Chapter 649: Finding the Brain in a Jar
Ten times? Twenty times? Fifty times?

Tang Hanlu seemed to be trapped in an endless nightmare. She would always be found by a madman, who would only do one thing, which was to jump off a tall building while holding her in his arms.

It went on and on in a never-ending cycle. Every time she thought she had woken up from the dream and it was finally over, that madman would appear and take her deeper into the depths.

His eyes were bloodshot and covered with bloodshot. Tang Hanlu's spirit had collapsed, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"No, I can't go on like this, I can't go on like this!"

Tang Hanlu got up tremblingly and walked to the window in her thin pajamas: "Let me die, please let me die!"

With a crash, the window was opened. Tang Hanlu stepped on the metal window frame and looked outside the house. The familiar city had changed its appearance. Every building was made up of organs and human bodies, the rails were blood vessels, the circuits were long and thin nerves, the energy center turned into a huge heart, and what controlled all of this was a huge black box without a roof in the center of the city.

Inside the box is the seventh-generation intelligent brain of the Xinhu Smart City. In the deepest part of this nightmare, only it is exactly the same as in reality, and it is a living human brain!
Countless chains are wrapped around the huge black box, and that scarred brain is responsible for the operation of the entire flesh-and-blood city.

"On the 191st dive, Tang Ling's self-will was completely destroyed. Is this the scene she has always wanted to hide?" Gao Ming stood on the top floor of the residential building, looking down at the city made entirely of flesh and blood: "In Tang Ling's mind, is Xinhu like this?"

Gao Ming jumped down and let the nightmare change. The next moment he appeared next to the huge black box.

No one knows what material this box is made of, but the brain is trapped inside and cannot escape at all.

Gao Ming tried to open it, but all the attacks he used in his dream could not cause any damage to the box itself, and at most could only break the chains.

"Don't waste your energy." A familiar voice came from the huge black box, as if the brain had directly transmitted the information to Gao Ming's ears: "Stay close to the box, my voice can't reach too far."

Gao Ming had heard this voice in the Magic City Lunatic Asylum. It belonged to No. 2, the former intelligent computer of the smart city.

Stepping on the chain, Gao Ming came to the top of the black box. The top was not sealed, and the brain could be seen completely from here.

"You finally found me." Number Two's voice was filled with fatigue. All his abilities were suppressed and he was now just a miserable brain in a jar.

"Number two?"

"I am just a consciousness trapped in the depths of Tang Ling's nightmare. My real body is imprisoned by Number Zero." The blood vessels in the brain were beating, and Number Two's emotions were changing.

"Is it just a trapped consciousness, but the aura it exudes is so terrifying?" The entire city is affected by the ability of No. 2. It is bound by layers, but it still gives Gao Ming a very dangerous feeling. He dare not imagine how terrifying the complete No. 2 is. It is estimated that among the unspeakable, No. 2 is also a top existence.

"Why did you lie to me in the Magic City Mental Asylum? What is your relationship with Tang Ling?" Gao Ming's hand passed through the gap in the chain and reached into the black box. The brain was soaked in a transparent viscous liquid and could not be touched directly.

"I have never believed in Tang Ling, but only by cooperating with her and pretending to be deceived by her can I have the opportunity to contact the outside world." The voice of No. 2 was like ripples that directly flowed into Gao Ming's palm.

"Have you ever thought that your cooperation may lead to the death of many people who are dissatisfied with Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals?" Gao Ming had a blank expression and a calm gaze: "They just use you as bait to lure those forbidden players and believers of the Savior." "It doesn't matter how many people die. The only way to break the deadlock is to let the Saviors come back, so I must find a way to pass the information to the Savior's shrine no matter what." No. 2 was very rational and his words were very cruel.

"Where is the savior's shrine? I can help you pass the message." Gao Ming is not a good person, but he doesn't want to see those innocent people die in vain.

"forgotten."

"Forgot?" Gao Ming almost grabbed the human brain with his five fingers: "How could I forget such an important thing?"

"This is also what I am most worried about. The unspeakable existence transcends life and death. It will never die, but will only be forgotten. When no one remembers him, that is when he will truly disappear." Number Two's voice became even more tired: "I have forgotten his name, and I don't know what his shrine looks like or where it is placed."

"So... the savior is no longer here?" Gao Ming frowned. He alone could not withstand the revenge of Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals.

"It could also be that the distance is too far. After all, the place they went to is the core of the deep world." Number Two seemed to be worried that Gao Ming would feel that he had made a wasted trip, so he comforted him, "I can tell you all the information about Yongsheng Pharmaceutical and Xinhu Blood City, including the Hanhai Project that you are most interested in. But you have to hurry up and ask. It won't be long before the new Number Zero arrives and transfers my consciousness to other places."

"What can I do to save you?"

"It's useless. The jar that imprisoned me was made to imitate the black box of despair in the deep world. It is difficult to open it with the power of ghosts. In addition, the Eternal Life Pharmaceutical has set up a self-destruct sensor. Once the black box suffers an unbearable attack, it will destroy my consciousness in advance." No. 2's huge brain was embedded in the center of the city, enduring pain and torture all the time.

"It seems that we need to take the box with us." Gao Ming nodded: "I know what to do."

It tore open its chest, and eight giant hands of flesh and blood stretched out from it, as if a deep-sea monster was hugging the black box from eight different directions.

The dream city made up of human bodies and organs began to collapse. Gao Ming sped up his movements. Countless dream traces intertwined on the black box. Just before the dream collapsed, he dragged No. 2's brain and the black box into the torture chamber!

Layer after layer of dreams were shattered, and after 191 dives, Gao Ming finally found what he wanted in Tang Ling's subconscious ocean.

"Break the sleep!"

Tang Hanlu, who was standing next to the windowsill, was rapidly changing her appearance. The countless Blood City Ghost Patterns on her body were quickly detaching and turning into a key to open the door to her dream home and returning to Gao Ming's hand. When the last trace of the Blood City Ghost Pattern faded away, Gao Ming disappeared in her dream.

……

When she opened her eyes, Tang Ling was bleeding from all seven orifices and felt a sharp pain in her head. Her bloodshot eyes stared at the work report on the table without reading a single word. There was only one thought in her mind - jump down, jump down!

"This should also be a dream. I will wake up if I jump down. This must be the case. This must be the case!!!"

She stood up and walked to the windowsill. Several staff members heard what was wrong and rushed in to check. They used all their strength to control Tang Ling.
