In the face of Eddie's inquiry, Du Wei replied very bluntly.

"I want you to do it for me, and I want you to give me half of NZT-48, and I'll find someone to improve it.

By now you should know that this is the right choice.

And you yourself should put your talents to good use and go on the road to the campaign.

Use your talent to change this bad world. ”

Eddie shook his head:

"No, my mind has never told me as clearly as I do now what I need.

What I need is money and freedom, not to run for office. ”

Du Wei smiled slightly:

"Really? Remember the first thing I told you? Now you don't know what you want.

Believe me, even without my intervention, you will end up on the road to the campaign.

Because without the protection of rights, no amount of money you have can buy freedom.

Besides, what is standing behind the NZT-48, have you thought about it?

Now you're like a guinea pig in their watch.

But what if one day the mouse wants to escape from the lab? What will happen?

I think you're a smart guy who should understand how people treat guinea pigs who escape from the lab.

That's the second thing I'm going to tell you, you will never be safe without changing this world. ”

Eddie, who was sitting at the back of the table, stared closely at Dewey's facial expression, trying to see some signs of disguise.

But in the end, he failed.

He showed no sign that Du Wei was lying, and Eddie, who took the NZT-48 and thought he had the whole world, was inexplicably frustrated.

is so strong, he was actually led by the nose by an ordinary person.

The dominant discourse in the conversation is entirely in Du Wei's hands.

He had been passively following the trajectory planned by Du Wei.

It felt as if it wasn't him who was being developed into his brain, but Dewey.

Aware of this, Eddie tries to snatch the initiative back from the conversation.

"Since you need me to run for office, help you change the world.

But why do I think you, a doctor, can change the world?

Although you have the money to hire two bodyguards, you also said that there is no money and security in this world.

Right now, for example, I have ten ways to get you dead.

So, so vulnerable, are you trying to trick me into working for you with NZT news out of nowhere? It's too simple, isn't it? ”

Du Wei smiled and shook his head, then dipped his finger in the foam on the coffee and drew a circle on the table.

"It looks like I'm overestimating the effectiveness of NZT-48.

It does develop the brain, but it doesn't expand people's cognition.

All you see is a circle, but there's something bigger than that.

You're right to think I'm a doctor, I'm a doctor, an intern.

But that's just what I let you see, remember the first sentence? You can't be omniscient.

So if you want to see the outside world, come with me. ”

After saying that, Du Wei stood up and walked over to Michael after saying a word of free time.

Michael, who understood, disappeared from Du Wei's field of vision with his colleagues.

Then Du Wei sat in the online car-hailing car that he had made an appointment early in the morning, and after silently counting five numbers in his heart, Eddie also opened the door of the back seat and sat in the online car-hailing car.

The corners of Du Wei's mouth are slightly upturned, Eddie is true that he has developed 99% of his brain, but he can't stand the 100% developed brain that Du Wei got after sacrificing his life.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

Eddie can't be omniscient, Dewey can!

Soon, the car stopped a block away, and Dewey and Eddie walked to the door of the abandoned library.

Eddie glanced at his surroundings and knew as he found the well-camouflaged network cable through comparison.

He immediately realized that this was a good place to make a secret base.

Secret base? Dual identity? He felt like he was starting to get to know Du Wei.

But is this what Du Wei is going to show him? It doesn't seem like that's enough.

When he pushed the door in, Eddie frowned at the dilapidated sight inside.

If this is Du Wei's secret base, it is too unkempt.

Eddie then looked up at the second floor, as he had just seen dust fall from the ceiling on the first floor.

This proves that there are still people here.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, two heads appeared in front of the railing in the corridor on the second floor.

One person has a resolute countenance, and he should have served in the army.

The other person looks like an IT otaku, as evidenced by the thickness of the lenses as thick as the bottom of the bottle and the pale face due to the lack of sunlight.

Strange combination.

Eddie made a judgment in his mind.

A doctor, a retired soldier, an IT nerd.

Eddie really didn't know what the group was doing in this secret library.

He knew he was missing some key information, some information that would connect the three of them.

He looked at Du Wei and tried to get Du Wei's explanation.

Du Wei just smiled and walked first to the stairs and motioned for him to follow.

After arriving on the second floor, Eddie was able to obtain more information through the environment.

Gone are the rows of bookcases that used to exist here, replaced by a spacious office that has been renovated.

The monitors and keyboards on the desk proved that his conjecture about Finch's identity was not wrong.

At the same time, the fake documents scattered on the table also attracted his attention, and when he saw the 'irrelevant number' wall full of social security numbers and photo sticky notes.

Eddie's pupils contracted suddenly.

This is all private information of citizens!

Are these people in the business of buying and selling citizens' private information? So you need to campaign yourself to act as an umbrella for them?

Just as he was thinking this, Finch, who had already learned of Eddie's existence, spoke first:

"Is he the Eddie you want? It doesn't seem like he has mysteriously metamorphosed into a genius writer. ”

Du Wei smiled mysteriously:

"Not necessarily, has the machine spit out a new number recently?

Give him the relevant information and he will surprise you. ”

Finch suspiciously handed Eddie a Social Security number, a veteran named Joey.

According to Reese's preliminary investigation, this guy is a hotel security guard on the surface, an upright person, and has a girlfriend who is not married.

But Joey also adopted a daughter.

As for the identity of this daughter, Finch has not had time to investigate.

However, it is puzzling that this supposedly happy family has not known why it has been involved in bank robberies led by a retired veteran of the Gulf War many times.

So Finch is preparing to let Reese in and act as an undercover agent to find out what is going on.

Now, after hearing Du Wei's request, he did not reserve the information he knew to Eddie.

After getting this information, Eddie immediately realized that this group of people was not doing illegal communication to sell private information, but acting as vigilantes!

Eddie put aside his doubts for a moment, and he began to think back to the interviews he had read about veterans who had retired from the battlefield and the official welfare policy for veterans.

He came to his conclusion almost in a matter of seconds:

"Obviously he's short of money, lots and lots of money.

Because he had to feed not only himself, but also his relatives after the death of his comrades.

That daughter was most likely the widow of his deceased comrade-in-arms.

If that pension is the only one, I am afraid that the girl will live a very bad life.

That's what really prompted Joey to join the heist.

However, based on past experience, these veterans will eventually die.

Either because of the uneven distribution of spoils, or because they learned that something was going to be destroyed.

So does the machine in Du Wei's mouth have the ability to warn of crimes? ”

Finch was a little surprised, and instead of answering, his fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard.

With the direction in hand, information about Joey's daughter quickly appeared in front of Finch.

This daughter is indeed the widow of Joey's comrade-in-arms!

At the same time, Finch overheard a new call he had just made to the Gulf War veteran.

The guy on the other end of the phone offered $40W for him to go to the police station and grab an item marked 'Elijah'.

At the same time, he also demanded that Joey and his gang be killed.

The trajectory of this thing is exactly the same as what Eddie said!

Finch's heart was no less shocked than when he learned that Du Wei could share the machine's vision.

According to the information he had obtained earlier, this Eddie did not have such excellent analytical skills.

It can even be said that the current Eddie and the previous Eddie are two completely different people!

And now Eddie is clearly better!

Finch immediately realized that this was what Dewey called a metamorphosis, and that Eddie had indeed become different.

Finch first suppressed the shock in his heart and arranged for Reeser to save Joey, and then looked at Du Weidao:

"It is absolutely impossible for a person to have such a huge change in a short period of time, what the hell is happening to him?!"

"The drug, a test drug with powerful side effects, can develop the brain, NZT-48.

The pharmaceutical companies behind the high table deliberately entered the market and sold the miracle drug for $800 each.

It doesn't work the same way for different people, and the guy behind us is the first normal person to be able to develop their brains to 99% with NZT-48. ”

Testing Drugs?

Developing the brain? 99%？

Another high table?

Vinci keenly captures the key words.

After seeing Eddie's performance, he certainly understood how amazing the drug was.

It is almost possible to turn a lying waste waiting to die into a super-intelligent being.

With this IQ, Eddie's journey to the pinnacle of life is almost just around the corner, let alone running for office.

Now Finch understood the meaning of what Dewey had said.

It's true that Eddie is a piece of crap, but with the NZT-48, Eddie has become the brightest new star in the world.

If it weren't for the side effects of this NZT-48, Finch would have been unable to imagine Eddie's achievements in the future.

But Eddie, who was like a dazzling new star in Finch's eyes, was also shocked at this time.

As Du Wei said when they met, he couldn't be omniscient.

So when Du Wei said the test drug, powerful side effects, 99% brain development, high table.

Eddie also has to admit that he is indeed just a frog at the bottom of a well.

Because the information revealed in Du Wei's words was all information that he had never been exposed to.

Du Wei also said that he did not understand the NZT-48?

This is clearly more like Eddie is taking NZT-48!

Now he was more anxious than Finch to know what the high table was!

But before he could speak, Du Wei was the first to speak as if he had seen through everything about him:

"Don't worry, there are two paths in your life.

One is to rely on this bag of NZT-48, which will be consumed sooner or later, to reach the pinnacle of life and realize the so-called money and freedom according to your own plan.

Of course, this period will definitely attract the covetousness of many people.

It will even make the guy working on the NZT-48 aware of your presence and realize that someone can use it to develop the brain to 99% height.

The second path is a little more thrilling, and I'm not afraid to tell you that although we are small in number, our goals are very ambitious.

Our goal is to save the world, so that everything that threatens the survival of humanity disappears before it explodes.

As you can just see, Reeser is trying to stop a crime.

And the high table hidden in the shadow of society is the target we want to defeat at this stage.

So which path do you choose? ”

Eddie had already analyzed the pros and cons in his mind while Dewey narrated.

He had two choices, but there was really only one choice.

That is to join Du Wei's salvation organization and bring down the high table.

Because since NZT-48 is associated with a high table, it seems that he is a unique being in the world and will be caught in the laboratory for slicing and studying.

Only when the high table collapsed could he realize his freedom.

Or...... There is a third way for him to give up taking NZT-48 and live an ordinary life again.

Then he will not have to be involved in this treacherous situation in his life.

It's a pity that Du Wei didn't say that this third way was not something that Du Wei didn't think of.

It's that Du Wei has taken NZT-48, and he can't get rid of this all-controlling drug addiction.

After all, in addition to the frustration that Eddie had suffered here in Du Wei, all he found in everyone else was a sense of superiority from above!

This glamorous feeling is addictive.

Give up, that's impossible to give up!

"Okay, I promise you, I'll run for election, but I need start-up capital and the protection of the people involved!"

Du Wei was not surprised by this result, he just stretched out his hand as if waiting for something.

A look of pain flashed across Eddie's face, and he pulled out the NZT-48 in the ziplock bag from the inside pocket of his coat.

Then half of it, about 200, was poured to Du Wei.

After getting the NZT-48, Du Wei just found a random plastic medicine bottle and filled it in.

This thing is not afraid of light anyway, and it doesn't need a special brown bottle.

After doing all this, Du Wei turned his gaze to their gold master, Finch.

"Finch, you heard that, he needs the start-up money for the campaign, it's ...... money"

Vinci said very kindly:

"I'll fix it."

Du Wei nodded with satisfaction:

"Also, I need to recruit some people to improve this NZT-48, so the money ......"

"I'll fix it."

"Good."

Du Wei took out three NZT-48s and handed them to Finch:

"This medicine is for you, Reese, and McKel to use in case of an emergency, remember, this medicine has a 30-second activation time.

If the situation is critical, do not hesitate to eat it and you will discover the new world. ”

Faced with the extremely addictive NZT-48, Finch had a look of hesitation in his eyes.

But he soon picked it up.

Emergency things, who knows if there is a chance to use them.

It's like a miniature 'machine' in the mind, so Finch knows pretty well how useful it can be when it matters most.

After Finch put away the NZT-48, Dewey asked Finch for the address of Walter White (Breaking Bad), turned to Eddie and said:

"Come with me now."

Eddie nodded, now that he had joined the Salvation Organization, he naturally had to look ahead to Du Weima.

What's more, he could see that Du Wei had something to say to him.

After leaving the secret base, Du Wei narrowed his eyes and said something that Eddie didn't expect.

"I need you to help me plan a perfect crime."

Eddie found that he was getting more and more confused about Dewey's thoughts.

Obviously, one second ago, he claimed to be a salvation organization, why did he start to do assassination in the next second?

However, the well-behaved Eddie didn't ask, he knew that Du Wei had something to say.

“…… Every member of the Salvation Alliance will play a pivotal role in the world to come.

But if they die early, then the future value will naturally be greatly reduced.

And those who threaten them are hiding around us, they just don't show it.

However, they are all quite decent people, so they disdain to do some shoddy means, and are not even willing to remove the threat before others do not threaten them.

So you should understand that every organization has to have someone who will do what others won't do.

You will know this better after the campaign.

So I need someone who can help me nip the danger in the cradle, and you can see it as a test for you. ”

Speaking of which, Du Wei handed Eddie a piece of information with a photo posted.

"Pete, ostensibly a neurologist, is behind the scenes the exclusive doctor of the Continental Hotel.

As for the reason for killing him, I don't think I need to explain it. ”

Eddie took the information and nodded, quickly recalling the movies and books he had seen about perfect crimes, coincidental murders, and so on.

Du Wei was very satisfied with Eddie's performance, and it was easy to talk to smart people.

Because the stakes have long been clearly divided in their hearts.

"By the way, if you need bodyguards, you've seen those two guys protecting me, right?

I need you to hire them, and then I'll hire ordinary killers to assassinate you while you're campaigning.

I'm sure you'll be able to dodge that assassination attempt with NZT-48, but it's not enough.

I want you to get grazed by a bullet and make the next day's newspaper headlines look like Eddie was a heroic survivor of the assassination.

At the same time, I want you to use security negligence as a reason to put pressure on the 3A security company to fire those two bodyguards, understand?

I needed them to have no job, and then we gave them a job, a more personal job. ”

Eddie nodded again, just as Dewey felt it was easy to talk to a smart person.

For Eddie, every word of Du Wei has a layout for the future.

He didn't even need to use his 99% brain to think about why, just nod his head and be done.

At this time, a thought suddenly popped into Eddie's mind, this is probably the so-called IQ suppression?

"Let's go, let's meet Walter White."
