Do you believe in the existence of gods and demons?

If I was an outright atheist before I entered the apocalyptic vision, like the young people of today, this is the result of the ideological and philosophical education I received and the feedback from reality. Even in the apocalyptic realm, the abundance of monsters and advanced technology cannot shake this notion.

However, in just over a month after my return, in the process of verifying and speculating about the existence of the Doomsday Illusion and its effects, I deeply felt an indescribable force, which was obviously beyond the reach of individual human beings, manifested in the foresight of human reciprocal sexuality, which should have been vague, but which seemed to me to be becoming clear and unambiguous.

It was as if that was the trajectory of fate.

If there is a force in the darkness that dominates this fate, it must be the existence of gods and demons in our mouths. It was a nobler existence than the unknown life called "Demon" that parasitized Sakuya's body.

Tomie just shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm not interested." "But some of them seem to be interesting," she said. ”

I didn't even want to understand what she meant by fun.

Ms. Mayne turned her gaze to me.

"Is this important?" I asked rhetorically.

"Maybe."

She gave a vague answer, and so did I.

"I don't believe in religion, but that doesn't mean I don't have faith."

There was no displeasure in Madam Mayne, and she looked me in the eye until I answered, as if what she really needed was not the answer itself.

"Five years ago, I wasn't much of a psychic medium, just an ordinary psychologist. I studied the psychology of juvenile sex offenses at a psychiatric hospital and provided counselling for prisoners to the local police. ”

Ms. Mayne did not dwell on the subject of faith, she began to reminisce about the past, and Tomie and I listened intently. She is a master storyteller, with a slow but rhythmic tone and rhythm, as if even the most pale story will be tinged with seductive colors. It is worth mentioning that Ms. Mayne has always spoken her native language, and as we later learned, she was known as the "Prophet" and was fluent in as many as 28 languages.

In my opinion, her ability evaluation is not D-class, but it is very close to this level. For ordinary people, mastering two or three languages is already the limit, and it is difficult to be proficient if you do not have a certain talent and location. In realistic evaluation, being proficient in five Chinese languages is enough to be called a "language genius".

"I was deaf at a very young age, my hearing was weakening, and I had several surgeries, but even hearing aids didn't help much, and I ended up in a school for the deaf. Like most patients with acquired disabilities, I was of course sad and had low self-esteem, but it was this ordeal that gave me an advantage in figuring out human behavior and psychology. I have to say that when that happened five years ago, I couldn't hear anything at all, even with my hearing aids. ”

In this way, Ms. Mayne, who is completely deaf, lives in absolute silence, she has her own husband and son, but the success of her career and the love of her family cannot fully compensate for the incompleteness of her own world, and she can only draw solace from her daily faith - God has taken away a part of her world, but does not close all the windows, and she has more happiness than most people.

Until that fateful day, in the midst of another prayer, she heard a voice.

It wasn't a human voice, it was speaking a language she could understand, but her subjective mind could tell that it wasn't any language she'd ever heard. The color and texture of the sound were like stained glass, brilliant and transparent, as if walking in a sanctuary, bathed in the distant and quiet sunlight that had been filtered through the painted windows. It is more sympathetic than the most perfect music in the world, and it seems to be able to see the world depicted by the notes.

The sound was not coming from the eardrums, and it might not be indistinguishable to ordinary people, but for Ms. Mayne, who was already deaf, the sound was directly echoing in her brain.

Like a symphony played in an empty auditorium, it reverberates, vibrates, and the timbres of the front and back squeeze each other, as if countless layers of tones overlap repeatedly. The various characteristics of sound determine that the person who hears it can perceive it at the first time, and this is not the sound of the world.

"That's the voice of God." Mayne said in an assertive tone, but it was not the emotion of the believer when he praised God, and it seemed extremely heavy. She paused, then added, "...... Perhaps, also the voice of the devil. ”

She was hesitant about the position of the voicer, and it was clear that it was not something that would bring anything good.

"It tells me that the end of the world is near. This is something that has already been decided, but just as Noah's Ark will appear before the Flood, there will be a glimmer of life this time. But, again, only a very small number of the chosen ones will survive. ”

"The Chosen One?" Tomie said as if talking to himself, "Doomsday Vision, the Chosen One? ”

Miss Mayne shook her head.

"It's not that simple, keep listening to me."

After being told of the doomsday prophecy, Ms. Mayne went to check the information, and it turned out to be consistent with the 1999 doomsday prophecy left by Nostradamus. Although she wanted to take these coincidences as a joke, the power of her voice made it impossible not to care.

The voice that did not reveal her identity told her in the following days that in order to supervise and guide the actual arrival of the end and the self-redemption of all living things, there would be a being called "Doomsday Agent" who could make further contact with humanity.

He stayed in a world called "Doomsday Fantasy".

Doomsday Fantasy is a special place, located at the junction of reality and fantasy, and the gap between earth and hell. It exists to screen the assistants of the "Doomsday Agents", and at the same time it is also the key to salvation and a temporary base for cultivating "people who open and end the Doomsday".

The voice gives Lady Mayne a way to open the door to Doomsday, telling her that, for whatever reason, those who enter Doomsday will be tested as the "Chosen One". It was an extremely dangerous world, and only those who survived could become seeds. But the Chosen and the Chosen ones who can take the Ark of Doom are not equated, they are just the existence of seeds, helpers, and keys as mentioned above.

And the only person who can open the door to the apocalyptic illusion is a psychic like her, that is, a real medium.

"Mediums will only truly exist when gods and demons are identified."

"Mediums do not exist to speak to spirits, but to communicate their will to gods or demons."

"Whether it is a god or a demon, it will only appear when the world is doomed to destruction and redemption."

"What's even cruel is that they always appear together, so much so that we can't tell where the sound is coming from."

"What they do seems to be relative, but they must be the same."
