Four days passed very quickly, and the missing person notice that was released through the Aquamarine Federation's official news was like a stone sinking into the ocean. There was no response at all. Either the target did not see it, or the target did see it but did not come. Similarly, there were no other reports.
Han Xiao had no choice but to let his subordinates continue the carpet search. He also used [Bold Explorer] on the image of the target provided by Aesop, but what he saw was an image with unknown meaning. A large number of twisted lines passed through the universe, and he did not know what kind of clue that was.
After another round of search, the spaceships returned to Floating Dragon's dock one after another. Many Black Star Corps members walked out of the hatch unhappily.
After searching for a few days, they could not find the target every time. Repeating a task that already had a 'result', anyone would feel frustrated and depressed, and the army warriors were no exception.
Harrison was in the crowd. Suddenly, he saw Jenny's figure from the corner of his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. He hesitated for a while, walked over, and summoned his courage to talk to her.
"Jenny, I'm Harrison. We meet again."
Jenny was receiving a group of financial group investors. Hearing someone call her, she turned around, nodded casually, and said calmly, "It's you. What's the matter?"
A few days ago, Han Xiao and Ames had gathered the important officers under them and held a small banquet. Han Xiao had introduced Harrison to her, but Jenny did not have a good impression of Harrison. She still remembered that this was a talkative and curious baby, a rash young man.
"Can — can I talk to you?" Harrison stuttered.
"Now?" Jenny frowned slightly, waved her hands, and said unhappily, "I'm very busy now. Can't you see that I have guests here?"
Then, she looked away, no longer paying attention to Harrison, and walked away with the investors with a distant and cold attitude.
Harrison opened his mouth but did not dare disturb her. He could only follow the group dejectedly and prepare to report the mission to Han Xiao in the Dragon Emperor's palace.
However, just as he was about to leave the dock, Harrison suddenly saw a person lying on the ground not far away. His clothes were ragged, and his face was facing down. The passersby around him did not notice him at all, as if they did not see him.
"Strange, is that person sleeping on the ground? Why is no one doing anything?"
Harrison was curious.
The Black Star Corps soldier next to him heard him and followed his line of sight. He was immediately puzzled. "Where is someone lying on the ground?"
"It's right there. It's so obvious … Can't you see it?" Harrison was stunned.
The surrounding army warriors all stopped and looked over. After staring for a few seconds, they turned around and looked at Harrison with strange gazes.
"Dude, let's go to the eye doctor."
Harrison was stunned. His exuberant curiosity was instantly ignited. He shook off the crowd and strode over to the person lying on the ground. He hesitated for a moment before reaching out to push the person's body.
"Wake up."
This person seemed to have fainted and didn't react at all.
Harrison couldn't hold back his curiosity. He reached out and flipped the man over.
The moment he saw this person's face, Harrison's eyes widened in shock.
…
"You said … this is the person we're looking for?"
Half an hour later, Han Xiao rushed back to the base from the Dragon Emperor's palace. He came to a secret interrogation room and looked across the table with a strange expression.
"That's right. I found him at the dock. He seems to have fallen into a coma and hasn't woken up." Harrison stood at the side and pointed at the chair opposite the table.
Han Xiao looked at the empty chair with a complicated expression. He said with a heavier tone,
"You're not kidding me, right? There's no one here."
Harrison scratched his head and said in confusion, "I don't understand, either. It seems like other than me, no one else can see him. But I can guarantee that he's exactly the same as the target we're looking for."
"Where did you find him?" Han Xiao was confused.
"You might not believe me …" Harrison shrunk his neck. "I picked him up."
"…"
Han Xiao was speechless.
What else can I say?
If not for Harrison coincidentally bumping into him, even if this guy came right in front of him, he probably wouldn't have seen him.
No wonder you're an explorer. This is your talent. You can pick up good things wherever you go!
Han Xiao was skeptical. After thinking about it, he sent a message to Aesop and asked him to come over. He then asked Harrison to describe this person's appearance.
Harrison took a step forward, looked down at the air (at least in Han Xiao's eyes), and said, "He's very haggard. He's so thin that he's just skin and bones. His clothes are tattered, and there's a lot of dust on him. It's like he hasn't taken care of himself for many days …"
Han Xiao asked Philip to outline this person's current appearance according to Harrison's description. This person was much thinner than the portrait Aesop provided. Without comparison, it was almost impossible to recognize the two as the same person.
After a while, Aesop rushed over. He looked at the empty seat as soon as he entered the room and chuckled. "You guys are pretty efficient. You found him so quickly."
Seeing this, Han Xiao was depressed.
Why can't I see it? What kind of screening mechanism is this?
If not for the fact that he knew Harrison's personality, he would almost think that these two guys colluded to trick him.
With that thought, Han Xiao reached out and swept the air in front of him. He did not feel any physical sensation.
"Army Commander, your hand passed through his body …" Harrison was explaining when he suddenly got a shock. "Wait, he suddenly started convulsing like he was electrocuted."
"Hurry up and wake him up."
Han Xiao retracted his hand and frowned. He brought up the surveillance footage in the room and realized that all kinds of detection devices could not see this person. Taking pictures was also useless.
This situation clearly wasn't invisible. It seemed like only certain people could see and touch this person.
What did Aesop and Harrison have in common? If he had to say, it seemed like both of them were pretty lucky … Could it be that only the luck attribute was high enough to see this guy?
Then I'd better wash up and sleep early.
Just as he was thinking, Harrison suddenly yelled, "He's awake!"
Han Xiao was energized. He bit the bullet and said to the air, "Tell me, where are you from?"
The air suddenly became quiet. Han Xiao waited for three seconds but did not get a reply. Instead, he saw that Harrison and Aesop were listening to something seriously.
"Did he speak? Looks like I can't hear him either. "Han Xiao was helpless." Tell me, what did he say? "
"He said his name is Rody Anchor, and he's from Blue Star …"
Harrison scratched his head and repeated what he said.
Hearing the other party say his name, Han Xiao immediately connected to the Blue Star Federation's population database and searched for this name. However, there was still nothing. There was still no trace of this person.
This doesn't make sense. Since he's a Blue Star resident, there's no way he doesn't have a file. Either it was erased by an abnormal power, or some kind of power is affecting me to find his identity. Could it be that if I can't see him, I can't find any information about him in any form? But I could hear Harrison's retelling … "
Han Xiao searched the database in his mind. Suddenly, he thought of a special form of existence.
This situation seemed to be the characteristic of a High-Dimensional Information Form!
The research on Information Form in the explored universe was limited. The theory had always been very mysterious. It was believed that any individual was an aggregation that carried information. Height, weight, smell, size, and other factors formed the conditions for this individual to be observed.
"High Dimensional Information Form" was a special thing. It was like a "concept" of information that had been stripped of an individual's physical existence, leaving behind only these information to form the basis of existence. Just like the classification of material life forms and energy life forms, it had become a new form of existence … Whether it truly existed or not was only related to the observer.
For a specific group of observers, they could perceive this cluster of information. This was a real entity that could be touched. For ordinary people who couldn't observe, they couldn't obtain any information from the High-Dimensional Information Form from any channel. It was like this person didn't exist, like a ghost floating in the world. Both parties couldn't interact with each other … There were various names for this principle, such as' Information Closure ',' Information Closure ',' Unobservable Entity ', and so on.
At the same time, 'Information Closure' wasn't limited to the sensory ability of the life form itself. It was also used on technology and magic. For example, one couldn't find files that should have existed, surveillance cameras couldn't capture the target, or group photos that were taken before losing the target's figure.
This was because, including Virtual Technology, these detection devices and techniques were also carriers of information. They were tools used to obtain and store information. In essence, they were no different from the organs of the life form to sense the outside world. 'Information Closure' was used on both the life form and these tools … This was also the reason why the existence of Information Form was given the prefix 'High-Dimensional'.
However, after a specific group of observers obtained the information, it was equivalent to filtering it and turning it into the observer's own information. Therefore, they could describe the existence of the High-Dimensional Information Form to others. This was the only way to transmit information. However, even if others knew about it, they still wouldn't be able to perceive the High-Dimensional Information Form itself.
"From the looks of it, he's not a complete High-Dimensional Information Form. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the ability … and wouldn't need to eat."
Han Xiao pondered.
"His situation seems like he's only transformed halfway, causing the information he carries to mutate. His' existence 'in the conventional sense has been erased, but he hasn't completely entered the High-Dimensional Information Form. He maintains a certain physical existence and can still interact with some matter … This behavior is more like the awakening of a related Esper Ability and temporary loss of control."
Why would a perfectly normal person suddenly have an Information Form mutation?
There must be some kind of trigger. Perhaps this is why Aesop foretold him!
"Get him to tell me everything that happened."
Han Xiao came back to his senses, knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice.
Currently, he could only rely on Harrison and Aesop as a relay channel to relay Rody's situation. Han Xiao quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter and used the Information Form Theory to explain what had happened to this person.
This person's name was Rody Anchor, and he had always been living in Blue Star. Some time ago, he had mutated and gained part of the characteristics of a High-Dimensional Information Form. He had tried to transmit information under various circumstances, but all of them had failed. He had no choice but to transform into an old fat otaku and live there for a few months.
A few days ago, he had seen the missing person notice from the Black Star Corps. Therefore, he had excitedly sent countless messages to the army's mailbox, but he had not received any reply. He had no choice but to step onto the spaceship and sneak over to Floating Dragon, planning to look for Han Xiao.
Once a life form passed through his Half-High-Dimensional Information Form body, he would unilaterally read part of the life form's information, creating hallucinations similar to foresight, which would eventually cause him to faint. If he wanted to do anything to other people with his current body, it would be equivalent to tampering with other people's' state of existence 'from the information level, using the Information Form to distort reality. This required a huge amount of energy, which he could not afford. Therefore, he would faint midway every time. This was a self-protection mechanism.
Therefore, he carefully avoided all the passersby along the way. However, when he arrived at Floating Dragon's dock, without making contact with anyone, he suddenly had a foresight image and fainted. This was how he appeared on Floating Dragon and was coincidentally seen by Harrison.
Han Xiao captured the key information from this and pondered.
"He awakened foresight … Maybe the mutation of his Information Form came from the sudden appearance of his foresight ability?"
"I think it's possible," Aesop said with a deep voice.
"Foresight ability can be seen as the ability to sense, process, and deduce information. In the mouth of us foreseers, there are also names such as fate lines, causality lines, and so on. Because foresight ability requires a lot of fate lines to be tightly entangled with a lot of fate lines, it's not impossible for it to cause one's own Information Form to mutate."
You've touched on my blind spot …
Han Xiao was a little troubled.
"Old man, your prophecy said that I had interacted with him a long time ago. Does that mean that I solved the Mutation Disaster and saved his life?"
Based on Rody's experience, Han Xiao thought of this possibility.
"How would I know?" Aesop shrugged helplessly. "If the prophecy was so accurate, would I have been caught by you in the past?"
Han Xiao squeezed his fingers hesitantly.
He did think of a way to figure out the other party's situation, which was to extract his combat information. However, he had to first make contact with this person.
"It seems like if a normal person wants to observe a High Dimensional Information Form life form, they have to be closely entangled with the other party's information … He seems to be able to come into contact with dead objects? So, it's not a real High Dimensional Information Form that's almost unsolvable … Hmm, I can't see the clothes he's wearing, which means that the clothes have been assimilated. Maybe I can start from this … "
After thinking about it, Han Xiao took out a mechanical suit, connected it with Mechanical Force, and tried to touch Rody.
However, the experiment failed. Rody passed through without any resistance. The mechanical suit that accepted the Mechanical Force connection maintained contact with Han Xiao, so he was unable to touch the other party.
He deactivated the Mechanical Force connection and let Rody come into contact with it again, but it still failed.
"Artificial intelligences are also observers," Aesop reminded him.
Han Xiao had no choice but to deactivate the artificial intelligences in the mechanical suit. After experimenting again and again, when the virtual connection was completely cut off, Rody finally successfully put on the mechanical suit.
The next moment, the mechanical suit disappeared right in front of Han Xiao's eyes.
Seeing this, Han Xiao tried to use Mechanical Force, Virtual Technology, and other means to find the existence of the mechanical suit, but it was to no avail. This mechanical suit disappeared into thin air just like that, also turned into a High Dimensional Information Form.
Then, Han Xiao had Rody take off the mechanical suit, and the suit appeared on the ground out of thin air.
After using all kinds of methods to test it, Han Xiao could not help but sigh.
"He's like an information black hole … I'm at my wit's end."
Aesop had his hands on his hips, frowned, and said, "Is there really no other way?"
"This thing can be called metaphysics or materialism, but it's too difficult to find a loophole." Han Xiao was a little helpless.
Someone who could not observe Rody would not be able to create any information interaction. Combat was also a form of interaction. Even if Han Xiao hit him with a cannon, he might not be injured at all.
Only when a 'neutral' weapon that was not affected by any observer attacked him would he be fully injured.
If not for the fact that this guy can't affect other non-observer life forms subjectively, he would be a terrifying infiltrator …
Han Xiao clenched his teeth, looked at Harrison, and said, "Can you help me?
"Can you help me ask him what he wants me to do for him?"
Harrison nodded, listened for a while, and repeated, "Your Excellency Black Star, he's begging you. He hopes that you can help him get out of this state."
As soon as he said that, Han Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
A notification popped up on the interface.
You have triggered the mission (Destiny's Child — Sub Body Transformation)!
Mission Introduction: Rody Anchor, an ordinary person who worked hard, had a special mutation one day. He hopes that you can help him solve this problem …
Mission Requirements: Resolve Rody's mutation and find the source of the mutation.
Rewards: x2 Random Rewards, + 80 Rody Favorability, x2 Character Summon Cards
Before Han Xiao could take a closer look at the mission, a thin, weak, middle-aged man appeared in front of him, sitting on a chair and looking at him with a hopeful expression.
It was the victim, Rody, who had appeared out of nowhere.
"It … it worked?"
Han Xiao was shocked.
He did not have much hope, but he did not expect it to work.
Being able to see Rody meant that there was an information entanglement between the two parties, and the source was definitely not just the other party's request.
Han Xiao was sure that if the interface did not trigger the mission, even if he knew the other party's request, he would not have been able to see him.
So, the interface became a bridge between the two parties, helping him complete the information entanglement?
However, this was not what surprised Han Xiao the most. The reason was the name of the mission.
Destiny's Child!
Isn't that one of the trump cards of the Germinal Organization in Version 1.0? Although I've never seen it, I've gotten its Character Summon Card before.
How is this related to Destiny's Child? Wasn't that guy already dead?!
So, this is what Aesop meant by 'intersection'!
Han Xiao's mouth twitched, and thousands of words surged in his mind, but they all converged into one sentence.
"… Amazing!"
