The waves of pain that seemed to drill out from the inside of his brain and pierce his skull tortured He Qianjian to the point of tears. At first he could still grit his teeth and barely maintain his sanity, but later on, when the pain that ordinary people could not bear overwhelmed him, he completely lost his dignity and clarity and could only struggle and scratch.
In just half an hour, He Qianjian's elbows, arms and other places that had rubbed against the ground multiple times were already covered in blood, his nails were all broken, revealing bloody flesh and bones, his clothes were all wet, and even the ground he was touching had faint condensation of water vapor, and the water stains mixed with blood left traces on the silver-grey ground as he struggled.
The two people who came in with permission paused, and one of them was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him and shouted "Fuck!"
The researcher paused for several seconds before coming to his senses from He Qianjian's painful groans: "Boss, if I didn't trust your character, I would have suspected that you were using private punishment to take revenge."
Jiang Chen's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, his expression indifferent: "You can think so."
The researcher was stunned. Shi Fengyue walked straight towards Jiang Chen: "The plan was successful."
Jiang Chen's face, which had been calm all this time, finally showed a hint of a smile: "Stopped it?"
"Yeah." Shi Fengyue walked to Jiang Chen's side, "How are you doing?"
"Just clean up."
"The higher-ups told me to tell you that it's best to restore the hijacked signal as soon as possible. Elder Xiang told me to remind you that with your ability, you can definitely finish it within an hour."
Jiang Chen paused for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa Xiang is really..."
Shi Fengyue also raised his lips and glanced at He Qianjian nonchalantly, his expression as calm as if there was nothing there, and retracted his gaze: "Wait another half an hour?"
Jiang Chen looked at He Qianjian and pursed his lips: "Forget it, in half an hour, he will be crazy if he doesn't die."
He Qianjian just felt the pain pass. Hearing this, his eyes turned red and every word he said was filled with hatred: "You don't intend to help me get the system out of my mind. You have been lying to me from the beginning."
Jiang Chen said calmly, "It's just a trick."
"I want to know how you knew that." He Qianjian gritted his teeth and said, "The system said that it had rebuilt the communication program. Even the machines couldn't detect my conversation with it. How did you know that?"
Jiang Chen: “I don’t know.”
"You lied to me!"
Jiang Chen stood up, supported the table with one hand, leaned forward, and faced He Qianjian: "The DTW system is best at neither defense nor attack, but collection. It is good at collecting and analyzing all the information it can get, from the materials on the earth to humans. Everything it sees is its data. This powerful database often allows it to calculate the most accurate results."
He Qianjian opened his mouth. Jiang Chen was right. That was why he trusted the system so much. From the time he was selected by the system until now, it should be said that the system had never made a mistake. Including when the system reminded him not to provoke Jiang Chen, he had recalled countless times in prison, if he had listened to the system at that time, would his current situation be different, would it be better than it is now.
Jiang Chen: "When the algorithms are equally matched, which one do you think is more accurate, the system calculating humans or the system calculating the system?"
He Qianjian: "So you know everything."
"From the very beginning, I misjudged you." He Qianjian coughed twice, and it seemed that blood could be squeezed out of his throat. "I thought I had grasped your fatal weakness and laughed at your so-called kindness and bottom line, but I didn't know... cough -" He suddenly pinched his neck and beat his head. The bulging blue veins and congested face were somewhat scary.
The researcher was startled and at a loss: "Boss, should we call a doctor in?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, his eyes filled with mixed emotions: "It's the DTW system, even a doctor can't help."
Sure enough, He Qianjian soon let go of himself, his face covered with tears, snot and blood.
He wiped it off and questioned Jiang Chen while he was still awake: "You have no intention of helping me build the system!"
Jiang Chen: "Until now, no matter how powerful the network or artificial intelligence is, it needs electricity to operate, but DTW does not. Have you ever thought about how it maintains its operation?"
"There is no such thing as a free lunch, and the same is true for the DTW system. Every transaction and communication you make requires energy to maintain. Over the past 20 years, DTW has already taken root in your nerves. I was not sure before, but now I am sure that the energy that supports its operation is exchanged with your vitality."
"Life force..." He Qianjian was in a trance for a moment. When he came back to his senses, his eyes were no longer clear, and his expression was a little more crazy: "My vitality? I don't believe it! How could there be something in the world that extracts people's vitality as energy! I don't believe it! You lied to me!"
The researcher took a half step back and saw He Qianjian's miserable condition. He couldn't help but feel some pity. Jiang Chen looked away, but Shi Fengyue remained calm.
“You lied to me!” He Qianjian struggled to get up with strength that he didn’t know where he got from. He moved towards Jiang Chen step by step: “You lied to me, didn’t you… You, are, lying… to me!”
Jiang Chen stood still, looking down at He Qianjian at his feet.
"Tell me, you are lying to me." He Qianjian raised his head. The pain just now made him bite his mouth and the inside of his mouth was also bitten. His teeth were covered with bright red. He grabbed Jiang Chen's trouser legs and said, "Tell me! I can live for a long time! If you hadn't appeared! I would definitely live a hundred years!"
Jiang Chen slowly clenched his hands at his side into fists. Just as he was about to speak, Changjiang's voice came from the computer behind him:
"Dylan, there are intruders. There are three of them, two men and one woman. They came up from the building's security passage, the west staircase, and the east staircase. They have passes and weapons on them, and their disguises are high-level."
Jiang Chen paused and looked at Shi Fengyue.
“Here I come.”
