"Why is that?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he said to himself thoughtfully: "Could it be that it has something to do with the chip itself?" ”

"The chip itself?" Zhou Xin's words reminded Dart of something, and he said, "Have you noticed that the Norzans react strangely when answering questions about chips? ”

"Reaction? Sort of, indeed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhou Xin also recalled Fergtan's unusual answer when he was in the chip production department in the morning, "Especially when I asked who invented the chip at that time, Fergtan reacted at that time - a little familiar. It seemed to be and—" He thought for a moment before he connected this incident to another, "well—almost exactly the same as Fergelan's reaction when he had answered what was out of the sky. ”

"By the way, did he say who the person with the Rimming chip was?" Ralph asked, "Why didn't I hear it clearly?" ”

This question made everyone present look blank, and they thought about it for a moment, and then shook their heads in unison.

"Didn't anyone hear it? Uncle Ship, you too? ”

"It really doesn't seem to be heard." Zhou Xin also nodded with a little confusion.

"Is there a recording?" Dart asked, "If anything, wouldn't we be sure by listening to the recording?" ”

Fortunately, the translator itself has a recording function, in order to avoid errors when translating instantly. It took some time for Zhou Xin to find the conversation in the morning in the translator on his body.

After listening to it once, Zhou Xin shook his head, "Did you hear that?" I didn't seem to hear Fergtan say anything. To confirm this, he slowed down the conversation again.

By this time, almost everyone heard it clearly, and Dart confirmed: "There was a pause at the moment when Fergtan said his name, which gave us the illusion that he had said something, but he didn't say anything at the time." Then he added, "And, I don't know if you've noticed, Fergtan said it in a very strange tone, and it sounded completely different from his usual one. ”

"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, "It feels very mechanical, it doesn't sound like he's answering himself, but more like he's retelling some kind of record." ”

"Not only when answering that question, but later when you asked to observe the process of chip implantation, Fergtan reacted like this." At this time, Dart also remembered, "As you said, the answer is very mechanical and rigid, and even rejection is not like a person's real reaction. Soon he added, "And when he introduced the production and implantation steps of the chip, was the reaction at that time also very abnormal?" ”

"You say, could this be a side effect of the implantation of the chip?" Ralph guessed, "Although the influence of the chip on the personality is slowly decreasing in the cultivation of the acquired culture, this personality still manifests itself from time to time in daily life?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." After thinking for a while, Zhou Xin shook his head solemnly, "If it's just a simple character flaw, then Fergtan should be able to show abnormalities at any time when communicating with us." But have you noticed that during this period of communication with Fergtan, under normal circumstances, his reaction is very normal? But as soon as I asked some of the core questions about the chips in the Norsan's brains, his reaction started to get very strange. It's the same as when I was discussing the universe with his father. ”

"So you think that their reaction is not random, but related to the topic of discussion?" Dart asked, "Once you get to some key topics, how do they react?" ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "At least that's what I think now, but I'm not sure if this is a special case for a few people or a common phenomenon." ”

"Whether it's a common phenomenon or not, just give it a try." Ralph continued, "Isn't it now possible to determine that the two topics of the universe and chips could cause anomalous reactions?" Didn't we know so many government officials yesterday? We'll find an opportunity to talk to them in the afternoon. ”

"That's a way to do it." Zhou Xin nodded.

"It's too slow to act together." Ralph's interest has been raised by the topic just discussed, "Anyway, I met them yesterday, let's go our separate ways and try to ask more people." With that, she couldn't wait to drag Christy out with her.

Looking at his back, Zhou Xin shook his head, and then he said to Dart: "Let's go, let's go out and ask too." ”

When everyone gathered in Zhou Xin's room again, it was already evening. Zhou Xin was the last to come back, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Ralph, who had been tired from an afternoon, lying on the sofa in the hall.

Seeing his figure, Ralph, who was lying on his stomach, rushed to tell Zhou Xin what he found in the afternoon, "Uncle Captain, you guessed right, I communicated with more than a dozen people here this afternoon. At first our conversation was normal, but when I mentioned the universe or the chips, they reacted strangely. Well, it's the same reaction as Fergtan when he answered the same question. ”

"I had a similar situation in the afternoon." Dart subsequently and others subsequently reported the same results.

"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, "My result here is the same." In the course of the questioning, I even asked them other confidential questions, such as the military strength of the Norsan civilization, the method of making weapons, and even the current location of the leader. But they are able to speak outright about what we consider to be confidential questions, but their reactions are unusual when asked about the universe and chips. ”

"Is that weird? Why do they react so well at other times, when they don't behave properly on these two topics alone? Dart asked, puzzled, "What is the reason for this?" ”

"I've been thinking about why this afternoon." Hearing Dart's question, Zhou Xin's brows furrowed, "Although we can't come up with an accurate answer yet, I think that since one of the problems that can cause them to behave abnormally is related to the chip, could the reason for their abnormal reaction also be related to the chip in their brain......?" ”
