Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

Stepping forward, walking in the gloomy and dark corridor, the boy quickly passed the half-open door. Behind the door is another long and narrow corridor. It can be seen that there are various scanning devices and attack devices on the left and right. Existence, obviously guarding against someone from the outside invading.

Containment area, according to the literal meaning, this place should be holding something.

However, this arrangement gives the impression that some kind of important person is imprisoned, and it is set up to prevent someone from entering it to rescue him.

While speculating and analyzing the situation in his heart, the boy continued to move forward.

These hideous-looking weapons that are completely fixed on the wall are all offline, which is quite good news.Kamijou Touma walked all the way until he reached the end of this long and narrow corridor, and there was also an open door at the end.However, unlike the places he walked through before, he could see dried blood beside the door, and at the same time, just standing outside the door, the boy could already smell a rancid smell.

There is something in it.

The young man who became vigilant carefully stepped into the room behind the door.

The light of the flashlight quickly illuminated a corpse that had rotted and swollen.

It was a person in a white coat. Unfortunately, because the rot was too serious, there was no way to tell whether it was a man or a woman.Amidst the stench filling the room, the boy frowned, resisting the desire to vomit, walked around the corpse, and looked at the layout of the room.

A very ordinary-looking house with nothing special, furnished with some very ordinary furniture.

It looks like a featureless sofa, but it should be very soft to sit on, two small tables, a desk lamp with a slightly cartoon style, a TV that looks a bit old, a larger dining table, and then It was a double bed on the other side of the room, and a row of bookshelves could be seen on one side of the bed.

There is no road leading to other places in this house, that is to say, after layers of defense, what you finally arrive at is just such an ordinary house.

It's a bit strange, no, it's simply inexplicable, so tight defense is just to protect such an ordinary house in the end?Or is it that the white coat who died here is the target of protection, but this person just happens to live and live here?

Do a search, maybe there is something of value.

Thinking like this, the young man explored the room, and soon found that there was a stack of papers that looked slightly stained next to the corpse that fell on the ground.

Walking up to those papers, Kamijou picked them up like mahjong, and found that what was written on them was something like a diary.

【first day】

[I forgot to record what day it is today. Damn it, it’s hard to have a concept of date changes on a spaceship. This is not a good thing.Fortunately, I have a watch that can record the time, so that I can also know how many days will pass in the future]

[Those masked ghosts killed many people, but more people suddenly fell to the ground and died.Those ghost things are drilling around in every corner of the spaceship.There are both tangible and intangible.But why do they come to attack us?How did they bypass the defense?Could it be that there is a ghost between us? 】

[No matter what the situation is, when the rescue team from the branch arrives, there will be no problem.Now I'm going to hide here first, as I expected, none of those things can break into the R5580.I am absolutely safe here, I will survive, I will survive.Mild, you are the youngest group of third-level researchers in the entire G star field, your future will never stop here]

[But now I have to restrain my thinking. I can't read the information of R5580, and I can't think too carefully about this place in my heart.This is really lucky, fortunately, I am not taking over the management of this containment, for example, knowing the details of this thing, I must have become a pile of rotten meat now]

The slightly messy notes showed that the recorder was not at ease at the time.

Kamijou Touma frowned, and was not in a hurry to leave the room, but continued to flip through the papers to see what else the man had recorded.

After opening these papers, the young man noticed that there were many defects in the records on them. It seemed that they were destroyed after they were written. Only a few of them remained relatively complete, and the contents on them could still be read.

【The third day】

【I don’t need to eat, drink, sleep, or excrete. I don’t need anything in this house. My nails won’t grow, and neither will my hair and beard.Nothing will change, as long as I continue to stay here, nothing will change】

[This sentence is said, as if I have lived forever.It sounds really interesting, the immortal trapped in a small room of ten square meters]

【No, no, you can’t continue thinking in this direction, Mild, if you want to live, you can’t think in this direction if you want to live】

[the fifth day]

[One of my arms started to rot, starting to look like R5580-1]

【I know I can't think about it, but I can't control myself. I keep telling myself not to think about the rules of this damn place, but I just can't control myself.Damn, I just study this stuff, how can I restrain myself from thinking about it]

[Do you want to leave?Just go outside and I won't be affected anymore.But who knows if it's safe outside, have those things gone?Or has it been wandering around, or simply waiting for me to come out at the door? 】

【Keep going, Mild, rescue will arrive soon】

【No.15 days】

[My legs are completely festered, the reason is very simple, I inadvertently thought about the composition of this thing, and then I figured out its time-changing law]

[The clearer the cognition, the more serious the change will be, and it only takes me less than a second to figure it out.I obviously didn’t read the containment report at the bottom, but now I can already guess the general description on that thing]

【It's so tragic, because the knowledge and thinking ability that a lifetime has learned has led to destruction instead】

【Any day】

【Those rots are beginning to erode the depths of my thinking】

[Am I still myself? 】

[Why hasn't rescue come yet? 】

【(page with empty date record)】

[When I was in middle school, I liked a girl on the cheerleading team. Her name was Dana. I don’t know if it’s the name]

[I still owe Redson a ticket, I think I have to pay you back if I have a chance]

[(scribbled paper)]

The further you go to the back, the more messy the handwriting is. It is clear that the state of the recorder is getting worse and worse.

What are these things?

The boy didn't understand what these records were all about. Why did he turn into a rotting corpse when he stayed in the house well?What's the point of not needing to eat, drink, sleep and excrete?I don't get it at all, is this some kind of supernatural phenomenon?

Speaking of which, after staying in this small room for a while, I always felt uncomfortable, as if someone was staring at me.

The surrounding air seemed to have cooled a little, and after reading these diaries, there seemed to be a certain change in the atmosphere in the room.The boy raised his head in doubt and looked around, but found nothing unusual.But this weird feeling lingered all the time. Feeling uncomfortable, Kamijou Touma walked around the house, checked everywhere, but still couldn't find anything unusual, and finally had to give up temporarily.

Let's continue to look at what is in the record in hand, it seems that there are still some unfinished things in the back.

Kamijou Touma turned to the last page of the record, and then found that there was a crumpled piece of paper at the bottom, with the words [Containment Record-Hush-R5580] written on it.

Subconsciously, the boy will open this record.

"If I were you, I wouldn't open this thing in that room."

The soft voice of a young woman sounded from far behind.

"who is it?"

Kamijou Touma immediately turned around vigilantly, but only saw darkness.

The flashlight shone through, but no one was seen. Outside the opened door, there was still the empty narrow corridor.

"You're still far away from me. Humans can't see me at this distance~"

The voice sounded again, and it sounded very pleasant.

"Are you up front?"

The young man who asked this question took a few steps forward, walked out of the room and returned to the long and narrow corridor.

"Okay, if you get here, look at the record again, and you won't be attacked."

Then suddenly, the other party's voice sounded with a sense of mystery.

"attack?"

Some doubts turned around and looked at the room behind him, but he couldn't see anything unusual.

Lowering his head again, the teenager saw the income record in his hand.

【Containment Number: R5580】

【Dangerous class: Hush】

[Containment Class: Hush]

[Containment standard level: Class 2 D-level standard]

[No special containment measures are required, only external entry conditions need to be improved, recommended level: Level 3]

[Description of content: R5580 is a small rental house of 12 square meters. There are sofas, tables, TVs, beds and other furniture inside. The furniture, floors and other places in the house have no special material firmness and can be painted normally. , modification and damage, but will be repaired slowly within 10 minutes, so it is impossible to leave a mark of change anywhere in the house (defaced cannot be seen), and adding things to the house will not make any changes , but when the added things cause the displacement or damage of the original items in the house, the moved or damaged objects will slowly recover and return to the original state. During this process, if the added items affect them, It will generate a force that cannot determine the specific source, and will destroy the added items (defilement cannot be seen clearly)]

【R5580-1为曾经居住在R5580中的一位住客，名为■■■（此处姓名隐去，需要该类情报者请查看C-R5580-002A号报告），男，此人在星盟历2005年6月4日至■■■（污损无法看清）】

[It is worth noting that when a living animal or human (number R5580-2) is placed in R5580, it will be observed to stop the physiologically necessary activities such as eating, excreting and sleeping, and can stay healthy and sober.It is speculated that some kind of anomaly in R5580 itself has a protective function for the residents inside, but further experiments have found that when the living body in R5580 has a clear understanding of R5580 itself, especially the nature of R5580 as an anomaly Next, the R5580-2 in it will change, gradually leaning towards——]

Boom!

The violent sound made Kamijou Touma, who was concentrating on the record, startled at this moment.

Suddenly, the door leading to the small room was closed, and amidst the loud noise, Kamijou Touma could even see obvious cracks appearing on the wall at the edge of the door.

If I had stood closer to the door just now, maybe I would have been photographed as meat sauce, right?

[Go away...all go away...]

There was a sound from behind the closed door the next moment, followed by blood gushing out from the crack of the door with a strong stench.The boy couldn't help covering his nose at the next moment, and took a few steps back one after another.But in the blink of an eye, the blood and stench disappeared.The door was still open, and the cracks on the wall disappeared, as if everything was just an illusion.

"What the hell is this?"

The scene was so weird that the boy couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Like I said at the beginning, you have to be outside of that thing and read its documentation to be safe."

The female voice sounded again at this moment.

"Who the hell are you? Where are you talking to me?"

I tried to find the other party's location again, but I couldn't get a clue at all. I could only feel that the other party's voice was coming from far away.But despite being separated by an extremely long distance, the other party's voice sounded as clear as it sounded beside him, which made the young man extremely confused, not understanding what was going on.

"It's said that I'm far away, if you want to find me, just follow my voice, can't you?"

The voice that sounded this time carried a sense of guidance, and the boy could clearly feel that the other party's voice was moving in a certain direction.

Want to follow?

After hesitating for a while, the boy finally chose to take a step.

Excessive vigilance in this strange place does not necessarily guarantee safety, so instead of being cautious, it is better to take a gamble and see what kind of result you can get.

"Hmm, it seems that he is the type who dares to act, and he is quite different from those guys who didn't dare to show their heads before."

There seemed to be a hint of exclamation in the female voice.

"Do you know what happened to that place just now?"

Thinking of the fact that this unknown woman reminded me to let him leave the house to read the document, and realized that if he really opened the document in the house, something terrible would happen, and this voice saved my life. , the boy began to be a little curious.

"It was the last house a lonely person lived in, someone who had been traumatized in the past, so rejected friends, rejected society, and locked himself in a small rental house by himself."

The woman's voice took on a tone of memory.

"And after he died, no one found him, and he was finally found after he rotted."

"But this is only part of the story. After the former resident left, the room changed and became an anomaly. As long as you stay in it, you will never need to worry about eating, drinking, and resting. For hope It’s a perfect sanctuary for those who are away from it all.”
