Embers Ad Infinitum

On a hill more than two hundred meters away from Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others, hidden by rocks and red pines, a short figure was hiding here, looking at the "Old Tune Group" and the Crimson Off-Road location.

He looks like a seven or eight-year-old child, but his hair is thinning and there are some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, mouth, and forehead that cannot be concealed.

It's like forcibly placing the head of a middle-aged and elderly man on the neck of a child. Looking at it as a whole, it is full of dissonance.

He is Professor Qin who is responsible for affairs related to Gerstberg.

Back then, the price he paid was "stagnation of physical development", and he thought he had gotten a bargain, because at that time, his adolescence was over, and he was already eighteen years old, so what development was there?

But as time went by, he finally understood why his mentor had a strange look in his eyes when he heard him telling him about his awakening.

His mentor didn't know what changes would occur as the degree of "physical arrest" deepened, but he kept telling him that those seemingly harmless costs often cost you more.

Professor Qin's development has not only stagnated, but has also regressed. After entering the "soul corridor", this situation has become more serious, so that his body now looks only seven or eight years old.

What pains Professor Qin the most is that reality is not a novel. There are no immortals or angels. Such regression must be accompanied by various diseases. Otherwise, how could a normal person "shrink" for no reason?

This made him miserable.

This is also the reason why he aspires to become a member of the "Professor Association":

He hopes to establish contact with the "Vice Dean" and other powerful people in the new world, get their guidance, and find the door to the "new world" in the "soul corridor" as soon as possible.

As long as he enters the "new world", he can abandon his current body!

Although he will still be negatively affected by the price, his consciousness is only as strong as a seven or eight-year-old, and the figure he appears is still the same as it is now, but at least he no longer has to be entangled in the terrible pain caused by physical degeneration.

Professor Qin once performed genetic modification in an attempt to save his body, but this undoubtedly failed.

His only gain was that his eyesight became very strong, just like Qiao Chu's, but he chose to keep a low profile and keep his eye color the usual dark brown instead of changing it to a conspicuous gold.

At this time, although he couldn't hear what Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others were saying, he could see their actions and found that they had either found grenade guns or were wearing military exoskeleton devices and replaced them with corresponding ones. ammunition.

This made Professor Qin suspect that the enemy wanted to bomb indiscriminately to force himself out.

He was not sure whether the ammunition base of the "Old Tune Team" could support such behavior, so he had to assume that it could instead of taking chances.

Professor Qin's first reaction, with a solemn face, was to retreat from a direction that the enemy could not see, because this action was a bit of his own initiative.

The order issued by the "Professor Joint Meeting" of the Eighth Research Institute to Professor Qin is to lead the target team to the ice sheet, wait until they are far away from Gerstberg, and then join the two special commissioners who came for reinforcements to form a siege. .

In this way, the possible intervention of the sleeping person in Gerstburg can be avoided.

As for why the "Professor Joint Conference" didn't let him directly invite the strong men from the "New World" and invite the "Vice Dean" and others to come remotely and deal with this enemy team that has been hunting for a long time like a lion fighting a rabbit, Professor Qin actually Know why:

After the last incident, "Doctor" hasn't appeared for a long time, and he hasn't given any orders. Rumor has it that he is still in fear.

Therefore, after discovering that the enemy was on guard, Professor Qin decisively gave up the idea of ​​looking through their memories and implanting corresponding scenes, and chose to look for another opportunity.

As for that power, even the members of the "Professor Association" of the Eighth Research Institute would probably not dare to use it unless it was a matter of life and death.

This has a high probability of causing backlash!

Professor Qin previously felt that the combination of himself and Qiao Chu could complement each other very well and avoid certain factors that might cause accidents, so he decided to go to this hilly area in advance to catch the enemy off guard and ask the "Vice Dean" They demonstrate their abilities.

——This place is almost three kilometers away from the edge of Gerstburg, and it is even further away from the castle. As long as we fight quickly and don't make too much noise, the person sleeping in Gerstburg will definitely not be able to find it, let alone Make the right response, and the team leaving the city will most likely still be immersed in the illusion that they are in a safe zone and have sufficient protection.

What Professor Qin hoped was that Qiao Chu would charm those people so that they would not be able to recall the scenes related to the ceremony, so that he could silently and calmly invade their brains and implant predetermined memories.

Afterwards, he will watch a fratricidal tragedy from a distance as a bystander.

At that time, the final "winner" will also choose to commit suicide because he made a big mistake and detonated the "bomb" buried in his memory.

But what Professor Qin didn't expect was that Qiao Chu, who had always been unfavorable before, would encounter his nemesis.

That person was not charmed!

Is he still human?

Professor Qin could only believe that the enemy had made corresponding preparations like gambling for the few special commissioners he knew, thus weakening the influence of Qiao Chu's charm to the greatest extent.

This caused him to be pressed for time and failed to complete the scheduled implantation. It also caused him to lose an assistant and had to consider evacuation.

Although if he retreats now, he will definitely be criticized by the "Professor Association", but as long as he is still alive and joins the reinforcements in the ice field, he will still have a chance to make a comeback and make up for his mistakes.

Professor Qin's thoughts turned around and he quickly made a decision:

Retreat is definitely necessary, but retreating hastily or blindly is not necessarily a good thing.

He is hiding here now, and the enemy cannot find him. But once he evacuates towards the ice field and makes a move, he may not be able to hide it from the robot.

After all, he didn't know what modules the robot had installed, whether it had a remote detection type, and he couldn't look through the other person's memory.

Also, he had to go to the place where the car was hidden first. It was impossible to enter the ice field with his feet. That would be because he would not die quickly enough. In this way, it would take a lot of time on the way and the risk of exposure would be quite high.

Professor Qin's plan is to advance before retreating.

This is a strategy that often appears in various wars in the old world: attack first, suppress the enemy, and then seize the opportunity to retreat. Otherwise, the entire team may collapse under the enemy's pursuit, and it is better to hold on.

Moreover, Professor Qin suffered from physical torture and his personality had become a bit extreme. The act of joining forces with Qiao Chu to launch an attack in advance was inherently gambling in nature.

Now he wants to take a gamble.

If he really completely suppressed the enemy and had the opportunity, he wouldn't mind letting the feint attack turn into a real attack and solving the problem on the spot.

If such an effect is not achieved, he will naturally choose to evacuate.

Professor Qin then picked up the glasses lying on the ground next to him and put them on the bridge of his nose.

This comes from the "Shattered Mirror" realm and can give the target hallucinations.

If Professor Qin hadn't used this prop to help secretly and influence Gnawa, it would have been difficult to achieve such a good effect just by relying on Qiao Chuwei's "electromagnetic interference" deep in the "soul corridor".

At this time, Professor Qin also planned to use it to deal with the robot.

The negative cost of this prop is that it is afraid of water, as if it is rabies. Therefore, when Professor Qin is evacuating, he will definitely find an opportunity to take off his glasses to avoid being frightened by puddles, streams, etc. and become paralyzed on the spot or go crazy. Back.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a gorgeous and classical pen from the small backpack containing the weapon.

This prop is called "Hobby Pen" and can create a hobby for a certain number of people within a certain range. The priority of this hobby will trump most things, allowing targets to satisfy their hobby as the leading guideline for their next actions.

The price of "a pen of love" is "anger", which can easily make people lose their minds.

Fortunately, Professor Qin's body was severely degenerated. Even if he was angry, he could not sustain it for too long and give him a sufficient response, which gave him a certain degree of self-control.

After looking at the "Old Tune Team" who had put on the exoskeleton device, changed the type of grenade, and were about to disperse around, each responsible for an area, Professor Qin no longer hesitated and let the classical pen in his hand reflect a faint red mango.

He created a hobby for human beings within the scope. When they go to the countryside, they want to sleep for a while while enjoying the refreshing morning wind and basking in the warm sun.

Not caring to see the enemy's reaction, he let the glasses on the bridge of his nose flash with tiny rays of light.

He is distorting environmental information and creating illusions for the robot!

Seeing Gnawa stop moving, Professor Qin quickly turned his gaze back to the group of humans.

They fell to the ground in a mess, and even the wooden statues fell aside.

At this moment, Professor Qin saw a man standing up with difficulty. Even though his eyes were closed and he was drowsy, he was still standing up with difficulty.
