Soon after, the man in the trench coat woke up in a daze and found himself in a strangely wide space.

There was a ball of light in front of it, and there were strange countless twisted energy threads inside, and strange and complex spatial fluctuations continued to emanate from there.

He was weak all over, and when he looked down, he saw a strange kind of rattan wrapped around his body, densely packed, and this rattan grew many spikes and roots, which pierced into his body from the acupuncture points all over his body.

Violently paralyzing juice was injected into his body, and at the same time, there was a faint fluctuation overflowing, inhibiting the activity of the mind-controlled nanobots in his body. The venom and energy fluctuations were precisely proportionally controlled, causing his organs to fail and die, and some of the rattans also acted as blood vessels, pumping his blood from one place to another and releasing it.

In short, he has lived in symbiosis with this strange rattan, and if he pulls it off, he will most likely die in an instant. And this rattan suppressed the vitality of his body.

If there is enough time, such as decades, it can be slowly refined and controlled with its own mind-controlled nanobots, but where is so much time now?

"What is this?" exclaimed the man in the trench coat.

His voice was weak, but he was able to speak.

A voice came from the side: "This is a symbiotic blood vine that I researched, a kind of poison ivy on the Azure Star, which was genetically modified and implanted into the genes of some animals, how about it?"

The man in the trench coat turned his head slightly in shock, and saw Zhanfei.

I also saw a mysterious old man standing next to him, the old man smiled, walked back to the distorted ball of light, and sat on a stone - now his situation was not right, and he was not willing to use his strength to create a stone table or stone bench or something.

"Okay, now that you've woken up, let's start answering questions...... Zhanfei asked, "What's your name, where are you from, and what is the purpose of coming to this Azure Star?"

The trench coat man sneered at his face. opened his mouth and was about to make a sound, when his expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Young man......" The mysterious old man's voice came: "The old man advises you not to lie." The power of the old man can make it impossible for people to tell lies out of their mouths. ”

"How is that possible?" the man in the trench coat was surprised.

As if he had a thought, his heart jumped: "Divine power?"

"Hehe, why do you need divine power, you just need to know the characteristics of your brain waves, and know the changes in your brain waves when you lie, and you can judge it. If your strength is normal, you can control some of your brain wave changes. I deceived the old man, but it's a pity ......" the mysterious old man shook his head.

The man in the trench coat had an ugly face.

Zhan Fei said: "Okay, don't waste time, tell me your identity and what your purpose is." ”

The man in the trench coat was silent.

Zhan Fei said: "If you don't answer, aren't you afraid of death?"

The man in the trench coat laughed: "If I answer, I'm afraid I'll die faster." ”

Zhan Fei said: "Not necessarily, if you answer, maybe we will let you go." ”

"Do you think I'll believe it?" the trench coat man sneered.

The mysterious old man said: "In the past, aliens came to this planet. was captured by the old decay, controlled, and forced to ask something interesting...... It's a pity that there are no more secrets to go deeper, so they can only be put back. They should still be alive by now. Stay in an alien world. Then, you may also be let go. ”

The man in the trench coat was silent for a while, and smiled bitterly: "I don't believe you will really let me go." ”

Zhan Fei said: "You can only believe it now. If you don't say it, it's a big deal to detect your brain wave changes after the fact, and it's carefully calculated. Knowing how to crack the data in your brain's memory area will force your memory to be read. ”

The man in the trench coat sighed slightly, and looked at the mysterious old man: "The purpose of my coming here, the old man should be able to guess some, before that, maybe I answered the question, you will let me go." But now...... I know so much that even if I answered the question, you probably wouldn't let me go.

"On the contrary...... I can't control the rest of my body, and I can't fake my brain waves, but some of my brain cells can be controlled. When I find myself in a coma again, my brain automatically destroys the memory cells inside, enough for you to get false information. ”

Zhanfei's face turned cold: "Are you threatening us?"

The man in the trench coat said: "How dare you, it's just to save your life." ”

Zhan Fei said: "If you want to save your life, just cooperate obediently, and then I can let you go." ”

The man in the trench coat said, "How are you going to let me go?" I want to know your solution. You won't let me leave with secrets. ”

Zhan Fei said: "It's true that you can't leave with secrets, and it's even better not to let you remember being interrogated." So, I can assure you that if you answer well, then...... I can just erase your memories and let you go in peace. ”

"Your strength ......" The man in the trench coat shook his head: "On par with me, how do I know that you won't accidentally destroy too much of my brain domain and cause me to become an idiot?"

Human memories are not just stored in a certain area of the brain. The areas related to emotions, the areas related to thinking, all contain memories.

To clean up certain memories, it is inevitable to touch the thinking and emotional areas. This part of the brain cell cannot be destroyed directly and then repaired in a brutal way. It's easy to be silly or lose emotion.

"The old man can guarantee ......," the mysterious old man's voice came.

"Can you guarantee it?" the trench-coat man asked rhetorically.

The mysterious old man said: "Didn't the old man say it? There were aliens who invaded this blue star before, and after being captured by the old man, he put it back...... The reason why they were released was because all their memories of the Azure Star had been erased, and they didn't know anything that was going on here.

"There were several more batches that were treated like this. Because of this, no other alien has dared to descend here with his real body recently, not even to connect close to this star system. Only you dare to come in person.

"Those explorers who stayed in the alien world, who have been to the Azure World and put them back, the old man doesn't believe that you haven't been in contact with them. Is there something wrong with their thinking skills? Is there something wrong with their emotional expression and so on? Are too many parts of their memories unintentionally erased? Are there any other memories of them that have been accidentally erased except for those related to the Azure Star?"

The man in the trench coat was stunned for a moment, and carefully recalled the people he had come into contact with, and it was indeed normal. He had investigated before coming to Azure Star. I've been in contact with people who came here and then went back inexplicably and lost their memories. After they returned, they had been carefully examined in the hospital, and the results were quite good. But whether there are sequelae can not be seen in a short time.

Many people think that the Azure Star is very mysterious, so they think that this place is too weird to mess around. After all, this method of erasing memories and throwing them back is already a warning. But the man in the trench coat is bold and bold, relying on his strength and insisting on coming in person.

Now, even if there is an incarnation in the outside world, the ontology here cannot be connected with the outside world, and it is impossible for those who have erased part of their memories to re-check whether there is really no aftermath, and if so, whether the aftermath is serious or not.

"Alright. Don't think about it, squeaky crooked, don't forget, you're still a captive. Zhan Fei said: "Everything we said just now is enough to calm your heart." It's time for you to be honest. If you don't know each other, don't blame us for using the most drastic tactics. Even if the incomplete memories you get will lead to your complete death, you can't care about it. ”

The man in the trench coat changed his face suddenly, paused, and said, "Maybe...... Do we have a solution?"

"Huh?"

"I confide in my secret. I'll answer whatever you want. But, after the fact, I'm working with you guys on what you want to do. I'll just help out, how?"

"Huh?" Zhanfei frowned.

The man in the trench coat said: "I am a high-level interstellar mercenary, and I can be regarded as a high-level interstellar adventurer and a high-level interstellar explorer. Multi-ethnic historical researchers, etc., are quite useful. I see that this young friend claims to be a scattered person who accidentally landed on this planet, but seems to be doing something to unify the mortal forces of this world. That should preserve the world. The old gentleman should be the master here, right? Is it the task you gave him? He can help you complete the task, and so can I.

"Also, brother, I don't want to rob you of your task, I can help you complete the task without taking a penny afterwards, or only a small amount of benefits. The reward for the task is yours. ”

Zhanfei's heart moved.

If this mysterious man helps, it can indeed relieve him a lot of pressure. But unfortunately, the foundation of his plan has been laid. The next thing doesn't need to be stared at all the time, although it is important, but it only takes one order to help someone to do it, and there is no shortage of helpers. However, in terms of high-end combat power, it would be good if there was such a guy to help.

But unfortunately, this guy's identity is unknown, his origin is unclear, and it is not clear whether he will reveal the secrets of this planet.

However, it's not impossible to take advantage of it.

Zhan Fei smiled: "You don't want to be erased from your memory, right? That's not impossible, first confide everything you know." In addition, if you really want to help, at most you can only be a logistics staff and help integrate some things in the back, your greatest value, being a senior thug, but you can't do it. But I am not intolerant of you. ”

This is a bit vain, for the sake of the man's heart.

The man probably didn't know that the fragment of his dark artifact had been destroyed, otherwise he wouldn't have been reconciled with Zhanfei. Therefore, this man's memory must be erased. Or simply kill it, otherwise Zhanfei will not feel at ease. But since he promised to let him go, in order to show his integrity to the mysterious old man, Zhanfei couldn't kill him directly.

However, erasing the memory is imperative, and it is impossible to cooperate with him.

The man in the trench coat didn't know, but only groaned slightly, and then said, "My name is Dupont." ”

Zhanfei's eyes widened suddenly.

"Why, you've heard my name?" said the man in the trench coat.

Zhan Fei said: "No, there are too many things with the same name and surname in the universe. DuPont, hehe......"

As if it is a name that is different in language, homophones do not agree, more.

"As I said before, a high-level interstellar mercenary and a high-level interstellar adventurer. So occasionally I take on some tasks. I was given the task of coming to this planet to investigate some of the situation. Dupont Road.

Zhan Fei said: "With your strength and level, you can take on some tasks that pay quite well. What is there on this planet that is worth investigating?"

Just an investigation mission, and the payment can make this trench coat man take action?

Du Pont said: "When I saw this old gentleman, I realized that the situation here is a little different from that mission, and it is a misunderstanding from the nearby mission center, and the information is wrong." ”

"What kind of mission is it?" Zhan Fei asked in a deep voice.

"Some adventurers have declared that something terrible has appeared here," Dupont said. It was conclusive, and some specious evidence was presented, and then he was killed. The people of the Adventurer's Guild don't know if the adventurer was killed for revealing something he shouldn't have revealed, or if he was just a puppet who spread rumors and was killed. But just in case, I secretly issued an S-class task and asked people to come and investigate. So, I made a move......"

"Let's be clear!!" Zhan Fei asked in a deep voice, "There's something terrible here? What is it? It's still an S-class mission." ”

The S-level is super, and there are 2S or 3S or something on it, and there are even saint-level missions. It cannot be completed by non-Half-Saint and Hybrid Saint level adventurers. But it's extremely rare, and even if it's released, no one will necessarily pick it up. Either way, an S-Class mission is a big deal enough to alarm a galaxy. For example, the appearance of such an incident in the galaxy is enough to make the major countries and major families and major forces in the galaxy nervous, and even a large number of troops are mobilized.

This is true even in other lower and middle galaxies. Therefore, S-level or above is not easy to publish, and even if the cloth is often dark hair, not open hair. Not to a certain point.

However, some adventurers have the strength to get their hands on an S-class mission, and they will break it down and release it into multiple A-class and B-class missions. For example, you have to kill a star-hungry giant beast that is crazy about jumping around space and devouring planets. The high-level adventurer will take it, and it will be broken down into a series of investigations into the walking route and location of the star-hungry giant beast, especially locking this crazy giant beast that constantly jumps in space, which requires the ability of special people.

So. On this blue planet, it is understandable that there are a large number of weak incarnations of alien powerhouses. It's just that. What exactly is an S-Class mission?

"It is said that on this planet, there are suspected 'malignant superbrain' lifeforms. ”

"Malignant superbrain?" Zhanfei frowned.

"Not bad...... Dupont's face grim: "'Malignant superbrain' is also called 'malignant superintelligent lifeform'." The most typical case is this...... A planet has built powerful computers, optical brains, intelligent brains and other supercomputers, and handed over a large amount of social data to this computer.

"Suddenly, one day, the computing core of this computer was transformed into a semi-biological organism, possessing the ability to evolve itself, and evolved into a true consciousness, becoming a living being. It can control all kinds of electronic instruments and countless information in the whole world and society.

"It is a new and powerful electronic life. However, this is innocent. The sinful thing is that some electronic life in the human world does whatever it wants. For example, the world is given birth to a 'virtual reality network', where people can enter the virtual world through special instruments. Electronic data can be directly connected to human nerve signals.

"There are some electronic lifeforms, and they take advantage of this to make the whole world use instruments to transfer all their consciousness into the virtual world and become weak electronic life. Then in the virtual world, all the consciousness and memories of these people will be devoured, and they will strengthen themselves and further strengthen themselves.

"After that, the false memories are rewritten and fed into those who use the 'virtual reality' device. All people in the world have some smart chips implanted in their bodies, either silicon-based or carbon-based or simply biochemical chips, which are similar to human brain cells or insect cells, such as natural organs, which are generally not easy to detect. There are some clever ones that can even transform some brain cells of living people into biochemical intelligent chips, which look no different from normal brains.

"The whole human world, all people, first become vegetative and then become the 'incarnation' of this powerful life form. This kind of terrible thing born in electronic computers is called 'malignant super-intelligent lifeforms', and there are also called 'demonized electronic lifeforms' and so on.

"Each of them is extremely harmful, and some are even capable of invading other planets through wireless signals, and invading the networks of distant galaxies through space networks. As long as this 'demonized electronic life' is strong enough to successfully invade other worlds, it can easily kill all ordinary people in other worlds, devour memories and consciousness, merge everyone's thinking ability and memory, and then turn the remaining bodies of those people into 'incarnations'.

"In a short period of time, its potential mass will expand rapidly. There have been many terrible catastrophes in the history of large galaxies, and the number of dead people is endless, and the first time this kind of disaster occurs, it still depends on the action of the Mixed Yuan Saints and Demigods.

"So, now that this kind of demonized electronic life form has been discovered, I have to issue an S-class mission. ”

Zhan Fei gasped, but after thinking about it, he said, "This electronic life form is really so harmful? It can easily invade the network of other worlds, and still control the whole world?"

DuPont said: "The lower the moral constraint of all electronic life, the higher the rate of IQ increase." Computers that serve human beings and are constrained by the underlying hardware rules of the computer, even if intelligence is born, will not be too strong and rebellious, and some have the means to deal with it. But the one that is out of control is hard to say.

"Just like the mortals on this blue star, the ordinary cells on the body, no matter how powerful the cells are, they don't have much impact on the body. But if the cells are cancerous, they are no longer bound by the various rules of the body, and will only indiscriminately devour the body's nutrients and energy and then divide and multiply, polluting other beneficial cells, so that a large number of cells no longer obey the physiological rules of the human body, and finally ...... It's easy to get the whole person dead. Unless the cancer is cut out and the corresponding organs and cells are remade.

"And the demonized electronic lifeform is like that. ”

Zhanfei's eyes flashed. I was secretly frightened.

This thing sounds outrageous, how could such a thing pop up on this Azure Star?

But DuPont doesn't look like he's lying, with Zhanfei and the mysterious old man watching.

However, it may not be without reason...... The situation seems more complicated, more troublesome, and more interesting than you think......"

Zhan Fei couldn't help but look at the mysterious old man. (To be continued.) )
