Chapter 447: Brain in a Vat
The surrounding walls were peeled and the bricks fell on the bed and floor, and then dissipated into small, colorful particles.
The scene was shrouded in darkness, and Chen Ke fell downwards. Under the acceleration of gravity, Chen Ke fell faster and faster, and fell on a plane with a bang.
My body trembled violently, and my chest hit the ground first, and my head hit the ground, but there was no sound, but a strong impact came from the inside, pounding my chest.
Chen Ke groaned, "Puff...", and he vomited blood when his throat heated.
The darkness in front of him slowly dissipated, and Chen Ke couldn't feel his legs and left arms. He lay down, his head tilted to the floor, and there was a pool of purple liquid in front of him.
The floor was white, and the "beep beep" sounds sounded in my ears from various electronic instruments. In my sight, there was a row of gray jars opposite Chen Ke.
These jars are stuck with cables as thick as those of adults' arms, fixed to some iron racks. The cables are dragged to the ground, wrapped in messy clothes, and are stuffed in the corners of the wall, extending to both sides along the base of the wall.
The jar is one person tall, with a circle of LED light strips on each top and bottom. Some jar lights are flashing red, while others are green.
"The return effect has occurred...it has begun to return..."
"Are you sure you start now? You vomited blood..."
When Chen Ke heard a man and a woman talking, he couldn't twist his head and could only maintain a side face to the ground, with his right arm spreading aside.
In front of him, a pair of legs wearing black stockings and red high heels appeared. The woman squatted down, as if she was stroking her face.
"Help us again..." she said, in Chinese.
Chen Ke couldn't see it, there was only the woman's lower body in his field of vision. She was wearing a white scientific research coat, and the black stockings on her knees were a little white because of the bent limbs.
"Prepare for the 742nd restart..." the woman said.
"Gudong...Gudong..." Chen Ke felt that some kind of pulse was hit by his heart, as if someone was beating him in his stomach.
"Uh..." Chen Ke let out an inhuman contempt, as if he was injected with anesthetic, and his whole body was once again pulled into the darkness.
...
I don't know how long it took.
"Chen Ke?"
Someone called his name gently while shaking his shoulders.
"Chen Ke?"
A nausea surged into his chest. As soon as Chen Ke opened his eyes, he supported himself with his left hand to retching for a while. He felt a colic in his stomach, and it stopped for only a moment. Bitter juice oozed out from the walls of his mouth. He reached into his mouth and tried it, with purple blood sticking to his fingers.
"Chen Ke? You don't look great..."
Chen Ke looked up and saw Jacob squatting beside him.
Outside the window, the morning sun in Longton brushed across the Thist River and shot into the windows of abandoned buildings, bringing some warmth to the cold fog.
The children had already woken up, holding hard bread and a little milk in their hands and eating, and Jacob also held half of the bread in his hands, as if he wanted to share it with Chen Ke.
"What time is it now?" Chen Ke held the wall and wanted to stand up, but found that his lower body was unconscious.
His forehead slid cold sweat, this tm... won't sleep all night and become disabled, right?
"At 7:14, I woke up in the morning and found that you were still in my dreams, so I didn't bother you. I went out and got some food back first." Jacob explained.
"I... had a nightmare..." Chen Ke sighed, supported himself with both hands, and tried hard to feel his lower body.
"Oh... I can see that you looked bad in the morning and you were talking in a sleep, which was something I couldn't understand... Chen Ke, are you sure it's okay?" Jacob asked.
"I..." Chen Ke tried again, feeling that his little toe could move, and then his whole left leg. Although it was still very stiff, it was better than not being able to sense it.
"I'm fine, it's too cold, I'm just a little stiff. You go and take care of the children, I'll just take a little slow down..." Chen Ke urged, not wanting Jacob to see his embarrassment.
"The kids can take good care of themselves, and I will arrange for them to track four Edwards today." Jacob smiled.
"Very good. I can help you as soon as possible." Chen Ke nodded.
"Well... you have the best food. Although this bread is not very pleasant to eat, it can at least fill your stomach. I'll help you get some milk..." Jacob stuffed the bread to Chen Ke.
Chen Ke waved his hand, pointed to a child under the diagonal wall, and said, "I'm not hungry, you can give it to older boys. I saw a tall and thin man who seemed quite hungry, probably because he wasn't full."
"That's Dayague. He has always had a lot of appetite. Are you sure you don't eat it?" Jacob asked again.
"I'm fine. You show the children these diamonds, and then..." Chen Ke said as he took out the wallet in his pocket.
"Wait a minute... where is my holy diamond..." Chen Ke was stunned, his wallet was empty.
Jacob looked at Chen Ke, showed a helpless expression, clapped his hands at the children, and shouted, "Jack!"
A child about 6 years old raised his head, looked at Jacob, and quickly put his hand behind him.
"Come here, Jack." Jacob waved.
"Please, Jacob!" Jack sighed.
"Come here, hurry!" Jacob ordered.
The other children were smiling secretly while eating bread.
Jack came to Chen Ke, with his hands behind him, Jacob put his hands on his hips and held his forehead with his hands, and said, "Jack, return the things to this gentleman."
"Can I keep one?" Jack asked sternly.
"No." Jacob shook his head.
"Just one!" Jack bargained.
"Give it all back to him, Jack! He is our guest!" Jacob urged with fists in his hands.
"Okay, okay..." Jack sighed and handed Chen Ke five blue diamonds.
Chen Ke took the diamond and smiled and said, "Your name is Jack?"
"Yes sir." Jack replied shyly.
"This kid always causes me trouble. He stole your wallet and gun from the security station." Jacob shook his head and said, holding his forehead.
Chen Ke held Jack's little hand and smiled, "I don't have anything to give you, but I promise to bring you a souvenir next time I meet."
"Oh! Really? It's better to be some valuable things!" Jack, who was originally depressed, suddenly became energetic, and his cold little hand grabbed Chen Ke's wrist.
"I'll try my best to Jack..." Chen Ke looked at Jacob and Jacob spread his hands, saying that he had no choice.
The perception of the whole body returned to normal. Chen Ke moved his shoulders and knees and stood up with the wall. The brief semi-paralytic just now scared Chen Ke very much.
Somehow, he felt that his physical condition had changed a lot recently. He never had to sleep, but fell asleep last night and returned to his college days.
Chen Ke didn't think it was just a dream... but it was hard to say whether it was a time travel... and the second dream was even more strange. He knew very well that he was there at that time.
What exactly are the researchers who communicate in Chinese? Chen Ke couldn't tell whether that experience was a simple time travel or his own memory...
Chen Ke has a natural resistance to all research facilities and laboratories. He doesn't want to become a human material used by scientific madmen to slice and study.
Thinking of this, Chen Ketun felt a lot of pressure and had a bad premonition...
