Chapter 776: Lost (6)
However, Ben's later appearance was obviously not going to make Janet realize that there was actually a spinal neurologist among the survivors of 815 a few days later, and he was even more determined that there was a more powerful god of fate above the lord of the island who had not abandoned him, and he did not know that it was just Janet's stubborn choice to remain in the center of the stage. o
This trick is subtle because Ben's "abandonment" is not only for Ben himself, but also for other the-others.
Ben's illness is actually a message from Jacob to Chard and The-Others: "This one leader is no longer up to the task, it's time to find a new leader."
Just a few days later, 815 fell, and a few days later, Ethan returned news of John-1ocke's miraculous recovery. I think that when Net-1Ocke and his magical connection with the island were on the day, he might have guessed right away that 1ocke's arrival was the will of Boss, and that 1onet was the best replacement.
After the news spread among the-others, the crowd was excited. And Ben's position is in jeopardy. This is the biggest crisis since Ben became leader. Although 1ocke has been ignorant, in fact, from the time 815 fell to the ground, 1onet must eliminate the enemy who will be fast.
Later, there was another person on the island who suddenly fell ill, and that was Jack's appendicitis. It was also a warning, it was Jacob who warned Jack not to leave the island, and Jacob's warning was still soft, and he was still not very willing to interfere with Jack's will. So much so that he did not use anything too strict zhòng's illness to forcibly leave janetbsp; Back to Ben.
At this time, Ben is faced with two major crises: to protect himself and destroy the enemy. The former can make a big splash, because it is understandable to kidnap a doctor to help him operate, after all, at this time, his subordinates have doubts about their status but can still retain their authority for the time being; The latter had to be kept secret, because at this time the miracle of 1ocke was already circulating among the-others, and killing 1ocke on the cusp of the limelight would only offend the public and would not escape suspicion. Therefore, only assassination is possible. It would be nice if it could be disguised as an "accident".
Ben decided to resolve the two crises together.
Abduction; When it was the turn of Michae1 to be on duty, the computer of the Pearl Cabin disguised as Ichae1 and quickly took the bait, stunned 1Octke and snatched some weapons and went to the jungle alone to find A1T, but was quickly caught.
Originally, the plan was to try to operate on Janet with ichae1, but the plan to solve the second crisis of the mystery net - kill 1ocke - was also launched. He deliberately fell into the trap of Fleshy Lust and called himself Henry-Ga1E, and was imprisoned in the Swan Cabin after a long time.
This is quite a sinister plan, and if one of the links goes wrong, your own life will be on the line. However, at this time, Ben was terminally ill and was in danger of losing power, so he had to take risks. Fortunately, the plan is smooth. Ben is locked up in the swan cabin.
For the unwitting the-others, Ben's capture by the 815 survivors was a complete accident of the previous plan. So this side of the car grabbed the fan chae1 afterward. In addition to asking him to trick Janet.
Ben waited for an opportunity in the swan cabin, and after the guò purge operation, he monitored ke1vin, das and others under the swan cabin, and his knowledge of the swan cabin was much higher than that of 1onetbsp; Finally the opportunity came, and one day the Swan cabin had only 1onetsky organs. 1Ocke was crushed and unable to move. But this is not the time to kill 1ocke. Because one is that he can't explain to his subordinates after he starts at this time, but he is in the swan cabin, and he can't guarantee that he can escape smoothly.
Ben's real killer move is behind - the time for the button is approaching, Ben climbs to the machine room through the ventilation duct and presses the button. After Ratzinsky's apparatus was lifted, Ben sued Sù1ocke. I don't have the keys at all, and the keys are a joke at all!
This is Ben's deliberate lie, apparently he pressed the key, and he knows the consequences of not pressing the key. Ben's purpose is precisely to shake 1ocke's belief and finally guide zhì1ocke to stop mr. eko's continue button - and the end result of this qiē guide zhì is the implosion of the swan cabin!
At the end of the second season, although the Swan Cabin Implosion looks like an accident caused by 1ocke's faith-shaking director, it is actually completely manipulated by Ben and is an "accident" orchestrated by Ben.
If 1ocke had indeed been killed in the implosion of the Swan Module, then Ben had fled back to his own turf by then, ensuring his safety and not being suspected of murder.
Ben killed 1OneTD and failed, and it also brought a side effect to the island, that is, at the moment of the magnetic storm, the location of the island was threatened by the ORE mercenaries from the outside world.
However, Ben's previous plan basically succeeded, and Janet was tricked into making it - so Ben was alive again.
In addition to Ben's self-rescue and killing plans, The-Others' other plans are also underway. At the top of the list is still the leadership training program of "revolution - life starts from the baby".
With the exception of the miracle of 1ocke, the-others have historically nurtured and selected leaders from among children. Therefore, the children among the 815 survivors became the first target of the the-others' kidnapping, and the children in the tail suffered first, followed by A1T.
The-others' criteria for selecting leaders are seen from various clues. Must be gifted children. The talent here refers to some special sensing and special abilities with the island.
The-others are particularly interested in this kind of gifted child. For example, when he was a child, he could see his mother's soul and pay special attention to Ben, and similarly, when he knew that 1ocke was born prematurely when he was a child and his vitality was extremely tenacious, he also showed a very interested expression.
The same is true of The-Others' interest in A1T, when they learn about A1T's special abilities through observation and intelligence. There was also a great deal of interest in A1T.
"Talent" or "ability" is what the-others value most in selecting leaders. Under normal circumstances, the-others leaders should be 1ocke, ikhai1, "perfect people without blemish". In the words of the day chard, it is the person who can create the miracle of zào.
If the leaders are all of this kind of people, then there must still be a certain proportion of strange people among those who are noticed by the-others and are called into the gang, especially those who originally wanted to be trained to be leaders but were defeated. Is there any? Yes, indeed. For example, the fan khai1 who is not too dead, such as the harper-stanhope who can teleport like a1t-gooin's wife. Ben once sent GooAper-Stanhope to send a message to Ju1iet using an A1T-like teleportation ability.
The black woman in The-Others once said to Chae1, "We learned a lot from A1T". Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that The-others have developed the secret of teleportation ability from A1T, and thus cultivated a teleporter like Harper.
Or it can be speculated. It is likely that Harper was originally a capable person who was one of the candidates for leadership and was later eliminated.
Because of her innate ability and talent, after The-Others' research on A1T, she can learn that ORE may also be an ability, but she has not deduced what ORE's ability is in the play.
Ironically, Ben, the current leader of The-Others, is not a gifted person at all. When the first day was listed, it was because Ben was a natural talent, and he was a person who could communicate with ghosts. Similar to the later hur1ey. It was only later that Ben was shot by Sayid and was cured and lost his memory. At the same time, he also lost his talent. Ben's strength lies in his ability to make up for his lack of talent with amazing strategy, and he has become the leader of The-Others by relying on his superior strategy.
In short, even though Ben is not a gifted person, the mechanism for discovering and developing future leaders based on talent has not been shaken. The-Others continues to nurture and research gifted children among the 815 survivors. This is the reason why A1T was kidnapped and studied.
Another of The-Others' missions is to kidnap pregnant women to study, for example, Ethan made the kidnapping of C1aire a major task at the beginning. Although it is not possible to infer whether Ben has been so focused on pregnant women because of some kind of heart knot, since the emergence of the health crisis and the 1ocke crisis. The study of pregnant women is not simply a practical problem, but a political problem.
As seen at the end of the third season, even in the face of threats from the ORE gang, Ben still insists on kidnapping pregnant women as a top priority for The-Others, so much so that he is ambushed by the 815 survivors during the Battle of the Beach and suffers heavy casualties.
Of course, this is a bit of a strange thing. Even though Ben may have been particularly focused on pregnant women because of some of his own complexes. However, in the face of the threat of ORE and others at this time, it is clear that pregnant women research should not be a priority.
However, as long as you have read books such as Tang Degang's "The Beginning and End of XXXX", which depict the inner activities of a dictator, it is easy to understand that as a dictator. The fact that a reliable policy can be pursued does not prove anything, and the more an unreliable policy can be implemented, the more it proves the solidity of your power. Therefore, in the later years of Ben's administration, the "establishment of authority" of the robbery of pregnant women was far more significant than practical. From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why Ben is so obsessed with snatching pregnant women.
The thing that happened at the same time as the birth of a pregnant woman was that 1ocke finally began to contact the-others head-on. Once Ben's plan to murder 1ocke fails. It's inevitable.
In fact, The-Others had already begun to prepare for 1ocke, for example, they had already sent someone to kidnap 1onety-cooper to come to the island (because the process and result were so strange that Anthony-Cooper thought that he had come to the afterlife), Ben could only swallow this qiē.
The reason why The-Others kidnapped Anthony-Cooper is still related to The-Others' rules for selecting leaders. The-others do not seem to set any threshold for the joining of children who have become candidates for leadership as children, but for the exceptions of those who have become candidates after adulthood, The-others have set an almost cruel threshold for joining: that is, these people who have become candidates for leadership after adulthood are required to show their loyalty to the organization by killing a close relative!
Ben himself went through this ritual when he joined The-Others. He killed his own father with his own hands during the purge to carry out the ritual of guò. Officially join the-others.
At this time, since 1onet failed to kill 1ocke in the previous murder plan, he had to retreat to the next best thing, hoping that the ring of the Guò ceremony would stop 1ocke from joining, but 1oget really couldn't kill his father with his own hands.
Fortunately, at the prompting of the Japanese chard, 1ocke borrowed a knife to kill, borrowed saaper, and successfully passed the guò ceremony. Successfully joined the-others.
After 1ocke joins The-Others, he offers to go to meet Janet to stop it. So Ben had to take 1OCKE to the wooden house to worship janetbsp; There are various clues in the play. The hut was indeed one of the places where Jacob lived before, at least at this time the the-others thought that Jacob still lived here (only Chard knew that Jacob had another place to live, the bottom of the statue).
However, Ben didn't know that the cabin was occupied by the men in black. Ben must have gone to the cabin with trepidation, as he wasn't sure if Jacob, who had been avoiding him, would actually be waiting for him, but he probably didn't expect Jacob to be there.
As for the etiquette and taboos when going to meet Jacob (e.g., not using modern equipment), it should be that the Japanese should be familiar with this set of etiquette and taboos. Because after all, he had been looking forward to seeing him; To Ben's surprise, there was actually a mysterious person in the cabin that he couldn't see who only spoke to 1ocke. The mysterious man said to 1ocke, "Help me".
After this sudden incident, Ben seems to 1onet that this incident clearly confirms Jacob's previous "warning": Jacob has abandoned him and is looking for 1Ocke as the leader of The-Others.
What Ben didn't know was. At this time, he was actually in the wooden house, and his "preference" for 1ocke was actually part of the Men in Black's plan to "find 1oopho1e".
The next day, Ben took 1OCKE to see the slaughter pit planned by Bodhidharma and gave 1OCKE a shot. Just like all the protagonists in movies and television, as long as they are not broken, the positive characters who are the protagonists will definitely be resurrected on the spot. He was resurrected on the spot with full blood.
With 1onet's plan to murder 1ocke (whether successful or not) comes with a side effect - the location of the island is briefly revealed and intercepted by the ORE.
Although Ore was expelled before, he was actually still secretly ordered by Jacob and took over a large amount of Bodhidharma's resources. However, under Jacob's "hands-off" policy, Ore has as much freedom as Ben on the island.
In fact, Ben and Ore can be on their own feet in quite a few ways, and Jacob doesn't interfere with that. Their behavior is only constrained by some very limited and very basic "pure precepts", that is, "milk 1es". Therefore, the conflict between Ore and Ben is quite intense but always janetbsp; Ore has always been unwilling to be a foil on the stage, and he hates Ben and does not trust Ben to be the leader of the The-Others, so he has always tried to return to the island to regain power.
Among the Boruma heritage received by ORE, it is natural that there are also light stations that can calculate the "window" into the island. Since the Beacon Station was later proven to be able to help Onetic-PrivateX get back to the island, why didn't Ore use it to get back on the island sooner, instead of having to wait for the implosion of the Swan Module to lock the island's bearings? After all, although the light station is pointed out is the opposite of s.has.haore.
The reason may be that the beacon station can only be a "window" into the island (as Haking himself says), that is, a "timing" composed of temporal and spatial coordinates, rather than a real geographical location.
And entering this window is not necessarily able to enter the island, so when onetic-private X wants to return to the island through the "window" indicated by the light station, it must try to restore the situation at the time of the 815 crash, only in this way can the possibility of entering the island be improved. In other words, entering the island through the "window" of the light station is completely like winning a lottery.
For onetic-private x, who entered the island in a similar way back then, there is a high probability of entering again, and for those ordinary people under ore, they may not be able to enter the island even if they walk back and forth in the window for dozens of times.
So ORE could only stumble for N years, until the side effects of the explosion in the swan cabin finally locked the location of the island.
In fact, ORE has been using the window of the indicator light station to find the island, that is, to fund all kinds of global aviation and sailing competitions, and cast nets in various positions to hit the "window", but in fact, he has really succeeded a few times, once is a hot air balloon of Henry-GA1E, and the other is to drive a yacht around the world to touch the ND, but unfortunately both times failed to actually bring effective feedback to ORE.
In the process, Ore's daughter Penny knows a little or even a lot about Yoshima's secrets, as well as her father's identity and plans.
Or more likely, it was only after the disappearance of the voyage that Penny began to find out from his father the true intentions of the sailing race that his father had funded. (To be continued!)
