Although it is not clear what the name of the goth girl is, the other party also said that the name is not important, if there must be a title, it is okay to use the name of the witch legend, but, for the mysterious expert Takakawa, who has experienced a hundred battles, it always feels a little inappropriate to really call each other "witch". In the sociology of normal people, a person's name, including the name given by his parents when he was born, the various titles and nicknames given by the people around him, and even some other jokes or official names he gives himself, are meaningful. In the occult, these names, which are used to characterize one or more things, to distinguish things from things, have a more extraordinary significance.

The importance of this "name" is also very common in the recognition of the world. In some unique cases, words such as "real name and real surname" are even used to express some extremely serious situations.

The field of "names" and "titles" is also the place where Takakawa has seen, and the occult phenomenon is closest to it.

Every time Gao Chuan encounters a mysterious phenomenon, he often starts from the detailed characteristics of the target object to speculate on some information, and in these speculations, starting from the names of people, non-people and things that already exist, as well as the names of others for these people, non-people and things, the information obtained is often more accurate. In one's own experience, what was originally indescribable, inscrutable, and inexplicable, is artificially given a name, or when its name is known, the indescribable, inscrutable, and inexplicable place will "disappear", or "sink", in short, it will become less conspicuous and intense, so that on the surface it will appear something that is slightly understandable, as if it is not so difficult to explain.

Yes, when a name is given, the mystery is not completely debunked, but its mysterious nature becomes restrained, freeing up room for people to deal with it. It's like putting a nuclear reactor in a sealed box, and while the nuclear reaction is still going on, people don't need to deal with the nuclear reaction, they just need to deal with the sealed box. This treatment does not go deep into the essence, but it does solve some problems. After all, it is true that solving problems in essence is the most thorough way, but in terms of actual conditions, not all problems must be solved in essence.

The Goth Maiden is like a nuclear reactor, she uses the witch legend to put a shell on herself, and Takakawa feels that if she acknowledges this shell, then this shell will become stronger for herself. Assuming that the two sides will become enemies, then while switching angles and dealing directly with the shell may solve the problem, it is better not to seal it yourself just in case.

It is precisely in order to give himself the possibility of dealing with it more directly, Gao Chuan has always used the relatively superficial and popular word "goth girl" to call each other.

However, he could do so, but the Three Messengers couldn't. The Goth Maiden is very cautious about dealing with the three messengers, and the way is also very special, and Takakawa still can't find a way to crack it. The legend of the witch has a very special position in the consciousness of the three messengers, and the two messengers except for the driver may have even completed some kind of contract ritual, such as letting the goth girl fulfill her wish or something, and the result of this is naturally to make the relationship between the two and the goth girl more close.

In the occult, this is the most common method used by the devil: the strict contract, the ambiguous and reverie-filled content, and the strong bond that arises after the completion of the contract, and then uses this bond to achieve further goals. It is so advanced layer by layer, and it is described as "even death will not end".

The Three Messengers may well be in a similar situation.

Takakawa carefully observed the three people sitting on the benches motionless like dolls: from left to right, Father Edward, Shitenin Gaco, and the unknown driver. The place where the four of them are now is also extremely special, Gao Chuan can't be sure if he is dreaming, the surrounding large lake is obviously incompatible with the wilderness, diametrically opposed scenery, and the foreign pavilion naturally can't put this lake.

From perceiving the disappearance of the driver, to this dream-like lake, find the strange-looking three. Factors such as environment, candidates, timing, etc., all have a very strong sense of abnormality and suggestiveness.

This will certainly not be a coincidence. Takakawa felt that in the dark, the goth girl was observing everything that was happening now.

She was everywhere, like this fog floating around.

If she were called here, would she react? Gao Chuan couldn't help but think so, but before that, he was still more inclined to observe the situation of the three people in front of him: after a minute, they were really motionless, not only in feeling, but also in more accurate values - a living person, even if he sat and stood quietly, it was impossible not to have the slightest ups and downs, and the natural operation of biological physiology would be reflected in the subtle movements that ordinary people would not pay attention to, and in common sense, the most suitable for the situation of "motionless" was naturally the "corpse".

Motionlessness often means death.

Sometimes, the corpse even moves.

And the situation of the three people in front of him is completely beyond these common sense. However, Gao Chuan felt that they did not die, and the one sitting here was definitely not a specimen. It's just that the three of them are interfered with by some mysterious force, and from their own observations, they can't recognize their movements. To put it simply: they are actually active, but they can't observe it themselves.

Why the Three Messengers are here, why I met them at this moment, all this is not a coincidence, then, it must be under the conscious guidance of the Goth Maiden. So, what exactly does the goth girl want to do?

Gao Chuan touched the coconut of the Four Heavenly Courtyard, from the face to the **** to the abdomen to the legs, and confirmed the activity of this body with his own hands, she was motionless, but she was as warm as ordinary people, with a real, beautiful and delicate touch, which can be described as vibrant. It is expected that Father Edward and the driver are the same, and the reason for not confirming the two of them is simply because their appearance has no desire to be touched.

Even such close contact did not make the Four Heavenly Courtyard Coconuts show active movement—her body would respond to Takakawa's touch, but it was passive, as if unconscious.

Why are you here? What should I do? Takakawa kept thinking. Only one thing is certain, he was just trying to get the driver back at first. And now, he wanted to know more about what had happened to the three of them.

According to the news obtained from the Netball, Father Edward and the Four Heavenly Courtyard Gaconuts were involved in the Las Vegas Repeater Raiders, and the battle there was fierce, and the whereabouts of the two were unknown. Not long ago, the two Gao Chuan met during the voyage of the New Titanic, which made Gao Chuan feel that these two people were already unlucky. More details followed, which seem to prove it.

Unexpectedly, they would appear in Australia, and in this seemingly unharmed way - Gao Chuan stroked the body of the Four Heavenly Yuan Coconut, there was really no trace of injury, and felt its interior through the skin, although it was very different from ordinary people's internal organs, but it also transmitted a strong vitality. There is no doubt that as long as she can move, she is in her prime.

In addition to trying to understand the situation of the Three Messengers, Takakawa is also thinking about another very important question: how to leave this place himself.

As far as the eye could see, there was a large lake around them, and under the shroud of mist, the place where the four of them were located was completely like an isolated island. The Three Messengers sat on a bench on the shore as if looking at something, so what would they encounter as they marched deeper into the land? At least, looking inside from the bench makes it hard to cut through the fog and see what's inside.

Without hints, Gao Chuan could only think for himself.

Takakawa tried to carry the three of them on their shoulders, and he did it easily. He made a raft with the tools he carried with him at all times, as well as the wood that could be found everywhere on the shore, tied up the motionless trio, put them on them, and dragged them inland.

In the past, in an environment surrounded by fog, people often felt flustered, as if they were surrounded by countless dangers, watched by countless malicious eyes, and there were many monsters hidden in it. However, this lakeshore, like the wilderness and the western-style house, has a similar strange but quiet and tranquil temperament. People don't feel at all that something bad will suddenly jump out of the fog.

Takakawa walked for a long time, and the scenery on the land seemed to be repeating itself in the haze of mist, making people feel that they were walking on a recurring road, not an endless road. No matter what direction it takes, it is the same, and it is impossible to find an obvious thing that can act as a sign - faintly, there are trees blocking from both sides, and in any direction, even if there is a sudden turn, the outline of these trees will only be listed from the left and right, and people walking in the path between them do not need to worry about bumping into them, and on the contrary, it is completely impossible to actually walk to the near side of these trees and see them clearly.

Does it make sense? Takakawa thought.

It may not mean anything to me, but it has a different meaning to goth girls.

Going around in circles here, with no end in sight, is in itself like some kind of suggestion, and everything that has a suggestion, whether it is a phenomenon, a process, a past or present, something that has happened or is being experienced, must have meaning, and from the perspective of occultism, as well as the past experience of dealing with various mysterious phenomena:

-- Meaning is the most important thing.

-- Anything that doesn't make sense at all will not appear.

-- There are a large number of things that have a meaning for oneself, but cannot be recognized or recognized by others.

-- Whether from the perspective of the apocalyptic illusion or from the perspective of the reality of the hospital, the world is not so much made up of energy and matter as it is made up of "meaning": from the macro and the micro, from the self to the other, from the metaphysical to the metaphysical, and so on.

Therefore, if you can feel the meaning of the situation you are in, you can often get help in dealing with mysterious phenomena.

However, even with such cognition, how to feel meaning is a very emotional and personal thing. Judging from Takakawa's experience, the accurate rate of estimation is really low, and more often than not, it will only make people not know what to do, and they can only wait in vain for some other phenomenon to emerge in order to break the current situation.

Not knowing what to do, not perceiving what to do is useful, and so, after doing a lot of useless work, can only wait for death in a closed environment without change—there are not a few examples of people who come into contact with mysterious phenomena.

All in all, the situation of having experience, strength, and knowledge, but still not being able to accurately estimate the current situation, and "not knowing what to do", is recognized as one of the most dangerous situations. However, in the aftermath of the fact, it is often not that you can't really do anything, but that your consciousness has a "dead end".

It is not easy to find the "blind spots" in consciousness.

Gao Chuan stopped and went, completely clueless, and only based on the information he could obtain from his own observations, he was wasting his efforts, and what he did was "completely meaningless".

Although he was not tired, he still sat on the raft. Thinking again, he lit a cigarette and said to himself, think again. He felt like he had forgotten something.

Consciousness walking? This is the most extreme approach. The phenomenon presented by one's own consciousness walking is a "bridge", one end on the consciousness of others, and the other end on one's own consciousness. When the "bridge" appears, one's consciousness is also open, unimpeded, and oneself can reach the consciousness of others through the bridge, and vice versa, especially the special environment here, and the owner of the Goth girl, is an old-timer who walks in consciousness, and her ability is unfathomable.

It's too dangerous to actively use consciousness walking. On the other hand, if it is necessary to use consciousness walking to get out of the current predicament, then nine out of ten goals for the goth girl are her own consciousness. Even if it is not a direct intervention, it is to accomplish a certain purpose through the level of consciousness - just like "borrowing the way".

Where can my consciousness lead? Takakawa made a rough calculation, only to think that there would be some expected answers. At the very least, Super Dorothy and the Color Center will perceive it, and then there will be another Takagawa, and even a "virus", or "river". The special case that the Goth Girl finds through the deep dive of the human collective subconscious: Takakawa, is indeed different from other people in the apocalyptic environment.

Gao Chuan knew that he was very special. The special self has become an "interface" that is being peeped at. (To be continued.) )
