Rebuild World

The night after I refrained from exploring the massive ruins. Yanagi Sawa was smiling bitterly when he read the plan.

There is no exit for Inave at the earliest (no longer) time. He rode Viola's invitation to disguise the results of the collection of the relics in charge of the compartment, which resulted in the collapse of a colleague and even the loss of a leg. We got through it temporarily, but it was also in the end a temporary disguise, which makes no difference to the reality that no expensive artifacts have been discovered from the compartment in question. Sooner or later I'll expose it if I don't overwrite it with the greater truth. Prior to that, we must successfully lead this search for the site and at all costs obtain a section capable of obtaining large quantities of expensive artifacts. Before lies overlap and are crushed by their weight.

The plan contained a number of matters that could easily be conceived of Inave's struggle. As far as possible under his own authority, he invested in the budget, solicited investments from unlimited sources, and invested private property to secure his strength.

As I continued to read the plan, I found Akira and Katsuya's names in the list of hunters to be put into the site exploration. Yanagisawa reflected on a series of events there and flew his thoughts into the past.

When Nergo told him that Katsuya was the old realm connector after the feud in Slam Street, Yanagisawa was asking Nergo in a tone of exuberance but surprise (a lot).

"Thank you very much for your valuable information. But what, I'm not suspicious, can I ask you how you got that information? No, I'm not suspicious. I'm not suspicious, am I? Just in case."

Nergo goes on without showing any particular reaction to the attitude of Yanagisawa, who asked in an openly suspicious tone, in a lightly playful manner.

"I'm not telling you to believe me. When securing the rash here, it is only confirmation because it is unnecessary to rub (or not) with the comrade. I don't mind securing a rash here. There is no problem. As long as my comrade answers that. That's fine. You don't mind?

"So-so, so-so, so-so, without saying so. I want to ask you a lot. That's good. Me and you, right? I'd like to ask you a few questions here, Professor. I'd like to ask someone who doesn't know anything to be polite. See, it would be tough if a misunderstanding arose later because of something I didn't know about? I want to hear it. I want to solve my misunderstandings."

I don't agree unless I answer. Rub if necessary. If you answer, there is room for negotiation. When Yanagisawa told him so in the dark, Nergo returned a mild snooze.

"... would be good. Now, before I explain, let's start with the basics. What's an old realm connector?

"What do you mean, someone who can connect to the old realm on his own?

"I know you're intentionally in love, but that's strictly false, in a narrow sense. It's just a kind of confirmation method where the subject is an old area connector. Old realm connectors are the generic term for humans who can realize some means of communication not elucidated by current technology in biological functions, and similar. Although many interpret the old area as being only included in its communication destination, because there are many cases in which it can also be connected to the old area, and because there are many cases in which it operates as a means of connecting to the old area. Connection to the old area is not mandatory per se. Next. You know what they call reading?

"Is it a kind of nickname for a linguistic means of transmitting information through an auditory path without air vibration? The one who mainly has an information terminal embedded in his head uses its communication function to talk without speaking up, even if he calls it that a little carefree."

"Various communication rules and technologies exist and are disturbed even in the current information terminals, but the same applies to the old area connectors. For this reason, not all old area connectors can be embedded, but many old area connectors can also talk. Even more information that can be transmitted is not about voice or character coincidence."

"Can you send pictures and videos on your current information device?

"I'm sorry about that. Personal and functional differences exist, but a wide variety of information can be communicated. It even includes something called a (so-called) survey, which is difficult to explain linguistically. I guess advanced technology in the old world would make it possible. And those who can transmit certain types of information are prone to create specific cases. We saw the similarity from the katsuya."

"Heh. So what kind of information do you send, what's the case?

"It's spiritual information called emotions, impressions, etc. His hands are easily distorted (snoring) to build extreme relationships. To give an example, there are instances where whoever likes is completely liked, and whoever dislikes is disliked like a snake scorpion. This manifests itself particularly in those who are prone to put their emotions on the table"

"I see. Everyone likes who likes themselves, and it's easy to remember to dislike those who dislike them. The result of an unconscious transmission of an emotion to the other person? Sometimes short words that don't decorate can shake a person's emotions louder. If you can transmit without words and with pure emotion only, you can reach its extreme. I guess that would already work. But, you know, if they weren't connected to the old realm, they wouldn't be able to receive the information from that hand, would they?

When Yanagi Sawa asked him like he was in love again, Nergo also returned a mild snooze.

"... I know you're in love, but let me answer that. Eastern humans are technically basically the majority of them old realm connectors. By analogy with the information terminal, the sensitivity and output of the transmission/reception function are simply so low that it is not possible to connect to the old region, or it is only a state in which the connection is defective due to an error in the communication control setting information. Investigative anatomy comparisons of the brains of ordinary people and so-called (so-called) old realm connectors do not differ more than individual differences. This is why we can't discover the old realm connectors even if we look at a large number of humans in the east at one end with laboratory equipment such as hospitals. In other words, if it is simply impossible to connect to the old region, and there is a difference in sensitivity, but it is possible to receive it, if the communication is of the order of short-range general-purpose communication in the information terminal. Of course (of course), the individual difference is huge. Many people living near the western side of the east do not seem to have a complete reception function due to the fact that many people have flown from the centre and their descendants. As descendants of the old world, it depends on the extent to which they have taken over the skilled blood."

"It is. I studied. But, you know, it's kind of weird to decide you're an old realm connector just because of that relationship, right? That kind of thing isn't that uncommon, and you'd be normal there if you looked, wouldn't you?

"The discernment of the old realm connectors is the result of a composite investigation. There are other judgment materials. For example, there is a significant difference between a mechanical, logical assessment and a subjective, emotional assessment of the person in question. That's the result of unconsciously sending a self-assessment and influencing the evaluation from them. In other words, if you truly believe that you are awesome, your opponent is not drawn to that impression and raises your rating. Original strength and surrounding perception. Judging by this difference."

"It's because even severe incompetence is regarded as extremely competent. And by being evaluated that way by others, self-evaluation is further enhanced. That's repetition. But it's normal for people who are overwhelmed with confidence to be highly regarded. Besides, I don't think Katsuya's that incompetent, do you? You've got a good track record of running hunters. If you're just incompetent, you think you're already dead? Monsters don't give a shit about that kind of rating."

"I don't underestimate Katsuya's ability to fight either. He is competent enough. What matters is the discomfort that arises from the difference. It turns out that I actually infiltrated Drancam and observed it at a close distance, scrutinizing the discomfort I felt from it. Evaluation in documents. Evaluation from background. evaluation from those close to him. ratings from those who are not. It is a conclusion that washed out and scrutinized the inconsistencies in those assessments. … I have to agree with some of them on this point if they say there's not enough scrutiny."

"Heh? Something wrong?

"Katsuya participates in the recent clashes in Slam Street, but I was the one who told him where Suri named Aruna is. Tell me where he is from his personality and I'll go help him. That's what I was thinking. That was right, but my prediction was that he was supposed to ask for Drancam's support. There is no way Drancam could have moved to rescue Suri. The influence of his old realm connectors there, the extent to which the factors that he also calls peculiarities affect. To what extent do those who favor him and who are highly valued look out for the interests of the organization? To that extent, I was going to see if he was really carrying out the sending of emotions and assessments as an old realm connector.... I didn't think I was going in alone. That's unexpected. As a result, it became difficult to discern whether Dorancam's subsequent response was a result of trying to erase the tissue failure or shelter him, and was no longer suitable as a material for determining specificity."

"Heh. That was the reason"

I've been in love ever since I first found out everything. Nergo remembers a slight irritation with the attitude of the goatee sawa and seeps it into a slight tone.

"... As I said earlier, the discernment of the old realm connectors is a composite finding. The impact on the overall assessment is negligible, even in the presence of parts lacking the accuracy of some judgment materials. The overall assessment does not cover. It would not be necessary to give any further examples of the content of the investigation. Let's hear a response."

"Well, I'd like to hear something else about the Katsuya investigation, as it's good."

"What?"

"For example, do you think old realm connectors like that are also in Slam Street?

"Why would you ask that?"

"Well, don't say that. I just wanted to ask someone who knows how to identify old realm connectors, that's all."

After Nergo breathes back again, he answers clearly.

"No. He's dead."

"Whoa, that's outrageous. If that's all you have to say, I'd like to hear a little bit about the rationale..."

Yanagisawa tried to go on with his usual slightly joking attitude. There Nergo interrupts.

"Executives in Kugamayama cities have previously traded with researchers in reconstruction (rebuild) technology. It is not known whether the current researcher or former researcher. Request research costs and laboratory sites in return for providing a means of artificially encouraging awakening as an incomplete but former realm connector. The city drank the demand. What the comrades would like to hear is a reflection on the matter, isn't it?

Yanagi Sawa makes a slightly more serious voice.

"... it's pretty top-secret inside the city."

"Comrades are not the only people inside the city who cooperate with us. Many others agree with our cause and help us achieve it. That's what I mean."

"It is. It would be helpful if you could send me a list of those collaborators."

"I say no. That is something I know without having to teach if I become a true comrade who truly endorses our greatness. Let's just say we're eager for our comrades to become our comrades in the true sense of the word."

"Oh, yeah. Hmm."

Slight silence flowed. That is the separation between Yanagisawa and Nergo, and because they are mutually beneficial, it means the wall of temporal cooperation. Yanagisawa and Nergo are not on the same side of the wall.

"... what can I say instead, but let's answer to the earlier rationale. The means provided by that researcher is probably a type of nanomachine that promotes some mutation, in the form of administration to the subject. It shouldn't be like physically implanting an expansion device. I would have been told that it was still under study and still required a large number of subjects in the field of human experimentation (Hanchi), with low certainty. Stand out if you recruit a large number of subjects. The number of subjects is also insufficient. I want an old realm connector, but if I expose my dealings with rebuild (rebuild) technology, it can be a hassle. So I mixed that nanomachine into the food I was distributing to Slam Street. That way, whether the nanomachine runs wild and the subject dies, or ends up in a monster, it will ostensibly be an unfortunate accident. That kind of intent has existed in that food distribution since the beginning. It is a poisonous taste because it does not cause accidents caused by residual nanomachines from monsters to customers. It's really lamentable."

"Well, I'll refrain from commenting on business ethics. So?"

"Those who depend on food rations are in a position of weakness even in Slam Street. Even if the experiment succeeds and some of them wake up as old realm connectors of the same lineage as Katsuya, those people will soon die. Before the experiment confirms the success story. Because of this, the experiment was seen as a failure, and the experiment should have ended in a short period of time. So I said," He's not here, he's dead, "

"Any reason to die? Maybe he's alive."

"The environment in Slam Street is harsh. In order to survive, the weak need to realize that they are weak. If the weak are on track to say they are strong themselves, they will be killed noticeably and immediately. And we need to act suspiciously and deeply. Otherwise, he will die as soon as he is deceived. But when the weak person becomes an old realm connector capable of transmitting impressions and emotional similarities, their ability to transmit becomes a factor that makes survival in Slam Street significantly more difficult. He keeps sending unconsciously that he is a weak person, and is insulted beyond degrees by his opponent, and is grossly belittled. It truly passes on to the target up to the minimum suspicions necessary for survival in Slam Street, damaging even the heartbeat from the target. As a result, collective action is significantly more difficult. Even if those rated as cruel (awful), weak and utterly unreliable belong to a group, they will either be truncated or just crushed. It is the feather that bears only the shortcomings of collective action. The weak in Slam Street find themselves in a situation where they are at a minimum tamed and even unable to collaborate. I'll die for sure."

"There you go. Send me a favor, a favor, a trust, and I'll offset the flaws."

"I probably can't. The transmission technology of that hand is not mechanical, but tends to be close to technical things such as conversations. If you describe it as accustomed or skilled, the more you are accustomed to, the more precise and output you get, and if you are unfamiliar, the less. The environment just described makes it significantly more difficult to transmit positive emotions such as confidence, trust and preference, and conversely easier to transmit negative emotions such as distrust, suspicion and disgust. If they send positive emotions in that state and return negative responses, they have a worse impression. Instead of offsetting, Ning will get worse."

"... what if he still didn't die?

Instead of just kidding around and listening back over and over again, Nergo's voice also has a surprisingly strong color that makes him feel like he's about to listen to something in that guise.

"... why eat down so much?

"Well, don't say that"

"... will go hunter to survive. That is about the means by which those who do not belong to an organization and have no credibility, trust, or companionship will be provided with food for life in the long run. They survived the harsh slums. Maybe I can do it as a hunter. No wonder I made that decision. But that's a misunderstanding. The wilderness is not like Slam Street. Out in the wilderness, attacked by monsters, die. It's a common cause of death for beginners looking to hunt. Furthermore, in the case of former domain connectors, it is easier to die than only (just) beginners. Originally humans transmit their own presence to monsters simply because they are on the spot. It informs its position with sound, light, smell, vibration, and various things. At the same time, however, the colorless mist drifting through the atmosphere inhibits the transmission of that information, blunting the monster's advanced enemy capability. However, unknown information transmission functions, which are unconsciously transmitted by old area connectors, are often not inhibited by information transmission due to the effects of colorless fog. And some monsters perceive it. As a result, old realm connectors have an increased chance of encountering monsters than normal humans. If you do poorly, distant monsters come looking for you (on purpose). The odds of dying just for that matter increase. Survival is unrealistic when old realm connectors from Slam Street go out into the wilderness"

"... still, what if he still didn't die?

"... so why eat down so much?

"Well, don't say that. This is the last time."

"… an environment with so much strength but not recognized by others would greatly distort (boil) the temperament of the person. We should continue to move east, seeking as much further power and place as we can be recognized, remaining personable as a mass of human mistrust. You will die in the process, but if you still don't, then sooner or later you'll reach the eastern end, to the front line, and you'll be active there? That area is home to those who in many ways are greatly skewed in strength and character. There's no wonder there are such people."

"I see. It was an interesting story indeed. That was hilarious. Oh, thank you, but Katsuya, do as you please. I have nothing to complain about. I just have a little trouble asking you to help me take him away. You know that one, but he's starting to stand out a lot, including the noise the other day. Even this way, it's unnatural not to treat a conspicuous hunter like that. I want you to understand."

"No problem. Neither are we willing to imitate him like we're taking him away. Instead convey our righteousness to advance indoctrination and promote the journey to comrades. That's all."

"You're asking Katsuya to mix and send a good impression of the great cause to increase her endorsement of Foundationalism?"

"I would like you to say that we will push for the transmission of pure ideas that have removed the bias caused by the propaganda of the Unified Enterprise. Okay, excuse me."

After the communication with Nergo went out, Yanagisawa shrugged.

"... how far are you willing to go? Well, if you don't get in my way."

Yanagi Sawa knows. Some of the information that old realm connectors can send as a mindset is of such poor quality that it cannot be compared to the impressions, emotions, etc. described by Nergo.

In the old world era, when the old realm connectors were commonly present, the enemies were sent an understanding and made to understand that it was best to commit suicide now, and civilization was annihilated as a result of simultaneous suicide on a national basis with each other. Even though civilization has perished, it is because of the fact that the building remains intact and intact beyond explanation in its self-repair function. Such hypotheses have also been made.

As a result of strengthening security as a top priority in order to escape that understanding attack, those who were unable to communicate even minimally survived and rebuilt civilization. And the humans of the east are their descendants, and because of their actions, they cannot connect to the former realm. Judging from that point of view, those who are currently called former realm connectors are in danger of loose security. It is inherently preposterous to increase the number of former domain connectors for the benefit of the company. Some claim so.

There are many other problems stemming from the characteristics of the old area connectors. I don't know how far Nergo knows those knowledge in Yanagisawa. I was pretending to be ignorant to see how far they knew and how far they were going to tell themselves.

At the very least, Nergo has a strong resistance to the transmission of impressions from the old realm connectors, and because of his own mental state swings, he cannot identify the old realm connectors. That is why we are trying to discern from the swings of others. If the Founding Fathers' executives suffer mental contamination in order to find the old realm connectors, it will be the end of the line. That's what Yanagisawa decided.

Yanagi Sawa was also interested in its resistance, the means of defense, but he mouthed out there and wasn't going to make any more sure. We know it will be more than a snake. When you switch your mind, display Akira's information again and check the contents again.

"... it gives me a little twist (twist), but it also does the backshield behind the Slam Street inmates, and there are fewer but opportunities to act with other hunters. In Serantarville, he's moving as part of a unit. Slam Street's feud is killing lovers and helping them. Even if they prefer individual behavior, they are also quite adapted to collective behavior. It doesn't even match Nergo's profiling. I knew it would come off."

Yanagisawa dramatically lowered his alert to Akira with it. Then erase Akira's information and display Katsuya's information again.

"... I knew it was this way?

Yanagisawa dramatically raised his guard against Katsuya.

When Yanagisawa returned his thought to the present, he projected information on Katsuya's troops into the air. The unit was very active in showing a rare (rare) collaboration after wearing the overall support enhancement clothing developed by the pilot. In the information section, it was stated that Inabe had solicited investment in the cost of site exploration from the pilot by smelling payment to the defense forces, along with publicity phrases that could describe the performance of the overall support enhancement clothing.

The Janagi Sawa who reads it accidentally zeros (spills) the little laugh.

"How far is it a coincidence? If it's all there, you're too blessed with oddity."

Yanagisawa made a comprehensive judgment based on information obtained from Nergo and information obtained by having his men closely (hiccups) monitor the katsuya, information pulled from the comprehensive support system deployed to the katsuya troops, etc., and determined that the katsuya was of extremely poor quality.

Raise your liking, impression and appreciation of yourself with the ability of the old realm connectors to send. Excellent appearance. The unity that comes from saving each other's lives in a dangerous wilderness. Expectations from others generated by high combat ability. At the same time as they further increase the rise width, such as the likes, the transmission capacity of the old area connector is concealed. Even normally competent hunters who are not former realm connectors can normally get along if they help each other with their lives. That makes the cover-up stronger.

On top of that, you break through the other person's authentication with increased positive impressions, positive emotions, and incorporate others into your own local network. As a result, unconscious information-sharing is carried out, and cooperation in troop actions and the like is dramatically improved. It also increases the sense of belonging to the population.

In addition, information transmission of the hierarchical structure causes the senses of the upper individual to flow downward. The confidence created by Katsuya's wisdom becomes infectious to the bottom and others fight without fear. Furthermore, collective consciousness in local networks obscures the separation between self and others. Even if the dead come out in battle, Katsuya is not dead, so she does not think she will die, and her fear of death is significantly reduced. As a result, a strong unit with an absolute chain of command can be created that is not afraid of death.

"Well, you're not fraternal, so you're biased in troop formation. Still enough influence. Drancam has largely been incorporated into your local network. Nergo wants you. If you become a Foundationalist, you can just throw it into the city and form a Foundationalist organization. And you probably have their support. They should be adapting their support to their peers via your local network. Speed of building your local network these days. The combat power of your troops. That explains it. Even if you weren't aware of it."

The smile disappears from the look on Yanagisawa's face, who had the usual smile on his face.

"Do you want to kill me right now?

Put aside the silence for a while, and Yanagi Sawa will continue to look the same.

"No, there's no certainty yet. And even so, you're not supposed to be exposed to them that I'm spying on Katsuya. Worth keeping alive and flushing. And tomorrow's ruins exploration. There..."

Put aside a temporary silence again, and now change it to a harsh look and continue.

"... may be available. If the extension of the rear line of contact proceeds, the way out over there should also change. We need fabric stones."

Yanagi Sawa takes out the black card and looks at it.

"I don't know how far it goes, but I should be able to. I bet he doesn't like those guys either. There must be a thread for negotiation. Dangerous, but worth the bet"

Yanagisawa tried to restore her expression to her normal smile in an attempt to dance (shima) the card. But I couldn't take the risk.

Akira is taking a bath (to) get fit for the next day's massive site exploration. I feel a little short because of the fact that I took a few baths at Cheryl's base, but I could only sleep later at home, so I was patient there.

"If I had gotten the cost of selling the old world automatic doll a little faster, I'd have had time to check my gear."

Purchasing new equipment at Sizka's store did not take long to pick up and find the site in time, so purchasing the new equipment was on hold. I am also thinking of giving Kibayashi additional funds in some cases. Kibayashi, who found out about the expensive transfer from the Hunter's Office, told me that the performance of the equipment would improve only as much as he put in the extra funds.

I laugh at Akira, who seems a little dissatisfied with Alpha in the bath with me as usual.

'I can't help it there. I prepared as much as I could in a short time. Let's think so.'

Large vehicles that had been sent out for repair came back gradually. It takes longer to repair due to a rather cruel (severe) damaged condition, but repairs are cheaper than replacing them. That explains why I dropped off the purchase of a new car.

High-performance armoured tiles are massively applied to the vehicle. It is not the type of vehicle that is magnificently shrouded and avoided. We prepared expensive armoured tiles at all costs so that they would not be broken.

I also bought ammunition, energy packs, etc. as much as I could at the Sizka store, and I also bought more recovery drugs from the snails. This time it's all at your own expense. As a supplement, it is a deal to buy the collected artifacts with a little color on the Inave. This included Inabe's circumstance that negotiations such as the amount of expendable items to be borne were first to find expensive artifacts.

'Sleep early today and prepare for tomorrow. You don't want to explore the ruins in a state of sleep?

"Okay. Well, the request is a request. I wasn't going to go to the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street for a while, but good luck."

'Akira. I'll pull you up as soon as I think you're in danger. Well, Elena and the others don't seem to be getting any requests, so we'll be fine, won't we?

Akira smiles back at the smile of some meaningful alpha.

"I'm sorry."

It is true that Akira thought of Elena and the others when Inabe said she was receiving a pleasant reply from Hunter in excess of Rank 40. Inabe suppressed Elena and the others to the point of smelling it from another direction, considering that it could be perceived as a threat to Akira. In other words, Akira was caught up in Inave's art of negotiating.

Akira went to bed as soon as she got out of the bath after a light chat with Alpha, as usual. I have no particular feelings for tomorrow. As usual.

The date changes and the sun rises. Katsuya, Inabe, and Yanagisawa were about to begin a ruin search where a large number of people would wager (for) their purpose.
