Chapter 198: Emergency Meeting in Jerusalem
An emergency meeting in Jerusalem, in Valhalla, where the top leaders of the Shinshin Church and the Nianshi Guild gathered.
This is a rare build-up that only occurs in times of major crisis.
Now is the time for a major crisis.
"Andro is dead. These were Pissarro's opening words.
He touched his chest with one hand and mourned Andro's death.
There was silence. People were shocked, saddened, and puzzled.
The Pope and the captains and vice-captains of the Hand of the New God were also present, touching their chests with one hand and mourning in silence, even if the organizations were different, but they were both teachers of Jerusalem, and they naturally shared the same hatred for the enemy.
"Andro was killed while visiting Snow Country. Pissarro continued, "We are in a major crisis, and according to the news from the teacher who was there at the scene, as well as the analysis of the news that Andro came back before he died, the crisis level is level two. ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
When Jean reported on the crisis, she classified it as Level 3, but in fact she underestimated the severity of the problem, and after receiving information from Andro desperately, Jerusalem had already rated the crisis as Level 2.
"The country has been affected by darkness, deeply, for at least a century. Now there is a Resident Evil on the island, the exact cause is unknown, but it is certain that the dark element is rapidly invading the human body, and almost everyone in the country has become degenerate. ”
Everyone was in an uproar again, how could there be such a powerful biochemical weapon, this is simply a nemesis of the teacher.
"The history of this country is right in front of you, so please take a look at it. ”
"The world's garbage dump?" asked Hong Lingbo, glancing at the information.
"Yes, that's right, the Snow Country is the former Yunlai Kingdom, before the appearance of the country of Yunlai, it had no name, but was commonly known as the world's garbage dump, before the end of the world, due to the problem of garbage disposal, all countries dumped garbage there, so such a continent was formed. Lu Qiuyu, who was dressed in a black dress, was in charge of introducing the situation, she held the information and replied with one hand on her glasses.
At the same time, directly above the conference table, a three-dimensional image of the snow country is transmitted. Viewed from tens of thousands of meters in the air, the outline of the island nation takes on an almost standard rectangle, which is the result of artificial reclamation. With an area of about 70,000 square kilometers, the island's geomorphological features are also very contradictory, with snow-capped mountains in the north and jungles in the south separated by a line. The land is dotted with quarries, and it is not known what minerals are being collected, or simply to dig up garbage that can be reused.
"Hey, I look like I've seen this island!" someone said abruptly.
Everyone turned their eyes to Director Chai.
It is rare that Director Chai did not fall asleep at this meeting, and he usually sleeps at every meeting. Not only did he not fall asleep, but he was pointing to the slowly rotating snow island in the three-dimensional image, and his face was surprised.
The Pope suppressed his displeasure and looked at Pissarro.
Pissarro was also a little embarrassed, the members of the guild were so unruly, and it was indeed a bit embarrassing to talk nonsense.
"No way. Lu Qiu Yu Tiekou bluntly asserted: "The country of Snow has been closed off for a century, almost without any diplomacy with neighboring countries, and it is in a special climate zone, shrouded in fog all year round, so even if an airship passes over it, it is difficult to see its true face." ”
A low laugh rang out, and someone laughed at Director Chai's nonsense.
Director Chai scratched his head, a little puzzled and a little confused, but still muttered, "I really saw ......"
But where have you seen it? I don't remember.
"Due to the country's isolation for many years, we have very little information in our hands, and we don't have much information about this Resident Evil, so we have sent an advance reconnaissance team to collect more information......" Lu Qiuyu ignored Director Chai's nonsense and continued to introduce.
"Hey, I remembered!" Director Chai interrupted Lu Qiuyu's briefing again.
Lu Qiuyu frowned unhappily.
"It won't be on your old calendar. Someone whispered.
"Hahaha......"
"What is a wall calendar?......
"Seriously!" the Pope patted the table.
"Chai Baojian, can you provide some meaningful information?" asked Pissarro.
"I remember! I've seen this island in the world!" Chai Baojian said in surprise.
The laughter gradually stopped.
The inner world, which is a forbidden place for almost all teachers. Of all the people present, only Director Chai had gone in alone, and only he could go.
Natalie must know more. ”
Pissarro nodded and called out to the air, "Natalie." ”
At the far end of the conference room, in front of a row of empty chairs, a light suddenly appeared, and in the light sat a half-grown girl, a virtual image, wrapped tightly in Arabic-style headscarves and clothes, and the various gold and silver jewelry on her body shimmered with stars, and the white veil covered her face, and her face and expression could not be seen clearly.
The girl was Natalie's projection, and she stood up, "I'm here, what's the matter?"
"Natalie, do you have more information about Snowpiercer?"
"It's all on paper. "The information about Snow Country in front of everyone was compiled by Natalie.
"Well......" Pissarro muttered for a moment, "maybe I'm asking the wrong question, have you ever seen this island?"
Natalie looked at the projection on the conference table and nodded, "I've seen it." It's one of the clearest landscapes I've ever seen in the world. ”
"Can you see it clearly in the inner world?" asked the Pope, preemptively, with a little surprise.
"Yes. Natalie nodded.
"Why didn't you report earlier?" said the Pope angrily.
"I don't know what this has to do with it. There are so many numbers in the world that if I put them all on paper, I could fill the whole of Jerusalem. There's been no information to focus on, so I don't know what to report. Do I need to do an assessment for them? ”
"Forget it. "How clear is it in your field of vision?" the Pope asked. ”
Many people are very confused about the Pope's concern.
"It used to be like a veil through it, but in recent years it has become clearer and clearer, and now it'...... It's like you're there. ”
The Pope and Pissarro looked at each other and gasped.
Pissarro waved his hand, and Natalie's image faded.
"Hey, old man, why do you care about this, and what does it have to do with the crisis to be able to see this island in the inner world?" asked Ace Rivett, staring impatiently at the dead fish's eyes.
After a moment of silence, Pissarro and the Pope looked at each other and made a decision.
"Looks like it's time for some science. Pissarro said.
To answer this question, we need to start with what the inner world is. And to explain the inner world, we must first explain the nature of Jerusalem. ”
Pissarro stood up and paced in front of the stage.
To explain the nature of Jerusalem, we have to begin with darkness. ”
"Jerusalem is the base camp of the Nianshi, what does it have to do with darkness?" someone asked.
Pissarro reached out and pulled down a writable holographic whiteboard from a height.
"Darkness invades our world and pollutes the human spirit, but where does this dark power come from? Has anyone ever thought about it? Like all energies, it should have a source.
"Yes, that's right, I think a lot of people know that they come from a place called the Shadow Realm. Sometimes, when the celestial spheres meet and the stars change, there will be some crossings between the two realms, so we can see creatures from the Shadow Realm, such as the Halberd Floating Dragon. Through these creatures, we are able to guess what that terrible world looks like.
"And this terrible shadow world is actually bordering our world, and the meaning of bordering the land is different, this is a border on the spatial level, and everyone can also understand that this material world in which we humans live is surrounded by the shadow world. ”
He drew a circle with his fingers, representing the material world, and the outer part of the circle was automatically colored in black to represent the shadow realm.
"Darkness has always wanted to annex the material world, just as secular nations compete for territory. Their method is familiar to us: to infect the newborn with a gossamer qi that robs them of their telekinesis, and thus the entire world. But because of the existence of our teachers, they have never succeeded for many years. ”
The spirits of everyone were lifted, and a sense of pride arose.
"Not only did it never succeed, but there was a glorious period in history, and there was a war between darkness and darkness, and we had the upper hand. Our predecessors not only defended the human world, but also conquered cities and even took a territory from the shadow realm. ”
Pissarro pushed his finger on the circle that represented the material world, and pushed out a small bulge, and the white circle extended a small piece to the surrounding black, representing the expansion of the territory.
"Do you know where this piece is?"
Everyone was silent.
This piece is the New Jerusalem. ”
Silence, shock. This is an amazing piece of history for many people who don't know about it.
Humanity occupies a small territory in the Shadow Realm and forms the current New Jerusalem, what a glorious history it is, and the great talent of the predecessors of the Nian Master is really admirable.
Pissarro did not elaborate, and there is no detailed record of this history in the history of Jerusalem, because this is the end of the world, and many historical records have disappeared with the end of the world. But he knew that it was not the unknown who created this great feat, but the gods that the Protestant Church had admired and believed in for generations.
The so-called god was originally a human being, even if it was as strong as a god, once in history, he was actually just a human being, a human being with mental power.
And Jerusalem is actually a piece of territory that the gods led by Nian God to snatch back from the Shadow Realm, which is why it is so special.
"Jerusalem is a purely spiritual world, completely different from our material world, and so special, precisely because its essence is not the material world, but the shadow world. It's in the Shadow Realm. ”
The dome of Valhalla opens to the sides, like an astronomical observatory, revealing the artificial sky of Jerusalem.
People looked up and looked at the sky.
Pissarro stretched out his hand, as if erasing the artificial sky with a large invisible eraser, revealing a dark undertone. In that chaotic darkness, thunder and lightning flashed, and various images overlapped, like chaotic three-dimensional projections.
All kinds of dark creatures swam in that darkness, and the number of halberd-eating floating dragons that were rare in the material world was terrifyingly large, and they were swimming in groups, like a galaxy. And the people sitting in Valhalla are like small fish and shrimp in a spherical fish tank.
This is the best demonstration of Pissarro's narration.
People were shocked, this scene has a very powerful impact on those who do not know history, and they can't help but feel creepy when they learn that they have actually been on the territory of the enemy army all along, and it is a "strategic salient".
"A thousand years ago, when our predecessors laid down this land, they were faced with such a space. Living in this space, you will have severe hallucinations and suffer great mental torture. But the benefits of this spiritual space are also undoubted, it can connect people's spirits, separate our spirit and body, realize communication beyond distances and borders, simulation training, rapid learning, experience feelings that cannot be experienced in the material world, etc., which is of great significance to us. In addition, they had to defend against a counterattack from the Shadow Realm, so the seniors decided to build a fortress in this space, a city where the capable could survive. ”
"Building a city in a spiritual world like the Shadow Realm is an unimaginable feat, and the difficulty is understandable. Moreover, as a fortress on a strategic salient, it must have strong force and a very high level of automation. Eventually, these intrepid pioneers found a way to construct the 'rules' using their own ideas as building materials and using the energy of 'data' inherent in the Shadow Realm to construct the New Jerusalem, a complex city that could operate autonomously. They spent hundreds of years making this place suitable for human habitation. ”
With another wave of Pissarro's hand, the image of the Shadow Realm disappeared, and the dome of Valhalla, which had never been opened, and the artificial sky of Jerusalem was not something that could be erased by wiping it off.
It turns out that these are Pissarro's "illusions", which obscure people's vision, realize the effect of the dome opening and the sky erasing, and skillfully use the "illusion", Pissarro creates an illusion like a special effect in a movie, which is a very good teaching demonstration.
Regarding the creation of the gods, Pissarro was actually concise and did not elaborate, in fact, in history, the reason why the gods conquered this place was because there was a city here, and the gods got more than just a spiritual space after they fought down. There is also a ruin. It was on this ruin that the founders used the inherent "rules" to build the majestic city of New Jerusalem.
People came to their senses. Reminiscing about the shock I just experienced, I still have lingering palpitations.
The Pope then took over at the right time: "And it is the gods of the Neotheon Church who created all this. The gods are no longer there, but their will has been inherited, and that is the spirit of our Neotheism. Praise be to the gods!"
The members of the Neothemon Church saluted in unison and shouted in unison: "The New God is above!
It was their salutation to the gods.
Pissarro was not interested in the religious habits of Protestantism, but he was not interested in the religious habits of Protestantism, but he should have respect for the gods, whether he was a member of Protestantism or not. Because their great deeds are truly impressive, they are worth remembering, and the Protestant Church honors them in the form of religion, and the Nianshi Guild has its own way.
Pissarro touched his chest with one hand and saluted: "Fearless of evil, drive away the darkness, rather die than give in, defend my thoughts!"
The people of the Nianshi Guild were also enthusiastic and spoke in unison.
"But why is this New Jerusalem divided into the Inner World and the Inner World?" asked Musashi, the captain of the New Hand of the Gods.
"That's what I'm going to talk about next. Pissarro returned to the podium.
"The Founders built the city of Jerusalem on the basis of their minds and rules of energy, data, which is the energy that exists in the Shadow Realm, is harmful to humanity and therefore inaccessible to visitors. So the creators hid the data in the data, and the place where the data was hidden was the inner world.
So, Jerusalem is actually divided into two parts, one is what we see now, the colorful city that looks like the material world, which is called the surface world. And the other part is where the data energy runs, which is the so-called inner world, and the essence of the inner world is actually the shadow world. It's the darkness of chaos. Pissarro pointed out of the sky.
"Hardly anyone was able to survive there, except for Natalie and the one we were able to incarnate as data, Director Chai. And because it is connected to the Shadow Realm, it is equivalent to the forefront between us and the Shadow Realm. ”
Pissarro pointed to the top of the bulge on the board.
"As I said before, the shadow world and the material world are bordered, and at certain moments, the two will intersect, in fact, every moment can intersect. The shattered afterimages that Natalie saw in the inner world were the projections created by this intersection of spaces. But theoretically, only afterimages should be seen, and clear and stable images should not be seen, because they are all ripples in time and space. Therefore, if Natalie can clearly see an island that really exists in our physical world...... "Pissarro paused and said solemnly, "then this island is already in the shadow realm." ”
People are confused and puzzled.
Pissarro paced a few steps, pressed his fingers to the whiteboard, and pushed inward from the outside of the circle that represented the material world, creating an inward depression. If the outward bulge represents the territory of the material world's expansion into the shadow world, then it is self-evident what the inward depression represents - the territory that the shadow world has encroached upon in the material world!
"The darkness struck, and instead of attacking Jerusalem, they dug out a piece of our material world, as the god had done to them! This piece is the mist-shrouded, closed snow country!
Pissarro woke up the dreamer with a word.
