Chapter 795: Modern People's Psychological Endurance
Chapter 795: Modern People's Psychological Endurance
"It's a blessing, not a curse, it's a curse that cannot be avoided!"
Wen Rui muttered to himself that being too cautious and valuing one's life would also affect one's ability to make correct judgments.
The funds raised by the Jiejiao disciples in the Heavenly Palace were wasted on an experiment with a high probability of failure. It would be better to save them and use them for the post-war reconstruction of the mortal world in the future.
Having made up his mind, Wen Rui first controlled the nano units that made up the emperor's purple robe he was wearing to disperse, which was equivalent to taking off his clothes.
Then, golden dust came out from every pore of his body. These were the immortal-level nano units that were usually hidden in his body.
Witch cells have a strong rejection to fairy-level nano-units. Once the transformation is completed, the white blood cells will frantically attack the nano-units in the body and decompose them as toxins.
The golden cudgel meridians, artificial stomach sac and artificial dantian were not removed. Without these three cyber organs, Wen Rui would not be able to produce and control the Hunyuan Qi. Even if it would cause rejection reactions, they must be retained.
These three artificial organs are all made of indestructible high-level heavenly iron, and the phagocytic ability of the witch cells is not enough to decompose them in a short period of time.
Entering the incubator, Wen Rui took a deep breath and ordered Jarvis: "Prepare the experiment and start!"
Since the installation of the brain-computer interface and brain chip, Wen Rui rarely uses voice to give commands, but this time the fairy-level nano units in his body were extracted, which is equivalent to removing the brain-computer interface and brain chip devices composed of nano units. For the time being, he cannot directly give orders through the brain network.
The hatch of the culture tank is closed, and the modulation liquid is injected into the modulation chamber from the pipeline.
The moment the skin came into contact with the prepared liquid, it was as if being splashed with sulfuric acid. As the entire body was immersed in the prepared liquid, intense pain spread throughout the body.
In the past, when his body was filled with nano units, Wen Rui could control the nano units at any time to block nerve signals and achieve anesthesia effects.
But now he could only grit his teeth and bear it. Fortunately, Wen Rui had too much experience in enduring pain, and he quickly adapted to the torture of acid gnawing at bones and insect bites that could drive ordinary people crazy on the spot.
The prepared liquid contains a large amount of proteases and gene-cutting enzymes, which can easily penetrate the cell membrane and perform microscopic transformation on every somatic cell of Wenrui.
Every cell has to go through the process of disassembly and reorganization, and nerve cells are no exception. The entire body seems to be completely dissolved, and the pain is a hundred times more intense than being tortured in hell.
After experiencing this feeling personally, Wen Rui finally understood why all the death row inmates who were experimental subjects became possessed by demons without exception. It is difficult for people who have suffered such hardship not to develop evil thoughts of hating the world and destroying everything.
The transformation of cells throughout the body is a long process, and the time of suffering is also prolonged. In order to ensure that he can maintain a clear self-consciousness at the moment of completion of the transformation, Wen Rui maintains a clear mind and savors every detail of the body's collapse and reorganization.
A second, a minute, an hour passed, a whole day passed, a month passed...
Time passed slowly. On the 9981st day, Wen Rui noticed that the pain was gradually weakening. This meant that most of the cells in his body had completed the transformation, and the number of cells that collapsed and reorganized was decreasing.
The physical pain gradually disappeared, but Wen Rui's mind was filled with fantasies, as if he had fallen into a chaotic dream. First, the empty and dark sea of consciousness suddenly showed images of the modern world of his previous life. His parents, relatives, friends, and every familiar face buried deep in his memory appeared one by one.
For a moment, he seemed to feel that there was only a thin membrane separating him from his previous life. As long as he gave up the mission, his soul would be able to break free from the barriers of time and space, return to his original body, and end everything in this world.
The feeling was so real that Wen Rui was even moved and really wanted to just give up.
But at the critical moment, he still resisted the urge to escape and give up.
Obviously, this is a temptation from the inner demon. Wen Rui has studied many Western scriptures and knows that the Buddha encountered the inner demon when he was enlightened under the Bodhi tree. Once the faith is not firm, it will lose its original heart and fall into the devil's way. The inner demon can retrieve the memory, find the most vulnerable flaws of the mind, exert influence, and thus break the defense of the heart.
The temptation to return was ineffective. The hometown city in the memory of the previous life was soon destroyed in a raging fire, and was replaced by countless horrific scenes, thunder and lightning, howling winds, the collapse of the earth, and falling stars...
But these horrific scenes might be enough to scare an ancient person who didn't have much knowledge, but for a time traveler like Wen Rui who is knowledgeable and has a rich imagination, they are child's play. In his opinion, the special effects in modern movies are more realistic than the horrific scenes created by the inner demons.
After the terrifying intimidation lost its effect, countless charming beauties appeared in his sea of consciousness. At this point, Wen Rui couldn't help but want to laugh.
This process is very similar to the one used by Mara to hinder the Buddha from becoming a Buddha. However, the Buddha remained unmoved and overcame the obstacles with his extraordinary concentration. How could Wen Rui be inferior to the Buddha?
It’s not that Wen Rui’s spiritual realm is higher than that of the Buddha, or that his concentration is stronger, but he was mentally prepared, had broad knowledge, and knew too much.
Fear comes from the unknown. When ancient people saw lightning striking, without understanding the reason, they would think that it was God’s wrath and they were afraid that they would be punished by God for their evil deeds.
Wen Ruize had long known that lightning was merely an atmospheric discharge phenomenon, and that a lightning rod and a Lafayette ground cage could provide complete protection. He could remain unharmed even when bathed in lightning, so how could he be afraid?
The seduction of the beautiful woman who followed was even more ridiculous. Wen Rui was almost tired of seeing beautiful women and had serious aesthetic fatigue. He was not the little virgin like Tathagata when he became a Buddha. He needed to rely on concentration and restraint to keep his original heart.
Not to mention an old driver like Wen Rui, even a little otaku who traveled through time from modern society would be accustomed to it after watching too many short videos or watching too many marginal anchors on a certain video site. He might even think that ancient beauties who didn't wear makeup or use beauty filters are not necessarily more attractive than girls who have both modern technology and life.
After a series of switching between inner demons and illusions, Wen Rui was as steady as an old dog, with no ripples in his heart, and even felt like laughing.
What I was most worried about was that I would not be able to maintain my spiritual realm and lose my self-awareness at this moment, but it turned out to be unexpectedly easier than I thought, and it was not a difficulty or test at all.
The inner demon struggled for a long time but gained nothing in the end. Peace returned to the sea of consciousness again. All the fantasies disappeared like a dream bubble.
After his mind became clear again, Wen Rui slowly opened his eyes, regained control of his body, and immediately touched his chest.
Flat and solid.
"call……"
He let out a long sigh, feeling that Wen Ruiru had been pardoned, and the second hidden danger that he was worried about did not materialize.
It seems that the abnormal expansion of the Demon God General's breastplate was just an isolated case of coincidence.
The conditioning liquid in the culture chamber was gradually drained, the hatch opened, and Wen Rui walked out of the cabin. Before summoning the nano units to construct the robe, he first constructed a large floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of him.
He had to confirm again that after replacing the witch's cells, he would not grow horns on his head, scales on his body, or fleshy wings on his back, looking like a half-human, half-ghost.
When Wen Rui looked in the mirror, he was horrified and blurted out: "Damn, I forgot about this. I can't face people like this!"
