[I]Logical (In Rework Time)

This slit rule

I followed Olivia, we walked towards the village in question.

"Hey Olivia, we're at the bottom of the ravine right now, so by walking we can get to the village?"

Olivia turned to look at me.

"Oh about that. We went down the cliff, and the village was lower than us, actually this forest is at the same height as the village"

What kind of explanation it is, I still don't really understand the situation. I'm trying to understand what Olivia said.

"Here," Olivia showed me a knife.

"What's this?"

"Something I got in the car we used before." Olivia put it in my hand, "This is Ontario MK 3."

"...." - ".I still don't understand what that means.

"This is a knife used by the United States Navy, it's a very sharp knife, so make sure not to take it out of the sheath unless it's precarious."

"I'm not a kid, you don't have to say that."

Olivia looked at me with an unconvinced look, "Yes whatever, I'm just saying." After that we continued our journey.

We walked quite far, if my calculations were not wrong we had walked for about 1 hour. Our walking speed is about 3-5 kilometers per hour. The whole journey we both just kept quiet, we didn't say a single word.

We don't talk but I don't really care about it. It's just that something's wrong, I'm looking around. From behind the trees I could see the road we passed before, the distance from the top to the bottom was about seven to ten meters.

Come to think of it again I should have received the wound. Even though I managed to do my best to try to hold on to the strange look, there was not even the slightest stain on my shirt.

Suddenly I felt a very strong sense of pressure, it felt like the whole environment around me was really depressing me, not more precisely like I was feeling terror.

"Oliva there's something strange...." Oliva turned around after I said that, his brownish-blonde hair was blown off and then covered his face.

The strong wind stopped, slowly his face began to look. But after her face was seen what I saw was not Olivia, but a broken face.

"...So you've already realized it."

Everything that was here, suddenly disappeared, I was standing in a vacuum. I get confused and look around, it's okay here except me and the strange creature that mimics Olivia.

I stared at the strange creature, slowly drying its body. His body completely dried up, then he laughed out loud.

"HAHAHAHA!!!"

I covered my ears, the voice was really very loud.

After shouting the strange creature turned into tiny particles and disappeared.

What kind of madness is this, what exactly does this all mean.

I was trying to understand the situation, I was trapped somewhere controlled by one of the strange creatures in this world.

"Argh..."

Suddenly I felt pain all over my body, it felt like my body was receiving a huge wound. I look at my body, my hands feel like they are slowly separating.

Not only my hands, but my whole body as well. The pain is unbearable.

There was nothing I could do, my eyes began to blur. I gave up, and from the beginning I had no problem ending up here.

I closed my eyes, my head spinning. My body feels numb, my body seems to disappear little by little.

Brak's...!

My body crashed onto the ground, my consciousness began to recover. I can feel my whole body.

I looked up, there was a living tree. The trunk of the tree was shaped like an angry face. Around there were striking red colored flowers.

I was conscious, but my ears were buzzing. I turned to the left and someone threw something at me, and I saw it.

The shape is not too foreign, I feel like I just saw that thing. There was a gunshot, the shot was directed at the living tree.

I noticed a foreign object that the man threw. I realized it was similar to the previous blade, the blade that appeared while I was....

My body was interested, I immediately stood up to cut off whatever was wrapped around my feet. It was a kind of root, yes no doubt it was the root of this living tree.

I slashed the root with a knife, I slashed it several times until it broke off.

The roots broke off, I immediately tried to move backwards. But the other root caught my left hand immediately, I tried to cut the root but it always got thicker.

How many times have I severed that part of the root, the other root replaced it. The gunshot was still heard, the shot was aimed at the tree trunk.

I concentrated on severing the roots that caught my hand.

Strange thing happened, I saw the root as if it had lines of different colors. There are lines that are red, orange and yellow.

There was no time for this, I immediately slashed the root around the strange lines earlier. I slashed near the red line, and something amazing happened. All of a sudden from where I slashed the knife out like a crack.

I immediately slashed at the same spot before the root regenerated, I slashed at it as hard as I could. The knife split deeply, just like before. There was a crack coming from where I slashed, but this time the effect was no longer a crack. The effect was not just a crack, but like a deep slash mark.

Not only did it happen to the root that wrapped around my hand, but the effect of the incision was until it approached the trunk of the tree. The absurd thing had just happened, how could an incision travel that far.

"There is no time to think about this" I said in my heart.

I immediately ran towards the person who kept shooting at the creature. He stretched out his hand, I did so then he pulled me to run as far as possible.

"Olivia?" I said in a questioning tone after seeing the person who saved me was Olivia.

"Just focus on running as far as possible!" said it.

"I can run by myself" Olivia immediately let go of my hand, I ran after Olivia.

I looked back, the root was chasing. We kept running past the strange red flowers. We continued to run until the red flower was out of sight, I turned my head that the roots were no longer chasing us after getting past the flowers.

When it felt safe, we finally stopped. My legs were shaking, I could barely stand. I immediately laid my body on the ground.

"What the fuck was that?" my many.

"I don't know either" replied Olivia.

"How did you get here?" I asked while breathing heavily. "Let me guess 'So we're down the cliff, and the village is lower than us, actually this forest is at the same height as the village' so you can reach this place."

"Well, how do you know?" ask Olivia wonder.

"This knife," I showed you the knife I was wearing, "This is the Ontario MK 3 NAVY seal."

Olivia nodded, from her face I could tell she was confused as to why I knew.

"You know, before I had a very real hallucination. I followed you but it turns out you're a terrible creature, but what he said fits your mind."

"You didn't eat those flowers, did you?."

I'm shaking. "Red flowers in this place is one of the ingredients for making narcotics. I've seen it when I've been involved in drug busts, I don't know how the flower works. So I thought you ate it and hallucinated, which is why I asked." Olivia explained.

"Not of course not, I wasn't even conscious until my body crashed to the ground. If indeed I fantasize because of the effect of the flower it means it works through smell, but it can know the content of your mind, can talk to your style does not mean that the flower can expose the contents of your head."

Olivia thought about it for a while, "The world has its own rules, something that even our researchers haven't been able to confirm. The possibility that the flower was actually also a creature of this world was very large."

It is true, even without researching further this world does indeed run according to its own rules. No matter how our logic works, this place is a world created by human fantasy. The possibilities are endless, without fulfilling the laws of nature it can happen everywhere.

"Then how can you believe that the current me is the real me?" ask Olivia.

"See, I believe it because you saved your life."

"Although I made you have to kiss the ground when I freed your body from the bonds of that living tree?".

So that's why my body suddenly crashed into the ground, yes whatever it is is is not important. Olivia smiled at me, "You can easily trust the person who helped you apparently."

"... I don't know how you look at me but I'm a man who doesn't like debt, what else is debt."

Olivia nodded, "Yes I understand that," Olivia who had been leaning against the tree stood up, "Then be prepared to walk towards the village."

My breathing was in order, I tried to stand my feet no longer trembling. "I think I'm ready to walk." We immediately headed to the village.

Leaving a sense of wonder what happened when I slashed at the root of the living tree, and Oliva also seemed to be indifferent to it. There's no reason I brought it up.
