Chapter 93: The Mirror Room Encounters a Crisis 3

readx;?“ Hey, you're finally back, come this way, come this way!" the Ghost Bodhisattva opened the door diagonally across the boardroom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The expression on his face was mixed, and with every word he spoke, he raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, causing the already thinning half-black and half-white hair on the top of his head to fall a dozen in a row.

I noticed that his beard had not been shaved for at least twenty-four hours, that the bags under his eyes had become severely prominent, and that his eyes were covered in bloodshot. It is clear that he has not rested for twenty-four hours, so much so that he looks tired like a cornered old hedgehog.

"Have the foreign experts arrived?" asked Tang Wan.

The ghost bodhisattva scratched the back of his head vigorously, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Not yet, not yet, foreign experts are also people, not gods, and if they interfere in the affairs of the 'mirror room' halfway, I am afraid that they will also be unaccustomed to the soil and water, and their efforts will be in vain." ”

He reached out to me and held my right hand hard, refusing to let go for a long time.

"Senior, take care. I said politely.

"Xiao Xia, Brother Xia, I'm afraid I'm going to live up to your expectations this time, and I didn't get things done. Or rather, I overestimated the power of the 'mirror room', and although our research achieved good results, it had a huge flaw in the design and did not take human nature into account...... To put it simply, our programming is based on the premise of 'dead people, dead souls', without taking into account the dangers of soul disintegration. In this way, our institute is an undefended city, unable to stop any evil spirits from counterattacking...... Can you understand when I say this? We are tantamount to creating a heavy time bomb by ourselves, and we don't know when it will be detonated, and the initiative is not in our hands......" The voice of the ghost bodhisattva was low and fast, and the meaning of the sentence was also extremely jumpy.

I listened with bated breath and tried to understand what he meant.

"What about now?" do you have any opinion on the sponsors and managers of the 'Mirror Room?'" I asked.

He stretched out his arm into the room: "Come in and talk about it, come in and talk about it!"

To my surprise, there were already more than a dozen people sitting in the room, all of them with gray hair, and it felt very strange at first glance.

The men sat around a circular conference table, each with a black laptop in front of them.

Tang Wan and I walked in, and those people all hung their heads and looked at the computer, no one paid attention to us at all, and everyone didn't even raise their heads.

Jaina caught up, closed the door casually, and motioned for Tang Wan and I to sit down at the table.

At this moment, the flush on her face had completely receded, leaving no trace, and there was no longer any emotion when her gaze swept over my face.

"Now that everyone is here, can we start?" asked Jana.

The ghost bodhisattva looked around at everyone, and all he could see was the back of the people's heads.

"All ready?" he asked.

Jian Na nodded: "There are fifteen scientific researchers in this institute, plus Mr. Xia and Miss Tang, a total of seventeen." ”

When I looked at the nearest man, I saw that his age was not commensurate with his gray hair, no more than forty years old, and there was not a single wrinkle on his face. I guess that this group of people are all extremely intelligent and wise, because they have been overusing their brains for a long time, so their hair will turn gray in advance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to the original R&D personnel, Mr. Xia Shi and Miss Tang Wan were also added to the roundtable. The theme of the conference was whether or not to continue with the soul disintegration and future crisis response strategies. The Oni Bodhisattva announced into the microphone.

Of the thirteen, half closed their laptops and looked up at the ghosts, while the other half turned a deaf ear and remained buried in their computers.

The meeting was divided into two parts and is expected to last a total of 40 minutes. For the first 20 minutes, everyone brainstormed their opinions, and in the second 20 minutes, everyone voted by a show of hands on whether to immediately destroy the subject and delete all the information that had been obtained. Now, the brainstorming begins, and everyone is free to speak. The ghost bodhisattva said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man with black-rimmed glasses and a big nose like a big brother in the Hong Kong Island film and television industry raised his hand to speak: "I object, our research has just begun, and it is showing a good development, and the dissection of the nine-layer soul decomposition has been very successful - I don't see any reason to stop research, let alone destroy the research subject." I believe that as the anatomy continues, the soul will take on a more beautiful and moving anatomical dimension. I feel like diamond craftsmen, working selflessly to make an otherwise ordinary object bloom with a unique elegance that shocks the world. Stop at this point, you're really crazy and go against the ethics of being a researcher. We are scientists, researchers, and the vanguard and vanguard of human development. If you are restrained and afraid to move forward when you encounter danger, you are not qualified to sit here anymore. I declare that as long as I am alive and have a breath, I will not stop the subject of soul disintegration!"

When he spoke, everyone's eyes were on his face, but most of them had a sneering expression on their faces, as if they were watching a big fool make a fool of himself in public.

This man's speech, while impassioned, was inadequately argued and a bit of a bluff.

Judging from the expressions of other people, most people have different ideas from this person, and his speech naturally cannot inspire other people's enthusiastic responses.

"Robert, your argument has been repeated many times, and if there are no new arguments, there is no need to delay everyone's time. The Ghost Bodhisattva said politely.

Robert waved his thick arms vigorously to accentuate his tone: "I must reiterate my opinion, otherwise, there will be nothing left of the research results that I have worked so hard to obtain in the previous years." I would like to formally warn and draw your attention to this - this is a crime, this is disrespectful to science, and this is also a serious denial of the value of your life!"

The Ghost Bodhisattva raised his hand and made a "silence, stop" gesture to Robert.

In such a meeting, it is enough for everyone to express their point of view clearly. People of the same IQ sit together, and it is impossible for anyone to impose their ideas on others.

If I were a ghost bodhisattva, I would drink and shut up Robert too.

"Others, if you have any new objections to Robert, please follow up. The ghost bodhisattva said.

I realized that there had been many debates on the same content, and that everyone had already expressed their views many times. It seems that everyone except Robert is starting to retreat.

"If no one speaks, let's go straight to the stage of voting by show of hands-" The expression on the Ghost Bodhisattva's face became more and more frustrated.

I understand his feelings, like a craftsman facing a defective piece of material, knowing that the defect cannot be remedied, but he is not willing to give up, and always wants to take a risk and give it a try. At the same time, he did not have the courage to bear the consequences.

In this dilemma, he needed someone to support him in order to overcome the psychological barriers, take a big stride, and continue his research. On the contrary, if everyone remains silent and everyone is wise to protect themselves, he will not have the confidence to move forward.

I looked at Tang Wan, and she was also looking at me solemnly.

The two of us also represent the voices of the two camps at this moment, I am similar to Robert's views, and Tang Wan is biased towards the group of silent people.

"Everyone—" Jaina stood up, "we might as well proceed now for the first round of voting, and please raise your hand in favor of Robert." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Robert raised his two thick arms high up. However, all the others remained motionless, staring at Robert like a monkey play.

"You, you...... Didn't you have confidence in our research? When the body of the woman outside had just arrived, Thomson, Yan, Sue, and Hans ...... You've all said in public that after this research is completed, you may have the opportunity to stand side by side on the podium of the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry, right? Now, why are you all silent? Why? Why?" Robert roared excitedly, slamming his elbow on the table as he roared.

Eighty percent of my heart supported Robert, and the remaining two percent were rationally believing that when research endangered the lives of all people, it was necessary to suspend all the work at hand and make a strategic retreat.

In front of these scientists, even if I raise my hand and stand with Robert, it will be a drop in the bucket and will not save the situation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since only Mr. Robert has agreed to continue the study, the conclusion of our meeting is that the study should be suspended, the data should be cleared, all projects related to the woman with the surname Guan should be closed, and then the carpet data should be cleared. Jaanna announced loudly.

Tang Wan was relieved and let out a long breath.

Not only her, but most of the people at the round table secretly let out a long sigh of relief after hearing Jana's conclusion.

I don't know exactly where the "loss of control" in the "mirror room" manifests, but judging from the attitude of these people, the "loss of control" must be very serious, and most of them are beginning to retreat and refuse to continue to take risks.

"Alright, that's it, adjourn for now. Half an hour later, we followed the operating procedures and started the cleanup plan. Jaina made the closing remarks of the meeting.

The Ghost Bodhisattva sat wordlessly in the swivel chair, his hands pressed on the table, as if he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"No, no, I still have something to say. A middle-aged man of medium height, sitting across from Robert, raised his hand.

I glanced at him, he was wearing the same white radiation suit as the others, his hair was almost completely white, and his facial features were so ordinary that even if I looked at him for a day, I might not be able to find facial features that people could remember deeply.

"Soul analysis is inherently complicated and unpredictable, and we have only just touched the threshold at this point, and the worst outcome that everyone fears will not appear. I think we can keep moving forward, at least in the middle and late stages of this project, and then decide whether we want to continue or not. So far, we have not been harmed in any way, just some small confusion and small disturbances in our minds, and I am sure that we are all adults and can certainly resist these discordant clutter. As Robert said, we are scientists and researchers, and we must dare not to be afraid of hardship and death in the face of bottlenecks, and move forward in the face of difficulties in order to win the final victory. Like Robert, I am adamantly opposed to stopping research at this point. If you insist on implementing the results of the meeting, please hand over the rest of the work materials to me, and I will select another scientific research institution to carry out the work. Of course, the final result still belongs to the 'mirror room', and I will never break my word. As a sign of my sincerity, I would like to donate $80 million to the Mirror Room to compensate you for your work. ”

This person's words are very reasonable, especially the paragraph where he finally paid to "buy" the research results, I believe it is difficult for people to refuse.

Robert slapped the table and shouted while laughing, "Great, great, just as you said, let's take the research somewhere else and reconvene the people, and we will definitely succeed." ”

"Do you have any opinion on this proposal?" asked the Oni Bodhisattva.

The others were silent, and one of them had already taken out his microcalculator and was calculating how much he could get out of the eighty million dollars.

I was a little disappointed because the money-hungry scientists ended up with nothing. Once dragged down by money, these people become slaves to money and lose themselves.

"Okay, since everyone doesn't speak, that's the default result. Now I am announcing that the project has been truly discontinued in the 'Mirror Room' and that Robert will be in charge of the finishing touches. The Ghost Bodhisattva announced the final result.

Robert pushed the chair away, and Huo Di got up, walked around the table, and gripped the man's hands hard, refusing to let go for a long time.

The man whispered a few words in Robert's ear, and the two of them got up and walked out.

The ghost bodhisattva's face was full of gloom, and his right hand was covering his heart hard, obviously feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Tang Wan walked over, leaned over and asked me, "Tianshi, what do you think of this result?"

I smiled wryly and nodded: "That's all, at least the research is still ongoing, don't worry about the previous efforts being wasted." Hopefully Robert and that dude will succeed. ”

Jana closed the folder in front of her, leaned over to the Ghost Bodhisattva, and asked in a low voice, "Are there any other instructions after the meeting?"

The ghost bodhisattva shook his head: "No, Robert's enthusiasm for dedicating himself to scientific research is admirable. Now, I can only bless him. ”

Tang Wan interjected: "Miss Jane, the plan proposed by that person is really the best of both worlds, what is his name?"

Jaanna replied indifferently: "His name is—"

Suddenly, her face changed, she stood up, and pointed with both hands to the rest of the people at the table: "You are all here...... Who was that guy just now? Who was the guy who just walked out with Robert?"

Her behavior was so strange that everyone present was stunned by her question.

"Who's that man, you say? That man doesn't belong here, do you understand? It's a stranger, a spy who has come in—" Jaina screamed, "that man is an extra man from us, and he shouldn't be sitting here at all!"

Tang Wan and I instantly understood what she meant, immediately got up, opened the door of the conference room, and chased after her.

"One more-" Tang Wan shouted in a low voice, "Big trouble is coming!"
