Entropy of life (15)
"It's ...... What monsters? β
Sattella looked at the inky thing that burst out of the dodecahedron and covered the hotel building, and she didn't know what to do.
The party entrusted with the mission never said that such a thing would appear in this mission. For a moment, she even suspected it was a trap.
"Sateola, can you hear me? SatΓ©ola? β
From the headset came the anxious call of the mission contact.
"I can hear you, but I need your explanation. Can you tell me, what the hell is going on? I don't remember such a thing in the commission task. β
"Of course not! Listen, something big is wrong. I really don't want to admit it. "The voice in the headphones is extremely serious and doesn't sound like a lie. This more or less dispelled some of Sateola's suspicions. "Wait a minute, now I can't tell the situation at all, can you turn the transmitter on?"
As a special mission equipment, this drive armor comes with a surveillance camera, even if it is far away, as long as the signal transmitter is turned on, the other end can see what she sees.
Sattella immediately pressed a small pick on the side of her neck.
ββ¦β¦ Just kidding, right? β
The sound coming from the headphones was incredible. It sounded like she knew something about the place (Satella guessed through some equipment), but it was still as if she had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
"Do you know what that is?"
Sat'ora asked hurriedly. Her last scruples had been dispelled at this time.
"Do you understand? It's not 'what', it's 'who'......"
Just a word. Satella only felt as if her spinal cord had been frozen in an instant.
"What" and "who". What is the key difference between the two, any human being with normal intelligence can react immediately.
That thing...... It's actually human?!
"You...... Do you know what you're talking about? β
"To be honest, I wish I didn't know, but I do. Because we have just suddenly measured the change in the position of the most extreme AIM diffusion, and the position is on your side. β
"You mean ......"
"RSPK Syndrome...... Fear. What you are seeing at this point should be the person who is capable of causing this phenomenon itself. β
"Wait, how can a capable person become such a thing?"
"Not necessarily."
Suddenly, another girl's voice came from the headphones. Sathora was startled.
"Don't be nervous, it's your own people. As I said, we are not the only support team on this mission. β
The task contact hastened to say.
"At the very least, you should understand what the nature of superpowers is."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Sathora realized that the person who interjected was asking herself.
"Personal reality, isn't it?"
She replied with an official answer.
"It is accurate to say that it is through personal observation that the various possibilities that exist in reality are determined. Just like the five dice of Plato's cube, the probability that is originally uncertain becomes the only result after observation. Because the reality that superpowers people recognize is different from ordinary people, it also produces results that ordinary people do not grasp. If the world in the eyes of ordinary people is regarded as normal, then the world in the eyes of superpowers is distorted by personal reality. But ......"
"But?"
"Have you ever heard the story of the king of the madman country? Once upon a time, there was a well in a small kingdom that was drugged, and anyone who drank the water from that well would become insane. When the king found out, the whole country had already drunk the water from the well. What else can the king do at this time? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Yes, there is no choice but to drink the water from that well. The judgment of whether it is normal or not is not whether it is intrinsically normal, but depends on whether enough people think it is normal. There is no essential difference between normal and abnormal, it just depends on how you look at it. If you can distort reality in everyone's eyes, then the distortion itself is reality. Essence is meaningless until it is defined, and this is the core of quantum mechanics' Copenhagen's interpretation of the 'principle of complementarity'. You should know that RSPK syndrome is a phenomenon caused by the inability to give a correct understanding of things, and is generally thought to be caused by psychological trauma or stress, but it is also a kind of 'superego' in nature. The superego represents an ideal rather than a reality, a transcendent personal reality. But superpowers are capable of making ideal distortions a reality, which means that transcendent personal realities can also become reality. That is, if someone can observe themselves as the whole 'world', then she is the 'world'. Some extreme beliefs even hold that if anyone can actually do that, then the change in the world will be something that person can do in his mind. If you can arbitrarily control the personal reality of others, the result is actually the same. For the personal reality of the majority will become a normal reality, as the fable of the madman nation says. If someone can do this, then there is no doubt that he will become like a god. Even, it is the existence of gods and above. β
This man's words were also the first time he had heard of them. Only then did she know that there was such a secret hidden behind her superpowers.
Suddenly, a strange thought popped into her head: Who was the experimenter? Who is the subject of the experiment?
Capable people and those ordinary people, who is the one who is being tested?
Perhaps when ordinary people think that the capable person is the one who is being tested, the ordinary person is the one who is being tested. Perhaps for a person, whether it is an capable person or an ordinary person, it is only one of many experimental products.
A veritable, madman country paradox......
"Wait, this kind of thing is definitely not normal, is it?"
"Not really. We don't know exactly what happened, and from what we know, all the guests in the hotel should have been evacuated.
"All withdrawn? So what's going on with this? β
Sateola's tone was clearly unkind.
"I'm afraid that someone who had an accident was trapped inside. I find it even more incredible, why is this the case? β
"Occasionally, an unexpected capable person unexpectedly appeared at our target's location, and then unexpectedly trapped by our target and did not escape, and then our target unexpectedly triggered the RSPK syndrome of this capable person, and unexpectedly triggered the most extreme one?"
The mission's liaison and another back-up said so almost quarrelsomely in the headset. Listening to the tone, they were obviously absolutely dismissive of this statement.
Not to mention them, even Sateola couldn't believe that such a coincidence could exist.
The probability of this coincidence is like a golf ball being caught by a flying bird, and being carried out of one city and landing on a golf course in another city directly into the hole.
It's like asking "why the universe is the way it is?" that the probability of a miracle will appear.
"It's not impossible, but we can't find evidence. For the time being, I am afraid that it can only be said that it is the worst miracle. β
"Satera, come back quickly. This is no longer a situation that you can handle, we need more and more professional personnel. We agree that your mission is done, so don't worry about it, you have to deal with the situation, unless a miracle happens. You should understand, right? Sateola. β
"Miracles, miracles...... Don't mention that word in my ear! Sattella scolded without warning, but then she reacted quickly, her tone softened slightly, "There can't be anything so illusory, for the best or the worst...... Yes, absolutely impossible, there must be some reason for this......"
The two people on the other side of the headset seemed to be silent for a moment, and she quietly apologized in her heart, just now she couldn't control her emotions for a while.
"What are you going to do?"
The task's contact asked.
Sattella looked at the inky thing that "grew" out of the hotel. As the captain of a unit on a special mission, she naturally noticed that in this short period of time, the size of this inky thing had more than doubled. At this time, one-third of the volume of the hotel had been swallowed up by it, and this rate was obviously increasing.
"It can turn everything it touches into it.,If you leave it alone.,This ability might swallow up the entire school city.γ Right? β
"I'm afraid so."
"Well, at least try to do something. As I said, I don't believe there is such an illusory possibility, there must be a reason for it. Maybe give it a try and find out why. If the cause can be found, there should be a way to think about it. β
Sattella forced herself to calm down and gather her thoughts.
That's right, if you think about it, miracles and nothing can exist. There must be some reason, there must be.
The sound of bamboo growing rapidly sounded with the sound of the bamboo.
The building that was gradually devoured did not have any falls, and the moment it came into contact with the inky thing, the part belonging to the building was eroded and infiltrated, and then turned into the inky thing itself, so it was impossible for anything to fall down.
Woooooooooooooooo
There is a sound that clogs the ears and makes people panic when they hear it.
Suddenly, a root hung down from the "root" of the inky thing, and the tendrils touched the ground, and countless small black dots immediately climbed up.
She could see that those little black dots were ants. But she would never dare to treat them as ordinary ants.
Has anyone ever seen an ant that can become a colony just by crawling over the ground?
They can eat anything, and they actually divide into more ants immediately after eating.
Just one glance immediately makes people understand that even if these ants can't do anything else, they must not stay in this world.
In the black silk-like driving armor on Satella's body, a violent force was being generated.
She'd never tried to use this ability before, but this drive armor had an optimized mode of operation.
The power of rare earth expansion pervades every part of the driving armor. Clenching her right hand, Sattella punched hard into the road.
The pavement cracked into several chunks under the blow, and she thrust her fingers into the cracks.
A large chunk of the road was swept up, and before it could flip in the air, several wires tied it up.
With a roar, the ant-covered pavement was completely destroyed by a violent explosion.
She's certainly not a saboteur, but being able to solve such a dangerous thing in one go before it scales is a cheap bit of sabotage.
"Get out of the way!"
Someone behind her shouted at her. With no choice, she immediately pulled back. Immediately after that, several special grenades were fired from nearby buildings.
The first grenade exploded first on the inky object, which immediately ignited a cherry-red firework. Then the remaining ones hit one after another, and for a moment the inky thing looked like a cherry blossom tree in full bloom.
(Dismantle the warhead?) οΌ
This is the equipment of the school city's foreign combat troops!
Before they had time to think about why they had such a weapon, a few strands of black silk immediately branched out from several of the hitting points.
The black threads quickly wound into a shape, and they were several black birds, almost dissolving into the night.
The little black birds looked a little like chickadees, but they were smaller than chickadees.
They weren't supposed to be real birds, but they looked so much like real birds that they even groomed their feathers.
Suddenly, all of these birds were flying.
Sattella didn't know what these birds were, but she always felt something strange about them.
Just as she was hesitating and suspicious, the first bird landed on the roof of a nearby building.
A cherry-colored fireball instantly exploded on the roof of the building, and the color and power were exactly the same as the disintegrating warhead!
