Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2459: Chapter 2454: Brain in a Vat

Scarlet Storm.

After work, just put on a mask, no need to stand up.

So standing up naturally means you’re not ready to leave work yet.

Examining the warehouse that is as quiet as always, at that moment Fu Qian didn’t hesitate and directly commenced this harvest.

It’s indeed scarlet.

Similar to the original dazzling effect of the Decree Residue, theoretically, it’s a strange color only visible to oneself, instantly enveloping the surroundings.

A kind of red full of life.

Clear and transparent, without waves, but at a glance, it seems you can feel the concept of life pulsating within.

If you walk around a crowded place like this, wouldn’t it be more chaotic than the Brilliant Tyrant?

Of course, the warehouse doesn’t seem interested.

Fu Qian almost walked in the warehouse as if strolling by a lake, yet the warehouse showed no reaction.

Including the contents in the boxes, all remained quietly indifferent to things like Bloodline ethics.

But it doesn’t matter, ignoring me, I can come to you.

At a certain moment, Fu Qian stopped, looking at a small silvery-white box labeled 1-039 in front of him.

...

[Warm Bed; 1-039]

[Gray Bed; 1-093]

Not in a hurry to get off work, it’s certainly not just for using the warehouse for testing.

A question mentioned at the start of the task, now let’s explore it a little.

This task not only revisits the same place as before, but even the names and numbers of the contents have a peculiar correspondence.

If it’s not a coincidence, does this reflect some essential attributes of the warehouse?

Or slightly interpret his Power of Cause and Effect?

The idea can be bold, after all, checking it casually doesn’t cost effort.

Ka——

The box of the Warm Bed has been opened.

This...

Honestly, before the task started, some illusory images were already seen, combining names and task content, it’s not hard to imagine some potential shapes.

Magma, spirit souls deep and secluded, even flesh nests are normal, but this is—Brain in a Jar?

Yes, as a blood and flesh specialist, Fu Qian indicates that it is a very standard human brain.

The size and shape are faultless, even suspended there in a full pose.

There is really a liquid like water in the box.

Clear and transparent, without impurities or color.

Just that the brain seems too full, as if it has been soaked for too long and is inflamed.

...

How to put it... It’s expected.

Carefully observing the magical scene in front of him, Fu Qian quickly finds an interpretative path.

Unseen Hillock, the deepest existence of human nature, the cage of wills, hard to gain freedom no matter how you struggle...

Used to describe the Brain in a Jar, strangely apt.

Of course, according to previous experience, the contents more often condense symbolic meanings, the probability of Mr. Ji Sr.’s brain actually being soaked here is still small.

After all, a simple logic, he wouldn’t grow two brains for no reason—

Holding 1-039, Fu Qian already stands in front of 1-093.

Ka——

Even a box of the exact same size has been opened, the contents inside are suddenly visible.

Another brain, just looking a little atrophied.

And far less white and tender than the previous one, rather an abnormal dark gray.

Even between the folds, there are wisps of deep and secluded entanglement.

Hmm... For an elderly person, this one seems more fitting physiologically.

During repeated comparisons, Fu Qian nods and makes a fair comment.

So the previous one should be Mr. Ji Sr.’s when he was young.

...

Does the condition change of 1-093 imply an embrace of Darkness?

Joking aside, the two brains unmistakably confirm the previous ”symbol” statement.

Fu Qian also focuses on interpreting the gray brain.

Not only does it look unappealing, but even the liquid seems to be affected.

The deep and secluded color on the brain seems to have directly soaked into it, making the overall view increasingly somber.

Furthermore, similar forms but different attributes of contents seem to further affirm the earlier guess.

That is, the warehouse item numbers are not without patterns, but also carry some symbolic meanings.

Just wondering if besides indicating opposite properties, do these sets of numbers have additional connotations?

Although the scene is rather bizarre, honestly, in regard to the two grand objectives previously set, this observation didn’t provide much substantial reference.

But the advantage of academic work lies here, we have many topics.

In the known situation where numbers do indeed have meanings, not long ago, in the Academy, there was even a case possibly constrained by the concept of ”zero.”

Zero has meaning, what about other numbers?

Might the warehouse numbers correspond to attributes of the contents?

Of course, this belongs to far-reaching divergent thinking, actually now there’s a real ”conclusion” right in front of us—

A long time ago, I marveled at something regarding the Unseen Hillock, superheroes and supervillains, the elements with such strong déjà vu are as if extracted from a brain originating from the same place as mine.

Surely interpreting it as Ji Feng’s Spirit World is a good analogy, but the term ”extracted” now seems somewhat subtle.

Indeed, this can be called a deteriorated Brain in a Jar, doesn’t it also resemble the visual feeling of goji berries soaking in water?

To the extent that Fu Qian wasn’t content just with explaining the Unseen Hillock but naturally continued to diverge outward, reaching some queries about the Bookstore World.

...

Clearly possessing Extraordinary Power, why does the place where I’ve lived for twenty years have so many similarities?

Early on, Fu Qian had similar sentiments.

It’s well known that once you embark on the path of spiritual ascension, it greatly affects the tech tree.

Yet, whether it’s vehicles or communication equipment, the tech tree seems completely unchanged.

In his view, this is quite unreasonable.

Not to mention the language almost identical to the world he’s in.

Could the Bookstore World and the original world not be real?

This could be considered a thought that easily arises.

Even adopting this model, the situation on the Witch’s side could also be explained.

However, Fu Qian never rashly makes such a conclusion; rather, he considers if there are other possible explanations.

And the scene in front of him seems to bring forth a strange idea—

Could it be possible that things soaked from Ji Feng’s brain are not all stayed in the Unseen Hillock?

But permeates from the deepest mind through filtration, influencing the world as a form of memetic contamination?
