Nobody knows

when the world became this way.

One day, the infection suddenly started

and humans lost the power to connect with the city.

After that, the city expanded on its own

and humans were seen as illegal residents

and exterminated.

It all happened...

long before I was born.

Wait.

This way.

Be careful.

Yeah. Sorry.

You're too jumpy.

We can hear you.

It's still okay around here.

We might've just been lucky up until now.

Don't let your guard down. But...

Zuru's right, you know.

I wonder if this is really the right path.

It is a bit different from the map.

It's an old map. The area must have been rebuilt by the Builders.

Do you really think we'll be okay on our own?

Let's go back.

Why the heck would we go back when we've come this far?

It should be just beyond this passage.

I think.

Zuru, up there.

The exit.

POTENTIAL LANDING IMPACT WARNING

Tae!

Are you okay? Tae?

Thanks, Fusata.

Are you okay, Tae?

I'm sorry, Zuru. The spare battery.

We'll be in trouble when we get back.

It's just one battery.

Everyone'll be thrilled if we come back with some sludge. Come on.

Zuru.

Zuru, what are you doing? Hurry.

A Builder!

Don't worry.

These guys don't pay any attention to humans.

Okay, let's go. We're almost there.

It's making more weird stuff.

Let's go, Tae.

Whoa, this is...

I've never seen a place so big.

WARNING

A watchtower!

That's why the grown-ups told us not to come here.

Well, that's it. Let's go home.

Make sure the watchtower doesn't see us.

And how are we supposed to

get to the hunting grounds while avoiding that huge thing?

Let's take another route.

We'll go through here.

It's a big detour.

There's tons of obstacles in the way.

Well, it can't be helped. Come on.

If the Safeguard appeared in a place like this...

We've been trained as Electro-Fishers, too, you know.

Sutezo said that Zuru's already as skilled as a

full-fledged Electro-Fisher.

But we took this equipment without permission.

Pop is definitely gonna be mad.

Zuru, I'm sorry.

What? Tae?

You said it was for my sister's sake, right?

For us to go out hunting alone like this.

It's not just for Ito.

After all, there's almost nothing left to eat in the village.

Thanks, Zuru.

We did it.

Look, over there.

Look at all the bugs!

It's the sludge pipes!

Wait!

It's no good.

It's totally dried up.

But it's such a thick pipe.

Zuru.

The watchtower?

The Safeguard!

Exterminators!

Yaichi! Above you!

Retreat!

Run!

Everyone, stay calm! Remember our training, lure them in

then shoot!

Did you hear that, Shizu? Lure them to me!

I can't get them off me!

Shizu!

Damn it!

Shiro! Everyone!

Tae!

Zuru!

More!

Zuru!

Are you okay?

Zuru!

Yeah, this is no...

Wait, Fusata.

It stopped.

Take off your headgear.

I want to see your eyes.

Hey. Zuru.

Zuru!

We're still in the watchtower's view!

NET TERMINAL GENE NON-CARRIER

Why?

The watchtower didn't react

even when she took her helmettals off?

Hey! Tae!

NET TERMINAL GENE NON-CARRIER

Are there

any humans here with the Net Terminal Gene?

Net Termi...?

What?

You saved us... so I wish we could do something to help you in return

but we don't know what it is you're talking about.

Wait. One of the grown-ups might know something.

But before that, please, tell us.

What are you?

I'm Killy.

A human.

Our village is inside the perimeter up ahead.

We'll be fine once we get back there.

Perimeter.

That's the one place the Safeguard can't enter.

We don't know why, though.

SIGNAL BLOCKED

THREAT LEVEL -LOW

See, that's the perimeter up ahead.

Stop! Zuru, get away from him!

Sutezo, wait!

Why are you all showing your faces? You'll be spotted by the watchtower!

That's because when we're with him, it's okay.

Who is this guy?

Mr. Killy rescued us.

He's human!

Human?

He can't be.

Human, you say?

Isn't he a Safeguard?

I've heard there are Safeguards that look just like humans.

Right, Pop.

Just three of you, huh?

I'm sorry. The Exterminators...

That's why we told you, Zuru, you guys can't do it on your own!

But then you went and took that gear without our permission anyway.

At any rate, it's dangerous to stay out here.

Hurry and get inside the perimeter.

Pop!

So, he's not a Safeguard.

Yeah.

Are you a traveler?

Where did you come from?

NET TERMINAL GENE NON-CARRIER

Below...

6000

levels.

Six thousand.

There's no way.

We'll talk more inside.

Come on.

Pop!

That's our village.

At the most, there were about 400 people living here.

But now there are only about 150.

If you're a traveler, we welcome you.

That's our custom.

Although you're a first for our generation.

The first person we've welcomed into our village from the outside.

We Electro-Fishers are descended from people called Planters

who apparently wandered through the city like you.

It's said that they found this place about 300 years ago.

So, we've lived inside the perimeter ever since.

So, it's rare for us to meet any strangers.

In the city,

there must be other humans managing to survive.

But we have no idea how many there are

or where to find them.

We don't know anything.

So, any stories we could hear from a traveler would be precious.

Pop, have you ever met a human?

No. I've only found the remains

of places where humans lived.

Pop.

Pop and the others are back!

Hey! The kids are with him!

Hey! The kids are back!

What's that?

Pop and Sutezo brought the kids back!

How many kids? All of them?

No, not all of them.

And there's someone strange with them.

What do you mean, someone strange?

Well...

Welcome back, Pop.

Pop.

Just you guys?

Where are the other three?

And their gear? Did you leave that, too?

What about the helmettals? Weren't you at least able to bring the helmettals back?

Damn it.

You know we don't have the tech to make that stuff anymore.

What about food?

It was all dried up.

It's enough that three of them came back alive.

Oh, well, in another month, we'll all starve anyway.

Hey, Pop.

Who's that?

He's a traveler.

He's a traveler?

So, there really are other humans out there.

Can we trust him?

If he's a traveler, we'll welcome him.

But we don't have anything to feed him.

He's not a Safeguard, is he?

A Safeguard wouldn't be able to get in here.

Don't go near him.

NET TERMINAL GENE NON-CARRIER

MALNOURISHED

No!

There's something drawn on it.

A bucket of water?

This is pretty good.

It must be really nutritious.

Give me some.

Hey, let me have some.

This is great! This'll give you energy.

Pop, Sutezo.

Pop.

Tae.

Here.

This much?

There's some for your sister.

Thank you.

Zuru, Fusata.

I'm glad you're back.

But don't do anything like that again, okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm sure you already know,

but people looked for a new hunting ground before

and they were all killed by the Safeguard.

The group that went east was taken out completely.

That's why these guys

thought they had to do something for the village.

Zuru.

When you've put the equipment back, come to my room.

Okay.

Sutezo, let's go. Right.

You come, too, please. I'd like to speak with you.

Your name was Killy, right?

Thanks for sharing your food with us.

Normally we'd be the ones feeding you...

but as you can see, we're nearly out of food.

Hey.

Where did you get that thing?

Two hundred levels

below. Two hundred?

So, we can't go get more.

This place is protected by the perimeter,

but there's nowhere inside where we can get food.

So, we Electro-Fishers go out

and get sludge to bring back.

I'm the leader of the Electro-Fishers.

But the hunting grounds near here have all dried up

and we have to go out farther.

Each time, friends of ours get killed

leaving us with fewer and fewer Fishers.

So, even the children...

Here. Come in.

That food is amazing.

Wonder where he got something like that. Yeah.

And that weapon. To think it could cut through even an Exterminator's body.

Six thousand levels below.

I wonder if he came all that way all alone.

Who knows.

I wonder how many more humans there are.

Maybe there are other villages like this one.

There might be.

I can't even imagine it.

How far do you think this city stretches?

Why does the Safeguard exterminate humans?

I've never even thought about that.

We really don't know anything.

THREAT LEVEL

So, according to Zuru, you took out four Exterminators at once.

It would really help to have someone skilled like you around.

Would you consider staying here for a while to help us hunt?

I'm... looking for humans with

the Net Terminal Gene.

Net Termi...?

What's that?

All humans had it

before the contagion.

Before the contagion.

You're talking about a time when the city belonged to humans.

It's said the Builders

and the Safeguard followed the humans' orders back then.

Such an ancient legend.

What's that supposed to mean?

The city belonging to humans.

Are you saying that if we had that Net Terminal Gene thing

we could stop the Safeguard?

Not only that,

we could give orders to the Builders

and make them stop building on their own.

We could stop the expansion of the city.

But there's no way there's anything like that here.

Well...

I've actually heard of it before.

That Net Terminal thing.

I'd long since forgotten about it,

but hearing him speak of it reminded me.

I know I've heard that phrase before, a long time ago.

But where?

Right below this village.

A place inside the perimeter,

but we've been told for generations not to go near it.

You don't mean... the Rotting Shrine?

My Gran always told me never to go near it

because there's a ghost there scarier than the Safeguard.

Sutezo. Do you really believe that?

Hey, you!

Right below...

the village.

He's planning to go there.

Sutezo, follow him.

Tell him to wait. I'll show him the way. Right.

I'm going, too!

Hurry.

Gran said...

that if you go near the Rotting Shrine

a stranger interrupts your communications

and their voice can control you like a puppet.

Quit telling stories.

My own great-grandfather fell to his death because of that...

according to Gran.

Over there.

What's that? Look!

Net

terminal

connection.

I...

Cibo.

Come out.

Is someone there?

I've waited for so long.

It talked.

I've been calling for help all this time, but no one came.

It was so long, until you came.

I waited for 17 million 526 thousand hours.

What's your name?

Killy.

I'm Cibo.

I'm a scientist.

Nice to meet you, Killy.

So, a scientist

really did survive.

That's a Gravitational Beam Emitter, right?

Quite an impressive gun.

That's the one technology that even we couldn't re-create.

Where did you find it?

I don't know about the gun.

NET TERMINAL GENE NON-CARRIER

There are vestiges of the contagion in your irises.

You... don't have the Net Terminal Gene.

What sort of stupid thing is that to say? Of course I don't.

Do you know

any humans who have the Net Terminal Gene?

If there were any humans like that

then this city would have been made functional again ages ago.

But I've got something good.

Killy, take me to the automated factory.

Automated factory?

What's that?

Who knows.

If you take me to the automated factory

I'll make you a synthetic terminal that has the same effect

as the Net Terminal Gene.

You don't believe me, do you?

But it's true.

That thing there,

that's actually the wreckage of a synthetic terminal that I made.

There's a connection port beneath it.

When we found a connection port to the Netsphere here

we surrounded the area with an electric barrier to keep the Safeguard

from invading, and started experiments.

To keep the Safeguard from invading?

The experiments were successful.

We got all the way to the entrance to the Authority.

But then we were found by their defense mechanisms,

and you can see what happened.

Did you... communicate with the Authority?

No, we couldn't.

But we analyzed information

coming through the counter-current and found a channel we can use to get in.

So, given another chance,

I can definitely succeed.

I have no idea

what she's talking about.

Hey, you!

Yes?

Just now

you said you did something to keep the Safeguard from invading, right?

Does that mean you set up this perimeter?

That's right.

How exactly did you do a thing like that?

Killy, move that rubble out of the way.

That's an electric barrier generator I made.

Thanks to that, we ran our experiments

without interruptions by the Safeguard.

Connect?

If you can do that

you can give orders to the city?

That's right.

Long ago, all humans had the Net Terminal Gene

and they could all do it.

I can't believe it.

How could humans do a thing like that?

But it's true, they really could.

We tried to re-create that ability artificially using machines.

To stop the city running wild.

If we go to the automated factory I can make another terminal.

Come on, Killy.

Your goal is the same as mine, isn't it?

You want to bring the city back under human control, right?

Yes.

Then it's decided.

Let's go right away!

Hey, wait.

Where is this automated factory thing?

In a section far east of here.

About 15 blocks away.

Fifteen blocks.

That'd take two or three days.

Could we help as well?

Pop. Sutezo.

What these people are trying to do might end up saving our village.

Did you really believe all of that?

Either way, things are growing worse in the village.

It won't be long before we make a decision

to leave the perimeter or stay inside and starve.

So... don't you think it's worth taking a chance?

That may be so,

but if we go east for 15 blocks

the batteries in our equipment probably won't even last long enough,

and we can't get that far without being caught by the Safeguard.

All the more reason.

No matter how strong this man is,

there's no guarantee that even he could reach that far alone.

But if we can help him, even a little...

True. it might be better to have more people with us.

But we'll need to take food along for the trip

and there's already so little left.

At the automated factory we can make anything.

If we get there I'll make you anything you want.

Anything?

Yes, even food, anything you like.

Really?

Killy.

To be honest, we don't even understand

half of what she's saying.

But...

we'd like to take a chance with you, and her.

Hurry! Aren't there any more spare batteries?

Take as many spears as you can! We need one more person!

Leave some to defend the village. Do we have enough helmettals?

Stop stalling, all of you.

Hey, Zuru!

We'll be fine as long as we're with Killy.

Let's go. Follow me.

Yes, sir.

What is that?

I heard they found it at the Rotting Shrine.

Is that thing really alive?

Yes, I'm alive.

Hey, Sutezo. Is it true?

Will she really make us food if we take her to this

automated factory place?

I told you, don't ask me.

It's true.

I can make thousands of the portable rations

like the kind Killy had.

Thousands?

How wonderful if that's true.

Pop, is it really safe

to believe what this thing says?

If you have a problem with my decision then go back right now.

I don't have a problem.

Right?

I never had a problem to begin with.

Shut up and walk.

Pair up and get in a circular formation.

Don't leave much space between you.

Yes, sir.

There was no need for you to come along, Tae.

My sister's doing better thanks to the food that Killy gave us.

I need to repay him.

And also, wherever Zuru goes

I go with her.

Tae.

Things must be desperate for us to be bringing these children along.

To be honest,

there aren't many of us left who can use the Electro-Fisher gear.

A watchtower!

Hey.

Is that what's doing it?

What is this place?

Hey, Killy.

You're not going to just leave me somewhere on the way, are you?

Killy.

Killy's metabolism is different from normal humans'.

He very rarely needs to eat.

Well, what about you?

I'll pass.

But I appreciate the thought.

Were you scared?

Yeah. But I'm fine.

When those Safeguards come

the air around them stinks of ions.

It's like, you know,

your nose kind of stings.

Did you smell it?

I was so frantic

I don't really remember.

Actually, I think I kind of did.

Now that you mention it, there was a weird smell.

I see.

That's the type of thing you have to experience to understand.

Yeah.

Remember this.

When Electro-Fishers camp

we always light a fire like this and sleep beside it.

It's the way we've always done it.

Why?

Because

we're on edge all day when we're out hunting.

It's said that

the sight of fire is soothing to humans.

I'm sure that's been true since long ago.

Since long before the city came to this state.

At the end of the day people would watch the fire

to put themselves at ease.

I've waited for so long.

There were others with me before

but they all passed away.

No one knows how long the city has been like this.

One day the contagion just suddenly started

and humans lost the power to connect with the city.

After that, the city started to expand at random

and the Safeguard regarded humans as illegal residents

and began to exterminate us.

I was the chief scientist of Kaito, a district far away from here.

In that district

we'd excavated some information from the remains of the city

and managed to use it

to preserve human life.

But we knew

it couldn't last for long.

My group of scientists

found a way to simulate the Net Terminal Gene.

My coworkers and I

set out in search of another place with a connection port.

And that's where we found it.

Along our journey

one, then another of us died.

Even the ones who managed to reach there, during the experiment they all...

I'm sure Kaito is gone now, too.

The automated factory is through here.

Pop.

Yeah.

No one who's gone this way

has ever come back.

They must have been caught by the defense net.

But with me and Killy here you'll be okay.

You heard her.

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

This is the entrance of the automated factory.

There are still automated factories like this here and there around the city.

This is the closest one to your village.

It opened!

You were able to connect?

You don't need to be able to connect to the Netsphere for something like this.

What are those?

So, this is what they call a factory.

What are these pool things?

Killy, put me on that console.

INITIATE

Look!

Yes!

Now we'll never have to worry about food again!

Yeah!

Zuru, look! it's amazing.

Yeah.

STAND BY

Killy, can you hear me?

I'm having a little trouble.

Take that synthetic terminal and get ready to escape.

I still can't move yet.

Be careful.

I dug in pretty deep. Last time this happened things went very badly.

Is that one of those synthetic terminals you told us about, Cibo?

With that, we can stop the city, right?

Hey, you.

Pop!

Retreat in two groups. The cargo team goes first.

Fighters, draw them in and take them out.

Yes, sir. Cargo team, hurry!

Tae!

Hurry!

Exterminators! So many.

Tae!

Forget your pack, just come!

But...

Tae!

Zuru!

Hurry!

Here they come.

Lure them in first.

Right.

Cibo!

Retreat!

Incredible.

We're going!

Hurry!

Tae! Can you hear me? Tae! Tae! Where are you?

Damn it!

Atsuji! Are you okay? My leg.

Where's Tae?

Where?!

Up there. She was crushed by an Exterminator.

Zuru!

Zuru! No!

Zuru! Zuru!

Tae! Tae!

Tae.

Thank goodness.

Zuru.

I'm sorry, I'm okay now.

Tae, are you okay?

Yeah.

Tae!

Thank goodness.

Man, you're so reckless.

Sorry.

Are you all okay? You're not hurt?

Tae's arm is broken.

Tae, can you move?

All right, let's go. Yes, sir.

Where's Cibo?

She was crushed.

Safeguard!

They're still crawling around.

They keep coming!

Hey, you! Fire that weapon from before!

What's wrong with you?

Why don't you shoot?

Sorry I'm late.

I've come to rescue you, Killy.

Who?

Cibo?

That barrier coating only lasts 30 seconds.

Run.

Hurry!

I'm done for.

You go on.

What are you saying, Atsuji? Run!

Get in this car.

Hurry!

It's not broken?

I'm making it work now.

Can't we go yet? Just a moment.

There we go.

Here we go.

It moved!

All right.

I'm out of spears.

I've got two left.

I have one more.

I have two.

Don't give up!

Killy, we'd finally gotten the synthetic terminal and everything.

It's a shame.

INTERIOR POWER GENERATION ACCELERANT

DANGER

Killy.

Killy!

Why is this guy so heavy?

POWER SETTING ENERGY SAVING MODE

We're almost at the village. Yeah.

Does it hurt?

I'm fine.

Tae.

They're back! Pop and the others!

Hey, bring out the crane. Time to unload!

Welcome back.

Welcome back, Pop.

How did it go? Did you find the food?

Hey, take that down below.

Yes, Pop.

Don't worry, I'll take her.

Okay. They're injured.

Get the molecular tape!

She's an awfully big girl.

Is that the person who looked like a corpse before?

Is he dead?

I don't know.

Bring it around slowly.

It's pretty heavy.

This girl sure is strong.

Killy's fine. He's just sleeping.

Take him inside.

Right.

With all this, we should be fine for four or five months.

So, it was worth gathering all the equipment.

We can finally eat till we're full!

How many died altogether?

So, two more good workers died.

Finally!

Real food and drink at last!

Bring down the lights.

For everyone we've lost

over the last two years...

a moment of silence.

Pop.

Thanks.

Give me another one, too.

You're drinking too much.

I wanna drink.

We finally get to mourn properly.

Yeah.

For a while there we couldn't even afford to do that.

But now we've got food, the village is saved.

But at a high cost.

We lost a lot of skilled Electro-Fishers

and equipment as well.

Can't we just go back to that automated factory place?

You can make anything there, right?

No.

No, we can't go back there again.

It's crawling with Exterminators.

I see.

So... we have to see how long this food lasts.

Killy.

They say the village is saved.

Everyone's really happy.

If Cibo's experiment is successful...

will you still

continue your journey, Killy?

Hey, Killy.

Do you think maybe...

you could stay?

Cibo.

Killy.

POWER SETTING

The synthetic terminal.

I'm going to connect it now. There's something I'd like your help with.

Wait.

What are we gonna do now, Pop?

Now we just pray that Cibo's experiment works.

If it does, we won't have to live in fear of the Safeguard anymore.

I really can't wrap my head around it.

Around what?

The idea of humans connecting to machines.

I mean, it's like...

They say the Builders and the Safeguard will do what the humans say.

That's a good thing, right?

But why did people want to do that in the first place?

I don't want to live long enough to find out.

You sure eat a lot.

Well, you earned it.

No, it's not for me.

I thought I'd take some to Tae.

Zuru.

I won't be able to move while I'm connected.

I want you to protect me, then.

Oh, Sutezo.

Zuru, looks like he woke up.

You were with Killy, right, Zuru?

Did you talk with him?

No.

Hey.

Zuru!

Oh, Pop.

You're here to help?

I had a bit too much to drink.

I'll take this on the way back to my room.

Zuru.

Wait, Zuru.

How'd it go? Tae was pleased, wasn't she?

She's not in her room.

Tae?

What is it? Tae!

It looks like the shock-absorbing equipment has been destroyed.

Tae!

What's wrong with you?

Tae.

Wait! Don't go near!

Tae.

Tae. Hey!

You are a body that was stolen from us, the Safeguard.

A body.

Do you intend to return?

Answer immediately.

In accordance with the Ordinance

I will destroy you here.

Aim carefully! Lure them in and shoot!

We did it! That was the last one!

Tae.

It can't be.

The Authority!

This is... inside the Netsphere, right?

This is one of the reserve electronic worlds that connects

the Netsphere to base reality.

Reserve.

Please, let me connect to the Netsphere.

The net terminal you used

has just now lost its effectiveness.

No.

The connection to your brain in base reality

will also be cut in just a few nanoseconds.

But you still have time.

Here in the reserve world, time is sped up

so from your relative point of view, time seems extended.

Please, at least stop the Safeguard's attack on that village.

Without an order from someone with the Net Terminal Gene

we, the Authority, cannot take any such action.

You're right.

However, as much as is allowed within this reserve electronic world

I can tell you the coordinates of abandoned levels

that the Safeguard are not currently monitoring.

What's this?

It stores a map of the levels near here.

We cannot take this information out into base reality...

but we do not have any orders to stop you from connecting to it.

Take the injured over there!

Someone help carry them!

Hurry, over here.

Bring the molecular tape!

Fusata.

Shall I wrap it?

Yeah.

Killy.

We were saved thanks to you.

Zuru, what happened to Cibo?

I don't know.

I see.

It's all over.

It's too early to give up.

Wait!

NET TERMINAL GENE NON-CARRIER

Cibo.

Cibo!

My brain is in my arm.

This place has been found out by the Safeguard.

Sooner or later the Exterminators will be back.

Then what should we do?

There's an abandoned level between this one

and the one below it.

There's a descending track to it

to the north of here.

An abandoned level.

It's a place that's been disconnected from the Netsphere.

The Safeguards and Builders won't interfere.

What should we do?

Can we believe her?

If we stay here we'll just be killed by Exterminators.

Pop.

Everyone, get ready to leave.

Let's go, Killy.

Killy.

Come on, let's go back home.

It's scary out here.

We're not going back there again.

The Safeguard found us there.

Pop, I'm sorry.

I...

It's my fault for taking everyone out hunting.

No.

It's all thanks to you.

Wow, Cibo, you can call the railway car!

You shouldn't try to copy me.

MOVEMENT DETECTED ILLEGAL INHABITANT

CONNECTED TO AUTHORITY

Okay, everyone get in.

Can we really get to an abandoned level?

Here, get in. Okay.

Be careful.

That smell.

They're here! Hurry, everyone!

Killy, what are you doing? Hurry and get in!

Killy!

You can't be serious.

What's wrong, Killy?

Killy.

Won't I see you again?

I'm... looking for

the Net Terminal Gene.

I'm closing it now.

That was the last the villagers ever saw him.

After that, my grandmother Zuru led us all in the new land.

You've grown big.

My grandmother

always talked to me about Killy when I was young.

A long time has passed, but...

There's no sign of the city functions returning to normal.

I suppose no one has been found yet with the Net Terminal Gene.

But I believe.

I know that somewhere

he's still out there in that endless city

continuing his search.

Just feel sad history

I feel pain

No one knows it

Hear me? Hear me?

Echoing in

The abyss

Fear

Long time like this

I feel lonely

So far away

I'm crying

Hear me?

Many

Tears

Where is it?

Where is the password?

Here?

I'm standing alone

I don't know why

I'm standing alone

I don't know why

Calling you

Just feel eternity

Do you feel anything?

If you remember

That day of the beginning

Near here?

How far?

Where is the same world?

Near here?

Can't you hear me?

Drift in this world

Can't you hear me?

Drift in this world

Calling you

I'm standing alone

I don't know why

I'm standing alone

Where is it?

The password?
