"XX Research Institute?" Chen Jue looked at the two men in puzzlement, wondering to himself.
But recalling his earlier experience of being deeply immersed in the vast universe within his body through [Inner Vision], Chen Jue suddenly felt a few inexplicable stirrings of gratitude toward Commissar Yao and the middle-aged man named Liu Chengdong before him.
If they had not knocked midway through and awakened him from that peculiar state of inescapable absorption, Chen Jue would probably still have been trapped in his bodily universe.
Although that state seemed miraculous, allowing Chen Jue to enter a process of expanding thought akin to sudden enlightenment, it contained immense danger.
It was like an old home computer running a new version of a program that demanded enormous processing power. One slip could send it into inexplicable overclocking and lag, with the cursor spinning before it froze completely and stopped responding, or even suffered a system crash and blue screen. Only forcibly restarting the power could restore it, and in a worse case, even a normal restart would probably be useless because the system itself had been damaged.
