Chapter 2, Answers

Inside the belly of the snake, Gu Shen beheld the eyes of the tall lady, which were utterly different from those of an ordinary person. They emitted a red glow, resembling two serpent-like vertical pupils, elongated like swords

She moved her lips, seemingly smiling

Wei Shu's voice echoed in the control room

She gripped the boning knife, and the entire light rail was engulfed by a bone-chilling cold wind.

Line 13 will pass through a long tunnel. He will at least be in the same space as A-009 for ... ... 20 minutes. Nan Jin glanced at her watch, her expression unchanged as she made a cold joke, "By the time I arrive, it should be warm."

... ...

Wei Shuwang looked at Nan Jin and asked, "Is there still a chance for salvation?"

He carefully tucked the ruler into his bosom, hiding it inside the inner side of his garment. When he touched this ruler, an unexpectedly cool sensation made him feel particularly alert

At the same time, a series of black lines also appeared on his head. After enlarging that segment of the surveillance footage, one could vaguely see a boy, approximately seventeen or eighteen years old, running at full speed, managing to board the last train that was supposed to depart before the light rail closed.

This woman is very perceptive

The next moment

This light rail is a long serpent crashing towards the end of the shattered night sky

It last appeared on the Light Rail Line 13, and the final segment of the journey was very long, making it impossible to disembark. The woman in the trench coat glanced at the time and softly said, "If we take a shortcut, we might be able to intercept it at the tunnel exit"

The train is jolting

In the dim, intense light, Gu Shen fixed his gaze on the old newspaper stained with blood at the lady's feet. He attempted to discern the contents of the newspaper, but the light was too dim to see clearly

When Gu Shen mentioned this name, Madam Gao's body clearly trembled

Wei Shu's voice rang out, each word pronounced clearly, devoid of emotion

The lady's expression softened as she extended a hand, seemingly intending to help Gu Shen up, but a ruler slipped out from her sleeve, which was the silver measuring stick she had previously gestured with.

It is not that A-009 has truly disappeared

After this name is spoken

The flickering lights seemed to have extinguished as well

Wei Shushi truly cannot fully trust this report

The large screen dimmed, revealing layers of waves sweeping and washing over the waiting and book images. The loading effect in the lower right corner was quite retro. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that it depicted a blurred girl, pieced together from mosaics, running in place on the beach, stepping on grains of sand

Gu Shen spoke in an attempt to calm the other party while slowly crouching down, raising his head to look up at the tall woman in the cramped space. This statement seemed to provoke her, as the smile at the corner of the woman's lips vanished in an instant, and her gaze turned as cold as that of a snake

She paused for a moment and continued to politely inquire, "So... why is that?"

Immediately following, a second knife was inserted into the top of the carriage, the blade rotating as if cutting through paper, causing a large piece of iron sheet from the top of the carriage to fall off, and a red-haired woman clad in a long trench coat descended with a loud crash onto the iron sheet

Who is this unfortunate person

Indeed, Gu Shen found the "answer"... The lady encouraged him to continue speaking, not to hear the proof process, but to seek a shared aspiration

Yes... it is evident that you have touched upon it

Zoom in again

The lady's voice echoed in the empty light rail carriage

At the entrance of the conference room, a woman with long red hair, dressed in a loose black trench coat, has her hands clasped behind her head as she is winding her long hair.

The gate is broken, A-009 has escaped

The red glow in the serpentine pupils of the tall, elegantly dressed woman flickered faintly.

Gu Shen's expression changed as he heard a muffled sound, as if a heavy object had fallen hard onto the light rail carriage above him, leaving a pair of visible footprints on the surface above his head

Accompanied by a piercing and sharp roar, a long knife penetrated the iron sheet of the carriage at an angle, precisely stabbing into the shoulder of the tall woman in a formal gown, as if it were a nail, firmly pinning the tall woman against one side of the carriage

When the term "deep sea" was mentioned, the responsible person's expression became serious. The urgent report submitted from the rear indicated that the cause of the escape of A-009 was a malfunction in the deep sea operations

Somewhat familiar

Seeing that smile, Gu Shen felt a chill run down his spine. He maintained a relatively safe distance and slowly moved forward, the sense of oppression that enveloped his heart had yet to dissipate.

In the realm of physics, π seems to be a fictional number that does not exist, intangible and even more so, cannot be represented by any scale

His forehead veins bulged, and his fists pressed heavily against the control panel, unable to comprehend: "How could the gate have been breached? With so many guards in the prison, how did A-009 escape?"

scoff

The light rail emerges from the tunnel

Repeat once more, the gate is broken, A-009 has escaped

Alan Turing

Yet even so, I still firmly believe that between 3 and 4, one can touch π

What she wants to hear is merely this person's name

During the gaze, two lines of clear tears slowly flowed from those lifeless pupils

The woman in the trench coat remained silent

Immediately, he composed himself, took a deep breath, and cast aside these distracting thoughts. The most important task at hand was to command the upcoming containment operation. He chose to go all in, as there was no turning back. The containment of A-009 must proceed smoothly tonight in order to minimize the losses

Gu Shen raised his head, his voice somewhat hoarse

Clearly, time is limited

It does not possess the ability of instantaneous movement; it is simply too fast, fast to the extent that... these ordinary workers, if they do not slow down their speed, are completely unable to capture the trajectory of movement

Gu Shen was momentarily taken aback and instinctively reached out to take the ruler

Where has he seen it before

The lighting is dim

She squinted her eyes and glanced back at the boy behind her, who had fallen while clutching his clothes, and reported calmly.

Madam ... ... As for the reasons behind it, you and I both know, do we not?

Thus, he could only remain silent, slowly approaching the woman in the tranquility of silence

The lady cried out in pain, unable to maintain her grip.

Bang

Then... take action! As long as you can stop A-009, I will ensure sufficient support!

The two individuals connected by a ruler separate

Dozens of staff members are each responsible for a screen, with each screen divided into dozens of sections. All surveillance from the gate to the detention city has been retrieved, yet no one has detected any anomalies. After the alarm of the broken gate sounded, A-009 seemed to have vanished without a trace. This surveillance network can capture the slightest movement of a mosquito, yet it fails to detect even a single hair of A-009.

He had no doubt that even saying one wrong word, or even a single character, would trigger the conditions for this woman in a gown to draw her sword

Finally, the room was filled with brilliance, and a clear, melodious gentle voice resonated in the control room

"You want to stop it, just one person?" Wei Shu frowned, "Capturing an A-level fugitive is no small matter. I suggest you seek help from Mr. Tree directly"

However, the wife merely uttered two words softly: "Continue"

It is too late. The teacher is very busy... If you can guarantee support, then I can handle this matter. Nan Jin looked at Wei Shu and coldly asked, "Moreover, can you afford to wait? If we miss this opportunity, the next chance to secure... we won't know when it will be."

The cold wind of the light rail suddenly extinguished

... ...

Wei Shu turned to look behind him: "In any case, it has escaped now. Ms. Nan Jin, you are the officer responsible for escorting A-009, so you should be well aware of the dangers posed by this entity after its escape. We must act quickly to recontain it!"

The current flows gently

Link to the deep sea, open permissions, I need assistance

She is waiting for Wei Shu's instructions

The woman's gaze slowly shifted from one screen to another, simultaneously mapping out a winding and intricate escape route in her mind.

The renowned figure who created the deep-sea network is little known to many, yet he is also a mathematician, and in the realm of mathematics, π can be easily touched within the set of 3 and 4

Gu Shen chuckled softly and said: "Madam... forgive me for being blunt, not everything can be perfectly embodied in a tangible form, but when we touch upon greater realms, what we possess will only be more than we can imagine. Between 3 and 4, there already encompasses infinity."

Do not engage in combat with A-009 on the train, as this is the optimal solution provided by the deep sea

Relocate the battlefield and first rescue the boy named Gu Shen

Because of the "Deep Sea," this vast network that spans and connects the entire Dongzhou has been operating meticulously for over 20 years, flawlessly completing all tasks in the millions of event calculations conducted in the past, with not a single error ever occurring. This time, he is willing to believe that it is a false report from the staff and the library; in fact, there are always false reports every year, which are later confirmed to be human errors.

However, Gu Shen's response followed closely after, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead and his voice trembling, yet at this moment, his consciousness was clearer than ever before

Noticing the change in the light in Nan Jin's eyes, Wei Shu's expression became serious as he raised his hand, making a gesture to signal the operators under him to be quiet and not to disturb Nan Jin's observation

Wei made up his mind, and at the same time felt a sense of relief deep down, fortunately it was Line 13... During this time period, this light rail heading towards the remote suburbs would not have any passengers.

The deep sea has been connected ... ... Serial number V349708069527, it is my pleasure to serve you

Nan Jin gently coiled her long hair

Wei Shu tapped his fingers, patiently waiting

Gu Shen recalled the scene when he first saw the woman; at that time, she was reading a newspaper... her expression was one of rapture and enchantment

The dense mathematical symbols and proof formulas on that newspaper point to the ultimate object of reverence and worship held fervently in the eyes of Lady Gao

She gazed at Gu Shen in astonishment

Wei Shu had long been waiting personally at the control console. The moment he heard about Line 13, he immediately retrieved the surveillance footage from several main roads along the route, slowing it down. Indeed, he saw that ghostly shadow, like a specter... That shadow broke through the gate and, after escaping, fled towards the suburbs of Dateng City.

Her gaze turned pitch black and vacant, while at the same time, dozens of screens and hundreds of monitoring displays emitted light that suddenly appeared to slow down in her eyes

One hand touches the ruler, while the other grasps the sharp knife

Wei Xu... that unfortunate soul is still alive

The brain is operating at full capacity

Wei Shu stared at the dozens of flickering screens in the emergency meeting room, his expression tense, the urgent report tightly clenched in his hand was creased with layers of folds

Offer a moment of silence for this young man

A howling wind descended upon him, and a sudden sensation of weightlessness struck. Gu Shen was uncontrollably thrown into the air, clutching the ruler, and fell heavily to the ground

The sensations throughout my body, apart from pain, are nothing but dizziness

The term "unlucky fellow" is quite fitting, at least it is appropriate... Gu Shen gritted his teeth, clutching the iron railing to steady himself; that last fall was too painful, his backside felt as if it had been smashed into eight pieces

At the moment her five fingers touched the long knife, the blade ignited violently, and the bright silver light illuminated the entire carriage

The silver blade burned with a fierce light, yet the flames were quickly dimming

π is an infinite non-repeating constant, which means it possesses endless precision, and on a ruler with finite precision, no point can mark π

The hibiscus fell right in front of Gu Shenzheng

The tall woman in the formal dress paused for a moment, seemingly a bit disappointed

Wei Shu suddenly saw a black dot rushing into the final surveillance view

She did not respond to Wei Shu, but instead gazed calmly at the flickering screens.

Wait a moment... What is that?

Wei's expression was somber; the other party was not wrong... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must not be easily missed

On the night when the alarm sounded, some people in Dateng City were destined to be unable to sleep.

Moreover, it seems that A-009 is determined to escape from the Great Vine. After tonight, attempting to capture it would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack

The entire conference room was silent as a grave

The city of Daiteng took over A-009 just three days ago, and an escape incident has occurred. The emergency report states that the gate was broken due to a network issue with 'Deep Sea'... But how could 'Deep Sea' have a problem?

Alan Turing

At this moment, Nan Jin did not take action, but chose to wait

Finally, Nan Jin locked onto a screen, and in a vision slowed down to nearly twenty times, the shadow of A-009 appeared, resembling a shadow cloaked by a flock of crows, which, even upon a mere glance, would evoke a sense of oppression in the heart

That newspaper is the only medium through which one can understand the other; if it can be seen, it may be helpful

So it is, so it turns out

A myriad of sparks and electric arcs burst forth.

It is already quite good if it can still be warm

The woman in the black dress, pinned to the side of the carriage, was exceptionally furious at that moment. She extended a hand, grasping the long knife that Nan Jin had driven into her body, attempting to pull it out

Wei's expression was complex; he was an informed individual who had read the files and was well aware of what it meant to be in the presence of A-009 for 20 minutes

It was at this moment that Gu Shen saw the trembling newspaper in the wind, along with the scarlet blood letters... It was a series of numerical symbols, as well as proof formulas
