1651 Homecoming

What appeared in front of Takakawa was a puddle of melted asphalt-like things, although there were still outlines of humanoid limbs, but these outlines were intertwined with each other, hands connected to hands, feet to feet, and even heads connected to each other, several heads connected together, floating and wailing, cursing, and the sound made had completely lost the temperature of living beings, and was more like the sound effect of a ghost crying and howling made by electronic voice change. Their posture is abhorrent, horrible, miserable, faintly disgusting, but it is a sadness that arises from their hearts: what happened to them that they could not even commit suicide, and were forced to live in such a posture that made themselves and the onlookers feel painful.

In fact, the reason is already vaguely hinted at in the information provided by the Central Principality. Gao Chuan knew that Sanxian Island, which was thousands of miles away, would break through the barrier of temporary data hedging space through the connection with the prosthetic body, and reach his side, which would definitely not be through ordinary means. It follows a mysterious path in a mysterious way, and there must be some mysterious power acting on it. The Three Immortals Island itself can carry this mysterious power without mutations, but the people who stay on the island can't bear it.

The whole process is probably like a ship passing through an environment full of high radiation, which cannot cause damage to the ship itself, but brings irreparable damage to passengers who are not prepared.

This is also why the Central Duchy first needed to relocate the people on the island before searching for Takakawa on the island of the Three Immortals - this was not a normal operation, and most of the people on the island, no, maybe everyone, were unable to carry out this operation. The search for Takakawa on Sanxian Island was carried out in a completely automated way.

However, these intent intrigues misestimated their own abilities, and also misestimated the difficulty of finding Takakawa on Sanxian Island - it is impossible for Sanxian Island to have no defenses, and its outstanding design is not to provide a fortress that can live in people, but it is still inhabitable, and in order to protect the carrying personnel, there must be various mechanisms in the face of mysterious phenomena, but those defensive measures that must exist in the expectation are either unable to be activated, or the mystery of the environment exceeds the "protector" the limits of the defense mechanism.

When Gao Chuan integrated into the Three Immortals Island, he did not feel any damage to the Three Immortals Island. Therefore, it should only be the "protection of passengers" that has gone wrong.

As a result, the people who remained on the island were affected by some mysterious force during a voyage, or in the subsequent battle with the yellow phenomenon, and finally became the miserable appearance in front of them.

Takakawa originally wanted to ask, but the monster in front of him was melted and patchworked, and he was probably unable to answer. Takakawa opened up the ability to walk consciously, however, the "bridge" that unfolded in front of his eyes was so broken and chaotic that it was as if they had smashed into each other, and the remnants of the damaged part were connected to each other, but there was no way out.

This monster was in chaos both in form and in consciousness, and Takakawa didn't feel that he had the ability to reorganize these chaotic things.

So, there was only one option left for him.

Although the monster in front of him is a patchwork of enemies, in the final analysis, it is still a terrorist who conspires to subvert the country, usually performs various tasks that violate human morality to seek benefits, and intends to make waves in the Third World War, however, this appearance of no one is a ghost or a ghost, which still makes Takakawa feel sad. He didn't feel pity, but he felt a kind of pain and sadness, because, even if they were good people, as long as they were doomsday syndrome patients, they would become similar at some point - what happened to these terrorists was not because they did anything bad against the moral laws of mankind, but simply because they lived in a terrible world, and people can change their moral conscience, but they can't change the terrible world they live in.

If it were in a realistic, mysterious, legalistic world, even terrorists would not have to endure such inhuman suffering. In fact, all it would have been to punish them was a bullet, a potion, or a prison. If they had to suffer because they were considered guilty, then Takagawa felt that there would be more people who were not like them, and they would have to suffer as well.

When death and life are bound to proceed in a miserable and painful way, when this way is written into the circumstances that human beings cannot reverse at this moment, and becomes an inevitable law, then the world is undoubtedly hell.

The bell of doom has faintly sounded, and the people in front of them are just one step early. Takakawa is very sure that as long as the erosion of the "virus" cannot be ended, and the reincarnation of the apocalyptic illusion cannot be stopped, then people will always suffer similar suffering, and whether they are good or bad, people will inevitably encounter more terrible things, regardless of whether they have faith or not.

Takakawa pulled out his revolver, examined it with a sacred and pitiful emotion, and then pointed the muzzle of the gun at the wailing, cursing, and painful monster.

"May your God have mercy on you—but, I don't think it will." Gao Chuan said, pulled the trigger, and with the sound of six gunshots, in that voice without faith, he recounted the prayer of rest, "Amen." ”

Six bullets slammed into the monster's body, but it didn't make it scream in more pain, and Takakawa thought it was because there was no harm that could make them more painful when they looked like this. Although it was so large, weighing sixty or seventy people combined, and the revolver that enhanced the mystery with the S-mechanism did not have more than the usual level of mystery, the monster still seemed to be satisfied, and little by little, the limbs and heads of the people who composed it gradually relaxed, and the wailing, cursed, painful, and strange cries faded away.

It was like chasing death, and when the curtain of death was opened by six bullets, it struggled to pour into the gap. It wasn't the bullet that killed it, it wanted to kill itself, so it did. It turned into ashes in front of Takakawa, just as countless monsters in the past had become when they died in front of Takakawa.

Takakawa didn't get any information, but he felt that he hadn't done anything wrong. Maybe there is another way to make this monster speak, and he can't organize its consciousness himself, but someone will definitely be able to do it. In the net ball, in the Central Duchy that created the Three Immortals Island, there are countless capable people and wizards hidden, but the Central Duchy probably won't be interested in the information that this monster has.

The Central Duchy had already anticipated the outcome of the matter, and these people were ignored on the island like garbage, and Takakawa had to work as a cleaner again. He has no particular view of murder, especially when the enemy is a terrorist, and even the humanitarian spirit will not run out to blame, but he still cannot maintain the most ordinary emotions, because what he is looking at is not the end of the terrorists, but the end of "people".

In any case, these terrorists were once part of humanity and, from the point of view of hospital reality, they were also part of the doomsday syndrome. Their fate can naturally also be regarded as the fate of humans in the apocalyptic illusion, or the fate of the personality of the person with doomsday syndrome.

When killing this monster, Takakawa had a feeling that "the mission is finally over". Although there were many turmoil along the way, this time, he really had a feeling that after the rainstorm, the wind and waves were calm - there would be no more accidents on the next journey. Whether it's Shinrikyo Dooms, the Nazis, or anyone else who wants to call for the rain, they will all die down and prepare for the next battle. And there is no one left on the Three Immortals Island except himself.

That's what Takakawa thinks, and he trusts his instincts.

So he left where he came from and returned to the surface of the island.

The voyage of Sanxian Island is accelerating, and Takakawa uses this time to recount what he has experienced since the new Titanic set sail. He didn't write a diary story like the young Takakawa, but a mission report. He didn't need to write this report, but since Dorothy had gotten a copy of the diary from the teenager Takakawa by unknown means, he felt that he might as well write something about his own experience, rather than let it settle in the memory data of his brain. And when he began to narrate, he felt that he understood why the young Takakawa wrote a diary, because, when he recorded his personal experience and thoughts, there would no longer be the kind of confusion that was in the illusion and did not know what was real - for himself, what he saw, what he made, what he thought, what he was hurt by, and all these ups and downs of his heart, if it is still not true, then what is real?

If even one's own thoughts are false, then what is one's own personality?

These philosophical reflections will grow little by little from the corners of the mind when I begin to write—the thinking at this time, compared with the thinking that I was forced to carry out during the battle, seems to be different, not only in depth, but also in the perspective of the person concerned and the spectator.

Takakawa looked at his report as if he was watching the choice of a self named "Takakawa" from the perspective of God. Then, he felt that it was okay, and he affirmed his choice. Maybe there are right and wrong choices, and some can't even be said to be right or wrong, but the ego named "Takakawa" is very good, without any thoughts of dodging and running, to face these choices.

As a result, there was a down-to-earth emotion that arose in his heart. It made him feel calm and felt the meaning of his own existence. It was like a luscious but cold spring, dripping from the stalactites and splashing in layers of ripples in the deep pools below, not calm, but not intense, just gently rippling.

Six hours later, the sun set again in the west, and darkness covered the sea.

Before dawn, Sanxian Island reached the waters near Australia, and Takakawa was awakened by the unnatural sound of the sea breeze. He didn't dream, and as he instincted, nothing happened, and the unnatural sound came closer, and he could tell that it was the sound of a propeller. He looked up, only to see a helicopter burst out of the night and into the range that could be seen with the naked eye. The lights on the helicopter flickered and flickered, and soon it made a turn and flew in this direction.

Gao Chuan knew that the other party had found himself. What they are waiting for is not only Gaochuan, but also Sanxian Island. As the helicopter flying from afar became the size of a fist, more silhouettes emerged from the line between the sky and the sea, and communications came.

"Yes, I'm Takakawa." Takakawa replied.

More than ten minutes later, the helicopter landed on a flat spot on Sanxian Island, and Gao Chuan had already arrived here in advance, and in the huge wind and waves stirred by the propellers, Gao Chuan saw that the crew was waving to him and signaling to board the plane. After Gao Chuan sat inside, he realized that someone was already waiting for him in the position in advance.

It was a military man with the epaulettes of a lieutenant general of the Central Principality, and his appearance was about fifty years old.

"Xiao Gao, welcome back to China." With a calm and majestic smile, he stretched out his broad palm to Takakawa.

"Thank you." Gao Chuan suddenly felt hesitant, he didn't know how to call the other party, and he didn't know what to do at this time, although it was not the first time he had seen a big man in the national government, but when facing the old man in his hometown, it seemed that there was a feeling of homesickness tickling his heart.

How long has it been since the last time you were still in China? The number of time displayed in the brain and hardware is actually not very long, but for Takakawa, it feels like he has been gone for more than half a century. Even if this is only the sea near Australia, not the Central Duchy, but Gao Chuan feels that he can already smell the smell of his home city, and at this time, he especially misses everyone who whispers.

"I can't see that Xiao Gao is such a shy person." The lieutenant general looked at Gao Chuan and saw his somewhat distracted expression, so he patted him on the shoulder, "Sit, sit down and talk, we still have a lot of things to ask you, but there are people who want to see you waiting for you." ”

"Eight scenes, they're here?" Takakawa realized who the lieutenant general was talking about. Although the Whisperer had already begun to transform and become more secretive before he left, it was not a mistake to get in touch with the government of the Central Duchy out of personal wishes. Just as Takakawa believed in Dorothy and Omi, he also believed in Hakkei and Sakiya, who managed the whisperers. (To be continued.) )
