After listening to Sherrichard's request, Bedivere showed an even more confused expression.
"I remember your father's remains were hidden in that basement..."
"The bones were missing a head. At that time, I suspected that they had actually found my father, killed him in the basement, and took away his head. All that was left to rot there was his headless body.
"
(How can you do this!)
At that time, Bedivere thought that the white bones lying in the pile of books were the complete remains of Sherichard's father.
...Of course he didn't confirm it himself. Sherrichard told him not to touch the remains.
At that time, he thought that the secret room had never been opened and that Sherichard's father simply died of hunger and thirst in the secret room.
In fact, he was too naive. Since Sherrichard's father could hide in the secret room, he had a way to escape from it. He could just wait until the battle was over and then escape secretly. He didn't do this, naturally because he was in the secret room.
was discovered and then killed.
Those people didn't care about the contents of the secret room, because apart from the books there were only some worthless trinkets. What they really cared about was Mr. Oppenheimer's genius mind. They cut off his head and took it away.
He left in a hurry.
Then the secret room was sealed by the collapsed rubble for so many years.
The "really important thing" inside was taken away, so naturally no one would be interested in that secret room anymore. And that "really important thing" was brought here and turned into one of the brains in a vat here.
Why didn't Sherrichard say anything at that time?
Was it because she was worried about Bedivere's feelings that she didn't tell the whole truth? Was she too sad at the time and didn't look carefully at the remains hidden in the pile of books?
Or is it because this is really too dark, and Sherrichard was not ready to bear it at the time?
She would rather believe that her father just starved to death in that basement than that her father was killed and his head was cut off and taken away to be used as a computing component for some super biological computer...?
"But there are tens of thousands of brains in jars here..." Bedivere asked in a low voice: "These jars don't even have name tags on them, so there's no way to tell where they belong. I want to find your father's brain among the tens of thousands of brains."
, it’s really too..."
"That's why I need your help." Sherrichard took out an artifact fragment from his arms, a fragment of the Myerson Brotherhood's [All-Seeing Eye] pyramid.
Seeing this token, Bedivere suddenly understood Sherrichard's intention.
That's right, you can use the [Yingqi Orb] to find the brain of Sherrichard's father. Sherrichard, holding the fragment of the artifact in her hand, can act as a medium, as long as she misses her father earnestly when she is illuminated by the rainbow light of the orb. Then.
The orb can reflect the location of her father, even if it is only a rough location.
All it takes is a rough candidate location. Then Bedivere can rely on his intuition, or "Eagle Eye", to further narrow the search scope.
I see. Her plan is actually very thorough.
"How did you get that artifact fragment?" Bedivere asked curiously.
The Brotherhood is very strict about the management of artifacts, which is one of their most important tokens. Such important items cannot be simply loaned out. Even if they are loaned out, they will definitely be accompanied by Brotherhood elders to ensure that the tokens can be stored there.
Recycled after use.
Last time, the Brotherhood lent the artifact to Bediwell in this manner to determine the whereabouts of Palamidis and Vivian. Thanks to the artifact, they were able to successfully rescue Palamidi who was trapped in the deep sea.
Si and Vivian were rescued.
...Although Palamedes is not completely saved yet.
"If I said this was stolen from the Meyerson Brotherhood, would you believe it?" the Snow Lion girl asked.
"I believe the Sphinx Consortium has this ability, but I don't believe you will do this." The werewolf young man replied.
Sherrichard is not the kind of person who would suffer the loss of the honor of the entire consortium for his own selfish gain. The Sphinx Consortium and the Meyerson Brotherhood are at odds with each other, which is harmful to them without exception.
"Huhu." Sherrichard smiled with satisfaction: "This is a replica of the artifact. It was developed jointly by the Sphinx Consortium entrusted by the Meyerson Brotherhood."
"They also entrusted you to do such a thing?"
"After they figured out how to use the artifact, they came up with this commission. It seems that the more fragments of the artifact, the better. Having more fragments of the artifact means that when they want to find something, they can locate it more accurately.
.And it is very dangerous to lend out artifact fragments every time. If you don’t lend it out, the fragments will be lost. So there is such a commission, let us help copy these [secondary artifact fragments]."
(Is it inferior...)
"Is it really that easy to copy an artifact?"
"It's easier than you think. Making artifact fragments requires certain rare metals, but the function and structure of the fragments are actually very simple. They are nothing more than a signal transmitter and signal receiver, used to receive the holder's brain waves and amplify them at the same time.
The signal of [Yingqi Orb]. Although the cost of each secondary artifact fragment is astronomical, we did successfully copy a few pieces."
It seems that the Sphinx Consortium not only has strong financial resources, but also has amazing technical strength - Bediville is not surprised at all.
"The effect of this thing may be a little worse than the real thing, but just use it like this." Sherrichard held the secondary artifact fragments in front of Bediwell: "I'm ready to start. Please help me find my father
, Captain Bedivere."
Having said that, Bedivere had no reason to refuse.
He took out the [Sun God's Sun Disk], let the rainbow light shine through the sun disk, and let the rainbow light shine on the secondary artifact fragments.
Then several holographic images were reflected. The scene on the screen was indeed the scenery in this room, and Bediwell and Sherichard could be vaguely seen from a distance.
But I don’t know why, but the scenery seen in each of those images is subtly different, even the positions and angles of the two people are different. It’s almost like each of them comes from a different location and is a different tank.
The brain in the middle.
"Please don't tell me that your father has several brains." Bedivere said an inappropriate and cold joke.
"It's interference." The Snow Lion Girl replied: "I am indeed missing my father, and then let the [Yingqi Orb] reflect his location. But this secondary artifact fragment is definitely not as powerful as the original version. It probably captured me
The distracting thoughts in my mind may also reflect the locations of other people in contact with me stored in this room."
This is equivalent to searching for several candidate targets. Only one of these targets is Sherrichard's father, and the others are all people Sherrichard once knew.
"It's already very good." said the werewolf young man: "We have reduced tens of thousands of targets into just five."
"Can you locate the corresponding target based on these scenes?" Sherrichard asked again.
"I'll try." Bedivere activated [Eagle Eye].
Different from the real [Eagle Eye] (clairvoyance plus clairvoyance), Bedivere's [Eagle Eye] is actually the product of his super intuition and visualization. And his super intuition is not groundless, it is his
Excellent analytical ability for environmental intelligence.
And when the information in front of him is so clear, all this will be completed automatically in his mind, directly transformed into visual information, and reappeared in front of his eyes.
After activating [Eagle Eye], Bediwell saw five beams of light appearing out of thin air in the space, corresponding to the five screens, pointing at the five jars in the room. Some were high, some were low, some were far, some were near, but these jars did exist.
In this room.
"Have you found them?" Sherrichard asked, "Go and take them off. Be careful not to break them and trigger the system alarm."
"If you just remove it like this, it won't trigger the alarm?"
"Before they used orc heads to make computing components, they used human heads. Human brains are really fragile when used as computing components. They will break down after a period of time and have to be replaced. A long time ago, this computer room was used every few years.
A batch of components will be replaced. So the components can be repeatedly disassembled from the system."
...God knows when this SEELE system has existed, and how many people have been sacrificed to maintain its operation? And they must be smart people. People who are too stupid are not even qualified to be used as its computing components.
This damn system has devoured countless genius heads in the world. Thinking of this, Bedivere became very angry.
He endured his anger and carefully took out the five corresponding brains in the vat and placed them side by side on the ground.
"Are the rest going to be destroyed?" he asked when he saw Sherrichard setting up a time bomb.
"Yes, but we have to escape from South Africa first before we can detonate this computer room. If the SEELE system is destroyed like this, even the entry and exit management system will stop functioning, and then we will be trapped in South Africa."
(So, it’s not a big problem if the alarm goes off in this computer room...)
"Before that, do you want to check these brains in the vat to confirm which one belongs to your father?" Bedivere asked again: "Or should we take them away first and then investigate slowly when we go back?"
"Actually, I want to destroy them on the spot."
"What?"
"I want my father to rest in peace, that's all. Bombing the computer room doesn't necessarily guarantee that every brain in a vat here will be destroyed. Maybe there will be some left. Maybe it happens to be my father's. So I have to
Find his brain in a vat and destroy it with your own hands. Only by doing this can you ensure that he can rest in peace, right?"
"That's what it says..."
"In addition to my father's brain, the other four brains must also be the brains of people I know. Among the lion people I know, there are only a few guys with IQs over 160. So I probably know that the remaining four are
Who is it?" The Snow Lion girl said with a bitter smile: "Destroy their heads as well and let them rest in peace——"
"That's not what I want to say." Bedivere interrupted: "What I want to say is...don't you want to say your final goodbye to your father?"
"It can't be done. After being made into a brain in a vat, the visual and auditory nerves will be destroyed, and all connections with the outside world will be cut off. Their thinking has actually stopped, they just continue to receive instructions, and then calculate and process those instructions.
This is a complete computing element, with no thought or emotion left.
Father and the others are now living a never-ending nightmare. In the dream, they are given all kinds of unreasonable tasks, and they have to complete them without any time to breathe."
"Is this really the case?" The werewolf youth asked again: "Even if I remove them from the system, no more instructions will be entered?"
"Really." She affirmed: "Without inputting instructions, they are just waiting endlessly. But they still don't have their own thoughts and feelings."
Sherrichard looked at Bedivere slightly bitterly:
"Let them sleep peacefully in this silence forever, without being disturbed by any more instructions... Okay?"
"I can use the Yingqi Orb to awaken these memories in my mind for the last time." Bediwell still persisted in persuading: "You can see for the last time the beautiful memories left by your father. You may even hear them.
Those last words he intended to leave you..."
"It's meaningless." Sherrichard drew out his sword: "The person who dies is dead, and will never... come back!"
She did not specifically target any of the five brains in the vat, but ruthlessly swung her sword across a wide area: "Goodbye, Dad!"
The sharp sword smashed all five jars in one go, and the brain balls inside instantly turned into brain mush.
"It's over, it's over..." Only after everything was over, the Snow Lion girl showed her weakness for the first time. She knelt on the ground, covered her face and sobbed.
"Shirrichard..." Bedivere went over and hugged her tightly: "Cry if you want. I can't do anything right now...but I can lend you my shoulders."
"Idiot." Sherichard hugged the werewolf young man tightly and cried loudly.
