Overturned Tower

-dusk.

When Russell heard this, he was slightly startled.

Not long ago, he just heard this term from Sally Ruth.

The existence that can bring the world to an end is called "Twilight".

The rather mysterious elf director, Russell's tutor for graduate students, the man behind the scenes who is suspected of sending Russell to this world... That's how she described the word.

Dusk will absorb all the essence of this world and break out of the destroyed world. Its very existence is a harbinger of the imminent destruction of the world.

And Sally Ruth, the mentor, claimed that Russell was that dusk—his psionic energy, which was originally pale and empty, turned dim yellow after his awakening was a proof.

When the original Russell used the psionic power of the God's Container, all he did was "play and imitate". The light he held in his hand was just the afterglow that leaked from the seal.

—Russell's essence is the twilight of "Epitaph".

The so-called epitaph is a mourning style including the name, place of origin, life story and life evaluation of the deceased. However, narration in words, in any case, tends to be subjective, or not specific enough, or not detailed enough. Because no one knows himself better than himself, everyone will perform some performances in front of others, and there will be secrets that cannot be told to others.

The deceased in the eyes of others will never be—nor can be the "real deceased" itself.

And Russell's talent gave him this possibility.

He can completely store, describe, and represent the dead... In other words, [the dead are not dead].

Their existence will continue and become eternal in Russell.

If the teacher said... Dusk refers to a possibility of world destruction, and can also obtain nourishment from destruction. Then Russell could indeed be called Twilight.

As long as Russell thinks, he is invincible—if he does not need to maintain his dominance as Russell's personality, he can kill everyone he sees in front of him, and get the thoughts, talents, appearance, and abilities of each of them. Such a reciprocating cycle is like an avalanche... No one can stop the will of "human beings". And at the end of the killing, Russell himself is the walking "human epitaph".

From this point of view, he is equivalent to gathering the will of all mankind together.

… What the monkey-faced eagle did was somewhat similar to Russell in essence.

The technique of the monkey-faced eagle should be exactly the same as that of the deer head. She turned herself into an electronic ghost back then, who knows how many years earlier than the monkey-faced eagle.

But why, the deer head portrait did not become "Twilight"?

Russell quickly realized the difference between the two.

—Because of the head of the deer, he did not try to use his own consciousness to integrate with others.

She is very clear about her position, she is an electronic ghost wandering in the Internet. Although she has already turned into a virus, lurking in the brains of every member of the Tower of Babel, she uses this method to open any door between the roads that can only be opened by "the room you have been to". Because she can indeed be counted as "been here".

Although she released the virus, she never thought of using this virus to "profit".

Her own body was so broken that only half of her head was left, and she didn't even have any limbs. In this way, it has been hung on the wall for more than a hundred years, as if it has become a real "deer head" hanging on the fireplace.

But even so, she never had any wrong thoughts about other people's healthy and vigorous bodies.

Obviously, as long as she wants to—she can easily take away other people's bodies through various means.

And the monkey-faced eagle just crossed this taboo wall.

...think about it too.

When Naraku-7 got the faint yellow psionic energy, it was almost the time when she accepted the "poisonous electric wave" and her temperament changed drastically.

Since then, she has been completely integrated with the monkey-faced eagle.

While making such a taboo act, the world judged that he/she has the possibility of destroying the world, and gave her a faint yellow spiritual power.

If he can do it once, he can do it twice, or even more times.

As he himself said, the "monkey-faced eagle" that has been uploaded and saved can be copied countless times. In other words, although the monkey-faced eagle downloaded to Naraku-7 has become one with her, it has become an ambiguous state that is neither oneself nor the other, neither day nor night...

But he can still make the "monkey-faced eagle" in cyberspace continue to replicate infinitely, and then connect with everyone. Construct countless "monkey-faced eagle version individuals".

By that time, if human beings really upload their minds, they will be completely integrated by the monkey-faced eagle. Become an electronic ghost in the truest sense of the word...

...This may be the "God" that the Cyber ​​Church is looking forward to.

"It's ironic..."

Russell murmured.

The "God Creation Project" did not create the **** who "rules the future destiny of mankind", but accidentally created the real god—the "community of human consciousness" believed by the Cyber ​​Church.

What the monkey-faced eagle does is actually the same as that of Russell.

The only difference is that Russell still has a "true ontology". But the monkey-faced eagle has lost its anchor, and has become a rootless duckweed floating on the sea of ​​consciousness.

If Russell foreshadows the future of "all things are one", carrying all the memories of a civilization with his own power, and becoming a walking "living tombstone"...then the monkey-faced eagle symbolizes "all things are extinguished". A virus that uses itself to continuously infect organic matter, assimilate it into itself, and become inorganic matter.

"1" symbolizes existence, and "0" symbolizes nothingness.

...No matter how you look at it, the opposite side is more like the World Destroyer Demon King.

The dim yellow at the bottom of Russell's pupils lit up slightly.

A sense of crisis that the essence of existence is being challenged... finally made him face up to this enemy.

"Twilight...do you know what 'twilight' means?"

Russell squinted his eyes~www.readwn.com~ and asked in a low voice: "What's the boundary between day and night... It's not that kind of illusory and ethereal existence."

"Contrary to what you think, I probably know a little bit."

The girl with long black and straight body sat in a wheelchair, put the gun away and placed it flat on her lap.

She said flatly: "A long time ago, I represented the scholars of Happy Island to go to Chongguang Island for exchange and study. From that time on, I realized... Sally Ruth is a monster.

"Her beautiful skin hides an unspeakable monster essence... just like you.

"It's definitely not a human being, but some kind of alien monster. I just realized this at the time, and my brain was hit hard, and I fainted.

"Probably the demons sealed in her body were unsealed, or the body was taken away by the evil thoughts gathered in the depths of the dream world... But no matter what, she can't be a pure human being.

"Because she directly entered my dream. She revealed to me the knowledge about [End of the World]."
