Midorito Rie looked out the window. Just as the announcement of the arrival in Ota ended, the world outside suddenly thundered and lightning struck, and heavy rain poured down.
In the brief bright world after the lightning, it can be seen that the earth is covered with huge round stones, like the remains of meteorites that fell from the sky tens of thousands of years ago.
Several black dragon-shaped creatures with bat-like wings soared between the lightning and clouds, leaving blurry shadows in mid-air.
This scene gave green friend Rie Hui the illusion that just a few seconds after the announcement sounded, the train traveled through time and space and entered another strange space.
A sense of fear from the soul rose from the soles of Midori Rie's feet. She felt the familiar aura of rules, like the notes jumping out of the piano keys, happily flowing out from the surface of her skin.
"What is flying in the sky,"
The radio at hand was playing "Midnight Talk", and Mamoru Yoshida's familiar voice made her uneasy:
"It is the bat-winged black dragon from the Boulder Wilderness. Some races in the upper interface like to call them weird hunters. This is not a deserved name. They are always full of weird and rules-filled boulder wilderness.
And they feed on the raw night mushrooms... For example, the night mushrooms are their ration to solve the famine, and the weird ones are a delicious feast that makes them salivate.
The bat-winged black dragons that Midori saw in front of him were not of a high level. They could only eat monsters below A level. But for Midori, this was deadly enough..."
The progress of the broadcast was slightly faster than what Midori Riehui saw in the carriage, which was not very helpful for Midori Riehui to get out of the current predicament.
After receiving Yoshida Mamoru's letter this morning, Midori Rie knew that she would inevitably be involved in a life and death test - the humans in this world call existences like her and Yoshida Mamoru monstrosities, but the monstrosities themselves have their own differences.
Have insights.
For example, Green Friends Toshiro believes that he is a rule-oriented human being, that is, a human being who relies on rules or must implement rules.
From the day Midorito Rie became conscious, she has existed for a long, long time, so long that she has forgotten how she was born in this world.
She knew that she already had a shallow consciousness, but she still couldn't act entirely based on consciousness, and had to rely more on rules.
She will only talk to humans unless allowed by the rules. For example, if someone buys a figure she designed online, she can introduce the product to them and bargain with them. Otherwise, she is almost mute.
Every active conversation with humans will be at the expense of the weakening of the power of the rules. And the weakening of the rules means that the consciousness she accidentally acquired will also be gradually lost.
Until one day, she heard Mamoru Yoshida's broadcast, and then discovered that Mamoru Yoshida's rules were very flexible. Within the framework of the opponent's rules, she could not only get rid of the monotonous cycle of figure design every day, but also listen to the radio and try out
Write a letter to the other party without having to pay the price of a reduction in the power of the rules.
As a result, things evolved step by step to where they are today - Mamoru Yoshida wrote her into tonight's story.
This also means that tonight, under the influence of Yoshida Mamoru's rules, Midorito Rie will try to break free from the strictest rule that restrains her - it is forbidden to leave Lidu. Yoshida Mamoru is also bound by this - he
Banned from leaving Dongdu.
From the day Midori Rie was born, the rules prohibiting leaving Lido City were engraved in her soul. If the rules were broken, the aura of rules in her body would leak out, attracting grotesque hunters to open up the boulder wasteland and
The passage to this world...
This is both a hunt and a transformation. If it can escape from the hunter, the green friend Rie may have a new life.
"What Midori Rie will face will be a terrifying monster that she has never faced in her life..."
"Midnight Talk" was still playing on the radio, and Mamoru Yoshida's voice disgusted Midori Rie.
She knew that Mamoru Yoshida, who could control people's weird behaviors through radio, had opened up his self-awareness just like her, and she knew that the other person's writing of herself into tonight's story was definitely not out of what humans call absurd love, but a battle about breaking through weird rules.
The experiment of confinement——
Due to the long period of correspondence, Midorito Rie's letters have become part of Yoshida Mamoru's weird rules, and even Midorito Rie himself is extremely susceptible to the influence of the other party's rules.
Taking advantage of this, Yoshida Mamoru lured the green friend Rie out of Lidu, just to see if the weird breakthrough of the strictest rules could really attract the weird hunter, and then to see if she could escape the weird hunter.
Hunt.
Yoshida Mamoru never planned to find ways to open up the space passage between the studio and the train and rescue Midorito Rie as he did in his final revised story. He just wanted to lift the constraints imposed on him by the rules. But this is not Midorito Rie.
What about the opportunity for Nirvana and rebirth?
"call--"
When Midori Rie stood up from her original seat, walked to the writer and guests, and sat across from them, the bat-winged black dragon flying in the night sky had already smelled the aura of rules emanating from her skin, and locked onto this place.
With the ultimate goal of the journey, they rushed towards the train.
The way green friend Rihui survives the difficulties of life and death is incredible——
"You two," she asked the writers and guests, "are the only ones who can fall in love with me right away and win my love."
The writer kissed her on the spot.
The moment his friend Rie finished saying the word love, with his sensitivity as a writer to love, absurdity, taboos and poetry, he felt the sincerity and passion of the other party's desire for love, and at the same time he also realized that this was an escape for himself and the guests.
The only way out, so without hesitation, he stood up and came to Midorito Rie's side, and met her lips without any pretense.
When several bat-winged black dragons eager to feast swooped out of the carriage window and were about to break it in, they were surprised to find that their prey, which originally exuded a faint aura of creative rules, was tightly surrounded by the aura of love.
Love is a stupid hormone that only exists between ordinary humans.
The grotesque hunters felt bored for a moment. After circling the train for several times, they discovered that another wave of grotesques in the carriage was caught in the cracks of time and space and protected by higher-order rules, so they left without looking back.
went.
Not far away, the director who was directing Nobuhiko Kumada to follow up Midori Rie, who had just stood up suddenly, was stunned by this scene, and the words that Lido investigators often said recently echoed in his head -
