The laboratory fell silent, and Jiang Jianming did not speak.

The silence at this time undoubtedly added something heavy to the air.

Garcia's Adam's apple moved, and he slowly let go of Jiang Jianming and took two steps forward, looking at the data on the screen - he didn't want to see Jiang Jianming's expression at this time, or maybe he simply didn't dare.

"...At the beginning, when I learned that you were the crown prince's widow, I was very...I couldn't accept it."

Garcia wiped the words "Lyan Keos was born" with his fingers, and whispered.

"But there is nothing wrong with you. It's my mental imbalance, because I want to have something in the world that can be purely for me to monopolize, and you like me too much."

like.

This ambiguous word was said lightly, without sweet atmosphere, hugs and kisses, no flowers or diamond rings, let alone blessings.

Only the faint, cold laboratory lights.There are only layers of misty clouds that invisibly lie between the two, and the huge gap called life and death.

"...also because I hate being a programmed human being."

Garcia still didn't look back, "Lai An fell in love with you, so I can't escape."

Jiang Jianming took a step forward: "Your Highness, listen to me. The only thing that can be copied by cloning technology is genetic characteristics. I don't believe..."

Garcia suddenly emphasized his tone: "—but how to find my place in this world is something I have to consider, not you."

"Lai An can die thousands of times, and after death, he will be copied thousands of times and each of them will fall in love with you... But can you also resurrect thousands of times and love him thousands of times!?"

"..."

Jiang Jianming was silent again.

"That deal still counts." Garcia said hoarsely.

"I can be your weapon forever, and countless others after me will certainly be the same... as long as you are willing to stop."

"If you're chasing the truth for yourself, you should take advantage of that, you're a smart guy, you know what I mean."

This monster created in the base laboratory has surrendered to you, the prince said with a lonely back.

Whether this pair of minions or this love, they are all available for you to drive.As long as you are willing to cure the disease, as long as you can live.

"..."

The silence continued.

The prince endured and did not look back, all he could say and do was here, and he was waiting almost torturously for a result.

After a long time, Garcia heard the rubbing of clothes corners behind him, and it was Jiang Jianming who turned and left.Footsteps sounded, steadily getting further and further away from him.

"..." Garcia's face was tense, almost gnashing his teeth.The emerald-like pupils reflected a bleak blue light, without blinking.

He just listened to Jiang Jianming walk out, the door closed, taking away the light in a bunch, and darkness came from all directions.

gone.

really gone?

"..."

Garcia sat on the ground slowly, resting his forehead against a corner of the glass chamber, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if enduring some kind of irresistible pain.

His fingers were still resting on the edge of the instrument, and the knuckles were protruding blue at this moment, trembling finely.He thought that Jiang Jianming would at least coax him a few words before leaving.

But at the same time, he clearly knew in his heart that this was a difficult task——

The lover who was supposed to be lost and found again turned out to be a monster experimental subject, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Jiang Jianming.Perhaps he should be more thankful that the sick and disabled man didn't faint on the spot.

Anyway... Seeking benevolence, now he has nothing.

I don't know how long it has passed, and in the darkness, a slight regret surfaced in heart, and it soon became more and more serious: If knew it would turn out like this, what would be the point of the unilateral cold war in those days.

He still wants to hug him, he still wants to hear his gentle voice, and he still misses the tender night the two of them spent together in the starship, that dim bedside lamp.

I knew it earlier... Garcia closed his eyes and thought to himself, so what if knew it earlier?This is the result that was doomed from the beginning of their encounter.

If the time is rewound, what he will do is to drag Jiang Jianming here earlier, and then——

……boom!

Garcia opened his eyes.

Without warning, the mechanical door behind him opened again.

The light that was taken away was projected into the laboratory again, and someone walked in, with a familiar atmosphere.

Garcia froze for a few seconds, and the footsteps stopped behind him.

Jiang Jianming stood behind Garcia, holding a thin stack of printing paper in one hand, and the blue light of the instrument faintly outlined the extremely handsome eyebrows.

He rubbed the latter's hair with his other hand, then tugged it gently, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, come and show me, are you crying?"

It was a perfect but gloomy face that was forced to turn around, and Garcia pinched the handicap's evil wrist: "What are you doing back here!"

"You should ask me why I left." Jiang Jianming said, "I went to find Seth in the mecha and got some things."

He sat down next to Garcia as he spoke, and put the paper in his hand on the floor: "You don't want to be manipulated by others, so you have to separate yourself from Lai An...I understand and admireYour persistence. But I can't back down."

Garcia interrupted him: "This is not the same thing as what I said, this is not important anymore..."

"It's one thing, listen to me." Jiang Jianming raised his head suddenly, his eyes seemed to reflect a sharp ice light.

"Three years. Every time you suffer from the emptiness of your past, I also suffer from the powerlessness I feel in the face of this fog."

"How many times have you been in pain, how many times have I been in pain."

Jiang Jianming's eyes were silent, and three years passed in them.

He looked directly at Prince Garcia who was sitting opposite him, and said An Ran: "At that time, I thought, no one else would jump into the flame for the truth, only me... I am alone."

"Just like in this world, you are the only one who wants to stick to the position of 'Garcia'."

"In this world, I am the only one who wants to find the location of 'Lai An'."

So this is a war, a war of two people.

Garcia gave up, and Garcia Caios ceased to exist in the world, leaving only unknown creations in the laboratory of the Black Shark Base, born for unknown reasons.

But Jiang Jianming gave up, and Lean Kios ceased to exist in the world, leaving only the so-called "Empire Crown Prince", a belief-based title, who died for unknown reasons.

"But you are inferior to me, Your Highness."

Jiang Jianming said warmly.

"You escaped from Black Shark Base, escaped from the empire, and escaped from the shadow of the name 'Lai An'. And I took the initiative to walk in."

"I can't blame you, after all, you are still young. But since you escaped, I will be the winner."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes, and calmly spread out the stack of papers on the floor one by one while talking, and the blue light danced at his fingertips.

He said contemptuous words to the noble prince, but his tone was more like relief, but this sense of contradiction was perfectly reconciled in this inorganic laboratory.

So Garcia was not irritated, but leaned closer and asked: "You still want to argue with me whether it is a problem of one person or thousands of people?"

"Yes, have you heard of the spiritual awareness projection technique?"

Jiang Jianming turned on his wrist phone and brought up a window.

It was an audio file, and he pressed the play button.

Garcia: "What?"

"Ginger?" A soft girlish voice came from the audio, "Why do you still want to record?"

Then came Jiang Jianming's voice: "Sorry, this is a very important thing, I may need to listen to it repeatedly."

Garcia frowned and looked at him: "This girl?"

Jiang Jianming said: "This is Miss Diana from the Lance family. I once visited her for your question."

"Oh. She seems very close to you."

"...Your point is wrong, please be serious, Your Highness."

"Then let me start from the beginning, ahem," Diana in the audio cleared her throat timidly, "Spiritual consciousness projection technology is a branch of neuroscience based on the study of crystal particles.Emerging disciplines are also what I am studying.”

"Of course, it is now generally accepted that the old empire has mastered this technology relatively maturely, and the evidence is the application of the mind manipulation system in the field of mechs. But we are all aware of the loss of technology caused by the founding war.Press don't mention..."

"Let me first talk about the principle of the spiritual consciousness projection technology."

The girl's eloquent voice echoed in the laboratory.Jiang Jianming has reviewed this audio many times, and he is familiar with the content. At this moment, he just silently handed the printed information to Garcia at the right time.

The audio was two hours long, but for a long period of time, Jiang Jianming asked questions from various angles, while Diana searched for books and listed various materials to answer.

Skip these useless passages, and skip passages that are too esoteric to understand.Only the most important conversations are selected, leaving about thirty minutes.

During these 30 minutes, Diana Lance gave an overview of the principles and historical origins of "spiritual awareness projection technology".

Everything still has to start with the crystal particles brought by the black wave radiation.

Why, under the premise of having the same nervous system, new humans can freely manipulate the crystal particles in their bodies, but disabled humans can't?

In the era of the old empire, scientists discovered an amazing phenomenon: there seems to be some kind of induction between crystal particles, and it can be preliminarily guessed that they interact through quantum entanglement.

So the following hypothesis emerged: New humans who have completed evolution can manipulate the rest of the crystal particles in the body through the crystal particles that make up the cranial nerves, making them less prone to out-of-control chaos; disabled humans who have failed to evolve do not have this ability.

At the same time, technology using crystal particle sensing has also flourished.Among them, the most eye-catching is the spiritual consciousness projection technology——

Trying to use crystal particles as a carrier to "project" the consciousness of a creature, that is, to transfer it from the original body to another body.

"You ask me, is it possible to use it to rescue dying people, and is it possible to cause sequelae of amnesia?"

Diana in the audio seemed to think about it, and then said softly: "It's possible, it's better to say that saving people is one of the application purposes of this technology."

"For example, if there is a patient who cannot be saved by current medicine, we can freeze the patient when he is dying, and project his consciousness to a spare body."

"Amnesia, I think the possibility is also very high. After all, the empire's technology in this area is still immature, and it is very likely that the induction will be unstable during projection, and the consciousness will not be able to carry such a huge amount of information."

"The induction is unstable?" Jiang Jianming asked again in the audio, "Can you explain this?"

"Ah, this is because the technology of spiritual consciousness projection still relies on the induction between crystal particles... You can imagine two piers, which respectively symbolize the patient's original body and the new body. The bridge is built on it, it is invisible, has an arbitrary length, which symbolizes crystal particle induction. But if too much information is transmitted and the bridge is not stable enough, of course it will collapse.”

"At the same time," Diana added, "if one of the piers collapses, the connection will be broken. For example, if the patient's original body cannot support death, the projection will also disappear, and the consciousness will die directly; if the new body dies, then the consciousness will be dragged back to the original body, um... it will also be a big damage."

Jiang Jianming seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and quickly asked: "The projected original body needs to keep alive? The prerequisite for stable consciousness projection is that the original body and the new body survive at the same time!?"

"Oh, of course." Diana smiled, "Jiang, this is not the resurrection technique in fantasy novels, and it is impossible to turn humans into foxes with nine lives."

"Just like the mental manipulation of the mecha that you have been interested in, if you shoot the driver in the temple, he will die of course. It is impossible to live in the mecha's system and continue to manipulate the battle, right? The reason is the same…——.”

Audio is cut off.

Jiang Jianming removed his finger from the pause button and clicked off: "The rest is not important." The laboratory suddenly returned to silence, only the breathing of two people remained.

Garcia stared blankly at Jiang Jianming, his expression couldn't be said to be in a trance, it was as if his soul had left his body.

"You mean to say," Garcia rolled his Adam's apple with difficulty, staring at the floor helplessly, "I'm Lai An's...consciousness...projection?"

This person had already thought of so much.

Garcia realized this belatedly.

When he fled in despair, Jiang Jianming was thinking, guessing, and reasoning. He was looking for clues and asking people for advice.

Then I waited silently, endured my venting, intimidating, and even heart-wrenching verbal violence again and again, and waited for the day when I was willing to confess.

How could this person... how could he do this?

"That's it, so it's one thing." Jiang Jianming said frankly.

"I won't look back... because I have to go to collect the body."

The black-haired young man had a slight smile on his brows and eyes. He propped his chin with one hand and tilted his head, and said with a disappointed expression: "It is very likely that it is a half-dead golden-haired little zombie sleeping near the crystal nest."

"But it's just..." Garcia said hoarsely, with curled eyelashes drooping, "Your guess."

"Yes." Jiang Jianming turned to the absent-minded prince beside him, "But if I can find him, I must give him a slap first—"

He stretched out his hand to rub his fur again, and asked with a wicked smile, "By the way, do you prefer spanking in the face or ass?"

The author has something to say:

Diana: This is not a fantasy novel.

Author: Shut up, this is fantasy fiction.

The whole article related to technology is nonsense, and quantum mechanics is the truth when things go wrong.
