniors. When I went to high school... when I was still an elementary school student... and when I met Emilia.

More and more, the past went by, and he finally became a baby. His body was fluffy and his hands and feet barely moved. Even if he tried to complain of breathlessness, he could not speak. Instead, tears came out even though he was somehow not sad. He cried loudly.

Then came a woman from somewhere, lifting her body in love. When I heard the voice of a woman with a head, I felt incredibly filled.

Yeah, that's right. Yes, it is.

There must have been a mother who had given birth to me like this. But I don't remember that face, and of course I didn't remember anything like this. So he desperately tried to see the man's face, but he turned backwards and couldn't see at all.

Why doesn't my body move at such an important time? He became annoyed and shouted. I shouted because I wanted my mother to notice. There was so much I wanted to ask. There was so much I wanted to talk about. But he has no words to speak, and all his voice is turned into a cry.

Oyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I know I'm here... but I'm still alive... even though I may not be able to rely on you...

Oyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Can you hold on to this?

Pakhan!!

... a severe pain in my brain, and sparks splashed in front of my eyes.

"Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Feng raised an incredible scream to the pain. He rolls around the ground with his tingling and painful head. Eventually, the pain subsided and his vision was blurred because of tears, and he rubbed his eyes to see what was going on around him.

Then Leonardo, who had a hard oak wand in front of him, stood and looked down at the phoenix lying on the ground. The pain must have been hit by that.

"What the hell!!

"Do you have anything? It was my lord who cried like a baby."

"... fu?

"Don't you remember? Look at that."

That said, a nightmarish sight was spreading ahead of Leonardo's wand. Guillaume is hugging herself and murmuring something in the wind. While shouting delicious, Mary devours the mushrooms that grow on the ground. Jeanne rushes around with a knuckle like a gorilla. He stops from time to time and winks as he stares at Feng with a soft gaze, dragging his bees. What is that, going to make love to a slut?

It was clear that all eyes were bloody and completely blind. We were all supposed to be in the labyrinth, but I don't know why this is happening, but the only thing I know is that this is the one who wants to remember and die later.

"Wow... what should I do with this? Who's gonna stop it? Jeanne is totally in the wild."

"Whether it's the Lord or not, go ahead and stop him. I'll take care of the other two with a manicure."

"Eh..."

As usual, Jeanne is involved, but is there no right of veto? The way I looked at Phoenix while I was drumming just now, I was getting lewd and slightly scared....

I would like to avoid getting close to such a thing if possible, but I can't leave it like that forever. When Feng decided to prepare, he approached the wild Jeanne.
