"Xiaoxue...... Do you mean your wife Zhao Xue? Ye Yu was puzzled. As far as I know, she is not dead at all, so how can she be 'born again'? ”

"You know what!" Wu Xuebing glared at Ye Yu fiercely. "I have been lying in bed for seven years, I don't know what to do, I can only rely on machines to support my life, what is the difference between this state and death!"

Ye Yu was speechless for a while.

"In the past seven years, I have done the best treatment for her, and even helped the group of fools in the 'Holy Face Society' to launder money in order to support the high medical expenses, and did so many unseemly things for Chen Yan...... But what about the result!? Xiaoxue's physical condition is still deteriorating, especially in the past two years...... If she continues like this, she won't live long at all! Wu Xuebing's body trembled slightly, and an expression of pain and confusion appeared on his face.

"Huh...... Maybe God took pity on me, one day suddenly a woman came to me and said that there was a way to let Xiaoxue get a 'new life', through a special method ......" Wu Xuebing's tone was meaningful.

"...... special method?"

The corners of Wu Xuebing's mouth hooked up a sneer, and suddenly threw out an inconsequential question: "Do you know how the individual of people is defined?" ”

"What do you mean?" Ye Yu didn't know why.

"Or let's put it this way, don't some metaphysical theories claim that the soul and ** can be separated? So if you swap someone's soul, your soul enters someone else's body, and your body is occupied by someone else, then which is the real you for you? Is it a soul subject, or a biological subject? ”

"This ......!"

"Hehe, it seems to me that it is undoubtedly the 'soul' that determines a person's behavior, joy, anger and sorrow! The essence of the so-called 'soul' is nothing but a collection of human thoughts and memories - that is, 'consciousness', and physiology is just a container for consciousness. It's like having a clone with your exact DNA, but if your consciousness is completely different, it's not you, it's another separate entity! “

"So you think only 'consciousness' can represent a person?"

"That's right! As long as the main consciousness remains unchanged, even if the physiological ** container is replaced, 'you' is still 'you'! The expression on Wu Xuebing's face was replaced with a distorted fanaticism. In other words, if your physiological container is broken, then you can be 'reborn' by transplanting your consciousness to a new 'container'! Even...... It's 'eternal life'!! ”

"Nonsense!" Ye Yu's rebuke interrupted Wu Xuebing's self-absorption. "Memory and thinking depend on the human brain, once the brain is gone, consciousness will also dissipate, unless you can transplant the whole brain, but at the current level of medicine, once the brain leaves **, it will die quickly, and the rejection reaction of the human body cannot support brain transplantation, and your hypothesis is impossible to realize!"

"Who said I was going to have a brain transplant?" Wu Xuebing lowered his head and looked down at Ye Yu with a look of pity. "It's stupid, I've said so much before, didn't you think there's another easy way to do this?"

"Don't transplant your brain? Is it just a transplant of consciousness!? How is this possible! Human memories are incomparably complex, and there is simply nothing else to carry other than the human brain......"

"Then use other people's brains to carry it!" Wu Xuebing rudely interrupted Ye Yu's words, and suddenly took out the Blood Key Ring from his pocket. "You can do it with this thing!"

"Bloodkeystone!" Ye Yu's eyes widened. "Do you want to ......?!"

"Hmph, hum, hum......" Wu Xuebing laughed substantially, his distorted expression making his originally gloomy face even more hideous. The Blood Keystone is really a magical thing, not only can it "read" and "write" brain memory, but theoretically it can even "erase" or even "format"! ”

Wu Xuebing clenched the Blood Key Ring with emotion, and a sickly excitement burst out of his pupils.

"You know what? As long as I can extract all of Xiaoxue's memories and 'write' them into a human whose brain has been "formatted", then this person's brain will become a new 'container' for Xiaoxue's consciousness, and my Xiaoxue will be 'reborn' on this brand-new **! ”

"Isn't that the original person ......?!"

"It's 'dead.'" Wu Xuebing spit out a few words indifferently, "This person's consciousness dies with the 'formatting' of the brain, which is equivalent to a walking corpse that has lost its 'soul'. ”

"Crazy, just crazy!" Ye Yu looked at Wu Xuebing with unreasonable eyes. "It's killing people! And you still have to read all of Zhao Xue's memories!? Regardless of whether your brain can withstand such a huge amount of information, judging from the side effects of the Blood Keystone, I am afraid that your brain will collapse before you finish reading, not to mention the subsequent "erase" and "write"! ”

"That's why the Blood Keystone needs to be transformed!" Wu Xuebing roared, "Although I can't do it personally, they can find a way to minimize the side effects of the Blood Keystone!" As long as I can get enough experimental data, the transformation of the Blood Keystone can be completed, and my little snow can be 'reborn' with their help! Hahaha......"

Wu Xuebing laughed wildly on his back, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into a state of madness.

"Oh, you're thinking so beautifully." Ye Yu chuckled lightly and poured a basin of cold water mercilessly.

Wu Xuebing stopped laughing wildly, lowered his head and glared at Ye Yu with frosty eyes.

"You said before that the so-called 'consciousness' is a collection of thoughts and memories, even if you successfully transplant Zhao Xue's memories with the Blood Keystone, her 'thinking' cannot be transplanted! And a person's way of life and personality largely depend on his way of thinking, that is to say, even if you implant all of Zhao Xue's memories into a person whose brain has been "formatted", that person does not have Zhao Xue's 'consciousness', and it is impossible for him to become Zhao Xue at all! ”

"Stupid!" Wu Xuebing's face was full of scorn. "People's thinking is often influenced by past experiences, and the accumulation of experiences stimulated by the external environment finally forms an individual's unique way of thinking, and the influence of this experience is all 'memory'! In other words, memory and thinking are fundamentally one! ”

"And how do you explain the schizophrenics? They share the same memories but have completely different thinking patterns! And the complexity of the human brain is far from being explained by these theories of yours! “

"Shut up!" Wu Xuebing roared angrily. "You don't understand anything at all! For the sake of my little snow, no matter how slim the hope is, I will try! ”

Ye Yu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who had lost his mind, and suddenly felt a little sad. This man is deeply trapped in his inner demons because of his obsession, and he is even willing to be used, and now he is afraid that he will not listen to anything.

Just as Ye Yu was thinking about how to get out next, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure staggering behind Wu Xuebing, and Wu Xuebing, who was already in a crazy state at this time, seemed to be unaware.

"Shhhhhh

The figure index finger was close to his lips, silently signaling to Ye Yu, and shook his head gently.

Xiao Yan?!

A pale and emaciated pretty face gradually appeared in the shadows, and I saw that Xiao Yan had woken up from the coma at some point, and the hemp ropes on his hands and feet had been untied. At this time, she was holding an iron pipe and quietly approaching behind Wu Xuebing, as if she was planning to sneak attack, but her staggering steps showed that the effect of the drug had not completely dissipated.

Ye Yu immediately retracted his gaze, calmed down, and continued to deal with Wu Xuebing as if nothing had happened.

"Now that you've collected so much data, the Bloodkeystone transformation plan has been completed?"

"Hehe, it's almost there, as long as you can help......" Wu Xuebing looked at Ye Yu with a sneer.

"Me?!"

Wu Xuebing stepped forward and grabbed Ye Yu's hair, bringing his distorted face close to Ye Yu. "As long as we can prove that you have that special constitution, you will be our best experiment! Your blood and your flesh will be the perfect catalyst for this plan, and will also be the best sacrifice for Xiaoxue's rebirth! ”

"You're dreaming! I will not let your plans succeed! Ye Yu gritted his teeth and glared at the man in front of him, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Yan behind the man slowly lifting the iron pipe, ready to start.

"Our plan will definitely succeed, but before that......" Wu Xuebing's expression suddenly froze, and he suddenly turned around and took something out of his arms.

Not good!!

At the last moment, Ye Yu exerted all his strength and rushed towards Wu Xuebing with a chair.

"Bang!"

As the gunshots rang out, a bullet grazed Xiao Yan's cheek and flew past her and hit the wall behind her. I saw that Wu Xuebing was knocked to the ground by Ye Yu, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand seemed to be still emitting a trace of green smoke.

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Yan suddenly came back to his senses and immediately leaned down and rolled to the side. There was another "bang", and another bullet was immediately shot at the location where Xiao Yan was just now.

"Hmph, you think I didn't notice you behind?" Wu Xuebing stood up, looked at Xiao Yan in front of him mockingly, and sneered. "Since you're so dishonest, don't blame me for being unkind!" As he spoke, he raised his gun again and fired.

"Stop!!" Ye Yu desperately twisted his body and moved towards Wu Xuebing, his wrist was strangled with blood marks in the struggle, and the oozing blood slowly stained the hemp rope red, but unfortunately in the case of being heavily restrained, these efforts were completely useless, but it became more and more ridiculous in Wu Xuebing's eyes.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Wu Xuebing kicked Ye Yu in the face heavily, and the corner of the latter's mouth instantly flowed blood, and he was suddenly a little dizzy.

Xiao Yan took advantage of Wu Xuebing's distraction and dodged behind the abandoned machinery and equipment on the side. Seeing this, Wu Xuebing immediately raised his gun.

"Bang bang—"

Two sparks erupted from the surface of the metal machine, and two bullet casings fell to the ground.

Fourth shot. Xiao Yan thought silently in his heart.

The moment Wu Xuebing pulled out the gun before, Xiao Yan recognized the pistol model he was using, this miniature pistol only had five bullets, as long as he was led to shoot another one...... You can subdue him while he is changing bullets!

"It's useless to hide, you can't escape!" Wu Xuebing roared, approaching the direction of Xiao Yan's equipment step by step.

"Bastard! You promised me to let Xiao Yan go! You don't believe what you say! Ye Yu, who was prostrate on the ground, was pressed by the chair behind him, his hands were tied behind the chair and he couldn't move, so he could only desperately raise his head and shout at Wu Xuebing.

"Hmph, what are you talking to me about 'integrity' at this time, I said are you naïve, or stupid?"

Wu Xuebing did not hesitate at all because of Ye Yu's words, but walked straight to the equipment where Xiao Yan was hiding, and was about to kick away the obstacles, when a black shadow suddenly appeared from the side.

"Bang!"

The bullet hit the black shadow perfectly, making a crisp sound of "clang", Wu Xuebing suddenly felt bad, only to see that the so-called black shadow was nothing more than metal scrap wrapped in clothes.

said that it was too late, Xiao Yan suddenly dodged out from the rear, and rushed straight at Wu Xuebing to seize the pistol, but before he could get closer, he suddenly froze.

Xiao Yan's eyes widened, cold sweat gradually oozed from his forehead, and he saw two black hole muzzles pointing directly at his face.

"Do you think I only have one gun?" Wu Xuebing sneered and threw out the other gun that had no bullets.

Worst!!

Ye Yu was in a hurry, and used all his strength to break free from the shackles of the hemp rope.

Hand! Pull your hands out! Damn it...!!

Blood slowly flowed down Ye Yu's wrist, and Ye Yu's eyes gradually became congested in anxiety, and a feeling of heat began to pile up sharply in his chest.

"Click-"

It's the sound of a bullet being loaded.

"Woman, this is all your own death, and I wanted to let you go." Wu Xuebing looked directly at Xiao Yan in front of him, and there was no half a minute of temperature in his words.

"Goodbye."
