Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Evil Knowledge_1

"The answer to this question lies in probing the boundaries of consciousness through logical thinking,"

Lu Xiang whispered to Song Lan.

This was the answer Professor Myles had once told her, and for that reason, she paid extra attention to subjects related to mathematics, going beyond what was taught in the curriculum to self-study advanced mathematics, logic, and other subjects.

To this day, she felt the answer was no longer important; what truly surprised her was Professor Myles’s reaction to Song Lan’s response, as in her memory, the professor had always been a kind and approachable person and had never before lost his composure in public like this.

The order of the class was disrupted.

Professor Myles simply stood there, seemingly unwilling to continue the lesson unless Song Lan answered his persistent questions.

"It’s because..."

The gazes of the students made him hesitate for a long moment, but eventually, he stood up and said, "When we were in the Seventeenth District, we encountered a bizarre case, and during the investigation, we found that this particular criminal did not have a body; his consciousness could exist by attaching to objects."

He had traveled a long way to the Seventh District, and it was unlikely he would have the opportunity to learn from Professor Myles in the future. If he only came to understand a failed case from over a hundred years ago or the history of modern Psychic studies in this class, it would be a great loss.

Of course, he obscured the background, location, and characters in his recounting of the case, retaining only the most inexplicable parts they had encountered.

As Song Lan narrated, the students in the classroom also became fully engrossed in the case, finding it much more intriguing than the robot models and the Amberville Project shown on the slides.

"I do not deny the accuracy of this theory,"

As the story unfolded, Professor Myles’s emotions gradually stabilized, "The experience of being close to death is indeed the fastest way to probe consciousness."

As he acknowledged this, there was an uproar among the students.

They had all come with the anticipation of becoming Psychics, but in the end, they received only cumbersome, time-consuming methods from Professor Myles that brought little sense of progress.

Even diligent students like Lu Xiang, who had rigorously practiced the methods provided by the professor, had not achieved any results.

"Professor, were the previous methods wrong?"

A student could not help asking.

"Of course not, in my opinion, the professor has provided another pathway,"

Before Professor Myles could speak, Song Lan took the initiative to clear things up for him.

In fact, when Lu Xiang enthusiastically offered to tutor him in advanced mathematics, he had doubted whether Lu Xiang had been deceived; suspecting that the professor, unable to answer the question, had devised such a time-consuming and torturous approach as a way to discourage Lu Xiang.

However, during a casual chat with Dr. Bai Zhu, he developed a new idea.

Dr. Bai Zhu mentioned that Lu Xiang’s adaptability to the "Deep Web" chip was astonishingly high, surpassing her 26-second record on just the second try, much stronger than any of the professional hackers she had seen. This abnormal physical constitution made Dr. Bai Zhu wonder if Lu Xiang’s brain had been modified.

"In hacking, there is a technique known as Deep Dive, which allows one to enter the depths of the data world,"

Hearing this, the students nodded in agreement, indicating their awareness.

Lu Xiang had mentioned that hacking-related courses were mandatory at Morning Star Academy, so there was no need for him to elaborate on the details.

"Before a Deep Dive, professional hackers make corresponding preparations, such as facilities like ice water tanks, and they strictly control the duration of the dive, designing ways to awaken themselves."

If any aspect of the environment was problematic, a hacker’s consciousness would become lost in the vast cyber world, becoming part of that enormous database of information.

But if you look at it from another angle, Deep Dive is actually the process of separating a person’s consciousness from their body. When hackers’ minds enter the world of data, their bodies become empty shells.

"Let me do the talking."

Professor Miles seemed to have made a difficult decision. Taking over from Song Lan, he said, "I provide you with methods, and the focus is not on how many questions you got right or even how much knowledge you learned, but on building strong logical thinking abilities. You can think of it as a firewall. The stronger the firewall you build, once your consciousness is separated from your body one day, the less likely you will be influenced by external factors."

The theories he mentioned actually can’t make someone a Psychic, but rather are things one should do after becoming one.

"But why can those who have died still attach themselves to objects and exist?"

Another student asked.

They found it hard to imagine that someone could actually attach themselves to an object and remain for dozens of years—it sounded almost as preposterous as an unscientific ghost story.

"It’s not about attaching to any object to exist."

Professor Miles looked at Song Lan, "If the details you mentioned are credible, we can easily find that if he really could attach himself to any object at will, he wouldn’t be trapped in a secret room for decades... However, these are experiments derived from an evil theory, and they shouldn’t exist in this world!"

At the end, Professor Miles’s tone grew more intense. He ignored the students’ follow-up questions and sternly made everyone focus on the slides.

Song Lan and Lu Xiang were asked to leave the classroom in a relatively gentle manner by the professor.

"Congratulations, you’ve achieved a remarkable feat."

This was also the first time in her life as an honor student that Lu Xiang was kicked out of the classroom by a lecturer. She never expected that on her and Song Lan’s first day back at school, they would enjoy such treatment, "At the same time, we might also be the first ones to get kicked out by the amiable Professor Miles."

It’s known that not only are Professor Miles’s exams lenient, but he has almost no demands regarding students’ behavior in class. As long as you’re not intentionally causing trouble or creating noise that disrupts the class, the professor usually takes an indifferent attitude.

"Not bad, I’ve been frequently punished to stand since middle school."

"That’s not something to be proud of."

Lu Xiang touched her forehead helplessly. She didn’t really blame Song Lan, but wondered why Song Lan’s single answer caused such a vehement reaction from Professor Miles.

Was it because it contradicted the professor’s previous answers, and challenged the content of his course?

Moreover, Song Lan’s abrupt response to the question also seemed suspicious to her.

Now that the professor had kicked them out, all she could do was ask Song Lan, "Why did you say that just now? What’s your ulterior motive?"

"Because Dr. Bai Zhu just sent me a text message."

Actually, when Lu Xiang mentioned Professor Miles, he had already resigned the man to the junkyard in his mind.

The Psychic Research Center is an important department of the United Government, and he was curious why someone who once served as the vice-dean would willingly retire to teach at a school.

Dr. Bai Zhu didn’t disappoint and found some interesting information.

"The theory of ’Near-Death Experiences’ was first proposed by Professor Miles."

"So what?"

"That theory directly led to the birth of ’Stimulus Therapy’."
