Manipulating Life (Part One)

The senior engineer stared at Jinba—no, it should be Mona.

Neural signals, chemical substances, and mimicry signals are all forms of biological signals.

Therefore, the ability to manipulate biological signals can alter life.

Whether it's a carbon-based civilization or a biological civilization, it is essentially a civilization that manipulates life.

However, controlling a level 55 bio-warrior in an instant—this level of signal manipulation is a bit exaggerated.

"HR from Tianping Technology, what do you want with me?"

"Mr. G has probably already guessed that I've come here to invite you to join headquarters and officially become one of us."

"Headquarters? I'm not thinking of joining a super-corporation like yours right now," the senior engineer said casually.

"Oh? So, Mr. G, what is the purpose of your visit to our branch this time?"

"Well," the senior engineer was just about to find an excuse to get away with it when his expression suddenly changed as a strong electrical signal surged into his nervous system.

The images in the senior engineer's vision kept flashing, transforming into a series of strange memories.

That was his experience of studying at the headquarters of Tianping Technology since childhood, and then studying elsewhere. It was all seamlessly embedded in his memory. Also, he had a childhood sweetheart who was waiting for him at the headquarters.

And the face of this lover is none other than Mona, standing right in front of us.

[Your nervous system modification rate is 14% (mechanical body), and you cannot avoid this memory alteration.]

The images became memories, and the memories became emotions.

Almost instantly, a strong sense of emotion welled up from the depths of her memory. The woman before her was almost exactly the same as the girl in her memory.

"Mona," the senior engineer murmured.

"It's me, long time no see, G," Mona's smile became innocent and pure, just like back then.

Electromagnetic signals begin to modify the nervous system, imprinting a large amount of code on neural circuits. Once the neural circuits are completely modified, then falsehoods will disappear, and memories will become reality.

However, when those colorful codes invaded the final link, the brain disk, a device was automatically activated in an instant.

That was a 'spinning top' sealed inside the brain.

When stimulated, the top begins to spin automatically.

The next moment, the neural signals disappeared, and electronic rain poured down. In the rain, a figure appeared and disappeared, with a strange expression.

"Damn it, I almost got screwed up in the gutter. Childhood sweethearts, huh? Do you think I'm that naive?"

80% of the senior engineer's mental skills are applied to biological bodies, and very few are applied to mechanical bodies. If he weren't an experienced driver who always keeps a backup plan and sets the virtual realm to "auto-activation mode," he would have really capsized this time.

With a flick of his hand, the silver pistol that was the "Source Code Killer" materialized. Amidst the raging storm of code, the Rich Lady Aiai Prototype strode forward. With each gunshot, a memory scene was destroyed, and at that memory node, another Rich Lady Aiai Prototype was born to continue the virus-killing.

Mona had been watching the other person with an air of complete confidence. As a senior HR professional, she was quite confident in her abilities.

Instilling corporate will, modifying memories, and reshaping values are essential skills for any HR professional.

However, in the cyber test site, HR's methods are a bit more brutal. Brainwashing is brainwashing in the literal sense. Words are not as effective as intubation.

However, as the biosignals suddenly disappeared in large quantities, her expression froze.

"Are you Cyber Hacker?"

She was greeted by a skill that the senior engineer had just unleashed—the transformation of a helium atom-frozen hand cannon.

In an instant, the entire corridor was frozen, and in the center of the corridor, an enormous ice sculpture wore an incredulous expression.

As the biosignals faded, Mona's facial features began to disappear, replaced by Jinba's face.

The alarm blared.

However, it stopped after only a few sounds.

"Looks like I'm a bit late, but thankfully you're alright!"

A giant man with enormous arms appeared on the other side of the corridor. With a casual wave of his hand, the surrounding defense robots withdrew, indicating that the other party had a high level of authority.

I highly recommend Wildfruit Reading; it's really good for tracking your books. Download it here.

Everyone should give it a try!

"Oh, it's you."

The senior engineer had some impression of the visitor; after all, a biological modifier with a modification rate exceeding 300% was still quite rare.

This indicates that the transformation rate at each stage can reach over 80%.

Hao Jie walked to the ice sculpture with a solemn expression, casually struck it with his hammer, and the next moment, countless cracks appeared on the ice sculpture. Then, the ice sculpture shattered, and the unconscious Jinba was grabbed by the other party and casually slung over his shoulder.

The senior engineer sensed a rich, tangible bio-energy emanating from the other party.

This is an absolute master!

"Han Tong messaged me saying that Mengna might attack you and asked me to come as soon as possible, but it seems you don't need my help anymore."

Hao Jie scanned the entire corridor, his eyes showing surprise.

"I heard that you are a prosthetic doctor specializing in biology."

"Doctors need to know a little bit about everything. I can actually modify the reproductive system too," the senior engineer said casually.

Hao Jie didn't intend to dwell on the topic any longer, and instead gave a hearty smile.

"This is our first meeting, isn't it, Dr. G?"

"For you, this is the first time; for me, it's the second time. After all, this is the first time I've seen a cyborg with a shattered nervous system yet possessing powerful bio-energy."

The senior engineer asked with some curiosity, "Could you tell me what kind of enemy attacked you like this?"

A shadow crossed Hao Jie's face.

"If only they were truly enemies, it would be better; it's always the ruthless ones who strike from their own side."

Hao Jie seemed unwilling to discuss this topic, saying, "I'll handle the situation here. You'd better leave here and avoid it for a while. Mona definitely won't just make a move once."

"Then, what if I strike first and take out this woman named Mona?" the senior engineer countered.

"You'd have to completely sever ties with Tianping Technology to get rid of an HR person at headquarters!"

The senior engineer smiled slightly, said nothing, simply waved his hand, and left.

Looking at the other person's back, Hao Jie sensed something inexplicable. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to reveal another piece of information.

"Han Tong told me that this woman has become a biological computer, which means that as long as she is at Tianping Technology, she can use all her power to deal with you."

"Oh, that's really scary."

Meanwhile, Ah Q was also following Matsumoto Tetsu's instructions, breaking through one obstacle after another to reach the data hub of the Tenpyo branch.

As an ordnance engineer, Ah Q was not good at fighting. However, during his adventure, he was surprised to find that almost no one stopped him. This was very strange. It felt like he was walking against the flow of people, but no one even glanced at him.

This even made him doubt whether he was really himself.

Meanwhile, the corporate offices and security systems along the way were dismantled one by one under this "unmanned" condition.

Finally, the elevator stopped, the doors opened, and he arrived at the end of his journey.

"Holy crap, what a huge database!"

The database that appeared before Matsumoto Tetsuya was over a hundred meters high, filled with signal stations, and seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

"Brother Zhe, have you got things sorted out on your end?"

"What, aren't you going to answer your partner's question?"

In the research department, Matsumoto Tetsuya sat in front of an information desk, his face covered in cold sweat. On the screen, a hunched figure was reflected.

"Are you wondering why the research department's defense system has malfunctioned?"

"Or rather, where are those dozens of combat machines you specifically requisitioned?"

Behind him, Ryuenzai, the representative of Marube, revealed a strange smile. In his hand was a red samurai sword, the blade emitting a strange booming sound.

Outside the door, all the level 40-50 mechanical beings were shredded to pieces.

Matsumoto Tetsuya took a deep breath:

"Were you sent by Dr. Liang?"

"You can let your ideas run a little wilder."

"Let's push it a little further. Dr. Liang is already the chief scientist of the branch. Unless you have someone at headquarters too," Matsumoto Tetsuya suddenly thought of something and took a deep breath.

"You mean, the branch's top manager is the mastermind behind everything?"

"Perhaps that's true," Liu Yuanzhai said, not intending to say anything more, but just giving a strange smile, "Well then, see you tomorrow."

Matsumoto Tetsu gave a wry smile, and the next moment, half of his head slid off.
