Restricted Doomsday Syndrome Chapter 1259: Gatekeeper

The corpses and the traces of fighting left in the range I was looking for indicate that Father Edward is not the only person here to conflict with Doomsday Shinrikyo. Even more mysterious organizations are attacked here, and they are not at the same time, and their enemy is by no means a fixed party. The attackers did not come from a single organization, which also means that there is no specific organization occupying this place. Since even the Doomsday Truth Sect cannot forcibly divide its sphere of influence here, that of course means that even if you go to a higher level, there is absolutely no power that can forcefully occupy a certain level.

Although it's just a vague and suspicious idea, the traces of my scene are a bit like after coming here, the mysterious organizations of all parties have caused civil strife. Attacks by foreign enemies are not the main cause of the many casualties in front of them, but because someone suddenly attacked their own people. However, if every mysterious organization that comes here has a civil strife, the civil strife itself must have a deeper meaning.

I dare not say what the internal structure of other mysterious organizations is. However, the internal structure of Doomsday Truth Sect is extremely solid. Facing such an unfamiliar environment, it is another secret action. When dispatching a team, its personnel must also be screened. Such a Doomsday Truth cult team can't avoid civil strife, and it seems that all the mysterious organizations are also the same, it can't help but make people wonder what weird things they have encountered.

If the civil strife is due to some kind of "mystery", it can be relieved. However, when I stand here now, I no longer feel the "mysterious" aura.

The tower itself must have some kind of "mystery", the previous attack. It also proved that there were some powerful weirdness, but after the battle, these unusual smells disappeared unknowingly. only. The incomprehensible corpse and battle traces in front of him were not easy to take lightly.

I tracked down the places where these corpses fell and connected them together. Naturally, it was the path that other mysterious organizations passed. They seemed to be walking while fighting, and the reason why I didn't encounter more attacks. It seems that it is precisely because these people have cut out many threats and opened up a way through farther. Some people began to appear in the corpses, with some identities in their costumes. The deaths of these people were different, but most of them couldn't preserve the entire body. I tried to find some useful things in the pockets of these corpses, but they seemed to run out of ammunition and food. All the things that kept secrets were destroyed.

In these corpses, as seen before, there are not only the attackers but also the attacked, and the two are not entirely hostile organizations. On the contrary, many of the two parties involved in the death match are obviously from the same An organization. One party is filled with despair, madness and fear. It’s hard for me to imagine what happened to the face that would collapse until this point. The other side remained normal, seeming to be puzzled and puzzled that the attacker turned out to be his own, but he remained rational and calm, let alone. Because the other party is his own, he hesitated. The deceased did not die because his fighting will was shaken, but the assailant who became crazy for some reason took his own life as a bet. Forced to kill the other party.

After examining so many corpses, I am even more certain that the attacker had been killed in the beginning, or was already delirious. This kind of feeling is a bit like facing the believers of Doomsday Truth, but. The madness of these attackers is different from the madness of the followers of Doomsday Truth. I can't make it clear, I just vaguely feel that the difference between the two craziness is not the behavior itself, but the source of the craziness.

The source of the madness of the attackers also brought a terrible sense of despair to these people, and other negative emotions that could make them suicide. These negative things were so strong that they were so suffocating that they made these attackers look hideous. . In this ideological world, the attacker's will was almost destroyed by such a strong and terrifying negative influence.

Just seeing the appearance of these corpses, I can hardly imagine what it is that would have such a strong negative effect on a determined mystery expert. Theoretically, mystery experts will collapse, and the reason is rarely due to external forces. Even in the past doomsday illusion, feeling the unstoppable progress of the doomsday, and fate-like malice, the mystery expert has never collapsed like this.

They must have encountered terrible things in the tower. Its terrifying degree may far exceed the "doomsday process" that they can feel. On the other hand, among these collapsed and crazy people, there are cultists who recognize the doomsday, believe in the doomsday, and promote the doomsday. Then, the terrible things they encounter may be enough to destroy their beliefs. thing.

The people of Doomsday Truth do not fear sacrifice, nor do they fear the end, nor death. Although today’s Doomsday Sect is no longer the original Doomsday Sect, its philosophy is quite different from the fundamentalism represented by Father Xi Sen. But the doctrines it follows are still evolved from fundamentalism, and they are still expounded with the truth of the end of the day as the core. Whether it is fundamentalism or current reformism, believers of the Doomsday Truth sect have their own systematic interpretation of the truth they believe in, which is sufficient to construct a solid psychological line of defense for believers. From the perspective of hospital reality, this morbid but self-contained evil teaching theory is precisely the result of the subconscious changes of patients with doomsday syndrome. However, it is precisely this gradual change that, to a certain extent, the morbid consciousness that caters to the overall environment of this doomsday illusion has suffered heavy losses in the face of something unknown.

Since the terrible things they have encountered are enough to destroy everything they believe in, then, it is also certain that its existence may make the truth of the end of the day no longer have a positive meaning. That must be something beyond the "doomsday process" in the sense of existence.

Did they see "Jiang" and "Virus"? I thought so, but I immediately denied it. I don't think that "Jiang" and "virus" will be presented to them in the most direct way. In other words, I don't think that "Jiang" and "virus" can be completely observed. The part that can be observed by the people in the hospital reality and the doomsday illusion must also be based on their own position and limited to their own limits. And the part that can be seen. And this part, it is of course impossible to completely destroy their belief and will.

Similarly, the Doomsday Truth cult has once called a certain monster from the depths of the collective subconscious mind of mankind, and the fear that that monster gave me has also proved that it is closely related to the "virus". It may be a phenomenon or a manifestation of existence that is closest to a "virus" that people can observe in terms of ideology. However, since it can be observed and felt by the mysterious expert in such an "individual" way, it means that its intensity is limited to this.

And exist in the tower. That terrible thing seems to be higher than this intensity.

I'm not sure. It is also possible that the two cannot be compared, just let the mystery experts who come into contact with the two see different things, and one of the things that can be seen and felt can be accepted by the mystery experts. The other party cannot accept it. It is limited to whether it is acceptable, not a mystery.

A huge revolving stone ladder connects the two levels, going upwards, with a loop radius of 20 to 30 meters, leading to a place that is not known how high. On the steps, a large number of corpses were also left, and some of the steps collapsed. However, most of them are still very stable and have not been damaged to the point of crumbling. A part of the broken place is connected by the flesh and blood alienation of the Saya virus, and these flesh and blood alienation parts are not as aggressive as the flesh and blood alienation zone that they have passed through. It can even be said that there is no offensiveness, and the alienation of flesh and blood seems to be just because of the ladder of connection destruction, opening a path that can be passed normally.

Fr Edward and others who passed by here didn't mean to completely destroy this passage.

When I finally saw the exit, it felt like more than an hour had passed. Because there is no logo. So I don't know at all, which floor I am on at this time, but I can be sure that it must be in the tower. The closer to this exit, the fewer dead bodies. Arriving at a gate that was ten meters high, there was no trace of fighting.

The appearance of this door is simple and robust, with many patterns, but many lines are very obscure, making the pattern look like this at first glance, but when you carefully consider it, it becomes a different look, the same with There is a strong sense of suggestion. Just when I was about to open the door, a voice rang from behind: "Hey, you guy, it's better not to open that door."

The voice was old and weak. I turned my head to follow the sound and saw an old man with scars leaning back in the corner, as if he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He lost a leg, the hastily bandaged wound, and the blood has soaked in the bandage. He hit the flint with great difficulty and wanted to light the pipe, but he repeated it tremblingly several times before he could light the fire, and the flint also Falling to the ground because of unstrength. He ignored it completely, just stuffed the pipe into his mouth with a sense of relief.

Before the old man spoke, I didn't see his presence. I checked the surroundings carefully. When I first came, there was really nothing in that place. But in a blink of an eye, the old man appeared in that place, like a ghost. The timing of his speech, and the strange and coincidental appearance, all reminded me of a special identity that often appears in the occult——

The gatekeeper.

The old man stays here just for this door, and only appears for people who want to open this door.

His attire is not the style in the normal world. On the contrary, it is very similar to Old Hawk’s. Coupled with the exuding temperament, I think that it may be the same as Old Hawk’s. A caring person who keeps fighting at night. His tone and actions were not malicious, but he obviously didn't want me to open the door, some of which must have said. It is precisely because of his interruption that I realized that the things that exist behind the door may be related to the deep night. In other words, this tower hides the secrets of the deep night, and proves, Even in the deep night and even this nightmare itself, it was not the work of a mysterious organization, but a situation that had existed earlier.

The mysterious organization opened the entrance to this nightmare, and tried to use the existing situation in this nightmare to promote its own plan. However, the plan itself may need to be involved in the deep night, so that they also suffer The backlash in the deepest night can explain why they left so many corpses here. They are very interested in the deepest night, because this deepest night is of course a terrifying "mystery".

Mystery organizations and mystery experts are willing to spend a huge price. It is not difficult to understand such a "mystery".

Perhaps, the reason that makes the mysterious experts go crazy is precisely because they have indeed come into contact with the secrets of "The Deepest Night" here. Or it may be part of a secret.

So, I asked: "There are secrets of the deepest night in it?"

"In the deepest night?" The old man said slowly, as if his energy was lacking. "Oh, yes, only those who pursue the deepest night. Will leave the shelter and come to such a place..."

"Do you recognize Old Hawke?" I asked.

"Hawk? That old ghost?" The old man heard the words and let out a deep owl, "Yes, of course I know. What about you? Who are you?"

"I am Old Hawk's successor." This is my most common identity in this nightmare, but in fact. Old Hawk didn't actually entrust me with anything. I just acted according to my own will.

"Heir? He is dead?" The old man was a little surprised, but his tone was not surprised. "Yes, hunters will always die. If you die, the deeper the night, the end will only be The worse it will be. So, boy, did you follow his will to come here?"

"No. I came here by my own will." I said, "What's behind the door? Also, what floor is this?"

"Own will? Humph." The old man smiled disdainfully, as if mocking this statement. I immediately knew what his next sentence was. The facts were as I expected. He said: People who come to the tower are not out of their own will. There is a voice that is tempting you, but you subconsciously ignore it. Why don't you look deep in your heart carefully? Your behavior really follows your own. Will it?"

I don't want to hear him say this. Everything he says is based on his own position. And he, like Old Hawke, is obviously the one who lives in this nightmare. But I am different. For me, this is just a "nightmare".

"Ha... a determined hunter." He seemed to understand what I was thinking, but he let out a sigh. It's like laughing at me, and it's like laughing at myself. After a while, he said: "Well, let me tell you, behind the door is what you are looking for. It has always been here, no one can take it away, and no one can interfere. It represents the deepest night. Inevitably. I used to think that when I arrived here, I could find a way to end everything, but after seeing it, I realized that the reason why I arrived here is not as I once thought, because of my own will. It is beckoning me, and I can’t resist, and can’t stop it...no one can stop it." In such a low voice, the old man lifted off his crow-like wing and took out a musket. I saw him. A long knife was also hung around his waist.

"Do you want to fight me? Why?" I asked calmly.

"Because I don't think people should walk through this door. That is definitely not something people want to know." The old hunter said categorically: "Compared to dying in regret, dying in ignorance, It should be a better ending. When I came along, I saw a lot of crazy corpses, right? The corpses left from the past and the corpses that fell down not long ago are all because they saw things they shouldn’t have seen."

"They walked in the door, saw something, and then all went crazy?" I asked in a deep voice.

"Exactly." The old hunter said, "I can't stop too many people, but they can't take anything in the tower."

His words proved what I was thinking of. Those mysterious organizations that have been in business for a long time have come here earlier, and they are also here, and they have encountered terrible things. And such things are just behind this door. Although the old hunter repeatedly emphasized the terrible degree of the thing, and there were many corpses in front of him to prove it, of course I would not retreat. This "nightmare" is full of mysteries, and the characters in the deepest night, and the roles they play, are full of hints. I have to come to this high tower to seek possible answers.

I can indeed do nothing. I have always thought about forcibly keeping Dr. Ruan Li and Marceau by his side, waiting for a major change that will affect the entire repeater world, and then using the power of "Jiang" to win. However, in the end, I couldn't ignore the other people I met on the road, even if the other person was just a passer-by in front of a more ambitious goal. Similarly, my personality and inner thoughts also prevent me from forcibly changing the people I love and interfering with their choices. What they did, even if I couldn't agree that it was right, but I couldn't be sure that it was absolutely wrong. In other words, I have always felt that it is these personalized choices that make them what they are. I just hope that when they think they have made a mistake and want to change, they can stand by their side and extend a helping hand to them.

Yes, I can do something that may be done once and for all at the beginning, or I can do nothing from the beginning to the end. "Jiang" is in my body, no matter what I do or don't do, the result may not be what I expected. And what I need to face, and the inescapable situation, even if I don't want to, will naturally appear in front of me.

But even so, I still make some decisions that are not so necessary because of the circumstances around me. Just like now, this "nightmare" and the so-called "deep night" do have a deep hidden meaning and are involved in a wide range. It can be a trap or the key to the process of doomsday. However, I can really ignore these and stay out of the matter. I have many reasons to push myself to include the current situation as a necessary part of the plan, but from other perspectives, there are also many reasons to exclude the current situation from the plan.

In a very large sense, the existence of a phenomenon based on a "virus" does not matter at all, just because of how I look at it. Because of this, I can't really ignore it.

I think it is necessary to protect the patients, to understand the secrets and influences of the night, and to understand the plans that other mysterious organizations are planning, so I stand here.

The words of the old hunter cannot shake my will.

"Where is the tower?" The old hunter finally stood up on one leg, and the difficult movement made him look no threat. He said as if talking to himself: "I don't remember anymore, but maybe behind the door is the last...I hope that is the last. If something like that is just some kind of illusion that hides the truth, then, the truth How terrible is it?"

"The truth?" I followed his movements, drew out the long knife, and asked calmly: "What the **** is the truth? The truth in the deepest night? Or the truth in this world?" Suppose the old hunter Knowing that this is just a "nightmare", and it is conceivable that I understand ~IndoMTL.com~ what kind of existence this "nightmare" really is, and thus be hit hard, is also conceivable. Everyone knows that the world he has been living in is nothing but an illusion, an illusion. Everything he loves and pursues, even himself, is just a doomed illusion, and he will definitely feel very confused. Bar. Just as I am still unable to truly affirm the authenticity of the "hospital reality", and further adopting the theory of "real aspect", this is not the reason.

However, even if I was just an immature mystery expert in the past, I can resist the subversion of the "doomsday fantasy" by the "hospital reality". In my opinion, what the old hunter encountered should not be a situation of "knowing where you are is a nightmare". What did he see? So, let him be sure that it is the truth, and do his best, with a kind of goodwill, but threatened with death, to prevent others from contacting the truth that he saw?

"Probably... it is the truth of the deepest night." The old hunter said in a low voice, "and the deepest night is the reason for the existence of this world." As soon as his voice fell, he raised his hand and opened fire. .

Boom----
