"They... won't move again, will they?" On the way back to the ground, Aaron glanced at the out-of-control prosthetic man who fell on the ground, and asked Zhou Yuqing with lingering fear.

"Their brains were burned, and now they are just dead bodies." The person who answered him was Lan Tian.

"During the conflict between you and the Dream Maker just now?" She basically told Aaron what happened after Zhou Yuqing left Aaron, so he knew that Lan Tian mobilized those whose brains had been removed in order to stop the assembly line and save Zhou Yuqing.

The victims are used as "computing resources".

"Yes, they were hopeless anyway." It sounded like Lan Tian didn't feel much guilt for these people, "Do you know the nature of the virus used by the Dream Maker?"

"How would I know? I'm just an inconspicuous little policeman. I always got a passing grade in the electronic warfare course at the police academy." Aaron half laughed at himself and half at the other party.

"Then I'll try my best to explain it in words that you can understand." Lan Tian didn't accept his weird attitude at all, "First of all, let me tell you some basics that you must know. When the prosthetic body is used normally, it must have a direct mental connection with the human brain.

To correctly send and receive instructions, so in order to prevent the body from rejecting the prosthetic transplant, all prosthetic transplant recipients will take several semi-permanent drugs to allow the body to accept the connection to the prosthesis. This procedure is usually called specific immunosuppressive therapy."

"So the problem lies in this suppressive therapy?" Aaron's lack of interest in this aspect does not mean that he is stupid. "Ordinary people who have not received this therapy will not be affected. Only people who have received this therapy will.

Something went wrong?”

"Absolutely like this." Lan Tian gave a positive answer, "This therapy has certain joint effects. For example, it will enhance the impact of external input signals on the human brain. In normal times, this can make the relationship between the implanter and the prosthetic body better.

The connection between them is smoother, allowing them to operate the insurgents more easily, but if someone takes advantage of this loophole to make a fuss..."

"The implanter's resistance is also much lower than that of ordinary people." Aaron took over what Lan Tian left unfinished.

"This virus mainly invades and rewrites the areas of the infected person's brain that deal with reality. Theoretically, this area is the most stubborn part of the human brain and difficult to be changed from the outside, unless the person is made into a vat.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to completely take over the infected person's perception of reality as a 'wetware' like the brain. However, due to specific immunosuppression, the resistance of prosthetic implanters in this regard is much weaker than that of natural people. The infected person is

After infection, all their perceptions of reality are taken over by the virus, and their brains become prisoners trapped in their own bodies. Everything they perceive has been tampered with by the virus. What's even more terrible is that at this time, the brain itself is still

Being able to send commands to one's own body, as long as these people's perception of reality is directionally tampered with, they can do what the virus developers want them to do like remote-controlled corpses. Victims who have been completely trapped in false hallucinations simply cannot

I don’t know what I actually did.”

"Even if the virus is eventually eliminated?" Aaron asked.

"No, the infected person's perception of reality has been completely disconnected from the actual senses of the body by the virus. If the virus is eliminated, the infected person will immediately fall into a state called a hallucination black hole, and will be in a conscious state.

In this situation, you feel the intense confusion caused by all the senses mixed together, and the body cannot feel the instructions from the brain at all and cannot transmit signals to the brain." Lan Tian's voice suddenly became extremely gloomy, "Believe me, that feeling is worse than anything else.

die."

"I heard in the past when I was chatting with people from the Drug Enforcement Administration that people who overdose on certain drugs will enter that state and basically have a narrow escape from death." As a police officer, Aaron will also find out a lot of things.

"The blockade produced by the drug is temporary. If the drug is overpowering and the person does not die, there is still hope of survival. The blockade produced by the virus is permanent. Unless someone can take a few hours to destroy the infected person's brain,

All the damaged nerve synapses must be repaired, otherwise they will definitely die." Lan Tian sighed.

"The highest level of modern medicine may be able to do it, but it will only work for millions of people, hey." Zhou Yuqing, who had been listening in, interjected.

"What about those people who were infected but not out of control? What happened to them?" Aaron was silent for a few minutes and then asked.

"Oh, those people may mistakenly think that their mental power plays a key role. In fact, they are just lucky. It cannot be stopped by willpower when the virus takes over the cognitive ability." Lan Tian gave a smile with complicated emotions.

, "Their body's original rejection reaction to the implanted prosthesis is very small, so the amount of medication used when performing specific immunosuppression is smaller than the normal value. This virus seems to be designed based on the standard dosage of medication, and the dosage of medication is relatively small."

It is difficult for people with relatively intact immunity to have an effect, just like the virus itself has almost no effect on natural people. At most, they will only feel sensory disharmony or temporarily fall into hallucinations, and then the virus will confirm that it cannot take over.

It will delete itself after infecting the person's senses."

"...I understand." Originally, Aaron wanted to try to find a way to save these people, but after hearing this explanation, he knew that there was nothing he could do.

"Everything you want to ask has been answered, but you haven't answered me what I asked you." After the Q&A between the two ended, Zhou Yuqing looked at Aaron and said.

"I don't think I have a choice?" Aaron smiled bitterly.

"You really have no choice. The only choice is whether to drag Officer Ling into the water. But in fact, it is not your turn to make this decision." Zhou Yuqing cast a sympathetic look at him, "Officer Ling will never allow it.

If you disappear without permission without even giving a decent reason, he will definitely continue to investigate, and maybe he will be able to find out something superficial. After all, our actions have been increasing over the years, and we have not been able to

There will always be some clues that are swept away, and combined with this incident, it is not difficult for him to deduce something. After all, he is a veteran criminal policeman for more than ten years, and his investigation and reasoning skills are good."

"This..." Aaron hesitated again. He was also like this when Zhou Yuqing made the same request to him last time. Of course, he couldn't blame him. No one can make a hasty decision on a major multiple-choice question that can change his life.

, especially when none of the options in front of you are to your liking.

"You don't have much time to think. Yu Wanzhi, Officer Ling and his daughter are leading their men to confront Mr. Liu's people above. Officer Ling probably wants to snatch you back. As for what Yu Wanzhi is planning, I guess

Not even." Lan Tian's urging sounded in his mind.

"What other calculations can there be? The Ninth District suffered heavy losses this time, but the Ninth District is still the Ninth District. Especially after this disaster, there will definitely be a large number of external prosthetic implanters who will move to the Ninth District to avoid persecution.

, now one of the three talkers died unexpectedly and the other was clearly bribed by external forces. Yu Wanzhi, who just used you to kidnap that person to force Mr. Hong to give up his position, must stand up as the representative of the Ninth District and openly confront Mr. Liu.

Confrontation, otherwise he will be nothing in the future." Zhou Yuqing analyzed Yu Wanzhi's motives with a sneer.

"Isn't he afraid of being killed by you?" Aaron asked strangely.

"Get rid of it? Why do we have to get rid of it?" Zhou Yuqing looked at him sideways, "We will not accept this dish in District 9. It's not that we can't accept it, but if we accept it, we will expose ourselves. After the matter is over, this place will become a gathering.

It is a place where everyone is focused on right and wrong, and it is more beneficial to us to have a sensible person who knows a little bit about the inside story take over than to have a few stupid young people who don't know anything."

Aaron didn't say anything. He had never cared much about the exchange of interests. If he cared about such things, it wouldn't be him.

"Hurry up, I need a clear answer." However, no matter how he avoided it, he still needed to answer the question before him.

"You're right. Uncle Ling can't just let me disappear. Rather than letting him get sick and seek medical treatment afterwards, it's better to confess everything to avoid something worse from happening." After thinking for a long time, Aaron made his own decision.
