Chapter 617: Reason, Strength [Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription]
Can the disaster itself be sublime at times......
Why is this question asked, and what is it measuring......
Gu Jun looked at the five judges in front of him, the five faces seemed to be slightly distorted, and the air in the review room seemed to be mixed with a rancid smell, which made him a little unable to breathe, and the pressure kept rising, rising, rising.
As early as the third day of the intelligence test, after doing those infant development scales, Gu Jun understood that this comprehensive review was not so simple.
And realized the strategy of the jury, exerted internal pressure on him, and caused his psychological defenses to collapse by himself......
Perhaps, this strategy did work, and after these twelve days, the turmoil in his heart was about to break out of the cage.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Edmund Burke argues that anything that somehow inspires human notions of pain and danger, that is, that can be frightening in some form, is a source of the sublime. You should be aware of this, the sublime is inherently present when human beings have strong emotions. And fear is the most primitive and intense emotion that human beings can feel. For example, the untimely death of a celebrity will always make people feel a sense of sublimity, and then deify the celebrity who died young.
So you ask, did the disaster inspire me to feel sublime? I think it's nonsense, yes, there must be, all catastrophes are scary, full of unknowns, uncontrollable, and of course there is a sense of sublimity. It's like an apocalyptic disaster movie, which often captures a grand theme and mood. It's just that don't get me wrong, I feel that the sublime from the catastrophe is human nature, and that doesn't mean that I like disasters, and it doesn't mean that I want disasters.
I fear it, that's why I feel it's sublime. ”
After saying these words in one breath, the sense of restlessness in Gu Jun's heart weakened, thinking about Wu Shiyu, thinking about other relatives and friends, calm down......
The five judges did not interrupt him, nor did they take notes, but just stared at him.
After he finished speaking, they didn't make any comments, and after a pause of a few seconds, Zhai Minghui asked the next question: "After you re-exposed yourself to supernatural things, in the past two or three years, have you ever felt that external forces can control your thoughts?" Especially external forces from the world of different languages? ”
Gu Jun listened, and the restlessness suddenly churned again......
It's like, it seems, faintly, another voice is speaking:
They want to know if you are you; They want to know if you're actually a puppet; They want to know if there is a thread that you can't even see is manipulating you; They want to know, are you really human, or something......
They, not only the reviewers here, but also the higher-ups, a lot of people, people who are dissatisfied with your free medical plan for all in both worlds......
"No, 4 points." Gu Jun's voice had become hoarse, and he saw that the faces of the five judges were distorted even more, or his own gaze was distorted, "There are many external forces trying to control my thoughts, and I have experienced it many times...... But if I had to judge for myself, I don't think it has been successful so far......"
Yes, you don't think you're being controlled by any external force that even influences your mind.
But how is this possible? In this world, all kinds of cultures, all kinds of knowledge, all kinds of ideologies...... Everyone is affected.
There is no such thing as a pure self, absolute purity is blank, and the process of shaping the self is a process of being influenced......
If external forces are only telling you some views that are not allowed to be worldly, is that an attempt to control you? To find out the truth, you need to listen and think about opinions, even if they seem ridiculous at first......
Many of the guidelines you take for granted today were initially considered ridiculous...... Humanity has no eternal mind at all......
"Captain Gu, rest for 5 minutes and drink some water." At this time, Zhai Minghui said.
Interrogation requires skill, not pressure, and sometimes the atmosphere needs to be eased.
Now Gu Jun's face has become ugly, and that kind of look even seems to show hostility, which is in line with the evaluation principle of relaxation and rest.
In the past twelve days, Gu Jun was very cooperative, answering as soon as he answered, and resting when he rested.
But right now, Gu Jun said in a dumb voice: "No, go on, whatever you want to ask, just ask ......"
Each of the judges wears headphones, and they also have to listen to the instructions from the dispatch desk. Xu was commanded, and Zhai Minghui said again: "That's good." In terms of talent alone, do you think it is very difficult and rare for cults such as the Laisheng Society, the Lalaye Order, and the Dagon Esoteric Sect to cultivate a spirit child with a talent like you? ”
"Yes." Gu Jun became more and more low, "5 points." I was an accident, and I'm glad they had so hard to raise one. ”
"Do you think it's your peculiarity that has attracted the attention of Nyaratotip?"
Gu Jun frowned, and a few green tendons loomed on his pale face, "Yes, 3 points...... I have a special ......."
With these words, it became clearer and clearer what was in my mind, about the real purpose of this comprehensive review, about what was happening.
The faces of the five judges were almost all twisted into a whirlpool.
In his heart, he flashed the luxurious scenes of those charity dinners, flashed the old man who set up a stall on the street, the stray dog shivering, flashed the hospital corridor full of patients calling for help when the new legion was sick, flashed the face of the over-gallop, the face of Xue Ba, flashed the fragments of negative choice consciousness, flashed the human alien banyan tree......
These things were pulling at him, and he felt like he was twisting.
Suddenly, at this time, Zhai Minghui's voice came again, like a sharp blade stabbing into his heart, dripping with blood.
"Do you think that because of your incarnation, the Leisheng Society has established a special connection between the earth world and the alien world, so that the anomalous forces related to the alien world have become more active in the earth world? And thus attract the attention and interest of other dark forces? ”
Gu Jun's heart quickly ached, as if it had been poured into a million tons of turbidity.
The empty and gray surroundings seem to be spinning, but the room is bitterly cold.
They wonder if you have caused the disaster, if you have caused the world to be plunged into misfortune again and again......
But is that really all there is to it? What is it that makes you feel so uneasy about you......
Is it the fear that you are attracting the disaster, or the fear that you are losing control, their control......
Gu Jun, you have become untrustworthy, even if you have done so much and sacrificed so much, you have become untrustworthy......
If you want to add sin, there is no excuse...... Meat eaters despise and fail to plan ahead......
But, ask yourself, are their doubts unfounded? Can you be sure it's really not because of you, Child of Doom?
"Captain Gu, please answer this question."
Answer, answer, answer, prove yourself, prove it.
"I ......" Gu Jun gasped slightly, and his lungs became more and more like they were clogged, "I don't know...... I don't know......"
The five judges' faces seemed to be all indifferent, and their voices came out of them: "That's somewhere in between, please rate it." ”
Suddenly, an inexplicable flame burst out of the confusion, almost engulfing him.
"I don't know!" Gu Jun felt that he was trembling all over, and couldn't help but stand up from his chair, "It's just to ask this question these days, right...... With so many quizzes and so much time wasted, how much else could have been done! We don't have so much time to waste here......"
The voice was also suddenly anxious, "Captain Gu, calm down, pay attention to your rational monitoring stone is warning you!" ”
The figures at the judging table all stood up, and gun-wielding operatives rushed from around, as well as occult spell crews.
Rational monitoring stone? Gu Jun glanced at the rational monitoring stone worn on his left wrist, as if he saw a red light light that lit up and quickly became more intense......
Is it dark...... Or is it beyond the power that mortals can understand and control?
Gu Jun, they won't listen to you. No one will listen to you as you are, neither the arrogant and greedy nor the foolish and cowardly...... Unless you have more power, the power to make them obey...... Let your words be powerful......
The new legionnaire's disease is the dawn of a new era, a great turning point...... The history of mankind is a history of wars and plagues...... The new Legionnaires' disease will reshape the world......
Doom is fair, the conqueror worm does not distinguish between high and low, no matter what class it is, whether it is high above or in the mud and dust underground, bad luck can come suddenly.
Differences create suffering, differences create diseases, positive choices, negative choices, draws, and if differences cannot be eliminated, diseases cannot be eliminated.
There is a disease in this world, and there is a disease in this civilization......
You can disagree with these views, you can change the world with your own opinions, and you can have more power.
You hate Nyarrathotep, you hate Sabu Nicholas, but the power that exists in the universe is more than that......
Don't you realize that your insistence on being a mortal is nothing more than a stubborn inertia.
Persistence for the sake of persistence, persistence in ignorance, insistence in numbness......
"Captain Gu, please note, we will make an old seal on you!"
There was an alarm in the judging room, and the footsteps around him were louder and faster, and a team of personnel had surrounded him, stun guns, rifles, and old seal stones.
Gu Jun looked at the nervous crowd around him, and his eyes seemed to be able to pass through them and see the dark shadows behind him.
The entire vast judging room seems to have dissolved into another place, and I don't know which space or which dimension it is.
In the darkness that pervaded the darkness, one after another, one after another, dim, swaying, tall, looking at him, talking to him:
"Gu Jun, our Old Ruler already has a demon seat ready for you. Above human cognition, there is a greater mystery. ”
