1699 Song of the Lamb
Takakawa is reluctant to kill, there is not much point in killing people in the apocalyptic illusion, the people here are just sick, and no matter how many times they are killed, they can't be brought to normal. www.biquge.info There are so many things in their minds that are incompatible with the principles that maintain the order of human society, and they succumb to these ideas and to such wills, but this does not blame them for all the mistakes. In the face of that unreasonable, transcendent madness, Takakawa didn't feel that everyone was capable of protecting themselves - he had never seen a normal person in the apocalyptic illusion, including himself and the people he loved.
It's a hell of repetition, and it's not because they've made a mistake that the chance of marriage goes from being a victim to a criminal. The cause did not start with themselves, but the "virus" destroyed everything. First of all, people are sick, and they pass it on to others. If it is said that these people need to be treated like the Black Death patients in the Middle Ages, and that they must first be killed to eradicate the indirect source of infection, then it would not be a mistake to kill them, but Takakawa cannot feel that the person who killed the patient can openly say that he is righteous and complacent about it.
What's more, there is an essential difference between people with doomsday syndrome and people with the Black Death - killing them does not eradicate indirect sources of infection.
Takakawa never rejoiced in the violence he inflicted on these people, including the unscrupulous Nazis who did not have the common sense, and some would think that it was proof of his strength, but for Takakawa, it was only a proof that he was a more special patient than them, but he was still only a serious patient.
Are you strong? No, he is just a patient, a weak person who is deeply infected with a terminal illness both physically and mentally, but cannot find a way to cure himself.
Gao Chuan is like this, looking at everyone around him with equal eyes, and feels deeply sad for everyone, including himself.
Kill the Doomsday Shinrikyo, kill the Nazis, kill the recalcitrant believers, kill the spiritually inhumane evildoers...... Takakawa has killed a lot of people, "Takakawa" has also died I don't know how many times, Takakawa is somewhat tired, if the birth of a new personality is just a constant repetition of experiments and failures, then, no matter how many times the personality is reconstructed, it will only make the despair accumulate more and more heavily.
In Takakawa's life, the proportion of happiness occupies only a very small share of all emotions, and most of them are concentrated in the "first encounter with the mysterious". Before this dividing line, ordinary happiness was normal, natural, and almost every normal person would get pleasure. After the dividing line, it was a little exciting at first, but soon tragic things would hit him, making him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire, and only the fact that "his loved ones are still alive, still living in a stable environment, doing what he wants to do" can give him some comfort.
However, these people he loved were able to give him solace so that he would not feel that "the world, including himself, is hopeless", and the people who sat back and watched the end come sat in this mysterious church, encountering strange and ominous things. Takakawa was angry, but even so, he could still feel the sadness that this anger could not hide—these murderers, these people who felt they were doing the right thing, people who were doing terrible things with a stubborn and terrible will, were themselves just victims.
The perpetrator's side will eventually die, and the victim's side will not be redeemed from beginning to end. Is there anything more grieving and angry than knowing this?
This kind of grief and anger is not directed at these people at all. The part that Gao Chuan has integrated can't squeeze out a single tear at all. The cold data flows through his brain and hardware, delivering the most sane answers to the native brain, and the palest things that are only about combat, and not about emotion and philosophy, are presented on the retina screen in numbers, patterns, curves, and gibberish. The world he saw was so cold, and the world inside him was tumbling like magma.
The out-of-place singing and the sound of music boxes in the church are irritating, the people who listen quietly are even more eccentric, the whole building is restored to its original state, and the darkness of the outside world seems to speak of a deep and lonely despair. Gao Chuan watched all this, then ignored all this, and strode towards the bulletin table with KY3000PRO.
The singer is a woman with burgundy hair reminiscent of "madness", a body as fat as a wine barrel, her voice is not unpleasant, but it is not very moving, and her melody is so entangled with the melody of the music box that it only makes people want to close her mouth. But Takakawa wasn't going to target her, all he wanted was the music box, it had been like that from the beginning, after taking the music box, no, including in the process of getting the music box, he was ready to deal with any trouble that might arise.
If the cultists here don't do anything, then Takakawa will directly take the music box and take away the people who are camping - with the whisperers as the center, and many people sitting on the benches in the middle row, how many people are campers, Takakawa doesn't know, but as long as the situation allows, he can take everyone away and screen them one by one.
There are only two questions: first, whether there is anyone to stop it. Second, how to get out of the church and return to the normal world.
Takakawa, with the experience and intuition unique to a mysterious expert, has already made a judgment: go and take away the music box, and the process and result will give him an answer.
Killing everyone is always just a strategy, just like in Europe and the United States, he killed so many Nazis. Even if there was no enemy, it was true that many people were saved from the Nazis, but Takakawa knew very well that his actions were just to let the rescued survive, and how many people died after he left the battlefield?
The Third World War, from the very beginning, would not have been a turning point of "how many Nazis Takakawa killed". Judging from the results, the weight of him, a "world hero", is actually very low.
If the "virus" cannot be stopped, then the end of the world is inevitable, regardless of how much effort and effort it has put in by mysterious organizations and national governments. And if you want to stop the "virus", you must first find the "virus" - Gao Chuan has always been very clear, this is the core of his own actions, and the rest is just side things, and with the help of these side things to find the clues of the "virus", this is the work of the color center and Super Dorothy.
Assuming that the mysterious event encountered by "Takakawa" was not accidental from the beginning, but inevitable, and there was a deep connection in the dark, then, can we find this connection and find the "virus" along the way? This is the simplest explanation for the combination of "Takakawa, Tie Se, and Dorothy", a series of actions that seem to have nothing to do with the "virus", but are only entangled in the various contradictions in the apocalyptic fantasy. But in fact, Gao Chuan himself is very aware of how complicated the whole process is, extracting samples, observing data, determining formulas, finding out possibilities, and finally grasping that flash of aura, and finding out the fragmented approximation of something without a trace, and how long it will take and how much price it will take.
The most basic price is that if the color system does not become the color center, if Dorothy does not become a super Dorothy, if Takakawa is not a special patient, then such a heavy and ambiguous work cannot be carried out from the beginning.
Even in the apocalyptic fantasy, there are things that the color center and Super Dorothy can't observe, such as the monsters in the collective subconscious of human beings, such as the goth girl of the New Century Gospel, but "Takakawa" is the best entry point, and things that have never been seen before and are half-understood will be presented on and around Takakawa.
As it is now, it would be a great material for the color system and Dorothy: it involves the deepest night, it involves the copying of the new century, it involves another pathological phenomenon, the effect of radiation from the victim to more people in the vicinity, including Takakawa, and the potential impact on the apocalyptic situation of the entire apocalyptic fantasyland.
The hard prosthetic body can adapt to a more devastating environment, and the highly efficient brain and hardware record everything faithfully, and then parse and transmit it in an inexplicable way, which is the original intention of the installation on Takakawa.
Takakawa itself is the best observation tool.
He observes everything, with his own eyes, his body, his own mind, to all the victims and perpetrators. He stared fearlessly at the obese woman singing, and as if he had taken something of his own, he reached for the music box. The moment his fingertips touched the music box, the singer let out a high-pitched pitch, and the air rippled, and the diffuse force shattered and splashed the windows on all sides. At the same time, the believers in the two rows of seats on the left and right behind them also sang in a deep and deep voice that normal people could not understand, and the tones, melodies, and words were told one by one, the story of an indescribable anomalous existence—even if it was not understood, it could be directly felt, that it was telling this story, as if telling an epic, as if praising the evil gods, as if issuing a confession, as if punishing oneself and the whole world, as if guiding the unseen and incomparably grand thing to come to the world.
That's—
"The King of Horrors? Or Anglo? Gao Chuan thought of these two names when he heard their singing, but for him, it was no mistake to replace these two names with "virus" and "jiang". It is precisely because the doomsday prophecy circulating in the apocalyptic fantasy has the names of these two core characters, and in the apocalypse he encounters, "virus" and "river" also have the essential horror that nothing else has. That's why the two are associated together.
The events that have befallen him, including the song that the little girl sang not long ago, also seem to hint at the traces of this disconnection.
The mysterious power unleashed by the singer could not do any harm to the prosthetic, and the harmony of the other cultists could not make Takakawa feel the familiar horror. Takakawa's hand grabbed the music box and gently closed the lid, so the melody of the music box stopped. The melody of the singing that reverberates in the church becomes simple, and before the inevitable ensuing situation occurs, Takakawa has already launched a rush to bring the whisperer's Sakiya, Hakkei, Shirai, and Morino to the church door.
It takes less than a second to take two people with you at a time, and it takes less than a second to bring four people back and forth, but, as if it had been calculated, when Takakawa wanted to turn back again and bring more people with him, the mutation had already happened. The group of people sitting in the middle twisted into the inhuman form of a huge head in front of his eyes, and the human body and limbs became the shape of an octopus-like tentacle, and the huge head, which had neither eyes nor nose, only what looked like an oral organ wriggled and squirted blue liquid, and then they also began to make sounds.
The high-pitched solos of the singers, the muffled harmonies of the cultists, and the melody of the mutant's inhuman organs, which is absolutely audible to humans, are intertwined in the church, grotesque and sacred, and Takakawa's experience and intuition make him not think that this is a ritual that can be terminated by killing them. From the very beginning, everything has been calculated, and the reaction of his side has naturally been fully calculated - when he went to the Doomsday Shinrikyo Sect, Gao Chuan had never seen their plans completely derailed, even if his own side, including the Internet Ball, also had high-IQ characters and prophets, they could not completely destroy their plans.
However, most of the rituals that Takakawa has seen are bloody and full of sacrifices for the dead, and the current rituals that make full use of "sound" and "melody" are unique, but in terms of the effect that Takakawa himself feels, what will be born in the end will definitely not be inferior to those bloody rituals. On the premise of assuming that these people are all New Century Gospels, Takakawa deeply felt that there was another aspect of the difference between the New Century Gospel and the Doomsday Shinrikyo under the leadership of the Mar Jones family.
But whether it is a bloody killing, a sacrifice of the dead, or a grotesque and sacred song, whatever the form, the result is still the same.
No one could stop it, it was as if it was a terrifying and strange coming.
The church bells rang nine times, and then stopped, along with the singing of the congregationals. The whole church was completely plunged into a sense of foreboding about what was brewing. Takakawa and the four of the whisperers were standing at the door of the church, even Takakawa didn't know what would be outside the door, maybe it would be an exit, maybe it would be endless darkness, he thought that as long as he confirmed that the four of them were safe for the time being, he could stay here for a while, maybe he could find out the clues of the answer, and then leave after confirmation, and there might be unexpected danger when he opened the door rashly - but when all the sounds stopped, when Takakawa was about to make a move, the church door was knocked from the outside.
