Witch Special
Chapter 390 Flesh and Blood Rampage, Brain Monster
It was not surprising that Lin Zhenxi could make such a guess. After all, the more special envoys she knew were the ones who went to the world where the Alien Clan originally lived to investigate the truth.
That was the first time that the "company" organized a collective time travel, and it was also the first time that internal personnel other than special envoys were allowed to observe the special envoys' time travel process, so Lin Zhenxi had a very deep impression of it.
Lin Zhenxi put forward his own guess and got confirmation from Miss Liz that this brain did come from one of the special envoys who returned from the world of the Alien Tribe with great difficulty.
After the first wave of envoys returned, the company sent another group of envoys to that world because they didn't have enough intelligence. This brain before us was a member of this second group.
Although she had guessed it, Lin Zhenxi couldn't help but feel shocked when her guess was confirmed. What on earth had her colleague gone through to become this miserable state with only a brain left?
"She wasn't like this when she first returned." Yan Qing took over Liz Nightingale's words and continued to explain to Lin Zhenxi, "At the beginning, she was just mentally unstable, and she kept repeating 'Falling into the abyss, falling into the abyss!' But at least her body was still intact."
"Because she seems to have mental problems, the 'company' temporarily placed her with me to see if anything has followed her."
"But not long after, her body began to dissolve. Maki, you didn't see it, the pieces of flesh that fell off her body seemed to come alive, scrambling to jump off her body and turning into lumps of slime. They then ran around the containment room, knocking over all the furniture inside."
"Once I initiate the disinfection process and remove all the loose flesh from the containment chamber, all that's left of her will be a skeleton and her brain trapped in her skull."
"Maki, did you see those nerve bundles? They were standing upright, flailing around like crazy. It was scary."
"I was afraid the brain would turn into a fleshy monster and escape, so I activated the containment chamber's security measures and reported the situation to 'the company.' They sent a robot to the containment chamber to extract the brain from the skeleton and place it at the medical center to see if they could extract any more valuable information."
"But we've been worrying about this brain for a long time and haven't found a solution. Those nerve bundles are alive, and they protect this brain. Our memory extraction device simply can't insert the probe into the brain's sulcus."
Wait, did you just say something really bad?
It’s just memory retrieval, I can do that too... then it’s okay.
After talking about the situation of this horrifying brain, Yan Qing and Miss Liz Nightingale looked at Lin Zhenxi expectantly, hoping that she could provide some constructive suggestions.
Lin Zhenxi also had his own preliminary judgment on this.
After all, the rampage of flesh and blood is so typical that it is hard not to think of it as an indescribable great existence.
"I suspect... she encountered something terrifying in that world beyond her ability to accept, and her mind was contaminated. Although the 'Company' will help the special envoy cleanse the contamination during the journey, if she continues to dwell on it later, the contamination may resurface."
"Didn't you also say, Yan Miao, that she was normal when she first came back, and it was only later that her flesh and blood started to run wild? This suggests that her mental pollution had been suppressed initially, but perhaps something stimulated the polluted memory buried deep within her memory, causing the pollution in her memory to leak out and pollute her mind again."
"This kind of mental pollution usually occurs when one is confronted with a mystery that far exceeds one's ability to accept. Furthermore, that mystery itself is likely not a good thing, otherwise it would simply burn one's brain, and there would be no need for a bloody rampage. This is already a case of deliberately killing someone by relying on their own higher level of mystery."
Lin Zhenxi wanted to continue speaking, but then she saw that both Yan Qing and Liz were looking at her with sparkling eyes, as if she had done something great.
"Uh, why are you looking at me like that?" What are you looking at.
"Ms. Lin Zhenxi, you are the expert in this field." Miss Liz turned her wheelchair completely towards Lin Zhenxi and spoke to her in a soft voice.
Before, when Liz Nightingale was talking to Lin Zhenxi, she had always leaned sideways, and her eyes had never left the jar filled with light green nutrient solution. But now, she was finally willing to look at Lin Zhenxi with her full face.
Compared to Miss Liz's coldness, Yan Qing's performance was much more lively. She directly grabbed Lin Zhenxi's arm and started swinging it.
"Wow, Maki, how do you know so much? We're at a loss for what to do with this brain of ours. Do you know how to quiet it down?"
"Can't we use anesthetics? As far as I know, the flesh and blood after a frenzy can be regarded as an independent individual with a very unstable form of existence. They should have taken anesthetics, right?" Lin Zhenxi asked with a frown.
Yan Qing spread her hands and explained helplessly, "But the brain is completely exposed. We can't be sure if it can withstand the anesthetic in this state. After all, the cortex is very sensitive to external stimuli, and we can't guarantee that the ingestion of anesthetics will not affect the memory in the brain."
In reality, modern medical methods simply don't work. This mysterious pollution from higher up is inherently restrictive to scientific creations. Even pure metal creations can grow flesh and blood out of thin air after being contaminated. Science is completely unable to explain these uncanny things.
Of course, if science develops to a certain level, these indescribable things will not be impossible to observe. As long as they are observable, they can be interfered with, restricted, contained, or killed. At that stage, science will have a crushing advantage over these dirty things.
To put it in a more vivid way, Science is a late-stage game. As long as it develops well, it can defeat everything in an instant. However, the early development time is too long, and before it develops well, it is extremely weak. Any guy with a higher level of mystery can kill Science.
While the "company" also dabbled in occult-related businesses, it clearly placed a greater emphasis on technological development. Both Yan Qing and Liz likely primarily used scientific methods to treat their patients. Having encountered a patient severely affected by mental contamination, even reaching the stage of physical violence, it was understandable that they felt helpless.
After all, the current state of the brain can hardly even be classified as "alive" in scientific and medical terms.
But it is alive, not only alive, but also looks very energetic, even in the posture of a predator, waiting for an opportunity, ready to attack any approaching prey at any time.
Perhaps they were completely at their wit's end, so they requested technical support from above. Then, Princess White immediately passed the task on to Lin Zhenxi, asking this mysterious expert to solve the problem they encountered, which was unsolvable with current science.
Lin Zhenxi wasn't being modest. Aside from the White Princess, who wouldn't personally participate, she was probably the strongest character in terms of the mysterious side. Even if there were other special envoys with mysterious sides, she was probably the only one who had already begun the B-rank promotion assessment.
Moreover, Lin Zhenxi just happened to have a solution to the problem Yan Qing and the others were facing.
"If I calm her down, are you sure you can extract her memories? Let's be clear, mental contamination usually develops gradually from the inside out. By the time even her flesh and blood begin to deform, the deep-seated mental contamination within her is already too severe to repair. Your ordinary technological means may not only be unable to obtain information, but may even become a channel for the contamination to spread, allowing it to be transmitted to you through the signals."
Lin Zhenxi said a lot, and then Yan Qing and Lizzie Nightingale looked at each other and made way for the jar together.
"You are an expert, come here, come here." Yan Qing walked around behind Lin Zhenxi and pushed Lin Zhenxi in front of the jar.
Lin Zhenxi turned his head and glanced at Yan Qing, who clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly to Lin Zhenxi, as if she were praying to a Buddha. "Please, please, this is a task assigned to us by the 'company'. If we fail to complete it, we will be evaluated. You can't just watch me get my salary docked and then do nothing to help me."
In fact, Lin Zhenxi didn't say she wouldn't do it, but the commission she had was to assist Lizzie Nightingale in completing the work. The real leader should be Lizzie, who had not expressed her opinion, rather than her best friend Yan Qing.
So Lin Zhenxi was actually waiting for Lizzie to speak in person, rather than just using simple body language.
"Sorry to trouble you, Miss Lin Zhenxi." Miss Lizzie's reaction seemed a little slow. After discovering that Lin Zhenxi had been waiting for her for several seconds, she belatedly asked Lin Zhenxi for help.
I've been waiting for you to say this. Lin Zhenxi nodded, and easily pinched the back of Yan Qing's neck, pulling Yan Qing, whose body instantly stiffened, to the side. Then he drew his wand and walked to the jar.
The nutrient solution in the jar glowed with a light green light, casting a layer of green on Lin Zhenxi's face, making it look eerie.
As if sensing danger, the nerve bundles hanging down from the floating brain in the jar all came alive and began to swing around like crazy. Although they were very thin, they were quite powerful when twisted together, knocking against the inner wall of the jar with a loud bang.
Of course, it only made a few noises, and it was absolutely unrealistic to want to break the jar and run away.
