Chapter 372: I am who I am!
When Shen Ge rushed to the Quanlongshan base, he found that the place had entered a first-level alert state. The army was patrolling and assisting in the investigation of the mysterious warriors. It seemed that something big had happened.
"What happened?" Shen Ge walked into the base and stopped an anti-terrorist soldier and asked.
The soldier was originally curious about who would ask such a question, but when he saw it was Shen Ge, he was surprised and said: "Detective Shen, are you back?"
"Something happened at the base?" Shen Ge asked again.
The soldier shook his head: "No, two days ago, Director Li suddenly and the commander-in-chief issued a first-level alert order. Except for the patrol troops in the city, all the others were recalled to the base to alert. What exactly happened...actually we don't know."
Shen Ge nodded, indicating that he should continue his work, and then went directly to the registration entrance and scanned his face to enter the employee passage. Lin Yin had already received a call about his return and arranged for two counter-attack agents to wait here.
Neither the soldiers patrolling outside the base nor the counter-attack agents who responded to him knew what was going on. They only knew that it was the order of Director Li and Captain Lin Yin.
Shen Ge met Lin Yin in the administrative area. After not seeing each other for several months, the guy became "stronger" again. When he saw Shen Ge, he gave him a big hug.
"So what happened?" Shen Ge asked.
Lin Yin shrugged helplessly and spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know.
"You don't know either." Shen Ge was shocked.
"Ah? I should know?" Lin Yin was stunned.
"Aren't you the captain?"
"Having said that, according to the authority, if it is not a counter-terrorism operation, Li Xiang and I are at the same level. I can only follow the order he gave under this situation?"
"Don't you ask why?"
"When I asked, he said a lot of things I couldn't understand."
When Shen Ge heard this, his expression suddenly became a little subtle. Feng Chengxiu, who was standing next to Lin Yin, couldn't stand listening anymore and stepped forward and said, "Tan Shen, let me explain."
Li Xiang's reason for putting all departments on alert is indeed complicated, and it has something to do with Cheng Shengnan's "illness."
But his professional terminology, let alone Lin Yin, even Shen Ge couldn't understand. What Feng Chengxiu roughly summarized was that the weird cells in Cheng Shengnan's body caused some kind of spatial reaction, which led to the phased appearance of the Quanlong Mountain base. Unstable "strange space".
The scope of impact is very small, sometimes it is the operating table, and sometimes it is the entire operating room. So far, there has been no situation that exceeds the scope of the operating room.
Secondly, Jiang Peiwen also discovered that Cheng Shengnan's weird cells would cause weird reactions. When she took the samples and sent them to the laboratory, the researchers inside were dissecting a weird third-order body.
As a result, some of the "resurrection" power that had been drained out of this thing was squeezed out, and a tentacle was resurrected and rolled towards the weird sample.
This incident attracted Li Xiang's attention, so he found a few low-level weirdos to conduct experiments, which were the "gu raising" experiments that he liked to do most back then, allowing the weirdos to eat each other and observe the state of alienation.
Li Xiang was surprised to find that Cheng Shengnan's weird cells had mutated into a "new variety", which was very different from the previous weird cells.
It is even certain that the "new type" weirdo samples Shen Ge obtained in the mysterious plane and the dream world were all aimed at developing in this direction.
However, they all failed, but Cheng Shengnan had unexpected gains.
The biggest problem in the weird organization has always been that they can become weird by transplanting the weird cells of the ancestor into the body, gaining the weird "devouring" power of the ancestor, thereby gaining the weird power to control weird energy, and then by devouring weird flesh and blood. "Nourish" the strange cells of the ancestors.
Over time, problems arise.
There is only "one" ancestor of Weirdness, but people can continue to increase their number through reproduction. In other words, the cells of ancestor Weirdness are used less and less, but more and more people want to become weirdos.
Therefore, the weirdo organization spares no effort to research "new types" of weirdos, in order to create a kind of weirdo that can "feed back" weirdness.
In layman's terms, it is to let the strange devouring monster give its flesh and blood the ability to "devour" so that more humans can be transplanted;
Or perhaps the cells of this "new type" of weirdos can be directly used for transplantation, allowing ordinary people to transform into weirdos and master strange powers.
Fusion weirdos are the closest thing the weirdos have to this idea, but unfortunately, humans who transplant their cells will become flesh and blood monsters.
During the more than half a month that Shen Ge went to investigate Donghuan Lake, because Jiang Peiwen was always in charge of Cheng Shengnan, and with the help of Xiao Qi, a huge database and intelligent AI, Li Xiang had almost nothing to do. It was a rare opportunity "Idle" down.
So he sorted out all the research materials Shen Ge obtained from Sakura's "future" world line, the dream world Rongshan Mental Hospital, etc., and finally found some clues about the "motivations" of the weird organization. He followed this direction to investigate. Only then did I realize that they were trying to create this kind of "feedback" weirdo.
Li Xiang immediately asked someone to send the new type of monsters obtained from the mysterious plane provided by Shen Ge and stored in the underground research room of the Rong City branch to the Quanlongshan base.
Then he compared it with Cheng Shengnan’s weird sample and finally confirmed his guess!
If the fusion weirdo studied by the weirdo organization is just a monster with only a frame and no soul, then the existence of Cheng Shengnan completes this piece of the puzzle.
It's just that Li Xiang cooperated with Jiang Peiwen to study for more than half a month, but he still couldn't figure out why Cheng Shengnan could successfully "evolve".
Red mist armor?
Classmate Xiaoqi?
It's not that Li Xiang didn't think about these two reasons, but unfortunately when he asked Xiao Qi to cooperate in a series of experiments using the Red Mist Armor, he found nothing.
However, the fact that Cheng Shengnan's weirdo cells are a "new" weirdo sample that can arouse strange peeps gives him enough reason to order martial law at the base.
Shen Ge didn't expect this to be the reason. Although he was surprised, he had no idea why Li Xiang had been studying the samples for more than half a month. The reason is also very simple, because Cheng Shengnan said that she was forced to fuse the weird cells of the Red Mist Armor, but in fact it was the power of the dream that the Red Mist Armor peeked into her body to force the cell fusion.
In other words, it was the "power of dreams" that allowed Cheng Shengnan's human cells to successfully "perfectly" fuse with the strange phagocytes belonging to the ancestors that were fused into the red mist armor.
In fact, if Shen Ge hadn't asked Xiao Qi to suppress him, Cheng Shengnan might have become the most "perfect" weirdo in history.
But Shen Ge is already half human and half treacherous. He himself doesn't know when this state will completely lose control and turn into a monster, so he doesn't want Cheng Shengnan to embark on this path.
"You're finally back! Come on, come on, come on, I have a lot of questions to ask you!" Li Xiang, who was immersed in the files in the laboratory, saw Shen Ge coming in with Lin Yin and Feng Chengxiu, and ignored the two of them. The big man dragged Shen Ge to the computer.
"I remember you said before that when you found this new type of weirdo on the mysterious plane, they had a very powerful ability to 'conceal', and even you couldn't detect the mysterious aura on them."
"I have never understood why they want to study the evolutionary direction of this concealed and mysterious aura. When it comes to concealed assassination, weird people always have the aura of weirdos on them. No matter how low the mysterious energy is, it is still possible to detect it. So why not just use the normal method? Human assassination?"
"You can say that normal people are far less powerful than weirdos, but this 'new' type of weirdo's combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of normal humans."
"In the past month and a half, I finally figured it out. It's not that weirdos want to study this 'invisible' ability, but that they want to create weirdos who are the most human-like."
"Except for some extremists and people who are simply interested in weird power, in fact most weirdos will choose this path just because they want to bet their future on the next civilization. In their opinion, only by becoming weird can they survive. "
"Who wants to be a monster if it's okay?"
"So I reorganized the research reports you brought back from the dream world and the 'future' in this direction, and I really found a lot of clues."
"Is the existence of 'Dean' real, or is it the embodiment of some evil idea? Because according to the experience about Wang Han that you later analyzed with me, I always feel that the identity of the dean is not that simple. He is very likely to It’s just an evil identity embodied by one of your evil personalities.”
"The second thing is a few memories. Can they really be explained by split personality? Look at these research reports. You brought them back from different dream worlds three times."
"The research report on Sakura's "Future", the parasitic and strange report on Rongshan Mental Hospital, and the report on the Dajing Minaret."
"Do you see the problem?"
"Yes, the essence of these three reports is the same. They are all research reports on a parasitic type of weirdness that has been transplanted into humans and has a 'devouring' ability similar to the ancestor weirdness."
"Tell me, is there such a possibility? Maybe you are also one of these researchers, but for some reason you have changed from a researcher to a researched, and these research reports essentially come from your memory. ', This can explain why the reports you brought back from three completely different time spaces and regions are very similar. "
Shen Ge's face suddenly became a little strange when he heard this, and he couldn't help but complain: "Brother, you are not stupid after reading the report for half a month, are you? Don't forget that the people in the world who have studied the weirdest the most are all They came from the Haiya Research Institute. Even if you suspect that the weirdo organization is behind them and creating new types of weirdos, it’s more reliable than your current guess, right?”
Li Xiang shook his head: "No, you didn't understand what I meant. Let me give an analogy. A lumberjack lost his memory for some reason. When he worked as a helper in a farmer's house to chop firewood, his body's muscle memory would pick up the firewood. When holding the axe, he subconsciously used the lumberjack’s labor-saving technique to chop firewood.”
"Suppose the lumberjack lost his memory for some reason on his way home after working at a farmer's house, and went to work in a lumber camp. Maybe the technique he used was the same as chopping firewood at the farmer's house, but in fact the essence is still the technique he first used in the mountains. Falling for the lumberjack’s tricks.”
"Similarly, although your 'hypothetical' weirdo organization is constantly manipulating organizations in various countries to conduct experiments in this area in order to develop new types of weirdos, there is a certain possibility."
"But do you think that the weirdo organization is so powerful that it can manipulate the world's powers to serve them behind the scenes without leaking any information, or... the intelligence you first obtained from the dream world was actually your false memory? It’s not until your body enters the dream world that you truly enter the twisted and chaotic multiple strange spaces.”
"Which one of the two do you think is more likely?"
"Last question—"
Li Xiang paused, his tone became extremely serious, and asked Shen Ge a question that hit his heart: "How can you be sure that you are the 'master personality' when there are clone monsters in the past, and... Isn’t your memory a fabricated false memory?”
"If you want to say that the 'system' exists, I can say with certainty that it is by no means a criterion to prove that you are the 'master personality'."
"According to the fact that weirdos are created by transplanting the ancestor's weird cells, if you want me to conduct this experiment, I can prepare ten or hundreds of experimental subjects, and then transplant the original '1', or less ancestor weird The cells are divided into ten parts and put into the experimental body respectively, and the one that survives is the 'subject'."
"This is the choice that a researcher who explores the unknown should make!"
well.
Shen Ge took a step forward, sighed and patted Li Xiang's shoulder, and said seriously: "I suggest you take a few days off, go shopping and watch movies with your junior sister, relax, and stop immersing yourself in the things you brought back from the dream world. research report. Or just tell me what you want me to do, and stop explaining to me the reasons and motivations for doing it.”
"Why?" Li Xiang didn't know why.
Shen Ge spread his hands and looked at Lin Yin and Feng Chengxiu, who had completely given up listening to Li Xiang's theory and hid in the corridor to chat: "Because the speculations you mentioned are well-founded, it is difficult for me to refute them. From the perspective of a researcher, There’s nothing wrong with it, but it doesn’t make any sense from a practical point of view.”
"Other than making me feel anxious, feel the injustice of the world, feel sad about my fate, and go on a black path, it has no meaning."
"Ah?" Now it was Li Xiang's turn that his smart mind couldn't figure it out.
In fact, hasn’t Shen Ge thought about these assumptions and conjectures raised by Li Xiang?
No, he had made such speculation more than once when the clone Shen Ge appeared.
The other party said that there were only three or four surviving clone samples left, so Shen Ge automatically added the symbol "∞" to this number.
Just kidding, Earth 123 has experienced as many endings as there are stars in the sky. Who knows how many "Shen Songs" there are among them?
Even if he is really a clone and a fabricated false memory,
But so what?
