Chapter 5 Chapter 4 A person who is not a person

Although I happened to think of this too, but when I heard Zhu Jin say that, I shook my head: "How much hypnotic power does it take to be able to perform hypnosis in sixty different places at the same time? I don't think there is such a thing on the earth." strength." Zhu Jin didn't answer right away, Bai Su said slowly: "The 'hypnosis' we mentioned, can it be understood as the result of some kind of force affecting brain activity?" I said, "That's the way it is." Bai Su nodded and said: "Then the whole thing can be understood as some kind of power has affected the brain activities of many people."

I took a deep breath and was speechless for a while. Bai Su said again: "Not only those who feel like they are in the water are affected by external forces, but I also think that all--all applicants in the world are affected by external forces , causing them to lose their memory." I heard Bai Su say this, and I jumped up: "You mean, all the applicants have forgotten that they have written a letter to apply?" Bai Su nodded: "This is my assumption—it's also the reason why we couldn't even find a single applicant after exhausting all methods." I waved my hand. "We had assumed that all the conscripts were ordered not to tell anyone about it."

Bai Su said: "We found that this assumption cannot be established──" Without waiting for him to finish, I asked, "Who are you calling 'us'?" Bai Su pointed to herself and Zhu Jin, and said, "There are also Kangwei XVII and Liu Xu." I snorted, expressing my dissatisfaction.Because I have no clue about this matter, she should have done more research with me, but now she is researching with others and negates my hypothesis. Of course, I think it is not tasteful. Of course Bai Su knew how I felt, she immediately explained: "On this matter, you have a different opinion from everyone else, so we studied it from another angle."

I know that Bai Su's "difference of opinion" means that I think the matter has nothing to do with the aliens, while others think it is the aliens. Judging from the hypothesis Bai Su made just now, the only ones who can possess this kind of power should be aliens. But I shook my head anyway--which means I'm still sticking to my guns. Bai Su said: "Do you still remember that Kangwei XVII took away a box of application letters?" I nodded, and Bai Su said again: "Kang Wei and Liu Xu spent a lot of time, met everyone who wrote a letter to apply, and every applicant didn't remember that he had written a letter to apply .”

I immediately retorted: "How can it be that they don't remember, not that they have been threatened not to speak out?" Bai Su smiled and said, "You have forgotten what kind of person Conway XVII is—he has the most reliable lie detector in his body, which can be judged." I shook my head and my hand again: "No, no, big mistake!" Bai Su and Zhu Jin stared at me, and I also stared at them: "Let me think again and find out what's wrong." Bai Su seemed to want to speak, but he gestured to me to stop it. I thought about it for a while and found the "wrong".

I said: "This batch of application letters was obtained by robbing the road, so the solicitor did not look at it - that is to say, the solicitor did not know that there was this batch of application letters, and he did not know who wrote the letter." , in such a situation, even if the aspirant has the power to erase the memory of other people's brains, he still has no way to do it!" Bai Su immediately said: "Well said! Therefore, the assumption that those applicants were intimidated cannot be established!" I was stunned for a moment—what I said just now negated my own hypothesis.I had no choice but to say: "That is to say, both assumptions are not valid."

Bai Su said: "We can add an assumption: the recruiter has the power to know the content of that batch of letters." I couldn't help smiling wryly: "That would elevate the applicant too much—it's hard to imagine how to tamper with Conway and learn the content of the application letter." Bai Su took a breath, and said slowly: "We don't know about this, and neither does Conway. But Conway can be sure that those applicants have completely forgotten that they have ever written a letter to apply for the recruitment—this can be deduced by analogy." , except for the missing conscript, all the other conscripts have lost their memory."

Of course, I will not doubt the judgment of Conway XVII──I believe that the lie detector in his body is many times more advanced than the lie detectors commonly used by humans. So I have no reason to disagree with Bai Su's words. However, this made me feel indescribable fear.I lost my voice: "If they have the ability to make so many people lose part of their memory, what else can they not do?" Bai Su and Zhu Jin didn't answer, they just looked at me.From the look on their faces, they felt the same fear from the bottom of their hearts as I did. Our fears are not without reason - think about it, the ability to make people lose some memory is equivalent to the ability to influence and control the activities of the human brain. In theory, this ability can drive people to do anything!

What a terrible power this is! No matter what kind of person this power is in the hands of, it is an extremely terrifying thing—human beings may lose their will from now on and become puppets that can be manipulated by others! And the master of this kind of power can control human behavior as he likes, and he has become the master of all human beings. From then on, in the lexicon of mankind, at least the term "freedom" will no longer exist. This is no longer a question of the transfer of life quotas, but is related to the fate of all mankind. It can be said that it is a major event related to the life and death of all mankind-on earth, there is nothing more serious than this matter.

For a while, the three of us were silent. After a long while, Zhu Jin was the first to break the silence.Her voice was low: "A demon king who rules all mankind is not a character in a fantasy movie, but a real existence. We will all inevitably become his victims!" I only felt extremely irritable in my heart, and I was even more impatient when I heard Zhu Jin say this, so I sneered: "Isn't this exactly your ideal? Although you have no ability to achieve it, you have been working hard to do it." Zhu Jin's face was very ugly, and I sneered again: "You have worked hard for half a century, but you still can't clean the brains of the people under your rule. The ability to strengthen power by force is far behind others! You should worship people as teachers!"

Zhu Jin moved her lips, but was unable to make a sound for a while. Bai Su smoothed things over: "I think at a time like this, when all mankind is facing such a serious danger, everyone should be united in their hatred." I said loudly, "First, I don't think I'm the same human being as they are—and they obviously don't agree with me. Second, it's not a crisis for them, it's what they've been trying to do and not do." It’s good news that someone can do what you want! Third, don’t worry too much about human beings, too many people are willing to be puppets driven by others—this is the main reason why power can exist!” Bai Su frowned and said nothing, I didn't have any more thoughts, and said: "Once this devil king appears, many people will automatically kneel down!" Bai Su sighed: "Although there are too many people who automatically kneel before the powerful rule, there are also more people who have self-esteem and personality. Under the power that can control brain activities, it is inevitable that everything will be destroyed!" I shook my head: "I don't think that way. I think that as long as people dare to resist, people must be their own masters—only those who dare not resist and submit to the power of power will automatically turn themselves into slaves!" Zhu Jin's voice was bitter: "Mr. Wei said it easily, don't you know that resistance means killing? You can't ask everyone to be a hero who treats death as home. The only death is the only one who dies through hardships through the ages!" What Zhu Jin said is of course the truth, but the uglier fact is that too many people, under circumstances that do not involve life and death at all, are full of embarrassment in front of powerful rulers, just wanting to squeeze in with their heads sharpened, hoping Can become the darling of a powerful regime──His humble personality has reached the extreme! Of course, I don't need to debate these things with Zhu Jin, because different positions have different views. Zhu Jin is part of the power rule, and she naturally doesn't think there is anything wrong with those people who compete for flattery, speak incoherently, and make ugly appearances──because there are Without these people, their powerful rule can continue! I didn't say anything, Bai Su broke the embarrassing silence: "The matter is far more serious than we imagined──" Bai Su and I rarely disagree, but this time, I interrupted her without waiting for her to finish. I waved my hand vigorously: "The existence of this kind of power is of course terrifying, but there is no need to overestimate it. If this kind of power can really do whatever it wants, why should it ask for life quotas? It can take whatever it wants from anyone, let alone emphasize it again and again. I have to volunteer—from this we can see that personal thoughts can compete with this power!" Bai Su was silent for a while, then said: "I hope so." Zhu Jin lost her voice: "This is not a matter of wanting or not, but about taking practical actions to eliminate this power!" I said coldly: "Yes! Hurry up and mobilize an army, equipped with tanks and machine guns, and go to attack in a mighty way—show the strength to deal with unarmed ordinary people, and guarantee success in one fell swoop!" Zhu Jin suddenly stood up, her pretty face pale: "I thought at least under the common goal, I could cooperate with you──" I immediately snapped it up: "Fundamentally, you are wrong—it is absolutely impossible for me and you to have the same goal!" Zhu Jin looked at me for a moment, then turned around and left. Bai Su sighed softly. After Zhu Jin went out and closed the door heavily, she said, "This time, she really came here to seek cooperation." I shook my head: "There is no need to cooperate with this kind of person! Conway XVII should be able to find further clues." Bai Su nodded: "Kangwei is very concerned about this matter, and he will work hard." I said: "There is a situation that is sure to have happened to many people, but I have no way of knowing what it is." Then, I told Bai Su in detail how Chen Jingde came to find me. When I mentioned Chen Jingde's feeling that he felt his whole body melted into the water, Bai Su's expression was inexplicable. She lost her voice: "Isn't this situation exactly the same as what Zhu Jin said? Those surveillance personnel who failed in their duties all felt the same—it was in that feeling that they lost their target, and at the same time, they didn't know the time." past!" Bai Su, who has always been calm and remained calm before Mount Tai collapsed, now also looked horrified.Because the situation is really dire, and this situation has proved that there is indeed a power that can widely affect the human brain activity, make people lose consciousness, or even make people completely obey it! If this power, as Zhu Jin said, is in the hands of a "devil king", then he can manipulate human beings to do whatever they want. This situation, which has always been the subject of fantasy novels or movies, suddenly becomes so close to reality that it makes people break into a cold sweat. I walked back and forth quickly: "Since the matter has developed to this point, we can't sit still—we don't know when this power will affect our brain activities. I don't want to be a puppet manipulated by others!" Bai Su looked at me, her brows were knotted, she seldom hesitated in adversity, but at this moment she actually asked: "What can we do?" I stopped walking and looked up - I couldn't actually see anything, I just changed my mind quickly. I fully understand the reason for Bai Su's hesitation, because I am also in the same mood. Since its inception, this matter has not only attracted the attention of all parties in the world, but also has practical actions.Those who take action are organizations and individuals who have mastered huge power, and it can be said that they are the dominant power in the world. For the first time in history, they are carrying out activities for the same goal. The reason for this situation is also very simple: all kinds of people with dominant power hope to get the life quota of others, so that they can delay death, and even escape death! This is not only the common dream of human beings, but also the dream of those who are enjoying the prosperity and wealth, so we can believe that they are doing their best. But the power of the whole world was concentrated, but nothing was achieved. From this we can see how unfathomable the power we are facing is—not to mention dealing with it, even if we try to imagine it, there is no way to start. I, Wesley, and Bai Su, although I have experienced many experiences that others have never had, and seem to be very successful adventurers, but under the current situation, we all feel that we are so small that we are so weak that we have no strength at all. Degree! After a while, I finally said: "Someone has mastered the power to control human brain activity. All human beings are like fish on a chopping board. They are slaughtered by others. We are also human beings, so there is no way to deal with it." Bai Su smiled wryly: "So we really have to sit and wait?" I took a sudden breath: "We are human, so we can't deal with the power that can control brain activity. If there is a person who is not human at all, then he may fight against that power!" In every different circle of life, there are different languages.When Bai Su and I said "a person is not a person at all", to those who don't know the reason, they must think that I have some neurological problems. But Bai Su understood it as soon as she heard it, and she also took a breath: "Kangwei XVII?" I nodded vigorously: "It's him—he's not a human being, and he doesn't have a brain shared by humans. His brain is a completely different kind of organization. The power that can control human brain activity must not work on him. .” After I said that, I paused and added: "And he is very interested in this matter──He hopes his wife can get a lot of life quota! So he will definitely try his best." Bai Su frowned and said nothing, I asked, "Do you have any questions?" Bai Su hesitated for a while before saying, "Maybe I'm saving the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. If Kang Wei can obtain a large amount of life quota for Liu Xu, but instead cooperate with that kind of power, it will be even more out of control!" I laughed, Bai Su wondered why I could still laugh in this situation, she stared at me with wide eyes, and I said: "You are treating the belly of a robot with the heart of an earthling. " Bai Su asked: "How do you say this?" I thought about what I was going to say - because the matter was important, I had to affirm my thoughts. Then I said sternly: "Conway once told me that all his thinking methods are based on the positive side of human thinking and behavior. Therefore, his behavior must be 100% done by a gentleman, and there will be no He is a villain, he will not do things that are sorry for human beings just because Liu Xu can get a lot of life quota!" Bai Su was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly: "It's ironic—you can't absolutely trust the same kind, but you can absolutely trust robots!" I also smiled wryly: "Many friends from extraterrestrials have said to me: Although people on Earth are backward, their brain structures are so complex that they only understand one-thousandth of them at most." Bai Su sighed: "That's already much better than the people on Earth. People on Earth probably don't know even one ten-thousandth of their brains." I stated my decision: "I'm going to find Conway. We finally have a little new discovery here. It doesn't help us, but it may be a very important inspiration for him." Bai Su agreed: "Yes, and I have to take Chen Jingde with me—this person is the only one who can possibly contact those missing candidates. I will contact Liu Xu immediately, and you go find Chen Jingde." Although going to Kangwei XVII is still very remote to solve the whole matter, but at least he can take some action instead of sitting there and waiting, which can barely be regarded as breaking the boring situation. Chen Jingde naturally agreed.Conway and Liu Xu were very excited when they heard that I had made a new discovery here.Conway even wanted to pick us up in his "vehicle" right away. His means of transportation is a spaceship with outstanding performance, which can go straight to Qingming in an instant, and soar up to nine heavens as he pleases. It is something that people on earth dream of, and it is extremely great.Every time this spaceship is dispatched, it shocks the world and causes a lot of trouble.And I also want to spend some time with Chen Jingde in order to better understand the connection between him and Chen Yixing. So I rejected Conway's offer, and went to meet Chen Jingde at his "catkin castle" by myself. Bai Su is with me, Hong Ling is not to mention being on call at any time, as long as I need it in Switzerland, she can set off immediately. I don't know why she made such a decision. I guessed that the matter in that strange chicken farm was not completely over yet, so I didn't ask further. On the plane, I asked Chen Jingde to concentrate and try to feel Chen Yixing's current situation as much as possible.But Chen Jingde was restless. Not only could he not concentrate, but he was almost restless. It's not that he has no sense of Chen Yixing's situation, he still feels that Chen Yixing is in a space──I think his feeling is the result of being deceived, and Chen Jingde can't tell any further feelings, so It can be said that no progress has been made in this regard. When they arrived in Switzerland, Conway and Liu Xu greeted them at the airport. The two greeted each other personally, expressing their deep concern about the matter.We didn't delay for a second. As soon as we met and were shaking hands, Conway asked, "Mr. Wei, what new discovery did you have?" I introduced Chen Jingde to them: "Let him speak first." So while getting into the car, Chen Jingde had already started to narrate. When the car drove onto the road leading to the castle, Chen Jingde's narration had finished, and I began to relay Zhu Jin's investigation results and the inferences drawn by Bai Su and me. Conway and Liu Xu listened very attentively and did not intervene, but only exchanged glances from time to time.By the time I finished speaking, the car had already stopped at the gate of the castle. It's not the first time I've been to this castle, but this time and the last time, the environment around the castle is quite different——Conway planted countless willow trees by the lake, and I don't know what method he used. In just a few years, most of the willow trees are as thick as hugging one's arms. It's midsummer time now, the willows are hanging down, and the tips of the branches are dotted on the water surface. When fluttering with the wind, they draw ripples one after another on the calm water surface.The water circle continues to expand to the distance on the water surface, leading the sight to the distance. Looking far away, the lake water and willow shade blend into endless green, making people feel as if they are in an illusion. After getting out of the car, Bai Su and I walked towards the lake naturally, facing the breeze, unexpectedly at that moment, we felt an unusual ethereal feeling, as if there was nothing worth caring about between heaven and earth. The sun shines on the lake, bouncing hundreds of millions of dots of golden light, sometimes scattered, sometimes condensed, making it even more unpredictable. At that time, I didn't know how Bai Su felt, because I unconsciously entered a state of detachment, I didn't pay attention to Bai Su, I only knew that she was by my side. Later, when I talked to Bai Su about the situation at that time, I realized that she was the same as me. At that time, my eyes seemed to be glued to the lake, but gradually, I could see that the scene in front of me had changed. The light and shadow of the sun reflected on the water gradually disappeared, and all I saw was a piece of green. In the middle, there is still water rippling. In this situation, it seems that I am not standing by the lake, but have already dived into the lake, and I am diving deeper and deeper! My eyes were wide open, and I knew very well that what I was seeing was not a hallucination.But for a while, I didn't understand what happened, so I panicked for a very short time, and even thought that I had really fallen into the water. If I hadn’t heard Chen Jingde’s narration and Zhu Jin’s narration, although I would have struggled with this feeling—because I felt that this feeling was absolutely abnormal, so I had to use my willpower to fight against it , but I won't be able to get rid of it so quickly. But with the narration of Chen Jingde and Zhu Jin, I immediately thought of what happened to Chen Jingde and those monitors. They all had the feeling of "melting into one body with water". However, at this time, I suddenly felt that my whole body was dissolved into the water, and I could hardly distinguish the boundary between human and water! Naturally, I also understand what the consequences will be after this situation occurs──I don't want to lose my memory, so it inspires me to do everything in my power to fight against it. This thought was so strong that it became like I was trapped in the middle of the endless clear water, and I had to try to break out of this dilemma, break out of the cocoon, and save myself. Of course, in fact, I don’t have any movements, everything is produced in the brain activity, and all my spiritual power is concentrated on one point, which is: I want to control my own brain activities, rather than being controlled by external forces. control. At this time, I can already be sure that the reason why I have such a strange feeling is entirely because of external forces affecting my brain activity. It's like someone is hypnotizing me. I have the experience of confronting first-class hypnotists, and at this time, my subconscious also told me that if the confrontation fails, the consequences will be serious, so the idea of ​​confrontation is particularly strong, like raging waves, forming a huge force. I don't know how long this process has been, but I feel that under my strong resistance, a golden light suddenly shines in front of my eyes, and I see the sun again, the willow tree, and Bai Su beside me. Bai Su was also looking at me at this time, and seeing her expression and winks, I knew that I felt the same about her as I did. Both of us felt reunited after the catastrophe, and naturally held each other's hands tightly.At this time, Conway came to us with a surprised expression: "What happened?" I lost my voice: "Just now someone tried to drag us to the bottom of the water!" Conway listened with a look of bewilderment.I immediately knew that what I said was inappropriate, because in his view, Bai Su and I just stood by the lake, motionless.As for how we feel, he naturally doesn't know, so to him, my words are inexplicable. I hurriedly said, "What I mean is: just now, a force has affected the activities of our brains, making us feel... that we have melted into the water." Conway and Liu Xu have heard my narration and know what this feeling is all about. They were surprised, it was expected, but their reaction was very strong, Liu Xu had an unimaginable expression, and Kang Wei Ze was startled and angry, his beard twitched, and he said loudly, "How bold!" Now, it's my turn to be baffled. Liu Xu explained: "The area within 200 meters of the castle is protected by special facilities to prevent the intrusion of external forces." We had this feeling just now, of course, because of the influence of foreign forces, that is to say, foreign forces invaded Conway's territory, so he was surprised and angry. But I still don't understand, so I said: "How to prevent this kind of power?"
