Chapter 70 Surprise
◎The boss is a child◎
"We need to get back to the starship quickly, but we don't know how to get back now." Xu Wen also felt the urgency of the situation. Since there was an abnormality, they were afraid that the planet A9011 would be blocked and their starship would not be able to take off and go back.
Xu Wen tried hard to recall all the roads he had taken today, and the three-dimensional map of this area in his mind was gradually being built.
Hei Wuchang suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction.
"What's wrong?" Qin Shu saw it and asked quickly.
Hei Wuchang frowned, then pointed to the innermost row of boxes: "There's someone there."
"In the black box?"
"Um."
"But aren't the items in the black box all auctioned?" So they are going to auction off a person?
Qin Shu suddenly became interested and prepared to take a quick look before Xu Wen could figure out a solution.
But just as she looked through the cabinet and the black box, she was suddenly stunned.
Because she didn't see a person, or rather, she didn't see a complete person.
There was only a strange machine inside, with various computers and screens on all four sides. The screens were dark at this moment, and in the middle of the machine was a large transparent square tank with half a tank of liquid similar to nutrient solution, and in this liquid was a brain.
This brain seemed to be able to breathe, and it would actually expand and contract slightly, just like a person inhaling and exhaling inside it, and even produce some bubbles from time to time.
No matter what, Qin Shu didn't think this thing could be called a "human".
Qin Shu frowned and turned to leave. But at that moment, the screen, which had been dark all the time, suddenly lit up, and at the same time, a line of words suddenly appeared on it: "Please help me."
"?" Qin Shu was stunned when she saw this and looked around subconsciously.
And a line of words appeared on the screen again: "Yes, I am talking to you."
"..." If she remembered correctly, she was in a spirit state right now? This screen, or this brain, was actually talking to her?
"What are you?"
Although Qin Shu had no ill intentions, her words did sound very rude.
As expected, a line of words appeared on the screen again: "I am the planet master of Planet A9011."
"Are you the planet master?" The mysterious planet master of the legendary planet A9011 is actually just a brain? And he's locked in a black box with the auction items?
Why does it feel so weird?
"Yeah, but I don't know why, but lately I've been feeling a strange sense of restraint. But when I talk about this with people around me, they always say that I'm just too tired and thinking too much."
"People around?" Qin Shu took a quick look, but didn't see any new brains nearby.
Another line of text appeared on the screen: "Yes, but they are a little different from you. You give people a weird feeling."
"Maybe I'm not the weird one?"
Xu Wen had already sorted out the evacuation route and was about to talk to Qin Shu about it in detail, but when he saw the device, he was stunned: "Brain in a vat?"
"Brain in a vat?"
"Well, it simulates our perception of the real world, transmitting various programmed signals to the brain. These signals aren't real. As those outside the tank, we naturally know that the programmed things are fictional, but the brain to which they are transmitted cannot recognize the source of these signals and will feedback them as real perceptions. In other words, to the brain, everything is no different from before, and we have no idea that we are no longer in the real world."
"Doesn't it know it's in a tank?" Qin Shu pointed at the brain that was still breathing.
"Um."
Qin Shu and Xu Wen had just finished talking when six dots suddenly appeared on the screen.
"Let's go." Xu Wen felt that this brain was a bit troublesome. The situation was urgent and it was not appropriate to be entangled by strange things. Although he was very interested in this device and experiment, he also knew that now was not the time to do this.
Qin Shu had no interest in strange brains, and she was not a saint who would lend a helping hand to anyone who asked for help.
"Yeah." Qin Shu turned around and was about to leave.
But Hei Wuchang floated over, pulled Qin Shu over, and whispered to her, "There is a cause and effect between you two."
"Hmm?" Qin Shu didn't understand what Hei Wuchang meant.
"Let me put it this way, if you help him now, he will help you in the future, and you can complete this cause and effect." Hei Wuchang said very solemnly.
Although Qin Shu didn't care whether this brain would help her in the future, she would still listen carefully to her friend's friendly advice.
So she finally turned around and asked the brain: "How do you want me to help you?"
This time, the text on the screen took a long time to appear: "Convince me that I am what you call a 'brain in a vat.'"
"How can I make you believe this?" Even Xu Wen was stumped by this difficult question.
Qin Shu's idea was particularly simple. After taking a quick look at the child, she coughed lightly and said to Hei Wuchang, "Oh, Lord Wuchang, I remember last time I went to the underworld, I saw some people whose life span hadn't yet ended, but whose bodies were damaged and unable to return to their original bodies. You rebuilt new bodies for those souls, right? If you put a brain into a body like that, would it also allow people to live in a new body?"
Hei Wuchang blinked again as he looked at Qin Shu. Moreover, during their last day trip to hell, they hadn't encountered anyone whose life span had not yet ended, let alone anyone who had rebuilt their body.
All of this was just nonsense made up by Qin Shu.
But Qin Shu was clearly telling lies, but her eyes were extremely sincere.
Who would doubt Qin Shu's words when she looked at them like that? Not to mention that the person they were trying to deceive was a child.
Hei Wuchang felt helpless in his heart, but his expression did not change at all. He was still extremely calm, which made people feel a sense of trust when they saw him.
"Yes." Even if it's not right, what the boss who gives achievement points as bonus says must be right.
Hei Wuchang called out to the child again, and then began to transmit the so-called body image to the child.
Well, it’s too difficult to simply invent a person, so let’s choose someone familiar who won’t have any impact on this world.
Your Excellency the Judge... after all, he is your superior, so it doesn't seem a good idea.
He seemed a little unhappy about having someone bear the appearance of Bai Wuchang.
Then there is only——
After Hei Wuchang transmitted the appearance of the body to the child, the child directly drew the body.
Xu Wen, who was standing by, saw the body becoming more and more solid, and suddenly fell silent.
Even Qin Shu couldn't help but widen her eyes.
This body is a carbon copy of Yun Shangjun! If Yun Shangjun saw this, he would probably come after the three of them!
But now they had no other choice. The three of them tacitly divided the work as if they didn't recognize this body.
Qin Shu asked the child to draw two more doors, one on the outermost glass and the other on the black box. Then she swiftly moved the jar and the brain out.
Xu Wen quickly checked the devices connected to his brain, and while checking, he carefully separated them from his brain.
Qin Shu quickly asked the child to open a lid on "Yun Shangjun's" head so that they could put the brain in. Then she erased the marks on the head, and the body instantly recovered to its original state.
The child obviously believed what Qin Shu and Hei Wuchang said. Once the brain was put in, the body really came back to life.
Seeing that this so-called cause and effect had been completed, Xu Wen hurriedly pointed out the escape route: "Where we are now is actually all the way south to the Starport. Inside this building, there are several places where inspections are relatively lax. There are also many decorations and obstructions in those places. Even if there is such light, we have many places to hide. As long as we are careful, we should be able to escape from these places without alerting anyone. But the most important thing now is that if Planet A9011 implements traffic control due to this riot, we may not be able to leave even if we get out and return to the Starport..."
Qin Shu obviously knew this as well: "Let's go out first."
"Let's go." Hei Wuchang nodded.
"Yun Shangjun" had no intention of leaving with them. Perhaps, because he suddenly had a body and saw those instruments and square cylinders from another perspective, many of his concepts suddenly collapsed. He probably wouldn't be able to calm down in a short time, and naturally he couldn't pay attention to other things.
But Qin Shu and the others had helped him believe what they called the "brain in a jar", and the cause and effect had been established.
"Little friend, what should we call you?" Xu Wen asked the child's name seriously.
"My name is Ma Liang, you can just call me by my name." The child replied without thinking, without any sense of being a celebrity.
Xu Wen obviously knew the name. After all, he had a wide range of knowledge, so after hearing it, his pupils trembled for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "Okay, Ma Liang, I'll show you the way. Can you help us open the door?"
"Sure, it's easy to draw a door."
So, Xu Wen and Ma Liang walked to the front, one showed the way and the other opened the door.
However, they soon encountered a situation where they needed to open a door in the ceiling and head straight upwards. Qin Shu first glanced at Ma Liang's expression and pen, and saw that he seemed to have recovered from the slight fatigue he had previously shown from creating the body. Then she put on her sincere expression again and spoke seriously and solemnly, "Master Wuchang, have you seen a dragon? Aren't they extremely fast and stable? And because they are exotic beasts, their bodies are impossible for ordinary people to capture."
Hei Wuchang: "...Yes."
Xu Wen: "Yes."
A dragon! He had never ridden a dragon before! So what Qin Shu said must be right.
Ma Liang was also very excited after seeing the dragon in Hei Wuchang’s mind. He finally saw the legendary dragon!
Draw it, draw it, draw it quickly!
Then, with a clear dragon roar, a giant dragon was born in this black market.
As a child, Ma Liang was the most excited. He pounced on the black dragon the moment he saw it. Xu Wen sat in the front because he had to lead the way.
Qin Shu took the initiative to sit in the last seat, which made Hei Wuchang a little confused.
