"Five years ago, in 2015, if you want to find memories related to the Black Snake, it would be better to start from five years ago."
Five years ago... that's quite a long time ago.
Simodo looked to be no more than forty years old.
Gao Ang then performed a bone age test on him, and "indeed, he is only thirty-six years old."
However, he really looks like a forty-year-old, so weathered, probably because he has done too many bad things.
Five years is a relatively recent memory for someone who is thirty-six years old.
"Why think about these things? Let's simulate the memories first."
Gao Feng muttered something to himself.
Before I've even figured out how to unlock the secrets of memories within synapses, I'm starting to worry about which year's memories to look for...
The question then becomes: how do we retrieve a specific piece of memory?
Simodo behind him was still howling in agony. By this time, his legs were gone, and the separation of his lower body had gone past his ankles, gradually invading upwards.
"Waaaaah"
This was his sobbing, very pitiful, and also desperate.
Gao Feng carefully observed the activity of his neural synapses, eager to know how to break down these synapses.
He began to recall the time when Natren restricted his movements; at that time, he only felt a force invading his brain.
The neural synapses in one's own brain suddenly became unusually active due to this force.
It is this abnormal activity that stimulates other related tissues and organs, leading to a loss of bodily mobility.
He had done similar things before, but it didn't fit with his memory.
"Force stimulates synapses...synapses trigger actions...memory resides in synapses...that is to say, synapses are both the result and the root cause...memory is both the result and the root cause...the two can communicate with each other and can also act in opposite directions...that is to say..."
His raised brows furrowed even deeper, as if he had grasped something.
"If we compare synapses to handicrafts... then we need a mold... With this mold, can we obtain samples of these synapses?... With these samples, can we then create some new synapses?... And if we put these synapses in my brain, can I then translate these memories?"
Gao Ang opened his eyes, feeling that this line of thinking should be correct.
The full-force field once again covered Simodo's neural synapse area. Instead of looking for synapses elsewhere, he selected some nearby ones.
After meticulously recording the size and dimensions of these synapses, he began to simulate them in his own mind.
This process is somewhat difficult, and quite difficult at that.
The main reason is that his own body cells have mutated and become exceptionally powerful.
If an ordinary person's cells only require a force of 1 to change from shape A to shape B, his cells may require even more than that force.
Although his full-force field power was unpredictable and exceptionally strong, simulating Simodo's synapses still consumed a great deal of his energy.
However, the expense was worthwhile because he actually "saw" some memories.
These memories were formed after Simodo was taken to the edge of the cliff, and they were all from a first-person perspective.
It's like watching a first-person movie, or like playing Counter-Strike.
Draw your gun, change your magazine...
Even the torture he is currently enduring, the pain, the despair—all of it is present.
"Does that mean it's done?"
Ang Gao opened his eyes again and exhaled.
That feeling just now was truly terrifying. Even though he knew these things weren't his own, he suddenly felt something was wrong with his feet.
I looked down twice, and my feet were still there...
"Damn, it's better to do this kind of thing less often. If you see too much of this, your nerves might not be able to handle it."
He has a superhuman physique, and even a super brain, but even so, he still has some aftereffects.
After erasing that memory, Gao Ang continued to explore Simodo's memories...
"Bank account password... squad member information... permanent location... oh ho, and the Ocean Base too... hmm... another old lecher... he's done quite a few bad things... not even sparing the elderly and children, looks like you deserve to die... I guess I'm doing this on behalf of God?"
Simodo's condition was not good; fear and despair had left him barely breathing.
"Your mission is complete. Now, I'll give you a release."
Upon hearing Gao Li's words, Simodo's eyes even showed a hint of gratitude.
...
After throwing Simodo's remaining body into the sea, Gao Ang dragged his exhausted body back to his elder brother Gao Yuan's mine.
He didn't go in; he remained observing from the air.
It was almost dawn in the local area, while in the East it was the morning of the next day.
Simodo's memories are, after all, a massive mess, and even though Gao Feng read them selectively and at a fast pace, it still took him quite a while.
Moreover, his fatigue was not only mental, but also physical.
Retrieving those memories consumed at least 80% of his stored energy.
Fortunately, the Red Continent has no shortage of sunshine. High above, it observes the aftermath of the rescue efforts below while replenishing its energy.
"Could this be the legendary soul-searching technique?"
Ang Gao is a person who likes this move, which appears in many fantasy novels in the Eastern Kingdom.
It's possible to see other people's memories through magic, but the soul-searching mentioned in the book usually has a greater impact on the person whose soul is being searched, and it doesn't say that the person who performs the soul-searching will suffer such a terrible fate!
From the perspective of exertion, the Soul Searcher should expend more energy.
The soul that is searched is simply a part of its synapses that are copied unintentionally.
Of course, it's not impossible. For example, the soul searcher might not only copy these synapses but also perform other actions on the soul being searched.
Just like Robert, Natren, and Gao Gao rescued those vegetative patients, by stimulating their synapses, they made them do things that they could not accept, so that they were in unbearable pain or even died from soul search.
Leaving aside the issue for now, Gao Ang rested for a while and felt much better.
It's time to go home, and at the same time, I need to plan how to get revenge on the Black Serpent Mercenary Group.
As for what happened in Kenya, it didn't cause much of a stir.
It's fair to say that the whole thing was over before it even began.
But Gao Ang knew that this was just the beginning; the relentless pursuit of him and his family would not end until the dark web's hidden traps were eliminated.
On November 3rd at noon, the official website of Sword of Justice posted another announcement:
In 2015, in the Kingdom of Chizhou, due to an oil and gas pipeline issue, the Black Serpent Mercenary Group massacred 1,163 innocent villagers. The coordinates are: XX, XX. There is a mass grave of a thousand people nearby.
In 2016, in the country of West Asia, the Black Serpent Mercenary Group plotted a terrorist attack against the country, resulting in the deaths of 53 innocent civilians and countless others being seriously injured.
16 years...
The above lists various materials that Gao Gao copied from Simodo's mind, which is why he said that the guy deserved to die.
"Given the wrath and resentment of the Black Serpent Mercenary Group, the Sword of Justice has launched Operation Divine Punishment! All those who participate in these operations will pay a bloody price."
"Heaven cherishes life. Effective immediately, all those involved in the above actions must, within three days, sever one of their own arms, post an apology video on Twitter, and surrender all illegal gains to avoid death. Otherwise, they will bear the consequences!"
The reason they are not allowed to surrender to the local authorities is mainly because these people committed their crimes abroad.
To put it bluntly, given the nature of the International Criminal Court, it probably doesn't have much enforcement power.
Governments in various countries will likely turn a blind eye, preferring to avoid trouble.
However, not many people paid attention to this announcement.
Because apart from that judge of the International Criminal Court, the Ori Group remains at large to this day.
None of the senior executives got into trouble, and there haven't been any negative news reports about them.
"Tch, all you do is scare people. If you're so capable, take down the Orly Group first."
"Exactly, do they really think they're God?"
"Heavens punish you... You scared me to death! Hurry up and come on, I'm not afraid of you. I am the Black Serpent, so what?"
...
There are many people making noise online, but of course, these are all extreme people, or rather, people who are not mentally sound.
There are still some people with a conscience who hope that governments around the world will cooperate to take down this global terrorist organization.
"My God, is this for real? So many people can die in peacetime?"
"It's probably true. The peace we see may just be on the surface."
“I can attest to its truth. I worked on a construction project in Chizhou, and there were indeed rumors about it there. The village didn’t say they were unwilling to relocate; they were just waiting for someone to come and negotiate. But those contractors didn’t even bother to talk; they just killed them all. It was so tragic!”
"These executioners deserve to be skinned alive! They're beasts!"
...
"Your Majesty, I've sent you the general information. Please compile a list for me, and remember, it needs to be detailed."
"Don't worry, sir, I'll get it done as soon as possible."
Gao Ang nodded and continued to lie on the rooftop sunbathing.
He overdid it this time. He seems to have recovered a lot of energy, but he knows he's still a bit short of his peak condition.
Moreover, he felt that something was about to change about him again.
Just like what's written in the book, if you want to break through, you must constantly take risks and squeeze out as much of your potential as possible.
But his attempts to break through his limits by running or flying alone are no longer very effective.
This experiment, however, can be considered to be on a mental level, so some subtle changes occurred.
These are all his personal feelings; he lies here waiting for the opportunity to break through.
From noon until night, this opportunity never came.
"Could my intuition be wrong?"
Gao Ang sat cross-legged on the rooftop, somewhat puzzled.
Like everyone else, he was still completely baffled about this body.
He didn't know exactly what direction the mutation would take.
He didn't know where the limits of the white sphere lay.
There are advantages, but as for the potential risks, we are at a loss.
"Your Excellency, how is the Black Serpent's list coming along?"
"Alright, we're just missing a few petty thieves. These are the majority of the people involved in those incidents."
Chitose synchronized some information with him and also gave him some printed materials.
Looking at the printed list, Gao Ang shook his head and sighed, "Hell is empty, all the devils are here on earth."
He then published the entire list on the official website of Sword of Justice.
Even so, the impact was within a controllable range and did not cause the uproar he had imagined.
That's normal; netizens have short memories.
It is said that netizens' memories only last seven days.
In other words, no matter how big the issue, once seven days have passed, the hype will inevitably subside, and it may not even cause a ripple.
It has been a long time since the last incident involving the International Criminal Court judge, far more than seven days.
Therefore, the reputation of the Sword of Justice has long since faded from the minds of netizens around the world.
Moreover, last time they used a lot of internet influencers to carry out a relatively large-scale publicity campaign.
This time, only a very small number of viewers were able to see this information.
Another reason is that many Western countries are very superstitious about these things.
They know how corrupt they are, so they won't give the Sword of Justice much exposure at all. Or rather, not that they won't give it much, but that they won't give it any exposure whatsoever.
"Since we agreed on three days, let's wait three days. If everything is still calm after three days, then..."
Even if Gao Yuan didn't say it, Chisui could guess what was coming next.
He was just curious about what methods the gentleman would use to retaliate against those people.
Should we take the initiative and slaughter everyone in the world one by one?
That feels very satisfying, but it's exhausting!
Moreover, the workload is too heavy. Chitose always felt that doing that would lower her status.
But he won't ask; he'll just wait quietly.
...
After what happened at the mines in Kenya, Gao Yuan and his team did not immediately return home.
These people who were sent abroad had received emergency training on the current situation before they went abroad, and they were also mentally prepared for it.
People from China will arrive soon. In addition to strengthening security, we also need to provide them with psychological support...
Twenty-four hours after the incident, a domestic Kunpeng special plane delivered new security equipment.
As one of the managers of this mine, Gao Yuan was qualified to have access to this new equipment.
But when he saw what was inside those containers, he was completely stunned:
"Wow, what's this? A robot?"
He pinched his colleague next to him. "Does it hurt?"
"Of course it hurts! You pinched me!"
"Then it must be right, which means I'm not seeing things. Tell me, is what you see the same as what I see? Is it also a robot?"
Gao Yuan released his grip on the other person's fingers, rubbed his eyes, and then asked.
"Yes, it's a robot, very similar to the one in the movie, but it looks even better."
"Good heavens, this thing must be invincible in the Red Continent, right?"
"Let alone the Red Continent, I reckon even if we were to go to the Mountain Country, we could probably put up a fight, right?"
Although Gao Feng was also extremely surprised, he remained relatively rational:
"Don't brag. If we can produce something like this, maybe they have a much richer foundation. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. They've been developing for hundreds of years, while we've only been around for a few years."
None of them were one-sided in their enthusiasm; the high altitude cooled them down, and their emotions calmed down.
Although I was still a little excited, I was much more rational compared to the blind worship and confidence I had just felt.
"Yeah, this thing looks scary, but after analyzing it this way, it seems... it's only good-looking?"
"It's more than enough to deal with that group of mercenaries, but it's hard to say whether we can compete with them in certain areas."
"Don't be so polite. It's hard to say. This thing probably can't fly, right? If it can't fly, a nuclear bomb or missile will still finish it off!"
Gao Yuan looked at these people speechlessly. You were the ones who were bragging just now, and now you're the ones who are criticizing them: You guys are something else!
He turned around and asked the company's senior management, and the reply he received was: they didn't know either, everything was arranged by the relevant departments.
"Relevant departments?"
Gao Yuan could only shrug helplessly at this amazing department.
We stopped worrying about why we were equipping them with such advanced technology; in any case, with these things, their safety was theoretically several levels higher than before.
Meanwhile, in Kyoto, the same officer, after receiving a report from his adjutant, nodded and said, "Understood. Just make the arrangements. If necessary, we can flex our muscles a little. As for the extent of it... you decide!"
The adjutant nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I'll make sure they know what's good for them."
...
Gao Feng did not believe that the Black Serpent Mercenary Group would be the last to set its sights on his elder brother.
His family and friends are mostly in China, so those foreign spies could do the same things they did to his family.
However, if they want to do something big, like kidnapping Gao Yuan, it's basically impossible.
Especially after the last incident where those people who were monitoring and plotting to cause Gao Gao's parents to defect were killed without cause, these people realized once again that it wasn't that Dongguo hadn't paid attention to them, but that they didn't want to make things too ugly.
Of those who were injured or disabled, only the female teacher remained on duty; the others had all disappeared.
But the old people left, and new people came...
In short: Imperialism will never give up its desire to destroy us!
All of this was within Gao's expectations, which is why he put those Iron Man figures at home and at his father's workplace.
These people's goal is only for him personally; it shouldn't have reached the point where they would take the lives of his family.
"Sir, three more mercenary teams have accepted the mission and should be making their move today."
"Three teams?"
Gao Ang sighed, "It's true what they say: people die for money, and birds die for food!"
"The dark web world should know that Black Serpent has been completely wiped out this time, right?" Gao Ang then asked.
"There is indeed such news. Some people even say that the leader and second-in-command of their squad have gone missing, but this certainly cannot stop those mercenaries who value money and life."
Chitose pasted several messages onto the projector and then said:
"These are the three teams that are preparing to take action today. Sir, are you still going?"
"Of course I have to go. He's my older brother, my family. I absolutely have to go. What did the higher-ups say?"
Gao Feng pointed to the top of his head.
"We've already sent some people over to increase security for the local outpost teams. In addition, it seems we've also equipped them with a few Iron Man suits."
"They're already in actual combat?"
Gao Ang was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, this thing should be considered a minor super move, right? How could it be exposed with such a small thing?
Could it be that the higher-ups don't value these things much, and that they have even more ruthless weapons at their disposal?
Thinking of this, Gao Ang thought of the giant squid's corpse.
That day he was quite certain that there was no smell of explosive residue, no large-scale radiation, and no major disturbance in the waters surrounding Shanghai.
But such a large squid was cut into such pieces...
"Could it be... that makes sense. After all, it's a state apparatus, so it's understandable that it has some hidden tricks up its sleeve."
"If that's the case, it seems I was fooled back then."
Gao Ang suddenly realized that the officer hadn't said that back then.
It's as if he's a traitor to the country if he doesn't popularize robots and infrasound weapons...
"I have to go there again to check things out on-site. If those robots are unreliable, I'll have to take action myself."
For the first time, Gao Ang suddenly felt a little tired.
