glory [rebirth]

In fact, Mu Qingtong was inclined to let Herman come to him in person.

He had never met Herman in person, but he had learned about it from the file that Lawson had given him.If he breaks into Herman's interior and enters the legendary laboratory, the two will definitely confront each other...

But Jason is already very difficult to deal with now, if he really talks to Herman...

To be honest, Mu Qingtong was still a little nervous.

Since the afternoon when Jason came to see him, Jiang Yao hadn't contacted him again, nor had any new emails been saved in his draft box.

He and Jiang Yao only left a few irrelevant records in the communicator and bracelet, and he completely smashed the other records, which cannot be recovered with software.

Mu Qingtong took the communicator and called up the photo album. There was a separate photo album in it, and there were only a few photos in it. Among them was a very clear video screenshot of Jiang Yao wearing a military uniform in the palace on the National Day. A half-length shot of a speech on a balcony.

Mu Qingtong took out the bright headshot from his wallet and pasted it on Jiang Yao's shoulder, and merged the two photos into one. In the picture, Jiang Yao turned his head slightly, looking to his left, as if staring at Liangliang.

What Jiang Yao said in the recorded video seemed to be still echoing in his ears. He could almost imagine Jiang Yao's expression when he saw Liangliang eating the camera, and Mu Qingtong laughed after thinking about it for a while.

Jiang Yao must have been angry with this kid in the palace.

After he finishes this matter, they will be able to meet...

There are many bright photos and videos stored in Mu Qingtong's communicator, which are all the motivation and support for him to persevere.

Five days later.

Mu Qingtong tidied up briefly. He looked haggard in the mirror, and his figure basically returned to his previous appearance, but his face was still rounder than before, and he seemed not as thin as before.

It has been a long time since he visited Mu's mother in the third hospital, where Schwartz has been taking care of her.Mu's mother is still like that, and the doctor said that the chance of waking up is very slim.

Before, Mu Qingtong thought about taking Mu's mother out of the hospital, but after thinking about it, he really didn't have time to take care of her.He still lived in Schwartz's apartment in Yar, and taking care of his mother in someone else's house would definitely not work.And after he moved out, he was very tired with Liangliang alone, and he would definitely not be able to take on the job of taking care of Mu's mother.

And Jiang Yao is even less likely to take care of Mu's mother for him.

So she can only be kept in the hospital, spending high nursing fees, and using expensive drugs to maintain her life, hoping that a miracle will happen one day.

Mu Qingtong stared at her dark circles in the mirror for a while, then applied a cold towel to eliminate swelling.

Then he put on his windbreaker, locked the door and went out to hail a taxi.

"Please go to the Third Hospital." Mu Qingtong opened the car door and said.

The driver didn't move.

Mu Qingtong looked up vigilantly, but in the rearview mirror, he saw that the driver was a man wearing sunglasses, and only his nose and mouth could be seen.

Mu Qingtong: "..."

Before Mu Qingtong could react, the car door was pulled open by another person.

"Hi, Mr. Mu, we meet again."

It's Jason Lee.

"Colonel Jason, I'm curious, how much does the Marshal earn in a year?" Mu Qingtong asked.

Jason was taken aback, not understanding why Mu Qingtong said this suddenly.

Mu Qingtong looked at the taximeter in the car and said, "Isn't the taxi industry in Yar City under the control of Marshal Hermann?"

"..." Jason closed the car door before remembering that they used the same one when they took Schwartz away last time. He suddenly laughed and said, "Mr. Mu, you are so humorous. The military has a rule that officers above the school level cannot buy shares in any company."

Mu Qingtong replied vaguely.

"It seems that you have already thought about it?" Mu Qingtong asked, "About my request."

"Well, I asked the Marshal for instructions, and he said that he can agree to all your requests." Jason replied.

"Let me go to the Third Hospital first. I'm going to see my mother today. After seeing my mother, we'll find a place to talk slowly." Mu Qingtong said.

Yar City, apartment.

Schwartz listened carefully to what was going on inside with headphones on, but took them off after a while.

The top of the computer screen is pitch black, and the bottom is almost static sound waves.

"How's it going?" Damian asked.

Schwartz shook his head with a solemn expression.

Damian patted him on the shoulder.

"The anti-radar device has detected the jammer they use, I dare not let the little ladybug get too close." Schwartz said, "There is no video signal, and I don't dare to get too close , Qingtong and they should be talking in the car, and they can't hear anything."

"Let the little ladybug fly higher and shoot from the sky." Damian said, "If the car drives away later, can it keep following?"

"Let me try..." Schwartz then entered the command, and clicked the mouse to re-plan the route of the micro air vehicle.

The radius of action of the jammer is 50 meters, and when the screen is displayed, the taxi has become very blurred on the screen due to the distance, making it almost impossible to see clearly.

"Rabbit." Damian called him suddenly.

"Huh?" Schwartz replied, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing..." Damian said, "I just want to know, will His Highness pay you for doing this?"

"He didn't give it," Schwartz said.

"No?" Damian asked in surprise.

"That's right, because, because I have positions in the intelligence department and the military academy, my salary is higher than others. The boss usually teaches me how to invest, and never pays me a salary..." Schwartz He didn't seem to care, "It's good, the money is in my hands, yes, it will definitely depreciate, the boss taught me how to preserve the value, it's good."

Damian touched Schwartz's head, suddenly feeling a great pressure.

"The car drove away, follow up." Damian reminded Schwartz.

While Damian was speaking, Schwartz had already moved the mouse, locked the moving taxi, and let the little ladybug keep up with it.

The southern district is not as prosperous as the northern district. There are no cars on the road, and the little ladybug followed it all the way up the avenue.

Since the road is very wide, the green belts on both sides did not block its view at all. It followed the taxi to the Third Hospital, and then Mu Qingtong and Jason got out of the car.

Damian glanced at Schwartz.

Schwartz looked at him for a while, and they both guessed what Mu Qingtong was going to do.

"The jammer should be in the car, and now the little ladybug can get close." Schwartz said happily.

Damian pinched his earlobe appreciatively.

"Check the license plate of this taxi, Damie." Schwartz cut a picture from the video just now, dragged it into the image processing software, and enlarged the dpi value of the picture to save it.

Then put your finger on the screen and push it lightly, and that picture will appear on the screen of another computer.

"Ok."

There was a license plate query system on that computer. After Damian entered the numbers and letters above, a dialog box popped up.

Without raising his head, Schwartz said, "Is it a fake license plate?"

"Ah."

The hall of the hospital was full of voices, and the information transmitted was only available via video, the audio was all messed up, and it was impossible to hear what Mu Qingtong and Jason said at all.

"Don't worry." Damian said, "Just know that Qingtong and this person are in the hospital now."

"Hmm..." Schwartz nervously controlled the little ladybug remotely, while avoiding the hospital's cameras, and on the other hand, he had to guard against Jason noticing it.

This kind of work is a test of people's patience and operational stability. Even though the indoor temperature is not high, a thin layer of sweat soon appeared on Schwartz's forehead.

Damian saw the wet wipes on the coffee table and was about to take them apart, but he was afraid of disturbing Schwartz's work, so he had to give up.

Then he walked to the sofa next to Schwartz, sat down quietly, took out the communicator to play small games, and waited for Schwartz to send him at any time.

North District.

The taxi drove away after Mu Qingtong and Jason got off, and the coating on the window made it difficult to see what was going on inside the car.

In the picture taken from the side of the windshield, the driver's face was covered with big sunglasses, so his appearance was not captured in the end.

The little ladybug could not follow them into the elevator, and Schwartz manipulated it to stick to the ceiling and turn to the floor where Mu's mother was located.

Mu Qingtong didn't stay in the hospital for too long. He entered the ward and talked to Mu's mother for a while. After massaging her muscles for a while on behalf of the nurse, he asked the doctor about the recent situation and left.

Jason, on the other hand, sat on the chair in the corridor as if he was in meditation, and he didn't even take out the communicator once.His eyes were closed, and his lower lip was trembling, as if he was chanting words.

It's just that they can't hear anything.

Then Mu Qingtong and Jason stopped another normal taxi.

The little ladybug followed them to a residential area.

In the video, Jason got out of the car first, and said something to Mu Qingtong in the car, and then Mu Qingtong got out of the car and got into another off-road vehicle parked by the roadside with him.

"Check the license plate." Schwartz synchronized the video information to Damian.

"Okay." Damian moved his computer to his lap and began to look for the license plate for the second time.

This time the license plate is still fake.

Damian: "..."

Damian complained: "They opened a license plate forgery syndicate, right?"

Schwartz smiled helplessly.

The off-road vehicle is a very ordinary model, and there is no clue from the appearance.

After Mu Qingtong got into the car, he looked at the decoration inside the car and asked, "Do you live in this neighborhood?"

"Of course not." Jason replied.

"You chose such a place specially for this conversation, can't you just find a cafe on the side of the road?" Mu Qingtong said.

"Safety comes first." Jason said vaguely.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Qingtong went straight to the point and said, "Actually, I regret it a little now."

Jason asked in surprise, "How?"

"Actually, what you said last time was right."

"what?"

"Jiang Yao threatened me in the hospital that he would induce labor. He was very worried that other people would know about it. We had a long argument at the time, and he did not agree to keep the child. Later, when I quarreled with him once, I said impulsively Wrong words, since then I probably broke up with him." Mu Qingtong said, "I know in my heart that I cannot do without him, whether it is emotionally or materially. You can also see my mother's situation. Here, since she was hospitalized, Jiang Yao has been paying for it. With my current financial ability, I definitely can't afford it. Even with social relief, it is impossible to maintain the most basic life. Besides, I can't ask the media or charities to help me , Being exposed in the public eye like this, I can't hide the fact that I was expelled from school, and that Jiang Yao used to be my roommate."

Jason: "..."

"So I have no choice but to compromise with him." Mu Qingtong looked at his fingers and said slowly, "Actually, I was no longer suitable for induced labor at that time. If the child is gone, I may die too. I promise Jiang Yao said to find a place to live, and when the time is right, he will leave here with the children, and he will continue to pay for my mother until my mother dies."

"But he didn't."

"Well, after all, Liangliang is also his son, and he looks too much like him. I'm afraid it will be more troublesome when he gets older." Mu Qingtong said, "That's why he took Liangliang away."

Jason didn't answer.

"Now I have no financial income, no Liangliang, and even my mother's life is in Jiang Yao's hands." Mu Qingtong suddenly smiled, and continued, "You are right, Jiang Yao did it all at once. So absolutely, in fact, when I refused to kill the child, I had already planted the foreshadowing. He has been waiting for this opportunity..."

"Since the matter has reached this point, I think it is probably irreversible." Mu Qingtong said helplessly, "I really want the three of us to live together, but the possibility of this is too small."

Jason pondered for a while, as if trying to help Mu Qingtong think of a way.

"If I ask you to help me bring my son back, then I can only live with him in the future. If I don't bring it back and the child is brought up by refueling, I may not see him again. In this way, It doesn't make any sense for me to cooperate with you."

Mu Qingtong has been giving Jason problems all the time. In fact, he himself is very much looking forward to how Jason will solve these problems.

Jason was silent for a long time.

Mu Qingtong looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, without saying a word.

apartment.

"Little ladybug is running out of power," Schwartz said.

Even though the monitor was not discovered by Jason, his vigilance was still high. The windows of the car were tightly closed, and he could neither monitor their conversation nor take any useful pictures.

For fear of being discovered, Schwartz did not send those larger aircraft.The little ladybug is so small that it runs mostly on solar energy.

Now that the sun was setting and the surrounding light was too dark, the little ladybug's battery quickly sounded the alarm.

"Forget it, you have worked all day today." Damian persuaded, "I guess Jason will not take Qingtong away later, you can act later... Take a step back, if Qingtong really finds a place, he will Will send us a message."

"I'll report to the boss first." Before Schwartz finished speaking, snowflakes appeared on the screen, and then went completely black.

The little ladybug has run out of battery.

Schwartz: "..."

Schwartz closed his astringent eyes, rubbed between his brows, and sighed, looking very tired.

Damian clapped his hand on his shoulder.

inside the car.

"Mr. Mu, do you know what is the root of all the conflicts in the world?" Jason asked suddenly.

"..." Mu Qingtong looked back at him, Jason's thinking was jumping like him, and he couldn't keep up with his rhythm, so he answered honestly, "Inequality?"

"No." Jason shook his head.

"Is this a philosophical question?" Mu Qingtong asked with a smile.

"No." Jason denied again, pointing to his brain, and said slowly, "It's because of memory."

Mu Qingtong: "..."

Mu Qingtong didn't expect Jason to say such explosive words to him directly. He originally thought that he would confess to him about the memory transplant after entering the laboratory, but he didn't expect Jason to not shy away from it at all.

Such an unreasonable way of playing cards really made him a little overwhelmed.

"Because of memory, people will remember what happened before, resentment, anger, and sadness...Once the memory is erased, these emotions will also disappear." Jason said, "Mu Sir, suppose someone accidentally burned your hand when you were one year old, leaving a scar. When you grow up, you don’t know how to do it. Would you still blame that person? ?”

"You mean..." Mu Qingtong looked at Jason warily.

Jason still had that calm expression.

"You want to erase Jiang Yao's memories of the past few months?" Mu Qingtong said.

"No, no, Mr. Mu, listen to me." Jason said without any haste, "Memory is actually a neural structure in our brain. It exists just like our brain governs our limbs. It has Special instructions and states. When we want to make an action, the brain will transmit consciousness through neurons to make our limbs move. The formation of our memory is also the same process, stored in the neural structure of the hippocampus With all kinds of sounds, pictures, text...it can be called out by you at any time."

Mu Qingtong: "..."

"Mr. Mu, you must know about hypnosis."

"Ah."

When he first came to this world, he once thought that he was deeply hypnotized.

"This actually stimulates the neural structure externally through psychological suggestion, excites it, and then creates a brand new memory, but the memory created in this way is unstable." Jason said, "The erasure and shaping of memory can be done completely. It is achieved through external surgery... I don't know if you can understand it."

Mu Qingtong remained silent. He had heard about such technology from Jiang Yao, but he was still very shocked when he heard it again.

"This is similar to our principle of making robots. It seems that thinking is an intangible thing, but in fact it also has its own way of existence. It must be a kind of substance moving. All we have to do is to control it." Jason said.

Mu Qingtong looked down at his bony fingers, "Obviously you have mastered this technique."

"Yes, it's just immature." Jason admitted generously, "That's why we promised you."

"But you also said that this technology is not yet mature. How can you guarantee that it will not have any impact on Jiang Yao? He is the future emperor of the empire. If something goes wrong..."

"No, it won't be a problem if you just rewrite one of the memories." Jason assured, "That's what I planned just now."

"You said."

"Your Highness, he went to the central region to fight in February, so we can start processing from that memory. The immature technology I mentioned before refers to the memory shaping that lasts for more than ten years. If it is within three years Yes, it's easy to do," Jason said.

"But how do you carry out the operation? Jiang Yao is in the palace. It may not be so easy to carry out the operation smoothly."

"This needs your help." Jason said, "First of all, we have to design a story without logical loopholes, such as why this child must be kept during the past few months, and what kind of relationship has been going on between you?" Conversation...you're better at this kind of thing than I am."

Mu Qingtong was startled, he didn't know if there was a deeper meaning behind Jason's words.If there is, it means that the other party has seen through his purpose and is warning himself not to act rashly.

If not, then this sentence seems a bit abrupt.

Mu Qingtong suppressed the tension in his heart, and said calmly: "In addition to reshaping a timeline, what is more important is how to perform the operation?"

But at this time Jason smiled, and didn't tell Mu Qingtong what to do next, but said vaguely: "This is what we have to do, and we probably need your help."

The two remained silent for another moment. It was completely dark outside, and the car parked beside the streetlight cast a large shadow.The icy wind blew "swish" on the treetops, and there was silence all around.

Mu Qingtong repeatedly recalled every word Jason told him, trying to find the loopholes in it and analyze his motives this time.

He didn't dare to observe Jason from the corner of his eye, and he didn't even dare to show any expression. He knew that Jason was looking at himself in the rearview mirror.

Jason...

Mu Qingtong's palms were sweating all the time. He lowered his head and rubbed his hands together to prevent the other party from seeing his face.

Maybe it was because he didn't wait for an answer for too long, so Jason said first, "Have you considered it, Mr. Mu?"

When Mu Qingtong heard him speak, she raised her head suddenly, frowned and asked again: "Does this really have no effect on Jiang Yao's body?"

Jason affirmed: "Of course, it's actually the same as hypnosis. If you're really worried...you can change it to hypnosis. Is that okay? It's absolutely safe, and you can watch the whole process from the sidelines."

"..." Mu Qingtong fiddled with her neatly cut nails, stared at her palm prints for a while, and finally said, "I have one more request."

Jason nodded and said.

"If I feel that there is a hidden danger in the middle, I will quit." Mu Qingtong said.

Jason didn't answer him right away, it took a long time before he nodded and said, "Yes."
