leading to the throne

Chapter 85 Pursuing the crystallization of wisdom

Colin dreamed all night.

The dream, took him to experience Sidney's past fragments.

"It turns out that the correct usage of retrospective memory is to enter a dream! Those chaotic, sleep-like memory fragments, when contacted when conscious, will bring chaos, frenzy, and impact my own consciousness. But if I guide it in a dream, You can create dreams and experience past memories in person!"

Last night, in order to accumulate experience for the memory of the mutants, he chose the soul statue of the fanatic Sidney to practice. Everything went smoothly. He personally experienced the process of Sidney gaining extraordinary power by chance.

"In the dark alley, I rescued the captain of the special search team. After showing the most simple kindness, I was valued by the other party. In just three days, I got the teaching and inheritance, and then embarked on the extraordinary road. .”

Recalling the content of the dream, Colin felt absurd, because this situation was so familiar to him, and by changing a few details, it could be used to describe his own story.

"The similarity makes people a little disturbed."

But he can't get to the bottom of it, because this is a story that happened in the past. Instead of worrying about it, it's better to focus on the harvest of this retrospective.

"Sidney's memory recall has gone through a whole night, and it took a lot of energy. At present, it will not have an adverse effect on my own consciousness. Then, next, I have to recharge my energy. After I am ready, Then you can try to go back to the memories of the mutants, if during this period, the souls of the mutants can leave this world, leaving behind empty shell statues and memories, it will undoubtedly be safer."

After thinking about it, Ke Lin sat down to have breakfast after washing up. Forest.

"I'll prepare breakfast for you now." Colin misunderstood Daveline's resentment, looked at the time, and there was still time to prepare a breakfast.

"No need," Devlin shook her head, her face hesitant to speak, and finally she just said, "I just went through a night of fighting, and now I'm so sleepy that I just want to sleep and take a shower, let's go, I don't want to see you now, I'm afraid I can't control myself!"

"Don't covet me!" Colin was taken aback, remembering the scene where the weak woman smashed the bear's head with a punch, "I don't want to fall in love yet."

He is now preoccupied with mystery and money.

"What are you thinking about!" Devlin raised her fist, "Let's go!"

After a night of fierce fighting, she now finds it difficult to even speak and doesn't want to explain.

Colin with a worried face bid farewell to Davelin, walked out of the yard, and soon noticed something was wrong. The blue-gray light filled his left eye, and his vision suddenly changed.

On the wall, on the ground, nearby, and far away, various battle traces appeared in front of Colin. Along with various parameters and annotations, the approximate strength of the combatants was calculated, and the identities of some of the combatants were identified.

"This street, near here, there was a fierce battle last night!"

He probed carefully, looking for the context inside, and as more details emerged, the situation gradually became complicated.

"No wonder Davelyn is so tired. The special search team made the move last night. They fought fiercely with an unknown force near here. The opponent was small in number, but once had the upper hand, but then other forces joined in, forming a melee. Among them , and the remnants of the All Souls Church, as well as traces of the Orthodox Church!"

As he walked and watched, his expression became more serious.

"The entire battle process lasted for two or three hours, and the intensity of the battle also ranged from weak to strong, but all parties involved in the battle had a certain tacit understanding. Until the end, it did not cause a major impact on the surrounding area, and even the aftermath of the battle. It was confined to a small area, so I didn't even notice it!"

From the surrounding battle traces, he extracted a possible conclusion——

"The battle happened nearby, around the small building where I lived, so I have to think about it. Assuming that the person from the unknown force came for me, then other people are either stopping him or protecting me. So This conclusion is the starting point, and inferences are made, I am in a very strange position, which is both safe and dangerous, like walking a tightrope, relying on the mutual constraints of all parties to maintain a fragile balance."

Sitting on the tram, Colin quickly determined the possible reasons for this situation——

"The first possibility is that my identity in the subspace has been exposed, but the premise of this inference is that Tier [-] silver is very important to all parties, and at the same time they are not afraid of Tier [-] power. Too similar."

"The second possibility is based on that paper. If this is the case, it proves from the side that the importance of the paper is not only reflected in medicine, but also involves the mysterious world. It also means that demonic illness is not as simple as it was in the previous life. cancerous disease, but it involves mystery, which is why it was dubbed a devil."

"It's not difficult to prove which one it is. You just need to publish a second paper to make the situation a little more chaotic, and you can see a little bit. But this incident reminded me that the current situation is difficult. It moves my whole body. At the balance point of all forces in my depths, it is equivalent to being under the focusing light. I am not free. Maybe I should find an opportunity to contact the masked man Gerson. Maybe he has a way for me to have a disguised identity , just like his masked man."

Gerson is willing to meet with his true face, which in itself represents sincerity. Colin does not reject getting in touch with and getting closer to the team behind him, but this needs to be observed for a period of time.

With this in mind, when he arrived at the funeral parlor, he went to the female forensic doctor's office after finishing his work, and showed her the draft paper he had written in the past few days.

"I need your help with formatting and typography."

"So fast?" Holding the draft, the female forensic doctor was stunned, and when she browsed through it, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"The content is very complete! It also puts forward the mature ideas of 'human body ecology' and 'falsification of the immortality of demons', which are very groundbreaking, and even the prototype of a new discipline! This is amazing! You How deep is the accumulation of demonic diseases? The previous characteristic induction, now it seems, is just the tip of the iceberg of your knowledge system!"

She looked at him, the calmness on her face was completely replaced by shock.

Ke Lin said with some embarrassment: "This is just a rough idea, there are still many things that can be improved."

Not long ago, after he had a conversation with the old man Brendan from Desai, he had already started preparations, and now it was just in time to take it out.

The female forensic doctor shook her head, and she said: "No, the details are already perfect, what is lacking is the typesetting, but this is the least important thing. For others, submitting a paper is to get the journal to pass and get the corresponding paper. But for you, the journal will enhance its authority because of your paper! Actually, you don’t have to worry so much, even if this draft is passed now, the entire editorial department of "Continental Medicine" will be willing typesetting for you!"

"what do you mean?"

The female forensic doctor nodded and said: "It can be sent now, but in order to reduce the intermediate process, I suggest you go to see someone."

"Who?"

"Dean Anfield." The female forensic doctor glanced at the calendar on the wall, "It just so happens that he is almost busy today, let me take you there, he has urged me many times, I want you to see, why did he Your lab."

"Now? But work..."

"I will help you ask for leave, using the excuse of being recruited by the police station."

"That would be great." Colin breathed a sigh of relief, and then his cell phone rang suddenly. It was an unfamiliar number. Judging from the first two numbers, it was still an overseas call.

"It can't be phone fraud." Colin wanted to hang up instinctively and reflexively, but Chloe forensic doctor stopped him.

"I suggest that you answer all the overseas calls during this period, and you may have some unexpected gains."

"Ok."

Colin accepted the suggestion and pressed the answer button.

A male voice with a slight accent came out of the receiver——

"Hello, is this Mr. Varlin? I am the editor-in-chief of "Global Medicine", Duffy Hierser. I am sorry to disturb you, but we can't hold back our excitement, so we will contact you after we get in touch." I contacted you as soon as I finished the method, I want to invite you for a manuscript, and get the light of your wisdom crystallization, don't rush to refuse, listen to me..."

"It's a humiliation! It's a shame! As far as I can imagine, Anfield is behind everything! He set a trap in Fort Bolsen to lure me over! He launched that Colin Varlin again, as a puppet, to replace My fame! We can't let him get what he wants! Otherwise, all the plans will be in vain!"

In the bright office, Calvin Hull was sitting on a soft sofa, his anger made the veins appear under his skin, and his expression was a bit hideous.

On the opposite side, the handsome man with black-rimmed glasses and short blond hair smiled slightly and stood up.

"Don't worry, my friend." The blond man picked up a piece of paper from the table, "New Star Media has always been your good friend and ally. When you go to Bolsenburg this time, you must notice the A huge portrait, it’s our gift.”

"I haven't had time to go there. After that Kliman sent me back, I came here directly." Calvin was very irritable, "Shelter, I am very worried, this incident will affect the future business prospects, Maybe the Dissing Group will spread the word about it! We must act and not let the puppet at Anfield be proud! Is there anything you can do? You always have a way."

"Of course." The blond man Shelter said with a smile: "Things are not that bad. Although the Disin Group has a strong overall strength, they are much worse than us in terms of media and public opinion. We can take you away in two and a half years. In time, if you become the leading expert in the Old Continent, you will have a way to maintain your personality and at the same time stigmatize your competitors."

"Great, what's your plan? I mean, make some records for possible doubts..."

"No! Don't have such thoughts, don't try to justify, never defend, my friend, attack!" Shelter pointed to the street outside the window, "Look at these people, they are our weapons, Just tell them part of the truth, fan out their anger, lead them to a conclusion, and everything will fall into place. Remember, don’t express your opinions directly, but keep the surface neutral and objective, look at this..."

He handed the paper to Calvin, who looked down and was taken aback.

This is a layout plan for newspaper layout. Most of the places are empty, except for a few lines of words written with a marker in a few headline boxes.

Calvin whispered the titles in a slightly angry voice——

"Amazing Colin Varlin! He went from silent to earth-shattering in three days!"

"Big news! Trans-epochal research by unknown people!"

"Is it true or false? A sudden outburst of undergraduate graduates!"

"Are there still geniuses in this era?"

"Let's take a closer look at Mr. Varlin and step into the world of an ordinary but talented man."

……

He couldn't read any more, and raised his head to ask, "Why? Are you going to change your flag and choose this Colin Vallaine as your future packaging object?"

"Of course not, my friend, don't get excited," Shelter laughed. "This is to help you cut off the threat."

"The method is to praise him to the sky?"

"No, it is to label him! Label!" Shelter shook his head, "It seems that when it comes to the Waldsee Federation, you will think of freedom, wealth, power, and advancement. When you mention the Clovis Republic, you will think of surrender and romance. , derailment, strike, this is the label, simple and practical, everyone can remember."

"I don't see the point of that."

"It means a lot," Sherter put away his smile, and said sternly, "In this busy era, how many people can calm down, read a complete newspaper, read a complete book, and carefully analyze the content on TV? Every piece of news? Too little! Being so busy, many people have lost the ability to read and analyze, and can only absorb simple information. For them, labels and slogans are the most convenient signals to receive.”

He pointed to the paper.

"Tell me, what do you get from these headlines?"

Calvin was taken aback again, and said uncertainly, "Genius? Is this the label you prepared?"

"No, this is just the first batch of public opinion foreshadowing. Believe me, it only takes a week for someone to capture labels such as 'mediocre', 'lucky', and 'nobody' from it, and then they will question it. At this time, I We will arrange a series of reports on "academic fraud", cooperate with those who are oppressed by academics to testify, create a few typical models, send the tragedy to people, let their sudden kindness have a target to pour out, and then wait quietly Public opinion storm. At that time, who will care about your gaffe and dereliction of duty?"

After a pause, he added: "If in two days, there are doubts and ridicules about your professional ability, remember, don't justify, don't pay attention to it, don't get entangled in it, and change the topic to academic suppression, we will do it for you. You arrange interviews every two days, and you only need to show your professionalism. This not only relieves your crisis, but also suppresses our potential opponents."

Calvin asked: "Aren't you worried that someone will discover your plot? Will they follow your script? Maybe, instead, they will wake up and see your routine."

Shelter laughed again, and he came to the huge glass and spread his hands.

"More than ten years of study and years of social experience have not awakened them. Can they be awakened by watching newspapers and TV for a few days? Are newspapers and TV news the ladder of human progress? Don't be funny, the information they can get access to , will go through our New Star Media, and the conclusions they get are all tailored for them by us, and their thinking is actually the projection of our will!"

Faint brilliance flickered on his body, and there were faint echoes in all directions. Inside and outside the media building, people stopped their original movements, as if they had lost their souls, and whispered the same sentence——

"Their thinking is actually the projection of our will!"

Inexplicably, Calvin shuddered. He lowered his head, but still couldn't help but said, "But isn't this your profession?"

"For me, this is just a profession, not a sacred thing. So I know very well that whether it is TV or newspapers, they are just tools. Those who master the tools should not be addicted to the tools, but let the tools work for me." Flicker With a faint glow, Shelter seemed to be singing praises, "Calvin, you are a smart person, I can talk to you in a smart way, but those people outside can't, you need to use labels and slogans for them, do you understand? "

Calvin nodded.

"Very good." Shelter returned to normal, and he asked solemnly: "Then, there is only one question left now, are you sure that Colin Varlan's research results can be usurped?"

"Okay, as long as he is temporarily suppressed, I have nine ways to graft the content in the next papers and research."

"Okay, I trust your judgment!" Shelter took out the red wine and goblet from the wine cabinet, "Then, this accident is actually not a bad thing, but an opportunity. Come here, what could be better than adorning our crowns with the wisdom of others? We shall have a drink."
