Uplifting Journey

"Stand-in. Is it a self-aware existence?" In a laboratory in Italy, Risut, wearing a thin hospital gown, stared at the metal worms on the back of his hand in a daze.

"It's not necessarily 'self-awareness' in the usual sense, but it's the lowest, and the stand-in also has a fairly high level of intelligence." Cheng Bin in front of the computer raised his head from the latest experimental data and glanced at Su Te. The subject of the experiment, "You should be able to understand the role of your 'metal products' in transforming your own vague and general thoughts into actual physical changes, right?

"Humans are not computers. Even with professional training, it is difficult to grasp the process of the generation, movement, and extinction of every thought, let alone such a precise connection with material changes. Even if one's wishes come true, it is impossible. Achieving satisfactory results without precisely defining what you have in mind?"

Risut was silent for a long time before slowly nodding——

The monster named "Cheng Bin" who controlled the lives of him and his companions, except for some experimental needs, completely dismissed their power or money at hand. This guy didn't care whether they had rebellious thoughts or behaviors at all. Most of his energy during this time has been spent on "educating" the selected target.

What kind of nonsense is it to educate a group of social dregs who are gangsters in popular science? For some people, asking him to learn to estimate is not much different from asking him to kill him.

Regrettably, in front of this monster named Cheng Bin, "I can't die" is not just a verbal threat—the other party can even manipulate part of the experimenter's nerves and glands, thereby controlling his physiological reactions and even emotional activities. No matter how strong the "heart" is, it is difficult for the "body" to make effective resistance.

After being forced to go through the "cramming education" of "sincerely feeling happy", Risut barely understood what Cheng Bin's purpose was.

But just because he understood part of the other party's purpose, a certain sense of fear of being controlled by others beyond his own life took root in his heart——

He has already deeply understood how many physical laws in human cognition have been violated by his substitute "metal products", and he also understands how terrifying energy and intelligence his substitute needs to realize such abilities.

This is definitely not something that can be taken for granted as "belonging to human beings and to oneself".

Risut, who was trembling at the tip of the iceberg he saw, suddenly understood why the major forces on the earth have put down a lot of conflicts of interest in recent years, and tended to unite and develop faintly——

The higher the level of technology and the deeper the mystery of the substitute, the more you can feel the terrifying shadow behind the world. In the face of this bottomless unknown, human beings should move forward cautiously with awe.

In comparison, how short-sighted, ignorant, and ridiculous it is for them to use their stand-in abilities indiscriminately to seek some insignificant benefits.

The long metal worm on the back of the hand suddenly stretched infinitely, twisted and extended forward, forming a magnetic induction line model full of strange beauty. A square iron block floated in front of Risut, following his movement The idea rotates and deforms.

The ability to control the "iron" of the human body to create a large number of sharp blades out of thin air is completely lost with the deepening of biological and physical knowledge, replaced by more flexible and precise control capabilities in the composite fields of light, electricity, magnetism, heat, etc. .

Electromagnetic integration, light and heat derivation. Risut, whose stand-in appearance fits perfectly with the current scientific and technological knowledge of human beings, although the actual lethality has temporarily dropped a bit, but has a potential far beyond the past-the knowledge he has learned can be used The stand-in's unique senses and abilities are easily transformed into actual power.

It's just that the price is extremely heavy.

Recalling the mutation of the stand-in due to the change of concept, and the obvious jump in the personality parameters shown in the psychological test, Risut's feeling in the bottom of his heart is extremely complicated-in the face of the power of the stand-in, human beings even I can't even hold onto something like myself.

If the substitute really has self-awareness, are these substitute messengers just empty shells used to carry the substitute?

"Speaking of which, how are things going over there?" Cheng Bin finished the work at hand, turned off the computer and looked at Risut, who was immersed in inexplicable thoughts, "It's been a long time, although the structure of the enthusiasm organization is not very good. Reasonable, but the immediate boss's reaction should not be so slow."

"Investigation of the boss." When mentioning the absolute taboo behavior in the organization, Risut also hesitated, "Proxiet and the others have already mastered many branches in the organization. In theory, the boss who is closely monitoring us should have noticed it long ago. Abnormal and send people to deal with it."

Maybe it's because the boss is their common enemy, maybe it's because Cheng Bin gave him more power and a clearer direction, maybe it's because Cheng Bin cured his abnormal eyes with black background and red pupils. Or maybe It is this monster who has mastered a deeper control over the human heart in the experiment.

The current Risut and his companions no longer resist the orders from Cheng Bin subjectively. They started their actions early on. Polo" information.

Although Cheng Bin provided only the name and appearance from Polnareff, it was basically enough to filter information and find someone.

However, the boss, who has been keeping a low profile and hiding his identity, should be extremely sensitive to this matter. It is hard to imagine that such a guy would not pay attention to the existence of searching for his identity information in various archives and databases.

To be honest, at the beginning of the operation, Risut and the others were already mentally prepared to be killed by the boss's personal guards or even the boss himself. A tinge of joy was born—that guy, he must be afraid, right?

".Although we haven't been able to obtain more information about the boss, we have some information on those who paid attention to and erased the information in various archives, as well as the senior cadres related to them at the higher levels of our organization. Now we have to start Yet?"

"Diablo didn't respond?" Cheng Bin was a little surprised. He glanced outside the window of the research building, then nodded and said, "Well, my work at hand is over, and the guests are coming. I will deal with Diablo's affairs personally. Go deal with it, you guys start the full-scale erosion operation according to the predetermined plan, he will always show up."

Pulling open a side cabinet, Cheng Bin took out a row of slender disposable syringes, and threw them to Risut casually: "These are the things under my indirect control—the ones with specialized functions, the ones I designated. A stand-in envoy, and a guy whose ability you find interesting that you don’t have in the data, give him a shot if you have a chance to survive.”

Using the stand-in to attract the needle to firmly catch the bullet-like syringe, Risut swallowed at the almost colorless and transparent viscous liquid in the instrument at hand, and then carefully folded it away.

——It seems that before long, there will be a bunch of "companions" or experimental "volunteers" who have to study together

Risut, who was emotionally fluctuating in his heart, nodded to Cheng Bin, then turned and walked towards the door of the laboratory. His figure gradually dimmed as he moved forward, and finally disappeared completely transparently in the open door——after the double mutation , although he can no longer create protective colors out of thin air with multi-colored metal dust, he has achieved optical invisibility that distorts electromagnetic waves with a stand-in.

After leaving the research building, there were many people around. Risut didn't want to reveal his identity casually, and he didn't want people to see his ugly and simple clothes.

Well, the members of the Enthusiasm Organization are still very picky about clothing.

However, Risut, who was walking in the corridor, suddenly had a stagnation of breath and a constricted heart—a burly man wearing a white peaked cap and a white windbreaker appeared in front of him at some point, with his hands in his pockets, Leaning forward slightly, the volley floated quietly towards the door of the laboratory
