The basement is a cage full of immediacy, and the walls are still stone, but the intricate circuit patterns are carved from floor to ceiling. The light circulates in the loop, dyeing the quaint stone with a high-tech style, which is reminiscent of science fiction movies, when people in the Middle Ages accepted the technology of alien civilizations and restored these technologies beyond their own civilization in a simple way that their own civilization could understand. It's like a bridge across the sea made of wood and stone, and it's full of extraordinary uncanny feeling. It's not the walls themselves that really stop the occult experts from using their power to break through the cages, but the light that flows through these circuits. What kind of energy it is is impossible to imagine at this time, it is a mysterious product, and in this world of consciousness, its essence can only be assumed to be the reconstruction of some kind of consciousness force.

It's as if the gray mist can transition between the physical state and the conscious state, and use this property to produce incredible effects. I guess these circuits on the basis of what I know, the cage structure that appears in nightmares, but I also know that my guess is just a guess, and before it is triggered, it may be similar to the guess, or it may be completely different, and it will only be determined at the moment of triggering. Among the mysteries I have encountered, there are many such properties similar to Schrödinger's theory of dead cats, and what is even more terrifying is that even if it is determined, it can be turned back into an uncertain state in an instant.

From a scientific point of view, "uncertainty" is the closest thing to "mysterious".

The moment I observed the cage, I had a gut feeling that there was a slim chance that these unconscious mystical experts would be able to use their power to break through the cage. And the reason why it is not 100% is because the "mystery" of the occult experts themselves gives them possibilities. The question is whether they can make this tiny possibility a reality – someone can do it, and then the odds are slim. It also has no meaning to them, and miracles in the eyes of others are always with them; Someone can't do it, and therefore, no matter what the odds are, it can't be achieved, and then there is no miracle in his reality.

Whatever the source of the "mystery" is. From what perspective is it observed, interpreted, and recognized, in the apocalyptic illusion, it is a terrible, turbulent, malignant existence that does not completely deprive hope, and is full of miracle probability. In this world, "mystery" also means the existence and arrival of the apocalyptic process, but even ordinary people who have not been exposed to "mystery". Don't you also need to face the end brought about by "mystery"? When the "mysterious" exists, and at the same time, the moment the doomsday exists, the "mysterious" is no longer something that distinguishes the fate of mystical experts and ordinary people.

It is simply a "reasonable" existence that corresponds to the concepts of gravity, thought, will, and life.

Although I keep imagining and guessing, what is the essence of the "mystery", what is the source, and from these inferences, imaginations and speculations. Construct your own perception of the world, however. I also understand that stupid people like me, like all ordinary people, can't really understand such things.

Many times, it is only necessary to know the simple and stupid view that "mystery is mystery", but when looking at mysterious events. There will be a clearer structure.

And my thinking, at such times, is often more like the foolishness of a fool, as if it is accompanied by the innate curiosity and inquisitive nature of human beings.

Yes, I'm proud that I can think. But I never felt that knowing how to think was evidence of intelligence. On the contrary, thinking is because of what you don't know, and since you don't know what you don't know, and what you can't understand even if you think about it, isn't it just proof that you're stupid?

A wise person will not have something that he does not know, there will be nothing that he cannot perceive, that he cannot parse, that he cannot understand, on the contrary, he is a fool.

I can always feel how stupid I am in all kinds of "mysterious" displays, and I can feel the ridicule from God in all kinds of mysterious events. Even if I'm a mentally ill person.

Believe me, this is definitely not a comfortable feeling, even if this experience seems so mysterious and exciting to ordinary people, and I admit that it is indeed mysterious and exciting, and it cannot be denied that at the same time, it is definitely not beautiful.

Under the watchful eyes of the Connector, Anna, and the Humanoids, I put all the mystical experts in a cage, and then calmly wrote down the past and my thoughts into a letter that they could read in the most prominent place when they woke up. I do not hope that this letter will dispel their suspicion and antipathy towards me, and I would not be surprised if they really have a bad feeling and have a different opinion of me, but even so, I hope that there are people among these people who can understand my thoughts. It doesn't matter if they understand and accept it, or if they understand but don't.

When I placed these mysterious experts, I also thought that the humanoids might be using them for something. I'm not sure. I've always seen things from a different perspective than mine, so it's hard to guess what she thinks. And if the humanoid system is related to the color system, it must also play a role that is quite mysterious to me. She has been playing such a role in the past apocalyptic illusions. But what's the point? She has her own plans, she's also my relative, and I've always resented her for not being on my side.

For me, there is no better way to deal with these mystical experts these days than this practice.

After leaving the basement, the entrance disappears completely, and when you touch it with your hands, the walls are also solid, and you can't feel it at all, and you may not actually find this basement. The basement is a kind of "mystery", not a simple mechanism.

"What are you going to do with the other patients?" The connector asked.

"Let them move around in the shelter. They will find a place to live on their own. I replied. I saw incomprehension and skepticism in the eyes of the connector and Anna, but it was only because they understood too little of this nightmare, this shelter, and had stayed on pure intelligence in the past. If they're like me, they've been operating in this shelter for a long time. I can definitely see why I made this decision.

Although the people living in this shelter may seem like the "natives" of nightmares, they are not. If other patients can find their own place in this shelter, then other patients at the moment can do the same. Just like the group of hunters who recently migrated to this sanctuary.

The group had been claustrophobic in the compound of the mansion until the last time they left the shelter, completely incommunicating, and while their behavior had become strange and worrying, it was also certain that they had found their own home.

As long as the mentally ill patients brought in this time are active in the shelter for a while, they will naturally be no exception.

Connector and Anna seem to have thought about it. The mentally ill were confined to the basement along with the group of occult experts. But it seems to me that if these mentally ill people are treated in this way, it will increase the likelihood that the occult experts will be released from their cages. Although these mentally ill people have always behaved as ordinary patients, they are also excellent material for a mystical expert, especially in a world of consciousness.

Connectors and Anna seem to trust and prefer these NOG mystical experts, but I have to prepare for the worst.

Fortunately. Both of these women are reasonable, even if I don't explain it. There is not much dwelling on this topic either.

"What should we do now? We weren't supposed to be here in the first place. Anna glanced at the humanoid figure who had returned to her place, sitting still, and said in a low voice.

"Maybe you can try to wake up." I shrugged and replied. The connectors had said before that people who had nightmares were unlikely to get in and out, and I was the only exception they had seen so far. But. But I don't think I'm alone. Other people who can do the same thing must be in zài, but they haven't been touched. What's more, whether it's a connector person, or Anna. They are all extremely powerful mystical experts with "mystery", and their "mystery" means that no matter what they want to do, the chance cannot be completely zero.

Whether or not they can wake up from a nightmare on their own is up to them, not me. I have already told them about this. However, they seemed to be a little resistant to the nightmare situation, but their attitude of refusing to stay here was so determined.

They have been saying that they and others are being dragged into this nightmare in the depths of the night, and it is definitely not voluntary. But they marched and thought in preparation to stay here.

"I wonder what kind of journey the deepest night will be, and the sacrifice will begin." I turn the conversation back to the point. The existence of the sacrificial rite has been confirmed, its purpose has been confirmed, and the place where it was held has been speculated, the question is time. The beginning and end of the night is a long process, and it is difficult to determine what will happen in the process without experiencing it yourself. Theoretically, we can refer to these "histories", but these "histories" are not recorded in writing, and the hunters who serve as historical interpreters actually have no specific cognition, as if after experiencing the deepest night, there are only very few fragments left in the original records of the deep night, and people cannot piece together the truth - broken history, terrible reincarnation of the deepest night, remnants of ruins and shelters, dangerous and endless weirdness, Hunters chasing the truth and inexplicable human figures in towers and chapels. This qiē is the material that composes this nightmare.

These materials constitute many puzzles that are difficult to explain, but they do not exist at all what Zài calls "riddles". It is of course very difficult and dangerous to take advantage of such a nightmare in the depths of the night. Because, in theory, the lack of intelligence has reached the point where it is difficult to determine the timing. Therefore, I have to think that the timing of the sacrificial ritual, which is promoted by various mystical organizations, is determined by some mysterious force, so there is no clue to any reasoning.

The only way to know the specific situation directly from the people involved is to passively wait for the sacrificial ceremony to start. The mysterious experts who were imprisoned in their cages could no longer be counted on, but instead Connectors and Anna, even in human form, seemed to be better able to speak.

If the connector and Anna had said that they were innocent, that they knew nothing about the actions of these companions, because they were not responsible for this, I would never have believed it.

"In fact, there is absolutely no one who can determine the timing in advance until the time does come." Anna scratched her head, as if she felt a little troublesome to explain, "You can think that deviations are at work, so the originally fixed trajectory becomes unpredictable." And creating such an unpredictable situation is our task at Torchlight. ”

As Anna said. From the very beginning, NOG did not have an advantage in intelligence. If the NOG can confirm the timing and seize every opportunity, other mysterious organizations with more information, such as the Doomsday Shinrikyo or something, will definitely be able to do better. As a result, our odds are actually very low. However, if there is a deviation and no one can get accurate information or judge the exact timing, then we, the weaker side, have a chance to achieve results. The connector said very calmly: "So, it doesn't matter if there is a deviation that cannot be controlled." ”

"Hurting others and not benefiting oneself?" I describe it with a bit of a bad feeling.

However, the connector and Anna did not hide it, nor did they have any bad feelings, and nodded as a matter of course and said, "It's just harming others and not benefiting yourself." The key is who has the most to lose. ”

"Now it seems that other organizations still have leeway even if they lose, but NOG is gone." I say. In this nightmare, there was a situation like "interlocutor", and it may be a manifestation of "deviation", although the team was not wiped out, but now the survivors are also imprisoned, and the only ones who can really act are the connector and Anna who claim that "entering the nightmare is an accident".

"There will be. Although you stopped the NOG, you couldn't stop the Doomsday Shinrikyo and Area 51, with their push, the plan will still be completed, and as long as the plan is completed, our reinforcements will arrive. "Although creating a deviation is detrimental to others and self, it does not mean that we will not make up for this shortcoming." Mr. Takakawa, don't underestimate our cyberball.
