Chapter 230 NO.00e5: New Abyss Office

"I never thought that I would finally fulfill my promise to you in this way."

Two hours later, when Jiang Zhou pushed a wheelchair out of the interrogation room of "Cerpolos" wearing a collar, the person standing at the door to greet him was Perse Fanny, the former director of the medical department.

At this moment, Fanny did not turn on the electrostatic generator to give herself a flowing hairstyle like she did before, but simply tied her grass-green hair behind her back.

And what she was wearing had changed from the fashionable British stand-collar jacket in the past to a simple white coat - which made her look less energetic and optimistic than before, but more tired and heavy.

"I'm very sorry about the fact that you were intercepted by Ye Qian on the way and forced to be sent to the third deep dive cabin."

Then, Fanny said apologetically - under the surveillance at the door of the interrogation room, she only dared to say that this was Ye Qian's intention, but she did not dare to mention "Cerpolos"'s instruction.

But this is completely understandable.

Recalling the conversation between Fanny and Liao Qi in the Nord resettlement area, Jiang Zhou thought to himself - there are still expectations for the company itself, and people who try to change the system from within will probably end up in such a predicament. among.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou drove a wheelchair to the other party, shook his head and comforted:

"I can't blame you. I understand that it's not something you can control."

Hearing Jiang Zhou's words, Fanny's face suddenly showed a very complicated expression - for a moment, she thought of someone who had said similar words to her.

Recalling that person's spectacular ending and her current powerless situation, she felt as if she was in another world for a moment.

Quickly stopping her train of thought, Fanny came back to her senses and continued:

"In addition, although this news may not necessarily make you feel better, but...Ye Qian is dead."

At this point, her complexion became slightly better, and she continued:

"It is said that it was because safety standards were not followed in the fourth prison. Unfortunately, his death was too simple. People like him should die..."

Jiang Zhou took the words:

"You should die a thousand and twenty-four times to satisfy your hatred."

After speaking, he nodded with deep understanding.

"Ah...well, right..."

Fanny nodded subconsciously at first, and then a strange look appeared on her face.

"But why one thousand and two four?"

Jiang Zhou did not answer this question, but instead said:

"Where do we go next?"

When Fanny heard this, she immediately entered the state. While getting out of the way, she sent a coordinate to Jiang Zhou:

"The office of the New Abyss in Tartarus is located in the original Ye Qian's office. Ms. Christie reserved it by name. By the way, speaking of..."

Fanny said, coughed slightly and stretched out her hand to Jiang Zhou:

"Mr. Theseus, welcome to join the New Abyss Office."

Jiang Zhou looked helplessly at his arm, which was still undergoing electric shock stimulation, and gave an apologetic smile:

"Excuse me."

"Oh... I'm sorry, I forgot about this."

Fanny said, patted her forehead, and then said:

"Then let's go first. We need to let you regain your mobility first... We'll discuss the specific situation on the way."

Of course, Jiang Zhou finally chose Christie to come up with the third plan: to join the studio codenamed "New Abyss". From now on, I will work for the famous "Abyssaler" Carol Christie.

According to Christie, "New Abyss" still belongs to Pluto Deep Dive in principle, but in fact it is a semi-independent studio. Pluto Deep Diving Company can only be regarded as an investor in this studio and cannot interfere too much in the studio's decision-making.

However, Christie, who has been dormant for decades, has no way to immediately build a team. In addition, after the plan to advance underground into the Nord settlement area and use Liao Qi's relationship to recruit the entire "Icarus Liberation Front" as the initial team failed. Nowadays, she has to make a lot of compromises with Pluto Deep Diving Company.

The most critical point is the personnel issue.

"...In other words, we are all temporarily seconded to the 'New Abyss' by the company. The establishment is still at Pluto Deep Dive, and the company can transfer us back at any time."

Fanny explained to Jiang Zhou in the corridor to the office.

Jiang Zhou heard this and said quickly:

"Don't leave us alone...you are a company employee and have an establishment, but I can only be regarded as a company asset."

As he spoke, he touched the self-destruct collar around his neck and continued:

"Maybe it's still a negative asset."

Although Jiang Zhou joined the New Abyss Studio, according to regulations, he chose the "horse" because he was suspected of being in the super abyssal layer. He is not allowed to undergo prosthetic transformation, is not allowed to leave Tartarus, and needs to wear this self-destruct collar at all times - according to the previous Cerberus director, this thing comes from the dark web technology of Depth 4 . No one can take off this collar except myself, who put it on Jiang Zhou.

"Although Ms. Christie told me not to worry, they didn't torture you when questioning you, did they?"

Looking at the collar on Jiang Zhou's neck, Fanny asked worriedly.

"No, it can even be considered polite."

Jiang Zhou answered.

Perhaps because of Christie's influence, or perhaps because of the deterrence of the existence of "Paradox", Director Kerperos was unexpectedly calm in his interrogation - in the places where there were testimonies of Black Falcon-136 and Chinatsu Sakura, he explained everything truthfully; and in other places, he pushed all the pots on the goddess of the moon named "Paradox", who was suspected to be a subordinate of "Paradox", and Ye Qian who was dead.

As for his experience in the Abyss Dark Web in the past few months. Jiang Zhou insisted that he had slept for so long that he woke up as soon as his eyes closed and opened.

With Jim's "representational topological structure observation" ability, Jiang Zhou could easily perceive that the other party did not believe his nonsense. However, the other party did not insist on asking, nor did he take some extreme means to obtain intelligence.

If we look at it optimistically, maybe the other party wants to befriend the two AIs behind him - after all, one of their directors was exiled to the Abyss Dark Web not long ago.

But if we look at it pessimistically, maybe the other party has noticed something. It's just that for some reason, he still has value, so he didn't act at the moment.

However, there is no doubt that his identity as the "First Deep Diver" has not been exposed.

Otherwise, he would not have a certain degree of freedom now.

In the end, the director of Kerperos also proposed the three plans to him like Christie. However, he put the plan of becoming the "Minos" node at the end - this shows that the top management of Pluto Deep Diver most hopes that he will choose this option.

Of course, Jiang Zhou still chose to join the "New Abyss Prison Office".

After all, there are only two urgent problems for him:

The first is, of course, the radiation sickness in his brain. Although Pluto Deep Diver is likely to provide him with life-saving treatment, it is still a time bomb. The only way he knew to completely cure it was to implant the Pegasus.

Second, it was precisely to completely solve the first problem that he chose to leave his home and float back to the base reality. Once he floated up, he would most likely not be able to go back to the Abyss Dark Web through the deep diving interface to act behind the scenes.

The third solution given by Christie perfectly solved these two points - he could get the data intelligence of the Pegasus and continue to dive into the Abyss Dark Web in the process. And finally, by further strengthening the controllable elements, he could help himself leave the prison of Tartarus.

But having said that, from the perspective of normal people, this choice should be the worst - not only is there no way to continue to adjust and transform, but also needs to continue to dive into the Abyss Dark Web and face a dangerous environment.

If he actively chooses this, he will naturally be further suspected.

But there is no way...

Jiang Zhou thought.

"By the way, I have sent you the information about the Pegasus. Take a good look at it on the way."

Fanny's words once again brought Jiang Zhou back to reality from his thoughts.

"Hmm? Oh... OK, OK..." Jiang Zhou, who was worried, answered perfunctorily. Fanny stopped when she saw this, and then she looked at Jiang Zhou and said: "I suggest that you should take a closer look at these materials. Not to mention that it can completely cure your radiation sickness, helping the company to crack the production technology of "Pegasus" is also one of the conditions for the studio to gain independence." Another biological protein chip, and another "Pegasus"... Jiang Zhou thought after hearing what Fanny said. He couldn't help but think of the information he had obtained before - the "natural adjuster" technology conquered by the Black Feather Gene Editing Studio, the core of which is to master the manufacture of biological protein chips. After the Black Feather Studio was destroyed due to a strange outbreak of cyberpsychosis, most of the remaining technicians in the studio were absorbed by Apollo Biology and Pluto Deep Dive - no, more than that. The resettlement area where the Black Feather Studio headquarters was located happened to have the garrisons of these two companies. Nowadays, Pluto Deep Dive is anxious to crack the technology of "Pegasus", and even poached Perse Finney from Apollo Biology.

In addition, the recent outbreak of strange cyberpsychosis in the Nord resettlement area, and the group of natural adjusters headed by Black Falcon-111, who are ready to move...

Is all this just a coincidence?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou opened the information sent by Finney with some solemnity.

"Brief Report on the Implant "Pegasus" (Monkey Edition Summary)"

Pegasus, biological protein chip, the adjustment and transformation part is the frontal lobe of the brain, the technical level depth 3.

This transformation has two functions, one of which is "zombie switch". The adjuster can use the mandala code to actively activate it. After activation, the self-consciousness will block the control of the body, making the body temporarily enter the state of "zombie man".

In the state of "zombie man", the self-consciousness of the adjuster can only issue simple instructions such as "protect him", "hide", "catch up with him" or "kill everyone" to drive his body to act - unlike the "Descartes Theater" of the Pygmalion path, this kind of control only needs to issue orders, and the adjuster does not need to personally control and coordinate the specific limbs.

It should be noted that there is a cooling period of 2-10 minutes between each self-conscious instruction, depending on the development of the adjuster's prefrontal lobe. This means that once the order is issued, even the adjuster himself cannot stop the body's behavior in a short period of time. For example, when you are surrounded by enemies and issue "kill the people around you", suddenly civilians break into the battlefield, and your body will faithfully and efficiently execute the order.

Although there is no direct evidence, it is believed that this is not a design error or defect, but a deliberate one - when the body is focused on performing a specific task, the self-consciousness of the person is often an interference option. If the self-consciousness can change the order too easily, the adjustment and transformation will never be able to play its due effect.

In short, the "Zombie Switch" sacrifices the flexibility of self-consciousness to obtain an extremely focused state for a specific task - without the interference of self-consciousness, the efficiency of the human body in performing certain tasks is much higher (about 2-15 times, or even higher) than when it is under conscious command.

The second ability, "Pegasus", will enable the adjuster to gain powerful neural repair capabilities. Even if the brain nerve cells are cut into pieces by radiation after the upload scan of the digital personality, Pegasus can accurately release a certain healing factor and slowly sew it back together.

Among the healing factors, please see the appendix for some of the chemical formulas that have been cracked...
