Zhou Yi said, "We reviewed the consciousness records of every current Bone Man in the Great Holy Spirit, and used the process of elimination to sort them out."
"To find a specific target from countless consciousness fragments, it requires super engineering that could take hundreds of years at a moment's notice."
"Because after an individual dies, consciousness becomes highly fragmented and reorganizes before entering a new consciousness entity."
"The agent only needs to strip a portion of its own consciousness fragments to forge a result identical to death. Once death occurs, those records will quickly vanish if not specifically handled and stored long-term by the Dream Demon."
"Therefore, for the above reasons, Mr. Zhou, we cannot determine the identity of the agent."
The Great Dream Demon explained the situation.
Then he switched his tone: "But Verne's identity has been confirmed. Tracing backward based on existing identities is where our expertise lies."
Zhou Yi smiled confidently: "The records show that Verne is currently 72 years old, born from the Dead Sea."
"But we searched a large number of related consciousness fragments, after technical processing by the weaving people... through the Great Holy Spirit, we locked onto a Bone Man named Li He."
"This Bone Man was a craftsman who opened a small car repair shop in Jin City and died in a maritime accident while piloting a small enhanced ship, aged 41 at the time of death. The place of death was less than ten kilometers from where Verne was born."
"And this Li He is quite interesting too."
Zhou Yi continued, "Rewind further, he was an adopted son of a Bone Man merchant named Lu Jiu, who was born on a Floating Island."
"We investigated that Floating Island. A group of Bone Men used to live there, but all perished because a Heavenly People Gem fell on the island... inside that Heavenly Gem was a human woman who had been used as an experimental subject."
Zhou Yi was stunned upon hearing this.
Could it be...
Zhou Yi whispered softly: "At that time, there were two survivors on that Floating Island. We found a small amount of remaining consciousness fragments, and finally confirmed it. The first was Wu Yi, who had been imprisoned for many years by United City and now works at your company."
"The second was Lu Jiu."
"So, here's the conclusion."
"This Seventh Agent is Lu Jiu, who was hit by the Heavenly Gem at the time and was taken away to be selected as an agent, then lived under the identity of Li He, and later transformed into the present Verne."
Zhou Yi was shocked.
This Verne turned out to be a fellow survivor of Wu Yi.
He quickly called for the Land Ministry's minister.
The Bone Man wearing a designer watch heard about Lu Jiu and was momentarily stunned, his jaw dropped wide open.
"Unexpectedly... really... there are other survivors! There are still living Bone Men on the island!"
He immediately got excited: "Chairman, we have Lu Jiu on our island."
"I still remember that guy; he was very clever and spirited. No wonder I didn't find him when collecting the wreckage. I thought the Floating Island got hit by ice and he got smashed into pieces into the Dead Sea."
"Turns out he didn't die and became an agent!"
Indeed, there was such a person.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel puzzled: "So, before Lu Jiu, there were no Bone Man agents, nor was there the Seventh sequence. What caused the Bone Man group to be noticed by the Heavenly People?"
Zhou Yi said, "Mr. Zhou, I do know a bit. The ranking is actually based on risk degree."
Zhou Yi explained: "The First Agent manages mechanical lifeforms. This group is also considered the most dangerous and most closely monitored by the Heavenly People."
"The Second Agent corresponds to the sea people group, which is actually an enhanced version of humans. Sea people can survive in the Dead Sea environment and can live almost anywhere in this world."
"They possess human intelligence, cleverness, and collaboration, along with quite good life strength. The whole group is highly independent, and they are brave and combative. Though fewer in number than humans, they are rather more dangerous."
"The Third Agent corresponds to ordinary humans... and so on."
"The Seventh Agent corresponds to the Bone Man group, indicating that the Bone Man group itself has the lowest risk, hence chosen to maintain and operate 404 City."
Zhou Yi nodded slowly.
So that's how it is.
"The Bone Man group might also have the weakest resistance against the Heavenly People."
Zhou Yi said: "That's also why the Seventh Agent has never been replaced, not only overseeing the entire Bone Man group but also maintaining the operation of 404 City."
"Now, Verne is hiding in 404 City, very alert, it would be difficult to catch him in a short time... unless we forcibly breach 404 City... but doing so would be too risky and may attract the attention of the Supervisor or even the Heavenly People."
Zhou Yi agreed with this statement.
404 City is still unclear, breaching forcibly carries risks.
We'll have to wait patiently for the right opportunity.
At least for now, we have identified the identity of the Seventh Agent, which is considered a significant progress.
At this moment.
Ding You Jun, who was operating the Evil Brain Motor nearby, suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou, can I release the Dream Demons now?"
He seemed to have had enough fun.
Finally remembered the main task at hand.
Zhou Yi laughed and said: "Of course."
Ding You Jun swiped the screen, and all the little ghost-like Dream Demons flew out as soon as they were released.
But when it came to the last one, [Tumbleweed], no matter how hard he swiped, he could not move it out of the tool bar.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Yi frowned and looked towards Da Vinci beside him: "Another bug?"
"This..."
Da Vinci couldn't answer immediately: "Chairman, there might be an unknown issue that our current technology hasn't detected... I'll get Mr. Turing to take a look."
Soon.
Electrician Ant Turing brought a group of Electrician Ant sub-machines and they connected various devices, conducted a comprehensive inspection of the Evil Brain Motor.
Afterward, it said: "The equipment itself is fine, all performance indicators are normal. We linked it to other Evil Brain Motors and conducted a network test. Confirmed that there is no fault at the device end."
Dong used consciousness synchronization to say: "Mr. Zhou, I checked again on my side. The Usurper Worm didn't take any special actions, this seems to be some special situation with that Dream Demon; it doesn't want to leave here."
Zhou Yi instructed Canghai to conduct an internal examination.
Soon.
Canghai emerged from the screen, consciousness synchronized: "Chairman, the situation is a bit special..."
"That Dream Demon Tumbleweed has completely merged into the Evil Brain."
"..."
Zhou Yi's smile froze.
"Why did this happen?"
"It's not our fault; it's that Tumbleweed went mad for some unknown reason... it connected itself to the Evil Brain through consciousness fragments, probably originally trying to save itself by merging with the Evil Brain consciousness entity, to avoid being dismantled and destroyed."
"But the current situation is that it has become a part of the Evil Brain."
Zhou Yi was somewhat helpless.
Initially coming over to showcase the high-tech of the Evil Brain, but a series of accidents occurred.
Nevertheless, there was no choice now.
Zhou Yi informed Ding You Jun of the actual situation.
The old Dream Demon listened with eyes glowing, full of praise: "Good, well done, worthy of being my student, Tumbleweed did a great job!"
"Details cannot be obtained from the outside of the Evil Brain."
"You must enter inside, become one with the Evil Brain to understand it!"
"Well done!"
"In terms of technology, this is the kind of recklessness and life-risking determination we need!"
"Excellent, now the Dream Demons can finally understand how the Evil Brain operates... even if Tumbleweed dies, its technology will be immortalized in the history of the Dream Demon Clan!"
Zhou Yi: "..."
One can only say that this tech fanatic is indeed a bit too extreme.
