Chapter 14: Sora Akiyama

(Sunday, May 13, 2012; on the bridge)

The night was nice, the temperature had warmed up, and the occasional croaking of frogs could be heard. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

There is a new development in today's research, so Sora Akiyama's off-duty time has been postponed to the evening.

Their progress would not have been possible without a paper published some time ago in the journal Nature. Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine use a technique called single-molecule imaging to track and locate the movement of protein molecules in a single synapse in mice. The structure of the synapses in mice is very similar to that of human synapses, and with this method, the researchers discovered a precise pattern of neurotransmission processes.

In this paper, the authors describe an unexpected aspect of this neurotransmission process: neurons can localize near receptors to release neurotransmitter molecules, and in each synapse, proteins are very precisely organized around the intercellular space. This research brings new ideas for Sora Akiyama's team to develop artificial neural cell brain-computer interfaces based on molecular biology.

As far as he knew, before the [Galaxy Federation] implemented the "Other Shore" plan, each human country had already launched its own brain science program. Among them, the United States focuses on the research and development of new brain research technologies, the European Union focuses on using supercomputer technology to simulate brain functions, Japan focuses on using marmosets as models to study various brain functions and the mechanism of brain diseases, and although China started late, it has taken the lead in the world in the study of monkey transgenic animals and the research of non-human primate brain disease models.

After the implementation of the "Other Shore" plan, human brain science research has tended to be more of a multinational alliance and an all-round advancement, and there is no situation in the past where countries were wary of each other, and nine times out of ten it was the [Galaxy Federation] that was secretly making trouble. In particular, the study of the cognitive neural mechanism of the human brain has made considerable progress.

He thought as he walked, and before he knew it, he had reached the edge of the bridge across the river. After crossing the bridge, it was not far from the apartment where he lived.

"Burst, reality!"

"Break it, nerves!"

"Banishment – this – world!"

A voice from ahead interrupted Sora Akiyama's musings. He looked up and was surprised to find two familiar figures - Yuta Tomigashi and Yuroka Totori. He remembered seeing them playing an exorcism game in the park a month ago, and then learning about the exotic Galactic Federation and its "Other Shore" plan.

At this moment, these two secondary and second patients are standing side by side under the street lamp, looking at the two girls who are in a fighting posture. The two men didn't know Sora Akiyama, one of them was a tall girl with long chestnut hair and dressed stylishly, while the other was a petite girl with blond hair and two long double ponytails.

What are these two doing?

Akiyama's mind changed extremely quickly, and after a momentary loss of consciousness, he immediately realized that these four people were immersed in the illusory world of Nakaji's delusion.

"Damn, it's so troublesome for me to watch a battle!" Akiyama Sora was not polite, and immediately used the ability belonging to the [Observer] to unknowingly hack into the corresponding network of the "Other Shore" plan, and enter the illusory world where these four people lived.

Sora Akiyama's transparent figure appears on a massive bridge. It is a giant stone bridge in the medieval style, several kilometers long and more than three hundred meters wide. The entire bridge is made of obsidian, and the surface is shimmering with dark golden magic runes. The bridge is set between a wide canyon that is bottomless, and the sound of the raging rapids echoes at the bottom of the valley.

Sora Akiyama saw that the four were standing in the middle of the bridge. Yuta Tomigashi and Yuroka Kotori stand aside, while Tanyu Tani Mori Natsu and Sanae Tsukamori are preparing to fight.

After entering this illusory world, Yuta Tomigashi and Yuroka Tori's clothes have not changed, but the clothes of Tansheng Tani Mori Natsu and Sanae have changed to battle attire.

Dansheng Tani Mori Xia is wearing lightweight power armor, but he is equipped with machine guns, missile arrays, and photon cannons on his arms, as well as an unknown weapon launch port on his back, and multiple fumaroles can be seen. And Sanae changed into a dark dress, but other than that, he was empty-handed.

Akiyama felt that the lightweight power armor on Tansheng Tani Mori Xia was very familiar, and it seemed that he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember anything for a while.

"It's going to be up, middle two little ghost!" Dansheng Gu Senxia shouted.

Before the words fell, Dansheng Gu Senxia locked onto the target, the machine gun was fully fired, and the bullets poured out like a torrent. To Akiyama's surprise, Sanae on the opposite side grabbed a ponytail with both hands and spun it like a hot wheel, easily blocking the torrent of bullets.

"It's all right...... I'm convinced!" muttered Sora Akiyama. He did not show himself in this delusional world, but watched from the sidelines.

"Looks like there are still two brushes. Sanae's right hand reached out, and a circle of dark red charms appeared in her hand, and then a golden-colored sledgehammer appeared out of thin air, and she held it firmly, dancing like the wind.

"mjolnir_tornado (Thor's Hammer Tornado)!" Sanae quickly spun the sledgehammer and rushed towards Tanyu Tani Mori Xia.

Tanyu Tani Mori Natsu nimbly backflips to dodge [Thunder Warhammer] while still firing, but her bullets couldn't break through Sanae's golden storm.

Suddenly, a harrier from Dansheng Gu Senxia turned over and jumped down the railing, looking at the momentum, it seemed that he was determined to jump to the bottom of the valley. Sanae didn't hesitate to follow immediately. Akiyama thought about it and followed.

"gene_brionac (Gene Thunder Gun)!" Suddenly, Dansheng Tani Senxia toe a little on the cliff, stopped retreating, and turned around with a heavy blow. Four streamers of light were launched from her arms** to Sanae. Sanae hurriedly placed the [Thunder Warhammer] on his chest, and a golden magic barrier appeared, blocking the blow.

Although the fight at hand was inextricable, the figures of the two moved quickly to the other side of the bridge, and after a while, they both turned over and jumped onto the bridge. As soon as he got on the bridge, Sanae slammed his head and covered his face. Dansheng Gu Senxia folded his arms in front of his chest, and a pale blue transparent barrier appeared, firmly protecting her.

"No matter how much you do, it's futile! you can't be Mori-sama!" said Sanae loudly as she smacked it hard.

"I obviously am!" Dansheng Taniya Mori Xia shouted.

"Mori-sama said that love is everything!"

Sora Akiyama clearly saw that as soon as Tansheng Tani Mori Xia heard this, his face darkened.

What the hell are these two two crooked?

"If you want to see elves, you need an honest and pure heart!" Sanae continued without noticing Dansheng Taniya Mori Natsu's face, "As one of the few remaining magicians in the world, I am burdened with endless emptiness and sorrow for the sake of ......"

"Don'tβ€”" Dansheng Taniya Mori Xia screamed. With this scream, the world of delusion receded in a whirlwind, and Sora Akiyama returned to the bridge in reality.

"Shut up for me!" said Dansheng Taniya Senxia as he sat on the ground, covering his face and pleading.

"Yohehehehe, has your fallen mind really been purified by the holy words of Lord Mori?death!" Sanae crossed his hands on his hips and mocked, "You impostor." ”

"I don't want to hear itβ€”" Dansheng Tani Mori Xia buried his head even lower, "don't remind me of that!"

"Bah-he-he-hea......," Sanae sneered, and then turned to the birdie Yurokuka, "Master, Akamori took his leave first." ”

After Sanae left, Yuta Tomigashi said, "That...... It's getting late, it's time to go. ”

Dansheng Tani Senxia stood up silently, and didn't say goodbye, and walked straight past Akiyama Sora without even looking at him.

"Hi, is it Tomigashi-kun who lives on the second floor?" said Sora Akiyama.

Yuta Tomigashi looked over here, "Eh, are you...... The gentleman who lives on the fourth floor?"

I...... Why do you think you think of me as an uncle again? Akiyama didn't know what to say for a while.

"I don't know what to call it?"

"Sora Akiyama, you can call me by my name directly. Akiyama said in a word, "Well, when I saw it just now, I thought it was very familiar, and it was really the one who lived downstairs." I'll go first, so I won't bother you. ”

Hearing this, Yuta Tomigashi and Yuroka Kotori blushed, and at this time, Akiyama did not look back, and walked straight forward, leaving only a dashing back.

"I can't help but give myself a full score for this wave of pretense. Akiyama thought to himself, a smile on his lips.

Judging from the performance of the two of them at the onset of the disease, the functions of the brains of Yuta Tomigashi were above average, such as imagery, music, painting, spatial geometry, imagination, synthesis, intuitive thinking, and perceptual thinking. Even with the assistance of the [Galactic Federation]'s computer network, they were able to conceive a lot of rich details for such a fantasy world, which alone was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But...... These four people don't seem to notice this, have they taken their IQ to commit the second disease?

Akiyama walked unhurriedly, the cars around him came and went, and the river flowed endlessly, and the groups of headlamps and rear position lights formed a flickering river. But apart from him, no one else was aware of the battle in the illusory world, and no one knew about the otherworldly civilization [Galaxy Federation] hiding behind the scenes.
