Chapter 42 There are many ways

"How can we kill such a [King of Monsters]? Is it to break through the multiple positions on the battlefield, destroy the near-infinite enemy and then take his head? [Impossible]! I think so. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"He's definitely sucking blood, right? Just like an emperor who feasts, this is his greatest weapon and his greatest weakness. Tyrants throughout the ages have drunk poisoned wine because of arrogance. ”

"Major, are you really blinded by the vampire's power?" Aino opened his mouth and asked rhetorically?

"What?"

"Are you frightened by the power of vampires? Mr. Major, Mr. Major who has been preparing for fifty years! ”

"Oh? Why? What do you think, Mr. Aino? For my approach? ”

Unfurnished, the Major waved his hand and motioned for Ano to continue.

"Alcatel before it became a dead river is hard to take down? Can't you seal him up, then? With hypnotic gas, he put his hands and feet in chains, tied his body with ropes, sealed his mouth, locked him in a cage, sealed him with reinforced concrete, and sank directly to the bottom of the sea! Like 100 years ago, like Van Helsing, seal him up. ”

"If it becomes a dead river, it is very difficult to defeat? My wife's weapon can poison the slashed person to death, and if it hits the Dead River of Alcatel, even a drop of blood in it, it will pollute the entire Dead River like an infectious disease, and then destroy it. ”

"Or like those terracotta warriors, keep killing, keep fighting, until all the lives of Alcatel are killed, in this London that has been turned into a dead capital, there are so many inherent lives, every time you kill once, if you don't kill a corpse inside, Alcatel will lose one life, fifty years, with your financial and material resources, the ability of vampire technology researched is enough to create a robot without blood and without fatigue, right?"

"And the battleship you are riding on now, a battleship that can fly in the sky, if you keep using incendiary bombs, depleted uranium shells, and cloudburst bombs to saturate the Alcatel's Dead River, Alcatel's Dead River may be completely destroyed soon, if you are afraid that it is not safe enough, then just use nuclear bombs. Afraid of slipping through the net? What about burning the place where Alcatel exists, inch by inch, burning all insects, destroying all weeds, boiling all the water, and sprinkling white salt on the soil? ”

"Or is it a virus against vampires? What about a biological weapon against blood, which will eliminate him directly from the source? Blood is the currency of the soul, the equivalent of life, isn't it? ”

"Even if you don't have that red light, there are as many ways to kill Alcatel as you can in the state of the Dead River! The method of killing, the method of mass killing, we human beings, there are as many as we want. In the skill of self-destruction, we humans have an unparalleled talent. ”

"Did you say, Mr. Major?"

In the face of Aino's rebuttal, the major fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, he opened his mouth again and made an astringent sound.

"But is that really [killing]? Is that kind of Alcatel really [dead]? ”

"As a general, shouldn't you try the one with the highest success rate? Even if the first time fails, isn't there a second, a third, a fourth? ”

"Yes, that's the case, sure enough, I'm not a qualified general. But it doesn't matter, at least the purpose is achieved, isn't it? You see! ”

As he spoke, the Major pointed to the scenery above the screen and said to Aino.

"The play I arranged was staged. Titled Alcatel the Vampire - a show that is about to disappear without a trace! ”

In the middle of the screen, a Schrödinger in military uniform appeared with cat ears, stood on top of a tall tower, and took out a dagger from his arms.

Without hesitation, he swung the dagger into his neck and thrust it hard, and then sideways everything. The head, the smiling head, left the neck, and then the lifeless body fell from the tower, converging into the river of death, converging towards Alcatel.

"Smack." With a snap of his fingers, the major's face returned to smiling.

"I won! Alcatel yo! ”

"1,000 vampire-incarnated armed guards, the 3,000-strong Ninth Airmobile Crusader, the Thirteenth Section of the Vatican Secret Service, and the Werewolf Force, all of these things were sacrificed to create an opportunity for Alcatel to use the River of Death. Didn't kill him when he was all liberated, and now he doesn't know how many lives he has left. 100,000, or 200,000, or more? It's the same as you said, you can seal it, but there's no way to kill him. Look at it now, watch it, watch how I killed this monster! ”

"Slap" snapped his fingers again, and the major looked at Alcatel on the screen, happily chanting verses. "Extinguish! Extinguish it! A short candle flame. Life is nothing but a shadow that comes and goes. ”

The Alcatel in the picture, after devouring the stone that emitted red light, began to turn into a blood cell, and with the return of the Dead River, the blood cell began to beat and contract like a heart, and finally, countless eyes began to appear, as if awakened, and countless eyes began to emerge from the blood cell, glancing with malice.

"Did you see that? That's my way, let Warrant Officer Schrödinger die, and then be absorbed by him. Because blood is the currency of the soul, the equivalent of life. After absorbing Schrödinger, Alcatel's life is actually linked to Schrödinger's life. ”

"And Schrödinger is a self-aware self-observing cat named [Schrödinger's Cat]. It's also a Cheshire cat who jumps around in a world where its own existence and non-existence are ambiguous. Now, however, he is integrated into the consciousness of millions of beings. He has lost his sense of self. In this case, what will happen to Alcatel? Do you also lose your sense of self? Isn't the answer obvious? ”

"He no longer exists anywhere, neither nor dead. He is now just an imaginary number without consciousness! ”

"I gave everything to finally make him disappear! I've lived my life to this day just for this day! For this moment to come! After repeated defeats and never victory, I finally won the battle for the first time! ”

"It's a good feeling, is that what it feels like to win?"

"No, Major, you're wrong!"

"What?"

"You see, Alcatel didn't disappear after absorbing Schrödinger, but it's still there?"

"How... How so? How so? Really, in the end, it still didn't work out? Looking at the screen, Alcatel laughed wildly and appeared from the blood cells, and the dense eyes that had appeared on the surface had become nowhere to be seen.

"I think it's because of the stone he just ate. Didn't the guy who was killed by the black hound just now drop a glowing red stone? That guy should be the culprit of that red light just now, if I hadn't caused the earthquake and tsunami, that guy would have been the final winner, just take it all. And he melted the Dead River so much, that stone should be the part of the Dead River that melted away. ”

"As soon as I saw it, your Ensign Schrödinger couldn't make the current stone-eating Alcatel unable to recognize himself."

"That's it, it's like this, am I actually failing in this one place? Even in the end, I still didn't get a victory. ”

"What are you waiting for? Mr. Aino, I have no regrets, even if I failed at the last moment, but I have no regrets now, come on. ”

He stood up, his hands outstretched, and just looked at Aino.

"Click!" The crimson spear pierced through the Major's heart, but instead of the sound of a sharp blade thrust into the flesh, the familiar viscosity that came from the spear was not the same.

"Have you become like this? Major. Seeing that not a single drop of blood appeared on his chest, but instead the sheen of metal and mechanical parts appeared, Aino asked.

"Fifty years ago, you lived to the present, and you haven't become a vampire, and I'm still wondering how you survived until now, how you maintain your young body, so that's the case. Have you made yourself a robot? ”

"No, Mr. Aino, I'm not a robot, I'm just turning my body into a machine, I'm still a human."

"Now, Mr. Aino, do you think you are human yourself? What do you think makes a human being? Is having a human body a human being? So can vegetative people, and those wild people, be considered humans? Or are orangutans monkeys also human? ”

"However, I have heard a saying. [A sound soul resides on a sound consciousness and a sound body] such a person is a human being. Monkeys and orangutans do not have sound consciousness, nor do vegetative people. ”

"Just like Freud's theory, man is actually made up of three parts, namely the id, the ego, and the superego. And when the needs in the self arise, the individual demands to be satisfied immediately, so from the principle that governs human nature, it is the principle of pleasure that governs the self, just as in order to live we need to eat, sleep, and excrete. The ego is the individual's differentiation and development in the real environment after birth, and if the various needs from the self cannot be immediately satisfied in reality, he must accommodate the limitations of reality and learn how to obtain the satisfaction of needs in reality. From the point of view of the principles that govern human nature, it is the principle of reality that governs the self. This is the body. The last superego is the highest part of the personality structure that is in a controlled position, and it is gradually formed by the individual's upbringing of social, cultural, and moral norms in life, which is what you call consciousness. Can I translate that sentence of yours as "the sound id resides on top of the sound self and the sound superego"? ”

Aino thought for a while and said, "No, there should be a difference, I think both the superego and the ego can be called consciousness, while the ego is composed of the subtlety of the soul and the instinct of the body. ”

"Sure enough, do you feel the same way? There is only one key to living like a human being, and that is your own willpower and your own consciousness. As long as I maintain my consciousness, even the brain marrow floating in the culture liquid of the glass bottle is all I have; Even the memory circuits in a huge computer are all I have. I'm still a human being—a creature of soul, heart, and willpower! ”

"That's why I absolutely don't agree with Alcatel, that guy, even if he has become a girl and smiles; Even if you transform into a veteran of a hundred battles, you kneel on the ground full of sentimentality! He's still a monster! ”

"He's a monster with a human appearance, and I'm a human with a monster body. I am who I am! I'm a major, not anyone else! ”

"We are different from the other! This is how all the strife in the world comes. Therefore, from the very beginning of the fight, people came, and the strife never stopped. ”

"It's amazing, this war."

"It's really... It's a pity... This war. ”

"No... But... Calculate... Never mind... Nun... Tentatively.. And it's kind of... One... A... Field.. Good... War... Let's fight. ”

As the last words fell, as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted, the major's fat body lay motionless on the ground, completely losing signs of life.

"Desire is stronger than everybody, a stronger sense of self than everybody. Major, you are really a human being, a simple fellow, and you started this war because you don't agree. It's like a child. ”

"But since it's a war, you've long been prepared for defeat."

He said goodbye to the corpse on the ground, and then walked out of the bridge without looking back, and as soon as he went out, the battleship under his feet began to become transparent, and then slowly disappeared. The Admiral, along with Bismarck, officially left this world.

"Huh? Is it solved? Red pupils! In the distance, a figure with a long knife in his hand walked towards him, with traces of dirt and gunsmoke, but no scars.

"yes, Aino, where's the black pupil?" Walking in front of him, looking at Aino who was alone, Red Hitomi asked.

"Sister, Aino, I'm here, I've found something good!" The voice of the black pupil sounded from behind him, and when he looked back, he walked over quickly with the [Eight Rooms] in one hand and a box in the other.

"Black Hitomi, you're okay, right?" Looking at the black pupils who came over, the red pupils walked over worriedly, looked at them carefully, and asked.

"It's okay, although that big dog is very powerful, it's a pity that he is bent on death, so he didn't get serious at all, and used his real strength to fight."

"Oh? Are you all left here? What about Walter? What about Andrew? What about the captain? And what about the major? Suddenly, an arrogant and delicate voice interjected and asked directly.
