Chapter LXIV. On The Verge of Madness

He just finished his tour of the most secretive section of Headquarters Alpha, the God Chamber as they call it, or the Algorithms Chamber.

It was a week full of final tests, he almost died more than once, and in the end, he succeeded, having done what he had never imagined before; he could not have imagined that such things would be required of him. In the end, he did it, without hesitation, and became well deserved, the title “A knight”, with a card attached to his chest, gave him access to all sections of the headquarters, except for the Crystal Room, where their greatest secrets, more important than the algorithms themselves.

-Damn it is the devil inevitably, he is the one behind all this, and behind the temple cell, well, this is a traditional idea, everyone says it, but how can I refute it and reveal its secrets!

Is this about you and me? Since I was a kid? He remembered what a clergyman once told him when he told him about what was going on with him as a child, he said: They are elves, doing this with you!! He refuses to believe him, as he does not believe in the demons’ ability to interact with humans.

But what he has just seen is beyond human capabilities, as if it were one of the stories of the Thousand and One Nights, the heroes of which are a group of goblins and elves.

A lot of questions plague him, it’s beyond imagination, inevitable madness, he almost lost his mind…….

If the creators of the algorithms were the heirs of the Templars, their actions now say that they are inevitably Satan’s soldiers, the crystal may have landed with him from heaven, just as it did with Adam and Eve, and got to them somehow.

Is it related to their ancient search for something buried in Jerusalem? Did they find it?

The qualitative leaps in human history began some time after the Crusades on the Islamic world and Jerusalem, before that humanity was developing slowly, fatally. Were they looking there for the crystal? Did Satan somehow guide them to its location? Was he guarding it? No one is allowed to go near it!

Only the Prophet of God, Solomon, knew something about this, God gave him abilities to control non-human worlds, the world of elves and demons, and birds were among them, how did he do it? How did he make the sun bounce again?

God harnessed his reasons to him, and mythology said: He wrote all things in books, and buried them under his throne, fearing that they would fall into the hands of men, and they would bind them to evil.

The legendary throne of Solomon is also said to be buried somewhere in Jerusalem.

Is the crystal the lost books of Solomon?

The big master said it was working before the era of “computers”, at least they were working on it a few hundred years before this Renaissance. How did it work? How were this huge amount of data and cosmic events analyzed? But how did they collect it in the first place? And what was that means that helped them analyze it until computers and technology replaced it?

Was it the demons who gathered them, with their superhuman abilities, like the demon who brought the throne of “Bilqis”, the Queen of Sheba, to the Prophet Solomon before he turned his back? This demon had knowledge from the book.

This in itself is a new existential question, the answer to which he will not know until he sees the core of those algorithms, the crystal.

Inevitable madness, dizzy, what is this nonsense, what’s wrong with me?

Orcs, elves, and a legendary throne, have you gone crazy, Baibars? Lost your mind? Has what been going on exceeded your mental abilities to bear! Come back to your senses, go back to this earth. Do not be a fool and obsessed with myths and legends, what you think is very far from reality, reason, and logic. These algorithms are nothing more than software equations, advanced, supernatural, superpowers, they have all the capabilities you can think of, but they are human-made, made by professional programmers, who developed them over tens of years. Come to your senses, do not lose your mind with these crazy thoughts!

He is tired of the struggle going on inside him, he wants to take a nap in his chair, his mind can no longer bear what was happening, “the problem is not what that idiot called the big master said and his philosophical words, the problem is what goes through my mind, what are these irrational flashes”, his mind blinded.

He closed his eyes, a thought flashed through his head. Is what the big master said to me is what the crystal wants to say? Did I go there and see and hear what it wanted? Am I its slave now thinking the way it wants me to think?

He decided to stop analyzing, “do not think, just relax”.

He closed his eyes, but another question flashed in his head, he opened his eyes, “why do every time I think about these details, I get tired and have a strong desire to sleep?

All the time I was like this, the more I think about it, the more I get to what is happening to me now! An overwhelming desire to sleep! I always wake up having regained my senses from the madness of thinking.

Perhaps it is the sleep of escaping from reality, for every human being you see, if something goes wrong with him or he has an exam or test, you see him sleep for long hours. Psychologists called it the sleep of escaping from reality.

He wanted it, maybe a whole day, a week, it’s okay, the important thing is to get out of these thoughts!

Damn it, Baibars is already on the verge of madness. He heard a voice in his head,” stop thinking and fell asleep. Do not do anything else now”.

He succumbed to the call, lost all his power.

seconds and fell into a deep sleep, nothing kills time like sleep.
