1644 Takakawa the Hanged
The Three Immortals Island rose from the yellow sea, and Takakawa was completely unaware of how it had entered this temporary data hedging space. As soon as the huge silhouette met his eyes, the prosthetic body had already begun to resonate, and Takakawa's retinal screen was filled with a large number of prompts and options, making him feel as if he had fallen into a sea of information, as if he was about to suffocate.
Strengthen the exterior "Three Immortal Island", the mental system "Yuan Shi Tianzun", and the countercurrent phenomenon...... All kinds of familiar or unheard of terms poured into Gao Chuan's brain and hardware, and with his powerful processing power, almost in the blink of an eye, he understood how the Three Immortals Island worked—not cognitive understanding, but a perceptual sensitivity, like an instinct to raise one's hands and feet. Gao Chuan knew very well that he still didn't understand the mechanism of the operation of the Three Immortals Island and the linkage at the level of details, but he knew how to associate with the Three Immortals Island, and what kind of things could be done after completing the connection with the Three Immortals Island, which was enough.
That's enough.
Because, the original goal of going to Australia was to take over the Three Immortals Island. Now it is conceivable that the arrival of the Three Immortals Island must be driven by the Internet Ball and the Central Principality, and there is some kind of situation that forces the plan to advance, and he is the best choice to deal with this situation - Gao Chuan understood it the first time he saw the Three Immortals Island - and now the yellow sea in front of him must not only affect the sea area visible to his naked eye, but has a deeper and more special impact, and it is an extremely special existence, so that others have no better way to deal with it.
In a place that he could not see, there was some kind of anomaly that had a linkage with what he was seeing, and the situation was sliding towards a terrible depth, and he had to stop it—Takagawa thought, this was the meaning of the arrival of the Three Immortals Island at this moment.
The yellow sea is boiling. The strong invasion of the Three Immortals Island seems to have awakened this yellow sea to some kind of consciousness, or rather, it was originally conscious, but the movement that Gao Chuan could create before could not make it wake up. Its awakening is not manifested in the fierce performance of those arms, or in the changes made by the sea itself.
In the yellow sea like "LCL", the number of arms is already in a "countless" situation, and they are waved according to a certain law, and there is no special change due to the "awakening" of this yellow sea.
The reason why the yellow sea makes people feel that it is already a conscious whole, is completely connected by many changes that cannot be directly observed by the naked eye, forming an extremely strong intuitive impression. It makes the observer can't help but imagine its internal boiling appearance in their minds, and can't help but personify or anthropomorphize it, and imagine its "anger" in a more understandable way.
The appearance of this yellow sea in Gao Chuan's eyes has always been the same, but it can make Gao Chuan clearly distinguish, or rather, he can clearly distinguish each of its emotions - it is precisely because he feels that it has emotions, so he feels that it is alive, and he feels that it is driving a certain will, and this will is not spontaneously generated, but is given.
Who gave it the will? Who does it represent? The simple answer to these questions is, of course, the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion, but a little more complicated, Takakawa does not think that the will that is vaguely presented in this yellow sea is an independent one, and in his senses, its will is full of complex things, as if extracting those similar parts from countless similar and different things, which can be spliced together, to form a temporary new and completely different whole from the original.
This will is a commonality. It exists in the yellow sea, and when Takakawa feels it, he can't help but think of the wandering and splitting personalities in the LCL - these personalities have no physical barriers, swim freely in the LCL that is stable into a liquid state, stick out their tentacles from each other, connect each other in a form that cannot be seen by the naked eye, and connect the parts of the personality that are similar to each other and compatible with each other like puzzles, and finally form a unified personality that is different from any personality, but has each personality component.
Gao Chuan imagined this, but he didn't feel that the yellow sea was exactly the same as the imaginary situation. The will of the yellow sea is more hazy than that unified personality that exists only in the imagination, as if the fog itself, permeated in the air, clearly distinguishes itself, and can be easily recognized, but it gathers and scatters, and keeps flowing, although it is sometimes full of a sense of flow, but it is not as completely indistinguishable as a liquid, it does not condense into a stronger and unified whole, but in such a way that the particles are scattered, as if they are separated, proclaiming its own sense of existence.
The feeling of discrete but unifying makes people feel ungraspable.
When Sanxian Island did not arrive, this feeling alone made Gao Chuan feel that it was difficult to annihilate it. However, the Three Immortals Island seemed to possess certain characteristics that made it so angry and roaring, as if delusional, that the lapping of the island's shores and the waves seemed to become even greater.
Even so, it is difficult to shake the Three Immortals Island.
Takakawa has regained a foothold on the island, and the inside of Sansen Island, even if it is only on the edge, is not the same as the situation outside Sansen Island. The yellow sea created a huge swell, as if it were about to create a tsunami, but every time the wave entered the inner area of Sanxian Island, it immediately disappeared without a trace. Looking at the scene of the waves crashing on the shore from the outside of Sanxian Island, I only feel that Sanxian Island is in a crumbling state at any time, but standing on Sanxian Island, I can't feel a trace of vibration at all.
What's even more incredible is that the chain judgment has already observed the damage to Sanxian Island caused by corrosive yellow waves, but when he went to observe the same place in the next moment, he could no longer find any traces of damage, as if that kind of damage had never appeared.
Gao Chuan's prosthetic body fed back all kinds of information, and after being processed by the brain and hardware, he had the feeling that his entire body was melting into this world. Although this was the first time that he had been so close to the Three Immortals Island, and he hadn't even seen it before, his body could understand which of the three Penglai, the Golden Turtle and the Abbot he was standing in. What's even more incredible is that this feeling is not fixed.
When you step into one of the three islands, you will intuitively feel that you are stepping into Penglai Island, but the second step will become Abbot Island, and in the third step, it may have become Golden Turtle Island - such a strange situation is not directly observed and confirmed by the naked eye or chain judgment, it is from the information transmitted to the prosthetic body by the Three Immortals Island itself, but in this information, there is no explanation for such a strange phenomenon.
When Takakawa walks on the islands, he sometimes even feels that half of his body is on one island and the other half is on another island, but the ground is flat and continuous, there is no visible dividing line, and although his body is located on two islands, it is still a whole in composition - such a contradictory and unified feeling repeatedly appears in Takakawa's walking, and makes him deeply feel the truth of the description that "Sanxian Island is not three independent islands, but the existence of opposites and unity".
Gao Chuan couldn't understand where he was going and how he should go, and the instructions fed back by his brain and hardware were full of indecipherable garbish, unable to locate either his location or the direction of the target. However, even garbled information can cause the prosthesis to react. When Takakawa took action, he felt that it was the prosthetic body that dragged his consciousness, not his own consciousness that determined the whereabouts of the prosthetic body.
Why go there? Why did you go this way? The chosen route and direction are incomprehensible to common sense, and in the process of traveling, there will always be some inexplicable small movements, which make people feel unreasonable. However, Takakawa is not sure whether it will lead to misfortune if he uses his subjective consciousness to limit the actions of the body and make his behavior appear more normal.
Takakawa did not forget that Omi had mentioned more than once that this prosthetic body was adjusted according to the parameters of the Three Immortals Island sent by the Central Principality, and the purpose of such an adjustment was to strengthen the relevance and coordination between the prosthetic body and the Three Immortals Island, and to maximize the power of the two as one.
Gao Chuan couldn't help but think that the reason why only Sanxian Island appeared, or rather, Sanxian Island appeared on this yellow sea, and not anything else, was precisely because the outside world had already embarrassed this situation, and only Sansen Island, which had a special connection with the prosthetic body, could support.
Then, it is extremely important to complete the connection with Sanxian Island as soon as possible. Although the current yellow sea is not yet able to cause substantial damage to the Three Immortals Island, as long as the yellow sea seen in front of you is not the whole of this anomaly, then the part that is not observed has the possibility of further interference with the Three Immortals Island at any time.
What has not been observed, what cannot be observed, but whose possibility cannot be denied, is the situation that makes Takakawa feel the most urgent. But even if some strong premonition was urging him, the progress of the connection between the prosthesis and the Three Immortals Island would not fluctuate with his will and needs—it was so stable that it was interwoven with an extremely complex mechanism that could be clearly perceived, but it was difficult to translate into numerical values for more intuitive cognition.
When his position on the Three Immortals Island becomes ambiguous, time seems to become meaningless, and Gao Chuan feels that he exists in several spaces and tenses at the same time, and his own changes are no longer describable by the description of "how it changes every second". In the time period when he could not describe words such as "for a while" and "for a while", his perception seemed to be flowing along the veins of the earth, radiating in all directions like a spider's web, and he felt so strongly that he was changing, but this change was completely isolated from the interaction between the Three Immortals Island and the outside world, at least in terms of time.
The more the perception radiates outward, the more it dives downward, and the more it merges with the Three Immortals Island, the more clearly you can feel the abnormal space hidden under the ordinary surface. It seems to be a labyrinth of completely bare steel and concrete, like erect nerves, blood vessels, lymphatic and muscle groups, which are obviously full of inorganic sense of non-life, but make people feel that they are doing the activities of an organism. These man-made objects hidden deep under the surface of the Three Immortals Island, even when viewed as a whole, are definitely not static, these are like labyrinths and cities, more like huge creations of underground bases, in a slow and rhythmic way, starting from the edges to change their contours - multiplying, shrinking, destroying, transforming, all the time, so that Takakawa can't help but think of the construction machines that once appeared in the ruins of the Ruling Bureau. It is as if there are so many things that resemble construction machines, moving in this lifeless and huge complex, making the inorganic and cold complex move as if it were life.
The presence of these complexes also crosses the boundaries of the islands, as if the fragments belonging to different islands are spliced together in a way that crosses space, so that this labyrinthine complex "exists on three islands at the same time". It is this way of being that makes the three islands of the Three Immortals Island more similar to an organic whole, rather than three separate individuals—if not a deformed, whose blood vessels, muscles, nerves, etc., belong to the two human bodies?
If we insist on dividing the unity of the Three Immortals Island and looking at them separately, this labyrinthine multiplication of reinforced concrete buildings is a deformed existence, but on the other hand, the reason why it exists like this is precisely to let people better understand that "the Three Immortals Island is a whole"?
When Gao Chuan realized it, the Three Immortals Island had been swallowed by the yellow sea, and every surface of the island was torn, caressed, and scratched by countless hands, and the location of the prosthetic body was no longer the surface of the Three Immortals Island. Takakawa didn't know where he was, but when he looked up, he could see the water above his head - as if there was a transparent cover that prevented the water from seeping in.
When he realized it again, he realized that he was actually standing upside down - Takakawa stood upside down in a space that seemed to be shrouded in glass on all sides, he was floating in the air, unable to move, unable to touch the glass layer, only through them, to see the constantly stirring yellow water, as if always full of intense emotions, and kept beating the arms of the glass.
-- The mystery lies in the fact that I am upside down.
This sentence came to Takakawa's mind, and he felt like the upside-down hangman in the tarot.
The gesture of inversion, and the special meaning it represents, will become a manifestation of some mysterious power. (To be continued.) )
