- Stealing the day.

That's how Russell can describe the plan.

The deer head has elven authority and knowledge, and has turned itself into an electronic ghost.

As the most elite psionic hacker, she can of course modify all the internet-connected clocks on the island of Happiness to temporarily speed up all of them by 1/14400, and make them go blank for three minutes before returning to their original speed......

So there's a problem.

Suppose all the clocks that a person can see are inaccurate, and they are all at the same time...... So is it possible to say that the right time is no longer important?

"Although no company on the island of happiness has the need to calibrate time, there is still a chance that this plan will fail."

Bad Sun said slowly: "Although there is a certain error in the chaotic calculation of the 'annealing nerve center', if someone doubts and thinks that the error at the minute level is too large, it is still possible to realize that the time has been modified. ”

"The first thing they thought of was that there was something wrong with the machine."

Russell complained.

After all, how many people find that the clock has a minute-hand error, and the calculation results are not in line with other clocks, and their first reaction is "probably all the clocks in the world have been changed"?

Compared to "your machine has been tampered with" or "you have made a mistake", it is clear that the latter two scenarios are more convincing and more likely.

The "annealing nerve center" used for weather and disaster forecasting on each air island is a small technology company owned by Hudson Marine Mining.

They analyze weather, humidity, air quality, ocean currents and more every day, but no one knows exactly what they plan to do.

With the exception of a handful of researchers, there aren't many employees in this extensive company.

By their quality, Russell didn't think they could find out.

"But it's a possibility, after all, so I didn't tell you about it at first."

Bad Day shrugged: "It's because of this plan, in fact, it may not be successful." And every time it succeeds, there is a huge risk - after all, the clock stands still for three minutes at 00:00. The first two times it was one minute, but this time it was more complicated, so I stayed for two more minutes.

"But again, the likelihood of exposure has increased. I suspect that someone will find out the secret this time.

"After all, the nightlife is getting richer and richer...... The number of people who don't sleep at zero o'clock is gradually increasing. There will always be people at that time who sense that the flow of time is not right, and then discover the truth and leave evidence.

"And if enough people are aware of this, then the elves will understand why they were killed by me out of thin air without leaving any memory."

He knew very well that this plan was to be used once less than once.

But Bad Day still accepted Russell's "employment".

"In that case, wouldn't you be able to kill elves like that?"

Russell was a little apprehensive.

Bad Day looked like he didn't care: "Look, you've been fooled too."

"In this technique, the hands-on time does not have to be zero, and the static time does not have to be three minutes. I don't even have to stand still on the Sky Island...... As long as the Deer Head is still able to enter the Mother Tree system, she will be able to stop the Mother Tree's timer. The technique itself is a trick to confuse them.

"Until now, they have not known that our leader, the 'Deer Head', is 'Torkifat'. Instead, we thought we had a few powerful psionic hackers who were able to develop all sorts of powerful viruses...... Even if they found out, they probably thought we had dropped a 'hoax virus that changed the clock across the island.'"

"Huh. If they think they've solved the problem, they're falling into a trap. ”

"But," Russell always felt that something was missing, "you also said that ordinary killing is pointless. ”

"Yes. That has to do with Miss Millynn's mission.

"What that drone is loaded with is a program that can completely 'destroy' them - a real virus."

"Virus?"

"That's right, a memory virus. It is capable of radiating a certain area around it, and as soon as any elven director is in the vicinity of the device for even a minute, the device will intercept the memory packets emitted by their 'memory synchronization'. And type in a little bit of a seemingly meaningless image before spitting it out seamlessly.

"After the memory of these images is decoded by the 'mother tree' system, they will become some data that only exists in the form of code in the mother tree system. After a memory integration, they will temporarily merge with the previous memory...... This part of the redundant data will not be deleted until the next memory integration.

"If Kamalse's death happens to happen to be on this day, this virus can destroy the elves' 'heritage'.

"To put it simply...... According to the original 'reincarnation' process, the elves will destroy the original host's personality to ensure that the new personality born after the fusion of memories can be synchronized with the maximum proportion of memories, that is, the memories passed down from generation to generation by the elves.

"But this virus, designed by the deer head, will make this step go in reverse. That is, instead of manually destroying the personality and mind of the original host, it inhibits the expression of the elven personality in turn. It's like a giant machine where only a small electrical signal is reversed...... But even then, it can lead to the collapse of the entire machine.

The other elves would not be aware of this, because by the next day, their memories would be restored to their original state in a new part of memory integration; Kamalser himself doesn't feel anything wrong, because it's the memory packs he uploads that are intercepted, and his body doesn't feel anything.

"- Yes. Since it is very difficult to do something to the elves themselves, it is better to transfer their thoughts to their 'memory'. ”

“…… That's why the Tower of Babel is called a memory thief syndicate? ”

"It has nothing to do with that. But when you say that, I realize...... We seem to have done a lot of work on memory.

"After all, there's no point in killing elves."

He showed a cold smile: "What is to be killed is their inheritance—to implant heterogeneity in the spirit of the undead." ”

That's pure hatred.

Doing everything in your power to destroy something, and smiling with the end result.

For some reason, Russell suddenly thought of Tovatus.

His freedom...... Is it because of "love" or "hate"?

"Don't talk about that—[the barber]. Now let's confirm our plans. ”

When it came to business, Bad Day's expression suddenly became cold.

Now it looks like some of the "most vicious criminals in the world".

"At full play, we only have three minutes. You have to be after zero o'clock before you can appear in front of Kamalse.

"Entice him to take off his glasses, but not use a time-lapse spell. It's best to keep him in place.

"That way, I can decapitate him from a long distance."

Speaking of this, Bad Day paused: "Or, you can also not show up." ”

“…… Why can't it appear again? ”

"I didn't say you can't, it's just that I don't recommend it. Kamalse's spells are too dangerous...... Once you fall for that spell, you will surely die. You have a heavy responsibility and you don't have to risk the happiness of others. ”

Bad Day whispered, "What's more, even if you succeed in saving other people's lives...... He won't know what sacrifices you've made or how much risk you've taken.

"No one will know about your merits, no one will give you a round of applause. You will just disappear into this world out of thin air, and there is no point in dying. ”

"Anyone's death can be meaningless. No one is born nobler than anyone else, and there is no need to force his death to be more meaningful than others. ”

Russell shook his head.

He didn't approve of Bad Day's remarks, because he didn't think he was anything special.

"Singers and idols need applause, but I don't.

"I just have to do what I think is right."
