His vision became cloudy. It felt like he was driving a car with frosted glass in an unusually cold winter.

『 Who am I? 』

『 I don’t think I know... 』

‘Is this the voice of the black tortoise?’

Bondre’s vision became clear when he realized a new fact. A notification window came up.

Bondre’s brain was activated...
