Chapter 475 The Other Half of the Key
The passage was dark and narrow, and there was no end in sight. Being in it, it felt like being locked in endless darkness.
If someone with claustrophobia walked here, he would probably go crazy.
But Xia Shengge's steps were very steady.
She had suffered countless tortures in her previous life. Even if she really had claustrophobia, she was numb in the tiny tortures.
Only the front part of the stairs went vertically downward. Xia Shengge guessed that this passage should be embedded in the wall of the Qiu family's old house.
After walking for five minutes, the passage began to become winding and the air became increasingly humid. It should be deep underground.
When she first entered the secret passage, she tried to release a surveillance bee to explore the way ahead.
Unfortunately, the surveillance bee fell down after flying less than one meter.
Obviously, there was electromagnetic pulse interference here, which prevented the surveillance bee and even the Teresa terminal in her hand from operating normally.
Even with Xia Shengge's strong sense of spatial structure, after such a dizzying and up-and-down journey, she couldn't tell where the laboratory was in the old house.
And this road was so complicated and long, how did Qiu Zhaoxing return to Hanelson's bedroom so quickly?
Xia Shengge was puzzled as she groped around a corner, and then a ray of light suddenly came through the darkness in front of her.
Finally arrived!
Her steps accelerated unconsciously, but she suddenly stopped before approaching the light.
Sweat oozed from her forehead and flowed densely to the tip of her nose.
Xia Shengge could hear her heart pounding because of nervousness, and she could also feel the muscles all over her body stiff and sore because of tension.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the tip of her nose.
There was an inconspicuous red light across the front.
As the sweat rolled from the forehead to the tip of the nose, the sweat touched the red light and immediately made a hissing sound, and it broke into pieces and dissipated.
Laser net!
There was a laser net here.
A person who has been in confinement and darkness for a long time will definitely yearn for light.
And eyes that have adapted to darkness will be particularly dazed and unable to detect subtle clues.
If Xia Shengge had lost her composure just now and rushed directly to the light, she would have been cut into pieces by these laser nets.
She retreated carefully, then slowly exhaled and began to look for a mechanism to withdraw these lasers.
However, to her disappointment, the surroundings were all cold concrete walls, without even a single abnormality that could accommodate a mechanism.
Xia Shengge quickly realized that this was not a normal secret passage to the laboratory, but just a trick.
Qiu Zhaoxing must have entered the laboratory through a shortcut.
This passage was extremely hidden and almost impossible to be discovered.
But Hanelson obviously thought of the possibility that he or Qiu Zhaoxing was followed by someone, so he designed such a trap.
In this way, even if someone really followed in by mistake, they would be trapped here and even torn into pieces by the laser trap.
For a moment, Xia Shengge was in a dilemma.
At this moment, her bracelet suddenly vibrated violently.
Then, Teresa's mechanical sound, which had not sounded for a long time, was in her ears.
"Master, I sensed the other half of the key, it's here!!"
"Take the other half of the key back and merge it quickly, so that it can be connected to the central network."
Xia Shengge rarely heard a bit of urgency from the tone of her intelligent AI.
She said helplessly: "I want to too! But you see, I can't get through this laser net in front of me."
Going back to find the correct channel again will not only cause Hanelson and his men to run into each other, but there is no guarantee that they can find the mechanism.
Then, Xia Shengge heard her own AI say with its calm electronic sound in a disdainful tone: "It's just a laser net, I can just make it temporarily ineffective."
As soon as the voice fell, the bracelet vibrated violently.
Xia Shengge watched the laser net that trapped her begin to fluctuate.
It was as if an invisible hand was shaking the entire net violently, and then... then the laser net was shaken apart.
Xia Shengge stared at the unobstructed road ahead in amazement, and Teresa's triumphant voice rang in his ears: "The laser net also needs electricity to maintain. I used electromagnetic pulse interference waves to temporarily cut off its power supply. It will not take long for it to fall apart."
"Of course, if it weren't for the purpose of preventing the other half of the core from discovering my existence, it would be no problem to directly destroy the circuit board."
Xia Shengge swallowed his saliva, quickly crossed the position of the laser net, and quietly sneaked into a bright passage with lights on.
While lowering his voice, he said, "After entering the port city, you have been playing dumb. Why are you suddenly active now?"
Teresa was quiet for a while, and then said in a dull electronic voice, "Didn't you say that, Master? We can't let the other half of the core discover our existence. I will use the chip in your body to communicate with you, which will generate electromagnetic currents, which may be detected by the other half of the core within a certain range. For your safety, Master, I won't speak."
"What about now?"
As soon as Xia Shengge asked this question, Teresa's tone became obviously excited, "Just now I clearly detected the existence of the other half of the core. Its core functions, storage data, and AI data evolution are obviously far inferior to mine. Even if I communicate with the master and make a little noise, it can completely block it. Unless I am willing to release a signal, it can't find me or the master."
Very good, she understood.
Her intelligent AI had been pretending to be a quail before because it didn't know the strength of the other half of the core and was timid.
Now it is showing off again because it finally figured out the depth of the other half of the core and found that it was better than the other party, so it was unscrupulous again.
Xia Shengge couldn't help laughing when she heard Teresa complain about the incompetence of the other half of the core in the most stable tone.
But actually, if you think about it carefully, this is very reasonable.
Teresa is not just the intelligent super brain of Guangyu College.
It has also merged with the half of the core left by its parents.
Adding the two together, isn't it natural that it is stronger than the other half of the core?
And according to Xia Shengge's speculation, the half core left in the Qiu family laboratory may not carry too many functions and intelligent AI systems.
Its biggest function is to serve as a key that can connect to Delan's system center.
This is why, even though Xia Shengge got Teresa and half of the core, he couldn't connect to Delan's central network, but Hanelson and DKing could control Delan through the Qiu family.
Xia Shengge quickly stopped communicating with Teresa, because as she walked, she gradually heard a familiar voice in her ears.
"...Qiu, he is your grandson, it's up to you to decide how to deal with him!"
