|

<text>I can feel the tension in the air.</text>

<text>If I open that box, I feel like something inside me... will immediately shatter, as if it were a glass vase falling to the ground.</text>
|
||
<text>In that moment, I realized——</text>
|
||
<text>I am nothing but a 「gel-like something」 that exists inside a container called skull.</text>
|
||
<text>「I think, therefore I am」</text>
|
||
<text>The true nature of an individual who posses 「I」 lies in the psyche, and it fundamentally rejects any non-aesthetic 「impurities」.</text>
|
||
<text>Paradoxically, 「aesthetic」 is something that only exists thanks to the impurities of other individuals.</text>
|
||
<text>It's impossible for humans to completely detach themselves from their own objectivity and subjectivity.</text>
|
||
<text>For starters, our soul is the result of a neurotransmitter and feeble electric currents working as intended.</text>
|
||
<text>「Nothing is true, everything is permitted」</text>
|
||
<text>If there is a difference between Alice and me, it would be the 「source」 of that 「gel-like something」.</text>
|
||
<text>...At the very least, I can say she has won the 「Imitation Game」. I'm absolutely certain of that.</text>
|
||
<text>.....</text>
|
||
<text>I accidentally touched her cold fingertips. Her fingers retracted quickly from the touch.</text>
|
||
<text>In that moment that fragile 「glass vase」 inside of me disappeared. Without hesitation I turned the key and opened the box.</text>

<text article="1">

<p class="article-text">In the center of the culture tank, which was connected to various electronic devices, there was a 「gel-like something」.

<p class="article-text">1798年，拿破仑率领法兰西第一共和国的“东方远征军”入侵英国的盟友、奥斯曼帝国的附庸——马穆鲁克治下的埃及。此举意在打通由英国及其盟友控制的、联通欧亚大陆的交通线，并最终帮助印度的提普苏丹等人成功反抗英国的统治，以动摇英国的国本。</p>

<p class="article-text">这场“埃及-叙利亚战役”的战略目的虽然没有实现，但拿破仑通过在埃及打出的一系列以少胜多的战果，极大地提高了自身的声望。</p>
