Chapter 238 Mediation
Before leaving, Lin Ying gave Wen Jingchen a deep look.
A qualified speculator would never allow himself to remain trapped on one mountain.
Wen Jingchen sat quietly in his office, now empty except for himself, his body gradually hunching over.
How are you?
Cheng Zheng's familiar voice rang out from Wen Jingchen's consciousness channel.
“Not good,” Wen Jingchen, or rather Xin Que, said, his voice visibly weak. “Wen Jingchen’s remaining consciousness has been trying to fight back… and there’s also the body’s rejection reaction.”
The medication to suppress the rejection reaction is in the medical department, which is located a short distance away from...
Xin Que shook her head. "I can still suppress it. We can't waste time on this body."
Cheng Zheng fell silent for a while before speaking again, changing the subject to try and distract Xin Que.
Will Lin Ying really be successfully turned?
"Whether he rebels or not is not important. What is important is that someone who dares to turn the tables on Wen Jingchen will not sit idly by and wait for death. Once such a person's desire to change his patron is stirred up, he will definitely be able to give Huo Fenglin a big surprise."
Just like Xin Que.
"How long will it take to restore the broadcast network?" Xin Que asked.
"Three minutes left," Cheng Zheng replied quickly.
Xin Que was unsure how far Luo Huayi could drag down the AIs around Huo Fenglin during this period.
But she had to seize the opportunity and throw the prison into chaos as soon as possible.
...
Luo Huayi expressionlessly pulled out the iron chain that was embedded in his collarbone.
King Pingdeng coldly watched the man opposite him rapidly recover from his wounds. Countless venomous scorpions, each as tall as two men, lurked in the air beside him, pointing their stingers at Luo Huayi. "Overestimating yourself."
The Black Iron Thorns have undergone a slight change.
Countless rubble, bricks, and thorns mingled in the bramble forest, tumbling down with the force of a landslide and falling rocks, before meeting King Ping's scorpion-hook hell.
“Wood, stone, earth, and tiles press down on the small hell…” King Pingdeng’s expression grew increasingly gloomy. “He stole the authority over hell that King Wuguan was in charge of.”
Seeing that the opponent was showing signs of growing to the level of a division-level AI, Huo Fenglin could barely maintain his composure.
"King of Equality?! Can you handle him yourself?"
King Pingdeng, wielding authority over the Sixteen Lesser Hells, approached Luo Huayi step by step, saying, "No need to worry!"
Countless giant pythons, their crimson and purple hues intertwined, emerged from the scorpion thicket and began to swarm and attack Luo Huayi.
A series of booming sounds came from the sky behind King Pingdeng. Then, the endless hell, bound by iron nets, accompanied by the screams and roars of countless sinful souls being burned and roasted, crushed towards Luo Huayi's location.
Avici Hell.
Luo Huayi gripped the spear tightly in her hand.
The Great Hell, under the control of the Five Senses King, crashed down from the other half of the sky at his command.
When the two hells collided, the sky changed color.
One on the left and one on the right, one black and one red.
Starting from the point in the center of the sky where the two hells meet, a devastating force of despair rapidly tore the sky in two, and then that force covered everything visible to the naked eye.
Until it engulfs the entire city.
...
"Cheng Zheng".
Xin Que's weak voice gradually regained its composure, "Get ready."
【Know. 】
Lin Ying did not return to the office.
But this was the reaction Xin Que had anticipated.
It would be best to thoroughly investigate the current public opinion storm surrounding Huo Fenglin.
This way, they can escape Huo Fenglin's camp more quickly.
"Assistant Feng, the internet will be restored soon, don't worry..."
Outside the door, the engineer was working urgently to repair the interrogation plan and the administrator's network connection while trying his best to calm Feng Caijun down.
Feng Caijun's expression did not improve much despite the engineer's words of comfort.
"Where's Wen Jingchen!" he said in a deep voice. "Bring Wen Jingchen out and let him explain why the administrator's network suddenly became unstable and disconnected."
Xin Que was brought out once again.
“You overestimate me.” Xin Que looked dejected. “My highest level of access was shut down long ago, and the administrator’s account and password have been transferred to you and Mr. Huo.”
"Assistant Feng, I know you don't trust me."
“But I’m not stupid. I can see the situation clearly. Going against Mr. Huo is going against the Huo family… Where would I get the guts?”
Feng Caijun then ordered a thorough re-examination of all of Wen Jingchen's office equipment and personal communication devices.
The warden's office, which had been sealed off, was reconnected to the power supply and its operation was restored.
The various devices that had been shut down in the warden's office were also turned on one after another and carefully inspected by the engineers.
Several engineers inspected the equipment and then shut it down again.
There was nothing suspicious about it.
Feng Caijun's doubts were not dispelled. He looked at the engineer beside him and said, "The network was lost shortly after Wen Jingchen left the interrogation room. Could it be that he did something to sabotage it?"
The engineer pulled up all the operation logs. "Assistant Feng, this virus program is a modified backdoor program. We cannot rule out the possibility that Wen Jingchen tampered with it, but he has neither the means nor the motive to do so."
"Putting aside the fact that he was under our surveillance the whole time and had no time to prepare a virus program to access the administrator system, even if it really was him..."
The engineer himself found it laughable: "The interval between program activations was far too short. He had just come up with the interrogation plan and the virus had already struck. It was practically self-incriminating that he was the culprit."
Feng Caijun glanced at Wen Jingchen.
That's true.
Even the dumbest person knows that when committing a crime, the first thing to do is to clear themselves of suspicion.
Think about it more deeply...
Feng Caijun suddenly remembered that there was another character in the interrogation plan that they had overlooked.
Xin Que.
The interrogation of Xin Que has been going remarkably smoothly lately, which has led to a significant easing of their vigilance towards her.
But Feng Caijun knew about the crazy things Xin Que had done.
Pretending to lie low, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate...
It's not impossible.
"You asked me if I did anything suspicious when I was in contact with Xin Que?"
Wen Jingchen looked surprised, then frowned and pondered, "She's been trying to get the role of Fan Yun... does that count?"
The engineer was taken aback. "Subversion and restraint procedure 03? Wait... Looking at the interrogation log, Xin Que did indeed take actions to subvert and restraint procedure 01."
"Using the same old trick to turn someone against their own side 03 does fit Xin Que's behavioral logic..."
Suspicion gradually shifted from Wen Jingchen to Xin Que.
No one paid any more attention to the equipment that had been opened and closed during the thorough investigation of the warden's office.
Cheng Zheng had already left the prison intranet by following the path of Wen Jingchen's private communication device that had been opened and inspected.
Xin Que, or rather Wen Jingchen, has a diminishing presence.
"Network connection restored!!!"
The engineer watching the floating screen exclaimed with ecstasy.
Feng Caijun and the engineer exchanged a glance, then immediately abandoned Xin Que and rushed toward the floating screen.
