1914 Whispering of the Evil God
Father Sissen's magic pattern was constantly heating up, like a red-hot soldering iron pressed against his wrist, but it didn't cause any noticeable damage to his body. www.biquge.info His bracelet-shaped critical weapon was unleashing its inherent effects with the authority of the fourth-level magic pattern, causing the superpower called "barometric pressure control" to exhibit effects that were not what he expected, and these effects were beyond the original meaning of the term "barometric pressure control" in terms of the phenomenon that was visible to the naked eye. Supercharged by the Critical Weapon, the Demonic Pattern Super is wreaking havoc on a massive scale, and although this chaos is not at all what Father Sissen expected, it is destructive, stirring up the current environment, making the situation not go in the direction of Father Sissen's ideas, nor in the direction of other people or inhumans on the battlefield.
In general, it can be described as "harming others and not benefiting oneself", or "harming oneself by one thousand and injuring eight hundred enemies". In such a chaotic, frantic and helpless battle, this critical weapon is probably a better choice. In Father Sissen's feelings, at least no one can benefit from this battle of negative probability, and the rest is who can hold out in such a situation that is not good for him.
Speaking of persistence, Fr. Sissen himself, who had been taught by Father Edward's asceticism, did not feel that he was going to be any worse. Even his opponent has almost turned into an indescribable gray mist demon in disguise, and a monster who doesn't know what it is.
Factors that can be seen, experienced, and felt, such as wind, light, flames, spatial faults, transient distortions of time, various phenomena that only appear at the micro level, and some grand changes observed from a macro perspective, are being produced in this security network node area. Sometimes one phenomenon occupies most of the area, but no one can be sure whether this phenomenon will be replaced by another one moment, and it is difficult to predict what the next phenomenon will be. Sometimes multiple phenomena are mixed together, and once they are caught, they will be harmed by immeasurable compound factors, and what is even more terrifying is that the factors that produce these phenomena will not only interfere with each other, but also produce a chain reaction, expanding the physical destructive power.
It was a terrible battlefield, and ordinary people simply could not survive. Because ordinary people do not have a sharp enough instinctive intuition, nor a nervous system that can react enough, and they lack the means to temporarily get themselves out of danger. There is only one targeted theory, means and ability, if you want to survive on such a battlefield, the super power possessed by the third-level magic pattern is very monotonous, from the complexity of the environment at this time, the third-level magic pattern messenger lacks survivability compared to the wizards of the Doomsday Shinrikyo, from this point of view, maybe the fourth-level magic pattern is not good, because the fourth-level magic pattern does not provide more super power than the third-level magic pattern.
There is no time for research here, and it is also a great test of thinking ability, and the diversification of means can save people's lives more than the extremes of means. The reason why Father Sissen was still able to move between phenomena was only because his bracelet-like critical weapon changed the release process and phenomenon mechanism of the demonic superpower, and finally formed a chaotic and complex interference force as well. On the other hand, if there were no bracelet-shaped critical weapons, Father Sissen would probably have died in three rounds of blows between the two monsters because of the pond fish.
The atmosphere was roaring, the shock wave never stopped, and Father Sissen was completely unable to judge where it was safe, because, in the analysis of the prosthesis, there was no place with a probability of survival exceeding 30%. With such a low chance of survival in every location, even Father Sissen himself felt that he was lucky to have survived. Further, just because such a lucky thing is happening to you, doesn't it prove that your choice is correct? At least that's what Father Sissen thought.
Father Sissen was prostrate on the ground, the weight of which was like a tortoiseshell, triggering a huge explosion as a wave of high-temperature impact swept across the ridge. Like flies and mosquitoes, Father Sissen was thrown out in the collapse of the building, and the damage to his prosthesis reached forty percent in an instant, but if he could find time to catch his breath, this level of damage would be restored enough to maintain his previous mobility.
repair, damage, rerepair, redamage...... This is the situation of Father Sissen, who is so inconspicuous. No, it should be said, he felt that he was caught between two monsters, and it was indeed inconspicuous. None of the attacks of the two monsters were aimed at themselves, and they were even more lucky to guess, maybe the two had completely ignored themselves in such a fierce battle. In Father Sissen's view, this is an important factor in his luck, and until the two sides decide the winner, as long as he does not release a greater sense of existence, then he may be able to be ignored forever.
The ground is cracking, in the alternation of fire and frost, the huge tentacles formed by organic flesh and inorganic materials are like wrapping one building after another with huge jelly, but there is no end point to hold these tentacles together, there is no core-like subject that can be seen. These tentacles are like forest plants, some intertwined, others disintegrated, but agreeing on a twisted nature. Cities are often described as "concrete forests", but what Fr. Sissen sees is a flesh-and-blood and mechanized forest.
The forest is constantly expanding in size, and Father Sissen has seen many times spores-like things flying through the air, small for the size of the tentacles, but at least the size of apples for the human body. These spores will further divide into smaller parts, and in the observation of the prosthesis, these tiny parts will continue to split into smaller parts, and so on, until they become an unobservable volume, or in other words, some kind of information-carrying energy. Father Sissen was very sure that the phenomena that he could observe at all times that would kill people were definitely not all the phenomena on this battlefield, and that in the world that he could not see, more strange encounters were forming some kind of deeper agitation.
Even so, whether or not phenomena full of destructive and agitating forces can be observed, the destructive power is real. Father Sissen was no longer able to enumerate, categorize, or sort them, and the logical way did not allow him to capture every situation that would have endangered his life, not being hit, not being hit, and so on, and so on, in Father Sissen's own feelings, it was nothing more than luck.
However, from another point of view, since I have always been so lucky, the essence of it should not be explained only by "luck", and some deeper reason is that I can always turn evil into good fortune. From the point of view of fate, Father Sissen felt that it was because he was destined not to leave the battle. A terrifying, grandiose, and dumb script controls the intensity of this confrontation, so that the affected pond fish can always catch a glimmer of life in a critical moment.
The nodes of the security network have probably been completely destroyed, and Father Sissen is no longer able to contact the other companions, nor is he able to determine their location and situation. The surface of this area is covered with ravines, each of which is at least three meters deep and tens of meters long. The physical destruction was obvious and terrifying, of course, but Father Sissen was glad that the battle didn't seem to interfere so much on the conscious level.
Both monsters were apparently acting in very different ways and ideas than humans, and Father Sissen himself had no idea what they were trying to achieve with each other. They were so riotous, chaotic, and frenzied, like two wild beasts biting at each other. They are not always safe on this battlefield, and Father Sissen has seen the female humanoid monster and the organic and inorganic tentacles injured many times, but even if these two monsters are injured, they will recover as soon as possible, and from a deeper perspective, the superficially observable injuries they receive are not enough to fundamentally hurt them.
Father Sissen's location was once again distorted in space, and before he was swallowed up, his body had slid towards the established evacuation route as if it had been fitted with a jet. Once again, he did not feel that he was in a good state, but rather that he had a rejection of the situation and an emotional low ebb in his heart, and the prosthetic body controlled this level of consciousness very well.
Reason was turbulent in Father Sissen's mind, and it was enough to maintain his sanity, and even he himself did not know when and under what circumstances he would collapse, and from the present point of view, the means he had used against him were effective. Father Sissen didn't want to be mad because of this fight, so the good news is that the battle from the conscious level, which is physical, not conscious, will continue.
Father Sissen is not a consciousness walker and definitely does not want to see problems that must be solved entirely at the level of consciousness. He no longer has any advantages, and once he gets caught up in the battle of consciousness, he will only be at an even greater disadvantage. While he dodges, he is also constantly trying to restore contact with "Sha". Experiencing the battle between the two monsters in front of him, he was even more skeptical that the aboriginal area was still safe, and he had an ominous premonition that he had to confirm it from Sha's side.
Father Sissen walked between deadly phenomena, getting closer to the coordinates listed as nodes of the safety net. Originally, the schematic diagram of the security network structure of this area given by "Sha" did not have a confirmed, completely fixed and only one node. Here's why the construction machine needed to connect a large area of buildings to form a huge scale: the mission was originally an extensive exploration, and rough information had already been given, but in order to complete the plan, more specific information had to be found on the ground to complete the details.
Fr. Sissen believes that since the task has been specified, as long as the node can be handled, Sha can adjust it remotely through the secure network he has, and now that the node has been found, he can also rely on the node to open up those connections that have been broken for some reason. The power that is blocking the means of communication is mysterious, but the security system that has been dominating the entire operation of the Ruling Bureau is also highly mysterious enough to break through the barriers that hinder communication.
That said, it's not an easy thing to do. Whenever Father Sissen approached the coordinates calculated by the prosthetics, some unexpected, extremely powerful explosion occurred, forcing him to move away from this coordinate. And, even if you have a rough schematic diagram and get a reference point, in practice, these coordinates are wandering, not "fixed in a certain position", but "most of the time appear in a certain range". The usefulness of a construction machine lies in the fact that it is based on an existing building and continues to form a certain structure, which can lock the coordinates when they appear in a certain range, and then further fix them.
However, all of the construction machines that exist in this area have now been eroded by anomalous flesh and blood, and have become part of the giant tentacles. Father Sissen had to try his luck and allow himself to enter the range of coordinates within a limited period of time and make contact with them before they moved, a practice that had been calculated by Sha before the operation began, with a success rate of less than 10 percent.
Father Sissen's feelings at this time were even more difficult than when he saw the probability values at that time, and his desperate attempts did not bring him a seemingly promising result. While enduring the threat of death every minute and every second, he still has to fail so many times, and he would probably have collapsed long ago. In this predicament, Fr. Sissen tasted the inevitable suffering of the asceticism that Father Edward had taught him - that everything that was not desired would not come to fruition, and that everything that was desired would not be successful, so that what he did not want became especially real. Putting aside the self's own reference to things, we can only look at them from a perspective that transcends reason and sensibility, and from a perspective from which all things must end, in order to see the truth.
From time to time, Father Sissen would have thought: Could it be that the luck that prevented him from dying in this battle, and the pain that allowed him to survive and not be able to do more than he wanted, was the thread of some kind of truth? Is there a God's script behind this "luck" that can survive but is bound to be tormented? Is it a metaphor for the inevitability of the end of the world?
"To survive in this world is a pain in itself; Death is the only relief. As if it had come to his own mind, as if a voice was speaking to him, it was not a clear thought or a word, but a hazy and muffled voice that sounded from Father Sissen's heart. Like a syllable, and like it contains many meanings, this low, muddy, seemingly absent sound, like a great thing beyond its own cognition whispering, and of course, like an illusion produced by oneself in an extreme situation.
Father Sissen's pupils were a little dilated.
