Chapter 255. Temporary Administrator

Jiang Jianxin frowned, paused for a moment, and then answered the phone:

"Hey?"

The voice of AI Ayu came from the other end of the phone:

"Jiang Jianxin, I'm sorry to bother you at this hour."

It states:

"Just now, my father, Wen Yu, was mentally controlled by the blind therapist in the mental hospital. He has lost his memory and has become his puppet."

Jiang Jianxin was very surprised to hear this news:
"Wen Yu is under mind control and has lost his memory?"

"Yes."

Ayu replied.

"The blind master sent Lord Lin Xin'an, but my father was no match for him and his memory was erased."

Jiang Jianxin's mouth dropped open in surprise, and a few words silently surged through his mind:
What's so strange about this? It's all thanks to the distortion of the truth.

Can distorting the truth erase memories?

Jiang Jianxin asked in his mind.

[It's been modified; the AI's judgment wasn't accurate.]

Intuition replied.

She didn't answer her intuition, but instead spoke to Ayu on the phone:
"Do you want me to help you rescue Wen Yu?"

Jiang Jianxin's mind raced as he considered the current situation.

Wen Yu was controlled by the blind master, who was a famous person with a talent for mind control.

Without awakening his precognitive abilities and gaining overwhelming power in the next round, Jiang Jianxin would find it difficult to guarantee that his mental realm wouldn't be invaded by these professional mind control individuals.

If Ayu really asked her for help, she would have to find an excuse to decline.

It's not that I'm unwilling to save Wen Yu, it's just that the risk is too great. Now that we're going against the Bright Alliance of Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals, it's easy to get myself killed.

Just as Jiang Jianxin was pondering how to respond, A Yu's answer was quite unexpected:
"No, according to the contingency plan left by my father, in the event that the administrator cannot be contacted, I will bind you as my temporary administrator."

Do you accept?

Jiang Jianxin really hadn't expected this reply, and she exclaimed "Ah!" again.
"Isn't your father an elder of the Dream Maker Pavilion? Why would you bind yourself to me? Wouldn't it be better to bind yourself to another elder of the Dream Maker Pavilion?"

She and Wen Yu belonged to different factions and didn't have a deep friendship. When she suddenly entrusted her orphanage to her on her deathbed, Jiang Jianxin asked a few more questions to be on the safe side.

"This was an emergency plan made by my father, but he didn't tell me the specific reasons."

Ayu replied.

"However, it should be related to the email you sent to your father."

Jiang Jianxin nodded and said:

“That…Your Excellency, didn’t you only tell Wen Yu that you wanted my help to find He Ping? This doesn’t seem to make any sense.”

Ayu hesitated for a moment, but still confessed:
"In fact, my father received more than one email."

It paused and continued:
"After he found you, he soon received a second email with the same signature. This email was only about my father, so I didn't tell you about it."

"My father made this contingency plan after reading this email, and locked you as the priority administrator."

Jiang Jianxin was completely confused and curious about the second email Wen Yu had received. Just as she was about to ask about its contents, her intuition gave her the answer first:

The second email from the precognitive master foretold that he would one day be mind-controlled, even have his memories altered, and told him what would happen to A-Yu if he returned her to the Dream Pavilion. He didn't want that future to occur, so he chose to obey the precognitive master's wishes and handed her over to you.

Jiang Jianxin's pupils dilated:
[No, he's supposed to be a lawless outlaw, why is he... so obedient?]

Intuition stirred within me once more:
[Besides this future, the prophet also foretold several other futures, including the assistance of a master to the Dream Pavilion, Qin Xuan's downfall in the Dawn Battle, the emergence of the Orange Emperor in the Chaoyang Battle, and even your return to aid Zuo Siquan.]

[This series of prophetic predictions has come true, and everyone who comes will have to behave themselves.]

After a moment of silence, Intuition whispered again:
The future I've given you is already the best ending for A-Yu. Once Wen Yu is imprisoned, Dream Pavilion will no longer be a way out.

Jiang Jianxin understood where Wen Yu's obedience came from—anyone would shudder at the sight of a prophecy that was always accurate.

But she still frowned and pressed on:

Why was Wen Yu restricted, making it difficult for A Yu to return to the Dream Pavilion?

This brings us to the nature of the Dream Pavilion as a faction.

Intuitively, I answered:
Every faction has a leader—but have you ever heard of the Master of the Dream Pavilion?

Jiang Jianxin pondered for a moment, then was surprised to find that while browsing the forum, he only saw people discussing the elders of the Dream Pavilion, and no one had mentioned the Pavilion Master.

【……No.】

Intuition calmly stated:
[That's right, the leader of the Dream Pavilion isn't human at all; it's the "God of Nothingness," a being who wanders the void beyond the realms, skilled at creating illusions.]

[A virtual humanoid being like Ayu is an excellent vessel for the Void God; with a little further development, it can become a catalyst for extraterrestrial gods to descend upon this realm.]

Intuitively, the handwriting suddenly darkened, taking on a somewhat obscure meaning:
The God of Nothingness has truly descended, which is terrifying for Wen Yu.

It paused, seemingly considering its wording:

Some truths are too early to reveal. Just remember—when gods and their agents coexist in the same realm, the latter will suffer a fate worse than death.

"The emperor is far away," is the first rule in the survival guide for those acting on behalf of the emperor.

Jiang Jianxin hesitated and said:

[Really? Then why does my brother keep hoping his boss will come back?]

[...That one was a god in human form, and he returned as a civilized person—how can he be compared to that group of indescribable beings twisted like pretzels?]

Intuition speaks plainly.

[Your brother is incredibly lucky; he's been blessed with a kind-hearted god. He's an exceptional case, so he's not included in the sample statistics.]

Jiang Jianxin didn't answer again; instead, she asked the artificial intelligence:
"Does a priority administrator have a stable second-highest level of privilege?"

"Yes."

Ayu replied.

Jiang Jianxin suddenly realized.

No wonder she used A Yu's privileges to rescue Qin Xuan, and Wen Yu didn't revoke her privileges even after he found out.

It turns out that she had already been designated as the priority administrator, so the permissions could not be revoked.

Compared to the rise and fall of the company, his own life was obviously more important, so Wen Yu never changed his mind after binding himself to her, even when the wise man pointed fingers at him.

Everything she found abnormal turned out to be perfectly normal; there were no fools or idiots making choices, only choices driven by self-interest.

After clarifying everything, Jiang Jianxin felt relieved and finally spoke:

"Then I accept becoming your temporary administrator."

I'm here! I've finally finished writing. Time for bed! Goodnight, everyone~
