Chapter 56: Alice's Surgery
When Russell takes on the form of Alice, he gets Alice's instincts as a "doctor".
Although there are no relevant memories in the brain, it is cognitively as if it has acquired the form of the memory.
Alice used her left hand as a medium, using the psionic power of the "Immortal Instrument" to manifest a prosthetic hand designed by Russell in the past.
Russell knew the inner workings of the prosthetic hand so well that Alice was able to reproduce it perfectly with the Immortal Artifact.
The "non-existent" steel prosthetic hand strangled Quan Shu's neck and dragged him upward.
Because the speed of being held by the prosthetic hand is not very fast, coupled with the fact that he is short and thin, his self-weight is not enough to tear off his cervical vertebrae. But even then, he felt extremely intense pain...... Just as he was about to faint from the pain, Alice put him back on the ground and leaned back against the wall.
It's not about giving him forgiveness, it's about stopping him from struggling.
Alice's slender right hand clenched weakly, as if holding a scalpel of some model.
She swiped lightly across the eyes of the fully cooked.
No blood was spilled, but his optic nerve had been severed by Russell.
Then there were the nerves and muscles of his limbs - in order to prevent him from being incontinent, Alice did not cut his spine.
At this point, Quan Shu has become a waste.
Then, Alice carefully examined the full familiarity that had been restrained by herself until her face turned purple.
…… No, it's not insured.
Considering that the full master is able to use spells...... This level of prohibition may not be enough.
And Alice is also worried about one thing.
The company made it clear that it was going to capture a mage alive: it could hurt or maim it, but at least it had to take a breath.
It shouldn't be for the purpose of searching for memories - because as long as the head is frozen in time, the memories can still be extracted from the brain. Probably not to persuade the other party...... The maze itself was the company's two or five boys, and they didn't have to pay such a big price to find another one.
Although I don't know what the company takes the mage to do.
But in case the company doesn't "consume" the whole cook, and plans to use it......
Alice didn't want the clown to pop up and trouble herself one day.
Just seeing him again made Alice sick.
"Ah, you've figured out a way......"
Under the gaze of the full familiar, Alice suddenly showed a bright and gentle smile: "Cut off your frontal lobe." ”
This is the knowledge that Russell got from the inferior when he came back from the reinvention mechanism with the inferior before.
- There used to be frontal lobectomy surgery in this world.
Before the "Reinvention Mechanism" was put into operation, the way to deal with captured demons and psionics who were about to get out of control was to remove their frontal lobes.
When the frontal lobe is cut off, psionics and demons lose their psionic abilities immediately. According to the study of Thoth's psionic energy, the "psionic organ" that humans perceive and use psionic energy is located in the frontal lobe.
At this time, if you perform a psionic strength test, both the redshift and blueshift values will reset to zero.
Later, this surgery was not performed because it was "inhumane" ...... "treated" those psionic abilities that bypassed the spontaneous awakening of the chip, and if the memory could not be accurately erased, this surgery could only be used. In this case, there is no such thing as humanity or inhumanity.
The real reason why companies are abolishing this surgery is actually because of "waste".
Thothling believes that demons that can continuously extract memories to make "memory arms" are themselves a kind of wealth and a special kind of machine. It's too wasteful to destroy psionic energy all at once...... So there is a reinvention mechanism.
I don't know if the mage will be able to use spells after that......
Considering that the company may still extract fully cooked memories.
- Even if you expose yourself to be Alice, you must not reveal what you know about the mage here.
Alice smiled softly, "In that case, at least you shouldn't go against me again." ”
Even ampoule biomedical has not mastered the technology to treat physical damage to the brain.
Hearing Alice's words, a look of fear suddenly appeared on Quan Shu's face.
Gray flames emerged from all over him, but were completely ignored by Alice; Gray spikes continued to grow outward from his body, but they broke directly when they touched Alice.
The next moment, Alice was once again dragged into the illusion of the "Crystal Street", but the spell used once again had no meaning.
In just a moment, she saw through the means of full familiarity and broke free from the illusion.
Grain
"Sure enough, you still have a hand."
Alice suddenly.
It seems that the scene that Quan Shu built is so real...... Most likely, it wasn't because he imagined it out of thin air, but because he had really seen that scene.
That huge crystal skeleton is probably really his mentor. And that illusion, like sixteenth-century England on Earth, is supposed to be somewhere in the dream world.
That should also be the area where you can get this spell in full skill.
Now it seems that even if the sight and limbs are deprived, the full master can still cast spells. If a few people from the Special Enforcement Department thought that Quanshu had been subdued and left him here, maybe Quanshu would be able to kill the staff who came to carry him, or use illusion to control them to escape directly.
And Quan Shu did not hesitate to expose the fact that he could cast spells at this time, and he also had an attitude towards Alice's counterattack...... It also proves that this operation may still be effective for the mage.
"What a valuable experience."
She sighed, letting go of some of her ripe necks and flattening him to the ground, "Is there anything else you want to say at the end?" ”
Although I don't know if the mage who removed the frontal lobe is still useful to the company...... But that doesn't matter, it's none of her business. It's better to say that it doesn't work.
Anyway, the task on her side can deal with the past.
"I'm not willing to ......"
Quan Shu's face turned red, and he roared, trying to struggle his limbs but couldn't move: "I'm not reconciled!
"Just give me ten more seconds, just get those people a little closer...... If they had come faster...... How could you possibly ......"
"Ah, I understand."
Alice explained for him empathically, "You want to burn the dregs with your ashes as firewood for your psionic power, right?" ”
Quan Shu froze for a moment.
"That's so nice."
Alice smiled smartly.
This was the scene that Alice had in mind when she learned the principles of the Quan Shu spell.
If the power of a well-cooked spell depends on the observer's conjecture of his spell, Alice has completely seen through his weakness...... The way to regain the power of a spell is to recreate a group of observers.
He ran away before, of course, not because he thought he could outrun the "Moonstone" with his legs.
Instead, he realizes that Ultramarines may have seen through his spell and seeks out the gang members who have fled in all directions.
Or simply use your authority to gather a group of people......
- and set them all on fire!
Because of their pain and fear, the power of full maturity will increase many times or dozens of times before their eyes...... If there can be sacrifices of more than 100 people, it is not impossible for the "Ash of Hypocrisy" to fight even against the moonstone.
At that time, Russell would chase after him, also to prevent this from happening.
Now it seems that I really guessed correctly.
"Looks like you don't have anything more to say."
Alice muttered softly, her left hand clenched again, and her prosthetic hand fixed the fully cooked head to the ground. "Peace of mind, it won't hurt."
Her right hand gracefully touched her familiar forehead, like a gentle caressing.
- Swipe from left to right as easy as unlocking your phone's screen. The nerves that connect the brain to the frontal lobe are easily severed by the "non-existent instrument".
It's less than two seconds...... The surgery has been done. Her movements were so light that she didn't hurt any unnecessary tissue to put her life in danger. Even if he did a brain CT for full familiarity, he would never find that his brain had irreversible damage.
Quan Shu immediately became quiet.
…… So skilled.
It's as if this body had undergone a similar operation, or had used this method to assassinate someone.
Although I had long learned from the bad day that my mother had a very strong urge to kill before she became a "doctor".
But now he plays the role of his mother to perform the "operation" and unveil a veil of his mother's past...... That feeling will still make the mood inexplicably complicated.
It takes about a minute...... Previously, he was able to use illusions to play with Russell and the Paradise Bird to applaud and beat him to the point where he was almost unconscious, but Alice easily solved it.
It's time to go back and help the Paradise Birds.
Alice thought to herself.
