In front of the prosthetic body Gao Chuan, the originally boundless battlefield was completely emptied. Nazi soldiers, security guards, bullets, incalculable mysteries, geological formations that were constantly crumbling under the ravages of war, all disappeared without a trace after walking in that nightmare consciousness, as if they had never been in this world. The sudden silence of the battlefield quietly breeds a sense of terror that haunts her heart, and she can't understand what happened, and the scale of what has disappeared has exceeded her imagination.

"To ...... What the hell is going on? …… Mr. Takakawa? Looking at Takakawa, who felt familiar, compared to the young man Takakawa she faced before, Takakawa in front of her was full of things she was familiar with and looking forward to, both in appearance and appearance. Because the battlefield is full of incredible dangers, when the familiarity of common sense comes in, she can't help but think that everything will be on the right track—back to the battles she is familiar with. However, she was wrong.

It only took a blink of an eye for this much more normal prosthetic Takakawa to destroy everything that seemed to be on the right track. It is true that, as far as the eye can see, the war has subsided, and there is no need to hide in Tibet, for fear of being drawn into that elusive and dangerous situation, however, this end is not achieved by means of common sense, but is itself an extreme anomaly. What is presented behind this end, in her intuition, is releasing a sense of horror and fear that she cannot describe, but can only tremble all over.

It's hard to describe what I felt, it does mean that something terrible has happened, but it is not limited to this, the Nazi soldiers and security guards who have completely disappeared have definitely not become "nothing", but have been transformed into something else, but they do not know what they have become and what kind of use they will have. This battlefield will be completely wiped out in the blink of an eye, and the influence will be chained outward at a terrifying speed, and what kind of situation will be created is already unpredictable for the last two people left on this battlefield.

I can think of all kinds of changes, but what makes her feel the most strongly and most directly is still the immediate fact that "the entire battlefield was wiped out in the blink of an eye" - is the Gao Chuan she is familiar with really so powerful? No, in her cognition, there had never been a single person or non-human with such terrible powers and abilities, otherwise, if it weren't for the Nazis, if it weren't for her own side, one side would have been finished long ago. She looked at the familiar-looking Gao Chuan in front of her, the appearance of this human figure seemed to be deforming in her heart little by little, turning into an indescribable, but definitely inhuman image.

The question she wanted to ask was not "what happened?" but "What are you?" ”

However, the moment this question surfaced in her mind, the trembling emotion bound it to the bottom of her mind. The huge and chaotic thoughts and emotions were boiling, making him feel as if he hadn't woken up yet, and he only subconsciously heard Gao Chuan reply: "...... It was just a conscious walk. It seems that there is no better explanation than to say that.

Consciousness walking, this is a term that comes from outsiders for consciousness interference technology, of course, its original meaning is probably a little different from the definition in the Ruling Bureau technology. In general, outsiders' descriptions and definitions of their own power are rather rough and vague, with little technical component, and more like a direct description of its meaning rather than its essence. However, in some narrow senses, it is indeed a convenient way to understand the effects of these mysterious forces in the definition inherent to the Governing Bureau, and it has always been through the definition of the Governing Bureau's technology to reorganize the power of these outsiders, and the so-called "consciousness walking" is naturally among them.

It is precisely because I have carefully analyzed and sorted out that I am very sure that what is happening in front of me is definitely not something that can be achieved by simply "walking on consciousness". Rather, even if "conscious walking" is used, the act of conscious walking and its effects only serve as an introduction in the process of leading to the final result. The operational process that really makes this battlefield completely disappear is certainly no longer in the category of "consciousness walking". It is precisely because there is an unspeakable situation that occurs after the conscious walk, which ultimately leads to such a terrible result, that makes people feel so uneasy.

However, even if she wanted to ask, she felt that she couldn't ask for more specific information from the prosthetic Takakawa, because she had already noticed that the prosthetic Takakawa himself was also deeply affected by the shock of the disappearance of the battlefield - although there were other emotions mixed in, but it was not the emotion generated by the insight into everything, but the fear of terrible conjectures, which meant that no matter what kind of conclusion this Takakawa reached, it could still only be regarded as his personal conjecture, not the real fact.

Conjecture may be close to the truth, but conjecture alone cannot get the truth. I felt that there was no point in continuing to question this matter, first of all, what the two of them had to do was to accept the fact that this battlefield had disappeared, and use this as a premise to decide what to do next. When she straightened out her logic, she only felt like she had suddenly woken up from a nightmare.

"Mr. Takakawa......" was about to say something to the prosthetic Takakawa, when a strong impulse surged back into her heart, forcing her to subconsciously look up. She didn't know what she was going to see, but there was some kind of great presence that was reversing her attention from the darkness. And this huge sense of existence seemed to pop out of her own mind - she felt that she could imagine what it looked like, but she couldn't actually do it, it was like a delusion born in her mind, but she felt that it would appear in the direction she was looking at, so she had to look at the past.

Takakawa had the same feeling, his gaze was drawn in the same direction, and the sky seemed to be nothing—at first, but, as if it were an illusion, a piece of the gloomy background seemed to loosen a little, and when he looked intently, he realized that he was not mistaken, the dark background color was slightly agitated, as if it was about to give birth to something. Prosthetic Takakawa tried to feel what it was, but there was a sharp pain in his brain, as if something was about to drill open the brain, split the skull, and pop out of it.

He subconsciously thought of the rampage-like "consciousness walking" before. Originally, he planned to enter the collective human subconscious through consciousness walking, restore the connection with the London Repeater, and distort this battlefield to a greater extent from the perspective of the London Repeater, so as to change the tragedy of this battlefield and the crisis faced by himself and others. However, the rampage's "consciousness walking" only stops at the act of consciousness walking, and what he encounters in the consciousness walking makes him have no extra energy to do more things at all, and just keeping his self-awareness is already about to drive him crazy.

No, even now, Prosthetic Takakawa is not sure if the thing he touched during the conscious walk is the thing he thinks, and whether the person he comes into contact with is actually crazy, just thinking that he is not crazy.

If you want to say that the prosthetic Gao Chuan felt that there was something wrong with his consciousness walking before, then he can only summarize it in one sentence: diving too fast and too deep, whether it is speed or depth, it is no longer the degree that subjective consciousness can control.

Now, this inexplicable attraction, which seems to be coming out of his own brain, has nothing to do with his own rampage of consciousness, he himself can hardly believe it.

Prosthetic Takakawa's eyes widened unblinkingly, and he endured the twitching and pain in his head, and finally put together a shape in his mind like a puzzle of what was wriggling in the dark background: like a blooming flower. As he sketched out the concrete outline of the form, he suddenly knew what it was, and the answer was undoubted, and it was something he should have known as a matter of course.

"London repeater ......?" Taka Kawa couldn't help muttering to himself, this thing that he should know for granted appeared in front of him and Ji as a matter of course.

If everything goes according to plan, then the London Repeater, which represents the cyberball, should remain in the collective human subconscious.

But, now—

The sky, which was so huge that it seemed to be able to overturn the entire battlefield, was filling the sky, and the originally rather gloomy and dead scene was instantly squeezed out by this huge sense of presence and oppression, but it was difficult to make people feel better. This strong sense of presence and oppression is simply suffocating. But in any case, the things that appear on this anomalous battlefield are not from the enemy, and this alone is enough to make people breathe a sigh of relief.

The battlefield was unusually ended, and then something new and equally anomalous appeared, a series of unexpected changes that made me feel like a fool asking "what the hell is going on" over and over again. She was sure that everything that happened in front of her was played a key role in it, and this seemingly familiar prosthetic Gao Chuan was definitely not the prosthetic Gao Chuan she was familiar with. The same appearance, the same qualities, or even the same personality do not mean that they are the same in essence.

"It's a repeater for the Cyberball." Prosthetic Takagawa pressed his faintly aching head and comforted him in his own way: "No matter why it appears here, but since it has appeared, it means that we still have a chance...... No, maybe it would have been easier to solve the problem, whether it was a question of physical life or a problem of the Nazis. ”

Despite this, however, the prosthetic Takagawa himself also understood that there must be some circumstances that broke the original plan of himself and others, so the appearance of the London repeater certainly does not mean the arrival of the trump card, but more likely means that his trump card has failed.

The London Repeater is like moving from fantasy and nothingness to reality, and materiality becomes more and more intense after its image is constituted, and just a breath of time is enough to make one feel sure that it is not just an "illusion" or an "image" or something like that, but a solid and huge floating fortress. Even Takakawa had never seen the London Repeater when it was first built, and he had only touched a part of the Repeater, so he couldn't compare it with the image of the flower-like floating fortress in front of him, but he had a strong feeling that the image he had seen was definitely not the true and complete appearance of the London Repeater.

Just as the two of them looked at the London repeater that was covering the audience, in the retina screen of the prosthetic Takakawa, Dorothy's message went online.

"I really didn't expect it to converge in this situation, Achuan."

"What the hell is going on?" Prosthetic Gao Chuan couldn't help but ask.

"The specific situation is very troublesome, you guys come up first." Dorothy did not continue to explain, but informed, "Anyway, if we can't get rid of the Nazi repeaters before the Doomsday Shinrikyo touches the monsters of the collective human subconscious, we're in big trouble." ”

Of course, Prosthetic Takakawa wanted to know more about the situation, but judging from Dorothy's tone, they had just suffered a blow and were still in the process of sorting it out. His hunch was not wrong, his previous conscious walk did involve the "monster of the collective human subconscious", and first caused a series of bad situations in the collective human subconscious, and now, these bad conditions will be linked to the material world.

Taka Kawa didn't ask any more questions here, he looked at him and said, "Looks like we're all going to join Sha." ”

"Really? That's pretty good, too. He had been disconnected from Sha for a long time, and finally got the relevant news again, and the heavy and suspicious tone that had been there was finally a little lighter. Looking at this repeater of incredible size, thinking about the enemies who also possessed the repeater, he finally found a sense of balance at this time. In the past days, she has seen enough of the strength of the enemy, and the most powerful place of the enemy often revolves around the core of the "repeater", although the body life has always been the great enemy of the aborigines, but after seeing the various changes caused by the stupid chain of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Religion, the recognition that "having a repeater is really powerful" has also quietly taken root in the hearts of the people.

Now, our own repeater has finally arrived, and although it is an outsider's thing, there is no point in distinguishing between outsiders and natives in this war.

There has never been a war as it is now, as if all contradictions have been destroyed in the flames of war.
