"Pfft, haha..." The woman couldn't help laughing.
"Laugh! What's so funny! Is this normal!?" Liao Zhong curled his lips,
"You are a doctor, how can you still not understand this?"
"Of course I understand, but I won't do men's surgeries like yours." The woman shook her head helplessly.
"If the so-called "turbulent destiny" you mentioned is true, then in a sense, you are quite powerful. After all... others will die when they come to my side."
"Tsk... shouldn't I still feel proud?" Liao Zhong whispered in a speechless voice. But he seems to be unable to think of any good solution for this woman for the time being, unless... he really finds a disease that the other party cannot cure, as the other party said...
"Didi, di, di, -" Suddenly, a rapid siren sounded from Liao Zhong's wrist. Something happened with the Gu Body Saint Boy.
He raised his wrist and took a quick look. Oh my god, it was more volatile than his stock, which made him suffer from high blood pressure.
"Huh? What happened? This sound doesn't sound like an alarm clock, does it?" The woman opposite looked at Liao Zhong with a serious look on his face with interest.
"Ha..." Liao Zhong forced a smile, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. Why did he forget this girl?
A surgeon who can cure anything? Why don't you come and give it a try?
"Be prepared. I'll introduce you to a patient when I have time." The female doctor felt baffled by these words, and Liao Zhong quickly left the room while looking at his watch.
············
"What happened!?" Liao Zhong anxiously asked the researcher who came up to greet him on the way.
"In short, the heart rate of the Gu Body Holy Child has changed beyond the baseline range." The researcher gave a brief explanation while leading Liao Zhong to the activity room.
When the hydraulic door of the activity room slowly opened, Liao Zhong looked at the scene inside with solemn eyes. The hearty laughter, gasps, and the thud of the basketball hitting the ground seemed... no different than usual, just a group of people simply playing basketball.
"What's going on?" Liao Zhong asked with a slight frown.
"It's been more than a day since we put her here, right? Why didn't she respond before?"
"The activities carried out here have always been fixed. If you just look at it this way, there is really no difference." The researcher explained while looking at the data recorded in his hand.
"But... if we compare the entire process with equations, we will find that there are actually variables in it."
"You bully me for not studying science well, right? Talk like a human being!" Liao Zhong was speechless.
"Chen Junyan...Chen Junyan didn't come here before." The researcher smiled awkwardly.
"Anyway, this child is probably the only variable these days..."
"Chen Junyan? Is there something special about him? Could it be..." Liao Zhong's face became a little weird,
"Are all children these days so precocious?"
"No, I think you misunderstood..." The researcher felt a little ashamed after listening to Liao Zhong's words, thinking that their leader had some crooked things in his head all day long...
"In terms of rational analysis, Chen Junyan actually represents a 'category'. Yes, he is a similar 'category' to the Gu Body Saint Child. At least on the surface, they are the same." The researcher said solemnly. Explaining,
"The 'samples' we put into this activity room before were all adults, but the 'type' of Chen Junyan was just arranged today. They all look like 'children'. To put it simply, maybe the Gu Shen Saint Children regard Chen Junyan as a similar person."
"..." Liao Zhong was silent. To be honest...he didn't understand. But looking at the scene in front of him, he still understood one thing.
At this moment, the Gu Shen Saint Boy's eyes were just as the researcher said. For a moment, he cast his eyes on Chen Junyan, who was active in the venue, and it was at that time that the bracelet in his hand reacted again.
Although the Gu Body Holy Child quickly withdrew his gaze and his outward appearance quickly returned to calm, the fluctuations on the bracelet could not deceive anyone.
"Boss, you must have noticed it, right? Although she is still in a daze at the moment, her brain waves have become more active. According to the data analysis results, she is probably confused about something..." the researcher observed He said with a frown while holding the same bracelet on his wrist.
His eyes looked at Chen Junyan on the basketball court.
"What is she confused about? Punishment... I think she is probably confused as to why fellows like her are not receiving the punishment they deserve when they engage in such 'inappropriate' behavior as now."
"You mean..." Liao Zhong finally understood,
"Yes, this child's temperament was wiped out by those bastards during the Yaoxian Association, and the way to erase his temperament is..."
"All the actions that ordinary people should have will be punished. Through the 'punishment' again and again, she is forced to fear these actions subconsciously deep in her heart, until they completely think that her 'temperament' has been erased..." the researcher continued. The words said,
"But in fact, it was not erased, but it was forcibly covered up through 'fear'. Because of this, we judged that there was an opportunity to reawaken it."
"That is to say... the only thing that is certain is that we have probably found the source of stimulation now, right?" Liao Zhong chuckled and looked at the lively boy on the basketball court.
············the next day. Bang—bang bang—the falling basketball rolled to the ground and approached the feet of the Gu-body Holy Boy.
"Oh, I'm so tired." Chen Junyan, who was tired from playing, chuckled, wiped his sweat with a towel, got closer, and then sat next to the girl as if nothing had happened.
"Oh! I really envy you, you can sit still so well! Is it fun to sit in a daze like this? Although there are people here who teach me to meditate, I really can't calm down! This place is already lifeless. If I don't do it anymore, Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable if you calm down?”
"..." The girl still sat there silently and motionless as usual, seemingly unfazed.
But in fact……
"Sure enough, there are fluctuations." The researcher beside Liao Zhong reported while looking at the fluctuating lines on the screen of the bracelet on his wrist.
"..." Liao Zhong nodded silently when he heard this, and then winked at Chen Junyan. Chen Junyan understood, and the smile on his face suddenly froze. His whole body twitched and fell to the ground, as if he died suddenly.
"The fluctuations have begun to subside." The researcher reported the situation at this moment. The next moment, Chen Junyan jumped up and down again like a corpse, making a whoosh sound as if he wanted to scare the girl next to him.
But the other party still seemed to have no reaction.
"Tsk." After seeing such a scene, Chen Junyan approached the girl with some disappointment and looked at her face carefully.
"Why are you still not responding?"
"No... there is a reaction, and it's unprecedented." The researcher reported with a slightly excited tone. At this moment, the fluctuations displayed on the screen of his bracelet were unprecedentedly strong.
Chen Junyan seemed to have noticed something slightly abnormal. When he got closer, he could clearly see that sweat had begun to appear on the girl's calm face, and her whole body was trembling slightly at an imperceptible level.
It was obvious that the other party was trying his best to restrain himself. Although he didn't quite understand why he had to be so restrained.
"Sigh... I don't know what your situation is... but I think you shouldn't be so nervous." Chen Junyan smiled helplessly and knelt down to pick up the basketball on the ground and patted it twice.
"I... was brought here inexplicably due to some circumstances that I couldn't figure out. The first day I came here, I was so frightened that I peed... Then I saw that dinosaur-like monster uncle and peed again... But time After staying for a long time, I gradually discovered that the people here are actually pretty good. Although it is annoying not being able to go out, it is not that boring. For example, that scarred face who looks very fierce, that guy is quite interesting! He can He can bully everyone here, but only us kids! We can bully him as much as we want! Hahahahaha!" With that said, Chen Junyan came to Chen Duo with a basketball and gently put the ball on the opponent's side. placed on the back of the hands above the legs.
"Actually... we are all the same people here. It doesn't matter how we come here. The guys here are all good people. They just want to help us solve our problems... If you have any troubles, just Can you safely leave it to them?"
"..." Still as silent as ever. Faced with this situation, Chen Junyan was completely at a loss. He could only scratch his head and leave the girl's side, and came to Liao Zhong and others who were watching outside the door.
"This girl is so difficult to deal with, I can't handle it! What's going on with her?"
"Hmph, don't ask if you shouldn't ask." Liao Zhong scolded him angrily, and then looked down at the extremely fluctuating data on the screen of his bracelet.
"In short, the effect is pretty good. There is hope for the game console you want."
"Ah? So simple? I thought I sent it." Chen Junyan chuckled and rubbed his hands.
"Can you add two more game discs?"
"Excessive! Who did you just say was easy to bully?" Liao Zhong kicked this brat in the butt, but the curve of his mouth betrayed him.
Soon, after sending Chen Junyan away, his expression gradually returned to calmness, even a little solemn.
"Seal down the venue, everyone pay attention to safety."
"Yes." After giving the order, the entire venue where the Gu Body Holy Child was located was sealed off. Liao Zhong and the researcher beside him observed the situation inside through the isolation glass with solemn eyes.
"Touer Liao...the reaction is getting more and more intense."
"But she still looks like that..." Liao Zhong stared at the girl in the room, trying to capture every detail.
The girl was still sitting where she was, and the basketball that Chen Junyan placed was still on the girl's legs, but... as the girl's body trembled undetectably, the basketball finally slipped from her body and fell to the ground with a thud. .
"!" As if she was frightened, the girl clenched her fists and pursed her lips. She seemed to be trying her best to restrain something, and finally regained her original calm.
"The reaction started to weaken..." The researcher shook his head in disappointment.
"Well..." Liao Zhong also nodded.
"But it's not that nothing was gained. Judging from her performance just now, it was obvious that she had been shaken, but she restrained herself in the end." About another week passed. time.
"After several days of repeated experiments, we have determined that the child named Chen Junyan is the source of stimulation that caused the reaction of the Gu-body Holy Child, which is also the so-called 'variable'." In Liao Zhong's office, the researcher reported these results day experiment situation.
"In the past few days, we have been specially arranging for Chen Junyan to appear in front of the Gu Body Holy Child... All data have fluctuated beyond the baseline range without exception. Our previous speculation was correct, the Gu Body Holy Child is indeed She regards Chen Junyan as her kind. Different from humans and animals, humans will spontaneously recognize and interpret the world... it may not be correct, but they will definitely have their own interpretation of the world."
"Don't use professional words with me here, try to use words that I can understand and feel..." Liao Zhong drank tea speechlessly and complained.
"In short, in order to obtain the Gu, the people of the Yaoxian Society did not cultivate the child as a human being. In her eyes, she did not have a correct understanding of things. Even adults and children were two different species in her eyes. .”
"You mean that in her eyes, little guys like Chen Junyan are her kind, and we..."
"'Dominator', 'manager of items' or...'perpetrator' who is qualified to give her 'punishment'." The researcher pondered for a moment and gave these few easy-to-understand words,
"That's why she obeys our orders like this, because that's how those guys trained her. What they want is such an obedient 'gu creature', that's all."
"Tsk, don't mention those bastards to me, they sound irritating to me." Liao Zhong smacked his lips in displeasure, which translates to 'I still don't understand.'
The researcher understood, and continued to explain with an awkward smile: "In short, you can understand that although those smart-ass idiots thought that this would be foolproof, they underestimated the human beings." As he said, he pointed to his head: "The human brain is the fundamental difference from other animals. As I said before, it will spontaneously interpret the world. This is not a function that can be curbed without teaching. As we said before... erasing the reality of temperament through stimulation They are just using their instinctive fear to cover up their 'temperament'. Even if they use various means to make it appear that the child's 'temperament' has been erased physically, they actually cannot stop the brain from spontaneously understanding the world. This child may deviate from our understanding because she has not been taught the consciousness that humans should have, but her brain will still spontaneously make its own interpretation of the environment... and in the process of interpreting the world, there is a The most basic and most important project is to distinguish between like and unlike.”
"Didn't you say this before? Chen Junyan is the one she thinks is the same person, right?" Liao Zhong seemed to understand.
"Yes, the Yaoxian Association's training for her is to make her ignore everything in the world except for making poison and accepting instructions. Be it the cultists who hurt her, the food, the mountains, rivers, and birds. It doesn’t matter if it’s a beast! The entire human world is full of aliens that have nothing to do with her, but they ignored one thing...that is..."
"During the training, there will be children like her who are also trained to be devoured by each other as monsters." Liao Zhong's hands slightly curled up while doing the work, and his fingers left deep marks on the solid wood tabletop.
