Chapter 167 167. Calculation
Hearing the prompting of his intuition, Jiang Jianxin stood as still as a pine tree, his breathing rhythm remaining perfectly steady.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence, with only the rustling sound of fabric moving behind the frosted door, like some lurking creature adjusting its posture in the dark.

The super artificial intelligence watched her gently from the television screen.

The television screen gleamed with a cold light, and as the silver-haired boy pulled up the hood of his raincoat, the waterproof fabric made a soft rustling sound.

Blue data streams rapidly flowed through his eyes, and a white text box appeared on the screen.

The system's default black Song typeface, size 4, is silently appearing above:
The visual barrier coefficient of the sliding door material was detected to be 97.3%.

[Unidentified eavesdroppers cannot see inside.]

The keyboard beeped, signaling its activation, and the AI ​​tapped the screen. Another string of text appeared below the dialog box:
[Safe input mode is now enabled]

Suddenly, the television screen rippled with a water-like pattern, and the outline of a full keyboard emerged from the depths of the picture tube.

This is the most common Pinyin input method interface, yet it is strangely displayed on this old-fashioned CRT television.

Jiang Jianxin had never seen such an odd combination before. She slowly walked to the keyboard and tentatively tapped a key.

Typing on the keyboard is smooth and there are no problems, and Ayu has also turned the sound off.

Jiang Jianxin glanced at the blurry, motionless black shadow on the sliding door, slightly relieved, and typed in the text box:

I'm so sorry you had to encounter this situation as soon as you arrived.

The AI ​​agent has no emotions, but Jiang Jianxin is a very well-mannered person, so he chose to start the conversation with some simple and polite words.

"Please don't be so polite. I still have nine-tenths of my computing power available, and my father said he can do his best to help you."

The artificial intelligence responded almost instantly after Jiang Jianxin sent the message.

[What is the current situation of Your Excellency, the outlaw?]

Upon hearing that A Yu had mentioned Wen Yu, Jiang Jianxin typed a message asking.

I helped my father connect with the journalist, and with the journalist's help in reporting breaking news, my father gained tremendous strength and is currently in good condition.

Seeing that Wen Yu was still alive and doing well, Jiang Jianxin felt somewhat relieved. She continued typing:

What's the current status of this underwater contaminated area instance?

The AI's response appears quickly:
According to my father's analysis, an unidentified extraterrestrial substance has fallen here, causing the underwater pollution zone to expand continuously. This extraterrestrial substance is related to "gods" and is suspected to be a relic of a higher god—because my father's power has been suppressed.

Jiang Jianxin pondered the meaning of A Yu's words:
[Who is this outlaw...?]

My father is the agent of the god of nothingness.

With Wen Yu's permission, A Yu explained frankly.

Jiang Jianxin rubbed his temples, surprised that Wen Yu had such an identity.

The relic of the higher god that Ayu mentioned is most likely the thing she lost in her fourth playthrough. Unexpectedly, that thing is also related to the God of Death and Silence.

Now, with Masaharu Kondo and Ono Yu, the agent of the god of nothingness, in the contaminated area, she doesn't know if she can find that thing before everyone else.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jianxin typed:
What is your father doing right now? Is he searching for divine relics?

Ayu nodded:
[Finding it is the key to cracking this contaminated area—but it's not easy to find. My father searched along several subway lines and blew up more than ten stations, but he still couldn't find it.] Jiang Jian thought for a moment and asked the question he was most curious about:
I'd like to know, how did you find that thing? The site is so big... Did you just search through everything, or did you have some kind of special sensor?

That's right.

Ayu explained to her:
Based on past experience, relics can be large or small, and are difficult to find if hidden inside the site. My father's usual strategy is to directly and violently destroy the site. If it were here, it would emit a noticeable fluctuation under the impact of such a powerful force.

The AI's words flashed in the text box, and Jiang Jianxin stared at the line of text, lost in thought.

The mechanism in Xingfuli Community is actually quite simple: as long as you don't break your persona, just keep playing the role of the landlord and avoid round after round of probing from the original residents.

However, the number of residents in a building is limited, and given the current speed of darkness, it's only a matter of time before they find themselves again.

I remember looking at the calendar before, in which Yin Qingyue's fifth generation described a lot of information about the dungeon, but didn't mention how to get out at all.

Jiang Jianxin guessed that she probably couldn't find a way out and eventually died here.

As someone with the ability to resurrect infinitely, Jiang Jianxin is not afraid of dying here. He could even jump off the building to escape the trap and return to the cemetery.

But the key is that if the ending is death, and she returns to the cemetery station, then her trip to Xingfuli Community will have been in vain—Jiang Jianxin felt that since she had stayed in Xingfuli for so long, she still had to check if there were any belongings left inside before leaving.

It would be such a pity if she missed out on something that truly contained relics due to a lack of consideration.

However, if they want to find the relics, they now face another problem—

Her sword master power is sealed, so she definitely can't destroy the site with her fists and feet.

Chu Guogong Chu Zhibai wasn't sure if she could handle it, but Jiang Jianxin estimated that even someone who controlled paper would have a hard time dealing with concrete skyscrapers.

Now, the only way she can quickly destroy the Xingfuli residential area without having to lift a finger or exert any effort is to do so.

Jiang Jian stared calmly at the text box, placed his hands on the keyboard, and typed a few more lines.

Outside the sliding door, the Teru Teru Bozu (a Japanese doll) couldn't hear the sounds inside and kept trying to enter the room.

It wasn't as quick-witted as humans. Seeing the sliding door, it assumed it was a door that could be opened directly, so it kept banging on the sliding door, trying to break it open.

Just then, it heard a sound coming from inside:

"...That's pretty much it. I'm sure of it. That thing is right here."

The unique, cool voice of the Premonition House drifted out from inside the house and, through the hearing sensor of the Teru Teru Bozu, was clearly transmitted to Masaharu Kondo's ears.

"...I'll go tonight, get that thing, and then it'll all be over."

In a room downstairs, Masaharu Kondo sat on the sofa, took a sip of water, squinted, and murmured:
"Precognition... what a powerful ability... that thing really was here."

He looked at the exquisite and adorable teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll shaped like a teru teru bozu) hanging on the living room wall, which he always carried on his back and was about half a meter tall, and revealed a deep look in his eyes:

"The original residents are about to find out anyway... so let's do it tonight—little thing, you can finally have a feast."

Ugh, the water production model kept giving me errors. It wasn't until 1 a.m. that I finally managed to analyze the rainfall data. The model kept me up all night, so I didn't take a day off and stayed up all night writing again.

Ugh, it's true! Sometimes I wish I could drag Ayu out of the book and have it make a water production model for me so I could add the numbers. That would be so much better! If it were Ayu, it would definitely be much better than those unfixable AI robots I have on hand.

Tomorrow I'll be fixing bugs and doing some final editing. Time for bed, goodnight everyone!
