Dream Guide

Hou Biao fell forward, and Qingmu retreated, pulled out the dagger, and then turned sideways to resist Hou Biao's forward leaning body with his shoulder.

He took a huge risk by doing this, which was tantamount to sending himself out without any protection. If Biao counterattacks at this time, whether it is an elbow strike, a knee strike, or strangling his neck with the wire in his hand, it will be difficult for Aoki to block him. Even if he can counterattack, he will be seriously injured.

Fortunately, Hou Biao didn't do anything. With the help of Qingmu's shoulder, he stabilized his body and put away the wire. His eyes showed indescribable desolation, but his face was still filled with the emotion of just now. He was flushed with excitement from the fight, and his face looked extremely funny.

"Why don't you kill me?"

"You said that as long as there is no difference between victory and defeat, we will be clear-cut. Since you will never deliberately kill me again in the future, what reason do I have to kill you now?"

"But it's obvious that I lost. It's not a tie."

Aoki returned the dagger in his hand to him and said, "Although your wire is very tricky, it is still at a disadvantage compared to the dagger's lethality. If it were the other way around, I might not be able to beat you."

Aoki had to admit that if we compare purely from the perspective of fighting strength, Hou Biao is a little stronger than him, at least in terms of muscle strength. After all, one trains all year round and the other sleeps all year round. The reason why he was able to win was, on the one hand, because his powerful mental power brought him sharper neural responses than ordinary people, and on the other hand, he did take advantage of his weapons.

Hou Biao didn't think so: "If you lose, you lose."

Aoki said: "You go."

Hou Biao said: "Okay, I won't cause you any trouble in the future." After saying that, he picked up the hat on the ground and turned around to leave. After walking a few steps, he turned back and reminded, "Master Jiang wants to kill you, and I am not the only one of his men." Alone." He added, "Although I won't cause trouble for you, if you want to kill him, I will still protect him."

Aoki said: "I know."

After Hou Biao left, Qingmu immediately called Hu Xing and asked her to pick up Poppy. Jiang Deguan wants to avenge his brother. If he can't do anything to Qingmu, he will definitely find a way to do something to the people around him. It was safe for Mei Yu to live at Shi Dazhuang's place. No matter how crazy a person was, they would not go to the criminal investigation captain's house to kidnap someone.

After the decoration of the bar was suspended, Xiao Qi and Mo Yu no longer had to come over for the time being. Aoki simply suggested that they go out for a few days of vacation. When he talked to Bishenghua, Bishenghua readily agreed and even privately funded Xiao Qi and Mo Yu with a sum of money.

Qingmu originally wanted Bishenghua to go out for a few days and come back after he finished dealing with Jiang Deguan's affairs. But Bishenghua said that it was boring to go out alone, and she was waiting for Lao Wang and Aunt Zhang to come back to have a good talk with them. Aoki can think about it. Anyway, he can still take care of one person's safety after spending his whole life. Even when he is not at home, there is a crow in the house.

After settling these things, Aoki immediately went to Mei Yiqiu's laboratory. He wanted to discuss future security issues with Mei Yiqiu.

For a meeting as big as Copenhagen, it was impossible to completely block the news. Moreover, intelligence and technology officials from various governments were already involved. Although they promised to keep secrets, everyone knew that the promises made by these officials were tantamount to farts.

The appearance of Hou Biao gave Qingmu a warning. The revenge of Jiang Deguan and his like was not terrible, and he would not take it seriously. At worst, he would find an opportunity to strike first. What he thought at the time was that if the gunman was sent by the intruder, then they would be in danger all the time in the future.

Mei Yiqiu did not think much about his own safety. He said: "Even if Leicester's last words were made public, not many people would believe that apart from a hot discussion on the Internet, it would not have any impact on society. . If those aliens are so frantic that they want to kill all the people who believe this last word, wouldn’t it mean that there is no silver in this place? If they are smart enough, they will not do this before they fully grasp the resources of this planet. .”

Aoki disagreed: "They don't need to kill all these people, they just need to kill a few important people among you and nip your plan to deal with them in the cradle. Of course, before that, I think their ultimate goal The best way to deal with it is to first capture one or two of you through consciousness invasion and obtain all the secrets."

"Well, we have also thought about this risk, so there are not many people who know the core plan." Mei Yiqiu said mysteriously, holding a pipe in his mouth, "We have broken down the entire plan into many sub-tasks and released them to the currently known People signed by Leicester, given jobs based on their credibility and abilities.”

"Is the plan you are talking about the box you are developing?" Aoki heard Mei Yiqiu talk about it, but there were too many abstract scientific concepts and he was too lazy to learn more about it.

Mei Yiqiu said: "Yes, it is like a box. In fact, there are already many scientific hypotheses and theories about human consciousness and thought, but the research in the scientific community is always inseparable from matter and energy, and there is no human It is deviant to separate consciousness from these things for research, just like scientists a hundred years ago who could not get rid of the ether. Lester's last words were like a fire, setting off the long-standing pile of information about the ether. The dry firewood of the theory of consciousness was ignited. And the genius Situ added another bucket of oil to this flame."

"Situ?"

"Yes, the theory of this box was what he mentioned in his letter to me. In the past, I would have thought this was an unrealistic lunatic, but he gave it to me only after Lester's last words appeared. , I believe this guy did it on purpose, and he knew that only then could I understand his thoughts."

"Actually, it's okay to put it bluntly." Mei Yiqiu looked at Aoki's confused look and added, "That box uses quantum droplets under high-frequency laser pulses to stimulate the nerve center of the human brain. This stimulation is simulated according to human senses. to guide people's consciousness to create a virtual environment. At this time, there will be a brief separation between the consciousness and the body, which is the camera obscura stage. At this stage, the consciousness will enter a camera obscura, which contains, in addition to the basic rules we set, There is nothing, and consciousness needs to create things on its own, including his own appearance.”

Aoki didn't quite understand the concept of quantum drops, and of course he knew that there were more scientific theories involved. Mei Yiqiu didn't tell him, but he understood the function of this box: "Isn't this just a dream? ?This is a... hypnotic box?"

Mei Yiqiu said: "It can be understood this way. People who use this box will create an independent virtual space, and the spaces of all users can be connected through basic rules. So we call it a 'space box'. In fact, , abandoning external neuron sensors and directly stimulating and receiving brain information, which is also in line with the future development direction of VR technology, we have just advanced it a few years."

"So the box, in addition to the hardware, also comes with a game that we call 'The Dream Guide.'"

"Our goal is that in the camera obscura stage, we can well distinguish whether this ontological consciousness is human or alien. Because according to Lester, this parasitic consciousness itself has no memory and exists apart from matter. Then when they enter the camera obscura stage, their nature will be stimulated, and they will think that they have not found a host yet, so their subsequent behavior must be different from humans."

"What will they do?" Aoki asked.

"I don't know." Mei Yiqiu said, "All scientific theories need to be supported by experiments, and I happen to have a patient here who is being invaded but has not yet succeeded in parasitism."

"Xia Wenyuan!" Qingmu opened his mouth in surprise, "You want to use him for experiments?"

In the last chapter, I wanted to see if I could write pure fighting, so I tried writing a chapter, and it felt okay. This chapter continues to return to science fiction, the theme has emerged, I hope everyone will support it.
