And all the tulips of the girl, whether white, black, gold, red, seem to be able to set off her different sides, but it is impossible to describe her temperament with a single color of flowers. The black and white gothic dress and the deep eyeshadow outline the first impression of her. When it comes to makeup, Gao Chuan feels that among the women he has seen, she is also the thickest one. Even so, it doesn't make people feel that her beauty is modified by makeup - there is such a deep, time-accumulated feeling that one can't help but want to immerse oneself in it, dig into the secrets hidden within, and at the same time feel a deep fear of what is about to be unearthed.

It's like-

"Once you see her for who she really is, you will definitely regret it." As the driver spoke, Takakawa saw that he was trembling, his body movements were too obvious, and the fear on his face was unprecedented, and even so, his feet, which were so weak that they almost looked like they were about to fall, still supported his body strongly. Gao Chuan always felt that he knew more things, and in the depths of his eyes that were deep in fear, there was an inexplicable light, and the reason why Gao Chuan could detect it was precisely because he was too familiar with this light.

It is as light as the followers of the Doomsday Shinrikyo are praying for the truth they follow.

The power generated by this light was holding the man from falling, or turning around and running.

"VV or W?" Takakawa turned his gaze back to the goth girl.

The goth girl elegantly put down the teacup, picked up the handkerchief on the side of the plate and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, her every move did not have any special power, at least Gao Chuan didn't feel it, as if she was just an ordinary person who was disturbed from eating, slightly unhappy. However, Gao Chuan felt that it was impossible for her to have that kind of emotion, maybe she couldn't treat the girl in front of her as a "human being", and the inherent emotions, habits and instincts of human beings were really reflected in her behavior and expressions? Just like her makeup, Takakawa felt that all the details of this girl's human-like appearance were just disguising herself as human.

After all, if this wilderness and this mansion were her territory, and she was indeed the master who guided the two to visit, then Gao Chuan felt that his previous speculations about this master could all be temporarily summed up in her.

This is a monster that may have lived for many years.

Stared at by the driver with burning eyes, the goth girl said unhurriedly: "I didn't expect that it would be you who surprised me in the end." My third messenger. ”

Messenger? The driver was a little confused and brooding, but Takakawa always felt that he must have remembered something—about the messenger, about the reason for his coming, etc.—and that the girl's statement had proved that this encounter was by no means an isolated incident. The reason why she used the word "surprise" was that Gao Chuan felt that she was referring to herself. He couldn't help but think, couldn't it be that without this driver as an introduction, she and I would never have ever met?

It's a bit hard to believe this, Gao Chuan feels that if her identity is really what he thinks, then it will be a matter of time before he meets her, and he doesn't need such a "guide".

Now, the driver doesn't have time to dwell on whether the other party is a witch or not. Takakawa could see that his mind was in a mess, but at least it wasn't life-threatening. Takakawa wants to walk on consciousness, but in front of this unclear opponent, in the case of speculation about her identity and abilities, rashly using his abilities can sometimes put himself in trouble.

After all, who is this goth girl? Takakawa wanted a more tangible answer from her mouth.

"Who are you?" Takakawa asked calmly.

"I am who I am." The goth girl asked rhetorically, "But, you probably don't understand that." So, what do you call me? ”

"Witches? VV？ W？ Takakawa gave a few examples.

"Ah, all right, because that's what I told the Courier in the first place." The goth girl's smile has a dignified smile that has been washed by time, and it always feels a little strange to show such a smile on this young and petite face, "When I came to settle in Australia, I told the story of the witch to the three messengers, and when they grew up one by one, I became a witch." But at the end of the day, there's no such thing as a witch, I'm neither VV nor W, and even so, you can still use the name in this story to record my existence. ”

She said it in a roundabout way, and it seemed to be full of meaning. Takakawa thinks this is because she uses the power of consciousness walking—the name determines cognition, and makes the meaning of existence emerge, in a sense, if something does not have a fixed concept, or if there is a concept but no name, then its existence is difficult to be recognized. In the world of consciousness walkers, not being recognized is in many cases equivalent to "not being", although this equation is not entirely true, and not all of them are.

"You need the knowledge of others to sustain yourself?" Takakawa asked bluntly.

The Goth Girl was not angry, and her gentle and majestic voice echoed in the space: "Being recognized is one of the foundations of the existence of this world, and there must be at least one observer for the self to exist, even if this observer is oneself." So, yes, I need the cognition of others to maintain my existence, but because I can observe myself, even if no one knows me and no one knows me except me, I don't disappear, it's just that it's hard to come into contact with other people. At that time, it was as if everyone else and I were living in two parallel worlds. ”

"You don't like that?" Takakawa asked.

"It's not about liking or disliking. More often than not, though, I do hate being interrupted. So, I have limited myself to three Messengers to maintain knowledge, and not more people - they will bring in those whom I see when necessary, as they are now. The goth girl nodded slightly, looked at the driver, and said to the man, who was completely immersed in his own world, "You see, even the messenger cannot maintain the knowledge of me when it is not necessary. And their perception of me is only maintained by a concocted story and legend. ”

"Although you are very honest, I still don't know who you are and what you want to do." Takakawa said straight to the point: "I have a lot of questions for you, but, until then, can you answer more thoroughly, who are you?" With that, he took a step back and was half a position behind the driver, who did not respond at all to the answer between the two, like a doll with a broken line.

"You've already guessed, haven't you? Takakawa. The goth girl said, "It's about the same as you might think." ”

"Can you see my heart?" Takakawa remembers that the driver once said that witches can see through people's hearts.

"No, but I know what you think, because your thoughts and actions are full of patterns." "Just as you would pay close attention to the enemy's movements and deduce the enemy's thoughts before going to war, for me, this is not a deliberate thing to do for the sake of fighting, but a habit, and when I see you, I instinctively draw conclusions," said the Goth Girl. ”

"You are a member of the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion." Takakawa said in a sure tone.

"Yes, I am a member of the Doomsday Shinrikyo people, or rather, I am the Doomsday Shinrikyo people." Goth Girl said, but she said it so smoothly that it made people feel a little deceitful.

"There are three giants of the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion, and even if you are only one of them, you cannot represent the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion." Gao Chuan's vigilance became more explicit, "Are you trying to deal with us?" ”

"Deal with? Then it's up to you to do it. The goth girl smiled calmly, "I haven't been a leader for many years. ”

In the time she said this, the little sense of security that Takakawa had left was gone. There was a very strong sense of stubbornness in this smile in front of her, which made Gao Chuan believe that she would definitely let herself do something, and if she didn't do it, she would definitely not give up. Coming to this wilderness and entering this mansion, the driver is a messenger who doesn't even know what role he plays.

"Why did you ask him to bring me here?" Takakawa asked.

"Very good, let me think about it, because I haven't said it to anyone for too long, and I have been thinking about it myself for a long time, so my thoughts are a little messy." The goth girl paused before saying, "Well, let's start at the beginning." Tell me about Doomsday Shinrikyo and why I founded Doomsday Shinrikyo and then you will know what I want. ”

Gao Chuan nodded, there was nothing to do. He had a gut feeling that what this goth girl was going to say would surely surprise him.

"The world isn't always what it looks like, you should know that, Mr. Takakawa." Goth Girl said, "In addition to the fact that the world line will jump for some reason, the world itself will also disintegrate and reorganize at some point. ”

"You mean, the end of the world and the Book of Genesis?" Takakawa said.

"Yes, what's wrong? Mr. Takakawa should be able to understand how many times the end of this world and the rebirth of this world have been carried out, I don't know much, but it definitely won't be once or twice. The goth girl looked at Gao Chuan with a meaningful gaze: "Although the world line beats, the world is reorganized, there will be many characters who are similar to the last world, but they are actually different. In this sense, the end of the world not only exists, but can also be understood as a very rapid metabolic mechanism. Every time the world is born, it will usher in the end sooner than imagined, and this is the truth. ”

"The apocalyptic truth, that all things will die, but all things will also be born again, this cycle is meaningful and cannot be understood by human intelligence." Takakawa did not refute it, but only stated that the doctrine of the Doomsday Shinrikyo often says, "Flesh and blood are like grass and trees, glory is like an epiphany, grass withers, flowers wither, but death is not the end, just as the truth lasts forever." ”

"Some people believe that this is the cycle of nature. However, if you zoom in to the whole world as the core, and it will cycle once in a year or two, or more than a hundred years, no matter how you think about it, it will be difficult to call it a natural choice, right? The goth girl said this, making Gao Chuan's forehead slightly sweaty, he somewhat understood, the girl in front of him always gave him a little weird, she seemed to have relied on her own strength, deep into the operation mechanism of the Doomsday Illusion, and somewhat understood the fact of the Doomsday Illusion - although people always feel that this world has existed for thousands of years and has a long history, but the memories and materials of those long histories actually do not exist - when everyone thinks that this history is so long, When one's own organization is formed in this way, it will only exist within the scope of people's cognition in this way.

It is not history that makes people develop, but false history that has been instilled in human society from the very beginning.

"People will start calculating the life cycle of the earth from hundreds of millions of years ago, and 5,000 years is the proud civilization of the ancient countries of the East, and everyone believes that after hundreds of millions of years, human beings will still be alive and the strongest existence on this planet." "But the reality is that we haven't been in the world for that long," the goth girl said. There is a kind of information that exists before we observe the world, and this information is the basis of our understanding of the world, and conversely, without this information, we would not see the colorful world in front of us - the world is probably dark. So, where does this information come from? In order to unravel this mystery, I began to walk on consciousness, into the collective human subconscious. ”

After a pause, she said to Gao Chuan, "I'm probably the oldest consciousness walker. ”

The oldest consciousness walkers perceived the truth of the world, and before wheelchair people, they had already begun to penetrate into the collective human subconscious, trying to validate their ideas there. No one knew what she saw, no one knew what she wanted, and the world she saw was so vast that the rest of the world could not comprehend. However, in this world, there are still people who can naturally understand her.

That's Takakawa.

Patients with special doomsday syndrome have gone back and forth between the apocalyptic illusion and the reality of the hospital countless times, and in the process, the self-personality constantly collapses and regenerates, but even so, the cognition is preserved. He can understand that the apocalyptic illusion is not the "life of the planet", but the "life of the patient", as the Goth Girl said, an external force that interferes with the perception of the world in the apocalyptic illusion from beginning to end, and this interference runs through the end of the world and rebirth, or it can be seen as the root of "the reason why the world is the way it is".
