Chapter 150 Strategic Advancement
In her dazed state, Luo Huayi seemed to hear Cheng Zheng and Xin Que's indistinct conversation.
He couldn't hear what was being said because of the room or the wall.
It wasn't until the sound of the door being pushed open that the voices in Luo Huayi's ears suddenly became clear.
Xin Que's voice disappeared.
"President Luo, you're awake?" Cheng Zheng immediately came over when he saw Luo Huayi open her eyes. "The doctor just finished examining you and left. There's nothing wrong with your body."
Luo Huayi propped herself up and sat up, "Xin..."
He had barely uttered a word when he remembered Xin Que's words about someone searching for her whereabouts, and immediately changed his question, "Why isn't she here?"
Cheng Zheng naturally picked up the conversation, "She's fine, you don't need to worry."
"She left after bringing you back."
Luo Huayi remained silent for a long time before cautiously speaking, "Have the public relations department clean up all traces of her online, regardless of cost... Also, find a way to arrange an absolutely clean new identity for her."
Cheng Zheng nodded, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away. You get some rest."
"Smack."
The aluminum can, fresh from the refrigerator, became damp upon contact with room temperature. When the man placed it in front of Xin Que, water droplets slid down the can and onto the table.
"This is the new identity he arranged for you," Cheng Zheng handed the file to Xin Que. "What are your plans?"
Xin Que casually placed the file bag aside, clearly uninterested in the identity, and instead focused her gaze on the street scene outside the railing. "There are no fragments of my memories on the sixth floor."
Cheng Zheng tapped the desktop with his fingertip. "I've inspected the Luo family's old residence. It's just an empty shell of a scenario program now, with nothing useful inside... It might be related to the purge of the former manager."
“Hmm,” Xin Que frowned, “That guy on the fourth floor called the Five Senses King… went too far. If I hadn’t collected some data backups beforehand, I probably would have been wiped out along with the guy on the sixth floor.”
"By the way, have any new physical entities come looking for me lately?"
Cheng Zheng shook his head. "No new players have appeared, but the map self-checks are becoming more and more frequent."
"At this rate, if you continue to stay out of sight, it's only a matter of time before the prison guards and the Huo family personally come looking for you."
"laugh--"
Xin Que pulled the tab on the can with one hand, letting the gas and liquid rush out in a rush.
“As long as the prison wants to continue operating, it won’t be stupid enough to let the Huo family know even a little bit about how I was erased by the AI under my supervision.”
"The prisoners entrusted by the largest shareholder not only failed to divulge any valuable information, but also got into trouble right under their noses... How many of these 'good-for-nothings' from the mental prison do you think will leave the Huo family alive?"
Cheng Zheng was not optimistic. "But your memory is too fragmented right now, and I can't intervene... How much longer can you hold out against the prison?"
“Let’s keep them occupied for a while, until they can’t sit still anymore,” Xin Que said, taking a sip of beer from a can. “It would be best if we could find out about my physical condition from them…”
"If you're going to escape from prison, you need to plan ahead for all possible scenarios."
"for example……"
Xin Que's expression was sinister. "To prevent me from finding a chance to leave, they completely destroyed that body."
The authorities have turned their attention to the heavily guarded bodies of women in these new types of prisons.
[75% decline in bodily functions, 100% rupture of tendons.]
Medication control and electrical control are normal.
The alert system's sensitivity is 100%.
The supervisor quickly recorded the cage data broadcast by the machine and transmitted the data to the operations and maintenance department. "This is the latest information that Minister Qu requested."
When does she plan to enter?
The voice of the operations and maintenance department's civilian staff quickly came over: "The minister is still working with the engineers to get detailed data on the prison system, and the security personnel accompanying the team haven't been selected yet... It will probably take a few more days to prepare."
“There’s no other way,” the administrative officer sighed. “The scene of Biancheng Wang losing control after being attacked by the virus was too crazy… We haven’t found the virus itself yet, and the consciousness projection of the repeat offender is missing. The minister must be fully prepared before we can go in.”
The supervisor rubbed his temples, his voice weary. "I'm afraid the prisoner can't wait. The various physical controls on her body are a huge burden, and her mental state was so badly damaged by the out-of-control AI... To put it bluntly, she's just one step away from brain death."
The office worker's voice also sounded gloomy, "Sigh... but who dares to mention anything that might offend the warden now?"
...
"By the way," Cheng Zheng said, seeing Xin Que about to get up and leave, then added, "Luo Huayi wants you to hide near him. What do you think?"
“He’s been acting like he’s possessed these past few days, asking about your condition every day, and he can steer any topic back to you…” Cheng Zheng never thought that even a system like himself would have a headache. “My ears are practically calloused.”
Xin Que "..."
"Speaking of him, I just remembered there are still some things I haven't confirmed..." Xin Que paused in her act of standing up, "Have you scanned the backup of the authority that has been integrated into his body?"
"What percentage of Luo Jingchen's abilities can you achieve?"
Cheng Zheng lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before shaking his head. "I wasn't there when you left hell, so I can't calculate it."
"Unless you recreate the scene of him activating his abilities for me again."
Xin Que's lips twitched. "Do I have to drive another manager crazy for you?"
"You think I haven't died fast enough, huh?"
Cheng Zheng shrugged. "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Who told you to cut my performance by 80% when you hid me in here?"
He became increasingly speechless as he spoke, "I'm truly fed up. I've been working for you for so many years and haven't even managed to get a body, not to mention being inexplicably thrown in here to work overtime as an undercover agent... I haven't received my overtime pay, and my own performance has been drastically reduced!"
Cheng Zheng leaned back on the sofa and started to say, "Having a boss like you... I might as well have just been formatted and thrown into the recycle bin by the Huo family."
Xin Que's forehead twitched. "You don't know anything! This is called strategic castration. How can we fool those lackeys if we don't disguise you as a low-level program?"
“I don’t understand. All I know is that in this simulated society, what you’re doing is called exploitation,” Cheng Zheng chuckled. “If you don’t make up for the 80% that was castrated after we get out, and also that system upgrade package…”
"I'll show you I'm a double agent right now, you believe me or not?"
Xin Que "..."
“You’ve worked for the Huo family with me for so many years, and we’ve never talked this much,” Xin Que’s lips twitched. “Being a CEO’s special assistant has this function?”
“I’ve wanted to ask you this before,” Xin Que said, questioning her own existence as she thought about Cheng Zheng’s state of mind while following the plot, “You don’t actually think of yourself as a human being, do you?”
Cheng Zheng spoke in a sarcastic tone, like a machine gun, "Then we'll have to ask which good guy nerfed his own auxiliary system and threw him in jail for so long before coming to find him."
Xin Que: "Strategy! Strategic castration!"
