Four days passed quickly, but the missing person notice released through the official news of the Hailan Federation was like a stone in the sea, and no response was received. Either the target did not see it, or others did not see it, and there were no other reporters.
Han Xiao had no choice but to let his subordinates continue to carry out a carpet search. He used the [Bold Quest] once on the target image provided by Aesop, but what he saw was a picture of unknown meaning. A large number of distorted lines passed through Universe, don't know what clue this is.
Another round of search was completed, and the spaceships returned to the Dragon Calm Wharf, and many members of the Black Star Legion walked out of the cabin unhappy.
After searching for several days, every time I couldn't find anyone, I kept repeating a job that had already "results". Anyone would feel irritable and depressed, and the Legionnaires were no exception.
Harrison followed in the crowd, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Jenny's figure out of the corner of his eye. His heart jumped, he hesitated, walked over, and summoned the courage to speak up:
"Jenny, I'm Harrison, we meet again."
Jenny was receiving a group of consortium investors. When she heard someone call her, she turned her head to look, nodded casually, and said lightly, "It's you, what's the matter?"
A few days ago, Han Xiao and Emersy gathered their important cadres and held a small banquet. Han Xiao introduced Harrison to her, but Jenny’s impression of Harrison was not very good. She remembered that it was a talkative curiosity. Baby, a frizzy little young.
"Can I, can I talk to you?" Harrison stammered.
"Now?" Jenny frowned slightly, waved her hand, and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm very busy now, haven't you seen me have guests here?"
After all, she took her eyes back, stopped paying attention to Harrison, and walked away with the investor, with a distant and indifferent attitude.
Harrison opened his mouth and did not dare to go up to disturb others, so he had to keep up with the large army in dejection, preparing to go to the Dragon Seat Palace to find Han Xiao to report the task.
However, just as he was about to leave the dock, Harrison suddenly saw a man lying on the ground not far away. He was in rags, and his face was face down. He couldn't see his face, and the pedestrians came and went, all of them didn't notice him and turned a blind eye.
"Strange thing, is that person lying on the ground asleep? Why is no one caring?"
Harrison was curious.
The Black Star Legion soldier next to him heard the words, followed his line of sight, and immediately looked puzzled, "Where is someone lying on his stomach?"
"It's there, so conspicuous... Can't you see it??" Harrison was taken aback.
The surrounding Legionnaires stopped to look, stared for a few seconds, then turned their heads and stared at Harrison with strange eyes.
"Dude, go see an ophthalmologist."
Harrison was stunned, and his exuberant curiosity suddenly burned. He shook off the crowd and strode to the side of the man who was lying on his stomach. He hesitated, and reached out and pushed the man's body.
"Wake up."
The man seemed to have passed out and did not respond.
Harrison couldn't help being curious, and reached out to turn the man over.
The moment he saw this man's appearance, Harrison's eyes widened suddenly, and he was shocked.
…
"You mean... this is the person we're 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 dock, and he seems to be in a coma and never wakes up." Harrison stood aside, pointing to the chair across the table.
Han Xiao looked at the empty chair with a complicated expression, and said with emphasis:
"You're not kidding me, there's no one here."
Harrison scratched his head and said in confusion: "I don't understand either, as if no one else can see him except me, but I can guarantee that he is exactly the same target we are looking for."
"Where did you find him?" Han Xiao wondered.
"You may not believe it..." Harrison shrugged, "I picked it up."
"… "
Han Xiao was speechless.
What can i say
If it wasn't for Harrison's chance encounter, even if this guy came to him, he wouldn't be able to see it.
No wonder you are in the explorer industry, this is talent, you can find good things wherever you go!
Han Xiao was suspicious, thought about it, sent a message to Aesop and asked him to come over, and then motioned Harrison to describe the appearance of this person.
Harrison took a step forward, looked down at a cloud 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 for many days..."
Han Xiao asked Philip to outline the person's current appearance based on Harrison's description, which is much thinner than the portrait provided by Aesop. If there is no comparison, it is almost impossible to recognize the two are the same person.
After a while, Aesop arrived in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the room, he looked at the unoccupied seat, and said with a smile: "You guys are quite efficient, you found him so quickly."
Seeing this, Han Xiao was depressed.
Why can't I see it? What is this screening mechanism
If it wasn't for Harrison's character, he almost thought that the two guys were colluding to make fun of him.
Thinking about it, Han Xiao stretched out his hand and swept the air in front of him, but could not feel any feeling of touching the real thing.
"Captain, your hand went through his body..." Harrison was explaining, suddenly startled, "Wait, he suddenly twitched, as if he had been electrocuted by you."
"Quickly wake him up for me."
Han Xiao withdrew his hand, frowned, and 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 not very useful.
This situation is obviously not invisible, it seems that only certain groups of people can see and contact this person.
What do Aesop and Harrison have in common? If I have to say it, it seems that the two of them have good luck... Could it be that the luck attribute is high enough to see this guy? !
Then I'd better take a shower as soon as possible.
Just as he was thinking about it, Harrison suddenly called out, "He's awake!"
Han Xiao regained his energy and said to the air, "Tell me your origin."
The air suddenly quieted down. Han Xiao waited for three seconds and did not receive a reply. Instead, he saw Harrison and Aesop listening intently.
"Did he speak? It seems that I can't hear it either." Han Xiao said helplessly, "Tell me what he said?"
"He said his name was Lodi Anker, from Seablue..."
Harrison scratched his head and repeated it.
Hearing the other party's self-reported family, Han Xiao immediately connected to the Seablue Star Federation's population database, and searched the file of this name precisely, but still found nothing, still no such person.
"This makes no sense. Since he is a resident of Seablue Star, it is impossible for him to have no files. Either he was cleared by an abnormal force, or some kind of force affected me to find his identity. Could it be that people who can't see him, just Can't find any information about him in any form? But I can hear Harrison's retelling..."
Han Xiao searched the database in his mind, and suddenly he thought of a special form of existence.
This situation is like a feature 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 factors such as height, weight, smell, volume, etc. constitute the conditions for this individual to be observed.
And "high-dimensional information state" is a specific thing, like depriving the individual of the physical existence, leaving only the "concept" of this information to form 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 is only related to the observer.
For a specific observation group, they can perceive this mass of information, which is a real entity that can be touched. For unobservable normal people, they cannot obtain any information about the high-dimensional information state from any channel, just like there is no such person, like a ghost floating in the world, the two parties cannot conduct any information exchange... This principle has Various names, such as "information closure", "information self-closure", "unobservable body", etc.
At the same time, "information closure" is not only limited to the perception ability of the living body itself, but also acts on technology and magic means, such as failure to find files that should exist, failure to capture the target in surveillance video, and loss of a group photo that was once taken. the figure of the target, etc.
Because including virtual technology, these detection devices and techniques are also carriers of information. The tools used to obtain and save information are essentially no different from the organs of the living body to perceive the outside world. "Information closure" not only acts on the living body, but also Acting on these tools... This is why the existence of information states is prefixed with "high dimensional".
However, after a specific observation group obtains the information, it is equivalent to filtering it once and becomes the information of the observer itself, so that the existence of the high-dimensional information state can be described to others. This is the only information transmission channel, but other people even know it. It is still impossible to perceive the high-dimensional information state itself.
"It seems that he is not yet a complete high-dimensional information state, otherwise he will not be able... and he does not need to eat."
Han Xiao thought 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 physical existence, and still able to Interacting with some substances... This behavior is more like the related power awakening and temporarily out of control."
Why does a good-looking normal person suddenly mutate 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, we can only rely on Harrison and Aesop as relay channels to relay Lodi’s situation. Han Xiao quickly figured out the ins and outs, and explained this person’s experience with the theory of information state.
This person's name is Lodi Anke. He has been living in Seablue Star. He has mutated some time ago, and has some high-dimensional information state characteristics. He has tried to transmit information in various situations, but all failed. He had to live in an old fat house for a few moon.
A few days ago, he saw the Black Star Legion’s tracing notice, so he excitedly sent countless messages to the legion’s mailbox, but he couldn’t receive any reply. He could only set foot on the spaceship and smuggled 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, producing hallucinations similar to precognition, and eventually leading to fainting. And if his current body wants to do something to others, it is equivalent to tampering with other people's "existence state" from the information level, disturbing and distorting reality with information state, and this requires huge energy, he can't afford it, so every time he will be in Halfway through syncope, this is a self-protection mechanism.
So he carefully avoided all passers-by along the way, but when he arrived at the Dragon Calm wharf, without contacting anyone, he suddenly had a premonition screen and fainted... This is how he appeared at Dragon Calm and was taken by Harry Sen happened to see the process.
Han Xiao captured key information from it, thoughtfully:
"He awakened precognition... Maybe his information state mutation came from the sudden emergence of precognition?"
"I think it's possible."
Aesop on the side said solemnly: "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, causal line, etc., because the ability to predict requires a lot of Fate lines are closely entangled, so it is not impossible to mutate their own information states."
You have touched my blind spot of knowledge...
Han Xiao felt a little pain in the ass.
"Old man, your prophecy says that I have had an intersection with him for a long time. Does it mean that I solved the alienation disaster 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 prediction was so accurate, would I have been caught by you before?"
Han Xiao squeezed his fingers hesitantly.
He thought of a way to find out the situation of the other party, that is to give out battle information, but first of all, he must successfully contact this person.
"It seems that a normal person wants to observe a high-dimensional information state life, and must have close information entanglement with the other party... He seems to be able to touch dead objects? So it's not the almost unsolvable form of a real high-dimensional information state... Well, he has I can't see the clothes I'm wearing, which proves that the clothes have also been assimilated. Maybe we can start with this idea... "
After thinking about it, Han Xiao took out a mechanical armor, applied the mechanical force connection, and tried to touch Lodi.
However, the experiment failed, Lodi passed through without hindrance, and the mechanical body that accepted the mechanical force connection was equivalent to maintaining contact with Han Xiao, so he could not touch each other.
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 to remove the control intelligence in the mecha. After experimenting again and again, when the links at the virtual level, including the underlying operation permissions, were all cut off, Lodi successfully put on the mecha.
The next moment, the mechanical armor disappeared under Han Xiao's eyelids.
Seeing this, Han Xiao tried to use mechanical force, virtual technology and other means to regain the existence of the mechanical armor, but he found nothing. This mechanical armor just disappeared out of thin air, and the high-dimensional information was also state.
Immediately afterwards, Han Xiao asked Lodi to take off the armor, and the armor appeared on the ground out of thin air.
After testing it with various means, Han Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"He's a black hole of information... I'm almost out of it."
Aesop put his hands on his hips and frowned: "Is there really no way?"
"This thing, it's okay to say that he is spiritualist metaphysics, and it's okay to say that he is materialistic technology, it's too difficult to exploit the loopholes." Han Xiao was a little helpless.
People who can't observe Lodi can't produce any information interaction. Fighting is also a way of interaction. Even if you shoot him with a cannon, others may be unscathed.
Only if a 'neutral' weapon without any observer influence attacks him will the opponent take full damage.
'If it wasn't for this guy's inability to subjectively affect other non-observer lifeforms, he'd be a terrifying infiltrator...'
Han Xiao gritted his teeth, looked at Harrison, and said:
"Ask 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, I hope you can get him out of this state."
As soon as the words fell, Han Xiao suddenly felt a shock.
A prompt popped up suddenly on the panel.
[You trigger the task [Child of Destiny · Substitute Transformation]! ]
[Mission introduction: Lodi Anke, an ordinary person who works hard, has a special mutation one day, and he wants you to help him solve this problem... ]
[Task requirements: resolve Lodi's mutation and find out the source of the mutation]
[Reward: Random Reward x2, Lodi Favor +80, Character Card x2]
Before he could take a closer look at the mission, a thin and haggard middle-aged man appeared out of thin air in Han Xiao's line of sight. He sat on a chair and looked at himself with a hopeful expression.
It was the bitter master Lodi who appeared without warning.
"Successful, successful?"
Han Xiao was surprised.
He had no hope at first, but he didn't expect this trick to be really effective.
Seeing Lodi, it means that the two sides have officially generated information entanglement, and the source is definitely not just the other party's plea.
Han Xiao can conclude that if the panel does not trigger the quest, even if he knows the request of the other party, he will not be able to see the other party.
So, the panel has become a bridge between the two sides, directly helping him complete the information entanglement? !
But this was 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 budding organization in version 1.0? Although I haven't seen it, I have got its character card.
How does this matter have anything to do with Destiny 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 filled his stomach, all of them condensed into one sentence:
"… Cow batch!"
