"President Yu, don't worry, there is no danger when the spiritual tide erupts, isn't it dangerous to fight with immortal cultivators? Whether it is worth the risk or not depends on whether it is worth it. I really don't want to take the risk, and I will never Reluctantly, but don't be impatient, listen to me, okay?" Director Mu said calmly.

Then, Director Mu and President Yu put their heads together, whispering, and looked back at Chu Ge, making Chu Ge's hair stand on end.

After a while, President Yu gave a dry cough and returned to Chu Ge's side.

Chu Ge said: "Sister Yu, you wouldn't sell me so soon, would you?"

"What words!"

President Yu was full of righteousness, "The Very Association is not an official organization, and whether or not to perform tasks is entirely up to you. If you really don't want to, I can still take you to the execution ground? To be honest, even if you are willing to do such a dangerous task, I will I want to advise you to think twice before acting, after all, you are the mascot of our very association now!

"However, then again, Director Mu's conditions are indeed very tempting. If you really want to help your good brother Xu Jun recover his cultivation ability, I suggest you listen to what Director Mu said before making a decision. .”

Chu Ge blinked, okay, let's just listen to it, he is not even afraid of demons and heretics like Yanluo, is he afraid of a few snakes, insects, rats and ants becoming spirits?

"Brother Chu, cooperate with the Seventh Office of our General Administration to ensure that you will not suffer any disadvantages. Let alone other conditions, let's talk about becoming a soul shifter. Could it be that you paid for it unilaterally?"

Director Mu glanced at Zhao Lian, confident, and said calmly, "I know that many places, especially our brother units in the special zone, are gearing up and can't wait to set up their own anti-monster department, but this matter It is not only a question of whether the Seventh Division of the General Administration is willing to delegate its powers, but also a question of whether your localities have the ability to deal with animal and plant mutations.

"Don't say anything else, at least in the local area, you need to train your own soul shifters? You have no experience at all, and everything starts from scratch, so you have to train until the year of the monkey. Before you have enough ability, the Seventh Division of the General Administration can let go. ?

"Brother Chu, think about it, if you can become the first soul shifter in Lingshan City, how many honors and practical benefits will you bring? At that time, you will be considered as providing for the police, the military, the Special Investigation Bureau and the Extraordinary Association." Technical support, or being an instructor in the anti-youkai department, providing experience for other soul shifters, is enough to eat and drink!"

In a word, the eyes of Chu Ge and Zhao Lian lit up at the same time.

"Director Mu—"

Zhao Lian said, "You just said that soul shifters are as precious as astronauts. Can you guarantee that Chu Ge will be trained as a qualified soul shifter in a short period of time?"

"Both soul shifters and astronauts are very talented professions. Since Chu Ge can become a leader among the new generation of awakened people in Lingshan City, and has been jointly recommended by the two of you, his talent goes without saying. , Moreover, regarding the basic training of the soul shifter, including mental strength, sense of direction, remote control and other subjects, his grades are already very good, and the rest is just a thin layer of window paper, which can be broken with a poke. "

Director Mu said, "Don't worry, I'm just acting as a guide. There is no need for Chu Ge to fight in person. A week of crash training should be enough—anyway, we planned to use a week to initially scout the underground situation of Lingshan City. He also conducted joint exercises with the brother troops in Lingshan City.

"Of course, to become an excellent soul shifter, one week's crash is definitely not enough.

But I can promise that as long as Brother Chu is willing to take on this mission, after the mission is over, regardless of success or failure, we will be responsible for providing you with more in-depth and professional training to ensure that you become an excellent soul shifter.

"Director Zhao, at that time, our Lingshan City Special Investigation Bureau can also select a few good seedlings to receive training with Chu Ge, but the ugly words are up front. Guaranteed!"

"What?"

In Zhao Lian's eyes, the light flickered, "Have you agreed with the Lingshan City Special Investigation Bureau to set up its own anti-monster department?"

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, there's no way to stop it."

Director Mu smiled and said, "Could it be that if the superiors disagree, the local government will not use various names and excuses to form its own anti-monster department? If everyone cooperates happily and lets us see the strength of Lingshan City, we are naturally willing to do so." Help Lingshan City set up institutions and procedures to deal with animal and plant mutation incidents, this is also to reduce our own burden!"

Zhao Lian coughed lightly, looked at Chu Ge with a complicated expression, and coughed again in embarrassment.

"No?"

Chu Ge yelled, "Brother Zhao, you sold me out so quickly? What kind of friendship do we have!"

"I know, I didn't say I would sell you!"

Zhao Lian said, "I mean the same as Chairman Yu, don't worry, listen to Director Mu first."

"Director Mu—"

Chu Ge was helpless, turned his head to look at the smiling Tianhai visitor, "Why do I have to become a mouse, and I can remotely control drones or robots to help you lead the way?"

"Remote control drones and robots, after all, there are many inconveniences."

Director Mu said, "Especially in the rugged and humid underground environment, many gaps are too small for mechanical drilling, and there are accumulated water or even flammable, explosive and corrosive methane and poisonous gas in many places, and the remote control machinery will fail. ,Out of control.

"Of course, the most important reason is that the concealment of the remote control machine is too poor, or there is no concealment at all. If there are really spirited monsters hidden in the dark corners of the underground of Lingshan City, as soon as they hear the sound of the machine running, The voice, I have already fled away, why are you still obediently squatting in place, waiting for us to investigate?"

"That--"

Chu Ge said, "We can spend more time exploring the underground world of Lingshan City. I promise to make you familiar with every crevice and dark corner. Within ten days and a half months, you won't need a guide."

"No, there is no time. The preparatory work will last at most a week. Within ten days and half a month, Bai Ye must be rescued."

Director Mu said seriously, "Otherwise, it will be too late."

Chu Ge was stunned for a moment: "Why is it too late?"

"It's too late to save souls."

Director Mu said, "Consciousness is determined by matter. The so-called mysterious soul of human beings is ultimately produced by the protein of the brain. The average weight of the brain of an adult is about 1,400 grams, while the brain of an adult mouse weighs no more than 1,000 grams." More than 30 grams to 50 grams, the neurons and neural networks contained in it are far inferior, and its brain utilization efficiency is only one-fiftieth of that of the human brain.

"How long do you think a human soul can stay in a mouse's brain without losing its precious memory, consciousness, logical judgment, or...self?"

Chu Ge fell into deep thought.

"You mean—"

"I mean, if Bai Ye's consciousness is trapped in the mouse's brain for too long, it will gradually sink into the dark quagmire. With the peeling, erosion, withering and dissipating of various consciousness information, he will definitely not be able to maintain his own existence , will gradually forget everything in the past, even the identity of human beings.”

Director Mu sighed, with a look of pain on his face, and said, "At that time, even if we found this mouse, extracted Bai Ye's soul from the mouse's brain, and poured it back into his real body, maybe, You can only get a big rat in human form."

Chu Ge was terrified.

A human soul, trapped in the body of a mouse, is facing the ending of memory loss and consciousness withering, but it cannot be changed or stopped.

It's like a person stuck in a quagmire, who can only watch his mouth, nose, eyes and ears being swallowed up by the darkness inch by inch.

This is probably one of the most miserable ways to die in the world.

"In this way, I know that this request is too abrupt, so I don't force Brother Chu to make a decision now."

Director Mu said, "Anyway, we still have a week to polish the team. During this week, I will design a quick soul-moving course for Brother Chu. After a week, if you feel confident that you can integrate into the team , and those who are willing to take risks, act with us as soul shifters.

"If the time comes, you still can't comprehend the mystery of moving the soul, and it's really too much, then stay behind, remotely control the drones and robots, and guide us.

"Of course, I have to make it clear that since the task difficulty is different, the contribution points and extra rewards that can be settled by these two task methods are also different. Can you accept it?"
