1648 Weilan
When the unknown is not understood, but only infinitely breeds the unknown, then, after destroying its own enemy, the mysterious power will eventually destroy itself, and the fear from the unknown is not without purpose, it is life's vigilance against doom. However, when all that is known, the wisdom that is already possessed, the knowledge that exists, cannot resist the threat from the unknown, then what is the choice but to use the unknown and mysterious power?
Even if something unknown and mysterious does not come with malicious intent, the mere fact that it appears as an observable phenomenon already makes people feel that everything is slipping in a bad direction and that there is nothing they can do about it.
The world is so cruel that people have to move forward in the dark, with the help of light that their eyes can't see. This is the apocalyptic fantasy, and this is the world that Takakawa witnesses.
There was a strong sense of influx raging in Gao Chuan's body until he lifted the fusion with the Three Immortals Island, but he could still clearly perceive that the connection between the prosthetic body and the Three Immortals Island was so close that the overloaded information seemed to be blocked by a dam, but it could still surge out from a drainage outlet, and his prosthetic body and brain hardware were processing a greater amount of information than before at all times. He didn't understand the connection between the prosthetic body and the Three Immortals Island at all, nor did he understand how he integrated into the Three Immortals Island and how he disintegrated it, the only thing he could be sure of was that he survived, in the violent conflict between the Three Immortals Island and the yellow phenomenon, in the unreasonable hedging phenomenon that escaped from this violent conflict, from the material level to the consciousness level, to ensure that his own personality was not destroyed.
Mere dizziness, mere vomiting, mere fear for the rest of the life is undoubtedly a very slight price to pay relative to the fact of survival.
Only Takakawa knew that this was not a normal battle, and as an actual participant, he could not observe the sharp and instantaneous changes on the battlefield again and again, nor could he determine what he had done, and what he did in this battle was only "thinking" and "imagining", and even afterwards, it was difficult to recall what he had specifically thought and imagined at that time, and when the indescribable existence in the mode of human thinking and language entered his mind, there was only one thing left called "hallucination" The dregs, even if they are just the dregs, are enough to make one feel like their spirits are being drained.
Gao Chuan got up from the ground, he couldn't vomit anything, sixty percent of the prosthetic body, even impurities would not be spared, and even the strength of the control of the brain and hardware over the prosthetic body could not prevent such a strong feeling of nausea, as if this discomfort did not come from the body's protest, but something forcibly stuffed from the outside.
Takakawa took a deep breath, the dizziness that didn't stop him from looking at the Three Immortals Island once more—he stood on the edge of a cliff on one of the islands, and could see the vague outline on the other side. The system of war fortresses consisting of three islands was so large and, unexpectedly, maintained a natural and inhospitable ecological landscape on the surface. When he merged with the Three Immortals Island, he already knew that the interior and exterior of the island were different, and in the interior, there was also another sense of "interior", and this "interior" was not the middle of the island hollowed out from the material, but another way of existence relative to the appearance of physical nature.
If the Governing Authority's legacy, the "Grey Mist," reveals to occult experts a presence that can be both material and immaterial, blurring the boundaries between matter and consciousness, then this "inside" is a similar existence - it sits on the line of clear demarcation between all material and immaterial descriptions encompassed by the concept of the Three Immortals.
Therefore, the basic structure of the Three Immortals Island is actually three layers: the "inner side" between the material and the immaterial, and the outer side, which is more materialistic than the "inner side", and the outer side of this materiality is divided into the inside and the outside.
From the outside of the matter, the Three Immortals Island is indeed three disconnected islands, however, the more you explore inward, and even go deeper into the interior, the division between each island becomes more blurred, and they become a whole in an ambiguous way, you have me, I have you. In this way, it is more in line with the unified name of "Sanxian Island", rather than being called by the three names of Penglai, Golden Turtle and Abbot.
After the re-separation of the prosthetic body and the Three Immortals Island, Gao Chuan could no longer tell which of the three islands he was located on, Penglai, the Golden Turtle and the Abbot, but he could still tell according to his own experience and feelings that when he first set foot on the Three Immortals Island, he quickly went deep into the inside from the outside, so he had the sense of dislocation as if the previous step was still in Penglai, and the next step was in the Golden Turtle and the abbot.
The sky was blue, and the scenery on the sea was still the same, as if the tragic battle had turned into a cloud of smoke in the blink of an eye, and the gloomy temporary data hedging space did not leave a trace. Gao Chuan stood for a long time, and time finally convinced him that he had indeed returned to a normal world.
About ten minutes later, a piece of communication came in. This is the first time that Takakawa has received information from other parties since the voyage of the new Titanic.
Communication has returned to normal, and the first thing I received was encrypted signals from Britain, London, and Cyberball.
Takakawa pulled out his cigarette, and at some point, the cigarette box was slashed off by a third, and it looked like he had almost cut himself off with a sharp blade - Takakawa had no impression of such an attack - he lit only half of the cigarette before accessing the communication.
"I'm Gao Chuan, and I've entered the Three Immortals Island." Gao Chuan has always felt that the sudden intrusion of Sanxian Island into the temporary data hedging space caused by the yellow phenomenon is behind the handiwork of the network ball. The terrible nature of the yellow phenomenon has been reflected in the battle on the Three Immortals Island, and it has been proved that the Netball's decision is correct - if the Netball has made this decision from the time it observes the yellow phenomenon, then the Netball must have a very special channel that allows it to make a correct assessment of the mysterious phenomenon of the Yellow Phenomenon, and it also proves that any mysterious phenomenon below the level of the Yellow Phenomenon can be evaluated by the Netball.
Takakawa has always believed that when faced with the unknown, he can observe, can reasonably examine himself, use himself as a reference, make a correct assessment of the unknown, and have the ability to respond to the results of the assessment - the cyberball that can do these things is worthy of the name of the world's second largest mysterious organization.
"Congratulations, Mr. Takakawa, for saving the world once again." The voice that spoke was a woman, as polite and full of a sense of distance as a customer service staff, and even the words of congratulations seemed to be reading the manuscript calmly, "I am the operator this time, and I am here to inform you to upload the information of this battle as soon as possible." ”
"No problem, but I need more specific information on the mysterious phenomenon this time." Takakawa did not refuse, because of the existence of Omi, I don't know how many times just by sharing information. He knew very well that he was not particularly smart, and that without the help of others, he would need to put more effort into analyzing the information, and the information he could obtain at the same time would be far inferior to that provided by the cyberball.
The operator processed it for about a minute or so before he said to Takakawa, "It's ready, you can download it at any time." ”
After obtaining Takakawa's subjective consent, the brain and hardware have begun to function, and at the same time as uploading the data, they are also downloading the data that the cyberball has prepared. After checking the signatures of the materials, Gao Chuan began to flip through the materials. As he had guessed during the battle, the Cybersphere had directly observed the phenomenon of yellow in the collective human subconscious through a special means – a capability of the London Repeater in the data - and was the first to connect it with Omi's observation of the temporary data hedging space at sea.
Cyberball claims to have tried to solve the phenomenon of pornography in the collective human subconscious on its own, but failed. The harm of the yellow phenomenon, as Takakawa thought, could directly lead to the irregular death of thousands of people.
"10,000 people per second?" Gao Chuan frowned, the lethality of the yellow phenomenon was even more ferocious than he thought, he was not sure if the yellow phenomenon had reached or even exceeded this threshold when the Yellow Phenomenon was solved by the Three Immortals Island.
The series of actions to confirm the dangers of the yellow phenomenon, negotiate with the Central Principality, and mobilize the Three Immortals Island took longer than the sense of time generated by Takakawa falling into the temporary data hedging space. To put it simply, Gao Chuan felt that he had not even reached ten minutes from observing the yellow phenomenon to solving the yellow phenomenon.
However, since it is true that a longer period of time has passed, how many people have died because of the phenomenon of pornography? The preliminary statistics of Cyberball are: 1.3 million people. Takakawa knew that this was definitely not the final amount.
Although there is not enough evidence for this, the Netball side also believes that the Doomsday Shinrikyo masterminded the pornographic phenomenon, and that it was likely an experimental act. Even if the yellow phenomenon has been resolved this time, the Doomsday Shinrikyo has achieved enough validation. The next time is likely to be a catastrophe that goes even further to the level of the yellow phenomenon. Cyberball believes that this is a precursor to the attempt of the Doomsday Shinrikyo to do something about the monster in the depths of the collective human subconscious.
Cybersphere continues to collect a lot of evidence to determine whether the inhuman monsters in the collective human subconscious are really the end of the world, or the source of the end of humanity. There are too many possibilities to point to this monster, however, even Cyberball, the world's second-largest mysterious organization, has not found a perfect solution to this monster. To be more precise, Cyberball is not at all in the way of the collective human subconscious war with that monster.
It is a monster that most occult experts cannot observe, and even if it has the means to enter the collective subconscious of human beings, at most it can only feel its existence and fear it. In the information of the Cyberball, it was specifically stated that the person who died at the hands of that monster had an obvious commonality of mental state, and the Cybersphere had accelerated the study of the meaning behind this commonality, but no practical results had been obtained so far.
In the downloaded information, there are still many things that need to be explained by the Cyber Ball, but Gao Chuan can already smell some different smells about the sudden appearance of Sanxian Island in this sea area - the real intention of the Cyber Ball seems to be to use the yellow phenomenon to test whether Gao Chuan and Sanxian Dao really have a chance to fight against the monster hidden in the collective subconscious of mankind.
In addition to these pieces of information about the "safety of the world", there was also the news that the new Titanic had successfully returned to the United Nations-monitored sea area, although the personnel on board were one-third less than when they were separated from Gao Chuan, but among the remaining personnel, the people who were familiar with Gao Chuan were only seriously injured at most. Perhaps this is the only news for Gao Chuan that can make him feel some comfort in the bad things that followed.
In addition to this, there is also a text message from the Central Principality, to the effect that there are people with bad intentions on the Three Immortals Island. However, Takakawa didn't notice that there were other people on the island besides himself at this time. When he integrated into the Three Immortals Island, he once inspected the Three Immortals Island to a certain extent in a way that he felt the whole island, and although it was confirmed that there were a large number of man-made buildings, there were no signs of human activity in these buildings that would naturally exist.
Was it because when the Three Immortals Island was moving and changing, it couldn't withstand the changes in the environment and died? However, if it is not a particularly bizarre way of dying, it is normal to leave some traces of corpses.
After the communication with the Netball, Takakawa decided to go to the man-made parts of the island for a more detailed examination - if he could still integrate into the Three Immortals Island at this time, he would naturally not need to be so troublesome. However, the Three Immortals Island has entered a state of self-isolation, unable to manipulate the Three Immortals Island except for its connection with the prosthetic body—for Takakawa, it is a feeling that his own consciousness cannot transmit the past.
The Three Immortals Island began to move again. Although Takakawa did not feel a stronger sense of movement, the perception that "Sanxian Island is moving in the direction of Australia" suddenly appeared in Takakawa's mind, and he accepted it as a matter of course.
Takakawa threw away his cigarette butts, rechecked one side of his equipment, and strode towards the area that he had repurposed. Although the Central Principality has sent a detailed map, Takakawa, who once integrated into Sansen Island, will not lose his way as long as he trusts his feelings. The closer you get to the places that can be vaguely recalled, the clearer these memories become, as if you participated in the construction of the Three Immortals Island from beginning to end, and know the location and sharing of these artifacts well.
