Chapter 5, Craniotomy
The man in black completely disregarded Zhang Yunxi's reaction, as the gas released in the sleep pod would ensure that the other party remained asleep for at least eight hours. Therefore, he merely observed the holographic projection on his wristwatch phone, watching as the curves rapidly increased and fluctuated.
Turning his head to survey the surroundings, Zhang Yunxi was unexpectedly missing, and there were several small blood spots on the ground, extending all the way into the corridor
After a stunning slam dunk, Zhu Qizhen's feet landed steadily on the ground, without producing a deafening thud despite the weight of his body.
Damn it
Zhang Yunxi's left hand suddenly twitched irregularly, but the man in black, hearing the alarm, completely failed to notice this reaction.
The man in black gently turned Zhang Yunxi's head to the side, touched the back of his head, and his eyes instantly caught sight of a very small scar, which was the location of the implanted chip
Memory guidance devices, stimulators that activate brain activity with mild electromagnetic waves, instruments that enhance electrode co-sensation, as well as storage units connected to brain-machine interfaces, can all be found in this box
This memory guidance device can steal the real memories stored by Zhang Yunxi in the Eternal Life World
The clean doll emitted a tender cry, which was clearly pre-recorded by Zhou Zhou herself
The distance between the two parties rapidly narrowed
A melodious music from the underworld echoed in the room, played through the wristwatch phone by the man in black, intended to calculate his upcoming time
I am very busy," Zhu Qizhen replied without any consideration for feelings. "However, since you have given me a gift, I will sit with you for a while longer.
Immediately, a man in black appeared at the door, reaching out to grab the back collar of Zhang Yunxi's clothing
Alright, then I will help you apply the oil
Didi
A sudden sound of electric current echoed, and Zhang Yunxi's body visibly twitched.
The connector was plugged into the black-clad man's wristwatch, and he activated the device
The black-clad man from the organization took out the assembled memory guidance device first and affixed the four capture patches to Zhang Yunxi's head.
This is akin to an ordinary dashcam, yet it cannot be viewed, and the content cannot be extracted or stored
After about ten seconds, the footsteps grew increasingly distant from the dissection room
The man in black chased after without a second thought
Zhu Qizhen paused noticeably and said: "What kind of nonsense is this!"
Just as Zhang Yunxi was about to leave through the back door, a sudden sound of heavy footsteps came from behind him. He turned around to see that a figure in black, wearing a V for Vendetta mask, had already caught up to him
Zhang Yunxi ran to the door, pushed the locked door, and upon turning her head, she saw light coming from the room on the left side
Zhu Qizhen, keep it up
The role of this electrode chip in memory is quite similar to that of a dashcam; it is embedded in a person's brain and is always present. By capturing brain fluctuations, it systematically stores memories and thoughts. Therefore, the function of the electrode sensing device is not to invade Zhang Yunxi's brain, as it is fundamentally incapable of doing so; it merely invades the electrode chip within Zhang Yunxi's brain.
This is too abnormal
Approximately four seconds later, the memory guidance device suddenly lit up with a red light, indicating that Zhang Yunxi had not stored his memories in the Eternal Life World, and thus could not download them
Zhou Zhou happily ran in front of Zhu Qizhen, hands behind his back, smiling and revealing a set of small white teeth: "Teacher Zhu, are you playing ball again!"
His condition cannot withstand strong stimulation. Just now, the other party used an electrode stimulator to stimulate his brain, which directly caused Zhang Yunxi to experience intense headaches, thereby awakening him
Clang!
It is impossible
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Zhuo's bright eyes dimmed slightly: "No, Grandpa said... banks never lend to the poor"
As long as one has entered the virtual eternal life world through - images - books, and has not used outdated peripherals such as VR, there must be an electrode chip in their brain. It has been proven that the electrode sensor just now has already captured the chip in Zhang Yunxi's brain
This is too strange
Zhu Qizhen, victory!
Could you sit with me for a while longer, Teacher Zhu
If it were not for Zhang Yunxi's headache issue, her brain would probably have been examined several times by now
Aren't you going to participate in the campus basketball competition? I want to cheer for you! Zhuo Zhuo had a silly expression, seemingly a bit shy.
The thunderous footsteps echoed within the room
At the back of his head
When the song ends, the work is also completed
Swish!
The man in black, wearing the smiley face mask from V for Vendetta, quietly contemplated for over ten seconds before decisively retrieving a scalpel from the box. He was prepared to extract the electrode chip from Zhang Yunxi's brain
Her name is Zhou Zhou, she is eight years old, and she is the granddaughter of Old Yang, the administrator of the college dormitory area. Five years ago, her parents tragically passed away in a car accident while transporting building materials to the college. This little girl had no one to take care of her, so Old Yang brought her over from Mingzhu City.
A muffled sound echoed as the man in black was sent flying three meters away, crashing against the wall from a single punch
Zhu Qizhen raised his large mechanical hand and grabbed the doll: "This doll is as ugly as you humans, but still, thank you, little ghost"
"Do not say I am pitiful!" Zhuozhuo said with a naive expression full of hope for the future, "But I still want to thank you. If I can get better, I can stay with Grandpa for a long time, and also with you..."
Zhang Yunxi pushed open a drawer containing corpses and emerged covered in blood
My energy is almost depleted, I need to rest. Zhu Qizhen has served for six years and has developed a very good habit, which is that every night before he "rests," he consumes all the energy in his power core. This ensures the longevity of the power core, indicating that he is also someone who values life.
Old Yang is already sixty-five years old this year, which is quite advanced in age. According to the standards, he should have already surpassed the threshold for layoffs. However, considering the difficult living conditions of both him and the younger staff, the college has specially approved for him to remain in his position.
A miracle
"Why do you come to me every night like a little shadow?" Zhu Qizhen just can't speak properly, inexplicably resembling a person suffering from depression
Prick!
One big and one small, they sat alone in the basketball court, speaking very childish words
Sleeping soundly, I was suddenly taken out for dissection, even my skull was cut open, this is too frightening
Every day before 1:00 AM, Old Yang has to charge the cleaning robot in the dormitory area, so usually, Zhou Zhou waits until Grandpa finishes his work before resting together.
Damn it
Step on it
He has an excellent memory; although he only walked half a circle within the academy during the day, he clearly remembers the location of the security room
"You are not a robot, you are Teacher Zhu!" Zhou Zhou emphasized earnestly.
Upon entering, the man in black looked up at the operating table but did not find Zhang Yunxi's figure.
The man in black controlled for about five minutes, only to be astonished to find that he could not activate Zhang Yunxi's electrode chip, nor could he download the programs within the chip
I day
Zhu Qizhen gently placed the doll down beside himself, and then continued to apply lubricant to the wound on his leg, speaking in a very electronic tone: "Do not be discouraged, they will not grant loans to robots either"
Inside the indoor basketball court of Dormitory Area 2 for new students at Qingshan Theological Seminary
The man in black acted with great ferocity and decisiveness, slicing open the skin at Zhang Yunxi's nape to a length equivalent to half of an adult finger.
Zizi ! ''
Is it broken
The man in black stepped lightly to the bedside, his movements gentle yet efficient as he opened the suitcase hidden in the room, revealing a large number of electronic devices inside
Dong dong
Zhu Qizhen raised his large head, his pair of deep blue mechanical eyes scanning the entrance of the venue: "You are not sleeping again"
Zhang Yunxi was running desperately down the corridor and soon arrived at the first floor. With a clear mind, he dashed towards the left corridor, preparing to burst out through the back door and head towards the security room.
Damn the warehouse manager! The man in black muttered irritably, then turned and returned to the dissection room
Bang
It is thermal energy; the other party is equipped with thermal energy devices
The man in black furrowed his brow and immediately replaced Zhang Yunxi's equipment with a larger electrode empathic device, intending to directly extract memories from Zhang Yunxi's brain
After passing through two corridors, the man in black was about to leave the basement when suddenly the alarm stopped, and the red dot on his watch disappeared
In the underground dissection room
Zhang Yunxi listened to the footsteps fading away and immediately ran out of the dissection room
Aren't you very happy? Zhuozhuo awkwardly sat down on the floor, her pale little face turning red, and she couldn't help but cough twice
Without a second thought, Zhang Yunxi pushed the door open and rushed out. Upon raising her head, she saw Zhu Qizhen and a little girl just standing up, preparing to leave
The sound of the basketball hitting the ground echoed in the open field. The physical education teacher, Zhu Qizhen, after sprinting with the ball, jumped vertically from a standstill, his mechanical body smoothly unfolding in mid-air, single-handedly holding the ball, and with a thud, he dunked it into the hoop
At the entrance of the venue, a girl dressed very simply, with a pale little face, ran over cheerfully
At that moment, the watch and phone suddenly emitted an alarm sound, and the eerie music ceased.
Bang!
Zhang Yunxi ran over desperately and shouted: "Teacher Zhu!! God of War!! Save me!!"
In the vast venue, a sudden, youthful call echoed.
... ...
This technology and the book were initially proposed and developed by Musk's company
Zhu Qizhen fiddled with the doll and asked in a very formulaic tone: "Has your grandfather's medical loan been approved?"
Bang
In the center of the room, Zhang Yunxi lay on the operating table without any awareness, covered by a white sheet.
Creak!
Miss Zhou Zhou, if I can obtain the prize money from the basketball competition, I am willing to lend it to you, this poor little sickly person
Zhu Qizhen heard the shout and smoothly turned his head.
"Big guy, this has nothing to do with you!" shouted the man in black.
Zhu Qizhen completely ignored the opponent's shouts. After a brief run-up, he jumped directly from five meters away, his mechanical body fully extending in the air, and his right fist, resembling a massive boulder, came crashing down.
Blood instantly flowed onto the bed, as the man in black prodded the skin at Zhang Yunxi's nape with the tip of a knife, bending down to search for the electrode chip
The man in black frowned and muttered a reprimand, gripping the scalpel in his right hand. He quickly exited the room and glanced at the red dot on his wristwatch before hastening towards the dormitory exit
The current situation is no longer something he can handle on his own, so he needs to seek assistance from the institution
Within this academy, there has always been a sense of distance between humans and mechanical AIs, especially following the Li Yun incident, which led some individuals within the academy to advocate for the abolition of AI education. Additionally, due to Teacher Zhu Qizhen's inherently irritable personality, he often finds himself in conflict with others of his kind, resulting in a less than favorable reputation and a lack of "friends".
After finishing the solitary training, Zhu Qizhen walked over to the rest area, picked up the expensive XT-2 mechanical lubricant from the box, bent down to sit on the ground, and first applied it to the "wound" on his leg that he had just welded in the afternoon.
... ... ! ''
Haha
"Hehe! I have prepared a gift for you." Zhou Zhou suddenly took out a doll from behind, blinking her big eyes as she pressed the power button.
Teacher Zhu
