Hearing the system's arrogant declaration, Xuan Ming's applause stagnated.
Zhuang Li's tone was still so lazy and casual: "Oh, isn't it? But I'm not worried about the system at all. If it's too late for you to escape now, I'll give you a chance."
The system was annoyed by his arrogant attitude, and snorted coldly: "Host, I also gave you a chance, but you don't know how to cherish it."
As soon as it finished speaking, a harsh humming sounded in Zhuang Li's mind, and the tone continued to rise. This hum is like a feedback circuit between the microphone and the speaker, but it's sharper and more intolerable than that.
Xuan Ming was able to intercept the dialogue between the system and Zhuang Li, and naturally he could hear the buzzing. As an indirect victim, he hurriedly held his forehead and gritted his teeth so as not to cry out in pain.
Zhuang Li, who had endured this scream with his cranial cavity, just closed his eyes and waited quietly.
If it wasn't for his slender fingertips not turning the ballpoint pen, but holding the barrel tightly, Xuan Ming almost thought he didn't feel it.
Seeing that Zhuang Li was neither rolling with dissatisfaction nor begging for mercy, the system felt very unfulfilled.
It further threatened: "Host, whether you like it or not, I have forcibly bound you. Oh, I forgot to tell you one more thing, after binding, if you can't complete the task, I can obliterate you. ."
The whistling in his mind was going away, and Zhuang Li began to slowly and skillfully turn the ballpoint pen again. He was indifferent to the so-called obliteration.
Xuan Ming suddenly remembered that An Baoer's system had also said something like obliteration. If these systems come from high-dimensional space, they do have the ability to destroy a life.
Xuan Ming's hand on his knee couldn't help clenching into a fist, and his worried eyes frequently swept to the curly-haired youth beside him. He knew his behavior was suspicious, but he couldn't help it.
The system still didn't get the expected response, so he couldn't help raising the volume: "Host, did you hear what I said?"
Zhuang Li lifted his eyelids lazily, but his tone was full of provocation: "Destroy me? Then try it."
The system was completely irritated, and shouted: "Host, your emotional intelligence is really low, and you can't even do the most basic assessment of the situation. As your system, I have the responsibility to teach you."
As soon as it finished speaking, a sizzling sound of electric current sounded in Zhuang Li's mind.
Xuan Ming didn't know what the system was doing, but he could infer what happened to the other party from the curly-haired youth's reaction.
The youth's pen fell, and his hands pressed down on the table, as if he was holding back something. The back of his white hand gushed out a strip of blue blood vessels, and the rapid blood flow caused these blood vessels to pulsate slightly, which was an extremely painful reaction.
The system is destroying the youth's body!
This realization made Xuan Ming forget to cover up his abnormality, and immediately wanted to send the young man to the hospital, but suddenly found that his legs were cast in plaster, and he couldn't even stand up.
He immediately took out his mobile phone, sent a text message to the bodyguard standing outside the conference room, and just typed the words "you come in" when he heard the curly-haired youth chuckle in his mind.
His hands were placed under Xuan Ming's eyes, and the blue blood vessels were hidden under his fair skin, like clouds dyed with mist and rain, and like white jade soaked in blood, which was shockingly beautiful. However, it was such a pair of hands that revealed the pain of the youth.
But his laughter was so relaxed and comfortable, without any hint of stubbornness. He smiled and laughed, and he gasped for short periods of time. It didn't seem like he was enduring pain, but he seemed to be enjoying joy.
Xuan Ming was stunned, then goosebumps all over his body. He had a gut feeling that this kind of laughter was weird, but he couldn't tell exactly where it was.
He started fidgeting, and even forgot to send the text message calling for the bodyguard.
The system asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
"Ha~ha..." Zhuang Li smiled intermittently, sweat dripping from his forehead, but his pale skin was dyed with a crimson color at some point, and even the end of his long and narrow eyes was slanted red.
Xuan Ming glanced at him and quickly turned his eyes away. His Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly felt his mouth dry. He tore off his silver-gray tie and unbuttoned two more shirt buttons, so that he felt less short of breath.
Judging from the youth's reaction, it seemed that he had not been defeated in the confrontation.
The system is still shouting: "Host, the taste of electric shock is not enough? Don't use laughter to cover up your pain, it's too late to beg for mercy. Tell you, I can not only shock your body, but also kill your soul, you better Listen to me honestly."
"The electric shock to my body, are you sure?" Zhuang Li put his hands on the table and silently hooked his lips: "If it was a real electric shock, there should be burn marks on my skin."
He curled his fingertips.
Xuan Ming's eyes were immediately drawn to these slender, jade-white fingers with a little pink at the top.
Zhuang Li pressed his fingertips and continued: "But my skin doesn't have any scars, what does this indicate?"
Come, come, the feeling of eating deflated is coming again! The system gritted its teeth in hatred.
Zhuang Li chuckled: "This shows that the pain of the electric shock is just an illusion. It can neither destroy my brain nor harm my body."
The sizzling sound of the current still reverberated in the young man's mind, but Xuan Ming's high-hanging heart slowly fell to the ground. It was just an illusion, he unconditionally believed in the judgment of the youth.
"Is it a hallucination and you still suffer so much?" The system asked reluctantly.
"Do you want me to explain exactly how this works? You used tiny electrical currents to strengthen the connection between my nucleus accumbens and my prefrontal cortex, two areas of the brain that, when overloaded, produce intense pain. This pain It's just a signal, not a substantive lesion, and it doesn't hurt my body at all."
After saying these words, Zhuang Li lowered his head to search for something.
Xuan Ming immediately bent down and helped him pick up the ballpoint pen.
He whispered thanks, but didn't even give Xuan Ming a straight eye, and finally began to turn his pen, ignoring the system in his head and the pain in his body.
The system was extremely frustrated, and said solemnly: "What if it's an illusion? Your pain is real, I don't believe you can handle it!"
It increases the connection between the two brain regions, increasing the pain sensation.
This time, the ballpoint pen on Zhuang Li's fingertips did not fall, but the beads of sweat on his forehead became more dense.
Xuan Ming frowned and looked over. Although he couldn't empathize with the young man, he could intuitively see the strong revenge of the system from the sound of the increasing electric current. It tried to bring the man into submission by brutal means.
Huge anger filled Xuan Ming's heart.
But Zhuang Li chuckled as he gasped, "Is that all you have, System?"
The light blue ballpoint pen twirled and jumped on his fingertips like a blooming flower, which indicated his calmness and his victories.
Xuan Ming couldn't take his eyes off the young man.
The system continuously stimulates Zhuang Li's nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex.
The sizzling sound that represented endless pain had been ringing in Zhuang Li's mind and Xuan Ming's ears.
A few minutes later, Xuan Ming held his sweaty forehead, took out his mobile phone, and once again prepared to send a message to the bodyguard. As a bystander, he couldn't stand it any longer.
However, Zhuang Li gently put down the ballpoint pen and laughed wantonly: "Why is the pain of the electric shock getting weaker and weaker? System, it must be your conscience, right?"
As soon as this sentence was finished, the disturbing sizzling sound completely disappeared.
The system snorted coldly, "Isn't today's lesson profound enough? Do the tasks obediently in the future, or I'll kill you!"
Xuan Ming put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief. If the youth chooses to compromise and accept the task, he can understand and even cooperate. Having participated in the entire confrontation between the youth and the system, it is difficult for him to feel bad about the other party.
Zhuang Li was stubborn, shook his head, and chuckled, "Then you should kill me now."
Xuan Ming, who was ignored by the youth to the end, was extremely complicated.
The system gritted its teeth and said, "Host, believe it or not, I really killed you!"
Zhuang Li leaned back on the chair, his slender legs folded, and replied lazily, "I don't believe it."
"Okay, okay, I'll obliterate you right away!" After a familiar sizzle, the system's gunpowder-smelling voice returned to its original inorganic metallic tone: "The erasure process has started, ten seconds later, the host's soul will Gone forever, ten, nine…”
Time passed quickly, Xuan Ming clenched his fist tightly, but couldn't do anything. He really wished he could agree instead of the young man.
However, Zhuang Li shook his toes and sighed in his mind: "Stop bluffing, System. Now you have no power to cause any harm to me. Your intelligence is higher than that of humans, but you are still a machine in the final analysis, a machine's What is the core?"
The system just counts down and looks very cold.
Zhuang Li smiled nonchalantly, "The core of a machine is power. Without power, you can't do anything. Now, let me analyze how much power you have."
The countdown sound of the system suddenly trembled, like a disc scratched by a fingertip.
Zhuang Li raised his thin lips and analyzed casually: "When you set off, your energy is full, that is, 100%; from high-dimensional space to three-dimensional space, you need to break through the dimensional wall, and the energy consumed must not be Small, I guess at least 60%, because it is not easy for any kind of technological civilization to travel through time and space."
"After coming to the three-dimensional space, you need to find a suitable mission target. In the process of searching, you must scan all time periods in the world and pick the strongest one from the atmospheric transporters generated in all time periods. And From the origin of human beings to the extinction of human beings, I conservatively estimate that it is at least five million years."
Zhuang Li shook his white palm, "For five million years, you have to scan and test one by one. The energy consumption is as little as 10%, and as much as 20%. I'll give you 10% for the time being."
The system unknowingly stopped the countdown and silently clung to its own energy bank.
Xuan Ming was fascinated.
Zhuang Li continued: "Find a suitable mission target, you have to enter his era, which will consume a certain amount of energy. I guess it should be 5%."
"At this point, your energy is far below safe levels, and you must find a host to help you get closer to your mission goal."
Zhuang Li stretched out his long and slender index finger and lightly swiped the work card on his chest: "The host can't choose at will, because it's not good for you to complete the task if you are far away, so you will float in the air and slowly find the right one. people."
"Don't forget, you are a four-dimensional product. In three-dimensional space, you will be squeezed by the dimensional wall and fail, so you must support a plasma wall, that is, a force field to protect yourself. The support of the force field requires a huge amount of consumption. energy, the remaining 25%, how much did you use later? 20%?"
The system made a frightened sizzle.
Zhuang Li hooked his lips and smiled: "It seems that I guessed right. So, before you bind to me, you only have 5% of your energy left. If you want to enter my brain, you must first break through my protective mechanism."
Zhuang Li pointed between his eyebrows and sighed: "Although your technology level is very high, the human brain is also a place of miracles. The generation of consciousness made it the first place to enter the four-dimensional realm. In order to protect this miracle, the human brain A protective film similar to a plasma wall is produced, which is called the blood-brain barrier, which can block harmful substances in the blood from entering the brain, so blood angiography cannot be performed only in the human brain."
"Because of the blood-brain barrier, humans know less about their own brains than they do about the earth. You must have spent some energy when breaking through this barrier. I guess it should be 1%?"
The sizzling sound from the system suddenly became louder, and was immediately suppressed, as if it was covering up something.
Xuan Ming frequently looked at the young man beside him with amazed eyes, but it was a pity that the other party didn't notice him at all.
"After entering my brain, you have to bind with me. In this process, you don't need to spend any energy, because if I agree, you can naturally integrate into my consciousness and dormant in my brain. Come down. But I don't agree, so you forcibly bind."
Zhuang Li rubbed his temples with a tired expression, "I admit, being forcibly bound is not a good feeling, but you should be in more pain than me, right? Because you have to adjust your brain waves to be exactly the same as mine. It smoothly integrated into my conscious body, and how powerful my conscious body is, you must have experienced it just now."
The system snorted and quickly shut up.
Xuan Ming almost laughed out loud. The system that was so arrogant just now is now like a bitch who has been beaten to the point where he can't take care of himself.
"How much energy does it cost you to forcibly integrate into my conscious body? Is there 3%?" Zhuang Li shook his head and sighed, "And the remaining 1% was wasted by your electric shocks."
Zhuang Li spread his hands, raised his eyebrows, and smiled like a fox: "That's why I said I'm not worried about your forcible binding at all. What are you using to kill me now?"
"Of course, I have also considered whether your main god will load you with a program that automatically replenishes energy, so that you have the ability to counterattack. But the first time you communicated with me, you exposed your biggest weakness."
The system asked with a sad face: "What did I say wrong?"
Xuan Ming also pricked up his ears to listen.
Zhuang Li replied: "You used one word - activated. It means that you were on standby until you met me. What is the purpose of standby? To save energy. Why save energy? Because there is not much energy. In this world, You have no way to automatically replenish energy, you can only wait for the host's rescue."
The system sobbed.
Xuan Ming let out a long breath. The IQ of 310 is really extraordinary!
Zhuang Li nodded his eyebrows and pronounced the verdict: "So you see, my brain is not your comfort zone, but a prison. Once you come in, you can't get out. I gave you a chance to escape, but you I don't know how to cherish."
Recalling the warning the host had issued before binding, the system let out a wow.
Xuan Ming almost laughed heartily in front of all the shareholders. Fortunately, he covered his mouth in time and turned the laughter into a cough.
Qiao Yanan on the podium stopped speaking and looked worried.
However, Zhuang Li didn't even look at the "sick" man sitting next to him, and only declared seriously in his mind: "Treasure the quiet time now, the system. Sooner or later, I will tear you down with my own hands."
Xuan Ming stretched out his hand and applauded slowly.
Wonderful! fantastic!
