[Subject No. E1409A1]
[Date: 08.1.17]
[Submitted by: Researcher A (Status: Missing)]
[Reviewer: Supervisor (Status: Confirmed Dead)]
[Project: Reset]
Ye Yueshen looked at the report blankly.
Where is this?
who is he?
Why did we go back to the past?
[Although our pain value is -99%, we should not miss any opportunity to increase it——] The system encouraged.
Hazuki Shin: [……]
Ye Yueshen's eyes darkened: [But I still don't know what's going on here.]
What if the performance fails?
"Are there no results yet for 1409A1's memory reset?" The supervisor frowned, holding up the test report. "Check the memory reset equipment. Is there something wrong?"
Experimenter A hesitated. "The results just came out. There's no malfunction."
"There's something wrong with Subject 1409A1's memory..."
"What's the problem?"
"He would curse people for no apparent reason."
manager:? ?
Subject 1409A1, or Himuro Hayato.
At this moment, he was sitting in the isolation room, looking calmly ahead. The walls of the isolation room were made of special glass, and a large number of experimenters were observing him from the other side.
The supervisor observed for a moment, but didn't see any clues from Hayato Himuro.
He glanced at Experimenter A: "Let him curse."
Experimenter A knocked on the glass: "1409A1, look here."
The man sitting in the isolation room slowly turned his head.
The appearance of this experimental subject is almost exactly the same as that of a human, with short black hair and red eyes.
When his eyes met Experimenter A, he paused slightly.
"Repeat what you just said to me."
Himuro Hayato said, "Your beard is ugly."
The words came out easily through the loudspeaker.
Suddenly, there were many exclamations outside the isolation room, and the experimenters looked at him curiously.
The supervisor frowned slightly. "Did they miss the language module during the reset?"
Experimenter A: "I checked, nothing is missing."
"Reset it again."
"OK."
Hayato Himuro's memory was reset again.
Experimenter A was recording the situation. He asked, "How do you feel now?"
Himuro Hayato replied: "You really want to know the answer from me?"
The subject didn't seem to have any emotion, but what he said shocked the experimenter: "What did you say?"
"You can clearly see my feelings," the subject said. "It's all in the notebook in your hand."
The experimenter looked at him in horror and turned to look for his supervisor.
This time the laboratory gave him a full set of examinations, checking each module one by one.
No problem.
Experimenter A: "What the hell..."
The supervisor looked at Himuro Hayato, who had quieted down, and ordered, "Continue the reset."
This time, the supervisor personally followed up on the entire progress.
This time, experimenter A was not scolded or treated sarcasticly.
Because the person being scolded becomes the supervisor.
"Take your gaze away," Himuro Hayato said. "You should look in the mirror first."
manager:"……"
Good, good aggressiveness.
Is this still 1409A1? He remembered that this experimental subject was not like this before!
The supervisor reported the problem and decided to continue resetting Hayato Himuro.
The fourth reset——
"Do you like being locked up? Otherwise, why are you in this room 24 hours a day?"
The fifth reset——
"Did you taste the poison before giving it to me? It tastes terrible."
The Sixth Reset——
"you……"
"Stop, stop, stop." The supervisor couldn't stand the fact that the subject would taunt him every time he opened his eyes.
He glanced at his superior, who hadn't replied yet, and ordered, "Silence him."
Himuro Hayato has been muted.
He blinked and looked at the supervisor intently.
The supervisor ignored his gaze and turned to talk to Experimenter A: "Keep resetting it until the problem is cleared up."
Experimenter A agreed and began to look through the records after seeing the supervisor off.
Although the experimental subject would be sarcastic to others every time he woke up, his tone and attitude became gentler and gentler, and he was no longer as aggressive as at the beginning.
In other words, as long as you keep resetting it, it will return to normal sooner or later!
Himuro Hayato followed him and watched the man press the [Reset] button.
After resetting, the ban will be automatically lifted.
"You are very persistent and ridiculous," said the subject.
Experimenter A ignored him and continued to reset—
He forcibly reset Himuro Hayato more than a dozen times, but the effect was minimal.
At this time, someone came to find him with the latest plan: "No need to reset, the language module must be deeply infected by some virus. Resetting it alone can't solve this problem."
"Just mute him and keep him mute. If necessary, ask him to write down what he wants to say with pen and paper." The other party paused. "Of course, if you are willing to accept his sarcastic remarks, you can unmute him."
"Just keep silent when important people come, so as not to offend them."
Experimenter A: "...No one likes to be treated sarcastic."
He tried to clarify for himself.
The other party didn't care and left quickly after conveying the message.
Experimenter A and Himuro Hayato looked at each other in confusion.
Experimenter A: “…”
He really doesn't like being scolded! He is wronged!
The forum was full of laughter at this time:
[I was actually banned]
[Brother Wei, are you there? Himuro Hayato won’t get beaten for talking like that.
But you will be banned. 】
1L [In front of Himuro Hayato: There are still ∞ minutes until the ban is lifted]
2L [Hayato Himuro was banned for cursing, so sad]
3L [I remember some people speculated that it was because Himuro Hayato had been silenced for too long that he spoke incoherently when he first appeared.]
4L [I'll kill the prophet first!]
The expected knife did not appear.
Ye Yueshen immediately began to steer the conversation: [He's been reset so many times by the lab, and he still can't speak...]
6L[Is the Lonely Ambassador going to kill someone again? [Dizzy.JPG]
7L [It seemed so cheerful here... Someone, come and mute 5L!]
Ye Yue Shen asked: [Has the pain value changed? ]
The system took a look and hesitated: [Maybe it rose by 0.1%?]
Hazuki Shin: [……]
[The knife may not be strong enough.] The system said, [It's okay, we can continue to send knives!]
The system has found a way out for me. [If I reach -100%, I will apply for a job change and complete the task with one click.]
I’m not transferring now because I feel that -99% still has room to struggle.
The system checks every time a myocardial infarction occurs.
————
The memory was reset yesterday, the explosion occurred today, and experimenter A was not in the experimental base because he had asked for leave.
Hayato Himuro watched the entire explosion.
Only he survived.
[This destruction of the body is too obvious.] Ye Yue Shen couldn't help but say, [Have they forgotten that Himuro Hayato is not dead?]
System: [Maybe they think resetting their memory will solve the problem.]
When the Black Lizard from the Port Mafia arrived, the first thing he saw was the man standing on the ruins.
His black hair was blown by the wind, making it a little messy and covering his cheeks, but his eyes were particularly conspicuous, red, like flowing blood, revealing danger.
The man stared at the Black Lizard Squad motionlessly.
The ruins beneath his feet were clearly the site of the explosion, and he was actually standing directly on the ruins...
Guangjin Liulang was the first to react: "Excuse me, who are you?"
The other person opened his mouth and seemed to say something.
But it was soon blown away by the wind.
The Black Lizard Squad approached him tentatively, but the other party did not run away or resist. He just looked at them, motionless.

Mori Ogai drew a circle below.

【Author’s words】
Regarding Hayato Himuro, in the original outline, his ability was not immortality, but body strengthening + supernatural ability [cutting]. In fact, it is a replica of the current supernatural ability of Kurome Yukito. I would like to mention here that Kurome Yukito's original supernatural ability was cloud control.
Because this design didn't seem to have any special features, an idea popped into my mind: [Contrast].
I can design that Murasakibara Xueche, who seems to be more dependent on [economy], is actually the most powerful, while Himuro Hayato, who seems to be the most powerful, relies entirely on skills (imitation ability), and Yun Xiji is purely a cheat and will be banned. Because his supernatural power is relatively strong, he is given a fragile physique and side effects.
Thus, this version of the supernatural power design appeared, which is what is presented in the main text.
Now let's talk about Hayato Himuro. In the original version of his character design, I arranged for him to be "cold, cruel and unkind on the surface, but actually not good at expressing himself and wary of others, and his cute point is his inhumanity." This fits the theme of misunderstanding. Later, in order to rationalize the plot, I replaced all the above except "not good at expressing himself" and "inhumanity".
The following are the questions and answers I asked myself when designing it:
Vest No. 2 is sorted out separately:
Q: What is the character setting?
A: Contrast in language (venomous to those he admires), calm and elegant (this is a bit conflicting with inhumanity, now replaced by AI-like personality), inhuman, lack of common sense, mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder
Q: What is the misunderstanding?
A: Expressing love with disgust, and believing it sincerely, the person being admired will never know the truth until he dies.
Q: How to combat misunderstandings?
A: Mafia admires the strong, and the second-in-command is strong enough.
Q: What about advancement?
A: Nakahara Chuuya: I was very careful in my observation, so I figured out the reason quickly. I have mixed feelings about Vest No. 2, but I still appreciate him.
Ryunosuke Akutagawa: I recognize the other person's ability and think what he said makes sense.
Mori Ogai: I don't care, assign it to Nakahara Chuuya, as long as he can do the job
Verlaine: Didn’t anyone hit you for what you said?
Q: How to implement copywriting?
A: After being pointed out by Chuuya Nakahara, there is an additional performance. If you don't correct it in time, you will frown slightly, lower your eyes, and review your behavior after speaking sarcastically (the audience beautifies it into a small expression of annoyance)
[Sorry, the above is a bit difficult to introduce later, and the effect is not ideal]
Q: Where does the knife and the contrast come into play? What is the key plot point of the persecution?
A: After I finished speaking sarcastically, I checked the comments and found that the Mafia members only sighed that Vest No. 2 was too powerful, and everyone summed up a pattern: Vest No. 2 would ignore people he didn't care about, and only those who were appreciated would be treated like this.
main character:? ?
Q: And then?
A: The protagonist accidentally discovered that the vest's past interactions could stab the audience, and the pain value increased by 3%. The protagonist began to think about the next vest (this is Yun Xiji's foreshadowing design). At this time, the system returned and recycled the copy.
Q: I feel like the design of these knives isn’t good enough. Is there more content?
A: Yes, brothers, yes. The protagonist's goal was to make everyone in the Mafia hate him, but instead, no one hated him. Instead, they admired him. The inspiration came from: wanting to be friends with him, but finding out he hated me, so I walked away disappointed. Neither side offered an explanation, and then there was the missing knife, the dull knife used to cut meat; and the knife that everyone misunderstood and hated.
There are also some scattered points, such as mint candy, the tie given by Morio, the experience as a test subject, and Himuro Hayato's attitude towards the other two vests. This design was the first version of the outline. The current text is similar to the first version of the outline and has not been significantly modified:
Relationship with other Vests: I met Vest 1 in the lab and subconsciously learned Vest 1's behavior patterns, but I only learned the surface. My attitude towards Vest 1 is [familiar], and my attitude towards Vest 3 is [unfamiliar].
