Chapter 604： Brain in the Tank

The brain in the tank!

The name 　　 is familiar to Arthur!

But not familiar with this world, but familiar before he crossed!

is in a book he once read called "Reason, Truth, and History", the creator Hilary Putnam proposed an imaginary horror!

A person (you can assume that it is yourself) was operated on by an evil scientist. The brain was cut off from the body and placed in a tank containing a nutrient solution for brain survival.

The nerve endings of the brain are connected to the computer, and this computer transmits information to the brain according to the program, so that the illusion that everything is completely normal in the person's brain is maintained.

made him think that everything, such as people, objects, sky, etc., still exists and is normal. His own movement and physical sensation are no different from those of the outside world, and he will not notice the difference!

Even this brain can be input or intercepted memory, delete and modify the memory that is not conducive or may be detected!

And the most basic and most thoughtful question about this hypothesis is: "How do you guarantee that you are not in this predicament?"

Of course, considering the differences in the world, it is impossible for this world to have that book and the information Arthur collected.

This so-called brain in a tank must be different from the brain in a tank he once saw in the book, or its function is different!

The brain in the tank before crossing is imaginary!

And the brain in the tank here should be literal!

That is the brain in a tank!

From Charlotte's diary, Arthur can get a message!

That is Archibald formulated a so-called immortal plan, transferred his consciousness to an instrument, and wanted to extend his life span in disguise and reach immortality!

And the so-called brain in the tank should be the instrument!

Of course, if it was specific, Arthur was not sure before seeing it in person!

"The brain in the tank?" After Arthur recovered his senses, he looked at Christine Andrei and asked suspiciously.

He wants more information to confirm his thoughts!

"That's right!" Christine Andrei nodded, then slowly explained in a hoarse voice, "Actually, I heard this name from the beginning!"

Speaking of this, there was a flash of memory in Christine André’s slightly muddy eyes, as he recalled and said, "Back then, when I first entered the palace, I was a little maid. , I was assigned to a grandmother who has been working in the palace for a long time!"

"That old maid was the first batch of maids who entered the palace when the kingdom was established. Because they were not married and had no family members, they never went out and stayed in the palace!"

"The old mother is very nice! Especially like to tell me the rules, stories, and rumors in the palace, telling me what I can't do in the palace, what are the taboos, and avoid me making mistakes! And the brain in the tank is also her. One of the true stories told me!"

"She said that when she first entered the palace, that is, when the kingdom was just established, His Majesty Martin used to go to a dark room in the palace every day and talk to herself strangely for a long time! And His Majesty Martin It also expressly prohibits other people from entering or even approaching that room!"

"But, things are counterproductive! Perhaps because of His Majesty Martin's ban, or perhaps because of the mystery of that room, many people in the palace are very curious about it!"

"And after a while, this kind of curiosity finally reached its peak! In the end, four young and courageous waiters couldn't help it. After discussing with each other, they decided to secretly go to the room to have a look. what is inside!"

"It was very dark that night, dark clouds covered the moon and starry sky, and the four young waiters took advantage of this blurry weather and their familiarity with the palace guards, and quietly touched the courtyard where the room was located. in!"

"The courtyard is very quiet, because His Majesty Martin does not allow people to enter it, and even patrols are not allowed to approach it, the courtyard seems deadly silent!"

"After the four young waiters touched in, in order to avoid being caught, after a brief discussion, it was decided that three people would go in and have a look, and one waiter was outside!"

"After the agreement was reached, one of them stayed, and the other three came to the front of the room cautiously, and quietly opened the door!"

"The door is very dark, there is no light, and because there is no moonlight that day, after opening the door, even two meters away, the waiters can't see clearly, so they will inevitably have a trace of anxiety and tension in their hearts. !"

"But after looking at each other, the curiosity in their hearts finally defeated the fear of darkness, so they boldly stepped in and walked in, and closed the door!"

"After about five minutes, the young man who stayed to let the wind noticed something was wrong. It has been so long. Not only did the other three waiters not come back, but there was no movement at all!"

"What should I do? The outgoing waiter panicked a bit! He who investigated carefully before coming, knew that if they stayed there for a long time, they might be spotted by the guards on patrol!"

"After thinking about it for a while, the waiter gritted his teeth and turned to the door of the room, ready to go in and have a look, and call other people in order to let them leave quickly to avoid being caught and caught!"

"And when he just wanted to open the door, his chills suddenly stood up, and there was an inexplicable anxiety from the bottom of his heart for no reason! He had a feeling that after opening the door, he would see some horror pictures that he didn't want to see. !"

"What to do? The waiter has started to raise money! If you don't go in, the three people stay here for a long time, they may be found and arrested, and in the end they must be confessed, and if they go in, there will be some Inexplicably uneasy!"

"After raising money for a long time, the fear of being punished still overcomes the fear! He decided to go in and take a look! However, he is not reckless, so he is prepared to look at the situation inside before deciding whether to go in!"

"So, he squatted down, gently pushed open a gap in the door of the room, opened his eyes wide, and carefully looked at the situation inside!"

"I didn't see anything!"

"Because it was too dark, he didn't see anything!"

"But just when he was about to get up, there was a bang, and a ray of thunder flashed in the sky!"

"While he was taken aback, he also used the thunder light to see the scene in the room clearly!"

"A brain, a brain that is no different from the pig brain he had seen before, is placed in a glass cover like a fish tank, full of unknown liquid!"

"He was taken aback again! He couldn't help but his eyes widened, and his breathing became a little quick!"

"Just when he was bold enough to endure the fear in his heart and wanted to see the situation in the room clearly, the room fell into darkness again, and it became impossible to see everything!"

"And just when he got up and wanted to leave here, there was a bang, thunder rang again!"

"A bloodshot eye suddenly appeared behind the door less than two or three centimeters away from him, staring at him viciously!"

"He was frightened again! But this time there is no more after! After several frights, he completely fainted!"

"And the next day, when he woke up in his room and found that it was gone, everything was gone, and the other three waiters seemed to have evaporated, and they couldn't be found, and when he took people there to look for them. , The house and the yard also disappeared, leaving only a vacant lot!"

"At that time, this incident caused a lot of disturbance, but in the end it was suppressed by His Majesty Martin at the time, and the word was given to people to stop mentioning this matter, and finally it ended!"

Listen, Christine Andrey told this horror story with a hint of horror, and there was no wave in Arthur's heart.

He knows that the most circulated in the palace is this kind of legendary horror story!

Among these stories, most of these stories are adapted from the truth in the palace, nine points are false and one is true, and a small part is completely false. I don’t know who released the rumors after they changed and changed.

Whether it's true or not, it's completely personal judgment!

And this story, Arthur judged it should belong to the kind of real adaptation.

Because he remembered that there was a record in a certain book in the palace, not long after the establishment of the kingdom, an inexplicable disturbance occurred in the palace, and was finally quickly suppressed by the ancestors!

As for what the inexplicable storm is, the book does not say!

But, in terms of the time of the story told by Christine Andre, the two are just right!

In other words, there is real news in the story told by Christine Andre!

Thinking like this, Arthur closed his eyes and meditated, recalling the story carefully and extracting some useful information from it!

After a while, Arthur opened his eyes again, looked at Christine Andrei with scorching eyes, and asked, "Then, do you know where the house was?"

"I don't know!" Christine Andre shook her head slowly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com explained, "When I knew it, decades had passed, and there were also buildings in the palace. It has changed, so I don’t confirm there, I can only confirm it is in the northeast corner of the palace!"

"Ok!"

Hearing this, after Arthur nodded, he smiled and said, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you this time, I'll take you back personally!"

"No trouble, Your Majesty, you are busy with you, don't delay business! I still walk, let me go by myself, and at my age, if I can walk, just walk more!" Steen Andre said, standing up by herself.

"Then, I will let him take you home!" After Arthur pondered for a moment, he pointed to the waiter beside him.

"Uh...good!" After a glance at the waiter, Christine Andre nodded slowly, accepting Arthur's kindness!

"You take her back! Before you go, get one million St. Martin's coins and send them together!" Arthur ordered to the waiter.

After finishing speaking, before Christine Andre refused, Arthur added with a smile, "You must not refuse this time! In addition to the revenge for your information, the money is also for you to do for the palace. Some rewards for your contributions!"

"This...good!" Christine Andre, who had originally wanted to refuse, accepted Arthur's kindness with a touch of emotion.

Then, under Arthur's gaze, Christine Andre slowly left the room with the help of the waiter!

"Where is it?" Seeing her leaving behind, Arthur thought silently.

And this time!

"Found it!" Robin's voice came from the side.
