Chapter 852: Chapter 852: Ask the Immortal of the Yellow Springs (2)
The water on the floor wasn’t much, just enough to trigger the alarm.
The entrance door hadn’t been tampered with either.
It didn’t seem to be man-made.
“This water…” Hu Shuo pointed at the water, wondering where it ca from.
If it wasn’t man-made, then it could only have been…
Chuzheng surveyed the server room, “The spiritual value here is dense. That thing must have brought the water in, but since it could only bring in a limited amount, this is the extent of the consequence it could cause.”
The unknown creature had no physical form, but water did.
Unless endowed with so special ability, carrying physical water in out of thin air into this place would require so effort.
Perhaps the water was accumulated little by little over ti.
Chuzheng felt sowhat sorry for the hidden mastermind.
Going to great lengths to gather enough water to trigger the alarm…
Hu Shuo felt a chill down his spine as all his hair stood on end. That kind of thing was here.
Hu Shuo looked around, “Then… Is that thing still here?”
“It’s not.”
Hu Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
That scared him to death.
“Is this place important?”
Hu Shuo hesitated, “This place… it connects to the boss’s ga pod, and is also the main server for Fanxing Ga.”
For their boss’s security, the entire Fanxing Ga was still running.
Hu Shuo didn’t even dare to ponder the consequences if anything went wrong here.
–
Hu Shuo secured the server room, adding several layers of passwords, and returned upstairs with Chuzheng.
As expected, nothing happened above.
Well, not quite.
There was a slight incident.
The robot had turned on very rhythmic music on its own.
It was swinging left and right on the lid of the ga pod, dancing the devilish robot dance.
Its short arms and legs had a certain stupid yet endearing quality.
Hu Shuo looked at Chuzheng, remarking on how her robots had quite the personality?
Chuzheng: “…”
Chuzheng tapped in the air, and the holographic screen vanished along with the music.
“Ahem… Miss Chuzheng, regarding the incident just now, do you have any thoughts?” Hu Shuo had already encountered enough bizarre events here; his mind was a tangled ss, unable to untangle the situation.
Chuzheng pressed down the robot, which seed eager to bounce, serious and earnest, “First, you need to clear up one question.”
“What is it?”
Chuzheng looked at Hu Shuo, who imdiately stood up straight, ready to be utterly serious.
“When do we eat.”
“…”
It was morning when Chuzheng had arrived; now it was already noon, ti for lunch.
Hu Shuo asked the ho robots to prepare lunch.
The robots prepared every al strictly according to recipes, with trendous precision in every gram, leaving no doubts about the taste.
After eating her fill, Chuzheng leaned back in her chair to rest.
Hu Shuo barely touched his food, poking at the contents of his plate until Chuzheng put down her bowl, and he promptly followed suit.
“First, you need to clear up one question.” Chuzheng repeated her earlier words.
“…”
Hu Shuo didn’t dare to speak casually.
Fearing it would be like earlier.
He could only watch Chuzheng.
Chuzheng tossed her napkin onto the table, “What is the other party’s motive.”
Hu Shuo responded, “I thought it was targeting our boss before, but with what happened today… I’m not so sure.”
Destroying the server room’s servers would certainly put their boss in greater danger.
But…
Why target two non-essential servers?
Could it be that the creature didn’t know which servers were important?
“Miss Chuzheng…”
Chuzheng raised her hand to stop Hu Shuo from speaking, “This is not within my responsibilities. If it appears, I’ll help you solve it. As for the rest, you handle it on your own.”
“…”
Hu Shuo thought back to what Chuzheng had said earlier…
First ‘you’ need to clear up one question.
She hadn’t included herself in the matter at all.
Of course, she had made it clear from the beginning, anything outside her responsibilities was none of her concern.
Hu Shuo couldn’t press Chuzheng for further discussion.
Chuzheng leisurely strolled back to the room with the gaming pod.
The robot was still wriggling on the left side of the gaming pod, then the right side.
“Master, am I dancing well?”
“Senior’s fitness dance?”
“…” The robot huffed, “I am dancing the waltz.”
“Did the waltz offend you?”
“No,”
“Then why are you insulting the waltz?”
The robot put its hands on its hips, puffing angrily, “Master, you will lose my respect if you continue like this!”
“Oh.”
Chuzheng no longer paid attention to it and focused on the gaming pod.
The robot, seeking to be noticed, clattered to a spot within Chuzheng’s field of vision.
“Master, what are you doing?”
“Thinking.”
“Thinking about what?”
“How to dismantle you.”
“…”
The robot was indeed afraid of Chuzheng.
It sulkily went to the side to squat and draw circles.
Chuzheng was pondering whether Bastard had any connection to the ga Fanxing.
If there was a connection, then in that ga, there is only one player now… that is, the man before her, the president of Fanxing Company, Mr. Xing Jue.
Was he the one behind the Good Person Card?
Bastard definitely knew.
But that thing was tight-lipped and unwilling to speak.
There must be a conspiracy.
As for what kind of conspiracy, Chuzheng hadn’t figured it out yet.
There were too few clues about this matter.
“Master, it’s ti to clock out.”
The robot reminded Chuzheng.
Chuzheng checked the ti.
The ti had passed by without her noticing…
Chuzheng took the robot and left.
She reached the door and glanced back at the gaming pod.
Then she returned, fiddled with sothing under the gaming pod, and then strode away.
Hu Shuo had just co back from outside as Chuzheng was walking to the door, and he happened to co in.
“Miss Chuzheng, are you leaving?”
“Off work.”
“…”
It really felt so strange.
The first ti seeing a bodyguard with an eight-hour work shift.
But he still didn’t dare say anything.
“Miss Chuzheng, take care.”
After Chuzheng had gone so distance, Hu Shuo suddenly chased after her and called out to her.
“Miss Chuzheng, about that thing…” Hu Shuo asked cautiously, “Can soone manipulate it?”
“They can.” Chuzheng said.
Hu Shuo felt a chill in his limbs.
He watched Chuzheng leave, then cancelled his subsequent schedule and went to Jingnan University of Science and Technology to find Su Tiyue.
“Mr. Hu?” Su Tiyue looked surprised, “Is there a problem?”
“Can we find a place to talk?”
Su Tiyue glanced around at the people, nodded, and led him to her office.
“What happened?”
“Miss Chuzheng ca over today, and sothing happened.”
Hu Shuo recounted the incident in the machine room to Su Tiyue.
“I think that thing was being instructed by soone.” Hu Shuo also shared his speculation, “Although Mr. Hu ca close to danger a few tis, he always managed to evade harm in the end. According to what you and Miss Chuzheng said, Professor Su, if that thing truly intended to kill Mr. Hu, it should have been easy. So, why does it do these aningless things?”
“Instructed by soone…” Su Tiyue’s gaze behind her gold-rimd glasses grew serious, “I’ve never heard of such a thing happening.”
Nothing Su Tiyue had encountered before had ever suggested that unknown creatures could be directed by people.
“I asked Miss Chuzheng, and she said… it’s possible.”
“Did she really say that?”
Hu Shuo nodded gravely.
Professor Su pondered for a mont, “If that’s true, then the person behind the scenes has a different agenda.”
