"Relax, this is just a simple brain scan to confirm if there is a foreign body in your brain."

Marvin looked at the slight unease on the expressions of the soldiers lying on the test bench, so comforted.

Beautiful women always have privileges, and Marvin's attitude towards him is not as cold as the military's, and his tight face is slightly relaxed.

The soldiers brewed for a while, and finally summoned the courage to speak before Marvin was about to start the machine.

"What will happen to us? How did the Empire plan?"

"I don't know. I'm just a scientific chief affiliated with the Academy of Sciences. What should you do with traitors in the military? You should ask those generals what they think."

"We have not betrayed! It's just... well, the assassination of the banquet is a fact, and many important people in the empire were killed by the assassination."

When the soldier heard Marvin's words, he was excited to refute something, but quickly became discouraged and regretted what he did that day. Obviously he also understood how serious what they did that day would be. as a result of.

However, the soldier still wants to argue that no one likes to go to hell, and what they do does not involve their family and even the whole family too much, and their descendants may be stigmatized for this...

"But these are not our intentions. We can do anything with the Empire, so please don't harm our family."

"So, you tell me these are useless."

Marvin stopped to adjust the machine, holding his forehead with a headache. Of the ten soldiers who checked the brain, nine of them said this to her, as if they had colluded in private.

"It’s all said that it’s not in my control. Although it seems to me that you are also victims, you have to do it. Those victims do not matter whether you are controlled by someone or not. They only need to know that the criminal who did these things is you. That's enough. The nobles of the empire can't wait to smash you into pieces, frustrate your bones and turn your bones into ashes. They have died a lot and injured a lot. They need an explanation, and the Amoeba is the same."

It is necessary for the empire to give appropriate punishments, in a sense, to protect these soldiers who had been mentally controlled.

Think about it, in those powerful families, highly respected figures were killed outside, and they wanted to bring prisoners to justice in order to comfort the sacrificed clansmen. This is a reasonable and reasonable appeal.

And if the empire is acquitted just because the soldiers are under mental control, and the family is not affected, it is naturally impossible to convince the victim’s family. They will think-since the empire does not intend to severely punish the murderer who attacked the banquet , Then we do it ourselves and punish them.

To reach that point, the victim's family was mixed with subjective resentment punishment, and it was feared that it would be hundreds of times more terrifying than the punishment given by the empire.

"You are still alive now, it is the result of a lot of pressure on the empire."

Marvin, who was a little unbearable, reminded him of the loss of the soldiers.

"However, if the pilgrim organization can be destroyed, your crimes should be reduced a lot, so you'd better pray that we can find something in your mind during the next inspection, not only for yourself, but also for yourself. It’s for your family."

"Sleep quietly and leave it to me with peace of mind."

In the end, Marvin injected the soldiers with sleeping pills and waited for the soldiers' breathing to become stable and relieved. After falling asleep, she began to operate the instrument to scan.

Soon, the instrument projected a three-dimensional image, and the soldier's brain was clear at a glance.

Marvin waved his hand, and the projection was transformed into an analysis diagram for Marvin to observe.

After a while, Marvin sighed and shook his head disappointedly.

"Hey, there is no foreign body in this one. How did the pilgrims achieve mind control? No drug residues have been detected before. Is it possible that everyone who becomes a pilgrim can magic?"

Marvin walked out of the isolation room constructed of heavy metal plates, and met a familiar scientific chief who was good at spiritual fields.

"Marvin, is it over on your side?"

"Yeah, no results, what about you?"

Marvin handed the report in his hand to the other party, who looked at it and returned it to Marvin.

"We have just prepared to proceed. This time we intend to enter the deepest part of the soldiers' consciousness, and perhaps there will be new discoveries.

With that said, the two went to another isolation room with only one chair inside. The whole room was empty. On the chair was a soldier who was restrained in the chair and completely unable to move.

This is to prevent the soldiers from being irritated during hypnosis and causing complete threat to themselves or others.

"Are you all ready?" the chief science officer looked at the scholar in his research institute and asked.

"It's all ready."

The scholar nodded, and the hypnosis quickly began. With the hypnotic spray that gradually increased in concentration in the isolation room, and the guidance of the illusory words, the soldier quickly entered a state of hypnosis.

"Hancock, relax, don't be afraid, the empire is behind you... now you have returned to the eighth day of a cycle of reincarnation, the empire calendar 1895.23.12, time at night 25:44..."

"Tell me, what did you see?"

"Black, very dark..."

"Because the lights were turned off?"

"Yes, it is……"

"Have you heard anything?"

"The sound of footsteps~lightnovelpub.net~ is getting closer, and there is the sound of breathing, he is talking..."

"What did you say?"

"I don't understand."

"Speak out what you can understand."

"... Pilgrims... Truth... The necessary price..."

"Then it?"

"Yes, there is something in my head, it's uncomfortable..."

"No, the instrument did not detect any foreign objects."

Marvin shook his head. This answer has already been said, and the examination of the soldier's brain was also based on this statement, but the instrument showed that the soldier's brain was normal.

"That seems to be the soldier's subjective illusion."

I have also seen the scientific chief reported by Marvin, and judged this way, but another scholar present had a different opinion.

"It's hard to say, the instrument is not omnipotent."

"...Ask which part of the brain specifically."

Following the illusory questions, the soldiers answered intermittently.

"Forehead, forehead is uncomfortable..."

"It's the thinking zone. If you really want to dominate your mind, you must target this place. This is in line with reality, but... the instrument scan did not find any foreign objects there."

Everyone's doubts were aroused along with the soldier's answer. In this way, it may not be a subjective illusion, but something that really exists.

"Can you smell anything? Or feel something you are touching."

"No, no, no more feeling..."

Except for the uncomfortable forehead, the other information was already learned through hypnosis. Marvin and several other scientific chiefs discussed for a while and made a decision.

"Get ready, let's perform a craniotomy to see what is in the thinking zone."
