Chapter 110 Investigator Extra: Secret (II) - Soul Gate, Memetic Virus (Extra)
"You must be wondering." Chen Ang said: "You have some questions you want to ask...... Like, who are we? What is the purpose of being here? What do we all know? β
"Don't worry, I can answer you one by one!"
Chen Ang sat in the dark room, his back against the dancing corpse, the demons in the room danced wildly, making his figure like a ghost, he said slowly: "You can rest assured, we have no interest in you, we came here just to observe that 'door', the entire voodoo cult, there are not many people who know that the real seal is that door." β
"Although the sealed door is open, there are not many people who can really get close to it."
Chen Ang saw Nick's puzzled expression, and suddenly smiled, "You don't think that every mirror can lead to that door, do you?" Then the world has long been in chaos, in fact, the data found by the Holy Shield shows that the door has just been opened, so there are still very few people approaching it, and some voodoo wizards in Africa have disappeared unexpectedly...... In remote villages on all continents of the United States, some cult organizations have disappeared entirely. β
"Only people like you are closer to the ...... of the door" Chen Ang raised his head and said: "There is a wall between the known world of common sense and the unknown mysterious world, this wall separates myths, legends, spirits and magic, and blocks those unknown mysteries behind the wall, but after the door of the soul is opened and the things behind the door are released, the first wave of impact is naturally you behind the wall." β
"It will take a little time for death to break through that wall of intellect."
"It will be a while for ordinary people who are protected by the wall of intellect to want to touch the door, but this precious period of security is not long! That's why I'm bringing him to you, we want to know what the door of the Voodoo Cult is and what's behind it? What secrets do you know about the Soul Gate and 'death'? β
"Also, who else knows the secret of the fifth seal?"
Selsey said with difficulty, "You're here to investigate the fifth seal. You want to know where the 'original sin' is? β
Chen Ang smiled: "No, I know where the 'original sin' is, and what I want to ask is - who else knows where it is?" Nick raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you know where the fifth seal is?" You didn't tell us about that. β
"A secret, if you want to protect it, the fewer people who know about it, the better!" Chen Ang said lightly: "It's better that only I know." β
Sersi said: "So the purpose of asking me is ......"
"Kill them, of course, and in order to protect the fifth seal, all those in the know had better keep their mouths shut, either they will never be able to say it to me, or ...... You have to die! β
"We don't know more than anyone else...... We're just ordinary wizards. Sersi pleaded, "Voodoo wizards are everywhere, and the secret of the gate has long since disappeared into history, like that ancient tribe. Let us go! β
"If Mary Lavieu's right and left hands are also ordinary wizards and don't know anything, then Voodoo really has no secrets to speak of!" Chen Ang sneered, "You have been with Ravieu for so long, she is the founder of Voodoo and the famous Empress of Voodoo. As a Creole, Ravieu founded the Voodoo cult and inherited the legacy of the Voodoo tribe in Benin was a little too smooth. β
"Voodoo is different from the Wakanda and Ebola tribes, and it's strange that you can have those secrets, after the voodoo tribes are destroyed, the seals they inherited and their culture are passed down in the ancient religion of Benin, but without the tribe as a heritage, the ancient legends passed down by word of mouth will lose a lot of key information."
"I have sent people to investigate in Benin, and the secrets passed down by the mouths of those primitive religious wizards have become very vague mixed with a large number of myths and legends."
"My people have managed to analyze the existence of the 'door' from those confusing legends and myths...... And the headquarters of the Voodoo Cult in Haiti still holds those core secrets of the Voodoo tribal period? You still know about the 'Gate of the Soul' - this part has no shadow in Benin at all. β
"It can't help but lead me to speculate β there's definitely something wrong with Lavieu. She founded Voodoo not to summarize and sublimate the popular African primitive religions in Haiti, but to take the secrets she knew as the core, and gradually integrated those scattered primitive religions and created Voodoo! β
Chen Ang analyzed step by step and debunked Seelsey's disguise.
"The Fifth Seal......" Chen Ang said slowly: "You shouldn't know that there is a fifth seal at all, and no one in the four ancient tribes will know the secret of the fifth seal, because when fighting against the first mutation of the Sun Ladder, in order to avoid leaking the secret, the core of this secret was handed over to the ancient Egyptians for safekeeping, and the remaining part was scattered among the major ancient civilizations." The secrets kept by ancient Egypt were brought into the pyramid by the seal and Khotan, and it was only later that the Holy Shield reopened the floating pyramid to find out this part, plus what we already had - only we have gathered all the secrets and know the reservation of the fifth seal 'original sin'. β
"So I wondered, where did Raviyu learn about this. What does she know? β
Sersi was horrified: "I can't tell you about Empress Ravieu, I can't say it at all, if I want to say this, Empress Laviyu can take our lives wherever she is." β
"So I wasn't going to ask you at all!" Chen Ang said: "Do you still remember those dusty memories in your mind just now? β
Sercy's expression became terrified.
Chen Ang nodded and said, "I peeked into your memory, and I already know most of the secrets." Now I want to know ...... It's the things in your mind that have been cursed and you don't dare to recall. Why do I tell you so much...... I just want you to 'believe'. β
"Ever heard of it? In witchcraft, belief is a power. And to believe that this power was brought back from behind the door by Raviyu. Chen Ang said slowly in Sersi's ear, these words made her struggle violently, but she was stiff and couldn't move.
And the reason why Selsey can't move is because she still has a soul in her body.
The original owner of this body, Caroline, who returned from behind the door!
Chen Ang interprets the secrets in Sessi's brain...... He began to touch the door!
"The human mind exists in the mind, and all objectively existing realities are based on human perception, and the world we know, or the world we know, is the projection of the real world on consciousness, so our world is composed of two partsβthe principle of reality and the principle of consciousness."
"Some mentally ill people, their perception of reality is the same as ours, but because their way of perceiving the world and their internal logic are different from ours, their perception of the world is different from ours. This distortion based on consciousness and information will change our world. β
Based on this...... Witchcraft does not change the objective world, it does not change science, but it can change the world as we perceive it. β
"To distort the world by distorting the inner logic of our cognition."
"And this distorted power comes from the concept of the transmission of information such as language, ideas, beliefs, behaviors, etc., which is similar to the role played by genes in the process of biological evolution, and this concept can be called meme!"
"The so-called 'door' is not the door of the soul that leads to death, or the door of death and life, as you say, but the door of consciousness that locks the existence of anti-logic, anti-intellectuality, and anti-common sense in human consciousness that violates internal logic. It does not exist in the real world, but in the consciousness of each of us. β
"It's the chaotic data that the Apocalypse locked up when it created human consciousness."
"Human consciousness is a quantum algorithm, which follows the laws of the apocalypseβa basic rationality and logic, and once this basic rationality and logic is lost, human consciousness will become chaotic data, and the window of human cognition of the real world will be distorted into something indescribable."
"This basic law, which prescribes the way in which human beings observe the world, and all the concepts that human beings understand in reality, once this door is broken, then all human concepts of everything will gradually collapse, and human beings will not be able to understand mathematics - because mathematics comes from basic logic."
"The reason why one plus one equals two cannot be falsifiable and absolutely correct is because it is based on the basic rationality of human beings, and once this basic rationality does not exist, this cognition collapses!"
"Mathematics does not come from the observation of the natural world, from reality, but from the basic rationality of consciousness."
Chen Ang slowly explained to Nick: "If this door is not opened, then human consciousness is an algorithm created by the Apocalypse, a kind of black box system, how can the Human Revolutionary Federation believe you?" But to open this door would mean the collapse of basic human reason...... Just as the body's immune system collapses, this door is the conscious immune system of the human being. β
"When the door is opened, the immune system collapses, and your consciousness is easily infected by information from the outside world."
"All the products of human cultural activities, language, writing, and information will pollute your consciousness like a virus, and when your consciousness still has internal logic, you can easily distinguish which information and understand it correctly, but without that door, you will not have the basic ability to distinguish information."
"At that time, a word, a word, a legend can easily distort your consciousness. You are like a system with a firewall dismantled, allowing all information viruses to infect you. β
"This is the truth of the Soul Gate...... It really is a door to your souls. β
"Behind it is not 'death', but the chaotic data that death sealed when it was ordered by the apocalypse to create your consciousness."
"Memes aren't scary...... It is a normal way of transmitting information, but once the door of the soul, the firewall of consciousness, collapses, then the meme becomes terrifying, because it is able to infect several basic rationalities of our being, and the meme becomes a memetic virus. Chen Ang said solemnly to Nick: "Can you imagine that a word I say to you, a line of words I see in a book, can change and distort your consciousness?" β
"Can you imagine a short message that can turn you into a psychopath?"
"Modern society is a society of knowledge explosion and information explosion, people receive a huge amount of information every day, once this door, this firewall is closed, it means that they are receiving a large number of memetic viruses all the time. Less than a day...... All humans in the age of the apocalypse, the new humans, will become insane. β
"This is the second assault of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!"
"Now, during the period when the wall of cognition, or common sense replaces the firewall to protect humanity, there may only be a week, and a week later, the wall of cognition will collapse, and human consciousness will be unprecedentedly fragile, facing the test of the apocalypse! You have to find a way to keep humanity alive! β
"There are also some people in the Human Revolutionary Federation who were created by the apocalypse, which is why we do not distinguish between new and old humans, the Republic has issued the first human consciousness safety warning, and the internal population is vaccinated with consciousness, and the immune system of consciousness is artificially created. Nick...... We will lend a helping hand, but you must also strengthen yourselves. β
"It's only at the last minute that we make a move."
"By that time you may have all become insane, mind-twisters, even if the Republic saves you! I don't think there will be any after-effects either......"
