Chapter 14: XIV. College Student but Pirate Captain
Two thousand meters underground.
Dark Matter Research Institute.
The tunnels, carved by modern machinery, still had droplets of water clinging to the walls. The pale light of the industrial lamps shone on the steel framework of the pier, as students wearing visitor badges and research coats walked past it one after another.
"What's wrong with you?"
A college girl with light golden hair and azure eyes asked Liszt.
At that moment, Liszt seemed extremely odd.
"It was like... I had a really long dream, so vivid. Ten years have gone by, no... in that world, there were sixteen months in a year, so more than a decade."
Liszt stood there, dazed, looking around. It was indeed a nightmare—an eternity each day, scheming, living on the edge, killing like hemp, completely transformed into another person.
At this time, he had no beard, his face was clean without any horrifying wounds, an exchange student who had traveled to North America and was now visiting the Dark Matter Research Institute.
Since it was a rare opportunity, the university organized all the best students from the engineering departments, who had come from all over the world, nearly filling up the institute.
Because a more advanced Dark Matter Research Institute had become operational, the one they were visiting had its secrecy lifted and was semi-open to the public.
