Chapter 183 The Whistle (Part 2)
After finishing his phone call with Zhang Shengyong, Wei Hongsi fell into deep thought.
It's not surprising that the Guides of Light disregard life. They treat not only non-members as tools to be manipulated and destroyed at will, but even official members are eliminated and discarded when necessary.
However, the things they did in Yuecheng were still done covertly, but the series of events that have recently occurred in KR country seem to be too blatant.
Even if Option B leads to serious consequences, it wouldn't necessarily result in death; the deaths of Li Yunxiang and Peng Jun, at least on the surface, appear to be accidents.
In contrast, using animated films to incite bullies to retaliate has directly resulted in dozens of bloody incidents; wiping out the entire group of people in a vehicle carrying patients with "mental pollution" is more like a bloody warning.
In fact, the KR government was indeed deterred, stating that it needed to carefully consider sending the patient to Yuecheng, and did not mention a specific timeframe again.
Could it be true, as Zhang Shengyong said, that the members of the Light Guide Society are so emboldened in KR country because of their special status?
This factor may exist, but it shouldn't be the main reason.
Judging from the cases committed by the Light Guide Society in the past, they were basically all motivated by making money.
Their intentions in Yuecheng this time were clearly still for this purpose, but in addition, Zhiwei's CMS was also their target.
This probably explains why the goal of the Light Guide Association at this stage is no longer just to make money, but also to access resources that they consider useful.
Perhaps the Light Guides have been doing this for a long time, but in the known cases, the resources they needed were not available, or they stole the resources without being discovered.
The technology mastered by the Light Guide Society is obviously constantly evolving, which requires a lot of resources. They are raising money everywhere, probably to exchange for the resources they need.
From this perspective, the series of events orchestrated by the Light Pathfinder Association in KR country seem somewhat abnormal.
If the Light Guide Society's goal is to seize money and resources, there is absolutely no need to create so much bloodshed. From another perspective, these acts of violence and terrorism do not help them achieve their goals; on the contrary, they attract unnecessary attention, which is completely contrary to their usual style of operating in the shadows.
Does the Light Guide Association have even bigger schemes up its sleeve?
Wei Hongsi pondered for a while, but couldn't figure out the reason, so he stopped wasting his time and started to solve the more practical problems at hand.
The number of patients suffering from "mental pollution" from KR country couldn't be transferred, disrupting the established plans and schedules, so he had to make adjustments immediately.
The research on "emotional reshaping" has undoubtedly been the most affected. At present, the only thing to do is to accelerate the development of the remote treatment support system in order to obtain relevant data from patients in KR country.
This cannot completely replace nearby observation and research work, and the efficiency is much lower; it is merely a second-best option.
Since the establishment of the project team, Wei Hongsi has coordinated and planned all the work without dividing personnel according to different projects.
This approach can fully leverage the value of each individual and improve overall efficiency, but if a major task changes, other tasks must also be adjusted accordingly.
After making the adjustments, Wei Hongsi continued to follow up on the work related to "Neural Bridge Protection 2.0".
This morning, Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang went to see Professor Zhou and got a solution from him. The two problems that had troubled them the day before were successfully resolved.
The work is progressing at a fairly ideal pace. Just before the end of the workday, Wei Hongsi called Zheng Han, inviting him and Yu Xiufeng to come to the company the following afternoon.
He then sent a message to Shen Qing on Zhixun, telling her that the patient from KR country couldn't come anytime soon and that the treatment assistance needed to be replanned.
Shen Qing replied, "Then let me know when you've finalized your plan. Also, do you think we should expand the music library specifically for Koreans?"
Wei Hongsi thought the suggestion was good: "It is indeed necessary. Let me plan my time first."
Shen Qing: "Okay!"
Wei Hongsi then remembered something else: "I have a metal whistle that I haven't used in a long time, and it was used by someone else before. What's the best way to clean it?"
Shen Qing: "Then white vinegar is better." She then sent detailed cleaning instructions.
After having dinner at the company, Wei Hongsi and Xia Shiyu drove back to their dormitory together. When they arrived at the apartment building, he got out of the car first, let Xia Shiyu drive the car in, and went to the convenience store next door to buy a bottle of white vinegar and a children's toothbrush.
Back in his dormitory, Wei Hongsi followed Shen Qing's instructions, first brushing the flute inside and out with warm water mixed with dish soap, then mixing white vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio and soaking the flute head down in the mixture.
According to Shen Qing, it should be soaked for at least half an hour.
He sat down in the chair and summoned the "System" panel with a thought.
After receiving Zhang Shengyong's call, I was busy with work and hadn't had time to check the changes in the "system" after exchanging for the skill.
[Exchangeable Skills:]
Recorder playing (Lv.5) (50 points);
Electronic keyboard playing (Lv.4) (400 points);
Guitar Playing (Lv.4) (700 points)
Only these contents have changed.
The number of redeemable skills has increased to three. I don't know if it's because I've only learned these few instruments, or if I need to redeem all of them before the redeemable skills "refresh". Surely I won't have to wait for the "system" to upgrade again?
The contribution points required to exchange for these three skills have been significantly reduced compared to before. The recorder, in particular, only requires 50 points, which is probably because the playing skills of the whistle and the recorder have many similarities, which is quite reasonable.
He closed the "System" panel and sat quietly for half an hour, trying to recall information related to Uncle Zhang. He only had some vague fragments and nothing particularly memorable.
Perhaps playing the whistle can help me recall some memories?
In theory, a piece of music learned to play in childhood will have a lot of related information attached to this memory network. The auditory system has a sophisticated encoding mechanism that can deeply process and stably store sound information.
Wei Hongsi took the whistle out of the acetic acid solution, rinsed it again, and then used a paper towel to dry it inside and out.
He sat down on the chair with the whistle in his hand, let out a soft sigh, put the whistle in his mouth, pressed his fingers on the holes, and began to blow.
A simple melody began to play from the whistle. Although the fingers were a little clumsy, the whole process was very natural, as if it had been done hundreds of times. Every time the finger was pressed, lifted, or breath was taken, it would evoke muscle memory.
After finishing one piece, Wei Hongsi closed his eyes and casually began playing another. Some blurry memories in his mind gradually became clearer.
