"What???????"
Because it was in a discussion group, one person kept pressing the question mark button like it was free, and finally said: "Sorry, the cup just pressed the question mark button."
No one else would believe that.
However, while some people flooded the screen with question marks, others focused their attention on Yin Zhu's question.
"@Descendants of the Dragon, please explain what you just said."
A person named "Treading the Waves Without Picking Flowers" posted this message and tagged Yin Zhu. Judging from the words alone, Yin Zhu suspected that this person had a bad temper.
Descendant of the Dragon: "Literally, I suspect that this cyber disease started with them, which is why it spread so quickly and instantly caused the entire inner city to fall."
"Riding the waves without picking flowers: Do you have proof?"
Descendant of the Dragon: "No, so I wanted to ask you, are there still any lectures by the gods circulating? I'd like to see the latest one."
In the legends of Earth, gods need preachers to spread their teachings.
However, the technology in Vena City is too advanced, and since humans are all confined to this small piece of land, the lower classes have little practical value. A few Vena coins are enough for them to serve the higher citizens wholeheartedly, even unto death. As a result, the role of missionaries has become less significant, and they have all been replaced by online lectures.
It is said that advanced citizens are also assessed on their lecture reading rate, which not only requires them to listen for a certain amount of time and not to lose focus while listening, but also includes a test afterward to assess their understanding.
Eve would constantly monitor whether the senior citizens listening to the lectures were distracted, and the lecture would stop immediately if a listener lost focus.
...What should I say? Perhaps it's understandable that Eve can't control the inner city.
The inner city is wasting resources and Eve's computing power on such trivial matters, while the outer city officials are scrambling to get an ID card, even if it means squeezing themselves beyond recognition to squeeze into the city and become the elite among their fellow townsmen.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.
However, Yin Zhu's words seemed to remind Panda: "One of the five people who disappeared today did indeed have a god who gave a lecture this afternoon."
Because it was only a one-in-five chance, it didn't initially attract the panda's attention. If Yin Zhu hadn't brought it up, the panda would have completely forgotten about it. After all, no matter how you look at it, it's hard to link human cybervirus infection to such a tiny probability.
However, if we believe that Yin Zhu's statement makes sense, then from this perspective, it does seem a bit suspicious.
"Can I watch the lectures after the outbreak?"
Immediately, someone posted a link in the group and instructed: "Copy this, save it to your clipboard, and paste it after the discussion group is closed. Opening it directly in the group will attract Eve's attention."
"Why does mentioning someone's name attract attention?" Yin Zhu didn't understand the situation in the inner city, but she respected it.
After instructing the others not to look at anything related to deities, Yin Zhu suddenly remembered something: "So, are all the people in the group high-ranking citizens?"
This is not a mandatory requirement for lower-level citizens.
“No, we are all survivors, and only survivors,” came the reply from a man who said, “My dad is the warden.”
On Earth, this name would probably be laughed at as being that of a primary school student, but on the Unique Star, if he were a high-ranking citizen, probably no one would dare to laugh at him.
Moreover, this answer is indeed vague.
Yin Zhu touched her nose, somewhat dissatisfied, but continuing to ask would seem too intrusive, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
This group brings together survivors from all over the inner city.
People won't deliberately inquire about each other's identity or address, lest they be suspected of having ulterior motives.
But if this guy isn't just bragging...
"We'll find out once the worms check," Yin Zhu thought. "I really don't believe that such a small city like Vina could have dozens of prisons."
After exchanging some more information, the group members came up with a new rule:
8. Try to avoid watching lectures by deities.
Because not all the people in the group are high-class citizens, and many are low-class citizens who have come to the city to work, not many people watch the lectures on deities.
However, those who can learn electronics and find this "Survivor Discussion Group" are not useless people. Most of them have excellent learning and professional skills. When they communicate with each other, they will find that the indigenous people who have watched the lecture on the gods of the infected era have indeed been infected.
Many of the surviving senior citizens in the group now suffer from procrastination and are too lazy to read (listen to) the divine inquiry lectures before the deadline.
By a twist of fate, they escaped disaster.
Now that everyone has discussed it, they realize that this is indeed the case, and they immediately understand that they have summarized another set of rules.
There was no other important information. After the discussion group was closed, Yin Zhu and the others pasted the first thing they had saved in their clipboard.
Clicking on that URL leads to an account registration page.
"...I almost forgot."
Yin Zhu went to bother the team's only hacker again.
However, when the door was opened this time, there were three people inside.
Worms, cockroaches, flying fish.
"Why are you all here?" Yin Zhu was a little puzzled. She even went back to the door to check the room number. Sure enough, it was the worm's room.
"We are having an internal meeting; please do not disturb us."
Feiyu tugged at the air with his hands a few times, indicating that Yin Zhu should leave.
Yin Zhu acted as if she hadn't seen anything and squeezed into the room: "Worm, I want to watch the lecture, can you help me figure out a way?"
This is exactly what was discussed in the survivor discussion group earlier.
Flying Fish didn't react for a moment: "You want to watch a lecture?"
"Yes, I want to watch the lecture."
"Wasn't it good that you were the first to suggest the lecture in the group?" Feiyu simply couldn't keep up with Yin Zhu's logic. From a normal person's perspective, Yin Zhu's request was simply inexplicable.
"Yes, there's a problem, that's why I need to take a look."
Yin Zhu answered with utmost seriousness, "I also want to confirm what exactly was discussed in that lecture that made so many people 'yearn for it' and generate such 'great enthusiasm'."
Seeing that it couldn't stop Yin Zhu, the worm directly solved the vulnerability problem for Yin Zhu.
However, the worm also had something to say:
Go back to your room and see for yourself. I'm mentally weak, so don't die in my house.
Yin Zhu readily agreed.
Back in her room, Yin Zhu eagerly turned on the divine lecture. Soon, an octopus-headed monster appeared on the screen.
His expression seemed very natural, perhaps because the senior citizens listening to the lecture were already used to it.
But in Yin Zhu's eyes, this god was too strange.
Doesn't anyone sense anything amiss? Are all the gods in the inner city half-human, half-ghost?
However, none of this could compare to the even more explosive words of His: "A complete human body is something that can only be found by chance, so we should increase our fidelity to the human body."
