Chương 143: Chapter 33:”Something is Wrong with This World”

I"let go" of my hand. A desperate situation. If I climb, I'll be killed by Lilna. If I fall honestly, I'll die too. But when I resolved to use 【Rebellion】 prepared for death. I remembered at this last moment. There was only one way. A way to turn the tables, surviving while making those two think I fell and died." Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa———————————————————————!" While falling, I continue to scream like that. It's acting. Eventually, when Lilna and Plato looked away.

Chance! Thinking so, I desperately pulled Ryuto with my remaining right hand. And held him in my arm so as never to let go. And transform into a Woman. To completely erase the life reaction so that the two won't find out I'm alive. The ground was already approaching close. At this rate, crash and end. I won't let that happen. What I use is 【Rebellion】. That doesn't change. However, I won't use 《Tolerance Limit Break》 which surely invites death by recoil. I'll use another way with less burden.

It's regrettable that the 『World of Heart』 is already in a quite disturbed state but... If I don't do it, I'll die anyway! Just for a very short time, it should be okay to use! Please! Let me be safe! 【Rebellion】 《Anti-Gravity Effect》! Instantly, the fierce wind hitting my whole body softens. The speed of the fall visibly decreased. This will work! Releasing the ability in a second before self-destructing by recoil. In a posture holding Ryuto on top. I was slammed onto the ground from my back.

"Au...!" Receiving an impact enough to stop breathing. But my body somehow survived safely. Ryuto in my arm is also still alive. Saved by remembering. Lenks. Peeking at the surroundings while lying down. Buildings that seemed to be ridiculously huge factories were crowded here and there. Fortunately, no human figure is found nearby. Immediately leave here, hide somewhere— Ah... When I tried to stand up, my body staggered. Me collapsing. Strength is gradually draining. Why—. When I looked at my Lost Left Arm.

I noticed blood was flowing out bota-bota from the cut end. Oops. Did the effect of forcibly stopping bleeding with Qi disappear because I became a woman? Blood is spilling again. Have to do something right now. I'll die of blood loss. Vision is blurring, feeling like in a dream. Wanting to surrender as it is and sleep—. No! Hitting my dizzy head hard gatsun to cut off the temptation of death. Dangerous. Consciousness almost flew. Must hold on. If I lose consciousness here, it's really the end!

I took off the employee's jacket, which was already tattered in the battle, and threw it away on the spot. Then, tear the shirt worn underneath into a long strip, leaving only the part above the middle of the chest. To use as a substitute for a bandage. Holding one end of the fabric made in this way in my mouth. Holding the other end with my right hand, placing it at the base of the left arm. Using mouth and right hand skillfully. Winding it tightly to stop blood at the root, tightening it.

And finally tying it tightly kyu-tto. With this, bleeding stopped for the time being but... Lost too much blood. If I relax even a little, consciousness seems to fly. Putting spirit, raising my body this time for sure. Dragging my staggering body together with Ryuto, hiding in a nearby shadow. Turning my arm, sitting down in a form holding him from behind. With faint breath, my chest was heaving frequently. While adjusting breathing slowly.

Maintaining consciousness that sometimes seems to be lost fura-tto with guts. Observing the surroundings. Apparently, this seems to be inside the Central Processing Plant. I fell to the center from a route like a cheat from directly above. I'm very curious about what's inside, but... Escape is the top priority now. Both I and Ryuto are in danger if not treated. If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. But in such a state where I can't move properly.

Having lost the radio and weapon along with the waist pouch. How can we get out of here. Have to think of some way. If we dally, it will be exposed that we are still alive. It was when I tried to think of a concrete escape means. From afar, a shouting male voice was heard.

"Stop! I don't want to die yet!" What happened. Curious, I decided to leave Ryuto there and go see the situation.

"Sorry. I'll go take a look for a bit." Heading towards the direction of the voice inconspicuously. What was reflected in my eyes was the figure of a Natura bound tightly with locks. He was put on a Belt Conveyor and was being flowed little by little. In the back, something like a Press Machine is visible! Two male workers were monitoring him on the side. Both have guns firmly equipped on their waists. I want to go help, but I absolutely couldn't move here.

Going in the current state where I can't fight, I'll just die in vain. Suppressing myself gu-tto, I had no choice but to watch the situation silently." Abnormal Units have no right to live."

"What is abnormal! I am normal! You guys are the ones who have become strange!" The workers laugh at the shouting man through their noses.

"Hey hey. Wondering what you would say."

"We are Standard Natura."

"Before! It shouldn't have been like this before! Even if broken, disposing immediately! Or becoming so bad with Humite guys!" Not like this before...? What Remi said once passes through my mind suddenly. 『Somehow in the old days, it seems it wasn't this bad. Before anyone knew it, everyone came to think that it's natural for Humites to be killed. 』 Right. Certainly Remi said so.

"Was it different before?"

"Was it?" The workers also seem to have some idea. Tilting their heads without laughing this time.

"That's right! Everyone is being made strange! Central Factory! Everyone is made strange there and comes back!" Made strange at the Central Factory and comes back!? First time hearing it.

"Hey. What does that mean."

"Maybe we should ask about the circumstances a little?" Agitation runs through the workers too. One tried to stop the belt conveyor once and put his hand on the switch, but—. There, for some reason, his arm stopped abruptly. For a while, a strange silence wraps the place. And the two workers told the captured man together."" You knew too much."" Although faces are not visible due to the angle. It was clearly heterogeneous voices with no emotion. What!? What on earth suddenly!?

The eyes of the captured man are wrapped in the color of despair.

"Damn it! You guys too! No! I don't want to die! Help meeeeeee—!" His sorrowful scream was transmitted vividly together with emotion through the 『World of Heart』. Tightening my chest gyu-tto. I want to help. If only I weren't in such a dying state...! While conflicted, he is flowed more and more and—." Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—————————!" The sound of the press machine crushing his body bari-bari was heard. I couldn't watch it. I turned my eyes away and decided to return to where Ryuto was. As I thought.

On the way back, doubt was changing into conviction within me. This world, something is wrong. That became clear now. Every time I investigate this world. Every time I interact with Natura and Humites. The sense of discomfort has been strengthening little by little. I didn't feel refreshed somehow. First, the covered history. What happened before 2, 000 years ago. Why is that important part left unknown like a blank sheet?

They say there was a big nuclear war, but civilization didn't disappear completely in that war, so some documents should remain. Second, the reason why Natura were created. In the end, one of the causes that made the confrontation between Humite and Natura decisive is that too high intelligence and learning functions were given to Natura who were originally just reconstruction work robots. Normally, there is no way not to notice that possibility at the design stage.

Still daring to do so, isn't it because they wanted to do something else using Natura? Third, why all Natura. Who look like ordinary citizens as long as observing daily life. Hold strong killing intent only towards Humites without exception. Even if there are some exceptions, it shouldn't be strange. But everyone, even those who have no direct damage from Humites, bared hostility. To be clear, it's abnormal.

On the other hand, although there are individual differences, Chilions could get along with Humites without problems. This clear difference cannot be dismissed simply as a matter of individual differences. Fourth, the reason for disposing of non-standard Natura like Humites, just like now. As that man said, if something is being done at the Central Factory—. Those two workers suddenly behaved strangely. Like real machines, becoming inorganic. But it's not the first time I've seen such a sudden change. Lilna too.

When I asked her about the circumstances in the prison, it was particularly strange. Why did her state suddenly become strange there? In the flow of that conversation, there should have been no reason for her to hesitate to say the circumstances. Rather, the intention to tell was felt from her until then. Yet, why suddenly—. There, I noticed something decisively strange. No. No no. Wait. Strange. It's strange. 『There is nothing to tell you, an Outsider (Yoso-mono). 』 Right. She certainly said so. Why.

Why does she know that I am an "Outsider"!? Even though I didn't say a word about such a thing! What should be said in that scene is"You, a Humite" or"You, an Enemy", right!? Thinking about it. That word doesn't seem like she herself said it at all. Calm as if the agitation until then was a lie. Right. As if her heart was switched in an instant—. No way—! When I realized that possibility, I was stunned. If the current Natura are not in their original natural state.

If memories and emotions are guided to regard Humites as enemies by some means. Including Lilna. It's a crazy story. But. But this explains a considerable part. Natura are machine humans. Incorporating a mechanism to guide memories and emotions somewhere is far easier than brainwashing humans. Natura whose guidance is not working well for some reason become subject to disposal as"Heretics". Because they are hindrances to the conflict. And if this hypothesis is correct—. Too terrible!

The confrontation between Natura and Humite changes its meaning completely from ordinary conflicts. Because this means it was set up intentionally! Is there someone somewhere drawing such a terrible picture—inciting confrontation between both sides to crush each other!? The man sacrificed just now realized this possibility. So he was erased. As a "Heretic"—. I felt a sensation of chills down my spine. I wonder how many people are aware of this terrifying possibility now. Natura themselves definitely don't notice.

They wouldn't dream that they are being manipulated. People of Lunatope probably know almost nothing either. Because they don't know, they are fighting for their rights purely and desperately like that. Concluding that Natura are enemies because they direct hostility towards themselves. Suddenly everything seemed suspicious. About history too. Is it really correct as described here? That is merely information on the Natura side.

There is a possibility that historical recognition is completely different between Humite and Natura. Something is behind this after all. Must survive. Must live and investigate. The truth hidden in this world—!
