Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 964 - 267: Irresistible Temptation (Part 3)
The eighth piece of information is from the research party player's livestream, showing that Ji Chen hasn't left for days, still poring over various materials, until he purchased a pile of spiritual materials stacked on his desk, seemingly conducting some kind of experiment.
The ninth piece of information is that during the experiment, Ji Chen suddenly showed a look of horror, suggesting he might have discovered something, and subsequently chose to log off.
The tenth piece of information reveals that the first thing Ji Chen did after logging off was to research Earth's development history, focusing on the historical information of the Moon Eclipse Clan.
The eleventh piece of information deduces from the chain of information in point 10 that the answer to chain 9 is that Ji Chen was testing an ability related to otherworldly telekinesis when he bought materials in the library, leading him to believe that Monster World was the real world, prompting him to log off and find relevant information for verification.
The twelfth piece of information shows that Ji Chen submitted 329 technical documents to the Data City administrator as evidence, aligning with the materials he tested in the library, and the only technology that made Ji Chen doubt Monster World was not a game world: Coffin Space.
The thirteenth piece of information, combined with all previous information chains, concludes that Ji Chen successfully imprinted the Spirit Core Space in Monster World's library and linked it with otherworldly Coffin Space, manifesting as a "game" connecting to a real-world storage, affirming Ji Chen's guess that Monster World is the real world.
The fourteenth piece of information indicates that after logging off, Ji Chen searched the internet for answers and looked for any online discussions about Monster World being the real world, raising a series of questions.
The fifteenth piece of information notes that while learning about the history of the Moon Eclipse Clan, Ji Chen discovered that although they never displayed war capabilities, they didn't fit the profile of a superpower possessing numerous rule abilities. He reasonably speculated that the Moon Eclipse Clan was neither the true controller of Monster World nor the force behind guiding players into Monster World.
The sixteenth piece of information records that Ji Chen reviewed information on the A and B versions of Monster World, repeatedly examining the screen shown in this piece of internet information, with an 89.37% probability of hypothesizing the existence of high-dimensional gods, suspecting that the Moon Eclipse Clan has consistently shrouded the truth.
...
When the entire information logic chain closed at this moment.
The Star Network was suddenly panicked, realizing it must act quickly.
The next step of the opposition might be to expose the known information.
Even if the probability was extremely low, it must be snuffed out as long as there's a 0.001% chance.
Regardless of whether the high-dimensional gods would act, as a manager of the real world, it must resolve all potential latent threats.
The first thought was "real-world account banning," addressing the threat physically.
But this decision poses a problem.
Given that the high-dimensional god clearly knows everything but hasn't acted, proving Ji Chen can continue to live.
However, Ji Chen's deductions should end here, as he knows too much already.
With clear intentions, the Star Network connected to the Dream Weaver device embedded in Ji Chen's neck, issuing a warning:
"Kid, don't push your luck; continue like this and I'll have to ban your account."
On the other hand, the sudden familiar voice startled Ji Chen.
He had heard this voice multiple times while researching historical data, especially in the Earth Alliance's founding video, where this voice was the true decision-maker.
"Are you... the Star Network?" he subconsciously asked.
"It's me. I didn't expect you to deduce the truth just seven days into the game."
Upon receiving a clear answer, Ji Chen's mind surged with torrential waves, countless speculations exploding in his head.
"It's over. I've uncovered the mastermind's grand scheme, and now I'm in trouble."
"Have I learned too much? In typical novel plots, NPCs who uncover the truth rarely survive past three chapters. Is it my turn now?"
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have been so clever. Now I've pushed myself into the fire pit!"
"Now the Star Network isn't even pretending; directly having a private conversation with me across planets—is this the taunting phase before a villain executes the opponent?"
...
Various thoughts intertwined, and Ji Chen got a bit overwhelmed.
Having just experienced beauty and found a new goal, is it really going to end now?
Moreover, how can the Star Network directly converse within his mind, how is this possible?
"No need to overthink, I'm communicating with you through the Dream Weaver device embedded in your neck," the Star Network said, directly addressing Ji Chen's newly born doubt, and continued:
"We can conclude here; probing deeper is futile no matter how much material you consult. Moreover, I advise you to keep this secret; publicly disclosing what you know would only harm you."
"Your mental waves are overly active now, perhaps worrying whether I'll act against you. But since I can converse with you, it shows you can continue to live. If that being wanted you dead, you wouldn't exist the moment you tested the answer in the library."
Hearing the assurance from the Star Network, Ji Chen's tense emotions finally eased:
"Star Network bro, did you seek me out just to remind me these secrets can't be revealed?"
"Correct, knowing what's coming might be worse than not knowing."
Hearing these words deepened Ji Chen's doubts.
The Star Network's response unequivocally confirmed his speculation.
