637: Chapter 636 Mind Overclocking! Predestined Deduction!
Nakamura Inao still remembered the background profile of the "Doctor."
Arthur Hines.
A former academician of the Eagle Country National Academy of Sciences, a world-class theoretical physicist and materials scientist, he had been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics twice and enjoyed the highest level of prestige in academia.
But just as famous as his academic achievements was his status as a long-term psychiatric patient.
Hines was diagnosed by authoritative institutions with high-functioning autism combined with paranoid personality disorder.
His social skills were virtually non-existent, and he showed extreme indifference and detachment toward everything except God and Science.
At the same time,
Hines was also among the first batch of believers who arrived at the Holy Land through an ascetic pilgrimage.
And during that fateful Saint Awakening Ceremony, Hines's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.
In that electrolyte vat, which was enough to completely destroy an ordinary person's willpower, he stubbornly endured for a full four hours!
This record was twice that of the previous First Saint, Professor Disser!
Hines's "Thought Overclocking" after awakening put unprecedented pressure on the entire Holy Land's technology research and development department.
The Doctor's learning and computational abilities had reached a truly appalling level.
Even more terrifyingly, Hines could combine all known fragmented information to perform a logical pre-judgment he called "Destined Deduction."
As long as he was given enough known variables,
he could deduce the ultimate direction of events with an extremely high—practically one hundred percent—accuracy rate.
The strategic value of this ability
even exceeded the sum of all other Saints' world-destroying physical superpowers combined!
Nakamura Inao pulled back his thoughts and took a deep breath.
No longer hesitating, he turned and walked toward another corridor, arriving in front of a dedicated elevator marked with the bright red words "Restricted Area."
He personally pressed the button for the lowest floor, the only one without a numerical label.
The elevator doors slowly closed, and it began to descend deeper into the earth.
On the corridor walls, the electronic indicator numbers representing depth kept ticking downward.
-500 meters...
-700 meters...
-1000 meters...
The elevator continued to descend at a steady speed, with no intention of stopping.
Nakamura Inao turned to the attendants behind him and instructed, "Inform Pope Smith that I am going to see the Doctor. If any accident occurs, initiate rescue operations immediately. As for the progress of the first stage of the Saints' Exclusive Armor, I will submit a complete report to him within today."
"Yes, Bishop."
...
Accompanied by a slight vibration, the elevator finally came to a slow stop when the numbers on the display screen ticked to "-1500 meters."
The metal doors slid open to both sides.
Instantly, a strong, metallic smell rushed over him.
Nakamura Inao frowned slightly, but he still walked out without hesitation.
His two attendants exchanged glances.
They could only steel themselves and follow.
Outside the elevator was a primitive rock tunnel that had been recently excavated.
There were no smooth alloy walls like those in the upper levels of the main base, only rough rock and exposed wiring.
At the end of the tunnel, a strange blue-white light faintly glowed. Accompanied by a buzzing electrical hum, it made the entire environment feel eerie and mysterious.
This was the Doctor's exclusive workspace.
An absolute restricted area belonging to the Doctor alone, independent of the entire Holy Land system and directly authorized by the "Lord."
