They weren't crawling, they weren't wriggling, they fused with the anomalies that had eaten away at the subterranean hall, as if they had split out of a huge whole, and I didn't know what to call them, or what they looked like, or even how many they were. At first glance, there are still a few silhouettes of human figures, as if you can feel that they are about the same number as the previous ritual performers, but once you have such a concept, when you look at them again, you will find that they are not at all what you thought they were.

The existence of such vague contradictions in the past is not completely unseen, but in terms of the degree of ambiguity and contradiction, what is seen today is more strange than what has been seen in the past. The face of the physical life is like a mask, and there is no expression to be seen, compared to the wizards of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Sect, there is a very obvious emotional outpouring of emotions. I stood behind them, closest to the entrance to the underground hall, and I couldn't make out the expressions of these guys who didn't know if they were human or not, but I had a keen sense of emotions and sensuality, and I was pretty sure that in this completely strange space, all intelligent beings with emotions were producing the emotions of surprise and fear extremely strongly.

No, perhaps even those things that I once thought were emotionless, non-sapient are terrified of everything in front of me, and the indescribable existence implied behind all this anomaly. Even if it is just a small stone, even if it is time and space, even if it is the hardest structural material, it is trembling.

Although fear has become the most intense element in the underground halls at this moment, not all animate beings have been robbed of their ability to move by this fear. Even so, it cannot be said that both the Primal Life and the Wizards of the Doomsday Shinrito can ignore this fear. Even if there is an intuition that tells me, and perhaps tells them, that these strange and vague things that they see in front of them are only transformed by those who once seemed to be human, and that the most dangerous things are still far away, and as long as the deviation ritual is not completed, it is absolutely impossible to come to this world. But at least a third of the physical beings were eaten away by the anomaly in front of them, and their bodies stiffened like sculptures. And those wizards who have always represented the driving force of the apocalypse, and half of the elite wizards have fallen into a state of stupidity, although they did not scream, but they did not restrain themselves, their posture and movements only made me feel that even the consciousness of screaming was taken away.

Just seeing such a thing will make me crazy, I will lose my mind, I will fall into the labyrinth of thinking and even be burned out from the heart, and the structure of my own existence will be eroded and changed - I once had the imagination of this concept when facing those invisible fears, but when I actually faced it, I found that it was actually a scene beyond my imagination, and it was impossible to describe the spiritual impact with those pale words.

I am absolutely sure that the reason why I am still able to judge and think so calmly proves the existence of my special and "Jiang". It is normal for those who are completely devastated from the material plane to the realization of the non-human. And what I think is normal now is thinking, imagining, and describing, but it's probably just one side of madness.

What exists in front of you is not something that should appear in this world at all, it is suddenly out of place, just as the Torchlight hopes, its existence will cause deviations to everything, but I am afraid that the Torchlight itself will not be able to understand what kind of horror it will bring, and in what way it will be presented.

Even from the perspective of the reality of the hospital, such a thing should not have appeared in this apocalyptic fantasy world, which is supposed to be a "world of personality consciousness for patients with doomsday syndrome". The existence of the "virus" has always been reflected, and there is a certain logic in the development of the apocalypse, and the monsters in the collective subconscious of human beings and the mysteries that spread throughout the apocalyptic fantasy can also make people at least imagine the basis of their existence. However, only these things brought about by the ritual of deviation did not exist before this. Whether it is rational or emotional, logical or imaginary, their existence is sudden and incompatible, as if a foot has been inserted from outside the sky, beyond everyone's expectations.

If the world I perceive, whether it's the reality of the hospital or the apocalyptic illusion, is variables in the infinite unknown, then the variables brought about by the deviant ritual have tended to the maximum I can perceive, and then rise all the way to beyond my cognition. It is not only the biggest variable, but also the most malicious. I don't feel any meaningful change in this variable that is beneficial to one side or the other. I have the idea that the result of the deviation ritual is not the result of the evolution of the "virus" at all, but will also have a violent impact on the "virus", and for the patients with doomsday syndrome, it is simply the embodiment of another "virus".

When I think about it, I can feel that the entire apocalyptic fantasy is trembling with the indescribable behemoth behind the strangeness in front of me, and the whole world is desperate to eliminate the anomaly in front of me, and completely intervene and eliminate the deviant ritual - of course, maybe this is just my delusion, I am also observing these indescribable strangeness, and my mind must have been confused.

The wizards who had been battling the Ritual of Deviance had already twisted their bodies. The combined onslaught of physical beings eliminated the mystical experts and visible ritual performers, including my old friend, but it failed to completely resolve the deviant ritual, and it could even be said that it did not touch the root of the deviant ritual at all, but rather added fuel to the ritual, facilitating the progress of the entire ritual. However, the ritual of deviation is still not complete, and this judgment does not need to be proven, only the feeling is enough.

I've always felt that it was an incredible thing that my "old friends" and so many mysterious experts could survive the impact of the impact of the two repeaters crashing, and I also felt that there must be a lot of shady scenes behind it, and the torchlight alone had no ability to save them, and they themselves couldn't see any reason to protect themselves, although I also guessed whether it would be a tacit understanding of the network ball in private, but, after fighting with the file and others, I reaffirmed that they exist here, Guarding or driving the Ritual of Deviance is definitely not just a known occult organization behind it, nor is it the result of their own choice entirely of their own volition, for no one party can do it alone.

The reason why the people of the Torchlight, these mystical experts, and old friends, have appeared in this corner of the world, and promoted the ritual of deviation, avoiding the eyes and ears of others, is because behind their existence and actions there is a mystery that rivals the sum of the known forces of this world.

The mystery was so powerful, deep, and obscure that deviations had formed in unknown corners before the ritual of deviation was completed, and no one recognized the existence of deviations until they were strong enough. And I am sure that there is a deviation at this point, not because the deviation has just begun, but because the deviation has reached a point where even something as weak as mine can feel it.

As for what kind of reference this "deviation" is compared with, what kind of content it is, and what form its beginning and process are, I cannot understand it at this time. My feeling is only telling me that "deviation" has already occurred, and I am not even sure what the difference between these so-called "deviations" and the concept of "deviation" in people's common sense.

The word "deviation", after describing the immediate anomaly and expanding to the world, has formed a new vague and very one-sided concept.

For people, it's just called "deviation". As a passage in the Eastern occult:

- There is a mixture of things, born from nature. Lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. The big is gone, the death is far away, the distance is reversed, so the road is big.

Only this description of the Tao is similar to the "deviation" I feel, but it is not the same.

I don't know what to do with such a thing, and I'm not sure if I had the power to destroy all the ritual performers and occult experts at the time, and if I did, it would have been a different result than it is now, but I don't feel like I could really stop the deviant ritual by killing everyone, just as I have never been able to completely stop the Doomsday Shinrikyo sacrifice ritual after killing all the enemies. Although there are many differences between the Torchlight Deviation Ritual and the Doomsday Shinrikyo Sacrifice Ceremony, neither of them can be stopped by superficially destroying the consciousness and material consciousness of the ritual-related characters in terms of the perception of the ritual alone—their connection to the ritual is deeper than what humans can observe and know, and it is far beyond the material and logical.

The limitations of being human beings, in that deep connection, have an irreparable distance, and we must transcend the so-called "thinking" and transcend the known forms of existence in order to truly interfere with that connection. As things stand, it is not the physical life, the Doomsday Shinrito wizards, and me who can overcome the anomaly in front of us, but the equally unspeakable thing that is driving the apocalyptic process behind us.

Jiang may have the ability to change the current situation, but I'm not sure if it has the ability to completely eradicate these foreign objects, or even to recover the unspeakable behind them, and whether it will do so out of need and will. Although I have no doubt about my love for "Jiang", and I do not deny that in the eyes of others, this love of mine is so crazy and distorted, but this kind of "love" is not enough for me to understand "Jiang" and not enough for me to figure out its behavior.

In this way, the activity of the "virus" looming behind the Doomsday Shinrikyo is crucial. Although the current situation is much more serious than I expected, it does not exceed the essence of my plan. My original idea of replacing the deviant ritual of the Torchlight with the sacrificial rites of the Doomsday Shinrikyo is still feasible at this point. I can't even think of a more feasible way on top of that.

In my opinion, the confrontation between the sacrificial ritual and the deviation ritual is equivalent to the confrontation between the "virus" and the indescribable object. And the outcome is not only determined by which one is more "great", but also by the fact that the Doomsday Fantasy is the basic disk of the "virus", and the "virus" is here to face the other party, which is equivalent to fighting in its own lair, and it should have a geographical advantage - please forgive me for being ignorant and having limited vision, I can only look at this battle from the perspective of this human cognition, and in fact, there is no evidence at all whether this is the "battle" I imagined, and it is very likely that it is at a level that I cannot observe, All the changes that have unfolded around the anomaly at this moment have been completed, and all we are facing is an aftermath.

Some people may be confused by such a view, but what is impossible in this place where even the sense of time and space has become chaotic, full of unimaginable, indescribable, and indescribable changes? Even in the occult of the human imagination, there are descriptions of causal confusion.

On the surface, the initiation and support of the sacrificial ritual relied entirely on the official wizards of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Cult, and the wizards from the elite level to the Winged Knight level did not have much movement. At this moment, all of these official wizards who supported the sacrificial ritual had changed, and it made people feel that they could no longer support it, as if they would be eroded by the anomaly caused by the deviation ritual in the next moment, and turn to the other side.

These wizards are no longer human, their vague stickiness seems to be twisted into a thick tentacle change, but they are stuck on a certain edge - you can't see this boundary just by looking at it with the naked eye, but by feeling their changes and pain, you can produce a contagious empathy, as if you are experiencing their pain, so that you can feel that boundary from this very human pain, and recognize that they are still hovering on the edge, It was as if they were torn apart by two forces that did not belong to them.

This pain is not physical, nor spiritual, but in a deeper nature than the unity of the two, which is beyond the realm of human language. And this is the deep pain that I believe is the reason why no one has been able to act visible so far - whether it is me, the physical life, or the surviving wizards, all bound by this tug-of-war pain. When we feel this pain, we are inevitably drawn into it, entangled with pain, that is, entangled with ourselves, and even if we know this, we cannot immediately return through our own will, because in the face of the nature of this pain, the so-called "self-will" is so frivolous and unreal.
