From the perspective of "closer to human", Nazi soldiers undoubtedly have structures that closely resemble human bodies, and even use scientific instruments to examine their bodies, and their genes and cells are more than 98% similar to humans. However, even though Nazi soldiers seem closer to humans, their thoughts, behaviors, and abilities are still very different from "human" in the common sense of the word.

If you were to make a rigorous report on how Nazi soldiers differed from humans, and the specific factors that led to those differences, it would probably fill a library. Although the difference from normal human body is less than 2 percent, this difference of 2 percent is enough to form a qualitative change in ecology and performance.

I'm familiar enough with the security guards, in the past Doomsday Fantasy, they were called dead soldiers, and in this Doomsday Fantasy, they are different models and images according to their performance and usefulness, but no matter how these superficial things and titles change, their essence is not much different. In the past Doomsday Fantasy, they were a mortal danger to all mystical experts, and in the current Doomsday Fantasy, they are still a mortal threat to mystical experts whose abilities have been greatly improved.

They have lost some of their aura of mystery compared to the past, but even recognizing them as "part of the Authority's security system" does not change their mystery. Until now, whether it is the Doomsday Shinrikyo or the Cyber Sphere, any mysterious organization from normal human society has not been able to restore the manufacture of these security guards, which is enough to explain their mystery. I think that the familiarity of all occult experts, including me, with them is only superficial, from their ever-increasing number - people who meet regularly can be called acquaintances, but, in many cases, no one can know the secrets of acquaintances.

The so-called "familiarity" is nothing more than an illusion. This illusion is even stronger when placed on the security guard, and once led by the nose by this illusion, death is a foreseeable end.

Nazi soldiers who seem normal but are actually abnormal.

A security guard that looks familiar but is actually unfamiliar.

When a huge war is fought between the two on the same battlefield, it is difficult to judge in advance which side has the upper hand. At least, as far as I could see, the battle was extremely scorching. Neither side has any fear of "death", and for them, the meaning of "death" must be completely different from that of normal humans. They ignore their own deaths, and they ignore the deaths of their companions, giving the impression that there is no noble reason or noble purpose for their fighting—whether they think about this war or not, they give the impression that they are simply fighting for the sake of war.

In my feelings, any battle that takes place on this battlefield has no human sense at all, not for survival, but also not for the pursuit of death, and does not have a clear and pure meaning. If I want to describe it, I think that this grand war is more like an existing phenomenon, a background that exists simply to set off something.

Dying on this battlefield is like disappearing in the background before you have even stepped to the front of the stage.

Any life that dies here is like a corpse lying outside the set in a movie, which is not even qualified to be taken into the camera - here, except for the self to recognize the meaning of its own existence, there is no other third-party observation that can give meaning to its own existence. Obviously, this battlefield is noisy and extremely dangerous, but while I continue to be injured and keep advancing, I feel little by little the silence and emptiness hidden behind the sounds, phenomena and death.

This battlefield is neither bloody, nor cruel, nor sensual, but more like an objective phenomenon in operation, like a storm, like a heavy rain, like everything rushing to grow in spring, and like everything is silent in winter. It only exists here, and people can give it any meaning, but it doesn't have anything special in itself, it takes shape as a matter of course, expands, and gives people a premonition that the end is nearer, just like seeing the dusk leaves and thinking that autumn is approaching.

Yes, everything is so in order, as it becomes, but in this nature, which is difficult to express in words, one feels that all human beings, including ourselves, will perish in this naturalness, as if we ourselves were part of this predetermined sequence of death. It's as if our struggles and rebellions are themselves part of this process of death. It is as if what we subjectively perceive as struggles and acts of resistance are objectively, a natural movement towards death.

I slashed, I galloped, I was knocked down countless times, and I stood up countless times, and in this cycle I seemed to hear a voice from heaven, which from the darkness, in the place that seemed far away, and seemed close to me, it told me a vague and cruel future, and made me feel that all the things I had done in the past were contrary to my original purpose—to save people, but only to speed up the pace of grief; wanted to fight against that tragic fate, but only accelerated the tragic life; wants to reverse someone's fate, but is only speeding up the other party's established fate.

Yes, I know what I heard, and this is the "doomsday truth", which every occult expert must feel, and the reason why he turned his back on his past position and joined the cult of Doomsday Shinrikyo. I have felt the doomsday truth more than once, heard the doomsday truth more than once, and I have become more and more familiar with the doomsday truth, just as even if I subjectively deny that I am heading towards the doomsday truth, it is difficult to refute that my actions are essentially heading towards the doomsday truth - perhaps not actively, but there must be an irresistible passivity, if the doomsday truth is described as a huge planet, then I seem to be being distorted by the huge gravitational pull of this planet, slowly falling into it.

I felt a little numb in my body, waving my arms, running and dodging all the time, didn't make me feel much use, I was hurt all the time, but I never died, like, even if I stood quietly, I would only get hurt, not die, however, a strong instinct made it impossible for me to stand still, and I really tested this feeling like this. Although I am fighting, I also think that I am fighting for myself, for doing the right thing, but I also have a feeling that my fighting, my seemingly combative movement, is like a new cog, engaged with the other gears in this battlefield. My movement, the movement of the Nazi soldiers, the movement of the security guards, may be subjectively different, but objectively they are merging into a vast autonomous machine.

When I feel this way, all the memories and experiences from the past come together and in a complex way, produce a clear answer in my mind: it's a ritual.

This battlefield itself is a sacrifice ritual that the Doomsday Shinrikyo has been planning for a long time! All the people and non-people who initiate and are involved in this battlefield are part of this super-giant sacrificial ritual, and our own actions have nothing to do with our subjective ritual, but objectively it is the driving force of this sacrificial ritual - I was struck by the answer that came to my mind.

Because, if this idea really fits the facts, then this sacrificial ritual is probably the grandest and most thorough sacrificial ritual that the Doomsday Shinrikyo has launched since many doomsday illusions. Its scale, sophistication, and preparation completely surpassed the Torchlight's deviation ritual, and the Doomsday Shinrikyo that broke into the deviation ritual was probably also acting to cover up the sacrifice ritual, or to try to include the "deviation ritual" itself in the sacrificial ritual sequence.

It's just that I also have some doubts after such thoughts. Can the unique meaning of "deviation" be accommodated by the sacrificial ritual of apocalyptic truth? It is true that from my own understanding of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Religion, I do not think that it constitutes a sacrificial ritual of this scale that is surprising, and my shock is only because I personally feel the vastness of this sacrificial ritual, but the terrifying and indescribable existence that I feel in the deviation ritual is enough to shake the basic cognition of the apocalyptic illusion. In terms of feelings alone, I don't think that such thing is part of the "virus" or a manifestation of the influence of the "virus" on people with doomsday syndrome. Compared with the theoretically possible "monster in the collective subconscious of human beings", it is not like a script with a "virus" as the main body, but more like something outside the script is forcefully inserted into the existing script, thus expanding the original script into a script with a larger background and world view.

In the previous understanding, all the actions of the Doomsday Shinrikyo in the ruins of the Ruling Bureau were to summon the "monster of the collective human subconscious", and the sacrificial ritual with this goal as the main body, even if it used the Nazis as its branch, to sacrifice the terrible battlefield torrent in front of them, should not have the capacity to incorporate the "deviant ritual" into it.

The horror implied by the ritual of deviation is not at all an order of magnitude with the target of the Doomsday Shinrikyo sacrifice ritual, the "monster of the collective human subconscious". From this point of view, it should be the force of "deviation" that acts on the sacrificial rites of the Doomsday Shinrikyo cult, causing the sacrificial rites to produce unpredictable malignant changes that are not expected by the Shinrikyo of the Doomsday Shinrikyo.

I walked past a crowd of Nazi soldiers, killing all the enemies in this ephemeral pathway before the invisible highway shattered. In terms of physical strength alone, these Nazi soldiers were far inferior to the security guards. I know very well which enemies I am capable of facing. I began to realize that I was beginning to be able to adapt to the intensity of this battlefield, "there will always be some mysterious phenomenon that will act on me, causing me pain and injury, but so far, it has not produced an instant death effect" - taking this comprehensive result as the basis of judgment, I can feel that the intensity of this battlefield has not continued to rise.

I could still feel the threat of death at any moment, but when it hadn't happened for a long time, the threat was still there, but it didn't feel as turbulent as it had been at the beginning.

This battlefield is becoming flat, wounding and killing the enemy, killing the enemy while taking damage, the cycle is becoming extremely stable, and this feeling of stability and calmness is explained when I have the idea that "this battlefield itself is part of the sacrifice ritual of the Doomsday Shinrikyo." Yes, this is the most prominent expression of the sacrificial ritual: it is always stable, gentle, develops in an established direction, and is difficult to interrupt, like a machine that does not stop when it operates, but does not suddenly reduce or increase its efficiency.

When I was able to realize these things, and I was able to use what I was aware of to produce a self-consistent explanation, my tense emotions and thoughts began to have a spare. It's like repetitive mechanical work that doesn't require much brain power. I was like a part of this huge machine, and I felt that what I was doing to this machine was all about: to injure and kill the enemy. And this function is not special and core in the whole machine, there are more similar parts, working like this, producing the same effect all the time. The role I played in this battlefield was not to change the work of the machine, nor did it actually change my own functionality, rather, in this machine, all my characteristics are destined to produce such functionality. My thoughts can change my behavior, however, the operation of this machine is modifying my thoughts and thus influencing my behavior.

As long as I still feel this battlefield, I can't stop the impact of this battlefield on me, and if I don't think about anything, my own behavior will be driven by the operation of this battlefield itself after losing the impetus of my subjective consciousness. My consciousness is not completely independent, nor is it strong enough to influence the entire battlefield from a conscious level.

Then, I further realized that only the influence of the scale of "Repeater" and "Three Immortal Islands" can have real influence on this battlefield. If Jiang is still here, then I can probably become a part of the actual influence, but when Jiang is hidden, all I can do is become the part of the force that promotes the sacrifice ritual of Shinrikyo in this battlefield.

The things that I had previously felt confused were explained one by one, at least in my logic, and in the process, I gradually had a clearer idea, and I was gradually able to feel the new laws of development that followed those things that might have been deviated after the "deviation ritual". Those frustrating and disappointing situations, after a logical and self-consistent analysis, are no longer so confusing and do not know what to do. I feel that if I can see the current situation so clearly and consistently, I should regain my strength. I think the most important thing is no longer how to save one's life on this battlefield, because whether or not one can save one's life on this battlefield is no longer subjectively decided, on the contrary, let oneself get out of that pessimistic and desperate mood, which is what one can do and should do.

Before, there were no conditions, however, now, the conditions are met.

So, while mechanically coping with this battlefield of stable intensity, I began to re-observe my own personality consciousness.
