Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 211: New Mission Plan

"Kanon, how about you? Was Xiao Xue successfully saved?"

"It was actually quite dangerous. Once you enter the nightclub, you're treated like a slave and can't leave..."

Kanon briefly summarized her progress.

When she described how she used a story to dissuade the pervert from killing, both Gu Yi and Dennis expressed their admiration.

"That actually worked?"

"You're really clever."

"I was just lucky," Kanon said, rubbing the back of her head. "Oh, I wanted to ask you something, Mr. Gu. How did you get Xiao Xue out of the nightclub?"

"Kidnapping."

"That could be risky. The nightclub owner is vicious, and he has a lot of thugs. I even saw some with guns. He treats the hostesses like slaves and commodities. If you take Xiao Xue away, you might face retaliation..."

"I'm already on Er Gou's turf, and I can ignore the rules and use my skills freely. So, I'm not worried about retaliation. Besides, I've gained Er Gou's complete trust, so I can gather more information for us."

Kanon nodded and asked, "So what's our next mission?"

"You both have the opportunity to upgrade to second-level citizens. The next task is to achieve that promotion as quickly as possible.

Didn't Da Luoshan extend an olive branch to you?

You can use this opportunity to advance. You can use the excuse of looking after Xiao Xue to keep her close. She's your leverage; with her by your side, Er Gou won't dare do anything excessive to you.

Additionally, you've gained Constantine's favor while serving drinks. Da Luoshan likely recruited you to use you to get closer to Constantine. You should continue to leverage your talents.

As I've mentioned, you're the one most likely to have contact with high-level citizens. We need you to gather intelligence from the higher-ups."

Kanon nodded in agreement.

After finishing his instructions, Gu Yi turned to Dennis.

"How are you feeling now?"

Dennis touched his wound and calmly replied:

"I have a zombie physique, so my survival ability is extremely strong. Even if my head were cut off, I could survive for three days like a cockroach. However, the downside is that I can't eat normal food and have very little resistance to mental contamination."

"To make my skill origins plausible, the system assigned me the identity of a modified human. I've secretly investigated these so-called 'modified humans,' but so far, I've found nothing. It seems only high-level citizens have access to that information.

Having completed the mission, the chief will likely arrange for my upgrade when I return. What should I do next?"

Gu Yi nodded and raised two fingers.

"I have two goals for you.

First, after upgrading to a second-level citizen, find a way to stay within the police force.

Second, gather intelligence within the police force, focusing on two main areas:

1. The punishment records for 'Chen Zeyu' over the past twenty years.

2. The punishment records for 'Gu Yi' over the past twenty years."

"Wait, isn't your name Gu Yi?" Dennis asked curiously. "And who is Chen Zeyu? Did I miss part of the plot?"

"Chen Zeyu is Er Gou. However, the name 'Chen Zeyu' has been declared 'dead' in Wapeng, so he had to use the name Er Gou.

Upon entering this world, I inherited the social relationships and reputation from the previous dungeon. Chen Zeyu was my roommate in that previous world.

To my surprise...

I didn't completely follow the previous world's timeline but just skipped twenty years ahead. During those twenty years, both Chen Zeyu and I underwent drastic changes.

The missing twenty years may be key to uncovering the truth behind this dungeon.

If you can infiltrate the police ranks, investigating these matters will be much easier for us."

Dennis responded, "Knowing the name alone isn't enough. In this world, names and IDs are separate things. At the police station, I can only look up things using IDs."

"Exactly, and that's what puzzles me," Gu Yi continued. "Everyone guards their name as if it's more important than their life.

In a previous deduction, I mentioned my name, and as a result, I was killed in my sleep.

Based on this, my hypothesis about names and IDs is:

1. A person's name is their true essence.

If their name is exposed, it's equivalent to losing their life, as it would mean others could kill them at any time.

2. The ID is a brand marked on citizens by the Unspeakable.

The Unspeakable uses IDs to manage and control citizens, utilizing them to better manage registries and enforce the citizen ranking system."

"In Wapeng, many tasks are handled by robots and AI. For these machines, using IDs is indeed easier than using names.

Knowing just the names does complicate the investigation, but it's unavoidable. I can't say exactly how we should proceed. I'll also keep communicating with Er Gou to see if I can uncover what happened during those missing twenty years. By tackling it from both sides, our efficiency should improve."

"I understand," Dennis nodded, fully trusting Gu Yi's plan.

In this despairing world, having an experienced adventurer like Gu Yi leading them could help them avoid many pitfalls.

"Alright then... let's all strive to clear this dungeon successfully."

"Good luck!"

The group confirmed some more details of their plan and then exited the Hive space when the time was up.

Gu Yi opened his eyes.

A police officer stood in front of him, holding a cut phone line.

"You psycho, I cut the phone line, and you're still holding the receiver?"

"I was just playing house; is that illegal?"

"Uh... I guess not."

With a sneer, Gu Yi left the police station and headed to the back backyard of the casino.

Er Gou sat under the skylight, looking lost in thought. The room behind him was Xiao Xue's.

"She hasn't woken up yet?"

"No..."

"Do you think the nightclub people will come after her?"

"I don't know," Er Gou replied. "Don't worry; as long as I'm here at the casino, they won't dare send anyone."

"Of course, I trust you."

Er Gou hesitated, wanting to check on Xiao Xue, but lacked the courage. He looked at Gu Yi for help.

"Haa.. should I go in?"

"Um... please do."

Gu Yi shrugged and pushed open the door to Xiao Xue's room. She still had her eyes closed, but Gu Yi's keen mental sense told him she was awake.

"Why are you pretending? You're awake, aren't you?"

"Why did you kidnap me?" Xiao Xue dropped the act, opening her eyes and angrily berating Gu Yi. "You lowlife! How dare you hit me?"
