1645 Inhuman body
Gao Chuan couldn't locate his specific location, he only recognized that he was in the "inside", and it was impossible to determine which section of the "inside" was on the Three Immortals Island, or whether it was on the Three Immortals Island in the normal sense. This is because there is no clear reference for the judgment of this "interior" - Takakawa came here, not only in a strange way, but also because there is no particularly clear marker in the place where he is at this time.
It was a space that seemed to be shrouded in transparent glass, only about a hundred square meters in size - this volume was much smaller than the scale of the appearance of the Three Immortals Island that had been observed before - beyond the transparent layer was the yellow sea water, and countless arms flapped against the glass-like cover, they were so close that it seemed that the rest of the space except for this space surrounded by the transparent layer had been eroded by them, and on the other hand, Takakawa knew very well that this was impossible.
If this space is located in the "interior" of Sansenjima, then judging from the scenery in front of him, it can be concluded that Sansendao has been infiltrated by yellow water, leaving only this area of 100 square meters, but Takakawa's intuition is very different from this common sense.
The contradiction between his intuition and what he sees prevents Takakawa from fully understanding whether his situation is good or bad.
Moreover, he could do nothing but "recognize that he was in such a state and in such an environment." More precisely, there is nothing here for him to operate.
The upside-down Hangman Takakawa is suspended in mid-air, right in the center of this cube space with a cross-section of one hundred square meters. It is said to be "hanging upside down", but it is just a feeling of his, and there is also no clear reference and sense of gravity to correspond to the so-called up, down, left and right. If it weren't for the feeling that he was hanging upside down, then, in fact, he could consider himself upright.
Rather than the sudden emergence of the cognition of "hanging upside down" from his consciousness, it is more likely that the prosthetic body has come to a conclusion - not through the brain to judge, but the prosthetic body thinks so, and further describes this cognition, Takakawa feels as if there is an invisible but tangible source of information that instills information about this part of the cognition into the prosthesis.
It is not oneself that controls the prosthesis, but something else that cannot be seen. Gao Chuan subconsciously pursued this invisible but palpable thing, and felt that it must be incomparably huge, so huge that he was actually inside it, but he couldn't see it as a whole. Just like the poem of the Central Principality: Only because you are in this mountain, you don't know the true face of Lushan.
Gao Chuan believes that this incomparably large thing that has taken over the prosthetic body is the Three Immortals Island, and this recognition is also an important evidence that he believes that he is inside the Three Immortals Island.
Prosthetics are becoming part of the Three Immortals Island more deeply. Sixty percent of Takakawa's body has been prostheticized, and at this rate, it can also be said that Takakawa is integrating into the Three Immortals Island.
It is not that the Three Immortals Island becomes a part of the prosthetic body, nor does it serve as a close linkage between two objects that do not belong to each other, but the prosthetic body becomes a core component of the Three Immortals Island. The Three Immortals Island, which could function on its own without the need for a prosthetic, has undergone a certain transformation in the form of fusion after merging with the prosthesis. This is the answer that Gao Chuan can get without rational analysis and reasoning. It's an answer that makes it difficult to be skeptical, as if you can take it for granted. It's like saying to a believer, "God exists," and the believer takes it for granted and doesn't need to say it.
Gao Chuan, who remained in a state of hanging upside down, felt that his thinking and perception were moving from an extraordinary channel to an established realm, and in the process, there was an extremely clear trajectory that did not know why it existed. Obviously, more ideas can be generated, whether they are logical or absurd, but even they are surprised that all ideas are constrained to such a trajectory, and then those divergent and ambiguous ideas become condensed, and they will inevitably get the same cognition and the same conclusion.
Yes, Gao Chuan couldn't help but think: at this moment, he was as if he was "doomed"—destined to think and act like this, as if the melt had been poured into an elaborate casting mold, and would be shaped into a pre-planned appearance.
Gao Chuan felt that under normal circumstances, he would definitely resist, however, at this time, even if he thought about the word "resistance", he did not have a strong enough intention, and what was even more terrifying was that he noticed that he could perceive such a change, but he did not want to make a corresponding change.
Hanging upside down Takakawa suspended in the center of the cube without any point of focus, the force of the outside world on itself seems to have disappeared, and even the air pressure is average and unchanged, after the force and force are canceled, Takakawa can only exist in the cube in such a stagnant attitude.
The pressure of the sea, and the mystery of the arm, no matter how much they intended, could not penetrate the seemingly thin transparent layer on the surface of the cube. On the other hand, since it cannot have any effect on the existence of the force, it is not appropriate to use the word "enhancement". Words that can only be meaningful through comparison must also have a more definite reference.
Gao Chuan began to feel that he had become a ghost—the prosthetic body was becoming a part of the Three Immortals Island, but he still had forty percent of his flesh and blood left, but this was only forty percent left, and he couldn't restrain his soul. He felt like he was floating out. In the past, the self-will was locked in a shell, but now this part of consciousness is liberated, and in the next moment, it enters a world that has never been seen before.
When Gao Chuan observed the world, he already had relevant cognition in his mind, and he had not studied it, so his logic was actually a little doubtful that his cognition was correct.
Although it was also a body of water that was soaked in yellow, and there were countless arms waving in it, it did not happen in the previous temporary data hedging space.
Here it is-
The world of the collective human subconscious.
Although he couldn't see anything other than the yellow phenomenon and his arms, Takakawa had this kind of cognition, and he didn't have the urge to deny it from a conscious level.
I was actually walking in consciousness and came to such a deep place. Takakawa was still amazed when he established the idea that he was in the collective human subconscious, he didn't know when he activated the ability to walk consciously, and all changes seemed to bypass the norms of "thinking to guide action", and began and completed in a way that was instinctively ignored. It's like when people hold something, they naturally reach out without thinking about the details of the behavior, such as how much the arm should be bent, how the fingers should move in minutes and seconds, and so on. However, this amazement is like a circle of ripples spreading in a lake, and it quickly disappears.
The unconscious action does not make people think deeply, but accepts the result as a matter of course - and so Takakawa accepts the result as a matter of course.
However, despite accepting this result, he was still unable to interfere with anything in this state. He is like a ghost, nothing can touch him, nothing can destroy him, but correspondingly, he cannot interfere with anything other than observable, and even he cannot do anything to himself - because he has no body in this world of consciousness, but only a concept, a self-awareness.
He couldn't even see through the dense and unknown depth of the yellow phenomenon, and the swarming arms, to see what the collective subconscious world of human beings outside of the yellow phenomenon was like.
This yellow and nightmarish arm has not only eroded the material world and created a temporary data hedge space, but has gone further into the collective human subconscious. From this point of view, this strange phenomenon is the most fundamental consciousness of the apocalyptic illusion to create all kinds of mysterious appearances.
What it erodes is not the representation of "the part of the apocalyptic illusion that appears in a material state", but the consciousness of the person with doomsday syndrome itself. If we look at such a change from the standpoint of the reality of the hospital, then it may not be regarded as the presentation of the "virus" itself, but it must belong to some kind of sudden lesion of the doomsday syndrome.
From the reality of the hospital, the cause of this sudden lesion may not be found, but in the apocalyptic illusion, it is easy to conclude that "this is a disaster deliberately created by the Doomsday Shinrikyo Religion".
When he realized these things, Gao Chuan suddenly understood why the Three Immortals Island would join him in advance. Because, at this time, this sudden state of oneself is completely driven by the Three Immortals Island - which means that whether this yellow phenomenon is presented in the material world or penetrates into the world of the collective human subconscious, the Three Immortals Island can have an impact on it.
In front of the Three Immortals Island, the once powerless nature of the yellow phenomenon can no longer be its weapon to defeat the enemy.
The same is true of what Takakawa had observed so far, the yellow phenomenon and those strange arms, no matter how swaggering and hideous, seemed to break through the obstacles and pounce on them in the next moment, but they were isolated from a distance from beginning to end, and could no longer have a direct impact on him.
Takakawa's self-perception began to rise, as if he had crossed the ocean of the collective human subconscious, returning to his own body from another isolated space. He only felt that his body had become incomparably large and majestic, this body was not humanoid, nor was it a specific shape, although it felt huge, but it did not have a volume that could be measured concretely.
This is not a prosthetic body, nor is it flesh and blood, but the Three Immortals Island itself.
When he realized this, the Three Immortals Island became his body, and his personality and self-consciousness became the personality and self-consciousness that ruled the entire Three Immortals Island.
At this moment, Gao Chuan is no longer a human, but a monster of huge size. The performance and mystery of the weapons he had relied on—the Brain Hardware and the Prosthetics—were nothing compared to the mystery and performance he possessed at this time. It's not just a quantitative gap, it's also a qualitative gap, a gap between an abacus and a supercomputer.
Sanxian Island is like a combination of a super-sized prosthetic body and a brain hard body. A huge amount of information is surging in the Three Immortals Island, and the body of the Three Immortals Island is both a muscle and a brain.
Taking the Three Immortals Island as his body and observing the environment outside is an indescribable horror - yes, Takakawa doesn't think it's wonderful at all, maybe before he becomes such a form, he will have all kinds of beautiful fantasies, and he thinks that he will see something more essential and magnificent, but the world that Takakawa observes now is so confused, complex, dizzying, and irregular, and unable to describe an image that can be aesthetically recognized. The information obtained from observing this world could not be understood by people at all, and if it weren't for the fact that Sanxian Island was in charge of processing this information, Takakawa felt that his personality consciousness would burn out like fireworks in an instant.
Such a strong sense of death and abnormality accompanied Takakawa's observations, always entangled in his feelings, and the proportion occupied was so large that those more positive, such as "curiosity" here, were being excluded at every moment. Takakawa felt that if he hadn't adapted to similar fears, he would have been overwhelmed by the fear caused by this incomprehension, and he would not even be able to give orders to act.
The results obtained from the analysis of the information and the final processing of the Three Immortals Island are not something that Gao Chuan can understand - these results cannot be expressed in normal words and numerical values, in Gao Chuan's eyes, they are just messes of garbled characters, however, although they cannot be interpreted literally, they can feel the information covered by these garbled expressions.
It was a very general feeling, and Takakawa decided to act on it, but because of this, he felt that he had not actually become the "personality" of Sansendao, but its "instinct" - whether Sansendao was originally a dead thing, there may be no way to confirm it, but after fusing Takakawa, it is indeed no longer a dead thing, whether it is consciousness or instinct, it is not something that a dead thing has.
Takakawa couldn't pinpoint a clear outline of the target from such a distorted observation, but when he followed his instinctive instructions to act, Sanxian Island completed all the pre-work before the attack - just like hitting someone, it didn't need to manipulate every cell, every nerve, every bone, just need to have this consciousness and let the arm out.
Gao Chuan "picked" out. (To be continued.) )
