Extraordinary pedigree

Through the message from [Nautilus], Xia Xiu quickly understood the function of [Cave Fable].

In short, [The Allegory of the Cave] is a collective cognitive manipulation Meme that affects all residents of a specific area at a specific time, and only outside observers can recognize it and avoid being distorted by contamination.

Its core technology and principle is to use the Mimu group developed by 0-13 to form a huge [cognitive barrier] against the target. These barriers will wrap up the target like a cave, and everyone's cognition will be fixed in one They couldn't turn their heads and could only see one wall of the cave.

The entrance to the cave is behind them, but they have never seen the world outside the cave.

There was a flame behind the men, and between them and the flame there was a road with a low wall.

The road is the way to [truth], the flame is the interactive [message channel], and the wall is the fixed [cognitive barrier].

The operators of the cave never take the initiative to show up or preach. They just project the shadow of the message on the cave wall through flames. The people who are fixed can only see these shadows in their lives, so they think these shadows are reality and the real thing. object.

Those within the walls can only ever see the truth that the cave owner wants them to see, and only those who detect the deception can walk that path and step outside the barrier's influence.

When he walks into the outside world, he will be dazzled by the sun at first, but gradually, he will see a more real and beautiful world.

But, he will go crazy.

He could have endured the darkness if he had not seen the sun. Yet the sunlight had made his desolation a newer desolation.

When he returns to the cave and tells the others the truth of what he saw, the others will not believe him and even laugh at him, because the only world they know is the shadow, the world within the cave walls.

In the end, he will be defeated by nothingness.

This is Judith Iscariot’s [Angel Project].

Knowledge of a concept, object, or entity is anomalously erased from the memory of the affected species, and the [Easy Angel] can only be recognized by outside observers not exposed to the influence of the Meme Swarm.

Through [Allegory of the Cave], Heaven will be able to carry out [Group Logic Castration], [Strengthening Cognitive Barriers], [Cluster Memory Distortion], and [Large Area Memory Clearance].

Individuals affected by the Allegory of the Cave retain memories of their interactions with the Forgotten Object, but their brains are unable to construct the context surrounding it.

Therefore, even if the affected person is able to recall events related to the forgotten concept, these memories become fragmented and lack logic and coherence - and these forgotten objects can be basic science, advanced mathematics, thaumatology, aether observation , even history disciplines, literature...

Not only do memories of forgotten concepts become vague and difficult to describe, but affected individuals often experience intense counterintuitive and psychological discomfort when trying to recall the details of related events.

This memory loss is long-lasting and self-sustaining, and even if the affected person is re-exposed to the concept, they will forget it again as soon as the topic is changed.

Through the above actions, the kingdom of heaven will complete the euthanasia of a certain civilization that is attacking.

Death in the mind is more terrible than death in the body.

This is the [Angel of Peace Project] of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the [Parable of the Cave] is just one of the development projects of this project.

"When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you..."

After reading all the messages related to the Angel of Peace, the fourth sword holder in Heaven lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Like, really fucking like.

This agnosticism, this cosmic terrorism, this intellectual pollution, cognitive distortion, supernatural perspective of observation...

As long as we change the way humans used to talk to gods in the past, it will be even more similar.

The Kingdom of Heaven (gods) has unimaginable power, a purpose beyond the understanding of cave civilization (human beings), and its existence and actions are often beyond the understanding of cave civilization (human beings).

In front of the Kingdom of Heaven (gods), the cave civilization (human beings) will become insignificant and meaningless. What they will face is the fear and despair of the unknown and unknowable horror.

Facing the Kingdom of Heaven (gods), the psychology and perception of cave civilizations (human beings) are full of limitations. When facing the supernatural phenomena created by the Kingdom of Heaven (gods), their reason and common sense are so fragile and insufficient to rely on.

Once the positions are reversed, justice will also show its fangs!

Those who fight the devil should be careful not to become the devil; when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.

To a certain extent, the Kingdom of Heaven is no different from the four monarchs, the stars, and the gods.

The easiest way to defeat the devil is to become a more powerful or evil devil. The most intuitive insight when staring into the abyss is to never fall into the abyss.

That's why the Red King said at the beginning: Bring your kingdom of heaven and destroy the world with us. You will have everything you need in the new world.

The only difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and them is a crazy reason - the Kingdom of Heaven needs a reason, but they don't.

However, what is the difference between their image in the outside world and the abyss now?

"How many of the Anle projects have we recycled so far?" Xia Xiu took a deep breath and asked [Adam].

[The early Angel of Peace project was all under the responsibility of Judith Iscariot. This pollution technology with a star-like color was not very recognized by the Ethics Committee in the early days, but due to the more inhumane vertical walls of various factions in the Kingdom of Heaven at that time Qing Yezhi argued that the secret jurisdiction project was finally approved; however, this may only be a phase of development because there is no record of it in the database.

Eden was indirectly involved in the subsequent second and third phases of the Angel of Peace project. After the Messiah rebellion, these were forcibly recovered by Eden and the Supreme Program because of the risk control and management costs of the project. It's too high. If something goes wrong, [Angel of Peace] may affect the entire world.

So the follow-up Peace Project began to turn to the physical level blockade. At that time, other departments of the Kingdom of Heaven were very interested in [Angels of Peace]. They believed that the [Crystal Sky] over Terra was somewhat similar to Angels of Peace in a sense, but because of Terra The internal particularity and the existence of heaven make the existence of [Crystal Sky] slightly embarrassing.

However, the direction developed by other departments is different from the direction developed by Judith. The right-wing angels hope to adopt a more peaceful way to deal with alien races, so they want to create an existence similar to [Crystal Sky]; the right-wing angels They advocated the creation of a permanent, insurmountable shielding field to be deployed on the surface of hostile civilization. However, with the current technical level and social environment, this project is not suitable for inclusion in the research and development sequence of the Kingdom of Heaven project, so it was included in the scrap plan by Eden. middle--]

"Then they will probably have to wait a little longer. My [gospel project] has not been completed yet." Xia Xiu complained casually.

The engineering projects of the Kingdom of Heaven are all big projects, and there are only a few places given by Eden every year. This is after excluding the maintenance and annual research and development fees of [space-based engineering].

Moreover, since the establishment of the Honkai Administration Bureau, there has been another big resource-hungry player in Heaven.

The extraordinary and high welfare system of so many [executives] in this world relies on Father Eden's extravagant spending.

You have no money and you still want to save the world! ?

"Start a new record and recycle the first phase of the Angel Angel project. However, before recycling, I need to conduct an investigation according to the phase coordinate parameters recorded above."

[Record begins——]

At this moment, Xia Xiu began to control the Dr. Octopus-like robotic arms behind him, letting them quickly adjust various complex parameters.

He discovered several fixed coordinates on the [Nautilus] and some anomalies of the ship.

It is precisely because of these anomalies that Xia Xiu did not directly turn the [Nautilus] into his own shape with the fire of data. He was afraid that if he burned the fire, the engineering data and anomalies debugged inside the ship would be immediately deleted and redone. Set.

[Parameters have been debugged——]

[preparing--]

[10···9···7···]

"I want to see if this country of the Sea of ​​Fog can continue to drag out any relevant deeds like a carrot."

Xia Xiu held the ship's manual control device.

During this strange trip to the Sea of ​​Mist Country, he always felt that the water hidden inside was very deep. If the subsequent investigation revealed some strange alien species civilization, he would not be surprised at all.

[···3···2···1! ]

[Begins to dive——]

[Nautilus Tip: The ship has a depth transfer anomaly. When immersed in a water body of a certain depth, the ship will be surrounded by rapidly turbid water, and then be transported to a parallel reality location. During this transfer process, the Nautilus Will cross the boundaries of ordinary physical space and enter a different dimension of reality——]

This is the deep ship used to carry [Allegory of the Cave], because it has abnormal characteristics that can provide a special connection point.

Therefore, it is naturally used as a tool for circumventing the wall.

As long as [Nautilus] retains its anomalous properties as a node, it will not be affected by [Fable of the Cave].

[Starts deep dive——]

[Dive in...]

[External pressure: 31 bar]

[Hull status: Cabin pressure is normal]

[Depth: 120···200···300···]

In the deep blue sea, [Nautilus] dives slowly.

Its surface is filled with steampunk copper pipes and gears. The ship's shell is made of smooth and strong alloy. Its surface is carved with exquisite and complex patterns. Every copper seam and decoration is carefully crafted. The windows Made of reinforced glass.

In the control room, light reflects on various instruments and screens, and copper decorations and glowing electronic screens complement each other, creating an atmosphere of futurism and retroism.

[Depth: 500 meters——]

Rumble——

When the depth reached 500 meters, the ship began to shake crazily.

The surrounding environment began to undergo strange changes, and the water began to become extremely turbid, as if there was an invisible force brewing in the water, gradually surrounding the ship.

The deep sea waters around the ship suddenly became turbulent, and circles of water rippled silently, forming layers of ripples. These waves are different from ordinary waves. They appear to be slow, but in fact they contain powerful power. They seem to be driven by some unknown energy and are quietly changing the nature of the ocean.

In this incredible water movement, the ship's lights captured some unusual phenomena.

Dark blue dimensional gaps began to appear underwater. They were like rifts between the real world and another space, shining with a strange and fascinating light. These gaps gradually widened, as if showing the ship the entrance to another dimension.

These dimensional gaps slowly twist and expand in the water, and the surrounding water seems to be attracted into them, creating a strange visual effect.

The ship seems to be gradually being sucked into an unknown and mysterious realm, and every flicker reveals information and existence beyond common sense to the explorer.

[Coordinate point detected: *\u0026#@……%]

[There is a correction phenomenon in the coordinate points——]

[This path is extremely unstable——]

[Y/N continue deep dive? ]

The ship's internal instruments began to sound alarms, and various sensors captured unprecedented data.

Xia Xiu chose without hesitation that the correction of the coordinates meant that [Nautilus] had indeed not performed engineering tasks on Europa before. It was someone who subsequently brought [Nautilus] to Europa. This person had already Guess who it is.

"continue."

[Keep diving! ]

[Nautilus] received the order from the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, and continued to dive deep despite the coordinates.

Rumble——

At this moment, the inside of the ship began to shake violently, as if being grasped by a huge hand.

Sirens echoed in the narrow metal corridor, and the lights in the control room flickered on and off as they vibrated.

The robotic arm operated the console urgently, trying to stabilize the ship that was bumping in the deep sea. The hull of the ship creaked, as if in protest against the ruthless violence of the deep sea.

"Damn, what's going on!"

Inside another cabin of the [Nautilus], Bazin tightly held the mechanical armrest next to him, trying to stabilize his body that was shaking violently.

The sound of sirens echoes in your ears, and the tension is almost palpable.

He stared out at the violent and chaotic ocean through the reinforced glass window of the ship's control room.

In this crazy seabed, those dimensional rifts seemed to have become dark portals, leading to an unknown and terrifying world.

From these cracks, terrifying sea creatures began to crawl out. Their appearance was like a nightmare in the abyss, bringing suffocating fear.

They have huge bodies that are tens of meters long. Their skin is a dark blue to black tone with silvery gray markings. They have a five-point body. Their heads are similar to prehistoric giant octopuses, with a pair of huge and Penetrating eyes, these eyes emit a faint light underwater, like beacons in the deep sea. Their mouths are huge and surrounded by countless swinging tentacles, each covered with suckers and sharp barbs.

These huge creatures, with their formidable bodies and incredible speed, swam towards the [Nautilus] quickly.

"This is... a sea monster!?"

When Bazan's eyes fell on the monsters crawling out of the abyss, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes were tightly locked on every movement of these terrifying creatures.

Yes, these monsters are almost identical in appearance to the monster that attacked the man-made base, except that they are much smaller than the 100-meter-high marine giant, with a size of only 10 to 20 meters.
