"Caron, I can probably understand the beginning." Joan's fingers were tangled in her hair, thinking, "It says that people live in the world, and after experiencing all kinds of things, they will eventually die, right, but what does it mean after that?
Woolen cloth?"
"Perhaps it can be understood in conjunction with the index title." Fan Ning tapped his fingers on the table. "This passage may emphasize the view of death of certain groups: death in the physical sense is only the first beginning, and after the death of a person, other
People will gradually witness and accept the fact of their death. This is the second death, huh?..." Fan Ning stopped talking and thought deeply as he spoke.
Qiong asked doubtfully: "When a person dies, he or she is dead and does not necessarily need to be confirmed by others. Is this another meaning? I feel there is no difference from the former."
"I thought about it, maybe there is a difference." Fan Ning gave his explanation.
"Imagine a scene where a person is lying in a hospital ward on his deathbed. He is about to die. It may be five minutes, it may be ten minutes, or it may be half an hour. In short, it will be a matter of time... Relatives and friends
To visit him, some came all the way, some took a break from their busy schedule, and they entered the ward one by one..."
"You are one of them. You sit in front of his bed, hold his hand, look at his face, say your final goodbyes, and then walk through the door with sadness, confusion, or complicated emotions.
It turns out that the moment you turn your head, he is actually dead in your heart...Although he may still be lingering on and has ten minutes left to live, that means nothing to you anymore, right?"
Sheeran agreed: "There seems to be a subtle difference."
Fan Ning said: "So the second level should refer to death in the minds of others, or decoupling in a social sense. And my understanding of the last paragraph is that after a person dies, there are always people who remember him, such as the narrator.
, such as his relatives, friends and loved ones, and when the last person in the world who remembers the deceased himself dies, it is the third level."
Sheeran was listening in a daze: "So is this a process that everyone will go through? It sounds like this, and I feel a little sad and desperate, as well as some nihilistic fear of death."
"No, based on this definition, I don't think so." Fan Ning shook his head, "For example, do you think Master Gilles will experience the third level of death?"
The two little girls were stunned.
Yes, just like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Brahms and other masters on the Blue Star in Fan Ning's previous life...
Even I, who inexplicably traveled to another world, will miss them for the rest of my life.
"The logic of this kind of writing is often progressive, with the emphasis at the end, so I think its central idea is to emphasize the importance of being 'remembered'."
After Fan Ning said this, he suddenly realized something. Then, his eyes met with Qiong's, and he found that the expression of the little girl opposite was exactly the same as his.
The eyes of the two people became brighter and brighter, and they said in unison: "Moving creatures!"
This is exactly what Joan told herself after the Professor Lorraine incident. It seems that the moving creatures cannot clearly distinguish the concepts of "living" and "death", or that they cannot use these two terms to distinguish their states.
In their world, people can only be "remembered" or "forgotten".
Fan Ning made a bold guess: "So, do you think the 'phantom man' created by the opera singer Banchois mentioned in this document is essentially an idea or memory that relies on him?
And the migratory creatures that exist?”
Xilan suddenly exclaimed and covered her open mouth.
"What's going on?" Fan Ning asked in surprise.
"Caron, I suddenly thought of that incident! The 'Dream Boy' incident that confused us all!"
"The 'Dream Man' incident, you mean, memory!?" Fan Ning suddenly woke up as if from a dream.
"Let me put it into perspective, we do not know the origin or purpose of this incident, but we have speculated on its possible realization principle before - that is, first fabricate non-existent characters, and apply psychological methods to the first few people.
Suggestions, let them dream, they can easily share their experiences spontaneously, which leads to the psychological suggestion of more people, and more people have dreams. After reaching a certain scale, the media will come to 'reveal' the news in order to attract attention.
It was further widely known and disseminated by people who were overly obsessed with novelty. Finally, the originally fictitious imaginary things really became objective memories!"
"From this perspective, it is exactly the same as the formation process of 'phantom man'!"
Sheeran said: "There is still a difference. According to the literature, the 'phantom man' created by Ban Shuwa is almost physical, with completely independent consciousness, and can exert an influence on the material world, while the 'Dream Man' is almost physical from beginning to end.
They are just illusory things in a dream, and the impact they have on people is only at the spiritual level."
"Is it possible that it's because of inspiration?" Fan Ning speculated. "The opera singer Banchuva was a knowledgeable person in ancient times, and he was even very likely to be a 'knowledgeable person'. Nowadays, most people who have been affected by the 'Dream Man' incident
Most of them are ordinary people, so the intensity of inspiration between the two sides is naturally very different."
Joan suddenly reminded her: "Carolen, Sheeran, have you discovered a more important difference?"
"what else?"
She said to the two people looking at her: "One thing has been reflected in your words, but you may have overlooked it: 'Phantom Man' is just Ban Shuwa's personal memory, while 'Dream Man' is a collective memory.
!”
"The inspiration of the ancient wise man Ban Shuwa must be extremely powerful, and his physical strength may even be very powerful. This is naturally not comparable to the instigator behind it today, otherwise he would not have to be so sneaky."
"If the purpose of the instigator is to create a migratory creature of the level of 'Illusion Man', he will definitely -"
"Try optimization methods?" Fan Ning took over, "Or in other words, use some compensatory means to close the gap with Ban Shuwa? Including the physical gap, but also the spiritual gap?"
Fan Ning suddenly remembered another "Original Secret" mentioned in the ancient Chaniz language that the Bologna School had been looking for.
The "spiritual secret instrument" recorded above that killed Teacher Anton was evaluated as an optimization idea for improving the quality of sensory fuel.
Optimize ideas!
"This is one of them." Qiong said, "He may also hope that he can avoid Banchuwa's failure and control this 'phantom man' to achieve what purpose. Otherwise, in addition to creating a trap for himself, it will also
What’s the point?”
Fan Ning thought over and over again and looked at the notebook open in front of him.
There are all the incidents listed before that are still doubtful.
"The experience officer of the Transcendental Club entrusted "Grey Eagle" to take away Sheeran for the first time. The latter was killed by himself after being promoted to a knowledgeable person. The second time he tried to do it himself."
"The experience officer of the Transcendental Club is suspected of collecting the life force of workers by taking advantage of the opportunity when workers are injured by radioactive substances and their lives are passing abnormally."
"The agent of the Pleasure Listening Club uses the secret device of capturing souls to steal the light of first acquaintance from innocent people and refine the essence of radiance with extremely high purity of inspiration."
The following one was just written:
"Unknown people concocted the "Dream Boy Incident" and fabricated large-scale collective memories that did not originally exist."
There is another page of paper recording fragments of musical inspiration spread out next to it. On it is written the inspiration I received from Teacher Anton:
"Music performance or a ritual."
It was this revelation that allowed me to move forward when faced with the mandatory arrangements of the Special Patrol Office, and later led all the staff to formulate a plan that was completely different from the previous one.
Under the interweaving of various information, lightning flashed across Fan Ning's heart, briefly brightening the dark and confusing things. It seemed that some details could be seen clearly, but it seemed that they were not.
His eyes flickered for a long time, and finally he took a deep breath:
"No matter what, let's go ahead as scheduled tomorrow and follow our plan."
