Chang Huaien was rolled onto the pages of the book by the black hand stretched out in the "Catalogue of Forbidden Books", and the others saw that the body with only a humanoid silhouette left suddenly disintegrated, turning into a thick liquid and pouring it into the inner pages. Chang Huaien's alienation was too strict, and they realized that if they and the others decided a little later, maybe Chang Huaien would die completely. The somewhat cold decision proved to be necessary and timely in hindsight. The little bit of mustard in Catwoman's heart also disappeared, and she watched the next change with some nervousness, but when the forbidden book catalog was closed, no more phenomena appeared.

The black film on the core of the repeater "Marceau" peeled off, re-transformed into the form of a ragdoll bear, and returned to Dorothy's hands. By this time, Marceau's anomaly had also disappeared, and the distortion had not left a trace on her surface. Regarding Marceau's distortion, everyone present naturally had many doubts, but Dorothy only replied with the statement that "Chang Huaien is abnormally dangerous", which could not provide definite evidence, but for now, it can only be accepted. Not every occult expert can become a consciousness walker, and not every consciousness walker can enter the collective human subconscious, let alone dive to a depth like Chang Huaien and his mentor "wheelchair man", in a world where it is almost impossible to actually observe.

It is precisely because they know that only Chang Huaien and the "wheelchair man" have done such a thing, so they are special.

Although it is possible to infer and speculate on the existence of the "collective human unconscious" from the perspective of scientific theories, if we cannot intuitively experience it, no matter how many theories we know, we will only have the feeling of being "covered by a veil". Not for personal experience. It is never possible to truly understand what kind of bizarre and mysterious things are in the collective subconscious of human beings, and there is no way to personally understand the dangers that Chang Huaien and the "wheelchair man" often face.

Indeed, Chang Huaien's terrifying alienation, the strange death of the "wheelchair man". From this "malignant event" itself, the witnesses are aware of the danger of deep dive into consciousness, but they can only experience the dangers of "alienation" and "death". For occult experts, "alienation" and "death" are commonplace. Only Chang Huaien and the "wheelchair man" themselves can understand how much pain and unimaginable crises are hidden in this process of "alienation" and "death".

Misfire and others can't stop Chang Huaien and the "wheelchair man" from going on an adventure. It is precisely because only in this kind of behavior can only they grasp the risks and opportunities involved, even if it is the Prophet Mayne, even if it is a powerful demonic messenger like Wandering Fire, in the realm of consciousness walking, all are just "laymen", if they start by their will. To lead the actions of Chang Huaien and the "wheelchair man" is the behavior of the layman leading the insider. The end result must be more than worth the loss.

People like Drifter understand the importance of "professional affairs are judged and handled by professionals", but understanding the truth can sometimes be painful. In the face of the resulting tragedy, people can only accept it, but cannot prevent it.

After the death of the "wheelchair man", in less than a month. Chang Huaien, who inherited his mantle, also fell into this situation of "living" in the sense of human beings. Witnessing his body collapse into a puddle of liquid and pour into the catalogue of forbidden books, the mixed tastes in his heart were no longer enough to describe the sadness of those who witnessed it.

"That's it?" After waiting for a while, there was no further abnormality. Catwoman couldn't help but ask.

"The transformation has begun, and Chang Huaien is actually quite lucky, at least, luckier than his mentor." Omi pushed his glasses and said, "The adjustment of the internal environment of the repeater has come to an end, and the construction of the overall environment has been completed, and only the details are left...... To put it simply, we have managed to acquire a 'holy place'. She smiled, and when she said the word "holy land", it was like a mockery, everyone here understood the meaning of "holy land", and in the "Heavenly Gate Project" of the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion, this word appeared repeatedly and had extremely strong religious meaning. Although the research and judgment of the "Tianmen Project" and the ultimate goal of the Doomsday Shinrikyo plan have actually gone far beyond the superficial purpose of the plan of "establishing the Holy Land", the "Holy Land" is still an extremely critical and indispensable part of the entire "Tianmen Project".

For the Internet ball, he and even NOG have obtained such a "holy land", which is undoubtedly the embodiment of the overall strength, which is closer to the Doomsday Shinrikyo Religion. If it weren't for witnessing Chang Huaien's "alienation", everyone's mood might be clearer, and even the clouds that had permeated their hearts due to the recent "Nazi" invasion and the ominous prophecy would have been swept away.

Building repeaters, controlling repeaters, and completing the construction of the "Holy Land", so as to obtain the foundation of a protracted war within a foreseeable range, and retain the possibility of "retaining room for counterattack in the worst-case scenario", this is a key, important and precious summary of the past sacrifices and efforts made by Cyberball for so many years. The meaning of it is dà, and it is no longer something that can be described by just one or two sentences of "too good". At this point, the mood of walking on thin ice can finally be put down, because he knows that the cyberball, NOG and even human beings finally have a cornerstone to face the "end times".

"It is precisely because the general environment construction has been completed, so even if Chang Huaien becomes like this, he can rely on the internal environment of the repeater to continue to exist." Omi thought for a moment and said, "From the perspective of Chang Huaien's duties, it is actually theoretically best for him to become like this and then integrate into the repeater. If he has maintained a normal and stable personality consciousness and physical body, he may suffer more when he integrates into the repeater, and the success rate will drop by at least 30%. ”

"In other words, although Chang Huaien has become like this, from a long-term perspective, it is actually beneficial?" The rhetorical question was very straightforward, causing Catwoman to roll her eyes.

"From a purely technical point of view, it can be understood this way. But it's ...... in terms of human feelings," Omi said calmly.

"Ah, Omi, do you also understand human feelings?" Catwoman stabbed such a sentence, but it was not a mockery, Omi's usual appearance was well known.

"I've always been strict with myself as a great scientist." Omi was not angry, but smiled disdainfully. "It is precisely because he is a great scientist that he understands human feelings better than mortals, both intellectually and emotionally. Because, it can't be done. It is impossible to leverage the power of human society to serve its own research. ”

Catwoman pursed her lips, although Omi said it politely and made people feel a little narcissistic, but she really couldn't refute it, because she also felt that this was the case. Omi is the only one she has ever seen, the most powerful black technology researcher, although there are such and such differences from ordinary people in personality, but when doing things. But it will not touch the bottom line in the hearts of the people who work with it. If you want to talk about human touch, there will always be a little bit at a critical time, and people have to be grateful to Dade.

"When can we meet Chang Huai'en?" He waited very calmly until the battle between the two women was over, and when he didn't speak, he was like an invisible person. He has always been very calm because he knows how to handle things well. Including when two women have a verbal fight.

"Right now." Omi said, "The concept of time inside the repeater is out of sync with the outside world. ”

"I know, the concept of time in consciousness. It's always been anomalous. Catwoman interjected, and her mood seemed much better than before.

"Inside the repeater is not a pure world of consciousness." Omi's calm explanation made Catwoman a little stunned, "It's hard for me to put the essence into words, but as long as you go in." You can feel it. If I had to describe it, it was like the 'gray particle', which is an intermediate state between matter and consciousness. Inside, there is a world of complete self-circulation, dominated by consciousness. However, because of the guidance of the subconscious and common sense, it is expressed in a materialistic way. When you go in, you don't feel any difference from the outside world in terms of materiality. If a person is knocked unconscious, taken inside, and then awakened, I am afraid that he will only feel that he has entered a parallel material world, not a strange world of consciousness-" At this point, Omi paused and said, "Actually, it is better for you to think of it as a huge hedge space in the style of another ruling bureau." The Doomsday Shinrikyo Heaven's Gate Project was an attempt to build a new ruling bureau of its own. So, what we can do in the end, it doesn't make much difference. ”

"That is, we can enter it in a carnal way?" Catwoman was really surprised this time, although she had always been prepared to participate in the repeater, but what kind of "holy place" the repeater would become, she couldn't get a glimpse of it from the part of the thing she was responsible for. Although I have also thought of the "ruling bureau", it is indeed difficult for people to feel the origin of the nature of a superweapon that is obviously involved in "mystery" at the level of "human collective subconscious".

"Is your head okay?" Omi's puzzled gaze made Catwoman feel a sharpness, "If you can't maintain the original materiality of things, how can you use it as a core base?" If you enter into it, you have to completely abandon materiality, so what is the difference between it and death in common sense? ”

Catwoman laughed dryly twice, in fact, she understands the truth, but it is still difficult to recognize these truths as a matter of course and experience the truth of this truth. Just as ordinary people look at the occult, although they will also imagine and even find some clues that seem to prove the existence of "mystery", if they do not experience "mystery" themselves, they will only stay on the surface of "imagination" and "speculation" in the end, and when they really experience "mystery", they will be able to accept it immediately and completely because they have "guessed" and "imagined" in the past, and it is almost impossible to appear. In other words, it is only by being rationally and emotionally thoroughly brought into the imaginary environment of the "mysterious" existence that one can so quickly accept the fact that the "mysterious" exists in the zài. However, such a person, when faced with the calm and unmysterious daily life, will feel that the daily life is an illusion, an illusion, and there are quite obvious signs of "mental illness".

Therefore, from a certain point of view, a person who can accept the situation immediately and without hesitation when the "mysterious" appears is 100% mentally abnormal, which cannot be explained by "very high mental quality". "There is no barrier to the non-awareness" and "mental and physical strength" are fundamentally two different things.

Catwoman is well aware of the difference, so she doesn't care about Omi's piercing gaze, but feels it. Her surprise proved that she was a normal person, and Omi in front of her did have a mental problem - she deliberately ignored the fact that the other party often dealt with repeaters and had long been accustomed to the strange phenomenon of repeaters.

What's there to be angry with a mentally ill person? She comforted herself. But actually. There are many doctors in psychiatric hospitals who are made angry by patients, and whether a person is angry or not will not make a difference because the other person is "mentally ill".

"Okay. You're the one who understands. I know. Catwoman raised her hands in surrender and said, "Since we can see him at once, let's not waste time." I also wanted to see what the inside of the repeater really looks like, which is a joint achievement. Speaking of which, the Las Vegas operation also needs to go inside the repeater - if only our repeater could have been done earlier, so that they can experience the environment they need to face in advance. I haven't experienced it firsthand. It is always unstable to act according to the theory step by step. ”

"Yes, they have a lot of difficulties to overcome. Even the plans we provide are only on paper. "It's a lot harder to hack a repeater than it seems," he admits. The so-called plan was just to keep them from being confused from the beginning. In my judgment, if they really act according to plan. Well, now it's out of order. This time Chang Huai'en asked. There is an 80 percent chance that the source came from Las Vegas. The biggest culprit is the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion. ”

"And add 'Takakawa'." Dorothy, who had been listening quietly, interjected. Her calmness, as if she had said something she had seen with her own eyes, in fact, she had indeed "seen it with her own eyes", and. Quite one of the participants, however, none of this has been observed by anyone else, "The rest, in general, is the same as the judgment of the fire." There is indeed a problem over there, but the overall progress is still within the estimated range. ”

"Takakawa...... That Takakawa? Catwoman glanced at the fire, this man's judgment is really a little creepy, obviously "mysterious" is unpredictable, but the number of times he makes mistakes because of this unpredictability is really pitiful, should it be said that the vision is accurate, or is it fate? The only mistake that it admits is that not long ago, in the preparation for the establishment of NOG, but it has been adjusted back in time, and it does not hurt.

"Yes, it's that Takakawa, a young Takakawa." "He's very strong, and he has his own program of action," Dorothy said. ”

"I know, that's why I let him join Las Vegas Raiders." "Did he part ways with the team?" That's all, it's expected. Actually, I was hoping that he could go to Area 51 earlier and take Novsky with him. However, I think he is a trustworthy man, and as long as he can leave Las Vegas alive, he will definitely bring Nofsky with him. ”

"Novsky, the child of destiny?" Catwoman asked.

"Yes." Dashing glance at Prophet Mayne, who was already calmly lying in his rocking chair, "Lady Mayne's prophesied child of destiny...... Since there is such a title, even if it seems to be just idle people and so on now, there is nothing special about it, but at a critical time, it should work. ”

"So you want to bring him here? How do you know that it won't backfire? Catwoman asked rhetorically.

"No, letting that Gao Chuan bring him over is just a temptation. The purpose is to verify the particularity of Gao Chuan and the so-called child of destiny, as well as the direction of fate. "If a qiēshun lì, it represents a possibility; And if there is a difference pool, depending on the details, it can also represent a possibility. My judgment needs to be collected in order to be as complete as possible. ”

"So, in fact, you don't care at all about whether Takakawa can really bring Novsky, and where the Child of Destiny will fall?" Catwoman has some understanding, but there is still a haze that prevents her from fully understanding the behavior of the fire.

"Yes, everybody will go where he is supposed to go and do what he will do in his destiny." Wandering lowered his eyes and said, "I'm the same, I can't control my own fate, but I can involve the fate of others." In fact, in this world, everyone interferes with each other, from what he can observe, what he can understand, and what he cannot observe. The perspective that cannot be understood is to complete the macro communication with the things around them. As long as there is zài motion, there will be a collision. Forcibly changing the trajectory of the movement, many times, will only be counterproductive, but. If you just judge its trajectory and then exploit loopholes, it's still okay. ”

"You're saying something profound." Catwoman shrugged.

"Really? That's a shame. In this world, there are always too few bosom friends. Gone Huo said with a smile.

"I still think that I should have done everything I could to keep that Gao Chuan." Dorothy said, "Aren't you worried about him getting the repeater?" ”

"I also think that his own plan is probably to use the Las Vegas strategy to get a repeater for himself." Misfire restricts smile. "At first, I didn't think I should let it go. But, then I figured it out. The Las Vegas repeater, no matter who it falls into, is better than in the hands of the Nazis and Shinrikyo of Doom. Since everyone admits that Takakawa is very strong, judging from Dorothy's attitude, you think there is a high chance that he will eventually get the repeater. So. Why should I stop it? He is not a Doomsday Shinrikyo man, nor is he a Nazi man. His origins are somewhat mysterious, but he is who he is. I can see that he is independent, and different from everybody—"

"So, there are people who are so strong that they become opponents of Doomsday Shinrikyo and the Nazis. Even if NOG's team fails, there is him as insurance. Dorothy said in a dull tone, "Do you really think that's a good thing?" Fire. ”

"Yes." Offfire replied without hesitation.

“…… Unfortunately, this will be your biggest mistake. Dorothy said, "You're always going to make mistakes in the things that Takakawa is involved in, and that's what happened when NOG was founded. This time too. However, you can't be blamed for this, because Gao Chuan is an anomaly within an anomaly, a deviation within a deviation, and compared to him, the so-called deviant guys of Torchlight are just jokes. ”

Dorothy's statement made others a little hard to believe, but the fire herself fell into deep thought.

"If that's the case, there's no way to prove my limit." Drifting finally shook his head, "In this world, there is never a mystery that can be fully grasped. If Takakawa has such a high degree of mystery, then let Takakawa solve it himself. Aren't we also having a Takagawa here? Dorothy, do you think, which of the two Gao Chuan is more abnormal and special? In my opinion, they are the same, they are interrelated, and their affairs, leaving them to solve, is the best solution. ”

"That's a good idea." Dorothy nodded and said, "I think so too." ”

"What is the state of Takakawa on our side? The super department has had information about him several times. Catwoman asked, looking at Omi.

"He's good. He's my husband. Omi's expression was steady, so that others could not see anything useful, "I believe that he will become the strongest one under my adjustment." ”

"Speaking of which, it's clear that Gao Chuan on our side is more mature than Gao Chuan on Las Vegas, why is everyone's attitude inclined to be stronger than that boy?" Catwoman didn't quite understand, although she had also seen the other party's skills, but she didn't think that it was beyond the level of a third-level demon pattern messenger.

"The so-called strength is not measured by the level of the magic pattern." "I can feel that his identity as a demonic emissary is actually just a disguised force. What really scares him is something else...... It's indescribable, but when I felt it, I was almost scared. ”

"Yes, is that an exaggeration?" Catwoman said in surprise.

"It's not an exaggeration at all." Dorothy sneered, "That Gao Chuan is the most abnormal side that is stripped from our Gao Chuan essence. It is precisely because he has been stripped out that Gao Chuan on our side seems normal. Of course, strictly speaking, Gao Chuan on our side is actually very abnormal, but it is not as abnormal as in the past. ”

"Stripped? What's going on? Catwoman was even more confused.

"Forget it, Catwoman, don't dig any deeper. Gao Chuan's affairs will be solved by Gao Chuan himself. The offfire interrupts Catwoman's thoughts, not giving her any chance to refute. (To be continued......)
