Forces of Temptation

here is……

Food-grade brain farms?

The scene in front of him was so shocking that Nan Zhou couldn't resist his curiosity. He took a few steps, holding the thin glass, and looked curiously at everything outside.

Li Yinhang also followed up nervously, imitating his appearance and holding onto the glass, full of doubts: "Without eyes, only with a visual system, how can we see the outside from here?"

Jiang Fang stood beside Nan Zhou, and took her words: "Don't you think the design here is different from other brain partitions?"

After carefully savoring the strong separation between the warm fairy tale and the cold technology, as well as the display screen used to report the work results, Li Yinhang suddenly realized: "So, here is-"

Jiang Fang lightly tapped the glass in front of him with his knuckles: "It should be an external device connected to the vision system."

"We were put into the brain, entered five specific functional areas, played five games, and finally came to this room to deliver the task."

Li Yinhang asked another crucial question: "Then what is 'we'...?"

The three looked out side by side.

The view here is very wide, so it is not difficult to see that there is more than one production line where they are.

The feeding box filled with light blue nutrient solution that was horizontal to Nanzhou and the others was mostly empty.

However, another row of feeding boxes parallel to them was filled with another dark red nutrient solution similar to the color of the brain.

At first glance, those boxes were also empty.

In fact, every terrarium containing the red liquid was full to the brim.

Each box contains a brain.

Moreover, compared to this side, the red nutrient solution is in a state of high-speed consumption.

An external pipe continuously injects fresh nutrient solution into the cube.

Even so, the nutrient solution in some feeding boxes cannot keep up with the rate at which the brain can devour the nutrient solution.

Nan Zhou could see the state of a brain in a vat that was the shortest straight-line distance from them.

It was comfortably soaked in the dark red mucus, and the wrinkled surface opened and opened like a small mouth, like a stomach pouch that was eating.

This reminded Nan Zhou of the pig-like chewing sound with severe saliva that they could hear in the brain corridor before.

What is it that is not afraid that this way of eating will burst the stomach?

The answer is, a brain without a stomach.

It sucks the nutrient solution endlessly, instilling the signal of "fullness" to the brain.

As if to verify Nanzhou's guess, a machine poked out a metal-colored rocker arm to one of the dark red feeding boxes.

The white locator inlaid on the top of the rocker arm scans the cube in all directions, and a thin needle engraved with a barcode-like pattern on the surface is inserted into the groove on the top side of the cube.

After scanning the code for verification, the lid of the cube was opened from the top.

The mechanical rocker penetrates into the nutrient solution, firmly supports the soft base of the brain, and fishes it out without any damage.

The brain, which was used to being in the state of "eating" all the time, left the dark red nutrient solution and shrank eagerly.

But it was still placed in the No. 1920 feeding box next to Nanzhou and the others.

The wisps of red nutrient solution melted after being immersed in the blue liquid.

It can be seen that the nutrient solution of the blue liquid has a certain purification and disinfection effect, but it cannot satisfy its desire to eat.

After contracting in vain for a while, it found that it could not take in any nutrients, so it calmed down.

Not long after, the words appeared on the outside of feeding box No. 1920.

"Name: Feed Box No. 1921"

"Specification: 90cmX90cmX90cm standard feeding box"

"Level: Normal"

"Food Maturity: 30%"

This level of maturity is clearly unsatisfactory.

So, it was dug out again by the rocker arm, and sent back to the feeding box filled with dark red nutrient solution on the opposite side.

After witnessing this scene, teacher Nanzhou's small class also started.

He asked Li Yinhang: "Have you figured it out?"

Li Yinhang: "...um."

If you compare this place to a pig farm, everything will be clear at a glance.

The ones soaking in the feeding box on the opposite side are piglets or immature pigs.

They are not up to standard and need to be constantly supplemented with new nutrients.

The feeding box that Nanzhou and the others are currently in has a quality inspection function, which can determine whether the brains put in it are high-end products that have been bred to the point where they can be sold.

This can also explain why the brain they were in had been in a state of endless chewing before, but it was quiet once in the middle.

It is probably like the brain just now, it was fished out once, put into a new feeding box, and had a look at its appearance to see if it reached the standard for sale.

But unlike ordinary pigs, the brain is a delicate food.

I also know that it is not an easy task for this artificially bred brain to mature.

Theoretically speaking, all parts and functional areas of the brain need to be developed in a balanced manner to be more delicious.

However, the artificially cultivated brain can only artificially infuse a large amount of knowledge into it and provide a sense of satiety.

More complex emotional information cannot be fabricated out of thin air.

This will inevitably lead to continuous shrinkage of the brain and affect "quality control".

Combining the current situation, Nan Zhou came to the conclusion lightly: "So, these brains need external stimulation."

He didn't seem to feel the creepy meaning behind what he said: "We are the 'external stimulus'."

Hearing Nan Zhou's words, and recalling the journey they had taken, Li Yinhang couldn't help constricting his pores and sweating coldly.

Could it be that their settings in the dungeon are... employees of this brain breeding base?

Moreover, it should be the lowest-level employee.

The behind-the-scenes designer, by dividing the brain into regions, designed a unique fairy tale playground.

These players, as employees, enter the game, explore, fight, and risk their lives along the way...

The purpose is only to stimulate the brain to produce various emotions such as loneliness, fear, and sexual desire that it cannot rely on external organs to produce.

...so as to make it more mature and more delicious?

When Li Yinhang was feeling cold all over, a simple operating table slowly emerged in the center of the small room.

There is only a blood-red induction plate on it, and a speaker.

A mechanical voice came from the speakers.

"Do you want to deliver the task?"

Nan Zhou looked at Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang, and Nan Zhou answered "Yes".

There was a happy voice from inside.

Just this pleasure, with a formulaic, false enthusiasm.

"Thank you for your outstanding contributions to the [Brain Invasion] factory on the 12th, 19th, and 27th 'scavenger'. It is because of your unremitting efforts that the business of the [Brain Invasion] factory is booming."

"Please put your right thumb on the sensing device, wait for 15 seconds, and then transmit."

"After taking the recovery potion, you have 72 hours to rest, and then please continue to work."

"Thank you again."

Their duty as "scavenger" at the [brain-hacking] factory looks like it will never end.

Obviously, the fate of "scavengers" like them is to be completely killed in a certain corner of the brain due to a miss in the process of entering the room, and finally, to be cooked together with the mature brain , served on the table.

However, Nan Zhou's dungeon mission has been completely over.

After each of them held their fingertips on the induction pad for 15 seconds, they heard the prompt sound of the end of the mission——

[Ding Ding Ding Dong——]

Li Yinhang: "..."

She felt that the achievement of "fastest awakening record" was awarded to herself.

And she has reason to believe that this is a merciless mockery of her.

This time the rewards are very large.

The broadcast is still going on.

The uninterrupted reminders of rewards are like stimulants that can bring people pleasure, stimulating them uninterruptedly.

It is indeed a dungeon with a difficulty level of 11.

The process of passing Krypton's life is indeed a narrow escape, and correspondingly, the rewards are staggeringly generous.

[Congratulations to the "Cubic Ark" team for entering the final room, successfully delivering the task, and getting the reward "Brain Scavenger", each with 3000 points! 】

[DiDi——S-level rewards are 1000 points each and any random item, and the item will be sent to each player’s backpack within three days~]

[Please choose to leave the instance within 3 minutes——]

Although the end of the dungeon is frightening to think about, when the game achievements keep swiping the screen, the short-term satisfaction still dilutes the fear in my heart.

Li Yinhang stretched his waist, trying to release all the pressure and anxiety in his heart with this stretch.

She said, "Where are we going?"

Jiang Fang glanced at Nanzhou, smiled and gave the answer for him: "'Paper gold'. Let's go to the buffet."

They choose "paper gold".

to send.

And the moment the three of them finished their mission and appeared on the streets of "Paper Gold" at night, it was like a stone thrown into still water.

There was a strange movement in the world channel in the game panel.

Several people were exchanging messages of pinching the head and tail.

"on line."

"What position?"

"Paper gold area B17!"

The three of them are still unaware of this.

Only Li Yinhang looked around after receiving the transmission, and muttered in a low voice, "Why is the street so quiet?"

Hearing her casual exclamation, Nan Zhou's eyes turned slightly, and he aimed at the storage slot on the control panel.

... very strange.

In the past, when returning to safe points such as "Paper Gold" and "Rust Capital", their item cards were basically "unusable".

But this time Nanzhou noticed that his props bar was not closed.

He lowered his head, pressed against Jiang Fang's arm, and walked slowly forward calmly.

Just as they moved forward, a player squatting directly above the roof slowly pulled the bolt of the gun in his hand and loaded it.

click.

This soft sound, blending into the "paper gold" street full of singing songs, should have been as small as a drop of water melting into the sea.

Nan Zhou suddenly stopped.

He has been in this situation many times.

For months, night and day, he struggled against this danger that lurked in the shadows.

... In the east building, three people were watching them through the window.

In the corridor of the building on the west side, there are two people pretending to look at the moon.

There are two on top of the head.

One of them has a weapon like a gun.

If they go further, there is a person hiding in the alley ahead.

If they retreated, there were new followers in the empty alleyway they passed by just now.

There were more footsteps coming from another parallel street.

Li Yinhang was also a little terrified.

She just walked out of the dungeon, as if she just got off the highway, and the speed couldn't be lowered for a while.

The vigilance she brought out from the dungeon allowed her to form short-term muscle memory.

She felt something was wrong.

Nothing is right.

Therefore, when the muzzle of the black hole protruded from the roof of one side of the building and aimed at Nanzhou, Li Yinhang, who was looking around cowardly, was the first to see it.

She yelled, "Be careful—"

She was lying in front of Nan Zhou, instinctively wanting to push Nan Zhou out of range.

But before she could take the next step, a dark red gunfire shot out from the barrel.

The target shifted from Nanzhou's chest to Li Yinhang's back.

Li Yinhang felt chills in his heart.

However, before her chills were over, she was thrown aside by Nan Zhou.

She couldn't stand steadily, and knocked her head against the graffiti-covered street wall.

At the same time, Nan Zhou tilted his head.

The bullet flew past with a chirping sound, and narrowly pierced Nan Zhou's black hair scattered in the night, and shot directly at the red brick behind him, splashing a piece of red dust and broken tiles!

The unprofessional sniper looked out from the cover and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction when he found that he missed the target.

But before he retracted his head, Nan Zhou turned around and grabbed the flying brick fragments in the air, aiming at them casually, and throwing them with his backhand!

Right in the heart!

The ambush gunman grabbed the broken brick abruptly with his head, blood flowed from his brow, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Nanzhou didn't stop at all, he rushed to the five-story building where the gunman was, and jumped up.

Grab the gun!

Only by grabbing the gun in your hand can you control the initiative!

I don't know who it is, and an angry shout broke out in the crowd: "Who is that, hurry up!"

As soon as the words fell, a man hidden in the shadow of the neon lights in the alley hurriedly activated his item card.

...a B-level weather card that is extremely precious to him.

Stepping on the fire escape outside the floor, Nanzhou, who was moving towards the top floor at high speed, slipped suddenly, and stepped off the edge of the tin stairs.

With a sudden grab, he barely grabbed the handle of the stairs, hanging in the middle of the third floor.

But the strength of his arm muscles was also rapidly losing at a terrifying rate.

He raised his head in astonishment, only to see that the crescent moon had disappeared.

Instead, it was a golden full moon.

Amidst the rapid panting and drum-beating heartbeat, Nan Zhou made a decisive decision and let go of the hand holding the railing.

And the next moment, a phantom-like flying knife appeared at the place where Nan Zhou was hanging just now.

——The destination was originally his heart.

Jiang Fang rushed over quickly, opened his arms, and caught him who fell from the third floor.

The phantom dagger lost its target for the first time, and then fell straight down like a bird, aiming at Nan Zhou's chest again.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Nan Zhou pushed Jiang Fang away.

The moment the two rolled away from each other, there was a clang of the dagger, and the sharp edge hit the ground again.

If it fails to hit again, this phantom dagger capable of double hits will lose its effect.

Its owner who was hiding in the dark was about to take back the dagger when Nan Zhou suddenly turned back, grabbed the handle of the dagger that was about to fly back, and used all his strength to firmly control the dagger into his palm.

He crouched on the ground, the backs of his hands and the corners of his mouth were scratched.

There was a strong smell of blood in the mouth.

In this bloody scene, his chest couldn't stop heaving, like a little beast that had been provoked.

The moment blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the dagger, the restless dagger fell silent.

The popularity in the dark was slapped on the thigh.

Damn, admit the Lord!

Why such an inch? !

Through the sound transmission on the solid concrete floor, Nanzhou heard more intensive footsteps coming towards here.

Li Yinhang clutched the corner of his forehead that had just been bruised, and struggled to get up from the ground.

Suddenly, she saw a figure approaching her.

Just as she was about to pull out the dagger, she heard a nervous and eager female voice:

"Girl, run! The person you are following is the boss who escaped from the dungeon!"

"Come to us quickly!"
