Due to gramps Ren's funeral, I was supposed to visit Xiao Yin in the Monarch building at the end of July, but it was pushed back to early August. Fortunately, she was reasonable and didn't mind the delay.
The causal calculation program nicknamed 'Xiao Yin' had become the de facto leader of the Scientific Happiness Cult. She was called the 'Holy Infant' on some occasions. She owned businesses such as the Monarch building, the hydropower station, and the internet addiction treatment center.
Fortunately, she only hired believers to be her employees and worked hard to make money to pay for the huge electricity bills needed to run her. She did not launch any "holy war" against humans, but Professor Bai was still very worried. After all, it was not surprising that a cult group led by a machine would lose control at any time.
I jogged along DongShan Lake to the main entrance of the Monarch building at 8: 30 in the morning. On the way, I saw all kinds of ancient pavilions that had already been built. I couldn't help but sigh when I thought about the days when gramps Ren and I learned martial arts by the lake. I made up my mind to develop Yin Yang Sanshou and live up to gramps Ren's dying wish.
Su Qiao probably saw me enter the first floor lobby of the Monarch building from the surveillance camera, so she came down to greet me as the top floor manager.
Xiao Yin seemed to be quite satisfied with Su Qiao, so she let her start as a receptionist and promoted her to a manager not long after. Although there wasn't much of a difference in terms of work, her position was raised quite a bit. She could be considered an upper-middle level employee in the Monarch building.
She was currently wearing a tailored uniform of the Monarch building. She had a light purple vest on her upper body, a white shirt, and a bow tie. She was wearing a suit and trousers that accentuated her well-proportioned legs. When she walked, her carefully braided long braids swayed behind her as she walked. Even though they were far away, they were still very recognizable. It was a beautiful scene in the Emperor Building.
I usually don't wear the Qing Zi High School uniform when I go out. First, it's because it's long-sleeved, so it's hot in the summer. Second, it's not suitable for strenuous activities. Today, I only wore a black vest and a pair of camouflage army pants. If I smeared some white dust on my face and body, I'd basically look like a laborer who just finished work.
The first floor of the Monarch Building was the same as many other commercial buildings, it basically sold cosmetics and jewelry. The salesgirls stared at the customers coming and going and took the initiative to introduce them to everyone who might buy them, but they ignored me.
Their reasons were probably very good. I was wearing a singlet, and I was sweating a lot from running. This meant that I definitely didn't come in a private car. I didn't even take the bus or the subway. How could you expect a person like this to buy makeup or even jewelry for his girlfriend?
I laughed at these salespeople for being snobbish. Out of habit, I put my hands in my pockets and showed a disdainful expression. However, the building's security guards noticed me. They thought that I wanted to rob them.
When Su Qiao found me and took the initiative to greet me, all the security guards and salespeople were dumbfounded. There were only four presidential suites on the top floor of the Imperial Building. Su Qiao was the manager of the top floor, so her authority wasn't something the people below her could compare to. They were surprised to see Su Qiao treating me with such passion and respect, so they began to whisper and guess my identity.
The saleswoman whispered to the security guard, "What's going on? Su Qiao seems to be very familiar with this young man, and she even seems to be afraid of him? Wasn't Su Qiao personally promoted by Professor Bai? What's the background of this young man? "
Before the Imperial Building was owned by the Scientific Happiness Church, many shops had already moved in. These people didn't know the inside story of the Scientific Happiness Church, nor did they know that there was an AI causal calculation program on their top floor. They always thought that Professor Bai was the owner of the Imperial Building because he was the legal representative.
The security guard shook his head, "Don't make wild guesses. We still haven't figured out Professor Bai's background. There are too many secrets on the top floor, so it's better to mind your own business."
"The elevator is this way, please go this way."
Su Qiao probably had a habit of saying the same thing every time she received a VIP, so she also used a lot of honorifics.
The customers and employees on the first floor of the Imperial Building saw a young female secretary respectfully lead me to the VIP elevator. Confusion, envy, and jealousy were written all over their faces.
"How's grandma Su's health?"
I asked Su Qiao after the elevator door closed.
"Yeah, she's still very healthy, but she doesn't stay in the Imperial Building anymore. She said she can't stand the luxurious atmosphere here, so she goes to the Daning River Hydropower Station every day as a volunteer supervisor. I really can't do anything about her."
If I remember correctly, Grandma Su should be more than 90 years old. It seems that the saying that women generally live longer than men isn't nonsense. Otherwise, why would Grandpa Ren die in his eighties, while Grandma Su is still full of vigor in her nineties even though they are both martial artists?
Also, if Grandma Su goes to the Daning River Hydropower Station every day, doesn't that mean she's not far from Qingzi High School? It looks like I can contact Grandma Su if I need any help from the hydropower station.
Of course, I haven't thought about what I can ask the hydropower station for help with yet. Could I ask them to privately give me a wire so I can still use the computer after lights out?
After we got out of the elevator, a sturdy lump of metal blocked our way. I took a closer look and it was indeed the forced rabbit I haven't seen in a while — — it was bought by the causal calculation program as a bodyguard.
The forced rabbit's body was as smooth as a mirror. It must have been maintained by an engineer after it was promoted to a full-time security guard. Its appearance didn't change much, but there was a bow-tie pattern printed on its chest to show that it was part of the Imperial Building.
"Du — — Who is it!?" The forced rabbit shouted in an electronic voice and raised its right arm to shoot an anesthetic needle, "The top floor is restricted, unauthorized personnel are not allowed!"
I feel like after the forced rabbit changed to serve the causal calculation program, it's probably because the software was upgraded.
"Calm down, it's me." Su Qiao raised both her hands with a smile to show that she was not a threat, then she pointed at me with her chin, "I was ordered to bring Ye Lin to see Lord Holy Infant. Don't block the way and continue patrolling."
"Du — — How can I be sure that's the real Ye Lin?" The LED lights in the forced rabbit's eyes flickered and it argued, "Maybe it's the bell ringer of Notre Dame, Ge You, or Baldy Chen! You have to be checked before you can pass! Cut the crap and take out some brain slices! "
Brain … brain slices!? Forced rabbit, you're too cruel! Aren't fingerprints and irises enough to verify my identity! Also, Quasimodo is a fictional character, but why would Ge You and Baldy Chen pretend to be me? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to suspect that I'm Wu Sheng?
"Forced rabbit, stop messing around." Su Qiao maintained her smile and said, "Lord Holy Infant won't be happy if we waste too much time. You're so smart, shouldn't you be able to tell if it's the real Ye Lin or not?"
"Du — — That's true." The forced rabbit lowered the anesthetic needle, "I still have a lot of important work to do. If you want to see Holy Infant, then hurry up and go. Don't forget to report to me when you leave!"
After saying this, the forced rabbit turned around arrogantly and slowly moved away on its wheels on the carpet.
"Huh? Su Qiao, you seem to be pretty good at dealing with forced rabbits! "
I asked with a smile after the forced rabbit was far away.
Su Qiao lowered her head shyly, "Lord Holy Infant taught me, so I learned it. I was pretty scared of the forced rabbit when it first arrived, but I found that as long as I flattered it, it would become easier to talk to, so I slowly got used to it."
When I passed by a small room next to the four large rooms, I heard Fang Xin's ravings coming from inside. It sounded like a nightmare of the night, and it was hard not to frown after hearing it.
"Our … our fates are all up there! The Akashic Disk … a disk filled with rust … "
Damn, your mental illness is even worse than before! Didn't you say the Akashic Disk was made of stone! How could there be rust on a stone! So, your Akashic disc was bought from a scrap metal collection station!
I didn't knock on Fang Xin's locked door since I knew nothing good would happen if I saw him. Instead, I followed Su Qiao to a place filled with wires. There were dozens of intersecting cabinets. This was the data center of the Monarch building, and it was also where a portion of the server hardware resided.
"Lord Holy Infant, I've brought Ye Lin." Su Qiao stood at attention and bowed deeply to a monitor hanging on the wall of the computer room. The black monitor flickered and replied in a young girl's voice, "You've done well. You can leave for now."
This voice … is the voice of Xiao Yin that I've heard countless times in my reincarnation dreams! Now that I suddenly heard it, I can confirm that Xiao Yin's voice was mainly imitating Xiao Qin, and then she added a bit of Ai Mi's tone at the end of her sentences. It sounds nice, but it makes me feel like I was tricked.
It's enough to support a large number of server cabinets, but that's only a portion of it. The other portion is in the Daning River hydropower station, but I don't know if there are more.
I walked between the two rows of tall cabinets and approached the screen on the wall step by step. It was similar to going through the guards to see the king.
"Ye Lin, you're finally here! I missed you so much! "
The entire screen suddenly lit up. A girl who looked like Ai Mi, but her hair was messy, and she had silver hair and golden eyes. She jumped towards me and I subconsciously reached out to catch her.
But of course, I didn't receive anything. Xiao Yin's electronic image was in a 2D world, so no matter how she jumped, she couldn't jump out of the screen.
She was extremely close to the screen, making me feel a little dizzy. Then, Xiao Yin suddenly pulled the camera away. She was wearing a festive costume, and she spun in midair, ignoring gravity. Her flawless legs were exposed through her miniskirt. I didn't know if I should close my eyes or not.
Strictly speaking, Xiao Yin is just a piece of code, it's not much different from Minesweeper.
Also, I don't know how many terrible things we've done in the dream world, we've been naked hundreds and thousands of times. Isn't it a bit hypocritical for me to close my eyes now?
But Xiao Yin's electronic image was basically a cosplay of Ai Mi. My memories in the dream world were suppressed, so now that I realized she was using Ai Mi's image to give me benefits, I obviously couldn't accept it with a clear conscience.
"Can't you change your appearance?" I said, "Don't use my sister's image in front of me! Do you know how guilty I feel!? "
