Chapter 1066 Who is the Real Culprit (Part 9)

Stepping out of Zhou Yun's dormitory, the wind in the corridor was refreshingly cool.

Yun Jizhao bit his lower lip, his whole body feeling as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, his eyes still blank.

He glanced sideways at Liu Sheng—

But she showed almost no sign of surprise.

He simply stood on the veranda, looking up at the evil-repelling mirror under the eaves, lost in thought.

The next moment, she leaped lightly, her fingertips gripping the beam, and peered closely at the mirror before gracefully landing.

Yun Jizhao was shocked: "What are you going to do?"

Liu Sheng: "We'll talk about it when we get back."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the dormitory.

Yun Jizhao quickly followed.

As soon as I entered the room, the door was slammed shut.

There were only the two of them in the dormitory.

Liu Sheng then took out the core array plate from the room and made some minor modifications with the inscription pen.

Yun Jizhao asked curiously, "This..."

Liu Sheng didn't even look up: "I just want to improve the soundproofing, anti-spying, anti-detection, and anti-attack effects."

Why do we need such good results?
Yun Jizhao felt a chill run down his spine.

For some reason, she didn't seem surprised at all that Liu Sheng could increase the strength of the magic array with just a few strokes.

As Liu Sheng pressed the spirit pearl into the array eye, the array plate flashed with light, and the room immediately fell silent, as if even the air itself had been imprisoned there.

The next moment, she took out the spiritual message, opened a light screen, entered a string of complex code, and entered a deeper layer of structure.

Yun Jizhao was dazzled by what he saw.

Only then did Liu Sheng begin to answer her initial question:

"I want to enter the Evil-Repelling Mirror and see if I can take over some of its powers..."

"how do you know--"

"What the 'world' taught me."

Liu Sheng opened a light screen, which displayed his chat history with "The World".

My eyes are filled with dense lines of code.

And Liu Sheng's witty questions:
How should I connect an external device to the exorcism mirror system?

How do I access the administrator interface to configure the warding-off mirror?

[If I forget my administrator password, is there an emergency way to reset it?]

Although the word "Hanshan Academy" was never mentioned in any of the sentences.

But if one is smart enough and can apply what one has learned to other situations, then one can deduce how to take over this protective mirror.

Of course, Yun Jizhao lamented that he didn't have that kind of brain.

As Liu Sheng typed the last string of code, the screen lit up—

A three-dimensional scatter plot composed of countless points of light emerges.

When superimposed onto the 3D map of Hanshan Academy, the scattered lights illuminate, forming a complete model.

Yun Jizhao was almost stunned: "This is... the distribution of the Evil-Repelling Mirrors throughout the entire Hanshan Academy?"

Liu Sheng nodded: "Now, we can access the real-time footage and historical records of each of the exorcism mirrors."

With a gentle tap, the real-time image of the warding-off-evil mirror appeared.

This is the view from outside Zhou Yunzhai's residence.

"You really got in? And of all people, this side!"

“Because it has a serial number,” Liu Sheng said calmly, “it can be precisely located within the local Skynet node.”

"Amazing……"

"The main reason is that 'the world' is powerful."

"Oh...yes."

Yun Jizhao nodded, seemingly understanding.

Actually, she was dazzled by Liu Sheng's fancy yet reasonable actions.

If she were to follow these guidelines given by the "world," she would probably have already gotten stuck.

Many operations cannot be deduced so easily. In the end, Liu Sheng relied on the superb deductive ability of the most powerful brain.

In this way, Liu Sheng effectively gained control of the "eyes" of the entire Hanshan Academy, making subsequent actions much simpler.

With a flick of the finger, the time was set to last night.

The mirage of the warding-off-evil mirror began to replay.

Yun Jizhao was also excited. "Wait—"

"Yes, I'm still thinking about the reasons for Zhou Yun's suicide."

Liu Sheng's gaze was deep, and he continued operating his hands.

“Indeed… I don’t understand it now. Surely they don’t have some deep-seated grudge that would make Zhou Yun risk her life to smear her roommate’s reputation?” Yun Jizhao scratched his head. “At least I didn’t sense any such deep grudge just now. At most, they weren’t that close…”

Do you remember what they said was the reason?

"Well, they said... they discovered that Zhou Yun wasn't actually as outstanding as she appeared; she just... had some kind of 'cheat code'."

Yun Jizhao tried hard to recall what the two had just said.

The term "cheating software" is very popular in [Seven Mysteries Mountain] now, so everyone understands it.

As for what Zhou Yun's "cheat code" is, the two of them still haven't revealed it.

The reason they were willing to reveal this was simply because Liu Sheng's reasoning had impressed them, causing them to temporarily lower their guard and hoping that Liu Sheng, who seemed to be particularly clever, could offer some advice.

Because they were also afraid—since Zhou Yun was so determined to do this, wouldn't she have other tricks up her sleeve?
"That's right, that's it."

Liu Sheng responded in a low voice, her hands moving without stopping as she selected frame by frame.

Finally, the door opened, and Zhou Yun's figure rushed out.

Upon closer inspection, the tear stains on the face are very clear.

They quickly ran out of the camera's field of view.

Following the direction she ran, Liu Sheng quickly located the next warding-off-evil mirror in the 3D model.

Sure enough, Zhou Yun was spotted again.

It quickly disappeared from the screen.

Following Zhou Yun's trail, Liu Sheng kept switching to the next evil-repelling mirror.

Finally, Zhou Yun stopped in the small courtyard between the women's and men's dormitories.

She collapsed to the ground, crying and trembling all over.

After a long while, she finally calmed down a bit, and as if she had made up her mind, she slowly pulled a small knife out of her storage bag.

"What is she trying to do! Suicide?" Yun Jizhao's hair stood on end. "No, that's not right, she didn't die from this..."

Liu Sheng didn't speak, she just stared at the screen.

The next instant, Yun Jizhao almost screamed—

Zhou Yun then plunged the tip of the knife deep into the back of her head.

Then, with another pry, the entire back of the head was lifted off.

A few strands of hair clung to the edge, and pink brain tissue pulsated slightly under the streetlight.

But she seemed to feel no pain, calmly taking out a palm-sized object from her pocket. Upon closer inspection, it was covered in dark brown bloodstains, and a faint glow appeared on it—

It turned out to be a spiritual message.

"What is she going to do..."

However, what happened next was beyond Yun Jizhao's imagination.

Zhou Yun placed the spiritual message into her cranial cavity. Her brain cells wriggled and made room, then wrapped it layer by layer, "swallowing" it deep into her mind.

Zhou Yun then put the skull down.

Strands of hair fell down, concealing the wound.

The whole process was very smooth, and it was obviously not the first time.

Yun Jizhao's face turned pale:
"So... this was her cheat code..."

Liu Sheng said in a deep voice, "She should be a new human."

This concept has been made public since the New Era of the Earth Mother, so she doesn't need to shy away from it.

Yun Jizhao's eyes widened in surprise: "Zhou Yun is a new human? Just like my sister?"

"Hmm, although I don't know exactly what it is, I can confirm that it should be part of her ability—maybe it's that her brain can hold things?"

"This doesn't sound very practical..." Yun Jizhao muttered to himself.

“But she was able to think of putting the spiritual message inside, so she could contact the ‘world’ at any time through the spiritual message,” Liu Sheng said calmly.

"By the way, she can ask questions during exams, and even rely on 'World' for prompts in daily interactions!"

Yun Jizhao was shocked and then suddenly realized.

"No wonder, no wonder she acted perfectly but also had a strange distance from everyone. It must be because—"

"Insincere?"

“Hmm, that seems to be the feeling,” Yun Jizhao murmured. “Although ‘the world’ is very sincere, when she tries to express it, there’s always a layer between her and it, so it’s not so…natural.”

At this moment, Yun Jizhao suddenly thought of:
"Wait, what if this is something she's hiding in her mind..."

"How did Du Xiwei and Yang Chunmei know this?"
