Starting from the lifting of human restrictions

Chapter 202 Consciousness
Pale face, blank eyes.

Yu Qingya observed the boy who suddenly woke up in the ward through the transparent glass. With the training of the investigation bureau, she subconsciously noticed that the boy's mental state seemed to be very strange.

"We can't be seen from the inside. Every laboratory here is specially designed, including these glasses, which can withstand the power of a 10-ton TNT explosion."

With a faint smile on his face, Zhuo Yan gently raised his wrist and pressed a call button, "Laboratory No. 97, the experimental subject has awakened, and the next step of the plan can be carried out."

After finishing speaking, Zhuo Yan said to Yu Qingya, "Your Investigation Bureau had several superhuman projects and cooperated with us decades ago. But at that time, we couldn't break through the shackles of the human body. You see The experimental subject in front of us is a relatively important part of some of the observation experiments we are currently conducting.

They are born with superpowers after being bred, but the uncertainty of superpowers makes this advanced productivity uncontrollable.What we are observing now is to analyze the type of a person's superpower awakening, whether it is induced by emotions, or the reason for the social growth environment, or the tendency of the experimental subject itself. "

After Zhuo Yan finished speaking, Yu Qingya saw the boy in the laboratory, who seemed to have gradually realized something, started to struggle, and seemed to want to escape.

But following his movements, Yu Qingya who was outside the laboratory also saw that the boy's hands and feet were clasped by alloy metal chains. The bed made of alloy and fixed on the ground completely restricted the boy's further freedom of movement.

"Let me out! Who are you, let me out!"

Yu Qingya looked through the glass of the laboratory. Although the laboratory was isolated from sound energy, she could roughly judge what the boy said through the boy's struggling and shouting mouth shapes.

However, soon an alloy metal door near the inner side of this laboratory opened, and four staff members wearing white mechanical exoskeletons approached the laboratory.

The mechanical exoskeletons of these staff members are significantly higher than those used by ordinary soldiers and security guards. They almost have full-body protection, and they look like a single piece of personal armor.

After entering the laboratory, everyone first pushed the young man inside back to the hospital bed, and fastened new alloy chains on his body to prevent him from breaking free.

Then, one of the staff members in white armor brought a metal helmet from behind and put it on the boy's head.

"That helmet is..."

Yu Qingya watched the staff member's actions inside, and couldn't help but make a sound.

"The virtual reality helmet has the most advanced brain machine and brain wave device, which can capture the mental state of the experimenter's brain, and even... his dreams."

Zhuo Yan showed a bit of pride and complacency on his face, "The metaverse and virtual reality network world that is popular in the Federation are just by-products of our research on the human brain and consciousness dreams. Consciousness, emotions, these things used to be for us. It can be called a mysterious field, and now we have set foot in it, and with the brain computer, we can also pry into the deeper mysteries of the awakening of different superpowers by these things."

Yu Qingya is no stranger to the brain computer and virtual reality helmet Zhuo Yan mentioned.

After all, in the federal territory, except for the black and gray areas like Xiushui District, most cities have already widely used this technology.

The concept of the metaverse has been popular since before World War III, and has developed to a certain extent.

In the era of the Provisional Government after the Third World War and the establishment of the Federation after the Fourth World War, it can be said that the metaverse of virtual reality has actually become the Federation, no, it should be said to be an inseparable part of this world.

From some virtual online games in the early decades to the most popular active armed competitions today, they all belong to the legacy of the development of this technology.

Of course, this technology, and even the expansion of the entire metaverse world, is not as wild and disorderly as the Internet in the past, but everything is under the control and restriction of various forces.

No government is willing to immerse a large number of workers in a virtual world. The productivity of society is far from reaching that level. Development is moving forward, but it is all limited.

Except for the giant consortium companies, as well as the federal government or other government forces, other forces are almost difficult to get involved.

But even so, for a large number of ordinary people who are overwhelmed by real life, there is already a temporary safe haven for a short escape.

"The brain-computer connection is complete!"

In the laboratory, after installing the brain-computer interface on the boy, four staff members in white armor fixed the restraint device on his body again, and a report sounded from Zhuoyan's watch.

"Start it, let's take a look at the experimenter's subconscious and what his dream world looks like."

Zhuo Yan gave another command to the watch.

Standing aside, Yu Qingya immediately saw lines of electronic text appearing on the glass where the experiment could be observed.

Name: Yang Chu

Age: 16
No.: 348927
Batch: 86
Place of release: Xiping District, Southern Province.

预估觉醒日期：2263年12月15日到2263年12月31日

Observation log:

1.2263. At 12:22 on December 23, 45, I woke up for the first time. I was strongly stimulated by the suppression operation, and my mind was in a trance state;
2.2263. At 12:23 on December 5, 20, he woke up for the second time, conducted sound wave and photoelectric experiments, and under external stimuli, briefly displayed superpowers that seemed to be manipulative;
3.2263年12月23日14点33分，第三次苏醒，脑机实验
……

"Today is the 23rd, and it is now 14:33."

After reading the words displayed on the glass, Yu Qingya checked the current time for the first time.

In this experimental base called the cocoon, the high-power lights illuminate everything brightly, and it is difficult for people living in it to have an accurate concept of time.

For all the experiments in this base along the way, she still showed obvious emotions in front of her, but after she gradually came to her senses, she didn't express much.

As Zhuo Yan, the person in charge, said, there are too many research projects in the Federation, and their investigation bureau is not clean.

Among them, as far as she knows, there are three superpower projects. Those that are shut down and those that are not accessible to her at this level, there may be more.

This time, she came into contact with Zhuoyan, the cocoon experiment base, and the "Super Revolution" plan that the other party said. These are what the Bureau of Investigation wanted her to explore.

On the contrary, the "Fang Sheng" who escaped from the suspected superpower is just an insignificant person.

The important thing is whether the real hidden things here will pose a security risk to the entire Federation.

Of course, there is no doubt that the project Zhuoyan is researching must have a huge impact on the Federation, or on the entire world and the entire human race.

She believes that behind this plan, there are far more than just the two forces of the military and the audio company. As Zhuo Yan said, their investigation bureau actually has a part in it.It's just that its secrecy may be too high, even some high-level officials don't know about it.

Zhuo Yan asked her to see everything in the base, but the purpose was obvious.

Either it is the strength represented by Zhuo Yan and him, or it is necessary to let the Investigation Bureau and other forces know exactly what they are doing, and stop spying outside suspiciously.

Or it was that Zhuo Yan just regarded her as a dispensable audience, and after she finished watching all this, she disappeared completely.Or become an experiment in these laboratories.

In addition, Yu Qingya knew that the boy named Yang Chu inside was the only survivor after the military and the audio company wiped out Qingshui Street and Xiushan.

And the reason why the other party is alive is that this boy belongs to what Zhuo Yan just said, and the other party is a member of the so-called "Super Power Revolution" project, an artificially cultivated "superhuman" thrown into the society .

After finding Yang Chu, it is natural not to quietly erase them like other low-level population, but to extract the maximum value.

"here we go!"

Just as the thoughts in Qingya's mind were spinning, Zhuo Yan next to him stared intently at the glass screen in front of him and said something softly.

Yu Qingya quickly looked up, and saw a large piece of transparent glass outside the laboratory. Except for a small area, it was still transparent. It could be seen that the boy named Yang Chu lying on the hospital bed in the experiment was constantly struggling to get out of the room. Except for the device that fixed his body, the other areas were all gray.

Gradually, as the young man lying on the hospital bed stopped struggling, he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep or some special state, and the data of Yang Chu displayed earlier had been swept away.

"Please sit down!"

Zhuo Yan took two steps back towards the wide corridor behind him, stretched out his hand and made a gesture to Yu Qingya.

At some point, a staff member wearing white armor who couldn't see his face and figure came over, and behind the two of them, two folding chairs and a small tea seat were placed. There were also some fruit snacks on the tea seat.

It looked as if the two of them were watching a movie.

Yu Qingya sat down with Zhuo Yan, and looked at the glass screen with display function outside the laboratory again.

At first, what was displayed on the glass screen was still gray, as if it was like chaos, everything was frozen, and there was no concept of time and space.

Gradually, these gray areas began to change, like a vortex, and began to circulate.

"Beginning to capture his consciousness."

Zhuo Yan stretched out his hand to pick up a cup of drink from the small tea seat next to him, and took a sip leisurely, with a look of leisure on his face.

Yu Qingya's expression was tense, looking at the gradually changing scene, her eyes were slightly curious.

It is also the first time for her to experience the consciousness deep in a person's heart, as well as the hidden dreams, which can be captured and displayed through the brain computer, and it is enough to arouse her strong curiosity.

She even felt that if this technology could be widely used in some investigations within the Bureau of Investigation, or in the Police Department.

The gray situation in the picture changed quickly, and a middle-aged woman's voice suddenly appeared, "This child is a bit withdrawn, I don't know if anyone will adopt it?"

"There is still a sound?"

Yu Qingya was slightly shocked by the sound.

"Of course, what we capture is a person's subconscious and dreams." Zhuo Yan replied casually with a smile.

On the glass screen, accompanied by the middle-aged woman's voice, a somewhat shaky clip appeared.

It was a slightly mottled wall, and the building passing by looked like an orphanage
In the open space in front of a step, a middle-aged woman dressed in black who looked a bit mean, while squinting at the empty distance, was talking to an elderly man.

When Yu Qingya saw this scene, she could naturally understand it. This should be the deepest memory of that young man named Yang Chu.

The direction that the middle-aged woman looked at was the subjective perspective of the boy.

The old man also glanced at it, nodded and said: "People are still smart, let's do it this time, and next time if other families come over, let them see it."

Soon after this scene, many messy scenes flashed.

There are scenes of juveniles fighting with others from the subjective perspective, scenes of being bullied and crying under him, and scenes of being laughed at at the gate of the orphanage.

These pictures seemed to be mottled and gray, but a relatively bright picture appeared afterward.

"Husband, look at this kid, his eyes are very bright, and he is smart at a glance."

"It looks pretty cute, or we can go to the dean to ask about the situation."

What appeared in the picture was a middle-aged couple. They looked decently dressed, with a warm smile on their faces, as if they were shining with light.

"It's the adoption scene."

Looking at this clip, Yu Qingya probably guessed that this was the scene where Yang Chu was adopted.

Probably because this scene was very impressive, and subconsciously felt beautiful, so there seemed to be a kind of light in this couple.

Then, the teenager who flashed by quickly entered the couple's home for the first time. From the timidity at the beginning, to calling the couple's parents, and then the fragments of going to school, and the daily trivial family life, these pictures are relatively bright. .

But later, the couple's family went bankrupt, their lives became more and more stressful, they quarreled, they caught a glimpse of the couple's cheating, they were beaten by the husband who was unhappy at work, they were scolded by the wife, and they were bullied at school...

Then--

It was the scene where the family left the spacious house and moved to Xiushan, Qingshui Street, Xiushui District.

At this point, the picture has actually turned gray again, showing the subconscious master's gloomy view of these lives.

Immediately afterwards, there was another paragraph. The couple died suddenly in an accident, and the young man was left to live alone in the air-raid shelter in Xiushan, which was like a bunker.

The teenager started to live alone, picking up garbage, doing odd jobs, going to school, fighting with all kinds of people, big and small, just like a little wolf, trying to support himself by all means.

And among them, there was a scene where the teenager had a splitting headache for the first time and awakened superpowers.

The coin floated in the air.

The whole picture seemed to brighten up again at this moment.

finally--

It is the scene of Qingshui Street and Xiushan being destroyed.

The explosions and bombardments all over the sky seemed to be the end of the day...

"Is that all he remembers?"

Seeing this, Yu Qingya relaxed a little. Although this technology is very strange, she didn't find it shocking just to track down one's memory.

Glancing sideways at Zhuo Yan next to her, Yu Qingya realized that the person in charge of the experimental base, who claimed to be a professor, frowned and pursed her lips tightly, as if caught in some kind of thinking.

Sudden--

At this moment, on the glass screen, the picture spun rapidly.

It was as if a vortex appeared on the screen, and everything was swallowed up.

Rumbling--

A series of earth-shattering explosions sounded.

A voice that was absolutely different from what they had heard came from inside.

"Quick, choose to come back!! He's coming!!"
