"Stop! Ahhh! Why are you doing this! It's so painful! You'll be punished! "
The brilliant sunlight shone on the golden beach. The creature called the Scholar was doing something to a small creature in its hands. ● Pshh, pshh.
The Scholar was using a needle with sharp spikes to slowly pierce the shell of the small creature, approaching its brain …
This small creature was called a split-brain. Following the Scholar's actions, it screamed madly.
Of course, this scream was not a real sound. It was a brainwave that appeared directly in the Scholar's brain, so it sounded even louder.
"I'm going to die! Save me! Stop right now, you damned idiot! "
"… You haven't even pierced the shell yet, and you're already screaming so pitifully …" The Scholar felt that this thing was giving it a headache. Strangely, no matter how it 'screamed', its companions around it ignored it.
"Their screams are very loud. This means that their fear index is too high. It's an abnormal state," Cryopteris said beside the Scholar. "Quickly, stab it to death and suck out the brain."
"Noooooo!"
Just like that, the Scholar listened to the split-brain's screams as it slowly pierced the needle into its brain and slowly pulled out the thing inside.
"Ahhhhh! Help! I still want to live! I still don't want to … "
Even during this process, the creature continued to send out strong brainwaves. When its' voice 'slowly dissipated from the Scholar's brain, its brain was almost completely inside the needle.
"You dare to do something like this! We'll punish you! Prepare to die! Prepare for the descent of terror! "
At that moment, the Scholar noticed that the split-brains that had gathered together on the beach started to crawl towards it.
As they crawled, they uttered threatening words. Soon, they had all crawled to the Scholar's feet.
"What's wrong with them?" The Scholar felt that these things were very strange … They did not care about their companions before, but now after the Scholar was done with the split-brains, they came running over.
"Go to hell! Feel the pain! Can't move anymore! "
These split-brains gathered at the Scholar's feet. They kept using their small bodies to ram against the Scholar's armor, but it was to no avail …
They seemed to be even more abnormal than the Brain-Created Monsters. Most of the time, the Brain-Created Monsters were only abnormal in their speech, but these things had developed to the point where their behavior was abnormal as well.
"Ignore them and come back later," suggested Cryopteris. The Scholar walked out of the pile of items and ran to the aircraft parked nearby.
"Are you trying to escape? Damned thing, come and fight with us! Are you scared? You're not allowed to escape! I'm going to torture you to death! "
Under the threat of the split-brains, the Scholar quickly flew away from this place. The split-brains were still shouting non-stop.
What was the meaning of these things? The Scholar watched as the beach slowly disappeared from its sight … It was very puzzled by these creatures.
In short. It required detailed research … However, the scholar had a feeling that he wouldn't be able to understand it even if he did.
The Scholar controlled the aircraft and flew to the surface of the sea. Soon, it saw a small island in the distance.
This island was very small, about a hundred meters in diameter. It was purely made of rocks, without any plants. However, there were many flying creatures that stopped on it.
When the aircraft landed, these creatures flew up. The Scholar walked down from the aircraft and came to the center of the island.
There was a stone in this position. After the Scholar pushed the stone away, there was a … tunnel below.
"This is the temporary research institute that was built here a long time ago," said Cryopteris. "Even so, the things inside can be used … Okay, let's stop here," said Cryopteris.
"This place is quite big …"
The Scholar Scholar had now reached the end of the tunnel, and the Roaring Beetle jumped down from her shoulder. "Roll!" it yelled.
At this moment. The whole place suddenly lit up. The Scholar found that there were all kinds of machines here. These things were very similar to the ones it used in the Sea of Clouds.
"Then hurry up and inject that split-brain into the 'analysis tank' first."
According to Cryopteris, the Scholar injected the split-brain in the needle into a transparent tank …
After completing the first few steps, the Scholar finally turned on the imaging device, which showed a lot of detailed information.
"This can be analyzed in such detail …" The Scholar looked at the image and said with some surprise, "This can even see the memories?"
"I can only see a small part." Cryopteris said, "If you want to see the complete memory, you need to connect to the 'Dream Brain', but there's no need to see the memory now."
"Look at its brain. It's not dead … "
Hearing Cryopteris' words, the Scholar looked carefully at the image and found that the cells inside were actually … active.
The split-brain brain had been sucked into a paste by the needle. A normal creature would have died without a doubt. However, its brain cells didn't die … Instead, they were slowly moving around using a tentacle-like structure.
They intertwined their tentacles with each other as if they wanted to reassemble. It was a kind of creature called a 'sponge', but sponges did not have a brain and could only assemble simple cells.
"We can analyze them now."
Cryopteris poked the image a few times, and a large amount of data suddenly appeared. There was more detailed information in the data.
The information showed that these brain cells were slowly assembling into a complete structure. These structures could be divided into 'main thinking area', 'memory area', 'body function processing area', and so on …
"Their brain seems to be very complicated."
"Generally speaking, the more areas a creature has in its brain, the higher the 'intelligence' it has." Cryopteris said, "So you know, creatures without a 'language area' usually don't have a complicated language."
"Most of the areas of this' split-brain 'are complete, but there's one area that's not so perfect. This area can be called the' logic area '." Cryopteris said, "The flaw in this area explains why they did so many stupid things before."
"However, there's something else special about them."
Cryopteris pointed at a part that was being assembled and said, "This part has a special function."
The Scholar was puzzled. "Indeed, this part … I've never seen it in the brains of other creatures. What is this part used for?"
"I'm not too sure yet. We'll have to keep it here for further analysis." Cryopteris said, "During this time, we'll look for other special creatures. There are still some creatures' nuclei that need to be studied. Before you leave, take some things here to 'replenish'."
"… Then … That's it for now."
Then, the Scholar took a lot of things from the research institute and used some 'systems' to upgrade the armor on her body. Then, the Scholar left the place. However, the equipment in the research institute was still running automatically, and the researchers were automatically working.
…
After that, the Scholar continued to look for the remaining creatures with Cryopteris. These creatures were all very close, so the Scholar believed that they would be found soon.
About ten days and nights later …
"Finally, we've found them all!"
The Scholar once again returned to the research institute. Now, the syringes she brought were filled with blood and some other … substances.
She sat down in the research institute and then distributed the blood in the syringes. Then, together with Cryopteris, she looked at the research on the split-brain.
The originally scattered cells had now been reassembled.
However, compared to its original appearance, this brain was a little smaller. It seemed that some cells were lost in the process of reassembling.
However, it still formed a relatively complete part. Although there were no internal organs to provide nutrients, the nutrient solution in the jar could keep it alive.
The Scholar and Cryopteris also saw that … the function of the remaining brain had been analyzed.
"This seems to be a part that is used to analyze and then present." Cryopteris looked at the data and the Scholar in front of him and said, "This means that it can do that kind of thing."
"This brain is mainly used to analyze the nuclear information of other creatures, but it's not just an analysis. It can also 'present' what the nuclear information has experienced."
The Scholar asked, "What do you mean by 'present'?"
"You know, every creature's nuclear information represents its everything. It records all the history of its' ancestors'. The function of this brain is to present this history in a more realistic way. It is similar to a 'dream'. Perhaps in that dream, it can observe how the creature with this nuclear information grew and evolved … and what kind of environment it came into contact with, what kind of creatures …"
"However, nuclear information is usually not recorded in such detail. There will always be some information. By analyzing this information, it can calculate the environment and simulate the entire history. Then, it can present this history in its mind."
"It can do that?" The Scholar was shocked. "Such a small brain …"
"They need many of them to simulate a complete history." Cryopteris said, "This is why they were all piled up together on the beach, and they can only analyze specific nuclear information …"
"This specific nuclear information only appeared on the creatures we found. For example, the dwarves we were searching for at the beginning had this information …"
