11. Chain reaction (II)

Getting out of the slave store was undoubtedly a good thing.

Without the shackles of handcuffs and shackles, the body transformation completed by the military factory working overtime can be put into practice.

Helplessly, a wave of unsettled waves has risen again and again...

Zhao Manyun's halfway entry added a huge psychological burden to Lu Fuyan, and to a certain extent, disrupted the original follow-up escape plan.

In the face of the same situation, the change in the position of the enemy and the enemy will naturally lead to completely different decision-making orientations.

If you don't understand the intentions of Miss Zhao and the nightingale bar behind her, Lu Fuyan naturally can't "disappear" boldly - walking in the relay station market filled with yellow sand, what really ties Lu is not the chain held in Dr. Luo's hand around his neck, but the mysterious gaze behind him that looms but can't always catch a trace.

Fortunately, this helpless feeling did not make Lu Fuyan indulge in depression.

Mature in mind, he knows that worrying about the sky is not helpful in solving problems... No matter what Zhao Manyun's intentions are, what he should concentrate on dealing with at the moment is actually Rodney, the nominal "master".

And about this, he has already planned.

INTERVIEWER There is not only one way to get rid of the troubles.

On the one hand, NKUD's penetration into Dr. Luo has been deepening day by day. Previously trapped in a slave shop, Lu Fuyan was worried that he would not be able to end it immediately if there was an accident, so he postponed the idea of promoting espionage work, but now the world is different, if he continues to increase the intensity of special service missions, he may not be able to reshape his personality through the intelligence agency and completely transform Rodney into a tool man driven by himself.

On the other hand, with the completion of the installation of new weapons manufactured by the military production line, the transformed Lu Fuyan has also gained considerable confidence in personal combat!

Although he still lacks the accumulation of actual combat experience at this stage, with the internal assistance of NKUD, it seems that it is not difficult to win Doctor Luo in a one-on-one situation.

The only problem is that regardless of "civil fighting" and "martial fighting", the occasions for attacking Rodney must be carefully selected.

As the first identity imprint after crossing over, Lu Fuyan was just an ordinary slave in the eyes of passers-by who came and went at the relay station at this time.

Even people who lack common sense should know that under the constraints of a relatively stable social order, there is a high probability that the slave who kills his master on the street will not win the applause of everyone and embark on the road of Spartacus, but will be more likely to be pushed down by law enforcement officers on the street and sent to the judicial office...

Therefore, he can't break out halfway, and he must choose a more hidden occasion to start in order to facilitate the follow-up treatment of the tail of the hand.

Fortunately, the scale of the "Toutuoling" relay station is not large, and the distance from the slave shop to Luo Dafu's temporary residence is less than 1 kilometer in a straight line.

Even if the trip of the two was slowed down by illegal construction along the way, when they returned to the small tower rented and renovated by Hisun Pharmaceutical in Toutuoling, the sunset had just fallen into the horizon.

Built in the desert, the two-storey tower has a quadrangular pyramid design and is covered with wide sand-clad brackets to minimize the erosion of the building by the hot wind of the sand.

At the same time, in order to cope with the problem of small specific heat of sand and excessive temperature difference between day and night, the doors and windows of the tower are not only scarce but also extremely narrow, and at first glance, the whole building is more like a bunker than a house.

Such a structure greatly improves the privacy of the residence, and it is undoubtedly a suitable scene for Lu Fuyan!

And Rodney himself apparently did not realize this.

He escorted Lu Fuyan into the room through the narrow door, and after turning on the wall lamp, the furnishings in the room finally showed that they were different from those of the slave shop.

The interior space of the frame structure naturally distinguishes many different functional partitions, and together with the plain long table and basic test equipment such as iron frames, microscopes, and high-performance liquid chromatographs, the entire first floor is filled with a staggered and orderly scholarly atmosphere.

Compared with the slave shops with industrial heavy metal style, there is more of a civilized society here.

It's just that Dr. Luo, who has returned to his own territory, still has no intention of taking off his mask and sunglasses. He tugged at the collar around his neck, locked Lu Fuyan near the sink, and then immediately went to the second floor to deal with his own affairs.

The latter still did not act blindly, but continued to lie dormant under the pretense of obedience.

Thanks to the limited floor height of the tower, Agent Abel, who infiltrated the rear of the hostile forces, did not exceed the communication limit distance of the NKUD after Dr. Luo left Lu someone's line of sight, and Lu Fuyan was able to calmly cut into the monitoring perspective and check the situation on the second floor through the ceiling.

Since this perspective is not under his subjective control, the effective intelligence that can be gathered is relatively limited...

Regardless, the extra step of preparation finally allowed Lu to confirm that there were no Rodney's accomplices on the second floor of the tower.

- At this point, all the prerequisites for action have been met.

Lu Fuyan finally stopped hiding his target, he entered the perspective of the First Republic, and manipulated the spy network planted in Dr. Luo's body through the [intelligence agency] to promote the influence on the target's consciousness.

[Alternative course of action]

[1. Memory modification (success rate: 89%, exposure risk: 9%)]

[2. Behavioral induction (success rate: 97%, exposure risk: 1%)]

[3. Consciousness interference (success rate: 6%, exposure risk: 88%)]

Compared with the situation at the time of the first incursion, the continuous deepening of intelligence work has increased the success rate of various operations to varying degrees.

[Behavior Induction] In the past two days, Lu has been quite proficient in using it, but the specific effect cannot meet the needs of this stage, so he decided to take the risk and try to carry out the operation of [Memory Modification].

The moment the order was given, the scene in front of Lu Fuyan's eyes changed again.

This time, he did not enter the state of two-in-one monitoring, but like a swimming fish that drilled into Rodney's brain, directly facing the huge and complicated torrent of memories!

In this strange world, where there is no distinction between up and down, left and right, countless pictures and sounds are intertwined into waves that come to Lu and someone.

From the street scene where he had just walked all the way back to his temporary residence, to the dispute with Miss Zhao Manjun farther away, all the experiences of Rodney began to play back in front of his eyes, and were constantly absorbed by the intruders at an accelerated pace, becoming "archival materials" that could be called up at any time.

Lu Fuyan can feel that he has not really assimilated this part of the memory, but with the help of the system, he can quickly access the memory fragments he needs by retrieving keywords, and then watch the most realistic on-the-spot reactions of the parties in real time from a first-person perspective.

Although this model protects Lu's own subjective consciousness from being overwhelmed by the memories poured in from outside, and even completely losing himself, from another point of view, it also cuts off the possibility of him quickly learning a certain skill or knowledge, which to a certain extent can also be called a gain and loss, fair and reasonable.

It's just that he soon didn't have the heart to think about these details.

As the invasion of the target's Sea of Memories continues to deepen, just as Lu is trying to check the detailed information about Hisun Pharmaceutical, a surprise suddenly happens!

The keyword "Hisun Pharmaceutical" seems to have triggered some kind of special defense mechanism, and the originally calm sea waves have become turbulent, and the entire world composed of memory torrents has also undergone violent turmoil!

Before Lu Fuyan could try to remedy it, the information that popped up in the system later showed that [Memory Modification] had failed completely!

The intruder's consciousness was thus detected by the opponent, and Lu also pieced together a series of details that he had overlooked before after a brief shock.

- Why doesn't the system rank the three espionage operations in order of success rate from highest to lowest?

- Why did Dr. Luo suddenly take off his glasses when he first pretended to be crazy, and the whole person entered a robot-like state?

——Why did Dr. Luo immediately turn around and completely give up the possibility of negotiation after Zhao Manjun said that he needed Rodney to reveal the internal intelligence of Hisun Pharmaceutical?

These inconspicuous questions were previously submerged under stronger emotional interference, and no one cared about them, and it was not until this moment that Lu Fuyan figured out the inside story by chance.

"I see, this is the so-called 'armed with a sharp weapon, murderous intentions'..."

For the management of a pharmaceutical company that operates a large business in the wasteland, it is certainly impossible for such a convenient technology as "brainwashing" to be available only to customers.

In order to ensure the loyalty of employees, and to minimize the risk of labor costs and technology outflow, the capitalists naturally deprive the members of the organization of part of their free will, and set up a defense mechanism in advance to prevent competitors from exerting influence by similar means.

And Lu Fuyan's attempt to retrieve "Hisun Pharmaceutical" just now happened to be a taboo, which indirectly led to the failure of NKUD's operation.

"Tsk, trouble."

Lao Lu sighed and propped his hands on the inside of the collar.

With a soft "pop", the rusty torture instrument immediately split in half.
