After organizing the information that Yin Zhu has obtained from Mary's house so far, a very obvious contradiction will appear.
Mary's mother wanted to leave Viña with her children, but Mary's father thought she was overthinking it and still wanted to move to the inner city with Mary's mother for a better life.
As for Mary herself, whether her parents ultimately choose to leave or move into the inner city, she has no choice but to listen to their decision.
This resulted in Mary's family keeping Yin Zhu at home to tutor little Mary.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that what Mary's family said and did were different, and that hiring a tutor was just a smokescreen, with their real purpose being to find an opportunity to leave Vena City.
As an outsider, the serious answer Yin Zhu received might not be what Mary's parents were thinking.
It would seem perfectly reasonable to withdraw a child from school under the pretext of "tutoring" before moving.
As for money, it's just an external thing. After all, Vena coins are the exclusive currency of Vena City. Once you leave Vena City, you'll probably have to use real gold and silver or even supplies to make transactions.
However, this involves the issue of pollution control outside the city, and Yin Zhu has no information on that at the moment.
Another possibility to explain this contradiction is that Mary's parents had prepared for both scenarios and were observing the current situation: if the environment in the outer city continued to deteriorate, indicating that the inner city was in crisis, then they would choose to leave; if the problems in the inner city were brought under control, then they would move in as planned.
Besides this most prominent contradiction, there is another hidden question, which is also the problem that Yin Zhu encountered that day:
What exactly are the manifestations of cybernetics?
Yin Zhu has never liked internal strife, so she naturally brought up the matter to Mary's mother: "Speaking of which, a neighbor from the fourth floor came to our door today to ask if we had encountered any strange people."
Mary's mother naturally had her own reasons for setting the rule that Yin Zhu "should not open the door for anyone".
Hearing Yin Zhu bring up this matter, she casually tucked her loose golden hair behind her ear: "So you didn't open the door, right? It's not safe outside right now. Even if they are acquaintances, you'd better not open the door for them, lest you encounter someone with ulterior motives."
"Doesn't the new regulations in Vina City state that illegal acts such as fare evasion, robbery, theft, rape, arson, and murder are prohibited? They wouldn't be foolish enough to try to break through by force, would they?"
This seemingly casual answer was actually a probing question from Yin Zhu.
As expected, Mary's mother was somewhat dissatisfied with Yin Zhu's lack of respect for the rules. She turned down the TV volume and looked at Yin Zhu seriously with her amber eyes, saying, "You young people just don't take the rules seriously. You always think that other people's experiences are meant to harm you. Normal people are afraid of rules, but people infected with Cybervirus don't care about those. In short, if you obediently follow what I wrote in the rules, nothing will happen."
“But Vena City…” Yin Zhu hesitated.
“If the rules of Vina City were truly effective, there would be no rebel organizations.” Mary’s mother sneered, causing Mary’s father beside her to look apprehensive.
Mary's father glanced around instinctively and realized that he was at home, which was relatively safe. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Darling, you need to change this personality of yours, otherwise you might say something that could cause trouble once you enter the city of Vena."
Yin Zhu couldn't help but glance at the man.
What catches the eye is his appearance: a square face exuding righteousness, a tall stature, short brown hair neatly lying on his scalp, green eyes that are not aggressive, and a white shirt and trousers that make him appear polite.
Mary's father was a very honest and mild-mannered man who would often defer to Mary's mother.
To describe the relationship between Mary's parents with an analogy, it's almost a real-life version of a joke: the man decides on important matters, and the woman decides on minor matters, but there are no important matters in the world; everything is trivial in front of Mary's mother.
His gaze toward Mary's mother was filled with trust and concern, and even though he thought what she said was too "dangerous," he showed no resentment or blame.
The two currently hold completely opposite views on moving away from Vigna, but one day, if Mary's mother becomes a little more assertive, he will surely comply with her choice.
Mary's mother and he complemented each other well, their personalities like a drawn sword—Yin Zhu suspected this was also related to her work.
Although this lady had changed out of the supervisory bureau uniform, you could still see the taut muscles in her arms. This was something that Yin Zhu could not achieve in half a month of intensive training. If a real conflict were to arise, she could probably take on five Yin Zhus.
The reason it wasn't ten was because if Yin Zhuzhen were divided into ten groups, while five of them were being beaten, the other five would definitely run away, feeling incredibly grateful for the heroic sacrifice of the others.
Judging from their interactions alone, Mary's parents, one strong and one weak, complement each other quite well, which could be considered a kind of good match. Even without children of their own, the couple adopted little Mary and loved her as their own daughter, showing a very good relationship.
Of course, Yin Zhu had no interest in their relationship, after all, she was just a single woman.
Analyzing the relationship between the two was merely Yin Zhu's way of making it easier for her to judge the specific choices of the indigenous people, and to facilitate subsequent arrangements and decisions.
It's worth mentioning that Mary's mother is somewhat proud and confident, and she disdains to explain things to Yin Zhu. This is also why she believes that she can live well even if she leaves Vena City with her husband and daughter.
That's why she didn't care what Yin Zhu knew; she only cared whether Yin Zhu could take good care of Mary.
On the surface, Yin Zhu is a tutor hired by Mary's father, but in reality, Yin Zhu's role in Mary's family is more like Mary's bodyguard and nanny.
The chosen ones enter the dungeon with a mission, so most of what they encounter in the dungeon should be helpful to the main quest. If it's something completely unrelated, it would be a waste of the world's computing power.
The currently mentioned cybernetics is suspected to cause people to lose their rationality, but on the surface, it may only have one characteristic: stiff limbs. Judging from the attitudes of both Mary's mother and C-01-3656, it can be seen that this virus is not as easy to control as it is said to be, and it may have already spread.
That's why Mary's mother was reluctant to let Mary leave home, as it would increase the chances of infection. Just then, Yin Zhu came to their door, so it was only natural to ask her to take care of Mary and ensure that her daughter would be safe and sound until the couple made a final decision.
There might be smokescreens among these clues, but if many unimportant clues are smokescreens, then there must be a real bomb ready to explode hidden behind them.
Only when the chosen one is completely fooled by one smoke bomb after another and lets their guard down will they be even more shocked and regretful when the bomb explodes; and when the chosen one is blown up, it will bring even greater fear and shock to the live broadcast room.
