Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 123: Universal Dictionary

Chapter 123: Universal Dictionary

"I was just trash-talking online, how did that endanger the safety of adventurers?"

Slap!

Ah Jian slapped Blondie across the face.

Blondie saw stars, his back molars even felt loose.

Ah Jian cocked his gun, the muzzle pressed against Blondie's head, "I don’t have time for your nonsense. The barrage bot was uploaded to the internet by you, right? Judging by your appearance, you're just a high schooler. How did you manage to develop this kind of software?"

Yesterday, Ah Jian brought He Qiangqiang's computer to the strategy team.

The barrage feature in the "Weird World" contains a mysterious power, so humans have not yet managed to block these comments. Just finding the method to locate the users who post the barrage took humans nearly three years to research.

However.

The "Barrage bot" on He Qiangqiang’s computer possesses a certain mysterious property, and its technology surpasses the current level of human computer science.

It was obviously software developed by the fanatics using the weird power.

"You...you...you dare to kill me!"

Bang!

Ah Jian pulled the trigger, shooting through Blondie's thigh.

"Ah Jian, have you lost your mind?"

"This bullet is mercury-tipped!"

His teammates looked at Ah Jian in shock.

A mercury-tipped bullet could kill even a weird creature, let alone a regular human.

"Ah-ah—"

Blondie, clutching his thigh, fell to the ground.

The team members, alarmed, rushed forward, but Ah Jian, his eyes bloodshot, bellowed, "Stay back! I'll handle this."

Ah Jian’s usual authority held sway, and everyone remained silent on the sidelines.

"Ah—help!"

Blondie wailed in pain. Ah Jian knelt down, once again pressing the gun to Blondie’s head.

"You heard earlier, right? The bullet I used is mercury-tipped. Now, mercury is flowing through your veins. If you don't get to a hospital soon, you'll be dead within half an hour.

I don't know what those people promised you, probably some nonsense about immortality. But if you don’t speak now, you'll die immediately."

Tears streaming down his face, Blondie stuttered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll tell you everything.

I'm a student at Xi Shan High School. I met the fanatics at the Pony Beef Noodle shop behind the school. They told me that as long as I spread this barrage bot online, I could make a lot of money."

"They didn't promise me immortality, nor did they grant me any weird powers. They were just afraid you agents would trace it back to me.

I was simply greedy, and I didn't want to join any fanatic organization."

"How do you contact them?"

"After they gave me the barrage bot, they disappeared. I don't know where they are."

Ah Jian released Blondie and walked back to his car.

"Brother Jian, where are you going?"

"To Xi Shan High School."

"What about this kid?"

"Two of you, take him to the hospital. I'll go to Xi Shan High School to investigate on my own." Ah Jian started the car, "Before I shot him, I had changed the bullets. It was just a regular bullet, not mercury-tipped. He'll only have a minor injury."

Ah Jian drove off with two other team members.

The two remaining agents looked at each other, hoisted the injured Blondie, and got into the second car.

"Why was Brother Jian so irritable today? He's usually the most disciplined person."

"Do you know about Xi Shan High School?"

"Um..." the agent checked his phone, "The list of suspicious locations from the Team Leader included this school. There have been weird incidents in it related to the weird world. It might be a real-life reflection of the current mission... but isn't that outside our jurisdiction?"

"Do you know where Ah Jian's younger sister once studied?"

"Xi Shan High School?" The agent paused, "Wait, Brother Jian had a sister?"

"He used to."

...

In the Weird World.

Gu Yi returned to his room with a dictionary.

Chen Zeyu was engrossed in his phone, not showing any curiosity about what Gu Yi was holding and just continued staring at the screen.

Feeling the atmosphere a bit awkward, Gu Yi initiated a conversation, "The library will open soon, are you going?"

"Um..." Chen Zeyu didn't even look up, "Remember to buy some pens from the vending machine on the first floor. We have an exam tomorrow."

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Gu Yi nodded and took out his fountain pen.

At this point, there was only a tiny bit of ink left in the pen.

Instead of rushing downstairs to buy a new one, he sat on the bed and opened the dictionary he had just obtained.

"Congratulations on obtaining the special plot item [Universal Dictionary]."

"Your spiritual power limit has already reached 100. After half an hour of reading, you will remember all the contents of this dictionary."

Gu Yi blinked and quickly flipped through the dictionary.

Many books in Library's Section C were written in unfamiliar scripts. Clearly, this Universal Dictionary was the tool to decode those books.

Half an hour later, Gu Yi indeed grasped all the contents of the dictionary. He casually set it aside and lay on his bed to rest and recover his spirits.

In his drowsiness, Gu Yi once again heard the shouts and insults of the barrage.

He got up from his bed and looked out the door.

Students were gradually leaving the dormitory and heading downstairs, as the void passage to the library opened once more.

"Hmm... I wonder how these trolls will mock me today."

Gu Yi widened his eyes and took a closer look at the barrage in front of him.

"Sleep, sleep, lazybones. It'd be better if you just died from laziness."

"So boring."

"Just sleep to death."

Scratching his head, Gu Yi noticed that today's trolls seemed to have weakened a bit. Their comments now felt more like a girlfriend playfully teasing her boyfriend.

However, as usual, Gu Yi used his skills to block the barrage in front of him.

On the first floor, Gu Yi bought an almond drink, a royal ration, and a brand-new fountain pen from the vending machine.

The royal ration was a white, jelly-like substance. It tasted pretty good, and a single bite could fill one's stomach. However, it was quite addictive. Fortunately, Gu Yi's strong mental power was enough to suppress the urge to overeat.

After satisfying his hunger and thirst, Gu Yi followed the crowd to the library.

He wanted to continue working there, but the librarian declined his request.

"We have enough staff now; we're not hiring."

"But I'm afraid I won't have enough credits. Can't I earn them in some other way?"

"The sports hall next door is hiring. Tomorrow afternoon, the void passage to the sports hall will open. You can ask your PE teacher."

"Thank you."

"Be careful," the librarian tapped the table, "Someone complained about you yesterday. They said you spoke too loudly and often slammed your pen on the table. The library is a place for everyone to read and study in peace, not for you to play percussion."

"Sorry."

Gu Yi nodded, turned, and left the librarian's office. Without any hesitation, he headed straight to the Section C of the library.
