2. Seventeen Moments in Spring (12)
Gunshots swept across the sky, bloodied and shocked faces collapsed in the mud, and a group of smiling priests delivered the final blow to their companions.
"Hurry up and finish the sweep, there's still business to be done here. β
"Yes, yes, yes. β
The priests who had killed their comrades shrugged their shoulders at the stinky-faced Jerrus and accelerated the slaughter with a smile that didn't make a difference.
"This ...... What is going on?!Did you guys sell your souls to demons?!How did you turn your back on your faith and your companions and do such a thing......!!!?"
One of the priests roared angrily, and in reply he was answered by a gunshot, and slowly fell to the ground with confusion and a hole in his forehead.
"Faith?"
"Companion?"
"If madness disguised as holy is faith, and the poor worm who can't survive without reporting to the group for warmth is a companion, the world really needs a savior to save it. β
The priest who raised his gun to shoot, the priest whose hands were stained with the blood of his companions spoke, and the priest who was slitting his throat spoke, and every sentence was seamless, as if it came from a person, and the mocking expression was the same.
No matter how you look at it, this is too abnormal.
There are atoning people in the church who act as one, and the priests of Iscarho work closely together in singing and fighting. But these people in front of them are completely different, there is no resonance in their actions, and they are very completely like "one person".
"Brainwashed?"
Hans Christian Andersen showed a look of remorse and anger, he was not a manipulator, he had limited knowledge of this kind of magic involving the spiritual plane, and with his rich combat experience and keen intuition, he could roughly judge what was going on in front of him.
"I don't care to use this vulgar method of brainwashing. β
The crowd parted automatically, and the Vorgrevo priests laughed together.
"Brainwashing, hypnosis, suggestion, these are just small tricks used by third-rate religious people, fraudsters, and paranoids. Can you not confuse my 'absolute dominance' with those tricks that don't come to the fore?"
"Absolute dominance?"
"Exactly. Day after day, the use of doctrine and salvation to brainwash believers and instill loyalty, and the use of theoretical flaws and logical contradictions to hypnotize and suggest these methods of domination are not thorough, in the final analysis, no matter how loyal they are, others are always others, with independent personalities and values. Disagreements and differences cannot be completely eliminated after all, and the risk of betrayal will always exist. Those who will not betray themselves are the only ones. β
"It's hard to ......"
Before Andersen and the other clerics could comprehend this statement, Gille had fully understood the subtext of Walgrevoux and derived a terrible assumption from it.
People cannot fully understand each other, it is even more difficult to trust each other, and absolute domination is just a pipe dream. The only thing that man can truly dominate is himself.
In that case, think the other way around. Isn't it enough to turn "others" into "yourself"?
Only you will not betray yourself, only you will not deceive yourself, only you will not hurt yourself.
-- Only oneself can dominate oneself.
"Exactly, Fraulein. β
Walgrevo pointed to his temple and laughed in a shrill voice:
"I put my personal information ...... Ah, sorry, I accidentally used the terminology. To put it simply, it is to write my personality and memory into high-density techniques. Indoctrination into someone else's brain. β
The definition of human beings is not strictly based on the biological definition of "possession of human genes". The physical body is nothing but a container, and the contents - spirit, memory, personality, etc., can define the meaning of human beings.
It is precisely because of the independent personality and self, and the recognition of each other's differences, that people can survive. It is precisely because of the differences that various contradictions arise. But what if you do it the other way around, what if you replace the contents? If you think of the human body as computer hardware. What will be the result of deleting and resetting all the contents with something similar to computer virus software?
The answer is right in front of you.
"Was the light emitted at that time used to inculcate the technique?"
"Bingo. Exactly. β
"Absolute dominance" and "memory manipulation" can be said to be derivative products of visual toxicity, which stimulate brain cells with a combination of light of special wavelengths, and at the same time emit amplified brain quantum waves for resonance sensing, deleting or implanting false memories. You can also copy and paste your own personality and memories into other people's brains. It is not to turn people into slaves or domestic animals, but to control them as physical extensions that carry their own will. As the literal meaning suggests - absolute domination.
"Don't you think that's great? People all over the world have a unified will, no strife, no differences, no discrimination...... All the misfortunes are gone, and it must be a beautiful place like Taoyuan Township. Don't you who are members of the clergy think that this is true salvation?"
Walgrevo opened his arms and looked at the sky with his eyes full of enchantment and excitement, and the priests shouted in the same fascination......
For the first time since arriving in the Saarbadu district, Diana frowned.
The saint, who always has an innocent face at any time, shows disgust from the bottom of her heart at this moment.
Walgrevo's words and deeds are undoubtedly a blasphemy against the gods and doctrines, but even more so against all intelligent life.
"You're crazy. β
Ji El raised his right hand and said coldly.
"You Iscarho are saying the word 'crazy?' Well, even if I'm crazy. Then what is the reason of your gods, who call themselves normal people, which one, bird, earth, square, root, onion, to guarantee?"
The sword tore through the atmosphere, and 3 shots in a row, a total of 12 swords stabbed at the young man who clapped his hands and laughed wildly.
There is no need for the Holy Maiden to order, no need to be reminded by others, as long as there is still a little sanity in the brain, it is clear that this man can no longer be allowed to speak. As a human being, there is an insurmountable bottom line in life, and this man has crossed that line with words and actions, and he can't be allowed to say even one more sentence.
Left and right, up and down, 12 swords enveloped Walgrevor's body, as if to turn him into a hedgehog, but Walgrevo still calmly opened his hands. At the moment when they were about to be pierced, several priests jumped forward and lowered all their swords with their bodies.
"Oooh. By the way, after infecting my memory and personality, I can even do this kind of thing. β
The priests who stopped in front of Volgrevo were foaming at the bloody foam, and the corners of their mouths were raised, and their left eyes were closed. Hans Christian Andersen had barely had time to shout "Close the ......!" before the priests of Iscarho were once again bathed in a rainbow of light.
Looking at the Volgrevo army that has expanded again. Jerus couldn't help but spat out.
The abilities of the Seven Original Sins are ineffective against each other, and the thunderstorm ghouls manipulated by Jelles are all corpses, and "absolute domination" does not work for them. Under the cover of Walgrevo, they could take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and annihilate the annoying church flies in one fell swoop.
But Jerres did not take immediate action.
Competing for credit is one of the factors, but it has not yet reached the point where it is difficult to prioritize and delay the task for this little thing. The deeper, more immediate reason is that every time he sees that light, Gellers feels sick from the bottom of his heart.
The great sin of arrogance is not contempt for others. It doesn't matter if it's real, and you're immersed in your own delusions. Imposing ideas that are beneficial to oneself on others - this is true arrogance.
In this sense, "absolute domination" is the ability most commensurate with Wolgrevo, and can be said to be the concrete form of "arrogance". At the same time, this kind of ability and sinful karma is destined to be the worst of the same kind of "jealousy" that also rejects and denies others.
"Sure enough, I don't get along with that guy at all......"
Softly spitting out his thoughts, Jelles drove the ghouls into the melee.
οΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌ
A dimly lit space.
It could be a basement, or it could be an abandoned house that has lost its owner. There were no lights, and in the silence of the darkness, I could faintly distinguish the figures leaning against the wall with their hands folded, and some of the whispers of broken thoughts could be heard when they got closer.
"Walgrevo inputs. The campaign against the Church began in its repression. β
"The surveillance of the entrances and exits of the village, the dead corners of the buildings, the surrounding open areas, and the bushes is unfolding. It is in good health. β
"The containment and evacuation of the survivors, which is ongoing, and which does not appear to be aware of the ongoing fighting, can be assumed to have served as the intended cover for the chaos created by Jerrus. At the current pace, it is expected that a basic evacuation to a safe area will be possible within 54 minutes. β
"The current altitude of the neutron bomb is 8,500 meters, and the distance is reduced to the detonation height. There are 90 minutes left. β
Obviously outside the scene, but he can control the overall situation, there is only one such person in the village of Tails.
De Kiel.
He was in sync with the demons lurking everywhere, keeping an eye on everyone's every move.
Combat is very simple. Observe the situation in the village as they expel Iscarho from Jelles. Identify the survivors and find out the animals and eliminate them.
Since the last encounter, the animal has been dormant and faceless, and is now in a state of hunger that can barely be thought of. It was not much different from a beast after repeated modifications, and under such extreme conditions, he would most likely gamble on his luck, and even if he endured hunger, it would be impossible to maintain his disguise in the crowd.
It was only a matter of time before the beast left the safety of its lair.
Now it's all about holding your breath and waiting for your prey to appear, while making sure that Roland and his party don't get caught up in the fight or the final neutron salute until they leave safely. And most importantly,
"I see, the church seems to be quite hard. Is it because of the decline in my own influence, or is it because the saint and I have some ideas that have come to mind? It is necessary to do some investigation. β
The three-headed Q version Li Lin turned his cane and looked down on Dekyll.
"Aren't you going to get involved?"
"Spare me, as you know, my side is a much more important task than theirs. β
"No, no, no, what I'm saying is that Walgrevo and Jerreth both invited you, why did you come to me to report at the end?"
The red pupils narrowed slightly, as if they were about to shoot through Dekyll.
"Because I'm a lustful guy. β
Spread your hands and say as if you take it for granted.
"I'm not interested in merit or anything, and I'm not interested in self-discovery or anything like that. The only thing I care about is pure sensuality, whether it is a boy, a girl, a man, a woman, a stranger, a flesh and blood relative, as long as you can enjoy the kiss of the skin, you can sink into the sea of desire. Anyway, it's a false life, it's better to indulge in lust and enjoy the passion of the moment. β
"It's vulgar...... Just keep doing your job. By the way, put this away, and it will come in handy in the next battle. β
A point of light lit up in the darkness, it was a red point of light, and the tiny object that emitted red light flew around the Q version of Li Lin a few times, turned around and stopped in Dekyr's palm. If you look closely, it is actually a black diamond shaped like a bee.
Inorganic lifeforms. Once explosively proliferated, it can even change the planetary environment and extinguish all life.
Carefully put away the "bee" that might destroy the world of Miè, De Kiel suddenly looked up and asked:
"Are you just leaving it alone? Walgrevor's purpose isβ"
"Let him go, clinging to such small things is in itself proof that he can't make it. As for the possible impact...... Honestly, I'm looking forward to it. β
β......β
"After so many years of training, the personality and values have been basically fixed, the strength is not inferior, and the experience is still slightly inferior, but the impact is not great, and it will soon accumulate in future wars. The lack of heirs so far may be a problem, but it is not unsolvable. In any case, the results did not fall short of the predictions. β
Dekyll stared at the happy smiling face, trying to find a hint of stubbornness or stubbornness, but in any case there was no sign of falsification, nor any sign of similar emotional fluctuations.
I'm afraid, he's serious.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, do your best, and do whatever you want. Remember to report the results to me. β
Leaving this sentence, the Q version of Li Lin's body gradually became transparent and thin, and finally disappeared completely.
With a long sigh, DeKir fell silent again.
Maybe it's hard to let go, maybe it's incomprehensible, but it has nothing to do with him.
(Really...... Although there is no blood relationship, why can you accept the possibility of cannibalism between father and son so calmly...... οΌ
Swallowing incomprehensible doubts, after a moment of silence, he looked at the entire village again, the song echoing in the darkness.
β...... Baa, baa, blacksheep, (black sheep bleating)
Have.you.any.wool?'
Obviously it was only a year after it was born, and no one had ever sung this song to himself, but he remembered it firmly in the depths of his memory.
The slightly hoarse voice continues to sing the nursery rhyme of "Mother Goose", and the rhyming ballad continues to echo.
Yes, sir, yes, sir, (yes, yes, sir)
Three.bags.full (I have three bags of hair)
One.for.the.master, (a bag for the host)
And.one.for.the.dame, (a bag for the hostess)
And.one.for.zhe.little.boy (1 bag for the alley)
Who.lives.down.the.lane (Little Boy Living)
The singing came to an abrupt end, and after a while, a sneer overflowed from the darkness.
"Finally called me to find it......" (To be continued......
