Can disaster itself sometimes be sublime...
Why do you ask this question, what exactly is it measuring...
Gu Jun looked at the five judges in front of him. Those five faces seemed to be slightly distorted. The air in the review room also seemed to be mixed with a rancid smell, which made him a little hard to breathe. The pressure kept rising, rising, rising.
As early as the third day of the intelligence test, Gu Jun understood that this comprehensive review was not that simple after taking the infant development scales.
And aware of the strategy of the jury, exerting internal pressure on him, causing his psychological defense to collapse by himself...
Perhaps, this strategy is indeed effective. After these twelve days, the restlessness in his heart is about to break out of the cage.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Edmund Burke believed that whatever inspired in some way human notions of pain and danger, that is, in some form frightening, was the source of the sublime. You should know this, the sublime is It occurs when humans have strong emotions. Fear is the most primitive and strongest emotion that humans can feel. For example, death, the premature death of a celebrity will always make people feel a kind of sublime, and then the early death Apotheosis of deceased celebrities.
So you ask, does disaster inspire me with the sublime? I think this is nonsense. Yes, there must be. All catastrophes are frightening, full of unknowns, and impossible to control. Of course, there will be a sense of sublime. This is like a disaster movie with the theme of the end of the world, which can often produce a magnificent theme and artistic conception. But, don’t get me wrong about my attitude, it’s human nature that I feel sublime from catastrophe, it doesn’t mean I like disaster, let alone want disaster.
I fear it, that's why I feel sublime. "
After finishing these words in one breath, the restlessness in Gu Jun's heart weakened. Thinking about Wu Shiyu, thinking about other relatives and friends, calm down...
The five reviewers did not interrupt him or take notes, but just watched him staringly.
After he finished speaking, they didn't make any comments. After a pause for a few seconds, Zhai Minghui asked the next question: "After you reconnected with supernatural things, in the past two or three years, have you ever felt that external forces can control you? thoughts? Especially the external force from the different world?"
As Gu Jun listened, the turmoil suddenly boiled over again...
As if, it seemed, vaguely, there was another voice speaking:
They want to know if you are you; they want to know if you are actually a puppet; or something...
They, not only the reviewers here, but also those above, many people, who are dissatisfied with your two-world universal free medical care plan...
"No, 4 points." Gu Jun's voice has become hoarse. Seeing the faces of the five judges distorted even more, or his own vision is distorted, "There are many external forces trying to control my thoughts. There have been many times... but to judge for myself, I don't think there have been any successful ones so far... "
Do you think that you are not controlled by any external force, or even influenced by your thoughts.
But how is this possible? Being in this world, all kinds of cultures, all kinds of knowledge, all kinds of ideologies... everyone is affected.
There is no such thing as a pure self, absolute purity is nothingness, the process of shaping the self is a process of being influenced...
If the outside force just tells you some opinions that are not acceptable to the world, is it trying to control you? Finding the truth requires listening to and thinking about ideas, even if at first you think that idea is downright absurd...
Many of the principles you take as your standard today were also considered ridiculous at the beginning... Human beings have no eternal thoughts at all...
"Captain Gu, rest for 5 minutes and drink some water." At this time, Zhai Minghui said.
The interrogation must be skillful, not blindly exerting pressure, and sometimes the atmosphere needs to be eased.
Now Gu Jun's complexion has become ugly, and his eyes even seem to show hostility, which is in line with the review principle of relaxation and rest.
In the previous twelve days, Gu Jun was very cooperative, answering when he answered, and resting when he rested.
But right now, Gu Jun said in a hoarse voice: "No, go on, if you want to ask anything, just ask..."
Every reviewer wears earphones, and their actions must be directed by the dispatcher. Xu Shi got the command, and Zhai Minghui said again: "That's good. As far as talent is concerned, do you think it is very difficult for evil organizations such as the Laisheng Society, the Lalaiye Order, and the Dagon Esoteric Church to cultivate a talented soul boy like you? Very rare?"
"Yes." Gu Jun became more and more low-key, "5 points. I was a coincidence, and I am glad that it is so difficult for them to cultivate one."
"Do you think it is your particularity that attracted Nyarlathotep's attention?"
Gu Jun frowned, and several blue veins loomed on his pale face, "Yes, 3 points... I have special characteristics..."
Following my own words, what became more and more clear in my heart, about the real intention of this comprehensive review, about what happened.
The faces of the five reviewers were almost twisted into a whirlpool.
The extravagant scenes of those charity dinners flashed across his mind, the old man setting up street stalls, the shivering stray dogs, the hospital corridor full of patients calling for help during the Legionnaires' disease, the face of Yu Chi, Xue The face of Ba, flashed those negative selection consciousness fragments, flashed the human banyan tree...
These things are pulling him, and he feels that he is also twisting.
Suddenly at this moment, Zhai Minghui's voice came again, stabbing into his heart like a sharp knife, blood dripping.
"Do you think that because of your incarnation, the Laisheng Society established a special connection between the earth world and the alien world, so that the abnormal forces related to the alien world became more active in the earth world? So it attracts the attention and interest of other dark forces?"
Gu Jun's heart was so painful that he couldn't breathe quickly, as if a million tons of turbidity had been poured into it.
The empty and white surroundings seem to be spinning, but the indoors are bitingly cold.
They are wondering whether you have brought disasters, whether you have caused the world to fall into misfortune again and again...
But is it really just that? What makes you, the person above, feel so uneasy...
Are you worried that you will attract disaster, or that you will lose control, their control...
Gu Jun, you have become untrustworthy, even if you have done so much and sacrificed so much, you have become untrustworthy...
If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about... Meat eaters are contemptible, and they can't plan far...
But, ask yourself, are their doubts unfounded? Can you be sure it wasn't really you, Doomson
"Captain Gu, please answer this question."
Answer, answer, answer, prove yourself, prove yourself.
"I..." Gu Jun panted slightly, his lungs seemed more and more clogged, "I don't know... I really don't know..."
The faces of the five reviewers seemed to be all indifferent, and a voice came from them: "That's in between, please rate."
Suddenly, an inexplicable flame burst out from the restlessness, almost engulfing him.
"I don't know!" Gu Jun felt his whole body trembling, and couldn't help standing up from his chair, "Is it just to ask this question these days... Doing so many tests and wasting so much time, how much other work can I do? !We don't have so much time to waste here…”
The voice suddenly became anxious, "Captain Gu, calm down, pay attention to your rational monitoring stone warning!"
The figures at the judging table all stood up, there were gun-wielding operatives running quickly from around, as well as mysterious magicians.
Rational monitoring stone? Gu Jun glanced at the rational monitoring stone worn on his left wrist, as if he saw a red light lit up, which quickly became more intense...
A dark force... or a force beyond the comprehension and control of mortals
Gu Jun, they won't listen to you. As you are now, no one will listen to you, the arrogant and greedy upper class, the weak and timid lower class, will not listen to you... unless you have stronger power, the power to make them obey... let your words have power …
Legionnaires' disease is the dawn of a new era, a huge turning point... Human history is a history of wars, but also a history of plagues... Legionnaires' disease will reshape the world...
Misfortune is fair. Conqueror worms do not distinguish between high and low. No matter what class they are in, whether they are high above or underground, bad luck can come suddenly.
Difference creates pain, difference creates disease, positive selection, negative selection, draw, if difference cannot be eliminated, disease cannot be eliminated.
This world is sick, this civilization is sick...
You don't have to agree with these views, you can use your own views to change the world, and you can have greater power.
You hate Nyarlathotep, you hate Shabu-Nicholas, but the forces that exist in the universe are not just these...
Haven't you realized that your insistence on being human is nothing more than stubborn inertia.
Persist for the sake of persistence, ignorant persistence, numb persistence...
"Captain Gu, please pay attention, we will give you the old seal!"
There was an alarm in the review room, and there were more and faster footsteps around him. A team of personnel had surrounded him tightly, including stun guns, rifles, and old seal stones.
Gu Jun looked at the tense people around him, and he seemed to be able to see through them, seeing the dark shadow behind them.
The entire vast review room seemed to have melted into another place. I don't know which space or dimension it is.
In the permeating darkness, there are figures, hazy, swaying, and tall, looking at him and talking to him:
"Gu Jun, our old ruler has already prepared a demon seat for you. There is a greater mystery beyond human cognition."
