"It's like someone has wiped it repeatedly." Shen Wei made a gesture. "The data is still there, but the key nodes are not clear. And every time I try to dig deeper, I will be blocked by the system."
Leng Yi was silent for a moment.
"So you need me..."
"Go and erase her." Shen Wei's tone was calm, "Use the method you are best at. She is an anomaly that cannot be recognized by the system, and the timing platform does not tolerate anomalies."
"We need to investigate what's behind her..."
"No." Shen Wei interrupted him, "It just needs to be erased. Her background doesn't matter, what's important is getting history back on track. You understand, Leng Yi - a stable lie is better than a chaotic truth."
That last sentence is one of the mottos of the Timing Desk. Leng Yi has heard it countless times and firmly believes it.
But he still asked one more question: "Why me? Class C correctors can also perform erasure tasks."
Shen Wei smiled - the smile was very shallow, barely touching the muscles at the corners of his mouth.
