Chapter 344 "It" and "Angel"
"The essence of 'It' is a kind of 'sculpture', but it does not belong to any recorded sculpture category. Not long after it was created, The fanatic believers' lack of understanding of the diary caused 'it' to lose control."
"As time went by, 'it' began to absorb extraordinary power, constantly iterating and updating itself, and became. A special supernatural creature that far surpasses fanatics and any kind of sculpture..."
"You can imagine that a group of crazy experimenters created something that should not exist in the first place. This thing has the characteristics of all known angel sculptures, and may also have some 'logic' of its own, and the existence of this thing cannot be said to be 'out of control', because it is not under 'control' once it appears... ..."
"The relationship between 'it' and this place is like you raising a mythical creature in the Amazon rainforest. Under normal circumstances, it won't come out if you don't go in, and they barely get along with each other. But if you If you enter the rainforest, you may cross its territory and be killed by it..."
"Uh..." Lin Yi wiped his sweat and asked weakly, "Old Mo, could this 'rainforest' you are talking about be..."
"Ahem, That's right..." Lao Mo said coquettishly, "This is where we are now - the last section of the road leading to the Art Building."
"But don't be afraid, if nothing happens. , there is no way we will encounter it."
Lin Yi pursed his lips as if he had seen a ghost: "Although...is it really okay for you to set the flag at this time?"
Old Mo curled his lips: "I'm just comforting you..."
Lin Yi: "...Okay, then what?"
"Then, this road is actually one of the ways for 'angels' to invade the campus." Lao Mo said, "Because of the existence of 'it' , On the contrary, it restricted the 'angel' to a certain extent..."
"It is protecting the campus?" Lin Yi was surprised.
Old Mo shook his head: "There is no protection at all. It's just like the mistress originally had a child, but adopted another child. The two children don't deal with each other and dislike each other. ."
"'Angel'... is an extraordinary life form that was born from the root. Among all known ideologies, there is no existence closer to the root than 'Angel'."
< br>
"And 'it' is man-made, and we do not rule out the possibility that when the 'apostle' was observing the source and 'him', he thought he had observed it, but in fact he was just observing some higher level." 'Angel', and then I can't say for sure if I record it..."
"'It' might still be a pirated version of 'Angel'..."
Lin Yi's mouth was a little dry: " Then... how strong is 'Angel'? ”
“I don’t know. "Lao Mo shook his head, "Just like you can't say a mosquito is strong just because it bites you, nor can you think a lion is not threatening just because it didn't attack you..."
"Those things, it seems. There is a certain kind of 'logic', and as long as you avoid that logic, you are relatively safe. ”
"Only when you face an 'angel' face to face do you realize how terrifying an 'angel' is."
Lin Yi asked: "Is this why there are various rules in the campus?"
Old Mo said: "Absolutely... Some people's rules are to protect them from angels, but experience students will not encounter those complicated situations at all. They only need to follow the most basic rules. The following rules, They are all written according to the depth of your pollution. "
"In general, the existence of rules is to allow people to protect themselves when extraordinary events occur."
"For those who know it, it is called 'extraordinary', but for those who do not know it, it is 'weird'. Do you understand this?"
Lin Yi nodded: "So... if we take its scales, we will not be attacked by it, but on the contrary, it will attract the attention of angels?"
Lao Mo said: "Don't think too highly of it. You're on your own, I said they have their own logic. If you're lucky, you can dance under their noses and still be safe..."
"What you mean is, if you meet an angel, , let’s bet that there are no bullets in his gun?”
“If you insist on saying that, that’s fine.”
Lin Yi was silent for a while, and then said: “Old Mo. ”
"Huh?"
"You said...what exactly is an 'angel'?"
"I don't know either. If I knew, I might become an angel."
"Uh... what about 'angel sculptures'? What does they have to do with angels?"
"It doesn't matter." Lao Mo said, "Although they both contain the word angel, their essence is They are two completely different things... They are called angel sculptures because they look like angels.”
"The alien angel..."
"You know a lot, you know a lot. Being an experienced student is a waste of talent. Are you a special talent sent by the government?" Lao Mo glanced at Lin Yi.
"Huh? I'm not..." Lin Yi shook his head blankly and wanted to say more, but Lao Mo interrupted, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the government has also sent some Many people come, even if you are, I can understand."
"I'm not afraid that you are an official, but I'm afraid that you are not."
Lin Yi was stunned: "Uh... Huh?”
Lao Mo ignored Lin Yi's surprise and just got back to the point: "The angel sculpture, like 'it', is also something made by fanatic believers... Because fanatic believers can't control 'it', so they try to make something that can be controlled." The angel sculpture was tinkered with."
"So...the angel sculpture is controlled by fanatics?"
"Uh...not either."
After saying this, both Lao Mo and Lin Yi fell into rare silence.
“……”
"So..." Lin Yi also became depressed, "So what the hell are the fanatic believers doing? It sounds like there have been several failures... Is the technology tree going astray?"
Old Mo also shrugged speechlessly: "I have never been a fanatic, and I don't know what you are talking about. As for other things, we cannot accurately understand their intentions. After all, their brain circuits...are different from ours. They are different.”
“After all, they are just a group of mutated life forms in human form. If you use human standards to judge their moral standards and behavioral logic, you will easily suffer.”
< br> "The reason why we can deal with the fanatics on the other side of the Matrix is because they still have some humanity. When the extraordinary power and the fanatical worship of 'him' completely swallow up their sanity, then they will also become truly crazy. Crazy believer."
Lin Yi subconsciously said: "'Real crazy believer', what is that?"
"Uh... Strictly speaking, I'm still a fanatic."
Lin Yi showed a face-covering smile...
"The overlord among beggars is still a beggar"
>
That’s what it means... Lao Mo said: “Just like the position, the more fanatical the fanatic believer is, the purer the pollution characteristics exuded from the body, and the more clearly it can be perceived. Yeah, those kind of fanatics are very repulsive. If you meet them, you have to teach them some truth.”
As soon as he heard "reason", Lin Yi subconsciously glanced at the butcher knife on Lao Mo's waist.
"I guess no one is dissatisfied with Lao Mo's principles, right?"
"By the way, Lao Mo."
"What's the matter?"
" If angel sculptures are out of control, why do fanatics continue to create them? ”
Lao Mo thought about it seriously, and then said: "When a group keeps repeating something that seems meaningless, we should not focus on the appearance of the event in front of us, but think about it. What's the meaning?"
"The existence of the Raging Angel is to check and balance the physical education department."
"The boss mentioned supporting the Art Building, right, the Raging Angel is used to suppress the physical education department. With their own combat power, they will not be allowed to reach the Art Building smoothly."
"It doesn't matter whether they are under control or not. As long as the goal can be achieved and they will not attack their own fanatics, then it will be fine. It can be mass-produced, just like..."
"Just like the days when he was numb and discharged pollution into the sea?" Lin Yi secretly swore.
Lao Mo was stunned for a moment: "Little days...? More than 20 years have passed, and there are still remnants?"
"Ah? More than 20 years? Remaining remnants?" Lin Yi was stunned, what is going on?
Old Mo said doubtfully: "When various major events broke out in X999, I didn't even survive the first wave before sinking into the island. Now it has become a super dark zone. This Such history, how could you, a person sent by the official, not know about it?"
Lao Mo has already acquiesced that Lin Yi is an official.
Lin Yi touched his head, full of confusion. Why did the history that Lao Mo knew and the "history" he knew seemed to be different? And not only Lao Mo, others kept mentioning it. What happened in "1999"?
Seeing the confused look on Lin Yi's face, Lao Mo was silent for a while, and then he seemed to understand something, and immediately shook his head: "Forget it, forget about that... let's talk about things on the 'campus' "
"The Angry Angel feeds on the extraordinary power of 'materialization', so it is particularly sensitive to athletes and those who cannot control themselves."
Lin Yi said hesitantly. Angels don’t have to attack fanatic believers at all?”
Old Mo said: “As long as the units that come into contact with the matrix aura will generally not be targeted by them.”
“Then we are safe. ”
Old Mo glanced at him and said with unceremonious contempt: "The breath of the matrix is like perfume, and your extraordinary power is like body odor. The body odor is too strong and cannot be covered by ordinary perfume."
< br>Lin Yidao: "So only the fanatic believers here will not be attacked by the angry angels, but those living outside will still be attacked?"
Old Mo nodded: "Just like you at noon, in the shadows Just like a hidden smiling angel, the angel sculptures have their own preferences for 'food', but in essence, they are not picky about food."
"When you are only vegetarian, it doesn't mean you are not vegetarian at all, so you understand. Right?"
Lin Yi nodded.
Lao Mo added: "Actually... the 'angel sculptures' created by fanatic believers are, strictly speaking, only raging angels."
"Other types of angel sculptures are not They weren't created by them."
Lin Yi couldn't help but frowned: "Then where did the others come from?"
"The alien angel is a snowball-like aggregate of pollution... …The bigger the snowball is, the more difficult it is to fight against.”
“The Laughing Angel is a phenomenon where pollutants penetrate the layer… Their entities are out of sync with the layer you see. Looks like a ghost.”
When Lin Yi heard this, he couldn't help but think of the scene where the Laughing Angel materialized: "So they can actually materialize to a certain extent?"
Old Mo nodded: "Put them out of that layer Just pull it out, but this requires a deep level of contamination, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Therefore, in most codes, it is not recommended to fight against the angel sculpture, it will only make people escape and save themselves first."
< br>"Those who are able to fight no longer need to follow the rules. Those who are unable to fight can just follow the rules to save their lives."
"Ouch..." Lin Yi suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. Information can only be obtained from seniors on the established campus, and you won't be able to get it by exploring on your own.
“What about ‘it’? What should I call it? Doesn’t it have a name?”
Lao Mo asked: "Which one?"
"It's the 'snake' or 'dragon' entrenched here."
"Can't say." Lao Mo shook his head He shook his head, thought for a while, and added, "Especially in this area, it cannot be said that the fanatic believers gave it a name when they created 'it', but then they didn't say anything about it. ..."
"Theoretically, it should have forgotten its identity anchor, so it was trapped here in another way, becoming one of the barriers to intercept the angels."
"If it retrieves its true name, it is very likely to escape from here through another anchoring method."
"However, we have another name for it..."
Lin Yi's eyes lit up: "What name?"
Old Mo said: "I'll tell you after I leave here. , before leaving, if you want to mention something related to 'it', just use "big snake" as a temporary name. "
""Orochi"...Okay. "Lin Yi nodded.
The two of them continued to walk forward. The mist surged in the dense forest. The scene in front seemed to be separated from them by many layers of gauze. The ancient trees exuded a scent of gauze. The eerie atmosphere makes people feel uncomfortable from time to time
As he walked, Lin Yi couldn't help but have a strange feeling, as if he was being watched.
However, in his perception, there were no sculptures, nocturnal species, or even pseudo-human beings at all.
With Lao Mo here, he looked around doubtfully.
At first he didn't notice anything unusual, but gradually, he noticed the thread-shaped annual rings formed in the cross-sections of the mist-shrouded ancient trees, like a pair of old trees. Looking around like a pair of eyes.
He was sure that his mind was very fresh and what he saw was not an hallucination, but no matter how carefully he looked, all he saw were weird eyeballs that he couldn't tell whether they were bulging or sunken. .
One after another, weird eyeballs were hung all over the branches. It was okay not to look at them, but the feeling of gaze made me uncomfortable. Once I saw them, my whole body began to have that strong feeling in my bones. I feel so disgusted that I want to rush over and pick them out one by one and stomp them before they explode.
