Chapter 742: Chapter 742

In that case, perhaps we can find some breakthroughs.

"Let’s arrange for you to explore the White City. I’ll first send a drone to test it out."

[That’s possible, but I don’t recommend wasting this time. If this is the only current plan, other drone tests are meaningless. Whether or not it alerts the Abnormal Body doesn’t affect the final result. Only by deploying myself can I judge whether to ’return’ based on the actual situation.] Grace said.

Lin Xian was stunned upon hearing this, momentarily shocked by Grace’s analysis.

This rigorous logic left Lin Xian speechless. Indeed, whether the drone alerts the Abnormal Body is not the most important thing. Unless there are other plans, it might be better for Grace to be deployed directly. She would make the next decision based on the actual situation. What Lin Xian was worried about was merely losing an Intelligent Brain.

But without any other plan, he had no choice.

[You can manufacture a certain number of signal relays for me to deploy along the path and maintain signal connectivity with Infinity. I will proceed according to your instructions.]

Hearing Grace’s words, Lin Xian nodded: "I was thinking the same."

With that, he immediately stopped manufacturing ammunition and began creating small signal relays. According to the distance to White City, Lin Xian had to make at least 100 of these, so [Grace] would either use a vehicle or bring a few PX-05 robots for transportation. After some thought, Lin Xian decided on the latter, as it was relatively more flexible.

"Grace, what do you think might be the reason for those two unknown alerts appearing from you?"

In the dark carriage No. 21, Lin Xian was alone, making signal relays. During this process, he also analyzed through the Intelligent Brain why Grace had inexplicably provided him with information before.

[Firstly, to achieve such a program added to my operating system, one must possess management authority above Grace’s original protocol, such as your current management authority over Grace. Thus, if such an alert can be made based on the current situation, I believe there are three possibilities.]

[One, possessing such management authority, they would have some sort of cross-space observation or cross-time capability. From the current superpower demonstrations, the feasibility of time capabilities is smaller, and this poses a time paradox.] The source of thɪs content is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱

[Two, ’Chu Yan’ herself is lying. From the links of consciousness you have experienced with her, she is most likely to have monitoring capabilities over your current state. Additionally, the ’Chu Yan’ holographic facial projection used by Grace is clearly not a coincidence. Overall, ’Chu Yan’ and the Deep Red World must have some special connection.]

[Three, there is a ’monitor’ within the team observing your every move. All of Grace’s commands are initiated by this person.]

Lin Xian’s expression darkened at these words: "The second and third points don’t make sense logically. Chu Yan hasn’t denied all her communications with me. Why would she specifically deny things at the Zero Element Center? Moreover, all the consciousness links happened after I entered into a dream state, while the current situation clearly happened when I was awake, with witnesses."

"The problem with the third point is that it’s the first time I’ve met Grace, and so have others. Only Ding Junyi was with me at the time. She couldn’t have operated on you right under my nose, could she?"

To his surprise, Grace directly responded: [If one has my management authority, they certainly can.]

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this. Ding Junyi?

To be fair, Ding Junyi was wearing the Black Hawk Power Armor at the time, which does have remote intelligence control capabilities. Plus, Ding Junyi was usually in the carriage too, making her one of the people most likely to interact with Grace.

However, upon thinking this through, Lin Xian dismissed the notion.

What could Ding Junyi possibly need to communicate through [Grace]? It doesn’t make sense at all. She knows about all the superpower research and cultivation on the train, including information about the Taboo Items. If she knew something, she could directly tell Lin Xian. Isn’t that contradictory?

The first point is too vague. After much consideration, Lin Xian still sees a big problem with Chu Yan.

First, her appearance at Lin Xian’s Jiang City’s shelter is a glaring suspicion, especially since he could feel a consciousness connection when using the Gravitational Lens. Furthermore, the housekeeper robot from the Deep Red World using ’Chu Yan’s’ face is even stranger. Chu Yan is also evidently aware of this issue. She said her organization is called the North American United Front (NAUF) but hasn’t explained the specific reason for her image in the Deep Red World. She only said he’d understand in the future...

Lin Xian rubbed his brow. Overthinking these matters is a waste of time. He needs to resolve the current predicament. At the very least, Grace’s two ’messages’ from Yijin City showed goodwill. So, Lin Xian should carefully consider the latest piece of information as well.

At this point, Lin Xian picked up the communicator and discussed the plan to dispatch robots along the way to White City for reconnaissance with various teams. Under these circumstances, everyone was at a loss, so Lin Xian’s plan was quickly accepted by all.

"An Intelligent Brain robot leading the track setup, how did you come up with that, Lin?" Shi Deyuan was shocked when he heard: "It’s a method alright; however, setting up dozens of kilometers of track through these rugged mountains isn’t going to be simple."
