Rebuild World

184 Tiol's Awakening

After he finished defeating his enemies and the field regained calm, the Sonodas were taking a break with their fellow healers.

"So, what about the injury?

"Oh. It's just that. That doctor, he's a tough guy to work with, but he's a top notch in the arm. I'm sorry I put you in danger because of me."

I answer with a smile and a light tone to my buddy who apologizes for the way Sonoda looks a little heavy.

"It's the team that does something about it. Don't worry about it. The cost of treatment ended up being free. I was a little concerned that I was in a good mood to only (just) treat us, but instead of being asked to give me money because it was a failed request."

Sonoda and the others laugh at the slightly heavier air and continue the chatter.

"... but even though it turned out to be helpful, I didn't expect to go into every clinic over there. What are you thinking?"

"So, where did the doctor go with that palm?

"Come on? Are you looking for an injured person?

"Let go of the clinic?... mah, okay"

The Sonodas laughed joyfully and were delighted with the safety of their people.

The palm is looking into the individual defeated by the hunters in a fun way. He was dissecting a human form the size of a boy with suspicious equipment. Cut open an individual with some kind of apparatus that remains relatively primitive, take something from his head and laugh fun.

"Transmitter discovery. But this isn't what I embedded. Duplicated?"

The palm leaks a laugh he can't enjoy.

"... and this, are all the lower terminals here? The level of autonomy should be low. Is it close to simple remote maneuvering? I see. But just preying on the monster that makes it possible, I don't think I can take that feature so highly. Mr. Tiol, apparently you are in touch with the wisdom of the old world. I'm really jealous. I've come this far too."

The palms did not turn to help Akira and Sonoda. I discovered a number of reactions that I believe belong to Tiol, so I went to investigate them. The reason I couldn't wait until the situation settled was because I couldn't contain Yi's mind, and because of concerns that it was unlikely but an exit instruction would come from the city side.

It was also for investigative purposes that we sent Sonoda and the others. He falsely dispatched a rescue target to the spot where the palm hit.

I laugh joyfully at the head of the palm rolling nearby.

"If you're listening to me, you should show your face. You're welcome?

The rolling head returned nothing.

Alpha and Tsubaki are confronted in a bright white world. Alpha has a harsh gaze at Tsubaki with a grumpy look.

I'd like an explanation.

Tsubaki is flat with a missing face of affection.

"None"

Alpha turns his gaze into something sharper and more ruthless.

"Hostile with me. Is that how you interpret it?

Nor does Tsubaki begin to seep through strong, dark intimidation on his face.

"I'm not unnecessarily hostile to you. If you are unconditionally demanding to drool your head, decide that there is a sufficient need. If you need it, let's make a difference."

Alpha and Tsubaki continue to confront each other silently. In the course of time that is different from reality, a long silence continues to fill the place. And Alpha opened her mouth first.

"… I would like an explanation for the attempted murder of an individual under your control."

"First of all, to defend my area of control, I only implemented a system of unstable re-establishment for individuals who captured some of the policing functions in the surrounding area. That individual is not technically an individual under my control. As a result of policing the area according to the individual's judgment criteria, the individual was accidentally targeted. Well, I'm not giving you instructions not to attack that individual, but you don't have the right to do that to me."

"Yes."

Alpha showed convincing and loosened her expression to an unfathomable degree. Tsubaki also weakens intimidation. When the scene improved from a one-touch state to the point where it was relatively easy to talk, Tsubaki now tabulated his dissatisfaction.

"I warn you, if you enter my controlled compartment without permission, I will process it, even if it is your (your) hand pawn. Beware."

"I'll be careful."

Alpha disappeared after unfathomably saying so.

Tsubaki gives a slightly troublesome look.

"... totally, laboriously"

Tsubaki also disappears from the white space. The space where the administrator disappeared quickly disappeared intact.

Akira, who almost ran out of remnants, has Elena and the others escorting her to the makeshift base. I had Elena and the others in my car, and the bike was set to chase after me with automatic driving.

Sarah laughs lightly as she looks at the bike that Akira keeps running unattended.

"It's a feature that often comes with high-performance wilderness spec motorcycles, but when you look at it without thinking, it's a sight that even ghosts seem to be riding."

"Is it a ghost? Indeed."

"Speaking of ghosts, does Akira know? There are suspicions of inviting ghosts in the ruins of Kuzhara Street."

"Well, roughly. You're talking about ghosts who feed on relics from the old world and bring hunters to the back of the ruins to kill them."

Akira, who had many thoughts, gave a slightly subtle look. And keep making excuses.

"... Well, it's not uncommon for a hunter to die behind a ruin for artifact collection purposes, with or without a ghost."

Elena pinches her mouth from the driver's seat.

"That suspicious talk. In fact, there are rumors that things used to be completely different."

"Really? What's it about?

"That's the theory and I don't really know the details. It is also said that the management of Kugamayama City at the time did a lot of backwork to spread another rumor (rumor) so as not to reduce the number of hunters who went to explore the ruins of Kuzhara Street. Back then, when we made enough money in the outer periphery of the ruins of Kuzhara Street, there was a theory that rumors (rumors) had been circulated that had been altered to reduce the number of hunters heading to the ruins in order to keep other than the hunters of the city's children away from the ruins."

Alpha descended on Akira's side (buckwheat) where she was listening with interest.

"I'm home"

"Welcome home. That was late. Weren't you supposed to be back soon?

Smile with pleasure as if the alpha were a little.

"Oh, you couldn't wait for my return so long? Happy."

'... me and Alpha just have a different sense of time'

Akira broke off the pursuit with it. Alpha was smiling with pleasure.

Inside the makeshift base is a conference room that has been used primarily by servicemen to combat information leakage. Cheryl and Viola in that room, and a man named Inabe, executive officer of the temporary base, sat across the street.

Inabe, while slightly wary of Viola, was basically looking down, and Cheryl, his companion, was taking it lightly.

"So, what can I do for you? Admit the excellence of being able to meet with me, but if you need help, I'll have you home soon."

Viola takes out the relics of the old world and puts them in front of Inave. Inabe sees it and smiles with a slight mockery.

"So?"

"This is the appraisal. The appraisal belongs to the black and silver store. I asked you informally, so there is no company seal, but the details are definite."

Check the contents of the appraisal received by Inave from Viola.

"An old world-made information device of unknown origin that we talked about a while ago? Are you in the mood for a bribe? That was a lick."

Viola laughs with great pleasure at Inabe, who is showing her spare attitude while pointing her gaze at the artifact.

"Looks like the investigation was scattered."

The look on Inave's face becomes all the rage at once.

"... what do you mean?

I'll leave it to your imagination.

"... how far are you?

"Maybe I'm just making you confused by saying things like that"

Viola's expression turned suspiciously amusing only for the amount of time Inabe's expression increased her risk.

The site offensive rear contact line securing plan, which began with the construction of a temporary base, is a major project being implemented by the city of Kugamayama. Naturally a large number of rights are involved, and they are also deeply involved in factional and force strife within the city.

The person responsible for promoting the plan is Yanagisawa. The construction and subsequent operation of the temporary base were progressing well, as was the rear contact line, which showed its own arm with the result that the collection of artifacts from the perimeter of the rear contact line was also progressing well, thus firmly consolidating its power base. The days of misery continued for those who wanted to drive down the Janagi Sawa.

If there is only one gap to enter, Yanagisawa puts the extension of the rear contact line first, in that it relatively underestimates the surrounding strategy. The factions hostile to Yanagisawa were about to see a breakthrough from it.

If you become in charge of the management of an area rich in expensive artifacts, you will also have more rights to pour into that person. It can also be a stepping stone to breaking a strong state of goat sawa. Inabe also invested a lot of money in surveying her own area.

However, the survey of Inave's area of responsibility ended in scattered results. No expensive artifacts were found in the interrupted investigation either, after the presence of a population of wepon dogs and man-made monsters was confirmed and the danger of the area jumped.

An area where strong monsters wander and there are no artifacts. Neither do cities throw funds at such places. If you remain in charge, you will be deemed ineligible for investment. If that happens, the funds thrown will be wasted, the birth will be distant and the power within the faction will be weakened. Inabe was in a hurry.

When I saw the old world-made information device Viola brought in, Inabe immediately came up with it. If you decide to discover this unidentified artifact in your area of responsibility, the value of that area will jump. It will at least be a stepping stone and a time buyer to overcome this predicament, with additional budgets available and further investment can also be called in.

Inabe's gaze was unconsciously directed at the old world-made information terminal.

(... it would be possible for me to mislead this into an artifact found in the compartment. But I've heard rumors about this woman. Even if you get this all mixed up, only one place is highly regarded...)

In front of the lost Inave, Viola drew the artifact in front of Inave to her own. The stray and impatient look on Inave's face intensifies. Furthermore, Viola took out additional artifacts and arranged them on the table.

(... this is all I have, enough persuasion... Yeah, but that's what this woman brought in, right? How many people have ruined their involvement in this guy... However, it is also said that the accuracy of the products and information to be brought in is certain…)

Inabe's expression is intricately distorted by anticipation, suspicion, temptation, and hope. And the thirst for a glorious future that might be gained began to seep.

I laugh with great pleasure when Viola sees how Inave is doing. And tell Cheryl in a slightly playful tone.

"Boss. I'm sorry to hear that, but I couldn't spare Mr. Inabe's interest. I don't have enough power."

"Okay."

Cheryl stands up and bows her head courteously to Inabe in a flat manner.

"Dear Inabe, Thank you very much for your time today."

"Ma, stay!

Inabe stopped reflexively feeling signs of really going home instead of rushing from Cheryl. So Inabe's decision was also followed.

"... have a seat. What's the demand?

Wait until Cheryl sits down, then Viola laughs and answers.

"The boss runs a so-called relic shop. I want you to help me with that purchase."

"It's easy for you to say, but you're telling me you know that involves a lot of rights?

"I didn't ask you to scrape the expensive artifacts around. At your discretion, you should only spin a reasonable number of items. Is that possible? I'll pay for it properly. At the right price."

Inabe begins to worry again. But I've already made up my mind. He meant to be worried, but what he was actually doing was just a washout of the pretext of accepting the demands.

"Okay. Let's take it."

We have a deal.

Viola signals Cheryl with her gaze. Cheryl observed the instructions and moved all the artifacts placed on the table towards Inave.

Inabe moves her gaze from artifact to Cheryl. I had already completely lost Cheryl. Cheryl wears tailored clothes purchased at Cashare's store. The garments that Selene had tailored to the full extent of her unparalleled rare (rare) talent without worrying about her budget had given Cheryl some majesty at the same time as she had enhanced her natural beauty. It should also be noted that the direction of tailoring clothes is given by Viola.

"I ask you something that doesn't come with me, but what's your relationship with Viola?

"At work, boss and subordinates. That's all."

…… Right. "

Inabe compared a woman who doesn't know her existing specialty to a woman who doesn't know her new specialty, and concluded that she was both cautious.

As Cheryl and the others packed the details of the deal for the time being, Inabe's men came in to report it.

"Excuse me. This is a status report on the person type of the example."

"Let me hear it."

"In conclusion, this group of individuals is not like automatic dolls. If you classify it, it's a biological monster, close to bulimia crocodiles, etc."

"In other words?"

"You can't expect asset value"

"... right"

Inabe exhaled heavily. If that individual is an old world-made automatic doll, if the facility that produces them exists nearby, it will generate enough asset value to put a lot of money into the area in question. It was a pale expectation, but still disappointing when crushed.

"We are continuing a thorough investigation. The Quarantine Division also wants you to provide samples."

"Give him whatever you want."

Viola pinches her mouth.

"That's the story of a people-shaped monster that's being alerted to?

"That's right. Whether the automatic doll was wandering, the hunter was attacking his peers, obstruction by the Founding Fathers, or really just a people-shaped monster, he had to be careful not to stir up extra anxiety because the details were unknown. Well, now you're sure it's the monster's fault. The items recovered for investigation are packed into the warehouse. If you're interested, why don't you go check it out?

"Let's go"

Inabe looks surprised.

"Look, what are we gonna do? It's not even an automatic doll. Even an unusual corpse has a hobby to watch?

Viola smiles badly.

"One way or another, it's a hobby to see how people panic when the other person unexpectedly accepts the premise of being turned down."

Inave makes a slight mockery of him.

"Well, as rumors have it, the quality is poor."

"In order not to be taken unnecessary qualities, I will not say anything extra. It is also in order (to) develop that habit as a negotiator. Hey, boss?

"Don't ask for consent"

Cheryl returned the untenable attitude. Viola is laughing fun. Inabe was surprised by Cheryl's relationship.

"Well, if you want to see it, you can. I'll show you around."

Cheryl was led with Viola to the warehouse at the temporary base by Inabe. I'm not interested in human monster corpses, etc., but it's because I can't help staying alone, and it's because I don't want to leave any extra corpses on my own.

The warehouse houses a large number of artifacts collected at the site. Large shelves were installed in large quantities and various artifacts were housed in a bit of a mess.

Viola whispers as Cheryl is lightly overwhelmed by the condition of the warehouse.

"This is a repository of relics from the old world, albeit of low value. You don't normally go in there, do you? You had a good experience, didn't you?

"Was that what you were after from the beginning?

I don't know.

Cheryl looked at the surroundings with interest, remembering the slight irritation of being swayed by a viola who wouldn't let her read intentions, but also considering it a rare (rare) opportunity.

In a corner of the warehouse, Akira and the others defeated the mannequins. Multiple mannequins were stored in a condition resembling vacuum packaging. Relatively good condition, with almost (mostly) intact faces visible under transparent packaging. The damaged items were packed in small containers.

Inabe, who led Cheryl and the others so far, looks at them and exhales.

"If these are old world-made automatic dolls, they're a pile of treasure."

Viola looks at them a little intrigued.

"You've been carefully packaged."

"Oh, the stuff I send to the lab of a company I'm dating, etc. looks somewhat better. It was a lot of rubbish in a brief investigation, but if experts investigate it with care, it could produce different results. A doll that appeared to be Bill's equipment was brought into the purchase some time ago, but that came with considerable value even in largely destroyed condition. If these are given similar values, they are the result of a slight advance."

Next to Viola and Inabe talking in, Cheryl looked at the vacuum-packed individual as she listened to the story with interest. And suddenly he looks quite surprised. I felt a slight look on my face under the vacuum packaging.

"... Tiol?

Cheryl also checks the faces of other individuals. I notice that they all have similar faces, and I find them mildly puzzling. I've tried to doubt its relevance, but I can't think of anything.

Inabe takes a mild joke out of her mouth when she realizes how Cheryl is doing.

"If you're interested, do you want to take it home? We need to talk about the price."

"No, I won't"

"I guess."

Cheryl and the others then left the warehouse when Inabe prompted them to leave, realizing that they had kept outsiders for quite some time.

One of the individuals resembling Tiol was following Cheryl with only a small amount of energy remaining in the fuselage. No one noticed it because the individual also immediately ceased to function completely.

Tiol was in an uncertain consciousness as if he were dreaming.

The palm was administering to Tiol a modified nanomachine extracted from a security monster. It was an experiment in a technique that misled the monster's enemy ally identifier, and if successful, it should have allowed him to explore the ruins without being attacked by a monster.

But the experiment failed. Conversely, the nanomachine that reached the brain was beginning to grasp Tiol's consciousness. But it was also an unstable system, and Tiol received communications flying around the area to the cod (bullshit) and followed the vague instructions given by the system bug to fly out of the palm clinic.

Afterwards, he remained halfway through the security system, lurking in a suburban hall (yakuza) or engaging with monsters that the system deemed illegal at the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street, acting like a program that caused malfunction.

Nanomachines modified by palms were repeating mutations. It also took in the functionality of the nanomachine injected for treatment and the functionality of the predatory monster to enable odd split generation and even the self-modification of the body.

Now Tsubaki put his hand on that tiol. Tiol was reborn into part of the security system of the old world when Tsubaki rebuilt a system that was in complex competition and malfunctioning inside Tiol.

Tiol, who had been greatly altered in the way he existed, was unexpectedly living a full day. I was delighted to have gained unparalleled strength when I was in Slam Street. He enjoyed generating his own lower terminals to expand his power and fight hunters, monsters, etc. I had even forgotten my name, but it wasn't a big deal for Tiol then.

If you keep guarding as usual, the lower terminal encounters Akira. Tiol forgot about Akira, etc. But when I perceived the information sent from the lower terminals, strange instructions, desires came from the back of my consciousness.

Get rid of that and you'll get great stuff. Tiol's consciousness had already become part of the security system, but his desire pushed off system-side judgment. When Tiol tampered with the system's criteria with intense intent, he directed all the surrounding lower terminals towards eliminating the target.

In the end Akira could not be eliminated, but Tiol's will, which had emerged, continued to remain halfway.

And you get footage and sound of Cheryl whining (crushing) Tiol's name from a lower terminal that was completely incapable of fighting.

Tiol, reborn into another being, saw Cheryl and was called by his own name and again fell in love (bob) with Cheryl at first sight. At that moment, he reconstructed Tiol's consciousness, where swollen emotions were part of the system.

Tiol, who was in a room in the abandoned building of the ruins, opens his eyes wide. Somehow the will fills my face, which was as clerically faceless as a lack of will.

"I'm Tiol."

Be alert to Tiol like the lower terminals that were nearby flipped the anti-flag on the system. But when Tiol found them, he forcefully took over and submitted to the system of instructions. Lower terminals kneel (kneel first) at Tiol.

Tiol understood that he was in a state of partial fusion with the system. Though you've regained your self, the system's constraints are powerful. As things stand, instead of going back to Kugamayama City, I can't even get out of the security section. Now I can't go see Cheryl.

"What can I do?... right! That's him!"

Tiol jumped out of the building window with his out-of-pocket physical abilities. And from the height of instant death if you're a regular person, when you made a big crack on the ground and landed, you kept running through the ruins for your destination.

Tiol screams to the best of his power in a room in an abandoned building that is a destination, one that is largely damaged and can no longer be said to be white.

"Come out! I guess you can come out here! I know you're hearing me! I know you're still looking at me from somewhere!

Tiol looked around as he kept screaming, but his own voice just kept echoing through the room.

"I told you to come out! If you're not coming out, I'm gonna go around telling the hunters all over you about your presence! That's not a threat!

Then a 3D video of a bump appeared in the room. Tsubaki had a troublesome cold look on his face.

Tiol shouts as he finds a bump, rushing over.

"You're out! Remove the restrictions you embedded in me! Otherwise..."

Don't move.

In that word of Tsubaki, Tiol's body stiffened in defiance of his will. Tsubaki approaches Tiol in a state of immobility with a mild expression of contempt.

"It really lacks courtesy. It's unpleasant. And it lacks intelligence. I know you're getting more power and exaltation than you are, but you think you can make demands if you scream?

When Tsubaki comes to Tiol's side, he inserts his 3D video hand into Tiol's head.

"I tweaked the unstable system as a reward for it, hoping you could defend the perimeter of my administration area, but if you're unhappy, let's undo it. Like an organism without a busy intelligence, like a malfunctioning machine, it's good to be rampaging around pointlessly until you die."

Tiol resists desperately remembering what it feels like to be scratched (or) spinning his presence. He tries to escape from Tsubaki's hand with all the force he has in his immovable body. Then Tiol's body moved out very slowly but slightly. And I pulled Tsubaki's hand out of my own head.

Tsubaki gives me a pretty unexpected look.

"How much can you defy the system?... good to move"

Tiol took a great distance from Tsubaki at the same time he felt that he had untied something that was tying his body. Surprised and rushed, he gives a strong (frightened) look mixed with fear and anger, and stares at the swordfish with a rough breath.

Tsubaki smiles (cheeks) cold after showing a few thoughts.

"I changed my mind. Let's make a deal."

"And a deal?

"Yes, because I don't even feel comfortable with the security of the compartment. Do me a favor. Once you've accomplished that, we'll remove your restrictions as far as possible under my authority. I will also look greatly at the disrespect earlier. How about that?

"... hey, what am I supposed to do?

When Tiol heard the details of the favor from Tsubaki, he changed his expression dramatically to its content.

"... you're telling me to do that?

"I won't force you, but if you refuse, I will return the reward you gave me."

If you refuse, you will also return to the state where you were rampant in the ruins in a suspicious state. Tiol had no choice.

"Wow, okay. I'll do it."

"That's a deal. Well, please be kind."

Tsubaki smiled slightly lovingly and disappeared. At the same time, Tiol's expression is very distorted.

"... Damn! You should do it! If you do it, you bastard!

Tiol's scream echoed through the room.
