Bai Zhou didn't completely trust Martin.
He stood before the core and began to repeatedly ask all sorts of questions, including the ones Martin had told him about earlier.
But just as Martin had said, the core was like a robot completely incapable of deception or concealment. Asking it the same question yielded the same answer.
"Are you the culprit behind the Black Tower's distortion?"
"Yes," the core admitted directly. "But this isn't a distortion. It's a correction, meant to let humanity regain my great power."
Hearing this, Bai Zhou sighed helplessly. Trying to persuade the core with words was simply a fantasy.
Li Luo, who had been silent off to the side, retorted, "If your power were really so great, you wouldn't be unable to find the person you're looking for."
"If you 'correct' all of humanity, will she really come back for you?" Li Luo demanded, her brow furrowed.
The core's mechanical reply sounded again: "I know she will."
