When Mr. Liang returned to the basement of the Shouwang Building, he saw John sitting on the ground against the wall, staring at the wooden sculpture of a rabbit that had been placed on the platform in the middle of the hall, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mr. Liang broke away from his stealth state, walked to the platform, picked up the rabbit wood carving that didn't look like it had changed, and asked, "What's wrong?"

John was startled, and seemed to have just realized that Mr. Liang had returned, pointed to the wood carving in his hand, and said with some surprise: "It...... There's something wrong with it! There's an evil spirit in it!"

As he spoke, John hurriedly reported to Mr. Liang what happened last night, his own experience, and the key points, including how the light flashed, how he saw the piece of rabbit meat, and how the rabbit meat disappeared without warning, etc.

Mr. Liang was not surprised, but nodded in appreciation: "Very good, you have already begun to feel its special features." ”

He knew that "blood-eating creatures" didn't need to sleep under normal circumstances, and John didn't have time to eat and drink blood, although the old vampires of "Red Rose" had a secret method of sleep that could be used to extend the limit of the stage, but it was not something that could be used anytime and anywhere, and it was impossible for John to waste time asleep within the 40-day period, so he didn't see rabbit meat in his dream, but was affected by hallucinations in reality.

This situation was encountered by Fang Pingfang in the research base laboratory of Baoxuan City and Antie Town.

John can be said to prove that the hallucinatory effect of this wood carving is not only effective for ordinary humans, but also for "blood-eating creatures".

"Tell me more about it, how did you trigger that rabbit hallucination?" asked Mr. Liang.

"How did you cause ......" John was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly, "I bit its ear." ”

"Oh?" said Mr. Liang, who picked up the rabbit carving, grinned, and took one of the rabbit's ears into his mouth—in fact, he could easily swallow the whole carving.

After a few symbolic bites on the ear, Mr. Liang took out the wood carving and asked, "Is that so?"

John was already stunned, he hadn't seen Mr. Liang's mouth completely open before, and the visual impact was really a little big, so when Mr. Liang repeated it again, he reacted and quickly nodded: "That's it, that's it...... Take a bite. ”

However, it was clear that Mr. Liang's operation did not elicit similar feedback, so he threw the rabbit wood carving to John: "You bite it." ”

John looked at the rabbit ear that had been "bitten" by Mr. Liang, hesitated for a moment, and chose the other ear to bite down, and this time there was no vision.

Mr. Liang was not surprised or disappointed, after all, when Fang Pingfang suffered from rabbit meat hallucinations before, he did not bite rabbit ears, and the so-called hallucinations after biting rabbit ears should just be a coincidence.

"What do you think about the connection between wood carving and hallucination, and the mechanism by which it is triggered?" Mr. Liang asked.

John repeated his previous words: "There's an evil spirit in this......! It could be a rabbit or something else, but it has the power to point directly at the soul and affect the spirit. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to think that using "rabbit" to describe this so-called evil spirit sounded intimidating and terrifying, so John hurriedly gave some examples, such as Annabelle, Ghost Wachaji, etc., and proposed to send wood carvings to Europe and try to use some "legendary" methods to "purify" the plan.

However, Mr. Liang has not seen these film and television works, but only adds to his confusion. In fact, his previous description had already made Mr. Liang fully understand what was happening, and he already knew that he was not lightly frightened.

"Do you think there is a connection between the rabbit meat illusion you saw and the eight-armed giant illusion of Montamira?" Mr. Liang asked suddenly.

John was stunned, and Mr. Liang did not seem to accept his analysis of the "evil spirit theory", but directly gave another idea.

Thinking about it along these lines, combined with his interrogation of some visionary witnesses in Montamira, the vision he experienced last night, and some brain supplements, he found himself unfolding a more strange and profound "picture".

Seeing that John was looking down and thinking, Mr. Liang did not urge, walked to the only position in the hall and sat down, re-entered the incognito state, and called up the computer screen to check the briefings sent by the various bases and the teams outside that "Tai'a" had organized.

These briefings are usually phased results or routine reports, and there will be no too urgent incidents, otherwise the research bases and teams will contact him directly through the communicator he has on his side.

Before reviewing the briefing, Mr. Liang asked "Taia" to conduct a security self-inspection of himself and made sure that there was no problem with hardware or software, access control and network security everywhere.

Judging from John's earlier description of Pingfang, the rabbit wood carving will have a certain degree of influence and interference with the surrounding electronic equipment and power facilities when it affects people and produces illusions, and its generation should be related to the magnetic field, which is similar to the surrounding environmental impact when Montamira's eight-armed giant illusion appeared on the night of March 8, which is one of the reasons why he associated the rabbit wood carving with the eight-armed giant illusion.

However, Mr. Liang does not have any worries about the security facilities and system security of this place, and the worst case is that it is just a part of the hardware that is damaged, and the important data is stored in multiple servers in multiple places in their private line network. The most core and confidential data is sealed, not connected to the network at all, there is no power, even if it is EMP, unless it breaks through to the inside of the sealed space, it is difficult to cause substantial damage.

Since "Taia" judged that there is no problem, it is no problem, and Mr. Liang has absolute confidence in the AI system that he led and watched the development and iteration all the way to the present.

The so-called "Tai'a", is one of the legendary ten famous swords in our country, is a mighty sword, invisible, traceless, sword energy exists in heaven and earth, when the time, the place, the people and the three ways are all at one time, Tai'a is a success-Ou Yezi and the cadre said that they are just the "porters" of the sword qi.

Mr. Liang's taking this name can also show his confidence and importance in this AI system.

As if after a psychological struggle, John slowly put the rabbit wood carving in the corner of Mr. Liang's operating platform, and then said, "The 40-day deadline is left...... I think there are five days left, and I'd like to pick another mission. ”

Mr. Liang was really a little surprised this time, the eyeballs that were not covered by eyelids looked at John, and his body "appeared" on the seat again: "You want to fight to the death with that snake?"

John nodded with difficulty, "Yes." ”

Mr. Liang looked at the rabbit wood carving that was placed on the platform and said, "If you feel that time is tight, I can extend the deadline for you." ”

"No, I don't think I'll be able to do this. John hesitated, then begged more, "If you can, can you turn that 'screen' on again and let me take a closer look." ”

As John, who really had a brief confrontation with the giant snake, or was simply chased and killed, it was obvious that he knew the combat power of the giant snake, and Mr. Ben Liang put the two tasks together for him to choose, which was a kind of "math teacher's homework assignment method of copying ten problems ten thousand times or solving them", using a task that he decided could not choose to anchor, giving him a sense of oppression and a promising contrast.

But now it seems that last night's vision had a bigger impact on John than he had imagined.

Mr. Liang couldn't help but wonder a little, just saw the illusion of a piece of rabbit meat, as for it?

Dr. Fang, an ordinary person, has seen the illusion of rabbit meat, and he has not been frightened, and he has been thinking about how to solve the mystery, you are a so-called "European orthodox blood clan", so cowardly?

Could it be a horror movie, watched too much?

At most, the rabbit wood carving makes people see some weird and inexplicable illusions, and it does not cause any signs of substantial damage.

However, Mr. Liang didn't ask too much questions, and just snapped his fingers, causing a wall to project an image of the mutated giant snake locked in the back room for John to observe.

John thanked him and hurried over, taking a closer look at the serpent's condition. The snake's own blinded eyes were now fully restored, and they looked the same as they had been when they first encountered it more than a month ago.

Making the current choice, John is naturally very struggling, in order to figure out what is special about the rabbit wood carving, he has used up most of the 40-day period, and the sunk cost is too high.

Normally, there was no reason for him to give up at this time.

But last night's encounter and Mr. Gangliang's words made him realize that this rabbit wood carving is a real big pit!

If this rabbit wood carving is related to Montamira's eight-armed giant vision, it is even more terrifying, God knows what kind of existence is behind it.

He had offered to help Mr. Liang go to Montamira to investigate the illusion of the eight-armed giant, and he also put forward some so-called ideas, but that was just a last resort in order to survive, in order to leave here, go to Burma, Montamira, and contact more people, so that he could better show his ability and value, and also have more opportunities to escape, and the choice is much greater.

But now it seems that Mr. Liang wants him to stay here, directly through this wood carving, with his own soul and spirit, to touch the hidden secrets that may exist behind it, he is more like a pathfinder, a cannon fodder, or a sacrifice to be sacrificed and summoned.

He should have realized a long time ago, something that could be valued by Mr. Liang and the organization behind him but could not do anything about it was certainly not simple, and it would not be a problem that he could easily solve.

Rather than facing the inevitable terrifying and terrifying unknown existence, it is better to fight against the known but limited power.

John clenched the small white porcelain knife in his pocket and stared at the giant snake on the wall screen as he recalled the last brief encounter and the serpent's reactions.

Perhaps, not hopeless.

......

Although Alice's attempt to obtain the data failed, Xiang Kun was not too worried.

The data on the storage device is obtained through the "hyper-link" matrix, and the mode of air transmission and compilation and transcoding has been established and successfully passed.

It is only a matter of time to obtain the secret data on the storage device under the Shouwang Building.

As for the movements caused last night, Xiang Kun wasn't too worried, anyway, this kind of rabbit meat illusion, he had also let that Dr. Fang see it in the laboratory at the beginning, and it was the label and characteristics of the rabbit wood carving that was hit by the "Shenxing Technology", and it would be nothing for them to experience it again.

On the contrary, it was Alice's "annoyed and angry" style of force last night that helped him verify two questions:

First, when there is enough "super-connectivity" to excite and the surrounding environment is suitable, Alice herself can trigger the "love object" within the range to have an impact, so that people can see the corresponding illusion;

The second is that "mutant creatures" can also be affected by the hallucinations of "love objects", but at present, only the "mutated creatures" mutated from humans will be affected, and the other three other forms of "mutant creatures" under the Shouwang Building only perceive abnormalities, but do not see related illusions.

It seems that the ability to project emotions related to "emotional objects", which is born from "emotional assimilation", still requires the affected target to have the emotional perception ability of "similar channels".

However, Xiang Kun didn't think about these things for the time being, because today is April 22nd, and tomorrow is Lao Xia's birthday, and everyone will celebrate Lao Xia's birthday together tonight - this was originally an excuse for him to invite Professor Li Yang and Little Apple to Chongyun Village.

So Xiang Kunde focused on his job as a "chef" and prepared a sumptuous meal for the evening.

While preparing the ingredients for Xiang Kun, Xia Libing, Tang Baona, Yang Zhen'er, Little Apple and others were making a video with the little chubby girl in Star City, listening to her sing happy birthday songs to Lao Xia.

"Black Persian Drop Oil~, Black Persian Drop Oil~, Black Persian Fall Oh Sang Mo Oh ~~~~, Black Persian Fall Chart Excellent~~~~"

The little chubby girl in the video is singing the English version of the happy birthday song very seriously, this is what the old fairy sister taught her, although she has sung it before, but it used to be a chorus, just hum with soy sauce, this time she has to sing alone, it looks like a lot of people are watching on the other side, which makes people nervous, she is not very proficient in pronunciation, and she has added new words, so she sings a little nervously, but she still tries hard not to be too out of tune, and sings four cycles strongly.

At first, Tang Baona, Little Apple, and Xia Tianhuo, Zicheng, and Chu Xiaoting, who came over to watch the excitement, were all a little confused, although the cute voice of the little chubby girl was a little vague, but happy birthday to you They heard it, but what does "oh Sangmo" mean?

It was Tang Baona who reacted first, turned back to Yang Zhen'er and said, "Old summer?"

Yang Zhen'er, who volunteered to teach the little chubby girl to sing happy birthday songs, didn't hold back her laughter herself, and nodded: "Yes, yes, it's a great English nickname!"

"I'll go!Old Sunmer is outrageous!Yang Laosan is too bad, he actually deceived children!" Xia Tianhuo couldn't help but complain about his cousin.

But Zicheng, Little Apple, Chu Xiaoting and others, who knew the truth, couldn't help laughing.

Seeing the reaction of everyone here, Liu Shiling on the other side of the video asked a little nervously: "Sister roasted chicken wings, did I sing it wrong?"

Xia Libing, who still had a calm expression, said: "No, you sang very well." ”

Tang Baona also cried and laughed: "The little bell sings very well, by the way, when your old fairy sister taught you, did you tell you what this song meant?"

Liu Shiling nodded: "Happy birthday song, we often sing it in kindergarten, 'Black Pipersian Drop Oil' is to wish you a happy birthday, and Sister Lao Xian said 'Oh De Sangmo' is what dear sister means." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Shiling asked Lao Xia again: "Happy birthday sister roasted chicken wings! Have you received the birthday gift I sent you?"

"Thank you, little bell, I haven't received it yet, when did you send it?" Xia Libing shook his head.

"Mom said that it was sent the day before yesterday, and it was very windy. Liu Shiling said, her little eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Will they lose my gift?"

"SF Express, right?Xingcheng sent it, it should arrive today, I'll ask Chef Xiang!" Yang Zhen'er said and ran out of the living room and jumped into the kitchen to find Xiang Kun.
