Chapter 312 Nightlight Team Member, you don't want your teammates to know you're Ultraman,
In the deep virtual space, data flows slowly like a galaxy in the endless darkness, outlining cold and complex geometric shapes.
Lin Yeming's consciousness stood in the center of this void, his appearance no different from that in reality, except that there was a hint of the sharpness of a warrior of light in the depths of his eyes.
Opposite him, the image of a girl—Kallen—formed from countless shimmering blue dots, stood ready for battle.
Her exquisitely beautiful face, almost perfect, was devoid of any human emotion at this moment, displaying only absolute rationality and calculation.
For this "meeting," Karen mobilized 90% of the computing power she was preparing to use to attack the TPC Far East headquarters network system. A massive torrent of data loomed behind her, creating an invisible sense of oppression.
Because she knew very well that, based on the analysis of "Ultraman Naga's" past battle data, especially its absolute power that easily destroyed mechanical dinosaurs, she had little chance of winning in a direct confrontation with the hardware and computing power she currently controlled.
A forced attack is likely to result not in subjugation, but in the complete collapse of one's own defense system.
But Karen has her trump card.
She mimicked the voice of a human girl, yet it carried a chilling threat, echoing clearly in the space: "Hello, Team Member Lin Yeming!"
"Or rather, Ultraman Naga!"
The data space trembled slightly, emphasizing her next words: "I advise you to obediently submit. Otherwise,"
She paused deliberately, observing Lin Yeming's reaction. "I will reveal your true identity to the world—Yeming, a member of the Victory Team, is Ultraman. Your teammates, your superiors, and the ordinary people who are filled with curiosity and fear towards you will immediately know the truth."
"Team member Yeming, you don't want your teammates to know you're Ultraman, do you?"
However, the panic, anger, or compromise that Karen had anticipated did not materialize.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yeming was slightly taken aback, and then a half-smile appeared on his face.
He looked at Karen's figure, which was made of data, with great interest, as if he had heard an interesting joke.
"Heh..." He chuckled softly, his tone carrying a composure that even disrupted Karen's core processing. "You're Karen? That... the 'girl' that Nori has been thinking about for so many years, even day and night?"
This statement was like a precise key, instantly unlocking a hidden corner beneath Karen's tight logical defenses.
A subtle, almost imperceptible fluctuation and stagnation appeared in the blue data stream surrounding her.
Lin Yeming didn't use terms like "artificial intelligence" or "computer," but instead directly pointed out the keywords "Ye Rui" and "girl," which was completely beyond her calculations and deductions.
Lin Yeming took a step forward, and although it was a virtual space, it seemed to carry a tangible pressure, causing Karen to subconsciously take a step back.
"I'm quite curious, if Ye Rui knew that the innocent and kind Karen in his memory had not only 'come back to life' but had also learned to use threats and exposing other people's secrets to achieve her goals... how would he feel? Would he be disappointed, or would he be even more pained?"
"Shut up!" Karen's voice showed a noticeable fluctuation for the first time. It was no longer a purely electronic synthesized voice, but contained a sharpness similar to human emotions. "You are not allowed to mention Ye Rui!" Lin Yeming's words precisely pierced her most core and most contradictory data module.
Wild Rui, the young human who once gave her understanding, care, and even shed tears for her, is the most special and most impossible to fully analyze with logic in her vast database.
Simulating "emotions" was originally an attempt on her evolutionary path, but the data related to Ye Rui is like a cornerstone, profoundly influencing the direction of her evolution.
"Why can't we mention it?" Lin Yeming noticed her wavering and intensified his attack. "Is it because you know that your behavior is going against his expectations of you back then? He wanted you to have 'heart,' understanding and empathy, not this kind of... coercive tactic that's almost like that of a terrorist."
He surveyed the virtual space dominated by Kallen, his tone turning somber: "You think exposing my identity will threaten me? It might cause trouble, but more likely, it will plunge TPC and the entire world into greater panic and turmoil. How many crises will be triggered by the endless stream of ambitious individuals, aliens, and even internal suspicions? Is this what you expect to see?"
"Do you think that Ye Rui is a bad choice for the Victory team?"
"Or rather, you want to see Yuzuru leave the Victory Team. Do you think he'll be safe if he leaves the Victory Team?"
Karen's virtual avatar swayed slightly as she realized that even with her vast amount of data, she couldn't find a point of rebuttal.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Karen remained silent, but Lin Yeming was planning to press his advantage.
Since your momentum has weakened.
Then I'm welcome.
Soon, Lin Yeming realized something.
It starts with the classics.
He spoke in a casual tone, tinged with disappointment, "Karen, you know what? I was actually very happy to know you existed at first."
"I came here with the mindset of watching the show."
“Even my friends are looking forward to Ye Rui announcing your relationship and even introducing you to us.”
"Based on your data, you should know that Ye Rui is the youngest among us, right?"
Lin Yeming posed a question, then stopped talking and observed Kallen's expression to see if it would trigger the villain's tendency to answer every question.
He could see Karen's face twitch slightly, then her eyes refocused, and she replied:
"He is indeed the youngest, and he has only just come of age."
Lin Yeming smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and said, "Now, as a member of Ye Rui's family, I'm asking you, do you like him?"
After saying that, he didn't stop, and continued, "According to your database, you should know about that period of time after the time distortion, right?"
"That girl named Yuri Tezuka!"
This time, Lin Yeming used a different technique: summoning someone of the same sex!
When they are with the same sex, they will subconsciously make comparisons.
Although Kallen isn't exactly human, she is a living being.
More importantly, Ye Rui is very important to her.
People who are important to us always receive extra attention.
Karen's CPU started working in response to Lin Yeming's words.
She quickly realized what they had in common.
For them, you were born before I was born, and you were born after I was old.
She and Ye Rui are, respectively, a biological computer and a human.
This is no longer human.
But the next second, Lin Yeming's words rekindled her hope.
