The professor stood up, pipe in hand, and paced back and forth in the cramped laboratory.

"In order for an organization to maintain a high degree of cohesion, it must have faith and thought, and every member must have a sense of mission, which is generally the case for successful organizations in history, and those organizations formed by the temptation of profit and the pressure of power will soon disappear. But you're different—"

The professor turned around and stood still looking at Huang Liang, "As far as I know, although you are centralized, your rule is not brutal; You have a lot of wealth, but you don't use it to drive your members to do things. Your members are all consciously willing and have unimaginable dedication, just like you, who can commit crimes, go to jail, and sacrifice everything, including life, for the sake of the organization.

From this point of view, you must have lofty beliefs, dreams in your hearts, and a mission on your shoulders, so that you can forge ahead despite everything. But the problem is, you don't seem to have any! Nothing! You don't even know who you are, why you're listening to them, you may not even know who you're listening to, but you've been doing it, have you ever thought about why that's happening? ”

Although the cold of the Canadian winter does not invade the underground laboratory, Huang Liang felt chills all over his body, and the heating in the laboratory seemed to be turned on a little too much, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from his back, sticking to his underwear, making him uncomfortable.

Mei Yiqiu almost asked all the questions he had been asking for the past year, and from the perspective and height of a professor, he analyzed it more thoroughly than he had thought about in the past.

"I've thought about it, but I can't think of why." He said.

Mei Yiqiu said: "Well, then let me ask you, is there a feeling that someone is manipulating your consciousness?" It's like...... Like the brachiopods of the octopus, there is a tentacle that reaches out from an unknown place and reaches into your brain to exert influence on your consciousness? ”

Huang Liang was stunned.

He stood still, barely moving. He knew that as long as he moved at this moment, he would definitely tremble a little, which was a state he never wanted to show in front of people.

So, he held back and said, like a ninja, "Please make it clearer, professor." ”

The professor said: "Actually, I am just a little guess, there is nothing to say, everything is up to you to find the answer." That's why I'm looking for you, because your answer is probably the answer I want to know, and it's about the fate of humanity. If there really is a super octopus that controls brachiopods like yours to encroach on a small world like humans, what is his purpose? ”

Huang Liang slowly calmed down, knowing that he would not get an answer today. He bowed gratefully to the professor and said, "Thank you, Professor May, for your words that have made me pause and removed many of my worries. If I find the answer, I'll definitely tell you. ”

Mei Yiqiu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, that day will come." He added, "Don't take it too seriously, but keep your usual caution, although the octopus's brain may not know what is going on with the wrists and feet, but it is better to be careful." ”

"I know." Huang Liang nodded solemnly, closed his eyes to calm down for a while, and then sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Professor, you just said that you want to reassess the strength of the 'parties', who else are you talking about besides us?" ”

"It's probably more complicated than you think." "I'll try to keep it as simple as possible. This Mrs. Situ," he pointed at Situ Yuli with his pipe, "she used to work in Laboratory 19 under LBNL, which is a very mysterious laboratory, and we still don't know who founded it and how many experiments have been carried out beyond human imagination. One of those items is the body chip, yes, the one you touch in Charlie's neck. ”

Then, Mei Yiqiu told Huang Liang about Laboratory 19 and the Internet's independent consciousness without concealment.

Huang Liang was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time to ease up and say: "This world is really much more complicated than I know!" He remembered the GHOST on his phone, and now he could confirm some of his previous speculations, only the truth was a little more bizarre than he thought.

"Does the organization know that Internet awareness exists?" He suddenly thought of this question.

"There's a good chance that the top of your organization should know." "I've even speculated in the past that Internet consciousness is the source of parasitic consciousness, or is it one of your parasitic targets? But then I dismissed the idea. By all indications, the Internet is swinging, or that it has its own purpose. But one thing is for sure, he knows more than we do, and all the information transmitted through the Internet will become his memory. ”

Huang Liang gasped and said, "Sounds terrible indeed!" ”

"It's scary, who's behind the project, who is the founder of Lab 19, and who terminated the project and killed all the researchers and subjects?"

"Now that the project has been terminated, what is Mr. Dickinson going to ......?"

"The one around Charlie's neck was implanted in us not long ago. The chip was obtained by Aoki, the exact details of which we don't know, but as long as the subjects are still alive, it is likely that the project has not been terminated, but has been moved to a more secret place. ”

Huang Liang felt a little headache, knowing so many things at once, he needed time to digest. He said, "Professor, thank you for your trust, I have told me so much, and I will keep my promise, and if I get the answer I want, I will tell you as soon as possible." But now, what can I do for you? You didn't call me just to tell me this, did you? ”

"Of course not." "Charlie has been working on this subject, so after getting the chip, he decided to give it a try. It was the first time we had such an operation, and we didn't know much about the principle of the chip, but we just connected it to 24 of the 31 pairs of spinal nerves. We hadn't found a chip and an internet connection, and Charlie wasn't very comfortable, so I thought of using acupuncture to stimulate it, but we didn't have a reliable doctor who knew both acupuncture and arteriatry. ”

"So I delivered it to the door?" Huang Liang laughed.

Mei Yiqiu said: "It's not a door-to-door delivery, it's not the main purpose, it's incidental." ”

"By the way? So what is the main purpose? ”

"Your organization sent you to North America for William Wolfe, right?"

"Yes before."

"That's right. They were supposed to let you come directly to Vancouver, but they sent you to Los Angeles. I think their target is probably me, and if they get closer to Wolf through me, it will be natural. Of course, they may also have other purposes. Anyway, since we want to meet, it's better to take the initiative, I don't want to get injured or something, and then be accidentally rescued by you, the kind of bridge that is only in the movie is too risky. ”

"So you asked your assistant to find me. But I still don't understand, how do you know where I am? ”

"It's not hard. You have a GHOST on your phone, right? It knows where you are. In addition, Los Angeles is the territory of the Wolf family, and every movement of grass and trees here cannot escape their eyes. Of course, I didn't take the initiative to find you, but I just took the initiative a little bit according to the intention of your organization, which is called 'following the trend'! ”

Huang Liang took out his mobile phone and glanced at it: "So, the 'Internet' has been staring at me?" ”

"You can't say staring, if you don't send a message to GHOST, it just knows where you are." Mei Yiqiu said.

"Shouldn't I delete this?"

"It's not necessary. Theoretically, as long as we have a mobile phone, the whereabouts of all of us, the brain of the 'Internet' is clear. As for this GHOST, I don't know how Aoki does it, it's more special......"

Mei Yiqiu's expression suddenly became a little strange, like a mischievous old urchin, "You can try to be friends with it, because ...... It's a bit like you! ”
