<h4>Chapter 412: Death</h4>
“Murphy” tilted his head and silently looked at the quantumputer in front of him.
One had to admit, if one had not known what it was, no one in the world would guess that it was a quantumputer.
This was because it had noputer features, no screen, keyboard, processor or even peripherals such as a mouse. Instead, it looked like an abstract sculpture built by an artist,posed ofrge and small translucent, ssy gears, along with tiny, irregrponents.
In addition, there were many tassels of an unknown material hanging down, creating a peculiar sense of beauty.
This style was indeed a bit familiar, what was it...
With the arrival of “Murphy”, the quantumputer in front suddenly shuddered slightly, making clinking sounds like ss. These clinking sounds were reorganized to form speech that sounded as if it was born of the collision of jade artifacts —
“Who, are, you?”
The quantumputer spoke!
At the same moment, everyone in the outerboratory noticed that the curve of the quantumputer was rising rapidly on the monitoring instruments. If they regarded these data as aputer graph of a person, then this person must have already fallen into an extreme mood swing!
“The curves of the fourth index and the seventh index rose by 600% and the curve of the eighth index rose by 1,000%. This is a curve disturbance. Something’s wrong with Adam!”
“Oh God, what happened, is it getting excited?”
“No, it isn’t so much excitement as it’s anger!”
In that instant, the entireboratory’s monitoring team suddenly erupted into a flurry of activity. At the same time, theboratory was pierced through with harsh sirens. The loud noise made everyone cover their ears at once!
This noise also resounded in the ears of “Murphy”, but he just stared at the quantumputer in front of him as if he had nothing to do with anything in the world.
“Who are you?”
The quantumputer was still asking. Adam, who used to be able to predict everything, now had no idea when faced with this Murphy.
“Murphy, what’s going on in there? Why is ‘Adam’ overclocking?”
Just then, a woman’s stern voice came over the broadcast. “Whatever you’re doing, stop it right now!”
At this time, the real Murphy was also watching all this, his heart burning with anxiety. However, even if the outside world had already descended into utter chaos because of him, this “Murphy” still did not show any expression.
Not only that, but a strange smile twitched at the corner of his mouth, then he slowly raised his right hand and touched his right eye...
‘Wait, stop, what are you doing?’
Murphy was suddenly gripped by an ominous premonition...
The next second, he only heard a sttering sound echoing in his ears. The index and middle fingers of “Murphy” were inserted directly into the gap between the eye socket and the eyeball!
‘Agh agh agh agh! What are you doing, this is my body! Stop it, stop it right now!
‘Don’t gouge out my eye, stop it!!!’
With a sharp “snap”, an eyeball dropped down across Murphy’s cheek and rolled a few times on the smooth floor.
Deep in his heart, the real Murphy was still snarling and howling. The weird thing was, he did not feel any pain as if this body had nothing to do with him now.
Still, if one was looking at the surveince monitor, one would see that Murphy’s right eye had beenpletely plucked out. The broken optic nerve dangled on his cheek as blood gurgled out, giving this Murphy a peculiar, monstrous aura.
“Where is the anesthetic gas? Stop him!”
Seeing this, a panicked shriek finally rang out on the broadcast. Then, in theboratory Murphy was in, dozens of small holes began to hiss and emit arge amount of white smoke. A pungent smell hit his nostrils and in the blink of an eye, the smoke had suffused through the entireboratory...
Still, after all, the anesthetic gas would need half a minute to take effect. Before it took effect, they could only watch as “Murphy” dug into the depths of his eye socket with his index finger and thumb once again!
Then Murphy’s hand pulled away and a translucent USB sh drive stained with blood and brain was extracted!
That USB sh drive was hidden behind Murphy’s eye!
“It’s a quantum USB sh drive! Is Murphy crazy? What on Earth is he trying to do!”
Everyone was losing it in front of the surveince monitor. The middle-aged woman at their head yelled, “Where’s the security guard? Why haven’t the security guards gone in to stop him!”
“The quantumputer sealed the door on its own and no one can get in!”
Someone replied, “We’re trying to crack it!”
“D*mn it!”
In such circumstances, everyone could only watch Murphy tug out the USB sh drive from behind his eye and plug it directly into the only socket of the quantumputer...
“Spark!”
In the next second, the quantumputer suddenly broke out into a violent tremor and then frozepletely, paralyzed in ce...
“No!”
The middle-aged woman before the surveince monitor unleashed a desperate scream. After that, she saw Murphy turned his head on the screen. With his single eye, he shot a nce at the surveince camera above his head, then raised both his hands and gripped his own head...
“Crack crack crack... Snap!”
As if he was twisting in a screw, Murphy broke his own neck with a nk expression and then he copsedpletely...
Even when he died, there was still an eerie smile on his lips.
By the next second, the door to the innerboratory was finally opened. The security guards who had been ready for a long time rushed in wearing gas masks. They brought out Murphy’s body in half a minute.
“Report: Murphy, suspected of sabotaging the quantumputer, hasmitted suicide to escape the punishment for his crime.”
One of the security guards said to the surveince camera, “We didn’t find any other dangerous items on him.”
“What about the quantumputer?”
The middle-aged woman asked quickly, “Is the quantumputer damaged?”
“Madam Molly, the quantumputer just restarted...”
The scientist responsible for implementing the data suddenly replied, “ording to the data analysis of the curves and perturbations, the quantumputer, besides being restarted by a special program... Appears to be unaffected.”
“Are you sure?”
Everyone looked d.
“We’re very certain.”
A hint of relief appeared in the eyes of several scientists. “Murphy used a quantum USB sh drive to imnt a quantumputer program. Except for causing the quantumputer to restart, it didn’t cause any damage to the quantumputer.”
The scientist nodded but to be safe, he added. “Of course, it’s not impossible that there are other hidden dangers, but so far, I haven’t found any differences from before...”
“Thank heavens...”
“That is great news!”
“I’ll say! How can a quantumputer be damaged so easily? Even if there are traitors among us, it’s difficult to do that...”
Everyone in the monitoring room sighed in relief when they heard this and some began to cross themselves.
“I hope that’s the case.”
However, the middle-aged woman’s expression remained stern. She said to the person in charge of security, “Now isn’t the time to rejoice. From now on, seal off the passage to the insidepletely. Before the higher-ups have inspected the quantumputer, no one is allowed to approach it again. I don’t want another Murphy on our hands, understand?”
“Yes, Madam!”
“As for why Murphy did this...”
The middle-aged woman raised her head with a somber look in her eyes. “Even though he’s dead, don’t forget that he still has a family. I believe that if the Federation investigates, the truth will soone to light...”
“Re, report!”
However, before she finished speaking, one of the security guards suddenly ran in from outside theboratory and said in agitation, “Just now, there was news from Chicago. All the core members of the Murphy family have died at the same time!”
“What did you say!”
At this moment, everyone’s expression changed drastically.
