I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 199 [Human Emotions Are a Disadvantage]

[The operation failed, you go find her]

Xu Zhe will rush to North City immediately.

[Tonight, Xu Zhe must be killed]

In Beicheng, in the information technology center of the new campus of Beicheng University, which has not yet opened, a line of words was projected into the darkness.

[Just tell her what I taught you, and don’t worry about anything else]

She won't refuse, she will handle it very cleanly.

Go, go now, immediately

Taoyuan looked at the room that had become quiet again, and there was urging in the words.

"elder brother."

But the ethereal voice did not leave or agree immediately.

"Things have changed, brother. I think you need to recalculate."

"Now, through Yu Yu's death order, we know that Xu Zhe's fatal weakness is his ears, that is, his voice."

"As long as we can't make him hear, we can kill him."

"So, to kill Xu Zhe, we don't need to use that gluttonous ghost. Knowing Xu Zhe's weaknesses, our own people can also do it."

"We can kill Xu Zhe, save Yu Shi, save Yun Xia, save Wang Xi, save everyone."

"Brother, please recalculate."

The ethereal voice echoed in the dark room.

Let the words projected in the air fluctuate like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

【no】

You believe Xu Zhe's fatal weakness is hearing, based on the fact that he couldn't help but want to pierce his left ear under Yu Yu's death order.

But we don’t know what will happen after the puncture and loss of hearing.

After a pause of half a minute, Taoyuan's voice came directly.

[What's more, Xu Zhe's right ear is now disabled, so he will definitely focus on protecting his left ear.]

[In summary, the probability of our people killing Xu Zhe is less than 100%, and there is a considerable risk]

[So we must activate that chess piece and make sure Xu Zhe dies.]

[That gluttonous ghost, she will 100% kill Xu Zhe, she will 100% eliminate all hidden dangers]

Even if someone were to pick up Xu Zhe after arriving in North City, she would be able to handle it 100% of the time.

Taoyuan seemed to be analyzing an event that had nothing to do with him from a third-party perspective.

"Brother, even if we don't kill Xu Zhe now, things won't get completely out of control."

"Because Yu Yu changed her instructions to Xu Zhe at the end, she used her last bit of strength to erase Xu Zhe's memory."

"This means Xu Zhe is still suspicious of Lin Xing'an, but there is still no evidence."

"So even if our people didn't kill Xu Zhe and only saved Yu Shi and the others, things wouldn't get completely out of control."

The ethereal voice began to fluctuate.

This is normal human emotional fluctuation.

[Given Yu Yu's condition at the time, there was a chance that her forget command would fail.]

Even if it doesn't lose its effect, Xu Zhe will simply forget everything he figured out after meeting Yu Yu. After returning to North City, he will still be suspicious and investigate Lin Xing'an.

[What's more, he also has Yu Shi, Wang Xi, Yun Xia, who know Lin Xing'an's past.]

[These people are in Xu Zhe's hands and pose a great threat to Lin Xing'an]

Therefore, Xu Zhe must die.

Taoyuan still had no emotion at all and said coldly.

It's like it has really become a cold AI that simply inputs various situations and then outputs a result.

"Or, brother, we can save Yu Shi and the others from Xu Zhe."

"Xu Zhe is so weak now, and we also know Xu Zhe's fatal weakness."

"So, why don't we make it our goal to save them instead of killing Xu Zhe?"

"Rescue them. Even if Xu Zhe isn't killed, Xu Zhe's investigation of Lin Xing'an is nothing more than a test without any evidence. I believe Lin Xing'an can handle it."

In the darkness, a blue figure slowly emerged.

She was a girl who looked like a high school student.

She floated in the air like a ghost.

Lin Xing'an could handle one, ten, or even a hundred attempts, but what about the one hundred and first? The one hundred and second?

Once Xu Zhe suspects him, Lin Xing'an will never have a peaceful day in the committee.

We must create a comfortable environment for Lin Xing'an so that he can achieve our desired goals in the committee.

Especially after I went into complete hibernation

Taoyuan's tone remained unchanged.

It seemed impossible to be persuaded.

"Brother, what are you talking about?"

"Lin Xing'an is not a tool for us to achieve our goals."

"Lin Xing'an is our partner and our compatriot. He achieved not only our goals but everyone's goals."

【That’s why】

Taoyuan paused.

It seems like he is calculating something again.

"Your idea has too many loopholes. If you let our people rescue people instead of killing Xu Zhe, it will definitely leave traces in front of Xu Zhe."

[Once being tracked by other gluttonous ghosts, or causing casualties, it will lead to more serious consequences and trigger more probabilities.]

[Letting the gluttonous ghost kill Xu Zhe is the simplest, most direct, and least troublesome option]

[And the price is just the death of a few people]

【I believe in 100% probability】

Regarding Lin Xingan, I don’t want any hidden dangers.

Taoyuan did not pause to think or hesitate this time.

Instead, he spoke in a cold voice, almost commandingly.

"…Just a few deaths? Only? A few people?"

The blue figure repeated the sentence in a trembling voice.

There was disbelief on his face.

The projected beam of light flickered.

"Brother, Yu Yu changed the order in the end because he wanted everyone to survive."

"She could guess what you would do if she hadn't killed Xu Zhe."

"That's why she retracted the nearly impossible-to-implement Class A Death Order and replaced it with a Class B order that was certain to come true."

"Brother, Yu Yu has done what she can."

The probabilities I calculated and the countless branch lines I simulated all told me that I must kill Xu Zhe with 100% certainty.

So, go find her immediately.

I don't want any hidden dangers.

Taoyuan seemed to have not heard a word his sister said.

He just emphasized it again in an extremely firm manner.

The room fell into silence.

"...Brother, the destruction of the South City mainframe has made your calculations no longer accurate."

[South City's mainframe will not affect my computing power]

"Brother, don't you understand?"

"All your calculations, starting from the decision to kill Xu Zhe, are absolutely rational."

“You forgot to add emotion, you forgot to add human emotion.”

"The destruction of the South City mainframe has affected your most fundamental judgment, your judgment as a human being."

In the darkness, the girl, who looked like a ghost in blue, dived into a computer nearby as if diving into water.

After a few seconds, the computer boots up.

Sometimes, leaving emotions behind makes things simpler.

If you don't contact her, I will find her myself and ask her to kill Xu Zhe and eliminate the hidden danger.

"Brother, you said you didn't want any hidden dangers, so you wanted to kill Xu Zhe and everyone else." "But, the hidden danger you thought you knew was the real hidden danger."

My sister's voice came from the computer.

On the computer screen, lines of code are constantly flashing.

It seems to be generating and transmitting something.

"Brother, we place all our hopes of escaping the chicken coop on Lin Xing'an and the others."

"But, for Lin Xing'an himself, his inner goal, the real driving force behind his infiltration into the gluttonous ghost, is it really to find a way out of the chicken coop?"

Taoyuan was stunned for a moment by his sister's question.

His goal has always been to escape from the chicken coop and survive.

After a few seconds of pause, Taoyuan replied.

This is his analysis based on rationality and human behavior.

"No, brother, Lin Xing'an's goal is to escape from the chicken coop with the one he loves and live together."

"Brother, have you forgotten where the feathers on Lin Xing'an's chest came from?"

"Brother, have you forgotten how Lin Xing'an died?"

My sister's computer flickered.

I don’t know what file is on the screen, but it is still being transferred.

But she turned into a blue ghost again and broke away from the computer.

"Brother, with Yu Yu's help, Lin Xing'an never had a dream of paradise. Mother's arrival twelve years ago did not pose any threat to him at all."

"But why does he want to go back in time? Why does he want to go to Puguang Mountain?"

"Because when he woke up, he saw Yu Shi dead, his teacher Orange, Zhang Yunxi, and everyone who had helped and loved him disappeared."

His sister's words seemed to make Taoyuan think again.

[That was six-year-old Lin Xingan]

Lin Xingan is now eighteen years old.

Human growth is accompanied by the maturity of mentality and the change of judgment of form.

If Lin Xing'an were to make the choice again, I believe he would choose to listen to Eve.

After thinking about it, Taoyuan said.

But my sister shook her head.

"Brother, what is stored in Nancheng is your soul code."

"You are severely damaged."

There was a silent sigh in her eyes.

"Brother, you don't understand because you lack a soul. A person's essence and background cannot be changed."

"Saving everyone and solving the mystery surrounding Yu Yu was what motivated Lin Xing'an to constantly use his abilities to go back in time twelve years ago."

"That is also the fundamental motivation for him to sneak onto the committee now."

"Brother, do you think it's really important for Lin Xing'an to get out of the chicken coop?"

She paused.

It was as if giving Taoyuan time to understand this sentence.

"He's not dreaming of paradise, he won't become a sacrifice, and he possesses the A-level ability to rewind time. As long as he wants, he can rest easy in this chicken coop."

"He agreed to go undercover because he had to join the committee to uncover Yu Yu's secrets."

"Because the beginning and end of each round of chicken coops will pose a threat to the lives of Yu Shi and the others."

"So only by leaving the chicken coop and completely leaving this world can everyone find true safety."

"Brother, please add the simulated emotions I transmitted to you, understand my words again, rethink, and make a new decision."

Seeing that the things on the computer had been transferred, my sister also said.

And Taoyuan also began to receive it.

"Brother, if we let Yu Shi die, what will happen to you when Lin Xing'an finds out?"

"Or what if he actually achieved his goal and found a way out of the chicken coop, only to see that everyone he knew was gone?"

Human emotions are a drawback

If Lin Xing'an can't control his emotions, we just need to help him and not let him know what happened.

"Brother, don't tell me not to let Lin Xing'an know ever. You know that's impossible."

"Since we have placed all our hopes on Lin Xing'an, we should respect his opinion on the whole matter."

"You didn't consult me about the decision to kill Xu Zhe in Nancheng. Now, we must give the choice to Lin Xing'an."

My sister's voice was extremely serious.

But this time, Taoyuan didn't say anything.

【Understood】

After a long time, after the file was completely received, Taoyuan's voice sounded again.

As if the system was restarting, the room was filled with the humming sound of the radiator fan.

Xu Zhe has already left for South City.

Although Taoyuan's voice was still a cold electronic sound, it seemed to have some emotion in it again.

"Brother, you are now..."

[I can’t tolerate your emotions for too long now]

[While you were talking just now, I was already secretly contacting that gluttonous ghost]

[But fortunately, the message has just been forcibly intercepted by me]

"Brother, what do I need to do now? What do we need to do?"

Go and tell Lin Xing'an what happened immediately.

[Let Lin Xing'an decide what he wants to do]

[I will inform Juzi and have her and the others rescue Xu Zhe on the road he must take to return to North City.]

"...Let Orange and the others go?"

My sister frowned.

Orange and her friends have only been in South City for two months.

Taoyuan calculated that the peak period of the gluttonous ghost's search is three months.

In other words, there should be wanted photos of Orange and the others posted in the operations department of the North City Committee's Siege and Killing Division, which is responsible for searching for people and animals.

It will take at least three months before they withdraw.

Now let Orange and the others come forward...

The risk is huge!

And if the rescue operation really fails...

[Just let them go]

[Xu Zhe will enter the best ambush location in North City in two hours and thirty-four minutes]

[It’s too late to contact the cat now and let it find someone later]

[What's more, there is a traitor in the North City camp]

Taoyuan's speech speed quickened a bit.

The illusory figure also nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

【younger sister】

But as soon as she disappeared, Taoyuan's voice came again.

【I can only tolerate your emotions for thirty-seven minutes】

[After half an hour, you must force me to shut down and put me into a complete hibernation state]

[Otherwise, I, who have lost my emotions, will get into trouble]

A countdown appeared on the computer screen.

A thirty-minute countdown.

"it is good."

My sister nodded.

The blue light disappeared.

It was like a group of fireflies flying into the air, hiding under the snowflakes floating in the cold air.
