Chapter 242 Source Code? Am I a robot?
Chapter 242 Source Code? Am I a robot?
"Is the source code on me?"
"Did they capture me alive back then so they could perform brain surgery?!"
These words, like a vicious curse, lingered in the extremely quiet cabin for a long time.
Lin Zhou stared intently at the few lines of bloody, bold text on the screen, feeling as if all the blood in his body had been completely drained in that instant.
An unprecedented, extreme paranoia and panic, like countless cold, venomous snakes, frantically crawled up from the soles of his feet, tightly coiling around his heart.
Craniotomy.
Live cell extraction.
Neuron compression.
These anti-human terms, which only exist in cyberpunk science fiction movies, were now actually printed on the assassination order targeting him!
Lin Zhou's breathing became extremely rapid.
He almost subconsciously raised his hand and nervously touched the back of his head.
Long, slender fingers ran through the black hair, pressing the scalp firmly with the pads of the fingers, tracing the edge of the skull inch by inch downwards.
From the Yuzhen acupoint, I felt all the way down to the extremely fragile cervical vertebrae.
The scar was not stitched up.
There is no foreign object sensation like a metal chip.
Only warm skin and pulsating blood vessels.
But this physical completeness did not relieve Lin Zhou; instead, it caused extreme doubt to grow wildly in his heart like weeds!
"If it's not a hardware chip implant, could it be some kind of nanoscale liquid biological computer?"
Lin Zhou suddenly stood up from the leather sofa, pacing anxiously back and forth in the spacious cabin like a trapped beast.
Everything that has happened in the past seven years is just too bizarre!
He had always thought that he suddenly possessed extraordinary musical talent, god-like hacking skills, and even the kind of inhuman killing ability he had just displayed at the abandoned dock.
It's all because of the so-called "time travel" and that mysterious "system".
But now, when this top-secret appendix is laid out before us...
Lin Zhou's worldview began to shake violently!
The original owner suffered brain damage in a car accident seven years ago, losing all his memories and becoming a well-known good-for-nothing, even having to become a live-in son-in-law of the Su family to survive.
Then one day, he suddenly "woke up".
A vast treasure trove of entertainment from Earth suddenly appeared in my mind, along with countless top-tier skills that can only be described as miraculous!
Is this really just a coincidence?
Isn't this the perfect embodiment of what was described in that top-secret appendix—"compressing a massive technology tree into neurons in the form of code"?!
Lin Zhou stopped and turned around abruptly, staring intently at Old Chen on the video communication screen.
Those deep, peach-blossom eyes were filled with terrifyingly red blood vessels.
"Uncle Chen!"
Lin Zhou's voice was terribly hoarse, as if he had swallowed a handful of shards of glass.
"Get me the records immediately! I need all my medical records from seven years ago!"
Old Chen on the other side of the screen was terrified by Lin Zhou's crazy, ghost-like appearance.
"Young Master, please calm down! What exactly are you suspecting?"
Old Chen was sweating profusely, his hands flying across the keyboard as he tried to access the Lin Group's top-secret medical database.
"I'm starting to doubt whether I'm even a normal person anymore!"
Lin Zhou braced his hands on the mahogany table, staring intently at the screen, his chest heaving violently.
"Uncle Chen, think carefully about what happened seven years ago before the car accident."
"In the month before the accident, did my father take me to see any particularly special doctors? Or did I experience any prolonged periods of unconsciousness?"
Lin Zhou's words were like a bolt of lightning, suddenly shattering Old Chen's long-buried memories.
Old Chen's fingers froze as he typed on the keyboard.
An incredibly shocked expression appeared on his wrinkled old face.
"have……"
Old Chen swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
"Young master, if you hadn't brought it up, this old servant would never have connected these two things together."
"It was just a week before that multi-vehicle collision."
"The master suddenly lost his temper and dismissed the entire top-notch medical team that the Lin family was stationed with without warning."
Old Chen looked at Lin Zhou on the screen, his eyes revealing a deep-seated fear.
"That night, the master personally led the team."
"A group of foreign experts dressed in fully enclosed biohazard suits were secretly brought in through the back door!"
"They brought extremely large and complex medical equipment directly into your bedroom!"
"A full six hours!"
Old Chen's voice rose eight octaves, as if he had returned to that oppressive night.
"During those six hours, your bedroom was completely sealed off, and I wasn't even allowed to get close."
"After the group of experts left the next morning, the master claimed to the public that he had only given you an extremely thorough full-body allergen screening."
"But young master, after that 'screening,' you had a high fever for three whole days and remained in a deep coma!"
"boom!"
Old Chen's words completely shattered the last shred of hope in Lin Zhou's heart.
A six-hour closed-door surgery!
Three days of high fever and coma!
This is not an allergen screening at all!
This is absolutely the core implantation process of that "source code" project back then!
Lin Zhou's legs suddenly went weak, and he slumped down onto the leather sofa.
He raised his hands and stared blankly at his long, strong fingers.
These hands can play the most beautiful piano music in the world, type out hacker code that can destroy billions of dollars in conglomerates, and also ruthlessly snap an enemy's neck.
But now, Lin Zhou felt that these hands were so unfamiliar.
"so……"
Lin Zhou tugged at the corners of his mouth, letting out an extremely desolate and self-mocking laugh.
"I am not some chosen one who transmigrated with a system at all."
"Am I a super monster that my own father transformed into a human-shaped, self-propelled USB drive?"
"All the music, movies, and technology on Earth were just initial data from that incredible project by the K Organization?"
"I'm a cyborg with a supercomputer inside me?!"
This profound cognitive upheaval made Lin Zhou feel an unprecedented sense of nausea and fear.
If he really is a monster.
What exactly is it that Su Qingge hugs every night?
Is the "Daddy" that Nuonuo sweetly calls out to every day just an extremely complex biological program code?!
"No! Young master! You are definitely a living, breathing person!"
Old Chen was so anxious on the other side of the screen that he was almost crying.
He finally retrieved all the medical records from seven years ago and quickly projected them onto the screen in front of Lin Zhou.
"Look! This is your brain MRI and full-body CT scan before the accident!"
"Everything is normal! There's no metallic residue! No signs of mechanical modification!"
"The master treats you as the only lifeblood of the Lin family; how could he possibly turn you into a robot!"
Lin Zhou suddenly leaned closer to the screen, staring intently at the complex medical images.
The brainstem was grayish-white, with perfectly normal sulci and gyri, showing absolutely no abnormalities.
But this did not dispel Lin Zhou's obsession.
"What if this is the highest level of bio-nanotechnology?"
Lin Zhou gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with extremely painful bloodshot veins.
"That technology can integrate perfectly into neurons, making it undetectable by ordinary CT scans!"
"If that's the case, then why hasn't the Black Bishop of the K Organization given up tracking me for seven years?"
"Because they have an extremely special detection frequency! They must know that I have this world-destroying nuclear bomb in my head!"
Lin Zhou slammed his fist on the mahogany table.
The extremely hard tabletop was smashed open, leaving a glaring crack!
If that's the case, then Qingge and Nuonuo's current situation is ten thousand times more dangerous than he imagined!
The K organization would never allow a carrier full of "source code" to roam freely outside.
In order to extract what's in his brain, this pack of mad dogs will stop at nothing to tear apart all the bonds that bind him!
Just as Lin Zhou was caught in extreme self-doubt and irritability, almost pulling out a pistol and shooting himself in the head to see if what was flowing out was blood or engine oil.
suddenly!
"drop--"
A crisp, cold, yet strangely human-like, helpless mechanical sound.
It suddenly and abruptly resounded in the deepest part of Lin Zhou's mind!
Along with this notification, a huge red exclamation mark suddenly popped up on Lin Zhou's retina!
[Warning! Severe logical disorder detected in the host's mental state!]
[Warning! The host is falling into extreme and absurd self-doubt, which is about to trigger the system protection mechanism!]
Lin Zhou froze instantly.
He stared blankly at the flashing red light screen in the air.
system?
Could it be that the "source code" program within my body triggered an error alarm due to the intense emotional fluctuations?
Before Lin Zhou could even come to his senses...
That cold voice that used to only appear when issuing tasks or exchanging skills.
At this moment, it spoke directly in his mind in an extremely disdainful tone.
"Warning! The host is a 100% carbon-based life form. Please stop your absurd speculations."
