Chapter 410 Unhappy Killer Whale
Telepathic power and 500,000 horses... What on earth is he talking about?
Shunzo Tomoko didn't understand the meaning of Roland's words at all, and he vaguely guessed that his fate was constantly slipping down, but that was why he couldn't accept it.
The external brain project was everything he had bet his future on and spent decades of hard work to regain. It was his official counterattack and his reliance on climbing to the top of Academy City.
In the Three Body, there are scientists who committed suicide because of the collapse of physics.
Asking him to admit that the external brain was ineffective against Roland was equivalent to asking him to deny everything he had created in the past. For Shunzo Tomoko, this behavior was no different from death.
So, he just looked at Roland with his face that was twisted and deformed without even having time to wipe off the cold sweat, and held his trembling right hand with his left hand, pressing the remote control in his hand again and again.
"Do you think it's useful to do some special protection? At such a close distance, no matter what preparations you make for the external brain, it's useless!"
As if to motivate himself, Shunzo Tomoko declared loudly, as if this method could drive away the panic in his heart.
If the material does not need to be preserved, even Shokuhou Misaki cannot resist the manipulation of the external brain. It is the strongest psychic ability on the scientific side in the world!
That's right, as long as the output power is increased, everything will be fine!
However, Roland, who was pointed at by the remote control, did not even frown, let alone show any abnormality.
"This is really interesting."
Roland was like watching a farce, and he couldn't help laughing.
He has never underestimated the superpowers generated by AIM's position. The existence of the demon god has proved the potential of the magic world, and this path derived from the rules of physics will naturally not be inferior.
The current psychological control has not yet involved the field of soul, but it has reached the extreme in targeting biological organisms.
Although it has no effect on him, this comparison is not fair.
Whether it is the AT force field or the magnetic field force, it is obviously not comparable to an amplified psychological control in terms of magnitude and level.
Even if Roland does nothing and can perfectly control himself, the body of the ultimate creature is destined to make psychological control unable to control the fluids and hormones in his body.
But it is biased to conclude that its potential has reached the extreme.
At least when it comes to enemies who rely on mystery and pursue the path of magic, this ability often works wonders.
Reading memories or confusing others is also a common method in the path of magic. For example, a fledgling magician like Weber can also use hints to manipulate ordinary people.
But these are all spiritual or special results of using magic power, which are not consistent with the ideas of modern science and technology.
If you don't use the type of survival method such as the ghost body, or master the special technology of brain closure, relying only on the protection of the mind or soul, it is almost foreseeable that you will fall into the manipulation of psychological control in the future.
Wait until the era of spirit magic, this situation will be generally reversed.
Roland pondered.
"Generally speaking, after touching my mental barrier, as a living body's instinct, you should resist attacking me again."
While evaluating the behavior of the external brain substitute in a proud tone, he carefully looked at the other party.
The ability involving the mind often carries a certain risk. The boundary between the self and others, as well as the enemy's subconscious counterattack, are all disasters that can cause people to be irreparable if they are not careful.
Therefore, unless they are desperate, people with this ability will have self-warning signs, the most common of which are headaches and dizziness.
After being defeated by an unrivaled force, due to psychological shadows and the instinct of self-protection, when they invade the enemy again, the ability users often have adverse reactions and thus interrupt their actions physiologically.
This is the dilemma faced by the external brain.
But in the face of the burning heat of the head that is about to boil the surroundings, the external brain still obeys the orders of Tongdong Shunzo and outputs with all its strength, which is unreasonable.
After all, the other party's control is just to borrow power from the server as an administrator. How much can be obtained in the end will cause different network speeds due to the level, range, and state of the external brain.
"Or are you also longing for the new reality brought by the rotation of the magnetic field? In short, let's try it."
Roland turned his head and looked at Tongdong Shunzo, who was still stubbornly pressing the remote control next to him, sweating like a machine, and gently raised his finger.
What does he want to do?
Roland's disregard for psychological control, approaching like a stroll, had already accumulated considerable psychological pressure for Dundong Junsan.
But when he found that the other party had no intention of approaching him and just raised his hand in vain.
Dundong Junsan still felt at a loss.
However, this loss did not last even a second, because the fear that followed had quietly replaced it.
The next second.
"Puff--"
"Eh?"
After several seconds, when half of his face was stained with gushing blood and his vision was full of blurred blood, Dundong Junsan realized what had happened.
The man who was looked down upon by him and seemed to be harmless, just moved his fingers and easily tore off most of his body, as easy as tearing off a piece of paper.
The gushing blood seemed to be greedy for the freedom outside, and flew out of his body wantonly.
Looking at his missing left arm and the broken left half of his body, the intense pain surged into Shunzo's brain belatedly.
It hurts... It hurts so much!
But now he no longer has the strength to scream.
"Bang——"
"Okay, the clown in the way is solved."
Roland turned his head calmly while watching Shunzo fall heavily to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Next, let's start the experiment."
"Hmm?"
After finding that Roland's eyes were focused on her, Shokuhou Misaki, who was just raising the corner of her mouth because of letting out a breath of anger, was stunned for a moment.
"Shokuhou-san..."
Roland ignored the girl's puzzled eyes, spread his hands, and showed a gentle smile.
"- Do you want to gain magnetic field power?"
"... What?"
Shokuhou Misaki blinked and was stunned.
"Magnetic field rotation is the superpower I am using."
"But that is your superpower, how can I have it? This is not scientific at all..."
After realizing that Roland did not seem to be joking, Shokuhou Misaki became a little incoherent.
Whether a person with a special ability can have multiple abilities has always been a long-standing topic in Academy City.
But from the current research, people with multiple abilities are characters that only exist in stories.
Because the AIM position is defined as the reality of an individual, this uniqueness is destined to make them only powerful in specific areas.
Even the research on the external brain is to borrow the AIM position of the person with a special ability to achieve the effect of operating ability, which is fundamentally different from obtaining an ability out of thin air.
"Let me put it this way,"
Roland smiled and walked in front of the external brain.
"Although it is easy for me to give power to others, there are indeed many difficulties in terms of magnetic field rotation."
"But difficulty and inability are two different things. Although the conditions are very harsh, the possibility of success still exists."
"Speaking of which, Shokuhou-san, do you know what kind of power magnetic field rotation is?"
He abruptly asked an irrelevant question, and naturally could not get an answer from the girl.
However, Roland continued to talk without caring.
"I define it as a superpower derived from the origin of the universe. This nature makes it much more difficult to develop qualifications than personal reality, but this difficulty cannot change an underlying rule. Its power is in line with the operating logic of the universe."
"That is, the phenomenon caused by the rotation of the magnetic field is not something that the universe cannot cause. In this case, theoretically, even if it cannot reach the grand right way, another kind of top-down means can also touch the branch of this ability."
"-Just like the means used by this Academy City."
When making a contract with the Holy Lord's Soul, Roland once obtained the other party's worn-out Thousand Wisdom.
To be honest, Qi magic is completely different from Type-Moon magic in terms of principle and system.
But this does not prevent Roland from being able to use them at will, even the profound magic of the Age of Gods.
This is not because Roland was a genius who had not yet discovered his talent, but as a demon wizard of black energy, the wisdom of the Holy Lord is no longer an accumulation of experience or memory, but a way of thinking.
Just like deduction, use a higher-dimensional perspective and more subtle details to reverse the principle and usage.
Just like the technology of the Academy City, reverse the technology from the phenomenon caused by superpowers.
"The same is true for magnetic field rotation. It is indeed a superpower, but it can also be reproduced through means such as technology."
"Of course, there is a huge difference in difficulty between using external objects to achieve the same phenomenon and relying on oneself to achieve the same phenomenon."
Roland chuckled.
He is not talking nonsense. In Haihu's worldview, in addition to technology, there are indeed people who rely on Qigong, a power that only has the degree of internal force in the martial arts world, to obtain magnetic field power from top to bottom.
However, that person was able to do it mainly by exerting a part of his power to a very complete state and with the generous support of another magnetic field master.
"But you are different. The AIM position is much higher in terms of the level of expression than other low-quality abilities. What's more, you have this guy."
"Using the power of the same source as the external brain to amplify you will amplify your ability thousands of times. Moreover, the ability of psychological control can be comparable to a certain performance of magnetic field rotation."
"—— Mind-reading power"
Shokuhou Misaki's expression also became serious, and she read out the word that Roland mentioned casually.
The reason why she was able to obtain the title of psychological control is because her ability can imitate almost all mental operations, from mind-reading to brainwashing, personality replacement to memory modification.
"That's right, since the power of this clown when using it is at this level, you will surely be better at it."
Roland said slowly.
"It shouldn't be difficult for me to imitate the power of mind reading by cooperating with you by rotating the magnetic field. By using that level of reverse deduction, I might be able to leave you a seed of power. In that case, I might be able to have a breakthrough opportunity for me now."
"How about it, Shokuhou-san, do you want to try it?"
"...Now that you've said this, do I have any other choice?"
Although the girl was somewhat dissatisfied with always obeying orders, facing the hero who had saved her many times, even if she could be ruthless rationally, her body would not resist the will of the other party.
When she heard that Roland needed her help, the inexplicable joy lingered in her heart.
Shokuhou Misaki sighed and glared at Roland fiercely.
"I will try my best, but if things go wrong, there is nothing I can do about it, so don't blame me."
"If I fail, of course it's my fault, but for me who has already won all the victories," Roland smiled confidently, "I would like to see what kind of disaster it is that can make this word that has been isolated for a long time meet me again."
As he said this, Roland stretched out his hand and gently tapped the surface of the external brain.
Magnetic field rotation·electronic control.
Although he did not understand the operating principle of this biological device, in front of the magnetic field rotation, he easily obtained the authority and took the initiative to send a login invitation to Shokuhou Misaki.
Shokuhou Misaki took a deep breath and reconnected his mind.
At that moment, a huge increase in power surged into her body again, and all restrictions were eliminated in an instant.
With the computing power doubled, even if she could control thousands of people at once, it would not be a problem for her.
Even the third person who was incompatible with her could not resist the current Shokuhou Misaki.
But in front of the power that had begun to invade her memory, this level was still not worth mentioning.
Not enough...
While the other party was domineeringly invading her memory, he used an inexplicable force to increase his computing power again.
Shokuhou Misaki only felt that her thoughts were constantly rising, and countless thoughts and voices were like clouds in the sky, increasing in number and becoming smaller and smaller.
But the pain still did not subside, and the girl could only constantly adjust the frequency of her ability, and get closer to that power that was similar in nature, but seemed to be all-encompassing in the spiritual realm.
Finally, after walking in her mind for an unknown period of time, a strange warm current suddenly pulled the girl back to reality.
——It was like untying some shackles and breaking free from some constraints, and her whole body felt light.
A sense of full power filled every corner of Shokuhou Misaki's body, bringing the illusion that it was inexhaustible.
Shokuhou Misaki tentatively opened her eyes and stared blankly at the electric current lingering on her hands, which was like a living thing.
"Is this... the power of the magnetic field?"
"It's just the degree of the current's push. The power pushed back is often only the seed, which is also one of the drawbacks of not being a right way."
Roland smiled and walked over to pat Shokuhou Misaki's head gently.
"However, it is worthy of praise to be able to break through the boundaries of heaven and earth under such circumstances."
"Then, what should I do?"
Shokuhou Misaki squinted comfortably. Although the raised corners of her mouth had already shown the girl's inner thoughts, she had not ignored the main topic because of this.
"Formulaically speaking, it is to let AIM's position run wild and cooperate with my power, but it is too wasteful for you to do such a thing."
Roland said casually.
While the external brain provides computing power, it will also create a spiritual connection with the host. In the case of runaway, there is a great possibility of backlash against the user.
"I have a better candidate, for example, the clown just now is very good."
"Stupid Shunzo?"
Shokuhou Misaki looked at the corpse next to him with caution.
Half of his body was blown off by Roland's casual blow. After the external brain began to imitate the magnetic field force, he was directly blown into a pile of pieces by the violent force, and it was obvious that he was dead.
No matter how carefully the girl sensed, she could only get the fact that it was a pile of minced meat.
"Even in this state, is he still alive?"
"Technology is indeed unique in some aspects."
Roland's mouth curled up slightly, as if he saw something interesting.
"Physiologically, he is dead, but in terms of existence, he is undoubtedly alive now."
"What does this mean?"
"It's too troublesome to explain, so I'll let you see it in person."
Roland took the initiative to hold the puzzled Shokuhou Misaki and exerted a little force on his feet.
Suddenly, the surrounding floor and walls melted directly and poured down like water.
Shokuhou Misaki exclaimed, and when she reached the ground, she saw where she was.
This floor is used to house experimental animals, but because it is abandoned, there should not be many animals left here.
"Huh?"
After looking around, Shokuhou Misaki made a puzzled sound.
In the direction Roland was staring at, in the huge aquarium separated by transparent glass, a huge creature she had never seen before was swimming peacefully in it.
"Is that... Orca?"
Because she didn't use this word often, after spelling out the katakana of the creature, the girl realized the full appearance of the other party belatedly.
Killer whale.
——It was a killer whale that looked very unhappy.
