A knock on the door made Halleyson, who was cleaning the room, stop what she was doing, her expression brightened slightly, and she walked much faster than usual, and when she came to the door, Halleyson also adjusted her skirt a little before opening the door.

"Welcome back to ......"

She stopped halfway through her words, for it was not the person she was waiting for standing outside the door.

"You should remember me, Victor Dodge, cop."

At the door, Sergeant Victor showed his police card with a somewhat bitter face.

He didn't have a good impression of alchemy dolls, but I don't know if it was because of the influence of Arsin Hercule, Sheriff Victor unconsciously used his attitude towards humans when facing Halleyson.

"Definitely."

Helletson regained his composure.

"Arsene Hercule's whereabouts are unknown now, I would like to ask, has he contacted you?"

Sheriff Victor's words silenced Halleyson.

"Nope."

Halleyson replied nonchalantly.

"The master said he would be back on time."

And so I added.

Sheriff Victor wanted to say something, but looking at the appearance of this alchemy puppet with soft blond hair and deep purple eyes, he decided not to talk more.

"So, if there is any news of him, please contact me."

He handed Halleyson a note with his contact information and left.

Walking downstairs, Sheriff Victor sighed.

"It's just an alchemy doll......

Upstairs, facing the closed door, Halleyson didn't move for a long time.

She didn't continue the work she hadn't done just now, as before, but sat on the sofa, next to the position where Bai Ge usually sat on weekdays, like a statue, until the sun fell, and she didn't stand up again.

...

...

In the evening, Bai Ge came to the door of the bar called "Bird of Paradise" again.

Dressed in the clothes common to young people in the city of New Macedonia, he walked into the bar.

The hall is lit up with rhythmic electronic music, and young men and women can be seen swaying on the dance floor, some sitting at tables with beer bottles in hand.

Bai Ge soon saw several young men gathered on the side, waiting around a bartender.

He leaned in.

"Don't be in a hurry, come one by one...... Well, are you new here? ”

When the bartender was maintaining order, he saw Bai Ge and asked.

"Yes, Andy introduced me."

Bai Ge replied.

"Andy, that guy....... You're at the back of the line. ”

The bartender didn't feel anything, so Bai Ge waited in the queue.

Bai Ge saw that the door behind the bartender would open every once in a while, and six men and women came out of it, these young people had intoxicated and indulgent expressions on their faces, their steps were vain, and their cheeks were red, as if they had used some kind of medicine.

Is this brainstorming?

Bai Ge felt more and more that this thing was a big problem.

He briefly recorded that the interval between these people coming and going was about twenty minutes, which is not very long, so it is estimated that hundreds of people can experience brainstorming in one night, and according to Andy, there are at least ten such bars that provide brainstorming in the South District alone.

This kind of entertainment from the city of New Constant is very attractive to young people, and at this pace, Bai Ge estimates that at least a third of the young people in New Macedonia have already tried brainstorming.

And there must be a lot of such cities in the Pan-Western Sea.

Although there doesn't seem to be any similar news from Greenwich, Bai Ge believes that there are not a few people over there who dare to try this novel thrill.

If there is really something wrong with this, it will affect the entire Pan-Western Sea.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Bai Ge was finally able to enter the mysterious little room.

The room was the size of a normal private room, and the bartender motioned for them to sit down on the couch, then pointed to a piece of equipment on the coffee table in the middle.

That's it?

When Bai Ge saw the equipment, he couldn't help but feel such a sigh in his heart.

The device was like a switch, with several red lights flashing and several headphones on the sockets.

"Put on the headphones, close your eyes, and I'll turn on the device in a minute."

The bartender said.

Bai Ge saw that there were three girls and two boys with him, the three girls seemed to know each other, judging from their dress, demeanor and conversation, they seemed to come from rich families, and they were not used to such occasions.

The other two boys seemed to be much more familiar, and one of them also dyed his pink hair, and in comparison, Bai Ge seemed to be much more normal.

The three girls seemed to be trying for the first time, and put on the headphones suspiciously, while the boy took a step slower and adjusted the length of the headphones before putting them on his head.

"Hurry up."

The bartender urged Bai Ge.

He put on the headphones, and the melodious sound of the piano came from the headphones, which had a certain reassuring power, which easily made Bai Ge enter a calm state.

He saw that everyone else had their eyes closed and let out an even breathing sound, and he himself closed his own eyes, and using [Assassin Vision] to see that the bartender pressed a switch on the device, and sat aside and picked up his phone in boredom.

With the press of the switch, Bai Ge could hear the music in the headphones change the tune and become more muffled.

At the same time, some kind of sleepiness hit Bai Ge's heart, causing him to quickly fall asleep.

But Bai Ge didn't fall asleep immediately, but quietly covered his consciousness with a [Personality Mask], causing him to fall asleep and enter a brainstorm, while his true consciousness monitored both sides.

"Bai Ge" soon felt that he was in a room similar to the real world.

There were many doors in the room, and Bai Ge opened one of them, and saw that the man with dyed pink hair was enjoying himself on the bed with three other girls.

The other party didn't realize Bai Ge's existence, and only indulged in it, revealing a happy expression.

"It seems that this is a complete release of the desire in my heart......"

Bai Ge confirmed.

Bai Ge closed the door and opened another one.

In this, it is one of the three girls, in reality she wears glasses and looks quiet and gentle, but now, in front of her are some people that Bai Ge has never seen, there are adults, and there are young people of the same age as her.

And this girl was holding a knife, stabbing it into the bodies of those people, admiring their painful expressions, listening to their begging for mercy and sorrow before their tragic deaths, and with an arrogant and wanton smile on her face, she didn't have the appearance of a gentle lady at all.

She also didn't notice Bai Ge.

"It seems that she is usually under a lot of pressure......"

Bai Ge came to such a conclusion.

He opened the door to another room.

On this side, another boy was sitting on a bench with the most beautiful of the three girls, snuggling and talking about love, looking innocent and innocent.

Just when Bai Ge sighed at the child's innocence, he saw a black van parked beside the two of them, and several dark-skinned strong men walked down from it, grabbed the girl and carried out the scene on the spot Bai Ge, a child who should not have seen it, and the boy was caught by another person, and could only watch it happen.

“...... This guy is really good at playing. ”

Bai Ge commented.

He opened another one, and the most beautiful girl was lying on the bed in a position that Bai Ge was not suitable for seeing as a child, her hands and feet were tied with black belts, and even her eyes were blindfolded.

And beside the bed, standing is Bai Ge, to be precise, Bai Ge who has changed his appearance.

Bai Ge was holding a short whip and constantly whipping the girl's body, and at the same time, the girl made a very comfortable sound.

“...... It's always a strange feeling to look at it like this......"

Bai Ge quickly closed the door.

The other two girls, one of whom is enjoying the service of three boys, and the other seems to have entered the scene of some ancient court TV series, and is experiencing adventure.

These are all delusions that people have on a daily basis.

Bai Ge could also feel that their consciousness was divided into several parts, experiencing different experiences.

"Is it a brainstorm, but it's actually a device that separates consciousness and strengthens it......

Visually, it's like a connected dream that allows people wearing headphones to meet in a dream.

But Bai Ge knew that normal dreams were actually a reflection of brain activity, and it was difficult to rely on consciousness to control, and there would be no other people's consciousness.

But this brainstorming machine, as if it can increase the power of human consciousness, can fully display all kinds of details, present scenes and characters as if they were real, and can also keep people awake.

In this case, the brainstorming is full of the deepest, most unknown desires of human beings.

Bai Ge had seen a movie from the old era before, in which humans had also created machines that could sneak into other people's dreams, and used this to implant consciousness in other people's minds.

If this machine had a similar function, it would be a big deal, and probably one in ten young people in the Pan Western Sea would have been affected.

However, after Bai Ge relied on the [Personality Mask] to maintain a more sober consciousness, he did not notice the movement of consciousness implantation.

Maybe it's really just a vent?

The pressure and unsatisfying desires that cannot be released on weekdays can be completely truly presented and soothed in this world, and whoever you change will sink into it.

Bai Ge saw that there was one last door, which was supposed to represent his room, and he opened it, and there was nothing inside.

If you let yourself go in this world, what kind of picture will you present?

Bai Ge suppressed his curiosity and carefully observed the surroundings.

The [Personality Mask] was especially useful in this kind of scene, and Bai Ge saw that in these rooms, there was a wisp of black dust-like things, spreading towards infinite heights.

"There's something wrong."

Bai Ge controlled himself and flew up, only to see that the black fog in these rooms was intertwined with the black fog from other infinity distances, converging into a crystal located in the sky.

Bai Ge came to the crystal and quickly felt the desire contained in it.

These desires come from people who have participated in brainstorming with him, these purest human desires and malice, and greedy collections Even Bai Ge, who is wearing a [Personality Mask], feels a chill when he looks at it.

It is clear that this crystal relies on brainstorming to draw human desires.

Is this how someone ascends to improve themselves?

Bai Ge's first reaction was like this, but soon, he found that the shape of this crystal was almost the same as that of the Sage Stone, and it was also engraved with complex circuits, as if it was a huge Sage Stone.

"Is it an alchemy puppet?"

Bai Ge was a little surprised.

Because in his opinion, the alchemy puppet's self-awakening consciousness should be just a scam, and the essence is a means for the Alexander consortium to create accidents.

But what about this Philosopher's Stone that is absorbing human desires?

Then again, what is the use of human desires for the Philosopher's Stone?

Bai Ge looked around carefully, and saw a string of inscriptions on this philosopher's stone.

"Pan Western Sea Academy of Natural Sciences".

In other words, this sage stone, the equipment for brainstorming, is actually a research project of the Pan-Western Sea Academy of Natural Sciences?

Is this part of a large-scale experiment?

Speaking of the Pan-Western Sea Academy of Natural Sciences, Bai Ge thought of Professor Alfred Theon and his granddaughter Nala, his research itself is also taboo, if the Sage Stone that absorbs human desires is also some kind of taboo research, then Bai Ge feels that the leading person behind this Academy of Natural Sciences seems to be planning a more massive conspiracy.

The twenty minutes in the brainstorm lasted for nearly three hours in his consciousness, and when Bai Ge "woke up", he saw that the two men were all happy, while the three girls were a little shy and their cheeks were crimson.

Obviously, releasing desire is a great experience for them.

Bai Ge also pretended to be very comfortable and left with the bartender.

Returning to the hotel he had booked in another capacity, Bai Ge thought for a moment and took out his mobile phone.

He had blocked most of the communication on his mobile phone, creating the illusion that his whereabouts were unknown, and then, Bai Ge opened the [Panda Council].

This app can be used even when the network is almost disconnected, and Bai Ge even suspects that he may be able to connect online even if he is on the wasteland, and chat with group friends.

Recently, it seems that because everyone is active in the liver, most of the daily speech revolves around games, and Bai Ge can't interject if he doesn't practice enough.

He only messaged the MI5 man, Coluva Shireen, last night, explaining his findings and plans for the next steps, and asking her to help take care of Halleyson.

He took a look and found that the [Lao Tzu's world's first cute] boss was still on the line with [No one knows faith better than me], so he chatted with each other privately.

[Goo-goo]: Big guy, have you had any time lately?

[Lao Tzu's first cutie in the world]: What did you find?

[Coo-goo]: Actually, it's like this, big guy, do you know about brainstorming?
