Scott’s eyes were wary and clearly didn’t believe Lu Yan’s words, but his body’s actions were very honest, he no longer attempted to make a move to escape.
Recalling the details of that day and what Lu Yan had said, Scott’s expression was gloomy as he questioned:
"Did you deliberately sabotage the personal intelligent brain?"
Lu Yan slightly raised his eyebrows and did not try to refute.
"You could think of it that way."
Hearing Lu Yan’s indifferent tone, the anger in Scott’s heart began to rise, and he attempted to threaten in a low voice:
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll report your information?
Sabotaging the personal intelligent brain, luring the law enforcement officer, and being able to control a special soul body. All this information indicates that your identity is no ordinary one, you might even be an important fallen figure, hiding beneath the cave with soul technology.
An extremely dangerous person like you will inevitably draw the attention of the Universal Giant Corporation if exposed, even if you hide in the cave, the Corporation will sooner or later drag you out!"
Lu Yan chuckled lightly.
"An interesting thought, perhaps you should try it."
If he were indeed a fallen figure, Scott’s threats might have had an effect, as Scott said, as long as the Universal Giant Corporation was willing to spend time, finding someone would be a breeze.
But Lu Yan was not a fallen figure, and with the impending world version update, the constraints on Lu Yan were also loosening.
As long as he could hold out until the version update arrived and escape the control of the Universal Giant Corporation, Lu Yan would no longer need to be so cautious.
Thus, Scott’s threats had no substantial effect on Lu Yan.
Lu Yan’s understated attitude further angered Scott, who raised his right hand with the personal terminal, attempting to dial the communications of the City Tax Bureau Chief.
Just as he was about to press the communication button, Lu Yan’s voice echoed again through the ghost.
"But you should think carefully, pressing the communication means your loss of the intelligent brain is confirmed, and the responsibility for trying to conceal it during this time will fall on you."
"So what? At worst, I’ll make a trip to the Heaven Computation Center.
My father will surely do his best to shorten my work tenure, and maybe in a few years, I’ll regain my freedom."
Scott retorted stubbornly, but his actions froze.
Lu Yan laughed, and the air bore the outline of the ghost, questioning from above:
"Do you really think losing the personal intelligent brain is such a simple matter?"
"Your intelligent brain spirit body has already been stripped, which means the personal intelligent brain has become a piece of scrap metal.
Do you know, this intelligent brain spirit body is based on the soul of a spiritual ability user at the soul transformation level, added with soul transformation technology to complete, its real value far exceeds your understanding.
If I were to deliberately leak some information, such as extracting some secrets through the intelligent brain spirit body, the responsibility on you would increase several-fold.
Unless your father is a director at the Universal Giant Corporation, there’s no way he can protect you.
Missing an intelligent brain requires the soul of a spiritual ability user at the soul transformation level to supplement, if your father’s position is sufficient it’s fine, at most, losing some benefits.
But if his power has reached the soul transformation level yet his status can’t smooth things over, he might have to sacrifice his own soul to fill the gap.
The Universal Giant Corporation’s system, you should be more aware than I am."
Scott was now completely frozen.
Intelligent brain spirit body, soul transformation level soul, soul transformation, these secrets were completely unknown to him as a law enforcement officer.
He instinctively wanted to refute, but the desire to survive forced him to shut his mouth.
If it was just him suffering, gritting his teeth and going to the Heaven Computation Center would be manageable, but if his mistakes affected his father, it would be an unacceptable result for him.
Scott removed the personal terminal, casually throwing it into the office trash bin.
He looked at Lu Yan with a gloomy expression and spoke heavily:
"You said you could help me with the personal intelligent brain trouble?"
"I can prepare a grand spectacle for you, hundreds of spiritual ability users attacking the enforcement team in the Thirty-Third Cave, you wholeheartedly leading the charge against hundreds of spiritual ability users without falling behind.
During this process, the personal intelligent brain is interfered with by spiritual ability users from the Lower City District, but you persevere and manage, single-handedly, to fend off all enemies, protecting the Thirty-Third Cave outpost.
With this grand achievement of one person repelling hundreds of spiritual ability users, even if there are problems with your intelligent brain, they won’t penalize you.
They might even commend you further to encourage forthcoming purges."
Scott involuntarily swallowed.
His initial thought was merely to instigate chaos and expand the issue to cover the intelligent brain’s damage, the situation was not under his control, and he couldn’t guarantee any outcome.
Even if everything could be smoothly carried out, the plan still posed some risk.
But if according to Lu Yan’s plan, with mutual collaboration, the danger would definitely decrease.
And in this critical stage before the upcoming purge, being able to fend off hundreds of spiritual ability users would surely deserve extensive praise, potentially smoothing over the personal intelligent brain issue.
Thinking of this, Scott shivered, and after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and asked:
"What is your ultimate goal?"
"It’s very simple," Lu Yan softly chuckled, "I need advanced knowledge for a Compiler."
"Impossible!" Scott instinctively refused outright.
But realizing he needed Lu Yan’s help, Scott quickly explained:
"You don’t know how strict the prohibition on knowledge is, anything that goes to the Lower City District undergoes the most stringent information searches.
If they find anything with potentially forbidden knowledge, it will be immediately confiscated, and even the holder will be sent to the Heaven Computation Center."
"But what does that have to do with me?" Lu Yan’s retort promptly followed.
The intangible ghost drifted in the office, Lu Yan’s voice becoming increasingly ephemeral and elusive.
"I have confidence that Prosecutor Scott can certainly find a way?"
After a while, a decisive glint appeared in his eyes as he returned to the desk, operating on the terminal’s virtual screen.
"Two days later, there will be a convoy passing through the Lower City District, tasked with transporting a batch of criminals to the Heaven Computation Center for soul computation power.
Among this batch of criminals is one involved in illegal knowledge trade, and among the forbidden knowledge he was selling is the advanced knowledge for a Compiler."
