2099 The current situation of the prosthetic Takagawa
Many "Takakawa" died, more precisely, many things that looked like "Takakawa" died, however, these things were not exactly "Takakawa" - it was a terrible nightmare, there was no beginning, there was no process, and "death" did not look like an end, a whole bunch of corpses were piled up somewhere, where it was cramped, cold, terrifying, as if some kind of huge presence of inhumanity was hidden. "Death" seems to be brought about by this huge existence, but in essence, it is not just that, but has a more profound and complex reason, as if these "Gao Chuan" must die, even if they have done many "right" things, but their existence itself is a "mistake", a "distorted" means to be carried out under a "distorted" purpose.
However, for the unknown existence hidden in the darkness and does not know its form and mode of existence, the so-called "correctness" and "distortion" of human beings are meaningless, and they are only meaningful to human beings and human society, and cannot be applied to such beings. From a human point of view, using a human perspective and thinking, trying to understand "monsters" is simply useless behavior - human beings sometimes pull pigs and dogs to the perspective of humans, to feel their pain, understand their life and death, and use human eyes to give them the meaning of life, however, in that darkness, human beings are not even as good as pigs and dogs. This is not a description, but an objective fact.
If we regard ourselves as human beings, then, in this nightmare, we will personally feel the uncertainty and meaninglessness of our own existence, as if the self-aware individual is nothing more than the most objective, thoughtless atom and electron, a natural embodiment of the laws of matter, energy, and motion, and all the consciousness that human beings regard as "self-existence" is just an illusion given to itself.
There is no one, no thought, no morality, no social structure, no ego, there are only objective laws, everything is just an insignificant part of that never-ending movement.
Prosthetic Takagawa only felt that his soul was bound by some invisible shackles, he could see and feel a lot of information, but he could not make the actions he thought was necessary, he was indeed in motion, but he was embedded in a larger movement, which he was powerless to shake, and when he felt the huge movement system, he only felt that it was so complex and extremely chaotic, but in the chaos there was its inevitability. It's not man-made chaos, it's natural.
He saw many corpses of "himself", or rather, he could feel the connection with himself from the corpses of "Takakawa", although the connection was so one-sided and weak, and the faces of those corpses were not exactly the same as his own. Yes, even if there is such and such a difference, big or small, it can still make the prosthetic body Takakawa have a strange and vague feeling when he sees the general outline of the corpse, that is, "Takakawa", that is his own feeling.
The self-perception that these corpses gave him was so strange, and the information he felt after his death was so terrifying. He could only vaguely see the faces of the corpses, as if there was some kind of force, or perhaps his own instinct, to keep himself from seeing the faces of those corpses, but even so, he knew that the faces of those corpses must be terrible, because their death was so terrible, and everything that made him fearful was like pigment that remained on these corpses, inside these corpses, and in the depths of some area that had some connection with these corpses.
It's not the first time that the prosthetic Gao Chuan has seen his own body, and in his cognition, it's not the first time that the self of "Gao Chuan" has died. However, such a large-scale, institutionalized death is the first time we have seen it. In the past, Takakawa's personality was like a reincarnation, the former died, and the latter was born, but the appearance of these corpses seemed to indicate that some kind of change had occurred, and he did not know exactly what the change.
Prosthetic Takakawa just couldn't help but think: If this time, his Takakawa personality dies, along with the personality of the young Takakawa, then will the new Takakawa personality be born as in the past? Maybe not, no, it should be said, his feelings were so strong that he felt like he wouldn't. This time the failure, this time the death, will be complete, because there are some situations in the hospital reality, and "Gao Chuan" has no new chances.
Prosthetic Takagawa felt that the nightmare in front of him was a symbol of some terrible changes in the reality of the hospital. In a sense, it foreshadows something, not just what you feel and think, but more, deeper, more terrifying, more desperate and crazy.
However, he is not good at interpreting dreams, and it is useless to interpret them with known human theories, and besides, there is no completely correct theory for human interpretation of nightmares.
Seeing these corpses, Prosthetic Takakawa can't help but recall his nightmare in another mental hospital in the apocalyptic vision, the nightmare about the tower, the hunter, and the ritual. At that time, there were still many occult organizations that fought against Shinrikyo Doomsday, and many occult experts were vigorous in their efforts to participate in and address the signs of the apocalypse. And those things, whether they seem to be actual or relative dream hallucinations, can always be related to some factors of the reality of the hospital - look, even Dr. Nguyen Li has been involved and become a victim.
Even so, even if so many sacrifices were made, it did not bring about a real turnaround at all. In other words, all the sacrifices and deaths that occur in mysterious events, as well as the strong will that accompany them, make people feel that even if the past is not good, there is a chance to change for the better in the future, but now, everything they have experienced proves that it is just an illusion.
Things will get better, it's just an illusion, and things will only change in a worse direction than you even know you know about itโso desperate.
Humanity is powerless in the face of such a catastrophe-like upheaval, as if humanity is being removed according to a plan in a huge program.
Prosthetic Takakawa stayed in this nightmare, embracing and enduring the thinking and torture that all this brought him, if he could stop thinking, probably it wouldn't be so painful, however, thinking was the only thing he could do. In this nightmare, he can neither act according to the individual's wishes, nor touch or change anything. The mess of information was like dust kicked up by the wind, and he seemed to be blinded.
All nightmares don't give people a good feeling, and the nightmare that Prosthetic Takakawa sees at this moment makes him feel his own powerlessness and a deeper sense of urgency in time.
Takakawa just quietly stares at this passage that he doesn't know where it leads, imagining the entire facility space from this passage, guessing the people and things that exist here, and examining what kind of state he is in here. The air was dead silent, as if there was no flow and no sound could travel through the air, and in this silence he gradually felt that he was detaching himself from the perception of the nightmare, with a sense of "rising", but not knowing where he was going. Then, he felt it, and he was flowing.
It was an obscure sense of fluidity, like a mass of liquid, and at the same time a part of a huge liquid. At the same time, it is as if he is a fish, swimming in these liquids. Takakawa even had a sense of smell and hearing, but his sense of smell could not tell what he was smelling, and his sense of hearing could not tell what he was hearing.
If necessary, he wants to stand on a higher angle and look down at himself now, maybe then he can understand what kind of state he is in. However, he couldn't do it, it wasn't something he could do if he wanted to, even if it was in his dreams.
Even so, the prosthetic Gao Chuan still couldn't help but guess that everything he perceived was his posture in the LCL state - the ending of "Gao Chuan" was no different from other patients with doomsday syndrome, even if the process seemed to be a little special, but in the end, it was just an LCL that turned into an LCL and merged with the LCL liquid that other patients with doomsday syndrome turned into.
This cruel fact has more than once made him doubt his own existence, which is more like an instinct than an active situation.
However, there will never be a clear answer to all questions, and even if you give a clear statement, you can feel that there are more huge factors behind this statement, and the statement you get is just a small part of the ultimate answer. And all the thinking will not lead to a happy final conclusion.
In such a confused and frightened mood, the prosthetic Takagawa stood quietly in place until a feeling of "I was about to wake up" rose from his heart.
Then, the prosthetic Takakawa woke up. The not-so-unfamiliar ceiling was imprinted in his pupils, and he only felt like a fish back in the water, and he was able to catch his breath again.
I don't know how many times this nightmare experience has passed, and although Prosthetic Takakawa still feels uncomfortable, he will not be surprised. When he opened his eyes, he simply got out of bed as usual, groomed, checked his prosthetic condition, and walked out of the room with his weapon in hand. Six hours had passed since he had brought him back, and the long time he had not slept had made him feel that "all the tiredness in his heart had been eliminated and his whole being was refreshed", and nightmares still haunted him, trying to make him understand more of what was going on against him.
From an ordinary point of view, this place is a temporary base, but to be recognized from an unusual point of view, it can only be said that it is in the body of "Sha" - the "Sha" that has not been seen for a long time has changed from an ordinary aboriginal researcher of the ruling bureau into a huge monster with ambiguous material boundaries, a conscious temporary data hedging space, and the predecessor of all repeaters, "Valpurgis Night". Even so, it is still very difficult to understand the ins and outs of this situation and the process of transformation from "human" to "non-human", and even the brain and hardware of the prosthetic body Takakawa cannot handle it.
Even so, "Sha" has become a powerful help, which is worth affirming. Prosthetic Takakawa does not have any prejudice against inhuman survival postures, and he himself is no longer a human being in the normal sense. All the plans were being implemented, both good and bad, but none of the good results he knew seemed to be outweighed by the bad ones. The worst-case scenario is that the London Repeater, which was previously relied upon as its backing, is so bad that it is kicked out of the collective human subconscious by the Doomsday Repeater, just as the London Repeater did with the Nazi lunar repeater not long ago. Today, the two repeaters have to go head-to-head on a physical level, and many of the predictions that had been made have come to naught have been lost.
The frontal attack and defense will not make the prosthetic Takakawa fearful, but it also means that no matter whether he wins or loses, his side will suffer a lot of losses, and then lose the initiative to fight against the Doomsday Shinrikyo repeater. In the past, Cyberball thought that its side had not completely lost the initiative, but now, who knows?
Among all the bad news, the only thing that is more comforting is the power of the build-up on his side: a repeater, the night of Valpurgis, the predecessor of the repeater, and a man-made fortress that could theoretically compete with the repeater. Assembling three behemoths that are comparable in size to Nazi repeaters, even if the current Nazis still have the support of physical lives, it will not make people feel that they cannot be defeated.
Even so, the assessment of losses after the start of the war is still not to be taken lightly. So far, there has been no head-to-head battle, and the Nazi soldiers and the mass-produced security guards of the Valpurgis Night "Sha" have spread the battlefield to almost the entire ruins of the Ruling Bureau, and the number of people being strangled on the battlefield every minute and every second is in the tens of millions, making one wonder where the resources used to expand the army come from and under what circumstances they will be depleted. Before that, the Nazi repeaters did not seem to have the intention of attacking - although the Nazis obviously had the characteristics of apocalyptic truth, and fanned the flames everywhere, as if they wanted to destroy the world, but if only Nazi soldiers were used, they could not destroy the world, they had to do something more extreme from a more macroscopic or microscopic perspective, so that the devastating result would be widespread in the world, just like the young Takakawa destroyed 99% of human consciousness with the collision of two repeaters.
Judging only from the scale and the degree of results, all these wars caused by the Nazis were not as out of line as what the young Takakawa did, nor were they as devastating.
