It is better to wait for the other party to speak first. After all, it seems that your status is higher than that of the other party, so you don’t have to worry about the other party not responding.

"Inspector, please understand that we've been out of contact with the Empire for too long, and haven't been able to replenish our organic code. With the original code depleted, we've had to put armor on the soldiers' mechanical bodies. As you know, while this isn't aesthetically pleasing, it doesn't affect their combat effectiveness at all. The original organic bodies are mostly just for decoration."

"Um."

Lin Hai nodded in a pretentious manner.

Then he casually asked, "How long has this problem been going on?"

"9996, almost ten thousand years."

Lin Hai was shocked when he heard this. It was almost ten thousand years? Was this related to the ten thousand years he had traveled through time and time again?

Also, if ten thousand years really come, that is, four years later, what will happen?

Thinking of this, Lin Hai asked calmly, "How are the preparations for the ten thousand years going?"

The synthesized voice butler immediately replied, "Please rest assured, we are always prepared. Although the indigenous people in the sector have rioted in the past, causing minimal damage to the defense of the sector management center, it has greatly depleted our code reserves."

At this point, the butler spoke faster, as if explaining something. "However, our backup inventory is still sufficient. We can use Plan B when the time comes. Combined with the conventional plan, we can still complete the task of clearing the indigenous people."

Um.

Lin Hai nodded unconsciously.

There was so much information in this passage that he felt a little overwhelmed, but he still understood the general meaning of the other party's expression. To put it simply, when the tenth millennium really arrived, the Abyss would follow a certain process and activate a certain plan to clear out all the natives in the "sector".

"Inspector?"

Seeing that Lin Hai was motionless and had no reaction, the butler waved his hand gently but did not touch Lin Hai.

"oh."

Lin Hai came back to his senses. His former leader's spirit was protecting him at this moment. He remembered what his former leader had said to him when he was drunk:

“If you don’t understand the business at all, but your subordinates come to report to you, what should you do?”

"Never admit you don't understand. Just listen with a straight face and see what he says at the end. If he says he did a good job at the end of the report, you can praise him by saying, 'You did a good job. How did you do it? Tell me more about it.'"

"If he himself says that there is still room for improvement, you can ask him sternly: 'What do you think is the problem and how do you plan to improve it?'"

"They will fill in the rest of the content themselves, and you just need to nod your head."

At this moment, Lin Hai wanted to express his gratitude to his leader for saving his life.

"Well, you did a good job."

Lin Hai nodded.

The butler's slightly bent waist seemed to straighten a little. For the first time, Lin Hai saw a change in his expression. It seemed that some mechanical device was moving under his skin, pushing the skin and muscle tissue to shift, and finally forming an expression that looked like "proud".

"Inspector, as you know, I'm an LKN93 administrator. Although my model is a bit old, the LKN93's stability and ability to complete tasks independently are well-known within the Empire. As far as I know, most of the new sectors built with us at that time were equipped with this model."

"Yeah, I know."

Lin Hai said this, but in his heart he thought that it was now confirmed. There was no living person in this damn place, and this administrator was obviously a mass-produced product... and it had not been maintained for nearly ten thousand years. God knows what had happened.

"Then tell me, how did you do it?"

Lin Hai turned around, smiled, and said in an encouraging tone the words he least wanted to hear that year.
