Chapter 939 The power of the void has its limits.
A covert operation. I will be leading troops here to apprehend a large criminal gang. In accordance with the "Guidelines for Covert Operations" issued by the Religious Council, I have the right to request the cooperation of the Kavanghut authorities.
Sino said to the mercenary in front of him with a serious expression.
The mercenaries of the "Thirty-Man Group" stationed at Kawan Post Station replied respectfully, "Of course, of course! Lord Seno's orders are the orders of the Order of the Church, and we will certainly cooperate."
[One of the main leaders of a large criminal gang ↓]
[Instructions from the Ministry of the Interior.]
[The leader instantly adopted an air of authority.]
No wonder he used to be a high-ranking official in charge of discipline.
The mercenaries then began questioning Sino about the specific details of the operation, as they needed to decide whether to report to their superiors based on the scale of the operation.
Seno, as planned, "tells the truth": "The other party is a branch of the Gilded Brigade, roughly the same size as the 'Eye of Akhmar' active in Ormos Port, and is related to the theft and resale chain of supplies within the Church Council."
These words immediately made the mercenaries on the other side realize the seriousness of the problem.
Because the "Eye of Akhmar" is already the most active and largest gilded guild in the Sumeru region.
The scale of this operation was sufficient to classify it as a joint capture and to be conducted at the high level of a desert armed operation.
Sino also made the same suggestion: "I suggest you report it as soon as possible and arrange for people to follow me and handle it according to the high standards of a desert armed operation."
"Yes! Please wait a moment, I'll contact them right away!"
The two mercenaries hurried off to report to their superiors.
After the two mercenaries left, Ying took advantage of the fact that no one was around and said to Seno, "Seno has such a decisive manner when he gets down to business."
Sino softened his tone and said, "This is my attitude towards outsiders. But you are my allies."
Ying laughed and said, "That's why you treat us differently!"
Sino nodded, without denying it.
"I didn't expect you two to still be in the mood for chatting," Paimon said to the two with a hint of helplessness. "I was just thinking, what if these guards find out that Seno has already stepped down from his work at the Gale Agency and betrayed them..."
“Even if the lower-ranking guards don’t know, their superiors might still be notified, right?” Paimon said with some fear.
Sino simply replied, "Do you remember?"
"This matter was discussed in a meeting."
During the meeting in Aru Village earlier, Elhesen had said that the preparations for Kavan Station were very important, but it was also the part of the plan that required the least worry.
Because the guards stationed at Kawan Post Station are most likely unaware that Seno is no longer the Grand Disciplinary Officer.
The reason for this conclusion is quite simple:
First, even the other disciplinary officers are still unaware of the reason for Senor's departure, indicating that the Canon is keeping this matter a secret.
Secondly, this is a critical stage in the Church's plan to create a god, and the Grand Disciplinary Officer's continued abnormal behavior will inevitably arouse suspicion.
For both emotional and logical reasons, they will not disclose Sino's affairs.
Sino himself agrees with this view.
[Where did the other disciplinary officers mention this before?]
[↑In the legendary questline of Seno.]
Is this the start of a flashback?
[↑This shouldn't be called a flashback; it should be described as an interlude or a flashback. It's to help us understand the plot.]
The meeting also discussed the possibility that the royalists and the Fools might influence the actions of the crowd through the Void's predictive abilities.
Sino was one of them.
He felt that it was somewhat unusual that the Void's abilities had so far failed to stop his actions.
However, after Elhesen consulted with Nasita and the Red King, two gods symbolizing wisdom, he said that there was nothing to worry about in the Void.
When Seno first arrived at Aru Village, his actions and route were calculated by the Void and even communicated to the royalist scholars who had kidnapped the village's guards.
This is precisely what gives people the feeling that the ability to predict the future is omnipotent.
But this is actually a filter that people use to represent the void.
Nasita and the Red King themselves admitted that the Void was a very convenient tool to use, but its function was only to make it convenient to use; it was not as omnipotent as everyone imagined.
The core issue that allows the royalists to predict Cyno's actions through the Void is that Cyno's data has been recorded in the Void.
Human actions are logical.
By organizing and inputting data and conducting in-depth analysis, Void can derive behavioral logic, thereby making predictions about people who conform to this logic.
However, such predictions are not perfect.
Because things that are "logical" don't happen to everyone.
Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are also part of logic, but not everyone can guarantee that every instance of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness will be equal. Emotions and opinions are by no means 100% controllable.
The Void could never have predicted that we'd return to Mondstadt for the holidays during such an important mission.
AI machine learning.
Digital twins.
We have Paimon, and our journey is full of variables; it's impossible to predict.
Calculations are always fraught with bias and instability.
While it's possible for the Void to predict all actions with 100% accuracy, it doesn't yet possess that capability.
God does not play dice.
Sino had always acted alone, and no one could interfere with his thoughts, so the Void's predictions about Sino and the principles behind his execution were basically the same.
Because Sino is accustomed to handling problems independently, and is decisive and principled. This is precisely why the Void was able to accurately predict his behavior.
When Ying heard this at the meeting, her first thought was, "The Void certainly can't accurately predict my thoughts."
Because Cyno is currently in a group, the Void's prediction about Cyno has become invalid.
Therefore, even if the guards at Kavan Station could predict through the void, they could not deduce what Seno is doing now.
News of this topic has been blocked.
The prediction failed due to the void below.
The chances of the guards at Kawan Post knowing anything about Seno are extremely slim, but it's worth the gamble.
Just as they predicted, they accurately foresaw the success of Sino's move and won this gamble.
After hearing this, Paimon visibly breathed a sigh of relief:
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved."
Sino said, "Don't get distracted during meetings in the future."
[Because the story needs to be expanded for players, Paimon naturally has to play the goofy character.]
However, this is something Paimon would actually do.
[Sino at this moment: Your mentor after the group meeting.jpg]
[This is very similar to when I was daydreaming in elementary school.]
"Waaah, I know..."
Paimon, who was at fault to begin with, should learn a lesson from Seno.
Ying confidently stated, "I am confident I can do it well."
Sino nodded, reminding him, "But remember to stay vigilant too."
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came.
