On the other side of the door is an unusually cold laboratory. From the doorway to the ground at the end, dozens of two-meter-high cylindrical glass tubes are placed, filled with a pale blue liquid. In silence, bubbles fell from top to bottom, quietly streaking across a human body.

The dozens of bodies were the real bodies of the townspeople, their eyes closed and their bodies suspended in glass tubes relaxed. They appear to be asleep, but the data on the glass tube shows that their brains are still active. And at the back of each of their necks, a black tube as thick as an arm can be seen embedded in their bodies.

Suddenly, a cloud of red light flowed out of the body along the black tube at the back of the neck, fell into the criss-crossed pipes on the ground, and surged into the depths of the laboratory.

Qiu Qiong couldn't help but be curious when she saw that the red light was flowing very strangely, but before she could ask a question, she heard Diligent answer: "That's their consciousness." Once the consciousness is active, it forms a red set of information that flows to the terminal control system. ”

Qiu Qiong was stunned and exclaimed, "Terminal control system? Mia?! ”

Mo Qingyan nodded to Qiu Qiong with a wry smile, then stepped over the pipe on the ground and led them to the center of the laboratory. All the red light eventually converges in a circular mechanical device in the center, which looks like the one that Lazy hides underground to "imprison" Mia, but in a smaller version.

At this time, Mia was sitting cross-legged, her hands resting naturally on her knees, and the sockets from the back of her neck to the top of her head were inserted with connecting wires pulled from the circular mechanism.

If there was anyone who was most surprised among them, it would be Fleur. Although she heard a lot about Mia after she woke up, she hadn't seen Mia after being transformed with her own eyes, nor had she seen Mia process data. So, when she saw the socket devices on Mia's head, which had become one with the flesh and blood, her back was cold, and she couldn't help but shiver.

After seeing this, the diligence beside Fleur immediately raised his hand to caress her back. A burst of warmth came, and Fleur's frightened eyes gradually regained their calm.

Qiu Qiong's heart tightened, she moved two steps out, stood beside Mo Qingyan, and after slowly exhaling a breath, she asked casually: "Mo Qingyan, there are only dozens of people here, where did the others go?" ”

Mo Qingyan raised his hands, shook his head slightly, and replied: "The people in this room are all people with serious changes in the consciousness structure, and the rest of the people are still in the lazy basement. ”

"What is Mia doing? Are you dealing with the awareness data of the townspeople? ”

"No, she's trying to regulate the consciousness data of each of them at the moment, trying to block out the information sent by the part of the consciousness structure mutation."

Qiu Qiong blinked quickly, stared at Mo Qingyan with a frown, and whispered, "Can you speak human words?" ”

Mo Qingyan chuckled: "Ha! The word is, Mia is trying to restore the structure of their consciousness to its original state. ”

"Oh, I get it when you say that! But isn't it going well......"

After all, androids are bodies created by intelligent machines, and although they look the same as human bodies on the outside, the structure and mechanisms inside them are completely different. If the transplanted consciousness retains its original characteristics, it will not be able to survive and control the body at all. Therefore, they can only adapt to this strange body if they mutate.

The mutation of consciousness is not artificial. Lazy hadn't been aware of this before, and after the transfer of consciousness, he only discovered that there would be a period of rejection in the android's body, and after the rejection period had passed, the consciousness could perfectly control the new body. And all this is as if consciousness itself is the work of itself.

Consciousness is probably the most tenacious thing in vitality.

Hearing Qiu Qiong say this, Mo Qingyan's face instantly became solemn and unconcealed. He knew in his heart that the mutation of the consciousness structure was irreversible, especially as time went on, it would only become more complicated, and Mia only tried to block out the mutated part, so that the consciousness thought that it had not changed and could return to the body safely. But now it seems that the results are not very promising.

At this moment, Mia's expression suddenly became extremely painful, and then her whole body trembled violently. Mo Qingyan was suddenly startled, and hurriedly ran to Mia's side and pulled out all the connecting wires on his head. Mia glanced at Mo Qingyan tiredly, and then collapsed into his arms with a weak body.

Mo Qingyan stroked Mia's cheek with one hand, and called out worriedly and anxiously: "Mia! Mia! ”

Qinqin also hurriedly ran over, lifted Mia's feet, and carried Mia out of the laboratory with Mo Qingyan to the lounge next door. This lounge is specially prepared for them to prevent this kind of emergency, and it has a bed and sofa, drinking water, medical medicine, and it is simply a shelter.

As soon as they placed Mia firmly on the bed, two barriers rose at the head and foot of the bed, and quickly closed in the middle of the bed. Immediately after, a puff of white gas was released from inside, drowning Mia's entire body.

It turns out that this is not an ordinary bed, but a therapeutic machine, an intelligent machine that can regenerate cells, promote the metabolism of the human body, rejuvenate people, and drive away diseases.

At this time, Qiu Qiong and Fu Yuan stood together, and their hearts were extremely nervous. And Mo Qingyan caressed the barrier with one hand, and looked inside with a particularly sad gaze. Seeing this scene, Qin Qin suddenly regretted it, and he felt that he should not have bothered them at that time.

After thinking about it diligently, he said sadly: "Brother Mo, I'm sorry, it's all my ......"

Mo Qingyan frowned slightly, shook his head, and choked up: "When I saw her again, I was very happy, and I felt that the days that were all gloomy had finally passed. However, it soon became clear to me that there was no way to go back to the way our days were. Because the consciousness of the townsfolk has always bothered her, even though she is now free from the shackles of laziness, she still has to process their consciousness information. ”

"If she doesn't, no one in the town will survive. Sometimes, she would suddenly hear a voice and think I was talking to her. Actually, no, it was just someone else's words that had been transmitted to her device. Watching you return to your normal life one by one and reunite with your families, she really hopes so. Oh, she said, she just wants to hear my voice, she just wants to be with me quietly, but why is this desire so difficult? ”

"Diligent, I was really upset when you came to us. I also persuaded her, saying that since this is suddenly irreversible, it is useless for her to try. But watching her be troubled by those messages day and night, I hope that a miracle will happen, and I think that if I really find a way to solve the problem of structural mutation, let them all return to their bodies. So isn't Mia free? ”

"But I can see now that this problem cannot be solved. No matter how much time we spend and no matter how much effort we put in, we can't go back! It's all to blame for that laziness! Seriously, I hate that lazy person so much that I want to strangle him with my own hands! He left behind this bunch of irreparable consequences and just disappeared?! How can he sit idly by and ignore nothing?! ”

Diligence and Fleur glanced at each other, both pursed their lips, and were suddenly speechless. Seeing their reaction, Mo Qingyan shouted repeatedly: "Diligence, captain, do you know where he is?!" ”

"Brother Mo, we ......"

"Diligence! Tell me where he is now! I want him to pay for what he did! ”

Seeing that Mo Qingyan was hard to be diligent, Fu Yuan's demeanor immediately changed back to the captain with a frosty face, and shouted: "Old Mo, calm down!" ”

"Calm down? Everyone has returned to normal life, but Mia and I will never go back! Tell me how to calm down! She is my only family! Experiencing so much pain every day, who can endure it! ”

Diligent put a hand on Mo Qingyan's shoulder and sighed: "Brother Mo, I can understand your feelings. But I can't let you see Lazy right now, he needs to recuperate. ”

Mo Qingyan looked at Qin Qin in horror, took two steps back, broke free of his hand, and said coldly: "You guys lock him up and don't let the people who want revenge and anger find him." Are you protecting a heinous person? ”

Diligent sighed helplessly and replied, "I know." But even though he did a lot of things wrong, he ...... It's my family, after all...... I can't let people hurt him. ”

"Family. What a family. ”

At that moment, the healing machine ceased to function, and the two barriers parted and retreated to the head and foot of the bed.

Mo Qingyan immediately squatted down, grabbed Mia's hand, and shouted nervously: "Mia! Mia! How do you feel? ”

Mia slowly opened her eyes, looked at Mo Qingyan in a trance, the corners of her mouth barely rose, and she said weakly: "Qingyan, don't blame them, it's all my own reason, and it has nothing to do with them." ”

Mo Qingyan held back tears and said, "Mia, don't say it, you did your best." ”

Mia propped up the bed with one hand and struggled to sit up. She glanced around and was a little surprised to see so many people around. But the surprise in his eyes soon faded, and gradually replaced it with gloomy sorrow.

Diligent frowned tightly and asked slowly, "Sister Mia, did you see something in their consciousness?" ”

Mia nodded palely and replied quietly, "Not bad." It was the first time I tried to get in touch with their consciousness, and I managed to get in. But soon, I was kicked out by something. ”

"What?!"

"Subconscious. Before I could figure out what was going on, I was pushed out by their subconscious forces. I don't know exactly when I was found. But judging from the subconscious actions, it doesn't seem to want me to get close, and it doesn't want to be modified by me. ”

"That is, their subconscious is protecting them from returning to the physical body?" Diligent was shocked.
