The change of "ghosts" is clearly visible on the television screen, from a form that cannot be observed by ordinary people to an image that is more in line with the negative senses of human beings, as if they are transformed into an image that the observer himself fears at the moment of observation—I guess so, because the "ghosts" that were originally only distorted in human form have become more vivid, and their images are not consistent with each other. The three psychology experts who disagreed with the Dallas research plan should have left sooner, no, even if they had left earlier, it would have been difficult for them to survive before they got out of the range of the "ghost". They were already full of fear of Dallas, and they should have expected Dallas to make a move, and perhaps, they just felt that it was the right choice to stay until the end.

In any case, they are powerless in the face of the "ghosts". Judging from their panicked appearance, it should be the first time they have come into contact with the mystery so closely, and the reason why they are not said to be the first time they have come into contact with the mystery is precisely because one of the psychologists called out the name "electronic demon", but he himself is not an electronic demon messenger, and can only constrict in panic. Although the images of the "ghosts" are different, the three of them die in the same way from the outside. They clutch their chests so hard that they are reminiscent of a heart attack, the "ghosts" wrap their hands around their necks, and the intimate movements bring the breath of death, and the viewer cannot imagine the beautiful image of guò at all.

Immediately following the sound of the pop falling to the ground, the faces of the psychologists turned purple, their bodies curled, and their deaths were full of pain and suffocation. Dallas was not surprised by this, and before he could make any moves, the three "ghosts" turned into three clouds of smoke and flew into his shadows. He sensed something again, and looked around at the deserted surroundings. Casting your eyes on the camera is like looking at us through a TV screen.

I don't think he really saw us, though. I guess it's just a hazy feeling of being peeked at from this direction. Snowflakes and ripples suddenly appeared on the television screen showing him, and after a second, the image disappeared. By the time it was restored, only an empty conference room remained, and Dallas was nowhere to be found.

"Do you feel it? Ryder. "When Apricot encounters this scene, she has a little more spirit and seems to have discovered something.

"Well, it's a lot like a ghost nightmare." Ryder said that the NOG team didn't put much effort into the name, and continued to use my name for the electronic demon system.

"What's going on?" I'm not quite sure what they mean, of course. There's still some imagination. Dallas's disappearance just now doesn't seem to be just the power of the electronic demon.

"How so?" Kyoko and Ryder glanced at each other, and finally said thoughtfully, "Mr. Takakawa also knows that the electronic demon, the ghost nightmare, and the nightmare Las Vegas are different manifestations of the mystery of the same system. After our research, we found that these three types of mysteries are not progressive, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior in a certain degree, but only differences in the ability scale. For the average electronic demon messenger. The only one who can control zhì is the electronic demon. However, if it's a specific electro-demon messenger. Ghost nightmares are a matter of course. Even, the organic combination of electronic demons and ghost nightmares to form a more complete realm, whether it is the reality of this world or the nightmare Las Vegas, can have a deep impact. It's hard to describe, but it's mostly there. The electronic demon messenger himself has control over this realm, and other hostile people have entered this realm on the suppressive nature. ”

"We call it an inherent barrier." Ryder said.

Although the two of them did not want to or could not describe this mysterious phenomenon in detail for various reasons, it was like a feeling of "secrecy" or "indescribable in words". But actually, it didn't bother me with the mysterious phenomenon of cognition. I already knew what they were talking about in Marceau, and the term "inherent enchantment" was by no means the first to come from their mouths. The mystery of the river that is lost and does not know whether it is alive or dead, but I don't want to be sure of it, is named "Inherent Enchantment-Self-Cage". As described by Apricot and Ryder, the inherent enchantment creates a special temporary hedge space, and the user has a strong ability to control the temporary hedge space, and the characteristics reflect the user's own characteristics, including but not limited to the heart, thoughts, cognition, and emotions. The process of forming a temporary hedging space is an interference with the so-called "reality". To recognize such a phenomenon simply from the concept of "hedging of numbers", which is more scientific but actually belongs to the concept of "mystery", is to treat the various factors that constitute reality as ready-made numbers, and then use the "mystery" to form new numbers and impact on the numbers that constitute "reality", so as to achieve the purpose of distorting or destroying the structure of numbers, and then produce a series of mysterious phenomena.

The hedge of the number jù formed by the mysterious number jù and the real number jù cannot last under normal circumstances, which is the so-called "temporary number jù hedge". It's just that sometimes this hedging time is extended due to certain factors, so that it looks like it lasts forever. For example, the Ruling Bureau, the Doomsday Shinrikyo Holy Land, the Night of Valpurgis and the World of the Repeater, in fact, these four are in the same vein, but, in theory, there is no real "permanent number hedge".

If the Night of Valpurgis is regarded as the predecessor of the Repeater World, and the Ruling Bureau and the Holy Land are seen as the result of the development of the Repeater World - it is only an inference based on the available information, and in fact, perhaps there is no such linear causal relationship as Zài, and I have never been conclusive about the "mysterious" - then the inherent enchantment can also be likened to a shrunken version of the Night of Valpurgis, which is far inferior to the latter in terms of duration, area, and mystery, but it is true that in some respects, Similar characteristics are embodied.

I had not experienced the night of Valpurgis, but the other me, the other Takagawa, had experienced it, and that feeling was in my mind, and from the feeling came a great deal of information, like a vague memory, that allowed me to know how powerful and mysterious the night of Valpurgis really was. The deepest impression is that the night of Valpurgis is likely to have zài intellect, individuality, and even can be regarded as a kind of living temporary number jù hedging space, and if you look at the inherent enchantment of Egawa himself, if you look at it together, when it forms an inherent enchantment. Isn't it just a kind of "storage zài wisdom, individuality, living temporary number jù hedging space?"

Before Egawa, I hadn't seen the Inherent Enchantment, but after her, in this repeater world. I finally heard the name again, and I came across a similar mystery. According to Kyoko and Ryder, the inherent enchantment derived from the electronic demon system is a form that organically combines the electronic demon and the ghost nightmare, and sums up the characteristics of the electronic demon and the ghost nightmare that I know, the two do have the possibility of organic combination, and the inference of the characteristics after their combination is indeed in line with the concept of "inherent enchantment".

"Nightmares erode reality. Do you share a nightmare with self-nightmares? "The former, like the interference of the inherent barrier with reality, and the latter, which is embodied by Marceau's watch shop, is the obvious interference with the nightmare Las Vegas. Inferred from Marceau's situation, as well as the arrival of other electronic demon messengers in Nightmare Las Vegas, the generation of an inherent enchantment is almost the inevitable stage of development of electronic demon messengers. Other words. Although, the current research on the "inherent enchantment" is still in the stage of secrecy. However, even if they don't do research, as long as the electronic demon messenger can reach Nightmare Las Vegas and travel for a long time, they will inevitably discover such power on their own in frequent interactions with Ghost Nightmare and Nightmare Las Vegas.

So. Theoretically, all Electro Demon Messengers can become specific Electro Demon Messengers, it's just a matter of time. And the specific electronic demon messengers that have been discovered so far are only when they were born. Because of various factors, I have taken a step earlier, and, judging from the information I have obtained, I am afraid that the price of taking this kind of early step is an extremely heavy price for normal people, including but not limited to social, personality, will, and physiology.

Extrapolating from this conclusion, people with extraordinary knowledge, as well as people with mental problems, have the highest probability of becoming specific electronic demon messengers. I think that's probably one of the reasons why the current trend of mystification, including NOG and Dallas, and other organizations and individuals that I don't know about, is increasingly looking at the mentally ill.

"That's right, nightmares erode reality." Kyoko didn't explain more, but simply said to me: "The series of effects caused by Dallas just now should have been led by him by unfolding the inherent barrier in the conference room." ”

"Can you tell when to unfold?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, my monitoring hasn't gotten to that point." Kyoko shrugged her shoulders and said with little interest, "After I switched to the electronic demon system, I haven't developed to the level of the inherent enchantment, and I probably won't reach this step in the future." ”

"Why?" I don't believe it at all, because she can't do it. Apricot is also a mysterious expert, in the intelligence, she is still a quite genius demon pattern messenger, when she was at the second level, she had already awakened her super power in advance, her perception of mystery, and her cognition of self-characteristics are not comparable to the aborigines of this repeater world. If she doesn't, the only possibility is that she doesn't want to do so - there are too many doubts and vigilances in the electronic demon system, and the inherent enchantments that derive from it, even if they are powerful, are difficult to recognize by us occult experts. And what I want to know is not these, but what hidden dangers the apricot perceives in the inherent enchantment.

"The animatronic demon is the embodiment of a personal trait, and the ghost nightmare is also the embodiment of a personal trait, however, neither can fully reflect the personal trait when taken out alone." Apricot Zi's eyes lit up slightly, "The inherent enchantment formed by the organic combination of the two seems to fully reflect the personal characteristics, but this process of separation and integration cannot be smooth sailing." ”

"That is, in the process, there is bound to be something to lose, or something to change." Ryder said: "The trait is not a toy, it can be taken apart casually, and when you put it together, it is still the same as it was." It is complex, full of regularity, like a series of fixed numbers, and each number, where each number is located, has its own inevitable meaning. As far as we can see, the formation of inherent enchantments is more like rudely shuffling up a series of numbers and crumpling them together to allow them to be organically combined. Even, in the process of combining, whether or not something that does not belong to oneself is not added because of the rough and chaotic process, and it cannot be explored, after it has completed the union. It's even more difficult to discern. ”

"Transforming into an electronic demon system is a risky act." Apricot pursed her lips and complained, "If it weren't for the mission, for the future of mankind, who would do such a stupid thing." ”

If ordinary people talk about "the future of mankind", they will definitely be regarded as a nonsense. However, although the word in the apricot mouth is not heavy, it is not frivolous, and it is full of practical significance. The occult experts recruited by the NOG, even if they have their own positions and ideas, and opposition and disagreement are inevitable, but their initial and fundamental are the most fundamental. In the end, the ultimate idea is still to protect his own world, for the future of all mankind, and to defeat evil parties like the Nazis and Shinrikyo Doomsday, so he participated in this life-and-death action. From the beginning, everyone knew that entering the Las Vegas repeater was equivalent to being cut off. No support, every step of the way. will be accompanied by death. Before the operation began, many people hesitated, flinched, and then were killed. did not waver, and went to the mysterious experts of cash. It is not a big statement to say that you are for all kinds of noble wishes, because if you don't have such thoughts, you just want to live. It is impossible to participate in this operation to get to this point.

However, even if we are mentally prepared to die at any time, there are still many things that we want to avoid - for example, the betrayal like mine, the failure and death that leads to zhì; Another example is the risk you take after mysteriously transforming yourself into an electronic demon system. However, both the former and the latter have the meaning of "having to do it even if they don't want to" for those who do it. And after doing that, I don't feel that it doesn't matter if I continue to do it.

I can face my betrayal and be willing to suffer the consequences, but that doesn't mean I can ignore the consequences that come with it. So I can also understand the idea of Kyoko and Ryder: although they have transformed into an electronic demon system, they are still unwilling to further accept the inherent enchantment.

The inherent enchantment of the electronic demon system is flawed, and it will have a certain effect on the personality, consciousness, and physiology of the electronic demon messenger himself, which is not a new situation to me. In other words, because of this, it is in line with my understanding of the electronic demon system. From Egawa's "Inherent Enchantment" to the "Innate Enchantment" of the Electronic Demon Emissary, the similarity once again makes me sure that although the Electronic Demon System seems to be the "technology" of some mysterious forces on the surface, in essence, it is more direct than the mystery such as the magic pattern, reflecting the existence of the "virus".

Because, since Jiangchuan's "inherent barrier" is the result of being eroded by "Jiang", isn't it natural that becoming an electronic demon messenger is a process of being eroded by a "virus"?

The reason why we people resist the electronic demon system, the reason why Mae destroyed my electronic demon, the reason why that monster appeared at the bottom of Nightmare Las Vegas, the reason why the Doomsday Shinrikyo wants to summon monsters in this repeater, and the mysterious spread of this Nazi repeater world is the reason why it is the "electronic demon system", which can also be explained by the above view.

This kind of situation where there is already zài is inevitably related. Because of this, it is inevitable that Apricot and Ryder have to transform into electronic demon messengers. In this world of repeaters, it is too difficult to bypass the electronic demon system and restore one's mystery to its original state. To be honest, now, looking back at the beginning, I also feel that if it weren't for the "Jiang" stored in my body, I probably wouldn't have been able to regain my identity as a demon pattern messenger.

And all those who still maintain their original mystery also have very high mystery hole cards, such as Father Edward.

Although the electronic demon system is speculated to have all kinds of suspicions, it has shown its unique, full of possibilities, and extremely systematic side as a mysterious power system. can be compared to the wizarding system of the Doomsday Shinrikyo and the magic pattern system of the Dominion. Just fusing the Electro Demon with the Ghost Nightmare creates an inherent enchantment, and the longer you become an Electro Demon Emissary, this change is natural. This potential is really full of temptation. For the aborigines, the flaws and doubts of the so-called electronic demon system are not enough to cover up the benefits of becoming an electronic demon messenger, so the study of the electronic demon system has been an inevitable result.

There must be a lot of people like Dallas in the entire repeater world. Dallas itself is not special, what is special is the ideas and actions he represents, and the general trend that he implies.

Dallas has already gone far in the electronic demon system, and if it weren't for Apricot's observation ability and NOG's long-term accumulated research data, it would probably be difficult to detect that he is actually an electronic demon messenger who has reached the inherent enchantment range. In view of the nightmare Las Vegas watch store's Three Marceau, Zuo Chuan's six doppelgangers, and Jiang Chuan's "inherent enchantment-self cage", the countless self-doppelgangers, the plural "ghosts" released by Dallas, are no longer so amazing.

In front of Apricot, a TV screen image always follows Dr. Nguyen Li. Dallas himself is ambitious, and his research plans are bound to be dangerous, but for psychologists willing to work with him, at least for now, it is safe. My only concern is whether Dr. Nguyen's peculiarities when he signed with Dallas will attract the attention of Dallas. I, Kyoko, and Ryder re-watched the images at that time afterwards and made sure that Dr. Ruan Li was indeed not "ghosted", as long as Dr. Ruan Li was no longer locked by Dallas in the first place, then Dallas wanted to use the "ghost" to interfere with Dr. Ruan Li, probably there was no way.

"Gao Chuan, are you really sure that this cheap mother of yours is really not an electronic demon messenger?" Kyoko asked thoughtfully.

“…… All I can say is that Dr. Nguyen Le is a staunch atheist, and I can't imagine what it would be like for her to become an electronic demon messenger. I replied, "I imagined her reaction when she encountered the mystery, but in reality, she didn't see the mystery at all, and this time the situation made me even more sure." ”

"Dr. Nguyen Le is mysterious." Ryder asserts, "And her mystery is the reason why she rejects other mysteries." ”

"Repulsion of mystery?" I can't help but think of the world as it is. In the present of the mysterious diffusion, it seems that Dr. Nguyen Li is the only one who is still living in the world of the past. As the scope of the mystery spreads larger and deeper, the particularity of Dr. Nguyen Li will become more prominent.

I had a bad premonition. I hope that Dr. Nguyen Li's meaning in this world of repeaters will not be what he thinks.

"Dr. Nguyen Li can still be observed, which also means that she is not completely unaffected by the mystery." Kyoko said, "However, it is possible that a direct and malicious influence like a ghost will be immune." Do you want to do something real to prove it? ”

"No, forget it." I refused.

"On the surface, however, it is the atheist's rejection of mystification, which is really in line with atheism, a phenomenon of nonsense." Ryder spat out unhappily. For many occultists, mystery is the source of their own calamity, but it is also a force to protect themselves, and it has become a natural part of life. The situation of "mysterious failure" is not something to be happy about for mystery experts.

If Dr. Nguyen Le can really avoid the mysterious invasion and ignore the mysterious existence, however, he cannot ignore the damage of firearms and sharp weapons. Her peculiarity does not change her vulnerability.

After Dr. Nguyen left the conference room, she went to a café where she met other friends — two psychologists with whom she was on a Dallas research program, but there were also other new faces, prospective collaborators and temporary new faces, all of whom kept the conversation in a friendly atmosphere. Not everyone knows the inside story of the seminar. From here on, Dr. Ruan Li's subsequent actions became normal, and he no longer came into contact with mystery. (To be continued......)
