Chapter 188: Memory
"Sit inside."
Amari said as he plugged in some instruments into Kroger's brain and pointed to a device that looked like a game pod next to him.
Tang Ming sat in it.
Transparent glass windows descended.
In the middle of this is a small, off-white screen.
Inexplicably, he was given a kind of memory reading device in front of him, and the production date was in the eighties and nineties of the last century.
No way, some aspects of this game are really black technology, but some aspects are incompatible with these technologies.
It's like a perfect score in math, and the other subjects are all zero duck eggs.
"I'm going to start."
Seeing Tang Ming sit down, Amali reminded him aloud.
"Let's go, I'm ready."
Tang Ming said.
At the same time, I also have some expectations for this memory review.
It was something he hadn't tried yet.
Amali, who was outside the cabin door, heard Tang Ming's reply, and did not hesitate any longer, and connected the power supply to the machine in front of him.
"Zizizi~"
Suddenly, there was a sound of a soldering iron being placed on the pork.
Hearing this voice, Tang Ming looked at the screen in front of him, waiting for the picture to appear.
However, the picture does not appear, but Nick's ridicule is heard.
"Oh my God! The smell reminds me of barbecue at a party."
"How familiar is Amari's brain? How long will it take to eat?"
"Damn! I'll just say that the brains of the dead are not good."
After Nick's voice fell, Amari's voice was a little flustered.
When Tang Ming heard this, he looked sideways, and then saw that there were bursts of white smoke rising from Kroger's brain, which he had placed on the table.
From time to time, you can see a little spark bursting from above.
It looks like it's about to be ripe.
But Amalie cut off the power quickly enough to save Kroger's brain.
Tang Ming fell silent, and he didn't know whether to spit out or not.
In the end, I still didn't throw up.
Looking at the slowly rising glass hatch, he frowned and asked Amali in front of him:
"Isn't it okay?"
"You saw it, it's not that I don't want to help."
Amali shook her head:
"Don't even think about trying again, I'm afraid that someone will report me here, saying that I cook human brains."
"If this doesn't work, won't the clue be broken..."
Tang Ming muttered a sentence and looked at Nick, after all, this method was provided by the other party, if it weren't for the other party saying that he could extract the memories in other people's brains, he would not have trampled Kroger to death so decisively.
So right now, this pot Nick has to be back.
Nick looked at Tang Mingchao's own gaze, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
In desperation, I had to start thinking back to the useful information in my mind and see if I could find another way.
Not to mention, after some hard thinking, Nick really remembered something.
Without explanation, he walked quickly to Kroger's head and reached into it directly under Amari's disgusted gaze.
A moment later, a neural chip with countless tiny tentacles was pulled out of the white goo.
"Sure enough, there's this thing."
"What is this?"
Tang Ming asked if he didn't understand.
At this time, Amalia, who originally looked disgusted, showed a sudden look on his face after seeing the chip in Nick's hand, and at the same time opened his mouth to explain to Tang Ming:
….
"This is the information storage chip that the Academy has installed in the brain of a synthetic."
"It's easy for them to access useful information in the synth's mind at any time."
Speaking of this, Amali frowned again:
"However, most of these chips have a firewall set up by the academy, and if you want to read it, you have to break this firewall."
"Then have another synth load it as a medium, otherwise I wouldn't be able to read the information in it with just one chip."
"And even if the firewall is broken, whether there are still code traps set by the academy inside the chip is a matter of inevitability."
Amari said that this was just telling the two that it was difficult and that the process was dangerous.
"Amalia, I'm here to be the medium, I was originally produced by the academy, and the firewall shouldn't appear on me."
As Nick spoke, he was already lying on a chair beside him.
"Nick, show me the chip, maybe I can crack it directly."
Hearing that it was a hardware technical matter, Tang Ming sat up directly.
He knows this well.
"If you want this chip to be scrapped, then just try."
Before Nick could answer, Amari had already spoken.
If the academy's technology was really that easy to crack, it wouldn't be such a headache for the alliance.
"Amari, I'm not too sure, but probably no one in the entire Coalition knows more about the structure of synths than he does."
Seeing Amalia say this, Nick opened his mouth to relieve Tang Ming.
He had seen with his own eyes how Tang Ming turned enemies into friends.
Looking back on it now, he still feels incredible.
"Then don't blame me for not reminding you."
Amari was keen to get information about the Academy.
Because it would give her a lot of advantage in the league.
But at the moment, the clues were brought by Tang Ming and them, and she couldn't say anything.
He could only watch from the sidelines, as Tang Ming unwrapped the clues that he had finally found.
There are some scorch marks inside the chip, which should be caused by the current just now.
However, it did not hurt the body.
Under the gaze of the two.
Just watched Tang Ming's hands tinker, and somehow, after the chip was reinstalled by Tang Ming, it became the same.
In this scene, whether it is Amali or Nick, they are all enlarged by Tong Kong, and they look like they are ghosts.
"This, this, this..."
Amalia wanted to say something, but only that one word was uttered for a long time.
There is no way, the ability shown by Tang Ming really made her three views impact.
Nick, on the other hand, quickly came to his senses after the initial surprise.
After all, there has been a foreshadowing before, and it is reasonable to accept it quickly.
"Damn! What makes sense!"
Nick snapped in anger.
"Chip, why do you tell me you can rub your hands?"
"Funny anime is not as outrageous as you!"
"You don't have hands?"
Tang Ming shrugged, then lowered his head to check the chip in his hand, and then handed it to Amalia, who was still stunned on the side: "It should be able to read it directly now."
"Hurry up, hurry up, my wife is still waiting for me to go back for dinner."
….
"Ahhh Oh, oh."
Amari came back to his senses, nodded quickly, and began to operate.
However, looking at her expression, there is still a clear sense of absent-mindedness.
After all, she was a doctor, but the ability that Tang Ming showed just now was an illusion that made her feel that the science she had studied over the years was actually a scam.
"I must be dreaming."
"Yes, it must be..."
While she muttered like this, she also helped Tang Ming restart the machine.
The glass hatch closes slowly.
Just like before.
But it's different.
With a white light lit up.
The world in front of Tang Ming's eyes disappeared in an instant.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had entered
to a gray space.
In this space, the neurons of the brain seem to be magnified 100,000 times.
Connected like cobwebs, they fill the space.
The blue bioelectric suddenly lights up at one point and then goes out.
It's as if the neurons in front of you are still transmitting some kind of information.
"I can only read some of the more profound memories, so I'll help you find out the earliest ones you can recall."
When Tang Ming looked at the strange middle in front of him, Amari's voice suddenly sounded.
The voice came from all directions, as if it was a message to him through some medium.
And after her voice fell.
Tang Ming also found that there were some subtle changes in the space in front of him.
Far away, at the junction of the neural spider webs, a picture gradually takes shape.
It's like a pre-death look, fast-moving at a dizzying pace.
However, this speed, as Tang Ming approached, was constantly changing, and finally frozen.
Until his consciousness completely coincides with the vision of the protagonist of the memory, the gray world is suddenly infected with color, and the frozen picture begins to pass again.
It was a dilapidated room.
Kroger sat on the bed and looked at the various posters in his hand.
There was a rustling sound on the radio.
The weather is broadcast on the day.
"What was Kroger's childhood?"
Tang Ming looked in the direction from which the voice came, and the radio was placed on a small wooden table, and a woman was sitting on the sofa next to her, also holding something in her hand
"Turn off the damn radio! I'm sleeping!"
Just as Tang Ming was thinking about what to do next, there was a violent voice next door to the room.
Because he was from Kroger's point of view at the moment, it was clear that the owner of this voice was the other party's father.
An alcoholic who only plays drunk all day long.
And with the 'father', the angry scolding ended.
Kroger's heart sounded in Tang Ming's mind.
'Mom knows what the world is all about, she's not gentle, but she loves me in her own way. ,
In order to protect me from being hurt by my father, she was often beaten herself. ,
I don't know what I'm going to do if I leave her, I never know. ,
..
Seeing this, Tang Ming decisively withdrew, this was not what he was looking for.
"Help me find other memories."
….
Tang Ming tried to speak to Amalia.
He wasn't quite sure if Amali would be able to hear him in this situation.
But fortunately, Amalia could, and quickly replied to him:
"Okay, let me see... Well, now it's okay, now you should be able to see it, it should be near you."
Under Amari's guidance, Tang Ming quickly found the new memory in the other party's mouth.
It's a picture of Kroger growing up, in the kitchen, cooking with a woman named Sarah.
If he hadn't met me, he might still be living in a big city, instead of associating with a man who kills people for a living..,
Listening to Kroger's inner monologue, it seems that he feels very guilty about this woman named Sarah.
"Damn, if you die, you can still be fed a mouthful of dog food, I really take it."
Seeing this, Tang Ming scolded and wanted to withdraw from the memory fragment in front of him.
However, the next moment, the words that came out of the mouth of the woman named Sarah on the side made him pause.
"We don't know any of us here, and now we're going to have a baby..."
"Baby? Shane?"
Tang Ming stopped his movements and continued to listen to the conversation between the two in the picture.
"Sarah, we should take this opportunity."
"They gave me a stable job, and I just had to do what they were told to do."
"I didn't mean that—" Sarah left the stove with a sad face and sat down at the back table:
"Are you sure these guys know what they're doing? They seem to be a little. Greed?"
"Don't worry, as long as I am strong in my hands, you and Malu will be fine, and when I build up my power, I believe that our future life will definitely become happy..."
"Malu?"
Tang Ming frowned, and the next moment he also saw the baby in the stroller through Kroger's sight.
Not Shane he was looking for.
Seeing this, Tang Ming could only withdraw from this memory and let Amali continue to help find other memory fragments.
Explore uncharted areas.
The process of taking on the assassination mission.
..
Tang Ming didn't know how many memory pictures he had watched.
Until he came to a new memory picture.
It was a woman who was being protected by two synths.
The other party's expression was very arrogant.
Seeing this, Tang Ming knew that he had finally found the memory of the academy.
"Mr. Kroger, the fact that you came to meet us shows that you are a smart man."
Hearing the woman's words, Kroger was silent for a moment before he spoke, "So, you're really an academic... It's just that I want to see for myself if you people really exist."
"It's like a fake."
"What do you want to do?"
"Your recent actions have caused a lot of damage to our setup."
"Just give money."
"If I do things for you, then the problem will disappear, and I know you can afford to pay for it."
Hearing Kroger's words, the academy woman's face turned cold directly:
"Looks like you don't know where you are, b7-48 deal with him!"
The moment the words fell, the two synths beside her instantly took action.
….
Kroger, however, moves faster than the two synths.
Killed two synths in an instant.
After doing all this, don't forget to take a puff of the cigarette in your hand.
"Damn, he pretended to be there."
Seeing this, Tang Ming sighed, feeling a little unhappy.
However, this is just a memory, and he can't do anything about it, so he can only continue to watch what happens next.
As he expected, the academy woman decisively confessed.
「... Looks like we can talk."
The screen jumps.
A familiar scene appeared in front of Tang Ming's eyes.
It was Vault 111, where he had been shot in the head by Kroger.
This is the end of the picture.
"There's still a memory fragment from this time period."
Amari spoke, "Accessing."
Amari's voice fell.
Tang Ming saw the room where Kroger had lived when he was in Diamond City before.
A boy in a white horse striped shirt sits on the ground and reads some books.
At the age of seven or eight, Tang Ming wasn't quite sure if this was Shane after he had grown up.
In this scene, Kroger receives a mission from the Academy to hunt down the PhD who defected from the Academy.
"Brian, he should be hiding in the Glowing Sea."
"Find him and annihilate him directly, he is suspected of the most classified plan."
"Damn! He's at the top?"
Kroger heard this information with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"And I'm going to take Shane away."
Assign a task to Kroger
walked over to Shane's side.
While Tang Ming was wondering if he was wasting time again, what happened to Shane and the academy stalker in front of him made his eyes widen instantly.
You're pushing me
