第37章

我發現，這些符號似乎有 different “syntax” for different types of information. Some sequences seemed to represent commands or actions, some represented data or states, and some seemed to be identifiers or addresses, pointing to specific locations or entities in the digital or spiritual space.

Using my understanding of computer architecture and network protocols, I began to hypothesize about the structure of this alien system. If the black tower is a central server or system, and the whispers are data traffic, then what am I? A terminal? A corrupted node? Or perhaps… a bridge?

一個 bridge connecting the digital chaos和我所在的 physical reality。

這時候，神棍又來找我了。他看起來 unusually anxious。

“陈默，”他湊過來，壓低聲音。“我… 我卜卦了。你的卦象… 非常非常不穩定。就像… 就像你的靈魂… 正在被什麼東西 खींच रहा！”

“被什麼拉著？”我問。

“不知道！”神棍抓了抓頭髮。“但那力量… 很強大！而且… 而且它好像不是來自我們這個世界的！”

他的話印證了我的感覺。我正在被某種力量拉扯，感覺自己 physical body and mental state are becoming disconnected, fragmented. Sometimes I would feel fully present, sometimes I would feel distant, like I was observing myself from outside.

我決定將自己的發現和 hypothesis 告訴神棍。我向他解釋了我的 computer-based approach to understanding the phenomena, the symbols as code, the black tower as a system.
