Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 737 The Approaching Mystery 2
[Also, you said Magpie is a brain robot? 】

Chen Yan clearly remembered that in the messages he saw after he got Cyborg Quinn's cell phone - judging from the description of Magpie in these messages, Magpie should be a serious and normal person.

[The concept of brain-bots is very broad, there is no doubt that Magpie must be one of them. 】

That's all Cyborg Quinn said.

Chen Yan doesn't mind, he has something more interesting:

[And... a pharmacy?Tell me in detail, is this pharmacy the one I thought of...]

When Chen Yan was in prison, he had contact with a prison doctor named Miao Ran. Miao Ran was controlled by a "hand" that did not belong to him. He obtained the body parts of prisoners in the prison through legal channels allowed by the prison rules, and provided them to the pharmacy. Provide these parts.

[The pharmacy...has existed for a long time, longer than most of the transcendent forces in Yanan City. 】

Cyborg Quinn had to say something useful, he asked Chen Yan, and judging from the situation just now, he had to - and only with the help of "something" like Chen Yan, to be able to to achieve their own goals.

He deliberated over and over in his mind, carefully choosing the information he could reveal, and letting the information answer Chen Yan's question with enough succinctness.

[You know, among the oldest professions in the world, there are existences called 'witch doctors'. They have their own names in all ages of history, and after Yanan City entered the industrial age, their set... ...That set of ancient methods, which is bloody and violates secular morality, is not easy to use. It can't be put on the bright side, but can only be done in the dark. 】

[Modern medicine passed down from the imperial capital once almost crushed them, and some of them chose to integrate, so those large medical institutions in Yanan City were born, such as the public medical system, such as several listed companies, but those who master There are some so-called "exclusive secret recipes" and "folk recipes" families, most of which evolved from such people. 】

Chen Yan couldn't help asking:
[There is a pharmacy on the High Street called 'Green'. 】

Cyborg Quinn didn't hide anything, so the risk-free bonus news could make him gain more trust from Chen Yan.

[According to the information we have access to, the Green family, the so-called witch hunters, separated from the witch doctor a long, long time ago, when Yanan City was still full of black spruces and pines and cypresses.

It's not a very deep reason, but the main idea is different - some physically strong witch doctors think that they can live by hunting wild beasts or demihumans, and don't need to do more bloody things than hunting... You must have heard However, the sacrifice of witch doctors is a very cruel and disgusting thing in our opinion... so these witch doctors who do not want to perform rituals gather in groups and become hunters. 】

Chen Yan thought that this process was mostly accompanied by the development of civilization and the improvement of productivity, which led to the emergence of "morality". Some witch doctors acquired morality and learned "compassion", so they developed aversion to tyranny. idea.

[However, part of their inheritance is still preserved—they still use the "medicine" prepared from the roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits of various small animals and plants to strengthen their own system, and even plant the body parts of extraordinary creatures to make themselves stronger. Mutation occurs.

There are two essential differences between a witch hunter and a normal witch doctor.

One is that the wizard hunters developed some very powerful formulas in the later evolution process-they called that thing 'Toffee', the effect is amazing, it can effectively treat malaria and smallpox, it is simply a magic medicine.

The second is that due to coincidence, wizard hunters participated in several major historical events later, and they learned to use different extraordinary powers from these events-they even invented something like a "magic wand", which is a kind that can store And collect the "catalyst" of extraordinary power, which is similar to the so-called "magic" in use, but it is actually used to bluff people. It is actually a wireless shock stick. 】

Chen Yan got some wonderful knowledge.

And because Cyborg Quinn is very familiar with this part of knowledge, it is quite fast when he tells it, and the data transmission of this part only takes one millisecond.

[The inheritance of the magpie comes from those witch doctors who did not become witch hunters. 】

Regarding this part of knowledge, Cyborg Quinn's thinking is obviously also very smooth.

[In ancient times, witch doctors were very respected, because witch doctors possessed powerful healing and curse powers.

These powers have become less and less popular with the increase of humans and the migration of the rich in the south... As I said before, their rituals are too violent, and some seemingly scary processes are simply unnecessary ...People's morality is constantly improving, and the level of civilization is getting stronger and stronger. When the local civilization of Yanan City develops to a certain level, those witch doctors who did not adapt to the development of the times will be eliminated by the times.

However, due to the existence of the extraordinary society and the later "Pact of No War", although witch doctors were eliminated by the times, they did not disappear completely. Some special populations urgently need the existence. 】

Cyborg Quinn pauses here.

【You know, the human life span is limited. During the limited life span, some people will get sick, and some of these people will suffer from organ failure due to various reasons.

Under normal circumstances, a person with organ failure can continue to survive only by replacing the failed organ with a normal one.

In the vast majority of cases, in the case of organ or part of biological tissue transplantation - after the patient has undergone allogeneic tissue or organ transplantation, the foreign tissue or organ and other transplants, as a "foreign component", Recognized by the recipient's immune system, which initiates an attack, destruction and clearance of the graft - an immunological response known as "graft rejection".

For mortal society, organ transplantation is a big problem.

This is not the case for witch doctors. They have many methods to suppress the "rejection reaction", and even when the organ recipient's psychological endurance is strong enough, they can make the foreign organ completely accepted by the organ recipient's body. 】

Chen Yan didn't know what it was, and couldn't even imagine it.

[And this guy named Magpie is the best in this way.

When I first met Magpie, I didn’t know that he was a witch doctor, because he had already joined the Mechanical Ascension Secret Order at that time, and in the subsequent contacts, he made contact with me as a peripheral member of the Mechanical Ascension Secret Order.

The Mechanical Ascension Secret Society is an organization with a very strict hierarchy. What each level can and cannot do is completely stipulated, and has a complete set of punishment mechanisms, which leads them to Hierarchy cannot be violated in most...almost all cases.

It is also this hierarchical system that leads to Magpie's cautious words and deeds-I didn't know that he was a witch doctor until I was lobotomized by him. 】

The narration of Cyborg Quinn had a thinking jump here, and Chen Yan knew that he must be hiding something.

Now he has successfully aroused enough curiosity in Chen Yan, so Chen Yan decided that after returning to the real world this time, he must use his enhanced synaesthesia to see what is in Cyborg Quinn's mind.

[As for Byron Weiss... Byron Weiss has collected information on these extraordinary creatures.

Whether it is a witch doctor or a witch hunter, whether it is a magpie or his "pharmacy".

The "brain robot" is a very complicated thing. Byron Weiss Group itself does not have the technology to complete the entire brain robot. They have a large number of downstream manufacturers, and these downstream manufacturers supply everything they need. From technology to parts.

What the magpie pharmacy can provide is the technology to make independent consciousness and independent body compatible.

This technique was born out of the technique of "eliminating organ rejection" in the witch doctor's sacrificial technique——

Let "a conscious body" be recognized by the artificial body and not be rejected——

It's like adapting an "application software" to all the functions of "computer hardware"——

You know, this is a big project, a big project that may not be perfected in decades, and in the process, the application software will become bigger and bigger, more and more bloated, and even piles of code shit will appear inside Mountains...it was inevitable.

The application software—or even the operating system—awareness—is complex.

As for an artificial or modified consciousness, it is impossible to be exactly the same as normal consciousness, and there will always be some defects—consciousness is complicated, and it is impossible for anyone to change consciousness and make it become normal at the same time Human consciousness is just as normal.

The technology mastered by Magpie can do:
After burning the flawed consciousness into the artificial body, so that this consciousness can fully grasp the body, there will be no errors because the software does not perform targeted adaptation and optimization of the hardware, and it will not cause a crash——

The technology that Magpie has mastered is to skip the step of "targeted adaptation and optimization of software to hardware", and directly jump to realize functions through software to control hardware.

During this process, all bugs and program running errors will be ignored, these "irrelevant" things will be thrown aside, and only the functions that can be executed will be executed. 】

Chen Yan was slightly surprised:

[You know a lot, it seems that you haven't fallen behind in the past three years. 】

Cyborg Quinn's answer is simple and understated:
[The North Bureau has much more information than you can imagine. If you don’t consider the influence of too many external gods, at least the social development in the next 20 years...the North Bureau probably has a concept. 】

Although Chen Yan knew that he would not answer the next question, he still couldn't help asking:

[How is this done? 】

Cyborg Quinn responded:

[You clearly know that this is something that cannot be said. Mr. Chen, there are many things that cannot be said in this world. It is the bottom line of a profession and a person. Once people know it, they will lose their dignity as a human being. qualifications……】

Chen Yan ignored his pretentious sophistication, and returned to the subject:
[Magpies will definitely have problems if they do this. If you don’t fix bugs and don’t deal with program errors, these things will definitely affect the operation of the entire system after they accumulate to a certain extent. 】

Cyborg Quinn's mood changes as he speaks noticeably faster:
[Yes, so, although the brain-machine man is very strong, he is inherently flawed. 】

When he said this, Chen Yan already understood what he meant:
【You want to find a magpie because even if you can get the body of a brain robot, you still need to use the magpie to adapt the body. 】

Cyborg Quinn responded very simply:

[Yes, because even if I know that I will face greater risks after having a brain-machine human body, I have no other choice. Byron Weiss has not made any breakthroughs in consciousness adaptation technology for decades, and I can’t wait any longer up.

It is very difficult to get the body of the brain-machine human, and it is even more difficult to make the magpie willing to "operate" for me, so I want to do it step by step-the first step, I want to get the internal information about the magpie from the Byron Weiss Group I have to at least know why Magpie is willing to work for the Byron Weiss Group for ten years. 】

Chen Yan subconsciously decided that he was lying.

Because the last time he made a deal, he only proposed to get the body of the brain-machine man, but he didn't mention anything about the magpie——

Or maybe he didn't lie, but there must be something crucial that he didn't say——

Chen Yan thought to himself that the key information that Cyborg Quinn did not disclose would definitely cause him to misunderstand Cyborg Quinn's motives for the whole process.

Cyborg Quinn is very cautious. Such caution stems from the estimation of his own remaining value - he cannot obtain external information, and the valuable knowledge in his hands will be less when he uses it. When finished, he loses all value.

Therefore, he must be cautious, and he must be cautious when communicating, so that even if he makes a transaction, the chips he dares to put in his hand are pitifully small.

This is something Chen Yan does not want to see.

Chen Yan wants him to let go of his hands and feet, wants him to exchange with himself with more valuable things, wants him to place some crucial information on a big gamble, so that Chen Yan can get more out of it Interests.

And the premise of all this is "open source", not "throttling" - Cyborg Quinn needs to have its own information acquisition channels.

Chen Yan made the final decision in an unquestionable tone:

[So, Cyborg, I will take you back now, and then I will find a way to unblock the North Bureau from your network——

I will enter the North Bureau, release your IP address, and set you free. (For the reason why Cyborg Quinn cannot connect to the Internet, please refer to Chapter 537 for details)
Then, you will look for the data signal emitted by the lighthouse, and I will look for information about the magpie. 】

Chen Yan made such a decision because he found that simple captivity was meaningless to Cyborg Quinn—

A section chief who can obtain information from external channels is a useful section chief, and a section chief who only relies on the knowledge of old sesame seeds and rotten millet to break through the world will only become a burden to Chen Yan——

Just like now.

【……thanks. 】

Cyborg Quinn probably knew what Chen Yan was thinking, Chen Yan's actions gained his favor, and things should be like this——

Under the circumstances of being as fair as possible, and under the circumstances of mutual cooperation, use and frame-up, each should rely on his own ability.

【Then, Cyborg, let's go. 】
