If someone invites you to dinner, it's probably for your own good, but if you can't refuse, we usually call that a "Hongmen Banquet." -- The Sayings of His Majesty the Emperor Qinghe, Volume 13, Chapter 1, Section 1.

Shi Zhener's note: His Majesty the Emperor did not explain what the Hongmen Banquet was, but it doesn't sound like a good place.

LKN93 simply had abnormality written all over his face. Although he didn't make any expression at the moment, anyone with normal intelligence could sense something was amiss, except for LKN93.

He was still trying hard to invite Lin Hai to come into the control room and take a look.

“How has the control room been maintained over the years?”

Lin Hai chatted idly, trying to get more information from LKN93 without making any noise.

"Inspector, since we haven't received any supplies for so long, the maintenance of the entire sector management center is in a very poor state. Activation rates in many areas have dropped to around 70%, and utilization rates have plummeted to 50%. However, maintenance of the central control room is of paramount importance to sector management. We have done our best to ensure its continued use. Currently, the activation and utilization rates of equipment in the central control room have reached 90%, making it fully capable of managing and controlling the entire sector."

Even Lin Hai didn't expect that LKN93 would give so many answers to his casual questions. He didn't know whether these numbers were true or not, but they sounded quite detailed.

Lin Hai didn't quite believe the numbers given by LKN93. After all, he had made reports himself and knew how to dilute seemingly detailed numbers, and also how to "optimize" data to make it both real and unreliable.

"By the way, since retrieving a large number of logs is difficult, why don't you just retrieve a few days and tell me about them?"

Thinking of this, Lin Hai suddenly felt something and spoke quickly.

"Please give your instructions."

"Well, let's just retrieve nine days' worth of logs. That amount of data shouldn't require a trip to the central control room. So, how about you first retrieve the logs from the sector management center for that day over the past nine millennia, especially the ones about my personal whereabouts, and tell me about them? We can talk while we walk, so the journey won't be boring, right?"

As Lin Hai spoke, he looked at the tall tower a few hundred meters away and thought to himself: Please speak slowly, I will never be able to walk down the tower until you finish speaking.

LKN93 obviously didn't expect that Lin Hai's request would be this.

When normal people check their logs, they usually check the time periods when they were not there. Why would they check the day when they were there?

Could it be that you don’t even know what you have done?

Hey, what a coincidence! Lin Hai really didn’t know what he had done.

Besides, it’s just nine days of logs. It’s a bit too much to say that it can’t be retrieved.

Lin Hai stood there and looked at LKN93 with a smile, as if to say, "If you don't give me the log, I won't move forward."

But whether it was because this part was not in the program or because it was originally simple, LKN93 did not do what he thought. His mind even turned a few circles before stopping. Then, a familiar synthesized voice sounded:

Retrieving logs...

Log retrieved successfully...

On March 1, 7234th year of the Sector Calendar, Inspector Lin Hai arrived at the Sector Management Center, requesting the sector prepare a crisis response plan and retrying to contact the Imperial Management Center. The attempt failed. Inspector Lin Hai entered the control room...

On May 4th, 8345th year of the Sector Calendar, Inspector Lin Hai...

"etc!"

Lin Hai interrupted, "In the first log, what did I do after entering the control room?"

LKN93's mind raced before he replied, "The logbook cannot be retrieved. If you need to access the patrol officer's records, please use patrol officer authority to check in the central control room."

"Oh, go ahead."

On May 4, 8345th year of the Sector Calendar, Inspector Lin Hai arrived at the sector to review crisis response records, check remaining resource reserves, develop a low-power operation plan, and request another attempt to contact the Imperial Management Center. The attempt failed. Inspector Lin Hai entered the control room...

"Hmm? What about the part behind the control room?"

Lin Hai's face darkened. This didn't look like the Hongmen Banquet. After all, the Hongmen Banquet was a real banquet with food and drink. This control room looked like a gateway to hell.

LKN93's head spun again, but this time it spun three times before replying, "The logbook cannot be retrieved. If you need to access the patrol officer's records, please use patrol officer authority to check in the central control room."

"continue!"

On July 8, 9456th year of the Sector Calendar, Inspector Lin Hai arrived at the sector to review crisis records. He requested that some defense facilities enter a low-power mode and that he attempt to contact the Imperial Management Center again. The connection failed. He requested manual repairs to the central control processing system and access to the control room...

"Come on, let me try again. How about entering the back part of the control room?"

LKN93's head continued to spin, but this time it spun ten times before he replied, "The logbook cannot be retrieved. If you need to access the patrol officer's records, please use patrol officer authority to check in the central control room."

Lin Hai believed that as long as he kept asking, this LKN93 would either successfully twist his head off, or use his head as a propeller and take off directly...

"continue!"

In the tenth millennium of the sector's history, no record of Inspector Lin Hai's visit was found.

In the eleventh millennium of the sector calendar, no record of Inspector Lin Hai's visit was found.

In the sector's year, Inspector Lin Hai arrived. He was experiencing abnormal conditions, unable to issue certain commands or read certain information. He requested that the functional area of ​​the sector management center enter a low-power mode and attempt to contact the Imperial Management Center again. The attempt failed. The administrator recommended that the inspector undergo a health check at the Central Control Room, and the inspector entered...
