The car finally stopped.
The doors seemed to open.
The outside air was wrapped in acrid smoke.
I: Sneeze!
Low Male Voice: ...
Low Male Voice: Get off.
I: ...
I: What?
Subconsciously looking for the door on the right, it turned out to be closed.
Low Male Voice: Well. Left, left!
The man said impatiently.
I obediently touched the door on the other side and bent my waist into a shrimp-like shape.
Fearing that my head would hit the door frame, I did not dare to straighten my back after taking two or three steps from the car.
No way. Who keeps my head in a black bag...
Low Male Voice: Go.
The source of the sound grabbed my arm and pulled forward indiscriminately. That was great. The other party should be a big man.
boom.
Behind it came the sound of the door closing and the engine starting.
I: What!
Suddenly, he slipped like a fool.
Low Male Voice: Stupid, look at the way!
I: ...
I want to see the way.

The ground seemed to be soggy, and the cold atmosphere eroded the remaining heat in the trouser tubes.
In this way, I don't know how long it has been.
It's getting quieter and quieter. Faintly heard the scream of the owl.
feel……
...No, shouldn't they plan to "dispose of" me?
After all, it is an important "sample" and should not...
and many more.
There seems to be someone writing in front of me. Or something.
Inorganic female voice: ...You can go back.
It was a calm, unemotional female voice. It doesn't sound old, maybe a role like a secretary.
Low Male Voice: Yes, miss.
The big hand grabbing his arm was finally released.
There was a sound of friction in the windbreaker. Then there were footsteps that drifted away.

Girl: Greenwich Mean Time, 22:57 on October 20th-it's hard for you, little mouse.
I: What!
Without any mental preparation, the hood was ripped off with a bang.
The closed elastic band shaved his nose hard and it hurt.
Girl: Be quiet.
The messy girl reminded calmly.
Girl: Follow me.
She didn't give me too many opportunities to look at my face.
She also knew that I had nowhere to run.

This seems to be the campus of a university. The dazzling street lamps cast a terrible projection on the hard road, and the pale light and shadow in the small building in front could not help but associate some taboo experiments.
Unstoppable, I started to imagine how he ran away.
Bite your finger.
Shred clothes.
Yelling hysterically.
Waving his hands deliriously--
Finally he was shot to the ground by an anesthesia gun.
Or worse.
"You will hear desperate screams there," (Note)
"You will see ancient ghosts suffering."
"They're all crying for their second death--"

The few poems Welt thinks of are from Dante's Divine Comedy.

Girl: Don't be afraid. This is different from other laboratories.
!
...She seemed to be able to see through my inner anxiety easily.
Girl: Imperial Research Institute 42 laboratory.
She explained to herself--
Girl: Welcome home.
Go home?

Girl: Sit.
The girl pointed at the sofa in the hall.
Girl: Tea? Or coffee?
I: ...
Girl: I recommend tea. The air in London is terrible.
I: ...
Girl: ...
I: ...
Girl: Ein-Stein.
She suddenly spoke German with a serious expression. Ein ... Stein ... "a stone"?
Einstein: Ph.D., Einstein-Lieserl Albert Einstein.
She pointed to herself and to me.
Einstein: Your name?
I: …… Ω1. It's on my profile.
Einstein: Ω1 can't be counted as a human name.
I: ... Then I don't have a name.
Einstein: Inconvenient.
She shook her head.
I: ...
Having said that, I can't help it. after all--
Einstein: ... Welt. W.E.L.T.
I: Uh?
Einstein: I think this name is right for you.
I: ……Whatever.
Ω = W. Welt = World. As an outcast of the world, it is also interesting to call such a name.
Einstein: So let's check our health, Welt.
I: ……Yes.
Put on a whole bunch of electrodes-maybe blood or bone marrow puncture. It's been a regular thing.
Einstein: No, don't get up. Just sit there.
Einstein: Stick out your feet.
I: Oh……
I: ……What? Feet, feet??
Einstein: Take off your shoes and socks. I want to observe your soleplate.
I: --What is this to do?!
Einstein: It's late, we should rest early.
I: ……What?!
Einstein: The soles of your feet can accurately and intuitively reflect your health. And it checked quickly-
Einstein: -Just scratch the toothbrush.
I: And many more……
I: ...Do you want to say then we can sleep?!
Einstein: Correct. Your understanding is excellent.
I: ...This is not right anywhere!
Einstein: Yes.
I: ……What?
Einstein: Seeing Welt's listlessness, Dr. Einstein decided to make a joke to keep him spirited.
I: ...What is going on with this doctor?
Einstein: You sleep in room 105 here.
She pointed to the corridor aside.
Einstein: I live upstairs.
I: ……Oh.
Einstein: Good night. You can forget your identity as a mouse.
She walked away without looking back.
Only the once "mice" remained in place.
I: ...
