「「……」」

Translation: "……" (just ellipsis). We need to keep the ellipsis as is. Probably output "……". Should we keep the Chinese ellipsis? It's a punctuation. We'll output exactly the same: "……". But we need to output English line; we can keep the ellipsis characters. So line: "……"

Her silence led Xing to believe her puppet had shut down.

Translation: "Her silence once made Xing think her puppet had stopped operating."

"No wonder they're the killers of geniuses. Just one appearance almost ruined the whole project." Heita let out a soft sigh, "Fortunately, it's not a total loss. We successfully invited the fifth genius to join the Simulated Universe project—she refused. Well, knowing the answer is enough."

"Hei… Lady Heita… actually lost to Polka?"

Translation: ""Hei… Lady Heita… actually lost to Polka?""

"Hei… Lady Heita… actually lost to Polka?"

Huihui simply couldn't believe her eyes, but even harder to accept was that Polka's strength was like a demon king's—she retreated unscathed despite the four geniuses' combined effort, almost ruining the Simulated Universe project.

"Weird, we're all geniuses—how can the gap be so big?"

Translation: ""Strange, aren't we all geniuses? Why is the gap so huge?""

"Normal, normal." Hezhen leaned back with his hands behind his head and said lightly, "Geniuses also have their strengths and weaknesses. Polka clearly is a combat‑focused genius among geniuses, her skills all pointed toward assassination, so it's normal that Lady Heita isn't a match for her. I recall Lady Heita once said that compared to Luosi Guwu, she surpasses him in talent and achievement by a notch, but falls short in logic and tactics by three points. It's quite common for geniuses to have strengths and weaknesses across different fields."

Moreover, Lady Heita mentioned before that Polka Kakamu and Division IX Agency seem to have some connection—Division IX Agency is a force related to the Void.

Moreover, Lady Heita mentioned before that Polka Kakamu and Division IX Agency seem to have some connection.

Division IX Agency is a force related to the Void.

"The Void… do you think she used the Void's power?" Huihui tried to recall earlier clues related to the Void; she remembered that someone seemed to have used the Void's power in Pinokangni before, but she's completely forgotten those clues—it's as if someone burned a huge hole in her memory, incinerating all Void‑related content.

Translation: ""The Void…… do you think she used the Void's power?"

"The Unknowable Domain has completely dissipated." Luosi Guwu said, "According to Lady Heita's plan, we originally intended to turn Rupert II's data into the fifth genius and invite him to the gathering, but we never expected it to be the data‑body of the Silent Lord that became active. This poisonous butterfly broke free from the Simulated Universe, not only refusing to cooperate with us, but leaving a mess everywhere."

Heita let out a soft sigh: "Ah… the more I think about it, the more of a shame it is—her probability‑manipulating ability and the Simulated Universe are practically made for each other."

"Whether it's real or not isn't that important; the Silent Lord seems to have the ability to freely manifest along the causal chain. Whether we imitate her data or study her records… frankly, just speaking her name might let her sense us. Tch, she's practically a witch who wields magic. Forget it, we'd better not talk about this anymore."

Screw Guwu asked: "Question: If Ms. Polka doesn't want to join the simulated universe, why did she deliberately fall into our trap?"

Translation: "Luosi Guwu: "Question: since Polka doesn't want to join the Simulated Universe, why did she voluntarily walk into our trap?""

Heita tilted her head, placing her finger on her chin: "Curious? Or just for fun? Or maybe it's revenge for us badmouthing her age behind her back. Look at this messed‑up club—how many of us are even sane? Besides, the ones who almost fell into the trap were actually us, the ones who set it for her."

"You're gonna die, Ishigami!" Fujiwara Chika slammed a hard hand‑down chop onto Ishigami's head, saying, "If you call that monster to the academy, what are you gonna do? You don't think they'll just meekly go back, do you?"

"I'm just curious, and don't you think her cognitive filter is amazing?" Ishigami Yu pointed at his own face, moving his finger from chin to forehead. "If you met her normally, you'd feel she's no different from an ordinary person, you wouldn't notice anything. But when you recall it later, her face is covered with a blurry filter. I initially thought it had something to do with the Mysterious, but turns out it's just pure technology."

"Is that ability to freely manifest along the causal chain also technology?" Koyomi asked curiously. "This power already surpasses spacetime travel, becoming some kind of rule‑based superpower, right? Could it also have the aid of certain star gods?"

Could it also have the aid of certain star gods?

"I'm not sure, but if it's technology, I really can't imagine what kind of tech could reach this level." Shirogane Miyuki set down his steel pen. "Apart from Wisdom, I think she must also be related to other star gods; otherwise this utterly bizarre ability would be too exaggerated. If it weren't for Aha's divine intervention at the end, Lady Heita would have lost even worse."

"Speaking in terms of organic life, we've indeed gone overboard in the simulated universe. However, this isn't pointless; logically, the two valuable collaborators have a weight far exceeding individual safety and operational efficiency."

Translation: ""Speaking in terms of organic life's rhetoric, we've indeed overplayed in the Simulated Universe. But it's not without benefit—logic: the two valuable collaborators carry far more weight than individual safety and operational efficiency.""

Stephen said that after witnessing the Silent Lord's technology, he was 'greatly shocked', and wanted to make a set of facial recognition filters the same as hers. He recounted: 'No longer need to worry about being seen.'

That about Rupert II...

Screw Gum lightly shook his head: "Rupert II's self-made cenotaph, and the floral tribute before the tomb, have shattered our long-held understanding of the anti-organic equation, even of emperors. A friend once told me, 'The differences in individual existence far exceed those between organic and inorganic life.' The anti-organic virus of cross-domain species also corroborates this view."

Although Rupert II is an organic being, differing from sentient machines. But I wish to believe that beneath the anti-organic equation, there still exists an emotion that cannot be buried. Taking this discovery as a premise, the conclusion: the feasibility of writing a program to invert the organic equation is not zero.
