After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 19 The CEO's Self-Imagination
Shen Yanzhi stared at the obviously pitiful emoji on his phone screen, his expression unchanged: "Who exactly are you?"

"I do not know either."

"When I regain consciousness, it will be in your phone."

[Weak, pitiful, and helpless.jpg]
Chi Yu hesitated for only two seconds before abandoning the idea of ​​impersonating an AI intelligent system.

After spending so many days on her phone, she had gained a basic understanding of Shen Yanzhi's behavior and style.

If it's just a one-time interaction, then being deceived is no big deal.

But if she wants to become human, she still needs Shen Yanzhi's help; she won't be able to live without his phone for the time being.

If you lie from the beginning, what starts as a simple lie will eventually require countless lies to cover it up.

If Shen Yanzhi has a crisis of trust in her, it will be a loss for their future cooperation.

Moreover, she may not even be able to play the role of AI well.

Shen Yanzhi didn't seem to believe her, but continued to ask, "Did you appear on the morning of the 6th?"

Although it was a question, the tone was one of affirmation.

Chi Yu was genuinely surprised.

Shen Yanzhi not only knew she played on her phone every night through surveillance, but he also knew the exact time she traveled here?

She remembered that when she first transmigrated, she had been very well-behaved and hadn't given herself away at all.

Despite thinking this in her heart, Chi Yu still admitted directly: "Yes. You were working in the company office around nine o'clock on the morning of the 6th."

"Why did you remind me today?" Shen Yanzhi asked again.

Chi Yu felt that Shen Yanzhi's reaction was completely different from what she had expected. She subconsciously said, "Is that even a question? You're the owner of the phone! I can't just stand by and watch the bad guys get away with it! What would I do if something happened to you? [pointing emoji]"

Text appears automatically on the phone screen even when no one is operating it.

This scene would definitely make anyone else stand up and shout that it's a national treasure, but Shen Yanzhi remained calm.

Upon seeing Chi Yu's reply, a look of understanding flashed across his eyes.

Shen Yanzhi has always had keen senses. On the 6th, he inexplicably felt that he was being watched and monitored.

At first, Shen Yanzhi thought that someone had tampered with his office, which is why he asked the technical department to conduct a thorough inspection of his office during the meeting.

He later discovered that even when he went to meetings in the conference room, the feeling of being monitored did not disappear; it was always there, like a shadow following him.

At first, he didn't suspect that there was something wrong with his phone, until it overheated twice in a short period of time, which made Shen Yanzhi start to suspect it.

Even though the technical department couldn't find any problems, Shen Yanzhi's doubts remained.

The only thing he carries with him all day is his phone, and that feeling of being constantly monitored... most likely comes from it. A closer look will also reveal a significant discrepancy between the phone's battery level before he goes to bed and when he wakes up the next morning.

So a couple of days earlier, Shen Yanzhi deliberately left his phone on the sofa, avoided it, and went into the study alone to check the recent surveillance footage on the computer in the study.

He spends little time at home each day, and with almost no effort, Shen Yanzhi found the answer he was looking for.

It's just a cell phone, but it acts like it has a mind of its own, deliberately avoiding him to sneak out and play with it.

Saying it's just playing around isn't quite accurate, because it seems to be... a very ambitious mobile phone spirit.

After zooming in on the surveillance footage, Shen Yanzhi could clearly see that every time this "phone addict" secretly played with his phone, he didn't do anything else. He spent four-fifths of his time learning programming and the remaining one-fifth browsing the homepage of a certain content creator on Douyin to relax.

Moreover, it's not just like this for a day, it's like this every day. It manages to balance studying and entertainment perfectly; even Shen Yanzhi wanted to praise its self-discipline.

The reason Shen Yanzhi hasn't confronted the phone spirit since learning of its existence is simple: 1. He hasn't detected any malice from it. 2. He can't eliminate it.

Li Yi and Dang Ze were the best programmers in his company, yet neither of them noticed the phone spirit. This clearly proves that the phone spirit's existence is somewhat more powerful than imagined.

Moreover, Shen Yanzhi did not believe that its existence could be detected by technology. Shen Yanzhi had seen the surveillance footage and knew that this phone spirit was very smart. It would secretly observe his daily life, know exactly when he washed up, and choose to come out only after he fell asleep.

And after sneaking around playing with it, it will clean up its own mess by erasing all its previous browsing history!
Such anthropomorphic behavior is something that a cold, lifeless dataset could never achieve on its own.

Shen Yanzhi pretended not to know of its existence. Even when he woke up this morning and looked at his phone, which had lost 22% of its battery overnight, he thought expressionlessly, "This phone spirit stayed up all night again last night."

He thought that for a long time to come, he and it would live this life without disturbing each other.

I never expected it to be exposed so quickly, and the reason for the exposure was because of him.

It has kept its presence well hidden these days, which shows how cautious it is.

This timid yet cautious smartphone addict will, at the very first sign of danger around him, risk exposing himself to warn him to eliminate the threat.

Shen Yanzhi thought expressionlessly: As expected of my phone, even if it has become sentient, it still puts its owner first.

Luckily, I ran into him. If it were any other immature or unreliable phone owner, they wouldn't know how to threaten or harm their phone, or they would just sell it.

At this moment, the cold communication tool that Shen Yanzhi originally thought of as just a convenient tool for daily life suddenly became vivid and lively in his mind, transforming into a naive and innocent little sprite who had just been born into society.

After Chi Yu finished speaking, she waited for Shen Yanzhi's reaction.

As a result, the man sitting on the sofa seemed to be thinking about something, and his gaze towards her gradually became gentle and tolerant, much like the gaze of a qualified elder looking at a younger generation.

Chi Yu: "..." Hmm?

Something feels off?
Before she could figure it out, Shen Yanzhi reached out and gently touched the phone screen: "From now on, don't stay up late to play games. Whenever you want to play on your phone, you can come out and play as long as no one else sees you."

We're going to have a PK round, please vote! The first round of the PK lasts four days, let's go!
