After unleashing the pyramid-shaped electronic demon, the Connector's expression looked like a nightmare. I carefully watched her expression and made sure that her mental state had recovered somewhat after this. With the disappearance of the power of the electronic demon, the group of "interlocutors" also disappeared with the third-level demon pattern messenger boy. I'm not sure if the "interlocutor's" manipulation of the Connector's consciousness has really been removed, but at least she doesn't seem to be attacking me like she used to. I guess that the "interlocutor" is likely to have a distance limit on the control of the head of the person and Anna, so the third-level demon pattern messenger boy is still suspected of leading me into a trap after being separated from them for such a long time and distance, so is he not controlled by the consciousness level in the first place, but was originally with the "interlocutor"?

I held out my hand to the slumped joint, and she was at first hesitant and surprised, making me wonder what was going on in her heart, but she still grabbed my hand, and I thought that was the best answer.

There are many things that have to be learned from the connector and Anna. But how much they know doesn't give me much hope, and a skilled consciousness walker doesn't deliberately leave a flaw on the level of consciousness, unless the flaw is something that can't be remedied by one's own ability, or is trying to create a trap. As the "interlocutor" himself says, what he is best at is "giving the other party information through conversation, and making the other party produce inevitable behaviors based on the information he has received". People who are good at psychology have also studied this practice, and the best example is Dr. Nguyen Li, but the ability of the "interlocutor" to be a consciousness walker can magnify the effect to a level that ordinary people cannot reach.

It's like letting the connector and Anna sneak attack me, in my understanding. It's just a relatively crude way for the "interlocutor" to apply his abilities. As to why he or she only used such crude techniques, the answer is not clear, but it must not be an expression of kindness. Since the "interlocutor" has talked to "it" and thus gained "truth" and "power", and acted on it, then. No matter how malicious the speculation is, it is a matter of course for me.

"Where's Anna?" The connector patted the gown, but there was nothing dirty there, even if it was covered in ashes.

I grabbed her and swept over to the unconscious Anna. The connector crouched down and probed her snort, but of course it was of little use. This is the world of consciousness, and if Anna dies, the corpse will not look like this.

"I didn't hurt, I knocked me out." I said, "Your consciousness needs to be cleared, though. There should be a regulation on this in Cyberball, right? ”

"Mr. Takakawa, are you still a consciousness walker?" The connector looked at me and asked cautiously, "Can I trust you?" ”

"I just have the power to walk consciously, but I'm not a conscious walker." I replied calmly, "As for whether you believe me or not." It's your thing, isn't it? If you refuse. Well, I'm not going to let the two of you into the shelter. Of course, if I can, I'll try to get you out of this nightmare. ”

"No, it can't be." The connector frowned and said, "Although I don't know how you did it, Mr. Takakawa. But, as far as I know, others who have entered this nightmare have never woken up. ”

I was a little surprised, this was the first time I knew this information. But. As far as I can see, it is true that I did not see the patients in the Nightmare in the Peninsula Psychiatric Hospital, and at first I thought that we were assigned to a different living quarter, but since the connector said so, assuming she was correct, it is possible that the patient who had fallen into the nightmare had been detained by the seminar as observation material. Not being able to wake up in a nightmare means that the body in the psychiatric hospital is in a vegetative state, and for these patients, it is likely that one of the nightmares has become their only life—such an example can be seen from the appearance of the patients in the shelter, who open and close their mouths, and are completely in the situation of this nightmare, especially in the depths of the night, and if there is not enough intelligence and insight, they may really be regarded as the natives of this nightmare.

I am aware of consciousness walking, and have a keen intuition about the situation, and after encountering these kinds of events, I have some suspicions, because of the drugs taken by the seminar, and the patients who enter this nightmare may not have a clear memory of hospital life, but more likely that their consciousness has been distorted by a certain amount of dù. It is likely that the information about this nightmare has had a covering impact on their past perceptions, allowing them to express this natural attitude as they integrate into their nightmare lives.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a person's outlook on life and the world to change so much. Entering such a nightmare of "having a deep history and being incompatible with real life", the difference between the two worlds is absolutely obvious to make people intuitively feel inappropriate, and will have a subconscious rejection in the psyche.

The people I met recognized and got used to this "nightmare". It's understandable if this is a change that took a long time to happen, but these changes don't actually have such a long timeline. All the changes are extremely contrasting, and if it weren't for the distortion of consciousness by some force, it's hard for me to think of any other answer.

The words of the connector confirmed my suspicion from the side. Only by entering the deep state of consciousness of "not being able to wake up from a nightmare" can the consciousness of the corresponding process dù be interfered with and distorted. I can wake up from a nightmare, of course, because, I've been special from the beginning. My peculiarity does not spread to every other ordinary person, even to the occult experts. However, since they are also conscious walkers and have been exposed to "it", it is likely that the "interlocutor" is also someone who can wake up from a nightmare.

Now, the relationship between this nightmare of the deepest night and the Peninsula Psychiatric Hospital is gradually becoming like the relationship between "apocalyptic vision" and "hospital reality". So much so that I suddenly understood why I had always had a hazy sense of vision about this nightmare and this hospital before.

On the other hand, I also realized that in such a world of consciousness, this sense of immediacy also has a certain effect on the overall environment of this nightmare. In turn, it is becoming more and more similar to the isolated islands and hospitals I am familiar with in some external characteristics. I am afraid that every patient who enters this nightmare will find a similar shadow in the environment that impresses him the most in his heart.

And for those who have malignant nightmares, the so-called most impressive environment. Nature refers to the environment that people feel most afraid of. They will be here, in this deepest night, to see what they least want to see. It's a place where they'll encounter fears that are their own, as if they're replaying a scene they least want to think about.

"If all the people who have entered the nightmare can't get out, does that mean that all the people who are here to operate, whether it is the NOG or the Doomsday Shinrikyo cult, are willing to risk such a risk to enter this nightmare?" I asked the connector rhetorically.

"I don't know much about Shinrikyo at the end of the world. Still, I believe it. NOG and the people of District 51 entered this nightmare with the mentality of fighting against the water. "We have a plan, and they are the executors of the plan." If the plan succeeds, everyone will have a chance to get out of this nightmare, but if the plan fails-" She paused here, smiled again, and said, "Actually. If the plan fails, we will all be killed by the Nazis. So whether you can leave the nightmare or not, it doesn't matter at all, does it? When we were selected for the team and entered the repeater, we were already reminded that this was a life-or-death operation. So. It can also be considered that these risks we take are all in order to grasp the glimmer of life. It makes no difference between us who act outside the nightmare and those who act in the nightmare. The dangers are the same. I think Mr. Takakawa also understands this, right? ”

I nodded and said, "Only by completing the repeater strategy and leaving alive is the real victory, but in order to achieve this victory, I am willing to take the stage of danger and seize the opportunity to die, right?" That's what I thought, too. ”

"So, even if you die here, there's nothing to complain about." The connector said, "Just like it is now." We didn't enter this nightmare voluntarily, and we still have our own work out there, but now that we're in, we have to accept that we can't leave, and decide on what we want to do in the future. ”

"Anna thinks the same way?" I asked as I watched the connector pick up the unconscious Anna.

"Yes, that's the only thing, I'm sure. She is a companion. Without hesitation, the connector replied that it seemed that there was a past between the two of them, and that something might have happened during the time they were captured by the "interlocutor".

"What's the matter with that third-level demonic emissary boy?" I asked.

"As Mr. Takakawa suspected, he had betrayed a long time ago." The connector said with a gloomy face, "Although there is no concrete evidence, I suspect that he is the key to our nightmare this time. We didn't take the medicine, and we didn't feel any other power at the time. Doesn't it seem abnormal that we just entered this nightmare so suddenly and without warning? Actually, from the very beginning, I suspected that there were traitors among us. The process of our gathering together, although not too unnatural, did happen by coincidence, and for a person like me, any coincidence is doubtful, let alone the plural coincidences that occur under such special circumstances. ”

However, now, the original team of five people is only her and Anna, so in her heart, she has a clearer understanding of what the actual situation is. It's just that the storage of the "interlocutor" makes her message also have the nature of a "trap". I've been observing her demeanor and speculating about the changes in her consciousness, and I feel that she is awake now, that she can control her own consciousness, and that the power of the "interlocutor" is in her, and there is no trace of anything that can be felt.

So, I think, the connector is aware of his own situation and says these words with a sense of self-control. I can trust that she understands the impact of what she says. Assuming that this is her words, then it is only her will that is reflected, not the will of the "interlocutor".

"There's just one last question." I asked her, "Using the power of the deepest night to awaken the monsters in the nightmare Las Vegas, and combining this nightmare with the peninsula to form a special temporary hedge space that can be used as a battlefield to confront the Nazis - is such an action an inevitable result even if you count the interlocutors?" ”

The connector looked at me and didn't speak, but the barely visible fluctuations in her eyes made me realize that my guesses were true, or that most of them were close to the truth. Each of the mysterious organizations and mysterious experts operating here may have their own ideas and hopes to achieve their own results, but in the end, the ultimate goal is still to set up the battlefield and pull the enemy down. Including the seemingly shady events that happened to the interlocutor, they are just a fragment of a story relative to this ultimate goal.

The choices of all people, the actions of all people with selfish desires, any individual events that seem to have no intersection, the spread of mystification, and all the storms that seem to lead by chance, will all contribute to the same result. And such a result was promoted by the "tacit understanding" of the three parties of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Religion, NOG and District 51. And this kind of promotion is actually the real plan of the decision-making level of the NOG team.

"Yes, that's an inevitable consequence, because if we can't defeat the Nazis, we don't have any hope of survival. Where we are, in fact, is the inside of the Nazi-controlled Las Vegas repeater, isn't it? "No matter what happens, no matter how many enemies there are, the most crucial enemy that must be defeated has been confirmed long before entering here. Mr. Takakawa. ”

I gazed at her and held out my hand to her again: "Although I have left the NOG, and perhaps there are more inhumane goals for each of us, and there have been many serious contradictions as a result, at least on the issue of the Nazis, there is still the same. Well, in matters involving the Nazis, we are allies. I think John Bull thinks the same way I do. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Mr. Takakawa. Without hesitation, the connector shook hands with me, "The jointing task can now be confirmed to be completed." (To be continued......)
