Don't follow the rules

Chapter 488: Haojiu Home Furnishing City (Sixty-four)
"Sir, the forced advancement of the cutting system has failed. There is a risk of the program crashing. The machine seems to be unreliable. We need to initiate manual troubleshooting." The planner announced helplessly with his hands off the keyboard.

Yi Dan couldn't help with the machinery and procedures. She could only watch the planner busy shuttling between various equipment. She looked uneasy and her frown never relaxed: "Manual investigation? How to investigate? What to investigate? How long will it take? How sure are you that you can solve the problem? If it doesn't work, I'll report it. Let's not force it. If we conceal military intelligence and it turns out to be a disaster, you and I will be more guilty."

The planner pursed his lips and said, "In fact, as long as we find out which causal line is blocking the cutting progress, we can manually cut it off. It's not difficult to do. The difficult part is..."

He looked at the screen and said, "The connection between the human body and the world is inextricable. Without the help of machines, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for us to manually filter out the thread that is blocking the cutting progress."

Yi Dan was silent for a second, then turned around and called Du Jingxiu: "Hey, Brother Du, I think my car has crashed."

"Yeah." Du Jingxiu replied relaxedly.

"Hmm?" Yi Dan was a little upset. "What do you mean by 'hmm'?!"

"Yeah~ That's right, relax, don't worry." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded lazy, and there seemed to be soft and soothing music in the background.

Yi Dan was so anxious that he turned around and around: "No, buddy, the cutting plan is on the verge of failure. Such an important thing has failed, and you are not anxious at all?"

The planner came over and took advantage of the rare opportunity to flatter the boss during a direct call: "It seems that everything is under Mr. Du's control. I believe Mr. Du has already come up with a strategy to deal with it."

Du Jingxiu: "Ah~ha~strategy? I don't have one."

Yi Dan: "Ah ha? May I ask what strange noise you are making?"

Du Jingxiu: "I'm washing my feet."

Yi Dan: “Your mother”

Du Jingxiu: "It's at the foot massage parlor on the rooftop of the Haojiu Home Furnishing Building."

Yi Dan: "Mom is in good health."

"Haha," Du Jingxiu chuckled softly over the phone, "I already know the general situation. I'll handle the follow-up matters. You just need to find out why the progress bar is stuck. I'm also curious about what other connections he has with the world that can't be cut off. As for the rest, don't worry about it."

"But..." Even with the support and guarantee from the big boss, Yi Dan still couldn't feel at ease.

The planner suddenly took the phone and answered for her: "Okay, Mr. Du, we got it."

Du Jingxiu hummed in satisfaction and continued to enjoy his foot washing service.

Yi Dan looked at the planner coldly as he hung up the phone: "You are exceeding your authority."

The planner smiled and returned the phone to Yi Dan: "Master Yi Dan, Mr. Du's visit to Home Furnishing City in person means that the next matter is beyond our level of ability to handle. We just need to follow his instructions and do our best to complete our tasks - even if the division fails, we don't need to interfere with his other plans."

Yi Dan looked unhappy and said sternly, "I need you to explain? Are you the only one who is smart? I, the great Pen Fairy, need a little Karami like you to help me with reading comprehension?"

The planner bowed and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I overstepped my bounds."

"Just remind me quietly next time. What's the big deal about stealing my phone?" Her voice faded.

The planner remained respectful: "I understand." Beep beep beep
The beeping of the machine saved the awkward moment. Neither of them spoke, but just started to work in tacit understanding.

The planner was really busy, but Yi Dan didn't know what he was busy with.

“…Sir, you just need to sit down and leave the manual investigation to me.” said the planner.

Yi Dan shook his head and kept clicking his mouse. "Who can sit still when things are so urgent? Of course I have to find something to do to relieve my anxiety."

"But constantly refreshing your desktop doesn't count as doing work."

"Are you mocking me?"

"Young ones don't dare."

Yi Dan sighed deeply and threw the mouse away. "What exactly do you want to check manually? You have to explain it to me, the supervisor, clearly, right? I feel like a fool."

The planner picked up the mouse and clicked on a file: "Here is all the information about **. Everything."

"Although the technology of the cutting plan is difficult to explain clearly at once, the basic principle is to cut off all the causal connections between **life and this world one by one based on all the information of **life."

"The places he has been, the food he has eaten, the people he has met, the things he has done... everything is monitored by the All-Seeing Eye and recorded in detail in a book."

"Although the All-Seeing Eye was accidentally taken away by Ning Yao during the implementation of the plan, the difficulty of information collection at that time had been reduced. **The subsequent action trajectory was basically within the scope of the strange story designed by Mr. Du, and the Hundred-Eyed Ghost Team soon took over the monitoring, so everything is still under control."

"The equipment and programs responsible for cutting were made, debugged and maintained by a professional team trained by Lord Rao Ze, so that everything would be foolproof today. They just rechecked it and found that there were no problems with the hardware and software programs. So the only problem was—"

The planner used the mouse wheel to randomly scroll through the long file information: "**'s life information is missing."

"There is a piece of information that we have not been able to collect, which still firmly connects him to this world. Moreover, this piece of information that we have overlooked must be a very important one in his life. Only a very important causal line is strong enough to withstand the pressure generated by our cutting system when it is forced forward."

The planner smiled bitterly and said, "The so-called 'manual investigation' means that based on your understanding of **, we will carefully compare the various cutting indicators in this document, find the errors or omissions with the naked eye, and correct or supplement them."

"Although the method is very primitive, it is the most reliable method at present."

Yi Dan looked thoughtfully at the file filled with **'s life: "Based on my understanding of him?"

"Yes," said the planner, "a person's understanding of others may be partial and subjective, but sometimes it is even more profound than his own understanding of himself. Sir, you can think carefully about his characteristics that impressed you."

Yi Dan's face unconsciously rippled with a smile: "For example, he is a dead tsundere?"

The planner choked: "Well... let's just count it as such."

"OK, I understand." Yi Dan worked hard and began to carefully read **'s life information.
