In the dark treatment room, Liu Zhi was lying on the hospital bed, looking up at the silver ceiling above his head, and murmuring.
He quietly covered his forehead.
Burning, fatigue, stinging, hallucinations.
All kinds of different offset perceptions made him feel as if he was sinking into a bottomless abyss. Even if he was just lying down, he would feel like an ordinary person had just completed a marathon, and every pore seemed to be on fire.
On the bedside table, there is a translucent metal bottle about the height of a finger.
On the outer wall of the bottle, there is a line of clearly branded metal inscriptions.
【Annihilation-2139】
The bottle is already empty.
This is an extraordinary potion produced by Xuanzhang Research Institute and is still in the experimental stage.
The specific function is relatively simple, it activates all cell activity in a short period of time to provide energy for the brain, and it is very powerful.
At the same time, it is also a very effective and quick way to commit suicide.
If I have to use a metaphor, it's probably like compressing the cells of a transcendent that have been operating continuously for at least two hundred years to burn them all in just a few hours, just for a moment of dazzling brilliance.
However, because this medicine is still in the experimental stage, it has strong side effects and will produce extremely severe mental and physical stress while using it.
But Liu Zhi had no choice.
Now, it will take about ten minutes before the medicine takes full effect.
The spiritual demonization reaction in Liu Zhi's body became more and more intense, and the pain in his body continued to intensify every moment.
In order to relieve the pain and divert his attention, he had to turn his thoughts to the battle on the ground.
'Liu Gui, you should have discovered that he was abandoned, right?'
Liu Zhi squinted his eyes slightly, and his pupils gradually turned from black to dark gold, glowing vaguely in the dark night.
As early as when he first discovered the location of Liu Gui, Liu Zhi had already used "Seeing the Small Things" to gain insight into all arrangements of Liu Gui, and even anticipated every step he might complete, and this was how he came up with this counter-ambush.
but......
Liu Zhi closed his eyes and recalled in his mind the startling glimpse of the moment he fell to the ground.
Memory is fuzzy.
No matter how I think about it, it's still very vague.
It was as if the memory in my mind had been erased by something.
Because of this uncertainty, Liu Zhi had already told Han Baiyi before he went out - if you can't beat him, run away.
Liu Zhi knew the value of Han Baiyi very well.
It's like he knows the value he can play.
He knew that even if several extraordinary beings in this hospital were bundled together, they might not be as good as Han Baiyi alone.
People are always divided into levels based on their abilities.
Just like now.
Liu Zhi straightened up slowly.
According to the information obtained through his ability, ‘Dad’ is probably an [Observer].
Observer is the definition given by Xuanzhang Research Institute.
Half-demon is a very special kind of existence.
According to the institute's half-demon classification, all half-demon are divided into the first, second, and third stages according to the number of demonization degrees before the limit of 40% demonization degree.
After the reshaping of their three views when they became half-demon, they will have different intensity of intellectual impact between different stages, with the 'only demon' and their own 'heart' as the source.
If you can get through it, you can live your life how you want.
If you can't get through it, you will have a "becoming a demon" reaction.
It stands to reason that half-demon's own wish is to become the only demon. The word "becoming a demon" does not seem to be harmful to them.
But this monster is not that monster.
Different from the god-like omniscient and rational characteristics of Laplace's Demon, the 'demon' in [Becoming a Demon] refers to a special state of extreme physical alienation and complete loss of reason.
In this state, the half-demon have no self-awareness at all and no subjective judgment ability.
Although the physical ability and the total amount of spiritual intelligence will be greatly improved, for the existence of half-demon, the competition is never about who is stronger, but about who is more stubborn and better at pretending to be a grandson.
Of course they can't like this kind of reckless alienation.
The situation of the half-demon in the first stage is pretty good. As long as it does not deeply arouse one's own emotions, it will not cause a violent reaction to becoming a demon.
However, starting from the second stage, every half-demon is always in a state of 'possibly becoming a demon'.
They must control their rationality, restrain their desires, use their abilities carefully, and even use their wits as little as possible.
Moreover, the higher the degree of demonization, the higher the stage one is in, and the greater the possibility that the half-demon will complete the reaction of becoming a demon.
This is also the reason why the stronger the half-demon are, the more rational they become.
Those are all the results of natural screening.
This situation will continue until the demonization degree reaches 40%.
Forty is a hurdle for a half-demon.
It is even ten times and a hundred times more thrilling than the previous two stages.
Xuanzhang Research Institute calls this boundary the ‘observer critical line’.
Most half-demon will be stuck here.
The total amount of spiritual units corresponding to this limit is 43,700 units.
All half-demon who have broken through this boundary are uniformly called observers by the institute.
Because the number of living samples is too small, the research institute has not yet given a specific expression of this limit. We only know that this limit is extremely difficult to cross.
However, after crossing this line, the half-demon's strength will undergo a qualitative change.
On this point, both the transcendent and the half-demon are unified.
The two levels before and after this boundary cannot even be counted as the same kind of creature, and the gap will be so large that it is almost ridiculous.
There are only two basic qualities that an observer possesses:
1. There is no upper limit to the growth of inspiration;
Second, through the trajectory of the spiritual machine, observe and use your ability to influence everything within your observation range.
Just these two points separate observers and ordinary half-demon into different levels.
With the existing individual weapons, there is no way to even hurt them.
Therefore, "the only thing that can stop the observer is the observer" has become an iron law in the extraordinary world.
The reason why Han Baiyi is precious is that the strength he has shown now has crushed this so-called 'iron law' to the ground, leaving no residue at all.
In fact, according to the theoretical strength comparison they obtained, Han Baiyi seemed to be much stronger than that 'dad', and was almost on the verge of reaching a higher level.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the Xuanzhang Research Institute headquartered in Tiandu had suffered heavy losses recently due to 'that' incident, and a lot of its instruments had been damaged, he would probably have been called over to cooperate with the research by now.
Normally, it shouldn't be a problem for him to block the observer.
According to the institute, it can even hit three.
After thinking about it, Liu Zhi seemed to feel something, and his pupils turned completely golden in the dark night.
He sat up, exhaled slowly, and spoke into the darkness.
"Let's get started."
A figure that had always been standing in the darkness stood out at this moment, as if it had never existed just now.
Liu Zhi turned his head,
It was a man about thirty years old.
Maybe he looks younger because he is an extraordinary person.
He silently turned on the room light, and the bright light reflected the server group that was originally hidden in the darkness and stacked like a wall opposite the hospital bed. A screen was projected on the other side of the wall, listing files one by one.
[All available information on Tokamak controllable thermonuclear fusion and superconducting non-circular cross-section nuclear fusion experiments]
[Summary of the basic function theory of the spiritual circuit]
[Discussion on the feasibility of the theory of strong magnetic field constraining spiritual machines and the storage methods of spiritual machines]
[Summary of clever detection methods]
[Summary of resonance reactions between human brain cells and spiritual machines]
...
Looking at it line by line, there are a total of forty or fifty files.
Liu Zhi's previous suggestion was to use your own abilities to analyze as much as possible at the last moment of your life and shorten the research time of these important theories.
He was doing this kind of work before when he was in the institute.
Later, because his ability was used too frequently and his demonization level increased too quickly, he was expelled from the research institute.
Now, he has no scruples.
The man who had been standing by just now walked up to Liu Zhi expressionlessly.
"Dr. Liu, my ability is information relay. After a while, you only need to focus on recalling the conclusions and data analyzed by your ability, and I can relay the information from your body to the server."
"But you need to pay attention to one thing, time is very limited..."
"I know."
Liu Zhi nodded expressionlessly as well.
Even though he was about to die, he still didn't like the feeling of being pushed.
"No, I mean, my time is limited."
The man's tone changed, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"I am a user of [殮-2136]. Although I took it five minutes later than yours, the lasting effect should still be shorter than yours."
Liu Zhi was startled.
The man seemed to have expected it, and explained with a relaxed expression: "The amount of data and information in these theories is too huge. Even if it is just relayed into the server, my body and mental capacity are unlikely to be able to withstand it."
"But apart from using the ability, there is no better way to completely record this important information in the shortest time, so..."
"Yes, that's it."
Liu Zhi's voice paused, his mouth pursed, and he couldn't help but lower his head.
"Feel sorry."
"You don't have to blame yourself, I did it voluntarily."
The man's smile was very calm. It didn't give people a tragic feeling, but it was natural and natural from the heart.
"You are only twenty-two years old and have already graduated with a PhD in materials science. Why don't you still make this choice?"
"Except for me, who accidentally acquired this ability, I have been mediocre in the agency for more than forty years. That's it for the rest of my life. It's no big deal."
"Besides, we can't always let you young people be heroes, can we?"
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet."
"My name is Wang Yifeng. I used to be a soldier, but now I am a grassroots cadre in the street."
He smiled grandly and patted Liu Zhi's shoulder hard.
His expression was gentle, his movements were casual, but his voice was solemn.
"For Daxia."
Liu Zhi took a deep breath and bowed to him.
He straightened up, turned around, and looked at the files on the screen.
