Life in North America, you call this an autopsy officer?!

Chapter 223: Chapter 167 Royal Ace Agent, Covert, Return to Los Angeles

The old man shrugged his shoulders, "We want to test the limits of your neurological responses. Before you, we have never encountered anyone so compatible with the ’Neurological Response Activity’ reagent."

"My enhancement effects are way above standard?"

"Way above. If the effect on others after using the ’Neurological Response Activity’ reagent is 1, then you are at 1.2, or even more. After all, you were injected not long ago, and there is still room for slow growth."

The old man was quite talkative, "So this test could also benefit you. It could maximally stimulate the remaining reagent in your body, speeding up the absorption and development at the nerve endings."

Brian understood instantly.

He was no epitome of compatibility, it was simply because with ’Body Control’ + ’Pheromone Control’, he could absorb and digest the reagent at the fastest rate, and that’s why his progress seemed so significant.

Anyone with these two talents would not perform worse than him in absorbing the reagent after injection.

Of course, Brian certainly wouldn’t explain any of this.

He just said, "Okay, I didn’t expect it to be so simple. Whatever tests you have, let’s start."

"It’s not simple.

If we can figure out the reasons behind this, it could greatly enhance an organization’s or a power’s capabilities, perhaps even advancing many projects in current biological research.

Of course, it might also be a wasted effort.

Research is like this; as long as there’s a possibility, we don’t want to miss any hope."

The old man rambled on, then couldn’t help but complain, "You don’t seem to be as troublesome as the Night Demon Organization said. You seem very cooperative."

He had a good first impression of Brian, the handsome young man.

Brian just smiled, saying nothing.

Smith, standing by, rolled his eyes, "Professor Bell, please hurry up. To get his compliance, we provided an additional ’Class A’ reagent and agreed to some extra conditions."

Bell:...

What a waste of his emotions!

...

Brian’s ’cellular structure’ was backed up at the Night Demon base.

But apart from higher than average cellular activity, no other findings were uncovered.

Therefore, the testing items this time were very simple, only two.

One was the blank bullet evasion.

The other was a real hand-to-hand combat scenario.

Before the first test, Brian carefully checked the props to ensure they were all blanks, then donned the Bullet-Proof Vest and took his place on the open ground.

This test had three rounds.

Single, triple, and quintuple opponents.

The distance was kept at ten meters.

Ten meters is the relative safety distance for blanks.

Too far, and the already slower-flying blanks would hardly serve the testing purpose.

Brian was also very interested in this.

Without revealing his full strength, such testing could help him understand his own capabilities as well.

The test began.

Brian controlled his speed to about the explosive power of running 100 meters in eight or nine seconds and watched the combat personnel in front.

The others were clearly elite operatives themselves, drawing and firing immediately, emptying their magazines in three seconds, with bullets flying all around Brian’s space, minimizing his chances of finding an angle to dodge.

Almost at the moment the gun was fired.

Brian immediately entered a strange state: all the surrounding noises and moving objects slowed down three to five times. His eyes underwent subtle changes, relaying the objects in his field of vision to his brain in order of their distance, after which the neurological information was transformed and then passed on to his body for response.

This speed of neural transmission was his neurological response.

Previously, even if Brian could barely make out the trajectories and movements of these blank bullets, without dodging in advance, his body simply wouldn’t have been quick enough to respond.

Now, it was completely different!

He easily dodged the path of over a dozen bullets with mere left and right dodges and a bend at the waist.

Brian even felt the urge to catch the bullets with his hands.

This experience was truly amazing, exhilarating!

...

Watching Brian narrowly dodge those bullets in the 200x slow-motion replay captured by the ultra-high-definition camera, Professor Bell nodded and looked to the stern man beside him, "Agent 5, how do you feel?"

The stern man nodded slightly,

"The speed is average, the reaction is decent.

I’ve heard his strength is also substantial, and he has very subtle force application techniques.

Unfortunately, his speed is far below mine, it would be difficult for him to hit me. If the target has rich combat experience, they might last a while against me; otherwise, I could take them down in no more than two seconds."

Hand-to-hand combat is a combination of speed and strength.

The instant contact, delivering a sudden explosive strike.

Speed, strength, reaction, if any one of these is overwhelmingly lesser, it’s a qualitative difference!

Professor Bell naturally nodded, "You are a member of the Top Agent group, and he used to be just an Autopsy Officer. He can manage against those regular elites, but it would be hard for him to dominate as before against you lot, the inhumans."

During the conversation.

Brian had already completed the second round of testing with difficulty.

With three guns aimed at him and restraining his speed and explosive power, and restraining from preemptively dodging, he was nearly hit.

The third round of testing began.

Five well-coordinated guns were fired.

Brian barely burst out before the Bullet-Proof Vest was struck.

The test ended.

...

Brian pretended to be disappointed, "Too hard. When there’s a large number of guns, my brain and eyes can’t keep up."

The stern man standing before Professor Bell nodded, "You haven’t undergone special training to develop instinctive bullet dodging reactions. With this performance, you are already quite impressive. Your capabilities have my recognition."
