Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 200: Observations in the Library

 

When Dennis reached the first floor, he noticed that there were more third-class citizens here, and their clothes were much more respectable than his. However, the decor on this level was not as exquisite as the one upstairs.

The shelves were covered in dust, and all the windows and doors around were open. Vehicles and pedestrians passed by at all times, making it impossible to concentrate.

In A-series rules, there was a rule that lower-class citizens could not gather in enclosed spaces, so the first floor was designed to be semi-open.

Dennis took a closer look at the clothing of these third-class citizens. They all wore special badges, each representing the name of a first-class citizen.

This was stipulated in C-series rules.

Once you became a first-class citizen, you had the right to employ third-class citizens as your servants, but you were also responsible for their food, clothing, shelter, and even their sentences.

Those badges were proof of their servant status.

The janitors on the first floor did their cleaning perfunctorily, and the second-class citizens hardly ever came here to organize the books, so the task of tidying up the books also fell to the janitors.

The books on the shelves were misaligned and the pages were worn and dirty, yet many people still came to borrow them back and forth.

Dennis randomly picked up a book and flipped through it.

The books repeatedly mentioned a person named Constantine.

He was a billionaire whose family's daily income was equivalent to the whole Wapeng's monthly fiscal revenue in the past.

The book said he started by mining and set up an investment company. During the economic depression, Constantine decisively invested all his wealth in the development of intelligent robots.

Today, all of the Wapeng's intelligent robots were researched by Constantine.

The success of smart technology allowed Constantine to ascend to the throne, and he established a comprehensive legal system and citizen hierarchy system, which completely eliminated war, greed, and selfishness in the Wapeng. After his death, he was revered as a deity.

Then everyone dedicated themselves to the Wapeng and worked together for a better future.

"What is this nonsense?"

Dennis frowned and shoved the book back into the shelf.

The entire book glorified the achievements of Constantine alone, without mentioning anyone else.

Who were the engineers who wrote the A.I algorithms?

Who were the designers of the robots?

Was Constantine alone worth all the designers, developers, and manufacturers' efforts just because he provided the funding? Couldn’t they also have a place in history?

As for that so-called citizen hierarchy system, isn't it just a tool for rulers to exploit and fool the lower-class citizens?

Dennis shook his head and continued browsing other shelves.

Most of the rest were novels, mostly about romance or fantasy adventures, or business stories starring Constantine as the protagonist.

Or it was some gossip about Constantine. Many people said that Constantine particularly loved stories, so he greatly encouraged everyone to write novels, saying, "Liking stories is an instinct carved into human genes."

Dennis felt that this was the only correct thing Constantine had ever said.

Because, the writing style of many novels in the library was very captivating. Dennis stood by the shelves reading, not even realizing he was hungry.

Ding-a-ling—

A clear bell rang from outside.

"Time to close, everyone leave."

A second-class citizen walked to the door, ringing a bell loudly, urging everyone to leave.

Dennis glanced at the clock on the wall, surprised it was already 9 p.m. He reluctantly put down the novel in his hands and walked towards the door.

There was a small table by the door with a notebook on it for readers to leave comments. Dennis curiously picked it up and flipped through it.

There wasn't a single message in the suggestion notebook.

Dennis only saw one line of handwritten text on the title page.

"Believe in the power of words."

...

Today, Gu Yi finished work a bit early, leaving the mine at six in the evening.

The supervisor urged them to leave quickly, even forbidding them to dine in the staff canteen.

Gu Yi took some biscuits out of his pocket for dinner, which he had brought from Er Gou the night before.

Crunch, crunch—

As Gu Yi chewed on the biscuits, he happened to see a car passing by the space jump station. The car must have been customized, with a roof half as high as usual and very wide doors, big enough for two people to walk through side by side.

The car stopped at the main gate.

A very fat man emerged from the car, barely fitting sideways through the wide door. The fat man was over two meters tall, and each step he took made the floor shake.

Gu Yi craned his neck to take a look at the fat man.

"It's actually Da Luoshan?"

In the previous dungeon, Gu Yi had once killed the mirror image of La Luoshan in a dream simulation, but the real La Luoshan turned out to be even taller than in the dream simulation.

"Interesting..."

Recalling the early end of the workday, Gu Yi sensed something unusual and quickly closed his eyes.

(The deduction begins!)

(You walk along the base of the wall, and Da Luoshan's bodyguard glares at you.)

(Bodyguard: Get lost.)

(The bodyguards are very alert; once you get closer than ten meters, they come forward to drive you away.)

(Da Luoshan doesn't even glance at you; he stands by the car resting for a moment, then walks into the house and chats with the supervisor alone.)

(The supervisor's rank is clearly not as high as Da Luoshan's, always nodding and bowing like a servile dog)

(The bodyguard comes up and pushes you away.)

(You are too far away to see Da Luoshan anymore.)

(You take a detour, climb up to the wall base, the huge helmet making you somewhat conspicuous.)

(Just as you climb to the top of the wall, the bodyguard spots you.)

(They shout loudly and call the nearby police robots.)

(You are caught by the robots.)

(You cannot break free.)

(You terminate the deduction!)

"Hmm..."

Gu Yi furrowed his brows.

These bodyguards were watching too closely; I really couldn't handle them on my own.

If I use my skill to hypnotize them, it would only take three minutes before the nearby police robots detected me, and then I would still be unable to eavesdrop.

I should try another method.

(The deduction begins!)

(You hide in the space jump station in advance.)

(The supervisor sees you, curses, and kicks you out.)

(Da Luoshan happens to come in; he glances at you and slaps your face.)

(You feel dizzy.)

(When you wake up again, you find yourself lying in the casino, with a doctor treating you.)

(You terminate the deduction.)

As expected, Da Luoshan's combat power wasn't reduced; just a light slap from him could knock him unconscious.

The supervisor was always waiting by the door; if he so much as showed his head a little, he would be spotted by the supervisor.

Was there any way to sneak in under the eyes of so many people?

Gu Yi touched his nose and began to strategize again.

(The deduction begins!)

(You crouch by the door, listening to the supervisor's footsteps; he is about four meters from the door.)

(There is a fish tank in the middle of the hall. If you can fall behind the fish tank within one second, you can hide in the supervisor's blind spot, thus sneakily avoiding him unnoticed.)

(You use psychological suggestion on yourself to stimulate your body's potential.)

(You quickly rush in.)
