Chapter 533: Guessing Identity

Zhang Zian became suspicious. Judging from the readers' chat records, this prankster appeared in the library chat room this morning. Could it have something to do with the elves that appeared this morning?

The computer system on the fifth floor of the Binhai City Library is self-contained and completely closed to the outside world. The pranksters are definitely on the fifth floor.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Zhang Zian didn't come to study, and his mood was not affected by the prank, but he was faintly excited.

He let Mr. Zhou read at ease, and walked around the aisles on the fifth floor with his mobile phone. This time, he focused on observing the seats in front of the computer, regardless of whether there were people in the seats.

Although he deliberately kept his footsteps light, because he kept holding up his mobile phone as if he was recording a video, readers passing by would more or less look at him with vigilance or annoyance, if it wasn't for the prankster still The same number was typed over and over again in the chat room, Zhang Zian would probably be mistaken for a prankster with a different prank trick.

Zhang Zian ignored all these gazes, and didn't care what these people thought of him. He walked all over the central area of ​​the fifth floor with unparalleled patience, but still found no trace of the elf.

Could it be that this elf is so illusory that you can't even see it on the game capture interface?

Or is it moving? Not fixed in front of a certain computer to type?

When he passed by every idle computer, he would pay attention to the keyboard to see if the keycaps were moving, and he would listen to the sound of typing from the direction of an idle computer... But unfortunately, the library does not support these computers. It is equipped with a floating keyboard like that of a notebook computer. The key travel is very short, and the typing sound is slight. Even if you stand next to the typist, you can't hear any noise.

After walking round and round, Zhang Zian returned to the side of Mr. Zhou who was reading relish. He was worrying when he saw the girl whose ID was in the corner stood up again and quietly waved to him.

He passed by twice just now. This is a fashionable girl whose scalp is dyed flaxen. From the appearance, it is difficult to connect her with her love of reading.

Zhang Zian didn't know what was going on with her, but he didn't want to let go of any possibility, so he walked over quickly.

"Hey, I think you are looking for someone, are you looking for that pi?" When he approached, he asked in a low voice.

Zhang Zian nodded, and also replied in a low voice: "I think everyone is very annoyed by him, so I want to find him out and ask him out of the chat room."

"Oh, are you a library employee?" asked curiously.

"No,

I am an avid reader. "Zhang Zian talked nonsense without changing his face.

Believing it was true, he said with admiration: "I have a few familiar faces here, and I don't know each other's real names, but they will nod and say hello when they meet. I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"

Zhang Zian's face was serious, and he said seriously: "Yeah, on the first day, I think the reading atmosphere here is very good, and a pot of soup won't be spoiled by a single rat droppings—by the way, do you have any clues? Is there any clue that can help me find him?"

After thinking about it in a difficult way, he said: "I am on vacation today. I came to the library very early and planned to read a book here for a day. I was the first to come in when the library door opened. At that time, the number of readers on the fifth floor was definitely not more than Ten."

"Was that person there at that time?" Zhang Zian asked.

Nodded, "Yes, at first no one spoke in the chat room, I typed 'hello, world' casually, and the person followed me with 'hello, world', then appeared, and sent a string of pi, I thought it was The newly popular joke, I ignored him, closed the chat room and started to concentrate on reading. When the number of people on the fifth floor gradually increased, and a few familiar faces appeared, I opened the chat room again and found that everyone was condemning him..."

From the words, Zhang Zian sensitively grasped a key piece of information - that "person" appeared as soon as the museum opened, and the opening time was exactly the same as the time when the game prompted the elf to appear, without any difference.

"And then everyone was just watching? No one tried to find him?" he asked.

He smiled helplessly, "How should I put it, the regulars who come to the library are quite peaceful, even if the most ruthless person in the chat room finds that pi in reality, I'm afraid they will only talk to him politely. Reasonable. A library is not a vegetable market, and not all of the hundreds of readers on the fifth floor are chatting in the chat room, maybe even less than half of them. Their disgust, so what is the difference between us and the pranksters? The impact is even worse."

Well, Zhang Zian admits that what she said makes sense. Likes flock together, and people are divided into groups. People who often come to the library to receive the influence of ink incense must have a more peaceful personality, and they are well versed in the Confucian way of self-cultivation. No one wants to be the first bird.

"Of course, we didn't do nothing." Added, "Several people went to the service desk to explain the situation to the library staff, asked the staff to find this person from the background and kick him out of the chat room - but it didn't work, on duty The staff said that it is the New Year's Day holiday, and the technical staff are on vacation, and the library system is closed, physically isolated from the outside world, and there is no way to remotely manage it..."

Time - New Year's Day holiday.

Geographical advantages - closed system.

Renhe—a reader with a peaceful personality.

The pranksters had the upper hand, no wonder the readers were helpless, though their teeth were itching with rage.

Zhang Zian was now 99% sure that the prankster was the elf he was looking for.

But what kind of elf is this?

What does it mean when it repeatedly prints pi? Just for fun?

An elf whose fire of life is about to be extinguished, will play a prank just for fun? It's not the third Indian brother who likes to joke with his life...

Zhang Zian felt that this elf was not joking, but was trying to ask for help...even for help.

"Sorry, that's all I know, it's not any useful clues." He said sorry, "We people are not strong in action, and probably can't help you, but if you find this pi, please don't Make a drastic move!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it properly."

Zhang Zian thanked him, walked quickly back to his seat, activated the chat room software, and gave himself a common nickname - Da Shuai Bi.

After entering the chat room, he did not rush to type to speak, but waited patiently, and immediately typed a reply after the elf typed pi again.

[Dashuaibi]: 3.1415926, what do you want?

He has a certain feeling that other readers may have fallen into a dead corner of thinking. Who can say for sure that this "person" must be Chinese? Who can be sure that this "person" can understand Chinese?

Of course, this is the Binhai City Library, unlike the National Library or the Capital Library where many foreign readers come to patronize. Zhang Zian just walked around twice, observed carefully, and confirmed that the readers on the fifth floor are all East Asian faces with yellow skin and black eyes. I don’t know if there are Japanese or Koreans among them, but there are definitely no Western faces, so other readers will have this question It is also normal to have dead ends in thinking.

This elf is not necessarily a Chinese elf, it may also be a foreign elf. Maybe it can't read Chinese, and other people's questioning and scolding seem to it to be similar to heavenly scriptures.

Zhang Zian's English level is not very good, but simple daily conversations are still possible, especially after going to the United States for a few days, I feel that fried chicken is good!

[Blue Flower]: I haven't seen this nickname before, new here?

[Ah Liu]: Look at this nickname...won't it be another troublemaker?

[Jackdaw]: It's useless, do you think he can talk to you if you speak English? Just like a robot, it will only send out the top 100 pi, one is not too many and the other is not. I think he is here to make trouble on purpose!

[]: Yes, English! Why didn't I think of it? He responded to my 'hello, world'! Maybe he only understands English! Everyone try to be quiet and let the newcomers try it!

The chat room was quiet for a while, and although the regulars who spoke often did not take it seriously, they still waited patiently for the prankster's reply.

They waited only a few seconds before the situation took an unexpected turn.

[3.1415926]: 3.998o628o034825342117k0679

Zhang Zian and several regular customers stared blankly at the string of familiar numbers on the screen, and realized after a while that this string of numbers was not the original one, and some English characters were mixed in it.

[]:W...h...e...r...e...i...s...m...y...b...o...k? No, it’s a book! Feel sorry! Missed an o! My eyes are almost gone!

Where is my book?

where is my book

Several regular customers felt very embarrassed that the prankster actually responded to the English question? Why didn't I think of it earlier? Is this a foreigner? Or overseas Chinese who don't understand Chinese?

All of a sudden, many questions flooded into the chat room, all in English, and even swiped the screen. The questions asked were nothing more than "Who are you?" "Where are you sitting?" "Why didn't you speak English earlier? I also have to type a string of what does pi mean, "can you speak well" and the like.

The quality of the readers here is very high, and English dialogue is not a problem. If you talk to each other, the pranksters are silent.

[]: Everyone please be quiet, please? Let the newcomers ask first, and we won't get the answer we want if we continue to ask.

Zhang Zian only typed a word, then stared at the screen and fell into a state of thinking.

"Like a robot" - this unintentional remark of [Jackdaw] before touched him a little bit of inspiration. Apparently, the regulars took this elf as a "human being" and didn't doubt it at all.

Zhang Zian previously thought that the elf might not be able to appear because the power of faith was too thin, but now he suddenly thought of a famous thought experiment, and thus had a vague guess about the identity of the elf.

Alpha Dog in the Chinese Room?

We are facing an artificial intelligence wandering in the digital space?
