Germin, one of the masters of the spinal cord dedication ceremony, fulfilled his obligations and duties and helped Boyi prepare for the ceremony.The ceremony was held in accordance with the rules of conduct of the villagers on the earth, every step, every festival, every move, every move, in line with etiquette and rules, full of a strong sacrificial atmosphere.It is long and complicated, detailed and meticulous, and nothing more so. The ceremony was held in front of the Wheeling Federal Building and was attended by 300 members of the public from across the city.The new sun hung brightly in the sky, and the earth looked up to its warm glow.

The reason for the consecration ceremony is this: Anyone who exhibits a sinful wolf nature, or is insane under the pressure of life, goes mad and kills someone, will be deprived of the right to live.Criminals were brought before the public and allowed to have their spinal cord sacrificed—or enforced as a last resort.However, violence is not necessary, and the punishment of prisoners is voluntary.Execution is killing, and killing is not allowed in the mild laws of the earth villagers, so there is no legal provision for execution.Draining your spinal cord doesn't kill you, it just triggers some kind of internal chemistry.This reaction can cause a person to suffer for a period of time without a spinal cord, and then die by himself.

Of course, once the spinal cord is exhausted, the situation changes again.The painful torture is terrible. In order to save the donor from suffering, the traditional custom is to have a respectable gentleman stand by with a sharp knife and cut off the donor's head once the spinal cord is extracted-this is purely to avoid Pain, which hastens an inevitable natural process, is not a massacre, but a favor to the victim, for which he is grateful.More than a dozen distinguished gentlemen with dignified expressions melted their spinal cords in the water, and then drank it solemnly amid the reciting of hymns singing praises.In short, the scene was magnificent, solemn and solemn, and it was most suitable for those present to participate in meditation and enlightenment.

Germin is in charge of the needle, ranking after the master of ceremonies, officiant, and presiding officer.When he passed by Boyi, he helped Boyi correct the incorrect crouching position for torture.Boy looked up and looked at Germin gratefully.There was a sort of approving smile on Jermyn's face.Then the host solemnly said to Boyi: "It is your privilege to make a dedication here today. Are you willing?" "I would." Boye replied hastily.He looked obsessed and fascinated; the original restlessness was gone, replaced by confidence in the success of the spinal cord dedication ceremony.Jermyn appreciates that.

Then the officiant began to chant sutras, his voice cadenced and delayed, leading everyone to gradually become quiet and enter a state of meditation.There was silence in the crowd, and Germin also stopped distracting thoughts, wanting to seize this great opportunity to realize Zen and be saved.Suddenly a voice distracted him, and he looked around angrily. The voice came from the direction of Wujie Prison, and it was a man's voice.But others didn't seem to notice the sound, and even the spectators standing on the steps were in solemn meditation at this moment. Germin controlled himself, turned his thoughts around, and fell into a state of tranquility again...

But he still couldn't calm down, and something distracted him again.He glanced at the devotee, in a trance, and saw something—he looked up again in exasperation.This time he saw exactly what he hadn't seen before, the thing that had distracted him. Yes, that's it.Just above Boi's body, soundless, shapeless, barely visible, a living thing appeared, as if the air was moving... Jermyn's heart was beating wildly. "Again—again!" he thought to himself. Exceed!A true miracle is about to happen, here and now!On Boi's body!And all this is only known by Germin! But Germin was wrong.

Granted, no one else had ever seen the eye-like thing on Boye's head except Germin, but in another sense, there was another witness hundreds of miles away. The pyramid on the top of Sakya-Mata Peak "moved" up. The pyramid itself is not moving, but something under its control is moving, or moving, or changing, or radiating.Pyramid started to check its own - vegetable garden?watch library?Or it can also be called watch garden, vegetable bank?In short, for it, what is examined is just such a carrier: a certain complex intelligent mechanism grows and matures there; it is harvested when needed, subjected to quick freezing, and then connected in series to related circuits.

The received signal shows that the pyramid "knows" that an intelligent mechanism carrier is "mature" and can be harvested. The blood of the pyramid is a liquid dielectric, and the limbs are electrostatic charges. The working principle is to split and push, and there is only one motivation for behavior—survival. The past survival form of the pyramid is not the same as it is now.In the past, the pyramid slid on an electrified crawler track, sending electron beams backwards to obtain propulsion, and at the same time frequently sending out h-f frequency band pulse waves to the outside world, and receiving feedback waves to synthesize images in the body.Use this to understand the outside world and find food.If the image shows that a food item has been found, the pyramid metabolizes it.This is done by striking the food material with free protons from the electrons, breaking them apart into individual molecules, which are then absorbed.Foodstuffs are divided into animal-like and non-animal-like categories—a vague, superficial classification based on split-push principles, with the difference that the pyramid sometimes has to keep track of the food stuff if it's animal-like.

The overall central question is survival, not distinctions between these pointless distinctions.The mission of the Saphon Pyramid today is to collect a trivial human intelligence component needed for survival. It sits there, waits, continuously sends and receives h-f frequency band pulse radio waves, and synthesizes images of the feedback radio waves in the body, analyzes and evaluates these images, and examines whether the object can be used as a functional part of itself.Humans living on the earth can be a kind of intelligent part that the pyramid needs.From time to time, it evaluates the images it acquires to see if the smart component carriers it needs—like a watch—are ripe for harvest.This series of work is done using static electricity.When static electricity is excited, an atmospheric phenomenon called "air eye" will be produced.The pyramid itself has no name for that atmospheric phenomenon.

Once the intelligent mechanism matures, it harvests.Now it has discovered that an intelligent mechanism has matured. In distant Wheeling, in front of the steps of the Federal Building, static electricity was generated on the head of an intelligent mechanism carrier named Boye.Immediately there was a muffled thunder, and the 300 people present were startled and woke up from meditation. Boyi disappeared in that instant.It was the sound of the atmosphere filling the space left by his disappearance—Boy had matured, so had been harvested.
