Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 104: Strategy Team Meeting

Inside the Strategy team's research facility.

Xiao Ling lay inside a gigantic spindle-shaped device, her eyes tightly shut, looking as if she were asleep. This device was designed to neutralize weird powers, a recent research product from Dragon Country.

She still had some residual weird energy on her, and it had to be dealt with before she could be buried.

Gu Yi peered through the window and recognized Xiao Ling. She looked exactly like the younger sister he saw in the dungeon.

"Leader, can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"Why do people live?"

"Haa..."

Qu Kangping scratched his head, utterly puzzled by what Gu Yi was trying to convey.

Maintaining the mental health of adventurers was a vital responsibility of the Strategy team. Gu Yi's question indicated that he had experienced something deeply disturbing in the dungeon.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I don't know."

"Even ants cling to life, why shouldn't people cherish theirs?"

Gu Yi paused for a moment, then smiled, "Anyways, Thank you. If you hadn't resolved Xiao Ling's resentment in the real world, I wouldn't have been able to clear the dungeon."

"We're just glad we could help."

"Leader, can you gather all the Strategy team members? I'd like to hold a meeting to discuss some matters. Oh... and could you provide a list of all the adventurers in Dragon Country for me? Note that I mean all of them, including those who have passed away and those who are still alive."

"Why?"

"I've rested enough. Now, it's time to get to work. Opportunities are fleeting, and there's no time to waste."

Gu Yi nodded and walked straight to the conference room.

Qu Kangping lit a cigarette and signaled to Ah Jian with a flick of his finger, "Do as he says."

"Yes."

"Also, prepare three fishing rods and put them in the trunk of my car."

"Huh? What are you planning?"

"Just do as I said and don’t ask unnecessary questions."

Inside the conference room.

Gu Yi sat at the far end of the conference table, busily scribbling down notes.

Everyone who walked into the conference room looked at him with admiration, greeting him spontaneously.

"Hello, Master Yi."

"Master Yi..."

"Stop calling me 'Master Yi'," Gu Yi put down his pen and paper, quickly interrupting them. "It might not sound awkward for you to say it, but it feels awkward for me to hear. Just call me Gu Yi."

Qu Kangping, sitting next to Gu Yi, waved his hand to signal everyone to settle down. "Alright, take your seats. Today's meeting isn't hosted by me. Gu Yi will handle it completely. Please, Gu Yi."

Gu Yi nodded, moved to the podium, and adjusted his collar slightly.

"Firstly, I want to thank all of you for your assistance. Without your help, I fear I might have been torn to pieces in the previous dungeon Thank you."

Gu Yi bowed in respect.

Everyone nodded in acknowledgment, returning the gesture.

Gu Yi held a large stack of documents and notes in his hands, glancing at them as he spoke.

"About the weird world, I have some new information to announce.

1. Regarding the role of the host.

Previously, everyone believed that the host's only role was to manage the dungeon and select adventurers. Few adventurers in the world have ever seen the host alive, but I have successfully met them and returned alive.

I believe this is related to my awakening of a relatively rare talent. My talent has the ability to foresee, which may have a significant impact on the weird world. Therefore, the host has given me a lot of special care.

I speculate that the host is more like the manager of the dungeons. They can design the dungeons and adjust the power parameters of the dungeons. However, they must follow even more rules than adventurers.

For example, they cannot directly kill adventurers. The only thing they can do is increase the difficulty level of the dungeon.

2. About the identity of the host.

It has been speculated before that NPCs in the dungeon might be dead adventurers, but the truth might be even more horrifying. Valuable adventurers, after dying, may return to the weird world and become a host.

The host once invited me to join them, but I refused.

3. The relationship between reality and the weird world.

Last time, we collaborated and successfully completed a dungeon.

This proves that the weird world and the real world interfere with each other. If the weird world's dungeon is not successfully completed, the creatures of that world will invade reality. If we can find the unspeakable prototype in reality, we can also weaken the monsters in the weird world.

In the future, we have another method to counter the weird world, and that is to find corresponding weird events in the real world. Of course, this only applies to dungeons with Earth as the background, as there are many dungeons from parallel universes in the weird world.

4. Investigation of the host's identity and a capture plan.

As I mentioned, the host is a former adventurer and must adhere to the basic rules of the weird world.

The weird world and the real world interact. A dungeon is opened every seven days, and when an adventurer successfully completes two consecutive dungeons, they have the opportunity to return to the real world for rest.

Therefore, I boldly hypothesize – the host also has a seven-day rest opportunity.

Think about it, everyone.

Who is leading the fanatics in the real world?

Who is teaching the fanatics about weird powers?

Is it really as they claim, raving of so-called gods? Many of you have been to the weird world. You've only heard unspeakable's raving, but when have you seen the director take action himself?

How could the fanatics form such a scale without a powerful host behind them?

If the host doesn't have informants in the real world, how would he specifically send bookworms to obstruct your investigation?

Therefore, starting now, we will investigate all adventurers, with a particular focus on those who have died.

The host I encountered incorporated many elements from the Dragon Country's cultural sphere when designing the dungeon world. I believe he is very likely one of our country's people, so we can prioritize investigating adventurers from our own country.

After we adventurers return to the real world, we can no longer use our abilities, and I suspect the same goes for the host. However, when we capture him, we must not let our guard down. Although he may not be able to use his abilities, it doesn't mean he can't use weird items.

Next, we need to identify the suspects within one day. By the second day, we should finalize our capture plan and execute it. He is cunning, so we must be fully prepared."

After saying all this, Gu Yi finally put down his notes.

Looking up, he realized that everyone in the room was intently focused on him.

Their expressions were a mix of admiration, confusion, and shock, making Gu Yi feel somewhat uneasy.

"Uh? Did I say something wrong?"

Gu Yi turned his head to the side and nervously adjusted his collar again.

Qu Kangping felt a sting on his finger and, looking down, realized that his cigarette had burned down to his fingertips.

Gu Yi's speech was so captivating that everyone lost track of time.

"Gu Yi, come down. You don’t need to be involved in the investigation and capture tasks."

"Huh?" Gu Yi looked at Qu Kangping, "What do you mean, Leader? Did I do something wrong? Or was there a flaw in my reasoning?"
