Why it never ends

Chapter 148 Gray Domain
"To withdraw money, first of all, you have to apply for a bank card. Most mercury needles will choose Grayscale Bank. Of course, you can choose other banks, but Grayscale's confidentiality will be better.

"Since you are not yet an adult, you need to be accompanied by your guardian to open a bank card-but it doesn't have to be so troublesome. When you are over 20 years old, you can go there with your ID card. It will be a little complicated at first. The procedure will be simple later on.”

"but……"

Hesta hadn't recovered from the shock—how could there be so much money?

"The bonus for a single critical battle is about 10 to 50, and the middle risk is 1 to 10. If you think the number is wrong, you can calculate it yourself later." Ava narrowed her eyes, "...you really never Have you checked your account?"

"No."

"Haven't you spent any money in these years?"

"Spent it," Hesta replied, "Miss Chiba gave me a secondary card, and she said that if necessary, she can directly pay her account."

Ava understood.

"Speaking of Chiba, Jane, I have to show you something."

Her hand tapped on the keyboard, and soon a page opened - it was the appointment letter Chiba got from the 004 office, and from now on, she will return to Tanyi to participate in Hough as an AHgAs aid worker Mann case investigation.

A moment of astonishment flashed in Hesta's eyes, "...Why did Miss Chiba get involved? Didn't the coalition government already send a team of their mercury needles?"

"Are you surprised?" Ava looked at her, "I had a hunch when Qianye came here to see you last time... I guess it was her request, to prove your innocence personally."

Hesta checked the relevant documents again, and carefully read Chiba's responsibilities in this case.

"...It's too dangerous." Hesta couldn't help shaking her head. "She is still my guardian. If I accidentally get caught halfway, how can she explain it? Why didn't Office 004 reject her request? She should To avoid suspicion."

"Qianye is a person who is difficult to refuse." Ava said softly, "I guess, she should have thought of going with you: after the Hoffman case, the few nobles in Tanyi City You will definitely realize that it might be you. Once they tell the story of the past and confirm that the murderer who killed Fernan is the same person who committed the murder in Tanyi City-then your suspicion of committing the crime will be cleared immediately.

"For this, she will definitely participate in Hoffman's investigation."

Hesta lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Can you get Miss Chiba's coordinates?"

"Yes, but it will take time." Ava said lightly, "Her current rank is about the same as mine, so the process will be a little more complicated."

"Ava." Hesta breathed a sigh of relief, "...why do you seem to be able to do anything?"

"I'm not a god, how can I do everything."

"But you just did it all."

"That's because the requests you made are too simple." Ava said softly, "Take the coordinates of Chiba as an example, what do you think I will do? Technically confront AHgAs's data network head-on ?"

"...Isn't that so?"

Ava laughed several times in a row, as if she had heard a very funny joke, "Jane, you overestimate my personal strength and underestimate the technical means of AHgAs. Our intranet is impregnable, and any attempt to get from Enemies who intrude head-on will only be captured by us before they succeed."

Hesta frowned.

"Of course, it's not impossible to break in head-on, but that's not the safest and most convenient method," Ava said softly. "In every era, technology is changing, and the defense of the digital world will only become more and more powerful." Strong, increasingly complex—but all advanced technology has a common weakness."

Ava stopped and stared at Hesta.

"...the person who operated it?" Hesta tried to answer.

"That's right." Ava smiled, "Throughout the ages, no matter how technology changes, people are the same.

"Now I want to retrieve the coordinates of Chiba, I will not think about any heresy at all, I will directly write an email to Office 004, saying 'Chiba is the guardian of Hesta, and may interfere with the investigation in related cases On the grounds of trying to help Hesta get off the crime', he protested against the 004 office allowing Chiba to intervene in the investigation.

"If 004 ​​can directly ask Chiba to quit, that would be the best, but since Qianye can persuade 004 to let her join, it can be seen that he has also given some reasons that 004 feels that he cannot refuse.

"Then, when 004 rejected my request and insisted that Chiba participate in the 'killing photography' case, I could logically ask 004 to grant me Chiba's personal coordinates during the investigation—and I personally supervise her behavior to ensure that she did not violate the rules during the process.

"Got it, Jane?" Ava whispered. "All the while, try to be a righteous friend. You have to be vigilant about everything you're doing behind your back, including the plans you're carrying out—not that Because they have some moral flaws, but these methods often require people to think hard, and they are prone to mistakes due to accidents of one kind or another...At least in front of people, you have to learn to let yourself only tell the truth in any situation.”

"Tell the truth, but lie to everyone?"

"No one can fool everyone, and all lies will be exposed one day, but which truths should be told at the moment, and which moments should be kept silent... You must learn to distinguish.

"Because there is a huge gap between 'how people actually live' and 'how they should live', if a person gives up what ordinary people actually do for what she should do, then she is not saving self, but self-destruction."

Hesta fell into silence again. Ava's words seemed to have some deeper meaning. She felt that she should understand, but she was not sure if she really understood.

If there used to be a line between black and white in this world, then Valenti and Liz are undoubtedly the ones standing at the center of the white world, as is Turan, Rico is slightly on the edge, and Chiba is much more on the edge—even , Ms. Chiba sometimes repeatedly jumps between the black area and the white area.

Today, Ava seems to be saying that there is still a land between the boundaries of black and white, it is gray, and its territory is so vast that it far exceeds her expectations.

Hesta recalled Ava's last words. The old man's voice was low and slow, as if he was reciting "The Mountains Under the Storm" in the glass house that day.

"Is this also in any book?" Hesta asked.

"Correct."

"Which one?"

"The "Origins" I gave you yesterday," Ava looked at her, "Have you read it?"

"...Looked a little at the beginning yesterday."

Ava smiled, "I need to read the books one by one... When is your Judgment Day?"

"November 11."

"Don't think about reading for now, and spend your energy on preparing for inquiries."
