No wonder...
Understanding dawned on Mitian.
No wonder Bo Yi had insisted on entering this Instance when choosing one earlier. Mitian had assumed Bo Yi chose this place despite its difficulty because a sanatorium setting offered more medical safeguards than the other Instances.
He had never imagined it was because-Bo Yi understood these people (obsessed with research) all too well. After all, he was one of them himself (though not nearly so twisted)...
The doctor Bo Yi had chosen did not actually know how to disable the program on the chip. But he did not need to know how-he only needed to separate the chip from its "vessel" before the program activated. For instance, since the chip was currently bound to nerves and blood vessels, all he had to do was separate its circuitry from every single nerve and blood vessel.
Granted, the workload might have been just a tiny bit enormous. After all, separating the chip's circuitry from every nerve and blood vessel meant that every inch of Bo Yi's skin, every muscle... had to be cut apart and separated individually. This was also why Bo Yi could only deal with the "time bomb" inside his body in an Instance-
In his own world, within his Research Institute, he could not find another researcher besides himself with such precise skills and techniques. As for people outside his Research Institute, Bo Yi did not trust them and would never entrust something so important, something his life depended on, to an outsider.
As for why he had chosen to trust the doctor currently operating on him:
First, he had already destroyed the doctor's existing "vessel," making himself the doctor's only remaining option. For the sake of his own goals, the doctor would make certain to keep Bo Yi alive.
Second, he
