In Luo Beiqing's consciousness space, countless memories are like nebulae in the universe, which cannot be described by simple three-dimensional coordinates. For people, when recalling a memory, they can retrieve it according to their own thinking logic. But what if the consciousness of this "person", that is, the soul, is already dying and cannot be used as a search directory?
Just like a library, there are no partitions, no bookcase names, and no index numbers. So it can be imagined how difficult it is to accurately find a book in it.
Fortunately, as a security and intelligence agency, the Security Bureau has always been at the forefront of exploring large memory recovery techniques. Accurate electric shocks at the picosecond level through four-level body brain electrodes can isolate or amplify the corresponding memory areas of different brain hemispheres, including the hippocampus and temporal lobe, the most important memory areas.
"The immediate early gene is being injected to activate Luo Beiqing's hippocampal neuron cells. It will take some time to label the imprinted cells." Lin Zexing's voice came faintly.
The so-called "engram cells" are neuronal cells used to activate markers or assigned areas in specific brain regions. After injecting the genetic protein, the imprinted cells are activated through optogenetics and chemical genetics. It can induce people's memory expression without additional sensory cues, thereby awakening dormant memories. After all, the information encoding form of memory is the electrical and chemical signals of neurons, which is not really hidden in the elusive "soul".
As long as it is in the material realm, there is always a way to find out.
"Wen Yue, during this period, you can first look at Luo Beiqing's fragmentary memories and understand her behavioral patterns."
Wen Yue was in a state where she could only hear but could not reply. She listened to Lin Zexing's explanation of which memories could be explored and which ones might be violently attacked by subconscious mapping once she stepped into them.
This is inevitable. The form of Wen Yue and Nie Jing's existence at this time is essentially an entangled bioelectric signal that resides in Luo Beiqing's brain. It was the instinctive reaction of her immune system to be attacked by her emotional wave before.
For example, when a person is thinking wildly, if he thinks of something particularly strange and bloody, he will quickly get rid of it if he feels uncomfortable. Even if you think about it deliberately, you will keep switching to other things to replace your thinking. This is the brain's self-protection mechanism in thinking.
Putting yourself in Wen Yue's shoes, if the person whose brain was invaded was Wen Yue, and the snooper went to the wrong memory node of hers and stepped into some of her battlefield memories that were forcibly hidden by physical means, it would not be impossible to be instantly frightened into a fool.
"That one dim fragment will do."
Nie Jing escorted him in real time, identified safe memory nodes, and added: "You remember, the longer you stay in a more complete memory scene, the more vulnerable you are to subconscious mapping attacks."
"But don't worry, we are generally safe. Luo Beiqing's brain has been completely controlled by us, and she is considered a living dead. What you need to pay attention to is to minimize the imprint of her thoughts and the interference with your personal emotions and behavior."
“Make sure that when you come in, you are you, and when you come out, you are still you.”
Ideologically, gestures of approval such as nodding become brief microscopic electric currents. Wen Yue suddenly thought of another well-known aspect, and she asked:
"Invading the brain of a living person"
The moment the question was asked, Wen Yue received the answer. Nie Jing and her were in sync, and the questions and answers were actually in no particular order in time.
"I don't know. I guess there is a high chance that I will become a fool."
Wen Yue raised her eyebrows, knowing that the other party didn't want to say more about it. She understood that files related to invading the brain of a living person with normal behavior and thinking ability could only be accessed by senior experts in the field of cranial nerves. In other words, let alone Nie Jing, Chen Xiaoxiang had no authority, and even the director had to put a lot of effort into seeing the basic files.
Soul, the most unique existence of a living body.
Wen Yue stopped talking nonsense and entered the dim fragment. The appearance of the cosmic nebula in the memory space disappeared without a trace, becoming dark and bright for an instant.
"What you entered should be a certain memory of Luo Beiqing when she was fourteen."
"It was the night before she assigned the exam." Wen Yue replied in unison.
There were four people sitting around a table dimly illuminated by a lamp, a typical family of four. This is a frozen memory. The young Luo Beiqing is wearing a middle school uniform and eating a dinner that seems to be extra rich compared to usual.
But this was not to encourage Luo Beiqing to perform well in the exam, but to say goodbye to the meal. Luo Beiqing's parents argued constantly at the dinner table. In the end, her father slapped her mother down, pulled off Luo Beiqing's school uniform, and forced her to put on tattered clothes covered with soot. Luo Beiqing's slightest resistance was met with an equally fierce slap in the face.
While Wen Yue was watching attentively as a bystander, the scene suddenly froze, and the four people in the scene stared directly at her, as if they were evil ghosts.
Wen Yue was immediately pulled out and returned to the upper level of consciousness space.
"She is an underground stowaway." Wen Yue knew that it was subconscious mapping that caught her. But the information obtained obviously improved the understanding of Luo Beiqing.
"This would explain where her hatred for us comes from."
A young girl who had to sneak to the surface to make a living because her company was reorganized and relocated, and her family lost her job, did have enough motivation to hate the underground. But this is still not enough to explain the origin of her full-body super prosthetic body.
This memory is obviously incomplete. The evidence lies in the incomplete construction of large sections of the scene. Even in the area within the visual field of the eyes, a large amount of shady scenes are peeled off. Wen Yue subjectively felt that she was expelled in just a few seconds.
"Her subconscious training is higher than we thought." Nie Jing said. He disturbed the stability of the conscious space and sent out electrical signals to convey this information to the outside world.
In the technical room, Lin Zexing saw that Luo Beiqing's brainwaves were outputting a segment on the printed paper in an abnormal form and regularly. Through Morse code interpretation, we got several numbers and knew that this was the wrong command code.
Then the solution is also very simple.
Increase the dose!
They've all said it's a great memory recovery technique, so increase the dose! Increase the current!
Chen Xiaoxiang folded his arms on one side and watched Luo Beiqing's body being covered with smoke, while the activity-regulating cell protein in the infusion stand was infused like normal saline. Her throat moved unconsciously. Of course, she was not afraid that Luo Beiqing would be killed, but that something might happen to Wen Yue and Nie Jing who went in.
In a sense, the two of them are tied to Luo Beiqing at this time.
"Where are you? The two of them have a strong synaesthesia link. What a surprise. Just pull out both of their lines. At most, your head will hurt for a while." Lin Zexing reassured.
That's what he said, but among the two people in the conscious space, Wen Yue was doing better, while Nie Jing was just jumping around and cursing.
"I'm holding your mother's little forest in my arms!"
"Isn't it because this time it's not your turn to have synesthesia!"
"Public revenge!"
