Chapter 286 Siraj: You can't take a joke, can you?
However, as time passed, the cursing and crying continued, and the cave remained in chaos.
But gradually, the scholars also began to realize that something was wrong. They... seemed to be fine.
Siraj's smile gradually froze on his face. He tried to operate the control panel several times in a row, but "Hive" remained silent and unresponsive.
How could that be? The device that gentleman provided is malfunctioning? No, impossible! Everything was working perfectly just now!
He frantically frantically adjusted the "Hive" control panel, but the entire system seemed to have its power supply cut off invisibly, and it no longer gave any effective response.
Panic grew, and Siraj lost his composure, frantically pounding on the control panel and roaring in anger.
"Activation command! I, in my controlling consciousness, command you! Destroy all redundant consciousness immediately, now!"
However, in his frenzy, Siraj failed to notice that the sounds around him seemed to be fading away, and even the clash of weapons from the disciplinary officers not far away had disappeared.
When he came to his senses, everyone's movements seemed to have been paused, frozen in place.
What...what's going on?! What happened?!
“I regret to inform you, Siraj, that your experiment has violated the six root sins of the Council of Fathers. The consciousness link of the ‘Hive’ has been severed, and it can no longer obey your commands.”
A gentle voice suddenly rang out, and Siraj raised his head blankly, looking at the two figures that had suddenly appeared in front of him.
Wait... who are they... suddenly... appearing?
The next instant, the space collapsed as if glass had shattered.
Siraj slumped to the ground, his unfocused gaze fixed on the Leaf-Embroidered Light that had somehow ended up around his neck and the perfectly intact control panel not far away, his face filled with confusion.
In that instant, the scholar asked himself three soul-searching questions: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
He had victory firmly in his grasp, and then... then... then... then what happened?
Siraj raised his head blankly, looking at the unfamiliar boy and white-haired girl who had suddenly appeared before him, his expression vacant.
White hair, petite figure, pale green side ponytail, and signature four-leaf clover eyes... Is that... the Little Lucky Grass King?
That means everything that just happened... was...
"Yes, Mr. Siraj, those were just some tricks to get you to confess what was behind it all."
"You can simply understand it as, you just had a dream in which you told us everything."
Nasita's gentle voice rang in his ears, and Siraj suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of resentment and disbelief.
Immediately, his face turned ashen, and he seemed to have all his strength drained away, giving a weak, self-deprecating laugh.
This is the power of the gods... Hah... How ironic... He actually alarmed the gods, he deserves to lose.
At least, he didn't lose to Elhesen. If it weren't for the intervention of the gods, "The Hive" wouldn't have failed at all! He, Siraj, should have been the final victor!
Siraj raised his head and stared at Elhesen with hostility. You can't play games, you don't have the strength!
Beside him, Mu Feng glanced speechlessly at Xilajie, who was slumped on the ground. He meant that there were originally ten lotuses in the Zen Garden, with one more picked by Tore, while Xilajie picked nine.
In the original storyline, without Dotorre's unexpected complications, this guy was easily defeated by Elhesen in a solo dungeon and couldn't even find the north.
Speaking of Dotole, Mu Feng and Nasita exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming somewhat serious.
Originally, after receiving the notification that the Void Terminal had been hacked, the script master Mu, who was familiar with the plot, took Nasita straight to the "Hive" to deal with this trouble first.
The carefully selected reference scripts feature a story with only the answer and no process, where Elio has been scolding people since childhood.
However, as is often the case with unexpected events, the legendary screenwriter once again suffered a setback without warning.
After infiltrating the hive and deciphering the entire hive system, Mu Feng discovered a serious problem.
Unlike her memories from her previous life, a self-destruct program had been artificially added to the "Hive" system.
Once the controlling consciousness chooses to activate the program, the Hive will directly destroy the consciousness of its members by injecting massive amounts of information, thereby taking over the body's cognitive abilities for system calculations.
This means that someone interfered with Siraj's research and offered him advice on erasing the participants' consciousness.
But for some unknown reason, Siraj seemed to hesitate and ultimately did not take the uninvited guest's advice.
With an extremely unrestrained moral style of conduct, coupled with the incisive wisdom to point out the flaws of the Hive system, there are very few potential targets left in the entire Sumeru.
The most suspicious of them all is undoubtedly the second seat of the Fatui executive, "Doctor" Dottore.
In the simulation, he also dealt with the other party's slices many times. Expecting the other party to keep its promise not to interfere with Sumeru is no better than fantasizing that the wild water mushroom beast will turn into a little girl tomorrow.
Therefore, in order to confirm this, it was necessary to ask the instigator to personally confess to the mysterious advisor.
However, one last unclear point is: what exactly was Dotole's purpose in participating in this farce?
Given the "Doctor's" arrogant and conceited personality, it would be impossible for him to personally intervene in such a small experiment as Sirage's.
A deathly pale-faced Siraj was taken away by the disciplinary officer. Although Elias escaped unscathed, he still needed to be investigated and tried by the disciplinary officer because of his involvement in Siraj's research.
As he walked past Elhesen and Kavi, his chapped lips twitched, but he ultimately said nothing.
Al-Hysen remained expressionless. Ultimately, this was the path he had chosen, and he should take responsibility for it.
Before the disciplinary officer could finish dealing with the scene, Al-Hysen turned around, patted Mu Feng on the shoulder, indicated that they would meet at the usual place that night, and then left "The Hive" without looking back.
The total overtime work is five hours. The overtime pay will be deducted from the architect's quarterly budget.
Kavi watched Elias's figure disappear into the distance in silence, let out a long sigh, and then turned and left as well.
I shouldn't have gotten involved in this. The troubles in the academy are really making me feel very depressed.
I have to give that guy a good beating tonight. If I don't drink him all night, he's not a real Kavi!
The two left one after the other, but on the other side, someone was still being "interrogated" by the Grand Disciplinary Officer.
"You need to prove your identity, the code."
"Can you not say it?"
"No. Then tell me, why is the Red-hearted Fruit the most honest plant in the entire desert?"
"...because it only has five petals, it can never have seven (deception)."
