"I have already made a decision on this matter." Although Shiraki's voice was not loud, it could make people feel a sense of firmness, "Dazai, let me go."

So far, Osamu Dazai has not had the opportunity to know Sigma's ability, but after the physical contact, the intensity of Shiraki's reaction was beyond his expectations.

Osamu Dazai looked at Shiraki with eyes full of comfort and calmness. Affected by such emotions to some extent, his breathing eased a little.

Counting six seconds, Dazai let go of Shiraki briefly, and after a pause of about two seconds, he held his hand again.

Shiraki's fingers are even and delicate, like a piece of warm porcelain that is warm from the tentacles. When he really holds it in his hand, Dazai suddenly realizes that his hand is very small, and he only needs to spread his palm to cover it all.

After holding it, Dazai tapped his knuckles lightly, as if to ease his emotions, "When you feel that there is only one way to go, your vision is limited, and you always have more choices. Xiao Shiraki... don't be afraid."

In fact, Bai Mu failed to understand that he was afraid at first.But after Dazai stopped him from doing it, he felt inexplicably relieved.

...Maybe Osamu Dazai really knows him better than himself.

If killing that person before was considered an effective self-defense, then now he is just killing people hastily because he is afraid that his secret will be leaked... There is only one and countless times of depravity, if Bai Mu thinks about this in the future, will he really not regret it? ?

Seeing that Shiraki finally calmed down, Dazai slowly let go of his hand.

Sigma was right under Shiraki's nose, and even if Dazai was so powerful that he could blindly guess his ability with one hit, it would be impossible to pry this secret out of him.Because Shiraki made Sigma speechless before he became disqualified from the human world.

When people are relaxed, their minds will become clearer and their thinking will be broadened again.

"...You are right, there is more than one way to solve the problem." Bai Mu rubbed his forehead, "Although the detour route is risky, if it were me, I could make this risk infinitely close to zero. Moreover, I don't need to kill myself..."

He swallowed back the second half of the sentence, and said to Dazai: "Borrow your mobile phone, I don't have it with me."

This request to borrow a mobile phone is a bit strange in this scene, but Dazai took it out of the windbreaker pocket after only being slightly stunned for a moment, unlocked it and handed it to Shiraki.

Shiraki took the phone, and Dazai waited for a while, seeing that he seemed to be browsing something quickly, so he became curious, "Little Shiraki, what are you doing? Can I watch it together?"

Seeing that Shiraki's eyes were glued to the screen of the phone, he heard that he had no intention of objecting, so Dazai leaned over without looking outside, and looked down at the phone with his head next to his.

The lights in the basement flickered, the battle between Chuya and Gogol showed signs of victory and defeat, and it was about to end. There was also a terrified Sigma, unable to move on the ground.

On the other side, in the bright white light of the mobile phone screen, two severe Internet addicts who seemed to be playing with their mobile phones in the middle of the night were solemnly... browsing academic papers.

Shiraki logged into the school's account and obtained the reading authority for all journal papers. After Osamu Dazai came over, he saw that Shiraki had read six biomedical papers with amazing reading speed and search ability.

This is one of his papers that he did not skip. The Farewell magazine is a sub-journal of the authoritative academic journal "Science". The name that was swept across it was gently read out by Osamu Dazai, "crispr...a specific gene editor ?”

Because he considered that Oda Saku would be in a coma for a long time, the nerves in the brain might be damaged, so Shiraki has never worked less in the field of brain nerves in recent years.

The teaching progress of the medical department is too shallow, and Bai Mu has already mastered an amazing reserve of knowledge through years of self-study.

Because of Bai Mu's accumulated medical knowledge, his abilities can act on the human body, which can save people or kill people... and can also do some operations that are independent of the two.

Knowledge is power. Even if Dazai is extremely intelligent, he does not have Shiraki's many years of research on brain nerves. This paper is too professional, and Dazai doesn't understand much.

Genome editing technology (crispr/cas9), which has been mastered by humans, can be used to modify genes in known types of cells and neurons.Through this gene editing method, the cbp (creb binding protein) of a specific neuron subpopulation in the medial prefrontal cortex is knocked out. The creb protein plays a non-negligible role in the memory circuit. After knocking out creb, it can block the formation of long-term memory.

There are two types of memory in the human mind, one is short-term memory, and the opposite is long-term memory. If through human intervention, after knocking out the cbp of a specific cell, there is no way for short-term memory to be converted into long-term memory.That is to say, according to this method, specific memories about one thing can be targeted to be eliminated.

Shiraki thought about the parts of the brain involved in the thesis, and answered Dazai's doubts absent-mindedly: "Although the experiment has only been done on mice in the laboratory...but I can operate on this purple hair and go directly to clinical human trials. Hey , you will definitely not die, but the effect after the operation depends on your own creation."

Dazai reassured: "Bai Mu is really smart, although killing people is wrong, but facing the enemy... we didn't say that we can't be disabled."

Sigma: "..."

These two tacit expressions, why is there an air of gentle scum rushing towards their faces?

He didn't understand a word Bai Mu said, but it didn't prevent him from being scared and crying.Especially once Shiraki, who has received a high-end education, becomes a scum, his lethality doubles geometrically.

"He's my enemy." Shiraki looked at Dazai with dark eyes, "Maybe he still has the information you've always wanted to know, so you won't "intervene" secretly?"

Realizing that his reputation in Shiraki's heart had been seriously overdrawn before, Dazai smiled lightly, revealing connivance, "No. I'm willing to believe your confession just now, and I'm willing to try... Although I'm not sure I can It can't be done. Because, I never regard you as an enemy."

"And you just changed your approach, which makes me feel that although you are walking a bit crookedly, you are generally a good boy." Dazai stretched out his hand and pinched Shiraki's face, "You have lost a lot of weight since I first met you, If that person knows, he will definitely feel distressed. You were taught by him... I am always willing to be like you. Until there is a new change, I will always stand by your side. "

Bai Mu came back to his senses and slapped off his paw.But it is undeniable that after hearing Dazai's statement, Shiraki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Dazai Osamu's acting skills are superb, Shiraki somehow knows...he won't make fun of Oda Saku.

What he said was the truth.

It is undoubtedly good news for Shiraki to be able to reduce the pressure from Dazai.He relaxed a lot, and the operation became smoother. He quickly read the paper and learned the operation of the mouse's head in the paper.

The experiment in the thesis mentioned that after the mice received CRISPR-SACAS9, they did lose the memory of a specific place, and thus proved that this experimental technique can be used to modify the genes of a specific subgroup to delete a memory in a targeted manner.

Shiraki thought he could try precision surgery.

He has the ability to locate accurately, like a sophisticated human body scanner, monitoring the movement trajectory of every cell in Sigma's brain and the transmission direction of neurons.The human brain is sophisticated, and it takes some effort for Baimu to monitor it in real time, but he is in good physical condition now and can easily afford such consumption and expenditure.

Shiraki showed a row of small white teeth to Sigma, that expression was full of probing curiosity, but it didn't look like a good person's smile, "Come, come, think about what you just learned? Think about it."

In order to confirm that the part of the rapidly increasing activity in Sigma's brain was indeed the correct memory area and the specific subgroup Bai Mu was looking for, Shiraki touched Sigma several times repeatedly, reviewing his memories just now through constant physical contact.

Sigma: "..."

After he realized that Shiraki didn't seem to be trying to kill him, his tense expression relaxed a bit, and Sigma looked up at the fallen large piece of the ceiling with difficulty, thinking about the scene just now.

If Bai Mu didn't protect him, then he would be severely injured even if he was not killed.

...It would be great if I could forget this secret, and I wouldn't have to be killed.After all, Sigma is not a person who repays kindness and revenge. When Baimu contacted him for the last time, he took the initiative to pass some of the information he knew to Baimu through his own abilities.

Bai Mu stopped and said in surprise: "You——!"

Because the information received was too shocking, Shiraki didn't continue talking.Next to him was Osamu Dazai, who had settled down for the time being. Shiraki, who understood the truth that hesitation would lead to defeat, stopped talking nonsense. Now that he had confirmed the area of ​​"precision surgery", he did it directly.

Synthesized specific genes with supernatural powers, repeatedly stimulating Sigma's memory area, and Sigma fell into a drowsy sleep.Still worried, Bai Mu gave him brainwashing several times like an enlightenment, and determined the active areas of the brain that had just "lighted up" in his vision, breaking down one by one.

The whole process didn't take too long, Bai Mu manipulated his body to directly secrete appropriate hormones into the blood, awakening him from his deep sleep.

After Sigma opened his eyes, he looked at Shiraki and Osamu Dazai in front of him, feeling confused from the bottom of his heart, "... who are you?"

"I'm your companion, Sigma." Shiraki blurted out, pretending to help him up from the ground, and then pointed to Gogol who had been knocked down by Chuya, "Did you see that It was you villain who attacked. You were knocked out by him just now, how are you feeling now?"

Logically speaking, the area for cleaning memory does not need to be too large, but for the sake of insurance, the frequency and intensity of cleaning are too strong, and it is not normal to have an accident.

Looking at the ignorant Sigma, Osamu Dazai showed a considerate expression, "That person is really heartless, Sigma, why are you uncomfortable? Let Shiraki show you. The little Shiraki next to me really It's a... very good doctor."
