Professor Jiang is a person with special powers. Her ability is to create a body that can carry the energy of her own consciousness.
Lin Qingqing originally thought that the "ghost" in front of her was the consciousness reborn after Professor Jiang became a zombie, but after hearing what she said, she realized that this was not the case. When she died, her consciousness did not disappear, but was preserved in the form of an energy body. In other words, Professor Jiang at this time still had the consciousness of the original human being!
After entering the seventh level, Lin Qingqing once deduced through the law skills she understood that the consciousness of zombies was generated or implanted after the death of human consciousness. Therefore, humans cannot control the same kind, but zombies can, and even they can Deliver information remotely.
This idea was originally a bit whimsical, but when it was learned that an alien civilization was behind the doomsday, the possibility of this inference became much more likely.
Looking at Professor Jiang at this time, although her body is dead, her unique human consciousness has been preserved in a special way through her powers. It can be seen from the fight for control of her body with Tang Li just now. Her human consciousness can still control her body that has become a zombie.
This special case is probably unique in the world, but it does not rule out that she has been lying before.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing's eyes flashed
——Professor Jiang has been here since he left the Aisen Experimental Base?
——Well, I have been here for more than two years.
——Then why do you come here? In other words, what exactly have you been studying here for more than two years?
Lin Qingqing's eyes were sharp. From General Luo's expression when he handed over the task, he could tell that this laboratory was very important. As for why the military only took action now and seemed to be impatient, the reason given by General Luo was that it was not needed before.
Why was it not needed before but suddenly needed now? The only reason Lin Qingqing could think of for this was that delegations from the four countries came to visit. She didn't know what they said or what secrets they learned, which made Hua anxious to open this laboratory.
——I said I was researching myself, does Captain Lin believe me?
Professor Jiang's tone was as gentle as ever. Lin Qingqing narrowed her eyes and then asked in her heart.
——Is it the study of the body or the study of consciousness?
It seemed that he did not expect that the other party could reveal the key point in one sentence. Professor Jiang was very surprised.
——If you can think of this, Captain Lin is indeed very powerful!
After being surprised, she showed admiration.
Lin Qingqing did not speak. Even though Professor Jiang had helped them before, Lin Qingqing did not have even five points of trust in the other party at this time. The reason why she could sit down and chat with her for so long was because she wanted to know what she was.
Seeing Lin Qingqing's silence, Professor Jiang paused.
——Well, I haven't talked to anyone for a long time.
She sighed slightly, then changed the subject.
——Captain Lin, do you believe people have souls?
soul? Lin Qingqing frowned slightly. If someone had asked her this question before, she would definitely have said she didn't believe it, but now she was not sure, especially since the person chatting with her was still a "ghost".
——What do you think the soul is?
Lin Qingqing asked back.
——Then what do you think consciousness is?
Professor Jiang also asked.
——Do you think the soul is consciousness? ..
Lin Qingqing's pupils shrank slightly. She had also thought of the word "soul", but perhaps due to the limitation of past cognitive level, everyone always subconsciously thought that the soul was just something that existed in stories and legends.
- Not exactly.
Professor Jiang shook her head and looked at Lin Qingqing's increasingly serious face. She did not show off, but directly told her research results.
——According to my research in the past two years, the soul may be a combination of energy and consciousness.
--oh?
As we all know, after a person dies, his consciousness will dissipate, but if there is a suitable person
The carrier allows consciousness to attach...
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing glanced at Professor Jiang again.
It is said that many foreign research institutions are studying ways to make people immortal. Some are trying to delay physical aging, while others are dedicated to studying how to permanently preserve human consciousness. For this reason, some people have even thought of uploading human memory and consciousness to the Internet, or directly storing it on artificial chips, but these studies have all failed without exception.
Energy? Lin Qingqing was thoughtful.
If it were someone else, they might not believe Professor Jiang's remarks at all, and might even think that the other person was talking nonsense. But Lin Qingqing was different. Her Ice Armor Man was actually an energy body. Energy bodies can carry consciousness, she has known this for a long time.
——What does Professor Jiang want to do by studying this?
Seeing that Lin Qingqing did not refute her immediately, Professor Jiang was a little surprised. She could see that the other party was just a little surprised and did not look like he didn't believe it.
Professor Jiang did not answer this question for a long time. Lin Qingqing guessed that the other party might have some concerns, so she directly stated her purpose.
——To tell you the truth, I was ordered to come here to inspect and accept this experimental base this time. Professor Jiang, who do you think your experiments will be able to hide from after the military takes over?
--What? You said the military is going to take over the laboratory? Are you actually from the military?
Professor Jiang looked shocked. This was a secret experimental base. Few people in China knew about it before the end of the world. She thought Lin Qingqing just broke into this place accidentally, but she didn't know that the other party came prepared.
Because of the special nature of the power, Professor Jiang could feel that Lin Qingqing was not lying. Originally, she planned to build a relationship based on the friendship she had helped them complete the task before, and then talk to her about her research as a friend. Ask her to keep it a secret, and she is even prepared to pay a large sum of money. Unfortunately, all these plans came to nothing when I heard that the military was going to take back the laboratory.
Feeling her uneasiness, Lin Qingqing felt calm in her heart.
In fact, during the chat, she had already guessed Professor Jiang's plan, and during this period, she observed the other person carefully. Zombies have no emotions. Even though they can imitate all the original behaviors and habits of their body owners, they always give people the feeling of imitating cats and tigers in terms of emotional expression.
But Professor Jiang is different. All her emotions are very straightforward, and there is almost no trace of deliberateness. Lin Qingqing guesses that she did not know the skill of conscious communication when she left the Aisen Experimental Base, and she has never used this skill with humans since. Have communicated in this way, so emotions can be revealed even without consciousness.
However, this cannot rule out that she did it on purpose.
However, through this, Lin Qingqing can at least judge that Professor Jiang's consciousness is indeed very different from that of zombies, and it is most likely human consciousness.
——Let me introduce you again. We are a special team of the White Tiger Legion, codenamed "Qingmang". I am the captain Lin Qingqing, a seventh-level ice power user.
——Captain Lin Hello, my name is Jiang Ningjun. He was the person in charge of the original Aisen Experimental Base and the inventor of the new superpower potion.
Professor Jiang quickly regained his composure.
——Captain Lin, is he planning to hand me over to the military?
Mentioning Professor Jiang's past identity and contributions, everyone couldn't help but think of the pile of research reports in the archives of the Aisen Experimental Base. Most of those reports had Professor Jiang Ningjun's name on them.
——Then where does Professor Jiang want to go?
Once the experimental base is recovered by the country, everything here, even a piece of paper, must be handed over, let alone herself. For such a powerful researcher, Lin Qingqing does not believe that the superiors will let her go, not to mention that Professor Jiang can no longer fully Counted as one person.
——I want to ask Captain Lin to let me go. Captain Lin, don’t worry, I won’t take away anything here, whether it’s experimental subjects or experimental data.
After figuring out the key, Professor Jiang sighed. She now cares more about her own life than the results of these experiments. If she were a normal human being at this time, she would definitely defect to the country without hesitation, but now her situation is... She can't even explain it to herself, let alone expect others to
You can treat her as the same kind of person.
——Captain Lin also knows that humans and zombies are mortal enemies, and a weird existence between the two like me is not suitable anywhere.
Professor Jiang did not say where she was going, but just told her situation truthfully. Lin Qingqing guessed that she might also know about other secret experimental bases.
——Professor Jiang wants to continue doing research elsewhere, but do you think the country should not know about the places you know?
Feeling Jiang Ningjun's anxiety and uneasiness, Lin Qingqing said slowly.
Her words completely cut off Jiang Ningjun's retreat. In desperation, she could only promise Lin Qingqing a lot of benefits, such as crystal nuclei, the latest potions, etc. I thought that Lin Qingqing said this because she wanted the lion to open his mouth, but who knew that after she said so much, the other party remained unmoved at all.
——It’s better to say what Captain Lin wants directly. As long as you let me go, I can do anything.
Jiang Ningjun wanted to leave, but how could Lin Qingqing let her go.
Before this mission, the Huaguo Academy of Sciences had determined that the main person in charge of the small zombie experiment was Wang Qiming, who escaped from the Eisen Experimental Base. This person has been labeled as the number one traitor of mankind. Although the Jiang Ningjun in front of her was indirectly killed by Wang Qiming, she is Wang Qiming's teacher after all, and she is in such a state now. Who can guarantee that she will be the best in the future? Wouldn't he switch sides and join the zombie camp?
——To be honest, I am a little reluctant to kill you.
Lin Qingqing clasped her hands and said lightly.
——You don’t know, but Wang Qiming took refuge with the Zombie King after escaping from the Eisen Experimental Base. Now he is the Zombie King’s capable subordinate and has made significant contributions to the evolution of zombies.
When she first heard that Lin Qingqing wanted to kill her, Professor Jiang felt suffocated. Then she heard that Wang Qiming had taken refuge with the zombies. Only then did she understand why the other party would not let her go no matter what.
Professor Jiang said with a wry smile.
——Captain Lin, can you guarantee that I will be treated like a normal person after I go back with you?
--Does not.
Lin Qingqing shook her head, this was exactly where she was struggling at this time.
If Jiang Ningjun really didn't do any bad things that harmed the use of humans, and had no plans to defect to the zombies, she would naturally want to bring her into the human camp. Not to mention, she would definitely understand Wang Qiming better than anyone else.
But this is just her own idea. She can't guarantee what the military and the scientific research institute will think of it. After all, humans will betray, not to mention Professor Jiang is no longer even a human being.
