Chapter 858: 858 Chapter: The Monitored Room
“Storage chip? Are you sure?” Lin Shen was slightly startled as he asked the staff mber.
“I’m just guessing because the interface is different, so we can only try it with more primitive thods. I’m just afraid of damaging the chip,” the staff mber replied.
“That’s alright, just give it a try. It would be best if we can confirm it’s a storage chip, but it’s okay if it gets destroyed,” Lin Shen felt indifferent.
Hearing Lin Shen say this, the staff mber took the chip and started fiddling with various instrunts.
Lin Shen saw that these instrunts printed out so structures on the chip, and soon, a holographic image was projected from one of the devices.
“Mr. Lin Shen, I was right, it is a storage chip and there’s even a holographic image in it,” the staff mber said excitedly.
...
“Well done,” Lin Shen pulled out a Pet Capsule and tossed it to him, “Thanks for your hard work.”
“Mr. Lin Shen, how could I accept this, considering your relationship with our Star Lord? I really shouldn’t accept your gift,” the staff mber, holding the Pet Capsule, hesitated indecisively.
“Take what’s given to you. Try it and see if you like it, and if there’s anything you don’t understand about how to control it, co and find ,” Lin Shen said.
“All right, Mr. Lin Shen, this instrunt can directly be controlled by the Smart Brain. Just command it to show whatever you want to see,” the staff mber, who was rather clever, quickly took the Pet Capsule and left.
Lin Shen instructed the Smart Brain to open the chip’s storage space, and sure enough, he saw several video files, though the format was quite ancient and a bit different from the currently popular formats.
Fortunately, the Smart Brain’s player was quite advanced and was able to play these older formats easily.
Imdiately a video was projected holographically. Lin Shen initially thought that the video’s content might be related to the Moon Rabbit Clan. Otherwise, why construct a statue of the Moon Rabbit Clan?
He had previously seen videos of the Moon Rabbit Clan and knew that the entire race, along with their planet, had vanished. Only a few Moon Rabbit Clan mbers who were scattered were struggling to survive in the cosmos.
Perhaps the content on the chip was related to the Moon Rabbit Clan, or possibly linked to the mystery of their disappearance.
However, the video projected wasn’t of the Moon Rabbit Clan but an empty room.
The room wasn’t large and looked sowhat ssy with various items laid out, the most conspicuous being the television set in the middle of the wall.
It was an old-fashioned big-head television, rarely seen even on the human ho planet.
At the height of human technology, although it hadn’t reached the level of holographic projection, standard projection and LCD TVs were quite advanced.
Inside the room were a sofa and a coffee table, with nurous items such as books and clothing set atop it.
The video continually displayed this single scene, making Lin Shen think the video wasn’t playing at all.
He checked and realized the video was indeed playing because the scene was static with no changes, thus making it seem still.
Just as Lin Shen was growing impatient and was about to ask the Smart Brain to speed up the video, he suddenly saw a figure enter the fra.
“Mosaic?” Lin Shen stared at the figure appearing on the screen, which was just a blur of pixels. He couldn’t tell at that mont if the mosaic was inherent to the video or a Fire Seed mosaic.
Lin Shen couldn’t discern it imdiately and had to patiently continue watching. He only saw that mosaic-shaped figure walking around the room, eating sothing, then lying on the sofa.
At one mont, the figure was wearing head-mounted ears, listening to sothing, and at another, turned on the TV to watch a program.
After waiting a while, that person actually took out an old ga console from the TV cabinet, connected it to the big-head color TV, and started playing an ancient ga.
Lin Shen watched him play the ga, which seed quite archaic as he killed monsters, and after each death, a text ssage popped up claiming certain items.
After observing for a while, he just kept gaming, sotis sitting, sotis lying down, and even placing the controller on the floor to play with his feet.
Watching this, Lin Shen felt sothing was off. It had been quite a while, and still, the video hadn’t ended.
“Speed up,” Lin Shen asked the Smart Brain to speed up the video, wanting to see if there was anything valuable later in the footage. Watching a mosaic figure play such an old ga wasn’t what Lin Shen wanted.
“Video damaged, cannot fast forward,” the Smart Brain responded to Lin Shen.
Lin Shen was slightly startled, “Whether the video is damaged or not shouldn’t affect its ability to fast forward. Even if the video is damaged, it should still be able to fast forward.”
The Smart Brain answered, “The video has underlying logical controls, cannot accelerate.”
“How long is this video?” Lin Shen pondered and asked again.
“Three hours,” the Smart Brain answered.
Lin Shen slightly frowned. Three hours without the ability to fast forward, just watching a person play gas in there was quite boring.
Thinking it over, Lin Shen had the Smart Brain turn off the video, planning to watch another one instead.
Opening a new video revealed another room, which was significantly more luxurious. The various lavish furnishings and decorations made it resemble a five-star hotel lobby.
If not for the grand bed placed inside, it would be hard to tell it was rely a room because it was so large.
Lin Shen watched for a while as the scene showed no changes. Thinking it might be like the previous video, with soone appearing after a while, but no one did. After over ten minutes, the scene remained as static as ever.
Lin Shen again asked the Smart Brain to fast forward, receiving the sa response that it couldn’t accelerate due to a fundantal logic error.
Lin Shen had no choice but to switch to different footage, surprised to find that these videos all showed different rooms.
This gave Lin Shen a feeling of watching surveillance footage, as if soone was monitoring these rooms and recording these images.
But except for the first video’s room, the other rooms didn’t even have a person in sight. What was the one filming these monitoring for if there were no people in the rooms?
“Could it be that the videos were taken during the day when most people were out, not at ho, except for the first room’s occupant who was ho?” Lin Shen pondered and made a communication call, summoning Tian Xin over.
“Why are you in such a hurry to bring here? I was really busy,” Tian Xin walked over reluctantly, muttering.
“I need you to help look at sothing,” Lin Shen opened the first video, wanting Tian Xin to help him check if the person in the video had a mosaic.
However, as soon as Lin Shen opened the video, he froze right there.
