Chapter 963: The Liberator
Researchers at the Coalition Government's Psionic Research Institute believe that near-death experiences can greatly stimulate the body's psionic energy, leading to the birth of the infamous stimulant experiment.
However, this series of experiments often encounters a common problem - it only lives once, and it is not a recyclable item.
Of course, researchers don't apologize for the lives lost in experimental devices, in the parlance of their profession, for the sake of science, and humanity will remember their contributions, and what really makes them sad is that the dead will no longer be able to speak and communicate their experiences at the time of the near-death moment to them.
They thought that if the dead could be allowed to speak, there would be a breakthrough in the study of psionic powers.
And now, the installation that came before their eyes did just that.
Trapped in the device, Vadim will not only be able to leave a message for himself after his death, but will also be able to do it all over again.
It's like a one-life game, but not every death is meaningful.
Before lighting the light that represented nothingness, Vadim had experienced 12 meaningless deaths.
"Yungang Biopharmaceutical ......"
Through repeated observations, Qi He also gained a certain understanding of the experimental facilities.
He was convinced that the laboratory had once existed, somewhere near the oasis.
Yungang Biopharmaceuticals is a member of the Lagus Foundation, and after the total ban on human experiments, the company moved more than 70% of its laboratories to the "outside world", which is a beneficial option for the company.
The "outside" is not governed by the laws of the coalition government, and the cost of experimentation is lower.
Qi He remembers that he happened to hear a conversation at an annual meeting of the company, a representative of the company who had returned from the "outside world" and was telling his former friends in a surprised tone that the "labor costs" of showing off the "outside world" were so low that human trafficking was a legal industry licensed by local governments in many countries.
It is also in this environment that the experiments of Yungang Biopharmaceutical have advanced by leaps and bounds, until the emergence of the "Devourer" project.
"The head of the Devourer project is Medell, the former director of the 'outside' executive department of Yungang Biopharmaceutical, and after the accident broke out, the company put all the blame on her, claiming that she abused her power during her work and concealed the research projects she was engaged in from the company."
Quiet held the tablet in her hand, and easily investigated the personal information about Medell.
In an attempt to bring the abusive director to justice, the company applied to the Foundation for a search and arrest team, claiming that Medell was likely in possession of deadly chemical weapons, so she was killed on the spot and her body was brought back to the company's headquarters as soon as it was discovered.
"At that time, the search ended in failure, Medell lost contact in the 17th district, and there is a grapevine that she went to a black clinic in order to get rid of the tracking equipment installed in her body by the company, but finally died on the operating table, and her prosthetic body was dismantled by the doctors of the black clinic and sold on the black market."
This was not uncommon in border cities like the Seventeenth District, and for a long time afterward, Yungang Biopharma defined Medell as dead.
"Until two months ago, Yungang Biopharmaceutical once again received news about Medell, which was related to the Void incident that was in a uproar at that time."
"I've heard of it, too."
Qi He was noncommittal, and the six-star alternate wind chime lost its voice during that period.
For this reason, Yungang Biopharmaceutical also lost several "guards", and the operation of District 17 failed, and they submitted an application to the Foundation again, hoping to send a six-star rescuer to investigate the Void, and finally this proposal was rejected by the Council, and then Yungang Biopharmaceutical's further investigation of Medell was not closed.
"It is said that the last time they saw Medell, she had mutated and had many insect features, but the strange thing is that she did not lose her mind like the other deviants, and not only was she able to communicate normally, but she also designed and calculated the company."
"Maybe District 17 is also engaged in related experiments."
Gustav suddenly spoke, "The last time I went to District 17, I always felt that something was wrong. β
"Anomaly?"
"The intuition of the psychics...... Quiet, haven't you noticed something after all this time in the 17th arrondissement? β
"It's bugs."
Quietly stretched out his hand and gestured the size of the insect with his thumb and forefinger, "The people of District 17 call them hornworms, they are about this size, they are equipped with a large number of prostheses on their bodies, and they also have camera functions, these hornworms are secretly cooperating with the actions of the law enforcement department. β
"Movable monitoring probes, I didn't expect them to even be able to domesticate insects."
Gustav was amazed, "It's really quiet, I didn't expect that even this kind of thing was investigated by you, and I announce that you are now the ace spy of the organization!" β
"It was Anfia who told me that they didn't intend to hide the existence of hornworms from me in the first place."
Rather than friendship or trust, Quiet feels more like a sign of absolute confidence.
She had always felt that there was something more terrible hidden in that city, that its current existence was like a barrier between the Coalition Government and the "outside world", where neither the Council nor the Resistance had much to gain, and that in the past few months there had been countless people who had proved the end of the troubles in the 17th arrondissement.
"Devourers are terrifying."
Qi He looked at Vadim, who had launched the 24th challenge in the device, and he always felt that the situation of the three of them was not fundamentally different from the people in the vessel, "Maybe it is a bridge between machinery, psionic energy and body." β
"Seriously, why the hell are we here in this kind of place?"
Gustav prefers to focus on the present rather than scientific exploration.
They had been in this cell for several days since they arrived in Section D, and although the prison people provided them with good meals every day and did their best to meet their needs, it was strictly forbidden to hang out, and before coming to this room, they were blindfolded with black cloths, and had no way of telling what this place was.
Gustav only vaguely speculated that the facility was underground.
This prison has always been full of weirdness, maybe Qi He is right, since the moment they entered the prison, they have actually fallen into the same unknown false world as Vadim, but Vadim in the device is deeper than them.
"The arrangement of the council, the request of the Q2 faction, is nominally for us to follow up on the progress of military technology."
"Hasn't military technology always been very reluctant for outsiders to interfere in their internal projects?"
"That's right."
Qi He shrugged his shoulders, "So you can also understand it as house arrest, after all, when we were in the fourth district, we completely offended military technology." β
"Not including me, when you provoked military technology, I went to school in the seventeenth district as my duty."
Quiet found the right moment to cut into the conversation between the two.
Obviously, the matter of offending the company has nothing to do with her, but she was temporarily regarded as a strong man by Qi He, and she came to this kind of place to suffer together.
Harm people and fine Qi River.
"Quiet!"
Qi He and Gustav raised their voices in unison, startling Quiet, "What are you doing?" What are you yelling at all of a sudden? β
"You've learned to complain!"
"And it's going to turn over the fish's eyes!"
As he spoke, a flash of light struck the silence.
Qi He recorded the rare silence (dead fish eye version) in his mobile phone in time.
The two of them suddenly showed a look of relief like an old father, it seemed that sending Tranquility to study in the 17th district was one of the wisest decisions they had ever made, and the former autistic girl opened her heart under the influence of her peers, and finally showed her cheerful side like a child of this age.
"I've decided, when we get out of here, you'll go back to Newster school!"
Qi He clapped the road.
Even if the decision is strongly opposed by the council, he must work hard.
Psionic people are by no means tools of the company, and they should also have a normal human life.
Qi He knew that this sentence sounded like a promise made by an unscrupulous boss when he drew a big pie, even though he, as a representative of the Foundation, had to obey the orders of the Council.
But as the saying goes, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
It's like what happened at Wisteria Academy not long ago.
It was an important "talent reserve center" of the Foundation, and with his identity and position, he could not interfere with the decision-making of the Wisteria Academy, but he was able to be flexible and find an unstable bomb to go to the academy under the name of visiting and explode with them.
Just as he expected, the public opinion turmoil had serious consequences for Wisteria Academy, at least in the short term, they could no longer use those inhumane experiments on students.
And Song Lan, as always, he played the function of a self-detonating truck, and he was still the kind of person who could walk out of the door of someone else's house as if no one was around after exploding others.
"Didn't anyone tell you that it was unlucky?"
The silence of the spit type appeared again.
When she was a student in Neust, Amphia instilled in her many strange things, including the importance of not setting up flags during big events.
Every time they have a holiday, Song Lan will teach their children the importance of not setting up flags.
Often only those characters who usually keep a low profile and are often not very showy in the event can live happily to the finale.
She emphasized, "After waiting for xxxx, xxxx is the most typical Flag sentence, don't use it indiscriminately in the future, I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life." β
"Mmmm, I understand, you must be nostalgic for the days when you went to school with other children."
"I didn't."
"Don't quibble, that's what a kid your age should do."
"Qi He is a harmful and naΓ―ve ghost."
Quiet responded to Qi He with practical actions, she took out the notebook she had always carried with her, flipped to one of the pages, and added a new setting for him after Qi He's name.
What is written in a notebook is the history that has been confirmed to have happened in the world.
It's just that Jing Jing never thought that he would one day use his abilities in the quarrels and anger of elementary school students.
She was probably influenced by Amphia.
"So quiet big sister, that's it."
"Whose sister do you call?"
This shout of "big sister" made her goosebumps rise, she hurriedly opened the notebook, erased the setting of "childish ghost", and after completing this series of actions, her heart was still beating violently.
This is clearly a mental attack, and its pollution is even as strong as that of the Devourer.
Gustav realized that the consequences of this conversation would be dire, and he had to step forward to bring the topic to the table, "Seriously, Qi He, why are you going against the Foundation?" β
This is actually the question he has always wanted to ask the other party all this time.
In retrospect, he used the Foundation's resources to establish an organization of psionic abilities and gather the outstanding graduates of Wisteria Academy around him, perhaps in preparation for a falling out with the Foundation one day.
This is destined to be a life-and-death path.
Just in the fourth district, Qi He almost lost his life in the sea of souls, and now he is under house arrest by the council in this kind of place, I don't know when he will see the light of day again.
According to the nature of prisons, the prospects for their release from prison are not promising.
That's why Gustav couldn't figure it out.
The representative of the Foundation, the member of the Board of Directors, the permanent member of the Council, any of these identities are coveted by countless people, as long as Qi He maintains this position steadily, he can enjoy all the glory and wealth of this world.
But he had to deal with the Foundation.
And this is most likely an idea that came from the day Qi He joined the Foundation.
"I've answered this question many times."
Qi He said.
"Why don't I remember?"
"How so? When I invited you to join the Order, I said to each and every one of you, if you really want to hear it, I will say it again, everything I do is for the liberation of the Psychics. β
"Qi He, I'm serious, what you said is the organization's propaganda slogan."
Gustav changed his previous attitude and his tone was a little more serious.
Advocacy is what companies do best, and every company is promoting everything they do to make tomorrow better.
Although he was not used to the foundation and the company, and had been offered a sky-high reward by the coalition government, he felt that he at least had the right to know if he wanted to give his life for a cause.
For example, what exactly did they want to do against the Foundation, and to come to this place at great risk.
"For the liberation of the psychics."
Qi He also accentuated his tone, this answer has not changed from beginning to end, "This is my serious answer. β
He looked at the device.
Wadim, who was on his 24th journey, had just gotten into the drain, and this time, he should have known that someone had set a trap on the door.
"Of course, that includes here."
Small Theatre Its Three Hundred and Thirty-One:
Wednesday of a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, in the morning
Intuition told the chairman that there were some problems with the plan to boil frogs in warm water, but in order to stabilize Song Lan and increase his enthusiasm to attend the meeting, the council finally approved Song Lan's proposal.
In the run-up to the festival, each department has also partnered with the Iris Consortium to provide three places for each department.
After the decision was made, the presiding officer regretted it.
Because it is difficult for him to convince himself with reason, the only thing he can do now is to believe in Lu Xiang.
I believe that she is still the trustworthy head of the counterintelligence department, and she will never neglect her duties.
On the other side, Song Lan was also surprised, "I didn't expect you to really be able to convince the speaker!" β
He didn't have any hope of approving the vacation, and the original plan was to leave it for a month to recuperate after the vacation proposal was rejected.
"The food festival is a fine tradition, and people should have the opportunity to experience it."
As he spoke, Lu Xiang was already packing his luggage.
RT6 sent her an invitation, and just last month, she and Emperor opened a burger joint that has been awarded a two-star review of mayonnaise, one step closer to their ultimate goal.
"My mission is done, it's up to you next."
"What's my turn?"
"The number of judges for the food festival."
Lu Xiang said in a reasonable tone, "You have a friendly relationship with the Iris Foundation, and it shouldn't be a problem to ask them how many places they want." β
"You mean I demolished their house before I left last time?"
"In your words, it's called not fighting, not knowing each other."
