What can be done to overcome fate? And how can we judge that we have overcome fate? Takakawa didn't really understand this kind of philosophical question, and he felt that before doing this kind of thing, he first had to have a definition of "fate". If the female officer has set herself an enemy not only with Shinrikyo and the Nazis, but also with the fate that will push the whole world towards the end of the world, or, narrowly, "the trajectories of fate that she can observe", then why can she be sure that if she acts at this moment, she has a chance to achieve her goal?

Because he felt that there was an opportunity, and that he might never have a chance again, he did it as if he were fighting against the odds—if that was the female officer's motive, then Takakawa thought he could understand it. If it is said that the female officer did not think about the question of opportunity at all, but was only motivated by a strong impulse to act at this very moment. Then Gao Chuan must consider whether some kind of mystery has acted on her.

Takakawa admits that the female officer has a very strong opportunity and willingness to act, and has the ability to act, but her goals, and the observations that confirm the achievement of them, are extremely uncertain, as if hidden in a fog, and do not have a detailed and clear outline. Gao Chuan thinks that a person who is calm and rational enough will never behave like this, so no matter how calm and rational the female officer in front of him is, Gao Chuan feels that he has reason to think that the female officer is actually not in a state that can be called calm and rational at all.

Once a prophet has a strong ability to act, he will always do something jaw-dropping. This conclusion abounds in the impressions left by Takakawa in the past. It's not Takakawa who thinks so, many occult experts think so, and some have even suggested it, in the vast majority of cases. A prophet is good for the world only as a prophet rather than an executor.

However, the situation in front of Gao Chuan at this time is already very clear: a prophet with the ability to walk in consciousness, and other mysterious powers that are not yet known. And she's already starting to execute her long-brewing plan. It's not what she wants to do, it's what she has done, in a tough and decisive way, forcibly representing the will of others, taking the initiative to escalate the battle, but she can't be sure that she will get a successful result by doing so, but she must wait for the feedback of the result after doing it. And to keep yourself alive to observe the result, in order to determine whether the result is successful in a way that is difficult for others to know.

This meant that nothing she was doing now, whether it was making the situation look better or worse, was not sure to contribute to the outcome she wanted - and she decided to go according to her plan.

Unless you kill her. Otherwise it will not be possible to convince her, but. Even killing her doesn't necessarily make the situation better.

Takakawa doesn't think he can get the best of both worlds, and he's sure that even if he does what he wants, he won't necessarily get better results. The opposition to female officers is not because they forcibly represent the will of others. It's not that she thinks that what she does will make a bad change in the outcome. And simply because, he believes, the result remains unchanged as "the ship will sink and most of the people on board will die." What female officers do is superfluous.

Even if she doesn't, it doesn't mean that the plan goals can't be achieved, and even if she does, it won't help you achieve the plan goals very significantly. As a result, her behavior at this time, in fact, has almost no impact on the goals of the plan.

However, it was this action, which had little effect on the planned objectives, that actually forcibly interfered with the consciousness of the majority of the people on board, and put them in a situation where "if they died, the murderer might not be the enemy, but their own people". Although, whether the murderer is an enemy, or his own people, it is impossible to change the result that "the ship will sink, and most people will die." But Takakawa still believes that under the premise that the outcome of death remains the same, this kind of question, such as "who killed the robin", is very important.

However, this importance could not be conveyed to the hearts of female officers. Gao Chuan knows very well that whether the things he thinks are important are objectively important in fact, and whether they are also important in the minds of others, in fact, cannot be equated.

Gao Chuan felt that the key to not being able to stop the female officer and making her stop this kind of action according to her own ideas was that perhaps somewhere in his heart, his opposition to the female officer's behavior was actually not as strong as his subjective emotions at this time. I am becoming more complicated, and my judgment on a thing is no longer a simple subtraction that was completely dominated by the brain and hardware in the past. The influence of one's subconscious on the surface consciousness is becoming more and more intense with the passage of time.

This makes him do things that he vaguely thinks he shouldn't do, and he also has the ambivalence of not being against things when he opposes them, but he doesn't feel so opposed. These contradictions have always haunted him, however, what he sees is that the decisions he made in the midst of this contradiction have propelled him to the position of a hero.

"Mr. Takakawa, just as you think." The female officer seemed to see through Gao Chuan's silence and said: "Although you insist on opposing me, deep down in your heart, do you really think that what I have done is completely unreasonable? Completely wrong? If your will had been unanimous, you would have prevented me from meeting at the time of the assembly - but since you had not acted then, why should you bother to speak in vain afterwards? Of course, I'm not laughing at you, but you're not quite the same as I imagined to be decisive, but you're more human. ”

Gao Chuan buried his face in the palm of his hand, rubbed it vigorously, and said, "I still have to think about it." ”

"Whatever you want, you have plenty of time to think before you die." The female officer smiled again, "But, I must warn you, Mr. Takakawa, that you may have more time than anyone else on this ship, but not endlessly. The great, horrific and desperate fate is already on the horizon, and it may be coming sooner than you think. ”

"I didn't think about how fast it would be, because I knew better than you how sudden it would be." Takakawa said. Stood up and left the female officer's room.

After the departure of the female officer, a new round of operations was also started. She didn't think that this conversation was boring and meaningless, on the contrary, because Takakawa had an extremely heavy weight in her heart. Therefore, any exchange can be regarded as an observation and test of Gao Chuan's state at this time. Just like when you sleep with him, when you talk to him, when you forcibly form a committee for tactical cooperation and self-innovation in front of him......

The female officer conducted an all-round investigation and study of Takakawa as much as she could, believing that he played an important role in all the mysterious events involving him that far exceeded the imagination of others at the time - even if he was not the protagonist, he had an influence that reached or even surpassed the protagonist of the events at that time. And including Takakawa himself, the concept and cognition of this influence. It's still at a very shallow level.

Although the female officer could not come up with absolute evidence, as she studied Takakawa, she became more and more convinced that if the world was regarded as a complex whole, then Takakawa might be just one of many hubs, but this hub existed. But it indirectly determines the existence of other hubs.

So, here's the problem.

Why is Takakawa not even the protagonist. His influence is also so great?

Studying this question carefully, the female officer vaguely saw some clues, and when she pursued it, she felt a huge, dark, crazy and desperate thing, entrenched in the darkness. It's like what is called "fate". It seems to be the origin of the "end of the world". She was so frightened that she ran away, almost thinking she wouldn't survive, but she survived. But I always feel that the crazy and desperate thing has been watching me, approaching me, and I actually have no way to escape. It was then that the object of her battle changed. And this change, in hindsight, is also a favorable proof of Gao Chuan's influence.

The female officer wants to tell this kind of thing to others, but once this kind of thing is told in words, it will gradually deviate from what she wants to express because of the limitations of the meaning of the word and the understanding of the meaning of the word. As a result, she began to understand that what she knew was not something that words and words could carry, and that she could not let others do their best to help her by confessing what she knew. I have long been isolated, and what I feel, find, and observe has become the darkness and despair of my own.

After understanding how bad her situation really is, this realization is like a whetstone, making the will of female officers harder and sharper.

Female officers do not sit still. So she stepped on the boat. While she was observing Gao Chuan, she was also trying to reduce Gao Chuan's observation of herself as much as possible. Takakawa's actions and conversations, in the eyes of the female officer, were like signals that he had inadvertently leaked. No, it should be said that the existence of Gao Chuan itself is actually an extremely large signal source, which is radiating thousands of times more than ordinary people all the time. The impact of every action he takes is almost decisive, and therefore, conversely, when he does not do anything, the impact of this inaction is also decisive.

The female officer wanted to know what Takakawa did and what he didn't do in this plan. She turned on her computer, launched her self-built event model, and entered the data she had collected, even though she knew that the situation that the model could simulate was still very different from the actual situation. However, she had to do something to keep herself strong enough not to be defeated by the horror and despair of the future that only she could feel.

At such times, the female officer knows very well that her every action is no longer simply an impact on the outside world, but more importantly, it will have an impact on her own psychological state - before finding the problems of others, she must first make sure that she does not have problems.

Gao Chuan returned to his room along the passage where the atmosphere had changed drastically, and the eerie aura along the way seemed to be brewing a sharper and heavier destruction, which made people feel extremely uneasy. The feeling that "something worse must happen" will involuntarily breed from the bottom of my heart, and no matter how much I refute it, how many reasons I find, or change my perspective, it will not be weakened by half a point.

The book called Mind Replications disappeared. It's gone, indeed. Even if you ignore the confirmation of the brain and hardware, and turn the room through it yourself, you can't find the book. Gao Chuan lay back on the bed and forcibly let his brain and hardware put himself in a state similar to sleep, he felt that he had a lot of things to do, but he couldn't figure out what he should do, and fatigue came over him, he simply didn't want to do anything, just wanted to rest quietly for a while.

The prosthetic body does not get tired, but unfortunately, the mind does. Even the joy of being a hero can't offset this exhaustion. Joy, confusion, contradictions and annoyances, and many more emotions, even if entangled, do not make one disappear for the other. More often than not, they go their own way and make people feel self-complex.

Takakawa's brain fell silent along with his body.

Before he fell into the darkness of ignorance and unconsciousness, he thought that when he woke up, he might understand what he should do.

The ship was drifting in the fog, and even if the captain was still there, he thought he could not give more accurate instructions than the autopilot, because, in an environment where there was no reference, no sun, no moon, no stars, less than fifty meters of visibility outside the ship, and nothing but the sea could be seen, he did not even know where he was. The coordinates of the ship are marked on the map in the autonavigation system, however, in such an eerie environment, how much of the correctness of this coordinate is debatable.

The captain had a general idea of what was going on the ship, and the crew was not involved, but still obeyed his instructions, which was undoubtedly the only thing that reassured him a little in what he considered to be a terrible situation. There is a very conspicuous gap between the four groups, Takakawa, the minority, the crew, and the Tactical Cooperation and Self-Renewal Committee, which is centered on female officers, and, in the eyes of the captain, this gap will grow wider and wider, and there is no chance of closing it.

This is probably a change that no one can know in advance before the ship is sailing. (To be continued.) )
