Chapter 256: Chapter 214 Compressed Vision_2

Inside was an extremely simple table where a person with a somewhat stiff expression was quickly writing on the paper. As soon as one sheet was filled, a new blank sheet would be replaced immediately.

"Is this considered living in another form?"

"No, he’s already dead." Chiang Wei shook her head, "What you’re seeing now is just the memories stored in that brain and the ’NPC’ synthesized by a computer. I remember a few years ago, there was a game company that developed a very unique holographic online game."

"The NPCs inside were quite distinctive and the game became incredibly popular for a time, but after some investigation, it was revealed that this technology had been used. The game company quietly acquired the corpses of the recently deceased, extracting their brains to create unique NPCs within the game."

Zheng Yichen smacked his tongue in shock, "Is that possible? Isn’t that illegal?"

"It’s illegal, but not that severe." Chiang Wei’s expression was a bit strange, "There was a huge controversy over this issue, with the families of those whose brains were used becoming divided into two factions. One faction felt that their loved ones were being desecrated, while the other thought their deceased relatives were living on in another form."

"The matter is still highly disputed to this day."

"??To this day?" Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but curse internally, amazed by the situation.

"The crux of the matter is that the families’ opinions differ, and without a consensus, it’s difficult to come to a clear resolution. After all, the game company is only using the corpses, and I’ve followed this issue; they’ve never harmed living individuals, nor do they need to."

Every second, someone dies in this world.

"In fact, after some people in a family die, they even actively approach the gaming company themselves."

"Well, your world is quite fascinating as well." Zheng Yichen, looking at the ’brain in a vat’ NPC that wrote as efficiently as a printer, asked, "So, you’re out of things to do now?"

"Yes, this information is enough, and we need all the scan records. They cannot be faked, and there won’t be any problem even if regulators come to investigate unless they really want to destroy the world." Chiang Wei was completely relaxed. Instead of being punished for her actions, if they were to be made public, she would be considered one of the heroes who saved the world.

However, this matter was destined to be kept secret, as the sheer magnitude of the investment in exchange for a button capable of destroying the world would be too damaging to the official credibility were it revealed. But what she had done would not be erased because of this. Assuming nothing unexpected happened, she would enjoy special privileges in the future as well.

She would have exclusive privileges without relying on her family.

"Compared to that, I’m more concerned about your physical condition."

"What’s wrong with him?" Chang Wenhua asked, noting that Zheng Yichen seemed to be in good spirits and had suffered no substantial harm since invading the fortress.

"He was wounded by bullets made of Red Star Rock."

Chang Wenhua fell silent, turning to look at Zheng Yichen. He considered asking if this friendly invader had any unfinished goals, and if not, perhaps inviting him to a nice meal would be appropriate.

"Don’t look at me like I’m a dead man; I’m all right. Let’s just deal with the main issue at hand."

Chang Wenhua nodded. After uploading the information and looking at the reply email, he frowned slightly, "We have to wait for approval, and afterwards, a specialized investigation team will come here."

"How long will it take?"

"The investigation team can arrive on the same day, but going through the whole process might take about two days, I guess." Chang Wenhua speculated, knowing the Eye of Time and Space had involved significant investments, any definitive classification of this incident would likely make all those investments go down the drain.

Too many people’s interests were at stake.

He exhaled and turned to look at Chiang Wei, who initially seemed puzzled but quickly understood and said, "I’ve already modified the surveillance."

"Unless something unexpected happens, once the investigation team completes their inspection, they will carry out some additional commands, like extracting all the possible value from the Eye of Time and Space before it goes into full meltdown."

Health points regeneration, after all.

"Got it, I’m going to check on the Eye of Time and Space."

He was not aware of how large the investment was in the fortress, but the scale of the investment was likely enough to upset any country in this world.

Chang Wenhua nodded, "You need to wear protective gear near the Eye of Time and Space; otherwise, you risk distortion... You’re not worried about that? All right then."

Nearby the Eye of Time and Space, Zheng Yichen saw many researchers busily conducting new tests. Machines intended to maintain the Eye of Time and Space would intermittently turn on and off, and the more they researched, the more dejected the researchers’ expressions became...

The machines weren’t completely useless, but their main function was to sharpen the clarity of the Eye of Time and Space rather than stabilize it.

As for why this hadn’t been discovered earlier, nobody had dared to perform such tests on the machines here before, as no one could take responsibility for any accidents. Moreover, mishaps had occurred in the past leading to numerous issues, making them even more cautious afterward.

Now that they had the freedom to conduct broader tests, many problems that had previously gone undetected were now being exposed.

"Wait, you need a protective suit to interact with the Eye of Time and Space." A researcher, seeing Zheng Yichen about to enter the isolation area of the Eye of Time and Space, quickly approached and loudly warned him.

Upon realizing the person was Zheng Yichen, the researcher’s expression froze. Zheng Yichen had left a deep impression on these people; although they could reflect that his previous actions were well-intended, even helping to uncover a terrifying conspiracy, Zheng Yichen was ultimately not one of them, was he?
