Chapter 97 The fastest brain
Episode 97 "The fastest brain ever"
On the first day after returning home from the hospital, I met my first visitor - "Fu Lin".
During my hospitalization, I refused any visitors, mainly because I was not in the mood to deal with other people's moods and concerns. It’s not that I’m “not in the mood” in the sense that I’m in a bad mood, but I feel that dealing with others would be a waste of my energy.
This one went pretty smoothly.
During my hospitalization, except when the police came to see me, I actively cooperated with my treatment, took medicine on time, ate different fruits every day, insisted on getting some sun, maintained communication with the patients around me, satisfied my limited personal social needs, and stayed cheerful. When my skin was itchy, I would go to the grass outside to do Tai Chi together and then share snacks.
During the treatment process, physical pain is most likely to affect mood and spirit.
It's too common to torture yourself or others because of a bad mood. What I want is that at least there shouldn't be such discordant voices around me.
The doctor also said that I was recovering well and had grown new flesh.
I was also very happy, and after having dinner with my mother at home, I also felt quite happy. But when I heard the doorbell ring and saw someone waiting for me, my mood dropped completely -
A bit annoying.
I don't really want to meet outsiders.
For a second I wanted to pretend I didn't know and not respond.
Because I know that with Shang Hexing's extremely high self-esteem, he will be quiet for at least a day or two after being rejected. He is such a sensitive person who easily puts himself on guard.
However, I was watching him leave, but Shang Hexing insisted on pressing the button a second time.
His eyes did not flicker, he just looked at the door firmly. When there was no response, he pressed the button a third time.
This is not right.
I opened the door and met Shang Hexing's eyes outside, "...Fu Lin?"
This "Fu Lin" is the one I really believe the other person is Fu Lin.
After spending some time together, I feel that Fu Lin and Shang Hexing are really very different.
Shang Hexing used to pretend to be a social expert, but recently he has stopped acting and has a bit of a bad attitude. This is quite different from the original. Correspondingly, when Tang Li and Fu Lin were getting along, I once felt that Fu Lin had always been pretending to be a good person, but in fact, his kindness was not entirely a disguise, and he was not a completely hypocritical person.
The eyes are the hardest to deceive.
How did Fu Lin get changed back now?
What did they do in the past two weeks to deserve their change?
According to the plot of the novel, their relationship should have changed again.
It turns out that I am just a passerby.
What happened to the protagonist will never have anything to do with me.
All sorts of random thoughts flashed through my mind as I opened the door wider. Fu Lin seemed afraid that I would close the door again, so he held the door with one hand, letting me feel his strength, which was not something Shang Hexing would do.
Fu Lin said: "I want to talk to you alone."
My house is small, and Fu Lin immediately saw my mother sitting in the dining room, so he nodded to her and said, "Hello, Aunt Zheng. Sorry, I want to take up Li Zhi's time."
My mom doesn't care, you should ask me.
I thought to myself.
My mother waved her hand and said, "Then you can come in." Then she didn't move.
In fact, this sentence should be a hint that he might ask me to go out, or he might occupy a public area such as the living room or dining room. But my mother is like this. She only shows a limited amount of courtesy. When a friend came to my house, her enthusiasm was to invite them in.
Even though they know that the topic might be serious, most people will subconsciously step away.
However, my mother is not an ordinary person. Because this is her home, she won't move if she doesn't want to.
That's what I mean by "her politeness was limited" - just a greeting.
I said to Fu Lin, "Then come to my room."
Fu Lin's expression flashed with surprise, but he still agreed. When he entered the room, he was still hesitating whether to put on slippers. It was obvious that he was not Shang Hexing.
Didn't you know that in the comics you can see them changing identities?
With this in mind, we both squeezed into my room.
Fu Lin was very polite and didn't glance at anything in my room. I said sit on the chair, and he sat on the chair. When I was sitting on the bed and mentioned that our door was not closed, Fu Lin could clearly reach out and close it for me with just a touch. But he would stand up and close the door properly.
Such a cautious attitude is enough to show how nervous Fu Lin is now.
Did he know some earth-shattering secret?
The room was too quiet, with only my little Bai calling "coo".
I was too lazy to waste time on small talk, so I just looked at him and waited for him to speak.
I didn't like looking into his eyes either, so I lowered my gaze again and noticed his Adam's apple moved slightly. I subconsciously raised my eyes to look at him, but his eyes moved slightly and he hesitated for a long time.
I could only guide him, "…what do you want to tell me?"
Fu Lin glanced at my wound, making me think he wanted to ask about my injury, but it turned out to be a fake.
"——Are you a "player"? ”
The voice was not loud, but it was like a sharp blade, accurately piercing the silence of the air.
I stared at Fu Lin, trying to see if he was trying to test me or joking, but he looked more serious than I thought. "...What?"
Fu Lin was stung by my reaction, and his originally positive attitude quickly wavered, "..."
"What do you mean by player?"
I later noticed that Fu Lin was actually very worried that if he asked me questions in a too harsh manner, it would damage our relationship or feelings. But at that time I just understood that he was trying to trick me.
After all, in the past, in order to push them to solve the case quickly, I still missed some loopholes. Fortunately, my academic performance has always been pretty good, so I used the persona of a "nerd" to blind their eyes and minds.
But I have been able to pretend for so long, how could it be revealed by just one word at a time like this?
Fu Lin didn't know why he trusted me so much.
Not only did he tell me the whole story of how he was a player, he also described to me in detail the process of how he and Shang Hexing exchanged souls.
I felt very anxious when I heard this.
Because I can't act, I should show surprise at this time, otherwise my expression would be too suspicious. But I really felt nothing inside.
If you think about it carefully, I’m not really surprised that my dad said my mom was a clone and my mom said I wasn’t their biological child…
Am I too calm?
I tried to show that I was really listening to him.
So, when Fu Lin talked about following me into the secret passage of the Apollo Bar, he also wanted to check me, "Do you think I'm crazy?"
"...I'm just recalling what you said." I began to try to find evidence for him, "So, it was you who got off the Peace, not Shang Hexing. No wonder I felt that this was not like Shang Hexing's character? He...he's not that extroverted?"
Fortunately, they have quite a lot of loopholes.
However, I seem to be in a really spectator mentality about their affairs. Because I only remember the embarrassing things that happened on the Peace Ship, and I don’t remember much else.
As soon as I said this, Fu Lin's ears turned visibly redder.
I couldn't help but stare at it a few more times.
Fu Lin really seems to be easier to talk to than Shang Hexing.
I was still sighing when Fu Lin said something I didn't know how to respond to, "Sorry."
"…fine."
Fu Lin said: "No, it's okay. In fact, you should be looking forward to Shang Hexing, right? After all, you are here to pick up Shang Hexing..."
Let me think, why did I go to the Peace at that time?
I racked my brains and thought that I must have gone there either for Shang Hexing or for Fu Lin. Why should I go to see Fu Lin?
If Fu Lin hadn't been in front of me, I would have really wanted to knock my head hard to help myself remember.
So difficult!
What was Fu Lin's situation at that time?
I was still struggling with the issue, but at this moment Fu Lin glanced at me - the kind of look that made me feel like I had done something wrong. I don't know why I feel a little pitiful. They are obviously some boring things, but why does he care so much?
I don't want to make him feel entangled, after all, I really can't remember it.
So I simply replied: "No, I'm going to find "Fu Lin". ”
"What's the meaning?"
As soon as I finished this sentence, an idea suddenly occurred to me, "Because at that time I only knew that Fu Lin was on the Peace, but I didn't know that Shanghexing was on it?"
I asked back, "How do I know Shang Hexing is also on the train?"
Right!
Right! !
Is there any? ! !
I cannot be misled by established facts.
There was no way I knew Shang Hexing was on the train at that time, so the only person I was waiting for was Fu Lin.
Fu Lin also sat up straight. "So, Shang Hexing misunderstood?" This matter inexplicably made him excited. "I was wondering when you two became so familiar with each other. So that's it. This is a misunderstanding."
After he finished speaking, he looked at me with sharp eyes, "Do you think it is necessary to explain this to Shang Hexing?"
"All right?" I don't care.
"I think we should not tell him?" Fu Lin said, "After all, if he knew that he had lost so completely, I'm afraid I don't know if he would still be willing to cooperate."
"If you say no, then no."
Fu Lin immediately said happily, like a child who had eaten honey, "Then this is our secret."
"OK."
I agreed, but I was still full of doubts, "Is it really worth being happy about?"
Fu Lin said: "Because I have never shared secrets with others."
I was a little surprised and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that you, Fu Lin, have such a simple side."
Fu Lin shook his head, refusing to admit his naivety, "There is no such thing."
"Okay..."
Seeing that he was in a good mood and was willing to tell me the truth, I brought the topic back and said, "So you found a way to transfer souls in the secret passage?"
In fact, Fu Lin still concealed what happened in the main god space from me, and did not explain clearly that they would change their identities. Come to think of it, this makes sense, because even if you trust each other, you can't say such things to outsiders that you have killed another person.
So, what exactly did he do in Vita?
Have we really discovered a way to transform souls? Otherwise, how did he get it back?
Of course, I'm just stating a possibility.
After all, it doesn’t cost anything to talk about it. But I was afraid that if I continued talking about this topic endlessly, Fu Lin would find out that I had no memory of what I had done and was talking nonsense.
Fu Lin looked at me, confirmed my thoughts, and said, "I did find the instrument that Shang Hexing and I used to switch identities."
"What do you mean?"
How did fantasy turn into high-tech?
Fu Lin said: "I didn't believe it at first."
“…”
Your words revealed that you might have technology from a higher dimension, but I pretended not to hear it.
"It wasn't until Miao Lunan revealed a flaw that I knew that the Vita executives actually knew my true identity. It's just that they didn't point it out directly for some reason."
In the following words, Fu Lin briefly explained the control principle of the machine's operation - it is based on biological sensory transmission and control of neural signal regeneration and brain wave decoding, which is a highly advanced "brain control technology".
The human brain generates active electrical signals during neuronal activity, and these electrical signals overlap, combine and arrange in our brain to further form brain waves. Vita members can analyze and decode brain waves and convert them into executable control signals, achieving wireless control that transcends the limitations of time and space.
As for the key to body swapping, it depends on the "resonant synchronization" of brain waves. When the brain wave frequencies of two people achieve basic scalar wave resonance, or brain wave resonance, each other's conscious activities can form a real-time connection - this not only means reading the real-time state of both parties' thinking, which is telepathy in a sense, but it is also likely to further trigger a "consciousness leap", that is, there is a chance of achieving some form of identity exchange, the so-called "soul conversion".
It was no coincidence that the people from the Vita organization joined Fu Lin's team at the beginning. They realized that there were abnormalities in Fu Lin and Shang Hexing's brain waves, which were different from those of the people around them. Following them, Vita members were able to further analyze their brain wave characteristics and find key clues for breakthroughs in mind control technology.
“…”
It turns out they still have something.
I couldn't help but admire it in my heart.
"So you secretly used an instrument to change it back?" I asked, "Just to tell me that "you guys have changed bodies"? How do you want me to help you? ”
I'm not sure now if he wants to overshadow the question "Are you a player?"
If he doesn't want to talk, I won't bother with him anymore; if he wants to talk, I also want to hear what he wants to do.
Honestly, if Fu Lin hadn't been so sincere to me, I would have fought back the moment he said the first sentence, "Are you a player?"
"But I'm afraid there's not much I can do."
This is the truth I want to tell you.
My abilities are very limited.
Fu Lin looked into my eyes and said, "Li Zhi, I am very open with you. Will you tell me the truth?"
So you were waiting for me here?
I didn't express my opinion. "You say."
Because some words are meant to be kept in your stomach and should never be spoken no matter what happens.
Everyone has a measure in their heart to measure others. And some people, no matter what, are more important than anyone else.
"If you are not a player, are you the designer of this game world? I have seen your book in a library somewhere in Vita's base. Not just one, but all of them are your books. I am not judging by the name alone, the handwriting also looks like yours. I took photos as evidence." Fu Lin looked at me seriously, "There are at least 100,000 books."
There are hundreds of thousands of books, how can I finish reading them at my age...
Before I went to kindergarten, I spent time digging with other kids.
I shook my head, "My family doesn't have the money to buy so many books."
It’s hard to tell from Fu Lin’s expression whether he was depressed or relieved, but he didn’t just make that expression and then nothing else happened, leaving me guessing. He still didn't give up on explaining, but this explanation left me at a loss as to how to respond.
He asked, "I have a wild guess, but it might hurt you. Do you want to hear it?"
…
It's going to hurt me, are you sure I want to listen?
After I complained, I thought that Fu Lin might hope that I also have the right to know the truth?
I hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since it's just a guess, it won't necessarily change my life. I want to hear it."
"I think you might be a clone of the game designer. The person reading the book is you, but also not you. The books you read will be collected. And you are all independent individuals, so there are no shared memories." Fu Lin leaned forward and asked me what I thought.
“…You need to ask my mom about this. I don’t know either.”
You don’t know, but a similar legendary story has popped up in my mind, about a researcher rescuing a baby from the Vita base and letting him live and grow up normally in the world outside the base.
And then one day, that child will launch a fateful confrontation against the organization.
——What a classic story logic.
"I know you are absolutely innocent." Fu Lin said solemnly.
This sincerity and genuine attitude made me waver for a moment——
Really?
Am I innocent?
I suddenly began to doubt myself, is this okay?
Fu Lin didn't seem to want to bother me too much, and continued, "I heard from the Vita organization that someone else killed Cui Shi. I think the most urgent thing is to find out who killed Cui Shi."
"Really?"
If the murderer was found, my father could escape from the detention center safely.
Although I calculated the time and my father did have a chance to leave, he said I was an innocent person, so I must show an attitude of blind trust in everything and everyone.
If I act too confident, I won't look like a good person, right?
"But we still need to win over another person." Fu Lin then said a name.
"Miao Lunan".
His position on Vita is actually already very shaky, not to mention that he has very obvious weaknesses.
"It's just that he seems to only trust He Qisi, and doesn't trust me particularly. What he said was vague and over-general."
Fu Lin felt very difficult with Miao Lunan.
I am a little confused, why is it necessary to rely on trust in order to win others over?
"Then we can ask He Qisi for help."
"Will He Qisi be willing? I'm afraid he can't accept that Miao Lunan is a member of the Vita organization." Fu Lin said.
I asked back, “Isn’t this better?”
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is that you think He Qisi might not be able to accept it, which means that Miao Lunan is also worried. He will either keep it a secret forever, or dilute this fact with a bigger secret. No matter whether it is the former or the latter, as long as we catch him, Miao Lunan will be cautious."
Fu Lin said, "That's true. It may be difficult to get him to speak. It will take a long time to prepare, right? I know he's back outside the base. We can tie him up, which will be much faster."
"It doesn't take long to prepare. I just need to borrow a cell phone and that's it."
"May I?"
"Can."
There aren't many things I can do, but what I can do I can always do well.
Fu Lin said in my house that this time he had stolen the equipment from the base and had to go back. After all, he was afraid that Shanghexing’s military force could not deal with so many people.
So, he stayed at my house until the evening, hammering out the details.
Actually, I don't know what he was talking about. He just kept repeating the same things, such as trust, what happened after the body change, and information about Vita.
At 6:30 in the evening, as the only one who could cook, he made us fried vermicelli with sauerkraut, stir-fried beef and cabbage and tofu soup.
It smells so good.
Life-saving fragrance!
I’ve known him for so long and it was the first time I saw him light up.
When he left at night, I felt a little reluctant. Because he said that when he was at home he used to live alone and his parents were not around, so he studied recipes carefully and could cook all kinds of dishes.
“You are really good.”
Fu Lin couldn't stand the praise and smiled with his head down.
Shortly after he left, I went back to my room and started packing my suitcase. Not long after, I received a call from "Fu Lin", "..."
Shang Hexing asked, "Did Fu Lin tell me everything?"
"Almost." I was afraid that Shang Hexing would accuse and ridicule Fu Lin, so I said, "It's my fault for asking."
Shang Hexing was a little depressed, "Don't you think it's weird?"
"What?"
"Fu Lin uses my body to get close to you... We are not that close."
I remembered that he was a mysophobe, so I pretended that I didn't remember the embarrassing incident on the Peace and said, "I forgot. Which incident are you talking about?"
I thought he would avoid the question, but he spoke directly, "…It's about the Mir. How could you have forgotten it?"
"Now that I know the truth, I don't find it strange anymore. That's exactly what Fu Lin would do."
"If he did it, you wouldn't take it to heart? If I did it, would you remember it for the rest of your life?"
“…”
That's what he said, but I feel like he's very special.
Caution made me not respond easily, and I even wanted to change the subject to avoid making things too awkward for both of us. After all, Shang Hexing is really a bit sensitive, easily consumed by internal friction and thinking too much.
If I alienate the main characters from each other, it will be my fault.
Shang Hexing waited for me for a few seconds, and when I didn't respond, he sighed lightly, and then said seriously: "It was Shanghe Star that you were looking at on the Peace that day. How did you know where Shanghe Star was? ”
This sentence gave me a chill.
I immediately recalled why some people thought I was looking for "Shanghe Star" in the first place.
Didn't it start with that misunderstanding hug?
But it’s even before that!
I was the first to attract Fu Lin's attention, because I saw that he was obviously relieved. This made the mentally fragile Fu Lin come to me for help.
Apparently Fu Lin had forgotten about this today. After all, he had already lost consciousness at that time. He is still easy to fool.
However, the real Shang He Xing noticed my existence earlier than I thought, and even saw only "Shang He Xing" when he saw me.
Finished!
If Fu Lin knew that I was just trying to please him today, I would have no trust in him at all!
I have to shut Shang Hexing up.
"Because I heard that you were going to the Mir."
The CPU in my brain started to burn!
My little universe is exploding!
This is the fastest time my mind has ever worked in my life! ! !
I said in a calm, restrained tone: "Do you remember? You kept telling me that you were going to find Shanghe Star and would not leave Anubis, but the Peace was leading to the outside of the island. Then, there is only one reason why you boarded the Peace - "Shanghe Star is also on the Peace." ”
Oh, I'm going crazy!
Is there something wrong with my logic?
Probably not. With Shang Hexing's personality, he wouldn't take the initiative to confirm with others. He will only digest it internally.
"I was indeed looking for you at the beginning. So as you said, I was actually looking for the figure of "Shang Hexing". "I said cautiously," Sorry, can you not tell this to anyone? This became a secret between us...I know you don't like me very much. I am willing to accept it, but I don’t want more people to know my thoughts... I don’t know how to say it? When I heard about the Peace accident, I was very worried..."
Help, what am I saying...
Oh my God, please let Shang Hexing interrupt me!
I can't go on. What I said before doesn't make sense and if I continue I won't be able to keep up the lie.
Perhaps it was God's mercy that caused Shang Hexing to speak up in time, "There's nothing worth telling."
"Thanks."
Congratulations to myself, I succeeded in covering up the lie.
This matter can be completely put behind us.
But after I finished speaking, Shang Hexing was silent for a long time, as if he had something else to say. So I waited patiently again.
"I only have one sentence."
I held my breath, "You say."
"Don't make mistakes again in the future." His voice was low and slow, but unquestionable.
I was about to respond, but he hung up the phone in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry to do something.
