"This is called a brain pool, a product obtained by illegally cultivating human brains." Li Lin said, looking at the eyes of the spiral monster in front of him.

I have encountered this thing in war zones before, but the drug lords directly harvested the brains of living people and cultivated them to use them as processors and mining.

At that time, all the brains in the brain pool were going crazy, and the tone of their speech was similar to the alarm they had just received, so Li Lin thought of this.

This is the first time I have seen someone cultivated like this before my eyes.

Is this the ghost Zhang Ou is talking about?

While thinking about it, he quickly checked the situation of the brain pool in front of him and said:

"The nutrient solution has been lost in large quantities and the constant temperature environment has been destroyed. The nutrient solution needs to be replenished immediately, otherwise we will have to rinse the hot pot."

As he spoke, he picked up the executive next to him, patted his cheek and said with a smile:

"You should also understand how many years of imprisonment you can get for illegal human brain modification. You don't need me to say more, right? Where's the nutrient solution?"

The executive was obviously aware of the existence of Brain Pool. When he saw what had happened, his legs became weak and he could no longer stand up. He pointed to a cabinet next to him and said:

"Where...over there, this is all done by Mr. Yu and his friends, I don't know..."

Li Lin left him behind and found a bucket of nutrient solution in the cabinet. He was about to pour it in. Then he frowned and emptied all the remaining nutrient solution inside, then poured the new nutrient solution into it and rinsed it.

After that, the glass box was emptied and the nutrient solution inside was filled again.

The already very weak brain finally seemed much more comfortable at this time, staring straight at Li Lin with his eyes. Although he looked scary, his eyes were extremely clear and showed goodwill.

Li Lin then adjusted the temperature control system of the incubator to normal again and said to Zhao Ji:

"It's done, let Wu Ke and the others come over. I guess Zhang Ou has probably activated the self-destruction system of the brain pool and is preparing to suffocate the brain pool to death. There is a problem behind this project."

Zhao Ji had already sent out a message at this time. Looking at the flesh-and-blood spiral existence, he shuddered and said:

"I have been most afraid of octopus since I was little... How did this thing look like this? Those eyes... seem to have feelings... I'm going to have a nightmare tonight... Brother Li, have you encountered this thing before?"

With that said, Zhao Ji leaned behind Li Lin, no longer showing the silly and bold look he had at the beginning.

Li Lin poked Zhao Ji with his elbow and said:

"What are you afraid of? I won't bite anyone. If my guess is correct, this artificially cultivated brain has produced intelligence and already has self-awareness."

"The brain pools I encountered in the war zone were all made directly from living people. The memory and consciousness were directly washed away with chemical means and used as biological computers. Many brains still have residual memory and consciousness. It is a tragedy.

Now, it really means that the sky is not responding and the earth and the earth are not working..."

"However, this culture device is very easy to use. Sometimes after we seize the equipment, we will get a few pieces of pig brain to culture, which is enough for a spicy brain meal in a week."

Zhao Ji looked disgusted.

As Li Lin spoke, he found an external port on the brain device and plugged his police channel into it.

Immediately, a vague electronic synthesized sound sounded from the police station’s external speaker:

"Thank you... thank you for saving me... is this... reality?"

This electronically synthesized sound obviously has enough hardware resources, and it sounds a bit milky, much better than the hoarse sound of the previous alarm.

Li Lin grinned and said:

"This is society. You are welcome to enter the society and accept friction. You are a key witness. You will have to help us solve the case later. My name is Li Lin, what is your name?"

Zhao Ji on the side said in surprise:

"Holy shit, shit, it can talk?"

Li Lin rolled his eyes at him:

"How fresh. This is an illegally modified brain. God knows how much technology has been added by Wheat Technology. In short, it is a super intelligence. It is much smarter than you. How do you have more brain capacity? It is several times or ten times that of yours."

Zhao Ji was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Li Lin's police call sounded that milky electronic synthesized voice again:

"Name? I don't have a name... They said I was Project Styx... It's not a person's name..."

Li Lin waved his hand freely and said:

"That's easy, let me name you one. As a super-intelligent person, you'll be called Xiaozhi. It's easier to make a living with a nickname."

Nao Chi immediately said happily:

"If you like... my name will be Xiaozhi."

Zhao Ji was furious after seeing this. He pulled Li Lin aside and whispered:

"Brother Li, why are you still having an affair with him? This is a scientific monster...it's so scary..."

Li Lin frowned and said:

"Xiao Zhao, I have to talk about you. Xiaozhi is a person with a tragic life experience. He is a human being! According to the current law, as long as the body is based on human structure and has self-awareness and intelligence, it can obtain human status.

identity and corresponding equal rights, I will get him an ID card when he gets back. It’s not easy for a child, and it’s hard to take a photo of the ID card.”

Zhao Ji's eyes almost popped out of his head. Is this really about the ID photo?

Li Lin looked at him and sighed, shaking his head slightly:

"Zhao, with your transformation, I thought you were a geek. Your current reaction makes me very disappointed."

"I..." Zhao Ji groaned, his face turning red instantly.

There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and Wu Dalong came quickly with Peng Xin and the others.

Everyone felt a chill when they saw Xiaozhi in their minds, but fortunately they understood that this was definitely an important clue and might be the key to solving the case, and they were all overjoyed.

Li Lin explained the situation to them, told them about similar situations he had encountered before, said hello, and left the scene with Zhao Ji.

There is no need for him to elaborate on the current laws regarding Xiaozhi. The unit has a dedicated legal department.

It was already three or four o'clock in the morning. I was really tired after working for so long tonight and had to go back to rest.

At this time, Zhao Ji had long lost the arrogance he had when he first met Li Lin. He spoke like a little brother Li. After greeting Li Lin, he drove away and took away Li Lin's police motorcycle.

Li Lin took a taxi and returned to a small apartment he rented in the East District.

After all, the bus cannot be used for personal use, so I will still have to buy my own car later.

Land is at a premium here in Midtown, and even a small apartment is not cheap.

The apartment building is older than Li Lin's mobile phone. It is an old-fashioned tower building. The people living in it are mainly young people who have just started working, postgraduate entrance examination students living alone, and office workers working hard outside.

After verifying his identity at the door of the apartment building, Li Lin entered the elevator and came to his floor.

Just as he was walking towards the door, a quarrel suddenly came.

I saw a girl with a graceful figure and a pretty face looking into the void in the corridor, her eyes slightly red, and she was talking about something. She was obviously having a virtual reality call with someone through the brain-computer interface.

"I will definitely pay you back the money my dad owes you. Please give me some time! I'm working hard to make money!"

"It is impossible for me to agree to the conditions you offered before! This is the bottom line of my life!"

The girl's chest kept rising and falling due to excitement, and her face became flushed, looking pitiful.

Hearing Li Lin's footsteps, the girl cut away from the call, turned to look at Li Lin, quickly blushed, turned around, opened the door to her room and walked in.

She lives next door to Li Lin.

Li Lin shrugged and opened the door and entered his home.

None of his business.

Although the apartment is small with a total area of ​​more than 30 square meters, it is very neat and tidy inside.

As Li Lin entered, the holographic projections on the surrounding ceiling were activated, immediately projecting warm images, visually transforming the small apartment into the appearance of a cozy farm cabin.

The fire is burning in the fireplace, and the indoor temperature is rising with the central air conditioner. Everything looks real.

Li Lin poured a glass of wine, sat down comfortably on the sofa, and looked into the void in front of him.

Immediately, the holographic projector on the ceiling flashed, projecting images of characters into the void. At the same time, some text and images flashed between each character.

If Zhao Ji were here, he would definitely have an expression of disbelief, because at this time Li Lin didn't make any move at all, but all the smart devices in the room were serving him.

And those holographic images in the void can only emerge through information transmission.

Even people with brain-computer interfaces would find it difficult to achieve such perfect image interpretation.

But Li Lin is a natural person!

The image in the void is frozen. On the left are Wu Dalong, Zhao Ji, Liu Xunyue and other members of the competition division, and on the right are Yu Bing, Wang Xuan, Zhang Ou, Xiaozhi and other people related to today's case.

This is a complex network of character relationships and a basic case structure diagram.

And in the center of all the characters, there is a sad and beautiful face.

Xia Lian.

Li Lin took a sip of the Sprite and Erguotou in the cup, letting a ball of fiery liquor swim down his throat and into his stomach, and carefully read the information in front of him.

Judging from the clues obtained so far, Zhang Ou controlled Wang Xuan to kidnap Yu Bing, took the opportunity to remove Yu Bing from power, and became CEO himself. The ultimate goal is probably to destroy Wheat Technology's illegal brain modification project.

Just why would he do this?

Who controls him?

Li Lin thought about it. In the figure relationship diagram in the void, a black human figure appeared behind Zhang Ou with a big "x" written on his face.
