Chapter 255: Book of Books
Books within books.
This was a scene that Zhao Ruoming liked very much when she was reading novels, but at this moment, she just felt as if a handful of snow was stuffed into her lungs, making her feel cold all over.
"You fucking--" Zhao Ruoming grabbed Di Wanshu's hair and dragged him in front of him, his eyes twitching slightly.
Di Wanshu was like a rabbit being pulled by the ears, swinging back and forth in the air. Fortunately, he adjusted his weight in time and made himself as light as a piece of paper, so as to avoid his skull being pulled off by Zhao Ruoming due to gravity problems.
However, Di Wanshu misunderstood Zhao Ruoming's rage, or rather, he misunderstood it on purpose.
Di Wanshu stretched out his pale fingers and wanted to touch Zhao Ruoming's face, but he was afraid that Zhao Ruoming would break them, so he had to settle for the next best thing and tug at the corner of her clothes.
Di Wanshu declared: "But I still have to explain that I did not blindly follow Xie Juqiu's orders, nor did I offer her anything. Those were all her own imagination. I took action against Glory Entertainment just to see you——"
"call!"
Zhao Ruoming threw Di Wanshu out!
Di Wanshu fell to the ground like a rag doll. Fortunately, he was very light and not injured. Even the sound of his falling to the ground was just the sound of the wind.
Zhao Ruoming patted his clothes in disgust, and 203 cleaned her up in due time.
Di Wanshu was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to clean?"
Zhao Ruoming said coldly: "I think you are dirty."
Di Wanshu felt a little aggrieved: "You didn't act like you thought I was dirty before. You were obviously enjoying it."
Di Wanshu was puzzled. After humans did the most intimate thing, didn't they belong to each other? He was already Zhao Ruoming's property. He thought that after Zhao Ruoming saw the introduction of "Bai Yueguang Quit After Rebirth", he would mind that his property was following the lead of others, so he tried hard to explain it, fearing that Zhao Ruoming would be jealous or angry.
But Zhao Ruoming was not jealous. Of course, she was angry, but only because she disliked his dirtiness.
Zhao Ruoming walked up to Di Wanshu, squatted down, and looked at this minister who had no understanding of human emotions and could only imitate by rote.
"I can understand you wanting to deal with me." Zhao Ruoming approached him and grabbed his collar, "But why did you want to kill 584?"
Yes. After reading the introduction of "Bai Yueguang Quit After Rebirth", Zhao Ruoming was shocked to find that from the very beginning, the main target of this plan was not Zhao Ruoming, but 584!
584 is bound to two tasks at the same time, one is to help Feng Baobao and his mother to become popular and reach the pinnacle of glory, and the other is to help Xie Juqiu counterattack and reach the pinnacle of glory.
Xie Juqiu's mission clearly stated that he was to defeat Feng Baobao and bring down Glory Entertainment - but thanks to 584's efforts, Feng Baobao and his mother became extremely popular and became the mainstays of Glory Entertainment. What is this?
But if 584 chose Xie Juqiu and faithfully carried out Xie Juqiu's orders, then the heroine Feng Baobao would be defeated under the planning of her own son!
...Moreover, Feng Baobao's star journey is also Zhao Ruoming's mission, and Zhao Ruoming cannot just sit by and watch his mission being destroyed. In other words, 584 will become Zhao Ruoming's enemy.
584 binds two contradictory tasks together, like an AI being asked to answer a question that it cannot answer on its own. No matter which task it completes, it will inevitably lead to the failure of the other task.
What does failure mean?
In the book-traveling department controlled by Emperor Wanshu, 203 was detained in a zero-dimensional cage just for smuggling something, and was not released until the intervention of the Great Supervisory Organization.
So, what does the failure of 584 mean?
Zhao Ruoming had always been on guard against Di Wanshu, and she had been having an ominous premonition recently. She had originally thought that it was due to her awareness of danger, but now she realized that it was an ominous premonition that she would lose 584.
203 was keenly aware of Zhao Ruoming's concerns and comforted him, "Host, in fact, the failure of a mission is not that serious for the system. 584 is different from a non-staff employee like you. He is a staff member. At most, he will lose some energy or be demoted. The most serious consequence is just carrying sacks in the database."
Zhao Ruoming said: "What if its host sues it for malfeasance, just like I sued you last time?"
203 was stunned: "Of course this is a serious crime. System dereliction of duty, if the situation is serious, it will be a-"
203 paused.
Who is the host of 584?
Emperor Wanshu!
584 Malfeasance?
From Di Wanshu's point of view, that was a dereliction of duty!
584 has never contacted its host Di Wanshu and has never interfered with Xie Juqiu's mission. What's more, as Di Wanshu's system, it often visits Zhao Ruoming's mind!
203's light stream flickered: "So 584 left!"
"Yes." Zhao Ruoming exhaled, "It must have discovered this matter, so before Di Wanshu sued it, it turned itself in personally."
584 was familiar with the long and boring tricks of the Book Department and knew that he was going to be unlucky. Therefore, he selectively left his memories in Feng Xiaobao's mind and left.
Instead of waiting for Di Wanshu to accuse it of dereliction of duty, it would be better to admit its mistake and say that it had a bug and accidentally accepted two contradictory tasks, and was willing to accept the punishment. This way, it would also save some suffering.
Di Wanshu tidied up his clothes in a fussy manner, raised his head and said, "Actually, 584 should thank you."
Zhao Ruoming was annoyed when he saw the dead man, and asked impatiently: "What are you putting there again?"
Di Wanshu smiled and said, "According to my original plan, I will announce my cooperation with Xie Juqiu tonight, and Glory Entertainment will collapse tomorrow. How do we say it in human terms? The house will collapse. In this way, Xie Juqiu's mission will be completed by 60%."
Di Wanshu slowly got up, snapped his fingers, and his wheelchair rolled over spontaneously.
Di Wanshu climbed onto the wheelchair and said with a smile, "The host completed 584% of the task alone without the help of the system. In this case, I will sue it, and 's crime of dereliction of duty will be set in stone. However, the announcement of the cooperation was delayed because of our affairs——" (Di Wanshu blinked meaningfully at this point) "The collapse of Glory Entertainment was inadvertently prevented by you again."
Zhao Ruoming was slightly stunned. Mother! She just used Di Wanshu for pleasure because she didn't like him. As for the incident with Mr. Mi, it was out of some kind of beast-like intuition, without any logic. Could it be that -
Di Wanshu sighed artificially: "So, neither of these two tasks has been successful, but neither has failed. It's just a stalemate."
