2198 Death

The things that flowed from the London repeater corroded everything around it, and even Father Sissen's formless "flow" made a sizzling sound as if it had been poured with sulfuric acid. The sound was so real, but it was only heard within Father Sissen's vast visible flow range, and once it was beyond this apparent range, it turned into a powerful shock wave that destroyed a large area of what was wriggling like a living being.

Father Sissen does not seem to be able to silently withstand the corrosion of these things flowing from the inside of the London repeater, the specific shape and texture of the outflow cannot be observed with the naked eye alone, and the phenomenon observed by the eye is transmitted to the brain, this process distorts his true posture, and as for whether it can be obtained by other means other than the naked eye, neither Dorothy nor Father Sissen can answer, even if both are experiencing it themselves.

The mobile Father Sissen had begun to move away from the London repeater, and he had retreated just in time, and if he had taken a slow step, the London repeater would have taken up a huge momentum and tore him to pieces. Although the formless Father Sissen does not suffer direct damage simply because of the tearing of the form, who knows what kind of mystery is attached to the damage caused by the activity of the repeater?

If it weren't for the fact that he owed a favor, he would have to win a few partners in the future battle, otherwise, Father Sissen would not have returned to the London Repeater at such a time.

Father Sissen doesn't remember much anymore, including what happened to him after he accepted Father Edward's legacy and broke away from the battle in a formless disguise, and most of them can't be remembered. When he began to re-recognize himself, he knew what kind of state he was in now, and at the same time knew that he was still alive and successfully accepted the inheritance, achieving the disguise only in Father Edward's theory, all because he had the help of the super department.

At first, he was also surprised, because in his impression, the super system did not have the initiative, just a tool that was manipulated, however, the help he received was a kind of active help, which made him start to feel that the super system was actually self-aware. However, even if the Super Department had an active self-awareness, he could not understand what it had done to help him complete the theoretical disguise.

Even, there is no evidence to prove that it was the super department that did all this. What Father Sissen has is only a rough and vague impression.

However, as an occultist, trust in one's own intuition is inevitable and commonplace, and Father Sissen has this vague feeling, and he does not intend to deny it. Moreover, he never felt that he could accomplish this theoretical disguise on his own, for he knew very well that his occult talents were far inferior to those of Father Edward. This formless disguise, even Father Edward, is only theoretical, he has no reason at all, he can rely on his own strength to turn this theory into practice, maybe others will have a fluke mentality, hoping that luck is on their side, but Fr. Sissen does not believe in this kind of fluke.

What's more, the battles that involve mystery are very different from those of the past. In the past, the occultists could believe that they survived because of luck, but when there were not a few occultists left, this luck also became nonsense. In Father Sissen's eyes, there is no longer any luck in this ongoing apocalypse.

"Surviving" is not luck, but just an illusion. Even if there are still a small number of occult experts who have survived, their perceived luck is nothing more than an illusion based on their own subjective consciousness. In Father Sissen's understanding, they only lived until now because their death was planned to be a little later, and there are no exceptions to their death.

Death cannot be escaped or delayed, and the mystery of the occultists cannot prevent death from happening when it should happen. The more people who die, the tighter the rhythm of death, the more obvious the compulsion to die. These spreading deaths, the collapse of everything that he saw before his eyes, and the distortions that he saw were becoming more and more aware of the "doomsday truth" that he had always believed in, and how this apocalyptic truth had been verified.

It is precisely because of the completion of the theoretical disguise and the formless form and nature that we can further understand the "doomsday truth" in our hearts from an angle that we could not see in the past. A theory, a philosophy, an objective reality, a tendency that is not subject to human will, is outlining a more realistic shape of what we perceive as "doomsday truth." But even so, Father Sissen did not feel that he had fully understood the truth of the end times. On the contrary, the belief he accepted, the concept of being interpreted by his own thoughts, and the act of practicing his faith by his own will are ultimately nothing more than an inconspicuous perspective of the "truth of the end."

The closer we get to the end and the stronger the signs of the end, the more vast and complex the apocalyptic truth feels.

In the past, Fr. Sissen could explain to others with certainty what the apocalyptic truth was, but now he did not dare to do so, for fear that if he opened his mouth, he would misinterpret it. The overall structure of the apocalyptic truth he knew in his heart was completely beyond the scope of human language, and yet he did not find a new language that could replace it.

It's not that he can't speak, he just doesn't want to speak, and the vast and complex outline of the doomsday truth is putting him under tremendous pressure that others can't imagine.

Because Father Sissen can feel that he is closer than ever to the truth of the end, and even knows better than anyone else, including Shinrikyo and the Nazis, the truth of the end of the world in what way and at what pace it is coming to the world. So, he couldn't go back to the London repeater.

Although the "Black Nest" he established in the past was part of the NOG, however, he never thought of becoming a part of the NOG. He is a believer in the truth of the apocalypse, a true believer in the religion of the apocalypse, a priest who observes and interprets the truth of the apocalypse, and this knowledge has never changed in his heart. What he has done in the past, whether it is fighting the Doomsday Shinrikyo or assisting NOG, is only part of the practice of his own theory.

And now, those fates that were once formed in practice have been cut off one by one in the end of the world. Many of the people he knew were dead, almost all dead, and those who were still alive were only struggling on the line of death, and the time of death was sheltering them, and it was also determining how long they would still live. These fates, severed by "death", prove to Father Sissen again and again the reason why the truth of the end of the world is the truth.

Now, the only remaining fate is also in tatters, and the possibility of continuation has gradually lost in the apocalyptic truth. Now, with every minute and every second, Father Sissen can feel that he is one step closer to the truth of the end times. Therefore, the current self, and NOG, who has always tried to stand on the opposite side of the apocalyptic truth, are only the inevitable of becoming enemies.

If you don't doubt your impression, if you are sure that the super department has brought you to this point, then it is inevitable to return its favor. Father Sissen didn't know what the supersystem he had come into contact with was, but whatever it was, it was just as impossible to escape the apocalyptic truth. Before it collapsed, giving it back was the only thing Father Sissen could do for it.

However, Father Sissen never thought that Dorothy would defect from the repeater. The battle in the repeater is also a bit beyond imagination. Just as he thinks that the people of NOG never really know about themselves, he must admit that he also doesn't really know about the London Repeater and the people who live in it, are they really human? When they call themselves "human", aren't they wearing a layer of human skin, magnifying the concept of "human" for no reason and distorting common sense? No, when those guys who don't conform to the common sense of human beings at all claim to others that they are "human beings" and insist that they are "human beings", I am afraid that they themselves understand that they are no longer human beings in the true sense of the word.

Even if those guys are still alive after this apocalypse, including themselves, it doesn't mean that "humanity still exists" at all.

In the brief attack and defense of the London repeater, the only thing that could make Father Sissen think of it as "human" was actually the only one left. Even the magical girl who looks like a prayer can no longer represent human beings in her way of being, even if she thinks she is a human being, her ideology and thinking mode have long been very different from "human", this is no longer a problem of "thinking that you are a human being, you are a human being". The reason why human beings are human beings must have specific characteristics and commonalities in their consciousness, and if they lack such commonalities, this subjective statement of putting people first is nothing but self-deception.

Omi too, if she only uses what she observes to identify, she seems to be a person, but her ability is not at all what can be observed, and there must be such a hidden factor, which determines that her true face is definitely not the things that can be observed at the moment.

What exactly is Omi? Father Sissen didn't know, and he couldn't understand, but even so, he could still be sure that Omi was also in the plan of the apocalyptic truth, and there was no evidence that the date of death had been determined, but the feeling was so strong. Fr. Sissen felt that this keen sensibility of the death of things was the strength that he would inevitably gain as he approached the truth of the end times.

Dorothy is the ultimate weapon, not a human being, and seems to have some kind of close relationship with the super system, but Father Sissen can also feel that as long as there is a death period, no matter how near or far this period is, it will definitely not exceed the time of this end of the world.

He almost died, but he wasn't dead, but he was going to die after all.

One by one, everyone is dead.

One by one, the inhumans are also dead.

In the face of death, all beings are equal. In the face of the truth of the end times, all things are equal. In Father Sissen's eyes, there is also the indifference that this equality brings.

To say that among the equal and inevitable deaths he saw, there was anyone who was a little special. That's probably still Takakawa. He witnessed the battle between the prosthetic Takakawa and the young Takakawa from afar in an invisible and formless manner, but the feeling brought by this observation was completely different from the feeling of the same two in the past, and he remembered that the last time he knew two Takakawa, the feeling that the two sides were "two different people" was quite strong. This time, however, the feeling became blurred. If you ignore the images of both sides and observe and perceive them from other aspects, the two Takakawa are actually "confused".

The feeling that the two Takakawa gave to Father Sissen was chaotic, as if the spirals were intertwined, and the battle between the two could not even be said to be a battle, but was part of the process of spiral interweaving.

Although something terrible seemed to happen to both Takakawa later, to Father Sissen's surprise, he was unable to feel the death period in the two Takakawa. No, that's not true. In fact, I have felt the period of death several times, however, it is more vague than what I feel from other people, and if I insist on describing it, it is like the moment when the death period is close at hand, and this sense of death period disappears inexplicably.

If you feel it again, the sense of death seems to still exist, and it is approaching, and once it is close to "near", it disappears again. It's so repetitive, so peculiar.

Except for Takakawa, no one and no one else has a sense of death that is so special. But from another point of view, the apocalyptic truth that can be interpreted from Takakawa must be very different from the others, and Father Sissen is full of expectations. This can be regarded as an unexpected gain after repaying the help of the super department.

Dorothy obviously wants to contact Takakawa, but after that, what kind of scene will the apocalyptic truth appear in front of her? Fr. Sissen expects special people to bring something special, and the deeper side of the truth of the end times will be revealed in these special things and phenomena.

Father Sissen's flow swept past Dorothy, who had become as stiff as stone, and the two inhumans disappeared from the observable range of the London repeater.
