Chapter 593 A Heavy Blow Is Necessary

Zhou Yi coldly watched Wu Ye carrying bricks in the light cage.

He has verified the basic information of this third acting person.

This person has built multiple laboratories, with his headquarters located in an ocean-going ship that sank into the Dead Sea.

Wu Ye's experiment was recorded in its entirety and stored, so once his location and identity were identified, retrieving this information was very simple.

The artificial human project has been underway for 220 years.

In total, Wu Ye used nearly 130,000 humans for biochemical experiments, of whom more than 43,400 were successfully modified.

Among these androids, more than 100 were Wu Ye's experimental assistants and subordinates.

There are also 740 people working in various organizations and cities. This group has a detailed maintenance list and physiological evaluation reports.

However, the vast majority of people did not have any follow-up records.

Zhou Yi asked him through the gem-transformer, "Why were there no follow-ups on the other 42,000 people?"

Wu Ye said, "They have no talent. Even if they are transformed into artificial humans, they will just be ordinary people who have been enhanced. They are not worth observing and consuming resources for a long time."

"So I let them return to life and continue to live as androids."

"Because of the influence of the ability of 'non-existence,' they will not know of my existence, nor will they remember how I became an artificial human. But they possess a completely new life form and are artificial evolutionary samples of the human population."

"Non-existence" is equivalent to "selflessness".

This is an ability that the Celestials collected from the Dream Demons, which they then modified and bestowed upon each of their agents, ensuring that their identities and appearances could not be remembered by other beings.

Zhou Yi asked him, "What is your purpose in transforming normal people into artificial humans?"

Wu Ye said, "By improving the fundamentals of human strength and survival capabilities, we can expand the stable population and elevate the human life class."

The fierce-looking man insisted that everything he did was to improve the quality and quantity of humanity.

His reasoning was...

"Humans are inherently weak, and in the Dead Sea environment, they become increasingly abnormal, too prone to emotional instability, panic, abnormality, collapse, and hesitation. These are all due to the influence of their own physiological structure."

Wu Ye calmly explained: "Only by fundamentally reversing physiological defects can the severely ill human population be revitalized and become truly healthy Dead Sea humans."

The people he saw were always fearful and in a state of abnormality; each one seemed like a patient.

Zhou Yi initially thought it was related to his abilities.

Wu Ye's ability is called "Neural Prosthesis," which can create artificial nerves to connect different forms of life and is also the core foundation of artificial human technology.

It doesn't seem to have any impact on recognition or perception.

Or is this person a born perfectionist?
Zhou Yi was perplexed.

Night God provided the answer: "This Wu Ye has had a gemstone fiber structure implanted in his body. All surrogate bodies have something like this, and Wang Fengwu also has one. Through these gemstone fibers, we can read their information and basic conditions."

"Wu Ye has a congenital neurological abnormality, lacks pain sensation, has no sweating leading to thermoregulation disorder, lacks fear, and is also accompanied by a certain degree of intellectual disability."

"So he doesn't feel pain or fear."

“In his eyes, everyone else is sick, but he himself is the one who is abnormal.”

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "The Celestial Gem can be used for physical examinations?"

"Of course. At least these individuals who had gemstones implanted have detailed records. They must have been tested and marked using special gemstone equipment."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

The acting position is considered a permanent position within the Tianren system, and the pre-employment medical examination was normal.

Yagami continued, "It is for this reason that Wu Ye was chosen as the proxy. His characteristics perfectly match the requirements of the Celestials for their targets."

"They exhibit no fluctuations in behavior or emotion, feel no pain or fear, are as stable and efficient as a machine, and are incapable of understanding or empathizing with their fellow human beings."

"In addition, although the ability of [Neural Prosthesis] can connect the nerves of different life forms, it requires extracting one's own nerves as material to perform nerve-level connection surgery."

“Every time a cyborg is created, Wu Ye needs to cut a part of his own nerves to complete the human-machine connection for the target. He can't feel pain or fear, so he can do all this.”

"In short, Wu Ye is a non-human who is like a human. He is indeed a very suitable individual for selecting experimental subjects from among humans to supply the Celestials."

"His physiological structure is highly compatible with the gemstone fiber system."

"Because gem cells do not feel pain or fear, only the glass cells, as variables, experience these complex changes."

Zhou Yi looked at the man in the cage.

Wu Ye believes that humans are pathological and abnormal, and this is indeed the case from his perspective.

It is also due to physiological abnormalities that cognitive distortions and biases occur.

He appears extremely dangerous within a human group.

Yagami, however, watched Wu Ye working from outside the cage, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

"The Lunar Services Company now has a second employee. Not bad, not bad at all. Putting everything else aside, he's very efficient and quick at taking on tasks, without any breaks or rest."

She asked, "Have all the other proxy identities been confirmed?"

Zhou Yi hummed in agreement.

Seven major agents.

The first few were acquaintances; the main people being verified were numbers five, six, and seven.

Through the combined efforts of the company and the legal front in screening information, the secular identities of these three individuals were quickly determined.

The fifth acting officer is named Yuri. Like Takumi, he is a member of the Black Emperor's Dawn Guard. During the Second War against Celestial Being, he was devoured by the Light Core Giant and then modified. When he was released, he was covered in wounds, and his bones, muscles, and internal organs had all shifted and reacted to rejection to varying degrees, so he was dismantled and reassembled by Celestial Being.

After surviving, Yuri developed PDST symptoms, rendering him unable to fight, speak, or hear. He has kept himself locked in his room for years.

So it was sent to a sanatorium, where it remains to this day.

It appears that, after being experimentally modified, Yuri has essentially become a proxy.

Then it's number six.

This is a member of the mountain dog group, but he is not an unknown figure.

Its name is Newbell, and it is a senior elder of the Mountain Dog Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is an autonomous organization of a mountain dog group, belonging to the racial power formed by this group.

In their daily lives, Newbell primarily helps mountain dogs resolve various disputes and negotiates and collaborates with other organizations and groups, earning a very good reputation.

Finally, there's number seven, whose identity was initially difficult to ascertain.

Unless one has lived in a city for a long time, it is almost impossible to determine the identity of a skeleton based on its appearance.

The Department of Orthopedics and Plastic Surgery has done a great job this time.

Number Seven couldn't escape the preferences of the skeletons either. She went to Maria Hospital for cosmetic surgery, had a custom-made sleek muscle suit made, and had two skin whitening treatments. She even came here every three months for cosmetic procedures and care.

Through the hospital, his identity was quickly confirmed.

This skeletal figure is named Jules Verne, and the name itself suggests that it travels and moves around in the Earth's core—Jules Verne, the famous writer of the Old Humans, wrote the science fiction novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

Verne is not a pseudonym.

This is the identity that Number Seven uses in the secular world.

With the support of the legal front's database, it was quickly determined that Verne had been seen in several mechanical and electrical cities, mainly in three areas: medical consumption, recruitment of employees, and buying and selling goods.

Verne was originally a skeleton merchant who owned a small trading group that mainly dealt in Dead Sea mining, excavating luminous amber and artifacts from the Old Humans, and living a life of seclusion in the city.

Yagami immediately suggested, "Catch them all and give them a complete overhaul."

"We must take strong measures to replace these outdated and corrupt agencies with new people in order to usher in a better new order!"

"..."

Zhou Yi glanced at her: "You want to bring them all over and have them work for you, right?"

"We've also had that idea."

The other party readily admitted it.

"Anyway, there's always someone who can take over as an interim employee; it can be replaced. But the employees here must be interim employees."

Yagami said, "I'm going to have them develop and use the gems. They're born for this... Didn't you say that each generation is stronger than the last? I think Zhang Zhi, whom we promoted, earned his acting position on his own. The newly appointed fourth acting official, the Slaughtering Duke, is also better than Wang Fengwu."

"Let's do a major, artificial reshuffle. If these veterans don't retire, how can new people take their place?"

Am I right or wrong?

Zhou Yi really couldn't refute her statement.

Say something.

indeed.

Zhou Yi considered it carefully: "If we completely overhaul the team, it might cause them to band together and rebel or even flee in advance, which would pose a great threat. We should deal with the ones that need to be dealt with first, try not to make too many enemies, and proceed steadily."

The former king, acting as the number one, naturally remained unmoved. This one had essentially revealed his intentions: to rebel against the Celestials.

The second Taotie needs further investigation.

In terms of reputation and ability, there are no problems with the Fourth Slaughterer.

"The next one to deal with is Verne."

Zhou Yi stopped pretending and said bluntly, "This concerns the secrets of City 404. We can obtain this information by capturing them."

"Good good!"

Yagami's eyes lit up: "Go! Go! Give me the address, and I'll have the Gem Transformer go and capture it right away."

"Don't worry..."

Zhou Yi had to dissuade him: "It is very likely still in City 404. The situation in City 404 is unclear. If there are any mutants or protection mechanisms, it may alert the enemy. We have to wait for it to come out."

"The Legal Front has already issued classified orders to all the mechatronic cities. They will inform us as soon as Verne appears. Let's wait for now."

"You should train your two employees first, and get them gradually started on gem-related operations. I need to go back to Earth first; there's still a small issue with the androids and the lab there that I need to handle."

"it is good."

Arrangements have been made over there.

Zhou Yi left the moon and headed to Wu Ye's sunken ship laboratory.

Because Cat God sent a message over there.

"Chairman, we've made a discovery during the surgical experiments here."

"We have found a special human hybrid that has reached Grade A."

"He said he was born from a mountain of flesh on a forbidden continent."
