Chapter 411: Close Contact
An AH-1Z Super Cobra helicopter descended slowly and landed in front of a huge square building located deep in the forest.
Two soldiers with the rank of colonel held on to their caps and ca forward beneath the furious wind stirred up by the propellers.
“Sir Murphy, welco back.”
Behind the soldiers were two staff mbers in white coats. As Murphy walked out of the helicopter, several people shook hands with him and then the two colonels searched his body as per protocol and scanned him with a detector. After confirming that Murphy did not carry any electronic equipnt or weapons with him, they turned and left.
“Did anything happen when I wasn’t around in the past two days?”
Murphy walked through the lead Faraday barrier and asked quickly, “Did Adam detect any changes?”
“It’s business as usual.”
The staff replied, “Everything is going smoothly. If Adam’s prediction curve is given an emotional value, I can only say that his mood is extrely stable today and even a little happy.”
“Oh?”
Murphy could not help but laugh. “Very good, I like your analogy.”
With that, the three ca to the front gate of the laboratory.
The gate of the Quantum Deity Laboratory was like the nuclear bunker of a military base. It looked extrely thick. At this ti, a gap appeared and they could just about make out the disinfection room inside.
The three of them entered side by side, changed all their clothes in the disinfection room, including their undergarnts, and then put on the work clothes provided in the laboratory.
“Mr. Murphy, you’re back so soon.”
The instant he entered the hall of the laboratory, soone stepped forward to say hello. Murphy nodded and greeted everyone familiarly but as he chatted, his face suddenly shifted slightly.
At this mont, the feeling of being watched struck him again...
“How is that possible? This is a zone isolated from all signals and electromagnetic radiation and even an electromagnetic pulse bomb wouldn’t sway this place at all. How can I still feel like I’m being observed?”
Murphy’s heart shivered. He thought it was just the sa illusion as before but this feeling grew stronger and stronger until it even affected his conversation with other people.
“Sir Murphy, what’s the matter?”
The speaker in front of him saw Murphy’s expression changed and asked curiously.
“Sorry, excuse !”
Murphy suddenly covered his mouth, spun around, and rushed toward the nearest washroom. At this mont, he suddenly felt an inexplicable rush of nausea. This indescribable feeling surged straight into his forehead and almost made him lose his composure.
Murphy knew that he must never display this behavior in front of others. Once he was suspected of having health problems, his current position would be stripped away in the blink of an eye.
He strode into the washroom, randomly picked a stall, promptly locked the door, and began to lower his head and vomit.
However, all he spat out was a dribble of yellow liquid.
“What’s going on...”
Murphy raised his trembling hand, pressed the flush button, then staggered out, walked to the sink, and rinsed his face with clean water.
However, at this mont, a voice suddenly rang by his ear —
“Go and see it, quick, go and see it...”
That voice was wispy and illusive as if it ca from nowhere. It was not even a voice but a command, a command from the dark abyss...
What, what was happening?
Murphy was about to speak, but at this mont, he suddenly felt his body stiffen and in an instant, he lost control over his entire body!
Yes, he had lost control of his body!
Murphy watched helplessly as his face in the mirror slowly cooled down from an expression of horror and finally took on a vacant look. Then he leisurely wiped his cheeks and hands as if he was possessed. He straightened out his disheveled clothes before he turned and walked out of the toilet.
‘No! No! Who is it, who’s controlling ?’
Murphy’s heart raged frantically but he found that he could not even control his heartbeat. His emotions were in a state of sheer horror, but his heartbeat was regular and gentle as if his consciousness had been imprisoned and locked up sowhere in this body. At this ti, this body had already been taken over by another consciousness, a person who was not related to him...
‘Who are you! Who are you really!!!’
Murphy’s heart kept yelling, but he still could only watch as he walked out of the toilet, and then headed straight toward the core of the laboratory.
That was, the location of Adam, the quantum computer...
“I want to enter the quantum core area.”
When this body ca to a glass door that looked like an elevator booth, it suddenly stopped and spoke to the security guard in front of the door, “Right now.”
“Sir Murphy, is there sothing urgent?”
The security guard knew Murphy and imdiately asked with so confusion.
“Yes, it’s very urgent.”
Murphy nodded.
“Understood.”
The security guard replied and then walked into the cubicle that was made of transparent glass.
Murphy also stepped forward and walked in.
As the two entered, the once-transparent cubicle flashed once, gaining a translucent appearance, and only the faint outlines of the two inside could be seen.
This was the final round of inspection.
“Please take off all your clothes and accessories.”
The security guard reminded him. Murphy did not hesitate to strip himself naked and exposed his whole body in front of the security guard.
The reason for this was that this place was a crucial part of the quantum laboratory and must not receive any radiative interference. X-rays were, of course, no exception.
At this point, the security guard thoroughly inspected Murphy from head to toe including every crevice and every orifice of his body...
It was not until ten minutes later that Murphy put on a dust-free suit and walked out of the cubicle.
After that, a completely transparent elevator door opened.
“Murphy” did not notice until he walked into the elevator that this elevator was completely suspended in thin air, with only two layers of glass doors touching each other. As he entered, the elevator also shook slightly. Following that, it did not rise but moved horizontally.
On the opposite side of the elevator was a laboratory completely suspended in the air by electromagnetics.
In other words, the Quantum Deity Laboratory was divided into two layers. The first layer was like a box. Inside this box, there was another box. There was a seven-ter separation between the two boxes.
The real inner “box” was where the quantum computer resided!
Upon seeing this amazing sight, “Murphy” still had on a poker face as if he had gotten used to this.
“Ding, the elevator is starting, and it is crossing the vacuum partition. Please stand still and try not to move, so as not to affect the electromagnetic elevator.”
An electronic voice sounded inside the elevator. Murphy just watched the elevator slowly shift until it reached the inner “box” and connected firmly with another glass door.
Imdiately, there was another “ding” and the electronic voice ca again. “You have reached the quantum core area, please leave the electromagnetic elevator.”
With that, the elevator door opened with a “swoosh” and he had officially arrived at the quantum core area.
“Murphy” walked off the elevator without rushing and looked around, only to observe that the so-called quantum core area was an empty room. This room was about 100 square ters in size and surrounded by golden wrapping. It looked brightly lit and extrely fancy.
The entire room was empty but there were caras everywhere above his head. “Murphy” believed that there must be dozens of people standing in front of so screen at this ti, monitoring his every move.
Still, all these were not important anymore. “Murphy” turned his head and looked around and saw an unknown object also made of a golden material in the very center of the room.
“Murphy” certainly knew what this object was. It was the quantum computer that could predict and anticipate everything — Adam.
At this ti, the entirety of “Adam” was protected by a transparent protective cover. Anyone with a normal IQ would believe that, without the assistance of any weapons, one’s physical body alone could never destroy this tough protective layer that was sturdier than bulletproof glass.
Nonetheless, in a corner of the protective layer, where it overlapped with the quantum computer, there was a small opening. From this opening, a socket protruded. It seed that sothing could be inserted in it.
At this mont, “Murphy” was standing right in front of the quantum computer “Adam”...
