Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 567 “Adaptation”

As the three light groups merged into his body, Jiang Baimian felt a little change, but he couldn't say there was any change.

Is this the experience of awakening? She lowered her head habitually and looked at her hands, not noticing any difference.

Suddenly, the starry figure in the center of the square seemed to come alive, retreated to the edge, and put a long distance away from Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian did not panic and watched this scene quietly, as if he had expected it.

She just tried to use the "space illusion" on herself with the help of the mirror effect of the black metal wall.

"This ability will interfere with the target's perception of space, causing him to confuse the front, rear, left, right, up, down, and near. Moreover, it seems to be able to do a certain amount of 'cutting' and 'reconstructing' to create a spatial environment that meets the needs... Exploration in this area You may have to enter the 'Sea of Origin' and pass through one or two islands before you can go deep..." Jiang Baimian was not in a hurry to return to reality, because at this moment, she was most likely undergoing a biological cochlear transplant surgery.

Next, she tried "object agnosia" and "stimulus dysregulation".

It is unknown whether it was the failure of the "mirror" medium to have an effect or the lack of "substantial" objects and stimulation in the "Hall of Stars". Jiang Baimian ultimately failed.

She could only make a preliminary guess based on the name:

"'Object agnosia'" should also be a type of hallucination, which causes the target to misidentify the required object. For example, he wants to shoot with a gun, but he picks up an umbrella. Biubiubiu, for example, it is obviously a poisoned dagger. , but was treated as a delicious cream cake and licked several times...

"'Stimulus dysregulation' sounds like being unable to respond correctly to stimuli... not knowing how to close your eyes when the flashlight shines upon you, not knowing how to avoid when you sense danger?"

While constantly speculating and analyzing, Jiang Baimian gradually felt tired.

Her figure slowly faded and disappeared into the "Hall of Stars".

…………

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Baimian opened his eyes.

Mei Shouan, who had been closely observing her situation, breathed a sigh of relief, came closer, and asked with a smile:

"How about it?"

According to his experience, as long as the experimenter can wake up, the problem will not be serious and can be cured.

Uh, Uncle Mei is too excited and his voice is a bit loud? It doesn't look like it... Jiang Baimian subconsciously raised his hand and touched his ear.

Different from usual, this time there is no metallic texture.

Finally, Jiang Baimian reacted:

Biological cochlear transplant surgery was successful!

Her hearing is back to normal!

At this time, there was a thick layer of "skin" in her ear canal, but it was not completely blocked. At a glance, there was almost nothing abnormal there.

Jiang Baimian relaxed, and while adapting to the current situation, he fumbled to sit up, and responded to Mei Shouan's question with a smile:

"fine.

"Well, I'm awake."

Mei Shouan was stunned for a second, then subconsciously asked:

"Success?"

Jiang Baimian nodded seriously.

Mei Shou'an pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, scratched the hair on the side of his head, and muttered to himself with confusion on his face:

"Could it be true that adding music listening to the last session will significantly increase the success rate of awakening?

"What's the principle?"

Shang Jianyao should like your guess very much... Jiang Baimian cursed and asked tentatively:

"can I go now?"

Although the biological cochlear transplant surgery is not a major one, it is not a casual outpatient service. When Mei Shouan saw Jiang Baimian jumping off the operating bed lightly with almost no obvious impact, she couldn't help but admire:

“Your physical fitness is indeed outstanding, and the effect of genetic modification is very good.

"However, I suggest you rest and observe for another half hour to avoid any accidents."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian moved his head, still feeling a little dizzy.

Immediately afterwards, Mei Shouan asked:

"Which field did you choose?"

"'Broken Mirror'." Jiang Baimian did not hide anything, but she did not say what her abilities and price were.

For an awakened person, these are matters that need to be kept secret.

Mei Shouan understood completely and did not ask further questions. Instead, he said:

"I will give you the relevant information later and try to enter the 'Sea of Origin' as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Mei Shouan couldn't help but add:

"Don't be as messy as your team leader Jian Yao."

Is this something you can learn if you want to? Without years of mental problems, I would never have thought of his operations! Jiang Baimian complained inwardly and nodded obediently:

"Um."

After waiting for half an hour and confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, Jiang Baimian politely said to Mei Shouan:

"Uncle Mei, it's time for me to go."

"Come back for a check-up in three days." Mei Shouan nodded gently.

He sent Jiang Baimian to the door of the C-14 project team.

During this process, Jiang Baimian remembered the price he had paid, and busily added a message to the bioprosthetic auxiliary chip:

"Next, we have to go back to No. 14 on the 647th floor."

In this way, she won't get the wrong floor and room because of being "robust".

After Mei Shouan watched Jiang Baimian leave, he stood at the door and thought about today's experimental process, hoping to draw more useful experiences from it.

He has always been like this, meditating regardless of time and place, and is a research madman.

While reminiscing, Mei Shouan suddenly saw Jiang Baimian coming back.

"What's wrong?" He asked with concern as an elder.

Jiang Baimian's eyes seemed a little dazed, but she quickly returned to normal. She opened her mouth, raised her hand and said:

"Ah...Uncle Mei, I have another question for you."

"What?" Mei Shouan said just ask.

Jiang Baimian turned his eyes slightly and said:

"In the C-14 project, you can participate in the experiment just by applying, right? Employees of any rank can participate, including outsiders?"

"Of course." Mei Shouan said with a smile, "What we have always been most worried about is the insufficient number of volunteers."

"Oh..." Jiang Baimian pointed in a direction, "Then I'm leaving."

"What are you doing there?" Mei Shouan looked confused.

Jiang Baimian laughed "haha":

"Just point it out."

Then she walked in the opposite direction.

…………

647 floors.

After waiting for a while, Shang Jianyao and others entered the training room and started today's training.

At the end of the training, Shang Jianyao drank the water in the cup, wiped his sweat, and went back to the office to pick him up.

He took a few steps and saw Jiang Baimian coming towards him.

"You're late!" Shang Jianyao pointed out.

Jiang Baimian disdainfully replied:

"I have taken leave and will undergo a biological cochlear transplant today."

Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up and he lowered his voice as if he was whispering:

"Is the effect good?"

"Very good!" Jiang Baimian gritted his teeth.

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

Jiang Baimian glanced at the steaming white air on his body, was too lazy to care, nodded and said:

"You continue to exercise."

She immediately crossed Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao didn't say anything. He kept moving forward, returned to the office, and got a glass of warm water.

Soon, the morning exercise ended. Bai Chen and others took a shower and entered room 14.

"The team leader hasn't come yet..." Long Yuehong glanced at it, feeling confused.

Shang Jianyao answered honestly:

"I just met her in the corridor."

"Maybe he went to report to work." Bai Chen guessed.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Baimian appeared at the door.

After looking at the three people in the room, Jiang Baimian raised his hand to wipe his forehead and said with a smile:

"I'm very conscious about exercising."

"Team leader, have you gone to report on your work?" Long Yuehong asked curiously.

Jiang Baimian walked back to the room, his smile became more obvious:

"I'm going to undergo biological cochlear transplant surgery, and also have an awakening experiment."

"Are you awake?" Shang Jianyao grasped the key point immediately.

Jiang Baimian nodded reservedly:

"yes."

"What are the capabilities and costs?" Shang Jianyao did not regard himself as an outsider at all.

Jiang Baimian turned his head and glanced at the door:

"Let's wait until next time we go out."

She didn't want to hide the abilities and costs from the team members, so that they could cooperate effectively and reduce the negative impact, but it was not the right time to talk about it now.

Bai Chen listened quietly and said:

"Then I will apply for biological prosthetic transplantation and genetic modification surgery today."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian nodded.

She said before that "I don't know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident" because she was not sure that she would be able to wake up from the awakening experiment, and once she became a vegetative state, Bai Chen would need to reconsider whether to stay in the "old tune group". If not There is no need to risk genetic modification.

Now, the accident didn't happen.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Long Yuehong opened her mouth but made no sound.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him and said with a smile:

"Don't be anxious. If you think about it for a few more days, you can wait for the results of Xiaobai's surgery to come out before making a decision."

Without waiting for Long Yuehong's response, she turned to ask:

"Is someone on your floor infected with Wuxin Disease again?"

"I ran into it." Long Yuehong breathed out.

"I don't know if it's man-made or natural..." Jiang Baimian obviously thought of the "Life Sacrifice" cult.

After discussing this matter for a while, she turned her wrist to look at the time and said with a smile:

“We’ll talk in the afternoon, let’s eat now.

"My treat, let's celebrate!"

After saying that, she walked out of Room 14 and turned to the other side.

Seeing this, Long Yuehong asked doubtfully:

"Team leader, are you going to try the flavors of small canteens in other areas this time?"

Jiang Baimian said "uh", thought seriously for a moment and said:

"Forget it."
