Chapter 8 From now on, you will be called Ash
"It's called a pool, a product of the illegal cultivation of the human brain." Li Lin looked at the eyes of the spiral-shaped monster in front of him and said.
I've encountered this thing in the war zone before, but those drug lords are directly harvested from living human brains and cultivated to be used as processors and mining.
At that time, all the brains in those pools were crazy, and the tone of their speech was similar to the alarm he had just received, so Li Lin thought of this.
It's the first time I've seen something like this.
The ghost that Zhang Ou said is this thing?
While thinking, he quickly checked the situation of the pool in front of him, and said:
"The nutrient solution has been lost a lot, and the constant temperature environment has been destroyed, so the nutrient solution needs to be replenished immediately, otherwise it can only be shabu-shabu."
As he spoke, he picked up the executive next to him, patted his cheek and said with a smile:
"How many years can be sentenced to illegal human brain modification, you should understand it yourself, don't you need me to say more? What about nutrient solution? ”
The executive was obviously aware of the existence of the pool, and when he saw that the matter was revealed, his legs were weak, and he couldn't stand up, so he stretched out his hand and pointed to a cabinet next to him and said:
"In ...... There, it's all done by Mr. Yu, I don't know......"
Li Lin threw him down, found a bucket of nutrient solution in the cabinet, and was about to pour it in, then frowned, first emptied all the remaining nutrient solution inside, and then poured the new nutrient solution into it, and after rinsing, emptied the glass box again, and filled the nutrient solution inside.
The already very weak brain pool finally seemed much more comfortable at this time, and the eyes stared straight at Li Lin, although it looked terrifying, the eyes were extremely clear, releasing kindness.
Li Lin then adjusted the temperature control system of the incubator to normal again, and said to Zhao Ji:
"It's done, let Wu Ke and them come over, I guess Zhang Ou is likely to have activated the self-destruction system of the brain pool, preparing to suffocate this brain pool alive, there is a problem behind this project."
Zhao Ji had already sent out a message at this time, looked at the flesh and blood spiral existence and shuddered, and said:
"I've been afraid of octopuses since I was a child...... How did this thing look like this? Those eyes...... It's like having feelings...... I'm going to have a nightmare tonight...... Brother Li, have you encountered this thing before? ”
As he spoke, Zhao Ji leaned behind Li Lin, and he no longer had the stupid and bold appearance he had at the beginning.
Li Lin stabbed Zhao Ji with his elbow and said:
"What are you afraid of, don't bite, if I'm guessing correctly, this artificially cultivated brain has produced wisdom and already has self-awareness."
"The brainpools I encountered in the war zone at the beginning were all made directly from living people, and they were directly washed away by chemical means and used as biological computers, and many brains still have residual memories and consciousness......
"However, this kind of cultivation device is very easy to use, sometimes after we seize the equipment, we will make a few pieces of pig brain into it to cultivate, and it is enough to eat a meal of spicy brain flowers in a week."
Zhao Ji looked disgusted.
As Li Lin spoke, he found an external port on the cerebral pool device and plugged in his police communication.
Immediately, a faint electronic synthesized voice sounded in the loudspeaker of the police officer:
"Thank you...... Thank you for saving me...... That's what it is...... Is it realistic? ”
This electronic synthesized sound obviously has enough hardware resources, and it seems to be a little milky, much better than the hoarse voice that called the police before.
Li Lin grinned and said:
"This is the society, you are welcome to enter the society to accept friction, you are a key witness, you have to help us solve the case when you go back, my name is Li Lin, what is your name?"
Zhao Da on the side made a fuss and said:
"it, it can talk?"
Li Lin glanced at him:
"How fresh, this is an illegally modified brain, God knows how much technology has been added to wheat technology, in short, it is a super intelligence, much smarter than you, you have more brain capacity? It's several times more than ten times yours. ”
Zhao Ji was so shocked that he couldn't speak at this time, and Li Lin's police communication sounded the electronic synthesis voice that was a little milky again:
"Name? I don't have a name...... They say I'm Project Styx...... It's not a person's name......"
Li Lin waved his hand freely and said:
"That's simple, I'll give you one, as a super smart, you will be called Xiaozhi, and you will have a cheap name to feed."
Brain pool immediately rejoiced:
"Loved it...... My name is Ash. ”
Zhao Ji saw that his heart was furious at this time, and he dragged Li Lin aside and whispered:
"Brother Li, why are you still getting involved with him? It's a science monster...... It's so horrible......"
Li Lin frowned and said:
"Xiao Zhao, I have to talk about you, Xiao Zhi is a person with a miserable background, a human being! According to the current law, as long as the body is based on human structure, self-awareness and wisdom, can obtain human identity and corresponding equal rights, I will get him an ID card when I go back, it is not easy for children, ID photos are not good. ”
Zhao Ji's eyes are about to pop out, is this special mother about the ID photo?
Li Lin looked at him and sighed, shaking his head slightly:
"Zhao, just your transformation, I thought you were a geek, and your current reaction disappointed me."
"I'm ......" Zhao Ji snorted, and his face turned red instantly.
A rush of footsteps came, and Wu Dalong and Peng Xin hurried over.
Everyone also had a chill when they saw Xiao Zhi in their brains, but fortunately, they understood that this was definitely an important clue, and maybe it was the key to solving the case, and they were all overjoyed.
Li Lin explained the situation to them, and told them about the similar situation he had encountered before, said hello, and left the scene with Zhao Ji.
The current law does not need him to say more about the provisions of Xiaozhi, and the unit has a special legal department.
Seeing that it was already three or four o'clock in the morning, I was really tired after tossing for so long tonight, and I had to go back to rest.
At this time, Zhao Ji had already lost the arrogance he had when he first met Li Lin, and after greeting Li Lin, he drove away, and at the same time took Li Lin's police motorcycle.
Li Lin took a taxi and returned to a small apartment he rented in the Eastern District.
After all, the bus can't be used privately, and you still have to buy your own car when you go back.
Every inch of land is expensive in Midtown, and even if it's a small apartment, it's not cheap.
The apartment building is older than Li Lin's mobile phone, and it is an old-fashioned tower, and the people living in it are mainly young people who have just worked, graduate students who live alone, and office workers who work hard outside.
After verifying his identity at the door of the apartment building, Li Lin entered the elevator and came to the floor where he was.
As he was walking towards the door, a quarrel suddenly came.
I saw a girl with a graceful figure and a pretty face looking into the void in the corridor, her eyes were slightly red, and she was talking about something, obviously talking to someone in virtual reality through a brain-computer interface.
"I will definitely pay you back the money my dad owes, please give me a little time! I'm trying to make money! ”
"It's impossible for me to agree to the conditions you made before! This is my bottom line as a human being! ”
The girl's chest rose and fell with excitement, and her face became flushed, pitiful.
Hearing Li Lin's footsteps, the girl cut out of the call, turned her head to look at Li Lin, and hurriedly blushed and turned around to open the door of her house and walked in.
She lives next door to Li Lin.
Li Lin shrugged his shoulders and pushed the door into his house.
It's all about him.
Although the apartment of more than 30 square meters is small, it is very tidy inside.
As Li Lin entered, the holographic projection on the surrounding ceiling was activated, and a series of warm images were immediately projected, visually transforming the small apartment into a cozy farm cottage.
The fireplace is blazing, the indoor temperature is rising with the central air conditioning, and everything looks like the real thing.
Li Lin poured a glass of wine, sat down comfortably on the sofa, and looked towards the void in front of him.
Immediately, the holographic projector on the ceiling flickered, projecting a single image of a person into the void, while some words and images flashed between each figure.
If Zhao Ji was here, he would definitely show an expression of disbelief, because Li Lin didn't make any moves at all at this time, but all the smart devices in this room were serving him.
And those holograms in the void can only emerge through information transmission.
Even people with brain-computer interfaces are difficult to achieve such a perfect image interpretation.
And Li Lin is a natural person!
The image in the void is frozen, on the left is Wu Dalong, Zhao Ji, Liu Xunyue and other members of the competition investigation department, and on the right is Yu Bing, Wang Xuan, Zhang Ou, Xiaozhi and other relevant personnel of today's case.
This is a complex network of characters, and it is also a basic case structure diagram.
And in the center of all the figures, there is a poignant face.
Xia Lian.
Li Lin took a sip of the Sprite in the cup, let a ball of fiery wine syrup swim down his throat into his abdomen, and carefully looked at the information in front of him.
Judging from the clues obtained so far, Zhang Ou controlled Wang Xuan to kidnap Yu Bing, took the opportunity to oust Yu Bing, and became the CEO himself, and the ultimate goal is likely to destroy the illegal brain transformation project of Wheat Technology.
But why would he do it?
Who controlled him?
Li Lin thought that in the character relationship diagram in the void, a black human figure appeared behind Zhang Ou, with a big "X" written on his face.
This unknown X is the key to everything.
Li Lin was actually not very interested in this case, what really attracted him was Zhang Ou's provocative words at the end.
"I know you're ......" the voice resurfaced in Li Lin's mind.
The other party is in the dark, and he is in the light.
It's just that in terms of the amount of information on both sides, they are not completely exposed.
Li Lin pondered for a moment and looked to the other side of the void, where a legally binding document emerged.
If you really can't find any other clues in the end, you can only use this killing move to lure out the enemies that may exist in the shadows.
This document is one of the items left to him by Xia Lian.
It was a will about the full transfer of Xia Lian's shares in Lotus Technology to Li Lin.
