Chapter 7: The Mysterious Organization
The world fell silent in an instant.
3 seconds ...... 5 seconds...... 7 sec......
The pain of being torn did not come for a long time, and even the oppressive feeling under the water suddenly disappeared.
Ye Yu, who had reached the limit, took a breath suddenly, but found that ...... I can breathe normally!?
Ye Yu slowly opened his eyes, there was no water, no sharks, no hemp rope, and he was leaning on a leather chair. What I saw in front of me was an ordinary lounge, and a familiar back.
"Welcome back." The back slowly turned around, and a pair of dark eyes looked at Ye Yu with a smile. "I heard you're looking for me?"
"The surname is Lou!!" Ye Yu instantly became excited, and wanted to stand up but found that he couldn't use his strength, so he sat back on the leather chair.
With a white and delicate face, calm eyes, and the black uniform, the man in front of him was the building chief.
"Hahaha, Lou Yue, it seems that this kid treats you as an enemy." A woman's voice came from the side, and when Ye Yu saw it, it turned out to be Sister Mu, who was leaning against the wall, covering her mouth and smiling, looking gloating.
"I'm sorry for this unpleasant experience." Lou Yue ignored Sister Mu's ridicule, "But please believe me, I have no malicious intent." ”
What's going on?! Is it really this person's ghost!
Ye Yuqiang resisted the urge to punch him in the face, gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better explain it to me!" ”
"What you just saw was virtual reality." Lou Yue dragged a chair from the side and sat down in front of Ye Yu, "In other words, we used some methods to make you think that you are in the scene we designed. ”
"Virtual reality? In other words, everything was fake!? How can it be! Ye Yu clearly remembered the feeling of oppression underwater, the pain of being tied up in his hands and feet, and the whispers in the rabbit girl's ear, which were extremely real.
"Don't believe me, you can look at the current time." Sister Mu chuckled on the side.
Ye Yu hurriedly looked at his watch, and it was ten forty-five in the evening.
He arrived at the bar at ten o'clock in the evening, and he drank and chatted with Sister Mu for about fifteen minutes, which means that it has only been half an hour since he lost consciousness?
Then he saw that he was still wearing his original clothes, and he was not shirtless, and his clothes were dry.
"This ...... What the hell is this ......" Ye Yu couldn't understand at all.
"Do you know how people perceive the world?" Lou Yue did not answer Ye Yu directly, but threw out a question.
"Isn't it just the body's senses?" Ye Yu was a little inexplicable.
"It's understandable. The reason why we can "see" the world is because our eyes receive the reflected light from the external scene; The reason why you can "hear" sound is because your ears receive sound waves. Our various body organs act as signal receivers, and they communicate the various signals they receive to the brain, so that our brain reflects the world. ”
"But what if I cut off this signal halfway?" Lou Yue suddenly changed his words.
"What do you mean?"
"If I cut off all the real-world signals and directly convey some specific signals to all your senses, for example, the reflected light that your eyes receive is arranged by me; The sound waves that the ears hear are specified by me; The sensory signals received by the touch cells in my body are under my control...... So can you say that the world reflected in your mind is what I made? “
"This ......," Ye Yu said, "this kind of thing...... Can it really be done? ”
"Hehe, the real technological development of this world is always far beyond the people's understanding. This technology not only exists, but has evolved over several generations. Lou Yue stood up and approached Ye Yu, "Now, with just a small controller, it can be realized." ”
I saw him reach out and take off a chain around Ye Yu's neck. It was a silver necklace with a metal ring strung on it, like a ring. "This is the source of the 'illusion' you just had, we temporarily isolate your senses through this controller, and convey the signals of those scenes to you, so that those scenes will be vividly presented in your mind, as if you were there."
"Of course, if you suddenly 'switch' to the real world, this abruptness will immediately make you realize that something is wrong, which is why we need that glass of wine to make you unconscious for a while." Lou Yue handed the metal ring to Sister Mu on the side and sat back in the chair.
Ye Yu was speechless in surprise, these were completely beyond his cognition, but what made him even more dumbfounded was the next other party's narrative.
"In fact, the human brain is very powerful, it is not only a terminal that receives and processes signals, but also controls other things with the brainwaves it emits when it is active. However, in general, the human brainwave signal is very weak, and today's technology only reads the activity of the brainwave and controls it in disguise through machinery and equipment. ”
In this case, we might as well think a little deeper, if a person's brain waves are strong enough to be free of machine assistance, and even directly invade the brains of others, then it is also possible for them to perceive the activity of other people's brains or intervene in them. Human memory is a type of brain activity. ”
"That means ...... He can read other people's memories?! Ye Yu blurted out, and he suddenly remembered what the rabbit girl said to him in the previous 'illusion', "How is this possible! ”
"It's not just 'read', it's theoretically possible to 'write' or even 'erase', just like you would with a computer's storage media." Lou Yue said lightly. "Of course, it's a very big load on the brain, especially the last two."
The human brain has always been the ultimate barrier to the preservation of individuals, and it is also the basis for people's sense of security...... I can't imagine it! Ye Yu couldn't help but start to break out in a cold sweat.
"Is there really anyone in the world whose brainwaves are so powerful?!"
"Of course ordinary humans can't do it, otherwise the world would have been in chaos." Lou Yue chuckled, but then said, "But...... If there is an 'amplifier' that can enhance these brain waves, it is a different story. ”
"Amplifier?"
"Yes, for example...... This 'Blood Keystone'. As he spoke, Lou Yue gently turned his bracelet, and a virtual display screen appeared in front of Ye Yu, and a dynamic image of a blood-red stone the size of a thumb was reflected on the screen, and the surface of the stone was overflowing with a strange multicolored luster.
Ye Yu's eyes widened, isn't this the one he saw in the "Illusion"!
"This stone is the only known substance that can superimposely amplify human brain waves, and it does not exist on this planet in the first place."
"You mean...... From space?! ”
"That's right. It was brought by a meteorite. Lou Yue put away the virtual screen, "Ten years ago, a group of tomb robbers found them in an ancient tomb, judging from the mural records in the tomb, they are the remains left by a meteorite rain that fell in our country more than 1,700 years ago, and at that time as a treasure from the sky by the local nobles made into jewelry, and buried with other burial goods. ”
"Wait, you say 'them'? Could it be that there is more than one such stone found in the tomb? ”
"Yes, seven pieces of jewelry made of this stone were found, which were divided up by the tomb robbers. However, they only discovered the strangeness of this stone by chance, and there is no doubt that this stone is of immeasurable value, and they set off a series of bloody storms in order to rob each other. Later, the state stepped in and began to do its best to recover the Blood Keystone. ”
Once the stone that can control the memory of others falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives, I am afraid that it will turn into a disaster, and it is no wonder that the state will act decisively.
"Fortunately, the people who know the secret of the Blood Keystone are still under control, and the state has successfully recovered four of the seven, however, the remaining three are as if they have disappeared and cannot be found. Some say that it may have been exiled abroad, or it may be ...... Hidden by people or organizations with ulterior motives. But either way, this will bring great hidden dangers to national security. Due to the stakes, the state decided to recover the remaining three Bloodkeystones at any cost, and a special organization was formed. ”
"The Special Investigation Bureau ......," Ye Yu said, "You are the special organization that tracks down this kind of Blood Keystone, right?" ”
Lou Yue nodded lightly, "I'm Lou Yue, the director of the Eastern District of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, and next to me is Mu Yun, our senior investigator." Externally, we claim to be an investigative auxiliary, but in reality, tracking down the whereabouts of the Bloodkeystone and recovering it is our main task at the moment. ”
A secret investigative agency...... Indeed, because of the particularity of the Blood Keystone, this kind of thing cannot be searched with great fanfare.
"But you still haven't told me why you're doing these things to me, what does all this have to do with me?" Although he knew the origin of the other party, when he thought that these people had played him like a monkey before, Ye Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"That's a test, to prove your innocence." Lou Yue raised her eyes and looked directly at Ye Yu, a hint of fierceness flashed in her dark eyes, "The beginning of everything is the photo taken on the night of Chen Yan's accident. ”
