imperfections

Whether it was the medical researcher or the guards of the Freedom Corps, they were all silent in front of Lin Jingshu, not daring to say a word.

Dr. Harden looked at her with a strange look: "Jing Shu, do you know what you are talking about?"

The blood in Lin Jingshu's eyes faded away quickly, and her tone softened: "It's nothing, Grandpa Harden, I'm sorry, it's just angry words. The living dead are better than the dead, right? We don't know..."

"No, you know," Dr. Harden's attitude was rare, he propped up his back from the wheelchair, and said in a hoarse voice, "You know, you are as smart as Laura, you can't tell what Is it 'alive' or 'dead'? Except that the gasping corpse looks better than the bones, what is the difference between being buried in an ecological cabin and being buried in a grave? You are afraid, you are afraid that he will wake up, you are afraid of facing He, you are still afraid of facing yourself, you just want to..."

With a soft "click" sound from his wheelchair, Lin Jingshu opened the anti-slip and fixed Dr. Harden in place.

The wheelchair shook slightly, and Dr. Harden hurriedly held on to the armrest.

"Here, I have the final say, doctor." Lin Jingshu raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and the tip became a sharp angle. Then, she straightened up, took a deep look into the isolation door of the laboratory, and said every word. He said suddenly, "I said, maintain, maintain, present, status - all right, wait for his condition to stabilize, come and tell me immediately, Dr. Harden is getting old, you should send him back to rest early, don't let him keep Sit here."

"Jingshu, that's your wishful thinking," Dr. Harden seemed determined to make trouble with her this day, "What about him? If he refuses to maintain the status quo, what are you going to do? Kill him yourself?"

Lin Jingshu paused.

Dr. Harden said: "This world cannot revolve around someone's wishes. No one is a god, and no one can control everything. Jingshu, don't you understand at this point?"

Lin Jingshu ignored him, her slender high-heeled shoes hit the ground one after another, and walked away.

She thought that Lin Jingheng was only trapped in the eighth galaxy because of a temporary shortage of money, and was targeted by those maggots only because of the big tree, so as long as the whole pool of water was mixed, he would be able to take the opportunity to get out of trouble.

She thought she had picked an excellent time, and directly shattered the fragile umbilical cord between the alliance and the central army in various places, causing the entire alliance to fall apart. The helpless people knew that Eden was hopeless, so they could only throw themselves into the arms of opium.

But everything backfired.

Lin Jingheng, a majestic general of the alliance, is holding the unique and good card of the Silver Ten Guards in his hand. As long as he thinks, there is no position he can't defeat in the eight galaxies, inside and outside the domain, and there is no person he can't kill. Lin Jingshu can't figure it out. What kind of head drop was made to be able to play a good hand of cards into such a virtue.

And two years ago, when the Freedom Legion could have expanded rapidly and had no scruples, her biggest obstacle was not the Alliance, the Central Army, or other pirates, but the damn Silver Ten Guards!

Through her base, the re-summoned Silver Ten Guards!

why?

Has Lin Jingheng guessed that she is the person behind the Freedom Legion?Lin Jingshu didn't want to think about this question at all——

If he hadn't guessed that all of this was just a mistake, wouldn't it mean that fate was against her?The shadow of fate has entangled her for more than 50 years, forcing her to go all the way she can. If she still can't get rid of the so-called "fate", then what's the point of her living in the world?

If Lin Jingheng guessed...

Lin Jingshu walked faster and faster, as if chasing a monster that would only appear in a nightmare, opening its mouth wide, ready to swallow her at any time.

But many things are like a balance swinging left and right, always falling in the direction people don't want. "Murphy's Law" not only applies to those who are weak and hypocritical, and have improper expectations of life, but also to Powerful murderer and conspirator.

Just as they couldn't make Lin Jingheng alive and kicking at the beginning, they couldn't "maintain the status quo" at this time either.

That unexpected signal disturbance interfered with the mental network, like the sound of stinging rain, revived everything that was sleeping, and it was unstoppable.

Although Lin Jingheng's body has not yet woken up, the activity of brain waves is becoming more and more frequent.

In the beginning, it took ten and a half months to catch a slight reaction from him, and then there would be a little movement every two or three days, and then, his brain waves began to flow continuously like a tide.

"Look, doctor," the doctor said to Dr. Harden, "this morning, his brain waves were particularly active. We scanned his brain and the mental network, and found that he had a weak human-computer interaction with the mental network at that time—like He's 'looking' out through the psychic web."

Dr. Harden said in a deep voice: "His consciousness is recovering."

"It should have recovered." The doctor said, "Today we successfully communicated with him once, and we connected a simple typewriter to the machine port of the mental network."

Dr. Harden looked up abruptly.

"It's just some simple words or words, and he can't hold on to a sentence that is too long. We asked him how he felt physically and whether he had any discomfort. After about four or 10 minutes, he replied 'no'."

"No? No discomfort?"

"That's not true. Given his current condition, his body should not feel any sensation yet," the doctor immediately lowered his voice, "Doctor, believe me, we dare not give him extra stimulation without the master's instructions, and we will never dare Give him extra drugs and biochips, and the entire configuration of the eco-chamber is exactly the same as before."

Dr. Harden: "Um... what?"

"I don't want to say such things," said the doctor, "but if the master insists on achieving the effect of 'maintaining the status quo', from my professional point of view, he can only use some inhibitory drugs to suppress his neural activity. .”

As the first owner of the White Tower, Dr. Harden is an expert in the Garden of Eden and human-computer interaction. He understood immediately that the "drugs that inhibit nerve activity" that the doctor called were obviously not ordinary sleeping pills.

If it was said that Lin Jingheng's situation was "reckless", then the extra medicine would completely kill this soul.

"Doctor, what shall we do?"

Harden was silent for a while: "Go ask Lin Jingshu if she has decided to make a specimen of her own brother."

Lin Jingshu is very busy. With the dormancy of the Anti-Ukraine Society and the alliance with the Central Army, most of the activities of the Freedom Legion have turned underground, keeping a low profile and waiting for the next opportunity to pierce the alliance—this is not difficult, Lin Jingshu believes, because the current situation Unity and justice are based on lies. The Alliance has deceived the world with a lie for nearly 300 years. Repeating the old trick is just the last struggle of the grasshopper after autumn.What's more, the statistics speak for themselves. Despite the Freedom Corps' going underground, the number of opium users continues to rise at a steady rate.

And no matter how busy she is, she still insists on going to the asteroid once every three days.

The doctor tactfully explained Lin Jingheng's current situation and Dr. Harden's questioning to her, but Lin Jingshu remained silent for a long time after listening.

The doctor then said: "If you decide to use suppressive drugs, the regimen and dispensing have been completed, and they are stored in the medical cabin next to it, ready to be done at any time."

Lin Jingshu walked to the door of the laboratory, paused, and interrupted him: "You all go out, don't bother me."

The doctor shut his mouth in a well-trained manner, called everyone in the laboratory away, and cleared the field together with the guards at the gate to a distance of 50 meters.

The environment of the ecological cabin is completely isolated from the outside world, and the people inside are well taken care of. Through the transparent cover, you can even see that there is some blood on his face, and his expression is peaceful, as if he is just taking a nap... a little strange, Lin Jingshu thought .In her impression, Lin Jingheng was always cold, her brows were a little uneasy, and her eyes were sharp.

Does this face also have a peaceful, almost gentle expression?

"They told me that you are trying to use the spirit net, so can you hear me now?"

The people in the ecological cabin did not respond, nor did the scanner or the small screen connected to the spirit network. Lin Jingshu observed for a while with her hands behind her back, thinking that it might be time for him to "rest".

She slowly sat down beside her, put her fingers on the medical cabin next to her, and carefully traced a button—as long as she pressed it, the medical cabin would extend the syringe and automatically inject the suppressive medicine into the ecological cabin, and he would Back to sleep.

"Living is tiring, don't you think?" Lin Jingshu propped her elbows on her knees, holding her face as if overwhelmed, and said softly. Of course, Lin Jingheng couldn't answer, so she tilted her head and lowered her gaze. Looking at him, "They said that you entered the Ulan Military Academy at the age of 14, and you were an outstanding graduate of that class as soon as you entered the school. After graduation, you have been the eye of the alliance's storm. These years must have been overwhelming, right?"

"You certainly haven't read novels, I've read quite a few, and they don't like me trying too hard, so I just do what they want and immerse myself in as boring pastimes as possible—you know, the setting of horror stories and adventure stories It's very similar, the main character of both stories will meet terrible villains, and the other party will try to kill them, but do you know the difference?"

Lin Jingshu paused, and said to herself: "For example, a person has relatives and friends, a job, a life, and many big and small wishes in his heart... Then one day, when he came home from work, When you find that the door of the house is open, there is a murderer hiding behind the door waiting to bite off his neck. When you see this, you will be terrified and have many associations, wondering if his family members are dead, and how he can escape. Even if he can escape, will he be hunted down in the future? What will happen to his job? Will his current life be ruined by this, and will his life end like this? This is a horror story. But the same scene , the same murderer, what if the protagonist is replaced by another perverted murderer? When you see this, not only do you not feel scared, but you will be very excited. You just want to see how the protagonist kills the opponent wonderfully. This is an adventure story, Jingheng , which one do you like?"

Lin Jingheng remained silent.

Lin Jingshu smiled at him: "Do you know what kind of conclusion I can draw when comparing these two stories? The more things you care about, the more fear you will have, and the easier it is to be driven to a desperate situation, step by step. People in desperation will collapse, go crazy, and even scare themselves to death—unless you become like them, give up those desires that hold you back, let go, and you will have nothing to fear."

"Do you know why the management committee chose me?"

"Because on the day Laura left, she sneaked into the incubator and forcibly lifted you and me out of the incubator more than ten days in advance. So you have always regarded yourself as a big brother. Maybe it doesn't make sense. Maybe you were just born She was a little heavier than me when she was born, and she just looks bigger... The management committee received a report and forced her father to send troops to hunt her down. She and her partner took the two of us away separately, and the partner was secretly arrested and brought you down In their hands, I was taken into the mecha by her...until she blew herself up, put me into the ecological cabin and threw me out."

"Because of this, they have always suspected that there is something on me."

"They took us away on the grounds of 'Health Examination for Premature Babies' and found that my mental threshold was more than seven standard deviations above the mean. Do you believe that I am a genius? Coincidentally, the management committee did not believe it either. So my father Lin After Vi's death, they tried their best to take me away. But guess what? My 'genius' was actually made by Laura with a shot of semi-permanent soothing agent. Until I became an adult, the effect gradually faded, and they Only then did she realize that she had been cheated. She had already given the forbidden fruit to Lu Xin. In order to attract the attention of the management committee, she did not hesitate to use her own child as a bait. If it wasn't for Lin Wei's death, Lu Xin jumped out to fight against them. The fact that the forbidden fruit is in his place may never be revealed."

"The semi-permanent soothing agent was banned as early as the establishment of the alliance, because there is a high probability that it will cause irreversible damage to the nervous system. I haven't experienced it yet. Maybe I am not old enough, maybe I will become dementia when I get old?"

"This was supposed to be the fate of the two of us. You ran away. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel very jealous and hate you. We are all the same. Why? But sometimes I am very lucky, because you It's another me...but Jingheng, are you...really another me now?"

"For decades, my every move has been monitored. They are committed to training me to be an obedient dog. I have probably used more illegal drugs than you, a person who has been dealing with pirates, has seen."

"There are also those supernatural remnants of the White Tower, Dr. Harden who escaped the monitoring of the Garden of Eden, a saint, who was once betrayed by his subordinates and fled incognito for many years. Even old friends and the most beloved students refused to believe it. Maybe only Can a little girl who has nothing make him feel at ease?" Lin Jingshu glanced meaningfully at the laboratory monitor, with a bit of a sharp smile on her red lips, "He is worried that this little girl will be involved in the management committee's unscrupulous actions. After being brainwashed to become a fool, I spared no effort to hide Chen Cang, keep in touch with her, and constantly pull her soul in the opposite direction, in the name of saving her and preserving her 'free nature'."

"Free nature - such a luxury, she dared not even think about it, she thought it would be nice to just have a little 'cheap' personal freedom, but why not, dear Dr. Harden? Because you need a viper of your own, bite Into the root system of the management committee, isn't it? Then don't complain, isn't it normal for a person who raises a poisonous snake to be bitten by a poisonous snake?"

Maybe it was an illusion, but the surveillance camera slowly turned at an angle, as if he couldn't bear to look at her.

At this time, the scanner on the eco-cabin suddenly moved a little, and the people in the eco-chamber had weak brain activity.

Lin Jingshu raised her head abruptly, staring at the curve on the instrument for a moment, she reached out to caress Lin Jingheng's face through the transparent cover, with a cold smile on her face: "Stay with me, I only have you left. "

After she finished speaking, she turned to the medical cabin: "Start the process of suppressive drug injection."

The medical cabin issued an emotionless alarm: "Inhibitory drugs will cause unpredictable damage to the patient's nervous system, are you sure?"

Lin Jingshu: "..."

The medical cabin asked the empty laboratory again: "Are you sure?"

At this time, a single word suddenly appeared on the screen connected to the spirit net: "...who?"

The people who control the spirit network are very laborious, and even a simple word is misspelled.

Lin Jingshu was shocked violently.

The scanner showed that he was constantly trying to expand the spiritual net, and "looked" out through the spiritual net. The scanner showed that the invisible spiritual net permeated over and gradually enveloped the position where she was standing. Lin Jingshu trembled finely, unexpectedly Have the urge to run away.

There was a moment of silence on the screen, and then another line appeared: "Who are you?"

This time, he automatically corrected the spelling mistake just now, but Lin Jingshu didn't notice, her eyes were blurred, and she couldn't wipe it off: "Don't you know me?"

The medical cabin asked for the third time: "Are you sure?"

On the small screen connected to the spirit network, a word appeared slowly: "...you?"

Lin Jingshu suddenly grabbed the robotic hand raised in the medical cabin behind her: "Do you still remember who you are?"

"……Do not."

The word "No" dissipated immediately, and another line of writing with misspellings appeared: "Don't cry."

These three words defeated her. Lin Jingshu turned around suddenly and escaped from the laboratory. She seemed to be unbearable, unable to stay on this asteroid for a second, and left directly in the mecha, and three hours later , ordered the destruction of the mecha transceiver station and all space vehicles on the asteroid, and shielded all its external signals with the special electromagnetic shielding net of the space prison, turning this small planet into a cage isolated from the world.

There is only one prisoner in the cage, trapped here with the "Jailor" of a planet.

A hundred days later, the "prisoner" successfully exited the spirit net for the first time and opened his own eyes.

He had been lying down for too long, and he was no longer used to his body. Only the eyeballs could move, and the gray eyes looked very clear, as if he had forgotten all his joys and sorrows and had nothing to worry about.

Dr. Harden, who was left behind, walked in alone with a wheelchair, waved his hand, let everyone go out, and blocked the surveillance in the laboratory.

Lin Jingheng looked at him with calm eyes, as if he didn't recognize this famous alliance rebel at all, and was a little curious.

The two lay down and sat down, staring at each other in silence for a long time.

"When the brain is damaged, it is impossible to fully control the mental network, and it is difficult to maintain normal consciousness activities. This is when a person is the most honest." Dr. Harden said.

Lin Jingheng blinked lightly, but there was nothing in his eyes.

"So when he was determined to lie, there were some uncontrolled errors, like spelling," Dr. Harden said.

The clear, innocent gray eyes cooled.
