Chapter Thirteen. Free Nature

Rosetta's psychic ability is memory-like.

Even if he does not have the idea of ​​"remembering" in his subjective mind, his spiritual energy will automatically record all the information he sees, feels, and hears with his eyes, ears, and nose, regardless of whether it is meaningful or not.

This.

It also included the special aura of the 'corpse dog' that had injured him with its claws.

At this moment, when Rosetta obeyed her "feeling" and used spiritual power to sense the monsters hiding in the shadows of the old city.

He looked down upon the shadowy land of the city from above.

In those cold iron-like gray eyes, a cold emotion slowly flowed.

Immediately afterwards, just like the marks of the missions in the game, scarlet light spots lit up in his field of vision one after another, dazzlingly marking the location of the prey, with a sense of indifference and cruelty.

Perhaps, there is this inexplicable "gravity" in this world.

Obviously he did not deliberately pursue relevant clues, but he just followed Reiko Arakawa, and fate led him to the "stage" of the opening of the play by coincidence.

Rosetta is not stupid.

When he realized that there might be corpse dogs hidden in the old city, he quickly connected the relevant clues in his mind.

The gift given by Ishiizaki to Masao Tsukiyama was a batch of 'gospel medicine' with unknown effects, and the conversation between them vaguely revealed that the Divine Foot Club behind Ishii was carrying out operations in Aikawa City with the help of the acquired 'Razor Clam Pharmaceutical'

Information about a certain experiment.

If the incomplete memory he read with his spiritual power did not deceive him.

So under the premise that the Shenzuhui is indeed conducting some kind of experiment in Yichuan City, perhaps there is no more suitable place than an old city with vast resources, sparsely populated areas, numerous unfinished buildings, and marginalized people in society.

Experimental field'.

In the context of the era of bubble economy.

The land and houses in Yingzhou suddenly became worthless. Companies closed down, banks closed, stock prices plummeted, and real estate devalued... After these changes, what followed were crazy layoffs in major companies and a large number of unemployed people.

Living in society, they end up either queuing up on rooftops and jumping off buildings, or sleeping in groups in parks or on the streets.

This.

——This is the origin of these "residents" in the old city.

Because they are marginalized people who have been excluded from the social system, even if they are 'disappeared', not many people will notice.

it's here.

As long as the number of people who 'disappear' each time is controlled, Razor Clam Pharmaceuticals can arrest people for experiments and raise cadaver dogs.

The Yichuan City Police Department, which has always been "clean and self-sufficient", will never set foot in the old city, a "garbage dump" harboring dirt and evil, without any reason.

Snap.

A piece of gravel rolled down from the rooftop, fell into the night of the old city, and disappeared without a trace.

Rosetta could not hear the sound of it falling to the ground because the sound was drowned out by the howling wind.

He doesn't care about law and morality, and he lacks empathy for the plight of those in the old city who may have died at the hands of many corpse dogs.

But after leaving during the day, he returned to this old city when it got dark, which was probably the hiding place of the corpse dogs.

Rosetta's purpose is simple, that is, to eliminate threats within reach and to test whether her psychic powers can be used in battle.

Bathed in the strong wind from high above.

Fiddled with the black rosary beads that were already on her hands.

Silently, a strong urge to kill quietly grew in his heart.

But Rosetta, who had long noticed this side effect from her psychic contact, did not resist. Instead, she actively allowed the murderous impulse from the former owner of the rosary to flow into her empty heart.

"Since I got 'you' from Mr. Takeshita, I will help him clean up the 'garbage' near his house to repay the discount he gave me."

Muttering in a low voice, Rosetta used her psychic powers to synchronize with the remaining memory on this 'cursed object' for the first time.

Anyway, the corpse dogs have completely transformed into damn monsters, so why not use them as a stepping stone for him to improve his strength.

In the blink of an eye, as the iron-gray psychic lines gradually covered the rosary, at the same moment, the instinct-like killing skills of the last known owner of the rosary, a mad monk who fell into the lower realms during the Bakumatsu years, also temporarily disappeared.

It was written into Rosetta's body and controlled by him.

Ah.

The high-altitude cold wind on the rooftop blew by, bringing a chill that penetrated the bones.

Holding the rosary beads and clasping his hands together, his eyebrows lowered.

Silently, the corner of his mouth raised a smile that seemed to have never happened before.

Step into the night.

Tonight, Rosetta joins the hunt.

In the shadows of the city, obscure and ominous things stir.

Herding red-eyed dogs, a man named Toru Watanabe wears a yellow plastic raincoat and walks in the steel forest.

They are obviously people living in modern times, wearing the skin of civilization.

But in the modern city of Yichuan, his job is no different from that of the ancient forest guards who served the nobles and guarded their gardens and hunting grounds.

Herding the failed experiments for the Godly Foot Society is what he does every day. At the same time, he also works part-time as a 'scavenger' and a 'breeder', responsible for feeding the corpse dogs with the meat animals that are refreshed in the 'hunting ground' from time to time.

, and clean up the remaining food residues at the site where they ate.

Sometimes, Toru Watanabe would also have the idea of ​​asking for a salary increase.

After all, he works diligently and exceeds his target every day. It would be too much to not give him a salary increase.

Although he often complains like this in his heart, work is work, no matter how much he thinks about it. At this moment, in a low-cost apartment in the old city, Watanabe Tetsuya is still seriously controlling his cadaver dogs.

The last one in this home is pulled out of the closet and ready to be tackled.

Seeing the terrified look on the girl's face, he laughed and felt a happy emotion in his heart.

Sometimes, while working, Toru Watanabe would also wonder whether this kind of cruel pleasure is exactly the reward mechanism that human beings should have at the top of the food chain. It is just that most people are now civilized.

Suppressed by hypocrisy.

"That's why we must liberate our free nature."

As if reciting a 'spell', he murmured silently, waved his hand, and asked the corpse dogs to quickly take care of the few members of the family who were unfortunately selected as 'meat and food', and do a good job of storage, so that they could

Eat for a few more days.

Click.

That was the sound of a corpse dog biting its throat.

The girl's blood splashed onto the bright yellow plastic raincoat and dripped onto the floor that she had carefully wiped clean the day before.

Watanabe Toru bent down and wiped it with his fingers, put it in his mouth and sucked it to taste.

As a result, he got a kind of intoxication that was more mellow than drinking strong alcohol.

"This is really..."

"The ultimate beauty."

Although I have only been doing this work for a few months.

But Toru Watanabe felt that he had adapted to this kind of life and was gradually becoming the kind of "real living human being" that Mr. Ishii said.
