Chapter 277 – Negotiation (6)
# # #
After X entered dormancy, I slowly looked inside the closed laboratory.
The power plant was definitely destroyed, and everything else was… Properly broken.
As the power plant was destroyed, it was possible to properly check the state of destruction thanks to the fact that there were places where the press machine that closed the compartment was overworked, and there were some places that were broken.
Only then did I feel relieved and remember that the clothes were strange, so I checked the map to see if there was a dressing room, but it was already destroyed.
Arriving on the first floor reluctantly dressed like a pervert with a white gown wrapped around my waist, I boarded a self-driving vehicle that had been prepared in advance.
Before boarding, I opened the underside of the car, the bonnet, the trunk… I opened it here and there, but I didn’t see anything like a bomb.
The vehicle started moving on its own as soon as I got in, moved to an unknown tunnel, continued to run, and at some point cut into an ordinary lane.
With my hand on the doorknob, ready to jump at any moment, I slowly relaxed at the familiar scenery outside the window.
I sighed and closed my eyes.
“Whoa…”
After coming to a place where there are many people, I feel more and more relieved.
I confirmed that the laboratory was destroyed, and they sent me out properly.
They said that the dormancy would end in 3 days, so if you contact them and do something, just take Esther with you as X said…
For now, I think it’s okay to trust X.
The morning sun outside the window warms my body and leads me to sleep.
Finished.
Exhausted…
A day…A day, right?
I feel tired as if I haven’t slept for days.
So many things happened in one day.
Kidnapped by Riff… Called Esther to get out, Ash…
I shuddered, feeling a blur of pain in my wrists, feet, chest, and eyes.
Sensitive nerves, tension subsided, only questions remain.
The pouring sleep is pushed back by the pain of having your arm cut off.
Questions that have been put off in my head for a while come to mind one after another in a situation that is constantly driving.
I closed my eyes and was lost in thought.
It is necessary to organize a situation that is only confusing, a little bit of a complicated head.
…The reason Leaf suddenly came to visit me was because I was too careless.
I thought I was being careful, but traces were left here and there, and Riff made me come.
However, I didn’t know that I used a hypnosis app…
The most questionable thing is, what the hell is a hypnosis app?
Leaf, who did not originally intend to kill me, decided to kill me while figuring out the identity of the hypnosis application.
What is the identity of the hypnosis app and why does it happen?
Did you figure out the identity of my hypnosis app and thought you had to kill me, or did you think it was okay to kill me because I became less important after finding out the identity of the hypnosis app?
Looking at the reaction, I think it’s closer to the latter.
Then…My need is to be able to get Rapid’s hair constantly…
What I was trying to do with Rapid’s hair was to make a crystal…Crystal…Grape’s crystal weapon, X’s body…
Did he try to kill me because he no longer needed to make crystals out of Rapid’s hair… ?
What the hell were you trying to do with the crystal…
I can not know.
What the hypnosis application is, what the crystal is, and what Leaf was trying to do… These are questions that can only be known after the Leaf comes back to life.
…If the riff plays properly, I’ll use a hypnosis app to interrogate it.
If the leaf comes alive, it’s good to be able to ask questions, and if it doesn’t come alive, it’s good to be able to remove the risk factor.
Either way, I’m left with nothing but gain.
However, X also said that the possibility of regeneration is low… For now, I think it’s better to think about not regenerating.
…If a riff fails to play, X is automatically deleted after one month.
Web cell removal, hypnosis support, CCTV records removal…
It’s a waste of service to finish in one month.
I feel even more regretful because I think it will be of great help to my current situation.
Even if he had no choice but to live, he revealed a little bit of his relationship with Rapid to Ash and came under Ash’s guard, so he needs to be much more secretive than before.
Seeing that he didn’t kill him because he was a friend of Rapid, even if he killed him if he touched him, if he was really in a relationship, he wouldn’t be able to do anything… Maybe, that’s how it should be.
…Rapid would not do anything strange if he said that he wanted to be in a romantic relationship with me.
As I first thought, that was the only answer to safe sex with Rapid.
I think it would be nice to have a relationship with Rapid in a month supported by X.
By the way… Ash…
What was it?
Why did Ash come to kill Leaf…
Leaf was trying to talk to Ash as if he knew what he wanted and that she could make it happen.
Ash didn’t listen to it properly and killed it.
It was a ruthless and cold attack that did not deserve to be heard, and was clearly hostile.
Have you ever had anything happen to Riff?
After that, he didn’t know about the relationship with Rapid or about the hypnosis app… He tried to kill me.
Seeing the tentacles on my left hand, I thought it was a test subject, but they didn’t seem to care much about my tentacles.
The test subject means that Leaf experimented with planting tentacles in humans… ?
Did he kill Riff then because he knew he was conducting such an experiment?
If so, they thought I was a test subject and tried to kill me.
I don’t know what the test subject is… Ash said he hates negatives terribly… If a monster is planted in a person’s body, can it be killed…
Because Ash is fighting the magical girl Negative… Killing the scientist who conducts synthetic experiments between humans and Negatives that the people of the Kaiju Cult would like…Isn’t it natural…
But then why did she kill other magical girls as well?
Esther…Ash replied that she had killed not only Leaf, but also other magical girls.
Rusty, Maria… I don’t know about Parawell and Kirin, but Rusty is a famous magical girl who was evaluated as being at the top and Maria being considered to be at the top.
Rusty is an iron magical girl who handles metal, and Maria is corrosion… There is no particular point of contact between the two.
Both were popular and were magical girls with good results.
If Ash is secretly killing magical girls with some intention, then the reason he tried to kill me is because he was caught killing magical girls.
If so, what is the reason?
…I don’t know.
There’s no way I could know what Esther, who was supposed to be close to Ash, didn’t know, just by thinking about it alone.
Rapid didn’t seem to know what Ash was doing either.
Don’t try to find out and provoke Ash, just think about what you need.
My goal is to have sex with Rapid, not to find out what Ash is doing behind her back.
Ash secretly becomes Rapid’s boyfriend.
That’s enough.
From Ash’s point of view, I’m no different from a negative who wants to have sex even though I know it will slow Rapid’s growth.
No, it’s a grade 4 negative, so a negative is correct.
If Leaf tries to kill me, Esther can do something about it, but Ash can’t bring Grape and Esther together.
You just have to be careful not to be noticed.
With the support of X, let’s hypnotize quickly and carefully.
Just think about having sex with Rapid.
[You have arrived at your destination.]
The moment I finished thinking, the self-driving car stopped near my one-room apartment.
After cleaning up my confused mind, I got out of the car with a lighter mind.
As soon as I got out of the self-driving car, it quickly disappeared as if I didn’t want to see it anymore.
I walked back home alone in the opposite direction among people walking to work.
The upper body is exposed and the gown is wrapped around the waist, so you can feel the stinging eyes of the people around you.
Ignoring their gaze and walking confidently, I heard annoyed voices from the people around me.
“Haaaaa) uh, sleepy.”
“Fire alarms are really loud…”
“Uh, honey…Yeah, okay, I’m going to buy a multi-tap that won’t short-circuit today…Yeah, let’s clean together when we go home today…Okay, okay, so let’s go…”
It seemed that there was a fire somewhere in the apartment.
An alarm sounded due to a fire that occurred during the early morning, and all the residents must have woken up early, and disgruntled voices were leaking out from here and there.
A fire in this day and age…Even a fire at dawn.
Am I an idiot who sleeps with the induction on, or no… I’m a lazy person who didn’t clean the power strip enough to collect dust when I heard about short circuit fires and power strips.
Whoever he is, he is a nuisance to his neighbors.
He must be too lazy to even wear clothes properly.
“… Her?”
Arriving at the front door with such thoughts in mind, I froze at the sight that appeared before my eyes.
In front of my house, which should have been a comfortable space, my wet things were put out, and a notice for eviction that seemed to have been written by the landlord was attached to the front door.
On the additional note attached to the notice, problems with fire, damage to the interior of the building, overdue rent, and regulations on forced eviction and non-refundable deposit were printed in the contract.
“Eh?”
When I came back after demolishing another house, my house was missing.
