1879 Dialogue with Sha
Father Sissen pushed open the round and rectangular doors of the tower, walked through the long hollow hanging staircase, and with each circle, you could see the content of the reliefs on the walls gradually sublimated, they were telling a story that could not be expressed in words, but could only be understood at all, rich information and emotions condensed in each line of the relief, as if it were a historical change in thousands of years, but also like the growth and growth of some inexplicable creature, which was not only the change of the individual, but also the evolution of the group. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Fr. Info Siessen felt as if he was wandering through an uncanny world, and every time he saw something so new, he could create a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen similar fragments elsewhere.
These reliefs are so vivid that Father Sissen suddenly feels that they are always moving, talking, singing, and what is supposed to be the interpretation of the relief, but it seems as if the relief himself is telling. Father Sissen felt that some kind of melody was echoing in his head, and he could not reproduce it into his own voice, nor could he describe the timbre of this melody in his mind, but he felt that there was such an invisible and qualitative being, whose voice was speaking to itself beyond the boundary between matter and consciousness.
It's like -- the gods are talking.
Therefore, Father Sissen also had the feeling that he was talking to the gods. When he awoke from this sensation, he realized that he had left the suspension staircase at some point, and stood in a spacious hall where speech would echo, red all the way to his feet, but it was neither silk nor fur, but only an organic red, shaped like a carpet.
The floor of the hall is mostly made of cold and hard inorganic tiles, and this organic red is embedded in these inorganic objects, giving people a strong sense of conflict, as if it should not be in this place, making people feel like it is some kind of malicious trap, however, Father Sissen is already on it, although there is a feeling that he will sink in, but his body is indeed firmly supported by this red.
Along the red flanks are two rows of heavily armed humanoids, from head to toe wrapped in armor that is clearly made of structural material, and it is not clear whether they are really human because they are completely invisible, but the armor composed of scales and hemispherical structures gives a strong sense of weight, and the undisguised scars and patches on the armor bring a sense of oppression full of gunsmoke - these humanoid guards do not move at all, but Father Sissen feels that they will jump up and rush up at any moment, Clenching the enemy like a hound, he slaughtered all those who were the enemy with a fierce but unflinching momentum.
Although Father Sissen does not feel nervous or frightened simply because of the momentum of these figures, these figures are the first time he has seen them since he worked with the surviving Aboriginal people of the Ruling Authority's ruins. Father Sissen himself is a demonic emissary, and he has dealt with all the security guards that have appeared in the ruins of the Ruling Bureau so far, and he is very sure that these figures are definitely not ordinary security guards, but they do have the feeling of security guards.
It is of course impossible to conclude which of these current humanoids resembling security guards or the existing security guards is more powerful, and it is of course impossible to draw conclusions without colliding, but in terms of feeling, in this critical period of war, these figures that are clearly on his side do give Father Sissen a sense of excitement - as if he has already faced the worst situation, but suddenly turned around, and there was a turning point that allowed his side to continue to persevere.
The presence of these figures in this place at such a time could not have been a coincidence, and Father Sissen was not surprised, because a person who was determined to restart the security system of the Ruling Bureau should have preserved such strength, or could develop such strength, so as not to make people feel arrogant.
Father Sissen walked on a red color that was like a carpet but did not fit in with the ground, and directly in front of him was the classic style of the Ruling Bureau's pipeline structure and cabin equipment, and from the moment he stepped into the red range, what he saw began to change in style: a large number of gears and levers, in the erupting steam, in the wandering electric phenomenon, in a rapid, heavy, but very coordinated way.
The person he wanted to see was at the end of the red, in the area that was specially vacated by the accumulation of pipelines and equipment that spread in all directions. It is said that it is a "human", but it is no longer a human being in common sense, and it is impossible to tell whether the other party was once a person in common sense. Father Sissen, known only as a former "woman" and now known as Sha, is the leader of this indigenous community, the main person in charge of the reopening of the security network, and a researcher and engineer in an agency affiliated with the Ruling Authority.
What Sha's past is is no longer very important, what matters is that what she is doing, and the ability she has to do it, can have a significant impact on the current war, and this influence is enough to penetrate the entire ruins of the Ruling Bureau, and even the Primal Life has not been able to achieve a decisive victory in her hands to fully occupy the entire ruins of the Ruling Bureau.
Even though the Primal Life, with the support of Shinrikyo and the Nazis, now has the upper hand, there is still a third of the ruins of the Ruling Bureau, which is firmly controlled by Sha. No matter what the Body, the Nazis, and Shinrikyo doom want to do, it is inevitable that they will collide directly with Shah. This also means that victory in the war at the ruins of the Ruling Bureau requires the support of Sha.
Father Sissen and Shah have a very deep working relationship, and in such a difficult situation, he also wants to further explore the other party's thoughts and keep the same pace with the other party.
A direct war with the physical life is inevitable, and in this war, it is inevitable to encounter evil people from the Doomsday Shinrikyo or the Nazis, and in any case, it is obvious that you are in a weak position, but as long as you persevere, it may not be impossible to usher in a turnaround. Fr. Sissen did not think about the long-term goal of "how to turn the situation around", but he thought about more realistic questions such as "how not to be crushed by the enemy at once".
How many hole cards "Sha" is prepared for is the most realistic question he wants to know.
Sha's body has changed drastically from the time Father Sissen first met him. This change is not only manifested in the appearance, but also in the contours of the body, the composition of the body, and even the demeanor and demeanor, etc., are very different from what was first seen. Now she is three stories tall, her body is slender, and her body is not made up of organic matter, and there is an inexplicable difference from the usual structures, the back of her head and chest and abdomen are covered by a unique antenna device, and the pipes hanging from the back of her head are integrated with the equipment behind her, and like her long hair, and the lines that extend from her chest and abdomen hang down to the ground, as if they are the same lines that make up the texture of the floor.
What's even more striking is that her lower body looks like it's completely integrated with the ground. Whether it's to describe her as a statue or as a giant humanoid device, it feels apt.
Shah never left the hall after the first security network reboot, only organizing the exploration and maintenance of other areas of the Ruling Bureau by remote control.
Father Sissen's several meetings with Sha, Sha was just like this, she looked up as if she was thinking, as if she was looking, her eyes always seemed to be able to penetrate this closed hall, but from what she had done with the security network, she did have the potential to use the security network system to monitor the entire Ruling Bureau.
In some of the ruins of the Ruling Bureau, where the security network has been reactivated, Father Sissen also believes that Sha really has full control over his territory. As far as he knew, her presence was like a banner in today's indigenous communities, with the authority of a god.
"How long have I been unconscious? What's going on right now? Walking up to Sha, looking up at the three-story tall body and the mask-like facial expression on the head, Father Sissen asked in a deep voice.
"Bodylife has completely controlled two-thirds of the Reign, and they have another way to transform the security net." Sha's face drooped slightly, and Father Sissen felt her gaze fall on his face, "The security network that has been modified by them is extremely exclusive, and I can't use the existing channels and methods to interfere with the security network over there. ”
"Do you still want to complete a full secure network restart?" "According to the information I have received, the physical life is preparing to multiply, and I do not think that in their hands the security network will continue to function as it was before," confirmed Fr. Sissen. ”
"I don't think that the body life can work out the right way to reproduce on its own." A few rays of light appeared in Shana's eyes, which were filled with inorganic hard texture, but his tone did not fluctuate, "There are people supporting them, but it will definitely not be the result that the physical life wants." ”
"Whether it's what they're doing, whether it's good for them or not, and whoever actually is helping them, we're going to stop them." "I want to organize an assault and take the initiative into my hands," said Fr. Sissen. ”
"We don't have the strength to wage an all-out war or a frontal battle with the physical." Sha, who has almost turned herself into the core of some kind of equipment, said: "I tried to observe them, but a sudden and huge shock directly destroyed the observation channel and destroyed almost all the observation data. I only had time to warn you before I was isolated from that area, but I am pretty sure that the impact of that shock would have had a much smaller impact on physical life than on us. They have gained a natural geographical advantage, and we have not been able to obtain any information about them since that onslaught. You should understand what the consequences will be if you lack intelligence support and geographical advantage, and if you are in a weak situation, you will try in vain to maintain the initiative of the offensive. ”
"Yes, I know very well what kind of disadvantageous position we are in, but if we do not take the initiative, the enemy will only become stronger, and the advantage they have so far is enough to calm them down for a while, but in the same amount of time we cannot achieve greater results than theirs." "We can't afford to have a good digestive environment for them. ”
"If we take the initiative, do we have a chance of winning?" Sha was silent for a moment before asking.
"Nope." "But there is a chance that the war will continue until something external changes occur that affect the situation here," replied Fr. Sissen. Those who assist in the life of the body are not transcendent, they also have their own enemies, and they are also at war. From a macro perspective, what we are fighting today is no longer a war that is limited to the scope of domination. ”
"Will we have more support on our side?" Sha further confirmed.
"If we can not be destroyed by the life of the body in one breath, there should be." Father Sissen replied, pausing again, as if remembering something, and said in a speculative tone, "Perhaps...... Whether it's our side or the body's life, the backup is already in place. ”
"Perhaps?" Sha seemed a little surprised, because there was so much uncertainty in Father Sissen's tone, not like the style he had always had.
“…… Takakawa. Father Sissen's expression became serious, "My intuition tells me that Takakawa will come, and I met him on the periphery before entering the ruling bureau. If Takakawa comes, it proves that something terrible will definitely appear on the enemy's side. In his mind, the name "Final Weapon" lingered like a nightmare, "It's always been like this, Takakawa never appears out of nowhere, it's always like something is calling him." ”
"If Takakawa joins, will it produce a different result than expected?" Sha said as if talking to herself.
"It may have an outcome that no one expected." Father Sissen looked directly at Sha's stiff features and said, "But in any case, it is better than the predictable failure." ”
"The unforeseen outcome can be worse than the failure." Sha said.
"But it could also be a better outcome." Fr. Sissen said: "Without the disturbance factor, we would not be able to stop the physical life, and even if we could prolong the war, we would never be able to win. Although this is the case from the perspective of the Governing Bureau, in fact, Father Sissen lied, because he looked at the height of this war, including the existence of non-Dominion forces such as Doomsday Shinrikyo, Nazis and Cyberball.
In this increasingly fierce and apocalyptic war, it is likely that the physical life is not the real victor, but just a pedal.
