Chapter 103 Looking for traces

Yu Xiufeng reviewed the two dream narratives about Mu Jie again and said, "At least we can now confirm that the 'round-faced student' is a male and has a connection with Mu Jie; the two are likely to have a conflict."

"That's right," Zheng Han nodded. "This shows that the newly constructed stimulus package is effective."

"I think we can further increase the emotional weighting in the stimulus package," Yu Xiufeng suggested. "William Finch's emotions in the dream are relatively stable, so we should also excite him."

Most of the people present agreed with his proposal, and some immediately put it into action.

About twenty minutes later, Evan Finch entered a dream, and his AI-decoded semantic tagging stream appeared on the screen.

Skipping over the less important details, there is only one dream narrative related to Mu Jie.

[Narrative Reconstruction AI Output]

He slowly stood up and said solemnly, "Stop your rudeness, Jesse! She is qualified to be the guide for anyone here." After he finished speaking, he turned around and bowed to the lady in front of him.

Zheng Han stared at the dream narrative for two seconds, then couldn't help but exclaim, "Come and see!"

He had barely finished speaking when he heard Yu Xiufeng's excited voice ring out in his ears: "So 'student' and 'round face' are two different people! They're a man and a woman!"

Zheng Han turned her head and saw that everyone had gathered around.

He also became quite agitated, pointing at the large screen and saying, "We've all been misled by AI!"

"Yes, nobody noticed that!"

"It's true that AI has both made us and broken us."

Before falling into a deep coma, Mu Jie left behind four valuable dream narratives. The AI ​​sorted them according to their content and context, forming a long, interconnected narrative.

However, the content of dreams is actually chaotic. It does not strictly follow the chronological order, and there is no rigorous logical relationship between the various narratives.

When they examined the four dream narratives again, they found that none of them indicated that the young man Mu Jie saw on the bamboo chair was the same person he saw when he stood up from the "cabin".

"Everyone, stop reminiscing!" Zheng Han waved to the experts. "We need to adjust our strategy immediately!"

He was in charge of the work in the decoding operations room, and he was always on edge, so he quickly calmed down.

"Clearly, 'The Student' is William Finch's contact," Zheng Hanxian stated his analysis. "And 'Round Face' is Evan Finch's contact—no! Her identity is probably even higher!"

"That's right, this 'round-faced lady' is an extremely important person!" Ma Youren agreed.

"The description 'He looked around' is likely a response to the newly produced Stimulus Package #2."

As Zheng Han spoke, she flipped to William's first dream narrative. "I think either William Finch had never seen 'Round Face,' or Mu Jie's description of 'Round Face' was completely inconsistent with his understanding, which is why he had this reaction."

Yu Xiufeng, Zheng Han's long-time partner, immediately understood his meaning: "So we will only use Stimulus Pack 1 on William next, which will reduce interference and may allow us to obtain a more in-depth and detailed dream narrative."

"That's right!" Zheng Han nodded. "For Evan Finch, we need to use the special No. 2 stimulation pack, but I think it's necessary to make some adjustments."

"What does Teacher Zheng think should be adjusted?" someone asked.

Zheng Han lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

In the dream narrative of Evan Finch that just appeared, the mysterious "round-faced lady" only flashed by once, without any details.

This is likely due to a firewall in Evan's subconscious mind at work, which is why the dream ended there.

Therefore, continuing to amplify Mu Jie's emotions in the dream might be useful for William, but not necessarily for Evan, because the status of "student" and "round face" in their hearts, or rather, in the organization, is obviously very different.

Or perhaps we could ask Teacher Wei for advice?

But Zheng Han quickly dismissed the idea. Wei Hongsi had already provided the solution and proven it to be effective; they couldn't possibly rely on him for specific instructions, could they? Path dependency was unacceptable.

Moreover, the opportunity to try and fail is only once every two hours, so doing so is also a way of shirking responsibility.

While Zheng Han was thinking, everyone else, except for those busy modifying Stimulus Package No. 1, was also pondering, and the operations room became somewhat quiet for a moment.

Yu Xiufeng walked over to Zheng Han and asked, "Shouldn't we brief the leadership team on the latest developments?"

Zheng Han snapped out of his daze and realized that this was absolutely necessary: ​​"Yes, you should report this to your superiors immediately."

"Okay." Yu Xiufeng nodded and went to the duty room to make a phone call.

Although they have not yet obtained any leads that could identify the suspect, it is already a major discovery that must be promptly communicated to the leadership team so that they can make advance arrangements for subsequent actions.

As Zheng Han watched Yu Xiufeng walk away, she couldn't help but wonder what Wei Hongsi would do if it were him.

Wei Hongsi had previously asked someone to tell them that the "round-faced student" might be female, which was half of the guess. He probably didn't expect that there were two suspects, and one of them had a very special identity.

If it were him, he would probably consider using this. So how should he use it?

After pondering for a while, Zheng Han suddenly had a bold idea.

At this moment, Yu Xiufeng returned after making the phone call, and Zheng Han discussed it with him first.

"I want to recreate a multimodal stimulus scenario where Evan and the 'round-faced lady' meet alone..."

After listening, Yu Xiufeng pondered for a moment and nodded: "I think it's feasible!"

The two then shared the idea with other experts, who all agreed it was worth trying, and so they quickly got to work.

They took advantage of the window of opportunity in Evan's two dreams to complete the construction of the new stimulus package.

[Multimodal Stimulation Package] - 3

—Evan Finch found himself bathed in a soft, flawless white light, with badges shimmering with silver and blue light floating before him, Dux Lumina shining brightly. As the white light faded, a woman appeared before him.

—Dreamscape Environment: Mu Jie's safe house, emphasizing a sense of sanctity while concealing details.

Zheng Han believes that when Evan clearly knew who the leader described by Mu Jie was, he did not observe him carefully. If he hadn't known, he would have gone through a process of observation.

Judging from Mu Jie's previous dream narratives, it is perfectly permissible to observe and describe the appearance of the "round-faced lady" using internal language, and there is no subconscious firewall blocking it.
