"Coleman."
Whose is it? Thin, squeezy voice. Taro felt the temperature in the room drop suddenly, stifling his body small.
"Well, sit down. I'm sure it'll be a long time."
Dean sends out a confirmation rather than a question. The man who named Coleman sat down silently to a solo couch.
……………………
A lot of silent time passes. But the surrounding eyes gathered by the man who looked at the floor in a boring manner were never removed from it.
And how long has it been? A man said abruptly when Taro began to feel frustrated by the sound of his exhaling breath.
"You are, God. Or do you believe in that?
It was a small voice, but it only sounded quiet indoors. Taro turns to Dean reflexively, but he has waved back to Eagle Deep.
"Rest assured. This room is physically blocked from the outside. But when I saw that reaction, it really didn't seem like a joke."
In response to Dean, Taro relieves himself of his chest. Taro had told Dean beforehand about the incredible phenomenon that had occurred during the first Coleman and the existence of the computer wind that Phantom had encountered on the planet New York. As far as the reply was concerned, he seemed to take proper measures, although he had no idea.
"You don't have the guts to tell Mr. Dean a joke yet............ hey, uh, Mr. Joachim? That god is like suddenly blowing a believer's head off."
Taro builds momentum for relief and develops as it is. In contrast, the man gave a slightly surprised look.
"I see. Did he die that way? That's a boring end to what you did well."
When the man said so, he left his body on his back like it was just a little relaxed, and smiled small.
"From here on out, it's horror. That's not fun at all. You know what that means, don't you?
You must have remembered that time, said Marr, who distorted his face uncomfortably.
"Of course, I'd say, but I don't know. If you say you know, you know, and you say you don't know anything, you're right."
Vague answers. Taro wondered if it would be an answer to try to get rid of it, but it seemed so different to see how the man was. I'm showing you how to really think. Taro encouraged the man to continue as he hand-controlled Marr, who was about to rise in anger.
"As you've all noticed, I'm pretty sure it's something related to BISHOP. But there's no way you can tell what that thing is. Always one-sided. On the one hand, they only do what is necessary."
The look on his face as if he had chewed up a bitter bug. Taro told him that on behalf of his fellow floating question marks.
"Coming? What the hell. Is there some kind of action with the example god?
To Taro's question, the man smiled sarcastically.
"Oh, right. Of course, I suppose so. That's why" we "believe in that existence, even if we're sure of it. But that's just what God calls it for convenience. By definition, it's the closest you can get."
"Phew............ what about us? When you have a drink, it's about each Coleman."
"Oh, yeah. I look into it well. I'd say, is it obvious if you think about it? Did you check on New Eden? We've reached the center a lot."
"Hehe, that was a little hard work. So we have the means to verify your lies?
"Hmm. I'm not lying. I can't blame anyone for being honest with you more than without that woman. He's already been abandoned by God."
"Which one? So, they let you go? Did you break the gate?
"Breaking the door............ Hmm. I see, you still seem a lot smarter than you look. Bankruptcy, huh? That's the right word. Heh heh, if that's who we lost to, we'll be somewhat convinced."
Ironically, Joachim laughs so much fun. When Taro looked around, they all had the same look that they didn't know well.
"... uh, religion, too, is that it? Are you feeling so minor in this day and age"
Taro shrugged like that, but now he decided to keep talking about it.
"So, can you be more specific? Be specific."
To Taro's request, he shrugs his shoulders just like that. When he spent a little time thinking, he eventually opened his mouth.
"I can hear you. Out of nowhere, my voice. It can't be a man's or a woman's, it's a strange voice. No, a voice may not be accurate. Should I say that the meaning is direct, not words? That's hard to explain. It's the first time I've ever told anyone."
A voice that squeals like a solitary. I didn't know Taro well, but I decided to convince him that it must be like telepathy for now.
"If you suffer from some kind of mental illness, it may cause similar symptoms. Hallucinations, hallucinations, things like that. How can you say otherwise?"
Voice from the door. To such Phantom's question, the man waved for the first time.
"There are no more genetically causing factors for such diseases, but all Colemans complain of the same symptoms would be a good reason to do so"
To the man's answer, Phantom returns.
"But you guys, perhaps, have all been overridden with the same information. You guys are clones, and that's how you're raised so that even your memories and stuff are the same. The facility also had evidence to back it up."
To Phantom's words, a man looked uncomfortable.
"Not everything will be the same. Sometimes failures like mine arise. Besides, voices from confused spirits can produce physical formulas and mathematical theorems that have not yet been discovered."
"Hmm," Phantom said, wondering what convinced him of such a man's words. Taro said, "There's also an example of Ramanujan, right?" I emitted, "but I couldn't understand myself why those words came out, and also waved," Forget it, "because everyone around me looked confused. It was a word I can't remember at all.
"Ramanu... could there have been such a scholar? Well, fine. And what do you mean by that failure? Are you saying you're not like all the other Colemans?
To Marl's question, the man replied "Ah" without even nodding.
"One day, I stopped hearing voices. Did you finish my role, or maybe I just ran out of help? Either way, his voice stopped and he was kicked out of the facility. Given that he wasn't killed, Coleman thought it was worth using."
"So, a failure... and that Coleman's been hearing you, right?
"Oh, yeah. He has always followed his voice. I was so delusional that I felt bad watching. But, well, I guess that was the way it was supposed to be. From the side, I get a revulsion, but he seemed happy, and maybe not surprisingly bad."
"............ I don't want to agree with that. People should live of their own free will. More than that, all that voice has conveyed is scientific information or something? Or, more like this, what can I say? Something social or something?
To his own will, the word, Taro only made himself a little stronger. I wasn't really thinking about it, but I wasn't entirely unaware of the phenomenon of hearing voices.
"Absolutely. My voice knew things by surprise. No one would know if it were you, even if it was a secret. Let's do this. Here, oh yeah. I had no trouble running the facility as long as I followed that one. If you ask me if it's common sense, it's hard to affirm, but it's impossible to be completely ignorant of society."
Coleman's words continue, roughly taking Taro, who hardens himself. And Marr said, "Yes," even more so.
"But I wonder what that means. It doesn't seem like a very computer wide thing to do. There are still a lot of things I don't really know about that, but I don't think I have any intelligence beyond humanity. It's hardware impossible. No computer can keep up with processing."
A whining voice to the surroundings, not to Joachim. True or false to Taro was unknown, but I wondered if she would say so. It's hardware expert language. But he also knew that there was an exception to everything. And now it's...
"Question, Mr. Coleman. Can I have one?"
Until now the silent, so to speak, exceptional presence, emitted.
"Earlier, you said that you relied on your voice to run the facility. From there, it can be assumed that the content of the voice was consistent with some purpose. I don't think that kind of facility can operate on a mere whim. Do you have any idea what this is about?"
Inorganic little plum voice. Coleman raised his gaze to the voice for the first time since he came here. Looking straight at Xiao Mei, he tilted his neck.
"I told you earlier that the word God is closest by definition. There is only one thing God does. They're making new creatures."
Coleman continued when he had the most ironic grin of the day.
"The next creature to be replaced for humanity today."
