Chapter 901 Continuous deterioration (3)

The other party is the official priest of the Holy See of the Imperial City of the Holy Choir, one of the [Final Priests] under one of the thirteen archbishops. His hands and eyes have direct access to the heavens, and ordinary means cannot threaten the opponent at all.

So, now, he can only compromise for the time being.

"good."

Faced with Miao Shuisheng's compromise, the priest on the other end of the phone was extremely happy. There was a smile in his words, his tone was much gentler, and his words were no longer as aggressive as before.

"I don't want you to die due to exposure to danger. I know that the disease is very dangerous, so this time, I will pray for your protection."

A prayer from the Archbishop of the Chorus, the ultimate priest... If this prayer is true, it is of some use.

The other party was obviously very serious, so the explanation continued:

"You must have guessed that I am talking about [Omnic Disease].

This disease has recently broken out on a large scale in the imperial capital, and many people have been infected. The disease breaks out quickly, is highly contagious, and has a low fatality rate, so basically no one who has undergone brain-machine implant surgery can escape."

The other party reported a number that he thought was shocking:

"About 2% of the people in the entire imperial capital are infected with this disease!"

Miao Shuisheng corrected:

"This proportion is meaningless. Only nobles can be used as statistical subjects for statistics."

The other party actually laughed and said:

"Yes! This disease can basically be regarded as a disease of wealth, because consciousness uploading and brain-computer implantation are things only wealthy people do!

Especially those immortal old nobles who have been bedridden all year round and rely on fresh human blood to survive. Those damned and immortal bastards thought that they could live forever by replacing their brain machines and intelligent mechanical bodies.

of!"

Miao Shuisheng listened to the other party's unabashed gloating and had already made an accurate judgment on the other party's mental state:

The other party does not care about the life, death or health status of the infected person, they just want to make a profit from this bad public health incident.

As for whether what he got was money, power, or something else of value, Miao Shuisheng couldn't guess.

The other party was happy for a while before continuing:

“What you need to note is that since this disease is a type of mental illness, when you have direct contact with pathogens, you will definitely be invaded by them.

But since you don’t have a brain computer, even if you contract the disease, the symptoms will not be particularly severe - as an ordinary person, the contagious virus of omniscientism is not fatal.

And if your body's immunity is strong enough, it can resist the invasion of pathogens and be completely immune to the invasion of omnics - I heard that people who engage in manual labor rarely get sick. Even if they are infected, as long as there are no other underlying diseases superimposed on it.

, there won’t even be the most basic symptoms.

In short, as long as you can resist the invasion of pathogens, you are safe."

What the other party said was different from Miao Shuisheng's understanding.

Miao Shuisheng frowned and said:

"In other words, [Omnic Disease] is not just a programmed virus targeting brain-machine modifyers...brain-cyborgs, but it can also infect completely normal human cells that have not been transformed by omnics."

He used very complicated adverbs and adjectives to make sure that his expression was accurate enough.

The other party affirmed:

"Yes, it was impossible for a program virus to infect carbon-based flesh before, but it is different now. [Carbon-based silicon neutralization] technology allows for a deep connection between human flesh and silicon-based chips.

The virus invades the human body along the part where [carbon-based silicon neutralization] has been completed.”

This was really beyond Miao Shuisheng's expectation. He had previously thought that omnipathy was a disease caused by the incompatibility between brain and consciousness, and had not thought about "infectious diseases".

An irreversible malignant infectious disease caused by wanton transformation and desecration of the body sounds like...

curse.

Miao Shuisheng calmed down and confirmed the situation in the imperial capital again. This was very important to him, because with the highly contagious nature of omnic disease, he had to ensure that he knew enough to gain more safety for himself:

"In other words, those who would not have developed omnics originally but had undergone omnic modifications - those who had implanted omnics but not brain machines, were affected by this large-scale infection.

Unexpectedly, he was infected with the omnic disease virus that appeared due to the incompatibility between brain-computer and physical body."

The other party obviously understood his purpose from his detailed inquiry. Based on the premise of cooperation, the other party must at least ensure that he will not make any mistakes before completing the task, so he affirmed his question:

"You are right. The person who only had the implantation of the omnic prosthetic body was really unlucky this time. He suffered such a disaster for no reason."

Miao Shuisheng asked again:

"Can you confirm whether omniscientism is just a physiological infectious disease?"

This is a very interesting question, and behind it is the essence of Miao Shuisheng's worries.

Miao Shuisheng thought to himself that the other party on the other end of the phone must have raised the corners of his mouth, because there was obvious suppressed happiness in his words:

"I can't confirm this."

Really bad news.

The other party used very rigorous logic to completely expand his answer:

"I can't confirm whether omnipathy is just a physical infectious disease or a psychological disease that can also affect the mind.

In fact, within a few days of the silent outbreak of omnic disease in the imperial capital, professors majoring in biomedicine and bioelectronics within the academy had discussed it countless times.

But every time I couldn't get the answer.

Under normal circumstances, the imperial academic community believes that mental illness is not simply caused by psychological problems. The emergence of mental illness is usually due to physiological lesions. Among these lesions, brain lesions account for the majority, but other body lesions

Psychological diseases caused by local lesions are not uncommon.

The academic community currently does not have enough clinical cases to prove the pathological attributes of omnipathy."

Miao Shuisheng remained silent.

The worst-case scenario has occurred, and the extent of the danger he has to face is completely unknown.

The worst part is that once infected with omnics, there is absolutely no chance of cure.

Miao Shuisheng suddenly said:

“What if omnics had the properties of a mental illness?”

The other party replied in a positive tone:

"Assume that omnics possess the properties of a mental illness:

Once your body fails to resist the invasion of the omniscient virus, you will fall into a more serious situation than the disease - you do not have a brain computer, and there is no way for the brain computer to bear part of the symptoms like a normal omniscient patient.

pain of.

Once you are unable to resist the invasion and are infected by a pathogen, lesions will appear in your brain—fine and numerous lesions like urticaria.

This is one of the results simulated by the professors."

Miao Shuisheng was not frightened.

There are very few things in this world that can scare him.

The reason why he asked this was because his principle of entering a deeper world - [lucid dreaming], was to project his [spiritual consciousness] into a deeper world and explore it.

Once the omnic disease virus has the properties of a mental illness, the other party's request to go to a deeper world and investigate the source of the omnic disease will be extremely dangerous for him - because during the investigation process, his [mental

The conscious body] will face the omnic disease virus head-on!

As for the "protective prayer" promised to him by the other party, he didn't think it would have any effect.

After a long silence.

"I want an opportunity to communicate face to face with Professor Wright."

After all, Miao Shuisheng could not resist his inner demand and made his only request in this transaction.

The other party's tone became colder:

"Don't push yourself too far. What's your status? What's the other person's status? I'll send you a letter to his desk, that's the limit!"

Miao Shuisheng changed his request:

"I want his work email. There is always an email, otherwise how can I work."

After a moment of weighing silence.

"OK."

The other party quickly continued:

"I will send you the coordinates soon. There are new rules this time. No more photos, but videos. Take pictures of everything you see...as soon as possible, preferably before tonight...the sooner you give me the video

, the sooner I can get your email address."

Miao Shuisheng said:

"knew."
