Once the candidates have been selected, Jacob inscribes the names of the candidates on the coordinate disk of a lighthouse. ≌The pointer points to the candidate's name, and the candidate's "fate node" can be shown in the mirror on the turntable.

The mirror on the turntable sees the candidate's condition not their current condition, and the mirror is not a live broadcast machine. The Source of Life has the ability to understand the trajectory of life and then manipulate the trajectory of life (that is, fate), so what is reflected in the mirror is actually the most important fate node in the candidate's life, and the life after this node will be changed by this node.

For Jack, a conversation with his father Net after he was beaten up by a little rascal when he was a child is the most important point of his fate, because Jack can no longer get rid of the curse of "You are not a hero (don't-have-hat-it-takes)" and has lived in the shadow of heroic obsessive-compulsive disorder all his life. So it was Janet's house that appeared in the mirror) and not Jacob, who later appeared to see Janetbsp; For Sasayer, the fate node is the death of his parents, so what appears in the mirror is the church where the funeral took place.

For Sun and Ji N, the fate node is the union of the two, so what appears on the mirror is the location of the wedding of the two.

And so on and so forth......

However, even after gaining insight into these life nodes, Jacob does not interfere with them. Perhaps the mirror is just a prop to help Jacob peek into the trajectory of fate, similar to the fortune teller's fortune teller's calculations. The mirror just helps Jacob determine if someone is really a candidacy. Perhaps by peering through the mirror into their fate, some of those who were beginning to be identified as candidates were crossed out before they were summoned to the island.

Once the candidates have been identified, Jacob will appear with them at the appropriate time to "determine" their candidate through physical contact.

and the candidates who have been approached. It's c1aimed-by-jacob, and even with the protection of the brothers' cannibalistic seal, even black smoke can't kill it.

Perhaps it was almost 2,000 years after becoming the owner of the island that Jacob began to use this method to find candidates. Because most of the turntables on the lighthouse from 1-36o are modern.

In this way, just like the crazy mother did, many people later came to the island because of inexplicable shipwrecks or air crashes (mainly through guò 815 plane crashes).

Jacob is clearly more optimistic than Mad Mom. He felt that among these ordinary people who might not look very good on the island, there would always be some who would eventually find their own value and become qualified successors.

However, long before that, there had been people who had been summoned to the island by Jacob for more than 2,000 years, and those people were not candidates, because Xiao Hei obviously couldn't kill candidates, but he could kill those who were summoned to the island before (such as all the crew members of the Black Rock).

Jacob recruited those people to the island for another purpose, which was to prove to Xiao Hei that his departure from the island would not change the world, and that there was not only "evil" in the world. Therefore, Xiao Hei cannot leave the island.

I don't know if it's because the stunned energy when I'm a mortal hasn't faded, Jacob himself doesn't interfere with the visitors to the island, but he can't imagine that Xiao Hei is always doing bad behind his back, so that those people are either killed by Xiao Hei to play or instigated by Xiao Hei to kill janetbsp; The stupid Jacob didn't realize this until later when Chard was egged on to kill him. Thus began to establish the Jacob religion, which later became the-others.

Since then, Chard has also c1aimed-by-jacob, and has been endowed with a long youth, becoming a thousand-year-old master of Jacob's teaching, and an intermediary between Jacob and other ordinary people.

In addition to Jacob and Day Chard. There is also a secular leader in the Jacob religion, the 1eader.

Jacob's requirements for 1EADER are different from candidates. The candidate's personality is more required than ability, and 1eader's ability is more than personality - the candidate must have "responsibility", and 1eader generally has to have "talent" - is this considered Jacob's subconscious revenge on Xiaohei?

So later fan Khai1 misunderstood Jacob's meaning, he thought that Kate they were flawed, and he and people like 1ocke were more perfect, so they were more in line with Jacob's requirements. In fact, judging from his khai1 vitality level tenacious ability. It's possible that he really was Jacob and they were examining as one of the candidates for 1eader.

Jacob and Chard have developed a program for cultivating 1eader, which may inherit the crazy mother's policy of "revolution and life from the baby", generally selecting and training successors from children. Of course, some particularly gifted adults will also be selected exceptionally.

However, if you just ask the Japanese chard to come forward and organize those who come to the island. That doesn't do anything. If Black Smoke wants to kill them, he can still kill them. So the-others must have been protected by some kind of seal imposed by Jacob, so that they could not be harmed by black smoke like later candidates.

This is the reason why the 815er is easily attacked by black smoke when entering the jungle, but the-others can come and go freely in it, and when Jacob is still alive, black smoke actually can't hurt the-others.

So, under the protection of such a seal, the-others grew stronger on the island. They started out as a simple way to prove to the men in black that the world wasn't too bad, and then gradually developed into a semi-military-organization-organization tasked with tasks such as the defense of the island.

More often than not, Jacob doesn't protect the island himself, but relies on the-others.

Theo-Ters, like other successful cults, has a very powerful set of demagogic methods within the church, so that many members of the church will fear Jacob even if they never have the opportunity to meet Jacob in their lifetime; The most typical example is the 815 flight attendant. She was forced to "convert" for a short time, and it seems that she became a very devout believer.

Of course, the demagoguery does not rule out the possibility that Jacob may use some way to show his divine power to the cultists in order to subdue the cultists. Even for those who are not easily seduced, the-others have many other ways to manipulate them, such as ju1iet.

Jacob teaches even uniforms, as long as there is action. and they shall wear clothes similar to those worn by the ancients. Their "uniforms" are the same as those worn by the Jacob brothers, as well as the clothes Jacob later spun under the idols.

In addition to the need to conceal their identity, they should also have some kind of religious symbolism, and it is a reason for monks to wear monks' robes.

For the more than 1,000 years between the island from the time of Mad Mom to the time of Damo, what is the relationship between Jacob and Black Smoke? The two are completely independent? Or is Black Smoke still obliged to serve the gods of the island and be summoned by the gods of the island, just like the first generation of Black Smoke or the murals at the bottom of the temple?

Black Smoke is apparently engaged in his own machinations most of the time, and is not affected by Jacob. But does that mean Jacob can't control him at all? - Probably not. Perhaps when certain conditions are met, such as when a certain ritual is to be performed, Jacob can still summon black smoke to serve him, just like the god Anubis in that mural. The reason why Du Xinghe made this inference was because there was a huge suspicion in the later plot of 1ost, that is, Ben, who was the leader of The-Others, could actually summon black smoke!

Ben's device to summon black smoke is in his own room, even if it's already here (unlikely.) Because this was originally the Dharma camp, if the installation would have been here a long time ago. Bodhidharma has already appeared on it, and The-Others and Jacob shouldn't allow this to happen, so the device should be moved or built after the "purge-cleanup" operation), and those secret doors, secret rooms, etc., don't seem to be able to do it alone.

What's more, judging from Ben's two summoning of black smoke, he should have summoned black smoke when the-others were living normally before.

So Ben's summoning of Black Smoke shouldn't have been some kind of agreement he had reached with Black Smoke in private. Rather, it is an act or ritual known to the-others. That's why at the end of the sixth season, Ben said to himself with the day net: "I used to think it was summoned by myself, but I didn't expect it to be actually it called me", only Fan 1es was taken aback, but Day Chard didn't react - Day Chard is also familiar with the process of summoning black smoke.

So. Under what special circumstances could Black Smoke be summoned by the-others?

It is possible that the summoning mechanic can only be touched when a special situation is born.

This particular circumstance corresponds to one of the most important functions that the black smoke was supposed to perform, previously analyzed: the trial.

Because of its ability to read minds, Black Smoke was used as a tool of judgment by the people of the island or by the gods in the early morning.

This most important "obligation" cannot be shaken off even after the black smoke has turned evil.

Jacob religion, or even since time immemorial, the people of the island have to obey the moral precepts set by some guardian or other demigod.

These moral precepts are what Ben calls "the-milk 1es".

As soon as the people of the island commit these crimes that are not allowed by the "tendrums1es", the sanctioning powers of the black smoke are activated. Once the person under the protection of the jacob has broken the vows, the protection exerted by the jacob is removed, and after the black smoke is summoned, a qiē is handed over to the black smoke trial process to determine what punishment the offender should receive.

In the normal life of the Theo-Thers, they summoned Black Smoke to judge those of them who had committed crimes against the "Theo-Thers".

Only then can they briefly turn enemies into friends with Black Smoke, and the summoned Black Smoke will do nothing bad except for judgment. This is also the most aggrieved side of black smoke.

The "The-Milk 1es" prescribe precepts like the Ten Commandments of Moses. For example, the "the-milk 1es" may stipulate that the-others cannot kill each other, and that anyone who kills a brother or sister is guilty of a crime.

Ju1iet later kills his own people to save Kate and Saier, and Jack later sees Ju1iet being tried by a court-like body.

the-others were to rule at that time. In fact, it is whether to start the summoning process and summon black smoke to judge ju1iet, a sinner. However, due to Ben's intervention, Ju1iet was given a light sentence, and The-Others did not initiate the process of summoning Black Smoke. It was only later that when Ben conspired to tie up Ju1iet and Kate and throw them in the jungle, Ju1iet was at great risk, because Ju1iet was already an outcast of Jacob at that time, and Jacob's protection had been lifted from her. So after encountering the black smoke, it was all a fluke to survive. The first time the black smoke didn't kill her, maybe she couldn't kill her, because she was stuck with Kate, who was a candidate, and the black smoke couldn't kill the killer, and the second time she saved her life by relying on the protective wall of Dharma. This is the reason why other the-others can move in the jungle without hindrance, while ju1iet is chased by black smoke.

Those who are familiar with the Old Testament may know that the ancient precepts of the world often contain certain concepts of fairness and justice of "tooth for tooth and blood for blood", so those ancient precepts on the island may be equivalent to "tooth for tooth" for some people. Blood for blood" is not sanctioned, but those who are innocent will be sanctioned.

The first time Ben summoned Black Smoke, it was actually because "his own people" committed a crime that implicated the innocent, and the trial mechanism was activated.

When Ben witnessed the mercenary shoot his daughter, the first thing he said in shock was: "He violated the milk 1es". "He" is of course referring to Ore's people who have always been Jacob, so if Ore and his men violate Milk 1es, Ben can summon Black Smoke to judge Ore's mercenaries who have broken the rules.

Ben tries to summon Black Smoke a second time. It was in his own violation of the milk e. He explained to F1OCKE that he himself had violated milk 1es. Whoever violates the milk 1es will be judged by the black smoke, and he will come back to be judged.

Ben said that he violated the milk 1es, referring to the fact that he also ended up implicating the innocent and tried to kill Ore's granddaughter, so according to the rules. He will be judged by the black smoke.

As for a cunning person like Ben, why would he be willing to come back to stand trial even though he had already left the island and could continue to be at large in the outside world without being judged? Maybe it's because Ben can be acting no matter who he is. Only the love for his daughter is unquestionable, Ben's repentance for killing his daughter is certainly the reason on the one hand, but on the other hand, I am afraid that he is still dead to the island, and he has a fluke mentality, in case he can be spared by the black smoke, then even if he washes away his sins, he will make a comeback from now on, waiting for the opportunity to redo the leader of the island.

Back to the candidates.

In the worldview of "1ost", there seems to be a certain number of longevity for all people in the world. Hades told you to die on the third watch, and some cattle (such as des touching nd) can keep people until the fifth watch, but they still have to die after all. There seems to be a definite lifespan for Guardians as well. Around the middle of the twentieth century, Jacob, perhaps sensing that his deadline was near, began his plan to search for a candidate for himself.

In the way of visualizing the chain of fate mentioned earlier, Jacob has determined the list of candidates, and the number of candidates numbered 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42 in this chain of fate composed of more than 3oo people is especially valued by Jacob, and the final successor may be produced from these people.

After that, what Jacob has to do, in addition to contacting these candidates at the right time and finalizing their candidates, all that remains is to use the ability to pull fate at an appropriate time, so that the people in this fate chain who were originally just passing by will meet on the island along the fate after being pulled.

Unlike previous Guardian Legacy, this time Jacob has to face the threat of Black Smoke alone. At the moment of the Guardian handover, which is also the most dangerous moment, Black Smoke is likely to take advantage of the vulnerability of Jacob's side before and after the handover, and wipe out Jacob's side and leave the island in one fell swoop. So Jacob had to do other precautions.

Interestingly, Jacob also appeared in the chain of fate of that candidate a strange person who seemed to have a special sense of the magnetic field of the source of life, this is the later DES touch nd, this person can be used as a surprise soldier in the future when the situation is critical, so DES touch ND also entered the game!

Jacob began to prepare for the handover ceremony at a time when the Humanity Tech Show was in full bloom. The enormous potential created by the advancement of human science and technology was never seen or imagined by Jacob's predecessors.

The advancement of science and technology has brought mankind closer and closer to the realm that only gods could set foot in. The power of human technology threatens even the sacred realm of the island.

In the 195o, the U.S. military somehow appeared on the island. At this time, the Cold War between the East and the West had already broken out, and God knows what the nervous US military would be frightened when an island appeared on the sea that could be "invisible" and could only be entered at a certain angle and with specific coordinates. Could it be that this is the secret weapon of the Soviets?

Perhaps out of some nervous defensive psychology, the U.S. military brought a hydrogen bomb to the island, perhaps to solve the insoluble mystery that frightened them once and for all. But before he could do it, he was wiped out by the island's the-others.

Before more U.S. troops arrived, the island was moved by the-others, and the U.S. forces lost track of the island. For this bizarre "broken arrow" incident, because the Qiē surrounding his life is too bizarre and weird, it is estimated that the relevant files have been classified as X-files and the like, and they have been put on the shelf, and they are gone.

Humanity's progress is both a threat and an opportunity for Jacob. Why not use science to help?

Perhaps with the help of human science, a way to eliminate the Men in Black once and for all can be found, which is the ideal situation. But even if this ideal goal is not achieved, science should be able to help it find some additional ways to contain the men in black, and this scientific power may be an additional safeguard in the future when the candidate succeeds, and when Jacob's side is scorched with black smoke, science may be able to save the surprise soldiers.

As a result, Jacob decided to send human science to the island and let them study the strange properties that the source of life brought to the island, in the hope that these scientific studies could find some way to curb the black smoke or protect the island. As a result, science has become an important auxiliary line in the JACOB candidate program.

So who will preside over this scientific program? The first thing that comes to mind, of course, is the day chard. But Jacob's way of doing things, he never reveals his entire plan to any of his subordinates, and everyone who works for him only needs to know what they need to do, so Chard and his gang are not the right people to implement the scientific plan.

Jacob is good at groping for the trajectory of fate, and the most convenient way is to find a trajectory of fate from his side, like looking for a candidate, and follow the trajectory of fate from him to find a suitable candidate.

So, starting from Chard, Jacob followed the trajectory of his fate to find Captain Hanso, who took him to the island, and followed the trajectory of Captain Hanso's fate to find the descendant of Hanso, who is now alive in the world, A1var-Hanso. (To be continued!)
