The goth girl was gone, and that's what Takagawa and the driver felt, and even though she was leaning on the huge sofa chair, and the black tea was still steaming, it was as if it was just a shell, a humanoid instrument, her soul, her presence, had gone with her voice. The room was quiet again, and the driver wanted to make sure what was going on with the girl in front of him, but he heard a series of footsteps, as if someone was lining up, and these people had passed through the door, and were lined up on either side of the two, but they could not see the figures of these people—there was nothing but sound, and they could only use their voices to discern their location.

The room was obviously palatial and full of elegance, but it was exceptionally empty and quiet, as if the footsteps were only there to set off this atmosphere. Takakawa turned his head to look around, only to see that the walls were decorated with modern lamps, but in fact, the wall lamps with candles were all suddenly extinguished, and the room fell into a clear darkness, and the night with a faint light in the wilderness was cast through the large window facing the door, making people feel as if they could return to the wilderness as long as they walked forward.

This is such a dark, quiet and open hall, however, both Takakawa and the driver clearly remember that this is not a foyer.

"Is it my delusion? I always felt that the room seemed to be much larger than it had been before, and ......," muttered the driver, who looked up at the ceiling, and the height of the floors was very different from what he remembered.

The high ceilings, the expanded rooms, the shifts in brightness and color, and the inexplicable sounds make it feel like where you were a second ago and where you are now, are not the same thing at all.

The footsteps of the people had stopped, and the last impression was that these invisible "ghosts" were lined up on both sides, as if waiting for the two to leave. Both Takakawa and the driver could tell where they were standing just by impression, but whether they looked at it with their eyes or walked over to touch it, it was as if it were really just air.

For a while, the driver was a little hesitant and didn't know what to do. Although he felt like he was "sending off", he hadn't finished what he wanted to do when he came here - he didn't come here for no reason, he firmly believed that the goth girl before was a witch, so whether it was the other party's mysterious way of speaking, or calling himself a messenger, even if the words revealed some strange and incomprehensible information, he could accept it. Moreover, he felt that this was the only way to conform to the image of a witch. He did not deny that when he saw the other party, he was crushed by the grotesque aura and the satisfaction in his heart that he was about to get what he wanted.

However, when all this subsided, he realized that he did not yet know what the witch was called. Although the other party has said that it is not unreasonable to call her by the name in the witch story, which is full of suggestive meaning VV and W, and the name is not important. But the driver thought that since she existed, since she had made up the story of the witch and made the story known to her unknown "messenger", then she should have a name before that.

In addition, the fairy-tale rumor that "when you see a witch, you can ask her to help you fulfill a wish" was a big reason why he insisted on coming here, but now, he didn't even have the opportunity to make that wish.

"Shall we stay here?" The driver looked at Gao Chuan with a hint of pleading: "Mr. Gao Chuan, what do you think?" ”

"Do you still want her to make her wish?" Takakawa looked at him calmly and said, "Actually, I have some friends who may be able to help you, and your loved ones - whether they are sisters, sisters, wives or daughters - should be fine as long as they are not dead, but have only been injured by radiation." That being said, as a "messenger" deliberately created by one of the three giants of the Doomsday Shinrikyo cult, even if he doesn't have enough self-awareness of this, it is inevitable that many abnormal situations will happen to him. Takakawa wasn't sure if he really had relatives, and if he realized that he didn't have them, it would have a big impact on his psyche.

It is not very difficult for a consciousness walker to change and fabricate the consciousness of others to believe that they have not had something to be true. Gao Chuan has seen a case in the Internet ball, where the conscious walker acted in secrecy, making a lonely homeless man feel that he was working hard every day to raise his wife and daughter who had been separated for many years, and finally, when the consciousness walker let go of the lone homeless man, the poor homeless man finally realized that the motivation that had supported his life for many years was actually false and non-existent, so he died.

It was not a physical suicide in the normal sense, the consciousness walker did not harm his mental consciousness, he fell asleep and then did not wake up - everyone believed that he himself killed his consciousness in a dream.

I don't want to live anymore, so I sleep and die. This is the gentlest and most brutal euthanasia of the suicide cases Takakawa has ever seen. However, Takakawa is not sure if such a dead homeless man has really been comforted.

In Gao Chuan's eyes, the driver is in a strange and dangerous situation, and his motivation to survive is gradually becoming singular after knowing the existence of the witch, as if seeing the witch and asking the other party to realize his wish is his lifelong pursuit, and there is no other reason to live. In the eyes of normal people, this is a very unhealthy idea, for every normal person, the will and motivation to live is a very complex combination, it is a physiological and spiritual interaction, so it is also a matter of course, no reason is needed.

Complex factors are intertwined, so that one of them is lost, and the desire to survive will not collapse, and singularity means that the person is both stubborn and strong, but also very fragile, like a diamond, hard enough, but lacking in resilience.

Anyone with a pure and simple mind is powerful, dangerous, and vulnerable at the same time, just like the driver in front of him.

"No need. Mr. Takakawa, I want to stay. The driver looked at Gao Chuan earnestly and said, "I know that the witch has not left yet, and she is not urging us to leave. At the moment, she is still very talkative, she knows both Shinrikyo and the Nazis, but she is not in league with them, maybe we can get her help. In this way, very few people will die. ”

"That's not why you want to stay." Takakawa hit the nail on the head to debunk his lies.

The driver was silent for a moment before he said, "Mr. Takakawa, when you were a child, did you ever fantasize that the fairy tales you heard were all real?" I have. ”

“…… I understand. Gao Chuan nodded and stopped persuading, "Since you want it so much, let's stay." Then he took out his mobile phone and took a look, sure enough, there was no signal, but time was still moving, he couldn't be sure, this is the time flow rate in this temporary data hedging space, or the time flow rate of the outside world, maybe, here, time is meaningless at all.

"Forty-eight hours." He added: "If she still hasn't heard from her within forty-eight hours, then I'll force you to leave." You are my driver, it is my job to get me to my destination, and you should be responsible. ”

The driver laughed heartily, nodded vigorously and said, "I'll be responsible." With that, he looked to his sides, and still could not see the unseen ghosts where they had stood when they had stopped, but he felt that these unseen things were like trained servants, waiting for their decision.

So, under the invisible greeting, the two left the room with a greatly changed appearance. When they stepped out of the door, they had a strong feeling that they had not just stepped through a door, in such a short moment, there were many thresholds that took the initiative to pass under their feet, Gao Chuan suddenly turned to look behind him, only to see that everything behind him was speeding away, obviously he did not move, but the sense of movement of things away from him was very amazing.

By the time all movement had stopped, the witch's room had disappeared, and she and the driver were in a new room. The furnishings here tell the two that this is a double bedroom. The style is the same as that of the witch's room, dark, luxurious, quiet and open, and the candles do not need to be lit, but dot the walls along a thin groove. The walls are rough in stone, but they are decorated with modern sophisticated and smooth furnishings, and there are two large enough beds for four people, placed on two sides, spaced ten meters apart from each other.

With such a huge sense of space, it makes people feel more and more at a loss for themselves. Even after seeing the mansion, Gao Chuan can still feel the vitality of this emotion, and then it is suppressed by the brain and hardware, and there is still a mysterious smell floating here, and the mysterious power affects the entire wilderness and the foreign pavilion all the time, which is the real origin of the feeling of not knowing how to deal with yourself.

Seeing these two big beds, the driver's expression suddenly became very tired, he seemed to be a puppet manipulated by invisible silk threads, ignoring Gao Chuan, who was still standing aside, staggered to the bed, and without even taking off his clothes, the whole person fell down and fell asleep.

Takakawa knew of course that this was not a normal situation, but he also didn't feel that the driver was hurt for the time being - he just slept, fell asleep normally, and although the process was a little weird, there were no abnormal physiological changes in terms of the results obtained on the retinal screen and sensations.

As for what the driver will see in the dream, Gao Chuan doesn't plan to know, even at this time, he can use the ability to walk with consciousness and walk into the driver's dream.

Gao Chuan sat on the bed and pressed down hard, although the mattress was soft, it inexplicably gave him a "feeling that there was something under the bed", so he leaned over and looked at the bottom of the bed. Although he was mentally prepared, there was nothing there, which gave him a sense of his own suspicion, but as a mystery expert, he certainly trusted his instincts more.

Although the driver may feel that the Goth Maiden is a witch, she is a good talker, judging from the fundamentals of the Doomsday Shinrikyo doctrine, her personality is also mild, and more importantly, she has something to ask for, whether it is a deal, or to pull her into a gang to deal with the Nazis, there is a good chance. However, Takakawa and his view are different, in this apocalyptic illusion, no one knows better than him what a person who can observe the reality of the hospital through the apocalyptic illusion will think - even if the goth girl does not actually observe the reality of the hospital, but it is only separated by a membrane, she sees the separation between the reality of the hospital and the apocalyptic illusion as a dream of a creation myth, and believes in the reality of this dream. From Takakawa's point of view, it is almost impossible to accomplish - how can a person who has collapsed into an LCL break free from the delicate connection between personality and personality, between spirit and spirit, and reconstruct the physical body in order to "recover" in the reality of the hospital?

In fact, this is also the problem that Takakawa, who has also collapsed into an LCL, needs to face if he wants to become a super Takakawa. It's just that it doesn't make much sense to become a super high river in the apocalyptic fantasy, and if you don't get the basis for action from the perspective of the world that you can observe, then your changes to the world will be one-sided and full of regrets.

The Super Takakawa Project was originally initiated by Takakawa and was actually perfected by Dorothy and the color system, and it was not a stable plan, according to the changes in the apocalyptic illusion and the actual situation in the hospital, the details of the plan were always in a state of adjustment at any time. Although Gao Chuan himself is the executor, he is not clear about the details, precisely because these details are complex and changeable. In this plan, how to make Takakawa regain his body in the reality of the hospital, Dorothy's explanation is only "with the help of Dr. Ender's human completion plan", and the part that Takakawa can understand is only to imagine the situation of "reversing the human completion plan", and how to do it is unknown, because it seems to involve the so-called "grand unification theory".

Even with the help of Dorothy and Tie Sei, the Super Takakawa plan is struggling, and is it really possible to free up the resources to return the goth girl to the reality of the hospital?

Gao Chuan clasped his hands behind his head and lay on the soft big bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. It's not just that the brain hardware and prosthetics make him not need to sleep, but also because the information he gets from the goth girl is too surprising.

It turns out that there are real people who can observe the reality of the hospital from the apocalyptic illusion - in the past, he thought it was just an imagination, but now, the example is in front of him. (To be continued.) )
