On April 28, 2097, it was the weekend, and the moon was out of phase, but it was still a bright light, which persisted through the night. Whether you are on the shore or on the lake, you have a broad field of vision, and the lake and sky seem to be dust-free.
In Bancheng, it is said that such moonlight can shine through the Beishan Lake and reach the ruins of the ancient capital under the lake, transcending the souls of the dead. Therefore, many residents of Bancheng go on family trips to the shores of Beishan Lake to enjoy the stunning scenery of "Moonlin Mountain Island". Some people set off fireworks or took boats to swim on the lake. It was not until midnight that the fireworks gradually subsided.
Thanks to the moonlight, Mr. Sakaemon's incense has been very strong these past two days, so much so that the clusters of small white flowers among the branches and leaves seem to be able to store the dew of the moonlight, and they are dazzlingly bright against the green leaves.
Yin Le stood on the top deck, looking at the lakeshore where the crowds were gradually dwindling. Most of his eyes were directed at that special camphor tree. She was only two or three kilometers away from the lake shore, and the person on the shore must have noticed it. The aquatic plants near the shore were also particularly active, creating layers of light ripples in the shallow water.
"A very cautious guy."
Yin Le has no intention of challenging Sakaemon's warning bottom line. Speaking of which, he must have been frightened in the past two days... Well, the surrounding residents are actually having a hard time, but everyone is in a daze and forgets everything when they wake up. If you want to be "independent", you can't blame others.
With a smile, Yin Le sent a signal to the crew. The yacht Ray turned around, like a half-propelled dolphin, showing off its skills by swimming on the sparkling Beishan Lake. It cut through the waves and soon covered the trees and rocks on the south bank of Beishan Lake. The embankment is left behind.
But at this time, Yin Le's mind still maintained a vague connection with that side. She does not have this ability herself, and what she relies on is the Blood Soul Temple in the Yuan District. It is through the magic of Blood Soul Temple that she can collect the agitated emotions that are constantly gathering and supercharging in the relatively vast area on the south bank of Beishan Lake...
From a dream.
In front of Yin Le, the virtual workspace was always lit, forming a wonderful light and color balance with the falling moonlight. In addition, a virtual keyboard area was also projected, and Yin Le's long fingers flew on it, drafting letters.
Yin Le chose this more retro approach to sort out some of the things she had done, experienced, and reasoned about during the three days or so that she arrived in Sancheng, looking for a continuous thread in order to better understand thousands of people far away. Statement from boss kilometers away.
"... So far, only 25% of the total budget of the operation has been spent, and almost all items are lower than expected. Except for basic consumables, this item has been overspent four times... Mr. Ronan has demonstrated amazing efficiency, whether it is The way he arrived in Sakai City was still the same as what he did after arriving. It only took him an hour to achieve the basic goal he set at the beginning. All the following time was used by him in arduous and monotonous training and experiments. .”
After reviewing the previous draft, Yin Le thought for a moment and continued writing: "I believe that Mr. Ronan has a talent. In his brain, there must be a 'logical system' that we cannot understand. Here , I exclude words such as 'divine' and 'omniscient' because I have repeatedly seen Mr. Ronan think for a long time and even verify the process before making incredible judgments. He still retains something similar to human beings. thinking habits, but the methods are very different.”
At this time, the yacht deflected slightly, and the angle of the moonlight was also slightly different. The virtual workspace automatically adjusted the color brightness, creating a weak wave light change. The speed of Yin Le's fingers was not affected. Instead, it related to the current field. The magical experiences over the past few days came flooding back, forcing her to forget about wording and making sentences. She just wanted to talk about it:
"Regarding Mr. Ronan's thinking, I have seen at least two different thinking programs. One is the configurational thinking that the cult most urgently needs - I believe that Mr. Ronan already has a highly mature system in this field. Pattern. In his eyes, all material and spiritual structures, including the action forms of extraordinary powers, can basically be classified as configuration problems.
"I have mentioned to you before the complex relationship between the snake language and the deformed camphor tree. I hope that my description will not cause trouble to you. In fact, the words I used to express are just the composition of Mr. Ronan's drawing. It’s just a poor description of the graphics..."
Here, Yin Le no longer bothered to express anything, and directly inserted the three-dimensional architecture diagram that Ronan drew on this issue two days ago as an attachment. The effect of automatic typesetting is so cool that plain text seems to jump.
The complex maze-like architectural diagram does not show the image of a big tree or a beautiful woman at all, but more like a perspective view of some kind of complex machine. According to Ronan, it includes the echo between the dynamic qi movement of the Snake Whispering Body and the camphor tree several kilometers away, as well as the interaction between this pattern and the surrounding environment. They can be intuitive and ordered, can be split, reorganized, optimized according to certain rules, and form a more closely related system... The above are all Ronan's statements and demonstrations, and Yin Le can only accept them all. and copy it.
After doing this, Yin Le quickly got rid of this field that she was not good at at all, and began to talk about another strange process that she was more concerned about and is still promoting: "As for the second thinking program, maybe you have learned from blood. There are signs of changes in the Soul Temple. In recent days, the residents of Sakai City have been very agitated, and the sect even took the opportunity to develop a few light believers. These changes originated from Mr. Ronan, who was working in a similar way to " The method of "Entrance into Dreams" is to obliterate the dreams of people in Sakagi - he calls this method 'creation', and the following are related works."
Yin Le inserted the second attachment, which was a psychic picture that Ronan had just created last night. The picture on it is relatively abstract. In Yin Le's opinion, Ronan painted a stormy weather at sea, with the silhouette of a giant ship teetering on the waves. However, the most eye-catching thing on it is the three groups of gray air columns. It's like three seaspouts placed opposite each other, occupying more than half of the space of the picture.
Ronan did not deliberately hide his actions, and even actively invited Yin Le to watch, saying that "it can be interpreted from multiple angles." That's why Yin Le dared to pass this psychic picture to Mrs. Halder and added his own judgment.
She did not forcefully interpret the psychic diagram, but talked about her overall impression of Ronan: "I feel that Mr. Ronan has a strange sense of dislocation. He obviously has incredible talents and abilities, and he also firmly believes in his own unique logical system. , but in specific judgments, they often unconsciously underestimate their own strength and the impact of corresponding actions... With Mr. Ronan's perception and judgment, such misalignment should not occur. Perhaps, the frame of reference he chose has a problem.
"I believe Mr. Ronan is facing tremendous pressure. In Sakai, from what I saw, he gave up all entertainment activities, except for those difficult-to-understand thoughts, which is to carry out high-level activities between two energy centers. Intense exercise. He was very nervous, as tight as a bow, as if he was about to fight against the enemy of life and death at any time, but the horned demon that had been so popular these days was not qualified to be his enemy...
"I can't tell where his enemies come from, but the bottom line for my judgment is that they are extraordinary people. What makes me very puzzled is that with Mr. Ronan's transcendent status in the Xia City branch, one or two extraordinary people can easily This does not seem to be enough to put such huge pressure on him. Considering the secrecy of Mr. Ronan's activities in Sakai City, I have a guess: he is probably going to face an opponent independently who is difficult to disclose to outsiders. , considering that his conflicts with Quantum Corporation and the Justice Order have become public, the enemy is unlikely to come from these two forces, so it is very likely that it comes from within the esper association system. Of course, it may also involve certain things that cannot be disclosed to the outside world. The hidden benefits of human speech.
"This guess can explain the problem of the 'reference system', and it can also partially explain the problem of the 'psychic diagram'. Because Mr. Ronan only considers the level of extraordinary species, and this is probably an opportunity exclusive to us, a real This is an opportunity to unify our position with Mr. Ronan. During my stay in Sakai, should I try to understand this information and express my attitude more clearly to Mr. Ronan? Boss, please decide."
At this point, the letter has come to an end. There are still some things that do not convey the meaning, so Yin Le will correct them one by one later. She read the letter through again, searching to see if she had missed any key information, but the more she read, the more subtle it became: between the lines, she seemed to have some kind of misalignment - in terms of position.
Yin Le was in a daze, and at this moment, the speed of the yacht suddenly dropped significantly and stopped quickly. She frowned and was about to contact the crew supervisor when a message came from the other side first: "A strong magnetic field appeared in the surrounding area, and the electronic equipment on the ship was interfered with... It seems like that person was cruising nearby!"
Yeah?
Yin Le stood up. Because he was from a high position and had a wide field of vision, he shifted his gaze for a moment and saw a relatively calm lake in the distance. Suddenly, strange bubbles surged up in one place, and ripples began to form on the water.
Half a second later, under the moonlight, a still stubborn shadow structure emerged from the lake water and floated up step by step. Without looking at the follow-up, Yin Le knew that it was a combat machine composed of flesh and steel.
The opponent's body quickly emerged from the water. According to the data, the combined weight of the flesh and steel should exceed 300 kilograms, and the density is much greater than water. But this exoskeleton armor and its operator never intended to rely on buoyancy. The strong and rigid body surpassed the rippling clear water, and also ran over the almost empty transparent air, shining under the bright moon. Between the lake and the sky, it slowly rises and floats in mid-air.
In the low-power stealth mode, the magnetic levitation and jet devices are always turned off, and the gloomy multi-functional stealth coating also swallows and distorts the moonlight, making this combat machine like a ferocious and oppressive demonic shadow; but the surroundings can vaguely resonate. The lake air seems to have turned into an exclusive choir, singing together the majesty and holiness.
Yin Le lowered his head subconsciously, showing due humility to the person on the lake.
