Tu Ran glanced at the pink liquid in the goblet, picked it up and took a sip. It was indeed to her taste, but now was not the time to taste the drink.

"The manor where Xie Xie'ao lives is controlled by an artificial intelligence named 'Jie'. I will be noticed once I get close to the manor. Xie Zhao was killed by me. Xie Xie'ao must be very wary of me now. There are many superpowers around him. Once 'Jie' notices me, the superpowers will collectively counterattack. They know my superpowers very well. In addition, 'Jie's' eyes are everywhere. They are in the dark and I am in the light. I am not sure I can get any benefits from them."

Xi Chunzhi rested his elbows on the edge of the sofa, his chin supported by his fingers, thinking, "So it's better to destroy the host of 'Jie' first and cut off their eyes, which will help us defeat them one by one."

Tu Ran nodded.

"But 'Jie's' host was destroyed. Will it be replaced by Zero? If in the end we just replace it with another artificial intelligence to take charge of the security in the manor, there is no need for us to waste energy on a host." Xi Chunzhi quickly grasped the core.

Now she doesn’t know that Ling has self-awareness and has always been on the same front as Tu Ran.

She considered Zero to be an enemy.

"Yes, Jie's system is overlaid on Zero. If it is destroyed, all the authority in the manor will be replaced by Zero," Tu Ran looked at Xi Chunzhi, pursed her lips, and before Xi Chunzhi spoke, she said, "Zero... will help us."

Xi Chun was stunned, not quite understanding what Tu Ran meant by this, "It helps... us?"

"Well, it has been modified and now obeys Xie Xu."

Xi Chunzhi sat up straight, his eyes almost popping out, "You mean the super AI named Zero serving the entire federation is actually Xie Xu's personal AI?"

Isn't this equivalent to the entire federation being under Xie Xu's surveillance? He can know whatever he wants to know. Not only that, with his power spread across the 42 states of the federation, Xie Xu can do anything quietly.

Tu Ran nodded silently.

Xi Chunzhi fell back on the sofa, staring blankly ahead. She was still in the stage of acceptance.

Tu Ran didn't disturb her and drank the drink in the cup quietly.

Only after Xi Chunzhi had completely calmed down did they continue to discuss what to do next.

The problem is how to find the host of "Jie" without alerting the enemy.

When Xi Chunzhi learned that Tu Ran had a map of the entire manor, he vowed that she would take care of the matter.

She called her men over on the radio.

A man and a woman pushed open the door and walked in.

Tu Ran, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately noticed the green light curtain above their heads.

【nothingness】

Introduction: The owner can make entities virtual, appearing in a state of nothingness, unobservable to the naked eye, undetectable by machines, and as invulnerable as air. The user can also make part of the virtual body materialize, defeating the enemy silently and explosively.

Level: Intermediate

Note: Be careful with creatures that have a keen sense of smell.

There was only a curtain of light above the man's head, and he had only one special power.

The girl has two on her head.

[Escape]

Introduction: The owner can travel underground like a dragon, free and without restrictions.

Level: Advanced

Note: Always be alert to the surplus of mental energy and do not let the land become your final grave.

【perspective】

Introduction: It is well known and will not be introduced here.

Level: Beginner

Note: You can only pass through one obstacle

Tu Ran paused on the word [Perspective] for two more seconds, and understood the purpose of Xi Chunzhi calling them here. The man's "nothingness" was self-evident, and he could enter the manor directly without attracting attention. He was responsible for searching the above-ground part of the manor.

The woman coordinated her "perspective" and "underground escape" abilities to sneak underground. When there was only one layer of obstacles left in the underground space of the manor, she used her perspective to see what was happening inside.

Xi Chunzhi arranged for the two to split into two groups and search for the location of the host according to the instructions on the map.

All Tu Ran has to do is wait quietly.

The news came back quickly.

Only an hour later, the woman named "Huo" called and sent Xi Chunzhi a drawing with a circle on it.

Huo was very lucky. She dived into the deepest part of the underground, the seventh floor of the manor, walked around outside the room, used "perspective", and through the wall, she saw a huge and complicated machine inside.

She described the appearance of the machine, and Ling's voice appeared in Tu Ran's ears: [It's Jie's host.] The host was found.

Destroying it is the next step.

Tu Ran and Xi Chunzhi stood up one after another and followed the fire away.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

The sky was gloomy and the air was humid.

It's another rainy day that's about to rain.

The three of them arrived in the woods surrounding the estate.

Huo held Tu Ran's hand, and with his other hand he made a complicated gesture in the air. White light enveloped them. The next second, the two of them disappeared from the spot, leaving a hole the size of a fist where they had stood.

Being able to allow two big men to crawl through such a small hole can no longer be described as supernatural, it is simply fantasy.

Xi Chunzhi stretched out his legs and pushed the soil on both sides of the pit to the center, filling the pit.

Tu Ran, who was experiencing being a ground mole for the first time, closed her eyes tightly. Dirt kept flying on her face. She wanted to see what the underground world looked like, but she couldn't open her eyes.

She wanted to take out a helmet from the space and put it on, but when she stretched out her hand, all she could touch were uneven walls. The passage was very narrow, and it was already difficult for the fire to bring her down, so there was no space for her to put on another helmet.

She could only close her eyes and hold Huo's hand tightly, fearing that if she let go without paying attention, she would fall into the ground and be buried alive without even having to dig a pit.

Tu Ran estimated that after running all the way behind Huo for fifteen minutes, Huo suddenly braked. Due to inertia, she took a step forward and hit a wall.

Fire pulled her back and released her hand.

Tu Ran then opened her eyes and looked at the situation in front of her.

An artificial wall.

The air underground was thin and breathing was difficult. Huo did not speak, but just gently touched the wall with his fingers and signaled Tu Ran with his eyes.

arrive.

This is Xie Xieao’s office.

Tu Ran nodded.

According to the map provided by Ling, Xie Xieao's office is located on the third underground floor of Xie's residence.

I don't understand why he wouldn't stay on the surface but had to go underground. He is so cautious, it's unparalleled.

Tu Ran leaned against the wall, keeping some distance from the fire so that she could breathe more freely. She raised her finger and pointed at her eyes.

Is Xie Xieao in there now? Huo stared at the wall for a moment and shook his head.

Not here.

Tu Ran frowned. According to the schedule given to her by Xie Xieao, he would come to the study at 7:30 in the morning.
