Chapter 10: Torture

Hearing the arrogant declaration of the system, Lin Jie's applause froze.

Wen Lixing's tone was still so lazy and casual: "Oh, yes? But I'm not worried about the system at all. If it's too late for you to run away now, I'll give you a chance. ”

The system was annoyed by his arrogant attitude, and snorted coldly: "Host, I also gave you a chance, but you don't know how to cherish it." ”

As soon as it finished speaking, a piercing hum sounded in Wen Lixing's head, and the pitch kept rising. The hum was like a circuit feedback between the microphone and the speaker, but it was sharper and more unbearable than that.

Lin Jie could intercept the conversation between the system and Zhuang Li, and naturally he could hear this kind of humming. As an indirect victim, he hurriedly held his forehead and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from exhaling in pain.

Wen Lixing, who directly used his cranial cavity to bear this kind of scream, just closed his eyes and waited quietly.

If it weren't for the fact that his slender fingertips no longer turned the ballpoint pen, but tightly tugged on the barrel, Lin Jie almost thought that he didn't feel it.

Seeing Wen Lixing rolling in dissatisfaction and not wailing and begging for mercy, the system felt very unaccomplished.

It threatens further: "Host, whether you want it or not, I have forcibly bound you. Oh, and one more thing I forgot to tell you is that after binding, if you can't complete the mission, I can wipe you out. ”

The scream in his mind was far away, and Wen Lixing began to turn the ballpoint pen slowly and skillfully again. He is indifferent to the so-called obliteration.

Lin Jie suddenly remembered that An Bao'er's system had also said things like erasure. If these systems come from a higher dimension, then they do have the ability to destroy a single life.

Lin Jie's hand on his knee couldn't help but clench into a fist, and his worried gaze frequently swept to the curly-haired girl beside him. He knew his behavior was suspicious, but he couldn't help it.

The system still didn't get the expected response, and couldn't help but raise the volume: "Host, did you hear what I said?" ”

Wen Lixing lazily lifted her eyelids, but her tone was full of provocation: "Wipe me out? Then you try it. ”

The system was completely enraged, and shouted: "Host, your emotional intelligence is really low, and you can't even do the most basic judgment of the situation. As your system, it is my responsibility to teach you. ”

As soon as it finished speaking, a sizzling sound of electricity sounded in Wen Lixing's mind.

Lin Jie didn't know what the system was doing, but he could deduce what happened to the other party from the curly-haired girl's reaction.

The girl's pen fell, and her hands pressed hard against the tabletop, as if she was holding back something. The back of his white hand gushed out blue veins, and the rapid flow of blood made these veins fluctuate slightly, which was a reaction to extreme pain.

The system is destroying the girl's body!

This realization made Lin Jie forget to hide his abnormality, and immediately wanted to send the girl to the hospital, but suddenly found that his legs were in a plaster cast, and he couldn't even stand up.

He immediately took out his mobile phone and texted the bodyguard standing outside the conference room, and just typed the words "you come in", but heard the curly-haired girl laugh in his head.

His hand was under Lin Jie's eyes, and the cyan blood vessels were hidden under the white skin, like clouds dyed with smoke and rain, and like white jade stained with blood, which was shockingly beautiful. However, it is such a pair of hands that reveals the girl's pain.

But his laughter was so light-hearted, without the slightest hint of recklessness, and he laughed and laughed, and he gasped briefly, not as if he was enduring pain, but as if he was enjoying pleasure.

Lin Jie was stunned, and then goosebumps all over his body. He had a gut feeling that the laughter was strange, but he couldn't say exactly what it was.

He began to fidget, forgetting to send the text message calling for a bodyguard.

The system angrily asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Ha~Ha......" Wen Lixing smiled again and again, sweat dripping on her forehead, but her pale skin was dyed a layer of crimson at some point, and even the narrow eyes were squinting with a slanted red.

Lin Jie only glanced at it and quickly shifted his gaze, his Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly felt his mouth dry. He tore open his silver-gray tie and unbuttoned two more shirts, so that he felt less rapid breathing.

Judging by the girl's reaction, it seems that he did not lose in the confrontation.

The system is still shouting: "Host, is the taste of electric shock too enjoyable?" Don't hide your pain with laughter, it's too late to beg for mercy. Tell you, I can not only shock your body, but also wipe out your soul, you better listen to me honestly. ”

"Electric shock to my body, are you sure?" Wen Lixing propped up the table with both hands and silently hooked her lips: "If it's a real electric shock, my skin should show burning marks." ”

He curled his fingertips.

Lin Jie's gaze was immediately attracted by these slender, jade-white, but slightly pink fingers at the top.

Wen Lixing pressed her fingertips and continued, "But my skin doesn't have a single scar, what does this indicate?" ”

It's coming, it's coming, and the feeling of eating deflated is here again! The system gritted its teeth in hatred.

Wen Lixing chuckled, "This shows that the pain of the electric shock is just an illusion, and it can neither destroy my brain nor harm my body." ”

The sizzling sound of the current was still echoing in the girl's brain, but Lin Jie's hanging heart slowly fell to the ground. It's just an illusion, and he unconditionally trusts the girl's judgment.

"Is it a hallucination, and you're still in such pain?" The system reluctantly asks rhetorically.

"Do you want me to explain how this works? You used a tiny electrical current to strengthen the connection between my nucleus accumbens and my prefrontal cortex, which can cause intense pain if these two brain regions are overloaded. This pain is just a signal, not a substantial lesion, and it doesn't hurt my body at all. ”

After saying these words, Wen Lixing lowered her head and searched for something.

Lin Jie immediately bent down and helped him pick up the ballpoint pen.

He whispered thanks, but he didn't even give Xuan Ming a straight look, and finally began to turn his pen again, no longer paying any attention to the system in his brain and the pain in his body.

The system was extremely frustrated, and said in a deep voice: "What if it's an illusion? Your pain is real, and I don't believe you can carry it! ”

It increases the connection between the two brain regions and makes the pain more painful.

This time, the ballpoint pen on Wen Lixing's fingertips did not fall, but the beads of sweat on his forehead were a little finer.

Lin Jie looked over with a frown. Although he can't empathize with the girl, he can intuitively see the system's strong revenge from the ever-increasing sound of electricity. It tries to bring the man to his knees with brutal means.

A great anger filled Xuan Ming's heart.

But Wen Lixing gasped and chuckled: "Do you only have this ability, system?" ”

The light blue ballpoint pen spun and jumped on his fingertips, like a blooming flower, which showed his calmness and stability, and also showed that he was in control of victory.

Lin Jie's gaze couldn't take his eyes off the young man.

The system constantly stimulates the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex.

The sound representing endless pain has been ringing in Wen Lixing's mind and Lin Jie's ears.

A few minutes later, Lin Jie held his sweaty forehead, took out his mobile phone, and was about to send a message to the bodyguard again. As a bystander, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Wen Lixing gently put down the ballpoint pen and smiled wantonly: "Why is the pain of the electric shock getting weaker and weaker?" System, shouldn't it be your conscience? ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the disturbing sizzling sound disappeared completely.

The system snorted coldly: "Today's lesson is profound enough, right? Do the task obediently in the future, or I'll kill you! ”

Lin Jie put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief without a trace. If the girl chooses to compromise and accept the task, he can understand and even cooperate. Participated in the confrontation between the girl and the system throughout the whole process, and it was difficult for him to have a bad feeling for the other party.

Wen Lixing was stubborn, shook his head, and chuckled: "Then you better kill me now." ”

Lin Jie, who was ignored by the girl to the end, was in a very complicated mood.

The system gritted its teeth and said, "Host, believe it or not, I really killed you!" ”

Wen Lixing leaned back in the chair, her slender legs folded together, and replied lazily: "I don't believe it." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll wipe you out right away!" After a familiar sizzling sound, the system's mechanical-scented voice reverted to its original inorganic metallic voice: "The erasure program has been activated, and after ten seconds, the host's soul will disappear forever, ten, nine, ......"

Time passed quickly, Lin Jie clenched his fists, but he couldn't do anything. He really wanted to take the girl's place and agree.

Wen Lixing shook her toes and sighed in her mind: "Stop bluffing, system." Now you don't have the strength to do me any harm. Your intelligence is higher than that of humans, but you are still a machine at the end of the day, and what is the core of the machine? ”

The system just counts down, and it looks very cold.

Wen Lixing smiled disapprehantly, "The core of the machine is power. Without motivation, you can't do anything. Now, let me analyze how much power reserve you still have. ”

The countdown of the system suddenly trembled, like a disc scraped by a fingertip.

Wen Lixing curled her thin lips and analyzed unhurriedly: "When you set off, your energy was full, that is, 100; From the high-dimensional space to the three-dimensional space, you need to break through the dimensional wall, and the energy consumed must be not small, I guess at least 60, because for any kind of technological civilization, it is not easy to travel through time and space. ”

"Once you're in 3D, you need to find the right mission objectives. In the process of searching, you must scan all the time periods of the world and pick the strongest one from all the time spawns. And from the origin of mankind to the extinction of mankind, I conservatively estimate that it will take at least five million years. ”

Wen Lixing shook his white palm, "You have to scan and test them one by one for five million years, and the energy consumed is as little as 10 and as much as 20." I'll count you 10. ”

The system unconsciously stopped counting down and silently clutched its energy bank.

Lin Jie was fascinated by what he heard.

Wen Lixing continued: "To find the right mission target, you still have to enter his era, which requires a certain amount of energy. I guess there should be 5. ”

"At this point, your energy is well below safe levels, and you must find a host to help you get closer to the mission objective."

Wen Lixing stretched out his slender index finger and gently swiped the work card on his chest: "The host can't be picked at random, because it's not conducive to you completing the task if it's far away, so you'll float in the air and slowly look for the right person." ”

"Don't forget, you are a product of four dimensions, and in three-dimensional space you will be squeezed by the dimensional wall and fail, so you have to prop up a plasma wall, that is, a force field, to protect yourself. The support of the force field requires a very huge amount of energy, so how much of the remaining 25 was used by you later? 20? ”

The system sizzled in horror.

Wen Lixing hooked her lips and smiled: "It seems that I guessed right." So, before binding with me, you only have 5 energy left. If you want to get into my brain, you have to break through my protective mechanism first. ”

Wen Lixing pointed to his eyebrows and sighed, "Although your level of technology is very high, the human brain is also a miracle place. In order to protect this miracle, the human brain has produced a protective film similar to a plasma wall, which is called the blood-brain barrier, which can block harmful substances in the blood from entering the brain, so hemogram technology cannot be carried out in the human brain alone. ”

"Because of the blood-brain barrier, humans know less about their own brains than they do about the planet. You must have expended some energy in breaking through this barrier, I guess there should be 1, right? ”

The sizzling sound emitted by the system suddenly became louder, and then immediately suppressed, as if to cover something.

Lin Jie frequently looked at the girl beside him with amazed eyes, but unfortunately the other party didn't notice him at all.

"Once you're in my brain, you're going to bind yourself to me. You didn't need to expend any energy in the process, because if I agreed, you would naturally melt into my consciousness and lay dormant in my brain. But I didn't agree, so you forcibly bound it. ”

Wen Lixing rubbed her temples, her expression a little tired, "I admit that it doesn't feel good to be forcibly bound, but you should be more miserable than me, right?" Because you have to adjust your brain waves to exactly the same as mine in order to smoothly integrate into my consciousness body, and how powerful my consciousness is, you must have experienced it just now. ”

The system snorted and quickly shut up.

Lin Jie almost burst out laughing. The system, which was extremely arrogant just now, is now like a dog cub who has been beaten to the point that he can't take care of himself.

"How much energy did it cost you to forcibly merge into my consciousness body? 3Is there any? Wen Lixing shook his head and sighed: "And the remaining 1 was wasted by your few electric shocks." ”

Wen Lixing spread her hands, raised her eyebrows, and smiled like a fox: "That's why I said that I wasn't worried about your forcible binding at all." What are you doing to erase me now? ”

"Of course, I've also considered whether your Lord God will equip you with an auto-recharge program that will give you the ability to fight back. But the first time you communicated with me, you exposed your biggest weakness. ”

The system asked with a sad face, "What did I say wrong?" ”

Lin Jie also pricked up his ears to listen.

Wen Lixing replied, "You used one word - activation. This shows that you were on standby until you met me. What is the purpose of standby? It's energy saving. Why save energy? Because there is not much energy. In this world, you have no way to replenish your energy automatically, you can only wait for the host to save you. ”

The system sobbed.

Lin Jie let out a long breath. The IQ of 310 is really extraordinary!

Wen Lixing nodded her eyebrows and pronounced the sentence: "So you see, my brain is not your comfort zone, but a prison, and you can't get out after you come in." I gave you a chance to escape, but you don't know how to cherish it. ”

Remembering the warning issued by the host before binding, the system burst into tears.

Lin Jie almost laughed heartily in front of all the shareholders. Fortunately, he covered his mouth in time and turned his laughter into a cough.

Qiao Yanan on the podium stopped speaking, his face worried.

Wen Lixing didn't look at the "sick" man sitting next to him, and only declared seriously in his mind: "Cherish the quiet time now, sooner or later, I will dismantle you with my own hands." ”

Lin Jie stretched out his hand and applauded slowly.

Wonderful! It's so exciting!
