"Any more questions?" Lin Nai looked a little impatient and waved her hand. "Fine, I'll ask."
Old Zhou stared into Lin Nai's eyes and asked, word by word, "Since you are the apostle of Carlos, the White Death God, what exactly did Carlos entrust to you when he communicated with your consciousness?"
Linnai paused for a moment.
Normally, once a human becomes an apostle, the deity who granted them divine power will proactively contact the apostle through soul communication and ask the human to do something for them.
For example, searching for a lost item, or fulfilling an unfulfilled wish of a deity during their lifetime.
But Linnaeus...
Linna thought to himself that he had never actually seen Carlos in his consciousness, nor had he ever heard Carlos's voice.
After a pause, Linnaeus casually made up a story: "Oh, Carlos's request to me was to help him retrieve that book, 'The Record of Destruction'."
"Didn't you say this book was just a record of his womanizing?" Old Zhou asked, narrowing his eyes. "If that's the case, then this kind of thing doesn't seem that important, does it?"
"Who said it's not important?" Lin Nai said with a dissatisfied look: "If you suddenly pass away one day, and none of your precious computer files are deleted, all your web browsing history is still there, and your chat history is dug up and studied with a magnifying glass as rare information, don't you think that would be terrible?"
Old Zhou: "......"
Attendant: "..."
After a moment of silence, Old Zhou said, "You can go now."
Lin Nai stood up: "Then thank you very much for your hospitality today, Elder Zhou."
The wooden sliding door of the reception tea room was suddenly pulled open with a "click".
With a gloomy face, Old Master Ji led his men in from outside, and the bodyguards couldn't stop them at all, or rather, dared not stop them.
"Old Zhou, what do you want to do?" Old Ji's eyes were filled with anger, but his tone was calm and indifferent, his expression clearly showing that he was suppressing his anger.
Old Zhou said calmly, "I just wanted to play a game of chess with little Lin Nai, and that brat Zheng Longhai actually went to tattle on me... Heh, why did you actually make the trip yourself? Aren't you just planning to let him go back?"
Old Ji, of course, knew the details of Old Zhou's extraordinary sequence abilities, and said angrily, "Playing chess?! Old Zhou, we know each other inside and out, do you think you're fooling a child??"
"I didn't do anything, and I didn't hurt him." Old Zhou showed no remorse. "If this kid really has nothing wrong with him, why would I be afraid to investigate him?"
"Hmph..." Old Ji snorted coldly, then looked down and glanced at the chessboard in front of the two.
He paused for a moment, a look of surprise on his face.
Old Zhou...losed?
......
After Linnaeus and Ji Lao left, Zhou Lao remained seated in front of the chessboard, deep in thought.
A middle-aged man approached Old Zhou and handed him a flat surface: "Old Zhou, this contains all the data in Lin Nai's personal system. It has all been copied down."
"Hmm." Old Zhou took the tablet and examined it carefully.
The middle-aged man said, "Judging from Linna's panel data, his data is indeed excellent, but there don't seem to be any particularly surprising attributes."
"There was nothing special in his inventory space, just some very common items, mostly essential combat items such as trap runes, soul energy guns, smoke grenades, and life recovery potions. No prohibited items were found."
"At the same time, we did not find any supernatural viruses in his system. His system's network firewall was the latest version of Dark Moon. Although it was advanced, it was still easily cracked by our supernatural hackers."
"We also checked his communication chat history, internet browsing history, download history, and online shopping history, and there were absolutely no problems."
Old Zhou remained silent, and before the middle-aged man had finished speaking, he put the tablet computer aside without any interest.
The middle-aged man said, "Old Zhou, it seems that this Lin Nai is not as complicated as we imagined. They scanned his entire system but did not find any particularly special secrets."
Old Zhou did not speak.
The middle-aged man tentatively asked, "Old Zhou, what did you discover in Linnaeus's consciousness?"
"Nothing was found," said Old Zhou.
The middle-aged man hesitated: "So... this child really doesn't have many secrets?"
Old Zhou glanced at him: "Do you think that an apostle who is only eighteen or nineteen years old, with no trump cards, no secrets, and whose data attributes are only considered excellent, can infiltrate and destroy the Black Angel Rayro's nano barrier system, and even remotely control the Xuanwu?"
"Do you think that an eighteen-year-old with no trump cards could so easily defeat Zhou Qisheng and his group of Dark Moon seniors?"
“I’ve checked all of Linna’s battle records. He has fought against enemies more than 10 levels higher than him several times in a row, and he won every single time. Do you think someone with no trump cards could do that?”
The middle-aged man said, "This... is indeed very strange, but Mr. Zhou, how can you be so sure that the system malfunction of Lei Luo and the control of the Xuanwu by an unknown hacker were both Lin Nai's doing?"
"The Xuanwu is one of the four sky carriers of Yan Kingdom, and also the most powerful war weapon of all mankind. It was built according to the blueprints left by the ancient gods and combines all the crystallization of mankind's highest technology."
Old Zhou said solemnly, "To silently infiltrate the Xuanwu's system network and gain control of it is simply impossible, even for the United States or the International Association of Extraordinary Individuals. To put it bluntly, with the current level of human technology, it is simply impossible!"
The middle-aged man's eyes darted around: "So that means, only a higher civilization beyond humanity could accomplish this?"
“There are many demon races with a higher level of civilization than humans,” Old Zhou said. “There are quite a few races that could hack into the Xuanwu, but even the demon race and the black angels would never be able to silently infiltrate the control system.”
The middle-aged man frowned: "If that's the case, why do you think that Lin Nai is the one who controls the Xuanwu?"
Old Zhou glanced at him: "Nonsense, right when Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er teleported Lei Luo to the second alien realm of Ye City through the teleportation array, the Xuanwu immediately followed up to finish him off. What else could this coordinated attack be but a pre-planned move by Lin Nai?"
“...That makes sense.” The middle-aged man paused. “But if that’s the case, why can’t we find any clues in his system at all? You didn’t find anything unusual in his mind either, did you?”
"That's precisely why it's so chilling upon closer inspection," Old Zhou said solemnly, picking up the tablet and looking at the seemingly ordinary data on it. "Linnai's data is definitely not that simple. This young man is hiding an incredibly terrifying secret, a secret that is completely beyond the reach of our human technology and capabilities..."
