Chapter 176

Dr. Bright pinched his chin and pondered slightly.

Subsequently, he took a bunch of keys from his pocket and held them in his hand, but he didn't make up his mind to really open the iron lock.

Seeming to weigh, seeming to hesitate.

After thinking for a while, he answered with a serious expression:

"It's not that there is anything strange about this building."

"The problem is a staircase inside."

"It winds down, with no end in sight, and no matter what kind of light source is held, the visible range does not exceed 1.5 steps."

"What's more weird is that there are endless painful screams inside, far away at 200 meters underground, and no matter how you go down, you won't get closer to the source of the sound."

"How about it? Still want to go down?"

Dr. Bright turned to look at Sampo, asking for his answer with his eyes.

And in a place Sampo couldn't see, lines of text emerged.

【Containment Object: Immortality】

【Item Number: Containment Object-963】

【Danger Level: Euclid】

【"Containment Object-963" needs to be attached to the object's forehead or back of the hand with epoxy resin of appropriate strength. (Abandoned)】

【Changed to: "Containment Object-963-1" is currently hung around the object's neck with a chain. It is not allowed to hide "Containment Object-963-1" on the object's body. If there is an attempt, execute immediately.】

【If the current D-class object survives for more than 30 days, it needs to be executed, and another object should be selected to wear "Containment Object-963-1." (Abandoned)】

【Changed to: According to the order of O5-█, any "Containment Object-963-1" host needs to be executed with a suspended sentence until it is passed on due to natural causes, or "Containment Object-963-1" is transferred to a new host.】

…

Looking at the document on the screen.

Herta had to admit.

She was tempted by the word "Immortality," and naively put the Foundation's containment object in the same category as her curios collection.

Although this containment object doesn't seem to have any danger, it is linked to the O5 Council, has traces of deletion and modification, and even the words "execution" and "execution" appeared.

This looks very unreliable no matter how you look at it.

"'Host'… could it be that this containment object has biological characteristics and is parasitic?"

"Then, what is the situation with Dr. Bright? Is he willing to be parasitized by 'Containment Object-963'?"

"But why was it written as 'Containment Object-963' in the file at the beginning, and then it became 'Containment Object-963-1' later?"

This is the first time in the files provided by the Foundation that the content of the file has been deleted and modified.

And whether it is the original text or the modified content, it reveals the evil nature of "Immortality."

This made her worry whether Dr. Bright, who wears "Immortality," has been parasitized, or has undergone some unknown changes.

In her heart, Herta still hopes that Dr. Bright is well.

After all, people who can be crowned with the title of doctor in the Foundation are more or less people with quite high intelligence.

Maybe like her, they are also rare geniuses in the world.

The doctors known to the Foundation, except for the well-known "Dr. White" and Dr. M who studies "The Unclean," are only this Dr. Bright.

In Herta's doubts and worries, more file content was disclosed.

【When the incident occurred, Dr. Jack Bright was a qualified junior researcher assigned to be responsible for studying the characteristics of "Containment Object-963-1" and was authorized to access 【Edited】.】

【When "Containment Object-076-2" broke through containment measures, Dr. Bright happened to pass by the containment unit of "Containment Object-076-2" with "Containment Object-963-1" in his hand and became the first personnel to die due to containment failure.】

【About █ days later, D1-113, who was arranged to clean up the ruins, found and picked up "Containment Object-963-1" in the wreckage. D1-113 then immediately underwent significant changes.】

【The interview content is as follows:

████: Can you tell me your name?

D1-113: I am Jack Bright, you f***ing know it very well!

████: I think you are Tom Higly, working for us to offset your life imprisonment.

D1-113: Don't talk nonsense! I can't be— ("Containment Object-963-1" was removed from D1-113 at this time. Further MRI showed that D1-113 stopped all advanced brain functions. 963-1 was put back, and D1-113's brain function immediately returned to normal)

████: Dr. Bright?

D1-113: What?

████: It seems we have some trouble.】

Inside the Astral Express.

Seeing Dan Heng browsed through these contents line by line, and had a guess about the essence of this containment object in his heart.

As a Vidyadhara, he is a descendant of the Aeon of "Immortality," and the power of "Immortality" flows in his blood.

Therefore, he is particularly sensitive to this word.

His pupils dilated slightly, and he whispered:

"It turned out to be this kind of 'Immortality'… Yes, this is indeed a kind of 'Immortality.'"

Looking at the amulet in front of Dr. Bright again, Seeing Dan Heng's eyes were full of fear.

"The real Dr. Bright is already dead, so what is in the picture?"

"A fake? Or an unlucky guy who was taken over?"

…

【After a large number of experiments, it has been found that when any simian suborder comes into direct contact with "Containment Object-963-1," the object's consciousness will be erased, and Dr. Bright's consciousness will be projected from "Containment Object-963-1" onto the object.】

【Dr. Bright's original memory will also be passed on between hosts.】

【If the object and "Containment Object-963-1" are in contact for thirty days, their brain function will become a copy of the previous Dr. Bright.】

【If "Containment Object-963-1" is removed after this stage, the object will become an independent copy with Jack Bright's consciousness.】

【To avoid creating multiple instances of Dr. Bright, such existences need to be executed to prevent Dr. Bright from colluding with himself.】

【But facts have proven that such actions are unnecessary, because Dr. Bright has completely dedicated himself to the Foundation and its cause.】

【Dr. Bright himself has conducted extensive experiments on "Containment Object-963-1" and expressed a strong desire to be liberated from it.】

【Interviews with Dr. Bright indicate that █████████ committed suicide in the process of using the power of "Containment Object-963-1," but it was this act that caused him to fail to subordinate his consciousness to this amulet.】

【Dr. Bright speculates that he accidentally activated the power of "Containment Object-963-1" because of homicide, rather than suicide as the original creator did.】
