Chapter 192 The Attack (Part 2)
When Wei Hongsi received Yu Xiufeng's call, it was already past 5 p.m., almost time to get off work.
He hung up the phone and pondered for a while, feeling that it would be difficult to solve the problem of the two consciousnesses in Mu Jie's brain interfering with each other using only technical means.
Because the interference originates from Mu Jie's own brain, the brainwave signals generated by the two consciousnesses interact with each other, making it impossible for an external observer to distinguish them.
Although he spearheaded the development of the plan and the equipment, in terms of actual implementation, the police experts led by Zheng Han were certainly far more experienced than him. Since even they hadn't solved the problem, Wei Hongsi felt there was no need for him to waste his time.
Waiting and seeing is certainly one approach. If, through the interpretation of this day's stimulation, another consciousness in Mu Jie's brain has become fully active, then it is possible that independent narratives belonging to different consciousnesses will appear in his subsequent dreams.
However, simply waiting like this is rather passive. No one knows when the change will happen, or even whether the change they expect will happen at all.
The idea for this plan originated from Wei Hongsi's own experience, but his situation was quite different from Mu Jie's.
His "system" or second personality was actively separated under special environmental conditions, and its relationship with his "id" is one of cooperation. The two not only share the same origin, but there is no strict distinction between them, and there is no competitive inhibition.
Wei Hongsi believes that the memory fragments retrieved through skill exchanges are actually a transfer of those memories from the second personality to the "true self." Once all the memory fragments have been retrieved, the second personality will disappear due to the complete fusion of memories.
Mu Jie's situation was completely different. The memory indoctrination by the Light Guide Society was a true form of brainwashing, which completely reshaped his "id".
It's like someone being taken into a bandit's den before they even understand the world, and being raised according to the standards of bandits from a young age. As a result, their values will most likely become the same as those of bandits when they grow up.
However, the Light Guide Society's methods are more effective. They set the organization's totem and creed as the anchor of members' consciousness. If they succeed, they are accepted as formal members, while those who fail may be eliminated or left to fend for themselves after being turned into idiots.
Mu Jie's second personality likely separated and hid itself after receiving the memory implantation, remaining hidden for many years without being exposed, even by himself. After Mu Jie's main personality triggered the "meltdown mechanism," his second personality, driven by survival instinct, appeared and halted the process, thus creating a bug.
However, compared to Mu Jie's primary personality, his secondary personality is clearly weaker, so after he fell into a coma, he experienced many dream interpretations but never manifested.
The reason his second personality emerged under the influence of those two newly created stimulus packages might be because Mu Jie fell into a coma and temporarily lost the external threat.
However, it is also possible that Mu Jie's main personality discovered the hidden second personality, and the competitive inhibition shown in the brainwave signals is actually a fierce game between the two consciousnesses.
If the latter possibility is true, then no matter how long the experts wait, the expected changes will not occur. Instead, as time goes by, Mu Jie's second personality will fail in the game and disappear completely, or it will be hidden even deeper and become difficult to discover.
If that's the case, waiting will only lead to a worse outcome. So, is there a more proactive approach?
Wei Hongsi pondered for a while when his phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang. Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, he pressed speakerphone and asked, "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, Teacher Wei, I am Guo Weiran."
Upon hearing that it was him, Wei Hongsi suddenly had an idea. He switched his phone to earpiece mode and said, "Hello, Guo Da."
Guo Weiran said, "I got your phone number from Yu Zhi. I just wanted to ask if there's any progress on your end."
Wei Hongsi immediately knew that Guo Weiran's investigation had probably stalled, and asked, "Brother Guo, have you investigated Mu Jie's background and childhood?"
"We did investigate that aspect, and the information was quite detailed, but it didn't help the case much."
"I think it should be useful. Guo Da, if you have time tonight, go to the Yueda Supercomputing Center. Let's meet there; I have some ideas."
"Okay, what time should we go?"
"Let's get there at seven o'clock."
"good!"
After finishing his phone call with Guo Weiran, Wei Hongsi sent a message to Zheng Han to let her know, then wrapped up his work for the day before leaving the office to call Xia Shiyu to go to a restaurant for dinner.
Several more patients suffering from "mental pollution" came for follow-up examinations and treatment that evening. During dinner, Wei Hongsi gave Xia Shiyu some instructions, telling him to keep an eye on things at the company and to message him if anything happened, so that he could get contribution points promptly after curing the patients.
Wei Hongsi had long discovered that the "system" heavily relied on him for information, and recently it had been subjecting many to "mental pollution."
The patients' treatment further proves this point.
Whenever a patient completes the test and is confirmed to be cured, the "system" does not immediately calculate the contribution points. Only when the patient has access to the relevant information will they receive contribution points. It can be said to be quite idealistic; if the patient does not know about the relevant information, it is as if the contribution has not been completed.
This is also evidence that he believes the "system" is his second personality. Of course, the two are not the same; there are certainly many other factors involved, otherwise the second personality wouldn't have gone through such a roundabout process. The key will gradually be revealed as memories are gradually recovered, so there's no rush, because rushing won't help.
After dinner, Wei Hongsi drove to the old campus of Yuecheng University. The roads were congested during rush hour, and he arrived close to seven o'clock.
Upon entering the decoding control room, Guo Weiran was already there, while only Zheng Han and Yu Xiufeng were among the experts present.
Wei Hongsi greeted the three of them, and Yu Xiufeng asked somewhat eagerly, "Teacher Wei, have you thought of a new method?"
"I have a new idea, but it's not about the technical aspects." Wei Hongsi nodded, then looked at Guo Weiran. "This time we'll have to rely on Guo Da."

Guo Weiran patted the backpack placed to the side: "I brought all the information I compiled after these two days of investigation."
Although he didn't know what Wei Hongsi planned to do, he knew what preparations needed to be made through a previous phone call.
Wei Hongsi asked, "Is there anything about Chen Xuemin?"
"Yes!" Guo Weiran nodded. "She was one of the key figures in my investigation over the past two days, but I didn't get any valuable information."
Wei Hongsi said, "Perhaps it will prove its value here."
