As for the reasons why Captain Gaston betrayed Ashur, Chen Yan thought about many things. But these were overturned by her one by one. Captain Gaston was of average status in Asher, and according to his friends, the man had no unspeakable ambition or special hobbies, but was extremely disgusted with the Red Brigade and the like...... It's the kind of person who seems to be the least likely to betray.

Until the results of the interrogation of the military department came out. The reason was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Gaston is a synth, and his whole body is cloned," Lance explains, "but one thing is true. ”

"What?"

"Brain. ”

"How do you know that his brain is real? That is, his brain is his own and his body is cloned?" Chen Yan felt that this was unbelievable, and now it is easy to clone a person, but there are moral and legal restrictions on this. Therefore, Asher has always strictly forbidden the cloning of human bodies. The Red Brigade doesn't have that many restrictions, it has made a lot of clones.

But its leader, Seth, is said to have a strange aversion to clones. So the clones of the Red Brigade are actually rare, almost none.

"Because we interrogated his brain. After Captain Gaston was kidnapped by the Red Brigades, he did not betray Asher. Later, when his body was tortured to the point where it could not be used, they took out his brain and physically isolated the memory area. Give a mission command to his brain. Therefore he will attack us. ”

Chen Yan's hands and feet were cold when he heard this. Thinking of the possible pain that Captain Gaston had suffered—how cruelly he had been treated with his body destroyed beyond use.

"Then Captain Gaston isn't a betrayal, is he...... Has his brain recovered now, and what are you going to do with him?"

"Of course not. However, he can no longer be counted as a physical 'person' because only the brain is his own. Lance whispered. In fact, what he didn't say was that as soon as Captain Gaston was brought back, his brain was taken out. This is a common method of torture by the military, especially for these people who have no effect. Keeping the body will get in the way, and you have to beware of this person's escape at any time

That's why they were able to find out that the brain was physically isolated.

"It's okay to have a brain, everything else can be recreated......" Chen Yan said this, and also stopped. What she could think of, Lance could think of too.

Asher strictly forbids human cloning, and Captain Gaston is in an awkward position. If his brain wants to survive, it must either be put into a body or placed in a petri dish to be fed by the outside world forever. The former is difficult to achieve, and the latter can be imagined how painful it will be.

"I ...... I want to see him, is that okay?" Chen Yan finally couldn't help but say, she wanted to at least comfort him. Captain Gaston had also given their technical lessons before, and they at least had a teacher-student friendship.

Lance nodded, "You're also one of the people on the mission, of course you can go." It's just that I hope you don't have too many mood swings after you see it. ”

Chen Yan remembered that the last time she came to the military headquarters, she was called by a message from Major Egger, and she was very apprehensive at that time. But in just one month, when I came here again, I didn't feel that way anymore.

The military headquarters is still full of people, and those in uniform still look hurried. But Chen Yan magically felt that their expressionless faces were due to haste, not indifference or contempt.

She suddenly tilted her head and said to Lance, "Colonel, I think this place is different from the last time I came. ”

Lance heard and turned his face to look at her. From Chen Yan's angle, you can just see his side face, and the corners of his mouth that can't be concealed, "Because you have become strong." ”

The last time she was here, she was an F-class technologist working on a dispensable project, and now she's able to subconsciously trap and kill intruders, resist intruders in the first place, and independently study the brainwave generator of a behemoth.

Chen Yan is like a ship that has been pushed to the wind by successive huge waves, not only was it not smashed to pieces, but it also broke through the waves to break a new world.

Lance took her directly to the interrogation room.

It was not the gloomy and cold that Chen Yan imagined, on the contrary, it looked like the tone was relatively warm, but the rows of petri dishes of the brain placed against the wall ruined the beauty.

Of the many cold glass containers, only one holds a human brain. There is a terminal connected to it.

Major Egger was there, too, and he was watching for something, when he heard them come in before turning around. When he saw Chen Yan, he was stunned for a moment, and happily stretched out his right hand, "Warrant Officer Chen Yan, you are more beautiful than the last time I saw you." ”

Chen Yan shook his hand and rolled his eyes in his heart, "Major Egger, you also seem to be more handsome than the last time I saw you. ”

The word "it seems" was paused heavily by her, and in Chen Yan's memory, she was confused when she was frozen by the side effects of the freezing gun, and she didn't remember that Major Egger was also there.

Iger laughed happily at Chen Yan's blatant provocation, and glanced at Lance, only to find that the man was looking at Chen Yan with a proud gaze.

He decided that he couldn't contribute to this bad atmosphere of ostentation, so he twisted the wind in a skewed direction, "This is Captain Gaston's brain." We've learned the truth, but unfortunately, he's probably going to be like this in the future. ”

Chen Yan looked at the brain inside this petri dish and felt very sad. "Can I communicate with him?"

"Of course," Major Egger nodded, "but we'll monitor the communication. ”

"Understood", Chen Yan took the terminal, nodded at Major Egger, and then put on the calibration.

"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Chen Yan. The familiar voice came, and Chen Yan could close his eyes and remember the scene when Captain Gaston gave them a lesson, he was very knowledgeable, and they were very fond of listening to his lectures.

"Yes, Captain. I've listened to your lessons. ”

"Time flies, I've always felt that I can teach you lessons like this. There will be no chance in the future. ”

"Captain ......"

"I want to thank you for helping me get out of it. After being transplanted into this body, I remember everything, but I can't control my body. Now, it's finally easy. ”

"Captain, I hope you survive. Maybe one day, Asher can pass the cloning bill and you will be able to have your body again. ”

"No, kid - allow me to call you that, in my eyes, you are all my students - I know very well that Asher would not pass such a bill, and from the bottom of my heart I don't want Asher to do so. Chen Yan, I remember you used the Freezer Gun, but you weren't harmed by its side effects, right?"

"Yes, Captain, I've improved it, and it doesn't have any side effects anymore. ”

"Good. The Cryo Gun has been developed for many years, but you were the first to improve it, and you were the first Tech to accompany a Special Missions unit. Chen Yan, I believe you will go further. ”

"Captain", Chen Yan couldn't help but choke up a little, "You can too." ”

"I'm tired, Chen Yan. I want to be able to leave quietly. Before that, everything I knew had been told to Major Egger. My mission has been accomplished. ”

Exiting the terminal with a heavy heart, she conveyed Captain Gaston's meaning to the two commanders. Unsurprisingly, Major Iger personally checked it again and removed the terminal, "If there are no accidents, Captain Gaston hopes to be able to leave in three days." ”

"If you can't help him, then at least respect him". On the way back to the laboratory, Chen Yan had been sullen, and Lance suddenly said.

"Well, I know, it's just a little sad", Chen Yan nodded, pulling his thoughts back to the study, "Colonel, I still need some information about the giant beast's brainwave generator. ”

She straightened out her thoughts and said, "Now since there is only one type of giant beast brain, when it is necessary to communicate with other types of giant beasts, the brain wave frequency needs to be calibrated on the spot. I need as many types of monster brains as I can, collect their brainwaves, and also get more ways for the monsters to communicate with each other. ”

Lance nodded, "No problem. You hand over a report to the Academy of Sciences, and we will help you complete the specific collection task. ”

Although she had known that Colonel Lance would agree, she couldn't help but ask, "Colonel, I always feel that you are too lenient with me. It seems that no matter what I do, I will support it. ”

Seeing her serious appearance, Lance always felt very similar to Liangchen's tilted head, so he couldn't help it, and touched her head, "Yes, as long as you want it, I will help you." "Because you're so unique.

The eyes were scorching and hot, and Chen Yan's eyes were hot, but he couldn't bear to look away like a person in a snowstorm seeing the firelight.

After a long time, Chen Yan grinned, and he didn't even close it in the morning. She first wrote a detailed report, setting out the reasons and purposes of what she had just said, and handed it over to Brigadier General Lauren. Then he put on the terminal, intending to continue collecting brainwave samples of the behemoth.

Lance has been quietly on the sidelines, taking care of things every now and then. When Chen Yan put on the terminal, he also immediately took a terminal and put it on.

Chen Yan looked at him suspiciously, "Colonel Lance? ”

Lance shook his head, "A Level 4 classified project that requires a regulator to protect your brain. From now on, anytime you connect to the terminal, you need to be by my side. ”

Well, she didn't expect the security measures of the Level 4 classified project to be so tight. In fact, someone is just faking public and private interests, and it is up to him to decide when the regulator needs to enter the terminal protection.

This kind of work continued until lunchtime, and Chen Yan finally felt a trace of embarrassment.
