Zhang Zixin was suspicious, judging from the chat records of readers, this prankster appeared in the library chat room this morning, could it have anything to do with the elf who appeared in the morning?

The computer system on the fifth floor of the Binhai City Library is self-contained, completely closed to the outside world, and the pranksters are definitely on the fifth floor.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. Zhang Zi'an didn't come to study, his mood was not affected by the prank, but he felt a faint sense of excitement.

He asked Mr. Zhou to read with peace of mind, and walked through the corridor on the fifth floor with his mobile phone, this time focusing on the seat in front of the computer, whether there was anyone in the seat.

Although he deliberately slowed down, because he kept holding his mobile phone as if he was recording a video, readers who passed by would have more or less looked at him with wariness or annoyance, if it weren't for the prankster still typing the same number over and over again in the chat room, it is estimated that Zhang Zian would have been mistaken for a prankster and changed his pranks.

Zhang Zi'an ignored all these gazes, not caring what these people thought of him, and with unparalleled patience he walked through the central area of the fifth floor, but still found no trace of the elves.

Could it be that this elf is so ethereal that you can't even see it in the game's capture screen?

Or is it moving? Not pinned in front of a computer typing?

When he passed by each free computer, he would keep an eye on the keyboard to see if the keycaps were moving, and he would listen intently for the sound of typing coming from the direction of the free computer...... Unfortunately, the library equips these computers with laptop-style floating keyboards with short key travel and a slight typing sound that is inaudible even when standing next to a typist.

After walking round and round, Zhang Zi'an returned to Mr. Zhou, who was reading with relish, and was worried, when he saw the girl in the corner whose ID was Coco standing up again and quietly beckoning to him.

He had just passed by Coco twice, a fashionable girl with a flaxen-dyed scalp that made it difficult to associate her with her love of reading.

Zhang Zi'an didn't know what was wrong with her, but he didn't want to let go of any possibility, and walked over quickly.

"Hey, I think you're looking for someone, are you looking for that pi?" Coco asked quietly as he waited for him to get closer.

Zhang Zi'an nodded, and also replied quietly: "I see that everyone is annoyed by him, and I want to find him out and invite him out of the chat room." ”

"Oh, you're a library employee?" Coco asked curiously.

"No, I'm an avid reader. Zhang Zi'an's face did not change and he.

Coco believed it and said with admiration: "I have a few familiar faces here, I don't know each other's real names, but we will nod and say hello when we meet, I haven't seen you before, you're new here, right?"

Zhang Zi'an had a serious face and said matter-of-factly: "Yes, on the first day, I saw that the reading atmosphere here was very good, and I didn't let a rat poop spoil a pot of soup - by the way, do you have any clues? Is there any clue for me to find him?"

Coco thought for a moment and said, "Today is a holiday, I came to the library early, planning to read a book here for a day, as soon as the door opened, I was the first to enter, and there were definitely no more than ten readers on the fifth floor at that time. ”

"That person was there at that time?" Zhang Zi'an asked.

Coco nodded, "Yes, no one spoke in the chat room at first, I casually typed 'hello, orld', and the person followed my 'hello, orld' and appeared, sending a string of pi, I thought it was a new popular joke, so I ignored him, closed the chat room and began to concentrate on reading." When the number of people on the fifth floor gradually increased, and a few familiar faces appeared, I reopened the chat room and found that everyone was denouncing him......"

From Coco's words, Zhang Zi'an sensitively grasped a key piece of information - that "person" appeared as soon as the museum opened, and the opening time and the time of the game's prompt elf appeared completely coincided, not the same.

"And then everybody was just watching, and no one was trying to find him?" he asked.

Coco smiled helplessly, "How to say, the regulars who come to the library are quite peaceful, even if they are the most ruthless in the chat room, if they find that pi in reality, I am afraid they will only be polite to reason with him." The library is not a vegetable market, and not everyone of the hundreds of readers on the fifth floor is chatting in the chat room, maybe not even half of them, and if we check them one by one, it is very likely to affect the readers who read books normally and arouse their disgust, so what is the difference between us and the pranksters? The impact is even worse. ”

Well, Zhang Zi'an admits that what she said makes sense, things gather by like, people by groups, people who often come to the library to receive ink fragrance must have a relatively peaceful personality, and are well versed in the golden mean of Confucian self-cultivation, no one wants to be this bird.

"Of course, it's not like we didn't do nothing. Coco added, "A few people went to the help desk to explain the situation to the library staff, asked the staff to find the person from the back office and kicked him out of the chat room - but it didn't work, the staff on duty said that it was the New Year's holiday, the technicians were on vacation, and the library system was closed, physically isolated from the outside world, and there was no way to manage it remotely......"

Day time - New Year's Day holiday.

Geographical advantage – closed system.

People - readers with a peaceful personality.

The pranksters have the upper hand, and it's no wonder that these readers, though they are so angry, are helpless.

Zhang Zi'an is now 99% sure that the prankster is the elf he is looking for.

But what kind of spirit is this?

What does it mean to type pi repeatedly? Just for fun?

A spirit whose flame of life is about to be extinguished will play a prank just for fun......?

Zhang Zi'an felt that the elf was not joking, but trying to ask for help...... Or even a call for help.

"I'm sorry, that's all I know, it's not a useful clue. Coco said apologetically, "We people are not very mobile, so we probably can't help you much, but if you find this pi, please don't make drastic moves!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”

Zhang Zi'an thanked him, walked back to his seat quickly, and also launched the chat room software, giving himself a common nickname - Da Shuaibi.

After entering the chat room, he did not rush to type and speak, but waited patiently, and when the elf typed pi again, he immediately typed and replied.

[Big handsome ratio]: 3.1415926, hat do you ant?

He has a certain feeling that other readers may be stuck in a dead end, who can be sure that this "person" must be Chinese? Who can be sure that this "person" can understand Chinese?

Of course, this is the Binhai City Library, which is not frequented by many foreign readers like the National Library or the Capital Library. Zhang Zi'an walked around twice just now, paid attention to it, and determined that the readers on the fifth floor were all East Asian faces with yellow skin and black eyes, and I don't know if there were Japanese and Korean people among them, but there were absolutely no Western faces, so it was normal for other readers to have this blind spot in their thinking.

This elf is not necessarily a Chinese elf, it may also be a foreign elf, maybe it can't read Chinese, and other people's questions and rebukes seem to it to be similar to the Book of Heaven.

Zhang Zi'an's English level is not very good, but simple daily conversations are still okay, especially after going to the United States for a few days, I feel good about fried chicken!

[Jacaranda]: I haven't seen this nickname before, new here?

[Ah Liu]: Look at this nickname...... It won't be another troublemaker, right?

[Jackdaw]: It's useless, you think he will be able to ignore you if you talk to him in English? Just like a robot, he will only send the top 100 positions of pi, one no more, no less, I think he is deliberately trying to make trouble!

[Coco]: yes, English! Why didn't I think of that? He reacted to my 'hello, orld'! Maybe he only understands English!

The chat room was temporarily quiet, and several regulars who spoke regularly waited patiently for the prankster's reply, albeit disapprovingly.

They only waited a few seconds, and the situation took a surprising turn.

[3.1415926]:3.1415926535897932384626h433832e795r02884197e16939937i51s058209m749445923078y1640628620b8998o628o034825342117k0679

Zhang Zi'an and several regulars stared at the string of familiar numbers on the screen in a daze, and only reacted after half a ring, this string of numbers was not the original string, and there were some English characters mixed in it.

[Coco]:…… h…… e…… r…… e…… i…… s…… m…… y…… b…… o…… K?No,It's a book!I'm sorry!I've missed an o!I'm almost overwhelmed!

here is my book?

Where's my book?

Several regulars felt embarrassed, the prankster actually really reacted to the English question? Why didn't he think of it earlier? Could this be a foreigner? Or an overseas Chinese who doesn't understand Chinese?

All of a sudden, a lot of questions poured into the chat room, all of them were asked in English, and they were even swiped, asking questions such as "who are you", "where are you sitting", "why don't you speak English earlier, and what does it mean to type a string of pi", "can you talk well" and so on.

The quality of the readers here is very high, the English dialogue is not a problem, everyone you say a word, and the prankster is silent.

[Coco]: Let's be quiet, okay? Let the newcomer ask first, we won't get the answer we want.

Zhang Zi'an only typed a sentence, and then stared at the screen and fell into a state of thought.

"Like a robot" - this unintentional remark from [Jackdaw] earlier struck him with a hint of inspiration. Apparently, the regulars had taken the elf for a "human" and had no suspicions.

Zhang Zi'an had previously thought that the elf might have been too thin to manifest, but now he suddenly thought of a famous thought experiment, and thus had a vague guess about the elf's identity.

The alpha dog of the Chinese house?

Are we facing an artificial intelligence that roams the digital space?
