Chapter 4 One-minute speed pass [Psychic Power]
“Here, the two “volunteers” are all clean and here they are.”
At the end of the long corridor, On one side of the open transparent glass door, a strong man was talking to someone.
Opposite him was a woman in a white coat. She looked to be in her early twenties, with outstanding appearance and short brown hair. She seemed to have purchased some kind of high-end simulated artificial skin, except for a band around her neck. Except for the pale golden lines, the whole person looks like a natural person.
But this is impossible.
"Artificial glands" can deliver synthetic hormones including stimulants to improve concentration during work; "optical prosthetic eyes" bring high-precision vision more than ten times that of ordinary people, dynamic vision enhancement, thermal imaging perception, and network When the program is launched, a laser beam appears before your eyes.
The "alloy skeleton" can greatly improve the body's strength and at the same time serve as the "cornerstone" to bear the load of other implants, because some implants require prerequisites and cannot be directly implanted.
The "prosthetic arm" is far more than just improving strength, data interface, integrated tools, sensitivity improvement, etc. Doctors only need to replace the arm once, and they can get a pair of precise surgical hands comparable to those that have been practiced for more than ten years. . Personally customized prosthetic arms of cyber security consultants can greatly improve the efficiency of information warfare.
In short.
No one wants a "natural person" without implants, even if he works illegally in a factory. After all, even if you are unloading goods and moving bricks at the dock, it still depends on your strength. If someone else moves it once, you can move it ten times. If you are a boss, you know what to choose.
"Vidani! I guarantee you will like this person! She is very energetic!"
The strong man laughed, and his tone was quite attentive: "Let me tell you."
"Yeah."
The woman the strong man called "Vidani" stepped forward.
She slowly looked at the two people following each other.
Song Shi clicked his tongue in his heart.
Because the way the other person looked at him was not like looking at a human being, but more like staring at an anesthetized frog spread out on the experimental table.
The sight that swept across Song Shi's body from top to bottom made people think of a cold scalpel planning a route and about to penetrate.
After about a minute, Vidani finally raised her head and nodded slightly.
She pushed open the glass door and motioned for several people to follow.
Behind the door is a rather large laboratory. The air is filled with a strong smell of disinfectant. There are various complex equipment scattered around, but it can still be seen that it is used for medical research.
There are not many people inside.
Including Vidani, there are only five people, all researchers wearing the same white coat.
Perhaps due to "rebirth", Song Shi's five senses are sharper than ordinary people even if he has not yet awakened his spiritual power.
So, when he followed Vidani into the laboratory, he was pitiful, indifferent, and sighing. He could vaguely feel the emotions contained in the sight cast from a distance.
"Well, implanted mental tolerance."
Vidani suddenly stopped and turned around.
Seeing this, the strong man wisely put away his stun gun and stepped aside.
This woman is the favorite student of the institute director "Kenger". The two have very similar personalities. They hate others interrupting research and speech. As an ordinary armed security guard, he didn't want to make the other party angry for no reason.
“My colleagues have already mentioned the relevant introduction before, and I will not repeat it again.”
"In principle, the cause of 'implant tolerance' is mental decline, or mental breakdown. As for the definition of "spirit" and "mind", there is currently no sufficiently unified statement in the academic community."< br>
“Some people think that “mind” is the same as “spirit” and have the same meaning. Others think that the two are only partially overlapping and cannot be completely equivalent. “Spirit” is only the outer manifest part of “mind”. "
Vidani paused:
"From my personal point of view, I agree with the second theory."
Then you are quite capable."
Song Shixin said.
In fact, even more than twenty years later, there is no conclusion that can convince everyone about the definition of "mind" and "spirit". But for Song Shi, who is a fourth-ring psychic, he definitely agrees with the second theory.
A high-level psychic on the [Consensus] path can tamper with other people's memories with a single thought, or crush a person with a huge amount of negative emotions and malicious memory fragments.
The latter often collapse directly, cry bitterly, lose all hope, and even commit suicide. The mental state can be said to be extremely broken, but even in this case, "cyber psychosis" is not necessarily triggered. of.
Although the probability is indeed very high.
Of course, as a psyker of the [Great Source] path, Song Shi would directly use psychic flames to burn all the space into glass with the other party as the center and a radius of one hundred meters before the other party tampered with it.
But in the final analysis, I am not a researcher who works hard all day long. I don’t really care about the differences between “mind” and “spirit”.
“This is the drug you are about to use, a synthetic targeted enzyme that acts on neural circuits.”
Vidani walked to the table and pointed to a cube-shaped white refrigerator Box, through the small transparent window you can see a row of glass tubes with scrawled labels on them.
At this moment, a male researcher came over, holding two unmarked chips in his hand.
"When you get on the machine, insert this into the chip interface behind your ear." The researcher looked cold.
However, when he saw that the two people in front of him did not move for a long time, he reluctantly spoke: "Preoperative maintenance is divided into two parts. The first is to insert this memory chip, and the second is to board this "
He did not explain what memory this chip stores, nor did he explain the effect of the hospital CT-filming equipment not far away.
But Song Shi and Marico understood.
This is what is about to transform them into "cyber psychosis".
"There is only one machine, which one of you will come first?"
The male researcher's eyes moved between Song Shi and Marico. When he noticed that there was no movement between them, he couldn't help but frown: "You should feel sorry for yourselves. It's an honor. "
"The standard price of this 'Third Map Mind Adjustment Device' produced by Jade Pharmaceuticals is 7.4 million credits. Even if it is purchased through internal channels, it will not be less than 5 million— —You had no hope of touching it in your lifetime, but now you can be here, bathing in the glory of technology."
"What's more, you can immediately contribute to the great cause of medicine and give yourself the inferiority of the past. Life is a truly noble value, but at this moment, you are hesitant and hesitant?”
No wonder, these two people can only appear here, and everything is their own fault.
Thinking of the volunteer files he had seen before, the male researcher shook his head in disappointment and once again confirmed his thoughts.
But he did not say these words - he never had patience with stupid and stubborn people.
"Then, let's start with you." He looked at Song Shi.
"I'll do it."
Marico interrupted the other party and took a deep breath.
His face trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, Marico just closed his eyes and opened them again, and then stepped forward suddenly.
"Fuck! Get the results early and suffer less! I'll do it!" Marico grabbed the chip and said with a tense expression: "Just get on, I'll try this damn machine - I hope your medicine really works Useful."
Hearing this, the male researcher looked a little unhappy. He snorted with no meaning and waved his hand. Several other people in white coats immediately came up and took Marico to lie down on the "Third Atlas Mind Adjustment Device" while fixing the latter's hands and legs with two straps. Although the implant has been locked in advance, certain precautions are still required to prevent it from moving later.
As of now, the same is true for the strong man who has not left. If Marico moves too much later and cannot be restrained by the belt, he will use a stun gun. one time.
Marico lay down on the platform, and a helmet-like thing connected to more than ten wire tubes hung down to cover Marico's head.
All the light faded from the surroundings and it was pitch black.
The world suddenly became quiet.
The pungent smell of disinfection, the ups and downs of the stock market, and the complicated emotions in my heart all suddenly disappeared.
In a daze, Marico could only hear his own slow and rapid breathing.
[Memory chip ■■ has been placed]
[Start reading the internal memory——]
[Start mental adjustment——]
The next moment.
The man fell into the abyss.
"I, I want to go to the bathroom."
When he heard these trilling words, the male researcher who was staring at a data tablet turned his head.
He looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw one of the two "volunteers" in this experiment, the boy who had always been relatively calm, but now his face was obviously pale - with the blessing of the prosthetic eye, the researcher It could be clearly seen that sweat was dripping from the other person's forehead, and his hands were shaking unconsciously.
The other party's eyes were fixed on the "Third Map Mind Adjustment Device" not far away.
It is now the third minute that the volunteer named "Mariko" has entered the adjustment machine.
You can see that the opponent's exposed lower body is shaking constantly, as if he is bearing some kind of weight. At the same time, a suppressed roar that is reminiscent of the howl of a wild beast suddenly sounds from the opponent's mouth and echoes. All over the lab!
The researcher showed an unhappy expression and said coldly.
“At this time, you——”
“Let him go.”
Behind a display screen showing complex data graphs, Vidani raised her head.
The suppressed roars echoing around her did not cause any fluctuations in Vidani. She looked indifferent and said calmly: "——Let him go. I don't want to see excrement appearing in the experimental site later."< br>
The male researcher's voice stopped suddenly, and his expression changed. He seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it after all.
On the other hand, when the strong man not far away saw this, he laughed "Puff" as if he couldn't hold it back.
"Brorick, take him to the bathroom and be back in ten minutes."
Vidani glanced at the strong man, then lowered her head again and continued to stare at the display screen in front of her.
“No problem, no problem, I promise to complete the mission——”
The strong man shrugged, picked up the stun gun in one hand, and motioned for Song Shi to follow him.
When the latter stood up, he seemed to be still in fear and almost staggered, which made the researcher's eyes become more contemptuous.
The moment he left the laboratory and came to the corner of the corridor, Song Shi felt his shoulders suddenly sink.
A cold metal arm suddenly pressed on his shoulder.
The strong man held a stun gun in one hand and hugged Song Shi's neck with the other, like a pair of close friends.
The voice that sounded in Song Shi's ears was filled with undisguised impatience.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you want to do, little bastard.”
Due to the difference in physique between the two, the strong man hugged Song Shi with just a slight movement. It was like being crushed in my arms.
"I've seen guys like you a lot." The strong man sneered, stared into Song Shi's eyes, and lowered his voice: "Do you think about regretting it until the end of the matter? Oh, how can the company's money be so easy to make? If you are so afraid of death , you should go to Cindy Street to sell your ass instead of coming here."
"I, I'm not." Song Shi curled up, showing obvious fear.
“Let me remind you, the windows of the toilets here are all sealed, so go to your toilet or simply use a pipe. In short, don’t think about causing trouble to me. I don’t want to waste time. Take a shot at that thing below you.”
“Don’t cause any trouble to me.”
The strong man stared at Song Shi, almost sticking to his face.
After saying this, he took back his right hand, slapped Song Shi hard on the back, and pushed towards the bathroom in front: "You little bastard, get over here."
The young man shuddered and subconsciously looked at Looking behind him - the strong man swayed, held up the stun gun, showed his frivolous smile again, and whistled.
So, the young man rushed into the bathroom as if he was running away.
Then, the moment when Song Shi entered the cubicle and closed the door.
His expression changed instantly, the fear he showed just now disappeared, and his trembling hands clenched and unclenched.
Song Shi raised his open right hand and crossed his chest with two fingers together.
In the end, stay where your heart is.
In the long process of development, there are countless ways to awaken spiritual energy. Masters can give you initiation, personal enlightenment at a certain moment, immortality after being struck by lightning, step-by-step training and meditation, precious spiritual miracles. Things force you to awaken for you
The most common one is "extreme stimulation".
For example, when you are seriously injured and on the verge of death, you turn back to the lantern, feel disheartened that you have been abandoned by the world, face the ensuing various blows, and commit suicide through depression - although most people are prone to the above situations. Either dead or nothing happened.
But there are also a very few lucky people who use this opportunity to awaken their spiritual powers.
——It is said that the first psychics awakened in this way.
Extreme stimulation.
Given the current situation, what else can be better than giving your heart a try?
Since there is no time for other methods, then take the most traditional route.
The next moment, Song Shi tightened his grip on the copper plug he had taken out not long ago, aimed it at the bottom of his heart, and cut it open without hesitation!
The chaos caused by Marico alone is not enough to ensure escape. You must obtain a greater weight, that is, your own strength.
The prosthetic body is not enough, so spiritual energy can be used to make up for it.
Next.
Speed through [Psychic Power] in one minute!
