Starting human body

The apartment building where the Saida family lives is like most ordinary apartment buildings in Japan. It is a verandah-style collective housing. The stairs are set up outside the building. The verandah is also an open structure, much like a general school teaching building.

Natsuki parked the car downstairs in the apartment, and went to the administrator with Negra Kazuya to get the key, then went upstairs to find the Saita house that had been vacated long ago.

However, the entrance door was not locked and was slightly open as if someone had come in and out.

"Didn't you say no one lives there?"

Nelai Kazuya looked at it doubtfully, then tentatively pushed the door open and entered.

"Squeak!"

After entering through the entrance hall, it was indeed deserted, with no one living there.

But when he walked outside the second bedroom, the scene in front of him made Nelai Kazuya almost scream in shock.

The small, not-so-large room was filled with paintings, and the floor was covered with disgusting paints. It was bloody, dark, and twisted... It was like entering a horror painting exhibition, and I felt uncomfortable just by looking at it.

"Mr. Takaki! Come and see here!"

"It's strange," the administrator said shakily as he followed, "There's no reason. No one has lived here for half a year. I tidied it up myself at the time. It was very clean at the time and there were no such paintings!"

"Are you sure no one lives there?" Nelai Kazuya asked seriously.

"Of course," the administrator affirmed, "I still remember that this police officer was the one who found me. Besides, there is no water or electricity in this house now, and the kitchen has not been used. Who would live here?"

"Mr. Gao Gui..."

Negra Kazuya turned his eyes to Natsuki, his voice also trembling.

Except for the bedroom that was turned into a studio, there is indeed no trace of anyone living anywhere else.

It's almost like a haunted house.

Natsuki finally walked into the second bedroom and saw that the scene in front of him didn't change much.

After all, Saida Riko is a doll. She doesn't have much waking time, and most of the time she has complete consciousness only when she is with the solitary family. She is like a ghost who has preserved some memories of her life.

"The Saita family must have been killed six months ago, but recently I discovered Saita Riko outside the tunnel where the incident occurred. People who had been missing or even dead reappeared..."

"impossible!"

A lonely figure suddenly appeared outside the door, grabbing his fingers in despair and pain.

"How could Lizi be killed? We have been dating for the past six months!"

Just now, after completing his training mission, he suddenly received a mysterious message telling him that he was about to lose someone important.

"The solitary door."

Natsuki turned back to Gumen, who was still breathing a little.

"Have you been to Saita's house before?"

"I……"

"Don't forget what Miss Saita said in the hospital. Do you really think it was just a nightmare?"

Natsuki pulled Nelai Kazuya and the administrator out of the way, revealing the chaotic scene in the second bedroom.

"Come and take a look. Are these the paintings of Ms. Saita? The Saita Riko you met may not be who she is anymore..."

"Liar! Impossible!"

Gumen stared at the studio in the second bedroom and choked in pain. After walking step by step to the center of the studio, he absentmindedly picked up a photo taken with Riko Saita at the zoo on the ground. His whole body seemed to be drained of energy.

"Liko..."

"Mr. Takanoki," Negra Kazuya said softly, "Is he Riko Saita's boyfriend? It's better not to irritate him..."

"It doesn't matter."

Natsuki shook his head, took Nelai Kazuya and the management officer to leave the apartment first.

He doesn't think the darkness is scary. Just like the mastermind behind the scenes uses the darkness to promote the evolution of the Light of Nexus, the Gumen will also grow after experiencing the darkness.

Otherwise, why is the last link of Nexus in the TV show a solitary one?

From Nexus to Noah, the span in between is nothing short of a chasm.

Nexus can only be level S at most, and can directly evolve from S to SS or even SSS. There is probably no one in this world who understands the difficulty of it better than him.

Even if Nexus prefers "awakening" or "revival", it is enough to see the role of the solitary door.

If he hadn't successfully planted the seeds of light in Gumen's body, he would have almost thought that Gumen was Noah.

"But Mr. Takaki said he wanted to save someone," Nelai Kazuya followed Natsuki downstairs in a hurry, "Who are you trying to save?"

"Don't worry, just follow Gu Men later."

Natsuki looked up at the Saita family.

"What's the relationship between that solitary family and Mr. Takaki?" Nelai Kazuya asked curiously.

"They are considered friends." Xia Shu said calmly.

"So the person Mr. Gao Gui wants to save is him?"

Nelai Kazuya breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, looked at Natsuki with a smile and said.

"Ever since I met Mr. Gao Gui, everyone said that Mr. Gao Gui was lonely and heartless and didn't care about anything. He was like an alien and usually mysterious. Now that I see Mr. Gao Gui caring so much about his friends, I feel relieved. Shao, as expected, Mr. Gao Gui is a good man."

Natsuki turned back and looked at Nelai Kazuya, without explaining anything: "Do you think I am a good person? Maybe I am really an alien that invaded the earth."

"Haha, even if Mr. Gao Gui is an alien, he must be a friendly alien."

Nerai Kazuya came into the driveway.

"I should be friends with Mr. Gaogui now, right?"

"Just say yes."

Natsuki didn't want to pay any attention to it, leaving Nerai and Kazuya to giggle alone.

Regardless of whether it was Nelai Kazuya or Gumen, in his eyes, he was still more of a tool.

As a passer-by, and to some extent the second "behind the scenes", he never expected to make any friends here.

Although his purpose is different from that of Ishihori Mitsuhiko, he is definitely not a good person.

His primary goal has always been to improve his own strength.

"Hey, Mr. Takaki, would you like something to drink? How about coffee?"

Negrai Kazuya smiled, noticed a vending machine nearby, and quickly greeted him.

"My treat."

…

Mountainous forests.

Wearing a thin white skirt and walking barefoot in the morning mist, Riko Saita looked towards the unfamiliar surroundings with a trembling voice.

The blood kept flowing down the long white lotus-like arms, and the long skirt was stained with a little plum blossom-shaped blood stains.

"Tell me, who am I? Who am I?"

"You are nobody."

Mizoro Muzhenya's cold voice sounded.

"Yes, you are just a puppet because you died a long time ago."

"I am dead?"

Saita Riko's face was stiff, and the image of the tunnel before her death once again recalled in her mind.

After her parents were killed by monsters in the explosion, a soldier wearing a special uniform arrived at the scene, but instead of dealing with the monster, he turned around and shot her.

"ah--!"

"Mizoroki Shinya!"

At the TLT base, Nagi Saijo found Mizorogi who remotely controlled Saita Riko with a gun.

"It's really you!"

"snort."

Mizorogi was wearing a black trench coat and had a cold face, as if he had been waiting for Saijo Nagi to come over.

"I'm back, Nagi. I haven't seen you for a year. I've been looking forward to the day when we meet again like this."

"Do not make jokes!"

Saijo Nagi’s eyes were sharp.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"What a terrifying look," Mizorogi said calmly, "I'm playing an interesting game now, and it's all for you, Nagi, you are qualified to come to my side and be my partner!"
