The Two Ends of the Scales

As a heretical machine that distorts life, the construct has distinct advantages and disadvantages.

Its advantage lies in its absolute suppression of living beings. Level 50 corporate warriors, elites, and several even have boss templates, are like easy targets in the hands of a senior engineer.

The disadvantage is that constructs are not very useful for non-living beings.

Furthermore, as a twisted prosthetic implant, it itself is twisting every second, and if not handled carefully, the recipient will enter a torture mode.

The senior engineer had just dealt with a matter when he was led astray by the other party, almost ruining a potential rich woman.

It's really scary to think about.

"You have indeed surprised me a bit."

The senior engineer looked up and saw Kai Bao watching him with great interest from the rooftop of a building.

"I thought you would be crushed by the first wave of attacks from Tianping Technology."

"You underestimate me too much. This isn't the level of a corporate war. Besides, the other side hasn't even deployed their test range yet."

"Yes, that's true. Be careful, don't die."

After saying those words, Kai Bao turned into ashes.

What, is this a reminder to me?

The military prosthetic eye blinked once, its visual range extended to its maximum, which is 2500 meters.

From this distance, you can see all of the surrounding dozen or so streets.

However, there wasn't a single living person in sight.

"That doesn't make sense. I killed all the test subjects around here."

With a thought, the senior engineer unleashed his energy nozzles, and the mechanical body soared into the sky, taking in the entire biological zone.

Then, he witnessed an incredible scene.

Pedestrians, vendors, shop assistants on the street, and white-collar workers in high-rise buildings, like Kai Bao just now, were visibly turned to ashes.

One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand...

Are you Thanos too?

As artificial data was extracted, a large number of biological signals began to converge, and tiny electric currents appeared out of nowhere. Water molecules were affected and gathered into dark clouds. For a moment, the entire city seemed to be submerged by dark clouds.

The senior engineer felt waves of sharp pain in his head.

[You received a shock of "high-intensity neural signals," but because your perception reached 120, you were immune to the shock.]

[You received a shock of "high-intensity neural signals," but because your perception level reached 130, you were immune to the shock.]

"So they really did activate the power of the testing grounds."

The senior engineer opened his palm, and a phantom spinning top solidified. With a snap of his wrist, a rain of electrons fell from the sky.

Electronic rain pelted the dark clouds, scattering them.

What dissipated was not the dark clouds, but the bundles of nerve signals that permeated the air.

With a terrifying clap of thunder, the phantom of a giantess appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds.

"It really was you, the woman playing online."

As a fellow biocomputer, the senior engineer naturally knew the purpose of this thing; a single biocomputer could not possibly produce such exaggerated results.

The only reason is that Mona accessed Tianping Technology's database and quickly gained control of the test field.

Install the latest version.

Are you that concerned about yourself?

Unexpected, yet perfectly logical.

After all, she is quite popular with wealthy women. As a senior HR at a world-class company and a super high-achieving professional, she can be considered a small-time wealthy woman.

With a thought, all the electronic rain exploded, and the electronic vision replaced the prosthetic eye. This time, he saw the true face of Liangzhou City.

It was a huge brain that covered the entire sky.

Each biological region becomes a brain region.

Between the biological zone and the Tianping Science and Technology Center, a brain-like structure, resembling a galaxy, stretches across the sky, with billions of neural signals piecing together the flow of the galaxy.

In the senior engineer's mind, the murmurs of millions of people echoed.

[You have received a shock from a 'Super Neural Signal'. This shock cannot be immune to. Perception -1 point/second, Intelligence -2 points/second]

In a flash, the high-powered engineers' signal systems were summoned and detached from their mechanical bodies, flying towards the 'Galaxy'.

Left with no other choice, the senior engineer had to summon the electronic rain once again and simultaneously program fire code. The fire rain swirled around him, finally negating the negative status.

However, as the engineer flew into the distance, his vision grew darker and darker, the mechanical body's plug-in sensors began to disappear, the energy nozzles gradually shut down, and he swayed precariously.

"As expected, once the power of the test site is unleashed, it cannot leave this super brain. Just as neural signals cannot operate without the brain, I have now become a link in the signal."

The senior engineer had no choice but to turn around and fly towards the 'Milky Way'. Strangely enough, the closer he got to the Milky Way, the better his mental state became. He even received a buff: +1 point of perception every 10 seconds.

When the senior engineer stepped into the "Galaxy", 10 seconds became 1 second.

In a daze, he seemed to be connected by all sorts of nerve signals. Here, he could experience the life experiences of 100 or 1,000 people in an instant, enjoying all the joys and sorrows.

And the perception point has increased from 1 point to 100 points, increasing by 100 points per second!

Neural synapses began to appear on his body surface like a spider web, and at a speed of hundreds of meters per second, they began to connect with every star in the 'Milky Way'.

When one person's will clashes with the thinking of ten million people.

There's only one outcome: assimilation!

Language center, olfactory center, respiratory center, pain center... all senses are frantically opened and assimilated. Gradually, memories disappear, emotions disappear, and even personality disappears.

All beings are one with me, and I am also one of all beings.

This is the realm of the Buddha within religion.

But it is clear that once you become a Buddha, you can no longer be a human being.

Just as the last bit of her thought was assimilated, a slight smile appeared on Mona's lips in the biological database.

No one can resist the power of the sea of information.

Scattered sensory signals, less than a bit of personality data, and fragmented logical pieces—this seems to be the only legacy left of the senior engineer.

During this time, the construct's instincts emitted a distorted scream, but it was overwhelmed by endless nerve signals after a few breaths.

The construct alone cannot distort the "biological brain" composed of tens of millions of people.

At this moment, the tall buildings in Liangzhou City were all covered with a thin layer of fleshy membrane, and on the surface of these membranes was a structure similar to the cerebral cortex.

"As expected, he can't do it either."

Kaibao stood on the top of a building, looking at the sky, and muttering to himself.

Although I didn't have high hopes, I was still a little disappointed.

On the planet Jili, there are many group test sites like this, but there are even more abandoned test sites.

It looked down at the ground; these people, turned to ashes, could no longer be reborn.

Besides people, even a car, a mansion, or a building slowly turned to ashes.

Overly radical experiments will undoubtedly accelerate the decline of the testing ground.

Once the testing ground ceases to function, it becomes useless.

However, the highest command from the mother city is imprinted on its data layer, constantly reminding it that it cannot interfere with the experiment.

It had heard of the mechanical mainframe of the City That Never Sleeps, and the machine agent had personally participated in the experiment, but that was because she was special. She had a dual personality, and the highest command was only imprinted on one machine agent.

This gave another opportunity for the machine to take advantage of the situation.

It's a pity I didn't have that opportunity.

"Kindness?"

Just as it felt its sadness program speeding up and was about to go back and eat ten electronic ice creams to cheer itself up, it suddenly realized something was wrong.

Within the "Brain Galaxy," a neural node is rapidly absorbing data.

Within the endless white light, first appeared an illusory skeletal framework, then a mist composed of nerve signals, and finally the light emitted by the electronic signals unique to mechanical bodies.

An electronic ghost composed of neural signals is born.

"That was terrifying, I almost died."

"Electronic ghost," the senior engineer muttered to himself.

As expected, only the power of the testing grounds could defeat the testing grounds.

"Impossible!

!

In the biodatabase, Mona gritted her teeth, while her blonde secretary beside her was puzzled, and Charlie's body began to tremble violently.

"Is that strange?" Charlie suddenly spoke up, though it was the voice of the senior engineer.

"It's not a particularly sophisticated method; I just got there first."

"What do you mean!?"

"What I mean is that I am actually a biological computer, and I updated my system and connected to the 'brain corpus' before you did."

"Of course, this is also thanks to the help of our president. Without his intervention, even I would not have been able to escape the surveillance system and the watchful eyes of the company."

Charlie's vagus nerve slowly opened, and deep within it were the eyes of the senior engineer.

Behind Mona's virginity lies a massive collective consciousness.

A new balance has been born.
