Chapter 497: Chapter 81 Huang Que’s Master Plan_3 Chapter 497: Chapter 81 Huang Que’s Master Plan_3 However, he never anticipated this.

Even after activating VV and having it rapidly grow and learn, even after completely uncovering Kevin Walker’s attack patterns on China’s cyber network...

But still!

The events of the fourth dreamland at night showed no change whatsoever!

He was still surrounded and stunned by soldiers;

The mysterious old man’s lines remained unchanged;

600 years of history unfolded without a ripple;

Space-Time Butterfly Effect did not occur at all!

At that moment, he felt perplexed.

He also thought that since he had been targeted by the enemy, VV must have already been discovered and then eliminated.

...

It’s just...

who could have imagined that this elimination would come so swiftly!

Clearly, in the current era, VV was indeed invincible.

Even Kevin Walker had to crouch down like a scared turtle, playing hide-and-seek before it.

So who could possibly destroy it?

Who could instantly annihilate it?

Now, with hindsight like Zhuge Liang, the logic behind the fourth dreamland becomes clear—

[It was precisely because after VV was activated, it didn’t do anything significant, played no crucial role, and was eliminated before it even had a chance to flex its muscles.

As a result, the tiny Space-Time Butterfly Effect it generated...

didn’t even break through Space-Time Elasticity, let alone induce Temporal Flux, changing the fourth dreamland.]

His thoughts, in an instant, became clear.

Think about it carefully.

Super Artificial Intelligence VV, was undoubtedly powerful,

but in reality, in the half-year since he activated it, it had almost done nothing but play the drama queen, spit wisecracks, and never involved itself in any event that could influence space-time...

Space-Time Particles?

Those were discovered by Liu Feng.

The right to use Heaven’s Eye?

That was something he obtained in exchange for the Cold Fusion Manuscript.

The hacking competition champion?

It’s just that.

These conclusions and the logic behind them, all stem from reversing the situation based on today’s outcome of VV’s instant kill.

If one were to solve the puzzle from a forward perspective,

given those earlier clues, who could have predicted that VV would be killed today, at this very moment?

He still couldn’t understand it.

In this world, who else could kill VV?

“What else do you know?”

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at Huang Que:

“Now that it’s come to this, spill what you know, stop speaking in riddles.”

“About VV, if you really wanted to remind me, you could have done so easily.

But in reality, you were [misleading] me.”

“When Liu Feng first came to the base, you told me that VV could operate the Mechanical Arm.

You did say that, but in reality, VV has never been your trump card in your eyes, but an expendable pawn.

You had planned from the beginning to have Gao Yang operate the Mechanical Arm...

and you also knew that VV would be of no help in this mission.

Gao Yang is the real trump card!”

Lin Xian’s thoughts flowed more smoothly:

“Early on, you asked if Liu Feng and I had any friends, saying trustworthy friends could be called over to join the Space-Time Particle Capturing Plan.

I thought it was just talk, but it was actually your [leading]...

You knew about the relationship between Gao Yang and me, and his gaming talent.”

“So, all of this, everything up until now, is all part of your grand scheme!

From the moment you arrived at East Sea University’s lab, [guiding] Liu Feng, up to all the later events, we’ve all become pawns in your game.”

He let out a breath through his nose, paused a moment, and said softly:

“Regarding VV, I don’t blame you.

He was my friend; I should have been responsible for him.

I failed to notice that his death was a predetermined piece of history; it’s my responsibility and I won’t hold it against you.”

“But given the situation we are in now, floating in space 240 kilometers from Earth, I hope you will be straightforward with us, tell us all the truth you can, let me know what other important matters you are aware of.”

...

Huang Que silently tipped her toes.

In the low-gravity environment, she pressed her body against the back wall of the cabin.
