The Law Of Virtual Body Energy And Its Medical Application: A New Paradigm For Diagnosis And Treatment Based On Virtual Reality Mapping Chapter 1

Laboratory Safety Regulations

Do you know where the threshold for an Ethereal Entity lies?

Through the glass window, the dark shadow turned its head and posed this cryptic question to the stunned Shen Molin inside the control room.

In Shen Molin’s eyes, this creature—neither human nor ghost, never heard of nor seen before—was a threat, something uncontrollable…

The maximum value of an Ethereal Entity? It was unheard of.

Their current experimental goal was merely at the shallow stage of how to amplify thought energy and manifesting thought into reality.

Moreover, the embarrassing repetition had already led him to a disastrous failure in this crucial experiment.

What he had anticipated was already dead…

So Shen Molin did not answer; he simply placed his hand on the screen.

You want to terminate the experiment? The strange man pointed a finger coldly. You can’t.

Instantly, out of thin air, Shen Molin’s breathing was suspended. The blood in his body stagnated along with his pulse; only his thoughts continued to move, clearer and more prominent than ever.

How did he do it?

How did I do it? The strange man spoke his inner thoughts as if reading his mind. Stupid.

So, he really did appear out of thin air; this was not a hallucination. His arrival here must be related to thought energy…

The strange man neither confirmed nor denied it. He simply ignored him and looked back at the hypnotized researcher before him.

0.0017%.

Shen Molin gasped, struggling to push himself up from the desk. He saw the same estimated value on the screen labeled Fluctuation Percentage. Their original experimental plan was to amplify the subject’s intent through external stimuli and attempt to lift the cube in front of them remotely.

If nothing went wrong, if everything went smoothly, the field around the cube would change, and the monitoring data would shift. He could prove a truth and realize something he had long endured and could only imagine…

Useless thing. A waste of time.

Shen Molin watched as the man raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The living human disintegrated like dry wood burning to ash, every single cell scattering and vanishing, turning to dust like shifting sands…

This…

For someone like him, who came from a family that had always dealt with science, it was hard not to doubt: Was this… really reality?

Just like that time… like a hallucination…

A miracle! It was beyond imagination; this was simply… a miracle!

There was no other way to explain it. If this was the power of thought, then his research direction was not wrong at all! They truly could achieve Noetic Control! This could entirely become a new academic discipline! His failures had not been in vain!

I… might have truly discovered a new theory!!

I might actually be able to fulfill that wish I have been suppressing…

Perhaps his inner voice was too loud; the strange man stopped and looked at him, like observing a guinea pig in a glass jar.

Shen Molin quickly suppressed his sudden, inexplicable excitement and regained his composure.

To this guy, I am also in the way…

You are wondering why I don’t kill you, the strange man said calmly, voicing his inner thoughts. But the answer is right on the surface.

The strange man moved closer, allowing Shen Molin to see more clearly. He saw that the eerie black substance on the man’s back was actually growing out from within his body, and beneath that twisted, rotting flesh was a face all too familiar to ordinary people…

Wait… wait…

Because we are pure products who let curiosity triumph over the instinct for survival. We are the best test subjects.

The stronger and purer the desire, the more powerful the energy it contains. This proportional relationship is easy to understand, isn’t it?

Through the glass window, the strange man extended a hand symbolizing cooperation. Shen Molin saw that his hand was covered in blood.

We are… the same.

Don’t you want the experiment to succeed?

These words brought a terrifying resonance, causing Shen Molin’s internal defenses to waver instantly. He was aware enough to realize the other was brainwashing him, but the approval in his heart amplified and lingered like an echo, causing him to choose to let it be.

He watched as the strange man nonchalantly put on the experimental gear and connected himself to the EEG monitoring equipment. He looked down at the power at his fingertips, unsure if his fate was still in his own hands…

Increase the stimulus source to the maximum value you can reach.

Or… had it long ago been branded as an inevitable path by some unachievable grandfather paradox?

After fourteen seconds of deliberation, Shen Molin slowly pushed his hand toward the plus key.

Shen Molin. Shen Molin, open the door.

Behind him, outside the lab door, he heard the sound of someone knocking. He snapped awake, realizing many overlooked facts.

Ah… what he wanted so desperately shouldn’t still be this selfish…

He was putting the cart before the horse; he had done all this for that person…

So he couldn’t!

He immediately and swiftly withdrew his hand, slamming his fist into the fire alarm on the wall.

You can use the power of thought to control me or kill me, but why can’t you stop me from terminating the experiment? Amidst the sirens, Shen Molin’s voice was loud and powerful.

It seems you don’t fully understand how to utilize this power yet, either.

He proudly pointed out the flaw in the strange man’s theory, but he did not get the experimental result he wanted. He only saw the overhead lights burst and extinguish, and a pair of bright yellow eyes stared at him through the darkness.

A cold snort followed.

I don’t need to. That is your business.

The lights on the control panel flickered, and a single set of numbers began to leap relentlessly.

0.0034%, 0.0251%, 0.1856%, 10.13526%…

Shen Molin heard screams mixed with the alarms; they were noisy and hoarse, giving him a splitting headache.

Shen Molin! Shen Molin! The knocking outside became more violent and urgent, almost as if they were going to break down the door. Shen Molin turned his head and locked eyes with the person pressed against the window.

74.889984%, 553.3662908%, 4088.8545661602%…

He looked back at the numbers that were almost jumping off the screen, red as blood. He saw them fly up, converging toward the strange man in a dextrorotatory spiral. He saw the strange man quietly lowering his eyes, his wings wrapped tightly around him like a newborn about to be born.

Exponential… he murmured, blocking the door with his body. It’s too fast…

Fourteen seconds. It was clearly the same fourteen seconds. Yet he felt as if time had been distorted, as if a specific amount of calculation time had been left just for him.

2.718? No… it should be the natural constant e…

30211.775769726737%, 223243.89506692352%, 1649561.66439285%…

Yes, it is e to the power of x! f(x) = 0.0034% e! This is the Phase One Ethereal Growth Formula!

It could not grow indefinitely; it would surely reach a maximum value, a critical threshold, and then break through the physical boundary! That value was the key node where quantitative change transformed into qualitative change! It heralded a brand new stage! A…

A…

Separated by a single wall, the voice behind him remained in place amidst the fleeing crowd.

Qi Ruiqing, run!!

A… or rather, a balloon. When the gas inside keeps filling and increasing, when its elastic stretch reaches the elastic limit…

It explodes. The energy it originally contained would burst out within nanoseconds, destroying everything.

Bang! Just like that…

Taking the brunt of it, Shen Molin did not feel any pain. But as the explosion occurred, he felt as if something like a legacy of knowledge had slipped into his mind.

He finally saw those wings being sucked into a strange point. Those eyes projected through his body toward the face behind him, then closed.

Then came total darkness and nothingness.

In the persistent ringing of his ears, there were distorted shouts of people. He vaguely heard that voice still insistently calling his name.

He lost all sensation below his waist instantly. Shen Molin knew he was pinned by something—perhaps a collapsed floor slab or a fallen pipe—but his pelvis must have been crushed to dust.

In any case, he could not escape on his own.

I’m here, I’m here, hold on…

Someone seemed to reach out into the darkness and touch him.

Shen Molin, stay awake…

He could not wake up.

Ah… well…

It seemed this was the end.

What a pity… I haven’t yet…

Shen Molin tried his best to look up and memorize the person’s face.

I… I’ll come back to save you… Wait for me, I’ll find someone to help…

He believed it. Shen Molin had always believed…

But he knew this was their last meeting.

Unavoidable fate, karma—this was the reality that he was currently powerless to resist.

In the stretched-out time, only coldness and weight gradually and lethally increased. Shen Molin could only hear his own gasps, sharp as barbs, fading into a thin thread as his body heat vanished, infinitely approaching zero.

That’s it, someone said to him from the void, sounding slightly excited. I did it. I can go to…

Its voice was sucked into the event horizon, slowly dimming, and finally blurred by the cries of others for help or in grief.

Shen Molin really wanted to ask him: Why do this?

Why do something that would hurt Qi Ruiqing?

Shen Molin, why?

He could not figure out the result of the final problem because the thirteen-minute death countdown ended the moment the bell rang to hand in the paper.

Thirteen minutes was enough for the energy collective to naturally rise to the second limit. The range of the second explosion far exceeded the first phase. At the center of the explosion, he collapsed and distorted along with the laboratory building, becoming a pale name on the list of the missing.
