Chapter 239 NO00ee: Cyberpsychosis

Cyberpsychosis No. 23

Some scholars believe that "alien hand syndrome" should be regarded as the earliest cyberpsychosis.

This disease often occurs after people have brain surgery or the brain is infected by a virus. Its clinical manifestation is that one hand of the person is not coordinated with the other hand. The patient will be like in the movie "Dr. Strangelove", one hand will unconsciously sing the opposite tune of the owner. Not only will they slap and hit themselves, but in extreme cases, they will even try to strangle their owner.

The basis for the generation of self-awareness is the brain's order to coordinate the contradictory commands of various parts of the body. Those heterogeneous behaviors that cannot be accepted and rationalized by "self-awareness" should naturally be regarded as a kind of pathology.

And Jim can feel this feeling from the thing not far away.

Yes, that thing. His body may belong to humans, but his behavior is definitely not.

Every part of his body that can move seems to have its own independent thoughts, and is moving frantically-the two eyeballs are constantly rotating at high speed in the eye sockets, and the facial muscles are changing thousands of expressions that humans have had. His hands and feet were dancing like a spirited young man who had just started to learn social dance.

If we reclassify those parts of the body into a system, that is, if we regard the cyber madman as an individual, then...

He was dancing.

After getting this impression, Jim stopped.

At this moment, the distance between the two of them was about 180 meters - this was the closest position Jim dared to get.

After all, he had seen the efficiency of the other party tearing apart the heavy armored autonomous security robot with his hands. If we just look at the performance of the prosthesis, even ten of himself would not be enough for the other party to kill in one minute.

Orpheus is a very extreme upgrade path. Until depth 4, the transformation of this path is equivalent to no strength.

Thinking of this, Jim knelt on one knee. His buttocks rested on the ankle of his left foot, and the elbow of his right hand holding the gun rested on his knee, stabilizing the muzzle of the "persuader".

He aimed at the dancing cyber madman.

"Dancing" is actually the closest thing Jim can imagine. But in fact, his movements are far more complex, agile and precise than dancing.

Including the six limbs behind him, the man's movements have almost never been repeated. Countless behavioral patterns, including but not limited to: samba, ballet, jitterbug, tango, Maori war dance, witch rituals, even home dance, street dance and modern flag language...

Trying to read the other person's mind by analyzing the representation topological structure is like being attacked by DDOS - even the layout of the patch ads on the gambling website is not as chaotic as the other person's behavior pattern.

Jim can't detect any traces of "self-awareness" on the other person. Many malicious programs in the Abyss Dark Web are more like a person than him.

In other words, what he is doing now is more like destroying an object than killing someone.

Jim thought.

Wind speed, gravity drop, blind spot, behavioral pattern...

The plug-in in the brain is almost instinctively calculating this series of data to ensure that Jim can hit without the other party noticing.

The jammer Jim loaded was a low-speed soft-head bullet with subsonic charge, and with the speed the opponent had shown before. If the shooting was noticed, the opponent could even dodge the bullet by yawning, and then rush to Jim's face in less than four seconds to kill him.

However, Jim's "blind sight concealment" ability is currently in effect, so similar problems will not occur for the time being.

At this moment, he is in the opponent's visual blind spot - it is not that the opponent cannot see him, but the opponent's brain will subconsciously think that things in this position will not pose a threat to him, and thus ignore Jim who is actually holding the gun.

In other words, after he fired the first shot, the opponent will naturally notice him. Therefore, he only has two chances to shoot - one at the current distance, and if he misses, there will be another one when the opponent is close to his face.

"Okay..."

After completely locking the opponent, Jim exhaled lightly, and then slowly pushed his index finger to the trigger... But at this time, a sudden change occurred.

In less than a blink of an eye, the other party's "representation" suddenly showed a change - the intention that was originally like iron sand scattered randomly on the sand table, instantly arranged in a direction as if being pulled by a magnet.

The other party had a target, or he received an order.

Jim subconsciously looked in the direction of the other party's intention - that was Donata, who was being held by two men in suits outside a street.

"Let me go! Go back and tell my dad that I won't go back again!"

"Just spare us, Miss."

"If you really let you go, then we will be unlucky... It's not easy to work, please think about us a little."

Although Jim couldn't hear the conversation between them from such a distance, by observing the representation, the conversation he imagined in his mind was almost accurate. Then, through the intention shown by the cyber psychopath - that is, Donata, Jim roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter in an instant.

The bodyguards brought by Anthony lost control?

But in just such a moment, the cyber madman had already rushed towards Donata.

His speed was even more exaggerated than what Jim had seen before.

Without hesitation, Jim pulled the trigger.

"biu~"

Accompanied by the faint and even cute sound of gunshots, Jim fired the first jamming round in the magazine.

With this shot, he predicted the trajectory of the opponent's charge. However, even he couldn't easily calculate all the factors on the new path and hit it in such a short period of time.

The bullet was about three centimeters away and hit a metal trash can on the side of the road almost close to the target.

With a crisp "clang" sound, this shot naturally knocked Jim out of the opponent's "blind sight".

And the moment the cyber madman turned his head to look at him, Jim realized that the other party's intentions were restrained once again.

"You will be next..."

Then Jim heard him say these words to himself.

Being so far apart, it was naturally impossible for Jim to hear the other party talking like this. In fact, the other person didn't even open or close his lips.

This is the words that are translated into the words the other person looks at him through his strengthened mirror neurons. Finally, it is packaged and presented to self-awareness in the form of auditory hallucinations.

If it had been in the past, Jim would not have even thought that this was an illusion, but instead thought that the other party was telepathically communicating with him in the air - until he was shot in the brain and was regarded as a controllable element and After Jiang Zhou connected, he was able to discern the difference between these two "dialogue forms" perceptually.

…

"Huh? When did you tell me that you wanted to come to the A-03 Ecological Zone for a date?"

"When we were in the disinfection room after training yesterday, did you forget?"

"The men's and women's disinfection rooms are separate. We looked at each other through the glass at that time. How did you tell me?"

"I just told you when I was looking at you."

"..."

"Didn't you hear that?"

"Jimmy, we normal people use our mouths and vocal cords to speak."

"Ah? Then...are you still coming?"

"I don't have time. Next time something like this happens, remember to open your mouth and tell me."

"Well, then I'll wait for you for another ten minutes."

"Didn't I say I won't come?!"

"But your laugh tells me you're coming."

…

A series of memories suddenly came to mind, and Jim shook his head.

These are things that have long since passed, and now is not the time to be nostalgic.

How you should deal with this situation now is the most important thing.

With the opponent's speed and reaction, there is no surprise in the sneak attack of "blind sight and concealment". Unless you hold a squad machine gun and a drum magazine to provide fire coverage, you have a slight chance of hitting the opponent.

Otherwise, the opponent's dodging subsonic bullets will be just like playing.

However, he only has two interference bombs in his hand, and the opponent's next target is himself - there is no way he can escape.

What should I do?

Thoughts flowed, and Jim quickly came up with a solution.

He aimed his gun at Donata.
