Chapter 161: Chapter 156: Xiao Yi’s Topology Trivia

The genderless figure always managed to just turn the corner and disappear from Xiao Yi’s sight at just the right moment as he pursued.

It was as if it were intentional.

"... Are they in a rush to use the restroom?" Xiao Yi didn’t notice and simply continued chasing the other person.

After Xiao Yi turned another corner, he chased all the way back to the original central lobby.

The central lobby was very spacious. Circular tables and chairs were neatly arranged, exuding a luxurious atmosphere.

However, there was nowhere in the central lobby to hide, and Xiao Yi couldn’t tell where the figure he was chasing had gone.

"...Hm? Could they really not hold it and just squatted beside a table to relieve themselves?"

Xiao Yi was speaking when he walked right into the center of the lobby, directly under the very conspicuous, huge chandelier.

Suddenly! A subtle, strange metallic clinking sound reached Xiao Yi’s ears.

Xiao Yi sensed something and immediately looked up at the chandelier!

The chandelier, which was already huge, appeared even bigger in Xiao Yi’s eyes! No doubt, it was falling!

"...!"

"Be careful!"

Xiao Yi’s expression tensed, he wanted to jump away, but before he could, a hand had already grabbed him.

Xiao Yi was quickly pulled away from his position by someone, avoiding the chandelier that crashed to the ground.

Looking at the bent chandelier on the floor, Xiao Yi was full of confusion. What exactly happened? Why did the chandelier suddenly fall?

Soon after, a voice pulled Xiao Yi’s thoughts back.

"Are you okay?"

"... Yeah, I’m fine." Xiao Yi looked at the person in front of him.

He was a tall, well-built young man with a muscular frame and bronze skin all over.

"It’s good that you’re fine." The young man said expressionlessly, "The equipment here seems to be poorly maintained; we must be more cautious."

"Hmm... By the way, who are you?" Xiao Yi asked.

The young man still expressionless, replied, "My name is Clements."

"Cle... Clem... Cleme... hmm, hmm, hmm, Clemeh~"

Apparently, it was a bit difficult for Xiao Yi to pronounce the name, so he gave up and continued asking:

"Okay then, Clem, are you a staff member here?"

"No." Clements still expressionless, shook his head, "I also arrived at this hotel not long ago. From my investigations, it’s almost certain that there have been no signs of activity here for a long time. Although the place is still powered and the equipment works, no one uses it anymore, and it has been abandoned and no longer operational."

"Abandoned?" Xiao Yi was puzzled, "How is that possible? I just saw someone staying in a room, and I even saw a figure that resembled a staff member."

That’s why Xiao Yi thought there were people here and believed that the figure was a staff member.

"... That’s impossible." Clements said firmly, still expressionless, "There can’t possibly be anyone here still."

However, Xiao Yi said, "Aren’t you a person too? And I’m a person as well."

"This..." Clements paused before responding, "I can’t deny that."

"That’s right, it seems there are other people secretly living here, it’s just that we haven’t noticed. No one cares about this place, and there’s still electricity, so it’s not strange for someone to be living here. Speaking of which... why are you here?"

"I..." Clements paused again, then answered, "I was driving past this place when I accidentally had an accident, and my car was wrecked. That’s why I ended up here."

"Just like me," Xiao Yi couldn’t help but lower his head to think, "Could there really be such a coincidence? It seems unlikely, let me reason this out... Ah! There must be a garage nearby! Possibly setting up these little incidents to boost their business!"

Clements said, "No, there’s no garage nearby and generally, people wouldn’t think of setting up a garage in such a desolate place, right?"

"That does make sense," Xiao Yi didn’t dwell on it, "But I was just doing some light reasoning, it’s normal not to be accurate. Besides, the essence of reasoning is to constantly eliminate possibilities to find the only remaining likelihood!"

"..." Clements fell silent for a moment, then said, "Rather than that, I think it would be better to clean up this chandelier first."

"...You’re right, let me help. Oh, by the way, my name is Xiao Yi."

Then, the two of them began cleaning up the debris created when the chandelier fell, and prepared to move the chandelier outside the motel.

"Hold on," Clements then said, "There’s a cable looped around the leg of the chair. I’ll remove it first to avoid dragging the chair down."

However, as Clements was about to remove the cable, Xiao Yi said, "Let me do it. Actually, I can show you how to use knowledge of Topology to efficiently remove this cable from around the chair leg."

"Topo... Topology?" Clements was momentarily startled by such a high-end term and stared expressionlessly at Xiao Yi, wanting to see how he would demonstrate Topology.

Xiao Yi walked over to the chair leg, crouched down, and then grabbed both ends of the cable.

"First, you make a loop with this end of the cable here, squeeze out a loop, and then... lift the chair leg, and give it a tug like this. Look, you’ve pulled out the cable, see? Did you learn something? This is Topology."

Clements: "?"

Even Clements couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled at this.

He asked, "Why not just lift the chair leg directly? Isn’t this step a bit redundant?"

"You just don’t understand, huh?" Xiao Yi shook his finger and then said confidently with a smile, "This is Topology!"

Clements: "???"

Now, Clements was even more puzzled.

At this point, the live viewers couldn’t hold back anymore.

[I initially had some expectations for Brother Xiao Yi... looks like I was foolish.]

[Don’t you understand what they are saying? This is High-dimensional Topology! Could a normal person come up with this solution?]

[Thanks, Brother Xiao Yi. I thought it was just Xiao Yi messing around, but I really learned something!]

[Brother Xiao Yi’s moves were too quick; I still didn’t get the principle of Topology.]

[What’s so difficult about this? I’ve already mastered Topology! I could even pull out cables by digging a hole in the ground!]

[Genius!!! You’ve directly grasped the grand unified theory of Topology and classical mechanics!]

While Xiao Yi and Clements were busy, suddenly, the motel’s front door was opened again, and a woman wearing a beige coat walked in.
