I am not D-16-7525, but an outsider.
As she said those words, Yin Zhu's palms were sweating, but she didn't think her choice was wrong.
Since the other party was a formal employee of the Supervision Bureau, they must have already investigated her identity after obtaining her number. While Yin Zhu was with Mary in the living room, she frequently noticed Mary's mother's gaze out of the corner of her eye.
That gaze was cold and sharp, as if looking at a dead person, or perhaps scrutinizing something.
Since the other party had already seen through this, Yin Zhu stopped pretending. After Mary fell asleep, she went to confront her parents and directly revealed the truth that both sides had been hiding.
This move also made the Chinese think tank nervous.
"What does she want to do?" Han Jiuying stood up abruptly like a cat with its fur standing on end, then sat down again in frustration: "Yin Zhu is always so willful and reckless."
“That’s how our chosen ones are. I thought you were used to it.” Su Jinyun seemed quite open-minded about it.
“Actually, it’s a good thing to stay vigilant.” Li Yun tried to smooth things over. “Yin Zhu always realizes things that we don’t know in the dungeon, but she doesn’t say anything. She just does whatever she wants. From the audience’s perspective, it does seem a bit reckless, like she’s doing whatever comes to mind.”
"She's smart, we should just trust her."
Xia Qingkong stared intently at the people on the screen, her hand gripping the tablet tightly betraying her worry for Yin Zhu.
Even if the chosen ones are in a life-threatening situation, the think tank cannot rush in to save them. This is the moment when the think tank is most powerless when faced with the strange rules.
"Six copies already, hasn't the Academy of Sciences made any progress yet?"
An Zhi rarely spoke, so he asked the secretary standing next to him.
This person doesn't usually interfere in the think tank's discussions—in fact, he's very capable at his job, but his logic and other aspects are not particularly impressive.
When the think tank members were talking all at once, he often couldn't understand what they were saying.
"...No progress."
The secretary brought the worst answer, leaving the think tank members speechless for a moment.
Are you criticizing the Academy of Sciences for not working hard enough?
Impossible; they want to find a solution more than anyone else.
Those were a group of research fanatics. Knowing there was a problem but being unable to find any answers must have been a huge blow to them.
The whole world is waiting for the academies of sciences from various countries to submit their answers in order to resolve the Damocles' sword hanging over everyone's heads.
It's not just the Dragon Kingdom.
There has been no progress in other countries either.
At least not so far.
Anzhi did not obtain any further research on the strange or bizarre rules from think tanks in other countries, as if it were an attack from some higher-dimensional beings.
Lower-dimensional beings can only helplessly wait to die.
Just like every world in the instance, everyone is dying slowly; it's just a matter of dying sooner or later.
It's all about who can take a few more breaths of air, who can live a little longer, who can see tomorrow's sun, and who can laugh until the last second of their life.
But all of this was like the dying struggle of a tiny ant to the unspeakable, which was completely devoured by the mastermind hiding behind the scenes.
There are no winners among all the chosen ones.
"Remind other departments to pay attention to their mental state." That was the only conclusion Anzhi could come up with in the end.
"Do we... really have any meaning?"
Perhaps because he majored in psychology, Zhang Mingyu's thinking was more sensitive and delicate, and he quickly figured out the meaning behind it.
It was a kind of despair where there was no light.
He lowered his head dejectedly, naturally missing the rare smile that An Zhi showed. She gazed at Yin Zhu on the screen with gentle yet regretful eyes, and said firmly:
"Of course there is, hope is already in sight."
Yin Zhu above is pretending to casually play the victim: "I come from outside, and I have a younger sister who is not yet an adult to support, so I need Vena coins."
This statement is no different from saying "I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise."
However, Mary's mother's gaze did soften, which made Yin Zhu realize: Mary is swayed by gentleness! Since he couldn't beat her with force, he could still get his money's worth by being soft.
Yin Zhu immediately created a persona for herself in her mind as a poor college student who worked hard to support herself through her studies.
A pitiful woman (played by Yin Zhu) who smuggled herself into the city from outside. Although she is well-read, she has no future. She also has an underage younger sister (played by Hirano San) to support. She can only tutor the child to supplement the family income.
Although poverty limited a woman's future, it did not break her spirit!
She didn't try to curry favor with the elite citizens or betray her own kind. Instead, she chose to improve her life through her own labor, so that her family could have a better life! She was honest and kind, ambitious and discerning. She was the true light of humanity in the city of Vina!
Yin Zhu was almost moved to tears by her own inspirational persona, and wished she could give herself a perfect score.
However, Mary's mother only treated Yin Zhu more gently and had a slightly higher level of favorability towards her, nothing more. It was probably a dozen times less than the level that Yin Zhu had imagined.
If it were a pink-talent holder, they might actually move the Mary family to the point of wanting to go bankrupt to support the chosen one.
However, Yin Zhu was just an ordinary golden talent holder with no talent in emotions and thoughts, and could not directly interfere with the natives' thinking. So he only received a reply from Mary's mother: "As long as you protect Mary, what is rightfully yours will be yours."
