PS: Happy New Year, Happy New Year. Because it's important, say it twice.

Marceau decided to go somewhere, and she was filled with a sense of fate, which I was not surprised to find, and I don't know how many times I had such a sense of fate in my adventures, but the results of this sense of fate were not always good. However, the sense of destiny arises precisely because it is impossible to resist the push of this fate, and although it sets out with hope, it is not clear what will be harvested in the end until we reach the end. On the other hand, it is precisely because of the expectation of the result that there is no rejection of this sense of destiny, and when you embark on a journey, you can take a good mood, because, whether you reject or not, you will eventually embark on a certain destined path, so that it can be called destiny. Knowing that it is a bad outcome, so you can choose not to go, because you don't know the outcome, so you choose to take other paths, these are not the definition of "fate".

Fate is predetermined, when a sense of fate arises, a journey with an uncertain future will inevitably begin, I know that it is completely impossible for me to stop Marceau, she cannot stop herself, if it can be stopped, it can be reversed, it cannot be called fate. All I can do is keep my promises.

"I'll save you, Marceau." No matter how the world changes, how she changes, whether she is still the girl I know well, this promise has always been deep in my heart, in the past apocalyptic fantasy, the first time I met her, I have always existed.

Marceau looked at me without much expression, perhaps, I was just a casual passer-by on a whim for her in this repeater world, and she didn't care about me as much as I thought. However, this has nothing to do with my feelings for her. I know her, I love her like it's fate, I want to save her, I don't think she treats me. And only that, I'm Takakawa, and she's Marceau. This is a responsibility that normal people will not bear, and it is also a stubborn emotion that is regarded as distorted and stupid in common sense, but if I am not such an ignorant and stubborn person, then what is the difference between me and other ordinary people?

I am unique, and I have always believed so. Overlooking the vast sea of people. Although I am small, I am not a homogeneous part of society.

I hugged Marceau, who seemed a little taken aback, struggled for a moment, but was hugged hard by me, and then calmed down. Gregoria looked at me in surprise and said, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? "It's like being surprised and puzzled by an unexpected change in the plot.

"Where are you going? Marceau. "I let go of Marceau. Staring into her eyes, he asked again.

"I don't know." Marceau shook her head. A little confused, "go with the feeling." ”

"Can't you go if you don't go?" Gregoria asked, knowing what she seemed to understand, but still confused. Marceau wants to leave, Marceau's sense of fate is probably for her. It's just an unreal situation. For her, it is a matter of course to go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants. I think, in her heart. may say: Since you don't want to go, then don't go, any sense of fate is nonsense. I can understand that, because she hasn't been in contact with the "mystery" for a long time, and she hasn't really felt the sense of fate that she can't help herself.

"If you can choose for yourself, it's not fate, and if you can break it, it's not fate." Marceau said to her.

Gregoya shrugged, and though she didn't speak again, she still had a disapproving expression. For her, fate is probably something that can be changed and broken. However, this is only a difference in definition, and what we call "fate" is not the same thing as "fate" as she understands it. Just as gods are omniscient and omnipotent, people like Gregoa would probably disagree, because what she understands as "gods" is affirmative. For us, the perception of gods is simple: those who cannot be omniscient are not "gods". Therefore, what can be changed and broken is not "fate". This is push-back.

The occult, acknowledging such great and lofty concepts as "fate" and "gods", is more of a backward definition. Therefore, the "fate" that is broken and changed by the protagonist in the novel, the flawed gods, is not the "fate" and "god" of the occult, because it is broken and changed because it is flawed.

"The bond between us will bring us together again." I said to Marceau.

"Maybe." Marceau's smile was the cleanest and brightest I've ever seen since I met her in this nightmare Las Vegas.

I let go of the reluctance and worry in my heart, Marceau has been hiding her affairs from me, and I have never been able to find her, this is a fact that I cannot change.

"Why are you here?" I asked, looking at Gregia.

Gregoria immediately looked a little frustrated, and Marceau replied on her behalf, "She accepted the invitation." "There seems to be some secret between the two of them, but unless I use the power of consciousness, I probably won't be able to pry their mouths open. To tell the truth, the last time Gregoria was attacked by the Smoky Face, she had to borrow Marceau's power, and since then she has been very resistant to the area where the watch shop is located, and she is also full of wariness and resistance to entering the ghost nightmare of other people. However, after such a frightened mood, I think she still can't let go of the curiosity in her heart. Perhaps it was a chance that her curiosity got the better of her, and she came to the watch shop again to discover Marceau's secrets. Judging from the current situation, she may have known something, but she also lost something because of it.

The two of them drank tea here, seemingly peaceful, but Gregya's vivid expression could not be concealed by pretending to be calm.

I don't think we should get too involved with the two of them, unless they make it clear that they need help. Of course, this decision is not a hunch or intuition. Even if you need to understand the situation, I don't think this is a good time at this time, and if you force it with a tough attitude, you will inevitably fall into embarrassment.

"When are you leaving?" I looked at Marceau.

"Immediately." Marceau said.

"Actually......" Gregia interjected, "Isn't it just that you can meet here no matter where you are, just sleep?" You don't need to look like you are parting with life and death. ”

Marceau shook her head and didn't speak, her attitude was already a clear hint. Conversely. If you can come here to reunite in your dreams, no matter what happens when you wake up, you don't need to say goodbye. And it was Marceau's departure without a sound that made me deeply feel the changes that have taken place in her during this time. Marceau has become more gentle than when he first met her. It's more human, and as strange as it is, when I first met her, she gave me the feeling of being more like a ghost, full of weird and dangerous atmosphere, rather than a normal girl. That's why I'm going to start from the beginning. From her anomaly, it is associated with ghost nightmares.

"Marceau, are you mentally ill?" At this time, I finally asked this sentence. A long time ago, although there was some speculation based on Marceau's dress, but during this trip to Paris, after getting information about the specific electronic demon messenger from Apricot and Ryder. It's more certain. Even so, I'm not sure. Start with a psychiatric hospital in Las Vegas to start with what the odds are that you can find her. Because, Marceau is a specific electronic demon messenger, and when she gains mysterious powers, ordinary methods probably can't lock and capture it. Father Edward accepted my commission. But there has been no news so far, and I don't think it's because he broke his word or lied. Under this premise, Marceau could not be found, as it was proven. She is truly extraordinary.

"I don't know, but a lot of people say I am." Marceau's face still has a bright smile, but it makes people intuitively feel that there is something eerie hidden behind this smile, which is not so clean. This smile is enough to make people have some bad associations, such as Marceau's ill-fated fate before becoming an electronic demon messenger, so he decided to take revenge after obtaining the "mystery".

However, this kind of speculation, which has no actual evidence, is still groundless. I've never seen Marceau in the reality of the repeater world, and just from seeing her in this nightmare Las Vegas, there must be a lot of mistakes when you speculate about her personality and behavior. It has been proven that there is a difference between what people look like in the network and what they do in real society, and so on, how likely is it that the electronic demon messenger can maintain consistency in his words, deeds, and personality in nightmares and reality?

I still had many questions to ask, and yet, the next moment, Marceau disappeared without movement. Gregoria couldn't help but exclaim, she was still drinking black tea at that moment, and I witnessed the whole process of Marceau's disappearance - without a process, one moment there was still zài, and the next moment it was gone.

"What happened?" Gregoria was a little uneasy, and at this time, I followed her gaze to her hand, and the teacup that had been held disappeared without warning.

There was no time to answer, and in the next moment, the ticking of the clock became dense and chaotic, and we looked at the dial, only to see that all the hands were rotating rapidly, some clockwise, some counterclockwise, and some detached from the dial, like phantoms suspended in mid-air. The watch shop seemed to be engulfed in darkness, losing a large silhouette in every blink of an eye. However, even if the silhouette of the building has been lost and the part is completely darkened, the phantom of the clock is still suspended there, and it is still multiplying in number, as if it is trying to fill the space with a clock.

Gregoya looked overwhelmed and grabbed my hand tightly. Another breath passed, and the entire watch shop collapsed completely, leaving only darkness and the phantom of the clock floating in the darkness all around, ticking and turning. When I turned around, I saw that there was still a door-like light in the same place where the store had been, as if to suggest that we should leave there.

Marceau is gone.

With this in mind, I stretched out the invisible high-speed passage of the swift sweep. Grabbing Gregoa's hand, I scurried towards the light-like gate, and in an instant I was back in nightmare Las Vegas. With this expression, Gregoya turned back with me to look at the watch shop, which was no longer there, not the wreckage left behind by the destruction, but the fact that the land had disappeared, and the shops that had been separated from each other had now become neighbors.

"Am I dazzled?" Gregoa's mouth opened wide, she was also an electronic demon messenger, she had her own intelligence channels, and naturally knew a lot about the electronic demon messenger, but. The impact of Marceau's departure may have been something she had never heard of. I haven't heard of a single electronic demon messenger who can poach his ghost nightmare from Nightmare Las Vegas.

Yes, "poaching". The relationship between Ghost Nightmare and Nightmare Las Vegas. It has long been thought of as resembling the relationship between architecture and the city – and it seems to be what it is. In the past, if the Ghost Nightmare collapsed, the building it is located will not disappear from Nightmare Las Vegas. This time, however, the watch shop, which is Marceau's ghost nightmare, is gone before our eyes, as it is. Nightmare Las Vegas has never had a building like this.

"What the hell is going on?" Gregoa looked at me, hoping I could give an explanation, but I really couldn't. The only thing that can be thought of is the information about the "inherent barrier" that Kyoko and Ryder said. That strange watch shop is very much like Marceau's inherent enchantment, and now the situation, is she putting away the inherent enchantment? I can only guess, and I can't know for sure for the time being. Marceau's table at this time, in my feelings. It's more of a special case, not something that every Electro Demon Emissary can do with the inherent enchantment. On the other hand, if the disappearance of the watch shop is seen as Marceau's strong control over her own inherent barriers, then at least you don't need to worry too much about her situation.

That is to say. Can I do that too? "Gregora was a little excited, and on the way to the meeting place, I told her about the Specificity Electro Demon Messenger and the Inherent Enchantment. As I expected, she connected the power of the inherent enchantment with the strange and extraordinary phenomena caused by Marceau's disappearance. And he is very interested in how to obtain the inherent enchantment. However, I'm not really an electronic demon messenger, so I can't give much advice on this.

As usual, we entered the bar run by NOG. There have been some changes to the furnishings, but the big changes in the layout have not yet begun, and the owner of the bar has mentioned that he wants to operate this place as a base, so the continuous change in the situation of the store is to be expected. With an in-depth understanding of the electronic demon system, as well as the use and discovery of various techniques, it is not impossible to build a bar based on ghost nightmares, even if it changes three times a day.

I didn't have any specific plans for entering Nightmare Las Vegas this time, Marceau's farewell was something I hadn't expected, and the same was true of the members of the Whisperers who met in the bar, as well as the other members of the Outer Intelligence Organization "The Lovers Under the Scenes". This invariably assembled is full of coincidences, but it is not.

Gregoria has been collecting information about Black Smoke Face, and the other people in the "Behind-the-Scenes Lover" also have their own concerns, and there has been no formal contact between the members, except for Nightmare Las Vegas, and even, it is not clear the real identity and address of the others. If they have to make contact with each other, unless agreed in advance in Nightmare Las Vegas, only the email address of the person who whispers the invitation will be forwarded. After all, although the "Lover Under the Scenes" has a certain degree of independence, it is not completely independent, and its relationship with the Whisperer is similar to the relationship between the Goat Guild and the Doomsday Shinrikyo.

In many ways, the connection between the Whisperer and the various members of the Makushita Lover is deeper than the connection between the various members of the Makushita Lover, and this work is managed by Hakkei. Zuo Chuan, who stayed in the Whisperer's headquarters, used NOG to modulate the electronic demon summoning program and became the female teacher and female foreman of the electronic demon messenger, and would appear in this place at the same time, if there is no adjustment of the eight scenes, I don't believe it. Later, it was also proved that this rally was an invitation initiated by Gregoa, and after the Whisperer headquarters was transited, it was valued by Eight Scenes, and this "coincidence" was arranged.

The whisperer, Sagawa, and the lover of the curtain asked for a private room at the bar, and when Gregoya and I entered the bar, Sagawa was asking for some appetizers from the bar. When she saw the two of us, there was no surprise of "chance encounter". After we entered the box together, the maforewoman who had just become the electronic demon messenger used a certain ability to "seal" the inside of the box, and from the phenomenon of it, it was like being wrapped in bubbles, but the actual use was of course not just what it seems. This is the first time I've seen the ability to apply to "secrecy", and the name she gives to this ability is "Unspeakable Secrets", and the official code name she gave herself is very casually the name "Foreman".

After eliminating the Mysterious Seed, he once again obtained the "Mystery", and he also entered such a "wonderful" nightmare, and the "foreman" seemed very excited. Compared with her, the female teacher, who also used the name "teacher" as a code name, was much calmer and stricter. What happened to them, and the process of joining the whisperers, was not uneventful, but it was pretty bad, and I don't think they could have been in a better mood at the time. However, at that time, after I explained some of the ins and outs to them on behalf of the whisperers, they quickly adjusted their mood and showed a mature and rational side.

I think that even if they are not mature enough in terms of "mystery", they can well complement the young structure of the whisperer in terms of personality. Sakuya and Hachisei, it's not Sakuya and Hachisei, they have to grow up again, and before that, the backbone of the whisperers is actually Zuo Chuan, the female foreman and the female teacher.

The ability of the female maîtress "unspeakable secret" is both an ability and an electronic demon, which can construct a space that strictly distinguishes between "inside" and "outside" and puts an end to the flow of information between them. Such a unique electronic demon, I think, is because, she has a mysterious seed in her body, and with some skills, she can also achieve "defense" and "attack", but for the female foreman who has just become an electronic demon messenger, it takes a lot of training to use it skillfully and adapt to local conditions.

The electronic demon of the female teacher is not so unique, and it has a high compatibility with her profession, which is what a book looks like. This book-like electronic demon called "preaching" has the ability to "preach" as its name suggests, which is "preaching", and it is also an ability that is biased towards consciousness. Leaving aside the specific process of ability for the time being, its ability is to "preach" and instill information into one's own or others' consciousness, and in a certain way, it can even instill new information through guò, guiding and distorting the original information, in short, it is like a tough version of "hypnosis" - for the profession of teachers, you can directly extract your own knowledge and instill it in one breath to a student, so that it can obtain this knowledge without much effort, but for the skills of using knowledge, is not helpful. But even so, it is a dream for ordinary people. Female teachers have tried to use "preaching" to collect knowledge that they don't know and indoctrinate themselves, although it is very reluctant to do, but it is indeed possible, and it is almost all an advantage compared to learning new knowledge in a normal way.

During the time I traveled to Paris with Dr. Nguyen Li, the "amount of knowledge" of female teachers increased by an unknown amount, and of course, the question of whether this knowledge could be used effectively was also a question.

The two new Whisperers are both newborn electronic demon messengers with significant auxiliary abilities and insufficient offensive abilities, but their ability characteristics are also enough to feed back to John Bull as a real number of jù. If we can summarize more new generation of electronic demon messengers similar to them, we can gradually find out the modulation of NOG and the impact on the electronic demon summoning program, and then improve the cognition of the electronic demon system.

For me, the difference between the female teacher who has been removed from the Seed of Mystery and the female maîtress who has been reimplanted with the Seed of Mystery can be seen faintly. I originally thought that Marceau's ghost nightmare was special because she was also implanted with a mysterious seed, but summarizing the existing information, it can be found that it is not that simple. Whether she had been implanted with the Seed of Mystery also became confusing. (To be continued......)
