I, the warden of Delta, am a science popularizer and advocate for nuclear peace and friendliness.

"Let's go."

Geheros reminded him expressionlessly.

The two walked through the wide corridors and the crisscrossing passageways.

"It's just ahead."

Geheros pulled an access card from his pocket, swiped it through the access control, and the heavy metal door swung open with a ding.

"Keep a close watch on the entrance."

He shouted to the two jailers guarding the door.

Shi Yu glanced at it and silently followed behind.

As the metal door slid open to both sides, the scene behind the door came into Shigure's view.

The square space was dimly lit, with only a ring of electrical barriers in the center.

A figure dressed in prison clothes sat on the white bed in the middle, his black hair hanging messily by his ears, his face haggard, and filled with an unyielding sorrow.

The man saw the door open but made no move; his cloudy eyes simply stared calmly at the doorway.

The two men entered the room, and upon seeing the pale-faced figure walking ahead, the criminals ran towards Geheros like wild beasts seeing fresh meat.

Sizzle, crackle—

The next moment, a crackling sound of electricity rang out, and the shockwave struck him.

"This is Chen Ze, the former chief researcher of brain-computer interfaces."

"What's wrong with him?"

Shi Yu looked at the figure lying on the ground, convulsing, and was puzzled.

Gherros stood calmly outside the electric current barrier, looking at the trembling figure on the ground with a hint of regret in his eyes.

"The side effects of a failed brain implant are far more complex than we imagined. He didn't just go insane; his consciousness is trapped in a cycle he can't escape."

Chen Ze's fingers scratched at the ground, making a harsh scraping sound. He looked up, his eyes, hidden beneath his disheveled black hair, suddenly focusing, staring intently at Shi Yu. It wasn't a human gaze; it was more like the flickering of some kind of system glitch.

"You...you!" Chen Ze's voice was hoarse, yet carried a strange urgency.

Pfft!

Blood suddenly flowed from his eyes, and he curled up on the ground, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace, convulsing uncontrollably.

"Judgment... Judgment Star!! Ahahaha! I see it! I see it!!!"

Gheros turned his head to look at Shigure beside him with a strange expression.

"Is he talking about you? What is the Judgment Star?"

Shi Yu took a half step forward and carefully examined Chen Ze.

"I don't know either, it's probably just the ramblings of a madman."

He looked at this scholar who had once stood at the forefront of the field of brain-computer interfaces, now wearing a loose prison uniform with countless new and old scratches on his wrists, as if trying to dig something out of his skin.

"He's completely insane... Can he really help us gain control of brain-computer interfaces?"

Shi Yu turned around and glanced at the silent Geheros behind her. The latter met her gaze and smiled.

"don’t worry."

He took out the Heart of Africa and began to walk around the room.

Shiyu watched Geheros's movements and saw that the other party suddenly stopped in front of her to the left.

He held the Heart of Africa above his head, just enough to block out the light from the overhead lamp.

At this moment, the Heart of Africa shines as brightly as a real star, radiating unparalleled starlight.

Then a deep voice echoed in the room.

"At this moment, when the light of the heart shines brightly."

hum-

The familiar buzzing sound echoed around again, and a hazy halo suddenly filled the entire room.

Shi Yu's eyelids twitched. At this moment, he felt that his thoughts had reached an extremely high level, and his spirit seemed to be greatly soothed, and he no longer resisted death.

At this moment, he was like a god without desires or wants, his eyelids lowered.

But the next moment, a refreshing sensation spread through his mind, and his special-grade neural perception came into play.

Shigure rediscovered the feeling of desire, then looked at the Heart of Africa in Geheros's hand with lingering fear.

"high."

Shigure gave Geheros a thumbs up, but Geheros, being the user, was unaffected.

But Chen Ze was just an ordinary person. His brain was completely controlled by the Heart of Africa, stripped of most of his desires, and he sat slumped on the ground like a corpse.

Geheros deliberately reserved and amplified his desire to express himself, then gestured with his eyes for Shigure to ask.

The latter nodded, stepped forward and stood at the edge of the barrier, asking Chen Ze through the crackling electricity, "..."

Do you have a way to switch the highest level of control over the brain and computer?

He looked into Chen Ze's indifferent eyes, where there was no gleam.

"have……"

Chen Ze uttered a single word as if in a daze, and Shi Yu waited quietly for him to continue.

However, after a long time, he did not hear the other party utter a single word.

"You're quite well-behaved; you only answer my questions."

"Yes."

"..."

Shi Yu looked at Chen Ze with some embarrassment, then became serious.

"What is the solution? Explain it in detail."

Shigure now felt like he was talking to Deepseek, and every instruction had to be precise.

"A way...a way!"

"I need a computer, and then..."

As Shiyu raised her question, Chen Ze rattled off a string of technical terms, most of which Shiyu couldn't understand.

"Okay, then I'll give you a computer."

Upon hearing this, Geheros naturally walked out of the room and said something to the jailer outside the door.

Three minutes later, the jailer rushed over carrying a laptop.

"Here you go, warden."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Geheros took the computer, then returned to his room and handed it to Shigure.

The next moment, the electric current restriction suddenly shut down, and Shi Yu walked up to Chen Ze.

He wasn't worried at all that the guy would suddenly run away. There were two wardens present, and even the GTI commander would have to lie down.

"bring it on."

Shi Yu turned on the computer and handed it to Chen Ze.

The latter was stunned for a moment. He stood up and looked at Shi Yu's temple, where there was a clear access point with a string of numbers written on the metal casing.

Chen Ze memorized Shi Yu and Geheros's brain-computer interface numbers, then returned to the computer, sat on the floor, and began operating it.

Not long after, Shigure felt a tingling sensation spread throughout her body, and then nothing happened.

"Hmm... Is it over?"

He looked down at Chen Ze in confusion, but the latter didn't move; he simply opened his mouth and answered.

"Um."

"I thought the process would be more difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so quick."

Shigure muttered to himself, but Geheros's tense expression did not lessen; on the contrary, it became even more intense.

"What's wrong?"

With his exceptional insight, Shigure was able to discern Geherus's condition.

"Once the brain-computer interface is deactivated, Jacob will soon find out that we have a major battle ahead of us."

His dull pupils swept over Shi Yu, finally focusing on Chen Ze.

"He was the fuse."
