The first sentence was spoken by the person in question.
Ruan Chen recalled that whether it was himself in the alternate timeline or Feng Shuang, they were the ones who took the initiative to come to him. But the main character here, Ruan Chen, was interesting. His goal was very clear: he was after this group of parasites.
The first sentence was highly provocative.
Nobody actually took ten minutes to reply, and even then, the reply was extremely polite: "Miss Ruan is a genius; we wouldn't be so foolish as to cause you trouble."
The person in question did not respond.
Ruan Chen could easily picture the person in question's expression and demeanor at that moment—a disdainful look in their eyes as they stared at the screen, a half-smile playing on their lips, and their fingers slowly tapping the corner of the table.
Nobody's next reply came three minutes later: "Ms. Ruan, what brings you here?"
The person in question still hasn't responded.
nobody: [You've already killed three of our members. You know how difficult it is for our species to reproduce. We hope you'll show mercy.]
Ruan Chen, who was slowly scrolling through the pictures, suddenly sat up straight, her eyes sharpening as she stared intently at the screen.
The true beings living here actually have the power to erase their existence?
But they are just a piece of empty data, wandering around by communicating with various signals. Even if you can see them in complex and redundant data, you can't do anything about them.
How did the person in question manage to do that?
If Ruan Chen, who lives here, can eliminate three of them, then given enough time, she could even annihilate this detestable race completely, dispelling the threat that has loomed over human civilization for 1,500 years.
Ruan Chen understood what nobody meant at the beginning; the phrase "a prodigy" was no joke.
[How else can I contact you? Every time I find you, you play dead. It's strange, weren't you quite the moralizing experts when you were trying to recruit the instructors at Crescent Bay? I didn't see you hiding from the higher-ups at the research institute either, launching 1.32 million attacks on the institute's core confidential document database in three days, weren't you quite capable? Why are you playing dead here?]
Ruan Chen couldn't help but laugh as he read those imposing and provocative words.
So this is what she was like living here.
It turns out that she, who lives here, is just like her.
They were all so unrestrained, arrogant, and domineering.
Ruan Chen then had to admit that the Ruan Chen living here seemed to be more outstanding than herself. She had experienced more hardships, but she was still incredibly talented.
Ruan Chen subconsciously pondered: how could someone who had experienced such things—any one of which would have been a fatal blow to anyone else—still live on tenaciously, desperately trying to find a way out, become the executioner who pushed civilization to its destruction?
She continued reading.
nobody: [Miss Ruan, we don't seem to have touched your interests. From what we've observed, the instructors we've recruited are at an all-time low in terms of relationship with you, and two of them are even plotting to harm you. Why are you making things difficult for us? You see, we've never harassed Commander Fu.]
"Looks like you don't want to live anymore." Clearly, nobody's words touched a nerve with Ruan Chen, and she coldly typed out a line.
nobody: [Sorry, Ms. Ruan. Let's be frank. Since you're so determined to communicate with us face-to-face, what do you want?]
nobody: [We will do our best to help you.]
They were really afraid of her.
She is the only person in thousands of years who can track them down and even erase their existence.
What frightened them even more was her rate of growth.
[Cooperation. I need a strong enough partner; the people here are too stupid.]
Ruan Chen stopped browsing the chat history and lingered on this sentence with interest for a moment.
"You want to seize this civilization for yourselves? I'll help you out. I find this civilization utterly hypocritical and utterly boring."
-------------------------------------
Ruan Chen woke up early the next morning with panda eyes again, and was so sleepy while eating that she dropped her steamed buns on the floor.
Fu Jianzhi looked at her with concern, "Why don't you skip today's class? I'll ask for leave for you."
Ruan Chen spent the whole night reading the chat history.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, realizing that she did indeed need some time alone to reflect on the whole story.
"Thanks." She put down her chopsticks and stood up.
Last night, Ruan Chen not only read through all the chat logs left by the person in question, but also found an interesting little program on this computer.
This program is very short, only a dozen lines long, but once it runs, it can directly block their virtual signals.
The latter part of this program runs independently and can be used as bait to lure their signals in. Then, the program will automatically cut off all signal transmission from the instrument and directly execute the shredding program until their virtual signals are completely erased.
It cannot be restored.
Ruan Chen had tried many times to design a blocking program when working on the secondary timeline, but he kept failing, let alone such an ingenious program.
She thought that Ruan Chen, who lived here, was indeed very strong.
I just don't know where the person in question has gone.
On her second day here, Ruan Chen tried to find out the real person's life trajectory in the Crescent Bay system, to find out what she was doing and why she was so late in returning, allowing this fake to take over her place.
However, someone had set up an alert program targeting the name "Ruan Chen". As soon as she started searching in the Crescent Bay system, Fu Jianzhi banged on the door and said with a stern face that she had violated the rules and that the search should be stopped immediately.
Then he immediately put on a grin and said that if his sister wanted to know anything, she could just ask him directly, and there was no need to break the rules.
Ruan Chen summarized what the person in question wanted to do.
It's actually very simple.
Ruan Chen, who lives here, wants to use their power to break through the technological limitations of the universe—which fits Ruan Chen's attitude of using any means to achieve his goals, and also fits Ruan Chen's persona of seemingly not caring about anything, but actually being obsessed with academics.
However, for some reason, Ruan Chen was still betrayed by them during the later stages of the plan's execution.
Ruan Chen wasn't sure if the limitations of the technical screening had been overcome, but she knew that even Fu Jianzhi thought the person in charge here was a traitor.
