three days later.
In the northern space port of Norios, the port hall is bustling with people, looking around is full of heads of different creatures, countless travelers stay here or get on the boat to leave, an ordinary female cosmos human carrying luggage, walking slowly .
In fact, another person is hiding under this disguise. It is the teacher Han Xiao and his party are looking for who once adopted Emersy as a child and guided her to awaken her supernatural talent.
His name is "Aesop", and his ability is prophecy, but his race is even rarer than the rare prophecy ability.
Aesop was born before Xinghai Calendar, he was an immortal species who lived for an unknown number of years.
Long before Han Xiao contacted the teleportation mage, Aesop foresaw that Han Xiao and others would refuse to participate in his "game". The ability of prediction itself is vague, because the future is full of uncertainty and will change at any time. If the future cannot be changed, That prediction is meaningless. Generally speaking, a prediction without a target usually only sees a fog, and the activation ability must have a theme, that is, the "incentive", which is used to end the possibility of the future.
The more experienced prophets will set up more factors to restrain the future. The various clues and mischievous arrangements left by Aesop are all layouts that he uses to restrain the possibility.
The future is in a superposition state, and "incentives" can make the future "collapse". In short, when a person is not hungry, he may do various behaviors, and when he is hungry, then one behavior is determined. Yes, that is, he will definitely go to eat. Aesop deliberately left traces of whereabouts for this purpose. In this way, people who come to search for him will follow the clues he left. If a bead rolls in all directions on the flat ground, But now the bead falls into a groove and only moves back and forth, which means that the "future" has changed from a free-play answer question to a multiple-choice question with limited options. In this way, his prophecy can see the future.
Prophecy cannot see too far into the future, and it has no combat power. The ability itself is not powerful. The most powerful thing is that the user needs to use his brain to be a prophet!
At this time, Aesop had already purchased a seat for a long-distance flight. Even if he did not use the prediction, he had already seen through the purpose of Han Xiao. There is nowhere to run.
"It's too tender." Aesop laughed in his heart, such an obvious intention, a fool couldn't see it, and rejected his request, thinking that he would stay on this planet stupidly, wouldn't he leave
Putting himself in his shoes and thinking, if Aesop faced Han Xiao’s situation, he felt that he would pretend to agree to find the Heart of Crystal Fire, and then procrastinate like this. In fact, Aesop did not intend to stay at all, even if Han Xiao pretended to agree, he would still leave.
"If I agree to my request, my follow-up arrangements can get them into trouble, and they will be kicked out of this planet by the Norios consortium, even if they refuse my request and plan to delay the time, after I leave, Ai If Mercy can't find me, she will anger these cadres who gave up halfway and 'missed the opportunity', and will still make them unlucky."
"From the moment you got the clues I left from the intelligence organization, the result was already doomed." Under the mask of Yi Rong, Aesop smiled, "You use my name indiscriminately, I will punish you slightly, very fair."
"yes?"
Suddenly, a voice of a person came from behind, and with a snap, a hand was placed on Aesop's shoulder.
Aesop's face changed suddenly, his body slammed, and he slowly turned around.
I saw a strange man standing behind him. The man rubbed a thin layer of mask on his face, revealing Han Xiao's face.
"His Excellency Aesop Harrickon, good fucking morning."
Han Xiao smiled.
"How did you know I was here?" Aesop was shocked, his eyes changed slightly, and his surprise flashed.
He didn't ask Han Xiao why he didn't need to explain this matter here. He realized it later and figured it out at once. At this time, he was puzzled by another question.
There are five ports in Norios, why can the other party accurately find the correct one
It seems that I heard Jenny mention it, it seems that this black star is also a predictor.
"Good question, let me introduce you." Han Xiao pulled out a person from the side, took off the mask on the person's face, revealed Fording's face, and said: "This is my mascot."
"...you mean chance?"
Aesop's face froze, and then he was relieved. A skilled prophet like him knows very well that there is never a perfect layout, and even the most subtle plans are often broken by accident. Although luck is elusive, the simplest thing is The most inexplicable.
Han Xiao has the Child of Destiny card. He understands the vision of the foreseeer and the so-called incentives, but this time he did not use the card of the Child of Destiny, so he cannot commit it.
When he refused the request, with what he knew about Aesop, he knew that Aesop could easily see through his "intention", so there was only one choice in front of Aesop. In order to avoid the upcoming Emersy, he only If you can leave Norios in a spaceship, then the possibility is closed, and you only need to let everyone scatter in five airports, which is the place where Aesop must pass.
In this way, the person caught in the dilemma becomes Aesop. If he doesn't go, he will definitely be found. If he goes, he may be found.
Therefore, even if Aesop foresees this possibility, he has to get into this trap, not to mention that because of the lack of incentives, Aesop did not use his abilities.
People who study logic often fall into paradoxes that they can’t see clearly, commonly known as fans of authorities. Aesop wants Han Xiao to act according to his rules of the game, but Han Xiao is the main enemy, making his interlocking layout become two sides. A fair environment for the competition of luck, and then Han Xiao uses his rich experience to defeat any of his luck problems, and Fording can kill the Quartet.
Aesop's crappy disguise to deceive the airport's identity check was okay, and the old hand of Yi Rong, Great Technician Han, had already guarded against this.
According to the normal thinking, if Aesop leaves Norios early after the layout, the plan will be unsolved, which means that he will be invincible. However, Han Xiao has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he knew it in his previous life. What kind of character is Aesop? This long-lived old monster has experienced too many things, and has a strange personality.
Power? It's not interesting, he used to be the vice chairman of a star cluster-level civilization.
wealth? There is no meaning, resources are never owned, and wealth is just a false definition.
Beauty? Tired and crooked, the various species that have mated can circle the star several times.
strength? Experience it, wipe entire planets off the map with terrifying weapons.
Aesop is really tired of living. This is not a derogatory meaning, but a literal meaning. There are only a few interesting freedoms, curiosity and excitement left in his life!
So he became a treasure hunter who traveled and adventured everywhere. His whereabouts were erratic. Only when he was on the verge of danger could he experience the feeling of being alive. Therefore, during the layout, Aesop would never stay out of the way, and would never hide behind the scenes to secure the victory. He would Creating a situation that makes the opponent fair and gives the opponent a chance to taste the fruits of victory is a dangerous game for him:
Winning, he is empty.
He was happy when he lost.
If you live too long, it will really become difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Aesop also took off his disguise, revealing the appearance of a middle-aged and elderly person in vicissitudes, and laughed heartily, "It seems that my apprentice has found a powerful partner."
Han Xiao also laughed along with him, with no flaws on the surface, but other thoughts floated in his heart.
He was moved to kill.
Such a powerful prophet, even if not his own enemy, but who can guarantee that the future will not threaten him
Han Xiao is very clear about Aesop's ability. The ability is a prophecy, so the combat power is about zero. As long as he catches this prophet, killing him is not much more difficult than killing a chicken.
This is a good opportunity to get rid of the hidden danger. Just tell Emersy that her teacher has not been found, and let Aesop "disappear" forever.
so,
Before Emersy arrives...
Kill him? !
Han Xiao's eyes flickered. As a chaoticist, in his eyes no one must die.
Likewise, there is no one that cannot be killed.
