"At that time, many nobles in the box hadn't gone to the restroom either, and they had drunk a lot of water," Long Yuehong subconsciously replied to Jiang Baimian.

For an adult's bladder, that amount of pressure was nothing.

"Normally speaking, that's true, but since Zhou Guan Master mentioned it, there might be a problem," Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully. "Using water is targeted at those who are afraid of water... turning off the lights and closing the door in the restroom is targeted at those who are afraid of the dark? But this is too complicated, with many useless operations, and the corresponding cost may not be as simple as being afraid of the dark."

Bai Chen thought for a moment and said:

"The most important problem now is how to accomplish this.

"Pouring water is almost impossible. We don't even know who created the 'virtual world' or where they are. We can only hope it rains that day.

"Following Marcus to the restroom in the noble section of the arena and closing the door and turning off the lights isn't the difficult part. The difficult part is how to get him to go."

"No, no, no." Shang Jianyao raised a finger and shook it. "Your action of closing the door and turning off the lights will be pre-filtered in the 'virtual world'. If that person is afraid of similar scenarios, they definitely won't let it truly happen."

Right, Zhou Guan Master's plan is completely unfeasible in the "virtual world"... This time, Long Yuehong actually felt that Shang Jianyao made sense.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"I've already considered this problem and have a corresponding solution."

"How to solve it?" Long Yuehong was very curious.

He couldn't think of a way to bypass the "virtual world."

Jiang Baimian glanced at Genaava:

"In computer terms, it's about disguising harmful data as safe data.

"We can prepare several mobile phones in advance, phones that have access to Initial City's communication network. As soon as they see Marcus go to the restroom, they'll immediately call Old Ge, who's waiting in the distance.

"Over the phone, we'll only talk about normal things that sound absolutely fine and won't raise any suspicion. But within those conversations, I'll embed some data so that Old Ge can use a pre-agreed decryption method to figure out how long to wait before taking action.

"After hanging up, when the agreed time arrives, Old Ge will destroy facilities in the distance or take a more clever approach to directly cut off the power to the arena area!

"That way, the restroom will naturally be dark. Moreover, this is an objective fact that the master of the 'virtual world' cannot prevent, unless their 'virtual world' can cover Old Ge two or three kilometers away. That, that would be too terrifying. It would involve too much data. As long as that person hasn't entered the 'New World,' they shouldn't be able to do it."

Awakened who enter the "New World" wouldn't be active on the Greylands.

Jiang Baimian paused for a moment and then said with a smile:

"Or, they've mastered our agreed-upon code and can hear the hidden key information in our normal conversation. But that's impossible. They're not an Awakened in the 'Endling' domain who can access our memories."

Hearing this, Long Yuehong had already thought of terms like "virus," "Trojan horse," and "information disguise."

It could be done like this? He then realized that the knowledge he had learned could not only be used on electronic products, but also be brought into reality.

Especially the remote power outage trick, which completely bypassed the filtering mechanism of the "virtual world"!

I say, "Let's have breakfast together at eight tomorrow," and the "virtual world" will definitely not filter out any problems. But in Old Ge's ears, who has pre-mastered the "codebook," this sentence is equivalent to "cut off the power in eighty seconds"... This is truly more and more amazing the more I think about it... Long Yuehong instantly had the feeling of learning as long as he lives.

Shang Jianyao then looked at Jiang Baimian in surprise and said:

"Are you a senior?"

What he meant was:

Are you also an electronics major?

"I'm self-taught," Jiang Baimian said with a soft laugh.

Clearing her throat, she said seriously:

"So, the focus is not on how to close the door and turn off the lights, but on how to get Marcus to go to the restroom."

The "Old Task Force" members fell into a brief silence, each stimulating their brains, trying to find a suitable solution.

After a moment, Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his chin:

"Consider social engineering?

"Bribe or persuade Marcus's servants to give him a laxative or diuretic in advance?

"Doing it directly definitely won't work. Those items will be filtered by the 'virtual world.' But we can disguise these things, for example, by getting rhubarb that nobles often eat, and completing this outside the 'virtual world.'"

Rhubarb itself has the effect of causing mild diarrhea, and the master of the "virtual world" shouldn't be able to tell whether its effects have been enhanced by external things, and will simply copy the information.

"That's a way," Jiang Baimian nodded. "But it's not very practical. We can't stipulate that Marcus must eat rhubarb on the day he watches the arena. With his caution in drinking less water and not going to the restroom, he probably won't eat similar foods on the day he needs to go out. Also, servants going out to buy things will indeed step outside the coverage of the 'virtual world,' but we can hardly be sure if this is a trap."

Genaava agreed with Jiang Baimian's statement:

"The feeding plan is too idealistic.

"However, I think the focus is correct. 'Information disguise' is a good direction. We can disguise harmful things that can cause diarrhea or frequent urination as safe things to pass through the screening of the 'virtual world.'"

Bai Chen had a flash of inspiration:

"I remember hearing some ruin hunters mention that some foods are fine to eat separately, but if eaten together, they can cause allergies, diarrhea, vomiting, and other conditions."

"Yes, cephalosporin and alcohol," Shang Jianyao gave a specific example.

This was often mentioned in Old World entertainment materials.

"There's also a problem with that," Jiang Baimian analyzed again from the perspective of feasibility. "If he eats it at Marcus's house, he might go to the bathroom frequently before leaving and decide to cancel his subsequent plans. If we put one of the foods in the VIP box at the arena, you also know that he doesn't even drink much water."

The discussion fell into a standstill again. The five members of the "Old Task Force" encountered an insurmountable obstacle on the issue of how to get a normal person to go to the restroom.

To stimulate inspiration, Jiang Baimian told Shang Jianyao not to be constrained by food and to freely express his ideas.

"I'll pass by him every five minutes and go to the restroom to induce his interest."

"Going to the restroom doesn't necessarily mean going to the toilet. There are other possibilities. We can find an opportunity to dirty his pants and let him go to the restroom to clean them."

……

"Figure out his preferences, disguise ourselves as his target, and lure him to the restroom."

"There are fragrance sprays in the noble box. I wonder if the company has developed any diuretic types..."

These plans were all rejected by the other members of the team, and only the last one allowed everyone to reach a consensus on one thing.

That was to send a telegram to the company to see if there were any new products that promote bowel movements or urination—provided they don't need to be eaten and can achieve their purpose through smell or other means.

"Pangu Biology" Security Department replied that they would inquire as soon as possible.

"Phew, everyone relax your brains. Don't be too tense." Jiang Baimian looked out the window. "It's not too late now. Let's go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air."

The air here isn't fresh at all... Long Yuehong muttered in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

The air quality in Initial City has never been very good, except for Golden Apple District and Golden Wheat District, which is closer to the manor area.

And the "Old Task Force" is currently in a safe house in Red Wolf District, near Olive Green District.

Since they had nothing else to do, everyone agreed to go outside and stroll around to relax. After all, the team had previously gone to the Northern Mountain Range and experienced the ruins of Wasteland 13, and were mentally and physically exhausted and tense.

Unlike Olive Green District, not many of the street lights in Red Wolf District were broken, and even at night, people could clearly see the scenery within a certain range.

The pedestrians passing by were dressed differently, some passing by in a hurry, and others strolling leisurely.

"This place has the feeling of the Old World at night," Long Yuehong glanced at the shops open on the side of the street and sincerely exclaimed.

His impressions of the Old World at night came from two places: one was the appearance of Swamp Ruin No. 1 after it was electrified, and the other was some scenes in Old World entertainment materials.

Bai Chen said plainly:

"But many of those working here are slaves."

Long Yuehong was speechless.

Jiang Baimian was about to change the subject casually when she suddenly heard a commotion coming from the direction of Olive Green District.

With her hearing, she noticed a burst of rapid running sounds approaching from far away.

Soon, a figure dashed out from a side street and headed towards the alley diagonally opposite.

The figure had brown hair, green eyes, and covered his mouth with a scarf.

As he ran, the black trench coat on his body fluttered slightly.

An accomplice of the assassin in the arena assassination case? A suspect in the citizen assembly bombing? Long Yuehong's heart moved, and he turned his gaze to the street the man had run out of.

Deep in that street, several Security Officers were chasing after him with pistols and batons.
