The castles appearance and office area were designed to look original. After all, not many ancient castles had been kept intact throughout Europe. The Edward Family was still rich and powerful, not declined as many others, and the castle was the symbol of him and his noble ancestors. Of course he would keep the castle instead of tearing it down to build a new modernized institution.
However, the inside of the castle was largely modified. It was where the core project of the whole research took place, so it must be one hundred percent modernized and precise.
Psychological research could not be separated from constant experint and deduction, so this place looked like physics or chemistry labs a lot, just a little softer. In the modern tis, everything was digital; even sports had data analysis system. Of course psychology was no exception.
In an inclosed room made of glass, three researchers were crawling on the floor like lizards, sticking out their tongues to lick the floor or glass walls from ti to ti. That was really funny, but also extrely creepy.
Other staff were standing around but carefully kept a certain distance from the room. And there were ard security staff. The Edward Institution was semi-governntal, so its high-level security was permitted.
Sophia and Edward were standing in the front. Edward looked gloomy, but Sophia was much calr. As an audience, she had seen too many weird things beyond human imagination.
Shes doing that again? Sophia took the gloves that a researcher handed over to her, and put them on.
She has been sleeping for almost half a year, but sohow woke up just now. Two n happened to be recording her physical signs in the room, and they were instantly hypnotized. Then another one ca in to check on them but was hypnotized, too. Edward said helplessly.
Sophia stepped up, but Edward grabbed her hand.
Her hypnosis range was only around five ters, but that was recorded last ti she woke up. We dont know if shes better than that now.
Sophia looked around and shook her head. Never mind. Im just taking a closer look. If she can hypnotize , it wont matter how far I am from her.
As a botanical enhancer, Sophia was quite confident about her ntal state and spiritual power.
Usually, she would only be awake for half an hour. After that, she would fall asleep again. Edward checked the form in another researchers hands. In about fifteen minutes, she should fall asleep. Those n in the room should be hypnotized to be her toys. Shouldnt be too dangerous.
Then he turned around and yelled to everyone:
What are you doing here? Go back to work! This is the first ti this specin woke up in six months. Keep your eyes wide open and make no mistake, are we clear?
Yes.
Roger.
Okay.
Everyone cald down and went back to their position.
But the security guys were still watching everything around them. They were nervous but also a little excited because they had never seen anything like this.
Sophia got rid of Edwards hand and signaled him not to worry. Then she walked forward, opened the glass door and walked in.
In the middle of the glass room, there was a pale blue container filled with nutrient solution and attached with multiple sensors. In the solution, a brain was floating up and down.
Yes, only a brain, living in nutrient solution.
It was a horrible idea to separate a brain from a human body and keep it alive in such a container. But Sophia knew that this brain was not taken off by anyone in this institution, or from any other advanced organization in Britain or any European country. It was brought here by a man over a decade ago.
Modern science and technology developed rapidly, which implied that in the old tis it wasnt as advanced as it was today. But over a decade ago, soone could perform such a delicate surgery. That was incredible.
You are annoying! Cant you just stay away from ? I hate the way you sll. Im living in sothing like a culture dish and youve got so many plants in you! Are you gonna take away my nourishnt?
A little girls voice appeared in Sophias mind but didnt surprise her much. This brain had already been examined and analyzed by others in the departnt, but by that ti, it was still asleep. This was the first ti Sophia saw her sober. Others must be on their way here, but they probably wouldnt make it in ti since Edward said she was going back to sleep real soon.
Back off! How dare you co closer! Ill send Bai to kick your ass!
The voice yelled with anger. The three researchers crawling around suddenly ca back to normal and imdiately left the glass room; apparently, they were scared.
Bai?
Sophia frowned. Due to the difference between Chinese and English, she failed to understand whom this Bai ant. But if she was Chinese, she might imdiately realize who this girl was talking about. After all, she had been with that person the whole morning.
Still on your way? Why are you so stupid?
How co youre lost? Thats hopeless!
Stop wandering around! Hurry up!
Stop talking! Thats annoying! Su Bai couldnt help rolling his eyes. The little girl had been talking to him all the ti and there was no use covering his ears. Her voice went straight into his mind. It felt so intimate, like having so stranger filming you when you were having s*x, and the cara was only inches from your p*nis.
Finally, after wandering about for so long, Su Bai arrived in front of a gate which was decorated obviously different from other places. It was an electronic gate that required verification, probably of fingerprints.
It was just a simple verification, much easier than the safety-check gates. After all, this was a psychological institution, not nuclear weapon or CBW [1] arsenals; no terrorists would actually attack here.
Luckily, there was a security guy standing by the door. Su Bai walked to him and offered his hand as a greeting.
The guy was surprised. He walked to Su Bai, reached out his hand and said:
Sir, you cant go in there
But before he could finish, Su Bai stepped toward and hit him on the neck. The guy was imdiately knocked out. Su Bai was strong enough to take out a common person.
Then he put the guys palm onto the sensor and the door opened instantly. Su Bai looked around and walked in.
It was vast, but most people were gathering up around that glass room, therefore no one had noticed him at the mont.
Finally youre here! Alas, Im tired, I wanna go to sleep A few more minutes later and youd have missed because Im really going to sleep! Im telling you, I will sleep for a long ti. Last ti, I slept for almost half a year!
Su Bai kept walking. Now it would be impossible to catch no attention. The security staff found him and all turned their guns towards him.
Edward turned around, confused. Su Bai was a patient that Sophia had introduced to him, so he must be noble or powerful or sothing. But he was quite impolite to break in.
Sir, you really should leave. Edward stared at Su Bai with anger.
Su Bai shrugged and pointed to the glass room. The voice inside told to co here. I was already leaving.
Sophia also saw Su Bai. She waved to him and signaled the others to let him in. She was a little worried that if these n fire at Su Bai, he might start fighting back, then the institution would fall into chaos. Normally, Su Bai wouldnt kill anyone, but if his life was threatened, there was no way he would refuse to protect himself, no matter what consequences would be waiting for him.
Edward was still looking gloomy, but he waved his hand to let Su Bai in. He really hated to have a psychopath in his most secret and important project.
Su Bai walked by and pushed the door open.
Sophia looked at him with an intrigued look: Dont you know this is western dominion?
Mm-hmm. Su Bai didnt answer.
Even though that woman is behind you, we will, for our honor and
Cut the crap, will you? This thing told to co here. Su Bai pointed to brain in the culture dish, then gasped in surprise. This is a cool way to exist.
Yeah, pretty cool. Sophia wasnt happy.
Aha, here you are! Ive been waiting for you! Luckily, I havent fallen asleep just yet, The girls voice said joyfully.
Yeah, here I am. I want to know about my parents. Su Bai said. That was the real reason why he ca here.
However, just then, the girls voice suddenly turned into a harsh scream of a vicious old woman:
Finally! That man sent here and tortured for so long! Now
Ill have his son die with !!
Die with !!!!!!
