Even guesses aren’t made without groundwork; there are always examples to aid judgnt.
"Entry Value." Wolf explained, "ntal will is related to entry values, but the relationship isn’t fixed. Based on the researcher’s speculation, ntal will might only be related to certain entries and not absolutely linked to the overall entry value."
He paused for a mont, "And the thod to confirm this is... torture."
"Hmm?" Jiang Shu was startled.
"Torturing those prosthetic body modifiers at the boundary value, using the duration of their endurance as a standard to categorize the strength of their ntal will, has led to such speculations," Wolf said, his expression revealing neither joy nor sorrow, "Strong entry, strong ntal will, a large load of prosthetic bodies."
After he had explained the background context, he then elaborated on what he ant before, "That’s why, if the ntal will hasn’t reached a certain strength, mounting a prosthetic body like Gary’s will highly likely result in Cyber Syndro."
"And that’s exactly why I focus on training. It’s only through comprehensive training and enhancing oneself can one beco stronger." Wolf even flexed his muscles as he spoke, chuckling, "Rather than blindly pursuing powerful prosthetic bodies to enhance combat abilities, it’s better to honestly improve one’s quality. Without sufficient personal quality, having a prosthetic body is useless."
"I understand, but where did you hear these conclusions?" Jiang Shu suddenly thought of soone, soone he was relatively familiar with.
Ryan, the scapegoat ’fox’ in the bank heist.
It seed he was quite knowledgeable about prosthetic bodies and Cyber Syndro.
a sort of mad scientist.
"It’s been a while, it used to be just an urban legend-like rumor, but last ti the police station had sorted out that fake fox Ryan’s experint records. He conducted experints, and although there weren’t many samples, they were quite convincing," Wolf seed to understand Jiang Shu’s thoughts and answered directly.
"I got it." Jiang Shu nodded to indicate his understanding, yet he did not ask Wolf for these experint records.
The fox’s side definitely had the records, not just the experint logs, but also the Cyber Syndro hypnotic therapies that Ryan had been researching.
And according to the fox, he had successfully experinted before, but the result wasn’t the cure for Cyber ntal illnesses.
Instead, it was the personality loss of those with Cyber ntal illnesses, turning them into half-chanical beings without autonomous thought.
Of course, at least in Jiang Shu’s view, this tool-like dead state was much preferable to allowing those with Cyber Syndro to violently attack the citizens of Lonely City.
It was fair to say that not many of those suffering from Cyber ntal illnesses were normal; the condition was like addictive drugs, known to be dangerous yet still pursued obstinately by extremists.
Gary’s case of losing half his body in an accident could still garner sympathy, but those who willingly dismber their limbs for power and consequentially turn into cases of Cyber ntal illnesses didn’t deserve pity.
"When do we leave?" Jiang Shu followed up Wolf’s words, as he too needed to make so preparations.
"The sooner, the better, I’m actually here to get you," Wolf said earnestly, "There’s a pursuit operation against the Rift tomorrow, and we’ve already prepared the bait."
"Bait? Fishing law enforcent?" Jiang Shu was slightly stunned.
Wolf nodded, "No choice, Tang is more anxious than us."
And Jiang Shu understood what Wolf ant. Within the systems of the Lonely City Police Departnt, except for the trade of addictive drugs, other forms of fishing law enforcent weren’t allowed.
This ti, the capture of Rift Gary seed urgent for Police Chief Tang Hexun to the extent that he was willing to breach police rules.
It was indeed characteristic of Police Chief Tang Hexun.
"Since that’s the case... alright, I’ll go with you tonight." Jiang Shu pondered briefly before agreeing, he indeed had matters to attend to, but they were generally related to dealings with the TV station and so issues regarding the establishnt of dia, entertainnt, and publishing companies.
These tasks actually didn’t require his personal presence; the matters of the television station could be entrusted to Sister i, he only needed to provide his requirents; the establishnt of companies could be handled by Tablet Spirits.
Compared to that, the matters concerning Gary seed more urgent, and he also wanted to know a lot of things.
For instance.
How did Mr. Yaxi, Black Kler, know he possessed the "Calm" entry?

"Drip-drip—"
The cold droplet of water again fell on the girl’s head, and at that instant, she awoke with a start, rising from the chair and looking around at the surrounding darkness with panic in her eyes.
Why was she here?
The air was saturated with the stench of decay, with only the sound of the water drops hitting the puddles in the boundless gloom, beyond that, all her senses— hearing, vision, and sll—seed as if they were stripped away, unable to perceive any useful information.
"Splash." Her feet stepped into a shallow pool of water, splashing and causing mud to cling to her socks, and the dirty water seeped in, becoming a sticky gunk between her toes.
She felt a sincere chill.
But unlike the kidnap scenes she had seen in films and TV shows, her freedom wasn’t compromised, she had rely fainted on the chair, a loose rope tied around her waist to prevent her from falling off the chair while unconscious.
