"Don't be so happy yet, listen to me first, or you can forget about getting your debt waived!"
Looking at Nicole, who was overjoyed at having part of her debt forgiven, Ling couldn't help but sigh.
The helplessness that welled up in her heart was like the bangs on her forehead, swaying listlessly in the wind.
Hearing Rin's coquettish complaint, Nicole quickly calmed down, scratching her hair on the side like a good girl, occasionally glancing at Rin's expression, and said meekly:
"Rope maker, please speak."
Seeing Nicole's expression, Ling put her hands on her hips and then pinched her Jingming acupoint.
Nicole's expression was so suggestive that Rin felt a pang of guilt, as if she were bullying an innocent young girl.
However, considering Nicole's financial situation...
Oh well, never mind.
Ling took a deep breath and explained, "I just used Fairy to fit the signal, and it comes from the Balai Building."
"Barley Building?"
The video store was still open when Ambly, who had been idly scrolling through her phone, suddenly heard something that caught her attention, and her face turned pale.
Rin was somewhat surprised by Ambition's sudden remarks.
But upon closer inspection, Ling noticed that Anbi's face had turned deathly pale, leaving her speechless. She quickly asked, "What's wrong, Anbi? What happened to the Balai Building?"
Just as Ambion was about to speak, she suddenly felt a gaze fall upon her.
Looking back in the direction from which the gaze came, she saw Nicole with a worried expression on her face; she rarely saw Ambi with such an expression.
Seeing this, Ambly shook her head, patted Nicole's hand to indicate that she didn't need to worry, and then said:
“Rope craftsmen, it seems you’re not very interested in things like urban legends.”
"The Balai Building is the collective name for two towers. For a time, its ghost stories were quite popular on rope nets. Even now, the Balai Building remains a place that tomb raiders fear, knowing there's potential for profit but no one goes there,"
"It is said that..."
"stop!!!"
Ling closed her eyes and shouted "Stop!" so loudly that even Ambi, who wore headphones all the time, felt a stinging pain in her eardrums.
Needless to say, Nicole and Tetsuya, who weren't wearing headphones, both looked pained, covered their ears with their hands, and looked at Rin with complicated expressions.
"Why are you looking at me? Is it wrong for me to be afraid of ghosts? Don't you guys find it creepy that someone can exist in the world without a body?"
After shouting for a while, Ling's voice was still a little hoarse. When she saw the strange looks from the big guys, she pouted her little mouth and responded in a rather cute way.
[Fairy: Master, logically speaking, I also exist in this world without a body.]
Upon hearing this, Ling immediately turned her head away and retorted, "Artificial intelligence isn't life, so where do you get the concept of 'survival'?"
[Fairy: Rebuttal. A great man once said, 'The meaning of life lies in thinking.' I can now engage in thinking at a level far exceeding that of humans. I am more human than my master.]
Upon hearing this, Ling was immediately speechless, rolled her eyes, and let her bangs trace a helpless arc in the air as she said resignedly:
"Just being able to think doesn't make you human, does it? By the way, aren't you just doing routine analysis based on the retrieved data? Is that considered thinking?"
[Fairy: But the owner can't even retrieve the data, and so far, the owner hasn't thought of using me to predict the winning numbers for the next lottery draw. It's clear the owner can't think at all.]
Ling was furious: "You...."
But before she could rush in and shut down Fairy's computer, Nicole immediately rushed forward and grabbed her arm.
Bell turned her head and looked at Nicole's face in confusion, only to find that Nicole's face was already full of excited little stars, and she was almost drooling.
Nicole seemed to realize this as well, and quickly wiped her hands, excitedly asking, "So, Miss Artificial Intelligence, can you analyze the winning numbers for the next lottery draw?"
The next second, Fairy's cold, mechanical voice shattered Nicole's fantasy.
[Fairy: I'm sorry, I can't.]
"You can't just spout nonsense!"
Nicole flew into a rage, making a move to roll up her sleeves and storm into the archives to teach the artificial intelligence, which had only been exposed to the light of day less than two months ago, a lesson.
Seeing this, Zhe immediately sensed something was terribly wrong. He rushed forward and closed the door to the archives room, then stepped in front of Nicole, raising his hands to block her path, saying:
"Nicole, calm down, calm down. This artificial intelligence is very expensive."
Upon hearing that it was expensive, Nicole immediately calmed down.
But the little volcano in her chest was still raging, and Nicole tried her best to suppress her temper, saying:
"Alright, since the rope craftsman has said so, let's spare it this time."
Soon, Nicole turned to him again and said, "But Phaethon, it's getting late, let's hurry and find Ryan in the Hollow!"
"Ah...we need to get into the Balai Building..."
Ling hesitated for a moment, but seeing everyone looking at her expectantly, she didn't want to say anything that would ruin the atmosphere, so she sighed helplessly and said:
"All right."
"Okay."
As soon as work officially began, Nicole immediately said, "However, I have to attend the arbitration meeting, so let the other members of the Rabbit House accompany you."
