1344 Propulsion
Fences and barbed wire divide the lawn and woods in half, and beyond that the land belonging to the psychiatric hospital belongs. The asylum changed hands many times, each time by its owner, and until now, the ownership of the asylum is in the hands of a pharmaceutical giant, whose owner is a man named "Dallas", who has also done what previous generations of psychiatric hospital owners have done, and he has expanded the entire area of the psychiatric hospital in the direction of the peninsula, completely occupying the dividing line between the interior and the peninsula. This means that, in order to leave the peninsula, if you want to leave the peninsula, you have to go through a psychiatric hospital and go deep into the interior in the opposite direction. And I don't think that, in this situation, this is something that ordinary people can do.
I don't know much about Dallas as a person, and he also existed in the hospital in reality, and he was a partner for a period of time at that time, but it is obvious that there is a huge difference in identity and personality between Dallas in the hospital reality and Dallas in this repeater world, and this difference is more obvious than Dr. Ruan Li himself. My perception of Dallas in this repeater world can be retrieved from the public, his public identity as the operator of a pharmaceutical company, and the description of him by Dr. Nguyen Li.
Dallas is a long-time business partner of Dr. Nguyen Lê, and all of Dr. Nguyen's undisclosed research to date has been conducted by Dallas under the name of a pharmaceutical company employed by Dallas. Dallas' pharmaceutical companies, of course, were paid handsomely for Dr. Nguyen's research, and the partnership remained at a steady level until the Peninsula incident. At the same time, Dallas had a relationship with the Seminar, so the Symposium was able to use the Peninsula Psychiatric Hospital for its own activities, and the relationship between the two was so close. It also gave Dr. Nguyen Le no reason not to continue his research in this Peninsula psychiatric hospital.
Under normal circumstances, I don't think Dallas has a reason to turn its back on Dr. Nguyen Lê as a colleague but, in the words of Dr. Nguyen, "Dallas is already showing signs of being eroded by Claudia White." In another way that I can easily understand, Dallas already has mystical powers. And I saw this firsthand when I used the Cyberball's surveillance system to investigate it.
Dallas is an electronic demon messenger, and I knew about that fact alone before Dr. Nguyen Li.
Although all the mysterious events on the peninsula can be related to the seminar, and the seminar is exposed, and what it does is more like the owner of a mental hospital. But I never forgot that Dallas was the rightful owner of the hospital. The expansion and operation of the psychiatric hospital, and even the expansion to the entire peninsula, led to all kinds of political and commercial activities in the surrounding towns, which were in essence closely related to Dallas. Therefore, Dallas is behind the symposium and intervenes in the current events in a macro-controlled manner – this probability is as high as more than 90%.
Dr. Nguyen Li's suspicions made me think that he might have taken refuge in the deteriorating part of the Doomsday Shinrikyo behind the seminar. It is a high-level member of the Doomsday Shinrikyo that has developed in this repeater world, and it has practical significance. And the Doomsday Shinrikyo in the Doomsday Illusion is active in this repeater. Nine times out of ten, it was probably executed on behalf of Dallas.
This means that Dallas himself interfered with the seminar as Doomsday Shinrikyo interfered with the seminar, and Dallas's decision was, in a way, the decision of Doomsday Shinrikyo. Dallas himself is in a rather critical and sensitive position.
Such assumptions took shape only after entering the peninsula with the increase in intelligence. Subsequently, I thought about trying to start with Dallas and combat the activism of the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion. However, in addition to the relationship in Paris, the pass guò network ball. Glimpsing beyond Dallas, he had been quietly hidden in the darkness. It is impossible to capture his location, let alone determine how many instructions were given by him personally, and how many were spontaneous actions of the seminar.
Only one thing is certain, Dr. Nguyen Le knows Dallas better than anyone else on my side, and at least half of the danger she faces is rooted in Dallas herself. I wasn't naïve enough to think that killing Dallas would stop the Doomsday Shinrikyo plot and get the seminar's research back in the direction Dr. Nguyen Lê wanted. This is not impossible, even Dr. Nguyen Li herself has no hope for this, and all the bad situations I have seen can be attributed to what she can recognize: all those who try to get in touch with the "mystery", and all those who already have the "mystery", are the victims of Claudia White, and these victims have accounted for more than half of the seminar, and the general trend is irreversible.
For Dr. Nguyen Lê, there is no such thing as mystery, and as a result, "the ninety-adult hand of the seminar has become mentally ill." That's what she warned me.
The purpose of the seminar is to prevent Claudia from turning all the people in this world into mentally ill people, and to guide the coming of the end of mankind, but such research is risky, and the need for close contact with White Claudia means that the researcher has a higher chance of being infected - this is the reality in the eyes of Dr. Ruan Li: including a fourth-level magic pattern messenger like me, all those mysterious organizations, all kinds of strange mysterious power systems, and all those people who use "mystery", All of them are a group of psychopaths, manic, schizophrenic, and imaginary people who think they have "supernatural powers", and they are in their own world every moment, and it is difficult to recognize what the real reality is.
I know very well how simple the world is in the eyes of Dr. Nguyen Li: everyone around me is in the scope of the infection of Claudia White, and there are constantly people who are becoming more and more mentally abnormal because of the infection, which leads to the collapse of the human social order, and when the weight of the patient occupies a certain proportion of the whole human race, the human society itself will lose the ability to face reality, and then cannot engage in the real activities that truly sustain its own life. Just because of the illusion, the self-consciousness of being a person with extraordinary abilities and brutally attacking others, and then causing large-scale disorderly riots, or being driven by illusions, to engage in orderly warfare, is not the main reason for the real end of mankind. The real reason for the demise of humanity is that even if it does nothing, it will perish. People in the illusion will think that they are doing the production of sustaining society and survival, but in fact they are not doing it at all, but are endlessly destroying miè resources.
For Dr. Nguyen Lê, this is the so-called end of the world. The essence is the end of humanity. The seminar was originally designed to prevent this apocalypse, but the erosion of Claudia White was too rapid, and the order and purpose of the seminar itself were degraded. Friends from the past are no longer trustworthy, and the mentally ill have turned against those who want to save them.
Of course, this is the apocalyptic scene that Dr. Nguyen Li can observe based on his own cognition and perspective. And Dr. Nguyen Lê and the seminar are only a part of the Doomsday Shinrikyo that has spontaneously formed in this world. The same is the study of Claudia White. However, researchers from other disciplines will come to a different conclusion from Dr. Ruan Li, based on the apocalyptic conclusion of White Claudia - it is the end of the world from physics, chemistry, mathematics and other disciplines, the origin is still White Claudia, but the phenomenon produced is different from Dr. Ruan Li's cognition.
However, those people have their own research methods and research organizations. At the time when Dr. Nguyen Le and the seminar were operating on this peninsula. They must have their own actions. Something happens in this world all the time that we don't know, and we know we don't know – that's a quote from someone. And here, I deeply realized it.
I sometimes think that the reason why I think that what is happening on this peninsula is the key and core of the changes that are taking place in this world of repeaters is simply because I am in the middle of it. However. If I think like this, it will only be endless, because my cognition can only be based on my understanding of myself, based on my perspective of observing the world, so it is absolutely inevitable to think in a self-centered way.
I'm not skilled. I can only try to do something based on my observations, based on the current place I am in, and the events I am going to face. At such a time, it makes no sense to think about what the unexpected people on the peninsula are doing, and whether they are the focus of the end of the world or not.
I've always felt that being able to determine the importance of Dallas, rightly or wrongly, has been the limit of my thinking. The situation beyond the peninsula is no longer able to be ignored, and the situation on the peninsula alone is getting worse and worse, no matter from what point of view.
Although my plan was completed under the premise that "the situation tacitly guided by the mysterious organizations of all parties cannot be stopped", it is also part of the plan to protect the people I care about when the situation collapses. Even if the mysterious organizations of all parties complete the sacrifice, even if the monsters of Nightmare Las Vegas descend here, even if the entire peninsula becomes a battlefield because of the temporary hedge, it is not a situation worth caring about to me. What really cares about me is the safety of the people I care about in the process of such a change.
Since Marceau has become like that, then her safety can be handed over to the Cyberball, and Marceau's identity also gives me reason to believe that she will be protected by the Cyberball, even if the Repeater World completely collapses, she can exit safely. But it's not just Marceau who cares about me, Dr. Nguyen Lê also Sakuya and Hakkei, who are far away in the Central Duchy, the surviving android Zuo Chuan, and the other members of the Whisperers, and I hope they all survive if possible.
If you want to seize this Las Vegas repeater and inevitably destroy this repeater world and make everyone die, it is also a helpless thing, and you will not stop doing it because of this helplessness. However, such a result is always a psychological bottom line, and I never think that Gao Chuan should only act according to the results of the psychological bottom line and strive for better results.
Therefore, I have been trying to fight for a better possibility before such a situation that touches the bottom line becomes a reality, and now, of course, I cannot take Dr. Nguyen Li's death for granted just because "sacrifice is inevitable" and "Dr. Nguyen Lê's failure is inevitable". In this world, there are many things that are taken for granted, but there are also emotional things that cannot be taken for granted.
My rationality allows me to speculate on most outcomes, but it is emotion that drives my actions. Because of the sensibility, I don't stop Dr. Nguyen Li's thoughts and actions, and because of the sensibility. I want to make sure that after she has done all those dangerous acts, I still have to keep her safe, and even more people safe.
This sacrificial ritual, which was tacitly promoted by the mysterious organizations of all parties, was definitely not done by sacrificing everyone on the peninsula, on the contrary, the innocent were implicated and had no ability to protect their victims. There are more victims than actually being sacrificed.
I was powerless to stop the situation and had to let it go, but I was already starting to reach a limit where I could put up with it.
Save Dr. Nguyen Li, and save as many others as possible - there is no way to become a sacrifice and be attacked by the mysterious organization first, but it is really sad not to become a sacrifice, but to die in the aftermath of mysterious events, as well as some selfish desires and conspiracies. I know. There must be very few people I can rescue, but that's why I can do my best.
Because no matter how hard you try, you can't save everyone, and you can't destroy the plans of the mysterious organizations of all parties, so let's do it.
Even killing Dallas won't stop anything. But at least I can let the mysterious organization confirm my ability once again, if I can shelter Dr. Nguyen Li and them. So, just do it.
Until Yiqiē's plan is on the table, all the promoters of the turmoil cannot be hidden, and everyone's hole cards are revealed, it is the time to defeat everyone, then. Just do it.
I am ambivalent, I have allowed such a collapse to occur, and I have to sit idly by and watch these dangers develop, while making sure that such dangers do not spread. I indulge and even push for the end of the world for this repeater. But when the end of the world comes, I want to protect the people I care about.
I know very well what this contradiction is, so my mind is not confused, but I have a reason to do it. What I want to save is not just this world, but all the worlds that I can observe, and it will inevitably conflict with saving the current world. I am not strong enough to maintain this repeater and end all disputes without damage. On the contrary, if these disputes do not arise, I have little chance of competing for this repeater.
I hate the trade-off, and I hate to embellish it with high-sounding reasons, but, for now, the trade-off is inevitable. That's why I can't be a hero in the truest sense of the word.
When I stopped, my phone rang. Of the four people I put down, only Tomie was able to maintain a normal state, and Mitsui Tsukao, the soothsayer, and the fitness instructor all had uncomfortable expressions on their faces, and they looked even weaker than before. They retched for a while, but were visibly pricking up their ears as well, trying to hear the sound coming from my phone.
It's just that I don't think they can hear it in such a storm.
"I'm Takakawa." I wiped the rain from my face and said, holding the long knife around my waist.
"Achuan? It's me. Dr. Nguyen Li's voice was not very clear, but intuitively, it was indeed me. It's great to be able to connect at a time like this.
"Dallas is key, right?" Before she spoke, I first confirmed the question.
“…… Yes, but it's not a problem for Achuan to face, it's a problem for me. Dr. Nguyen Li paused and said, "I'm sorry, Ah Chuan, the situation has become out of control. I thought ......"
I interrupted her self-reproach and said, "It's okay. I met Mr. Mitsukasuka, and they ...... Yes, yes, it's the three of them, there should be no problem. They're all victims now, and mom needs them now, right? ”
The three of Mitsukasuo next to him pricked up their ears.
"Understood, I'll give you the address, you come and meet, I'm still doing it here, I can't go away." Dr. Ruan Li thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Ah Chuan, I thought about picking you up too sooner, but I also have a lot of problems here......
"It's okay, we're family, there's no need to say sorry." I interrupted her again, I couldn't hear it clearly in the rain, but Dr. Nguyen Li's feelings were visibly low. I don't know what happened to her, but she really doesn't need to blame herself, and even if she did make a mistake, I believe that she must have done her best based on the judgment of the situation. (To be continued......)
