Goth Girl is of unknown origin, but she claims to be one of the oldest consciousness walkers. Takakawa believed her words, because the information she revealed was not available under normal circumstances. From the perspective of observing the world, Takakawa has a certain resonance with her. Even so, Gao Chuan still couldn't feel her power more accurately and intuitively. She is ambiguous, incomprehensible, seemingly humanoid but almost indescribable, such a mysterious existence - if you talk about mystery and combat effectiveness, Takakawa also believes that she is definitely one of the most difficult characters in the current apocalyptic fantasy.

There is no need for actual combat to understand, Takakawa can appreciate the fluctuating power from that hazy feeling.

As Takakawa guessed, the Goth Girl is indeed an existence closely related to the Doomsday Shinrikyo Religion, and from another point of view, since she has experienced many doomsday illusions, and has gone deep into this sad cycle and become aware of the apocalyptic nature of this world, then, when a doomsday illusion is formed, it is naturally very likely that her existence will naturally have some kind of very old background - just as the history of the doomsday illusion is an "illusion", her sense of existence will also penetrate into the background of this illusion.

For example, one of the triumvirate of the Doomsday Shinrikyo and one of the original founders.

The Goth Girl's eloquent account soon proved to be true. A long, long time ago, she used the time she had experienced as a yardstick, in a certain apocalyptic illusion, when the occult experts in that world sensed the signs of the apocalypse, she and some occult experts worked together to find the origin of the apocalypse. What was she thinking at that time? Is it to acknowledge the truth of the apocalypse, or to have more positive thoughts, as is the case with the current Cyberball? Takakawa didn't know, and she didn't explain.

She was just talking about what she saw.

"I walked in the collective human subconscious, and then I saw it." The goth girl frowned, her voice serious and solemn, "Something that is probably not human. Even I can't explain what it is, a spiritual phenomenon? Is it a product of consciousness? Could there be substances? Or is it an energy? A situation? In short, it exists in the collective human subconscious, but it is a foreign body. ”

"But since you can't recognize it, you can't get rid of it or destroy it." "You think that's the embodiment of external sources of information that affect human cognition," Takakawa said. ”

"Yes." The goth girl nodded, "It's a monster in the truest sense of the word, a monster within a monster." ”

Takakawa knows, and Netball also knows, that this monster that exists in the collective subconscious of human beings is not only of unknown origin, but also exists in the subconscious of human beings, and this existence is enough to affect the words, deeds, and ways of thinking of people in this world. In terms of the scope of the "collective human subconscious", its influence on human beings is implicit and widespread. Because it is an anomalous thing, human beings are bound to suffer from its existence.

This is a simple and natural conclusion for occult experts, and especially for consciousness walkers.

"If we look at all mankind as a whole, then this monster is equivalent to a virus, a malignant tumor, every time it expands, it will oppress people's spirits, and every time it grows, it will make the human spirit produce malignant mutations. These mental pains come from the subconscious, and no one can avoid them, so people live in pain forever. Human beings are also like cells, the extinction and regeneration of the world again and again, just like metabolism, but if the normal metabolism is a pure physiological activity, then the metabolism caused by the existence of this monster is equivalent to a vicious mental oppression that affects physiological activities, causing physiological activities to develop towards a vicious trend. Goth Girl said.

The driver seemed to have come to his senses, he didn't say anything, his face was full of ignorance, he could understand the content of this sentence, but he didn't understand what the goth girl in front of him was trying to say. Of course, it's okay to be more serious about what she says, but for him, it's just nonsense, but he can't believe the content at all.

However, compared to the driver's incomprehensible appearance, Gao Chuan is clear. What the Goth Girl said, as far as the current situation is concerned, not only includes the situation that the Netball has recognized, but also conforms to the "Human Completion Plan" proposed by Dr. Ender in the hospital reality, but it is also the spirit that affects the physiology to achieve an abnormal standard, and the changes caused by the "monster in the human subconscious" are malignant, not the benign reaction that Dr. Ender wants.

Conversely, if the "monster in the collective human subconscious" observed in the apocalyptic illusion cannot be controlled, and the effects of itself and its existence cannot be eliminated, the "Human Completion Project" will not be able to develop in the direction that Dr. Ender intended. On the other hand, since Dr. Ender is obsessed with the "Human Completion Project", then the result of this plan can be regarded as further aggravating the vicious effect of this monster on patients with doomsday syndrome.

The Goth Maiden says that this monster that exists in the collective subconscious of mankind is a "virus", a "tumor", and the source of the end of the world. This statement is very intimate to Takakawa, because the "virus" is the source of suffering for patients with doomsday syndrome.

Although the two "viruses" are not exactly the same in the sense of expression, if the monsters that can be observed in this apocalyptic fantasy are regarded as the manifestation of the "virus" cognition generated in the reality of the hospital, then the relationship between the two will be closer and more direct than imagined.

In these cases, after the wheelchair man of the network ball proved that "the monster in the collective subconscious of human beings", Gao Chuan had already begun to think about it - if this monster was killed directly in the collective subconscious of human beings, would there be a good change in the entire apocalyptic illusion, and could this good change be fed back to the observation of the reality of the hospital?

After observing this monster, both the Netball and the Goth Girl believe that it is the root of the end of the world and the end of mankind, and no matter how bad it is, it is one of the core roots. However, in terms of the way of dealing with it, the two sides have chosen different paths.

Cyberball is very active in seeking ways to kill this monster. The Gothic Maiden created the Doomsday Truth Cult as a result, becoming the triumvirate that exists in "history" every time a new apocalyptic fantasy is generated.

However, Takakawa still can't tell how many times she has experienced the Doomsday Fantasy that existed in history as the Big Three, and he can't trace what she looked like before her existence was so engraved in the Doomsday Vision. Takakawa knows very well that he has experienced the death and rebirth of his personality many times, and even if he has experienced all the apocalyptic illusions so far, it is difficult to preserve that huge amount of information. In his limited memories, impressions, and cognitions, he recognized for the first time that the existence of one of the founders of the Doomsday Illusion and one of the Big Three turned out to be what he was looking like in front of him.

This goth girl has an incredible background in the fake "awesome", but for Takakawa, he and she have only just met for the first time. Even if you believe what she says, it is difficult to express respect for this false and thick "history" from a sensory point of view.

"Don't you want to kill that monster?" Although Takakawa was surprised, his mood was still calm. The other party's words will make the driver dumbfounded, incredulous, and incomprehensible, but for Takakawa, she still hasn't revealed what she wants to know most.

Who the hell is she? The answer that Takakawa wants is not "the founder of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Religion", not "the oldest consciousness walker", but other information that can allow Takakawa to speculate and judge more intuitively.

Gao Chuan knew very well that since the other party had existed for so long and understood the apocalyptic illusion so well, but he was hiding in this isolated wilderness, he must not want to spend his old age in peace.

"No, I can't kill it." The goth girl shook her head and said, "It's not that I want to find someone to deal with it, it seems to me that it is insolvable, at least in this world." ”

"But since you led us here and talked to us about these things, you definitely didn't just want to tell a story." Takakawa said with certainty.

"Yes, please don't worry, there is still time, I will explain it to you one by one." The goth girl said this, paused, and said, "When I realized that the end would be inevitable because of that monster, someone came to the door. He is the ancestor of the Mar Jones family and the leader of an organization called Hydra. They knew from me about the existence of that monster, and until then, they had already established by other means that the end of the world was inevitable. In response to the apocalypse, we founded the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion. ”

"Then, every doomsday reincarnation, when a new world is born, you will automatically become one of the triumvirate of the Doomsday Shinrikyo cult." Takagawa added: "So, before you, did the Doomsday Shinrikyo exist? ”

"Maybe." "Maybe the Doomsday Shinrito Cult exists in this world, and it wasn't created by me and some other people, we just found it and joined it," said the girl.

"However, you are still separated, will it be like this with every reincarnation?" Takakawa continued to ask.

"No, we are separated not because of the question of whether the truth of the end is there, but because of the attitude of how we deal with it." The goth girl replied.

As a result, new names, their meanings, and changes in my perception of the Cult of the Doomsday Shinrikyo slowly unfolded in my mind.

Because of the different attitudes towards the end of the world, the divided Doomsday Shinrikyo has emerged. Although it is generally called Doomsday Shinrikyo, it actually has its own branch names in the early days, namely: Gothic Girl's "New Week Gospel", Mar Jones' "Doomsday Truth", and Hydra's "Dead Sea Apostle". Behind this public appellation are branches of thought and action based on three different attitudes, with the three giants as the core.

The New Age Gospel codified the original canon, advocating a gentle attitude towards the end of the world, as the fulfillment of one's own innate destiny, which is immutable and the ultimate equality that everyone must face. It believes that the end of the world is a law that does not depend on human will, just like the climate change of the four seasons, which contributes to the birth, growth and end of people living in this world, as well as the birth, growth and end of a new round. It is very inappropriate to regard this law as a pessimistic theory of fate, because the end has actually become an indispensable part of human beings, and preventing it is like losing sunlight and water, and it will only make people lose their chance to exist in this world. So, the end is the truth.

And the content of the original text briefly described by the Goth Girl, even from the perspective of the reality of the hospital, is quite plausible - the core basis of the doomsday illusion is those patients with doomsday syndrome who have become LCL, and conversely, without their existence, wouldn't the doomsday illusion cease to exist? If people in the apocalyptic realm think that they live in a real and objective world, then they must first make sure that this real and objective world exists, and that their own existence must also be real and objective, and not some happy or miserable.

Gao Chuan has been thinking about such a question: if it is true and objective, but it is also tragic and inescapable, then is it necessary for people to continue to reincarnate like this? The origin of this idea is precisely because, assuming that we can solve the "virus", then the patients with doomsday syndrome who are still alive and in human form may be saved, but what will become the patients who have become such a stable liquid state as LCL? Is the reason why these LCLs are "alive" and can support so many "personalities" because of the existence of "viruses"?

The "virus" has been solved, so that the apocalyptic illusion observed from the perspective of the reality of the hospital has lost its basis for existence, and it will eventually mean the disintegration of the LCL and the eventual demise of the personality, and such a possibility does exist.

From this point of view, Takakawa can understand the original doctrine of doomsday truth told by the Goth Girl, which is the foundation of the existence of the world and human existence, and furthermore, it can also be deduced that the Goth Girl's attitude towards the monster in the collective human subconscious must be that the monster has become an indispensable part of the collective human subconscious.

Indeed, that monster is anomalous and oppressive, but once it is removed, will it directly lead to the collapse of the collective human subconscious? Goth girls think this way, so they don't take the positive attitude of Cyberball.

"It's like the beams of a house, if you remove the beams, the house will collapse, and the decaying beams will look like the house is crumbling, but it hasn't collapsed yet. If you want to replace the beams, you must first prepare a replacement to support the house and ensure adequate safety measures. The goth girl said this, and poured herself another cup of steaming black tea, her description was very down-to-earth, and this time, even the ignorant driver seemed to understand.
