Chapter 483 Brain in a vat!
Shen Ye supported the wall and looked down at his palms.
Cold sweat fell from his forehead one after another.
No one else was present at this time.
The small and quiet compartment was like a tomb. He stood there numbly, his face pale and his body trembling slightly.
In the beginning.
From the moment the barrier opens.
He traveled to another dead Shen Ye and experienced all kinds of bizarre and thrilling things.
It can be said that he is used to seeing wind and waves and has experienced hundreds of battles.
Even in front of the White Night Spirit King, he can deal with it calmly.
but.
Until today, until this moment.
For the first time, I felt something beyond my comprehension.
Fear arises spontaneously.
This fear does not come from any specific threat from the enemy, nor does it come from the conclusion that the Eternal Brain is dead.
This fear eroded my body and mind.
This fear——
It can't be suppressed at all.
Shen Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, spread his palms again, and stared at the twisting line of fate.
——The power of divination was not released this time.
The Eternal Brain is dead.
Divination cannot be performed!
However, the Eternal Brain is still running.
The fact that sentient beings in the real world are still alive is the best proof.
So.
Who is——
Controlling the dead Eternal Brain?
The eternal brain is the "road", the "god", and the home that protects all living beings.
It's dead.
And who is continuing to maintain all this?
Shen Ye stared into the void.
A line of small, dim characters quickly appeared:
"Because you possess the ultimate power of the era: Huntian Technique, although this power is not very powerful, you can still see through the void and see the looming virtual world."
The power of Hun Tian!
——Peaso also seems to have discovered the secret of this world.
But she didn't say much.
What exactly will it be?
From virtual to reality.
From birth to death.
All living beings continue to live on the eternal brain of death.
Why?
There must be a purpose for doing this.
Shen Ye was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly sighed and shouted:
"Divination!"
The power that had been accumulated for a long time materialized in his palm.
The twisted line of fate suddenly unfolded, rushed into the invisible void world, and disappeared all of a sudden.
Glimmering small characters then appeared:
"You activated the 'War Dance Singer' and raised the 'Fate Divination' to one level."
"The object of this divination is the 'non-eternal brain'."
"This divination has not been hindered."
"Start!"
For a moment.
Endless darkness suddenly appeared in front of Shen Ye's eyes.
The power of fate is meandering in the darkness, trying to find the "non-eternal brain".
The reason why this word is used to refer to it is because it controls the eternal brain, but it is not the eternal brain. In Shen Ye's subconscious——
This word is closest to the truth!
finally.
The darkness was like a curtain, retreating silently to both sides.
The sound of the ocean waves rippled all around.
Shen Ye looked down and found that the tide was rising beneath his feet.
This is the coast in the dark.
Why did I end up in such a situation?
Is there any foreshadowing?
Shen Ye walked blankly on the beach.
Suddenly, he saw a wooden box washed up on the beach with the tide and came to him.
Box...
Shen Ye subconsciously reached out and opened the box.
Inside the box was a huge, transparent water tank.
In the water tank, there is a squirming human brain.
Shen Ye was shocked, and those words almost blurted out——
Brain in a vat!
This is a hypothesis in human history. It is very famous and I have heard of it.
"A person's brain was cut off and placed in a tank filled with nutrient solution;"
"All the nerves in the brain are connected to the computer, and the computer continues to provide normal situational information."
——How does this person know that his brain is in his head and not in a vat?
Shen Ye held his breath.
The scene in front of me should be some kind of symbolic illusion.
Illusions are very easy to appear in divination.
A vision is by no means a real scene; it is merely an omen, a metaphor, used to make certain hints to the soothsayer.
Then——
The most important moment has arrived.
Shen Ye looked at the transparent water tank in his hand and tried his best to calm down.
——The existence holding the brain in the vat is the "non-eternal brain" he is looking for.
Who is it?
Shen Ye slowly looked towards himself, trying to see clearly the existence he was playing at the moment.
But he stopped.
dark.
The endless darkness turned into a curve and flashed past his eyes.
This is a harbinger of destiny.
——If you want to see clearly the controller of the brain in the vat, then the fate waiting for you will be endless darkness.
Can't watch...
I just knew about the brain in a vat thing.
So my pursuit of the truth can only end here?
Shen Ye was a little unwilling.
He simply continued to look at the brain soaked in the nutrient solution.
- See this brain is safe.
But what other information can be obtained from this illusion?
As Shen Ye was watching, he suddenly saw a black shadow emerging from the depths of his brain, appearing on the surface of his brain, and began to manifest into an eyeball.
"Can't be seen by it!"
For some reason, such an idea came to Shen Ye's mind.
He gently put down the water tank, walked behind the box, and gently closed the lid.
All of a sudden.
The box shook violently.
The newly formed eyeball is controlling the human brain to hit the wooden box hard.
The box is about to be cracked!
Shen Ye had no other choice but to say "San" silently in his heart.
——He forced the end of destiny divination!
All illusions recede like the tide.
Shen Ye suddenly came to his senses and found that he was still standing in the toilet cubicle.
He leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
In just a short while, my energy was already exhausted.
Glimmering small characters appeared before my eyes:
"Current mental strength: 0."
It's too dangerous.
If you continue to observe the illusion, even if the other party is not aware of it, your attributes will be overdrawn and you will die.
Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly and allocated free attribute points to mental power.
After he felt better, he opened his eyes again.
Look at the palms again.
There is no longer any curve in the palm.
"The power of 'fate divination' is currently overdrawn, and it will take some time to recover."
Even so, Shen Ye recalled what he had just seen in the illusion, and suddenly a sense of enlightenment came to his heart.
He suddenly understood what the vision represented.
——The other party is using the Eternal Brain to cultivate something!
What exactly it is is unknown.
But Shen Ye had a vague feeling.
The reason why there are so many death options in today's mission must be related to my performance yesterday.
I performed too well.
Looking at Xiao Yurong's reaction when facing the monster, we can definitely know how strong the monster is.
But he was fixed there by himself and couldn't move.
...It can't be like this.
Too conspicuous.
etc!
Are those monsters "cultivated"?
It's possible.
Shen Ye calmed down, walked out of the cubicle, turned on the faucet and washed his face.
When he looked completely normal, he walked out of the bathroom.
The ideas in my mind are getting clearer and clearer——
Most of today's missions are combat missions.
The only task is to appear on variety shows.
It just so happens that my vitality lies in this task.
...It's kind of interesting.
He pushed the door open and quickly returned to the rooftop.
Xiao Yurong is still waiting.
Other professionals were standing or sitting nearby.
"Sorry, I just took a look and the mission has been selected." Shen Ye said.
"Which one?" Xiao Yurong asked with interest.
"This." Shen Ye pointed to a task on the paper.
Everyone came over to take a look.
"Hide your identity, participate in variety shows as a professional martial arts practitioner, and vigorously promote the spirit of martial arts."
There was silence.
Xiao Yurong thought for a while and decided:
"Okay, let's do this task."
As soon as he finished speaking, a professional stood up and spoke.
"I still have something to do, let's take the first step."
"Me too." Another person said.
"Major General Xiao, I just took on an urgent mission and I have to go there."
"Yes, the sudden announcement of an urgent task is really nerve-wracking - I took the first step."
As the professionals spoke, they left the rooftop one after another.
Only Xiao Yurong and Shen Ye were left standing here.
"Why are everyone gone?"
Shen Ye asked doubtfully.
Xiao Yurong smiled bitterly and said: "This task is the lowest among all tasks... There is no valuable reward at all, so naturally everyone is unwilling to do it."
"Then there's no other way. I want to do this." Shen Ye said.
Xiao Yurong put her hand on her forehead, hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, took out her mobile phone and started communicating:
"Two people, complete the task of 'appearing on a variety show.'"
"The personnel are Shen Ye and Xiao Yurong, yes, yes, two major generals."
"You heard that right."
"We confirm that we are going to do this task."
"Okay, thank you, please arrange it immediately."
The phone hangs up. The next second.
Lines of small, dim characters suddenly appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“Currently, we have received the third mission ‘Looking for help’.”
"You will go on a variety show with your teammates, complete challenges, and be penniless."
"If you succeed, you will advance and obtain a higher level of eternal infusion."
"Start!"
At this time, Shen Ye's thoughts were different again.
He stared at the four words "penniless" and suddenly felt something different from before.
Could it be...
Is the emphasis on "penniless" a hint?
Hint to yourself not to be too pushy?
——Get the job done, don’t be in the limelight.
Shen Ye patted his forehead, feeling suspicious and almost nervous.
no way.
After seeing the head in the vat, I can't help but feel nervous.
afternoon.
Shen Ye and Xiao Yurong came to a mountain village far away from the city.
This is the recording site of a famous variety show.
Celebrities are visiting the village.
Photographers and staff surrounded the three floors inside and outside, and the shooting was in full swing.
Shen Ye and Xiao Yurong stood on the roof of a small courtyard, observing the situation together.
"Remember, we are the heirs of kung fu in this village, and stars will come to visit soon."
Xiao Yurong said.
"What is our mission?" Shen Ye asked.
"Just show martial arts, surprise them a little, and make the audience interested in martial arts - as long as the filming is completed successfully, we will have completed the task." Xiao Yurong said.
"It doesn't sound difficult." Shen Ye said.
"There is no reward for this mission. It is purely for rest and relaxation."
"Then you are still coming?"
"You saved me in the last mission, and I said I would continue to team up with you."
"Haha, I'm so sorry, I'm dragging you down."
"It's nothing, I'll take the opportunity to take a rest."
The two chatted casually.
Soon.
The crowd is coming this way.
The two of them jumped off the roof and stood in the courtyard.
There were several weapon racks placed in the yard, filled with weapons such as swords, guns, and sticks.
The director came to communicate first.
He emphasized that this event was a live broadcast.
——The director seemed to have been warned and knew that these two people had some untouchable backgrounds, so he briefly explained the process before retreating.
Before leaving, he took one more look at Shen Ye.
"Young man is very star-like. If you want to develop in the entertainment industry, come to me anytime."
He walked back and handed Shen Ye a business card.
"Okay, thank you."
Shen Ye took the business card.
Xiao Yurong looked at Shen Ye with a strange expression.
Shen Ye shrugged, saying that he didn't know what was going on.
——This director suddenly realized that he had the potential to become famous.
After all, he has the title of "popular idol Max" on his head.
Waited for a few minutes.
The cameramen also entered the courtyard.
Everything is ready.
The celebrities slowly arrived in front of the courtyard.
"Huh? There is a yard here."
"There are two stone lions at the door, so majestic."
"Go and see!"
Knock on the door.
"Who is it? Here we come." Xiao Yurong said.
She stepped forward and opened the door.
"Wow, you are Chen Yancheng!"
She looked surprised and looked extremely excited.
"It's me - this young lady, can you let us go in and have a look?" the male star asked reservedly.
"Okay, okay! Come in quickly! Wow, there's Liu Xiaoman, Yan Chengcheng - why are all the big stars coming to my house!" Xiao Yurong's cheeks were red and she was almost going crazy with excitement.
Shen Ye: "..."
This girl can act.
If that's the case, then there's no need for you to do anything.
Be a good backdrop.
Just complete the task successfully.
He stood obediently behind Xiao Yurong, watching her interact with the celebrities.
"Who is this handsome guy?"
The female star named Liu Xiaoman looked at Shen Ye and asked with interest.
"It's my brother."
Xiao Yurong did not say Shen Ye's name. She just handed over a pen and a notebook and asked the female star to sign her name.
The celebrities are obviously very interested in the decorations in the yard.
Xiao Yurong began to introduce various weapons, and occasionally played with them a few times.
The atmosphere is becoming more and more lively.
The celebrities chatted and laughed, showing off their elegance in front of the camera.
Liu Xiaoman suddenly ran to Shen Ye again and asked with a smile:
"Your sister's martial arts is very powerful."
Shen Ye also smiled.
I originally wanted to throw a set of punches and show off a few tricks to show that I still tried my best to complete the task.
But this star named Liu Xiaoman, a line of words suddenly appeared above his head:
"The Overseer."
entry.
And it's a black entry.
Black entries often represent negative effects.
So once the other party finds out that there is something wrong with him, what will he do to him?
Don't dare to gamble.
Can't be in the limelight.
After all, I went too far in the last mission.
"My sister has practiced martial arts since she was a child and is really good at it, but I'm not very good at it," Shen Ye said.
"Then do you think martial arts is good?" Liu Xiaoman asked.
"Martial arts has a long history. People learn to keep fit, so why not?" Shen Ye said.
"Look, your sister can also use a spear - do you want to show her hands?"
Liu Xiaoman asked.
"My sister and I have different skills, so it's mainly for her to show off." Shen Ye shied away again.
At this time, everyone also noticed the movement of the two people and looked over.
Liu Xiaoman refused to give up and asked:
"What do you know differently? What are you good at?"
Shen Ye glanced at the various weapons in the yard.
There are many weapons...
Can you tell me something unpopular?
He looked outside the courtyard and saw that the film crew had prepared a box specifically for various weapons.
If you just talk about a weapon casually, and it turns out that the other party has prepared it, wouldn't you still have to show it off?
For safety reasons——
The weapons are inappropriate.
Qinggong has never been learned.
Fists and kicks are even less capable.
You have to ask me what I am good at——
Shen Ye coughed lightly and said:
"I specialize in crushing rocks from my chest."
Everyone fell silent.
You are too unpopular.
——There are no big rocks in the yard.
"How's your practice going? Can you perform for us?" Liu Xiaoman asked pretending not to know.
"I accidentally broke a few ribs last time. I'm still recovering for the time being. Let's ask my sister to show you a set of stick techniques." Shen Ye said.
"Come! Everyone, please take a look!" Xiao Yurong enthusiastically grabbed a long stick and walked to the field.
She caught everyone's attention.
Liu Xiaoman also left Shen Ye behind, stared at Xiao Yurong, and began to examine her.
Time passes slowly.
After visiting the courtyard, the celebrities waved goodbye to the two.
The camera crew leaves.
The door closes.
Shen Ye and Xiao Yurong looked at each other.
Mission accomplished!
Xiao Yurong said excitedly: "What do you think of my performance just now?"
"It's pretty good." Shen Ye said.
"It would be great if I could be famous."
"You still care about this?" Shen Ye was surprised.
"Hmph, I'm only nineteen years old. Although I'm good at fighting, I also have hobbies."
Xiao Yurong took out her mobile phone and started to read the live broadcast comments.
"Ah, I obviously work so hard, why am I like this!"
she yelled in frustration.
"What's wrong?" Shen Ye asked curiously.
Xiao Yurong looked back at him and said with a complicated expression: "You are angry, Major General Shen."
"Me? But I didn't do anything." Shen Ye was surprised.
"The whole Internet wants to see your chest smashed with rocks, and the barrage is 999+." Xiao Yurong said in shock.
Shen Ye opened the phone screen and took a look.
Sure enough.
Especially when I said that my chest was shattered and my ribs were broken during practice, the number of comments almost reached the upper limit.
"Haha, so funny."
"Is there anyone still practicing this stuff these days?"
"You are so handsome, why don't you learn how to use swords and guns instead of how to crush rocks with your chest?"
"I was laughing so hard."
"Brother, you can't go out and make money by performing."
"The medical expenses are not enough, man!"
Shen Ye read it silently and turned off his phone.
"Teach me what to do to become famous." Xiao Yurong humbly asked for advice.
"It's very metaphysical, I don't know either." Shen Ye said perfunctorily.
Lines of small, dim characters quietly emerged in the void:
"Congratulations."
"You have completed the third mission of the Qing Monk."
"Currently obtain a power infusion from the Eternal Brain and obtain a higher-level profession:"
"Accepting the Taoist priests."
A flash of surprise flashed in Shen Ye's eyes.
Didn’t we talk about Dragon and Tiger Taoist priests before? How did you become a Taoist priest?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw brand new dark red shimmering small characters refreshed:
"You adjusted in time on the edge of death, reduced your own threat, successfully completed the mission, and received the reward."
"By doing this, you have acquired this hidden profession."
"——This is the backhand left behind when the Eternal Brain died."
"It hopes someone can save it in the future!"
