The final gentleman

"Mr. Reagan, have you ever been to the [cemetery] under the organization?"

When Yi Chen, who was standing in front of the door, asked this question, the atmosphere in the originally ordinary room suddenly changed.

Snapped!

The iron door of a rental apartment closes itself without any contact.

Yi Chen also noticed that this seemed to be caused by some kind of spirit-related power. "It's the same as the previous situation when the button fell. Is it an influence of the spirit on reality?" Is this the strength of Induction 7? 』

at this time,

Reagan, who was too lazy to get up at first, actually took the initiative to clear away the tableware. After the living room was tidied up, he sat back down.

He crossed his fingers on the table and looked at Yi Chen with a serious look that he had never seen before, "If you don't mind, let's talk some more?"

"OK."

As soon as Yi Chen sat back in his original seat, he could feel a sense of spiritual oppression.

Such a sense of oppression can never be experienced by human beings who are idle, eating and waiting to die.

Even a true genius must experience killing, life and death before he can give people such a feeling.

In fact, the first time Yi Chen came to rent a house underground, he felt a sense of dissonance. Why did the regular employees of the power station live in such a low-cost rental house? They obviously had such high attribute values ​​but chose to live together, etc. die.

As Yi Chen pointed out the key word "cemetery", the false surface that was deliberately hidden began to fade away on its own.

Ludwig Reagan began to take the initiative to show his true side.

Reagan looked into Yi Chen's eyes and asked in a low voice: "Can you... see it?"

"Being able to see... To be precise, it should be 'she' who let me see it on purpose.

Perhaps it was because this young lady smelled the remaining atmosphere of the cemetery in me. After all, I also came from a cemetery under the organization. "

When Yi Chen was speaking, he deliberately moved his eyes behind Reagan and nodded to the female corpse, which was both virtual and real.

"Were you a gravekeeper? Which cemetery was it?"

"Seven Days Cemetery."

"I heard it, it seems to be a small special cemetery."

When he said this, Reagan seemed to see something and shook his head helplessly, and continued:

"Is it really such a coincidence? Since I dropped out of school, no junior students have ever come to the power station to look for me... You are the first one, and it happens to be related to the cemetery.

If I guess correctly, it was Principal Deslin who asked you to come here, right? "

Yi Chen didn't hide anything. He put the principal's business card on the table and began to briefly describe what happened.

"...That's about it. Although it's the principal's recommendation, the main thing is that I'm asking for something from you, and I'm asking for an improvement in my perception."

At this time.

Yi Chen suddenly leaned forward, moved his right forearm onto the wooden table, and tapped his fingers on the table regularly, trying to take the initiative in the conversation:

"If I guess correctly, Mr. Reagan, you dropped out of school and came to the power station, perhaps under the guidance of the principal.

The reason why the principal is willing to give up an outstanding student like you is probably because you have met the [requirements] set by her in advance.

For example, reaching the "transcendence" level of induction in a short period of time... What you call easy to achieve induction [7] is actually not easy, and you must have paid an extraordinary price and effort.

In other words, you have been working hard since you entered Zion and used every minute and second for your own growth. "

After hearing this, Reagan smiled slightly and did not deny Yi Chen's speculation, "Is there more?"

Since the other party was not disgusted, Yi Chen continued:

"Mr. Reagan, you did not hesitate to work day and night to improve your [Induction], but you also gave up the resources from the principal, gave up your identity as a student and came to the power station.

It's never because you want to lie flat, but only with a power station, it is possible to achieve your [purpose], a goal that is extremely difficult and has almost no precedent.

You try to resurrect the lady behind you through 'technology' and 'electricity' related means.

Obviously, you have achieved certain results,

Let her reach a special state between the physical and the virtual. There is no need to rely on any power generation device, as long as the "bioelectricity" generated by your body can continue to exist.

She has even regained some consciousness and can respond to the cemetery aura on my body.

However, it is far from enough to fully restore consciousness.

Until you achieve this goal, you will stay in the power station to continue research. "

After hearing such detailed speculation, Reagan also smiled slightly and slowly returned to his usual homely state.

"As you said, before [Faye] regains her full consciousness, I must stay at the power station to continue research on the "circuit diagram of consciousness." "

"Can you tell me the details of Miss Faye? Maybe I can help."

"If someone in Zion could help, Principal Deslin wouldn't direct me to the power station to find a way on my own... However, Faye seems to like the smell of you, so it doesn't matter if we chat.

I am so grateful to the organization and the cemetery it set up to allow me to glimpse a glimmer of hope in the midst of complete despair.

About ten years ago, I carried the remaining half of Fay's spine alone to find a larger cemetery that required five gravekeepers at the same time - [Camberlier Cemetery].

It happened that the cemetery was recruiting people, and my excellent perceptual skills allowed me to easily pass the interview as a tombkeeper... Then I made a request to the supervisor there.

During my work, Faye's spine needed to be buried in a special cemetery with a 'resurrection effect'.

My supervisor agreed, but the price was that I would have to shoulder the workload of two people and work continuously for nine years without any salary.

Maybe my supervisor never thought that I could work for nine years and leave alive, but I did it.

Nine years later,

I dug up Faye's grave, and she grew up as she wished. The remaining spine has grown into a complete human body. No matter the body size or facial features are the same as before, it is even growing at the same time.

Unfortunately, her brain was destroyed and the cemetery was unable to form her consciousness.

After listening to the advice of my supervisor, I dragged her body, participated in the organizational assessment and passed it, and took her to the city of Zion to seek a way to restore consciousness.

Just as you guessed,

The principal made a bet with me that if I could get the induction to [7] within half a year, she would write me a letter of recommendation for the power station.

Let me be an exceptional researcher and be able to borrow the scientific research results of Zion and the equipment of the Electric Power Research Institute to reshape consciousness from scratch.

However,

The process was more complicated than I imagined.

Even if I study day and night, combined with my own abilities and the resources of the institute,

It was only through the "virtual grid" that she became the semi-entity she is now, and she can only realize the simplest consciousness activities through current conduction.

This level of awareness is far from enough. I still need greater technological breakthroughs.

Maybe it can be done tomorrow, or maybe ten or twenty years from now. "

Yi Chen nodded silently, probed further into his head, and gave a suggestion:

"Your induction has reached a transcendent value of [7]. If you can achieve a breakthrough through the relic, your ability as a prototype master will be qualitatively improved. By then, you may quickly achieve technological breakthroughs and even create your own consciousness."

Reagan shook his head,

"Faye lost everything in the gray realm, and I tried my best to bring out only one of her spines. Now she is gradually recovering and is completely tied to me through the "virtual grid." I don't want to risk this again. Risk, and didn't want to evoke her nightmare memories in the gray realm.

That's it, I'm glad to be able to talk to you so much, and Faye is also very happy...Thank you Mr. William!

Regarding [Induction] experience, I will take the time to write it down in detail and mail it to you. "

"OK."

Seeing that the other party was resolute, Yi Chen no longer stayed long.

When Yi Chen, the unexpected visitor related to the cemetery, left.

Miss Faye, who was supposed to return to Reagan's body as a microcurrent, showed no sign of disappearing.

She suddenly moved her body, came close to Reagan's ear, and used her tongue full of holes to emit bursts of electromagnetic sounds... expressing a certain wish through simple words.

"Go with..." After saying that, he disappeared.

Reagan sat for a long time, then walked to the bedroom,

He rummaged through a drawer at the bottom of a pile of girl figurines with the same appearance and found a metal cigarette box.

Take out a cigarette and put it in your mouth,

Ignite the cigarette holder with the electric sparks produced by snapping your fingers.

While exhaling the smoke ring, I pulled out an old photo hidden in the cigarette box - [A ten-year-old girl dressed as an electrician is hitting the head of a handsome young man with a wrench]
