Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 374 Never Ending
"Protect the data records!"

Almost at the same time, after the initial confusion, a researcher in the testing field yelled.

There are seven researchers in this test site, and they are about to start a new round of clinical trials of the "Glycines" inhibitor to make targeted improvements.

The originally spotless instruments and white walls were suddenly splashed with large patches of crimson spots. The two researchers were still in shock and even stepped back subconsciously.

But among the others, when the shout of "Protect the data records!" rang out, the researcher closest to the instrument quickly moved over to try to protect it.

The remaining three have immediately tried to contact the security department to notify the institute to raise the alert, block the situation, and dispatch security.

[We are very sorry, your current signal is unstable and cannot be connected temporarily——]

Unable to link Unable to link Unable to link Unable to link Unable to link!

Dense and repeated pop-up windows filled my field of vision. Damn it! My network was hacked!

"——Who are you? What is your purpose? What do you want?"

The "Ice Cloud" neural prosthesis quickly adjusted its emotions, allowing a researcher to suppress his fear and step out of the line.

The Council of Knowledge warned that research does not have to resist passion and impulse. People like this researcher who choose to rely on implants to regulate their emotions are rare here.

"We can talk." He ignored the body of his colleague and raised his hand to indicate that he was not a threat. "You are not from the Academic Council, right? Your temperament is very foreign."

"temperament?"

Song Shi held a pistol, a "Pile Driver II" heavy kinetic pistol from [Nanyu Heavy Industry], painted black with a cold and hard texture.

"Isn't this word a little too immaterial? Do you still believe in this?"

The other party decisively seized the topic.

"You seem to have a big misunderstanding of us. Do I have to say that psychic powers are also fake?"

The researcher's mind raced. "Yes, I can explain that the so-called 'temperament' is actually just a complex system composed of a series of factors such as pheromones, dress, appearance, micro-movements, etc., but this does not mean that the concept of 'temperament' does not exist."

You have to delay.

After deciding the direction of the conversation, the researcher racked his brains and tried to calm the other party as much as possible: "In fact, this is just a simple cognitive difference. For example, singularity technology is something completely incomprehensible and incredible to me, but I can't say, 'This technology is not scientific at all!'"

"Think about it again, we usually..."

"You are very sincere." Song Shi praised: "So I will be sincere too. I came here to kill you."

The other party was struck by lightning, and the words he had prepared lingered on his lips. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "It is indeed sincere."

"Let me think about it. You have taken over the institute's network and controlled all the intelligent control equipment. Now people outside the gate know nothing about this place, right? Should I be thankful that a hacker of your level has to suffer this fate?"

Song Shi said "hmm".

"Ahahaha, this is truly a perfect plan for a desperate situation."

"Then, before you kill us, can you tell us the specific reason?" He showed a sad smile: "What did you say? Let's die knowingly, right?"

“The selection and confirmation of drug targets is the first step in drug development, and after the first step, you will widely adopt human trials - skipping the long process and technology and directly entering the clinical trial stage.”

“For you, clinical trials are no longer a simple verification, but have become an efficient research and development method to promote progress and reduce costs.”

“The price paid is the workers who come from workshops or the minors who are at the bottom of compulsory education. It is difficult for them to survive the early and middle stages of clinical trials when the drugs are not yet perfected. Their lives become the lines of drug modification suggestions in the report - it is so meaningful.”

Song Shi tilted his gun slightly: "This is the reason."

Sadness suddenly turned into disbelief, and even more anger. "Just for this?"

Even the neural prosthesis could not suppress its astonishing anger. The other party raised his voice: "You are insulting our efforts! Insulting their sacrifices!"

"What do you think this is? A cult sacrifice? On one side are the foolish and ghostly cultists, and on the other side are the poor victims captured, and then you make a bloody sacrifice?"

"——Is this your excuse?"

Ai Lu fiddled with his five fingers, and three sharp blades emerged from between his fingers: "Is this the reason why you killed them?"

"You! You're still talking about 'killing'! They were willing to sacrifice themselves! What an insult! What a blasphemy!"

The researcher was stunned for a moment, then became furious. Before his anger completely exploded, he asked one last question: "Huh - Huh -"

He took a deep breath, as if squeezing out a seal from his lungs: "Let me confirm again, so you came here out of so-called morality, empathy and other factors, to avenge them on our behalf?"

Song Shi did not comment.

Ai Lu uttered two words: "Evil."

"you."

The other party was silent for a long time before speaking again.

Those smiles, expressions of weakness and anger were all gone.

The man's expression was as cold as frost, and he said coldly.

"You are even more despicable than I thought. No matter how vicious a robber is, it is difficult for him to kill more than two dozen victims in his lifetime. However, a person who spreads rumors and promotes crazy ideas has the opportunity to set off a wave that sweeps thousands of people."

"You are such dissidents. When others are doing everything they can to move forward into the future, you want to drag them down with you into the mire of the present."

"——Then come on, do it."

The other party showed a sarcastic smile, opened his hands, and exposed his chest: "Pull the trigger, aren't you familiar with it? Kill and take the lives of others."

Behind him, except for one person who was still shivering, the other researchers looked at each other.

"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

A man came up.

"You can kill me, but you can't kill knowledge and reason."

Someone else came forward.

"I can fall here, no one can't die, but more of us will stand up."

The person who had finished tidying up the leading corner stood solemnly.

"At this moment, you are above because of violence, but a hundred years later, we will become immortal monuments, and you will be just an insignificant footnote under this monument."

They stood at the front of the test site with their arms outstretched, and beside each other, like protective wings, blocking the view of uninvited guests who might peek inside.

It also blocked the many instruments and data.

And finally, the anger, solemnity, and sadness.
All the sounds merge into a unified collection.

"Everything is for the future."
