Zhang Qianli slammed the box shut, and the air-conditioning stopped suddenly, but what he had seen before would not disappear from his mind. A corpse pointing at the bridge of his nose was probably the last thing Zhang Qianli wanted to see now. Fear stretched out his hand and grasped

It caught his throat.

"Hiss... don't panic, it's just a corpse. Water, protein, fat, calcium... there are no undead in space."

He felt uncomfortable all over, and pressed his hands on the box. Not only to support his suddenly weak body, but also to close the lid tightly. Alex's body caused the originally fused memories to crack again, and Zhang Qianqian's self-perception gradually split into

Two: one is an earthling who doesn't know how he got here, and the other is a composite evolved human who has lived on a starship for 22 years. The previous sense of coordination of the body and the ability to control the surrounding environment have gradually diminished.

"What happened? Why...why did Alex die in the box? Who killed him?"

Zhang Qianqian was unwilling to admit that the most likely murderer was himself at the scene of the crime, but it was so important to understand his own situation that he had to pursue it. He mustered up the courage to reopen the lid of the box with stiff fingers, forcing himself to

Look at the body in the box.

The frozen finger was still pointing at it, but as long as the angle was changed, all its dying emotions could only be vented to the ceiling, which made Zhang Qianqian feel a lot more relaxed. Take a closer look at the corpse inside. Alex's appearance was similar to that of Zhang Qianqian.

They are 90% similar, except that their skin color is paler and there are more evolution plug-ins on their heads and various parts of their bodies.

"Everything else doesn't matter. The most important thing is the brain-controlled body." Zhang Qianqian breathed into his fingers, then pulled the corpse's frozen head hard to expose the back of the head. A piece of familiar yet unfamiliar brain-controlled body device grew there, bulging.

The remaining parts were still glowing. Alex Fix C2 was dead, but the brain control body was still alive to a certain extent.

Just like controlling the lights in the bathroom, Zhang Qianqian put his finger on it, and the two brain-controlled bodies established a connection.

---Memory backup found, do you want to transfer it?---

Zhang Qianqian pulled his hand back quickly, as if he had been stabbed by a needle. He stood up, covered his mouth with a fist, and began to pace back and forth in the narrow room. Now he knew where Alex's memory came from, and it must have

It is this kind of memory backup and transfer between brain-controlled bodies. But there is still a lot of more critical information that is completely unknown.

"How did I get on the starship? When was the brain control body installed? How did Alex die?"

The answers to these questions may be hidden in the memory backup of the deceased's brain-controlled body, but Zhang Qianqian is not afraid to think about the problem from the worst angle. With his own character, he will not accept being taken by aliens on the spacecraft.

To do transformation, and it involves transformation of the brain.

Composite evolutionary human society has the custom of capturing slaves for experimentation and use as tools, so Zhang Qianqian temporarily believes that he is also one of the captured slaves, then the brain-controlled body transformation is most likely also forced. "If this conjecture is true,

Really, then my current awakening is most likely caused by one of Alex’s failed experiments, and Alex’s death is also the result of his own resistance. But does this mean... I killed someone?”

Humph, just kill him!

The idea that came up was a bit abrupt, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully. Zhang Qianqian felt that there were two emotions conflicting in his mind, one coming from the young race standing on the ground looking up and yearning for the stars, and the other coming from the few people floating in the dark starry sky.

A powerful society for 100,000 years.

"Is a fish that has landed on the beach still called a fish?" Zhang Qianqian stopped and looked at the body in the box. "If it doesn't change after landing on the beach, can the fish still live?"

Emotional instability has just occurred, which is a manifestation of the decline in the degree of memory and emotional integration of two different individuals. According to the knowledge of compound evolved humans, this kind of performance is a dangerous sign of "advanced failure", which in severe cases can cause mental

Collapse, causing the brain and brain-controlled body to repel each other, even leading to death.

In addition to being afraid of death, Zhang Qianqian also needs Alex's knowledge and habits to survive. Composite evolved humans are a very powerful race, and what is more famous than their strong military combat capabilities is their exclusive social atmosphere. In their eyes,

, those who complete the transformation are our own people, and the others are just materials or enemies.

The brain-controlled body occupies an extremely important position in the life of a composite evolved human. If there is a problem with it, Zhang Qianli will have no way to live as a composite evolved human. It will be discovered soon, and death will inevitably follow. Zhang Qianli

He cannot take off the brain control body alive, he can only live with it.

His only choice is to live.

"Receiving Alex's memory can trigger the fusion again. The previous one was passive, but this time I need to accept it actively. All choices must be based on reality. The risk of memory fusion again is objective, but for my first time

Once you get through it, you already have a foundation for partial integration, so the risk will be smaller the second time.”

Zhang Qianqian took a deep breath, made up his mind, and without hesitation reached out his hand again, placed it on Alex's brain-controlled body, and whispered: "Give me legs for shore use."

The memory resurfaced again, this time deeper but also more blurry - real memories lack details, and their core is more about reproduced emotions. Zhang Qianqian's fingertips gently touched the surface of the brain-controlled body, and Ariel

X merged in.

"I am Alex Fix Millennium Zhang now. The class code C2 only belongs to the past. My class is myself."

His eyes flashed with the light of the test, and the frozen brain control body quickly failed and lost all its light.

---The transfer is completed and the database connection is successful. You have permission to obtain knowledge, please select a category---

Composite evolved humans can download knowledge and information through their brain-controlled bodies, but they can only be used as reference books and not truly "learned". Alex's previous work was in research on "language and emotion compression".

The control body is full of these things, occupying almost all the storage space. The new brain control body is obviously more advanced and still has room to continue to store knowledge.

"Don't worry, just choose it when you need it."

---Unable to maintain long-term connection, please make a choice immediately---

The brain-controlled body issued a very rare urge, which was not in line with the cognition of composite evolved humans. Zhang Qianqian was stunned for a moment like Alex, and then thought of the even more rare blackout around him - once in 320,000 years.

"It seems that I have to choose now. There is no store like this after passing this village... Well, in space, the knowledge of space ships is the most important, and it is also what I want most. Language and emotional compression are of no use at all.

.”

--- Start receiving, over capacity, your size is too small, start to compress language and emotions, compression in progress, compression in progress ---

Well, "language and emotion compression" is still useful, especially for people with too small brain capacity. Zhang Qianqian found that he was actually being complained about by the brain-controlled body parts, but he could not complain back, nor could he stop the process.

, I have to wait patiently. Fortunately, this process does not affect physical actions and daily thinking.

"From now on, I am Alex, and all my habits must be based on Alex. First of all, I must trust my intuitive reaction."

His intuition now told him that he should clean up the blood stains on the floor, then open the secret door on the wall to see what was going on in the laboratory on the other side.

Alex is a researcher. His main research direction is "language and emotional compression". In other words, the impact of poetry, songs and other language forms on emotions. He is considered a "liberal arts student". However, his personal interest is in brain control of the body.

Research on promotion and physical fitness.

Composite evolved humans are divided into six levels. The highest is the "zero-level world", which is a powerful collective intelligence and the immortal stage of composite evolved humans. After that, they are sorted alphabetically from A to E. The newly cultivated composite evolved humans and

All creatures that have the potential to undergo upgrading transformation are of type E. After the first transformation with a suitability of more than 90%, they will be advanced to level D, which is equivalent to the adult stage of the organism. After that, they will continue to improve until they reach the top of level A.

, in order to choose the right opportunity to join the collective intelligence "zero-order world".

Each class is divided into six to nine layers, which mainly involve the division of labor on the starship and are related to income. But as long as you have a sufficient understanding of the society of composite evolved people, you will find that the smaller the number, the greater the impact on the entire society.

The greater the value, the higher the possibility of advancement.

Alex is currently at level C2. He is only a few steps away from entering level B and becoming a member of the management team. However, he has been stuck at level C for a long time. Among his batch of composite evolved people, he is the first

A person who has entered the D-level of adulthood should have taken care of his other brothers and sisters. However, due to his stagnation, his brothers and sisters did not receive enough care, and most of them failed to advance. In the end, only the qualified ones were left.

Next two.

His C2 level and that B1 level powerful sister.

After that, Alex spent almost all his energy on advancement, trying to improve the adaptability of his brain-controlled body and move up the class as soon as possible. He spent most of his savings to renovate his residence, built a small laboratory and camouflaged the walls.

Hide it. The brain-controlled body is the core property of composite evolved humans. It belongs to the entire race and society, not to individuals, so any modification to it is strictly illegal. Alex can only conduct his own experiments secretly.

.

In his memory, Alex would delete test records on a daily basis to avoid being inadvertently discovered by the Zero-Order World and exposing his illegal activities. However, he would record some of the more critical information in encrypted notes, mixed in to kill a lot of time.

In literary works. Therefore, there are many books stored in the terminal system of Alex's laboratory, with various emotional texts attached to them. It may seem like they are lyrical, but in fact they are the process of his continuous murder experiments.

Yes, he also spent a large part of his income to buy slaves on starships for experiments.

Yes, this is how Zhang Qianqian came to be.

No one can remember every detail clearly, only the important ones will be profound. How Zhang Qianli was bought, how he was tortured and experimented on, these are not important. On the other hand, Zhang Qianli is equally unimportant.

Remember this experience. The only answers can only be found in those encrypted test logs disguised as notes.

"I am Alex, so this important part of knowledge cannot be missing." He came to the wall and lightly pressed his finger on the featureless blank space.

---Connection interrupted, starship core restarting, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, recovery ---

The buzzing sound behind the wall suddenly became louder, and the aperture on the ceiling also flickered twice and then bloomed with light. With a heavy gasp, the Evolver H starship woke up from the shock, and the energy of three compressed Dyson spheres washed through every corner.

.

"Is the power restored at this time? It's convenient."

The wall slowly lifted up, and some blood slowly flowed out from the gaps. Zhang Qianqian looked at the blood now, feeling a little uncomfortable deep in his heart, but his body and spirit were fully adapted. His hands beat the rhythm easily on the edge of his pants,

Wait for the dark wall to fully rise.

---Access communication, enforce execution---

Suddenly, a holographic image of a woman was projected on the desk, with an anxious expression on her beautiful face.

"Ike! The blackout didn't affect you, right? I'm near you, I'll be there soon!"
Chapter completed!
