Delusion Master

After Bai Yuan fed the cat, he put it in his coat pocket, left the room, and went downstairs to drive.

More than two hours later, he arrived at the outskirts of the city where the Brain Development Research Institute is located, parked the car and turned off the engine.The research institute with many buildings and a huge area is like a super starship, majestic and silently moored in the night.

Bai Yuan approached the gate, and found that the big characters of "Brain Domain Development Research Institute" had disappeared, and the wall where the inscriptions were originally written was blank, and he was not used to it.But this also confirmed his and Wei Lin's conjecture from another aspect: in reality, although Li Minxing came here because he participated in the experiment, he shielded and rejected it from his subconscious mind, causing this place to become a fringe zone in his mind. The light shining through the object is a kind of chaotic gray.

It is very suitable to be the lair of the villain and the base of evil, Bai Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, and put his palm on the blank wall.

The faint light was intertwined, and radiated in all directions from under his palm.The gate, the wall, and the buildings connected to it all undergo strange changes in this dim light—as if countless giant Rubik's cubes slide, rotate, separate, and splice, constantly changing their own properties, and like countless precision parts Disassembled and reassembled by invisible forces, with an extremely precise, mechanical coldness and beauty.

The light gradually dimmed, and a brand-new appearance of the research institute appeared in front of our eyes: dark gray metallic color, cold and efficient shape, and an awe-inspiring but shocking inorganic atmosphere.

Bai Yuan withdrew his palm, took a deep breath, and continued walking inside.

Along the way, there was no vitality or popularity. He was like the source of power in this chaos. Wherever he stepped, there were faint blue lights flickering. Mechanical puppet.

If Wei Lin was on the scene at this time, he would immediately find that they borrowed the images of his colleagues and superiors, and now they are standing still, ready to be activated with just one command.

The gloomy light surges inward from the door like a sea tide, and Baiyuan is the crest of the waves, the light source, and the starting point of all changes.Within the scope of his ability, he is the creator of all substances and rules.

When he was about to walk to the main building in the center of the institute, he stopped, closed his eyes, and felt a slight and weak dizziness.However, only 40% of the planned progress has been completed and must continue to be pushed forward.

He put his palm on the pillar at the entrance of the main building, and the corridors, stairs, laboratories, and basements of the entire building were transformed one by one, just like an unparalleled designer in the world, transforming the huge and complex ideas on the drawings, Come to reality with a magical speed and momentum.

When he opened his eyes, the main part of the Dark Empire had already been built, and the top floor of this building would be the hideout of the villain boss.

There was a stabbing pain in the brain, and clusters of steel needles seemed to pierce the skull and shoot out from the scalp.Bai Yuan knew that this was a warning from his brain for excessive use of mental abilities, but he didn't stop there.He is like a harsh and exhaustive perfectionist, calculating the limit in an expressive manner, and does not allow any mistakes and defects, this is true for others, and it is also true for himself; the plans and goals set after careful consideration, no matter what It must be implemented satisfactorily and overfulfilled.

He glanced at the remaining part, about 20% of the completion was still missing, so he continued to move forward, but his steps were much heavier than before.

Wei Lin woke up from a light sleep and checked the time: 25:[-] in the morning.It was getting dark outside the window, and he was about to continue falling asleep, tossing and turning, but his drowsiness was like banknotes in a bank escort car going farther and farther.

Guess Bai Yuan's side is not over yet, and he can't sleep anyway, so why not just harass him and ask about the progress, Wei Lin thought.

He jumped up from the bed, still wearing the white short-sleeved T-shirt as pajamas, walked to the mirror of the washstand and started calling Bai Yuan.The call application lasted for a long time, and when he thought that Bai Yuan was deliberately ignoring him and was about to hang up, the other party suddenly connected.

The other party's face did not appear in the mirror, but a large black piece of something. After careful identification, Wei Lin found that it seemed to be a suspended ceiling on the ceiling, and the clarity was not high.

From this angle of looking up, Bai Yuan seems to have put the image projection screen on... the smooth marble floor?What's the matter, the institute is full of windows, you can't even find a piece of glass?Wei Lin couldn't help but slander.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Bai Yuan's voice came, as cold as a glass of tasteless cold water.

I have nothing to do, just can't sleep, looking for you to entertain me - of course, it is impossible for Wei Lin to shake out what is in his heart, and said in a high-sounding manner: "I want to ask about your progress, can you really finish it in time before dawn? I know that your ability assessment is A-level, but it may take three to five days to complete the research institute covering an area of ​​more than [-] acres. I said Bai Xiansen, you should not be so conscientious, we have only been here for a few days, it is not so easy to fall 'of."

"Have you finished talking nonsense? I'm hanging up." Bai Yuan said.

A circle of small ripples suddenly sputtered from the edge of the mirror, like ripples on the surface of water.

"Wait a minute." Wei Lin called out, and at the same time, another ripple bloomed beside him.

This time he could see clearly that it was a large raindrop falling from the sky and hitting the image projection—to be precise, it hit the marble floor that Bai Yuan was pressing on with his palm.

Where did the raindrops come from indoors?Wei Lin suddenly realized that Bai Yuancai's voice was not only cold, but also concealed a weakness and pain that he tried his best to conceal, as if he was trying to endure it.

...The water droplets just now were cold sweat?Is he exhausted?The more Wei Lin thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and said, "Put your face into the projection frame and show me."

Bai Yuan ended the call.

Wei Lin withdrew his hand, touched his chin, and said to himself: "This guy is not right. The last time I refused people thousands of miles away, I hid an ugly cat under the bed. I saw it. What happened this time?" He walked to the bed, got into the soft blanket, and thought: Who cares, anyway, I can handle my own division of labor.If I'm meddling in my own business, this smelly and tough guy may not appreciate it, and he might have another fight.

He chose a comfortable position to lie down and closed his eyes.After seven or eight minutes, he threw off the quilt abruptly, jumped up from the bed, picked up the coat on the bedside table, and walked to the door of the guest room.

Anyway, if you have insomnia, why don't you join in the fun and treat it as a way to pass the time, Wei Lin said to himself.

+ + + + + +

Wei Lin left the hotel, took a driverless taxi on the street in the middle of the night, and went to the Brain Development Research Institute at the foot of the northern suburb.

It was four o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the destination, the sky was still as deep as ink, and the long night of early autumn had not yet passed.When Wei Lin got off the car, he could hardly recognize the main gate.

In front of you is a gangway-like metal step, extending upwards to two grand gates nearly 30 meters wide.The gate is in the shape of a convex arc, with a dark silver-gray alloy surface, and the grooves and some translucent light-transmitting panels outline a symmetrical pattern.The door is of the split type, and the central part is tightly closed.

Wei Lin walked around the arc-shaped gate and found that it was integrated with the alloy wall of the same color, as if it was a small part of the edge of a giant disc.There was a palm-sized square hole beside the crack of the door. He tried to put his hand in, but his fingers felt the slight pain of being pricked by the needle point.After a while, green characters lit up on the miniature screen next to it: "DNA verification passed. Identity code: 250."

Wei Lin was immediately laughed at by Bai Yuan's ubiquitous cautious eyes: "You are only two hundred and five!"

The door slid open to both sides with a slight mechanical sound, Wei Lin looked inward, and whistled involuntarily in surprise: This is——

Relying on his super memory and spatial imagination, as well as some remnants of the building layout of the research institute, Wei Lin went through the airlock cabin, through the corridor full of curved load-bearing columns, and entered the turbo elevator, and found that the floor he was on was the D floor , there are layers E to G below the ground, and layers C to A above the ground.

From this point of view, Bai Yuan has sunk the original main building of the institute below the ground, together with the outer walls and auxiliary buildings including the treatment center, and transformed it into a starship style. It is really a shocking masterpiece!

Wei Lin was astounded by his terrifying ability to realize in the "absolute field", while rushing non-stop to the bridge on the top A floor - where was once the nerve center of the research institute, the super-intelligent optical brain "Nebula" where the control center is located.It was the ceiling of the control center that he saw in the projection of the information ring before, it can be seen that Bai Yuan's transformation of the main bridge area has not been completed, and the other party should still be there.

Not long after, he arrived at the main bridge area, which was in a perfect circle and arranged into several workstations, and he found Bai Yuan's figure in one of the workstations.The other party was sitting on the ground with his back against a pillar, one leg extended, the other bent, his left hand resting on his knee, and his right palm supporting the metal floor.

The cold light from the nearby display screen shone on his side face, coating the slightly protruding browbones, the straight bridge of the nose, the thin and graceful lips, and the clean jaw line with a layer of brilliance that seemed unattainable.

Wei Lin was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly came back to his senses, feeling inexplicable and slightly annoyed by his brief absence.

"Bai Yuan." He called out and walked forward, only to find that the other party's eyes were closed tightly as if he was in deep sleep, but his face was green and his lips were white, his clothes were wet with sweat, and he seemed to have fallen into a coma due to exhaustion .

"...Hey, are you okay?" Wei Lin bent down and asked, a little nervous for some reason, and subconsciously held his breath.

He was about to stretch out his hand to pat Bai Yuan's cheek, when the other person slowly opened his eyelids, a tiny electric light flashed across his left eye covered with black contact lenses.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Yuan said, his voice was low but clear, "Mind your own business."

Look, I knew it would be this reaction, Wei Lin thought to himself, and the corners of his mouth curled into a half-smile: "You don't look very optimistic, Bai Xiansen, are you overloaded? Don't you know that overdrawing your ability can damage your brain?" Cells? I guess you're crying with a headache right now, like there are thousands of nanobots in there pulling saws and singing."

Bai Yuan looked at him expressionlessly: "Perhaps your ability limit is no more than this, but mine is far more than that. Also, do you know what it means to break through the limit? There is a high probability of brain damage and brain death, and a small probability of brain domain evolution ability Level up—but I doubt it means anything to you, you should just 'the experiment didn't fail', but it's not a success, at least so far, I haven't seen you have any special abilities."

Wei Lin didn't refute, and curled his lips in tacit agreement with the other party's statement.

"Even if I have special abilities, I won't push myself to the edge of a cliff like you, just for the one-thousandth possibility of deep evolution. Life is short, enjoy yourself in time, why push yourself so hard?" How tight is it?" Wei Lin tilted his head and moved a little closer, and said with a smile, "Honestly, your head is about to explode from the pain and you can still speak. I really admire you. Severe pain, dizziness, tinnitus , Vomiting, feeling of exhaustion, the sequelae of mental overload last at least eight hours, and you still have to suffer.”

"It's none of your business. You can get out now." Bai Yuan closed his eyes, kept his previous posture motionless, and ignored him no more.

Wei Lin got up and patted the hem of his clothes, then turned his head and walked towards the turbo elevator behind the workstation.The elevator door closed, he stretched out his finger, and drew a virtual circle above the floor button panel, from B to G, and from G to B, but he didn't press any of them for a long time.

The elevator hovered on the A floor, quietly waiting for the passengers to make a decision. Wei Lin sighed exaggeratedly, and his shoulders shrugged in an obvious arc.

He spread his hands, facing the mirror-smooth elevator car wall, and said in a dramatic tone: "At this moment, Bai Yuan felt the emptiness and desolation around him, the man he never regarded as a partner." It was expected, but it also caused him an indescribable disappointment. He was extremely dissatisfied with this sudden disappointment, because it showed his narcissistic heart that disdains others Yi Gu's heart has the same weakness and cracks as ordinary people. "How can I have any hope and disappointment in others? I am Bai Yuan who has broken through the sky."——Bai Yuan thought, So he forcibly suppressed this disappointment deep in his heart, and maintained his usual high-cold image with the expressionless face he is best at."

Wei Lin finished reading to the elevator car wall with emotion, folded his arms and laughed loudly. While satisfying his desire to perform, his mood improved a lot.As soon as he turned around, he pressed the door open button without hesitation, and returned to the workstation on the main bridge.

Bai Yuan still closed his eyes and sat leaning on the pillar, as if he planned to get up and leave after the period of the strongest after-effects passed.But judging from the veined back of his right hand supporting the floor, no matter how long or short this period was, every minute and every second was suffering.

Wei Lin walked up to Bai Yuan.
