Delusion Master

In the central computer room, technicians manipulated the holographic display with both hands, constantly mobilizing images and data, zooming in, analyzing, and failing to correlate, then discarding, and calling out another one.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his movements were a little restless, as if unwilling to accept the fact that he had lost his target.

After a long time, he lowered his shoulders and reported helplessly: "The coordinates of No. 1 and No. 2 have disappeared and cannot be relocated."

The middle-aged man stood in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy: "40 minutes ago, I held them firmly in my hand, and now the killing team is approaching, tell me, the target is gone?"

Another technician in front of the screen suggested nervously: "How about we start from the place where the signal disappeared and search again?"

"I don't care what method you use, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find No. 1 and No. 2!"

+ + + + + +

In the abandoned underground station, Wei Lin's fingers trembling slightly while holding the list.

Bai Yuan recovered from the shock, put his arms around his shoulders, and took the paper.

Wei Lin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Give me some time... to adjust my emotions... I've connected everything, but I can't say it now..."

Wu Jinghan looked at them sympathetically, took out another portable computer with its own power supply from the bag, and pressed the power button.The blue-white light projected into the dark space, appearing weak and miserable.

15 seconds of boot time elapsed.Wei Lin also opened his eyes, and his face almost returned to normal.

Wu Jinghan opened the completely deciphered information data, and the relevant information was spread all over the screen. He clicked one of them, and what popped up was a set of extremely complicated electronic component structure diagrams, but they were not complete.

"This is a neural chip developed using microfluidic technology. It only needs a microchannel to be implanted into the human brain. After the silicon circuit and brain cells are docked, the two gradually merge. Since the chip uses inorganic non-metallic materials, Neither X-ray nor CT can scan it."

Wei Lin murmured: "So I did two physical examinations in the hospital, but nothing was found..."

"When did you go to the hospital for a physical examination? Why didn't you tell me what happened to your body?" Bai Yuan asked.

Wei Lin shook his head and did not speak.

Wu Jinghan clicked on another one: "This is the experimental plan. Although Minxing only downloaded part of it, the other party's goal has been clearly reflected - they want to deconstruct the unexplored part of the human brain, and through the implantation of chips , tap hidden abilities, and control those who have been activated.

"But at the same time, they also know the difficulty and danger of the experiment—the success rate of chip implantation is extremely low. According to the data of several human experiments, the success rate has increased from infinitely close to 0 at the beginning to 5 in the end. -8%, and many experimenters paid the price with their lives.”

Wei Lin said dumbly: "5-8% - the success rate of the 'Brain Domain Development Clinical Experiment' announced by the Institute of Brain Research."

"Yes." Wu Jinghan said sadly, "The scary thing about this experiment is that it is not an outright scam, but a well-designed trap. Indeed, the people who participated in the experiment, because the chip continuously sends out pulses, stimulate the brain nerve cells Activated, the potential of the brain is developed, and it has extraordinary spiritual abilities, but at the same time, it is also controlled by this organization due to the implanted chip."

Wei Lin thought: And the delusion-breaking masters thought they were working for it, constantly entering the brains of the experiment losers, performing mental treatment, and sending back various data as a reference for improving this technology.Including "falling" can also provide rare research data, so even though they felt sorry for it, they didn't stop.

"If we are obedient, the chip will stay dormant. Once we try to get out of control, the chip will be connected with the optical brain 'Tianji' in the treatment center, or even the super optical brain 'Ningyun' in the research institute, and report to the implanted person's brain. Send pulse signals to confuse our self-thinking." Wei Lin said, looking at Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan understood his eyes at this moment: Everything that happened in Li Minxing's "Absolute Domain" seemed to be an omen in the dark, and it had pointed out a dead end to the abyss for them—they were always on the edge of the cliff Walking, no matter the old road or the road ahead, is surrounded by falsehood, deceit, ambitions unwilling to fail, and methods that destroy humanity.

Li Minxing, in his chaotic and genius brain, unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality, foresaw this scene like a prophet.He is like a simple fanatical saint, standing on the altar of brain-controlled technology, shouting at those cruel careerists: Hey, you are on the wrong road!The narrow gate of heaven is here, look where my fingers are pointing!

They stopped him from such a dangerous act that he couldn't protect himself, but the lingering sound of that shout still floated out, and finally brought him a fatal disaster.

In a sense, Li Minxing's delusion has indeed come true.

The first half miraculously overlapped with reality, and the second half...was taken out of the "absolute domain" by him, materialized into a complete brain wave decoding program, and finally fell into the hands of the organization.

It is precisely because of this program and the research direction it indicates that the "organization" sees a new hope.

The cost of neural chip implantation is extremely high, the requirements are demanding, and the success rate is too low. It took them 20 years to break through the bottleneck of "mass production". Only a few dozens of successful people were obtained, which is not a good deal. .

As for the remote brain control technology, what they need to challenge is only the electronic equipment, not the human brain-obviously, the latter is more unfathomable and difficult to control than the former.

Because the human brain is not just a collection of neurons, synapses, and other organs and materials, but also consciousness, emotion, and spirit, which exist beyond the material level.

It is the soul.No one's soul can be firmly controlled by others.

This kind of control may work for a while, but once the original owner wakes up and resists, it will be on the verge of losing control.

Just like Wei Lin and Bai Yuan, relying on each other, they can always find the one that really belongs to their own wishes from countless thoughts.

Bai Yuan reached out and touched the back of Wei Lin's head that he had stroked countless times, imagining the chip inside the skull, like quicksand, like a nest of insects, scattered and still clustered in the brain tissue, sinister and disgusting.

In his own brain, there is also such a chip, invisible and intangible, but it does exist.

"You have to take it out." Bai Yuan and Wei Lin said at the same time.

"It is theoretically possible." Wu Jinghan said, "But CT can't scan it out, and the chip is fluid, so it will be very difficult to operate in practice."

"I think when they implanted it, they didn't think about taking it out at all." Bai Yuan sneered, "Just like now, Wei Lin and I had a 'mistake'. They couldn't catch us back, so they planned to destroy us directly."

"But after all, you are successful experimenters, and your value—" Wu Jinghan hesitated for a while, but continued, "I don't want to objectify you, but for the 'organization', your value is too high, just destroy it like this, some It doesn't make sense."

The winner of the experiment... Wei Lin smiled wryly in his heart, is he really the winner?

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his nose, but quickly retracted it - at least there is nothing wrong with Bai Yuan right now, right?Why did he say it out, causing everyone to worry in vain.

He suppressed his ups and downs, and asked instead: "Do you think this neural chip will have a tracking and positioning function?"

Wu Jinghan thought for a while, and replied: "I think it is basically impossible. Its pulse is used to stimulate nerve cells, and it cannot emit high-power electric waves. If it has a wider range of action, I will prefer GPS satellite tracking locators. "

Wei Lin spread out his hands: "In our body, where is it?"

Wu Jinghan showed a weary smile: "This can be detected with an instrument. I can't do anything with the chips in your heads, but it's more than enough to find a tracker.

Wei Lin: "Then help us remove the tracker first, otherwise we won't be able to go anywhere, and we will be chased and bitten by dogs as soon as we show our heads."

"No problem." Wu Jinghan said, "Wait for me, I'll go back to the company to get the equipment and find a surgeon by the way."

Wei Lin put forward the conditions unceremoniously: "We haven't had lunch yet, come back and bring something to eat, I want pizza, Bai Yuan, how about you?"

"casual."

"One piece of pizza, one 'anything'. Also, don't look for a doctor who practices medicine without a license in a black clinic. You must bring enough lighting and anesthesia!"

Wu Jinghan waved his hand to indicate that he had received everything, and the sound of footsteps faded away in the darkness.

Wei Lin let out a sigh of relief, sat back on the blanket, and patted his side: "Yuanyuan, would you like to sleep for a while, I'll use it as a pillow for you. It must have been all night last night, I see bloodshot eyes in your eyes."

Bai Yuan was indeed sleepy and tired, with pain from the wound on his body, but he was more attracted by the "pillow", so he lay down on the blanket and pulled Wei Lin into his arms.

"I always feel that you have something to hide from me." Mr. Bai whispered in Mr. Wei's ear.

Mr. Wei responded with the same small voice: "Ah, how do you know."

"Quickly confess." Mr. Bai ordered.

"Actually..." Mr. Wei said shyly, "I have it, yours."

Mr. Bai was caught off guard and almost had a heart attack.

Mr. Wei chuckled: "I think too much about you, go to sleep! Only when you have enough sleep can you have the strength to fight."

A few minutes later, Bai Yuan fell into a deep sleep, with his fingers stuck in his lover's hair.

Wei Lin stared at the station where he couldn't see his fingers, feeling that he was being submerged by the sinister and dark tide.He tried to shake the ominous delusion behind him, and thought about something pleasant:

After this nonsense is resolved, he will travel around the world with Bai Yuan, go hiking in tropical rainforests, go deep diving in oceanic islands, climb volcanoes, and see the aurora.

Well, if the latter cannot be achieved, then only the former one is fine.

——with Bai Yuan.
