Hearing Tang Ze's words, the three people who were also very shocked looked at each other a few times.

"Ocean tank, that is, this is not actually a sea, but an unusually large water tank?" Hoshikawa Teru repeated Karazawa's conclusion, "However, Noah didn't say that there was a trench in the terrain, it was very vast......

"Yes, indeed. Moreover, it is the deep sea without any living things. Tang Ze wiped his face, "But it's really a huge tank, just like in an aquarium." ”

Although the dugong arrow in his hand played a vital role in avoiding water, he was actually not contaminated with the slightest amount of seawater, but after swimming in that environment for a long time, it was difficult not to feel covered with cold and damp, and Tang Ze now felt that his breath had to be fishy.

"And haven't we been looking for a long time, where is the shadow of the islanders in that impression space? According to the experience of Moon Shadow Island, this kind of independent small impression space, the shadows of the island's inhabitants should be installed here. Tang Ze recalled the scene he had just seen, and was silent for a few seconds, "I found it." They're all outside the tank. To be precise, they were all lying on the glass wall, staring motionless into the tank. ”

"So, the impression space here ......" Imagining the scene he saw a little along with Karasawa's description, Akemi Miyano couldn't help but shudder at her imagination.

"The impression space here is an aquarium fish tank shaped like an ocean." Tang Ze gave the final conclusion with certainty.

The vast, cage-like sea and the eyes that clinged to the glass and stared at her......

This may be the real situation that Kimie Shimabukuro is facing.

The quiet suffocation, the pain of being bound in a cage by a silent gaze......

It's no wonder that the slightest fluctuation in Shimabukuro's mood will weaken the barrier again and again, whether it is to break free from the cage or destroy the bystanders outside the tank with a flood, breaking this barrier will be her first priority.

"So, has your other guess been confirmed?" Asai Narumi said calmly, "Regarding the difference between her and my situation at the time. ”

This question is also one of the reasons why Tang Ze chose to let Asai Narumi exchange experiences with Kimie Shimabukuro.

Approaching Shimabukuro Kimi, on the one hand, they really want to give this unfortunate shrine maiden some support and help as before, and on the other hand, let Asai Narumi assess Shimabukuro Kimi's state.

The main thing is to compare his own psychological state before revenge, as well as Shimabukuro Kimi's.

"When you see those shadows, it's basically confirmed." Tang Ze lowered his head and looked at the arrow that he had been holding in the palm of his hand.

An ordinary short arrow, perhaps due to its ritual symbolism, is carved with a scrolling pattern on the tip of a sharp metal arrow, like a cascading cloud or a surging wave.

Above the cluster of arrows, a long gray-white hair, thinly wound into a loop, was properly pinned to the body of the arrow.

Tang Ze blinked, his pupils filled with a crimson hue, and in his field of vision, the arrow emitted a gentle circle of colored light, like the secret treasures he had seen many times.

Looking at the direction of the halo, it is clear that it comes from the strands of hair that are wrapped around the arrow.

When he held this arrow, the vision of many worlds about to merge seemed to lose his ability to affect him, and when he opened the third eye, he no longer felt as if he was about to fall into the sea.

"Did I explain it to you? About the relationship between Alloy X and the secret treasure in the temple. Turning the arrow in his hand, Tang Ze said slowly, "The secret treasure in the hall is the root of the desire of the hall master, the core of the desire, and the starting point of all persistent will, so as long as you take it, it can be regarded as separating the spiritual connection between the source and the person...... You should all know that. ”

The three of them nodded in unison, not questioning the passage.

It should be said that this is the basic science popularization that they will learn from Tang Ze when they become the monster thieves of the heart.

Regarding the cognitive world, about the temple and the shadows, although this concept of the supernatural side is full of agnosticism, Tang Ze will still try to explain this side of the world to them with his own understanding, so as to avoid any accidents due to the lack of information among his teammates.

"Well, so, on the question of what is Alloy X...... For the record, the following are my conjectures, and whether they are true or not is up to us to see. In order to prevent the stitching world from giving him any tricks, Tang Ze first folded a wave of armor, "Since the impression space is actually a 'public temple' composed of the collective subconscious of human beings, do you think this palace will have its own secret treasure?" ”

When the three of them heard this, their expressions were frozen for a moment, and they looked at Tang Ze, who had left time for them to digest.

After a while, they understood a little bit of Tang Ze's meaning, and they all looked at the brooch on Tang Ze's scarf that still exuded golden brilliance in the night, and their pupils shook.

"That is, the X alloy, most likely, is...... A treasure of humanity? It's not right, how to say it...... "The most uncontrollable Hoshikawa Hui took the lead and couldn't hold back, nodded Tang Ze's brooch, and became a little incoherent.

"Just understand what that means, it's just speculation after all." Without dwelling on the issue of the broken Holy Grail, Tang Ze went to the point he wanted to say, "I now think that there may be an essential difference between the situation of Shimabukuro June and Narumi. By the time we arrived at Moon Shadow Island, Cheng Shi was the hall master who had been controlling the impression space of Moon Shadow Island for a long time, even if he didn't know about it. ”

To put it bluntly, at that time, Asai Chengshi was essentially a powerful hall master.

The hall master, whether it is him or his shadow form, it is impossible for him to exude a treasure light - who do you think is Sakura Futaba? Even if it's Sakura Futaba, people themselves don't shine!

Tang Ze looked at Asai Narumi, who was wearing a feather weave and was in the form of a strange thief, and raised the arrow in his hand again.

"The aura of the secret treasure on Shimabukuro Junhui is too strong, shiny like X alloy." Tang Ze intuitively described the scene he saw, "And she doesn't have a palace, this is the most critical problem." We can't assume that it is also a case of integration of the temple and the impression space because of Cheng Shi's case...... What's more, Cheng Shi only used his own hall to block the entrance of the impression space, and the real impression space was just wrapped in his palace, and the two were still two incompatible spaces. ”

"That's why you think giving her alloy X will not only not affect her, but may in turn cause the alloy to deteriorate?" Asai Narumi, who was shouted by Tang Ze as a Chengshi and another hall master, breathed a sigh of relief and asked out loud, "Do you think that she is actually the secret treasure of this impression space, not the hall master?" ”

"That's right, I think that Shimabukuro Junhui actually has an intellectual nature now, and the impression of the secret treasure of space itself." Glancing quickly at the rag doll with blinking eyes in his hand, Tang Ze said solemnly, "No one stipulates that the secret treasure must be inorganic, does it?" ”

"But, wait a minute, it's a bit weird......" Akemi Miyano, who was said to be in the clouds, raised a hand, "Then since she is the secret treasure of the impression space, why would she want to destroy this place?" According to what you said, the temple was actually born in response to the secret treasure and created the source of desire, so she and this place should be more one? ”

"That's right, the secret treasure that everyone is looking forward to has given birth to a heart of resistance......" Tang Ze squinted his eyes, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "And now Shimabukuro Junhui is using his authority to do the first priority of every conscious secret treasure."

"- Merge with the real world and hold true authority."

"Huh? Desire rebels against consciousness itself? Strange assumptions...... "Gray Yuan Wai reacted violently when he brought the coffee to his mouth, "Then again, don't you sleep when you travel, it's already 2 o'clock." ”

"I can't help it, I'm just done. Didn't you sleep too? Glancing at Hattori Heiji behind him and in the room, Tang Ze shook his head and continued to call softly, "Theoretically, do you think this speculation is valid?" ”

"This ah......" Knowing that Tang Ze's question was likely to be related to the actions of the Monster Thieves, Gray Yuan sighed, put down the coffee cup, stepped on the soft slippers, and walked to the computer, "I may need to check some information to give you a definite answer, but in my personal understanding, it is indeed possible." ”

"Even if this rebellion could bring destruction?" Because he was worried about being careless, Shimabukuro Junhui had a nightmare and was directly washed away by the sea, so the strange thief who simply stayed up all night with SP medicine said worriedly.

I have to say that a good island, because of the complex human nature collision, it is about to be washed alive, and human beings are really crazy and messy with this world.

In short, if it is not necessary in the future, it is better not to run to the island casually.

The closed environment under the concept of cognitive world, combined with Kexue's interpersonal relationships, is really capable of raising Gu, and all of them are genuine Sleeping Dragons and Phoenix Chicks!

"Well, after all, the desire to destroy is also one of the desires that human beings hide deep in, and it is even as important as the desire to survive." Clicking on the folder, Gray Yuan Wai skillfully flipped through the contents of the documents inside, and replied seriously, "The desire to live, and the desire to die, always pulling in thought, this is complex human nature." Desire is in conflict with consciousness and can also be considered a norm. ”

People who want to save themselves will also try to give up on themselves at some point, and people who want to commit suicide will also try to send a signal for help while dying at the same time.

Human beings are undoubtedly thirsty for survival by nature, but at the root, they thirst for death.

Perhaps it is consciousness that has evolved in response to biological nature, or perhaps it is some kind of valve for regulation, this is human consciousness itself, which is contradictory and self-consistent, complex and full of danger.

"Therefore, cognitive science is something full of unknowns and dangers." In the crisp click of the mouse, Gray Yuan said with emotion, "Whether the transformation of people's cognition into reality will bring good things or bad things is completely in the hands of those who grasp it." The more you dig and get in touch, the more you will find this. ”

"Why, when you find out what power you have, do you feel terrified because of your research?" Hearing the slight confusion in her voice, Tang Ze asked rhetorically.

"When you find out that something you make, pressing it, is the button that will destroy the world, anyone can, right?" With a sigh, Gray Yuan said in an old tone that was diametrically opposed to the immature voice, "I used to think that if crazy researchers like us really all died, it might be a good thing for the world. ”

"Don't be so pessimistic, Shiho. Like you said, people want to live and die at the same time, and it's normal for people to think of this kind of thing, isn't it? Feeling a hint of the faint version of the gray plain mourning revival, Tang Ze said quickly, "So you should usually go to bed early, and when you stay up late, it's easy to think too much." ”

Unlike her, who was supposed to embark on the road of self-abandonment and low desire to survive, now Gray Plains Mourning, Akemi, other family members, and new friends, the desire to self-destruct should be reduced a lot.

Perhaps, this kind of philosopher-like speculation is the nature of her character, and it is inevitable that she will fall into nothingness or self-denial because of some grand issues.

But if Tang Ze wants to say, with her routine, it is not strange that she will be depressed from time to time.

Working late at night, it's really easy to emo.

"I don't want you to say that, the guy who is still busy here at 2 o'clock." With a snort, Gray Yuan Wai chuckled, "Okay, I'll send the information to your mailbox." No matter what you're doing...... Stay safe. ”

"Don't worry, my sister and I are fine."

"Go to bed early, what can't be solved during the day, you can't stay up late."

"The same goes for you."

Looking at the email messages that popped up on the screen in front of him, Tang Ze shook his head.

"It's impossible to sleep, it's like this in the Juan Wang family." Muttering, Tang Ze tightened the crack in the door behind him, opened the paper sent by Gray Yuan, and took out a new coffee, "Saying that the coffee made by Amuro can +sp, how can I not be surprised at all...... Don't talk about it, open the book! ”

————

"Just go to the roster and change it, is that okay?" Toyama Kazuha's eyes widened in surprise, "Won't it be too much trouble for you......"

"No, I'm bothering you." Shimabukuro Junhui put down the ribbon in his hand and wiped his sweat, "The festival is about to start, I'm really busy right now, I'm really sorry." ”

"Ah, yes......" Looking at the small packages that were tied up one by one by silk behind Kimie Shimabukuro, and then at the red sun that had not been born long ago, Kazuha Kazuha and Maolilan, who were standing in the cool breeze of the early morning, exchanged a look.

I've been busy for so long, it's really hard.

"Just give us the list of customers, okay?" Hattori Heiji, who got an unexpected answer, couldn't help but let out a "huh".

"It's just a roster without any real information about the guests...... Even if they don't want to leave their real names, there's no way I'm going to check their IDs? With a joke, Kimime Shimabukuro picked up another amulet and other supplies, and neatly typed a new package, "I'm sure you won't mess around, after you change it, just put the roster back." ”

I don't know why the thieves would ask for such an extra thing......

But even if it is regarded as a reward for a meal of wine with her, it is a matter of effort.

Shimabukuro-kimie looked at the five children standing in front of the shrine one by one, smiled and showed them the way, and lowered his head again to prepare new materials.

Although she has no intention of continuing the work of the shrine maiden, her thoughts about this island have gradually turned from attachment and nostalgia to rejection and fear.

However, she promised her mother, and she resisted such a responsibility, so as long as she was a shrine maiden for a day, and she was still presiding over the festival for a day, she had to do what she had to do well.

The dugong festival is the largest source of income for the shrine, and since the arrival of tourists, the demand for amulets and other items produced at the shrine has exceeded the supply.

Their small shrine with little incense is used to get by, and it is these meager incomes that cannot be neglected.

And this year, it may be the last dugong festival on the island.

Think of it as a good memory.

The busy shrine maiden continued her daily work, and a few flattered high school students slowly probed into the shrine's warehouse.

"It's surprisingly big, the warehouse here ......"

Yuanshan and Ye opened the door and walked in tentatively, and soon saw the neat notebook on the cabinet in front of them.

"Wow, that's a meticulous record." Leaning closer and looking at the year of record written on the spine, Hattori Heiji touched his chin, "It's been so long ago." ”

"Maybe it's an island tradition." Mao Lilan also sighed, and quickly found the latest roster, and together with Yuanshan and Ye, turned to the latest pages.

"Well, there are indeed records, these two names are the couple who canceled the plan."

"Just erase it?"

"I'll take a look at the previous record...... Oh, just use this patch. ”

"Uh-huh......"
