Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

What the hell is this "talent"? It's because you're the one who eats endlessly, and even when you're full, you transform your energy into flames to empty your stomach and continue eating. Is that why I've become a doctor after years of illness? Who can't remember the process after being eaten a thousand times?

However, Jiang Yan's complaints were meaningless to Tingyun, the "gourmet". He himself had already given up trying to stop her from eating so badly. But as he cooked, Jiang Yan discovered something strange:

Why is it that after Ester's intense emotions were burned out, there was only so much, while when she was being eaten, the whole house was often filled with indigestible Sui Yang fire, and the scene was a mess?

"I don't know either, but Xiao Jiang, you're the best!"

Ting Yun, who happily devoured the power Jiang Yan had burned like popcorn and melon seeds, did not give him any answer. Instead, after sensing something, he said in a subtle tone:

"Compared to all this, I advise you to disconnect as soon as possible!"

"???"

Although he didn't understand why Tingyun said that, Jiang Yan knew that his sister was not someone who spoke without purpose, so he quickly said to Ester:

"Let's stop here for today. Hinkle also said that connecting for too long will have side effects."

"Look a little longer! Look a little longer!"

Facing the "truth" that all researchers dream of, just looking at it, countless inspirations and enlightenments rushed out of the water of consciousness in the brain like a school of fish waiting to be fed. For a researcher, this feeling is simply better than all the enjoyment in the world. It made Ester completely unable to stop. She even came over without hesitation, took Jiang Yan's hand with both hands and began to shake it, acting like an ordinary girl.

Almost all the girls Jiang Yan knew since childhood were cheerful and fighting types. Even Bai Lu could easily knock an ordinary person down with one blow of her tail. It was rare for him to meet a girl who was the same type of spoiled girl as his sister. If they were not wearing strange helmets that greatly reduced the power of this move, Jiang Yan almost couldn't stand it and compromised.

Fortunately, just then, the timer sounded, signaling the end of the experiment. Ignoring Estelle's reluctance, Schinkel immediately shut down the inter-world communication device, removed their helmets, and handed each a pill and a glass of water.

"Take this. It's a medicine that will quickly remove the lasting effects of the Jacket Fruit. After a ten-minute rest, we'll begin the experiment summary meeting."

Even though the connection was broken, Jiang Yan was still constantly attacked by emotions such as reluctance, regret, excitement, aftertaste, and a faint attachment. He quickly grabbed the pills and swallowed them directly with water, and finally calmed down his emotions.

Wait, attachment?

Not until he calmed down did Jiang Yan realize that there was something that shouldn't have existed in the emotions he had just received, and he looked at Ester in surprise.

Feeling Jiang Yan's gaze, Esther realized that her sudden feelings had been exposed and quickly lowered her head with a blush. Later, after realizing that this was purely a cover-up, she had no choice but to stretch out her hands to push Jiang Yan's face:

"Turn away and don't look!"

"This must be a side effect of the Jacket Fruit. It will disappear in a moment, yeah, for sure!"

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Yan's reaction, and after seeing that he was not angry, he turned his head away, as if all the influence had disappeared.

However, Jiang Yan was dumbfounded at this moment. The emotions in the connection could not be fake. Thinking back to Ting Yun's advice to him to disconnect just now, how could Jiang Yan not understand that there was a problem with the connection just now? He hurriedly asked:

"Sister? What's going on? What happened? Ester and I were just good friends before, weren't we?"

"That's not attachment, but appetite." Tingyun smiled gloatingly and threw out some shocking news.

"Appetite? What appetite? She is not from the Sui Yang clan, why would she eat me?" Jiang Yan was completely dumbfounded.

"The Suiyang Clan feeds on emotions, but they're not the only ones who can eat emotions. Isn't human love, family, and friendship also a form of feeding on emotions?"

"But what does this have to do with her current mental state?" Jiang Yan didn't understand what Tingyun said at all.

"Who told you to be so delicious, Xiao Jiang? If it were just a normal emotional exchange, a tiny interaction of power would at most make others feel more comfortable with you. But the emotional connection you just had lasted so long, it was enough to leave a deep impression on that little girl's soul, making her instinctively desire more of your power!"

As Tingyun spoke, he laughed uncontrollably in the spiritual world connected between the two of them.

He is worthy of being his younger brother. Everyone laughs at Sui Yang, and everyone is Sui Yang. With this example, who would dare to laugh at the Sui Yang clan's greed for emotional power?

If you haven't tasted good food, you are just being tough. But after eating it, aren't we all the same?

However, after hearing Tingyun's detailed explanation, Jiang Yan wasn't so happy. Anyone wouldn't be happy after learning that their friend coveted their body, oh no, their power! Just imagining Ester transforming into Sui Yang and wanting to bite him, Jiang Yan immediately became anxious:

"Stop laughing! Is this funny? What is this? Mental pollution? How can it be treated?"

"Treatment?" Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Ting Yun laughed even harder. After a long while, he recovered and responded with a smile:

"For example, Xiao Jiang, if you eat an apple one day and find it incredibly delicious, and you crave it even when you can't get it, even running a long way to buy one, would you consider this emotion mental pollution and need treatment? Delicious things are delicious; that's an unchangeable fact."

"Treatment? Just feed her and she'll be fine. I'm a little reluctant, but you can give her some."

If any other Suiyang clan member had wanted to eat Jiang Yan, Tingyun would have completely pulverized them into tiny flaming fragments as a dessert. But humans... how much could they eat even if they tried? Compared to the delicious emotions he created when they ate his own brother, this small appetite was a complete win!

Although Tingyun's words made sense, Jiang Yan felt sick at the mere mention of "feed." His mind flashed back to how Tingyun, clearly full, wasted energy trying to empty his stomach and continue eating. His distress radar started blaring.

This kind of behavior wouldn't open up some terrifying Pandora's box...

However, Ting Yun, who was waiting to gain new emotions, did not intend to give Jiang Yan any chance to think of other solutions, and directly launched an additional attack:

"Humans don't discern emotions as clearly as I do. Xiao Jiang, if you don't satisfy that little girl's desire, do you think she'll mix it with her existing affection and interpret it as true attachment or love?"

The possibility described by Tingyun instantly frightened Jiang Yan. Even though he had no intention of accepting any feelings before he grew tired of power, he did not want to be blinded by love that was misunderstood as "appetite". Whether he refused or explained, it would be a huge hassle.

"I'll feed you, can't I?"

Amid Tingyun's laughter, Jiang Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the experiment summary meeting while starting to think of a solution.

It's simple to feed the power. Just cut out a small ball of non-lethal power and throw it over like the fire of the sun. But what can I say?

You can't just say "You don't like me at all, you just want my body, and in your case you just need to be fed, you just need to be fed", it would be strange if you don't get slapped in the face.

This kind of truth is much harder to tell than a lie.

Before Jiang Yan could come up with a solution, he was forcibly pushed out of the laboratory by Estelle:

"The first part of the experiment summary meeting involves some of my privacy. Before I inform you, you are not allowed to come in, let alone eavesdrop!" Ester emphasized with a flushed face.

After saying that, Estelle closed the door of the laboratory and said to Mrs. Hinkle shyly:

"Some unexpected things happened during this experiment. Some emotions that shouldn't have existed suddenly appeared in my mind..."

As a young girl, Ester certainly didn't want to reveal her inexplicable attachment to Jiang Yan. What kind of shameful play was this!

But when she thought that if she didn't mention it, the next person who would be eager to see the Key of Knowledge would be Mrs. Schinkel, a highly respected senior, and then all the founding researchers would definitely come to see it, Esther, who didn't want to cause a sensation in the space station, had to give up her face for the time being. With a flushed face, she described to Mrs. Schinkel and the experimenters how she had developed a liking for Jiang Yan during the experiment, and the degree of her current liking for him, starting an "experimental summary" with an explosive show effect.

Ester's self-explosive statement caused an uproar in the entire World Science Laboratory.

Is this something I can listen to for free? This is too awesome, webmaster!

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Why can I hear the webmaster talk about his love life at the experiment summary meeting?

Is this the effect of the experiment? Isn't this love at first sight, no, love over time? We won't laugh at you, so why blame the experiment?

After the experiment is over, I must be the first to post it anonymously on the forum! If I don't eat this big melon, I will regret it for a lifetime!

Feeling all these subtle, unabashed, blazing gazes, Ester almost fainted on the spot. But then she realized that if she didn't explain herself clearly, the station would become a vast, unfettered harem of her friend, a laughingstock of all genders, the universe's greatest laughingstock. So, she could only silently repeat, "I'm the station commander, I'm a researcher, I'm an emotionless omnic," before finally recounting the experiment that would devastate the entire station and potentially be passed down through the ages.

This professionalism, unsurprisingly, earned thunderous applause from both inside and outside the lab. The only person who didn't applaud was Mrs. Hinkle, who was conducting the experiment. She was completely terrified by Ester's revelations.

Unlike Ester, who is unmarried and has no boyfriend, Ester is married, in her sixties, and has a nephew Adler working on the space station. If she develops an attachment to a young man under the age of twenty, wouldn't that be worse than death?

At this moment, she was extremely thankful that she had not taken the initiative to be the first to test for safety reasons. She was only one step away from the social demise of the entire universe. She breathed a sigh of relief and said in a trembling voice:

"Please invite Mr. Jiang Yan in. We must collect experimental data more comprehensively and carefully before deciding whether to continue this experiment."

Oops, I'm being haunted by a genius! : Chapter 159 Dare to think and dare to act

The confused Jiang Yan just walked in and received the attention of the whole audience. It was like a spotlight, shining on him from the moment he entered the door until he sat down, and no one moved away.

This feeling, as if becoming the focus of a convex lens, made Jiang Yan almost unable to move.

What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the experimental data?

Jiang Yan was just about to ask Ester beside him, but he found that she was bent over with her head lowered, covering her face with her hands, looking completely autistic.

What's going on? Is scientific research so scary?

A few minutes later, Jiang Yan understood the reason. Under a series of emotional questioning in the name of "experimental summary", he was so embarrassed that he wanted to stomp his feet hard to burn a big hole in the floor and then jump in and escape directly downstairs.

So, is this how you questioned Estelle? Are you a research project or a dating show? You even didn't spare the site manager? Are you that brave?

After reluctantly answering a few questions, Jiang Yan finally couldn't stand it anymore as the questions became more and more outrageous:

"Can I not answer this question?"

"Of course you can, but please take a look at the webmaster's experimental summary report. In the premise that the data is incomplete, we can only expand the scale of the experiment and rely on a sufficient number of samples to make up for the missing parts of the data," Sinkel said calmly, and sent the text version of Estelle's experimental summary through the portable terminal.

Jiang Yan just took a look and was completely shocked by Esther's scientific research spirit, which was willing to sacrifice herself to ensure the authenticity of the experimental data.

No, buddy, no, sis, how many credit points does a webmaster earn per month? Is it worth your hard work?

Feeling Jiang Yan's gaze, Ester, who also wanted to burn a hole in the floor with a laser cannon and escape, lowered her head even lower. She just stretched out her foot and gently touched Jiang Yan's leg, begging with full intent:

It's already socially dead enough, please, don't let the experiment expand!

Jiang Yan accurately grasped what Esther meant, because he was almost embarrassed to death.

At least the scale of the experiment is currently limited to Schinkel's laboratory. If it is expanded further, I'm afraid the entire space station will have to start reciting Ester's experimental summary in full!

"Mrs. Hinkle, I can continue to cooperate with the experiment, but please keep the summary report of this experiment confidential and prohibit non-experimental personnel from viewing it. After all, when it comes to the power of "intellect," we cannot ask any seeker of knowledge to resist this power and refrain from conducting dangerous experiments in private."

After experiencing countless social deaths with Yalilo No. 6 and Luofu, Jiang Yan has become a doctor through experience and has accumulated some "successful experiences".

Rumors are not scary, real evidence is. Therefore, the first step to fight against social death is to be a power dog and ban the entire network!

After hearing Jiang Yan's high-sounding statement, Ester raised her head instantly, with a look on her face full of "There is such a thing?" and soon she stared at Sinkel pitifully with begging eyes.

Under the leadership of Black Tower, the boss who doesn't care about what they do, the Black Tower Space Station is not a strict organization. Most of the ratings and standards of the experiments are done by each department themselves. If Ester, who has never used the power of the station chief to impose any bans, deliberately encrypts it herself this time, it will be equivalent to confirming the "rumor", so this matter can only be done by Sinkel, the person in charge of this experiment.

"Of course not. Everyone, please follow the World Science Dangerous Biological Experimentation Standards. Immediately shut down your portable terminals and switch your recording devices to confidential experiment mode. Prohibit any data from flowing outside the laboratory."

As a department that frequently interacts with and experiments with a variety of exotic creatures, the Department of World Species naturally has a set of strict management regulations. As the department's head, Hinkle possesses far greater deterrent power than Ester, who rarely intervenes in the department's practical affairs. With one command, the researchers immediately fell silent, deleting all recorded information and the anonymous reports they had prepared to send upon leaving the lab.

However, no matter how secure and reliable this method of blocking was, it couldn't silence everyone. Both Jiang Yan and Ester knew that by today, the gossip would be all over the station. But at least the "Ester Experiment Summary Report" and the "Jiang Yan Experiment Summary Report" wouldn't become universally memorized station classics, which ultimately gave them both a sigh of relief.

So under the expectant eyes of the crowd, Jiang Yan was forced to start the social death segment. He stood on the stage obediently and gave his emotional changes at that time according to the timeline of emotional fluctuations in Esther's experimental report... Although Jiang Yan's emotions did not change, this kind of shameful play with the timeline in minutes and the frequent comparison of "what was it like before and what is it like now" - who can stand it?

Before Jiang Yan's face turned completely red, Esther, who was once again socially frustrated from the audience's perspective, had completely broken down. Without caring about the girl's face, she ran away in the name of "I'm going to the bathroom", leaving Jiang Yan to continue to be tortured by the gaze. Until everyone cooperated with the readings of the world communication device and confirmed that this guy really had no emotional fluctuations during the experiment, they signaled Jiang Yan disappointedly to end this boring summary report and called back the blushing Esther.

That's it? I'm already halfway through eating this melon and you're telling me this?

So it turns out that only our webmaster is interested in you? What kind of person are you? How dare you make the webmaster fall in love with you?

What's so great about this guy? I can't see it!

It was the result of an experiment, it had to be the result of an experiment! How could a lady like the webmaster be interested in this ordinary-looking guy?

The sharp contrast between the two reports quickly made everyone look at Jiang Yan with much more dissatisfaction.

No one thought this guy was innocent. After all, ever since he had an intimate lunch with the stationmaster as soon as he arrived at the space station, the gossipers in the space station had dug up all his public information and even specially classified and integrated it.

The Dragon Lord of Xianzhou, the Queen of Yaliluo No. 45, the Director of Interstellar Peace Company P... Where did this Interstellar Sea King come from? Does he only play high-level games?

This kind of person has bad intentions towards the webmaster, hmm...does it seem like the webmaster is trying to elevate his status? No, webmaster, don't be fooled!

Therefore, in the subsequent analysis of brain wave and energy fluctuation spectrum data, the researchers exerted their utmost effort, even borrowing equipment and secret instruments from the Secret Scroll Department for assistance. Finally, they successfully captured a trace of abnormal energy fluctuations and confidently came to the conclusion:

"It's not a romantic relationship at all. It's just a side effect of the residual emotions left when the mind is connected and transmitting them!"

"Oh, that's great!"

After hearing this conclusion, Ester patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

What girl would want a relationship to begin with a violent self-destruction that would become a laughing stock in the interstellar world? Is she even going to be able to see people?

It turned out to be a remnant... Great! Estella secretly glanced at Jiang Yan, then quickly turned her head away with a slightly blushing face.

Well, it should be a short time. I will be fine in ten or eight days. That’s right!

After hearing this "conclusion", Jiang Yan had a much higher opinion of the technical capabilities of the space station.

It is quite impressive that we can draw a rough but correct conclusion just by using instruments.

Jiang Yan completely understood their inability to offer a solution. Even the Suiyang Clan, with their specialized expertise, couldn't handle such irreversible changes, so how could these tech-savvy individuals possibly offer a solution?

So, with sufficient data and two data summary reports as support, Schinkel quickly made a decision:

"Given the stationmaster's current condition, I declare this experiment over. I will determine the start time and method of the next experiment based on how the stationmaster's residual emotions subside."

"Master Station Master, for the next period of time, please come here every day to cooperate with us in conducting a test."

"As for the other experiment participants, I know what you want to say and what you want to do. Please remember the management regulations of the Jiezhongke Science. I will not interfere with anything that falls within the prescribed scope. However, if I hear anything I shouldn't hear, I will naturally make him pay a sufficient price without the stationmaster having to do anything. Do you understand?"

He glanced sternly at the clerks who were eager to gossip. Wherever his eyes fell, several clerks who were usually cheerful immediately shrank their necks in fear.

After helping Estelle, Sinkel waved his hand:

"I declare that the experiment is over and everyone can leave."

After hearing this, Ester, who didn't want to be tortured by strange gazes again, immediately stood up and left the laboratory in a panic. Only after escaping back to her office did she sit heavily on the large office chair, lean back, bury her face in her favorite pillow doll, and let out a long sigh.

It turns out to be fake...

For some reason, Esther did not feel relieved at this moment. Instead, a depressed mood slowly emerged.

What's going on? What's wrong with me?
