Chapter 40 The Lock of Consciousness

Chapter 39 The Lock of Consciousness

The warm afternoon sun fell on the floor, the toy soldiers and magicians lined up on the floor, and the ball leaned against the corner.The fairy tale book is turned upside down, imagined as an Indian tent.

The windows were wide open, and the summer breeze blew in and bulged the white gauze curtains.

Someone was briskly working in the downstairs kitchen, and her soft humming floated from the window to the child's bedroom on the second floor.There is a freshly baked birthday cake on the table, a candy cat is on top of the cake, and three birthday candles have been inserted.

She stopped to listen, and heard the sound of a child getting up and moving upstairs, "Roach, are you awake?"

No one answered her, but then there was the thump of a child running down the wooden stairs.

"Roach," she called, "go downstairs slowly."

A young child appeared at the kitchen door in a blink of an eye, rubbing his eyes non-stop.His young mother hugged him into her arms, "Our baby is awake, are you thirsty?"

"I..." Roach was about to speak when he was attracted by the birthday cake on the table, "Birthday...a gift!"

"Roach." His father came in from the outside, full of summer smell, Roach turned to look at him.He came straight to his son, squatted down in front of Roach, stared straight at his son with deep eyes, Roach rubbed his nose, and looked at him inexplicably.

Roach didn't know what he meant, whether he wanted to renege on his debt.But Roach knew he was old enough to articulate his wishes, and they always came true, and he was proud of himself for discovering the trick.

"I want a birthday present!"

"Hold out your hand," the man winked at him. "Daddy has a birthday present for you."

Luo Qiji stretched out his hands in joy, with the small palms facing upwards.

A crystal cup appeared in his palm, he looked up curiously, the man was looking at him with a smile.He lowered his head, swallowed his saliva, and a small golden fish appeared in his crystal cup.

"Ah," he exclaimed, shaking for a while, the little fish flicked its tail and swam leisurely, drawing a golden arc in the crystal cup. "call!"

"Roach." His mother called him, her hand resting on her son's head, "Do you like it?"

The child nodded vigorously and looked at the little fish carefully, for fear that he would lose the little fish if he couldn't hold the water cup firmly.

"So you hold it tight," said her mother, her tone becoming serious. "Remember, keep holding it tight and never let go."

"Oh." Scared by his mother's serious tone, Roach raised his head nervously and swallowed again, "Oh."

"Never let go of your hand. If you let go, the water glass will fall to the ground and it will break, and the little fish will disappear." Mother said earnestly, "Do you remember?"

Roach became even more nervous, holding the crystal cup tightly, and reminded himself not to let go.

At this moment, the kitchen suddenly became dark. Roach raised his head and saw the wind and clouds surging outside the window, as if a summer storm had come suddenly.At this moment, a thunderclap shook the earth, and the house trembled.Roach trembled in fright, and held the crystal cup even more tightly, but he felt very tired, and hoped that the adults could hold it for him for a while.

He raised his head and begged to see his mother's face, but his mother kept her face cold and yelled at him, "Hold the cup tightly, don't let go, don't let the water spill out! Look at the little fish!"

Outside the window, there was heavy rain, lightning and thunder, and Roach looked at the door in fear. The strong wind hit the door panel like a giant's fist, as if it was about to tear the thin door panel apart.Luo Qi held his little fish tightly and did not dare to let go, the outside of the window turned into a color soaked in thick ink, the world seemed to disappear, there was only a lonely house, only him and his little fish.

When he turned his head, he couldn't find his parents anymore. The only thing he could catch was the little fish in the cup.The heavy sadness hit him again, and he sobbed softly.

"Look at the little fish." He murmured and repeated, looking down at the little fish in the cup, the golden little fish was swimming unhurriedly in his palm.The violent force outside the window to demolish the house gradually disappeared, and the world disappeared.

In the chaos, Luo Qi remembered that he was already very big, and he was no longer a child.It's not the first time he's been back in this scene either, although as far as he can remember, he doesn't remember his parents ever sending him a small fish.

He opened his eyes suddenly, his clothes were soaked in sweat, his hair was sticking to his scalp with wetness, his whole body looked like he had just been fished out of the water.He was coughing, his fingers were shaking, his arms and legs were cramping, and his body was in excruciating pain.He knew what was going on, he was experiencing aftershock.He couldn't remember how many times he had been shocked by Zhao Zhiyan. He had begun to despair, the abuse had no end, his muscle control had begun to deteriorate, and he would rather die than pee in his pants.

"Teacher, how is this time?"

"There is a core in his thinking barrier. Every time I want to destroy the barrier, his consciousness will hide in this core. This barrier was established by outsiders. It stands to reason that I should have exclusiveness to external consciousness, and there should be no such thing. Cooperating behavior. I think it is only possible that the person who designed this barrier left a deep hint in his consciousness, allowing his consciousness to actively strengthen the core of the barrier. This hint must have taken root in his childhood, so that he can It is buried deep in his consciousness without a trace. Now as long as his consciousness does not want to let go, the barrier will be difficult to break through."

"Then we have no choice but to continue destroying his consciousness. This kid doesn't seem to care about electric shocks anymore. Do you want to change the game?"

He didn't hear an answer, and Roach hoped that he would quickly change his game, and he could do whatever he wanted, as long as he could get rid of the electric shock.

Zhao Zhiyan added, "Actually, I always feel that Du Zhengyi won't reveal too much information about himself to him."

Luo Qi was taken aback. Zhao Zhiyan seemed to have said something beneficial to him?Could it be that Zhao Zhiyan was tired of torturing him and wanted to leave work early?

"That's not important." Li Xu replied, "The important thing is that we can't let go of any brain involved in this matter."

Luo Qi gave up a little bit, just as he guessed, Li Xu originally planned to gouge Du Zhengyi's brain in the end no matter whether he betrayed Du Zhengyi or not.Fortunately, he didn't say anything, otherwise the information he provided subjectively would become an index to browse his brain. Once Li Xu entered his consciousness, he would extract relevant information in his consciousness faster.

Now he can do nothing but let others slaughter him.His eyes were cloudy, he couldn't see things clearly, everything was just a blurred shadow in front of his eyes.As time passed, those shadows became more and more blurred, and gradually even the outlines were a little unclear.Losing his vision would make him more focused on the conscious world and, of course, more panicky, they presumably blinded him on purpose.For some reason, he suddenly remembered the dead body with eyes nailed through in the yard of Qi's family.

An idea flashed through his mind.Now that he thinks about it, he does know that some deep mountains have the habit of killing female infants. This is something he really knows. He can even recall in detail when he saw the news and where he saw it of.But that was a long time ago, and the steel needle in the news he recorded was stuck in the baby girl's stomach.

But that day in the teahouse, he wanted to use an unimaginable story to attract Guan Xinyue, and when he got closer to her, he suddenly thought of the horrible situation of the steel needle piercing his eyes. Combined with an outdated news, a horrifying story is told.The story was so true that even Du Zhengyi was attracted by him.

His heart was beating wildly, he felt that he had found the key point, and he was about to figure it out, but the answer was always separated from him.He became angry, and suddenly froze again, feeling that he was ridiculous.He may be coming to the end in a daze, and what's the use of trying to figure it out at the last moment?

In a daze, he heard Zhao Zhiyan say, "Of course it is. I just want to say that I am more curious about why the monk is afraid of him when he sees him."

Fuck, Luo Qi cursed in his heart, just now he thought that Zhao Zhiyan was trying to persuade his teacher to let him go, but it turned out that he just wanted to remind his teacher not to forget other points not to let him go.

"Of course it will be that monk's turn when the experiment with Roach is completed."

"However, although extreme fear and pain can make people give up the idea of ​​survival, there is a gap in the soul. But Roach is also a magician after all. If there are any particularly obvious traces left on him, there is no way to deal with it afterwards. He Parents will definitely ask for an explanation, and I don't think Pei Shu will let it go."

"That's true." Li Xu agreed gently, but seemed calm and confident.

Roach thought with disgust that all his accents were bad.

"I think we might as well try human materials, maybe it will be helpful. Stones from other mountains can be used to make jade."

Roach didn't know what he wanted to try. Are there any human materials that magic can't replace?What is it that is so useful that this lotus burner can condescend to use it?

He heard Zhao Zhiyan's puzzled voice, "Oxyfluorocarbon solution?"

Chemical Name?Roach froze.Then he felt that the name was very familiar, he seemed to have seen it somewhere, of course not in the world of magicians.Had his human friends mentioned it?It's not like, they are not very studious, and they are not interested in chemistry. The only chemical term they can remember after graduating from high school is probably only carbon dioxide.

Slowly, he remembered that he had read it in a novel, a human novel.

A hand fell on his shoulder, interrupting his thoughts. It was Li Xu's hand. He said gently, "Son, are you ready? Let's have another round."

Roach felt a severe physical discomfort at his words, coupled with the fact that he had been struck by lightning too many times, his control ability was very weak, and he opened his mouth to spit on him.

If Luo Qi had normal eyesight, he could see how funny Li Xu's appearance was.Even if he couldn't see it, his heart was very happy.But if he could see a water tank big enough to stuff a living person on the obsidian tabletop, he would probably be left with nothing but despair.

"Son." Li Xu said after cleaning himself up, "You can't control yourself anymore. This is the result of the experiment I wanted, so I don't blame you."

Roach instinctively felt nervous.

"Asphyxiation is a slow process of letting go," he said. "The moment of death is always a perfect time to extract ideas. How about we take a bet? I'll bet that you can be in the panic and desperation before you drown." Unlock the lock of ideas in your brain, and extract useful information from ideas in your last moment of life. You, you come to bet on whether you can bring the secret into the coffin. Children, you like human culture so much, Do you remember how humans unlocked the nine chain locks?"
