Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 511

I wasn't the only one researching AI chip technology for brain application. Researchers from several other countries were working on it too.

I had met quite a few people from the same field at the international academic exchange conference in Falveria. We had hit it off immediately and even made plans. Once I went to Muricano, we would form a research team and collaborate.

After the conference, we had also created a chat group. Once we had returned to our respective countries, we would often share issues and ideas in the group.

At first, the chat group was very active. Whenever a question came up, everyone would share their views. But not long after, the responses dwindled.

I had assumed we had simply drifted apart. I never imagined they had all been captured too.

Among them was Dr. Cooper Schneider, who was the one I was most familiar with. He looked at me and smiled bitterly.

As the one who had personally captured each of us, Simon knew we were all acquainted with one another.

Smiling as always, he said, "You're all from the same field, and I'm sure most of you already know each other. So, there's no need for introductions.

"This is Ms. Quill's latest research result. Let's review it together and see how we can use it to achieve a breakthrough as quickly as possible!"

He projected my data onto the large screen. When everyone saw it, their eyes were filled with surprise and recognition. They confirmed the research result was indeed real and legitimate.

Once everyone did, Simon had to leave because he had something to take care of. He said he would leave us alone to discuss it before stepping out. The moment he stepped out, everyone in the discussion room unconsciously exhaled in relief.

The brain-chip technology we envisioned developing was intended to treat medical conditions. We wanted to help patients who had suffered traumatic brain injuries and were in a coma or bedridden due to paralysis.

The technology was meant to help patients regain their independence and memory, stop cognitive decline, cure mental illnesses… The list goes on. It was never meant to be used to control people and force them to obey someone else's will.

His words caused the relaxed and light mood in the room to turn gloomy and heavy again. None of us wanted to be in this current situation, but we didn't have the power to change it.

This criminal organization had our weaknesses in its tight grip, though there were a few amongst us that this didn't apply to.

But never mind all that. The organization could kill us at any moment. So, no matter how unwilling we were or how much we hated it, we could only comply.
