I never imagined that I would see "paradise" in such a situation. It is certain that there is a Doomsday Shinrikyo in this repeater world, and if we extrapolate from this, things like the Goat Guild and Paradise that are full of the style of Doomsday Shinrikyo will naturally exist as well. Earlier, I had heard rumors about Claudia White, and as the soothsayer had said, someone was growing this raw material for making Paradise, so it would not surprise me to find that Paradise had overflowed at some point. However, for some reason, we were involved in this mysterious event, but when we were "concocting the medicine to relieve illusions", we mistakenly configured the medicine as a "paradise", which gave me a strong shock regardless of the time, place or people who handled it.
The medicines that Dr. Nguyen Le concocted were all specific drugs developed for my mental illness, and they were re-matched with each other just to target other people's constitutions and reduce side effects. However, it is the final concocted medicine that will melt into a "paradise" after touching the little white flower. No, assuming that the little white flower is really White Claudia, and the drug is really effective, then, the reaction between the two, as Mitsukao said, is inevitable. However, the result of this reaction turned out to be "paradise"?
In the current situation, can it be considered that in the current specific situation, the combination of the drugs I am taking, and these little white flowers, is the process and method of creating a "paradise" of psychedelics? If the result of the creation of "paradise" that we are facing is not an accident, but behind it is the surge of some conspiracy, then what we are facing should be-
"Doomsday Shinrikyo?" Dr. Nguyen Le calmly said what I wanted to say.
"What paradise? What Apocalyptic Shinrikyo? What the hell is going on? We did it? Does the drug work? The fitness instructor was stunned and looked at me and Dr. Nguyen Li. Feeling confused and suspicious. Questions rang out like cannons.
"It's just similar, but if it's similar to this Cheng dΓΉ, and if it's coincidental to this Cheng dΓΉ, it's really interesting." Dr. Nguyen Le muttered to himself, and then explained to others who didn't know why. As mentioned in my diary, about the psychedelic drug "Paradise" and the situation of Shinrikyo Doomsday, "I originally only thought that those things were made up by Agawa. Of course, it is not denied that all illusions should have a basis in reality, but the current situation. But it seems that the things in Ah Chuan's diary are becoming reality one by one. β
"His diary is a story?" Mitsui Tsukao had a strange expression.
"Yes, an adventure story written by a mentally ill person, full of mystery." Dr. Ruan Li said this, but suddenly smiled, "It's funny, full of fantasy, I didn't think it was all along." That's true, because. The world described in it is very different from the world we know in terms of setting. However, it is helpful to study his condition. β
"Sounds like a complicated story." "But we don't have time to figure it out." β
"Yes. Whether it is the story imagined by Achuan or the story of Achuan himself, it is very complicated. Dr. Nguyen Le said, "Well, let's talk about it briefly. She pointed to the blue-purple solid-liquid mixture and said, "This thing is very similar to a psychedelic drug called 'Paradise' described in Agawa's fantasy story." In that setting, 'Paradise' is not only hallucinating, but also powerful, you can imagine the feeling of taking drugs and getting a lot of adrenaline. β
ββ¦β¦ I see. The fitness trainer immediately understood, "So, Ms. Nguyen, you mean that this blue-purple product will cause a similar situation?" β
"I don't know." Dr. Nguyen Le said categorically, "I'm not sure, this is 'Paradise', even though it looks similar on the outside. And, if it really has the effect of being a 'paradise', is it too much of a coincidence? Why, the things in Achuan's fantasy story, appear in front of us at such a time, because of our actions? β
"I've had this problem before." The soothsayer suddenly said, "Every fantasy must have a basis in reality. Well, Takakawa's child's fantasy story should not be an exception. However, Ms. Nguyen, how do you judge which of his fantasy stories must be fantasy, and what proportion of the elements that make up the story are based on reality? Gao Chuan is your adopted son, so, do you know what happened before he was adopted by you? What is the origin of his eccentric mental illness? β
Dr. Nguyen Li paused before saying, "Unfortunately, I can't answer your question. I used to track it down, but nothing came of it. β
Although the soothsayer's questioning was strong, I felt no malice, and she seemed to be just trying to verify something. In turn, Dr. Nguyen Li's answer, as if she had adopted Gao Chuan to have further inside information, what happened to "me" that I didn't know? In this world of repeaters, my background was originally very simple, but in the current situation, it is as if I have applied deep and thick paint to that simple picture.
I have my own past, and it's a strange feeling to be here listening to others talk about my past, and that this past is so different from my confident past.
It's like, I'm not me, but I've become something else. My identity has been changed again and again.
However, even this weird feeling is not a big deal compared to what I encountered in the real life of the hospital. I am Gao Chuan, and Gao Chuan is not only me, but the various situations that have been derived from this situation are no longer strange. I didn't interject, however, the other people looked at me and it became more eccentric. I can't guess what they think, but I think it's understandable to look at it. Probably, in the minds of these people, there is already a bold assumption that my unknown past is related to the current situation, and that the real apocalyptic truth, Claudia White and "Paradise" are the culprits that turned me into a psychopath, and now, these organizations and things that have been little known will appear here by chance. Naturally, it has something to do with my stay here.
If I were an aborigine, I would probably have such a guess. Otherwise, in such a bizarre situation, it would indeed be too much of a coincidence that the combination of my special effect drug and the suspected white Claudia creates the psychedelic drug in a fantasy story. As a matter of fact. I don't think many people today would treat this accident as just a coincidence.
"Perhaps, Gao Chuan's past identity is deeply related to the situation we are currently encountering." "However, I don't think this connection will allow us to stand still and get out of our current predicament. Don't forget what we're here for. β
"Actually, I want to prove it. Whether this is a paradise or not, just drink it. Mitsukasuo suddenly said: "Although it sounds incredible, what kind of doomsday Shinrikyo is actually a cult, right?" Cults use psychedelics to do things, but it is not surprising. β
"Is Paradise harmful to the body?" The fitness trainer asked.
"Of course." I gave a rough explanation of the danger of taking "Paradise", the blue-purple solid-liquid mixture at this time, in terms of color. Assuming that it is "paradise", its concentration must be very high. The side effects on the body after taking it will also increase year-on-year. I haven't forgotten what Shirai looked like after being eroded by "Paradise" in the past apocalyptic fantasy. Indeed, at that time, Shirai relied only on the body element. It is not weaker than the Demon Pattern Emissary, but it has paid a heavy price. At that time, Shirai's own spirit was already abnormal, so he didn't seem to care. However. At this moment, the experts here are all ordinary people in their normal senses, and they definitely don't want to watch themselves become like that.
"If this is really 'paradise', then, once you take it, you will inevitably have such consequences." Again, I stressed: "It's not worth risking your life because we're not on the verge yet, and there are many more options." β
Mitsui Tsukafu, who was a little eager to try, also quieted down when he heard this, in fact, I don't quite understand, obviously Dr. Ruan Li's warning is very clear, but Mitsui Tsukao still wants to try. Is it because he thinks that this blue-purple solid-liquid mixture is more effective in fighting the "illusion" that is currently being speculated?
However, if he thinks so, he is not wrong. Assuming that this is really "paradise", the power gained after taking it should neutralize the general illusion. Because, the hallucinations that I produce after taking "Paradise" are strong enough.
I've never felt that taking Paradise was the right thing to do, and that didn't change no matter what the circumstances. I've also taken "Paradise" in the past, and with the help of the Demonic Emissary's physique, it is relatively light, but if you are an ordinary person, once you take it, you probably can't get rid of it.
While the others were thinking, I pulled out a small bottle, poured a blue-purple solid-liquid mixture into it, and put it in the pocket of my combat trench coat.
"In any case, those white flowers can be regarded as having a reaction, which means that these special drugs can indeed react to hallucinogenic substances." Dr. Nguyen Le said to Mitsukasuka, "Do you want to keep trying?" β
As if he had just woken up, Mitsukasuka restrained the excited expression on his face, and said to Dr. Ruan Li with great certainty: "Yes, I want to try." β
So, Dr. Ruan Li once again made a potion for Mitsui Tsukafu, which was also a purple liquid, which was very turbid, and it was too much worse than the blue-purple "Paradise", giving people a rough and indiscriminate feeling. However, Mitsui Tsukao did not hesitate at all, and after taking it, he threw his head back and swallowed it.
The next moment, his body froze, and we stared at him intently, and after a while, he exhaled and said in a hoarse voice: "What a wonderful feeling, indescribable." β
"Got into effect?" The fitness trainer asked.
"Probably so." Mitsukasuo nodded and said, "It's true that there is a different feeling, but I'm not sure if it's effective for hallucinations." β
Everyone else nodded understandingly, the purpose of taking the drug is to resist the hallucination, but if the hallucination occurs, it proves that the drug is ineffective, and if there is no hallucination, it cannot be proved that the drug has taken effect or that there has never been a hallucination. Although Mitsukasu said that his current state is better than before taking the medicine, everyone also understands that this may just be a psychological illusion after taking the medicine because of the nature of the medicine.
With Mitsuka's precedent, the others did not hesitate more, and after receiving the diagnosis of Dr. Nguyen Li, they took the medicine that was adjusted according to their respective constitutions. Even Dr. Nguyen Le himself is no exception.
They didn't ask me what to do, and I didn't think that the medicine would help me, but even so, in order to calm the mind, I took the medicine as usual. After all. A mentally ill person who takes the initiative to take medication is more reassuring than a mentally ill person who resists taking medication. I can see that although I still don't know much about my situation, I have to guess my situation to the greatest extent possible by chance and clues that seem to be connected by a thread.
They began to suspect that I was the epicenter of the anomaly. The people behind the strange situation are behind me, and they are only harming the pond fish.
I don't feel pressured by this kind of thought, and they don't show malice from this thought, but give me an attachment that just wants to figure out the cause and effect. If I were an ordinary person like them, I would have been involved in such a fatal incident for some reason. I guess I think something similar.
Anyway, though. Since even "Paradise" has appeared, there is a good chance that this mysterious event will involve the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion. If it was Doomsday Shinrikyo behind the scenes that promoted this qiΔ, then what was their purpose? What is the meaning of the "paradise" created by chance?
I feel. The scaly claws that had just been exposed were once again hidden in the clouds.
Dr. Nguyen Le proceeded to make some diluted potions, after which we began to search the entire parking lot. Before the mutation, the hotel was full, and many travelers had to stay in their cars for the night. The environment inside the car. If we are aware of the abnormality of the sound and wake up, then, staying in the car, it is possible not to notice the changes outside, plus the air conditioning in the car, there is also a certain filtering effect on the hallucinogenic substances that may be stored in zΓ i. So, it is theoretically possible for these people living in the car to sleep until dawn without knowing exactly what is happening. As a result, we have a better chance of meeting them than we would in a hotel.
Assuming that the drugs we take have already had an effect, then the hallucinations that affect our five senses should no longer have the same powerful effect as before, and we will not see people as monsters. When we were prepared for this, we were hit hard by the fact that the doors and windows of some of the vehicles were smashed, and we were unable to find more companions here.
Mitsukasuka shone a flashlight into the car, revealing a helpless look: "The owner of the car should have run out after being attacked." β
When I first arrived at the parking lot, there was silence, but now it seems that this silence still represents a certain misfortune for Cheng dΓΉ. We don't know if the people who were supposed to be in the car survived and where they ran to, but at least there were no bodies at the scene, although there were blood stains. It wasn't just one car that was attacked, we found that there was a lot of blood in some cars, but there was very little blood that could be used as a clue. Whether it was the victim or the attacker, it all disappeared like air.
"It's not a big place, and even if people run away, they should leave footprints on the sand." "There wasn't enough light before, but now we can take a closer look," says Dr. Nguyen LΓͺ. β
"I didn't expect to do detective work." The fitness instructor shrugged and smiled, not refusing, but still mentioning: "We'd better use the location of the water tower as a direction." β
Her mention made us turn back to the original route. The initial idea was to check the water supply facilities at the rest site and expand the search area based on who cut off the water supply. However, the troubles, strange things, and possible clues encountered one after another continue to divert everyone's attention. I don't know what other people think, but these situations make me feel like someone is deliberately creating trouble to stop or delay us. If I had been determined to go to the water tower from the beginning, I might have gained more - such thoughts occasionally came to my mind, but the past experience allowed me to quickly eliminate this kind of loss and loss.
Because, in this world, nothing is accidental. When "Paradise" was accidentally concocted by Dr. Nguyen Li, I had a deeper feeling that this situation was destined to happen. Since Dr. Ruan Li will inevitably create a "paradise" by accident at this time, then all the factors that prompted her to complete this matter are definitely part of the premeditation. Everyone else thinks that my "past" is related to this incident, and I myself am the core of this incident, but in my opinion, it is Dr. Nguyen Le who concocted "Paradise" that has been proven to be the key to this mysterious incident. And those of us are just supporting characters next to Dr. Nguyen Li.
Moreover, it is quite worrying that the aid has not yet arrived for such a long time. In the background of the seminar, there is such a behemoth as NOG, and I don't think that NOG will completely ignore the situation here just because there is a presence in the team of me, a fourth-level demon pattern emissary. Assuming that they are involved by external forces, then the one who involves them must be the best among the mysterious experts.
Just when I thought things were going to get deeper, the surroundings seemed to light up a bit. Sensitive to light, I unconsciously looked around, and the gray fog dissipated part of it unconsciously.
"What's wrong?" The soothsayer on the side asked.
I heard Mitsui Tsukao suddenly lower his voice and warn: "Listen, there are footsteps, a lot." β
He didn't need to emphasize it anymore, the convergence of footsteps became more and more obvious, and faintly, someone could be heard shouting, as if it was coming from a long distance. We retracted our bodies into obstacles, and the strange situations we encountered before made people dare not rush forward. At this moment, gunshots came from the direction of the water tower, and the silence made the gunshots exceptionally clear, and with it, more clear sounds appeared. We looked at each other, and the sound was like thawing water, and the fish crowded all at once. The human voice, which had been a little faint, suddenly became loud, followed by the natural sounds of the wild environment, such as the sound of the wind, the chirping of insects, and even the sound of vehicles passing on the road, and the headlights and street lights were brightened, as if they were about to tear through the fog.
The night was still dark, but the fog was no longer gray and thinner under the light of the street lamps. The lively atmosphere, although it is not normal, but compared to the previous weirdness, it makes people feel relieved.
Even then, the gunfire in the direction of the water tower was not faked. Just by listening to the sound, you know that the fight is fierce.
We don't know exactly what the situation is, but the change in the environment is so obvious, although it is not as sudden as it was when it went bad, and it is not for the better now, and the gunfire still makes people feel dangerous, but in the end it is changing rapidly in less than a minute. The eerie silence makes it impossible to get used to, so instead of being sensitive to sound, not to mention, in our previous encounter, there have already been deceased, and the gunshots at this time are more reminiscent of death.
There are a lot of people shooting, and the sound is too noisy to hear why, but why, in just one minute, it has become like this? I saw confusion in the eyes of everyone else. However, it was quick to agree on what needed to be done.
"We should go over and have a look." Dr. Nguyen Le said.
"It's kind of dangerous." The fitness instructor was a little nervous, although the guns were on his body, but the gunshots in the direction of the water tower were like a warning, and there were bullets that would penetrate the human body and take his life.
"Maybe we should be glad we didn't go to the water tower sooner." Mitsukasuka said thoughtfully, "Most likely, the people we are looking for have gone over there." However, for a number of reasons, as we can guess, the fighting took place. β
"You mean, hallucinations?" Said the soothsayer.
"It may have been a hallucination at first, causing disagreements and accidents, and then things began to expand and became what they are now." Mitsukashi replied.
"It's dangerous, but if you don't, it's possible to get worse." "We have to determine who is an enemy and who is a friend, before they can decide who wins or loses. (To be continued......)
