Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

[Star: Hey, that's true. Actually, the Starry Sky Train also has a Memory Receiver, but she's more docile.]

[Qingque: I have to admire your dedication. You've only recently provoked the Void Commander, and now you have a Wisdom Commander, plus Onfaros, and also Destruction and Memory.]

[Silver Wolf: Who gave them such an incredible ability? Meme bodies, ordinary forces can't restrain them at all, but the Commanders are no ordinary beings.]

[Hu Tao: So the fourth mirror really is a fourth mirror. I thought it had some deeper meaning, but I was just looking forward to nothing.]

Black Tower emerged from behind the mirror in front of the Memory Thief, grinning wickedly, "Hey, looks like some people weren't listening."

Chapter 295 Strange Numbers

The memory thief still tried to struggle, his eyes searching around.

"Haven't I already told you? With your meager skills... you think you can escape my grasp?" The scene flashed, and the Black Tower emerged from the mirror behind him again.

The Memory Thief slowly backed away, resisting with both hands, his voice sounding like he was about to cry.

"Black Tower...Lord Black Tower! What...what do you want to do..."

"I...I'll tell you everything! Yiting's secrets, what they're coveting...I'm willing to tell you everything! Please, please spare me..."

From its towering height, the Black Tower held the Memory Thief in its grasp, making him feel like a lab rat being manipulated at will.

"Oh dear, in such an emergency, is this all the life-saving words you can think of? This won't do."

"Do I need to remind you again? I am the Black Tower #83 of the Genius Club, the scholar who unravels the mystery of imaginary overflow, the key holder of the imaginary collapse weapon... Do you think I need any answers from you?"

"I...I..." The memory thief was afraid.

She oversimplified things. How could an envoy of wisdom be spied on by others? If she had encountered someone with a bad temper, she would probably have been annihilated.

[Star: What were you thinking? Poor Memory Maker, from now on you'll only be experimental material.]

[Zhongli: The Key Holder? Lady Black Tower has already created the imaginary number collapse pulse. It seems like not long has passed; Xing left Pinocene less than a year ago.]

[The Fourth Mirror: Don't you even know how intelligent the Great Lady Black Tower is? Why waste time on a weapon that's already finished? If you mess with her, you're done for.]

Wendy: The Black Tower lady is one of the most humane geniuses I've ever met, which is one of the reasons Chadwick entrusted his weapons to her.

[Zhe: Actually, I'm quite afraid of Screwgoom. As an Omnic King, although every word he says is very approachable, isn't excessive anthropomorphism a form of rationality?]

A soft, elastic, illusory arm extends from the mirror, pulling most of the Memory Thief's body inside. Black Tower's index finger lightly slides across her crystal mask, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Shh, don't make a sound. This is my moment to shine, just listen quietly."

"You infiltrated this place simply to steal the memories of the Venerable Master Boshi, didn't you?"

"They messed up my precious audience system all to lure me here and show you the way..."

Black Tower chuckled, "Too bad, you were just a hair's breadth away from completing the mission and returning to report..."

“Hmm…Hmm…” The memory thief was about to be submerged in the mirror, struggling in agony.

Black Tower withdrew his finger. "...Just kidding. You didn't have a single chance from beginning to end, hehe."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that only the Fourth Mirror is with me; its brothers and sisters have already seen everything you've done. Let me think... how should I punish such a daring thief?"

"Oh, I've got an idea! People in Yiting really like mirrors, right? So why don't I do you a favor and let you spend more time with the mirror?"

She paced back and forth around the memory thief, her gaze not lingering on him, talking to herself.

"The duration of the punishment... shouldn't be too harsh. How about one percent of your life? That's enough time for you to reflect properly."

[Gui Naifen: Ms. Heita is actually a pretty nice person. She only has one percent of her life; she got off easy.]

[Qingque: The people of Yiting are basically memes, and they have pretty long lifespans, probably around an Amber Age.]

[Star: But how did she know that the Black Tower wanted to see the Venerable Master?]

[Black Swan: The power of Memory Court is beyond imagination; based solely on the memories it has collected, it possesses intelligence covering the entire galaxy. Anyone with a broad perspective should understand the importance of information.]

[Walter: Cognition. Aptitude determines the lower limit, cognition determines the upper limit; one can never step into a realm beyond cognition.]

[Fufu: She's really brave! I thought she was spying on Lady Black Tower, but it turns out she's got her eyes on Master Boshi.]

The Black Tower stands with its back to the Memory Thief.

"Don't be afraid. Even if you're hidden inside the mirror, you can still contribute to this world. The little bit of life force energy you possess might just help me attract the attention of the machine head."

“Oh, I forgot to mention,” Black Tower turned to the side, “the one percent I just mentioned…”

"...That's multiplied by my lifespan."

With a wave of its hand, the fourth mirror completely swallowed it up.

[Fufu: Lady Black Tower is still very young, one percent isn't a very long time... Wait, did I forget something?]

[Navilette: The Black Tower, Genius Club #83. Multiple pieces of evidence suggest she has unlocked the mysteries of the human body and possesses the technology to reverse aging and achieve immortality.]

[Ring: This is a living father! Infinite lifespan multiplied by one percent is still infinite!]

[Linnie: So Lady Black Tower never intended to let the memory thief go from beginning to end. That's... kind of twisted humor, giving hope only to shatter it.]

[Black Swan: ...Ms. Black Tower, my previous statement about wanting to go to the space station is now off the table. I will absolutely not set foot there.]

[Black Tower: Oh dear, you're making me sound like a bad woman. As long as you don't mess with me, I'm quite easy to talk to.]

The black tower leaned back and stretched.

"Ha... I feel so relieved. I've finally gotten the problem out of the woods."

"Smack smack...Delicious, delicious..." the Fourth Mirror said contentedly.

Black Tower rolled its eyes at it. "Don't make any strange noises, or it'll make me look like I'm not quite right in the head. Let that little thief get some sleep first, and we'll decide what to do with her later."

As the terminal in front of me restarted, the space station's energy was rapidly depleted, while its computing power increased dramatically.

Black Tower murmured, "Machine Head, I went through so much trouble just to get to you, so you can't ignore me."

The scene shifts, and the Black Tower and the Fourth Mirror appear in the Narrow Passage of Fate.

The narrow passage between fate and destiny... is not a virtual scenario constructed from a simulated universe, but a real, tangible one...

Against the backdrop of the starry sky, chaotic meteorites follow a special trajectory, with matter spiraling upwards at the very center, and a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth.

As the Black Tower drew ever closer, his thoughts shifted constantly.

Machine head... Will you respond to me?

The first mirror blocked the way. "Ms. Black Tower...we've picked up some sounds in the narrow passage."

"Oh? Let me hear it." Black Tower became interested; if there were any unexpected discoveries, it would be worth it.

0001…0011……

Black Tower analyzed, "This sound is... binary operation? Could it be a machine head?"

1111…0002……

"Wait, how can 2 appear in binary operations?" Black Tower pondered, could it be octal?

Could it be that the erudite scholar is using a new algorithm?

"Are you kidding me...?"

The Black Tower gazes at the center of the narrow passage of fate, its feet continuing to move forward.

Soon, a second mirror blocked their path. "Lady Black Tower! Those voices have appeared again!"

"What should we do?! What should we do?!"

“Calm down, Second Mirror.” Black Tower stopped in its tracks. “What did it say again? Let me hear it again.”

Strange things really did happen one after another today.

0126...

Wait... this door doesn't seem to be locked.

Chapter 296 I Will Definitely Come Back

"Door? Lock?" Black Tower repeated twice before realizing what was happening.

"No, this isn't the voice of destiny at all... What's going on?"

I stood there for a long time, still completely baffled. Oh well, I'll keep going. No one can disturb me from asking the Venerable Master questions today.

[Doctor Truth: The strange numbers within the Narrow Passage of Fate, could they be a message sent by the Venerable One of Knowledge to the genius? The four numbers are spaced apart; I don't recall any such decoding table.]

[There must be a big secret here. Those are numbers sent by the Star God. If I can decipher their meaning, maybe I can become a genius too, hahaha!]

[ScrewGumm: Analysis: There is no special relationship between the arrays; the search is similar to exhaustive search. Boshizun's thinking is also similar to exhaustive search, considering all possible factors...]

[Scott: The secret of Stargod. I'm going to apply for a special grant from the company to study this code. If successful, a promotion to P40 won't be a problem.]

[Qingque: The more I look at it, the more something seems off.]

[Black Tower: Hey, didn't you guys see there was one more sentence at the end?]

[Lisa: Wait… this door doesn’t seem locked? Judging from the context, there should be at least two people, and they’re trying to find the… password!]

[Ring: Password? Seriously, it's in groups of four. Are they trying to brute-force the lock?]

[Silver Wolf: Hahaha, that's hilarious! There are still people using brute force these days? I'll laugh at them all day.]

[Walter: If it's a code door on the space station, then it's indeed very difficult to crack. But who is this? Entering a code without even locking the door? Xing, you absolutely mustn't do something like that.]

[Xing: Uncle Yang, what's the password? Tell me with my baseball bat.]

[Robin: The voice sounds familiar, brother... It's probably just my imagination. I miss you a little.]

[Sunday: Sis, what if that was me... wouldn't you think I'm being a little silly?]

[Robin: Of course not, you'll always be the best brother in my heart.]

"Hehehehe...Ms. Black Tower, the guys outside... seem to be saying something interesting?"

The third mirror swayed from side to side, laughing as it floated toward the black tower, "Would you like to come and listen too? Hehehe..."

Black Tower was getting impatient. "Third Mirror, could you please tone down that cringe-worthy laughter?"

"You just mentioned the guy outside? Could it be...?"

"Hehehe... Madam, why don't you listen for yourself?" The third mirror stopped laughing.

Hmm, it seems so.

After listening, Black Tower snorted softly, his face grim. "...Something's not right. Someone must have broken into the lab!"

Should we wake her, Mr. Walter?

Okay, let's do it that way. It might be a bit rude, but we're really in a hurry.

Black Tower's expression changed. They were going to wake him up! The audience system I had painstakingly activated was just a hair's breadth away from reaching the machine head. If I was woken up, all my efforts and resources would be for nothing.

"...Wait! Wait, wait, wait..."

"No, no, absolutely not! Whoever you are, don't interrupt me at this time!"

Black Tower's gaze was fixed ahead. "I have to keep going... just a few more steps, and I'll see the machine head!"

[Xing: Uh… Uncle Yang, it seems like the person you were talking about earlier was you.]

[Tesla: Pfft, Walter, are you kidding me?]

*Walter: Future me, please don't ever tell anyone that you're the Herrscher of Reason. I'm afraid I'll lose face.*

*Bronya: Bronya knows that Professor Welt is eager to protect Miss March 7th, which is why he used brute force to decipher the code. She hasn't realized that the door isn't actually locked.

[Robin: Does spending too much time on the Star Train make everyone a fool? That's not the kind of intelligence my brother should have, and I would never laugh at him... haha... never... haha...]

【Sunday:……】

Walter (blushing slightly): Ahem, I'm getting old, my thinking ability has diminished a bit. (This is so embarrassing, and they on Earth saw it all! Don't I have any dignity?)

[Fou: Mr. Walter, in my eyes you were someone comparable to Navelette, and now you've come to this.]

[Himeko: In the video, it seems that Little March was frozen, and we had no other choice but to ask Lady Black Tower for help.]

[Gui Naifen: Oh, Miss March. It seems Mr. Walter is also eager to save March.]

[Black Tower: Doesn't anyone care about my feelings? Do you know how many resources it takes to activate the audience system? How difficult it is to have an audience with the Venerable Master? As a Wisdom Token Envoy, I've barely even met him a few times. Who will answer my questions...?]

[Black Tower: Fine, I really owe you guys.]
