Chapter 80 X0-818
No one spoke for a moment, and all 800 people felt extremely awkward.
"I'm sorry, they... just act like this when they think of something." Xia Jing came out and apologized.
There was no way Dr. Xiao and Wu Yi could speak up, right? It had nothing to do with them. Kuang Li? Forget it. Xia Jing might be a programmer, but he was still a researcher after all.
"It's okay, it's okay. I understand!" Although Jin Sichen said considerately that he didn't care, Xia Jing still felt that the smile on his face was a little malicious.
"What happened next? Did you feel nothing afterwards?" Wu Yi asked Lin Fan.
later……
Lin Fan thought of the hazy scenes in his memories, the dazzling lights and shadows, and the faint sounds.
"I thought I heard someone calling me..." she said hesitantly. The voice seemed real and illusory, vague and unclear. She suspected that she had imagined it and that there was no such voice.
Jin Sichen and Song Ren looked at her at the same time. They both spoke, whose voice did she hear?
"Yes, she screamed!" Wu Yi was very happy. Lin Fan could hear external sounds, so did that prove that she was conscious at that time?
"Whose voice did you hear?" Xia Jing asked.
"I don't know. I didn't hear it clearly. Were there many people calling me?" Lin Fan couldn't really tell whose voice it was.
The voice had completely changed its pitch, coming and going, so faint it seemed like an illusion.
"Did you feel anything at that time?" asked Dr. Xiao.
"I felt uncomfortable. I couldn't see anything clearly. Everything was blurry and there was a noise in my ears," Lin Fan recalled.
"So you shook your head because you felt uncomfortable. You felt it at that time." Jin Sichen said affirmatively.
When the mecha's eyes lit up, Lin Fan was already conscious, but she felt very uncomfortable, so she shook her head.
"I shook my head?" Lin Fan couldn't quite remember; she was just following her body's instincts. "I just felt a rush of energy."
"What happened next?" Xia Jing asked again.
"Later, I seemed to vaguely hear someone calling me, so I tried to wake up a little, lowered my head following the voice, and saw a blurry face." After Lin Fan transformed, he became taller, and he had to lower his head to see the face.
"At first, it was just a black patch of white. I couldn't tell what it was. Then it gradually became clearer, and I could see it was a face," Lin Fan recalled carefully. "I didn't realize who it was at the time, and it took a while before I realized it was Jin Sichen."
"Did you only see me?" Jin Sichen asked.
"Well, except for your face, the surrounding light and shadows seemed to be distorted and shaking, and even your face was not very clear. I just suddenly realized who you were, not that I really saw it clearly."
Jin Sichen has fair skin, a red mouth, and always wears a pair of large sunglasses on her eyes. This feature is very easy to recognize even when the image is blurred. If it were someone else, after blurring, they would just have two eyes and a nose, and it might not be so easy to distinguish.
"As soon as I realized it was Jin Sichen, my head started to hurt, and then I didn't know anything." Lin Fan's intuitive feeling has always been vague and short, and there doesn't seem to be much useful information.
After she lost consciousness, the mecha automatically reverted to her human form. Everyone knows what happened next.
"Are you feeling unwell now? Or is there something different about your body?" Doctor Xiao couldn't find anything abnormal. He wanted to know if she was feeling unwell, so it would be easiest to just ask her directly.
Lin Fan felt it carefully, but didn't seem to notice any obvious difference from before.
"That thing was taken by you..." Xia Jing wanted to tell Lin Fan that the unknown object had shrunk after her transformation, but after thinking about it, he decided not to tell him yet. He wasn't sure how Lin Fan would accept this. With Jin Sichen around, it was better for him not to speak.
"Do you have any special feeling about that thing?" Xia Jing changed the question, trying to find the connection between the foreign object in her head and the thing outside.
Lin Fan thought about it and shook her head. For a moment, there was indeed a faint attraction, but she felt that it was just an illusion and could not be taken seriously.
Everyone looked at each other, knowing that they couldn't ask anything else.
Lin Fan seemed to be fine at the moment. As for the rest, we might have to wait until she recovered for a while and tried to transform again to find out.
"The meal is here!" Li Chunhua walked in quickly carrying a bucket of porridge.
Jin Sichen and Song Ren were busy preparing meals for Lin Fan, so the others couldn't stay any longer and had to leave first.
"Why do I feel like they're weird?" Lin Fan remembered Xia Jing's hesitation and obviously changed the question.
"Maybe it's because you were unconscious for too long this time!" Li Chunhua replied quickly.
"Long?" Lin Fan already knew from the previous meeting that he had been unconscious for between seven and nine hours. Could it be even longer?
She looked out the window and saw that it was pitch black, clearly night time. She remembered that she had just returned to the lab in the afternoon, so wasn't it normal to wake up at night?
Seeing that Li Chunhua had already spoken, Jin Sichen did not continue to hide it: "It has been a day. You transformed yesterday afternoon."
"Huh?" Lin Fan was surprised.
She believed Jin Sichen, but she still had doubts at first.
How could she be unconscious for over a day? She was only conscious for a few moments. Did she do something extraordinary later, without her knowing? Or is it that becoming conscious in a mecha is extremely physically demanding?
No one else thought of this. They all thought that Lin Fan's long coma was due to evolution.
This time, Lin Fan didn't need anyone to feed him the porridge. He just held the bowl and slurped it up.
Perhaps it was because the food replenished her empty body, and the moment she put down the bowl, she seemed to feel a hint of satisfaction.
When she vaguely realized it, there was nothing there.
It was an illusion! Lin Fan felt a little regretful.
After the meal, Song Ren cleared the tableware while Jin Sichen explained to Lin Fan what had happened.
I didn't tell her immediately because I was afraid of disturbing her from eating well.
There is nothing to hide about this matter. If I don’t tell you now, I will have to tell you at the meeting later.
"Are you saying that I absorbed that strange thing, and that's why I was in a coma for so long, because my body is evolving?" Lin Fan understood easily, but he didn't quite understand. She was still a person, right? Or was she?
"That's our theory. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why that thing shrank." Jin Sichen knew that all theories had to be verified before they could be confirmed. "And if you can transform just by touching that thing, then you might have found the key to transformation. So when you feel better, they should let you touch that thing again."
"Hmm... I get it." Lin Fan was prepared for this and suddenly complained, "Don't you have a name for that thing? You always call it that thing that holds things. It's too awkward to pronounce."
"Puchi!" Li Chunhua couldn't help laughing out loud. He also felt that it was a bit awkward, but there was no reason for him to protest.
"It was originally supposed to be named after the research results, but they never produced any results, so the name was delayed. Maybe they were too busy and didn't think of it for a while." Song Ren probably knew the reason and explained to several people.
"That being said, I think they might not be able to name things according to their research results for a long time." Jin Sichen gloated. "Why don't you suggest they come up with code names first? It's really weird to keep calling them that thing or that thing."
Song Ren nodded, and Li Chunhua said actively: "I'll go and tell them, I'll go and tell them." She picked up the porridge bucket and ran out.
Lin Fan felt well after waking up and did not stay in bed for too long.
She wanted to watch the transformation video, but Jin Sichen and Song Ren didn't have any playback equipment, so she informed the scientific research trio. When everyone saw that all the people in 623 were there, they simply held another meeting.
Lin Fan felt that Team 623 wasn't doing their job properly. He didn't see them working much, but they seemed to be holding meetings all the time.
Do all government agencies like to hold meetings?
With this question in mind, she sat firmly in the second chair and waited quietly for the meeting to begin.
"The theme of this meeting is to discuss Lin Fan's transformation yesterday and the next projects to be carried out. Everyone, please speak up." Yu Guangli spoke first again.
"Let's first discuss the progress in the lab," Ke Wenbin said. "We've repeatedly tested the unusual reaction Lin Fan mentioned, but haven't found anything. We've determined it's an individual phenomenon of Lin Fan's. Whether it's a sporadic occurrence remains to be seen."
The three of them weren't enough, so they pulled everyone else in. Even Jin Sichen tried it, and the results spoke for themselves.
"The second thing. For the convenience of reference, I thought of a very good temporary code name for 'that thing'." Zhang Zhaojie said, running to the whiteboard and starting to write.
"Cross...circle..." Li Chunhua repeated, and Zhang Zhaojie turned around and glared at her.
"What's with the cross? It's Ex Zero!" How could you be so uneducated! He corrected her harshly and turned back to continue writing.
It turned out to be Ex Zero. Everyone who had been watching breathed a sigh of relief. They were saying, what a name! It just made a connection...
But, Ex Zero is also a strange name! Everyone continued to watch, feeling confused.
Zhang Zhaojie casually scrawled the words X0-818 on the whiteboard and glanced back at everyone with a smug look. "X represents the unknown, 0 represents infinite possibilities, and 818 is the date Lin Fan transformed yesterday. What do you think? Isn't that a wonderful omen?"
They couldn't resist expressing their agreement, but seeing his smug pride, they couldn't bring themselves to tell him cruelly that the name was terrible. They could only choose to remain silent.
This name is even more talented than the director! Jin Sichen scratched his forehead speechlessly.
Li Chunhua wanted to speak, but Song Ren stopped her and winked at her: "Don't say anything unless you can come up with a better name." Li Chunhua instantly wilted.
Everyone thought it sounded ugly, but they couldn't think of a better alternative, so they all showed the virtue of silence and decided to only report the code name in the future without saying the strange letters in front.
"Okay, since everyone thinks it's good, let's move on to the next topic. Please ask Xia Jing to play the comparison picture of the transformation video." Seeing that no one objected, Zhang Zhaojie happily pressed the switch to lower the curtain and returned to his seat.
The white curtain slowly descended, finally covering up the eye-irritating words X0-818, and Xia Jing quickly played the video.
He played it at normal speed first, and then put up a comparison chart of the differences he discovered yesterday.
"So our theory is that 818 was the trigger for Lin Fan's transformation this time," Xia Jing said loudly. "As for whether 818 is related to the needle-like object on her head, that's not certain at this time."
Since the needle cannot be removed, no one can determine the connection between the two. After all, there is no obvious connection at present.
"Why don't we give that needle-shaped object a code name? It's a bit difficult to pronounce." Zhang Zhaojie suggested with interest, rubbing his chin.
"Don't!" Several people tried to stop him. They looked at each other, and finally Jin Sichen spoke up to dissuade them, "Your time is precious, it's better to use it on scientific research. The three words 'needle-shaped object' are actually quite easy to pronounce, so let's just say that for now, no need to change it!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Everyone agreed, fearing that Zhang Zhaojie would come up with another weird code name, so it would be better to just say needle-shaped object.
Lin Fan looked at this scene and suddenly found it interesting, so he chuckled.
"Lin Fan, you smiled!" Wu Yi shouted happily.
