Restricted Doomsday Syndrome Chapter 787: Visit

The prosthetic body Takakawa and Sakiya dive into the night, Marceau’s address is marked on the retina screen, and the navigation map is unfolded in the virtual field of view of the prosthetic Takakawa, blending with the observed scenery data. There is too much data flowing in the retinal screen, where he passes, detailed environmental records and judgments are integrated through the brain hardware. In a very short period of time, he can make him familiar with the surrounding environment like people who have lived in this place for many years. Even if you don't look for Marceau's whereabouts, you must be familiar with the place where you are temporarily staying in advance. No matter whether the war will start in this city, the investigation at this time is a powerful supplement to the whisperer database.

The air in this city is not very good. In the past, there used to be another name for "Mist City", which means "a city shrouded in mist all year round". The reason why the fog is formed on such a scale is not related to environmental pollution. . However, in occult culture, this term originally used to describe air quality has another meaning. "Shrouded in the mist all year round" will produce all kinds of weirdness. The mist is also mysterious and terrifying, and it will kill people. From a long time ago, there have been many weird and strange stories produced in this city, and a considerable part of the modern and modern weird things in the world are based on this city. For people who live here all year round, smog is not a favorite climate, but for outsiders, the foggy city is even more full of romantic reveries.

Although entering the end of the twentieth century, this city has made environmental management one of its development priorities, and moreover. After a long period of persistence, it has been quite effective. The past impression of being shrouded in fog gradually faded from the feelings of the locals. Although the haze weather cannot be completely eliminated, the air in the city is indeed much better than in the past. However, compared to the city where the whisperer is located, the environmental standard here is still slightly inferior. Of course, for more people, the impression is still in the past of the "Mist City". It is not because of the influence of well-known works in the past that I still retain a romantic expectation of mysterious and weird things in my heart. However, for Gao Chuan, the data of environmental quantity is actually presented on the retina screen.

There is no heavy fog this night, but the water vapor is still thick. Half a month walked through the thin clouds, and the light cast was like being filtered by a light gauze. The wind is so strong that you can clearly see the flowing clouds sliding like a layer of ice floating on the dark water. When the wind passes through the narrow lanes, it will make a slight whine, but the noise of the city will cover it up. Looking down from a height, it is like a crowd rushing through a maze of boxes. When the strong wind came, there was an immediate pause, because many people resisted the sudden wind. Takakawa and Sakiya leaped between the buildings, like two giant birds gliding in the concrete forest, and the two of them looked from a bird's eye view. Observing the operation of the city.

In this era, various observation devices based on technology. Satellites, cameras, and even mobile phones can record the status quo of the entire city at the required time. Generally speaking, in London in an alert state, it is impossible to avoid being monitored and locked by most things. From a physical point of view, they will be observed with professional and non-professional observation instruments, and even people’s eyes. Even the fluctuations emitted by themselves, such as heat, cold light, radiation, electromagnetic waves, etc., can be Technology creation is locked.

However, there is only one situation in which the current technological creations are completely impossible, and that is "mystery." Yoshikawa Takakawa and Sakiya do not have the professional mysterious power to hide their whereabouts. However, when they are unwilling to be "seen", it seems that there will be a kind of "mystery" covering them. Under normal circumstances, both Will not be noticed by most people. This is what the whisperer noticed after many actions. Although the others of the whisperer attributed this phenomenon to an inherent characteristic of the person with mysterious power, the view of the corpus Gao Chuan went deeper into the essence-the end of the day. All the "mysterious" nature of the environment is the intervention of spiritual consciousness. In this world composed of the personality consciousness of patients with doomsday syndrome, it is a phenomenon that cuts into the "world essence" most, and those who master the "mystery" It is a source of interference that is stronger than "ordinary people". Existence itself will oppress those "ordinary people". Even if he doesn't take the initiative to do so, when he has such an idea, he will realize it from the "collective subconscious." Interference based on one's own thoughts.

In a normal material society, every thought of people will affect others through behavior, and in this world where the essence is ideology, every thought of people can have an impact on others without behavior . The complexity of this world lies in the superficiality and directness of the mutual influence of this consciousness.

Everyone is always affected by the will of other personalities. Even if the two parties don’t know each other, there is no substantial contact, no action to interfere with others, even if they just lie quietly in bed waiting for death, this kind of deep level The mutual interference of ideology is also continuing, and this kind of influence sometimes manifests itself in an observable surface form—that is, weird and mysterious.

The body Gao Chuan, counted as another Gao Chuan based on his personality at this time, and the existence of "Jiang", its interference source is so strong that it is almost the pinnacle of this world. Even if he doesn't do anything deliberately, when he has the idea of ​​"covering his actions", his actions will naturally be ignored by most people, and from a certain perspective, what can pay attention to him must be Holder of weird and mysterious powers.

Although there will be many mysterious power holders stepping into the city after the cyberball sends out a note, but there are still three days before the meeting, how many people came to this city, and the number Relative to the population density of this city, it is difficult to say what proportion it can occupy. At least, to release one's power this evening, it should be enough to expose the two of them to the vision of too many people in the circle.

Like ordinary tourists, it is also a good choice to take the transportation in the city to the destination, but. The field of vision provided by vehicles that can only travel on the ground is too narrow, and the two of them are not real tourists. When you already have a clear goal. Mercedes-Benz at high altitude, overlooking the city, this more efficient way is the first choice.

Of course, Yita Takakawa and Sakiya are very sure that the Internet ball must have received the corresponding news when they and others arrived in London. If the other party cannot monitor the immigration situation, it is almost impossible not to monitor the immigration situation. Even without being noticed by ordinary people. However, the net ball should be able to observe the actions of one's own side, but since the other party has not come forward to stop it, it is the recognition of the current behavior of the two of them.

Testing, detecting, inferring...all actions are not only one effect, action itself. Based on the response of the other party, all kinds of information can also be obtained. This way of thinking has been deeply imprinted in the bones of Takakawa and Sakiya. Although some information will not be used immediately, or even fragmented, cumbersome and seemingly meaningless, squeezing in the brain will only make people feel suffocated. Sakiya is only screening the parts that he thinks are necessary, but for the prosthetic body Takakawa who has brain hardware, he does not have to worry about the limitations of memory and thinking ability.

The brain hardware is running fast, and a large amount of data streams are fed back on the retina screen. It's like a supercomputer, combining these trivial pieces that are unbearable by ordinary people one by one. Form a clearer context. The city, in his eyes, is like a huge weird, agitated non-stop along with the breathing and heartbeat of the citizens.

The speed of the pseudo-speed sweep was fast enough, and the two persons, Takakawa and Sakiya, made a slight detour to explore the surrounding environment of the destination as clearly as possible. Ten minutes after leaving the hotel, the two people turned out from the shadow of the alley. Some night owls stayed where they passed, and they were shocked by the two who appeared like ghosts. Some people who are drunk, or have extremely rude and violent personalities, start their hands without saying a word, and the end is naturally not much better.

Even Sakuya who hasn't turned into the Ashbringer is not something ordinary people who seem to be tall and mammoth can handle. With enough combat experience, her men have no enemy at all. When the two returned to the normal street, what remained in the shadow was a wailing sound.

Marceau is not a native of London. The address found by Bajing is a somewhat old three-story apartment. There are graffiti and advertisements on the exterior walls of the apartment building, which have been around for some years. There is no management office in this building. All people living here pay rent to the same landlord, but the landlord does not live here. The landlord is a middle-aged woman. This apartment building is not her only asset. However, in the online rental information, only this building has a clear price and photo.

Because there is no special management office, no matter what happens to the tenants in this building, you need to deal with it yourself. If there is a power outage or water supply, the decoration is damaged, there are guests visiting, or someone is murdered in the room, the neighbourhood will not pay attention to the matter before it becomes obvious. It is a rather indifferent residence.

Marceau had a well-paid job in the world line in the past, so he was able to become a funder of Omi. In this world line, just like Sakiya, Hakkei, Shirai and Morino, her situation is slightly different. However, before leaving to come to London, she should have accumulated a considerable amount of savings, and she also sold it. After finding the real estate in the United States, Bajing did not find any news from the intelligence network that she was in debt. To be precise, before she left, she broke off all the connections in the United States, sorted out all the debts, paid off all the favors, and came to this city in a clean and blank posture-but this in itself It's a weird place. If nothing special happens, no one will cut off their past so simply and neatly.

As if, like escaping from something.

The retinal screen of Yibo Gaochuan presents various data about this apartment building. Marceau's intelligence is filtered in his mind, trying to put together a more complete pattern. Sakuya looked around, pedestrians under the street lights hurriedly passed behind them, buses had been stopped, and private cars were very rare, mostly pedestrians. The night was cold and windy, many of them put their hands in their coat pockets and hung their heads, as if thinking about something, while those wearing hats lowered the brim of their hats, and they were indifferent, as if they were rejecting anything except themselves. Other things.

This place is colder than the city where I live on this night of the season, which makes people feel that the weather is a little weird. The night fog is not dense. But it was still entwined in the open space one by one, moving with the wind. Sakiya put the hood behind his head. I tidyed up my hair that was messed up by the wind.

"Go in." Gao Chuan said to her.

"Yeah." Sakuya nodded, and accompanied Gao Chuan to the iron ladder on the side wall of the apartment. The clanging metal sound was slightly louder in the wind, but neither of them had the strength to step on the stairs. The atmosphere became a little tight because of the sound. Nothing tried to attack the two, and no dangerous anomaly was observed for the time being. However, this kind of "must be vigilant" atmosphere does exist, and, with the rhythmic sound of stepping, it becomes more and more intense.

Sakiya put his hand in his pocket and grabbed the pistol inside. She wanted to bring the bear puppet, and if she had any chance, she could also become an ashen messenger, so that it could come in handy. However, after the raid against the Goat Guild, Gao Chuan strictly restricted her use of the Rorschach mask. It was the first time she grabbed the handle of the gun since she gained the ability to transform. I haven't practiced for a long time. Will the quasi-head regress too much, right? Thinking of this in her heart, she suddenly became a little nervous, like a heavy armored soldier accustomed to wearing armor, suddenly not adapting to being a light infantry.

However, when her gaze fell on the mature back of Gao Chuan. I couldn't help but relax a little.

The sound of the two people's footsteps is because of the iron ladder. It sounds too loud to them, but it is true that no one goes out to join in the fun. In this quiet night, the apartment building fell into darkness and silence. There were no lights that stayed up all night, and the prosperity in the distance did not bring any fluctuations here. The only thing that illuminates the road is the street lights not far away, the moonlight that has passed through the clouds. Unlike the vitality of the city that never sleeps when you look down from the sky, this area is like the dead skin of the city.

They went up to the third floor without stopping, and walked to the end of the room. The door plate was already skewed, and the mottled and stripped numbers were faintly visible in the dim light. It’s here. Gao Chuan carefully observed that the doorplate was not replaced recently. The dust at the crack of the door has not been cleaned for a while. Many similar details are listed on the retina screen and summarized by the brain hardware. Detailed conclusions. He stretched out his hand to straighten the doorplate, grabbed the doorknob and twisted it twice. As a result, the handle made a clicking sound and easily separated from the door.

The door is made of iron. Observing from the edge of the door lock, there are also traces left by soldering. Generally speaking, the handle with the lock should be pulled out without extraordinary power or corresponding tools. Possible thing. However, Gao Chuan did not use much energy, so he pulled his hand out. The two looked at each other. The part of the handle inside the door was brittlely rusted, but if Marceau lives here, there is no reason not to turn a blind eye to the rusty door lock, and the door lock can rust to this point. This level is definitely not a normal thing.

"It is made of stainless steel and the anti-rust paint is intact." Takakawa said to Sakiya: "It seems that the intruders are also quite violent."

"If it is a force that can act on the human body, that's really a terrible ability." Sakiya shrugged and gently pushed the room away. After confirming the weirdness of the door lock, the tight atmosphere disappeared a lot. Even if he hasn't entered yet, Sakuya already has a feeling that there are no people, no ambushes and traps inside.

After the two entered, Moonlight found the switch of the light, but after repeatedly turning it on and off several times, the light did not turn on. Kokawa took out the lighter from his pocket and lit the flame to scan the room, while Sakiya turned around and closed the door again. Now, there seemed to be only two of them left in the room. In the observation of linkage determination, this matching single room with a size of only 40 squares constitutes a model on the retina screen ~IndoMTL.com~, and the neighbors on the other side, as well as the room below, the observed data are quite normal—— They are ordinary people with normal work and rest.

Sakuya walked through the bathroom and toilet, and went around the room again, and found several unusually rusted metal objects, as well as some deliberately damaged items, including paper, porcelain, plants, and There are two fingers.

"Fingers belong to a man." Gao Chuan's retina screen immediately identified: "The destroyed thing...looks like it's decayed."

"The decadent power regardless of material?" Sakiya frowned.

"Apart from fingers, there are no more signs of fighting and no blood stains." She went on to say, "What is destroyed is more like being affected by leaked energy."

"I didn't find any more clues. They were all destroyed by the decayed force." Gao Chuan took out a cigarette and lit one for himself. His face was still calm in the swinging flames. His situation did not exceed his expectations. It would be better if the enemy was a simple character, and it would be better if Marceau hadn’t had an accident. However, even if there were not enough clues to confirm Marceau’s situation, and The enemy also seemed to have some strength, and he wouldn't be alarmed. (To be continued...)
