1656 VV and W
Nor is it true to describe the object's proximity as "marching", because in the senses, the approach of the thing is not linear. Takakawa is well aware that the arrival of the strange is sometimes difficult to describe as "moving" or "spreading", in short, it is there, and then, suddenly, it passes through the distance that he thought he could not immediately cross, revealing a more realistic image in front of his eyes. This kind of image also tends to be similar to what is imagined, and also to what is mentioned in the occult, but every occultist knows that it is only a part of the intelligible form of similarity, and does not mean that the two are the same thing, and sometimes, even of a very different nature.
"Something!" The driver woke up suddenly, and he was very sharp, so sharp that he didn't look like an ordinary person. It took him less than a second to go from awakening to awakening.
"I don't know, but it seems that your prediction is not very accurate." Gao Chuan teased very calmly, and the driver swore a few hours ago that there would be no accident.
"Ah, what a hassle." The driver didn't look scared, just scratched his hair in annoyance: "I'm just an ordinary person, Mr. Takakawa should have a way to deal with that thing, right?" Whatever that thing is. ”
"You're calm." Takakawa said.
"Because whether I'm calm or not, it's not something I can do." The driver shrugged his shoulders and said: "As I said before, as long as you are lucky, then, no matter how dangerous you are, you can survive in the face of such a thing, but it is not determined by mental and physical quality." ”
Takakawa did not continue to speak, and the prosthetic body detected that the temperature inside the car was rising. Soon, even the driver noticed it, he checked the air conditioner, and there was no problem, but the temperature rose continuously, and soon the temperature was ten times higher than the scheduled temperature. At 22 degrees Celsius, the interior space of the car suddenly became a steamer, and the air became warm and stuffy, making it difficult to breathe, and the driver realized that this was not a normal phenomenon, but he was even more afraid to open the doors and windows.
"Damn it, damn it!" The driver desperately tried to turn off the air conditioner, but the controller seemed to be out of order, he pressed it violently, but the lights went out suddenly, and then the front window brush also swayed for no reason, these sudden changes made the driver a little overwhelmed, and his reaction proved that he was just an ordinary person. Gao Chuan saw him turn around with a look of help, so he said, "It's okay, the car hasn't exploded yet, has it?" ”
Gao Chuan's calm and indifferent aura calmed the driver's uneasiness, but his answer still made the other party complain: "Do you mean, the car is about to explode when the meeting comes?" ”
Before Gao Chuan could speak, he heard the radio coming from himself: "...... Picton ...... There are traces of Napoleon's defeat...... The town ...... "couldn't hear clearly, only a few words were staccato and hard to put together a sentence that could connect the upper and lower parts, and soon the radio seemed to lose its signal and only made a rustling sound."
The driver slapped the radio hard, but it didn't work, and the utensils that had been turned off moved on their own, but the utensils that had been turned on failed to work. He exhaled, only to feel that there was an irritability that made him want to get out of the car, but on the other hand, his caution told him that it was dangerous to get out of the car at this time, and that the concept of destiny that he had always adhered to made it impossible for him to think that things would end easily and that he would be properly protected when a mysterious expert was sitting in the car—nothing impossible, with a pessimistic view, maybe he would suffer misfortune if he got out of the car first, and of course, he could also encounter misfortune if he didn't get out of the car, and the odds were difficult to calculate here, Even if it was calculated, it wouldn't make him believe it.
He had nothing to do but slap and talk to vent the fear in his heart. He didn't have much fear at first, after all, he had traveled this road many times, even in the middle of the night, cars often passed by, and although the neighborhood looked like a wilderness, it was not his own car. However, as the number of anomalies in the car increased, it was as if someone was reminding him in his ear that he should be terrified.
"It's normal to feel fear at such times" - when such a thought, as if a voice whispered in his ear, he really felt fear, and it had nothing to do with whether he wanted to be afraid or not. In other words, he knew that he had not been afraid before, and he also understood that it was probably a bad thing to have fear at such a time, and he also had the determination and thought to stop fearing, but that fear still involuntarily grew from every cell of his body.
The driver seemed to forget that Takakawa was still around, and honked his horn a little hysterically. The sound wore a long way in the silent night, but no one came to watch, and several cars passed by the road in front of them in ten minutes, obviously their cars turned on their headlights, and they were still desperately honking their horns, but the passing cars just turned a blind eye, which made the driver feel a chill. He knew that it was not because of the other party's indifference, but because of a strange situation.
Is it because you can't see yourself, you can't hear sounds, or are those vehicles just weird parts? The driver thought to himself, and his arm stayed on the steering wheel after venting. At this time, the temperature in the car has exceeded 35 degrees, which is monitored by Gao Chuan's prosthesis, and the temperature is at this standard line, although it is still rising, but the speed has slowed down.
Gao Chuan remained silent, watching the driver seem to have forgotten himself, just struggling on his own. It's not that Takakawa doesn't want to help, it's just that every time a mysterious phenomenon appears, it is unlikely that he will be able to judge the situation based on past experience, and he knows very well that even if he can really do something, it is very difficult to judge "what he should do".
The biggest crisis in the car is nothing more than the rise in temperature, and the situation caused by the failure of those equipment, although it feels quite scary, cannot produce a real life-and-death crisis. Cascade has been observing situations that would cause vehicles to explode, but no signs of such a possibility have been observed yet. This also means that staying in the car and only needing to withstand the 35-degree heat for the time being is enough, but no one knows what will happen when you get out of the car.
The driver was afraid, it was evident, but the degree of fear could not kill him, and his sanity did not completely deprive him of his sanity. He's been frustrated by a mysterious phenomenon, so he's a little angry, what's so hard to understand? On the other hand, the impact of the mysterious time on the two at this time is nothing more.
What can make people lose their lives is definitely not the situation that has been experienced in the car at this time. So, Takakawa didn't do anything, didn't have to do anything, until that moment that would make people die came.
Takakawa was still observing the disembodied thing, which was probably the source of a series of strange situations, but neither the naked eye nor the chain judgment could describe its existence and movement, and Takakawa found a better way to assess the other party's movement than his own feelings, that is, the driver's emotional changes - the driver's fear did not rise all at once, there were many potential small movements, and described to Takakawa how this emotion accumulated little by little, and how it made people's movements slightly different from usual.
The driver's mood and behaviour change is like a buoy, a little bit of a sign of the thing's movement. Moreover, the accuracy of this buoy is so incredible that one has to wonder if it is actually coming towards the driver.
No matter who you're coming to, you won't be spared as long as you stay in this car.
Takakawa stared at the darkest night before dawn, and the hazy darkness seemed to begin to roll, as if the cream pigments were stirred in real cream, although the colors were similar, and they were well mixed together, but the difference in materials would make them separate in the mixing.
This level distinguishes between the natural nightfall and the unusual that blends into the night.
The driver gasped hard, and he stopped his futile struggle, but looked through the window at the place where the thing was—he couldn't see it, but he could feel it, it was there—it wasn't human, it wasn't humanoid, it wasn't a natural creature, and the feeling it produced stimulated the driver's memory, and it made him suddenly have an idea.
"It's a lot like ......," the driver muttered to himself.
"Like what?" Takakawa asked.
The driver naturally replied: "VV." ”
“VV?” Takakawa didn't quite understand.
"A term for witches, even in Australia, is rarely said to be the same anymore." The driver repeated "VV" once, saying, "It is written like the first letter W of a witch." When I was very young, there was a lot of this story, and then I realized that there was a real source in that story, that the W was the symbol VV before it officially became the letter, and in the witch culture that I heard about as a child, it meant hallucination. ”
"Hallucinations?" Takakawa said.
"No, it's not just an illusion. It's always like this: sometimes you see W, but it's VV, VV and W are sometimes the same, sometimes they have two meanings, some people see W, and some people see VV. The driver explained.
"One symbol refers to multiple meanings?" Takakawa asked.
"Not only that, how can I say it......" The driver frowned, he suddenly felt that his fear at this time was much less, perhaps in search of an explanation and diverted his attention from the strange thing, "When a person sees W as VV, or vice versa, it must be out of the other party's mental state and thoughts, he sees what he thinks, but that appearance is not necessarily the real appearance, just an illusion from himself, but since this illusion is out of itself, Of course, it will have an impact on the people who see it. ”
"So, do you think what we're encountering now is a witch, this thing or phenomenon called VV?" Takakawa continued to ask, "Were there similar legends in the past?" ”
"Same as now? No. The driver flatly denied it: "I'm just saying that it reminds me of VV, however, it shouldn't be VV." Maybe I was too impressed by the horror rumors I heard when I was a child, but I don't really remember those rumors, I was talking about witches. See what I mean? Mr. Takakawa. It reminds me of VV, but what exactly is it, that's up to you to explain, isn't it? You're the expert. ”
Takakawa smiled, and as the driver focused on explaining his words, the temperature detected by the prosthetic body had begun to drop, and the commotion artifacts had temporarily returned to normal. The driver's face and small movements have faded from the color of fear, and Takakawa feels that what the weirdness is is not the point, the point is that the driver thinks it is and can depict it to a certain extent from his own understanding.
He thought it was like a VV. It doesn't matter if it's VV or not, it's the meaning of the two structures that "he thinks" and "likes" that matters.
Mysterious phenomena are very strange, sometimes, a person tries to understand, will not form a real solution to the problem, and may even bring disaster, but sometimes it can also allow people to escape. There is no one who can define the dividing line, and therefore it is impossible to distinguish between the two and prevent them in advance, but they must be tested by practical actions in the circumstances of the time - just as now, the driver's actions are effective, so Takakawa allows his actions to continue to be effective until, perhaps, at some point, the effect suddenly disappears.
"Yes, I'm an expert, so tell me a little bit about VV." Takakawa decided that he couldn't just say to the driver, "You have to continue talking about this and divert your attention", because when he really consciously did it, it also meant that he was subconsciously thinking about the approaching weirdness in other ways, which might make the current effect useless.
"Do you really want to know?" The driver stared at Gao Chuan, he seemed to have forgotten the abnormality around him, Gao Chuan could see that he was very interested in "telling others the strange things he knew", this was not all of a sudden, he was such a person, so, Gao Chuan nodded very simply and said, "Let's change the position, I'll drive." ”
"Okay." The driver turned his head, he looked into the deep night, and in the place where the headlights were vaguely found, and it seemed that it was about to melt into the darkness, something was faintly present, reminding him that there was something abnormal here, and the more he stared, the more he was attracted to it, as if he wanted to find out.
"What's there?" Takakawa asked.
"One...... Stuff? Is that the thing? The driver said uncertainly. He felt that he had suddenly remembered why he was telling the story of VV, and wasn't it because just a few minutes ago he was still afraid of something. When he remembered it, that fear grew again. (To be continued.) )
