Chapter 42 The Incident Happened Suddenly
Stop relying on your calculations!
Schwarz's words left Lin Qiong speechless. A robot is a robot; it only relies on its own massive computing power and is extremely rigid in its actions.
"You can never calculate how 1+1 can be greater than 2 in special circumstances."
"It's like you being a robot; you can never understand the possibilities that humans possess."
However, Schwarzkopf remained unmoved upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Lin Qiong sighed. He knew that he definitely couldn't persuade Schwarz on his own.
Lin Qiong, thinking that Clara would speak up for him, looked at the white-haired little girl who was peeking out from behind Schwarz.
"Clara, can you help me persuade Schwarzlo?" Lin Qiong tried to win Clara over.
"Huh? Me?" Clara seemed a little flustered when she was suddenly called upon. "But..."
Seeing Clara's hesitation, Lin Qiong said sincerely, "As long as Schwarzlo is willing to release that hidden video, this cold disaster that has swept through the world for hundreds of years will soon come to an end."
"This footage will definitely unite the people in the lower district, like—'family'."
To involve Clara, Lin Qiong used the word "family" to describe her.
These two words were like keywords; after Clara heard them, she lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Schwarz simply stood there quietly, not stopping Lin Qiong's attempt to win over Clara.
Perhaps it was also waiting, waiting for Lin Qiong to persuade Clara to make her demands.
Just then, Lin Qiong's cell phone suddenly rang with a "ding-dong."
He took out his phone and saw an unread message, a text message sent on March 7th.
The note read: "You haven't come back yet after so long, did you get lost in town?"
Lin Qiong glanced at the time displayed on his phone and realized that he had been here for almost two hours.
To avoid worrying his companions, he quickly typed a few words on his phone—"I'm not lost, I'll be right back," and added a Pam thumbs-up emoji at the end.
After doing all this, Lin Qiong said to Schwarz and Clara, "I've been gone for too long, and my companions are starting to worry."
"In a few days, I might not be the only one coming here; there might be people from 'Earthfire' and Silvermane Iron Guards from the upper district as well."
"If you, Swallow, are willing to release that footage about the source of the cold disaster, then come to Rocky Town."
After saying these two sentences, Lin Qiong bid farewell to Schwarz and Clara, and then left Schwarz's residence along the way he had come.
Watching Lin Qiong's departing figure, Clara walked up to Schwarz as if she had made up her mind.
She looked up at Schwarz, her gaze hardening: "Mr. Schwarz, please tell everyone what you know."
Clara hopes to see the people of the lower districts unite, like...like "family"!
“Clara…” Schwarz said, looking down at Clara, “Calculations show that the probability of humanity ending this catastrophe is extremely low…”
Even so, Clara is willing to believe in what her older brother said—the possibility of humanity!
Clara met Swallow's gaze from his single red eye and said with a determined look.
"Over this period of time, Clara has learned one thing: results derived from 'calculation' cannot bring happiness."
"The older brother just now told Clara that he was from another planet, and also told Clara that there is a train in the universe that can travel through the galaxy."
Clara felt that they might become the "variable" Mr. Schwarzlo was referring to.
At this point, Clara smiled, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future as she looked at Schwarz.
"..." Looking at Clara's expression, Schwarzlo remained silent for a moment, then said in his cold, mechanical voice, "Reboot the evaluation system... Reboot successful—transforming variables."
"Variable 1: Clara's demands; Variable 2: the outsider's motives."
"Assessment Update: Access to information related to the 'Star Core' has been granted to the lower-level regions in exchange for assisting 'Earthfire's' request."
"Thank you, Mr. Schwarz!"
When Clara heard Schwarz's decision, the smile that bloomed on her face was like the warm winter sun, adding a rare touch of warmth to the cold environment.
Panyan Town, Goethe Hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Qiong greeted March 7 and the others, telling them not to worry about him.
Afterwards, Lin Qiong returned to his own room. He lay on the bed, looking at the somewhat old ceiling, and recalled the events that had occurred at the Swaro base that day.
He went to negotiate with Schwarzlo alone, but even after talking until his lips were blistered, he still couldn't persuade him. It seems that his plan to end the Yalilo-6 trip early has fallen through.
"Sigh, in the end, we still have to mobilize everyone to fight Schwarzlo?" Lin Qiong sighed softly, muttering to himself with a hint of helplessness.
Just as Lin Qiong was thinking about how to quickly pass the lower level, a wave of drowsiness washed over him. His eyelids began to droop, and he slowly closed his eyes, soon falling asleep.
......
"Boom boom boom——"
A series of urgent knocks on the door woke Lin Qiong from his deep sleep.
"Qiong! Wake up! Something terrible has happened!" March 7's voice came from outside the door.
Something happened? What could have happened? Lin Qiong was a little confused by March 7's words. He remembered that he shouldn't have been arrested in the hotel in the lower district.
Had the plot changed? With this question in mind, Lin Qiong got up and opened the door, where three familiar faces came into view.
March 7th, Xing, and Dan Heng were standing neatly outside Lin Qiong's room.
Seeing Dan Heng's somewhat solemn expression, Lin Qiong asked in confusion, "What happened?"
“Ask him,” March 7th said, pointing to Danheng. “Danheng knocked on our door early this morning. When we asked him what happened, he didn’t say. He just said he would tell us when you woke up.”
As they spoke, Lin Qiong, Xing, and San Yueqi all focused their gazes on Dan Heng, quietly waiting for him to speak.
"There was a commotion outside the inn just now; something must have happened," Dan Heng said slowly under the watchful eyes of the three.
"Oh no? Are we surrounded again?" March 7th said with a worried look. "Now I'm really going to be traumatized by inns!"
Xing asked Danheng with a puzzled look, "How did you know there was something going on outside? We didn't seem to hear anything."
"I'm usually a light sleeper, it's been a long-standing habit," Dan Heng said casually, arms crossed.
Seeing Dan Heng's calm demeanor, Lin Qiong chuckled inwardly, thinking: Dan Heng, you're probably not a light sleeper, it's more like someone is talking to you in your dream with a knife, which is why you can't fall asleep.
"No matter what, let's go out and take a look first."
Afterwards, Lin Qiong and the others arrived outside the Goethe Hotel.
After they came out, they found that a large number of people had gathered at the intersection leading to Rivet Town, and some people were carrying weapons and rushing towards that direction.
The scene before them left everyone puzzled. Could it be that the Silver Mane Iron Guards had attacked?
With this question in mind, Lin Qiong called out to a man who was passing by with a homemade spear in his hand, "Hey, brother!"
The man, who was hurrying toward the intersection of Rivet Town, heard a voice suddenly coming from the side. He stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, and found two men and two women standing at the entrance of the Goethe Hotel.
One of them kept waving and shouting at him.
Seeing the man stop and look in their direction, Lin Qiong pointed towards the intersection of Rivet Town and asked him, "Brother, what exactly happened over there?"
"You didn't know?" The man looked at Lin Qiong and the others with some surprise, "Swarovski has brought robots to attack!"
