No one had anticipated that after Lei Gang's forceful rebuttal, Nie Bing would respond with such calm confidence.
Could she have truly foreseen Lei Gang's—no, perhaps... all of Cifera's reactions?!
What method would she use to prove the authenticity of these recordings?
At that moment, everyone fell into a tacit silence, waiting for "Nie Bing's" proof. Even the Bullet Comments in the live stream had dwindled to a trickle.
Lei Gang stood frozen, his mouth agape, the roar he had been about to unleash caught in his throat. His face, flushed with rage moments ago, now paled with shock and uncertainty.
He had never imagined that even after exposing this fatal vulnerability, Nie Bing would refuse to admit her error. How could she possibly prove it now? What evidence could she still present?
Unless... she could prove that the coin was a genuine holographic projector?!
Lei Gang's pupils dilated instantly as Nie Bing's calm, cold voice rang out again, confirming his suspicion:
"You must have anticipated that this Cifera Coin, or rather, the projector, would eventually fall into my hands. But you certainly didn't expect me to crack its activation method.
"As I said before, Cifera, you were too arrogant about your technical skills. That's the root cause of your current failure.
"Everyone, please wait a moment while I prepare. I'll arrange a live demonstration broadcast shortly to prove the true capabilities of this Cifera Coin to everyone. Keep an eye on the big screen."
At the same moment, "Cifera" temporarily ended the voice call.
Under the astonished gazes of Nie Bing and Lin Zhiyuan, "she" stood up and began setting up the live broadcast. As she arranged the scene, she reminded them:
"Next, I'll stream footage from this room to Old Liu and the others in their live stream. Your acting needs to be a bit more professional now. Don't let the facade slip!"
Though still stunned, Nie Bing and Lin Zhiyuan quickly nodded to indicate they understood and would comply.
Their shock wasn't because Cifera had found a way to counter Lei Gang's accusations. After all, she was Cifera herself. Proving that her fabricated "genuine footage" was "authentic" wouldn't be a challenge for her.
Their shock stemmed from realizing that the Cifera Coin might actually be an incredibly advanced 5D holographic projector!
This isn't a scam after all?!
Does technology like this really exist in the world today?!
A tech enthusiast and a knowledge buff, stunned at first, now had their eyes shining with curiosity—the thrill of discovering something new!
While those at the press conference had to wait, the live stream viewers didn't.
The director quickly split the screen to show Nie Bing and her team.
Nie Bing was setting up cameras and other equipment for the live demonstration, with Lin Zhiyuan assisting her. The Security Guard stood awkwardly to the side, looking a bit lost.
[The director finally switched to Little Bingbing's feed! She's actually going to do a live demonstration!]
[The twists never stop! I thought Big Pecs was off the hook, but Nie Bing still had a trick up her sleeve.]
[That tiny Cifera Coin is really a 5D holographic projector? The entire nation, and probably the world's tech enthusiasts, must be watching this now!]
[I hope Nie Bing doesn't mess this up.]
[Don't worry! With her dad's 'Poison Milk' blessings, she's got this!]
[That Starry Security Guard is so clueless! Can't he even lend a hand?]
Neither the production team nor the live stream viewers realized they were watching a fabricated reality simulated by Cifera.
The "clueless Security Guard" they saw was actually the one working tirelessly behind the scenes.
The shock they would experience upon discovering this truth would undoubtedly rival their astonishment at the revelation of the 5D holographic projection.
After all, even the live footage captured by the Heaven's Eye System had been seamlessly manipulated with such realism!
Just how advanced was Cifera's technological prowess?!
Before long, "Cifer" finished her preparations.
In Nie Bing and Lin Zhiyuan's eyes, "Cifer's" demeanor instantly shifted, reverting to the naive, young Security Guard they knew.
Simultaneously,
The large screen at the press conference venue flickered to life, displaying the interior of Starry Security's Pursuit Team's temporary command center.
Seeing that Nie Bing was ready, the Production Team director immediately switched the live broadcast feed back to the press conference.
After all, the key figure, Lei Gang, was present.
The large screen now focused on a relatively empty corner of the temporary operations room. The Starry Security's young and somewhat nervous Security Guard stood before the camera, holding the One-Eyed Cifera Coin in his hand.
From off-screen came Nie Bing's crisp voice:
"To completely dispel any doubts and eliminate any possibility of cheating, I've specifically arranged for a Starry Security operative, sent by Minister Lei to assist us, to handle the practical demonstration."
A small commotion erupted in both the conference hall and the live stream chat. No one had anticipated Nie Bing's arrangement, but it only underscored her confidence.
[Who said earlier that the Security Guard wouldn't help? Turns out he's the star of this demonstration!]
[As expected of Nie Bing, so meticulous!]
[Big Pecs... I mean, is Cifera freaking out inside?]
[LOL, so we're just assuming Big Pecs is Cifera now?]
[This is going to be epic! Let Cifer personally expose Cifera's deception!]
The "Security Guard" turned toward the camera and asked, slightly stiffly, "Officer Nie... can we start now?"
"You can start now. Just relax," Nie Bing's voice replied immediately, sounding a touch gentler than usual.
Then Lin Zhiyuan's warm, reassuring voice chimed in from off-screen: "Nie Bing's right. Don't be nervous. Just do what we agreed."
[Little Bingbing and Lord Lin are so warm! Go get 'em, Cifer!]
These viewers cheering for "Cifer" had no idea this entire performance was orchestrated by Cifera herself.
In the room, the real Nie Bing and Lin Zhiyuan watched from behind the camera as Cifera single-handedly played multiple roles, their minds reeling from the revelation.
Not only could she perfectly mimic voices that weren't her own, but she could also simulate the nuances of distance, pitch, and spatial positioning—the variations in her vocal techniques were simply divine!
This wasn't mere showmanship; it was psychological warfare. By staging this multi-voiced performance, the Pursuit Team members at the press conference wouldn't suspect that Nie Bing and Lin Zhiyuan had been compromised, nor would they doubt the authenticity of the "Security Guard."
As expected of Cifera! Her mind was as cunning as a demon, accounting for even the smallest details!
The two "unconscious" Pursuit Team experts, though technically Cifera's opponents, couldn't help but silently "666" her.
On screen, after receiving encouragement from Nie Bing and Lin Zhiyuan, "Cifer" took a deep breath.
Then, to everyone's surprise, she tossed the Cifera Coin high into the air.
