"Good to know. You bunch of guys, stop daydreaming all the time. Have you finished your projects? Then come here."
A middle-aged man sternly criticized, "I remember this month is Safety Month, right? So many of you have been deceived. I hereby declare that your research group's safety performance for this month is unsatisfactory. I will report this to Station Master Aistar later."
"Ah, no!!"
The clerks groaned in pain, and after handing over the task of communicating with them to others, the middle-aged man turned to Bai Zhi and respectfully said:
"Lady Baizhi, we meet again. We have received orders from Lord Black Tower to take you to the data storage room of the abandoned project."
This is the security supervisor who came to greet Bai Zhi earlier.
"It's okay, but I can't wait to turn that fraudster into a meat patty!"
Bai Zhi clenched her fists and said with great displeasure, "It's one thing to cheat people out of money, but to cheat them out of their feelings as well, and to cheat both men and women."
Even more outrageous is the claim that the male clerk was added to the harem.
"Ahem... Lady Baizhi, when the antimatter legion came last time, the containment system in our space station failed, so a number of artifacts and contained creatures escaped or were lost."
"Among them, there is a creature called the Alien Drill, which is good at changing its appearance and disguising itself as other people."
"Moreover, this creature is quite intelligent and seems to have acquired some lost treasure. We've been completely fooled by this beast these past few days."
At this point, the security supervisor looked indignant, clearly also very unhappy with the escaped containment object.
"Today, this beast actually dared to impersonate you and deceive people everywhere. He's incredibly audacious. Don't worry, after we send you to the data storage room, I'll have my men check everyone one by one to find out who this guy is."
After hearing the security supervisor's words, Bai Zhi suddenly realized that it was an alien water demon.
Long-forgotten memories suddenly came flooding back. She remembered that it was a small branch of the Black Tower Space Station, and these alien water monsters would transform into personnel from various space stations and cause trouble everywhere.
Finally, there seem to be two memorable scenes featuring the main characters.
But she really couldn't remember some of the specifics.
Including where exactly this alien water demon is hiding, and whether there are any other shady dealings involved.
"Do you need me to help you look for it?"
"No need, no need. Although this alien water demon is good at transformation and has a very high intelligence, its combat power is not high. You don't need to take action."
"Our security department still needs to prove its worth."
Chapter 499 The Black Tower's Memory Capture Plan
"Lady Baizhi, the data storage room is just ahead. We'll stand guard at the door. You can swipe your card to go in and retrieve the data yourself."
Standing before a heavy door, the security supervisor spoke with a smile.
"Row."
Bai Zhi nodded, then took out the card that Hei Ta had given her and swiped it on the card reader at the door.
"drop"
The card reader made a sound, and then the door opened.
However, the figure that appeared inside surprised Bai Zhi; there was even a black tower puppet standing there.
"They're so slow, dawdling all the time," the Black Tower doll muttered as it opened its eyes.
"It's already running?"
Bai Zhi stepped forward, and the door behind her suddenly closed.
"Oh, well, what else? Although this is a storage place for abandoned project data, many things here still have considerable value to most people."
Black Tower casually picked up a data storage device. "For example, this one. Research on memetic life has not been progressing very smoothly. Although I have used some of the results to create some powerful light cones, it is not very meaningful."
"Bai Zhi, are you interested in doing me a favor?"
The black tower doll looked at Bai Zhi and asked somewhat seriously.
"Does the dignified genius Lord Black Tower need my help?" Bai Zhi teased.
"Don't belittle yourself like that. As a hunting envoy, your combat strength is quite formidable among all the envoys."
"Moreover, there are too many beings in this universe who are interested in you, from star gods to meme life forms."
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. "You mean... an incinerator?"
She still remembered the Memory Maker who had infiltrated her side; if it weren't for Nasita, she wouldn't have been able to detect its existence at all.
This thing looks different from the messenger of the Flowing Light Memory Court; it clearly carries some malice.
In the original setting, these extreme memory users would also steal the memories obtained by the Messenger of the Memory Court and then discard those they deemed useless.
"Hmm, it seems you've noticed the existence of that incinerator of memories."
Bai Zhi wasn't stupid. After Black Tower mentioned it and mentioned keywords like "meme life," she vaguely guessed Black Tower's plan.
"Do you intend to... capture the memory-taker?"
Bai Zhi frowned slightly. "Do you have this kind of technology?"
Although the Black Tower is very intelligent, the Memorians, as memetic life forms, are not so easy to capture. The Memorians can basically be considered a special existence transformed by the Star God, just like the Antimatter Legion.
However, it is clear that the level of the Memory Maker is much higher. Even if the Black Tower is a genius, it would probably not be so easy to trap this special life form that was created based on the power of the Star God.
"It is indeed difficult to capture those who remember. I am not particularly skilled in this area, but I know that this Incinerator is a little glutton."
"A mere child from the Vidyadhara Clan on a celestial vessel, who has only lived for a few short years, has already become the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord and received the blessing of the Star God, becoming a Commander."
"Such a legendary experience could probably only be written by novelists, but it actually happened in reality."
"And when faced with such people, do you think those incinerators who are dedicated to collecting the essence of memories and discarding the dross will be able to tolerate it?"
Bai Zhi blinked. "It seems so."
"What do you mean 'seems'? It is. My monitoring system detected that guy's infiltration a long time ago, but I can't capture him. So, I need your help."
"If you can't catch it, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for me."
Black Tower rolled his eyes. "Can you let me finish speaking first?"
"Alright, alright, dear Sister Black Tower, please speak." Bai Zhi simply plopped down on an ergonomic chair next to Black Tower.
Hei Ta rolled his eyes at Bai Zhi, but didn't refute her.
"That guy is most likely trying to steal your memories. We can just turn the tables on him. After he invades your consciousness, you use your consciousness to trap him. I'll then try to use the abandoned technology here to seal him inside the light cone."
"If I come up with anything interesting by then, I'll share it with you, okay?"
"Would they really fall for that? A Memory Master forcibly entering the Commander's mind?"
Bai Zhi felt it was a bit absurd. Even if the form of the Memory Maker was special, trying to steal the memories of a Commander-level person under absolute power was just irrational, wasn't it?
"You think others are too smart. You don't know that a precious memory is extremely valuable, not to mention this kind of incinerator, even in the eyes of Liuguang Yiting, it is highly sought after. They would be willing to gamble on it, even if it means risking their lives."
As Black Tower spoke, he tapped and typed on the control panel.
Bai Zhi touched her chin. After hearing what Hei Ta said, it seemed to be true. People often fail to recognize their own position.
Just like the black swan confidently forcing its way into the Yellow Springs' mind, it almost ended up being roasted as a goose.
Their unique life form and ability to manipulate memories seem to have made the Memory Masters somewhat arrogant.
"However, is it really okay to arrest the incinerators? Although the messengers of the Flowing Light Memory Court look down on the incinerators, in reality, the two factions are just different in their approaches."
Aren't you afraid of stirring up a hornet's nest?
Black Tower smiled slightly, "Of course I've considered what you're saying, but if you steal someone else's memories and get caught, no one can say anything wrong with it."
"Even if someone from the Flowing Light Memory Court comes looking for me, I'm not afraid to argue with them."
Black Tower said confidently, "She is, after all, a Wisdom Envoy. Even if she is wrong, there are few who dare to argue with her, let alone those who are right."
Her life motto is to never forgive when you are in the right.
"That's fine, but how do I lure that incinerator worker?"
"It's very simple. You go with the security supervisor for a tour later and say you want to visit the space station. After a while, you need to rest and sleep."
"Everyone knows that when you are asleep, your mind is most relaxed, which is the perfect time to steal memories."
"The same goes for that incinerator. The other party will most likely take advantage of this opportunity to try to invade your mind and steal your memories. At this time, you just need to trap the other party."
"I don't need to worry about your mental strength, do I?"
Although it was a question, Black Tower wore an expression of certainty, saying that even if the envoy was weak, he was still blessed by the Star God.
As long as one is prepared, it is more than enough to trap the incinerator using one's consciousness space. At that time, one can let them do whatever they want.
"no problem."
Bai Zhi said confidently. Although she was unsure whether her awareness could surpass Huang Quan's level, which was so passive that it almost killed the Black Swan, she was very confident in her talisman.
Chapter 500 The Celestial Resonance Disc
"It seems that Lord Baizhi and Lord Heita had a very pleasant conversation."
As soon as Bai Zhi stepped out the door, the security supervisor came up to flatter her, saying that before the door closed, he saw the Black Tower puppet come to life and talk to Bai Zhi.
"It's alright, just some small talk."
"You're too modest. Oh, by the way, regarding that alien water demon, we've already investigated some things and tentatively determined its location."
“This beast dares to impersonate you and scam people everywhere. Why don’t you come with us? Maybe we can teach him a lesson ourselves.”
While Bai Zhi and Hei Ta were talking, he had his security department search everywhere, using various high-tech instruments to identify the biometrics of everyone. So far, they had scanned 90% of the samples.
The remaining places are all very remote locations.
Through surveillance, they discovered that someone who had been investigated not long ago and was still in the main control module had suddenly appeared there.
Therefore, he could conclude that the alien water demon must be hiding in that section of the cabin.
"That's a good suggestion. Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, sir."
Recalling the plans that Black Tower had told her, Bai Zhi thought that compared to reasons like visiting the space station, this reason of teaching the alien water demon a lesson was a good choice as an appetizer in that plan.
After teaching the fraudsters a lesson, it's perfectly normal to go to sleep feeling refreshed.
At this moment, Bai Zhi felt that faint sense of being watched again.
Pretending to be nonchalant, Bai Zhi glanced at a hidden corner and could see a nearly transparent figure that seemed to be squatting there.
This guy probably thought he wouldn't be discovered because he saw that Nasita wasn't around, which is why he dared to show up again.
"Lady Baizhi, please follow me."
The security supervisor was overjoyed and quickly led the way for Bai Zhi.
As they walked, the security supervisor said, "To be honest, we tried to capture the alien water demon before, but it had a strange object on it that blocked our tranquilizer gun."
"Oh? What kind of strange object is it?" Bai Zhi asked absentmindedly, while sensing the location of the incinerator.
Sure enough, once I started moving, this guy followed suit, step by step.
"We have just tallied up the missing artifacts, and if nothing unexpected happens, they may be the artifact known as the Celestial Sound Recording Disc."
"According to information from those research departments, this strange object seems to retain the divine power of the Order Star God Taiyi, and can withstand some attacks."
Upon hearing the name "Celestial Sound Album," Bai Zhi snapped back to reality. She remembered that this thing was indeed very useful in the simulated universe, essentially an invincible shield.
I wonder if this thing is like a traffic light in real life, where the shield is completely invincible?
"Oh, that is indeed a very useful wonder."
“Who says otherwise? But... Lady Baizhi, do you know that this is actually the wrong usage?”
At this moment, the security supervisor lowered his voice, "There's a rumor about this strange object. Would you be interested in hearing it?"
"Rumors? Tell me more."
Bai Zhi became interested. She vaguely remembered that this thing was an invincible shield, but she didn't pay much attention to its background story.
"Hehe, as you know, since this thing is called the Celestial Sound Recording, it's naturally because the essence of this strange object is a record."
Seeing that Bai Zhi was interested, the security supervisor kept her in suspense.
"Well, then what?"
Bai Zhi followed up with more questions.
