Ash Masako and Shirako who went up to the fourth floor.

Shirako leaves the elevator and opens the front door.

It was in the hall.

Ash Zheng was stunned to see the sight inside. Liquid-filled glass cylinders are lined up countless times with both hands. Inside the cylinder, there was a brain and spinal cord connected by colorful cords.

Ashes are becoming dumbfounded in their understanding of what it means. My memories are shaken up again.

"Ash. Do you know what this is?" It's your buddy. "

When Hakko smiled sarcastically and heard the dialogue, Ash Zheng was horrified.

"Experiments to obtain aging of the mind. Brain rewrites, memory copies. They did the same to you. Feeding them would cost money, and I was monitoring them freely, like a breeder, because I was concerned that they might have a negative impact if I left them in captivity. Well, most people would be homeless like you, or they would send you to an institution. But the free time is over. This is how we collect it, take it out of the brain, store it, and check its condition."

Speaking to that point, Shirako took the dream band out of the desk drawer and offered it to Ash Masamune.

"If you want to get yourself back, just put this on and switch it on." This is the key. I can perhaps remember everything by giving suggestion to the brain. Actually, no one has used this key yet, and I've never tried it. Maybe I'll get a headache. I don't know what the outcome of that choice will be, but for you-- "

I'll do it.

In the middle of the speech, Ash Masaki received a dream band from Shirako's hand and forcefully declared it.

Put on the dream band, close your eyes, and press the switch.

"Uuuuu..."

Ash Masaki leaks a distressing moan. The effect appeared immediately. At once, all memories were returned, and a strong shock was inflicted on the spirit of ash righteousness.

"Ah... ahhh..."

Shirako giggles as she opens her eyes and looks at the ashes as they shed tears.

"Did you even know in advance what the outcome of that choice would be?"

"I did... I don't regret it."

Shirako asks in a teasing manner, and Ash Zheng answers with a low voice. It was completely different from the upside-down tone I'd heard before. It's an adult way of speaking calmly.

It was more than thirty years of waking up, but all the memories of living as a homeless on the riverbed during that time remain. That, too, is without a doubt himself, Ashishi is conscious. It's not like I disappeared when I was innocently playing with my children on the riverbed.

However, I don't want to go back. Ash Zheng finally returned to his original self. Even if it's not happiness, no matter what kind of tragedy comes, I want to be what I am now.



A car carrying Kanae, Mitsuo, Kamimi, Angelina, and Tsugumi arrives in front of a hilly building.

I think you can do it a little bit, but please try not to come out in front of us.

Yes.

"Jupp"

I'll be a good boy unless the detective gets a pinch.

When Kanae remembered, Tsugumi and Angelina replied with one hand raised and Kami returned with an unstoppable smile.

Kasumi headed the way into the building.

Who is it?

The lady at the reception calls out.

"The dog of state power." What is this facility? It's not even on the Guggle Map, is it? "

Kanae asks in a sharp voice while showing the police notebook.

"This is a private research facility called Sakata Biological Research Institute. What can I do for you?"

The lady at the reception had a slightly timid look on her face. Kanae decides that this is not a backstreet resident, not a mad scientist, just an ordinary person.

"The criminals fled here. Let me check inside."

I don't think I can help it, but Kanae tries to go deeper.

Then a man appeared from the back aisle. Kabadi Man.

"Ka...... Gabadi......"

Seeing the figures of Kanae, Mitsuo, Tsugumi, Kami, and Angelina, Kabadi Man raised his voice and turned back to the passage.

What was that?

You ran away after seeing a lot of people out there, didn't you?

Immediately after the light man tilted his head and Kanae said, a big man appeared from the passage where the kabadi man disappeared, replacing the kabadi man.

"What, he ran away without a fight?"

The giants who came out of the entrance were shocked.

(This person...... can do it......)

At a glance at the giant, Kamimi ran trembling all over her body. I instantly realized that I had a combat power that I could never match.

"Paranormal killer... Ondrei Masaryk." You're hired to be a terrible guy. "

Kanae also takes a breath. I saw that figure the other day, but by confronting it again, I remember the same feeling as Kami. The mechanized hand is about to tremble.

"It seems strong enough to look at this person. Why don't you wait until Junko comes?"

Mitsuo alternates between Ondrei and Kanae, and asks.

"If the police rely on mad scientists, they will lose."

Me and Takeda-san are cyborgs and heroic mice made by mad scientists.

Listening to Kanae's dialogue, Mitsuo spilled a bitter smile.



It was more than 30 years ago to go back to the present. A joint Japanese-Chinese study of alraunes was being conducted at a certain location in Japan.

Many researchers from various fields were gathered, and some of them plotted to use Al Raoune for other purposes. Sakata Shirako and the sisters of Sakata's colorful edge, and those who follow them. Among them was Masamune Aoizato.

Ash Zheng was in charge of a boy.

Ash Masaki felt sorry for the boy and tried to escape from the research facility, but Shirako found him.

I couldn't even ask Junko, who was the head of the office, for help. At that time, Junko happened not to be in the research facility.

"That's perfect. I'll make you number one in the lab."

Shirako spread an evil smile and told Ash Zheng.

"The experiment you proposed for the aging of the mind." I put your plan to the point where it's feasible. First, I will use my modified alraunelli copy as a control device and implant it in the brain. Next, I'll copy your child's memories and personality to you. It's not just overwriting your spirit. Mix two minds and memories. The point is whether or not you can maintain your child's state of mind after copying it. If you can control it... if you follow your reasoning, you'll be able to keep your spirit aging. Oh, by the way, you're the one in charge of the former copipet. And the girl you tried to get away with. That's right--Kurosuke. "

Shirako's terrible malice caused Ash Zheng to lose his words and fall down. I knew that Shirako was a woman who was not a bastard, but I didn't think she was this far.

“That's funny. I couldn't help but think of it as a platform for my own experiments. No, it's an honor, isn't it? Well, in any case, this is the result of your choice. Did you choose it even though you knew this would happen?"

Shirako mocked and asked.

(Still, I would have made this choice.....)

And Zheng Zheng answered him as if he were speaking unto himself, without uttering a word.

(Junko-san, Kirisaki-san... I've failed. I'll take care of you later....)

Before consciousness vanishes, Ash Masamune prays. As insurance against my failure, I sent Junko and Kirisaki an email just before they did so that they could help Kurosuke. But there is no guarantee that Kurosuke will be helped until the two of us hit this facility. That's why I couldn't rely on it from the beginning.

As a result of the contraindication experiment, the positive spirit of ash showed a significant change. I lost most of my memories and began to behave and behave like a young child. It also causes mild intellectual disability.

It was too young for a ten-year-old. Kindergarten or elementary school. The original memory of Kopipe is not reflected, nor is the personality. Has a completely different personality arisen, or has one personality given birth to a child?

Later, ashes were thrown out in such a state and became vagrants. And for more than thirty years, you will be observed.

The spirit of ash righteousness came to a standstill. In that regard alone, it can be said that the experiment was successful, but there is no point in going crazy.

There are dozens of other people who have been treated similarly to Ashes. There are many other adults who copied the spirit and memory of Kurosuke, who was a child. Likewise, those used in experiments to prevent the aging of the mind. Ash correction is similarly observed in the abandoned state. All of them suffer from mild intellectual impairment, just like ashes.

It takes years to determine the results of this experiment. Even if it is judged that no change in mental age can be seen even if the brain is abnormal, the experiment will be successful if it is prevented from abnormal brain later.



Well, what do you think of all the memories?

Shirako peeked into the face of the ash who had removed the dream band and asked with a smile.

The face of Ash Masaki had changed. Until now, it is not a substitute that the infantility is stuck to the face of the old man. Is it an old man who is old enough or not? A sharply tightened man's face, mixed with anger, remorse, and determination.

Where is Kurosuke-kun!?

Shirako was stared at, and Ash Zheng exclaimed.
