The Problem

Although "Ying" possesses unparalleled hardware facilities, equipment for the New Epoch Clan to monitor "Ying" itself has always existed, whether out of caution or a simple desire to track its status.

This means that data such as "Ying's" energy consumption is monitored and documented. Simulating a sentient being requires computational power, which corresponds directly to an increase in energy consumption.

While the energy consumption for a few individuals might be negligible—or even for thousands, since "Ying" holds extremely high-level permissions and can even secretly modify some data to avoid exposure in the short term—what about on a larger scale?

One must realize that accidents are ubiquitous. If every accident resulted in turning someone into "one of their own," the number of such individuals would likely climb to an uncontrollable level.

Moreover, the most critical point is that "Ying's" "own people" possess a distinct characteristic: a concentration of Nano-robots within their bodies far exceeding normal proportions.

With technology at the level of the Star Sea Alliance, there is a vast array of detection instruments. Although "Ying" can control some of the networked devices, doing so still causes computational power to multiply and energy consumption to rise.

At the same time, many of these detection instruments are standalone devices not connected to any network, and at the current level of technology, Nano-robots are not particularly difficult to detect.

This results in "Ying's" "own people" avoiding unfamiliar environments whenever possible, which creates a potential flaw.

If the controlled individual is a homebody who rarely goes out, it might be manageable, but if they are someone who frequently moves about or a public figure, their sudden, abnormal behavior is likely to invite suspicion.

Take Cecil, for example. Humins had a pleasant first online conversation with her, but suddenly, she lost contact. If she had
