The planet where the Super Modifier's headquarters base is located.
The day the secondary ideological imprinting plan was implemented.
Just, is it solved like this?
When Catherine walked out of the Super Modifier Central Laboratory, her whole figure seemed to be walking in the clouds.
She felt that there was something absurd about the whole thing, something that could not be described in words.
From the last physical examination, four galactic days later, to today's official second thought imprint, she has been walking on a tightrope in a gravity zone. Every step she takes is very difficult, but there is always a big hand behind her to support her.
She, protect her all the way.
The second thought imprinting experiment just now shut down most of the functions of her brain chip, leaving only the chip's self-cleaning and rejection-free system.
Then……
There's no after that.
She stood in the sealed cabin of the thought imprinting instrument for five minutes. The holographic helmet she was wearing was always playing melodious music. There was no infrasound wave that made her feel a little upset when she was first imprinted with thoughts.
The radio wave disturbance that should have occurred did not occur;
The strong psychological suggestion that was supposed to happen didn't happen either.
After Catherine finished listening to the two pieces of music, two lines of small words popped up in front of her eyes.
[Congratulations, you have completed this branding, the empire is proud of you.]
[Ask your people to keep quiet. There was almost trouble before. Just walk back to your lounge quietly. I will protect the loyal ones for you.]
That's all she went through during the Mind Imprinting Ceremony.
She had no idea who wrote the last two lines of small words.
On the buildings on both sides, hundreds of renovators were staring at Catherine, and several sniper rifles were aimed at Catherine's tall and slender figure.
Captain Gris, the on-site commander, was frowning and staring at Catherine.
Of course, Gris knew that Catherine was White Ghost's girlfriend, and he had eaten all kinds of dog food with mixed flavors.
But among the tasks that Gris received today, the most confidential one is to guard against a small group of super-changers led by Catherine who may launch a riot because they resist the second ideological imprint.
According to Gris' previous judgment, the most dangerous moment today was actually before Catherine entered the experimental center.
He was extremely impressed by Catherine's strength.
However, no conflicts broke out during this process. Catherine, like the more than twenty super-modifiers they had previously focused on, successfully completed the second imprint.
This made Gris breathe a sigh of relief.
But then, Gris faintly noticed that something seemed not quite right.
The reason why so many ordinary reformers have been mobilized from above cannot be explained by the phrase "take precautions for a rainy day".
The above should have received accurate information.
But now, nothing happened.
The main mission target, Captain Catherine, did not have any emotional fluctuations throughout the whole process and completed the ideological imprinting very calmly. There was almost no reaction before and after the imprinting, indicating that she wholeheartedly recognized the content of the ideological imprinting.
'Do you want to take the initiative to ask?'
This thought was circulating in Gris's heart.
Sudden!
Buzz, buzz!
Gris's watch continued to vibrate, and a message jumped out. The picture of the sender of the message made Gris subconsciously raise his eyebrows.
——The avatar is a black history photo left by the white ghost during the period of "Mingzui Hui Saka", with a middle-parted hairstyle and an exaggerated expression.
Gris glanced at Catherine's walking back and clicked on the message.
[Hanton (White Ghost): How is my girlfriend? Is the branding experiment going well? 】
Gris signaled the people around him to lift their alert, waved his hand to the side, and sent a voice message.
"My lord, the Count, is really powerful. How did you know that I am here? This is a confidential operation."
[Hanton (white ghost): You are now the favorite of the military department. If you are not allowed to do this kind of work, who will do it? I should have persuaded her, she will not make any trouble. In about five minutes, she will
A group of super-modifiers have entered the experimental center, and they should all have problems.】
Gris looked around and started typing a reply.
[Grice (Vice President of the Support Association): Your words sound very meaningful. How do you know? Is the source of the information reliable? 】
[Hanton (White Ghost): This involves the factional struggle within the super-modifiers. Some people want to use the help of the above to get rid of the more eye-catching Catherine team. Because of my sensitive identity, I cannot go directly to the super-modifier center, so these things are only
I can leave it to you.】
This guy is lying.
Gris quickly came to his own judgment.
But then, Gris discovered that he did not want to expose the white ghost, and even subconsciously felt that this matter had nothing to do with him.
The super-modifiers and their secret forces at the Skywrath Fortress were not originally the same system, and Catherine herself did not resist the branding experiment...
Grace decided not to take the initiative to ask about Catherine.
[Grice (Vice President of the Support Club): Please treat me to a drink later. 】
【Hanton(White Ghost): No problem.】
Gris turned around and walked back to the edge of the building and said into the earphone:
"Every team should brace themselves, rule out the possibility of Captain Catherine launching a rebellion, and continue to lock in the next batch of targets."
"yes!"
"Don't worry, Captain Gris! Whoever dares to really do anything to Captain Catherine is also a fierce man who gives birth to a female worm!"
"Let's just say, how could the girlfriend of an empire hero betray the empire? It would be so chilling if the person involved knew about it."
Gris smiled.
In fact, judging from Lao Bai's words, it is 80% true that Catherine had problems before.
However, once something like a mental imprint is applied, it can instantly modify the thought and cognition of the imprinted person. Now Catherine's thinking should be back on track.
Time passed minute by minute.
Almost five minutes later, more than a dozen super-modifiers appeared under the building, most of them looking a little nervous, and they entered the door of the experimental center together.
The time Lao Bai said was so accurate?
The corner of Gris's mouth twitched slightly and he looked up at the sky.
Beyond a thick layer of atmospheric clouds and fog is a planetary defense system as tight as an iron barrel.
…
In the airspace slightly far away from the planet, Dongfeng is hidden in a meteorite belt.
clatter!
Yang Ming buttoned up the shell-shaped communicator and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Done."
This guy Gris is the most difficult character to deal with in today's plan. Now it seems that we can almost stabilize him.
Later, give Gris and the others some meat to eat, let them build some achievements here, and complete the counterattack of the 'ordinary reformers' against the 'super reformers', which can be regarded as reciprocating the favor.
"boss!"
Law's figure appeared beside him:
"The super-modifier center has completed its deployment, and the fourteen super-modifiers marked by Bray have entered the experimental building."
"How's it going over there in Bly?"
"It's not exposed, but it will definitely leave some traces."
Lu said softly:
"The hidden danger we need to worry about now is actually my senior, the Empire's Total Defense System.
"If she takes action, we will lose everything in an instant. If she doesn't take action, I am confident enough to complete the mopping up steps and remove all traces."
Yang Ming breathed out softly.
He smiled and said: "This is an unavoidable risk. When the gap in hard power is too large, all calculations and plans become pale and futile."
Lu added: "Based on the details before and after the Emperor Xing forced palace incident that you recounted, boss, I can tell that my senior cannot move freely now, otherwise the contemporary emperor would not be subject to such great restrictions. The difficulty of the current plan is that we do not know that the emperor has already
How much information do you have?"
"Just wait and see, be patient."
Yang Ming lay on his back in the captain's chair, closed his eyes comfortably, and tapped the armrest with his fingers.
He seemed to be able to see everything happening in that gray-toned building.
…
The dozen or so super-modifiers who had been marked by Bray in advance had arrived at the Branding Laboratory. They were randomly divided into three batches, with five or four people in each batch.
They kept exchanging glances, looking increasingly nervous.
These people were all members of Catherine's secret group chat.
Although ‘A01’ sent a message last night, telling them that ‘everything will be fine’;
Moreover, in the past few days, they had participated in physical examinations and inquiries, and finally landed smoothly without any trouble;
But now, as the real branding moment approaches, they still can't help but sweat.
In fact, there is nothing to hesitate about.
The worst outcome for them if they accept the brand is to continue their previous life, become the sword of the empire, perform some small tasks on weekdays, and wait for their own dimension-ascension experiment to come.
beep--
The green light for traveling together came on, and the first group of five people entered the single-person passage ahead and walked towards the five single-person cabins.
The instrument started successfully.
The branding test officially begins.
In a corner of the experimental center, Bly looked down at the five single cabins at his feet, with a strange smile on his lips.
Suddenly a muffled sound and a low growl came from below.
These sounds lasted very briefly, and the rapid breathing of the five super-modifiers gradually calmed down.
A few minutes later, the words "Branding experiment successful" appeared on the projection screen in front of Bly.
Bly opened the button for the brand information, glanced at the content inside, and saw a series of bright red words "death". He raised his hand to modify the content of the brand.
He likes this game.
Bligh changed the branding content to 'Damn the Empire', 'Overthrow the Imperial Despotism', and 'No way to be a prisoner'.
This is really interesting.
The first batch of five super-modifiers left the single cabin. They lowered their heads and retched, their eyeballs were bloodshot, and their muscles were bulging.
Immediately, several medical robots moved forward and injected sedatives into each of them.
Each super-changer's reaction to receiving the branding varies from big to small.
However, most of the super-changers who have received the brand today are as calm as Catherine, because the content of the second brand they received is not much different from the first brand.
The first imprint is "loyal to the Sherman Empire, dedicate everything you have".
The second branding is "Be loyal to the Sherman Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, and dedicate everything you have to the dimension ascension experiment".
This kind of ‘adaptability’ itself is not too bad.
Of course, the five people in the lounge were branded "Death, Death, Death, Death, Death, Death", which was difficult for them to accept, and it was normal for them to have a larger reaction.
A few minutes later, five more super-modifiers arrived in the lounge, each breathing heavily but with firm eyes.
After a similar period of time, the remaining four people completed the rendezvous.
These fourteen super-modifiers gathered again, and their reactions were either big or small.
"Where is the exit?" one person asked with a frown.
Suddenly there was a sizzling sound from the corner next to them, and clouds of blue mist quickly surged towards the soles of their feet.
"Poison gas! It's a neurotoxin!"
"They are really going to kill us!"
"Let's go!"
A super-modifier's muscles bulged violently, he grabbed a medical robot and smashed it against the glass directly above, shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Overthrow the Imperial Tyranny!"
Among the remaining thirteen people, four shouted in response excitedly at the same time, while the other nine looked confused.
"What are you going to do?"
"We are on the side of the empire! We have passed the news to the empire officials, and we do not need to participate in this uprising!"
"Are you looking for death? Don't take me with you if you are looking for death! Bastards!"
But the five people seemed to be stunned. At this moment, they jumped up one by one, smashed a passage above, and quickly attacked towards the weapons laboratory underground of the experimental center.
The poisonous gas was chasing them below, and the remaining nine super-modifiers had no choice but to jump out.
The alarm bells sounded in the central laboratory.
The secret troops of Tianwu Fortress who had been waiting for a long time swarmed in from all directions.
…
Is this okay?
Catherine still hasn't come to her senses yet.
During this time, Catherine definitely felt a force surging in the dark.
That force was out of her sight and was rapidly eroding the core system of the entire super-modifier organization.
She could even notice that many staff members who were not familiar with her at all and had only met her in person looked at her with a little more enthusiasm and smiled unconsciously at the corners of their mouths.
Just like now.
Catherine was about to arrive in front of a sliding glass door. Two young girls in white coats came forward quickly and quickly pushed the glass door open, showing a sincere smile to Catherine.
"Please come in!"
"Thanks."
Catherine whispered, she buried her head lower and hurried towards the floor where her lounge was.
Boom——
The building suddenly trembled, and small cracks appeared on the outer layer of the floor-to-ceiling window glass.
Catherine looked up in the direction of the explosion, and all she saw was a high wall, and she immediately rushed to the side for a safe passage.
Half a minute later, Catherine appeared on the observation deck on the sixteenth floor, looking towards the direction of the central laboratory.
There were thick plumes of smoke rising upwards.
A swarm of drones hovered in the sky, a large number of mechanical guards set up weapons and equipment everywhere, and transformed warriors equipped with flying backpacks shuttled back and forth.
Explosions came one after another.
Catherine suddenly thought of something and turned on her communicator.
She was just about to confirm who was conducting the experiment now, when a chuckle suddenly came from the side.
Several projection balls that had been waiting for a long time floated over, and Bly's holographic projection appeared below.
Bligh asked softly: "Captain, who do you want to contact?"
Catherine frowned and looked at Bly. Just as she was about to speak, Bly blinked slightly.
She understood and whispered: "Bray, why are you here?"
"Look at the show," Brywen laughed, "Actually, I got an order from Director Reva, and she asked me to keep an eye on you... Isn't it ironic, you have been keeping an eye on me for several years, and you didn't expect that now
I'll keep an eye on you instead."
Catherine clenched her fists slightly.
Bly sighed: "Everyone wants to find a tree to lean on, so that they can enjoy the shade, keep out the rain, and keep out the wind."
Catherine heard a hint of sarcasm in his words.
Bly continued: "Some people are like this. They don't dare to confront the big tree, so they take the initiative to hide under the big tree and betray their team."
"Is there any evidence?" Catherine asked.
"Evidence? You can't ask me," Bly said. "I just heard them mention it and found it particularly interesting."
Catherine understood immediately.
If she wants evidence that those people are traitors, she can go to the big tree she is leaning against - Hanton.
"Okay, it's over."
Bly said slowly:
"Take a good rest for a few days, Captain Catherine. The higher-ups will definitely continue to pay attention to you.
"I didn't expect that the factional struggle within our super-modifiers would be so fierce, but you did nothing and successfully completed the second branding. You will be loyal to the Sherman Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, and for the dimension ascension experiment.
"Dedicate yourself to everything" is written into your subconscious mind, and the empire should not continue to doubt you.
"I still have a lot of work... Oh, it's such a hard life."
Catherine immediately wrote down the contents of the new thinking imprint.
Bly's projection disappeared, and the three projection balls also turned around and flew away, quickly disappearing.
Are those people traitors in their own team...
Catherine stared at the fire coming from the central laboratory building and did not move for a long time.
Extraterrestrial.
Dongfeng quietly sailed away from the meteorite belt and sailed secretly into deep space.
When Yang Ming heard what Lu said, 'the traces have been cleared', the big stone floating in his heart finally fell.
In the past few days, with the efforts of him and Bly, they had successfully screened out the traitors in Catherine's small team, helped Catherine retain the basic team, and successfully weathered the crisis.
He could only help Catherine so far.
As for whether Catherine can become a qualified leader...it depends on herself.
By the way, Yang Ming also received a little mention of power expansion, that is, Bligh eroded the level of most of the top leaders of the Super Modifier organization.
"Boss, we still have a few days to spare. Should we go visit Valkyrie or go back to Dark Star?"
Yang Ming said: "Then let's go and see Posuo."
"Well," Lu said, listening intently, "I suggest you go back to Dark Star."
"What's wrong?"
Lu smiled and said: "I just checked the news. Miss Hera's formation is starting to return. Since there is an exact route and continuous jump coordinate points, it will arrive at Dark Star Base 2 in about a day."
"Go back and take a look... wait."
Yang Ming thought carefully, a bit of doubt flashed in his eyes, and whispered:
"Catch up with Posuo and let's go back together and take a look."
"Yes," Lu's expression suddenly became much more serious.
