Chapter 3 Cyberpsychosis and Water Seal
——Mariko will die here.
Cyberpsychosis is not an irreversible terminal illness. It can be suppressed and slowed down by chemical drugs in the early and middle stages. Even if it develops in the later stages, it will cost a lot of money to undergo "mind adjustment" surgery or to ask for high-circle psychic energy from the [Consensus] path. If someone takes action, there is also hope of saving everything.
But even more than twenty years later, Song Shi had not heard of any pharmaceutical preparations produced by any company that could cure the later stages of cyberpsychosis. The contract signed by Song Shi only said that they would be transformed into "cyber psychosis", but the specific stage was not mentioned.
But Song Shi’s understanding of the company was enough for him to make a judgment.
"Not mentioned" is equivalent to "certainly there is". This research institute is more overestimating its capabilities than Song Shi expected, and attempts to challenge the later stages of cyberpsychosis.
Of course, even if the above are just Song Shi's personal malicious speculations, what a wonderful and magnificent creation the human "mind" is?
Song Shi didn't think that in such a not-so-famous city and a not-so-famous research institute, it was possible to accurately control the degree of transformation of "cyberpsychosis".
I don’t want to take any risks.
So, I must leave.
And Marico——
Theoretically, based on the calculation of the load of all muscle fibers in the human body, the strength limit of a natural person is "4500 kilograms", but due to physical, pain, and self-awareness, no one has ever really achieved it. , even one-tenth of this number is enough to be called a rare strongman.
The same is true for non-natural people with prosthetic implants.
The arm prosthetic "Thunder Fist Fire" produced by Nanyu Heavy Industries is said to be able to throw a heavy punch of one ton, but most of the time, the strong burden caused by swinging to half a ton is enough to trigger The pain threshold makes people faint or emergency stop using this prosthetic arm.
But this kind of thing is not a problem at all for "cyber psychosis".
A lunatic will not reason with you, talk about theories, discuss whether this punch will hurt or whether it will tear his artificial skin directly, and the synthetic plasma will splash everywhere. Even if this will greatly reduce the durability of the prosthesis and cause damage to itself.
This is one of the reasons why once "cyber psychosis" attacks, the patients often turn the streets into the scene of third-level movies.
But at this moment, Song Shi needs this exactly.
Through the physical connection of the data cable just now, the "lead wire" program has been penetrated into Marico's body. With just a preset command, your own and the opponent's prosthetics can be instantly unlocked.
After entering the laboratory and officially starting the medical experiment, an unfettered "cyber psycho" - even if Marico is only a civilian engineering prosthetic body, is enough to cause chaos.
That's your chance to escape.
“Why don’t you speak?”
Mariko frowned.
He suddenly found that at this time, the other party actually seemed a little distracted.
“I’ve thought about something, and there’s nothing to say, right?”
Song Shi looked at the other person, paused, and suddenly spoke.
"I don't think I have something to say."
"Huh?"
Mariko was a little confused, because when the other party said this, he seemed to have just The adult boy's expression became serious.
You know, even when the two parties just signed the contract, the other party didn't seem to be so serious.
Marico thought so, but he didn't show it, but said calmly.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
"I will definitely handle your daughter's affairs." Song Shi paused for a moment and said seriously: "This is my promise."< br>
Hearing this, Marico was silent for a moment, and slowly, his expression became weird.
"What are you talking about? What you were thinking about just now couldn't be some superhero movie or TV series, right?"
Marico said in a strange tone: "Also, you are saying such things... Hehe, it's not sure which of us will survive. Maybe I am more suitable for that broken medicine."
"Seriously, Based on what you just said, if I met you on the street, I would definitely think of you as a poor person who is addicted to virtual online role-playing, inserting himself into the game or something else, and can no longer distinguish reality.”
"Fuck, promise. What a disgusting word."
But soon, looking around and at himself, Marico shook his head again: "Forget it, I'm not qualified to talk about them."
< br>"Anyway"
The door suddenly opened.
Before pushing away, the high-pitched voice of the security guard penetrated. "Hoo ho! Gentlemen! It's time to get ready to hit the road!"
Looking at the two people in the room, the strong man clapped the stun gun in his hand, and the picture with the etched circuit crossed An ugly smile appeared on his face.
"The equipment has been debugged. Now I will take you to change clothes and then go to the laboratory."
Song Shi and Marico stood up together and followed the strong man.
The Third Institute of Psychology and Psychiatry in Paloser is not that big.
In the memory of "Song Shi from the Orphanage", from the outside, this research institute covers an area of more than ten acres and is located in the urban area of Paloser [Lota District], which is also commonly known locally as [Lota District]. New Industrial Zone].
There is not much information about this research institute on the Internet, and it is not well-known in Paloser on weekdays. If it weren’t for the certificate presented by the other party, it would prove that it is indeed affiliated with [Emerald Pharmaceutical], "Song Shi of the Welfare Institute" I really don’t dare to come here.
After all, the organs of a healthy adult male are not cheap. Every morning in the Deep Moss District, people see hollowed-out and abandoned bodies in dark alleys.
Along the way, Song Shi took note of the thumbnail map of the building posted on the wall at the corner, while sizing up the strong man in front of him.
The strong man's left arm is still the size of a normal person, while his right arm is significantly larger. It is not even covered with artificial skin. The surface of the black and gray metal skeleton is shiny, and the carbon muscles wrapped inside are vaguely visible. Fiber——
With normal force, you can probably twist a length of steel bar into a bow tie.
As for the opponent's weapons, the stun gun held in his arms should be a civilian model. According to the size of the energy storage module, the power will not be too high. However, there was a bright pistol stuffed in the holster on the opponent's waist. It was probably a live ammunition weapon used as a "final warning".
——Third-rate level.
After observing for a while, Song Shi made a silent judgment in his mind.
This level of combat power, placed on those medium-to-high-intensity battlefields, is probably only slightly better than temporary cannon fodder that is roughly inserted into the tactical memory. If the security forces of this institute were of this level, then escaping from prison would be easier than expected.
Soon, the strong man stopped.
The lights in the corridor are still pale.
The strong man took out his employee ID card and scanned it, and the automatic doors on the side opened to both sides.
Walking into this room, there are two sets of large white clothes in disposable plastic bags on the table in front of them. On the other side are shower stalls separated by partitions, each of which can accommodate only one person.
“I’ll give you three minutes.”
The strong man yawned.
"Remember to wash up and put on this hospital gown after washing. Let's go to the laboratory. Don't think about delaying the time. I don't want to pull you out directly. I'm interested in the man's bare butt. But I’m not interested.”
In the shower room, Song Shi took off his clothes neatly, turned the water temperature to the lowest level, and let the cold water rush down.
"Huh——"
One minute and thirty seconds.
I couldn't tell whether it was the cold air or the exhaled breath. In the cramped space, dense white air rose. Song Shi took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Through the flat mirror on the wall, this was the first time Song Shi saw his current appearance clearly.
Short black hair, thin build, and more outstanding appearance than most people.
".Why does his appearance look like mine?"
At this moment, Song Shi was a little surprised to find that the appearance of this body was almost the same as that of himself in the previous life, with only some minor differences.
However, Song Shi quickly suppressed these thoughts. He must leave here as soon as possible and think about the rest later.
He opened the plastic bag and put on a pure white hospital gown. Then his eyes swept across the shower room and finally settled on the sink.
To be precise, it is the water sealing plug at the bottom of the sink.
Song Shi pulled out the plug without hesitation.
This is a standard water sealing plug, a cylinder, made of some kind of composite copper material, with a ring of ridges on the edge, which feels slightly tingling to the touch.
Looks like you are lucky.
Song Shi pinched the stopper, slowly moved it across his chest, feeling the cold touch, and whispered.
"Sure enough, compared to fingers."
"It will be more convenient to use this method when digging out the heart later."
