The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

Four days passed quickly, but the missing person notice released through the official news of the Seablue Federation fell like a rock, and no response was received. Either the target did not see it, or someone saw it and couldn't come, and there were no other reporters.

Han Xiao had no choice but to ask his subordinates to continue the carpet search. By the way, he used [Bold Mystery Explorer] once on the target image provided by Aesop, but what he saw was a picture with unclear meaning - a large number of distorted lines Across the universe, don't know what clue this is.

Another round of search was completed, spaceships returned to Dragon Calm Dock one after another, and many members of the Black Star Legion walked out of the hatch unhappy.

After searching for several days, I couldn't find anyone every time. I kept repeating a job that had already had "results". Anyone would feel irritable and depressed, and the legionnaires were no exception.

Harrison was following the crowd, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Jenny from the corner of his eye, and his heart skipped a beat. He hesitated for a moment, walked over, and mustered up the courage to strike up a conversation:

"Jenny, I'm Harrison, we meet again."

Jenny was receiving a group of consortium investors, when she heard someone calling her, she turned her head and glanced, nodded casually, and said indifferently: "It's you, what's the matter?"

A few days ago, Han Xiao and Emersy gathered important cadres and held a small banquet. Han Xiao introduced Harrison to her, but Jenny didn't have a good impression of Harrison. She still remembered that it was out of curiosity Baby, a frizzy little young man.

"I, can I talk to you?" Harrison stammered.

"Now?" Jenny frowned slightly, waved her hands, and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm very busy now, don't you see that I have guests here?"

After all, she withdrew her gaze, stopped paying attention to Harrison, and led the investor away with a distant and indifferent attitude.

Harrison opened his mouth, not daring to go up to disturb others, so he had to keep up with the large army in despondency, and was going to report to Han Xiao in Dragon Seat Palace.

However, just as he was about to leave the pier, Harrison suddenly saw a man lying on the ground not far away. He was dressed in rags, his face was facing down, and his appearance was invisible. The passers-by were not paying attention to him and turned a blind eye.

"It's strange, is that person lying on the ground asleep, why is no one caring?"

Harrison was curious.

Hearing this, the Black Star Legion soldier next to him followed his line of sight and looked puzzled, "Where is someone lying on their stomachs?"

"It's right there, so conspicuous...you can't see it?" Harrison was taken aback.

The surrounding legionnaires stopped to look at it, stared at it for a few seconds, then turned their heads and stared at Harrison with weird eyes.

"Dude, go to the eye doctor."

Harrison was stunned, and his exuberant curiosity suddenly ignited. He shook off the crowd, strode to the side of the lying person, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand to push the person's body.

"Wake up."

The man seemed to have passed out, without any reaction.

Harrison couldn't help being curious, and reached out and turned the man over.

The moment he saw this person's appearance, Harrison's eyes suddenly widened, and his face suddenly appeared in shock.

...

"You said... this is the person we are looking for?"

Half an hour later, Han Xiao hurried back to the base from the Dragon Seat Palace, came to a secret interrogation room, and looked across the table with a strange expression.

"Yes, I found him at the pier. He seemed to have fallen into a coma and never woke up." Harrison stood aside, pointing to the chair across the table.

Han Xiao looked at the empty chair, with a complex expression on his face, and said with emphasis:

"You really didn't tease me, there's no one here."

Harrison scratched his head and said in confusion, "I don't understand either. It seems like no one else can see him except me, but I can assure you that he is exactly the same as what we are looking for."

"Where did you find him?" Han Xiao wondered.

"You might not believe it..." Harrison shrank his neck, "I picked it up."

"..."

Han Xiao was speechless.

What can i say?

If Harrison hadn't happened to meet him, even if this guy came to him, he might not have seen him.

No wonder you are an explorer, this is talent, you can find good things everywhere!

Han Xiao was skeptical, thought for a while, sent a message to Aesop to come over, and then asked Harrison to describe the appearance of this person.

Harrison took a step forward, looked down at a mass of air (at least in Han Xiao's eyes), and said: "He is very haggard, his whole body is skinny, his clothes are tattered, and there is a lot of dust on his body , as if it hasn't been taken care of properly for many days..."

Han Xiao asked Philip to outline the person's current appearance based on Harrison's description, which was much thinner than the portrait provided by Aesop. If there was no comparison, it would be almost impossible to recognize the two as the same person.

After a while, Aesop arrived in a hurry, looked at the unoccupied seat as soon as he entered the room, and said with a smile: "You guys are pretty efficient, you found him so quickly."

Seeing this, Han Xiao was depressed.

Why can't I see it? What exactly is this screening mechanism?

If he didn't know Harrison's character well, he almost thought that the two guys were colluding to play him.

Thinking about it, Han Xiao reached out and swept the air in front of him, but couldn't feel any feeling of touching the real thing.

"Legion Commander, your hand has penetrated his body..." Harrison was explaining, suddenly startled, "Wait, he suddenly twitched, as if he was shocked by you."

"Wake him up quickly."

Han Xiao withdrew his hand, frowned, called up the surveillance screen in the room, and found that all types of detection devices could not see the existence of this person, and taking pictures was useless.

This situation is obviously not invisible. It seems that only certain people can see and contact this person.

What do Aesop and Harrison have in common? If I have to say it, it seems that both of them are very lucky... Could it be that the lucky attribute is high enough to see this guy? !

Then I'd better wash and sleep as soon as possible.

Just as he was thinking about it, Harrison suddenly yelled, "He's awake!"

Han Xiao lifted his spirits, and said to a cloud of air: "Tell me, your origin."

The air suddenly became quiet. Han Xiao waited for three seconds and did not receive a reply. Instead, he saw Harrison and Aesop listening seriously.

"Did he speak? It seems that I can't hear it." Han Xiao was helpless, "Tell me what he said?"

"He said his name is Lody Anke, from Seablue Star..."

Harrison scratched his head and repeated it.

Hearing the other party's self-reported family name, Han Xiao immediately connected to the population database of Seablue Star Federation and searched the files of this name accurately, but still found nothing, and still found no such person.

"This makes no sense. Since he is a resident of Planet Aquamarine, it is impossible that he does not have a file. Either he was cleared by abnormal forces, or some force prevented me from finding his identity. Could it be said that he can't see him? Can't find any information about him in any form? But I can hear Harrison recounting..."

Han Xiao searched the database in his mind, and suddenly he thought of a special form of existence.

This situation is like a characteristic of a high-dimensional information state!

The research on the information state in the explored universe is limited, and the theoretical theory has always been very mysterious. It is believed that any individual is an aggregate that carries information, and elements such as height, weight, smell, and volume constitute the conditions for this individual to be observed.

The "high-dimensional information state" refers to a specific thing, as if the physical existence of the individual is deprived, and only the "concept" of this information forms the basis of existence, just like the classification of material life and energy life, it becomes A new form of existence...whether it really exists or not depends only on the observer.

For a certain group of observers, they can perceive this mass of information, which is a real entity that can be touched. For normal people who cannot be observed, they cannot obtain any information in the high-dimensional information state from any channel, as if this person does not exist, like a ghost floating in the world, and the two parties cannot exchange any information... This principle There are various names, such as "information closure", "information self-closure", "unobservable body" and so on.

At the same time, "information closure" is not limited to the perception ability of the living body itself, but also acts on technology and magic means, such as not being able to find the files that should exist, not being able to capture the target in the surveillance video, and missing the group photos that have been taken. The figure of the target and so on.

Because including virtual technology, these detection devices and techniques are also carriers of information, and the tools used to obtain and preserve information are essentially no different from the organs of living organisms to perceive the outside world. "Information closure" not only affects living organisms, but also Acting on these tools... This is why information state existence is given the prefix "high-dimensional".

However, after a specific group of observers obtains the information, it is equivalent to filtering it once and becomes the observer's own information, so it can describe the existence of the high-dimensional information state to others. This is the only channel for information transmission, but even if other people know it, It is still unable to perceive the high-dimensional information state itself.

"It seems that he is not in a complete high-dimensional information state, otherwise he would not be able...and would not need to eat."

Han Xiao pondered deeply:

"His situation seems to have only been transformed in half, resulting in the alienation of the information he carries, and the 'existence' in the conventional sense has been erased, but he has not completely entered the high-dimensional information state, maintaining a certain nature of physical existence, and can still Interacting with some substances... This performance is more like the awakening of related abilities and temporarily out of control."

Why would a normal, well-behaved person suddenly experience a mutation in the information state?

There must be some incentive, maybe this is the reason why Aesop predicted him!

"Let him tell me everything that happened."

Han Xiao came back to his senses, knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice.

At present, Harrison and Aesop can only rely on Harrison and Aesop as transit channels to relay the situation of Lodi. Han Xiao quickly figured out the ins and outs, and explained what happened to this person with the theory of information state.

This person's name is Lodi Anke, who has been living in Seablue Star. Some time ago, he mutated and possessed some high-dimensional information state characteristics. He tried to transmit information in various situations, but all failed. He had to live in an old fat house for a few days. moon.

A few days ago, he saw the missing person notice of the Black Star Legion, so he excitedly sent countless messages to the legion mailbox, but he didn't receive any reply. He could only step on the spaceship and sneak to Dragon Calm, intending to find Han Xiao .

Once a living body passes through his semi-high-dimensional information-state body, he will unilaterally read part of the information of the living body, produce hallucinations similar to foreknowledge, and eventually lead to fainting. And if his current body wants to do something to others, it is tantamount to tampering with other people's "existence state" from the information level, using information state disturbance to distort reality, and this requires a huge amount of energy, which he cannot afford, so every time he will Fainting in the middle is a self-protection mechanism.

So he carefully avoided all passers-by along the way, but when he arrived at Dragon Calm Pier, without any contact with anyone, he suddenly had a prophetic image and passed out... This is why he appeared in Dragon Calm and was captured Harrison happened to see the process.

Han Xiao captured the key information from it, thoughtfully:

"He has awakened precognition... Maybe his information state mutation comes from the sudden appearance of precognition?"

"I think it's possible."

Aesop on the side said in a deep voice: "The ability to predict can be regarded as a kind of ability to perceive, process, and deduce information. In the mouth of our predictors, there are also names such as fate line and causal line, because the ability to predict requires and a lot of information. The fate lines are tightly entangled, so it is not impossible to cause mutations in one's own information state."

You have touched my blind spot of knowledge...

Han Xiao felt a little bit pained.

"Old man, your prophecy said that he and I had an intersection long ago, does it mean that I solved the disaster of alienation and saved his life?"

According to Lodi's experience, Han Xiao thought of this possibility.

"Then how do I know?" Aesop spread his hands helplessly, "If the prophecy was so accurate, would I have been caught by you before?"

Han Xiao pinched his fingers hesitantly.

He thought of a way to find out the opponent's situation, that is, to get the battle information, but first of all, he must successfully contact this person.

"It seems that if a normal person wants to observe a life in a high-dimensional information state, he must have a close information entanglement with the other party... It seems that he can touch dead things? So it is not the almost unsolvable form of a real high-dimensional information state... Well, I can't see the clothes on his body, which proves that the clothes have also been assimilated, maybe we can start from this idea..."

After thinking about it, Han Xiao took out a mechanical armor, applied mechanical force to connect, and tried to touch Lodi.

However, the experiment failed, and Lodi passed through without hindrance. The mechanical body that accepted the mechanical force connection was equivalent to maintaining contact with Han Xiao, so he could not touch the other party.

He released the mechanical force connection and let Lodi contact again, but it still failed.

"Intelligence is also an observer." Aesop on the side reminded.

Han Xiao had no choice but to remove the control intelligence in the mecha, experimenting again and again, when the links on the virtual level, including the bottom-level operation permissions, were all cut off, Lodi successfully put on the mecha.

The next moment, the mechanical armor disappeared under Han Xiao's nose.

Seeing this, Han Xiao tried to use mechanical force, virtual technology and other means to regain the existence of the mechanical armor, but found nothing. This mechanical armor just disappeared out of thin air, and the high-dimensional information was also transformed into a state.

Immediately afterwards, Han Xiao asked Lodi to take off the battle armor, and the battle armor appeared on the ground out of thin air.

After testing it with various means, Han Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"He's an information black hole... I'm almost lost."

With his hands on his hips, Aesop frowned and said, "Is there really no other way?"

"This thing, you can say that he is metaphysical idealism, or that he is materialistic technology. It is too difficult to take advantage of loopholes." Han Xiao was a little helpless.

People who cannot observe Lodi cannot generate any information interaction. Combat is also a form of interaction. Even if you shoot him with a cannon, he may not be injured.

Only when a 'neutral' weapon without any observer influence attacks him, will the opponent receive complete damage.

"If it weren't for this guy's inability to subjectively affect other non-observer life forms, he would be a terrible infiltrator..."

Han Xiao gritted his teeth, looked at Harrison, and said unwillingly:

"Ask for me, what does he want me to do for him?"

Harrison nodded, listened for a while, and repeated: "Your Excellency Black Star, he begs you, and hopes that you can get him out of this state."

As soon as the words fell, Han Xiao's heart suddenly shook.

A prompt popped up on the panel.

[You trigger the task [Child of Destiny Transformation]! ]

[Mission introduction: Lody Encore, an ordinary person who works steadily, has a special mutation on a certain day, and he wants you to help him solve this problem...]

[Task requirements: resolve Lodi's mutation and find out the root cause of the mutation]

[Reward: random reward x2, Lodi favorability +80, character card x2]

Before he could take a closer look at the mission, a thin and haggard middle-aged man appeared in Han Xiao's sight out of nowhere, sitting on a chair and looking at him with a hopeful expression.

It was Lodi, the sufferer, who appeared without warning.

"Successful?"

Han Xiao was surprised.

He didn't expect it at first, but he didn't expect this trick to be really effective.

Seeing Lodi means that the two sides have formally entangled in information, and the source is definitely not just the other party's pleading.

Han Xiao can conclude that if the panel does not trigger the task, even if he knows the other party's request, he still cannot see the other party.

So, the panel became a bridge between the two sides, directly helping him complete the information entanglement? !

But this is not what surprised Han Xiao the most. The reason for his shock was the name of the mission.

Child of Destiny! !

Isn't that a hole card of the Germination Organization in version 1.0? Although I haven't seen it, I have gotten its character card before.

How did this matter have something to do with Destiny's Child? Isn't that guy dead? !

The intersection that Aesop said turned out to be such a thing!

The corners of Han Xiao's mouth twitched, and thousands of words surged in his stomach, all gathered into one sentence:

"...a bullshit!"
