"Stimulating the brain with an electric current at a special frequency can ensure the stability of Modified Containers." Anna's voice sounded beside Sun Hang's ear. "The brains of Modified Containers have all undergone surgery. Their brain structures are somewhat like precision computers. As the data stored inside them—negative emotions, in other words—continues to accumulate, along with the massive amount of redundant data generated during daily operation, more and more bugs pile up... These bugs normally don't have any obvious effect on their brains, but once their numbers accumulate to a certain point..."
"What happens then?" Sun Hang asked.
"Modified Containers lose control. As for what exactly happens, I don't know." Anna said, "It might turn into a super Anomaly, or its head might burst like a rotten watermelon, with a whole bunch of Anomalies of all sizes growing out of its remains. Or maybe nothing happens at all... Who knows?"
"What if I pull out these silver needles now, or smash the machine?" Sun Hang asked again. "Will a lot of people die?"
"It would prematurely trigger the negative emotions stored in the Modified Containers' brains," Anna said. "I can't say for sure whether the nearby residents would be affected, but the fat man lying on the floor probably won't survive."
"I don't care whether he lives or dies."
Sun Hang said that, but he did not reach out to touch the two Modified Containers lying on the operating tables, nor did he touch the machine that looked as though it had been cobbled together from discarded parts in some shabby workshop.
Honestly, he could not tell whether Lin Lun was simply bold or whether this machine was far more reliable than it looked... Wasn't Lin Lun worried that a malfunction might make these two Modified Containers "explode"?
