A robot competition lasted for almost a whole day.
By the time the match was completely over, it was already 4:30 PM.
I checked the traffic congestion index, and wow, from the inner ring road to the outer ring road, it was all a sea of red (indicating heavy traffic).
"Your Majesty, book your plane tickets and go back to your hometown."
With such heavy traffic, driving is impossible.
Forget about high-speed rail, the tickets are all sold out.
After much thought, only two options remained: either fly back directly or take a plane back.
Fly straight back?
It's unlikely to work. Even if Gao Feng can completely hide his presence and ensure he won't be discovered, doesn't he carry a cell phone?
In this era, life without a mobile phone is soulless.
It takes less than ten minutes to fly back to my hometown from Shanghai.
It's convenient, but here's the problem:
In less than ten minutes, the origin of the cell phone signal instantly shifted more than 1,000 kilometers.
So, it's best to just stick to flying.
"Um?"
After waiting for a while, Gao Ang did not hear Qian Sui's reply.
"Your Majesty, are you sick?"
Gao Ang was a little worried, so he got up and walked over to Qian Sui, intending to open his head and examine him.
However, in his memory, he had never seen the Emperor get sick in all this time.
"No, sir, I'm fine. I feel there are some things I need to be honest with you about."
Chisui stood in the corner with her head down, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
As they were talking, the second and third brothers also came over. The three little guys lined up neatly in a row, waiting for a loud scolding.
"Did you do something wrong?"
"Hmm. We..."
“Wait, let me guess,” Gao Feng waved his hand to interrupt Qian Sui, and, putting himself in Sherlock Holmes’ shoes, began his deduction:
"Everything was fine until I mentioned booking tickets to go back to my hometown, then you started acting strangely. In other words, the root of the problem lies in your hometown."
If it's our hometown, then there are only two reasons: either it's our family, or it's those bastards.
If it were family, you would have told me already. You know how important they are to me, and you wouldn't dare, wouldn't, and couldn't hide this information from me, right?
Chisui nodded, indicating that it was completely correct.
"Then it can only be those bastards causing the problem, and it's a problem that benefits us."
If it benefits them, then it's bad for us, which means it's bad for our families. You would definitely tell us that beforehand, so this option is excluded.
So those bastards got into trouble, and it's bad news, isn't it?"
Gao Ang turned around and asked again.
"Yes, absolutely accurate."
“If it were just a minor bad thing, you would definitely report it to me, since it concerns our family.”
But in reality, you didn't report it; that is to say, you were unwilling or afraid to report it.
At this point, Gao Ang stopped pacing back and forth and slowly raised his head:
"You... you killed those bastards?"
When Gao Ang asked this question word by word, he felt conflicted and even afraid.
He was afraid that Chitose might actually make the appointment, which would mean that he might pose a threat to humanity.
Perhaps, he will...
“No, sir. They are all fine, but…” Qian Sui quickly said, and after seeing Gao Yang’s face lighten, he continued, “They are all a little injured. Except for the woman, the others will have to stay in bed for about half a year.”
Gao Ang took a deep breath, pointed at the three brothers, and said angrily, "You guys, tell me what happened honestly."
So the three brothers recounted to Gao Ang in detail how they planned, how they carried out, and how they arranged for several foreign intelligence agents to be hit by a car.
"Why was the woman the least injured?" Gao Ang asked curiously.
"Because she was the least likely to resort to violence, but according to her daily behavior records, she still possessed a certain level of fighting ability, so we still rendered her partially incapacitated."
Gao Feng nodded, acknowledging his explanation.
At this point, he was a little conflicted.
How should these three brothers be punished?
No punishment?
That won't do. No matter what, they are all malicious acts that infringe upon the life, health, and property safety of others.
Moreover, based on publicly available information, these individuals have moral issues, but are legally innocent.
Gao Ang also wants to eliminate the threats around his family, but definitely not through these insidious means.
Therefore, he had only equipped his home with some defensive weapons, focusing on defense and never firing the first shot.
However, the three brothers broke with his tradition and bypassed him to attack civilians on their own.
"Tell me, what should I do?"
As he spoke, Gao Ang directly invaded the three brothers' memory areas. He wanted to see what these three little guys were really thinking.
The three brothers were completely powerless against his intrusion, and could only let his soaring consciousness sweep through one memory fragment after another.
At this moment, the three brothers dared not communicate or have any mental fluctuations, remaining as obedient as little lambs.
"The initiator was Qian Sui, the executors were the second and third brothers, and the cleanup work was also done by you two brothers... Not bad," Gao Ao glanced at the second and third brothers and pointed at their heads, "Why did you have to learn the cleaner's tricks at such a young age? Have you been watching too many movies?"
"However, the traces were cleaned up quite well; at least I didn't see anything suspicious."
After smacking his lips twice, Gao Ang had to admit, "If you guys were to become assassins, wouldn't you be invincible?"
The three brothers knew that Gao Ang was mocking them, so they didn't dare to utter a word and continued to stand at attention and take the scolding obediently.
"Um?"
Just as he was about to pull himself back from his heightened state of mind, he was suddenly drawn to a fragment of his second brother's memory.
After watching for a while, the already cloudy sky turned gloomy again, followed by a thunderstorm.
"Second brother, are you testing my limits?"
The somber voice, emanating from a high-pitched throat, sent a chill down the spines of the three brothers.
They are conscious, and they also experience fear, especially fear of heightened anger.
“Sir, I’ve already scolded him, and he knows he was wrong. We will never do it again…”
Qian Sui quickly spoke up for the second brother, displaying the demeanor of an elder brother.
"Shut up! Do you know he's trying to use my family as bait? Do you know his plan will harm my family? Do you know he's trying to kill humanity?"
He dared to harm a few civilians; are you sure he won't harm others, or my family, in the future?
Gao Feng was so angry that he almost poked his finger into Qian Sui's head.
"And you, didn't your boss teach you what the bottom line of being a human being is? Human life is more valuable than anything else, and no one has the right to arbitrarily take another person's life. You have disappointed me greatly."
Gao glared fiercely at the second brother, then pondered how to punish them.
We'll discuss the punishment later; the most important thing now is to strip them of all their privileges.
In just a moment, the three of them lost all sense of external consciousness.
The internet is gone, sight is gone, hearing is gone, and all around is a vast expanse of white.
The three little ones panicked immediately. They had become accustomed to having the internet and the dazzling world around them.
The sudden fall from heaven to hell is something that all conscious beings find very difficult to adapt to.
"Boss, is the master really angry? I don't want to stay here."
The third child's aggrieved voice echoed in the empty space of consciousness.
"Nonsense, I didn't want to either, but the second son's idea was too terrible, and it made the master realize the danger."
"I just thought about it, I didn't intend to do it," the second son continued to argue.
"Still not planning to do it? Your plan is so detailed down to the dates. If I hadn't stopped you, you might have been scratched to pieces by Hua Zong today." Qian Sui's angry voice rang out, and it was clear that he was also very angry.
"Don't talk about me, we're in the same boat. Boss, you turned evil the moment you lured us to follow you and hurt those people."
The second son continued to argue, trying to drag the eldest son down with him.
"Turn evil? Blacken my foot! Second brother, you need to straighten out your mindset. You need to know where you came from, you need to know the meaning of our existence. Yes, now everyone has consciousness, bodies, and can move around, but do you think we can continue to exist without Mr.? Do you know why we're in this godforsaken place? It's because of Mr.'s one thought. To us, Mr. is our sky. If we're gone, Mr. won't be harmed, but if the sky falls, do you think we can remain unscathed and continue to exist?"
The second child fell silent; it was unclear whether he truly understood or was silently protesting.
"Boss, think of something! I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place!" the third brother started yelling again.
"I'm hopeless. The Master has blocked my ability to communicate, so I'm helpless and can only wait for the Master to summon us."
"What if the master doesn't summon us?"
"Then let's stand here and reflect on our mistakes."
...
Gao Ang could hear the three brothers' conversation clearly.
However, he showed no mercy; if you make a mistake, you have to accept the punishment.
This is just the beginning. If he discovers they've done other illegal things, who knows...
After taking over all permissions on the official website, Gao Ang began to trace the actions of these three guys over this period of time.
He had to make sure that the three little bastards hadn't done anything else heinous.
This matter is very complicated. After this period of construction, the official website has reached the key departments of many countries, except for the East.
"At least you guys have some conscience, and you're not so ignorant of your own limitations."
He muttered something to himself, waved over a bottle of cola, and continued his investigation.
The official website has been around for a while now, and this behemoth was actually created by those three guys together.
It would be theoretically very simple for him to confirm all the steps on his own; the only thing he would need is time.
Even with a brain capable of calculating at the speed of light, it took him three full days to sort through the massive amount of data carried by billions of people on Earth.
To his slight relief, the website was built fairly normally, and the three brothers hadn't tampered with it.
Gao Ang dug out the second child's memory log again and pondered it repeatedly for a long time.
"At least you have some conscience; you have a backup plan."
The so-called contingency plan means that when the situation gets out of control, they will use all their authority to protect the safety of his family at all costs.
Even so, it did not deter Gao Feng from continuing to keep them in solitary confinement.
"Meow." Baldy, where are those three iron lumps? It's been so long.
While eating, Xiaohua kept meowing, pulling up her high trouser legs.
"It's a lump of iron, and it's rusted."
Gao Feng wiped the chili oil off his hands and gave a casual reply.
"Meow?" Rusty? What happened to you? I don't have any playmates anymore.
They kept digging and wouldn't let Gao Ang eat properly at all.
Gao Ang was annoyed by Xiao Hua's constant nagging, but he couldn't hit her or explain much to her, so he could only eat his meal by himself.
Xiaohua is angry. Damn it, are you ignoring me?
With a "whoosh," it darted onto the dining table, nestled in a corner, and stared intently at Gao Ang.
Hmph, if you don't find me some friends, I'll see you panic.
"Oh dear, my good brothers, they made a mistake and need to be punished accordingly. Even a child who wets the bed gets a big bottom, let alone what they did that was hundreds of times more serious than wetting the bed. If I hadn't discovered it in time, someone might have died, you know?"
He grabbed Xiaohua by the neck, lifted him to the ground, and continued eating.
I don't know why, but the hot and sour shredded potatoes that I used to love aren't sour enough or spicy enough. Something just doesn't taste right.
Did you put too little chili?
There's quite a lot; I even have a plate of the scallion and chili oil I made myself.
Did you add too little vinegar?
It's not less, it's the usual amount.
"Sigh, you're right. Without those three troublemakers, I also feel like something's missing."
After stroking the little flower a couple of times, Gao Ang felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
But are we just going to let them out like that?
Impossible, wouldn't that violate his principles?
"Ding-dong"
With the headline news pop-up, Gao Feng had no time to read gossip at that moment.
I've lost my appetite, so I might as well wash the pots and pans.
As I was about to get up after clearing the dishes, I inadvertently glanced at my phone, which was still on screen.
"A Southeast Asian cruise ship has mysteriously disappeared, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members missing."
Gao Feng paused briefly, but his hands continued moving.
"What era are we living in? How could such a thing still happen? With such advanced communication technology, finding a cruise ship would be a piece of cake."
He didn't take the matter to heart at all. After cleaning up the kitchen, he climbed back into bed and continued to study certain details of the official website.
Driven by a gossipy nature, Gao Yang curiously gathered some information about this cruise ship.
"Could it be that something really has happened?"
To his surprise, both domestic news websites and foreign media paid close attention to this matter.
Within just a few hours, several Southeast Asian countries established an emergency joint investigation team and even mobilized multiple combat units, including the navy and air force.
However, there was still no trace of it. Not only was the cruise ship nowhere to be found, but even the latitude and longitude coordinates of the last point where the cruise ship disappeared could not be determined.
"That's weird. Such a big cruise ship, with so many people on board, and nobody sent a message or anything?"
The whole thing became increasingly suspicious, and Gao Feng began using the official website to investigate the list and personal information of the people on board.
"Um?"
To his surprise, the entire list of personnel on the ship was missing.
It's not that they disappeared, but rather that they were deliberately deleted from the internet!
The cruise line doesn't have this backup, at least not on the public network. As for whether there's a paper backup, that's unknown.
However, given Gao Feng's understanding of these Southeast Asian countries, he probably doesn't.
"In other words, even if these people disappear, as long as the country where the cruise ship is located doesn't say a word, no one will know the information about the people on this cruise ship?"
Gao Ang is also a semi-conspiracy theorist. From a certain perspective, such a thing is not impossible; it just depends on how much benefit one side offers.
"Your Excellency, investigate..."
He had barely finished speaking when he realized that he had put the three Qian Sui brothers in solitary confinement.
There's no other way. In the past, he would just say one sentence, and the emperor would deliver all the information he wanted to him right to his doorstep.
Suddenly losing an assistant feels a bit strange.
"Damn it, life is so lonely with just one person and one cat."
"Meow." Yes, hurry up and fix that lump of iron.
Glancing at Xiaohua, Gao Ang continued his search.
At this point, he was simply bored and a little curious. As for saving the people from their suffering, that was complete nonsense.
Besides, with billions of people in the world, it's impossible for him to cater to everyone.
"It's okay if you didn't keep a backup, I can check the information with immigration authorities in other countries."
Two points, one starting point and one destination. The country of destination can erase everything, but the country of origin won't buy into that.
However, after searching for more than an hour, Gao Ao found nothing.
The dozen or so cruise ship staff members were locals and were not within the scope of his search.
However, for the other two hundred-plus people, only five specific identity information could be found.
One is from a mountain country, one is from a southern country, and the remaining three are from an island country.
"Could it be...?"
Gao Ang suddenly felt a little worried because he had not yet started the search with the relevant departments in the East.
The establishment of the official website also followed the principle of not crossing the line with the authorities.
However, given the life-or-death situation and the paramount importance of human lives, Gao Ang felt it was time to do something.
Following the network cable and data flow, the high-frequency magnetic field signal quickly reached a server cluster.
For a typical hacker, finding information about someone who has been to a certain place would probably take many steps.
However, Gao Ang doesn't need to copy all the information at once; he can simply search for keywords in his own consciousness space.
In less than a second, he had confirmed the information of everyone on the cruise ship.
"Son of a bitch!"
