Chapter 17: The Psyker and the Demon
Before dinner, Amirus took Russell to a research company affiliated with Thotreonic and helped Russell treat his wounds.
Although Russell's injuries are really not serious, they are just flesh wounds......
But Amirus still sent three white coats and gave Russell a full body examination.
Unexpectedly, I really found out something......
"There are two levels of psionic load, and the pressure on the internal organs and brain is not high at this level of load."
A doctor with horns and ears and a deep, deep voice handed the report to Russell: "Redshift 2, Blueshift 4, it's safe for now...... But after that, I had to remember to have a physical examination every month. β
This value represents the level of Psionic Awakening. There are only two values, red and blue, from one to ten, and from weak to strong.
The redshift value represents desire and obsession, and it is also the strength of psionic energy; The blueshift value is the manifestation of rationality and morality, and also represents the degree to which the psionic person restricts his or her own psionic energy. Psionics are controllable only if the blueshift value is greater than or equal to the redshift value.
Otherwise, psykers will degenerate into "demons". Their memories will be preserved, but their original personality will be completely lost. In its place, there are demons whose desires are infinitely strengthened, depraved and mad.
The most harmful thing about demons is that they gradually pull the people close to them into their dreams in their dreams. If ordinary people are unable to resist this call with willpower and sink into dreams, they will be gradually brainwashed, artificially created false memories, or forget about someone or something.
These people will eventually become "demons". Even if you kill the demon and save the demon, the ruined memories and distorted personality will not be able to change back.
These demons will lurk among the crowd and grow up by absorbing the desires and obsessions of the same attribute in their dreams. As the eggs hatch and the psionic energy grows stronger, it eventually becomes a true twisted monster. Even if a demon is killed, it will never be considered homicide...... for what is hidden in that body is no longer human.
This is not the knowledge of a university professor, but the secret knowledge revealed to him by Russell's mentor.
It was also because of work problems, Russell had to reach out to Downtown. In order to ensure Russell's safety, his mentor told Russell these common senses in advance.
- Sogo Island is ostensibly using artificial intelligence to catch criminals, but this is just an excuse for the public.
It actually relies on this analysis function to analyze everyone's behavior. If a person's behavior deviates from what he usually knows, acts, and feels, and suddenly and unexpectedly behaves or behaves strangely, then he will be closely monitored.
For example, a person who used to have a good temper suddenly becomes angry, or a girl who was originally clean and self-righteous suddenly has a relationship with someone who is not so good...... This anomaly is suspected of being a "demonic phenomenon".
Unless you take it directly to a professional company to test the psionic strength, as Russell is doing now, and find that the redshift has surpassed the blueshift. Otherwise, the demon cannot be detected and cannot be identified by any means.
If you want to find the demon, you can only triangulate the social level through multiple "demons".
"It seems that there are still dead ends in the psychic protection chip."
Amirus commented solemnly: "In recent years, more and more people have been awakening spiritual energy by bypassing the psychic protection chip. β
The white coats next to him nodded in agreement.
"What?"
Russell asked with some confusion.
Amirus turned around and explained to Russell without hesitation: "Do you know the meaning of that chip? A person wearing a chip cannot awaken spiritual energy. β
ββ¦β¦ I've heard this urban legend. But because there is no evidence and there is no book to find, I am not sure. β
"Then you can be sure now," replied Amirus, "because I invented this chip."
"In its second-generation version, the main user demand is to 'stun people with electric shocks'. As soon as an emotional overload is detected, it immediately delivers a microshock that does not harm the body but is enough to make a person faint, and it looks like it is in shock due to emotional agitation. β
"What does that mean?"
"Because the awakening of psionic energy, the redshift from one to two, the ritual of breaking through the wall of Behemoth, is a single obsession with strong enough emotions and direction."
The old elf said slowly, "As long as you don't become a psyker, you won't become a demon. In other words, all demons are born from out-of-control psionics.
"In 1141, a demon codenamed 'Mammon' devoured one-third of the staff of Shenzhi Heavy Industries, and ate the memories and feelings of the accumulated 5,000 people on Tongshen Island, causing the 'Pale White Incident'. Since then, Shensang Heavy Industries has commissioned us to develop a new type of chip that will stop the awakening of psionic energy in the second generation.
"It was also after that that the chip was attached with a unique 'registration code'. This is actually encouraging...... In other words, it is mandatory for all newborns to be equipped with psychic protection chips. It was since then that there was a special group of 'uncensored'. β
β¦β¦ No wonder.
Russell suddenly.
That's why Amirus called it the "Psychic Protection Chip".
It is not the external forces that are protected, but the inner -
As long as this chip is assembled, it will not awaken psionic energy.
"Tell me that...... No problem? β
Russell hesitated.
Wouldn't this be the secret of Thotreonic energy that you have to add to it if you know it?
Amirus shook his head: "It's okay, you'll know when you enter the Tianen Group."
"Now that you've awakened your psionic powers, you'll eventually be transferred to the Special Operations Department, no matter where you're supposed to work."
"Why?"
"Because only then will you not become an [Unlawful Psyker]."
Amirus replied, "Due to the protection of the soul by the chip, it is usually necessary to remove the chip if you want to become a psyker. And because the chip is bound to the registration code, it also means that you will become a 'codeless person' and lose all citizenship rights. If you want to permanently upgrade your psionic level, you need to complete some 'desire quests' and complete the corresponding rituals in your dreams...... But if the emotions and desires are intense enough, you can also obtain the next level of spiritual power in advance, or even the next level.
"As a result, all illegal psionics will be monitored. As soon as the executor finds his tracks, he can be arrested immediately, regardless of whether the other party is guilty or not - after all, if left unchecked, the illegal psyker will become a demon sooner or later.
"But for companies, this common sense is not universal. All the executive officers of the executive department are psychic. And they are all under constraints, 'safe and legal' psionics.
"Depending on their blueshift value, their chips will open different levels of permissions. Only if the blueshift value has increased and there has been no decrease after three months of observation can the right to increase the restriction can be applied. They have a monthly check-up to see if the blueshift value drops and if the constraint level drops. Considering the security threshold, only when the blue shift value is 4, the third-level permission can be activated, and if the blueshift is 3, it can only be turned on to two levels, that is, the level of the awakened psionic energy.
"This means that almost all official psionics have been suppressed by one or two levels to ensure that they do not degenerate into demons."
As he spoke, Amirus took a deep look at Russell: "But you are different.
"If you complete the psionic awakening before the clearance is opened, it means that the chip cannot restrain your psionic energy. Then you will be assigned to the Special Operations Department, where the Executive Director will be in charge of teaching, task scheduling, and psychotherapy, and will exert greater power under supervision and without losing control.
"One of the biggest advantages of entering the Special Operations Department is that you don't have to be easily called - ordinary executives, as long as they are R5 or above managers, can be temporarily transferred to help them complete a series of tasks such as security and escort. The Special Operations Department is only under the Board of Directors of the head office...... This means that your job will be much more leisurely and your pay will be higher. β
- The danger will also be higher.
Russell added in his heart.
But judging from the calm expression on his face when he saw his physical examination report, I am afraid that when Russell was fighting that mercenary, Amirus guessed that he had awakened his spiritual energy. The psionic armament called "Saint Beheading" was just a disguise for his psykeric identity.
If nothing else, after the medical examination is completed, Russell will be assigned to the Special Operations Department.
But there was one thing, Amirus guessed wrong.
- Russell's psychic awakening is not to bypass the protection of the chip.
When he graduated from graduate school, Russell's physical examination results were red shift 1 and blue shift 2, which are standard normal values.
It was on the airship, after recovering the memories of his previous life...... Russell's redshift and blueshift values have improved significantly.
This was originally the spiritual energy that he awakened before he was bornβthe spiritual energy condensed from the memories, desires, obsessions, and personality of his previous life!
