Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 217 NO.00d8: I will help you recover from your brain injury.

In this day and age, one must be cautious when working as a private detective.

After all, when your daily job is to deal with policemen, gangsters, various middlemen, as well as dangerous people such as murderers, cyber psychotics, and external company employees. And he didn't know whether the case he was investigating and what was behind it would make him die from a cold shot in the back in an alley. Prudence becomes the only thing you can control.

Jim Leiter, who is nearly 40 years old, is a very cautious person.

In six years of working in this industry, the number of business commissions passed through Jim's hands has reached three figures. Among them, the number of cases that were perfectly solved and those that were ultimately messed up was almost evenly divided - considering that he always worked alone and never took on divorce cases, this was actually a very difficult level to reach.

But what is even more valuable is that in the six years of his career, he has only been injured four times in nearly two hundred cases - and one of them was unfortunately involved in an unexpected incident during the investigation. Gangs fight.

Whenever his informants or colleagues praised his superb professional skills with a look of surprise on his face and said "Why are you not dead yet?", he would always patiently tell his secret:

“Observe what is happening and learn to empathize with the other person.”

Even though Jim was telling his real secret, most people thought he was lying.

The truth is, whether they are clients, witnesses, or perpetrators, they are ultimately human beings. As long as we are human, we have human emotions and weaknesses.

And Jim Leiter is very good at observing and utilizing this - empathy is his most handy weapon.

Relying on this talent of his, he has avoided twenty-three murders in advance in his career, discouraged twelve critical gang fights, and even prevented six potential cyberpsychotic rampages from destroying him. Tear into pieces…

Jim once thought his luck could continue like this.

However, one late night in early July, in his home that seemed to have been visited by a nest of huskies, on the soft spring bed where he slept every night...two nine-millimeter bullets were inserted into his brain, completely Dispelled his idea.

"You asked me if this can be cured..."

Hans Breton, a doctor at the "Porcupine Prosthetic Clinic", pushed up the detector on the bridge of his nose, fixed it on his forehead, then rubbed his eyes and said:

"Let's put it this way, the intracranial cavity can be repaired with biological protein gel as a filler, and the cracked skull needs to be fixed with a stent. However, the external wound can be transplanted with a piece of cloned skin, or you can spend more money to directly replace it with bionic skin……"

"That's not what I asked."

Jim sighed slightly.

He turned to look at the X-ray film taken earlier, looking at the two bullets embedded deep in his brain, feeling the blood rushing to his head.

Although he has never experienced anything similar in his life, this scene is really familiar...

"I'm not asking you to put a bandage on and pretend the wound doesn't exist, but I want you to help me heal it..."

Jim said.

"Cure?"

"Porcupine Hans", who has more than 20 years of experience as a prosthetic doctor - according to his own words - can prepare a BBQ dinner for five people and perform a craniotomy to repair the arachnoid membrane, repeating Jim in a weird accent The last two words of , and then continued:

"My job is to be a doctor, not a damn necromancer. Even the hippocampus has been shattered. I don't even understand why you are still alive now."

Because someone (me) likes to be nosy.

As Jim Leiter...he is also Jiang Zhou, so he thought.

The Cyber ​​Son performed a miracle, allowing himself to be reborn after death and become a part of the god.

Recalling that the "Holy Trinity Cult", which I thought was purely brain-dead in the past, Jim, who is now truly "brain-dead", was saved by the miracle of the legendary "First Deep Diver" - this really makes me feel extremely ironic. .

Especially through his own hands, he once sent several Holy Trinity fanatical believers to a virtual prison for life imprisonment - they pretended to be caregivers and installed puppet circuits on children less than three years old.

But fortunately, the "First Deep Diver" himself also thinks that the Holy Trinity is a bunch of idiots, and the two of them have no differences on this matter.

As for why I chose myself...

At Jiang Zhou's current level, he can connect two more "controllable elements" in the Janus program. However, the goddess of the dark moon "Hecate" took away one of the places. Therefore, when Jiang Zhou chose controllable elements to connect again, he only had one vacancy left.

To this end, he carefully browsed the sixty-six controllable element options that the "Janus Program" had prepared for him in the Nord resettlement area. Although the overall goal of the Janus Program design, It is to enable all human beings to understand each other. But at least for now, when Jiang Zhou selects the initial controllable factors, he will naturally give priority to those who have the same interests and three views to connect with.

There is no need to proactively make it difficult for yourself from the beginning.

And it was also at this time that something happened to one of the sixty-six controllable factors - someone put two bullets into his brain.

"Okay...if that makes you feel better."

These were Jim Leiter's last words - he couldn't tell to whom.

Then there were faint sobs, two dull gunshots that were muffled by the pillow, and a bright flash in the sight, like the feeling of a red-hot iron being inserted into the skull...

In the end, it just keeps falling, all the way to the bottomless abyss.

Until he was forcibly fished out by a guy from a hundred years ago, and filled the missing part of him with his own soul.

Liao Qi's previous experience showed that after the brain was injured, Jiang Zhou could save the other person's life through connection. Coupled with "Jim Leiter", a detective who has been involved in various religions and professions, he is one of Jiang Zhou's favorite candidates. Now that such an unexpected situation occurred, it gave him a push and made him finally make up his mind.

So, when Jim Leiter woke up from death, he found that there were two more bullets and another human consciousness in his brain.

Perhaps in order to make some space for these extra things, Jim lost a lot of memories - most of which were related to why he was put to the head with a gun and shot twice in his own home. .

He forgot who he was and why he wanted to kill him.

The only thing Jim still vaguely remembers is...

"The shooter should have been a woman."

When Hans, the prosthetic doctor, took out a pack of biological protein gel with the "Apollo Bio" logo printed on it from the refrigerator nearby, he suddenly said.

“When the gun was fired at close range, because the wrist did not have enough strength to suppress the recoil, the gun flames burned away a few strands of hair and a small piece of scalp.

"If the other party is not a child with hairless hair, then there is a high probability that it is a slender woman."

In response, Jim nodded and said:

"I remember hearing a woman crying."

After finishing speaking, he silently counted in his mind the women he knew and had the motivation to do this - when he counted with two hands, he stopped and asked directly:

"Is there any treatment that can help me recall more details?"

Dr. Hans's hands stiffened for a moment, then he shook his head.

"You seem to be asking me, I smashed the memory with a hammer, can you help me restore the data inside? The medium carrying your memory has been destroyed, is there any way I can help you recall it? "

"in other words……"

Jim stretched his neck slightly.

"I spent five thousand Ore to come to you, and all you can do in the end is help me take out the bullet in my brain?"

As soon as these words came out, Dr. Hans's face suddenly showed an embarrassed look - Jim, who was extremely sensitive to other people's emotions, instantly understood the meaning hidden under the other person's expression.

"Wait a minute...you don't mean to tell me..."

He said as he struggled to sit up, but the other party held him down.

"Isn't there a saying that if the program can run, then never touch it...According to common sense, you should be dead by now. But it may be because you have made adjustments to your brain in the past The reason is, those two bullets are embedded in your brain, but you can still be alive and kicking as if nothing is wrong."

As the doctor spoke, he injected the bioprotein gel into the instrument suspended above Jim's head.

"You have made adjustments in the past. The implants in your brain are not the company's products but AI technology. I don't dare to mess with this. Maybe you will die on the spot as soon as I take out the two bullets. .”

He said so.

"Then you can't just let these two bullets stay in my head!"

Jim protested:

"Wouldn't it mean that every time I go through the security check and the instrument scans my head, I will scream?"

"It doesn't matter, who do you think I am? I am a prosthetic doctor with a professional medical license. I can help you register and install the brain plug-in in the database. With the verification information, the networked security equipment will not sound an alarm. "

As Dr. Hans spoke, he began to pour "biological protein gel" into the hideous wound on the other person's head to seal the wound.

"Then I will help you Photoshop the brain damage map into a brain implant, add a verification serial number and upload it to the database. In this way, you will be no different from a normal person on weekdays, and you can enter and exit various public places at will. ”
