C38 (1/2)
My dad and Shuyue immediately went to another hospital, and the results of the examination were the same — the EEG scanner failed.
Fortunately, Shuyue was a Master of Biology in Ocean Return, and was once one of the goddesses of the male scientists in Massachusetts. It didn't take much time to get in touch with an alumnus who was doing brain neurology research in Beijing and whose research institute represented the highest level of brain nerves in China at that time.
”That's too weird, your brain waves are different from normal people's.” After examining Shuyue in detail, the school friend turned pale with fright.
The human brain waves we refer to can be divided into Alpha, Beta, Delta waves, and so on by frequency. The machines look like electrocardiograms when they are drawn.
Alpha waves and Beta waves are the frequencies that our brains emit when we are conscious. The waveforms of other frequencies are emitted in unconscious situations, such as sleep.
It's the same thing as listening to a radio station. When we relax, the frequency of our Beta waves is between 12.5 and 16 hertz. It's like there's a radio station that's always playing lyrical pure music. At high alert, Beta was in the 20-28 hertz zone, as if another radio station was always running horror stories.
There were also some subconscious brainwaves, like some indistinct and jabbering Buddhist radio stations. The signals weren't good, and they were emotionless except for chanting every day.
Our brains randomly switch between these stations every day, and their hertz is our brainwave.
But no matter how much our brains switch, the radio band is from FM 87.5 to FM 108.0. We twist it back and forth, in this band, and each station is single.
But Shuyue's brain waves had two waves at every frequency.
In other words, in addition to FM, her brain received AM, and both stations were playing at the same time.
”You're not crazy?!” Shuyue's alumni were simply in disbelief.
Imagine if I had two radios, FM news and AM Arabic music turned up loud at the same time. Any normal person would go crazy even after a few days, let alone a lifetime of listening to it.
However, Shuyue was completely fine.
”My deduction is correct. You are the only one who can protect her.” My father said excitedly.
”So I can't read your brainwave?” I almost flipped the Coke off the table.
”Yes.” After your dad died, only I knew who could go into the vault. The vault must have two people entering at the same time. One of them must be you, Wangwang — It controlled your mother to make you follow it willingly. Like the seven-way maze in your room, the safe code can only be entered once. If you are forced to enter it, you may deliberately enter it wrong — the contents of the safe will automatically be destroyed. So I lied on purpose so that it would feel like it only had to lie to you again. That way I'll have a chance to save both of you. ”
Shuyue said in a deep voice, ”Actually, when your mother had mysteriously disappeared from the hospital, I knew that she had to be forty-three, and that your mother was already prepared to be manipulated by her — if I were to speak the truth last night, and only the two of us can open the vault, what do you think he would do to your mother? For forty-three, the only use she has left is to force us both to submit — do you remember how your mother broke two fingers just to force your father to obey? ”
What would he do to my mother if he found out she was no longer of any use?
I suddenly remembered that when my mother brought me out of Shuyue's house, she asked me:
”Do you know how to open the safe?”
”I... Shuyue said that you and I must be able to open the safe. ”
”That's good.”
When my mother heard my answer, she let out a long breath and seemed to smile in satisfaction.
If the answer at that time was ”I have to open the safe with Shuyue”, then she would probably use my mother to force me to bring Shuyue here.
As for how he would use it to coerce me, I didn't even dare to think about it. It was as if I heard the sound of two fingers breaking at the same time, causing my hair to stand on end.
”If he uses your mother to coerce us, we have no chance of winning. So I'm trying to convince you that you and your mother are the ones who can get into the vault — you have to say the truth to fool him. I'll figure out a way to get you out of the vault when you're there. We'll have to get the blood of God before we have a chance to negotiate with it to get your mother back. ”
”Damn, why are you trying to find a way to get me out of here!” I was the one who ran out with my wits, okay? If I didn't find out that there was something wrong with my mother, I would have ran out myself. Now, I have become a steamed bun that is steamed along with the steamed bun! ”
”What Soup Dumplings?” Shuyue was startled.
”Have you ever seen Soup Dumplings climb out of the steamer by himself? ”Everyone sent it with a white face. If we can't escape, we'll be crushed by the big steamed bun!”
Okay, I admit I don't know what I'm talking about. I've been tense, but I'm really hungry now.
”Didn't you notice that your mother has not been in good spirits since she entered the underground vault? I was the one who lured 43 away. The further away from your mom, the weaker your control will be. The more likely you are going to find out … ”
”Do you know how dangerous that is? What if my IQ isn't online today? ”Then I will still become a Soup Dumplings!”
”I admit that it's very risky like this, but you have the experience of a Uncle Wang and have also read your father's diary. Besides, UBSC is the world's most secure safe company. Even if it turns out your mom isn't a person who can get into the vault, he wouldn't dare to do anything too outrageous in the face of hundreds of monitors and state-of-the-art security systems. It wasn't good for him to make a scene. Even more so, it would not dare to hurt you. As long as you are lucky, it will not be able to be taken out. ”
”Then what should we do next?”
”We'll go and get it in the afternoon. It'll find our — God's blood. It's our only chip now.” Shuyue said.
”Give me the money.” I spread my hands. ”I want to buy two more hamburgers.”
”If I can't read your brain, why didn't my dad just give you the code to the vault? ”Why is the design so complicated?” I asked as I ate my hamburger.
”Because it's you your father wants to protect, not me.” Shuyue sighed, ”If I can take this out, you and your mother would be of no use to him. It can control both of you at any time and use you to threaten me … Your father sacrificed a lot to protect you … ”
The time went back to the end of 1988. The year I was born.
Atlanta Airport.
”Attention, all passengers, the flight to China from Atlanta has begun.” An elegant female voice came from the loudspeaker in the departure lounge.
On a bench in the departure lounge, there was a Chinese couple. The wife handed her husband a baby that didn't seem to be a full year old and handed him a ID bag from her schoolbag.
”Lina, the password that I told you to rewrite with the Thousand Character Classic, is it done?” my father asked as he received the ID.
”It's finished. It's sealed in this envelope.” My mother pulled a yellow envelope from her bag and handed it to my father.
”Hmm, leave these documents in my custody.” My father carefully put the envelope away. ”Then, do you mind if I take the birth certificate of the child and board the plane first?”
”I won't eavesdrop... Lei, are we really going to do this? ” my mother asked.
Without a word, my father lightly shook my mother's hand.
