Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 368: Exposition of the Truth
Song Shi leaned against the iron railing and watched this one-sided questioning.

Lapis Lazuli kept the bracelet on and didn't reveal herself. In fact, there were three invaders tonight.

"Why do you do this to them?"

Xu He was stunned for a moment, as if he had never expected the other party to ask such a question.

In surprise, he even subconsciously turned his head and looked at the employees on the first floor who were still suppressed by the gravity field.

The latter was touched by the sight and immediately roared.

"The first rule is to gather together!"

"The second rule is to gather together!"

"The third rule, absolutely no problem!"

"This is an experiment on the transformation of thought based on plasticity." Xu He finally organized his words: "Didn't you see? I hope to build a micro-social model to verify the ease with which ordinary people's thoughts can transform."

"That's why." Ai Lu interrupted.

"Just because of this?"

Xu He repeated it, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "Watch your words."

"Yes, I admit that this topic is not difficult and the idea is not new, but it is still valuable!" Xu He said solemnly: "Every ten years, no, even every year, the group's thoughts will change. This may have an impact on mediocre people. I did this verification experiment to determine whether there is such an impact at this moment."

"Yes, at the moment, these people's thoughts can still be easily reshaped and transformed, which means that they are still as stupid as before and have not undergone any changes that can be called reforms."

Xu He raised his hand and tried to defend himself: "But you can't judge my experiment as worthless just because of this! Proving that 'there is no effect' is itself a valuable conclusion! Our research also relies on countless seemingly insignificant experiments like this, pushing forward bit by bit!"

"You can't say that you are full after eating the third bowl of rice and that the first two bowls of rice were useless."

"enough!"

Ai Lu interrupted again.

His voice rose unusually, and after a second, it returned to normal.

"You set up a closed environment, brainwash them day after day, sell them deliberately catered ideas and words, change their cognition, and repeatedly reinforce it."

Ai Lu held the short blade in his hand and said, "How could they not be deceived? And you instigated the others to kill the three employees who were not deceived."

"How can you not be deceived?"

At this moment, Xu He didn't care at all about the short blades that were so close to him.

He just repeated it slowly.

"You, me, and your accomplice." Xu He looked at the other party in surprise. "If they were replaced by us, how could their thoughts change because of these things? No, even if the experiment time is extended to one or two months, it is absolutely impossible."

"As for the three research samples whose thoughts have not changed, the differences between individuals and groups should be viewed dialectically."

Xu He explained: "Just like a nest of Busse's black ants, you can't say that a genetically mutated, albinos individual appears in it, and that Busse's black ants are a white ant species."

"Moreover, according to the theory of group change, I am more inclined to believe that this is just because the total number of samples is too small."

Xu He entered the state, gesturing attentively, "Thirty research samples - three without thought transformation, it seems that the ratio is one tenth? But I don't think so. If the number of samples is expanded to three hundred, three thousand, thirty thousand, or three hundred thousand, the ratio will definitely decrease."

"You see, there is a power of change or conformity in a group. You see, this is another powerful proof that mediocre people are prone to change of thought."

"No, you're wrong."

Xu He was interrupted and was stunned for a moment: "Uh, what did I do wrong? There is no problem with my variable control."

"You've made so many mistakes, but I don't want to talk about them anymore."

Ai Lu stood up slowly.

He looked down at the man and said, "You are an evildoer, I will kill you."

"There is no peace in the three realms, the world is like a burning house." Ai Lu's expression showed no sadness or joy: "When evil rises and good falls, they must be killed and punished." The spiritual power from the second ring [Consensus] allowed the man to clearly feel the devout and firm will of the other party when he said this.

Xu He finally realized what the other party was thinking.

"You're not technical spies? Hahahaha!"

Xu He suddenly stopped talking nonstop and fell back into reality.

"So this is what you want to talk about, hahahaha, morality? Ethics? Do you want me to add some humanitarianism to you? Or teach you how to curb the abuse of technology?"

The man laughed so hard that tears came down his face. He raised his index finger and pointed at the two people in front of him: "Hahaha! The Science Ethics Committee really should give you an award."

"I think you don't even think that scientific research can produce results by just adding resources to the numerical limit and gathering some people, right?"

He shook his head and sneered, "Even if we exhaust all resources and let the most talented researchers use them, there is only a slight hope of getting results."

"Everything is for the future - you don't understand the meaning of this sentence at all!"

"Only reason, knowledge, and technology can lead the world to a promising future! Instead of a bunch of guys wallowing in this quagmire like now!"

"So, this is your reason?"

Song Shi leaned against the iron railing and looked at the man.

"Using other people as consumables, just to pursue vague possibilities?"

"Such a righteous and upright way." Ai Lu slowly turned the short blade and stared at the other party: "Then why don't you go up yourself?"

Xu He met the gaze.

At this moment, he revealed a mocking smile from the bottom of his heart: "It's just that it's not my turn yet."

"There's no one I'm waiting for—"

"——Not ready to sacrifice yourself!"

next moment.

Five short blades simultaneously cut off the neck, pierced the heart, pierced the kidneys, shattered the brain-computer interface, and severed the spine, ending the man's life.

Amidst the splattering blood plasma and coolant, Xu He fell heavily in the aisle.

Almost at the same time, Song Shi glanced over and saw flames suddenly appear, along with the sticky liquid mixture, burning Xu He's body to ashes.

Song Shi snapped his fingers, and the flames enveloped all the ashes and stuffed them into the lapis lazuli storage compartment.

Spotless.

"Ai Lu."

Ai Lu retracted the short blade and turned his head.

"Do you know how a researcher from Emerald Pharmaceuticals or any other giant company would answer your question just now?"

"I don't know." Ai Lu said, "Please tell me."

"He would say: Why should I go?"

Ai Lu was startled.

"so."

Song Shi smiled.

"This is the Council of Knowledge."
