Chapter 298 Can a bionic superhuman dream of a virtual grotesque worm?(1/2)
Chapter 298 Can bionic extraordinary beings dream of virtual grotesque insects?
Chen Yan remained silent.
He remembered that the missionary who was currently locked up with Vivian in the zoo, Holy Light 13, was such an existence.
"Their souls...may come from the Choir's [Holy Light] belief."
Chen Yan guessed.
"As for what the [Holy Light] is, I don't know, but after all, it is an extraordinary mysterious power that is worshiped as a god. Perhaps the [souls] of monks and missionaries are given by the [Holy Light]?"
Ogami exclaimed: "It's really...wonderful."
Chen Yan nodded in agreement.
Ogami continued:
"The second enemy I encountered tonight is a modified human that is a mixture of machinery and flesh.
Although it is said to be a human being, I am actually not sure whether that thing is a human transformed from a machine or a machine transformed from a human."
Chen Yan understood what he meant and shuddered violently.
To transform a person from a machine is to transform an "inanimate" thing into a "living" thing - through extraordinary means? Or maybe it is some kind of mysterious scientific system? Chen Yan doesn't know much about this.
It is much simpler to transform humans into machines. Most of them involve replacing part of the body with machinery - with current methods, it is nothing more than surgery.
No matter which one, it will trample on life, and even be "blasphemous" to a certain extent.
Or it might be worse than he imagined.
"This kind of enemy is more troublesome. They have powerful firepower, flexible bodies and quick thinking. I almost didn't catch up with the last one."
By implication, he killed them all.
"But the weirdest thing is the last kind of enemy."
"This kind of enemy has no body, and exists like a soul, but it is not as void as a soul. Well... how should I put it, I have never seen anything like that before."
Ogami uttered a phrase: "The materialized ghost."
An idea flashed in Chen Yan's head: "Violent spirit?"
Ogami asked: "What is that?"
Chen Yan said: "It seems to be some kind of [programmed life] from the William Adams Group. There are many types and have extraordinary power. I don't know much information about violent spirits now. I only know that those things are non-carbon-based."
.”
Ogami said indifferently: "Ah, is that so? It doesn't matter. Anyway, we will meet again in the future."
Be confident and fearless.
Chen Yan scratched his head: "I guess, since things like the Violent Spirit run according to established procedures, they themselves should not have very complete thinking abilities and can only think and behave according to a certain fixed logic.
.”
Ogami's eyes showed memories: "Listening to what you said, I remembered that those embodied ghosts do have very fixed ways of doing things and extraordinary abilities, and the abilities they displayed...
It is not owned by the extraordinary people native to the empire that I encountered before."
Chen Yan thoughtfully said: "Perhaps the William Adams Group used the knowledge of the foreign gods to create the [Raging Spirit], so the abilities displayed belong to the foreign gods and not to the empire itself."
Ogami pondered: "Maybe."
Chen Yan looked at the barrier spirit on the ground: "What are you going to do with this thing?"
Ogami said truthfully: "I haven't thought about it yet, this thing is dead, but the parts in the body are very troublesome, but if you discard it casually, it may cause trouble."
Chen Yan looked at the body of the barrier spirit, and an idea suddenly came to his mind: "If we repair it, maybe we can use it as waste? Ogami, let me see what's in its head."
Ogami waved the knife gently, and a perfect arc appeared on the forehead of the barrier spirit.
Immediately afterwards, the "thing" in the enchantment spirit's head appeared in the field of vision.
He squatted down, holding a kerosene lantern in his left hand for lighting, and a small piece of wood he picked up from the utility room in his right hand to stir and observe.
The thing looks like a "brain" as a whole, but it is completely different from an ordinary brain. The whole thing is made of machinery, with a complex gear transmission structure on the periphery, wrapped in the center with the emblem of the Holy Chorus [Holy Light] printed on it.
, something that looks like a walnut.
This... is a mechanical brain.
What is the "walnut" in the middle for?
The "walnut" is obviously not made of metal, and is dry and ugly. It looks incompatible with the sophisticated metallic beauty of the entire mechanical brain.
Chen Yan was about to get the "walnuts" when the voice of wish suddenly sounded in his ears.
'do not touch!'
Chen Yan immediately withdrew his hand and said curiously: "You haven't left yet!"
Ogami didn't say anything. He had long felt the presence of wish, and the pure and gentle aura coming from wish made him let down some of his vigilance.
'I think this thing is very interesting, so I want to see it again.'
Chen Yan did indeed hear curiosity in Wish's domineering tone.
Ogami couldn't hear the voice of wish, and said regretfully: "That [spirit] seems to only want to talk to Mr. Yan."
Wish continued:
’ I’ve only seen two models of monks before, but I haven’t dissected them, so I don’t know what’s inside their heads…
This thing is obviously a creation of the Choir, but it does not belong to the [Commandments] or [Hymn]. Is it a new model besides this?
This kind of thing only appeared recently. Why?’
Chen Yan thought:
"I once had a conversation with [Psalm 13], a man who turned into a rabbit in the zoo - an android who looked like a missionary. He mentioned some kind of technology, which was obviously some kind of advanced technology. Maybe it has something to do with these bionics.
It’s about people.”
A few seconds later, the voice of desire appeared again:
"If you put your hands on the four sides of the iron lump, you will feel four metal buckles. The two opposite sides are in a group and must be pressed at the same time to open them.
Remember, don’t touch that [walnut], otherwise you will be dead.’
Chen Yan picked up the kerosene lantern and looked around the mechanical brain, and sure enough he saw four buckles.
He followed his wish, carefully pressed the buckle, and opened the two opposite sides.
After opening the last set of buckles, a slightly dull metallic sound of "click" came from the mechanical brain.
The "walnut" began to shake and was about to fall out.
He immediately retracted his hand and allowed the walnut to roll out of the mechanical brain and fall to the ground without any movement.
'This thing... I can't tell what it is, I can only feel a hint of [divinity] from it.'
The voice of desire echoed in Chen Yan's mind.
'This trace of divinity is why you cannot touch it.'
'Divinity is an extension of the divine touch, like an invisible body.'
'Different from your imagination, the gods of this world are not the omniscient and omnipotent ones you know...but they are enough to detect your existence through the 'touched divinity'.'
'Being targeted by gods is not a good thing, not to mention that the origins of the gods in the Chorus are complex. Some of them even stand on the opposite side of the [Holy Light]. They are just gangs that have been incorporated. Their methods are far beyond the ordinary.
Your imagination.'
When Chen Yan listened to her words, he immediately remembered the long river of endless world memory fragments he had seen in her eyes.
There must be my memory in that river!
Chen Yan immediately frowned: "How do you know that I think God is omniscient and omnipotent... Look at my memory!"
Wish was noncommittal and did not answer his words. Instead, he continued according to his own thoughts:
'So, what exactly is this 'walnut'?'
She seemed to suddenly change the subject:
'For a weak carbon-based creature like human beings, even if the pineal gland is fully evolved and [spiritual vision] reaches its limit, there are still many things that cannot be seen.'
'To the extent that the fully evolved pineal gland has reached, that is the extent to which human spiritual vision can be achieved.'
‘This world is not as simple as what you see in your eyes. The mortal world is layered. The stronger your spiritual vision is, the deeper the world can be seen.
Only when your spiritual vision is strong enough can you see what the world really looks like.’
'I looked at it before. Even if you can fully evolve your pineal gland, which is the level of an ordinary transcendent, you will never be able to become a superior in this life.'
Chen Yan: "You guy..."
Wishful ignored his shouting and continued:
’ The demihuman’s pineal gland has been strengthened by the [Lyranthropic Virus], which is stronger than that of humans, and the [Ultimate Vision Range] of spiritual vision is farther.
In other words, when the pineal gland of a demi-human has evolved to its limit, that is, when it is fully awakened, it can generally see more ‘things’ than a human.’
