From the end of the world

Chapter 189 Riot Plan 2
The girl Lu Chan told her plan.

Her strategy can be divided into two parts:

First, sneak into the cells where all the imprisoned demon hunters are located and persuade them to participate in his riot plan.

I will provide the key to open the cell. If she encounters a researcher who is conducting an experiment when entering the cell, the young girl Lu Chan will use quick hypnosis to make him forget that she has been there. If the other party is as determined as the young researcher, she will make him fall into a coma.

This practice will be exposed over time, so we must act quickly.

Secondly, I put my "fireflies" into the magic seal locks of the demon hunters and the keyholes of their cells. At the beginning of the riot plan, I remotely control the "fireflies" to turn them into a key shape and free all the demon hunters at once.

Although this process requires me to control more than a hundred "fireflies" at the same time, it is not actually necessary to do it at the same time. I can release them in groups of ten. And because I don't need to control all the "fireflies" to perform different actions at the same time, it is not a big problem even if I am forced to control them at the same time.

Just like it would be awkward and difficult for an ordinary person to manipulate his left and right hands to perform different movements at the same time, but easy to do the opposite, making all fireflies perform the same movement at the same time is relatively friendly to my conscious processing ability.

In addition, this infiltration operation was carried out by the young girl Lu Chan alone outside. The reason was simple. If she was discovered by Chen Long and the guards during the execution, the consequences would be relatively minor if she was the only one exposed. Instead, I would remotely control the "Firefly" to accompany her and provide support, and be responsible for route detection and unlocking.

Due to the confidentiality of the experimental project, only the supervisor's office has the equipment to monitor all the internal conditions of the laboratory. Once Dr. Silver Mask returns to the supervisor's office, I will need to contact the girl Lu Chan through "Firefly" to temporarily suspend the operation.

As for where the Silver Mask Doctor is now, according to the girl Lu Chan's understanding, he has his own exclusive laboratory in the base. Most of the time he is not in the director's office, but in the exclusive laboratory to conduct his own research.

After the riot plan begins, I will use the "fireflies" placed in various places in the base to observe the process of Chen Long's battle. At the same time, the girl Lu Chan will also use the spell of synchronizing consciousness information to connect with me, using my "firefly" perspective and combining her own detection ability to analyze Chen Long's mana fluctuations and figure out why the other party can use the power of the Great Perfection level inside the base.

In addition, she also added a lot of details. The plan itself is quite concise, but the difficulties are the many micro issues in the early stage of implementation. I also think that I am not good at so many delicate things. After listening to her plan, I was deeply impressed by her ability to weave such a complete and practical plan in a short time.

I have always had a feeling that Lu Chan (whether Lu Youxun or young Lu Chan) is much more thoughtful than Zhu Shi and I. In the past, I just thought that this temperament came from his deep scheming and identity as an intelligence worker, but after seeing the performance of young Lu Chan, I began to feel that this is probably more because the other party has a very good brain.

Unfortunately, although I don't hate Lu Youxun, I find it hard to trust him from the bottom of my heart. This has to do with whether I know him well or not. In other words, the more I know about his past, the harder it is for me to trust him now.

But Zhu Shi is different. Until now, it is hard for me to say that I understand Zhu Shi, but I always can't help but regard him as someone I can trust.

"Well, I should set off soon," said the young girl Lu Chan. "Please wait patiently here until I finish. You can continue to investigate the files and information over there, or you can report the situation here to your friends in the real world."

"Report the situation? Do you mean that you want me to go back to the real world first?" I wondered. "The signal connection between the base and the real world is unstable. I can't control the 'fireflies' in the base from the real world."

"No, you should be able to connect to the real world in the base." She said, "The signal connection is unstable, you can strengthen the connection. Your flame is your spirit, isn't it? Since your flame can be used to strengthen your body, it should also be able to strengthen your connection with the outside world."

Is there another way? When I thought about it carefully, it actually seemed to work.

"Thank you. I will try to contact the outside world later," I said.

She nodded, but did not move immediately. Instead, she stood there with a hesitant look on her face.

After a moment, she said, "...Also, you have to be careful of Lu Chan outside."

"Why?" I was surprised. "Are you trying to say that he is plotting something?"

"No, I don't know." She said, "I told you before, I can only synchronize bits and pieces of the memories of Lu Chan outside. The more secrets he regards as memories, the more difficult it is for me to synchronize them.

"Now his heart is full of secrets that he cannot tell others. Perhaps there really is a so-called conspiracy, for example, he once wanted to mislead you about the impression of transcendence. "I would not say that he has become a villain who does whatever it takes - on the contrary, although he has abandoned my dream, he has not completely abandoned his conscience. It's just that this conscience used to be directed towards everyone, but now it is only directed towards demon hunters, especially those who are facing him.

"The evidence is that in the past, he knew that the monster incident was likely related to the Humanitarian Department, but he was still worried about your and Zhu Shi's safety and asked you not to try to capture the monster alive. This is because he still cares about the lives of the people he knows. Even if he wants revenge, he doesn't want to involve you in his hatred.

"But when the new righteousness in his heart conflicts with his own conscience, he will not hesitate to kill his conscience. And this is where you need to be most wary of him."

"Thank you for your reminder, but..." I thought for a moment and asked, "Does this world really have a righteous cause that requires the loss of one's conscience?"

"I believe not."

After saying that, she took my "Firefly" and left the supervisor's office.
-
While paying attention to the movements of the young girl Lu Chan, I was also studying the connection between my body and that of the Luoshan office.

Then, I took out the Outer Path Impermanence Sword, summoned a ball of fire, and then tried to restore the fire to spirit to strengthen the signal connection that exists on the spiritual level.

Just like using fire to heal one's soul wounds in the past, the current practice of using fire to strengthen the connection of spiritual signals is also quite humorous, like "taking money from Peter to pay Paul". However, I increasingly feel that this practice is not as funny as it sounds. "Taking money from Peter to pay Paul" is a criticism based on the law of conservation of matter, but does consciousness really need to obey the laws of the material world?
When using superpowers, I often feel that perhaps consciousness is a perpetual motion machine in disguise. Even if consciousness itself is not eternal, at least during its existence, it seems that it can output its power without limit, and the only real limit is the output power.

In rare cases, I feel that my consciousness is slightly tired due to long-term use of superpowers. However, this tiredness is not because the power of consciousness has reached its limit, but because I think I should be tired. Human consciousness grows in the process of cognition facing the material world, so it is impossible to describe the infinity that does not exist in the material world. And the more you realize the existence of limits, the more you will be trapped in the limits.

So I decided not to think too much about it. It might be better to follow my instincts when it comes to super powers. Even though this instinct is accumulated in the material world, it is very limited.

Guided by my sensibility, my flame turned into a spiritual force. Don't think too much, just reconstruct the flame into the spirit according to the feeling of reconstructing the flame into the body. Then try to increase the strength of the signal connection. It's like looking at a spider silk swaying in the wind, deliberately mistaking it for four or five strands, and then twisting these fragile spider silks into a thicker strand in the imaginary world, and repeating the above steps...

After several repetitions, the strength of the spider silk seemed to have increased to 80% of its normal level.

The signal from the other end came over like a thin wire from a paper cup phone. I slowly closed my eyes and vaguely heard the voice from the other end.

"…Is everything going well for him?"

"He hasn't woken up for such a long time... Did something unexpected happen?"

"He didn't wake up, which should mean that there was no accident over there..."

"Did his eyelids move a little..."

At first, it was unclear who was talking to whom, but gradually, the sound of the conversation became clearer, and in the end, it seemed that the person speaking was Zhu Shi.

Before long, the mental connection was upgraded to a normal level. I felt that my body seemed to be lying on the sofa in Luoshan Office, but I should be standing on the floor of the director's office in the secret base of the Humanitarian Department. It was like a very realistic fantasy, but I couldn't tell which side was fantasy and which side was reality. Of course, for me, both worlds were real.

I opened my eyes while lying down.

The first thing that caught my eye was the white ceiling with light tubes hanging on it, and then a face peeked out from the edge of my vision. It was Ma Zao's face, and she looked at me with confusion and worry.

I did a sit-up and looked around. This was the Luoshan office, and I was lying on the sofa. Zhu Shi was standing next to me, and Lu Youxun was sitting on the sofa opposite.

Everyone's eyes were on me.
