1171 Nightmare Swelling 2
PS: The old year is about to pass, the new year is about to begin, I wish you all achievements in the new year, thank you for your support this year, and look forward to a new work in the new year.
Given that the mystical spread will be more manifested in the spread of electronic demons, it is impossible for the Whisperers to complete the integration of a city's occult organization with only a few people, but even so, I do not plan to expand the Whisperers. In this world of repeaters, we intruders are naturally resisted, and even the Cult of Doomsday Shinrikyo has not developed with much fanfare. The Nazis took control of this repeater, and they took control of the world as a matter of course, and the reason why we are still alive and moving like rats in the sewers is because of the same repeater support, and the Nazis seem to have some conspiracy to use us to act. But that doesn't mean we can go against the whole world with impunity. We came to this world, whether it is geographical or human, we want to rely on our own mysteries to fight an endless stream of electronic demons, even if we can survive, our energy will be involved in endless battles.
Whether it is me or NOG, or the Doomsday Shinrikyo and some other mystical experts who have entered secretly, the goal should be the relayer core, and the process of the end of this world is not the result, but only the means to make the relayer core appear in a mystical way. To be swept away by the chaos before the end of the world is to put the cart before the horse, and the gains outweigh the losses. I believe that even if the world enters the apocalyptic process, if someone takes advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble and try to form a large force against others, it will not succeed, because before taking away or destroying the core of the repeater. The Nazis were the real masters of the place.
The world seems to have a complete and independent social system and human interactions like the outside world, but since the world where people live is built by Nazi repeaters. This meant that the Nazis always had the initiative.
As far as the whisperer's actions towards the city are concerned, once the movement is too large, it will become the focus of attention, and then be targeted. Anyone who acquires an animatronic demon will not really compromise with the whisperers, because of the corrosive nature that animatronic demons can have, and because the Nazis cannot do nothing. The meaning of the battle lies not in the battle itself, but in the outcome that the battle wants to achieve. At least I didn't enjoy the fight. I came here to form the Whisperers, not to administer justice, but to fight constantly, and it is impossible for a city to truly be at peace.
As Hachijing said, what the Whisperers have to do is not to let everyone know that the Whisperers are dominant, but to make other mysterious organizations that are about to emerge in the city understand. In this city, balance and order are the best choices. And the whisperers will be a central element of this order.
In a balance maintained by multiple forces, compromise and containment are the main themes, and identifying one's enemies and finding one's allies is the way to interpret this theme. Therefore, it is necessary for the whisperers to show kindness to the rudiments of some mysterious organizations. Find and support natural allies. For example, the student union, and the social people behind the student union. For the time being, it is uncertain how many mysterious organizations this city will be divided by, and how many mysterious organizations from other places will invade. However, he was one of the first people in the city to come into contact with the mystery. Whether it is the student council or those outside the school who have a lot to do with the student union, unless the brain is eroded by the hidden malice behind the electronic demon, they will definitely run this city as their own base camp, and then exclude other foreign forces.
These situations are obvious, and there is no need for the whisperer to create a completely different situation.
Zuo Jiang mentioned that a powerful consciousness walker can directly control the human beings of a city at the level of consciousness, however, this statement is only theoretically correct, but it is impossible to do it in practice. Because the repeater itself is the product of the alienation of the collective subconscious of human beings, the opponent that the consciousness walker needs to face in such a large-scale use of consciousness mystery in the world of the repeater is not everyone's consciousness, but must be the repeater itself. It is absolutely impossible for a human consciousness walker to overcome the collective human subconscious by relying only on individual consciousness, and it is impossible for individual consciousness to reach the height of a repeater, in other words, if someone reaches this level, then this person must no longer be a human being in the true sense of the word. The definition of the concept of "human", like all scientific terms, is extremely strict. There are many people who often confuse these established conceptual limitations and endlessly expand the scope of a particular concept, but in reality, doing so loses the meaning of defining the concept. For example, some people will expand the "demon" to "external evil and internal neutrality" or even "external evil and internal good", or modify it with various "last resorts", and then cause the "demon" to become **, and even make the "demon" and the opposite "angel" no longer fully opposed. But what's the point of doing so other than confusing concepts? If demons can also be angels, then what's the point of angels? And the angel representing pure goodness and beauty has been added with malicious modification, so what is the meaning of the concept of angel?
"Birdman with wings" and "angel" are not the same thing - only by establishing this premise can the two words really become two concepts.
In the same way, the conceptual division of humans and monsters also has strict restrictions in order for them to have independent meanings. Monsters can do things that humans can't do anyway, monsters are more powerful than humans think, and if you look at consciousness walkers with this premise, you will find that although consciousness walkers are powerful, they are still not monsters, and they can't do monster things. And in this world, there are only two monsters in the true sense, and only these two can achieve Zuo Jiang's idea of controlling everyone from the level of consciousness.
There are monsters among the whisperers, but I don't have any expectations at all whether this monster will act according to Zuo Jiang's ideas. It is conceptually contradictory that people want monsters to act according to their ideas and demand themselves according to human standards. In all literature, monsters obey the hopes of humanity, or in other words, if they don't, they will be ruined. No matter how much it is embellished with humanistic thinking, it cannot hide the fear embodied in this ending - the fear of human beings for monsters, because the strict definition of "monster" is hidden in human instinct. Let people know that it is a storage zài that they absolutely do not want to face.
So, for the Whisperer to calm the whole city, he must not count on monsters, nor on consciousness walkers. Zuo Jiang's statement is theoretically correct, but it is not feasible at all. Because, in the end, there will be a contradiction between the two concepts of "man" and "monster". There could be no one. Both "human" and "monster".
Sometimes I feel like I'm human, sometimes I feel like I'm a monster, but I know that it's just proving that I'm just a psychopath.
After deciding on the whisperer's course of action for some time to come, I turned my attention back to the nightmare and the ghost. After being actually hurt by me once, the ghost disappeared completely, both in the nightmare. Or in this city, there is no sign of its activity. However, I'm pretty sure it didn't get killed. However, as campus life returned to peace, the depression that had been hanging over the city gradually loosened, and the abnormal smell of daily life gradually decreased. Maybe. Restoring the normal illusion of fù, the ghost has lost the space to move.
Personally, this is the best change and the best outcome I would have hoped for after dealing with the toilet weirdness. Of course. When I first returned to this world and was plagued by nightmares and ghosts, I never imagined that the chaos and anomalies I felt during that time would quickly recede in the time that followed.
Is it because the focus of the activities of the Doomsday Shinrikyo cult, the NOG, and other occultists is excluded from Asia? I've thought that more than once. Extrapolating from the current situation, the mysterious circles of this world have begun to show a similar situation to the outside world - mysterious events in Europe and the United States have begun to become frequent, and the activities of occult experts will also be concentrated there, and although there will be no shortage of mysterious events in Asia, it should be far weaker than in Europe and the United States in terms of process and density.
For the mysterious organization based on Asia, Asia is both a safe soil and a barren barren land, and all those who want to develop in the mysterious circle will definitely look to Europe and the United States. Unlike the outside world, in this world, the Nazis will definitely take the place of the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion. I can even predict that, as the wizards of the Mar-Jones family meant to the Cult of Doomsday Shinrikyo, the animatronic demons would also form the bulk of the Nazis' power. In a certain way, with reference to the known internal structure of Shinrikyo doomsday, it is also possible to deduce the organizational structure of the Nazis in this world, and then guess the organizational structure of the Nazis in the outside world.
After all, the Nazis were once a member of the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion, and they have already embodied the same origin in many details. The Cult of Doomsday Shinrikyo uses the wizarding system and the psychedelic drug "Paradise" to construct a stable upper and lower structure. And in this repeater world, the spread of electronic demons and the Nazi soldiers who are constantly fighting in the outside world can't help but make people feel immediate.
Although the electronic demon summoning program was originally given to us intruders, under the guidance of various factors, there are not many mysterious experts who can refuse to reveal their mysteries and characteristics through the electronic demons, so that it seems that we invaders are the source of the electronic demons. But no one is sure if this is the case, and there are even many occult experts who have abandoned the original idea that "the electronic demon is for the convenience of intruders" and regard it as a mysterious mechanism of the repeater world itself, something born against intruders. These changes, after the end of the toilet monster incident and the large-scale entry of intruders into the world, have become more and more recognized. This information was learned by Zuo Jiang after contacting John Bull, and in just two weeks, the central European and Las Vegas areas have become the most mysterious and active places. John Bull and Rivet in Europe and the United States naturally have the most direct understanding of the mysterious spread of this world.
Although the NOG's intentions and the specific situation of Las Vegas were not mentioned in detail in the information that came from John Bull, the information about the Nazis and Shinrikyo was quite detailed, and they sent people to the European town that I had specifically identified in the information, only to find that the area had not been developed, only a few rangers' cabins standing on the shores of the lake, and the scenery was indeed pleasant, attracting scattered travel enthusiasts, and there were local newspapers in the neighboring towns to promote it. However, the occult experts did not find any clues of the Doomsday Shinrikyo over there. However, there are signs of Doomsday Shinrikyo activity in Europe, and although it has not been caught by the tail of the TAG, it is inferred from the signs that have been discovered one after another. The Doomsday Shinrikyo religion has carved out a secret base in Europe, but for some reason, it has not yet carried out large-scale activities. Some people sell Claudia, the ingredient of the psychedelic drug "Paradise", on the Internet, but after investigation, it was found that most of them were spontaneous activities of lovers of new flowers, and no large-scale purchases were found.
The Cult of Doomsday Shinrikyo is an excellent cover for its activities, and they arrived in the repeater world before other occult experts, even raising suspicions that they are involved in the Nazis in this repeater. It dates back to the time when they built their own repeaters. It is possible that the construction of this repeater did not use the Nazis' own technology, but the Nazis developed their own technology based on the construction technology of this repeater, and then adjusted the repeater, so there are many traces of the Doomsday Shinrikyo in the structure and performance of the entire repeater. Even the back door. This also leaves the groundwork for the Doomsday Shinrikyo to interfere with this repeater even further than others.
The Nazis should have understood better the influence of the Doomsday Shinrikyo on this repeater and the interference with the Doomsday Shinrikyo. It is also reasonable to be prepared. At this time, it is very likely that the actions of the Doomsday Shinrikyo were expected by the Nazis, and a large part of the Nazi actions will be adjusted according to the actions of the Doomsday Shinrikyo. NOG does not believe that the Nazis and the Church of Doomsday Truth are in cahoots with the Church of Doomsday in their attitude towards this repeater. On the contrary, hostilities between the two sides are more likely, as evidenced by the fact that all of the NOG's operations can be carried out so far. Therefore, before the Doomsday Shinrikyo launched a large-scale operation. Assuming that the Electro-Demon is a part of the repeater's defense system, and a trap for all intruders after the mysterious suppression, then the Nazis' actions will be hidden under the spread of the Electro-Demon, and the doomsday process of this repeater is also likely to be part of the Nazi plan.
In this way, it is impossible to inflict a heavy blow on the Nazis by merely guiding this repeater world to the end guided by the "mystery", but it is necessary to be wary of the possibility of the Nazis fishing in troubled waters under the chaotic shape to complete their own plans.
My inference about the electronic demon, in the information that John Bull has been transmitting one after another, is vaguely the inference of mysterious experts affiliated with NOG. Although it is not mentioned in the intelligence, I believe that NOG will leave at least half of its personnel without using the electronic demon summoning program, waiting for further development, trying to interfere with the mystery of this world in order to restore the mystery that fù originally possessed. Members who use the Electro Demon Summoning program will cautiously conduct a lengthy evaluation of the Electro Demon to determine the impact of the Electro Demon on themselves.
The strategy for this repeater is unprecedented, and the action of nine deaths and life is actually very risky in terms of the attitude towards the electronic demon, no matter how you choose. The use of electronic demons, although they can restore their mysteries, is equivalent to exposing their own mysteries and characteristics, and without using electronic demons, even experienced mystical experts can only bear the risks caused by the spread of mysteries in the state of ordinary people. Any occult expert is originally an ordinary person, and only after experiencing the dangers of mysterious events has grown to the present Cheng Dù, and no one knows better than them the dangers that ordinary people have to face in the period of mysterious diffusion. It's like knowing that troubled times are coming, but you can't get your weapons back, so you can only passively wait for a chance to survive.
I believe that must be a very bad feeling. If half of them chose not to use electronic demons, it was enough to marvel at the tenacity of these occult experts. However, in the current situation, regardless of whether the will is tenacious or not, the danger to face is the same, and the only thing that can really be relied on is luck.
I think those mystery experts must be very keen on coin guessing at this time.
John Bull, like Zuo Jiang, both used the electronic demon summoning program, so how many of the other captains and rivet commanders did this? I can't help but wonder at my leisure. Of course, this part of the information will not be revealed to the whisperers. Moreover, John Bull's connection with this side, rivets they also know well, although John Bull and I have a friendship with teammates, but after all, one of the leaders of the team, in this kind of fundamental issues, it is impossible to hide from rivets and others, and the information passed on must be carefully selected by them.
NOG has a large number of people and operates in the regions they are most familiar with, so it is undoubtedly developing much faster than Whisperers. However, in two weeks, taking advantage of the departure of the student president and vice president, the whisperer also completed the installation of the surveillance system on the campus and even the entire city. Although it is impossible to cover everything due to the scarcity of manpower, the monitoring of the most prosperous areas and their living areas is quite complete. Every day, the system expands, but when it comes to underdeveloped urban areas and suburbs, and the dependence on the activity of government departments, the system is already struggling.
Zuo Jiang's contribution to this monitoring system is the largest, but because her five electronic demons are all limited to intelligence acquisition activities, her ability to actually fight outside the world is greatly limited. If something goes wrong, she's no longer the go-to handler. Fortunately, during this time, the city is calm enough, and after a while, the monitoring system can be semi-detached from the main control and achieve a certain amount of self-operation, and Zuo Jiang's combat power can be freed from the shackles and further enhance the whisperer's ability to act.
This night, I was once again in Nightmare Las Vegas. This world, which was originally dead silent, without any good or malice, positive and negative, because it has nothing, but makes people feel uncomfortable, has begun to highlight some qualities. And these qualities are definitely not a good situation, for example, the shadow that seems to be brewing is no longer the original posture of hiding itself, but appears in the corners of streets, alleys and buildings with great fanfare, and even on the surface of the street, wriggling shadows can often be seen. The anomalous aura they bring is permeated with an eerie and decaying smell, and where they appear, even the dust seems to have turned into another small thing with an active life.
Ash and sparks began to fall in the sky, and as the number of shadows grew to the point where individual abilities could not be extinct, the fall of ashes and sparks became more frequent, and the places covered by them would have a burning smell, and the appearance of objects was also decaying at an accelerated pace, and when breathing, the nose and mouth would have a very strong interference and burning sensation, and this strong feeling also made this nightmare no longer like a dream.
As usual, I destroyed the shadows in my path, and although it was nothing to do to make up for the change of the whole nightmare, there was not even a figure in this nightmare, let alone something that had to be done. However, when I arrived in front of a watch shop, things were different from usual.
The main entrance, which was originally as if it was impossible to enter the watch shop, opened to me with a decaying creak.
It was like inviting me in.
The light inside and the light outside are inconsistent, as if there is a clear dividing line between the threshold. The outside is cloudy and gloomy, and inside is the darkness of the blind lights of the night, and this obscurity has a very strong sense of abnormality, so that when people look inside, they instinctively feel that something ominous is happening inside, but there is a voice that constantly arouses the curiosity of the observer - go in, go in, this will be the biggest turning point in his life.
I didn't hesitate to step in, because, beyond this one, there are no more anomalies to choose from, do you?
The scene in the watch shop became slightly clearer upon entering, but looking back at the door behind him, the original cloudy sky had turned into a foggy night, and the decaying and twisted street lamps had been lit.
The door slammed shut, and the outside world becomes a painting-like backdrop. (To be continued......)
