John Bull didn't keep me waiting, and within fifteen minutes of my sitting, she pushed the door open. My Demonic Ripple Super and Chain Judgment can still be used in the bar, which is also the reason why I have been promoted to the fourth level of Demonic Emringer, but I can't judge who is stronger or weaker in this modified Ghost Nightmare and Marceau's watch shop. Regarding the matter of the fourth-level demon pattern messenger, I informed John Niu as soon as possible, and as I expected, the attitude of the other side was finally no longer so blunt in terms of information exchange.

"What you want." John Bull sat down on the bar chair next to him, throwing the disk containing the electronic demon summoner on the table like garbage. Although she also uses electronic demons, she doesn't have a good impression of this kind of dark mystery, and her attitude is also the mainstream attitude in the NOG team. Changing the way you use your mysteries doesn't seem like a big deal, and mystical experts have the ability to adjust themselves in a short period of time according to the actual situation, but having to change the way they use mysteries is an irritating situation. This situation of having to do something in itself means that you are in danger of being in a desperate situation.

The occult experts are very sensitive to the oppression of the anomalous environment, and for the time being, they will not be able to relax their minds. No matter how much it develops, you won't feel safe until you really find a mysterious way to use yourself normally. It is true that the animatronic demon is a mysterious force that reflects its own characteristics, but the problem is that the source and carrier of this mysterious power is not based on themselves, but on the mechanism of this repeater, and even on the tactics of the Nazis. All invaders who have transformed into electronic demon messengers can still show their powerful side, but. On the other hand, the foundation of this strength has begun to loosen.

Personally, I think that the electronic demon "Night Raven Quark" in the past is quite useful, and in the absence of a way, I can only rely on this mystery to face the toilet monster. I had conceived of the origin of the Electro Demon at the time. And the danger hidden behind this mystery, but in the end, it is still the oppression of the environment that makes one's decision. However, accepting the electronic demon does not eliminate this pressure, and the silent but pervasive sense of oppression, although it no longer poses a direct danger, is like a noose that is constantly tightening, so, after Night Raven Quark was killed by Mae. I easily accepted this fact.

I'm sure there are no more occult experts who feel the same way as me, and accepting the Electro Demon is like quenching their thirst by drinking a donkey. John Bull's garbage-throwing attitude wasn't directed at me, but at the disk that encapsulated the electronic demon summoning system. But even if you don't like it anymore, the electronic demon summoning system is still a "resource" for the NOG team. It's not worthless, it's in the transaction. So you can't give it away for nothing. I had to put in a lot of intelligence resources to get it—a product that was deeply parsed by the occult experts, tried to be modified, and became a somewhat different product from the original electronic demon summoning system.

John Bull is not optimistic about this experimental product, because no one has tested it, and the effect it brings may be good. Maybe it's worse, and as far as she knows, there's still more chance of getting worse. She had advised me beforehand that if I traded the electronic demon summoning system with them, I would only get this kind of test. However, in my opinion, it's more valuable because it's not exactly the same as the original electronic demon summoning system. Applying for this kind of thing from NOG, naturally, I have long been ready to become the object of the real yàn, however, the real yàn body is a female teacher and a female foreman, although the two are included in the whisperers, but in fact, they have been eroded by the mysterious seed, and this has not changed.

In my opinion, if they are allowed to approach the "mystery" in a more secure way, then there is a 90% chance that their future will fall into the established track. Preparing them for this kind of unstable dìng, full of surprises, is more likely to make their situation better. Of course, it could have been worse, but in any case, being a member of the Doomsday Shinrikyo or the Nazis is not in line with my aesthetics.

I need to observe the effects of the Mystic Seed on the Electrodemonic Emissary, but that doesn't mean I'll watch the two of them go to the other side.

"Didn't you say you wanted two?" I asked, tucking the disk into my pocket.

"We've tweaked it a bit—" John Bull paused, "perhaps to say 'on' more accurately, the program itself already has a switch that works for multiple entities, but the original program is all closed. In fact, the program itself can copy out subroutines, which is the embodiment of this switch. It took a lot of effort for us to figure out the trick. ”

"In other words, this program is not a one-time application, but can be used by multiple users at the same time?" I thought about it and asked.

"Yes, what you have in your hands can make two people become electronic demon messengers at the same time, as for what will happen after doing this, they want you to test." John Bull said: "I can't go into too much detail, but this information is not top secret. She looked at me meaningfully, filled with the smell of copper, peculiar to merchants. However, I immediately declined the deal because I didn't really care how special the program was, I just had to know that it was unusual.

"Are the people of District 51 still burying the face of black smoke?" I asked.

"Of course, for them, this is the best breeding ground for cultivating the face of black smoke that they have found so far." John Bull said, "Moreover, there are many people on our side who feel that if those shadows are left unattended, they will sooner or later breed weirdness, and using them to cultivate the face of black smoke is also a way to transform the enemy's power into their own strength." ”

"But I don't think the people of District 51 can control the face of black smoke." I said, "We don't know what the nature of those shadows is, and the smoky faces that have been cultivated with them may have been eroded from within. ”

"It's a possibility, but even if we stop it, the people of Area 51 will turn the face of black smoke into a fait accompli." John Bull shrugged, "Since it's impossible to really stop their private movements, then." It is also a good way to put it on the table and use strict regulations to control it. I dare say that if it weren't for the inclusion of the Black Smoke Face in the plan, the people in District 51 would have been even more brazen than they are now. ”

"Is that good? I was kicked out of the team. Are the people of District 51 safe and sound? I took a sip of soda, and John Bull poured himself half a glass of liquor and snorted in one gulp. Even though it was a nightmare, many of the sensations were still very real, and the power of alcohol was so subtle that John Bull's facial features wrinkled, as if he was overwhelmed by alcohol, and he slowly exhaled for a while.

"The people in District 51 are more team players than you." John Bull gave me a blank look and said, "Their attitude and means. All of them are tolerated by the internal competition mechanism of the team. It's not like you, a guy who would do something to the whole team because of his personal thoughts. ”

"Well, I'm sorry." I didn't argue because John Bull wasn't wrong, and what I was doing was really bad for the team led by the Rivets. And it's because of my actions. It caused many losses that the team should not have, and caused the death of many mysterious experts who should have survived. I already knew. Even if many of the mysterious experts in this team come from all over the world and have never worked together before, this does not mean that they do not have a sense of teamwork. The guy who can cause accidental damage to the whole team is always the most annoying guy. I'm such an obnoxious guy in those people's minds. If it weren't for the danger of having to deal with the stress of repeater traps and Nazi plots, there would have been a lot of people who would have jumped out to give me a good look.

But if it weren't for the circumstances, I wouldn't have had to do things that would have made people angry.

"Are the people of District 51 also involved in this adjustment of the procedure?" I'm naturally referring to the electronic demon summoner that I just put in my pocket.

"Of course. So, I can't guarantee that there won't be any traps in there. John Bull smiled at me, like he was grimacing.

"Well, it's not for me anyway, I hope that what I am not sure about can really bring surprises." I didn't get angry about it, since I did something like that, so that the two sides didn't get along very well, I should be prepared to be targeted. However, it is precisely because of the credibility of Cyberball that I will continue to cooperate with NOG. NOG has just been integrated, and it is very normal for there to be different voices and ideas inside, however, the cyber ball, as the strongest core, will not let this trend of infighting expand to harm NOG itself. If I trade with them as a fourth-level demonic emissary, they must have some concerns, and even if it is revenge for my previous actions, it will not make this revenge irreparable.

It was sent by John Bull, and she must have confirmed it again and again before handing it over to me. If there are any tricks in the program that even she can't check, then she can only consider herself unlucky.

"How many smoky faces did you make?" I turned the conversation back to Smoky Face.

"A lot, and relevant information can also be traded." John Bull smiled, "Personally, I prefer the information of the mysterious seed in your hands. However, the people of District 51 would have liked to hear more about Father Edward. ”

"They're so urgent, sooner or later they'll get in touch with Father Edward." As I said this, John Bull quietly turned his glass and took another sip of it. I think she understands what I mean, Area 51 and the Doomsday Shinrikyo have not always been in confrontation in the past, and the various achievements achieved by Area 51 in the occult realm would have taken at least several times more effort without the help of the Doomsday Shinrikyo. Although it is not certain that the two sides were able to tie up in this way when the Cyberball was also involved in the monitoring, it now appears that Father Edward played a hidden but rather important role in it.

The "Trojan Virus" that created the Black Smoke Face has too many similarities with the Mystic Seed in terms of characteristics, and after the information of Father Edward and the Mystic Seed appeared, the NOG team was influenced by the people of Area 51, and they were particularly hungry for the information of both, which was also a worrying thing. Caring too much about Father Edward is an abnormality, and there are many examples that prove that this kind of attachment is more likely to distort the will. Although Father Edward's whereabouts are unknown, his existence has begun to interfere with the NOG team.

"It's okay." After a moment of silence, John Bull said meaningfully, "NOG has anticipated and countered any unexpected situation that would affect the operation, although in order to avoid causing a larger chain reaction, it is not possible for everyone in the team to know the details. But when it happens, the result will only be a force that pushes us to victory. ”

"Like Cyberball used to do?" I say.

"Yes, it's like cyberballs used to." John Bull clinked glasses with my soda, "We've never failed. So it was, so it is, and so it will be in the future. ”

"Actually, you've failed." I calmly replied that there was no shortage of failures in the Cyberball, both in this apocalyptic fantasy and in an earlier apocalyptic fantasy, although there had never been a complete defeat in the true sense of the word. It is precisely because of the impact of the failure on the netball. It has never been as deep as imagined, so it seems that the cyberball has never failed, but has developed rapidly.

Perhaps, Cyberball's definition of "failure" is different from my definition of "failure".

"No, we haven't failed." John Bull's eyes became serious, and he said to me word by word: "If there is anything to prove that we have failed, it can only be the destruction of the world." ”

I couldn't help but laugh. Because, in a sense. The world has indeed been ruined, and it has been more than once. However, I did not continue to dwell on this issue, John Bull's confidence in Cyberball comes from the clarity and insistence on his own responsibility. Cyberball members possess such qualities. And I really appreciate that quality.

"Let's talk about something else." I said, "I've heard you say before that you're confirming the relationship between people in this world and people in the outside world?" ”

"Yes." John Bull followed the topic and said: "You have also discovered that the situation where we appear here is not an inexplicable stuff into this world with people who do not exist in the first place. It's more like we're here in the first place. Replaced by us from the outside world. So, what will happen to those who have not been replaced, our acquaintances, in this era of mysterious diffusion? Will they perpetuate a more similar fate, or, with a little change, become a mediocre person who dies without knowing anything? If we recruit them in advance, can we raise them to be familiar to us? Speaking of this, she was a little silent, as if she was brewing a topic that was not easy to say, and only after a while, did she say to me: "Mr. Takakawa, although you have established a whisperer here, and you are associated with Miss Sakiya and others, just like another Mr. Takakawa, we all know that that Takakawa is the real Takakawa." So, what exactly are you? What is the relationship with Mr. Takakawa? Why can it replace the identity of Takakawa in this world? ”

I looked at her, and her gaze didn't waver, just staring straight at me. I thought about it for a while, and said to her seriously: "Maybe in your eyes, my way of appearing is very peculiar, and in the body of another Gao Chuan, I have also found an unusual factor, but I can only tell you that I am also Gao Chuan. ”

"Are you his split personality?" Although it was a questioning tone, it was an affirmative tone. John Bull said to me with the same serious expression.

"It's not just about personality." I replied, I know that this statement is true, but I don't know how complicated it is. My current situation of existence involves "Jiang", and all situations involving "Jiang" are almost incomprehensible.

"It turns out that Gao Chuan, you don't understand it yourself? It's disappointing. John Bull said.

"I don't think you can be so blunt." I say.

"We've found some big names in the industry." John Bull gets back to the point and talks about the results of the NOG team's search these days. She said in great detail, this is not something that needs to be "traded" in NOG's judgment, and it is not necessary to trade to obtain information, one possibility is that its value is very low, and the other possibility is that its value cannot be calculated simply like goods. My relationship with NOG is picking up, and we have a basis for cooperation, and John Bull will never hide some information that is deemed to be extremely important and must be known to both parties. It would have been a bit of a trick to be a different contact, but John Bull wouldn't have done that. I believe in John Bull, and some people may think that in theory I shouldn't trust anyone, but I don't act on reason, I make decisions based on my feelings.

I listened quietly to John Bull's stories of those who had not been involved in the invasion, but who had also existed in this world of repeaters - the Cyberballs, the Mercenary Guild, the Torchlight, etc., the well-known people in the occult circles, who were watched and guided according to the actual situation. These people have been facing a world without mystery in the past, their lives are as ordinary as ordinary people, and most people are not necessarily superior to others in their thoughts and actions, as if their light needs to be "mysterious" to bloom. However, no one can be sure that once they come into contact with the Electro Demon, they will actually continue to stand by their side in a transcendent manner, as they are familiar with.

No one can be sure that the will of the same people who lived and grew up in another environment has changed, and in their observations, these people are different from them in many ways, including their backgrounds, circumstances, thoughts, and behaviors. It is even possible that there are some differences in appearance. It's like Sakiya, Hakkei, and Marceau in this repeater world also have their own characteristics. I understand NOG's concerns, after all, Marceau is a real example. However, from the level of the collective subconscious, these differences are like the personalities of the same person split in different situations, but they all reflect their subconscious side, even if their personalities, ideas and appearances are different, but there must be something that is the same, like a logo, so that they get the same name, and it does not make people feel that they are two completely different people.

Some occult experts are interested in this situation, believing that it must contain the secrets of this repeater world. I agree, of course, but I don't think they have enough time to see through the secrets.

John Bull told me that only a small percentage of the people who were found and monitored by the NOG had passed the conservative test and re-engaged as members of the NOG, but even if they had regained their mystery, their expressions were not exactly what had been originally envisaged. Of course, this is not to say that they don't look good, it's just that the NOG people may have thought at first that they should be able to show the traits of the people they are familiar with, but the results are somewhat surprising, and judging from the situation of the electro demons, their traits have indeed changed.

"It's hard to say if they're still them." John Bull's statement was a little subtle, but I could understand it, and then, firmly, retorted: "No, they are still them." "Because, Sakuya is Sakuya, Eight Scenes is Eight Scenes, Marceau is Marceau, and it will not change the essence of their existence because of what kind of environment they grow up in, and what kind of character and traits are born from it.

John Bull looked surprised, as if he hadn't expected that I would answer so firmly.

"Have you ever looked for an acquaintance of your own?" John Bull asked, and immediately replied with self-deprecation, "That's right." You are the one who acted as the same Takakawa and reorganized the Whisperers...... Maybe not people? She asked, looking at me.

"Not people." I said, "But it's not identity theft. ”

John Bull did not press any further, but changed his tone and said, "We have not found the Prophet Misfire and Mayne Prophet, and we have not found them by all means, as if they did not exist in this world at all." ”

This may sound like a startling situation at first, but I thought, "Maybe it's the role of the London repeater." ”

"We have that idea too." John Bull said.

There is more than one repeater, and the interference between each other through the deep layers of the collective subconscious is the basis for the establishment of the battle. Targeted protection of some of the operational personality consciousness in this apocalyptic illusion should also be something that the repeater should be able to do, if it weren't for that, its core spiritual integration device would not be something even "Jiang" wanted. Its efficacy must also be like the name "spiritual unity". (To be continued......)
