Three days later.
In the northern space port of Norios, the harbor hall is bustling with people. You can see the heads of different creatures. There are countless travelers staying here or getting on the boat to leave. An ordinary female cosmic human being carrying a suitcase, walking slowly .
In fact, another person is hiding under this disguise. It is the target that Han Xiao and his team are looking for, who had adopted Emersy as a child and guided her to awaken the super talented teacher.
His name is "Aesop" and his ability is a prophecy, but his race is even rarer than the rare prophecy ability.
Aesop was born before the Xinghai calendar, and he was a longevity species who lived for many years.
Long before Han Xiao came into contact with the Teleportation Master, Aesop predicted that Han Xiao and others would refuse to participate in his "game". The prediction ability 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, goalless predictions usually only see a fog, and the ability to activate must have a theme, that is, "induction", which is used to curb future possibilities.
The more experienced predictors will set more factors to consolidate the future. The various clues and mischievous arrangements left by Aesop are all the layouts he uses to consolidate the possibilities.
The future is in a superposition state, and the "induction" can make the future "collapse". Simply put, when a person is not hungry, he may do various behaviors, and when he is hungry, then one behavior is determined Yes, that means he will definitely eat. Aesop deliberately left clues about his whereabouts for this purpose, so that people who came to search for him would follow the clues he left. If a bead would roll in all directions on flat ground, But now the beads fall into a groove and only move back and forth, which means that the "future" has changed from a free-play solution problem to a multiple-choice problem with limited options. In this way, his prediction can see the future.
Prophecy cannot see too far in the future, and has no combat effectiveness. The ability itself is not great. What's great is that users need to use their brains when they are predictors!
At this time, Aesop has already purchased a seat for a long-distance flight. Even if he does not use his foresight, he has already seen Han Xiao's purpose. He just wants to delay the time and wait for Emersy to arrive in Norios, so that he can There is nowhere to escape.
"Too tender." Aesop was amused. The idiot couldn't see the obvious intention. He refused his request, thinking that he would stay on this planet stupidly. Wouldn't he leave?
Putting yourself in and thinking, if Aesop faced Han Xiao’s situation, he felt that he would pretend to agree to look for the Heart of Crystal Fire, and then drag the time like this, at least better than directly rejecting... But no matter what Han Xiao chooses, the result is actually the same , In fact, Aesop didn't intend to stay at all, even if Han Xiao pretended to agree, he would leave.
"If I agree to my request, my follow-up arrangement will cause them to get into trouble, and they will be driven out of this planet by the Norios Consortium. Even if they refuse my request and intend to delay time, after I leave, Ai Moss couldn't find me, so she would anger these cadres who gave up halfway and'missed opportunities', and still made them unlucky."
"The moment you got the clues I left from the intelligence organization, the result was doomed." Under the mask of disguise, Aesop smiled, "You use my name indiscriminately, and I will punish you a little. fair."
"is it?"
Suddenly, a person's voice rang from behind, and with a snap, a hand was placed on Aesop's shoulder.
Aesop's face changed suddenly, his body suddenly stopped, and he slowly turned around.
I saw a strange man standing behind him, this man rubbed a thin cicada-wing mask on his face, revealing Han Xiao's face.
"Your Excellency Aesop Haryken, good **** morning."
Han Xiao narrowed his face with a smile.
"How do you know I'm here?" Aesop was startled, his eyes changed slightly, and surprise flashed.
He didn't ask Han Xiao why he didn't need to explain this matter here. After realizing it, he figured it out. At this time, he was puzzled by another question.
There are five ports in Norios, why can the opponent find the right one accurately?
As if I heard Jenny mentioned, 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, revealing Fording's face, and said: "This is my mascot."
"...You mean to try your luck?"
Aesop's face froze, and then he was relieved. A skilled prophet like him is very clear that there is never a perfect layout, no matter how subtle plans are often accidentally broken, although luck is vague, the simplest things are actually The most unsolvable.
Han Xiao has the Son of Destiny card. He understands the thinking of the predictor and knows the so-called inducement, but this time he did not use the Card of the Son of Destiny.
When he refused to ask, based on his understanding of Aesop, he knew that Aesop could easily see through his “intentions”, so he had only one choice in front of Aesop. In order to avoid the upcoming Emersy, he only had Being able to leave Norrios by spacecraft, then the possibility is curtailed. All you need to do is to disperse the five airports and squat, which is the place Aesop must pass through.
In this way, the dilemma becomes Aesop. If he doesn't go, he will be found, and if he goes, he may be found.
Therefore, even if Aesop foresaw this possibility, he had to get into this trap, not to mention that Aesop did not use his power because of the lack of incentives.
People who study logic often fall into paradoxes that they can’t see clearly. They are commonly known as fans of the authorities. Aesop wants Han Xiao to act in accordance with his rules of the game, but Han Xiao opposes him, making his interlocking layout become both sides. Competing for a fair environment of luck, and then Han Xiao uses his rich experience to defeat any of his luck problems, Fording can kill the Quartet.
Aesop's crappy disguise to deceive the airport's identity check was fine, and the veteran of disguise, Han Da, had already guarded against this.
According to normal thinking, after Aesop’s layout, if he leaves Norios early, the plan will be unsolvable, which means he will be invincible. However, Han Xiao has one of the biggest advantages, which is that he has known it in his previous life. What kind of character is Aesop? This old monster with a long lifespan has experienced too many things and has a strange personality.
Power? It doesn't mean, he used to be the vice chairman of a cluster-level civilization.
wealth? There is no meaning, resources have always been unowned, and wealth is just a false definition.
Beauty? Early and crooked, the mated species of various colors can circle the star several times.
power? Experienced, wipe the entire planet from the map with terrible weapons.
Aesop is really tired of life. This is not a derogatory meaning, but a literal meaning. There is only a few freedom, curiosity and excitement left in his life!
So he became a treasure hunter traveling and adventurous everywhere. His whereabouts were erratic. Only when he was on the verge of danger could he feel alive. Therefore, when setting up, Aesop would never stay out of the way, nor would he hide behind the scenes to secure the victory. To create a fair situation for the opponent and give the opponent a chance to taste the fruits of victory, this is a dangerous game for him:
Won, he was empty.
He was happy when he lost.
Living too long will really become difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Aesop also took off his disguise, revealing his appearance as a middle-aged and elderly person, and smiled heartily, "It seems that my apprentice has found a great partner."
Han Xiao also laughed together, there was no flaw on the surface, but other thoughts came to mind.
He was murderous.
Such a powerful prophet, even if he is not his enemy, but who can guarantee that he will not be a threat to him in the future?
Han Xiao is very clear about Aesop's abilities and abilities are prophecies, so the combat power is approximately zero. As long as you catch this prophet, killing him is not much harder than killing a chicken.
This is a good opportunity to get rid of hidden dangers. Just tell Emersy that she didn't find her teacher and let Aesop "miss" forever.
and so,
Do you want before Emersy arrives...
Killed him? !
Han Xiao's eyes flickered, as a chaos, in his eyes no one must die.
Likewise, no one can't be killed.
