Latent Syndrome

Chapter 397 396. Symbolic Realm

Although Heller brought a lot of spare fuel with him when he left, the consumption of the long journey could not sustain it, so he planned to grab some when passing some campsites.

But after so many days, she gradually discovered a tragic fact. After more than a year of high-intensity fighting and killing each other.

She hadn't seen a single living thing along the way.

There is only infinite loneliness and empty desolation.

After running out of fuel, she had to give up her mobility device and start walking on the road. The sky was always hazy and she couldn't tell whether it was dawn or dusk.

She didn't know where she was going either.

Maybe this is what is called not crying until you see the coffin, she thought.

Because after slaughtering so many people without any remorse until now, she found that during these processes, she gained nothing but strength.

And power seems to be useless in today's world, because no matter how powerful it is, it can't withstand the terrifying things in the abyss.

She actually misses the past days. Although the real world of human beings is diverse, or the Internet is like hell filled with all kinds of heroes, watching those farces feels like she is still alive.

The feast should have lasted longer.

But no one expected that the abyssal syndrome would intensify the evolution of this party, making it quickly escalate into a violent carnival.

Now this is a desolate wilderness with no one around.

It seemed like the carnival was over.

A sad ending.

Everything will come to an end soon.

Perhaps the nuclear winter haze is beginning to settle, or the radiation is slowly decreasing. Even inland where there is no water to evaporate, it rains, but it is just weird acid rain.

But it is not a serious problem for infected people like Heller. Even if their hair and clothes get wet, it will not cause any harm to them.

Heller believes that he is real, and those childhood memories and all the past are absolutely not false, in this self-killing by multiple butchers.

You are the absolute subject, not an extended body.

But others may think so too.

Under the drizzle, Heller didn't know how long he had been walking, but no matter where he was, the scene was the same, only desolate, and it remained unchanged no matter where he went.

finally.

She stopped, as if she had reached her destination, the end.

A cold voice also came from behind.

With the blessing of his extraordinary powers, his speed is too fast.

"It's amazing isn't it."

"We have always been misled by linear logic, always thinking that consciousness is built from the bottom up, based on something."

"But these are wrong."

“Not from the bottom up.”

“It’s an outside-in process.”

"It's like the projection of the divine realm that crazy people often say."

"It's not a pyramid, it's a maze."

“Every choice may bring you closer to the center.”

"Or take you around the edge and into madness."

Luca clutched the metal box of salvation, now it needed its last piece.

"A big shot like you shouldn't say this to a little guy like me."

Heller turned around, looked at the tall Luca, and then glanced at the metal box in his hand.

It seems that the light and shadow in front of me overlap with the illusion in a dream.

She had seen this scene before, the shrill rain curtain, the lonely desolation of the surrounding fields, and the metal box that was like the core of the matrix.

In an instant, boundless panic enveloped her heart.

As fate reveals, no one can resist destiny, not even God.

Even gods cannot reach the ultimate destiny that is entangled with endless terror and is at the end of the abyss.

"Is this so..."

"That's actually the case."

Heller muttered.

Then she felt a little relieved, as if she had an epiphany.

"This labyrinth where all things come together."

“It is said that every end is the beginning of every place.”

“Into the center, around the edge.”

"They will all go crazy."

"Destiny connects us all."

Heller was relieved, knowing that she was destined to die.

With this speech ended.

Luca did the right thing and made the metal box in his hand whole, the last bit of dignity that could be used.

Click!

Without any pain, the huge force evaporated Heller, and in an instant it turned into blood flowers all over the sky.

The chain saw in the metal box wanted to say something, but the gap in the box immediately closed completely.

Chainsaw finally accomplished his dream career.

An independent world that will never be affected by external forces.

Luka sighed.

Thus.

It's already a third of the way done.

…

…

…

"So you need to go to the countermeasures bureau first to completely cure your latent abyss disease."

"Then we'll go to the SCT headquarters to find the mastermind behind it to settle the score."

"Just because..."

"Do you believe in some nonsense that came from nowhere, that only humans can defeat monsters?"

"I'm so convinced, my dear."

"Look who is the real master now."

"You are really the best magician in the world, so hurry up and start a cult."

Violet was a little speechless. She thought Colin had really broken through the shackles of 3 and became an omnipotent being, but he ended up talking crazy here.

"No."

"The power drawn from the abyss cannot defeat the abyss."

"As long as my illness is cured."

"I will have unlimited power."

Colin said calmly.

The advance guard of the Violet Alliance nodded and said, "Yes, your man is right. His argument is feasible."

Violet slapped her forehead and tried to reason with Colin.

"By then you won't even be able to perform visions, let alone be the mastermind behind SCT."

"With a smoker's lungs like yours, it's hard enough to do any physical work."

Violet complained mercilessly.

Colin knew that Violet could no longer understand what he understood now, so he did not argue with him.

After more than ten seconds of silence.

Violet asked next.

"All right."

"Let's not talk about how you will eradicate the latent disease at that time."

"First of all, let's talk about how you are sure that the Countermeasure Bureau has a way to cure Latent Abyssal Syndrome?"

"If there was, the world would be at peace a long time ago and this whole mess would never have happened."

Violet thinks Colin has gone crazy.

Unexpectedly, Colin gave an extremely reliable answer this time.

"It can be done."

"But it can only cure one person."

"The reason why this world can survive so many years of latent abyss syndrome."

"It's all because of the symbolic realm."

"Just like the deep realm theory you often talk about, the symbolic realm also has its projection."

"And it's in the Countermeasures Bureau."

"Only this last step is missing."

"I can eradicate latent disease."

Colin said calmly.

Violet looked confused and asked: "How do you know? With your previous status, you don't have access to these, right?"

Colin didn't answer.

Because it can only be this way.

Only in this way can the Countermeasures Bureau fight against SCT at all costs. Only this kind of thing can make people have courage under the ultimate terror of the universe.

It can only be this way.
