Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1187 Research on Dead Files (Part 1)

Jiang Wengao pondered for a moment and chose [Option 3].

[AAA: Have these records kept by the bureau been modified, and are they not the true history that is open to ordinary employees?]

[(You have entered free dialogue mode. This trigger is random.)]

[Murong Shangjin: Oh? You think this isn't true history?]

Murong Shangjin's character design has changed, with several new panels added, like in a comic book, showing his transformation from indifference to considerable curiosity.

【AAA: (Please enter)】

Jiang Wengao's fingers were placed on the keyboard, his ten fingers slightly bent and straightened.

He didn't expect to be suddenly thrust into a free-response mode; he wasn't even prepared to give any answers.

The open-ended question-and-answer format was one of the keys to making Kyoto Fall a top-rated game in its original world. Simply put, it used AI to create a game world with an exaggerated degree of freedom and no logical contradictions during gameplay.

In other words, the NPCs in the game can pass the Turing test without any problems when answering questions freely, just like real people, which is one of the most attractive aspects of the game.

There are two ways to trigger the free question and answer mode: the first is random triggering, which involves calling up completely random numbers, and the second is triggering based on key points.

Key point triggers are game events that can be precisely triggered once certain prerequisites are met, and can be repeatedly experienced by rewinding the game.

Random triggers are different; once triggered, it's very difficult to trigger them again. If the dialogue is not smooth and causes this part to end prematurely, it is difficult to have another chance to freely talk in the same situation.

[Murong Shangjin: AAA, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?]

? !
Jiang Wengao's eyes widened suddenly as he stared at the new dialog box in disbelief.

This statement no longer makes sense in the game!

In this game, there is no time limit for free dialogue.

Because players need to organize their thoughts and type, they can't just blurt out a sentence like they would in real life. So, NPCs in the game won't think you speak slowly just because you type slowly.

When the player is inputting, the game can be considered to be static.

To express a reaction such as silence, you only need to input the desired expression and action. Before the NPC inputs actions such as silence, time should appear to be frozen in their eyes.

In other words, NPCs cannot possibly think that the player hasn't spoken!

what is the problem?

What new features are included in the new version?
What's the mechanism behind this? Is there a built-in response countdown in the game program? But that's so inconvenient, considering that people type at different speeds.

[Murong Shangjin: What's wrong? You seem a bit nervous. Is there something wrong with that document?]

Upon seeing this sentence, Jiang Wengao quickly typed the action "[calm with doubt]" into the action bar, then typed back, "[I'm not nervous, I just suddenly felt that this data was a bit unnatural.]"

Murong Shangjin smiled slightly, walked over, took the document from your hand, and examined it as well, asking, "Then why were you stunned just now?"

[AAA: "I'm thinking about something."]

[Murong Shangjin: "What are you thinking about?"]

[AAA: "I was thinking, I haven't heard anything about Lin Tiandong's deeds lately."]

[Murong Shangjin: "He's already retired."]

[AAA: "I really admire Senior Lin. How is he doing now?"] [Murong Shangjin: "He's doing quite well. Because of his health condition, he lives on a small island similar to Hawaii, with his two former subordinates with him."]

Jiang Wengao gasped.

They're still alive! That proves there's definitely a big problem with the plot!
His fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed the next line: "Is there any readable information about him?"

Murong Shangjin said absentmindedly, "Of course there are. Just enter his name, and you should be able to find some of his publicly known deeds, but definitely not all of them, since some are top secret."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wengao subtly inquired about Baihe's sister, and learned that Bai Xue and the retired Baihe were together, although their place of residence was not something the character he was controlling could know.

In the end, Jiang Wengao only knew that Bai Xue was still alive and had remarried, but he didn't find out who her husband was.

After the free conversation mode ended, Jiang Wengao firmly memorized the information he had just learned, intending to reorganize it after waking up. Holding the mouse, he continued to organize the files in the game, while also devising his strategy for the next phase.

After he finishes organizing these documents, he will go and look up information related to Lin Tiandong.

Soon, the task of helping Murong Shangjin organize documents was initially completed. After receiving the reward of increased proficiency in document organization, he immediately returned to his dormitory and began searching for files about Lin Tiandong.

Just as he turned on his computer, the screen suddenly jolted, followed by a text box popping up: [Boom! You feel a violent tremor beneath your feet, and there's a huge, chaotic noise coming from the dormitory corridor outside. You can vaguely hear screams. What's happening outside?]

Option 1: Go out and take a look.

Option 2: Ignore it and continue doing your own thing.

Option 3: Find a safe place to hide in the dormitory.

"What?" Jiang Wengao's brows furrowed instantly.

Next to the options box, there is a countdown timer, and the vibration of the background frame is getting stronger and stronger, while the noise in the background is getting closer.

10, 9, 8, 7...

Jiang Wengao's eyes darted frantically between the three options.

The first option is obviously suicidal, no different from the idiot in a horror movie who peeks out and opens a door. Only a moron would choose that!
The second option seems good too, but staying put is a bit... silly, but in this game, silly options aren't necessarily wrong.

For example, in many cases, if a character ignores the anomalies like an ordinary person who cannot see anything unusual, they will be safe and sound.

However, if you choose to avoid or confront it, you will be abnormally affected, which is somewhat like delusional disorder.

However, ignoring it isn't always the best approach, so it also depends on luck.

As for the third option... that's cautious enough.

However, Kyoto Falls has quite a few unconventional plot twists.

"Fine! I'll choose you!" Jiang Wengao clicked the third button.

You hid in the metal wardrobe in the corner of the room.

【…】

You feel the vibrations outside getting closer and closer. Suddenly, you feel dizzy and the world spins around you. Accompanied by a strange roar and the sound of metal deforming and tearing, you lose all feeling in your lower body.

Then, you feel a lot of soft things being squeezed out of your stomach... You're dead.
