Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 450 35. Amnesiac Gordon

"I always feel that this is not very reliable."

"Instead of taking the risk of conducting an experiment with unknown results, it's better to just continue to live like this. His vital signs are already normal, and his appearance has only been changed."

In the biological research room of the ghost base, the gorilla Winston wearing a white research suit stood beside Merlin with all fours. Together with Merlin, he looked at the closed laboratory that was being checked for the final time.

A super-large silver bio-chamber has been placed in the laboratory, and two biologists, Lilian and Moira, are debugging the bio-chamber.

This thing was designed by Winston. This genetically modified orangutan is a genius in mechanical design. As a researcher, he is currently helping SDOLD to upgrade its daily equipment.

Especially the jetpack designed by himself, Merlin hopes that Winston can shrink the backpack again and transform it into new equipment for field agents.

A silent, portable device for short flights that would be great if it could add some firepower.

Facing the evaluation of Winston, the strange orangutan with glasses, Merlin said:

"Although you are wise, Winston, it is still difficult for you to understand the stubbornness of human beings on certain issues. Everyone has something to value. For George, returning to the form of a normal person is his persistent pursuit. He himself understood the risks of such an experiment, but he still made a decision."

Merlin paused and said:

"This is a decision he made after careful consideration, and we should not stop it."

"Do you really think this is a good idea?"

Winston glanced at Merlin, and it said:

"I heard it was very painful?"

"Well, excruciating pain."

Merlin pushed his glasses, he said:

"Without the aid of drugs, it may cause permanent damage to the human body's consciousness, and may cause emotional loss. For people with extremely strong spiritual power like George, this painful sensory stimulation will only be more delicate, just It's like the cells of the whole body are torn apart and reassembled."

"But the good news is that he only needs to go through the first half of this experiment, which is used to transform the alienated body back into the original normal human form."

"Aren't you worried that something went wrong with this experiment, causing George to change his mind?"

winston said:

"Pain will change a person. As far as I remember, Gerud didn't hate humans so much at the beginning. It also developed hatred for humans through repeated painful experiments."

"The two are different, Winston."

Merlin explained:

"Grude is forced to accept, while George is destined to pursue. The starting point is different, and the result is also different."

"Furthermore, with George's current ability, if I don't help him, he will find it by himself. Instead of letting him come up with some crazy methods that are not very reliable, it is better to let him let go in this controlled experiment Give it a go."

There is another point that Merlin didn't say.

George's soul was not very stable after the experiment of intellectual brain transformation. That experiment seemed to inject some other things into his soul, some not so kind thoughts.

Although George hasn't shown any extreme thoughts or behaviors yet, Merlin has to take precautions in advance.

With George's perfect control over data and machinery, once he loses control, it will immediately cause a terrible disaster in modern society.

Although the mutant transformation of a demon hunter is painful, it can effectively strengthen the soul's resistance to abnormal states.

As long as George can survive, his unstable soul will become stable. To take a step back, if George collapses and loses control during the experiment, then Merlin has a proper reason to intervene in this situation, and erase George's painful memories with the Amnesiac Curse , or simply reshape his personality, it is all possible.

It's like a raging flood, instead of waiting until the dam of the soul can't resist the break, it's better to divert the water in advance, and solve the problem in advance before it reaches the most dangerous time.

Of course, Merlin couldn't express these dark thoughts.

George now trusts him because of the two life-saving graces, and Merlin also hopes that things will not go out of control.

Big-headed George is not a natural villain, he is an ordinary or even mediocre soul, and after gaining power, he is still very likely to go on the right path.

The premise is that fate will give him a chance to choose.

"click"

During the movement of the glass door, George, who was wearing a gray tights, sat on a suspension chair and slowly floated into the laboratory.

His expression was not tense, and there was a eager light in his eyes.

"Are you going to start?"

George's big head looked at Merlin and Winston, and Merlin looked at the time and said to him:

"It's coming soon...George, let me check for the last time, are you really ready? If you feel unwell, we can postpone the experiment time."

"No, no, just today."

George shook his big head like a big bobblehead and said to Merlin:

"It's hard to make up your mind, but I've made my decision ... so be it."

"Then go."

Merlin looked at the super-large biological cabin that had been debugged in front of him, and he said to George:

"Grit your teeth and persevere. If you can't hold on, we will stop the experiment immediately."

"Don't stop!"

George said stubbornly:

"After the experiment begins, I will close my mind."

He pointed to his head with his short hand, and said to Merlin:

"I just learned that if it is completely closed, it will not be stimulated by the outside world, and maybe I can still feel pain, but I think I should be able to persist until the experiment is completed... Besides, Mr. Merlin."

Big-headed George looked at Merlin, and he pleaded in a low voice:

"If the experiment fails, there's no need to wake me up...just kill me."

"you..."

Merlin didn't know how to respond to this request.

George looked at him with calm eyes, and said:

"Recently, I open my eyes every day and look at the big head in the mirror, that deformed monster. I feel very painful. I am trying to accept this new self, but sorry, Mr. Merlin, I can't do it. arrive."

"I'm not as strong as you, I'm not as strong as others, and I can survive other people's arguments. I'm just a coward, just a mediocre person. I can't accept that kind of life... If the experiment fails, if I don't If it can recover...then it’s better to just die.”

"I've even thought about the epitaph."

George manipulated the suspension chair and turned around in the air. He waved his hands and said to Merlin:

"George Tarleton is buried here. He was born mediocrely, grew up mediocrely, and died mediocrely. His only contribution to this world is to prove that a weak will cannot sustain lofty ideals."

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Winston, the gorilla standing aside, said to George:

"I've calculated all the possible outcomes, and what I've come up with is that the probability of you successfully completing the experiment is..."

"21.76%..."

Before Winston could finish speaking, George said a precise probability. He looked down at Winston with a strange smile on his big head, and said:

"Not only you have calculated, Winston, but I have also calculated it, and I have calculated it many times...the probability is one-fifth."

George manipulated the suspension chair to fly to the closed experimental cabin inside. With the help of a mechanical arm, he lifted himself from the suspension chair and put him into the special biological cabin. At the moment the biological cabin closed, George twisted With a big head, he looked at Ms. Moira, who was standing next to the biological cabin, holding the controller.

He blinked and said to Moira:

"Dr. O'Delaine, there's something I've been meaning to tell you...I mean, if I successfully complete the test and return to normal, can I have dinner with you? I've already made a reservation. "

"Oh?"

Ms. Moira, now in her 30s, smiled with interest, looked George's odd head up and down, and said:

"I'm not interested in normal people, Mr. George. Of course, if you are willing to let me take some samples of your blood and bone marrow for research, I will not disagree."

"what..."

A curious look came over George's large face, and he said:

"Another woman who has dedicated herself to science...well, I agree."

他 说:

"May I be reborn in the form of a normal person."

"click"

Amid the sound of mechanical collisions inside the glass cover, the bio-chamber closed in the next moment. Several needles protruded from the interior of the bio-chamber and pierced into George's body. George closed his eyes with his big head, and he soon became silent. Come down, it's like losing all consciousness.

He self-closed his mind, which can effectively reduce the physical pain he sensed.

Merlin gestured to Lillian and Moira outside the experimental cabin. The next moment, Lillian put the mutagenic agent and neutralizer into the gap in the biological cabin, while Moira glanced at the glass The big head under the cover then reached out and pressed the controller in his hand.

"Let's go."

Merlin said to Winston beside him:

"Unless you want to stay here and appreciate the suffering of a poor man, we should go."

"I'm not interested in pain."

Winston shook his head. The gorilla with a smooth black mane followed Merlin and left the underground laboratory.They made their way to the ground, talking.

"About the miniaturization of the time accelerator."

In the upward lift, Winston said to Merlin:

"I'm trying, and there's been a breakthrough, but it's still a long way from the size you're asking for, a bracelet-sized instrument, and that can be done as a long-term project."

"Do not worry."

Merlin put his hands in his trouser pockets and said to Winston:

"I don't need it urgently, you can transform it slowly, just let me know when there is news..."

As soon as Merlin finished speaking, a red light appeared on the lenses in front of his eyes, like a warning.

"Detected space fragmentation in transit!"

Icarus' warning sound rang in Merlin's ears, causing Merlin to subconsciously pull Winston up, and the two of them were almost clinging to the edge of the upward elevator.

The next moment, with the blue light jumping, a figure covered in blood broke through the space and fell to Merlin's feet.

This scene startled Winston, and the orangutan subconsciously clenched his fist and threw it towards the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, but was stopped by Merlin.

He recognized the miserable figure in front of him.

This is Gordon.

Gordon the Eyeless, leader of the Inhuman organization 'Afterlife'.

Merlin squatted down and turned Gordon over. This alien who could jump around the world was injured. There was an abnormal bulge on his chest, which was the injury caused by the broken sternum.

Judging from the outline of the scar, it should be caused by blunt weapon bombardment.

The man who wielded the weapon must have been very powerful. Gordon himself was bleeding from the nostrils and ears of the blow, and his consciousness was already very weak.

"Gordon! Hey, wake up!"

Merlin reached out and patted Gordon's cheek, trying to wake him up. This guy has no eyes, and Merlin has no way of judging his current state, and he can't even use the Dementia Curse.

"cough cough"

Gordon coughed in pain, he struggled, and said to Merlin:

"Save...save them, the messenger...the messenger is in danger."

"messenger?"

Merlin asked suspiciously:

"Who is that? Who attacked you?"

"I don't know... I forgot... I don't remember, you are... who are you? Where am I?"

This guy seemed to have a blurred consciousness. He tried to stand up while talking nonsense, but was held down by Merlin forcibly.

Merlin seemed to have guessed the truth of the matter, he asked:

"Do you remember who you are?"

"I...I am...Who am I?"

Gordon asked blankly:

"do you know?"

"Unlucky guy."

Merlin reached out and threw a sleeping spell on Gordon. He stood up, and Winston beside him asked curiously:

"What happened to this man?"

"His memory was washed out. After the teleportation, his memory was disappearing rapidly, and his cognition and perception were being weakened. He even forgot his own name."

"He just remembered asking us to save an inexplicable 'messenger'."

Merlin looked at the sleeping Gordon, he said:

"This kind of amnesia is currently uncertain whether it is done by magic or by other means."

"But there's no doubt about it... I have work to do."
