Chapter 319: Inhuman (127) (1st update + 2nd update + 8600 thunder 3rd update) [VIP]
Everyone was shocked by Cen Bingqi.
Cen Bingqi smacked his lips and recalled: "At that time, everyone was almost going crazy because of the memory of No. 3 that was suddenly stuffed into their brains. You suddenly killed No. 21. It's hard to say what other effects it had, but it really awakened everyone..."
It is not difficult to tell from his swear words that this is really a wake-up call.
The reason why depersonalization is dangerous is not because he will stuff the memories of No. 3 into everyone's brain. No. 3 is, after all, just a young man in his twenties. He does not have hyperthymesia. Even if he has more memories, everyone can process them as long as there is enough time.
The real danger of depersonalization is that it will also implant the cognition of this personality into the minds of other people.
This cognition included his memory, his emotions, and his thoughts. It was like a complete copy. This person was directly copied into the minds of everyone present.
In this situation, everyone was confused.
"At that time, no one knew that this was personality disintegration," Cen Bingqi curled his lips. "I don't know about other people, but the moment I was hit, I did have the thought that I was No. 3, and that I had possessed this body after my death."
They originally appeared here inexplicably, which is already mysterious enough. Then, after death, they will not really die, but will directly appear on other people's bodies. Isn't this normal?
No. 3's cognition after death is accompanied by a strong desire to survive, which is almost aggressive. Even Cen Bingqi is like this and has the illusion that he is No. 3, let alone others.
Possessing the memory, emotions and thoughts of No. 3, they seem to be the selves who were fighting each other in the last second, or they seem to be No. 3 who was accidentally killed by No. 21.
Without any preparation, in a short period of time, everyone fell into the dangerous brink of personality disintegration, unable to move, with two cognitions constantly fighting in their minds, and any time could become the next bomb.
Cen Bingqi appeared at this time.
He seemed to be unaffected at all. When everyone was at a standstill because of the memories in their minds, he walked directly to Cen Bingqi, pulled out the knife in his hand, turned around and stabbed No. 21.
"You directly and forcibly interrupted everyone's cognitive reconstruction process." Cen Bingqi said.
Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows: "But it does work."
"Yes..." Cen Bingqi was speechless for a moment, "It is indeed useful."
This sudden move stunned all those who were still in the process of reshaping their cognition.
For a few seconds, they even forgot the two sets of cognition in their minds and were only shocked by the second death that suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was just these few seconds that pulled several people on the verge of personality disintegration back from the brink of death.
The impact of facing death is too strong, like a sharp knife suddenly stabbing into everyone, instantly giving everyone a dose of sobering power.
It not only awakened everyone to a state of conscious awareness, but also awakened them from this meaningless fight.
After escaping from that crazy atmosphere, everyone seemed to have suddenly regained their composure.
"No. 3's death... did play a very important role," Cen Bingqi propped up his head, "He made everyone realize intuitively that there was no point in us fighting like this."
This body is simply a vortex that continuously absorbs new people. Even if you become the only person awake in the current situation, what can you do? Will you wait for new people to come in, and then get involved in the next fight, and continue to fight in this endless vortex?
Who can guarantee that they will always win? Who can guarantee that they can always control this body?
Sharing your body with other people seems to have become inevitable.
Moreover, the current situation is very clear. The later people enter here, the stronger the skills they will master or the strength they will possess.
This information may not be obvious when everyone is busy suppressing each other and forming cliques, but the disintegrated No. 3 experienced a period of peace in this body.
In the memory of No. 3, No. 1234 who appeared here at the beginning were all ordinary people. Starting from No. 5, their identities seemed to have changed to some successful people who had achieved some success in their own fields.
Continuing on, skipping over the university teacher Cen Bingqi who was obviously lying, starting from No. 11 Cen Bingqi, everyone's reinforcement direction suddenly changed from life achievements in the universal sense to the level of martial arts ability.
The level of this combat power keeps rising with the appearance of new people, No. 11 biological weapon Cen Bingqi, No. 17 hired killer Cen Bingqi, all the way to No. 21, when a desperado enters and kills No. 3 with his own hands.
"If things continue to develop like this, and now they are just the desperadoes, who will appear next?" Bai Jinshu raised his eyes.
"That's what you said at the time," Cen Bingqi nodded. "You said that on the 21st, they dared to kill someone. What about the 22nd? What about the 23rd? If things continue to develop, have you ever thought about what will happen?"
The newcomers that this body can accommodate have transitioned from safe ordinary people to a very dangerous zone.
"Everyone must put aside all prejudices and unite at this time to solve the problem of new people constantly appearing in the body. Otherwise, with the entry of new people, the fate of No. 3 will be the fate of everyone." Bai Jinshu seemed to be thinking about something.
"As expected of you, you had the same reaction at that time..." Cen Bingqi grinned and leaned back as if he couldn't bear it. "At that time, the most urgent task was to find a way to stop this process before No. 22 entered."
No matter how big the hatred is, it must be let go at this time. No one wants to die, or the reason why they develop to this point step by step is that no one wants to die.
No one wants to live in the darkness of their consciousness for the rest of their lives, unable to see the outside world again. So they have reached this point step by step, under the intensification of their emotions.
"I don't think I need to say anything more..." Cen Bingqi scratched his head, "The judgment you make now when you listen to me talk about these things is exactly the same as what you made then."
"If it were me then... the next step would be to make the best use of everything," Bai Jinshu thought for a moment, "The distribution method at the beginning was wrong. Evenly distributing the time each personality appears in the body will only result in a waste of resources. Not everyone can accurately discover the clues hidden in the traces, so this is completely ineffective exploration."
This set of rules is applicable when there are only two people in the body, number one and number two, but it loses its meaning when there are more people.
"I assigned each person the time to appear at the front desk according to their characteristics, and chose to actively call them out. But most of the time, I was at the front desk and controlled everything, right?"
"Yes," Cen Bingqi curled his lips. "At first, although most people didn't say it, they still had complaints about this arrangement. They felt that you were using public power for personal gain. But as time went on, everyone realized that Cen Bingqi found more clues as the front-line consciousness than anyone else did when he was in the outside world."
Or to put it bluntly, not everyone has a brain, and most people's brains are indeed not as good as Cen Bingqi's, but most people are unwilling to admit it.
At this time, a clue mentioned by Cen Bingqi completely overturned everyone's understanding of their current situation.
It started with a few deaths in the test area.
After Cen Bingqi took over the body, he immediately discovered that during the time when everyone was fighting, the number of researchers in the research group had increased dramatically, reaching more than three or four times the previous number.
At the same time, of the four friends that No. 1 and No. 2 had talked about, except for No. A who died after No. 3 appeared, the remaining friends B, C, and D also died during this period of time.
The cause of death of B was said to be improper experiment, C's was a sudden emergency, and D's was suicide.
These three ways of death seemed to be fine, but after multiple investigations, Cen Bingqi discovered that after the deaths of B, C, and D, the responses made by the experimental group were surprisingly consistent:
That was because of the death of the "relative", the leader of the experimental group was furious and the entire group was forced to stop the experiment.
After a period of time after the experiment is stopped, the entire experimental group will be disbanded and most of the experimenters in the group will be assigned to other experimental groups.
This is why there are so many researchers in their experimental group all of a sudden.
And then, Cen Bingqi discovered a new suspicious point.
"You said that, in fact, the other experimenters in the group are not really indifferent to us," Cen Bingqi straightened his face, "On the contrary, they care too much about us."
Number One and Number Two once said that they were doing the simplest work in the group, and all the experimenters isolated them. They had no friends or companions in this experimental group.
But according to Cen Bingqi's observation, this is not the case at all.
The other researchers in the group cared about him beyond the limit of their colleagues. His every move was watched by someone. Every place he went, every action he made, and every word he said, there was someone secretly paying attention to him.
It's just that this kind of gaze is subtle and not easy to notice.
Is a person who was inserted into the research group by his uncle through the backdoor worth such attention?
There are indeed differences between people's brains, just as most people are not as sharp as Cen Bingqi. This flaw that should have been noticed from the beginning was not discovered by Cen Bingqi, who was in control of the body, until more than twenty people appeared in the body.
Once this flaw is noticed, more problems will suddenly appear in front of everyone, just like pulling out a radish and bringing out mud.
For example, as the professor's nephews, they actually look nothing like the professor himself. In terms of kinship, the professor is their uncle, that is, their mother's brother. The relationship between the two is not distant, and no matter what, they should be able to see a little resemblance.
For example, no matter how uneducated a researcher is, it is impossible for him to only perform these simple tasks within the group and never see the documents related to the research itself. If it were not for deliberate strict prevention, a cleaner who does odd jobs in the laboratory every day would inevitably see some of the experimental content, so why can't they get access to it?
Also, everyone was fighting so fiercely some time ago, and the people who control the body are changing every day. Each person who controls the body has different preferences and habits. With more and more researchers secretly observing them, wouldn't they be able to find anything wrong?
If they had discovered it, then why didn't they, as colleagues, show any reaction, but instead continued their weird behavior as usual, and spent most of the day observing them?
unless……
"Unless everyone themselves is the subject of this experiment." Bai Jinshu changed his posture and spoke.
At this time, all the people who were called out returned to the backstage, and only Cen Bingqi and him appeared in the front stage.
Bai Jinshu got off the bed, poured a glass of water, and drank it while slowly sorting out his thoughts in his mind.
"At that time, all of you, or all of the 'connected people', were the real research subjects of the laboratory, right?"
"Is this the discovery that overturns everyone's cognition?"
"...Well," Cen Bingqi was silent for a few minutes, "Yes, it was not until Cen Bingqi began to control his body that we gradually discovered that we were the experimental subjects in the laboratory."
"The so-called connections are just to prevent everyone who appears in this body from being suspicious," Bai Jinshu said directly while drinking water, ignoring his silence. "I guess one of the key points of this experiment is to prevent the test subjects from finding out that they are just test subjects. Instead, let them think that they are one of the experimenters, so that they can develop naturally without knowing their own situation."
Cen Bingqi also made such a guess.
Eliminate all impossibilities, and the most unbelievable outcome remaining is the only answer.
Since we can't find out why they can't access the core of the experiment, is there a possibility that they are the experimental subjects?
It has to be said that no one except Cen Bingqi would have thought of this direction.
After coming up with this guess, Cen Bingqi did not tell anyone, but continued to pretend nothing had happened and continued to be the so-called "connected person" in the research group, secretly observing others in secret.
During this process, numbers 22, 23, and 24 appeared in their bodies one after another.
Of the three, Twenty-Two was the first to show aggression towards everyone.
No one knew what Cen Bingqi, who had never participated in the internal fighting, remembered during the time of their internal fighting. But when No. 22 tried to attack everyone, Cen Bingqi replaced No. 1 as if he had expected it, and then started his second performance on the scene after killing No. 21.
At his call, some of the people, who had been thrown into chaos by the sudden gathering on the 22nd, left and some stayed.
Everyone seemed transparent to him. Under Cen Bingqi's instructions, everyone present was useful. No. 22 was like a beast trapped in a cage, being played around by him. Finally, No. 11, Cen Bingqi, who was the most disobedient and unwilling to listen to advice, reluctantly delivered the final blow to the desperate No. 22 under his signaling eyes, and completely threw him into the deepest part of consciousness.
It was at this time that everyone once again realized what kind of person Cen Bingqi was.
He was like a snake lurking in the dark without making any sound, waiting for the opportunity to give everyone a fatal blow.
But he is not a snake. Before this attack, he is not cold and aloof. Instead, he often appears in front of people with a gentle and friendly mask, quietly collecting all information, waiting for the moment to strike with a smile.
He does not use force, but he does not rule out the use of force. He has more effective and thorough methods than physical force.
"Okay, stop bragging," Bai Jinshu interrupted Cen Bingqi mercilessly, "I have lost my memory, and I don't feel any empathy for you to flatter me in front of me. If my memory loss is really related to you, I won't let you go just because you flatter me."
"... Tsk, how can you say it's bragging? This is an exaggerated rhetoric..." Cen Bingqi saw that his plan was exposed, so he could only touch his nose awkwardly and continue, "You commanded the joint suppression of No. 22 and No. 23, and then before No. 24 showed up, you found the key evidence."
Cen Bingqi discovered that the real cause of A's death was not sudden death.
A did not die suddenly but it was reported as such. After his death, his research group was disbanded and its members were assigned to other groups. These pieces of information connected together instantly caught his attention.
So, without any access to any experimental content, he turned his attention to a very niche direction - the resumes of researchers in the group.
There are suddenly three or four times more researchers in the group. These extra researchers have worked in different groups before and have gone through several processes to get here.
Cen Bingqi's sense of smell was so sensitive that he caught this key clue and traced back. He found that all the researchers who were transferred into the group had previously been in the same experimental groups as A, B, C, and D.
It stands to reason that in such a specially designated experimental area, it is unlikely that there will be multiple experimental groups with similar experimental contents. After all, the funds and personnel are limited, and this is not a research and development control experiment, nor are they two competing institutions. In the same experimental area, the simultaneous appearance of multiple experimental groups with similar contents can only cause waste, rather than improve efficiency.
And if the research content is different, how can the experimenters after these experimental groups are disbanded instantly enter other experimental groups and then start new work seamlessly?
Not to mention the personal connections and professional preferences that are bound to occur within the experimental group.
The only reason that can explain this change is that the four groups A, B, C, and D and the experimental group they belong to are actually conducting exactly the same experiment.
In other words, A, B, C, and D are also experimental subjects.
A, B, C, and D are the experimental subjects who have already died. After the death of the experimental subjects, the experiment naturally becomes meaningless.
The so-called "project shutdown due to the boss's anger" period might be more accurately described as "all members of the group sorted out the experimental data, summarized the errors and completed the archiving."
At this point, an answer is obvious.
As experimental subjects, they had actually almost died once, when number 22 killed number 3 and everyone was affected by depersonalization.
Others may not understand this clearly, but Cen Bingqi, who has experienced two personality disintegrations, knows very well that this kind of cognition that suddenly enters the brain after the sudden death of a member can really kill a person.
After death, the personality will disintegrate again, and the chain will continue. As long as someone is disintegrated when the personality disintegration occurs for the first time, everything will go in an irreversible direction.
If A, B, C, and D were the experimental subjects, then they were actually the same as themselves. It was just that at the moment of personality disintegration, no one woke up first and came out to interrupt it, resulting in a chain of explosions of disintegration, and everyone in the body died in it.
So after discovering these truths, an extremely risky plan appeared in Cen Bingqi's mind.
"Everything is just speculation now. We can't be sure whether they are experimental subjects or not, nor can we determine whether A, B, C, and D also died of personality decomposition," Bai Jinshu twirled his fingers. "The best way is to pretend that the new person in the body causes a chain reaction when the next personality appears, and then observe the reactions of other researchers."
Cen Bingqi thought so too.
However, hearing people describe the situation at that time was far less dangerous than being in the real predicament. At that time, Cen Bingqi could not guarantee whether he could pretend to be convincing enough to convince the researchers and let them know that he had already realized the truth.
In other words, he suspected that a research laboratory that could conduct such an experiment must have special instruments to detect personality disintegration occurring in the test subjects.
There is only one chance, Cen Bingqi cannot take the risk.
"So you chose to really experience the chain reaction," Cen Bingqi took a deep breath and held his head. "At that time, I just thought you were brave, but later everyone knew that you were affected by No. 21!"
Cen Bingqi had extraordinary patience. After making the plan, he began to wait, and finally, he waited for number 26.
After the previous few times of command, everyone's trust in Cen Bingqi had reached the highest level. No one would question his arrangements, and no one would doubt his command. And just when everyone thought that this time would be like the previous times, everyone joined forces to suppress the dangerous personality, and life returned to normal, something happened that no one expected.
As the main attacker, No. 11 Cen Bingqi attracted all the attention of the opponent. No. 17 Cen Bingqi, who made the final attack, suddenly attacked from the dark and attacked No. 26 until he had only his last breath left and could not fight back. He was forced to sink into the depths of consciousness. At this time, Cen Bingqi, who had been in the command position, suddenly launched an attack, sinking everyone into the depths of consciousness.
And in the next second, he turned around and killed No. 26, causing personality disintegration once again.
Everything happened so fast that he didn't even have time to react. Only No. 11 Cen Bingqi, who was closest to him, seemed to realize something at that second and became the only one left.
"You beat me down at that time. Everyone thought you were just pretending to suppress everyone and take over the body by yourself. The only one left, Cen Bingqi, was everyone's hope. I don't know what happened next, and you never mentioned it," Cen Bingqi spread his hands, "but the only thing I know is that Cen Bingqi's personality was affected by the cognition of No. 26, and it can't be restored."
Just as Cen Bingqi's action of "creating a personality disintegration test researcher again" was actually influenced by the cognition of Desperado No. 21, Cen Bingqi No. 11 was obviously influenced by the cognition of Desperado No. 26 afterwards.
His personality became more violent, and along with it his fighting strength suddenly increased.
As No. 11, his strength was actually not as good as the newcomer who entered later, but no one knew how much of No. 26's knowledge he absorbed that time. After that, his martial arts value instantly jumped to the peak.
"Cen Bingqi had to observe the researchers' reactions at the front desk. He couldn't handle both 'observation' and 'reshaping cognition' at the same time," Bai Jinshu frowned slightly. The answer to why Cen Bingqi had become like this was about to come out of his mind. "So in order to ensure the accuracy of the observation, the only one left, Cen Bingqi, took the initiative to assume most of the cognition of the disintegration of No. 26."
"Ah..." Cen Bingqi groaned and scratched his head uncomfortably. "I guess that's the case. Cen Bingqi is a man whose fists are faster than his brains. This is the first time that his brain has the upper hand."
Perhaps it is not the brain that takes the upper hand, but absolute trust.
At the moment when everything happened, only No. 11 Cen Bingqi noticed Cen Bingqi's abnormality. He had complete trust in Cen Bingqi and had no time to think. He chose to stay voluntarily to help him share the risk.
This move is undoubtedly extremely risky.
As a person who has never experienced the disintegration of a whole personality, once Cen Bingqi can no longer bear it and is disintegrated as well, then Cen Bingqi, who is in the front line, will really disintegrate and go crazy as he receives two cognitions at once.
But the good news is that he managed to bear it, and during this process, Cen Bingqi, who had been at the front desk, also confirmed that there were indeed instruments in this laboratory to detect personality decomposition.
They are indeed experimental subjects.
He is an experimental subject living in this experimental area under the disguise of "nephew of a research doctor".
Everyone except them knows this. Their every move and every word are under observation. Each personality thinks differently. Researchers in the laboratory can even tell who is currently controlling the body in the foreground through subtle differences in brain waves.
The last time personality disintegration occurred, everyone was backstage, but this time Cen Bingqi realized that during this process, it was difficult to even stay awake, let alone act normally.
Amid the black screen as No. 11 Cen Bingqi desperately fought against the cognitive invasion of personality disintegration, he saw the nervous faces of the experimenters. They stuck patches of unknown things on both sides of his head. Some of them held notebooks, some quickly rushed to the computer, and some were nervously observing the data.
They said: "The newly added No. 26 caused personality disintegration. No. 10 cannot suppress No. 26. Should we add No. 27 to try to hedge?"
The researchers who had only cast veiled glances at him in the past took off their disguises one by one at this moment, surrounding him in three layers. Someone retorted, "No, last time, subject No. 3 was put into the hedge against death. This will only intensify the personality disintegration."
Who is Subject No. 3?
Amidst waves of personality disintegration, Cen Bingqi tried his best to look at the face of the researcher who was speaking, and quickly recalled his resume in his mind. He used to work in the experimental group where A was, and came here after the experimental group was forced to stop.
Number three is A who died suddenly.
The researchers were also saying more things that he would never hear normally.
They said that in the entire experimental area, he had the largest number of experimental subjects. Other experimental subjects killed each other due to various problems and died of personality disintegration before they had even a few consciousnesses introduced. This experimental group was the only one with as many as 25 subjects and was still safe.
This is due to the fact that the rules of introducing consciousness in this experimental group are different from those in other groups.
After discovering that personalities killing each other would cause personality disintegration, each experimental group began to try various methods to allow consciousness to coexist. Most of the experimental groups chose to introduce more peaceful consciousness and try to avoid disputes between consciousnesses as much as possible.
The advantage of doing this is very obvious, that is, when a group of good people get together, the disputes will basically not develop to the point where they need to kill each other.
The disadvantages are also extremely deadly. They are a group of mediocre good guys. Once their personality disintegration occurs, no one can resist it.
Unlike other groups, their experimental group took a different approach and chose a completely new track:
Dispute.
Just like the secret to keeping sardines fresh is to add catfish, the sardines' natural enemy, Dr. Liang believes that the reason why the other project teams failed is that the consciousness they introduced was too weak and peaceful, and lacked bloodiness. Therefore, at the moment of personality disintegration, no one had the qualifications and perseverance to resist the cognitive invasion, which led to the death of everyone.
Here, as long as conflicts are created and people are divided, so that they engrave hatred for the other side in their minds, then when faced with the moment of personality disintegration, once these consciousnesses receive another cognition that is completely opposite to their usual cognition, they will immediately realize that something is wrong and try to get out of it.
Therefore, they intentionally controlled the consciousness that was introduced each time, causing the consciousness to be divided into two factions to fight each other, intentionally increasing the fighting power and letting the situation swing back and forth under their control.
The appearance of No. 10 Cen Bingqi was originally because another experimental subject died at that time. The research team tried to avoid the failure case of the research team and tried to guide the situation from a simple armed confrontation to a mental struggle.
But by mistake, they chose the wrong person. They went too far and directly chose Cen Bingqi, who was not just "smart". So after he entered, he did not lead the research team as they wished, but never appeared in the EEG monitoring again.
This means that he is completely unable to gain the upper hand in the battle between personalities.
In the battle between consciousnesses, the mental struggle was completely suppressed by the physical struggle.
The research team had no choice but to give up this direction and turn the situation back to armed confrontation, deploying No. 11 Cen Bingqi, and continuously investing in consciousness with higher force values in subsequent experiments.
Inside the laboratory, Cen Bingqi, who was surrounded by enemies inside and outside, and Bai Jinshu, who was sitting opposite Cen Bingqi in the sea of consciousness, curled their lips together.
“They don’t know.”
“This is where the mistakes begin.”
They threw a cunning fox into a group of apes who only knew how to use force.
In this sardine can of chaos, there is no limit to the fox's natural enemies.
The author has something to say:
The only brain in control of the overall situation among the 24 people: Cen Bingqi
Why didn't Cen Bingqi discuss with others whether they were experimental subjects? Because from Cen Bingqi's perspective:
【Cen Bingqi: Because *……￥%so）￥…&（）Y(*
Others: Huh?
Cen Bingqi: What I mean is *……￥&*()O&, so we must %￥#+-/!
Others: Huh?
