Chapter 167 – Awareness (2)
# # #
Among the executives of Majinsa, there are several people who occupy high positions in society.
It was a rumor, but it was nothing short of true.
In the case of trading at the exchange inside Margin Company, the courier had to be sent within 24 hours, and after sending a specific code used only by Margin Company members, the rough shape of the contents must be confirmed by the courier company’s scanner within 48 hours. .
In this process, it was very difficult to commit fraud because the transaction was automatically canceled if there was a problem, and if the history of transaction cancellation accumulated, there were disadvantages to the activity.
There is also a saying that if you are confirmed as a cheater, the points you have will change to -5 million points.
Therefore, except for special cases, transactions should be conducted only when conscientiously possessing the real thing.
As soon as I got Rapid’s hair, I uploaded all of them to the exchange and in less than 5 minutes I confirmed that all of them were traded and checked the buyer’s purchase review message.
The exact same sentence as the last buyer was written.
It seems that the same person as before bought all of Rapid’s hair.
Thanks to this, I was able to quickly obtain a large amount of points, so I immediately posted a question on the question board.
Don’t be too explicit, but write something that will catch the eye of someone you know.
[I don’t think it was like this before the raid, but people are kind of weird… It seems odd, especially when you see a magical girl. Does anyone know the reason for this?]
It’s a text that you can’t understand at all what you’re talking about just by looking at the contents, and it’s hard to know what’s strange, what’s the problem, and what you want to know.
If you post it like this, no one will pay attention and it will be considered nonsense.
After writing a short article, I bet an amount of points on the question that would be enough for a month’s living expenses.
Points can be earned at any time with Rapid’s hair anyway.
Among the questions, my post, which had a ridiculous point on it, quickly filled the number of views and was exposed on the list of most viewed posts.
Naturally, many comments started running on the post.
But no matter how much I looked at the comments, I couldn’t find what I was looking for.
Most of them just think that it is an aggro article played by rich people.
I will answer with sincerity, so I see some people asking for more detailed questions, but the fact that they don’t understand my writing right away means they don’t know.
Magical girls don’t know that people are strange.
And people, too, don’t know that other people are strange…
… First of all, it’s just a post, so I guess I’ll have to wait until more comments accumulate.
Maybe at least one person feels the same as me.
After posting the article, I organized my thoughts and looked at the articles inside the site.
The searched articles are research records related to negatives.
After finding the article I wanted, I paid reading points and read the article slowly.
[About the linkage between the infected and the monsters
Why doesn’t the Negative Monster attack the Infected? I have a question about it, so I write it down.
To put it simply, an infected means a creature that is literally infected by a negative.
Here, this infection means that the cells of the negative accumulate in the body and break through a certain amount, and the moment a specific code is connected to the host, it soars up to the brain and gradually takes over and destroys various organs. It becomes like an insect whose brain has been taken over.
After that, it becomes possible to connect wavelengths by forming a web cell, one of the organs unique to negatives.
Through this, communication between different species is possible, and in fact, a mutation as a different species called ‘infectious’ occurs. .]
The excessive use of unknown words written down as if only those in the know can understand it harms the readability of the writing.
… It’s a somewhat familiar format.
The author of the article… As expected, this time it was the 2nd Doctor.
The lower you go, the larger the amount of unrecognizable words, making the text unreadable.
I read the unkind text and caught only the contents I could understand, and tried to understand it by matching it with my current situation as much as possible.
As I kept reading and thinking, I came across some unusual articles.
[Synapse-related research on sensory expansion in ordinary people who have experienced magic
All those exposed to magic describe the touch of magic as feeling a tickling sensation on their skin.
To be precise, it could be said that this was not the feeling of magic power, but the feeling of the air pushed by magic power… Some women say that ‘magical power made their sense of touch sharp’ or ‘something filled the bottom of the blood vessels, making them swell and opened and passed through’.
This shows the possibility of awakening as a magical girl who can use magic, and it can be said that it does not happen to men…]
[The Defense Force that controls magical girls
Crystal equipment, which can be said to be the best weapon for a magical girl, is made by processing magical girl’s body parts and magic with nanotechnology, and shows high rigidity and elasticity, as well as the highest magical conductivity suitable for that magical girl.
In addition, it is said that it is tailored to the magic phenomenon and magic used by magical girls, so that it shows greater strength when using specific magic, or has resistance to being destroyed by magic of the same nature, making it possible to create weapons and armor that magical girls dream of. .
This is why many magical girls pay a lot of money to ask the Defense Force for crystal equipment production, or to receive a loan exclusively for magical girls that exists in the Defense Force.
Because of this, a magical girl who received a crystal weapon can quickly hit the top, but is tied to the defense force even more.
A magical girl who is not like that stays in her lower ranks for a long time, and it is difficult to protect her own body by herself.
This absurd structure, in which it is difficult to develop proper power without being tied to the National Guard unless it is really a small number of magical girls, is in fact a magical girl enslaved…]
[Social brainwashing and oppression
In a closed space, people sincerely believe in one absolute.
This is a phenomenon in which common sense is rewritten by oneself, not because the person is stupid, but because it is natural that the target is absolute for everyone.
Since humans are social animals in the first place, they all have blood-dominant tendencies, and recognizing the absolute as the absolute through the process of educating them so that they are easily dominated by the opinions of others is using their basic organs and designs.
Because of this, people believe that the protection of a powerful magical girl named Ash and Rapid is absolute in a wrong society that says they are all forcibly closed by negatives, and continue to recognize this through broadcasting, and the idea that it is safe not to be with the infectious agent. We are brainwashed to have it, but this is not true.
Salvation, which is said in the recently popular religion, is that you can be reborn as a new human being by accepting the infection yourself and being with the monster.
All of those who joined the new religion, ‘New Wave’, working together with the flow of the world, all indulged in the pleasures of humans while being faithful to the natural pleasures of humans, enjoying the paradise that descended to the present world. There is, and the stigma of being a pseudo is nothing more than a one-sided criticism from the upper classes of society who are envious of it.
People are wrongly brainwashed by society that monsters are bad…]
[Record Octoplasma, sensory-capturing mini-tentacle monster
Octoplasma, a special monster that is currently in a state of extinction due to the monster infection incident, is unusual in that it usually has a form, but after invading through the mouth, it settles in the brain and melts like a liquid, twisting into the brain to take over people. It is a monster that gradually absorbs language, personality, and knowledge and works while imitating people. People who are possessed by this monster are said to be unable to speak well.
However, it was only processed through processes such as projecting magical girl magic into her brain and disinfecting before it was completely taken over, and it was not observed. With a little more time, it is expected that it will completely take over humans.
Unusually, this monster figured out that if he entered a magical girl, he would die within a certain period of time, and stimulated the magical girl’s brain to induce shameful and embarrassing behavior… For this reason, it is known as a terrifying monster that causes lower-ranking magical girls to engage in unintended sexual acts at one time and completely incapacitates them when linked with other monsters. …]
“Hmm…”
There is no written article that clearly organizes the information I want, but… You can look at various articles and infer what you want.
I was deceived by the title and read the propaganda of the pseudo-religion and the protest against the National Guard, but the other articles were interesting.
Monster infection, control, sensory expansion…
I lowered my gaze and looked down at the back of my left hand.
The veins on the back of the hand swell at will.
… The tentacles on his left hand feel more like symbiosis than infection.
I don’t feel anything trying to take over or harm me.
Rather, it seems that the condition was worse when it was not there.
Then… Are you saying that the tentacles escaped the infection?
… It makes sense
Formulate a hypothesis
Everyone else is infected, and I am also infected.
Recovers from infection after Esther’s tentacle is implanted.
Because of that, people can feel strange.
But then what the hell are you infected with?
When… ?
Why doesn’t the magical girl feel that people are infected?
The tentacles in my hands are negative.
A sense that only negative can know…
Ability to connect… Dr. 2’s writing…
Esther told me that as long as this tentacle was stuck in, I wouldn’t be attacked by other negatives.
In other words, these tentacles can communicate with other negatives… It may have a built-in feature.
Is that why you can feel other people’s infections?
But if people are infected, why… Aren’t you going to be dragged into an overhaul?
Why doesn’t it do something specific to the Infestation?
A magical girl might be able to detect the infestation, but why doesn’t she notice?
Are magical girls infected too?
Since when did people become like this… ?
Looking back, I have no idea.
From the moment the magical girl appeared?
Or, from the moment the negative appeared… ?
From the moment the tentacles were planted on Esther, I felt the abnormality around me.
Esther, then, is not infected?
Does Esther know that other people are going crazy?
“Whoa…”
I stopped thinking, sighed, and pushed back my chair.
I feel limited in thinking alone.
I’ve been looking around, but I can’t find an answer that I’m looking for.
In the end, it’s the same as before thinking.
There is no answer due to lack of information.
Only speculation continues, and questions only lead to other questions.
I can’t figure out what’s wrong with myself.
Neither Grape nor Rapid know of this strange sensation I am feeling.
Then… Esther…
Esther might know something.
It’s not just Esther.
Dr. 2, who writes the most diverse knowledge in Majinsa… Maybe you know something
But there is no way for me to talk to the 2nd Doctor.
Doctor 2 is probably the person with the most points in Majinsa.
Giving points and asking questions does not work.
Also… It is an unreliable opponent.
I can hypnotize magical girls, so if the other person is a magical girl, I can trust them.
Even if it is an untrustworthy opponent, it has the power to make it trustworthy.
However, the 2nd Doctor is not a magical girl.
Inside the site, rumors are circulating that Dr. 2 is one of the key researchers inside the Defense Force.
If you ask a question and something goes wrong and you get arrested… It’s a big deal.
You cannot ask questions to the 2nd Doctor.
All that’s left is Esther… What should I do to meet Esther?
Unlike Rapid, Esther doesn’t have a vision phone, and she’s somewhere else beyond the dimensional door.
When the alarm rings that Esther has appeared, he has no choice but to run to the location.
“… Good.”
After organizing my thoughts, I turned off my laptop and immediately started wrapping Rapid’s hair in a black envelope to deliver the sold products.
Because all products were bought by one person, it did not take long to pack them.
While I was packing the individually wrapped hairs in a zipper bag, I suddenly thought of taking out a hair and sniffing it.
… Strangely, I don’t feel anything.
After meeting Rapid in person, did I become a body that couldn’t be satisfied with hair like this…
After thinking for a while, I also took out Rapid’s hair, which I had kept for personal use, from the drawer and packed it together.
