“Select(ed) fans … received flash drives in the mail after being amongst the first to find the final code in the LOC game (in) June”, according to @TOPUPDATERS.
“Upon completing code 20, there was a form that asked for people’s addresses, the first 500 people to enter their address would receive a USB, these have arrived today.” Spark_Visualssaid.
“All files from the flash drives” were uploaded to WeTransfer and can be downloaded within 7 days via this link. It contains “Trench” artwork (.ai & .psd), “Blurryface” videos (.mov), unreleased demos, and two videos shot by Tyler and Josh.
USB drive content
Several demos from the drive, including “Disco” were uploaded to YouTube. From the folder name “Old Demos 2011”, they seems to be from the RAB era.
“Old Demos 2011”
Tyler & Josh both shot a video for this USB drive, to show gratitude to their dedicated fans. Both videos were uploaded to YouTube (1, 2).
Spark pointed out that, “in the background of tylers video, the TV lights up with LOC glyphs, which when translated read ‘CLANCY IS DEAD'”.
Notice that, back in March 2019, Tyler hinted to NME that Clancy will “plays a huge role in the narrative” of their follow-up album to Trench.
twenty one pilots 在数天前宣布了将在 2020/6/12 美东 12:00 在 YouTube 举办一场直播活动；Tyler Joseph 表示，他希望以这个活动作为一个「载体」达到与追随者连接的目的，来填补发片后无法通过巡演与追随者进行沟通的空缺期；他认为追随者会喜欢他们准备好的内容，但保证不会与新的音乐作品有关。

They’re asleep. The night took forever to arrive, and now we’re almost ready. We’ve studied the watchers, and know that there’s no chance that we can step through unnoticed. So, instead of trying to hide ourselves, we’ll make sure that all of us are noticed. It’s been one year since the last convocation, and tomorrow’s Annual Assemblage of Glorified will be the biggest spectacle this concrete coffin of a city has seen all year. If we time it right, we’ll divert the attention of the watchers and finally take the step through. We’ve had no contact, but we’re hoping the other side will be able to find a way in. We’re not sure of the breach location, but we are willing to risk being smeared in order to find it. We know that we must go lower, and wait for the torches. They’ve never seen anything quite like this, and by morning, everything will be different. I’m terrified and excited, all at the same time. They don’t control us.
-Clancy
克兰西的第四篇日记描述了他谋划出了一个逃离德玛的计划。他在日记中写道，一个契机是明天举行的“年度荣耀集合”（Annual Assemblage of Glorified）召集仪式，他还说他们已经一年没有进行召集仪式了。日记最后，克兰西说，“天亮之前，一切都会不一样。”
this is worldwide trends, not trends tailored to me or anything. we are #1 trending right now. i can only imagine why tyler and josh are thinking about that. pic.twitter.com/QLXBt3fH7M
但是等到八点，情况发生了转变。所有订阅了 twentyonepilots.com 的 newsletter 的粉丝都收到了一封名为“ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING?”（你还在睡觉吗？）的邮件（在 web 上查看这封邮件）。邮件为黑色背景和一张名为areyoustilllsleeping.gif 的图片（图片链接，存档），显示的是黑色背景中一只只睁开一条缝的黄色眼睛，眼珠在不停转动。
这一封电子邮件所传递的最大信息是，twenty one pilots 已经（快）睡醒了 – 因为一年之前的今天，他们“闭上了眼睛”。而这次更新与之前几次不同的地方是，dmaorg.info 还是一个少部分核心粉丝关注的东西，大部分听众还不知道这件事情呢 – 他们没那么无聊，或者他们都懒得去关心这样的“阴谋论” – 全都是假的！但这一次，所有的粉丝都收到了官方的通告 – 这是他们要回归的正式信息。
而这种只睁开一条缝的眼睛形状，也会让人想起他们闭眼之前的最后一张照片。
另外，top__today 提出了理论， 认为这其实是月相。
the night when the moon is out. when the moon is out tomorrow, it should look the same way the gif looks when you put east up, i shouldn’t have to explain that part. so tomorrow could be their planned day top “escape dema” or return. pic.twitter.com/jyvSzlVL1s

so if this moon thing is true, i’m giving my last hopes to july 7th, tomorrow, as an announcement/return. if not tomorrow, definitely july 13th. pic.twitter.com/USTvHT9AF3
My hope of something more is all I have in this rigid tomb, and I will not let it die. As their penance fades, so dims their memory of something more. The only significant light I’ve seen has been in the eyes of those smeared – such a curious sight, to see bright eyes strangled by the darkness of bishop hands. We used to close our eyes and picture a better life, now this city is full of dry eyes caught in a trance of obedience, devoid of any trace of an identity. Am I the only one not afraid of the notion that the nine have hijacked our trust, and extinguished the hope that once motivated our existence? Am I the only one who realizes that we’ve been lied to? When the bishops instituted Vialism as mandate, they effectively reversed the hope that many arrived with. How did they so efficiently eradicate the dreams within us? But what I call a sentence, others accept as normalcy. It’s this glow that reminds us of the dreamless existence we’ve been sentenced to. Never could I imagine that something so luminous could feel so dark. A lifeless light surrounds us each night.
照片的附注日期为 017 07MOON 17。附注文字为 __n_ot_myo_nly_fri_en d。显然，这是 Vessel 专辑最后一首歌《Truce》一句歌词，“I hope I’m not my only friend.” 这呼应了去年七月神秘事件的第四只眼睛，“I will fear the night again.”
most updates so far have had pretty self explanatory names. this one, looks like an upcoming date, but i cannot figure it out. “2018_514_3_8”. so 2018, but then??? pic.twitter.com/JqBvv3AlHj
To refer to Dema as my home has never felt accurate. Dema, to me, has simply been the place that I’ve existed, or, the ‘slot’ they’ve put me in. I’ve heard stories about the idea of “home,” and its depiction has always seemed warm from the storyteller’s description. There was a romantic ownership of the place they inhabited that I admired, but could never relate to. This place, my place, however, seems devoid of the romance and wonder that the old stories tell. But somewhere between the iron order and infallible precision of Dema, a hum of wonder exists. It’s this quiet wonder that my mind tends to gets lost in. This hope of discovery alone has birthed a new version of myself; A better version, I hope, that will find a way to experience what’s beyond these colossal walls.
以下是与此相关的猜测与理论：
top__today 发现确实的字母连起来是“you are still sleeping”。这暗示 Blurryface 未死，而是“还在睡觉”。
他认为去年七月的天黑请闭眼神秘事件当中，第一句是“You’ll have to come and find me.”这句话对应的事件是让歌迷通过 GIF 找到这个网址，看到这封信。而第二句“My pretty sleeper.”对应的是今天的新事件 – 与“you are still sleeping”对应。
既然一共有六句话，那么看起来接下来还会有更多的神秘事件发生，也说明新歌/专辑的消息还可以等上一阵子。接下来四句话分别是“Wouldn’t it be great if we could just lay down?”和“I will fear the night again.”和“Nobody dreams when they blink.”和“Remember the morning is when night is dead.”
