1165 Student Council
Dr. Nguyen Le is worried that my "marriage partner" is an "invisible friend" that is common in psychiatric cases, especially since yesterday, when there have been frequent scenes of vandalism in my home, and the drugs used to treat me are no longer so effective. This concern is clearly written on her face, and in my time with Dr. Nguyen Li, she rarely hides the problem of her illness with words like "everything will get better". In her opinion, my situation must be very bad, and she is so outspoken.
Rather than making "bad friends", Dr. Nguyen Li prefers that I have made "invisible friends", and this attitude is not expressed without any ambiguity when talking to me. Dr. Nguyen Le doesn't trust me very much because I am a mental patient, which is something I know very well and Dr. Nguyen Le repeatedly emphasis. However, although I felt that my condition was different from her understanding, her love was irresistible.
"If you want to prove something, let them stay." Dr. Nguyen Li threw down this sentence and went out to work. I could only shrug my shoulders and start my day. Ruan Li and Ba Jing will still come over at noon, and I have already analyzed the information they brought yesterday for three rounds, and I feel that I can't make any more progress. So, until they brought in new information, I had nothing to do during the day.
I went back to my room and used the remaining materials to craft and improve my equipment, and it would be nice if I could get my hands on a firearm, but the weapons I got from the mercenaries during the toilet talk were all gone after returning to the world of repeaters. There's certainly a lot to explore, though. I don't know much about repeaters, the available information. There is no reason for this, so homemade equipment is still the top priority at the moment.
Just as I was concentrating on my work, the doorbell suddenly rang, and someone pushed the door in—not from the renovation company, and the silhouettes of two young men came to mind during the observation of the chain judgment.
"Takakawa-san, are you at home?" The voice that had been heard once sounded. The person who came was the student president who was ordinary in appearance and temperament, but was at the top of the student union. And a stern and old-fashioned face.,It's like a vice president with a face.。
I was a little surprised by the arrival of the two of them, but then I felt that their arrival was not so surprising. I made some deals with the student council in exchange for information in order to solve the toilet problem, and although it didn't help me much in hindsight, it wasn't without help, at least. Let me know that in this city, there is still a group of social people who are closely related to this school and have begun to come into contact with the "mystery". In terms of resources, manpower, and experience, those who have become "graduates" of society have become people. They all have an advantage over the student union, and the only thing that prevents them from taking more drastic measures is that this school is their alma mater. And the unspoken rules of the alma mater's inheritance are still so that students will face these "graduates". It will not be retreated again and again. After all, although already graduated. Moreover, it has also made achievements in the society and formed a huge network of interests, but in this network, although the student union is at the bottom, it also occupies a very important weight and belongs to part of the foundation of the entire network.
Although I don't know exactly how big it is, since they can hire foreign mercenaries into the campus, it means that this interest group has considerable weight, both at home and abroad. If I hadn't made a deal with the Student Council, the relevant information would only be known to me after I further developed and promoted in the Student Council.
In the monitoring information of Sakuya and Hachikei, the conflict between the student council and people outside the school has become more and more intense in the week since I disappeared, and the student council has already fallen behind. I've been in contact with the student council before, and I know that this kind of development is completely expected by the student council, and some of the transactions between us will naturally involve this part of the situation. To put it simply, I had to come up with something that would allow the student union to withstand the pressure and give the student union some initiative. There is no doubt that the meaning of the student council's words is naturally the "mystery" involved in the toilet weird talk - not to mention how those people outside the school perceive these "mysteries", as far as I know, the student council actually does not know what "mystery" is, and the weirdness of things can make people think about it, but in the modern society where science is popular, there are very few people who will really believe in the existence of "mystery", even if those "mysteries" appear in front of them in a frightening form.
The attitude of the student council towards the toilet talk is generally that it is an unknown that science has not yet set foot in, and that it is a new continent that can promote the development of science. If these unknowns are dissected and clarified through the scientific method, the benefits obtained are enormous. In this sense, in fact, there is not much difference between the student union and the people outside the school, but if the student union cannot obtain a certain initiative, the subsequent interests will naturally be swallowed up by the people outside the school, and in the entire interest network, the evaluation of the current student union will also be reduced.
The goal of the student council is not to defeat the opponent, in fact, it is impossible to defeat such a strong opponent, and besides, the opponent is not an enemy at all in the long run. All the student council has to do is to show its courage and means in the confrontation, and prove to everyone that the members of this student council are real talents.
From this point of view, in fact, in this incident, the student council has done a good job, but we, who seem to be ordinary student council presidents, are not such easy people to dismiss. In the information conveyed by Sakuya and Hakkei, the struggle of the student council president undoubtedly expresses his desire to go further. I think he sensed some kind of indescribable change that was taking place in the city, and from another angle, realized that the "mystery" was spreading. Of course, perhaps, he did not know that what caused this change was "mysterious", not "scientific unknown".
The two seem to be the same, but they are actually completely different things. "The unknown of science" contains the meaning of "it will be understood in the future", while the meaning of "mysterious" is the conceptual difference of "it is impossible to know from beginning to end". It makes a lot of things meaningless.
I don't want the school to be "mysteriously interfered with", but. The results will not be shifted by my wishes. I've been trying to prevent students from actually coming into contact with the mystery, and I've also thought about the implications of the spread of the mystery. The strategy has been further adjusted. However, there is a deeper inside story behind the birth of the electronic demon summoning system and the nightmare, and I realize that it is impossible for me to stop this inside story from advancing the world. Not to mention the way the electronic demon summoning system will spread, just a nightmare is already impossible to stop. It's impossible to keep everyone from sleeping, this kind of invasion at the level of consciousness is almost incomprehensible. Moreover, once this nightmare is driven by the power of the repeater, then it will be difficult for the natives in this repeater world to have the power to resist. Even I, an outsider, and an outsider who has been stripped of the electro-demon, am I still trapped in a nightmare?
Using my situation as a criterion, it is enough to prove how powerful the forces that plan this world are. Perhaps "Jiang" can fight against this strong. But it is clear that it is not intended to confront at all, otherwise, I would not have fallen into a nightmare. The current situation. On the surface, it seems that there are several mysterious forces fighting each other, but in the mainland, everyone is working together to promote this change. Trying to get an opportunity out of this change. My will alone is too weak in this troubled water.
I don't have many options. Now, students will come to the door. It means that they intend to intervene in the changes in the city with a tougher attitude, and I may reject them for the time being, but what is the use of doing so when it is impossible to curb the "mysterious" diffusion channel? The emergence of mysterious forces will break the existing social operation system, here is not like the outside world, "mysterious" has become a part of the entire social operation system, in this world, "mysterious" is an emerging, full of aggressive factors.
Once a new factor permeates a well-functioning system, it will inevitably bring about a violent chain reaction that will cause great upheaval until the whole system has digested it and incorporated it into its own part. And this process takes a lot of time, even if it is carried out in the most gentle way, and there will definitely be no lack of violence and chaos. What's more, the speed at which the mystery of this world is increasing is already predictable, will be very drastic, and it is likely that it will rise in level again before people get used to it. People will face wave after wave until the end comes, and in this case, the coping strategies I had expected in the past have become pale and naïve.
It is very difficult to protect this city and ensure its stability, and it is probably more difficult than you can imagine. Especially when people are accustomed to protecting themselves with the criterion of collectivism, the power of the minority, even if it is indisputably strong, will have a limit, and this limit arises from the ideological level, and at this time, trying to use the power of the minority to protect the interests of the majority will evolve into the dictatorial tyranny in the perception of others.
Yes, many times, although the initiator of the action has good intentions, but his actions are reflected in the minds of others, he will become a terrible beast, and then the whole process will slide into an even worse abyss, and become a monster that the initiator cannot imagine. This is a fact that has been proven by history, and I have no doubt that if I try to use my own power to force the whole city, I will become the target of public criticism. But if I hadn't, the city would have undoubtedly been plunged into great turmoil, and more people would have suffered—and if you were to ask why I was so sure of this outcome, the answer was simple: it was intuition, and I never ignored my instincts, which is what it takes to be a mystical expert.
If you only use intuition as the criterion and judge the future on your own, you will be a self-righteous madman in the eyes of others.
Only I know that although I am mentally ill, I am not a self-righteous madman. The world I see, the way from which I observe the whole world, is very different from the "normal people" here, and I have to believe that I am right. If even I start to doubt myself, isn't my life a joke?
My life, of course, is not a joke.
So, I had to think of a better way, for example, to bring together the power of whisperers, student council, and people outside the school.
"Ever heard of the Electronic Demon Summoner?" I asked the student council and vice president after they were seated.
“…… You mean, the monsters you unleashed while dealing with those mercenaries? "The student council president didn't seem to expect me to be so straightforward. After a moment of silence, he went straight to the point. The vice president's gaze also became sharper than usual. I'm not surprised. Why students would know about the Night Raven Quark at the time. The week I was missing was enough for the student council and people outside the school to learn from the mercenaries what had happened. They might not have taken this information seriously without the effects of the toilet incident, but it is clear that they had already speculated about some mysterious circumstances before I solved the toilet incident, and my actions and the remnants of the scene would further support these suspicions.
Maybe the students don't know that the first force I used to solve the toilet weird story was the "electronic demon". Well, now they can relate. I don't know if the wreckage of the destroyed Dead Soldiers was taken away or turned into a gray mist and completely disintegrated, but many of the Dead Soldiers are very similar to the Electro Demon, which does not prevent me from putting all the situations on the core of the "Electro Demon".
"The city is changing, and the electronic demon summoning system is the key to those changes." I said, "Have you ever played a video game?" It's like a game that unfolds in reality. There are both protagonists who get electronic demons, ordinary villagers, and corresponding monsters. ”
"Is it the one who gets the Electro Demon who is the main character?" The student council president's tone seemed to be asking himself, "I always feel that this city has become ridiculous." ”
"It's hard for you to imagine. How fast it will spread. I reminded him, "That's not a channel through which humans can control it." ”
"You're trying to say that there are monsters hidden in our society that we didn't know all along?" The vice president stared at me with blazing eyes.
I think. She didn't mean it as deeply as I thought, but. Even the unintentional words that even she didn't want to believe were indeed right by her. There are indeed terrible monsters. Hidden in all people, a qiē is caused by them, and it will not end until they decide to end.
"Vice President, if you don't believe the information I gave, why did you come here?" I said, "Time will tell." However, I don't think there will be much time left by the time everything is proven. I'd better prepare now, even if you don't believe the information I've provided. ”
"No, I believe you, Takakawa-san." When the student council president said this, there was no superfluous emotion, as if he was saying something that was taken for granted: "Can you tell more about the situation of this electronic demon summoning program?" ”
I went back to my room, took out the sorted data disk, and handed it to the two of them.
"Everything I can answer is in it." I said, "More drastic changes are coming, and I don't want the city to be too turbulent, so I'm going to work it out in my own way and let us know if the students have any ideas." ”
"We?" The vice president emphasized.
"Yes, we, Whisperers." I handed the two of them the business cards that Sakiya and Hakkei had customized during the week, with a pattern of "listening" to the action and an email address, "We are professionals. ”
The student council president didn't show any doubt, but the vice president looked at me with a light and dark gaze, making me feel as if she was seeing me for the first time. I don't care, because I know very well that what I show is too much beyond the identity conditions of "Gao Chuan" in this world. It's just an honor student in school, even if he comes into contact with the electronic demon one step ahead of others, it's still naïve, just like the difference between me who first came into contact with the "mystery" in the past and me now.
The student dossier of "Gao Chuan" has never been classified in the student union, I am the adopted son of Dr. Ruan Li, and my past resume should be in this file, and even the matter of "Gao Chuan is a mentally ill person" will be known by the student union through various connections. In order to ensure that I can have a normal student life, Dr. Nguyen Le tried his best to block my information, but this does not mean that the huge network behind the student union can be escaped, in order to ensure the quality of diagnosis and treatment, it is impossible for Dr. Nguyen Le to solve all the problems alone, and it is necessary to communicate with experts at home and abroad through some connections. This also means that the mental state of "Gao Chuan" is not completely secret.
Dr. Nguyen Le has said that when a mentally ill person is ill, what he says is not trustworthy. Presumably, the student union will also get the "truth" that "Takakawa had a psychotic episode and was placed under house arrest at home", so it is quite interesting to see if they really trust me and why they want to get information from me at this time.
However, as I said before, time will prove and I will be right.
The student council president and vice president left, and they didn't say much about the "whisperers", and as for what they would do with that business card, it wasn't something I cared about. Giving a business card is just an expression of attitude, wanting to connect with the "whisperer", and of course not just using an email address.
I put the visit behind me and went on with my work, however, at about eleven o'clock, the doorbell rang again, this time it was someone from the renovation company. When I went to open the door, two employees in canvas overalls were inspecting the broken lock, which Dr. Nguyen Le had modified, so if it was damaged, it was not something that any locksmith could fix. The renovation company notified by Dr. Nguyen Li is naturally not an ordinary industry company, and I don't know the details of this company, but judging from Dr. Nguyen Li's words, the company has some background in transnational violence agencies.
The employees who come to the maintenance are not good at words, they keep their faces straight and silent, and, in addition to completing their work, they will have a "don't bother" feeling about any superfluous things, even if it is a glass of water for them. In a sense, this is the portrayal of "impersonal", for most customers, this blunt attitude is undoubtedly a flaw in the level of service, but it is precisely because they are not doing "ordinary decoration work", not "ordinary decoration workers", so they cannot be viewed by the standards of ordinary service personnel.
Two employees, one to solve the problem with the door, and the other without consulting me, went into the bedroom to solve the problem with the window. Of course, I have to monitor them, because, although the work permit seems to be fine, in reality, even if there is a problem, I can't see it. If they had come with a different purpose, I wouldn't have been polite to them. In a world where there is a doomsday Shinrikyo religion, every company involved in "door-to-door service" is dangerous, I remember that the "Goat Guild", a subordinate organization of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Cult, likes to use the identity of "courier" and "moving company" as a cover, even in this repeater world, the Doomsday Shinrikyo is not as strong as the outside world, but, since my electronic summoning program was handed over to Carmen by John Bull, it means that my location is no longer a secret to the Doomsday Shinrikyo, and further, It's no longer a secret to anyone in the circle who follows me.
If those people want to do something in the city, they naturally have to consider my attitude and, before they do those things, they will do something against me. I have always been stingy and malicious in my attitude towards all the people who come from home services. It's like the two people in front of you.
"There's no way to fix the window today." The employee in charge of the windows said to me, "The cement is cracked and needs to be repaired." His tone was very flat, but when he looked at it, he seemed to question what kind of situation caused the destruction of this Cheng Dù.
I myself was surprised that I didn't feel like I had hit that window so hard at the time of the fight.
"The door lock is fine, it will be done in ten minutes." The employee in charge of the front gate said, "But can you tell me what you used to break it?" It is impossible for a thief's tool to do this. ”
Of course I won't sue him, but Tomie twisted it hard. (To be continued......)
