"However, this gave me an idea." Tao Ge calmed down, interlaced his fingers, and stared at the computer screen. "We've tested G09's meme sequence countless times. There's no doubt that after so many years of selection and optimization, G09's meme sequence should be extremely stable... So there's only one possible reason for it to have gone out of control..."
Tao Ge looked up at his assistant, Xiao Li. "It was stimulated by an external factor, and that stimulus most likely came from Anomaly 116."
"But Engineer Tao, you just said that even if Anomaly 116 were going to contaminate G09's meme, that would only have happened after G09 went out of control..." Xiao Li said in astonishment. "The recording couldn't possibly be wrong..."
"An external stimulus doesn't necessarily require meme contamination. To take a step back, some forms of meme contamination might not even require physical contact." Tao Ge slowly shook his head. "I think the problem most likely lies with Anomaly 116."
"So what?" A third voice suddenly cut in. Meng Yunfeng, tall and powerfully built, shoved open the laboratory doors and strode inside. "You've researched this for so long, and you intend to fool the board of directors with that excuse?"
"If Anomaly 116 is willing to cooperate with my experiments, I'll definitely be able to find the source of the problem..." Tao Ge immediately said.
"Why would he cooperate with your experiments? One loss of control incident from G09 nearly cost him his life. He isn't some freelance hunter with no backing—he's a registered hunter with the Kuaiji Anomaly Research Institute. If you trace it upward, his direct superior is Tianshu Tower. We nearly killed someone under Tianshu Tower, and you plan to tell the City Defense Army and Tianshu Tower that G09, which nearly killed someone,
