Chapter 259 Are you out of your mind? Ah Hui, don't panic, I'll call for backup! Audience: This script is too crazy!
Ye Yinchuan knew that in the original Pokémon games, the way to help "Bright" recover was to operate his computer.
But I'm not in Zheng Hui's room; I'm doing a live stream online. Can I help him remotely?
"Well, I'm afraid you'll need to contact my colleagues and persuade them to find me, and then use my computer to restart the device."
Zheng Hui knew he could get help from the anchor, so he relaxed a little.
"Okay, send me your colleagues' contact information privately, and I'll contact them right now."
Ye Yinchuan was also clean and efficient.
In the video, "Pipi Zheng Hui" is seen facing the camera, his chubby little hands moving around, looking like a little kid who is secretly playing with his phone.
[Is this for real? This is Zheng Hui?]
[Where is the sound coming from? It feels like lip-syncing.]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible!]
[The acting was so realistic...]
I want to turn my girlfriend into a little Rattata so I can put her in my pocket!
Ignoring what the comments on the live stream were saying, Ye Yinchuan dialed the number of Zheng Hui's colleague.
"Hey, are you Zheng Hui's colleague, Researcher Chen? You might not believe it, but Zheng Hui has turned into Pipi..."
"Ah Hui, stop fooling around! I know it's you. I'm doing an experiment, stop it! Turning into Pipi isn't funny at all!"
beep--
On the other end of the phone, there was a busy tone indicating the call had been disconnected.
Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated: "Ah Hui, do you often joke around with your colleagues?"
In the video, Pipi scratches his head, looking slightly embarrassed, and says, "Occasionally!"
[It successfully made me laugh.]
If this is a script, I hope it's real; if this is real, I hope it's a script!
Ye Yinchuan sighed helplessly. In the game's setting, the character "Zheng Hui" was quite chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). It seemed that although he was refined and courteous in real life, he wasn't actually that much better.
Who in their right mind would dress up as a fossil helmet to connect online, or even use themselves as an experiment?
"Hello, is this Researcher Su..."
"beep--"
"Hello, I'm Zheng Hui's friend..."
"beep--"
"I'm the streamer! Kirby's Treasure Hunt!"
"I'm the King of the League!"
Ye Yinchuan was exasperated by the repeated disconnections.
"I miscalculated, Ah Hui. I didn't expect that even using my streamer persona wouldn't work..."
Whether it was because of the unfamiliar number or because the whole thing about becoming Pipi was too outrageous, Ye Yinchuan sought help everywhere but was met with a rebuff.
"There's no other way, Ah Hui. Give me your address, and I'll register you with the Pokémon Center."
After thinking about it, Ye Yinchuan decided that it would be more reliable to seek help directly from the Pokémon Center.
"good……"
Zheng Hui agreed.
However, at that moment, an alarm sounded from some instrument.
What was that sound?
Ye Yinchuan asked warily.
At this moment, Pipi Zheng Hui's expression clearly became serious:
"This is the program I designed. If there's no operation for a certain period of time, the instrument will automatically shut down and the data will be saved... But then, I might never be able to go back to my original state!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan's nerves immediately tensed up.
It seems this matter isn't as easy as I imagined!
"Why did you design this in the first place?"
"To prevent data loss, and also to save power..."
Haha, this is a huge mess!
[Although turning into Pippi is kind of fun, if I can't turn back, then I'm doomed!]
[Don't mess with that, our researcher Zheng Hui is excellent!]
[The Pokémon world cannot exist without researcher Zheng Hui, just as the West cannot exist without Jerusalem!]
How much time is left?
"About five minutes."
"It's too late!"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but worry about Zheng Hui. It seemed that things might really never go back to the way they were!
But unexpectedly, Zheng Hui was no longer in a hurry:
"If I can't turn back, I can't turn back. Humans becoming Pokémon is a historic moment. If I can be the first case to be preserved and studied, maybe it's fate's arrangement?"
"Well, you're quite optimistic, aren't you?"
"I almost died at the hands of a giant Dragonite last time, so I've become more philosophical about it."
"I think you've lost your mind and aren't even human anymore, are you?"
Ye Yinchuan could tell that Zheng Hui was just trying to find humor in his misery and deceiving himself.
Otherwise, why was he so anxious when he first asked me for help?
"There must be a way... My Heavenly Hands can stroke Pokémon from a distance, but they can't touch their backs..."
Ye Yinchuan's mind raced, searching for a way to break the deadlock in Zheng Hui's case.
But even using all his unique abilities, it seems there's nothing he can do.
"What about the Shadow of the Overlord? Zheng Hui might be considered a Pokémon now. If I could use the Shadow of the Overlord to copy a shadow of Zheng Hui... No, I can't control the Shadow of the Overlord to a high degree. Even if I could create one, I wouldn't be able to operate the computer..."
As the alarms from the instruments grew more frequent, it seemed that Zheng Hui's inability to revert to human form was becoming a certainty...
A flash of inspiration struck Ye Yinchuan, and he seemed to have found a possible way to break the deadlock.
"Kirby, sometimes that's just how fate is. Maybe this is my fate, Zheng Hui's fate. Even if I become Pippi, I can still be studied, or research can continue. Maybe we can find a way to turn back in the future. If there's really no other way, you've done your best..."
"Ah Hui, don't jump to conclusions. Type out the steps to restore it to normal, and things might still turn around."
Ye Yinchuan said with certainty.
"..."
Zheng Hui paused for a moment, then said "Okay".
[No way, is there really a chance for this to turn around? Can the streamer control the machines remotely? Even a script needs to have some logic, right?]
Sometimes I feel like the streamer is making a fool of me... but then he actually does it for real!
[I want to see if this can break the deadlock; is it really some kind of magical technique?]
Ye Yinchuan had already begun the process.
In the live stream, he was frantically typing and tagging a user.
And this user's name is—Digimon!
Has the streamer gone mad?
[Haha, will this help Researcher Zheng Hui?]
[666! Summoning your pet online?]
Does anyone know what this Digimon is?
Ye Yinchuan was actually just trying it out.
If successful, then Zheng Hui's matter should be properly resolved.
If it doesn't work out, then consider it a humiliation and a failure!
"Give me some face, Polygon!"
Ye Yinchuan was too lazy to explain too much to the viewers, because if the Porygon didn't cooperate, no one would believe him even if he explained.
That's right, Ye Yinchuan is now pinning his hopes on that person who once connected with the live stream, who can infiltrate the network, and even emerge from the computer screen.
@Digimon: [Why did you tag me, streamer?]
Ye Yinchuan was delighted when he saw this comment. He clicked on the profile to check, only to find that it wasn't Polymorph at all, but rather a young male fan from his live stream who was impersonating Polymorph.
But the next moment, the Digimon's username changed to "I'm a big idiot".
@IamABigFool:
How did I get this name? Who changed it for me? Oh my god! And I can't change it back!
When this happened, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but laugh.
Because he knew that, most likely, it was a prank by the multifaceted beast, probably to get revenge on someone for impersonating him!
@IamBigFoolNo.2: [Me too! Was Douyin (TikTok) hacked? I just wanted to change my name, and I don't know why it turned out like this!]
@IamBigFoolNo.6: [Me too!]
As more and more "idiots" appeared in the live broadcast room, becoming a common sight, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but chuckle.
If the previous statements were just suspicions, now they are absolutely true.
Finally, a particularly eye-catching comment, featuring a red and blue color scheme and even a 3D effect, appeared in the live stream—
@Digimon: [I'm here, streamer, what's up?]
Seeing these comments, Ye Yinchuan was also a little dumbfounded. This Porygon really knows how to play.
Because this font and style are not available on the Douyin platform itself, and the color scheme and the texture of the building blocks, don't think I don't know, it's your own style!
It is clear that Duobians has tampered with the Douyin platform.
It's worth noting that Douyin (TikTok) has never had any major bugs or been hacked in all these years...
It can only be said that Multibeast itself is the world's top hacker, bar none!
Douyin (TikTok) platform cannot be defended against; it is simply impossible to defend against it.
Clearly, other viewers also noticed something amiss—
[How did you make this font? Why is it so big, and does it even have special effects?]
[This is outrageous! Is this a premium membership? How did this happen? Someone please explain!]
I'm such a fool: [I suspect he's the one with the problem! I changed my Digimon's name, and that's why it turned out like this!]
Ye Yinchuan couldn't care less about the comments, as he had important business to attend to:
"Polygon, my friend is in trouble. He experimented on himself and turned into Pikachu. He needs someone to operate his computer. I asked him to write out the instructions. Can you help?"
@Digimon:
[I know, I've always been here. Actually, I'm quite interested in the fact that humans can turn into Clefairy. Since humans can turn into Pokémon, is it possible for Pokémon to also turn into humans?]
What the hell!
Upon hearing what Polygon said, Ye Yinchuan instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
In the game, Porygon doesn't seem to pose much of a threat.
However, in reality, this thing could very well trigger an omnic crisis and become the next Ultron.
Just thinking about this possibility made Ye Yinchuan a little uneasy. After all, with the abilities of the Multiverse, paralyzing human machinery and networks in all aspects didn't seem like a big problem.
This thing is extremely intelligent and is a Pokémon itself. Who knows, one day it might think that it or other Pokémon should replace humans and rule the world?
Obviously, now is not the time to consider that.
Ye Yinchuan guided, "Polygon, Zheng Hui is a very capable researcher. If he turns into Peeves, his research will definitely be affected..."
@Digimon: [Okay, don't call me Porygonmon outside, just call me Aya.]
Seeing Polygon's lukewarm response, Ye Yinchuan really wanted to kick it and let out a Bruce Lee-style roar:
"Ah, do!"
Ah, right? Is this enough? I asked you to save people, why are you talking nonsense?
Of course, this is just a mini-drama in my head; after all, I still need the help of the Polygon.
At this point, Zheng Hui had already posted the instructions on how to operate the computer.
Digimon: [It's simple, I'll begin. First, let's turn off this annoying alarm and countdown.]
In the realm of the internet, the words of the multi-sided beast have a certain degree of influence, almost like law.
The moment it sent the message, the alarm on Zheng Hui's end stopped.
"The instrument didn't shut down automatically, host. Who is this person? Is he a hacker? That's incredible! Our research institute's network is encrypted!"
Zheng Hui was still in awe.
At this point, the instrument issued a prompt: "Please place the unit that needs to be reverse-transmitted into the preparation area within ten seconds!"
Zheng Hui immediately realized that the reverse transmission of the instrument had been activated, and if his program settings were correct, he would be able to turn back into a human.
"Hey streamer, I'm going!"
Zheng Hui gave a brief instruction, then turned and ran towards the preparation area, which was a transparent device similar to an elevator.
Pipi Zheng Hui ran over quickly, but couldn't reach some of the buttons.
@Digimon: [This researcher is pretty careless. Didn't he consider that after turning into Clefairy, he might not be able to reach the switch? Stop jumping, I've turned it on.]
Almost simultaneously, the door to the preparation area was opened, and Pipi Zheng Hui ran inside. Immediately afterwards, the originally transparent device seemed to have a curtain drawn down, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
[Okay, now that I see this, I know it's probably a magic trick!]
[Indeed, they fooled me at first, and I actually believed it was true. But this whole thing makes it unbelievable. Isn't it just a 'disappearing act' magic trick? They might walk out from another device later, or there might be some kind of mechanism or back door to switch Pipi and Researcher Zheng Hui. Do they really think we won't see through it?]
@Digimon: [Hehe...]
The next moment, the black curtain rose up.
Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow and saw that Pipi Zheng Hui, who was sitting in the device and even fastened with something like a seatbelt, looked puzzled and uneasy, as if asking, "What's going on? What's wrong now?"
However, according to Ye Yinchuan's speculation, it is estimated that the multi-faceted beast couldn't stand these comments and thought they were just talking nonsense, so it planned to refute them with facts.
But Ye Yinchuan was more worried about the design of this black curtain. Surely it had a purpose? Would it prevent researcher Zheng Hui from turning back into a human?
Before Ye Yinchuan could even question it, the device was already activated. Red and green lights flashed incessantly, and rings of light waves emanated from the top of the device, like an alien spaceship trying to suck people away...
Then, Pipi Zheng Hui's body began to twist and gradually disintegrate like data. Then, as if dust was being sucked away, it floated to the top of the device.
[Huh? A sci-fi movie?]
Technology is advancing... Are scripts this sophisticated now?
[I already said, the streamer never plays tricks!]
[Thank you, host... I've never seen anything like this in all my years of online gaming!]
However, something even more outrageous happened next. Pipi Zheng Hui turned into mosaic-like dust and was sucked up. Soon, new "pixels" fell down, but when these pixels piled up together, they turned into a Nidorino!
Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan stretched out a hand towards the screen, feeling somewhat powerless and wanting to say something but unable to. This "Zheng Hui becomes Nidorino" is late but it's here, right?
"Did it work?"
Zheng Hui was somewhat excited, but after touching his face and body and looking at the reflection of his body in the distance, he was dumbfounded:
"Have I turned into a Nidorino?"
[666, is the streamer a prophet? Do you guys remember when Zheng Hui entered the live stream and explained the situation, the streamer asked him one question: "He didn't turn into Nidolino..." That's terrifying to think about!]
My goodness, are scripts this crazy these days? This is absolutely brilliant!
[Thank goodness it's broad daylight; if it were night, I think it would be quite frightening... Speaking of which, if it turned into Nidorino, it wouldn't be as good as Clefairy!]
"Is there... any hope?"
Ye Yinchuan remained silent for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out these words.
Zheng Hui was also on the verge of tears:
"If Nidorino can't turn back, he's really not as agile as Pippi. I can't even type anymore..."
Ye Yinchuan agrees with this point.
Pipi is a fairy, possibly an alien. Don't let its short arms and legs fool you; it can operate and repair spaceships.
Nidolino... what do you expect it to do?
@Digimon: [It's not a big problem. His program had a problem, I fixed it, and it'll be fine after a rerun. Just tell him to stay put.]
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan could only exclaim, "Polygon is awesome!"
It's true that the multi-faceted beast mentioned earlier might be a hidden danger.
But if this Pokémon can genuinely help humanity, then humanity's development in the internet and technology will likely see unprecedented breakthroughs!
Like Zheng Hui's research, even his own program had flaws, but Duobian Beast was able to immediately get started and fix them...
Tell me, isn't that amazing?
Soon, the device activated again, and a burst of pixelation ensued...
This time, Zheng Hui finally returned to human form. He touched his head and then his buttocks to make sure that there were no extra ears, horns, or tails before he felt relieved.
He stepped out of the device, feeling the human perspective and limbs that he had once taken for granted. His eyes were filled with emotion, but also with lingering fear.
"Kirby, Ah-do! Thank you so much! I, Zheng Hui, am human again! It feels so good to be human!"
Zheng Hui was so happy that he danced with joy.
Ye Yinchuan felt relieved and fortunate for the outcome.
@Digimon: [I just absorbed data from Researcher Zheng Hui's computer, and I feel... something's strange...]
Upon seeing the multifaceted beast's statement, Ye Yinchuan's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but feel concerned:
"It feels strange? What kind of feeling is it?"
