Chapter 142 The Real Side

“Mr. Reagan, have you ever been to the [cemetery] under the organization?”

　　When Yi Chen, who was standing in front of the door, asked this question, the atmosphere in the originally ordinary room suddenly changed.

Snapped!

The iron door of a rental apartment closes itself without any contact.

Yi Chen also noticed that this seemed to be caused by some kind of spirit-related force, "It's the same as the previous situation when the button fell. Is it an influence of the spirit on reality?" Is this the strength of Induction 7? 』

at this time,

Reagan, who was too lazy to get up at first, actually took the initiative to clear away the tableware. After the living room was tidied up, he sat back down.

 He crossed his fingers on the table and looked at Yi Chen with a serious look that he had never seen before, "If you don't mind, let's talk some more?"

"OK."

As soon as Yi Chen sat back down in his original seat, he could feel a sense of spiritual oppression.

 Such a sense of oppression can never be possessed by human beings who are idle, eating and waiting to die.

Even a true genius must have experienced killing, life and death before he can give people such a feeling.

In fact, the first time Yi Chen came to rent a house underground, he felt a sense of dissonance. Why did the regular employees of the power station live in such a low-cost rental house? They obviously had such high attribute values ​​but chose to live together, etc. die.

As Yi Chen pointed out the key word "cemetery", the false surface that was deliberately hidden began to fade away.

 Ludwig Reagan began to take the initiative to show his true side.

 Reagan looked into Yi Chen’s eyes and asked in a low voice: "Can you...see it?"

“Being able to see... To be precise, it should be ‘she’ who let me see it on purpose.

Perhaps it’s because this lady smelled the remaining atmosphere of the cemetery in me. After all, I also came from a cemetery under the organization. "

While speaking, Yi Chen deliberately moved his eyes behind Reagan and nodded to the female corpse, which was both virtual and real.

“Were you a gravekeeper? In which cemetery?”

 “Seven Days Cemetery.”

“I heard it, it seems to be a small special cemetery.”

 When speaking of this, Reagan seemed to see something and shook his head helplessly, and continued:

"Is it really such a coincidence? Since I dropped out of school, no junior students have ever come to the power station to look for me... You are the first one, and it happens to be related to the cemetery.

If I guessed correctly, it was Principal Desline who asked you to come here, right? "

Yi Chen didn't hide anything. He put the principal's business card on the table and began to briefly tell what happened.

“…That’s probably it. Although it’s the principal’s recommendation, the main thing is that I want to ask for you, and I want to improve my perception.”

 At this time.

Yi Chen suddenly leaned forward, moved his right forearm onto the wooden table, and tapped his fingers on the table regularly, trying to take the initiative in the conversation:

“If I guess correctly, Mr. Reagan, you dropped out of school and came to the power station, maybe it was also the principal’s guidance.

 The reason why the principal is willing to give up an outstanding student like you is probably because you have met the [requirements] set by her in advance.

 For example, reaching the "transcendence" level of induction in a short period of time... What you call easy to achieve induction [7] is actually not easy, and you must have paid an extraordinary price and effort.

 In other words, you have been working hard since you stepped into Zion, and use every minute and every second for your own growth. "

Hearing this, Reagan smiled slightly and did not deny Yi Chen's speculation, "Is there more?"

Since the other party was not disgusted, Yi Chen continued:

“Mr. Reagan, you did not hesitate to work day and night to improve [Induction], but you also gave up the resources from the principal, gave up your identity as a student and came to the power station.

It’s never because you want to lie flat, but only with a power station, it is possible to achieve your [purpose], a purpose that is extremely difficult and has almost no precedent.

 You are trying to resurrect the lady behind you through ‘technology’ and ‘electricity’ related means.

 Obviously, you have achieved certain results,

 Let her reach a special state between entity and incorporeal body. There is no need to rely on any power generation device, as long as the "bioelectricity" generated by your body can continue to exist.

 Even she has regained some consciousness and can respond to the cemetery atmosphere in me.

However, it is far from enough to fully restore consciousness.

 Until you achieve this goal, you will stay in the power station to continue research. "

 Hearing such detailed speculation, Reagan also smiled slightly and slowly returned to his usual homely state.

“As you said, before [Faye] regains consciousness, I must stay at the power station to continue research on the “circuit diagram of consciousness.” "

"Can you tell me the details of Miss Faye? Maybe I can help."

“If someone in Zion can help, Principal Deslin will not direct me to the power station to find a way on my own... However, Faye seems to like the smell of you, so it doesn’t matter if we chat.

I am very grateful to the organization and the cemetery it set up, which allowed me to have a glimpse of hope in the midst of complete despair.

About ten years ago, I carried the remaining half of Fay’s spine alone to find a larger cemetery that required five gravekeepers at the same time - [Camberliel Cemetery].

It happened that the cemetery was recruiting people, and my excellent perceptual skills allowed me to easily pass the interview as a tombkeeper... Then I made a request to the supervisor there.

 While I was working, Faye’s spine needed to be buried in a special cemetery with a ‘resurrection effect’.

 The supervisor agreed, but the price was that I had to bear the workload of two people and work continuously for nine years without any salary.

Perhaps my supervisor never thought that I could work for nine years and leave alive, but I did it.

 Nine years later,

 I dug up Faye's grave, and she "grew up" as she wished. The remaining spine has grown into a complete human body. No matter the body size or facial features are the same as before, it is even growing at the same time.

It is a pity that her brain was destroyed and her consciousness could not be formed in the cemetery.

After listening to the advice of Director Xun, I dragged her body, participated in the organizational assessment and passed it, and took her to the city of Zion to seek a way to restore consciousness.

 Just as you guessed,

 The principal made a bet with me that if I could get the induction to [7] within half a year, she would write me a letter of recommendation for the power station.

 Let me be an exceptional researcher and be able to borrow the scientific research results of Zion and the equipment of the Electric Power Research Institute to reshape consciousness from scratch.

However,

 This process is more complicated than I thought.

ˆ Even if I study day and night, combining my own abilities and the resources of the institute,

It was only through the "virtual grid" that she became the semi-entity she is now, and she could only realize the simplest conscious activities through current conduction.

This level of awareness is far from enough. I still need greater technological breakthroughs.

 Perhaps it can be done tomorrow, or it may be ten or twenty years from now. "

Yi Chen nodded silently, probed further into his head, and gave a suggestion:

“Your induction has reached a transcendent value of [7]. If you can achieve a breakthrough through the relic, your ability as a prototype master will be qualitatively improved. By then, you may quickly achieve technological breakthroughs and even create your own consciousness.”

 Reagan shook his head,

"Faye lost everything in the gray realm, and I tried my best to bring out only one of her spines. Now she is gradually recovering and is completely tied to me through the "virtual grid." I don't want to risk this again. Risk, and didn't want to evoke her nightmare memories in the gray realm.

 That’s it, I’m very happy to be able to talk to you so much, and Faye is very happy too...Thank you Mr. William!

I will take the time to write it down in detail about my experience with [Induction] and mail it to you. "

"OK."

Seeing that the other party was resolute, Yi Chen no longer stayed long.

 After Yi Chen, the unexpected visitor related to the cemetery, left.

Miss Faye, who was supposed to return to Reagan's body as a microcurrent, showed no sign of disappearing.

She suddenly moved her body and came close to Reagan's ear, using her tongue full of holes to make bursts of electromagnetic sounds... expressing a certain wish through simple words.

 “Follow….” After saying this, he disappeared.

 Reagan sat for a long time, then walked to the bedroom,

 He rummaged through the drawers at the bottom of a pile of girl figurines with the same appearance and found a metal cigarette box.

 Take out a cigarette and put it in your mouth,

　　The cigarette holder is ignited by the electric spark produced by snapping the fingers.

While exhaling the smoke ring, I pulled out an old photo hidden in the cigarette case - [A ten-year-old girl dressed as an electrician is hitting a handsome young man on the head with a wrench]
