Chapter 15 Watch the young bandage spirit online!

…

If the battle is lost at the front, all androids will be conscripted into the military. Although I was reluctant, I was still sent to the artificial human factory.

They updated my program and changed my gear.

I stood before my new master and saluted respectfully as the rules stated.

"Hello, sir."

My second master was a young and excellent colonel who never talked about private matters. As his bodyguard, my job was only to report, fight, protect and cultivate.

I will protect him from all harm, even at the cost of my own life if necessary.

In just three years, except for the core chip inside, I no longer have any trace of the previous owner.

I thought: Will my former family members still remember me?

The colonel gave me a day off, so I returned to the doorstep of my former master.

…

"It's a combat-type android!"

Someone exclaimed.

The old cat breathed at me, the young master looked at me from a distance, and there was fear and dread in the eyes of the hostess and the mistress.

They no longer recognized me after all.

It's really strange. I'm clearly standing here, and just some parts have been replaced, but it feels like some existence has been replaced.

Has a part of me been lost with something?

They no longer consider me family.

What am I now?

…

The colonel was still busy with his work and didn't care where I went. Even though my location was clearly displayed on his communicator, he didn't say a word.

There was no blame or surprise. He didn't care whether I had committed the serious crime of secretly looking for the previous owner. He just coldly arranged the next task.

I knew that as long as I was still useful, he would be completely tolerant.

I remember when I was at the front, he would arrange for me to be the first to get repaired, give me the latest equipment, and give me the latest software.

Although different from my family,...

Maybe he is a good master?

I was programmed to take a bullet for him, to charge into battle for him, to win for him, and perhaps to die for him.

I did everything I could.

So……

Am I his soldier?

The Ship of Theseus Part 2: Excerpt

】

"Looking Forward" and "The Ship of Theseus" were approved together, finalized at a very fast speed and published in sequence. "Looking Forward" will be published first, and "The Ship of Theseus" will not be published until next month.

Then the president found that he couldn't find anyone from Qianjianmu again.

It was obvious that Edogawa Ranpo was always reading the manuscript of The Ship of Theseus recently. I heard his sigh and snorted in annoyance.

"Ranpo-sama will find him sooner or later!"

The story in Yokohama always changes every day. What the president did not expect was that he was caught up in the vortex of breaking up with his former partner in just half a month. The Angel of Death, who contracted mild PTSD due to the war, officially joined the Armed Detective Agency. From then on, the basic forces of the Armed Detective Agency were officially complete.

While in the cafe, Oda Sakunosuke met a book friend. At the end of April, he told the dark-haired and silent friend that he was about to go for an interview for a low-level position in the port mafia. Nakai listened to him in silence. He felt the other person's clear emotions, said nothing, and just nodded.

"OK."

The timeline rolls forward relentlessly, and everyone's destiny flows forward along the predetermined route. All beginnings and endings quietly appear, just waiting to compose an infinite plot.

And at this moment of destiny——

The Sengenbaku is not in Yokohama.

He is in Hokkaido.

It all started with a report from Endo Shusaku. Endo Shusaku's family was from Aomori and was considered a small family. After his family suffered tragic news, Endo Shusaku was forced to settle in Yokohama. But even if he had not been seen for several years, the family inheritance rights were actually still in his hands. Some of the existing real estate seemed to be a bug, and like his life, it was always in a Schrödinger's state, making those who wanted to take over helpless and could only secretly send people to search for him.

Endo Shusaku was very upset and had to go back to deal with the inheritance matters. It just so happened that the local prominent family, the Tsushima family, invited him to meet the head of the family, and he saw the young man in the Tsushima family's reception room.

The boy has short, slightly curly hair and his iris-colored eyes are light and peaceful. Because the other brothers were busy with other things, he was asked to entertain the guests. It can be felt that the boy's status in the family is neither high nor low, and he himself is well aware of this. After the servant left, the young man slowly put down his gentle and elegant mask and looked at him with subtle eyes.

"Father will keep you waiting for an hour. Ah...what's your name?"

"Endo Shusaku."

"Oh." He nodded slowly and blinked, his beautiful iris-colored pupils showing a false childlike innocence and malicious expression.

He asked:

"The entire Endo family was burned to death, and you were the only one who survived because of your illness. So how come you are still alive?"

Endo looked at him with a smile, and was not moved even when talking about the past. He smiled and replied:

"Then...how do you know whether I'm dead or alive?"

Dazai froze for a moment, then said with a bitter face:

"Impossible, I've seen dead people."

"You can't guarantee that, you've never died." Endo looked at him quietly.

"Oh, I'm going to die."

The young man nodded, and then he smiled and said, "When I die, the answer will be revealed."

——

In Shuji Tsushima's opinion, the spring in Aomori is very cold.

Even when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, they are nearly two months later than the southernmost city.

However, even though it is winter, there is no sign of the season on the people at home.

When going out, one must wear a kimono and carry a fan, with the large "Tsurumaru" family crest embroidered on the back, supporting the glory of the noble family.

At home, you should wear a light kimono without wrinkles or inappropriate accessories. Kneel and sit upright, follow the rules when eating, be polite when meeting elders, and greet guests patiently.

The Japanese-style family lives in a "luxury house" that combines Japanese and Western styles. More than 30 people are crowded together, which can be considered a "rich and famous family."

We must respect the hierarchy of elders and be respectful to our teachers and parents. But when my mother died, my father was busy running for council seat and didn't even come home.

He clearly remembered that day, he was wearing a funny kimono and a long scarf, standing woodenly at the door of the paper door, witnessing the woman lose her life. Death is like a beautiful withering petal, disappearing silently in an instant. He stood there, listening to his brother and younger brother weeping, not sensing any sadness at all, only feeling a great irony.

So he lowered his eyes and raised his hands to cover his expressionless face.

Times are changing. The supernatural war far away in Yokohama can only provide the Tsushima family in Hokkaido with some unprofitable topics of conversation. They are more worried about votes, banking reform, and maintaining relationships between families.

Everyone was busy, and he was the only one like a spectator on the platform. It's like a clown on the stage, experiencing his own ignorance and feeling the inexplicable fear and sadness.

No matter what happened, he always had nowhere to go and was always wasting time.

The deliberately hurtful topic was hit back neither softly nor hard, so the slightly aroused interest disappeared without a trace. If both of you keep quiet, then this period of time won't be so difficult. Hearing his father's footsteps, Tsushima Shuji lazily sat up, but his clothes became wrinkled, so he was successfully driven away to tidy up his clothes, and ran out of the reception room filled with absurdity and stupidity as if escaping.

But when I am alone, the emptiness in my heart begins to slowly expand. The black mud rolls over and over again. I torture myself day and night, and I don’t even know why I am unsatisfied.

He leaned against the back of a tree, and the servants who came and went either ignored him or did not notice him at all. He has such an unusual personality. If he is disturbed, he will stare at the person calmly with calm eyes. Over time, everyone developed an inexplicable fear of him.

However, today is obviously not a good day.

The survivor who had returned appeared around the corner at some point, looking at him with something strange in his eyes.

Tsushima Shuji suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him. The surviving criminal blinked, seeming a little surprised. After a brief moment of shock, he raised his finger to his lips and made a gesture of silence with a smile.

——This is all about Tsushima Shuji’s encounter with that person.

In a month or two, he will be twelve years old, and his life will undergo drastic changes in the next year. Tsushima Shuji is the first one to walk onto an unfamiliar crossroads before everyone else.

And he knew nothing at the moment.

——

Qian Jianmu was called in by a phone call.

Zhou Zuo’s tone was a bit like: I found something really weird, come and take another look with me.

In fact, to Endo Shusaku, this kid from the Tsushima family was really weird.

He could clearly realize the weirdness of Tsushima Shuji: Tsushima Shuji could see him caught between life and death, and he could not see any fate in Tsushima Shuji; he did not want to die but wanted to live, while Tsushima Shuji was alive but wanted to die.

It was as if he was the living dead and Tsushima Shuji was the dead living.

He currently doesn't have the imagination to imagine the bug of power nullification. He just thinks it's weird and takes another look.

Qian Jianmu was also confused by his description and thought that this man was strange, so he came to take a look as well.

So when the cherry blossoms in Hokkaido were in bud, Chigenmaku arrived in Aomori to queue up to visit the future holders of the title of No Longer Human.

Both of them came with the mentality of traveling and observing magical creatures. After meeting and checking the schedule, they found that the young master of the Tsushima family was quite elusive and could not be caught. Submitting a visiting card to get in is even more troublesome, and it is extremely difficult to enter the Tsushima family without exchanging benefits.

In the end, the two of them unanimously decided to secretly climb over the wall to go to Tsushima's house in the middle of the night to see him.

So, when Tsushima Shuji, who was eleven years and ten months old, was sitting in his room reading secretly with a candle late at night, he heard rustling sounds outside the door.

Tsushima Shuji: ...?

He stood up with a wooden face and opened the door.
