The NOG team has done a lot of interesting things during this time, analyzing the communication between the Repeater world and the outside world, analyzing the nature of the Electrodemon, summarizing the evolution of the nightmare, and trying to use the representations they know to drive the changes they want to see. There are a lot of failures, but there are also a few successes, and this part of the success is like the Savage finding the heat of the sun with a convex lens to ignite the grass and trees, the Savage does not know why this phenomenon occurs, in their eyes, this is "mysterious", but this does not prevent them from applying this phenomenon, does it? In the apocalyptic fantasy, any exploration of the "mysterious" is a situation of knowing what it is and not knowing why it is, and yet, it can reap results that science cannot do.

For, to explain mystery by science, then mystery is something that is a thousand times farther than the limits that science can reach at the same moment. For those who like to see the world with science, this understanding can prevent them from falling into madness, and it also seems to make them see the possibility of studying mysteries. However, I am sure that "Jiang" is definitely not using this way to understand the mechanism of the existence of the world.

There are all kinds of people in NOG, and their views and understandings of "mystery" are also different, although they are all using mysterious powers, there must have been attempts to resolve the mystery, and no matter whether these attempts are successful or failed, there will always be some clues that they can use their minds to summarize a conclusion.

From the phenomenon of substitution of characters in this repeater world to the transformation of matter and spirit, from the temporary number jù hedging space in Las Vegas in the observation of the outside world, to the narrow individual consciousness of the ghost nightmare, and even the nightmare Las Vegas, which is theoretically related to the common consciousness space of all the electronic demon messengers, these are all things that the NOG team is trying to explain - the occult experts are very clear. What I see, what I can know, and what I connect these cognitions to form this complex three-dimensional form is not the whole picture of the world I live in, but only a small section. Moreover, this cross-sectional image is full of personal subjective suspicions, but if you can't even construct this cross-sectional image in your mind, it is like falling into boundless darkness, and no matter what you do, it will only bring emptiness. Emptiness does not respond to anyone's actions and thoughts, and therefore does not generate the motivation to act. For the mysterious experts who can realize the meaning of their own being, it is simply the most terrifying situation.

So, the NOG's occult experts forcibly recognize the relationship between the Animatronics, the Ghost Nightmare, and the Nightmare Las Vegas Trinity - part of this relationship can be proved logically, but more part is a kind of intuitive and emotional speculation, which means that, from the beginning, the NOG team did not feel it. What I have come to is the right conclusion. Rather, it is only to use this conclusion as a reference for making one's actions coherent.

John Bull not only brought me the adjusted electronic demon summoning system of the NOG team, but also informed me of the conclusions they had concluded after observing the world. I don't doubt the purpose of the other party's this, because, for the occult experts. The conclusions of others, although they are informative, are not important, and the most valuable are the details that lead to that conclusion. However, the details of the part of the intelligence. Of course, it's not free.

"The four known repeaters in the world - Doomsday Truth, Nazi Moon, Las Vegas, Area 51 - are geographically separated by 108,000 miles, but in the sea of the collective subconscious, they have inevitably interfered with each other. This is the inevitable fate after the birth of the repeater, in that world where there is almost no estrangement, every memory is a source of interference, like the repeater so powerful storage zài, is an incomparably powerful source of interference. Even if the world in the eyes of ordinary people has not changed much, in fact, everyone and everything has been affected. John Niu Yan said: "Any existence that has too strong a sense of existence in the subconscious sea directly affects the operation of the world, as well as the fate of each person, after all, man is a creature whose consciousness leads the action, and most people do not realize that their subconscious mind is affected all the time." Therefore, we need repeaters to counter another powerful interference source with a powerful interference source. ”

"I can understand, but, remember that thing I saw in the Ruling Bureau not long ago? Summoned by the Doomsday Shinrikyo Cult, the shadow of that monster. "Of course, I can understand that the principle of what they are doing is simple and full of logic, and they still observe what is happening with human eyes, but as human beings, they can only observe it with such eyes. John Bull must not have said these things to me on a whim, but what did she want me to do? And does her position represent Cyberball or NOG? IMHO, the current Cyberball and NOG are not yet fully considered one.

I followed her words and said, "I think you should care more about that monster than you who are focused on saving the end of the world than the Las Vegas repeater." ”

"The cyberball really cares more about that monster, there is such an evil, such a huge source of interference rooted in the collective subconscious of human beings, if it is not the root of the apocalypse, it must also be one of the inevitable causes of the apocalypse." John Bull rubbed the bridge of his nose, looking a little tired, "However, NOG's goal is more ...... Be unpretentious. I think what she's trying to say is "short-sighted": "The NOG's goal is to focus on the things that are more successful in the moment, like getting or breaking the Las Vegas repeater, and of course, if you can, it's better to get it." ”

"It's easy to understand." I nodded, so, even though I knew it was a decoy dropped by the Nazis, full of traps, and with Shinrikyo of Doom on the sidelines, the NOG still assembled our special operations team. What does the Doomsday Shinrikyo want to do is something that the Netball cares about, but it is not something that NOG particularly wants to know, what NOG wants is just that the Doomsday Shinrikyo will clash with the Nazis for its own plans. If you work hard, it will be difficult for NOG to get cheap in the gap between Shinrikyo and the Nazis, so there must be such a chaotic environment. Even, using the qiē that can be used to take the initiative to create such a chaotic environment, can you take advantage of the fire. NOG's plan is actually easy to understand, because, in fact, there are not many options.

Doomsday Shinrikyo and the Nazis. Naturally, they also understood NOG's intentions, but they remained silent, which is easy to understand that they are trying to push the boat down the river to complete their ulterior conspiracy. It's an invisible game, and no one can be sure of the outcome until the dust settles, but, in this world. Someone who has a foreseeable outcome is a prophet. The prophet's prophecy is like a hazy poem, an abstract painting, and to interpret such a poem and a picture to get a revelation to guide one's own actions is something that every mystical organization with a prophet does. Even if the end result. It is the interaction of actors. The result of the prophecy was accomplished.

The prophecy of the prophet has never been wrong, as if it is the embodiment of a certain stage of fate, and the practice of the cyberball is not to oppose the prophecy, whether the prophecy is good or bad, the cyberball is the best thing to do. It is to incorporate this good and bad into the plan for the next stage, and to counteract the prophetic impact of one stage with extraordinary foresight. And in the apocalyptic fantasy, the cyberball can be known to everyone with great fanfare. They can do this kind of thing, and they are the best mysterious organization in the world at doing this kind of thing. The cybersphere is very strong, and unlike the general mysterious organizations hidden in the shadows, they openly declare and prove their strength, forming a heart-wrenching momentum and power, and using this momentum and power to influence others - just like John Bull said before, a strong sense of existence is a powerful source of interference, and its existence itself will inevitably affect other existence, and only an equal or stronger existence can weaken this influence as much as possible, but it is impossible to completely avoid it.

From the moment NOG was founded, the biggest impact was the cyberball, but it was in the midst of expansion and naturally resisted this influence. The composition, actions and ultimate goals of the NOG team, of course, cannot be synchronized with the Cyberball, and the current situation is presented - John Bull from the Cyberball has a lot of say, even if she is not a colleague of the Cyberball, she is willing to help her, but this does not mean that she can reverse the goals of the NOG team, such as "abandon the repeater and go all out to deal with the monster lurking in the collective human subconscious summoned by the Shinrikyo of Doom to solve the mystery hidden in it" and so on.

NOG's goal is to "destroy or capture the Las Vegas Repeater", and John Bull, as a member of the team, must work towards this goal, even if it is to give up the net ball and think it is better and more correct.

"So, what do you mean?" I asked rhetorically.

"The case of the Doomsday Shinrikyo having repeaters, even if they are assumed to have more than this Las Vegas repeater and wipe out the Nazis, the threat posed by that monster is still not of the same level." John Bull said seriously: "This is my judgment, and in this operation, in this team, I have the authority to represent the network ball, my thinking, judgment and decision, are recognized by the network ball, and the identity given to me by the network ball allows me to still provide you with a part of NOG's combat resources even if the whole team is not impressed with you." It can also be guaranteed that although the details are not free, the summary of the overall situation made by the team can be informed to you free of charge at the first time. John Bull took a sip of the wine in his glass and said heavily: "Our previous interaction is enough to prove my sincerity." ”

"So, what do you want me to do?" I asked calmly.

"Shift the target of your investigation to that monster." John Bull stared at me and said, "NOG won't allocate manpower to that monster because that would weaken the possibility of capturing the Las Vegas repeater, but NOG will definitely support you in shifting your target to that monster." I can use all sorts of reasons to secure resources for you, which you can use anywhere, including augmenting the Whisperers, to bring all of Asia under your rule. The only thing I need is you, the only fourth-level demon pattern messenger who is different from the other Mr. Takakawa, to help us investigate the monster that lurks in the depths of everyone's subconscious. ”

"You mean, as long as I'm willing to shift my goals, I can sit back and enjoy the fruits of it?" I double-checked.

"Yes, even if you can personally participate in the changes in Europe and the United States, you will not be able to achieve the results of NOG in the case of lack of manpower. But. You are indeed one of the strongest individual soldiers we know, capable of investigating the monster. So—" John Bull licked his lips, his voice a little dry, and I thought it was because of her inner nervousness, though it didn't come out of her expression. But she did have high expectations for my choice, "Let's make a deal." ”

"Speaking of which, my last deal with you cyberballs isn't over yet." I said, "I didn't enter Area 51, and I didn't get to see Mr. Novsky. ”

"It was a decision to let you leave London and join this team in action, and we will go with the flow to meet your requirements." John Bull seemed to sense something, and his smile softened and became kind. As for Novsky, he was the child of fate prophesied by the prophet, but his peculiarity has not yet been revealed. And, even if it's ......prophecy," she shook her head, as if there was some ulterior secret, "the situation of the Child of Destiny doesn't need to be too much of a concern, the deal at the time. It's just to make it acceptable to you. But now it's different, we really need to be as mystical as you are. and an ally who can be trusted and has sufficient strength on a certain level. It's not NOG that deals with you, it's Cyberball, and I think we can trust it. ”

"When it comes to resisting the apocalypse, there really isn't any mystery organization more trustworthy than Cyberball." I honestly admit it. John Bull showed a look of pride.

"So, what is your answer?" She asked.

"Yes." I replied, because John Bull's plan was not contrary to mine. Even when this happens, the plan goes one step further. As John Bull said, the natural limitations of the whisperers, and my emotional choices, make it impossible for me to outdo the NOG team in intelligence and resources, no matter how hard I try, and it is better to waste time on this useless work than to investigate the most intuitive projection of the suspected "virus" at the moment - although, in the ruling bureau, I have already felt it, if there is a real horror, I still do not think that it is a "virus", and to destroy it myself is to eliminate the "virus", it should not be said, Neither I nor anyone in this apocalyptic realm can destroy that thing. However, one thing I am fairly sure of is that if "Jiang" comes to me in a form that is closer to itself than its human form, it should be similar to the monster I observed in the Ruling Bureau. In other words, under the same conditions based on one's own observations, that monster is a "virus", and the struggle between "Jiang" and "virus" will inevitably manifest itself in that monster.

It is unlikely that I could have directly observed the battle between the "river" and the "virus" - assuming that they would have produced a battle - but the battle against the monster that lurked in the depths of the collective subconscious must have been a manifestation of the battle between the "river" and the "virus". If that monster is killed, of course, it will also mean the victory of "Jiang". On the surface, we humans have defeated the monsters, but behind the scenes, the actual situation should be something that we can't understand ourselves, but we can directly confirm it, so we have inexplicably won the victory. It's like a drama in which the brave man faces the demon king with transcendent combat power, and when it is theoretically impossible to win, he still relies on all kinds of good qualities and luck to achieve the final victory.

Yes, I will play an important role in this play. John Bull's choice for me is like luck, it fits my plan, and the ultimate winner will be "Jiang".

"Great." John Bull smiled as he wished, and touched my glass, "Good cooperation." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with." I say.

"Well, I hope you can travel to Europe as much as you can, and I'll still be your direct liaison." John Bull said, "My men will help you run that city...... And maybe the whole of Asia? Her tone was full of sarcasm, as if to say, I am giving up my territory to others. But I know that even if that's the case, it doesn't matter. I'm in this city, not to take over the city, but simply to make sure that the city doesn't fall into chaos and that people have a relatively peaceful everyday environment. As long as there are enough people I can trust to help, I can certainly continue to run around. I don't trust NOG, however, Cyberball does. John Bull made a deal with me as a cyberball, not as a NOG, so I trusted a professional like her to help me better solve the problems that the city was going to face.

"I need three days." I said, "Your people need time to get to know the new territory too." I don't want them to make a mess of the city because of some mistakes. ”

"Don't worry." John Bull smiled meaningfully, "I'll take your place." NOG can't have any complaints. "I can guess that the decision she made was definitely more than killing two birds with one stone. However, it is not up to me to guess how many purposes there are.

"Do you need me to stay with Zuochuan?" I asked.

"No, you can take any of the Whisperer's combat power with you." John Bull said, "But I don't think you should bring a drag bottle." ”

"Whisperers, no one is a drag bottle." I told her seriously, and she just smiled disapprovingly and didn't refute it. I could guess what she was thinking, but it didn't make sense.

"Speaking of which, this nightmare Las Vegas has a lot in common with the repeater itself." John Bull shifted the subject: "The most accepted claim in our research is that the whole Nightmare Las Vegas is where the information inside this repeater converges. Using the structure of a computer as an analogy, a computer should have three basic structures: memory, calculator and controller, so this is memory. ”

"Internal information storage? What kind of process is achieved? "I can't help but ask, it's an interesting topic too.

"Including all intruders." John Bull said: "The conjecture is that this place was originally closed to the public, that is, it was originally a place where no one could enter. But while this repeater world is stored, all the things that make up this world, including all the information about people themselves, are stored here...... Well, maybe it's just backups and projections, but either way, it's all about what the world is made of. Then, we came in, and the electronic demon appeared, and the information of us intruders was also thrown into Nightmare Las Vegas, and at the same time, everyone could theoretically enter Las Vegas through the tunnel created by the electronic demon. John Bull concluded: "The electronic demon summoner is like the key to the nightmare Las Vegas, which is automatically born after the internal information gathering place is opened. The person with the key, who opens the door and goes through the guò tunnel, interacts directly with the information of the nightmare Las Vegas in an indirect or direct way, of course, we are not sure what the goal of this interaction is and what kind of changes will eventually be produced. ”

John Bull's conjecture fits the current observable linkage between electronic demons, ghost nightmares and nightmares Las Vegas, although ghost nightmares and nightmares Las Vegas are both very strange products of consciousness, but weirdness is only an inherent characteristic of consciousness, not its existential meaning. The conclusion of the NOG team gives them a sense of existence, whether it is true or not, but it sounds like it.

"However, according to this assumption." I said, "Will the Repeater Controller Zhì Core appear in this place?" ”

"Memory, calculators, and controllers." John Bull smiled and said: "If Nightmare Las Vegas is memory, then, can all the people who enter Nightmare Las Vegas interfere with this nightmare as a process of calculation?" Calculators, which cannot be seen directly with the naked eye, are already working, and the main body is probably all of us, all the electronic demon messengers, not only the natives, but also us outsiders. And all operations must also have a directionality, which also means that there is also a control device hidden here - many people in the team believe that it is the core of this repeater. Since the repeater itself was a trap set by the Nazis, then, in order to lure the enemy deeper and achieve a conspiracy, the bait would not be placed where no one could find it. So, the assumptions hidden in the nightmare Las Vegas, while somewhat shallow, are not impossible. (To be continued......)
