In fact, I have already made assumptions about the children of the old gods.

I just didn't expect it to be confirmed, and when this guy who claimed to be the son of God and man appeared in front of me, I wasn't excited at all. I even felt disappointed, or...bored.

It's like a Guizhou movie that is full of bad jokes.

God is good too.

No matter people.

Or some kind of hybrid breed, etc., these are all common concepts.

Generally speaking, this is because the divergence of human thoughts in this era has invisibly touched the cognitive barrier of reality, and there is no way to break through it.

Therefore, I am not at all interested in her claiming to be a descendant of God and man.

The pen drew casually on the paper. I did not continue to record, but quietly waited for the next step.

Takahashi Ginko also seemed to notice my disinterest.

So she smiled and asked: "Do you prefer the more abstract Close Encounters of the Third Kind like lighthouses?"

I was stunned.

This is a question that most people will find inexplicable. But it sounds a bit harsh to me... I am a fan. I dabble in various types, but my favorites are often niche types.

The lighthouse mentioned by Ginko Takahashi comes from one of the famous works of American science fiction writer Jeff VanderMeer, "The Lost Southland". This book is very famous in the circle of science fiction fans. I believe that most people will finish reading "The Lost Southland".

Along with "The Three-Body Problem", I also read the two books "The Forgotten Southland" and "Arrival". Although they are relatively older works compared to the era I live in, the real problem is that nowadays

The quasi-literary works still cannot conceal their brilliance.

Therefore, when I heard this question from Ginko Takahashi, it was as if some of your little quirks had accidentally met a soulmate.

This sense of identity, or spiritual resonance, suddenly piqued my interest.

I sat up straight and said with a smile: "Yes, I do prefer the kind of works that give readers room for imagination. It is a kind of hazy beauty. Just like your previous job, I think most of the regular customers of the custom shop are more...

Enjoy the process of your performance, rather than the nudity when you finish the performance?"

Hearing this, Takahashi Ginko asked: "Uncle, do you mean that what I just said was a bit too direct and too naked?"

I was immediately speechless.

Indeed... Takahashi Ginko's words hit the nail on the head. I do feel that her claiming to be the descendant of old gods and humans is a bit too naked. Not only is there no sense of mystery, it even leaves me with little room for expectation.

nothing.

This is like someone who went to explore a mysterious area and suddenly found that it was a tourist attraction. Your adventure experience suddenly had a guide, so all the mystery and unknowns became open and boring.

Takahashi Ginko, who could see through my thoughts at a glance, suddenly covered his mouth and laughed.

"Uncle, you are so interesting."

Is this interesting?

I don't think so.

"You came to interview me, and I told you the truth, but then you looked forward to getting spiritual pleasure from me like a reader, tsk tsk tsk... You are too unprofessional, uncle." Takahashi Ginko sarcastically said

Very harsh.

I was so excited that my face turned red but I was helpless.

After all, what she said is true. This is probably why I have rarely produced very good works over the years...

I admit... I am an unprofessional and undedicated reporter. Because I enjoy exploring through this job more than discovering and paraphrasing.

I want to have this moment to myself.

"I'm sorry...but I have to admit that I'm not the kind of person who likes to travel with a camera. I think scenery is for enjoying, not for recording and forgetting. It's easy to be overly obsessed with shooting.

It makes me miss out on beautiful things, so...if you think I'm not professional enough, we can end this interview early." After saying this, I put away the notebook, but to be honest, I was a little

I was so angry that I had to save face so much that I immediately regretted it after I said it.

Takahashi Ginko was stunned for a moment, then became serious.

After thinking for a while, she said: "You are right...Uncle... Being too obsessed with shooting will indeed make people ignore the more real scenery in front of them... In fact, I can understand your desire to enjoy this moment alone...

…So……"

Hearing "So..." and the hesitation or disappointment in her tone... my heart suddenly rose to my throat, and I began to hesitate whether to defend myself, but I couldn't pull that face away.

However, this girl helped me out: "Well, how about this, uncle, I'll just take you to them."

When I heard this, I suddenly felt a little creepy, and my body felt like I was getting an electric shock.

The strange excitement mixed with a little fear and anxiety made my heart beat faster.

I nodded immediately, as if I was afraid that she would suddenly regret it. And my move immediately made the girl in front of me giggle, and I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, at this age, it is unreasonable to be less stable than a little girl.

.

However, after Takahashi Ginko finished laughing, he said in a deep voice: "But uncle, I want to remind you that they are gods, manifestations of pure divinity without humanity at all, so don't use your thoughts to try to understand them.

Not only is that stupid, it's also dangerous."

I could tell that there was no joke in Takahashi Ginko's words.

I tried to stay calm and collected as my heart rate continued to rise.

Yes...it is God that I have to face.

It is an existence that can be called "god" in the true sense.

In my previous thoughts about what they are, I still cannot get rid of the shackles of the ideological culture I accepted since childhood. The God I understand will always have the shadow of a human being.

But after being reminded by Ginko Takahashi, I felt that I had to constantly mark my inner thoughts with negative marks, otherwise this unexpected trip might really turn into a journey of no return for me.

"Okay, I've written it down."

Takahashi Ginzi nodded, then stood up and said, "Okay, let's go see one of them now."

When I heard this, I was stunned: "Huh? Are you going now?"

Takahashi Ginko nodded: "Yes, it lives on the nearby mountain. If you are lucky, you might be able to see the whale."

"Whale...whale?!"

My mind was completely screwed up.

Thoughts like "This is too much fun?" "What the hell is a whale?" "A god who lives on the mountain? Is it a mountain god?" kept pouring out of my heart. And I took it for granted that these thoughts were normal.

But I suddenly realized what Takahashi Ginko had just reminded me, so I immediately classified these ideas into the category of "stupid".

Maybe I am a little ant, maybe I can tell my descendants as a wise man that the mountain in front of us is the highest peak in the world. But from now on, I want to become an alien, I want to deny my reality

Accepting all the knowledge, perhaps only in this way can I roughly realize that the highest peak in the world of ants may be just a piece of poop, and Mount Everest on the earth is just a larger piece of poop formed after the collision of two plates.

Come out of the villa.

Takahashi Ginko put on a box of cat food and two canned yellow peaches.

I thought she was going to feed the cat, and the canned yellow peach was to quench her thirst on the road.

But she explained before I asked the question: "Oh, by the way, these are snacks for that person. He likes these things very much."

I was stunned, then reluctantly accepted this setting, kept smiling and said: "Okay."

Most of the foothills near the villa area are barren. This barrenness does not refer to the barrenness of vegetation, but the barrenness of biological species. Since there are many residents nearby, and there are various observation nodes on the mountain tops, this area of ​​​​area

Thousands of acres of foothills have turned into a green desert on the edge of the city.

I couldn't see any trace of wild animals along the way, and even the chirping of insects and birds was a very rare thing.

Takahashi Ginko walked in front with ease, and I tried my best to keep up with her pace.

On the way I asked: "What's the name of this...uh...god? Is it Turaya or?"

Takahashi Ginko replied without looking back: "She is the incarnation of Yaramus, the guide of the Requiem Home. It is said that she has lived for more than 1,700 years. When the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima, the hometown of my ancestors,

, this lady is also there, but she didn’t save anyone, she just moved to another place and lived in seclusion again.”

I listened to these incredible stories, chewed hard on the parts of them that were difficult to accept in real thinking, and then asked with twitching corners of my mouth: "Incarnation? What does incarnation mean?"

Takahashi Ginko stopped, she thought for a while and then turned around and asked me: "How much do you know about scientific knowledge such as dimensions?"

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "I guess you know some common sense."

"Well...then you think of it as the image Yarams must have in order to materialize himself in the three-dimensional world. After all, it is a god. If it really breaks into our world by force, we humans would have long ago

It became extinct." Takahashi Ginko's explanation is easy to understand.

But I naturally understood what she said about three dimensions as three dimensions. So when I wrote about this experience later, I made a seemingly trivial mistake, but in fact it delayed human beings' understanding of the three-dimensional world for at least more than a century.

serious error.

Of course, these are all things later. At least in my understanding at the time, it was not difficult to understand that God would appear as an incarnation in the human world, but I forgot... I had to fundamentally deny the established knowledge.

concept.

I nodded, and Takahashi Ginko continued to lead the way.

The mountain road became more and more rugged and muddy, and the surrounding area was pitch black, which looked really scary.
To be continued...
