[Hmm] Apollonia thought for a while:
[I can help you analyze it. Here, Lao Shang's attitude changed before and after, so he may feel that he has lost his paternal authority in you. 】
"is that so?"
[I guess so. He didn't teach you the craft at the beginning because he felt that he could decide your future, and he might not want you to take this path. However, after noticing some irreparable cracks, he may want to put the choice in your own hands. But it wasn't the time to choose yet, he was just trying to prepare you as much as possible. 】
"Then now is the time."
[Yes. But it seems that you have not communicated verbally before? 】
"Ah, you said that. That is indeed a work habit, and I brought it up. Don't have unnecessary verbal exchanges during working hours, because sometimes he will be a little annoying with his chatter."
[Then Old Shang’s job is amazing. Do you know what the Lighthouse Project is? 】
"I don't know. Do you know?"
【I don't know either. 】
"???You don't even know, how can you say it's amazing?"
[It’s because even I don’t know, that’s why it’s awesome! There is no airtight wall in this world. The larger the plan, the easier it is for the sympathetic link to be breached. Because there are always people who accidentally pass relevant information to public places, and then you can figure it out one by one. So far, nothing about Project Lighthouse has been uploaded to the Akashic Records, and I don't know any details other than the names. Even if I hadn't heard the name, I wouldn't even know how to describe it or how to search it. 】
"Um"
[So I still want to confirm. Do you know any other surrounding information about this? 】
"I don't know." Shangluo shook his head, "He went out suddenly that day. Before he went out, he only said that he was going to buy cigarettes. He probably received the transfer suddenly and had no time to explain. Oh, by the way, what is 'Breaking through the Sympathetic Link'? I was also there It’s strange why he didn’t make a single call and just sent a postcard back.”
[That’s right, just using letters instead of phone calls is a way of keeping things confidential. The so-called 'Breakthrough of Sympathetic Links' is an information encryption method based on the six degrees of separation theory. The theory goes like this - you can get to know any stranger through up to six people. Because information cannot exist in a vacuum, it must be known by a person. So this also means that the distance between you and any piece of information in the world is 6 layers. Breaking through the 6 levels of sympathetic links, you can know all the information. 】
"What does breakthrough mean?"
[It literally means social engineering. Breaking through highly confidential information can be particularly troublesome. Because information that really needs to be kept confidential is usually a 'single line' contact. Only by finding a specific chain and breaking through it layer by layer can you find the information you need. Therefore, Rome has a deep knowledge of this. The six degrees of separation theory has only a 48% chance of being effective, and important secrets can reach 7 or even 9 levels. 】
"Huh? So. How does this theory retrieve information? Doesn't the Akashic Records not upload privacy?"
[Akashic records do not upload privacy, but they can be used to locate identity, motivation, and actions. As long as you know this, all problems will be solved. Let me give you an example: Is the three-body problem unsolvable? 】
"To be precise, there is no analytical solution to the three-body problem. There is no way to get the rules just through observation. Because the three-body system is chaotic."
【Yes. Is it actually impossible to predict chaos? Yes, there is no way to predict, but you can keep observing and observe the 'one'. If you observe the moment when the three-body motion goes from rest to creation, you just need to keep observing. Progress through the layers of identity, motivation, and action until you are able to observe the information you need. 】
"In other words, if you want to establish sympathetic shielding, it must be established based on identity, motivation and action? What about time and place?"
[There is no time in the Akashic Records, but identity, action, and motivation do. Synaesthesia can be achieved by building up layers of identity, motivation, and actions. For example, the link between you and Lao Shang has been disconnected since that day. From there, you are disconnected all the way, so you can't ask him about his movements. Do you want me to simulate it for you? 】
"Well try it."
[Then let’s put aside the matter between you and Lao Shang, and let’s establish such a simulated relationship: Xiao Hong went to Xiao Ming’s house to find Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming’s mother said that Xiao Ming went to the river to catch fish. However, Xiao Ming lied and went to the mountain to pick walnuts - so can Xiao Hong find Xiao Ming this afternoon through Xiao Ming's mother's narrative? 】
"Probably not, so the distance between the mountain and the river is probably relatively far."
[So here’s the key: There is actually a sympathetic barrier and a mask between Xiao Ming and his mother. The closer the relationship, such as the parent-child relationship, the easier it is to establish a mask. Because the trust between parents and children is often unconditional. Xiao Ming's mother will unconditionally believe his motive of "fishing", but will not know that his real motive is "picking walnuts". Of course, if Xiao Ming often lies to his mother, the trust will be maintained for a short time. After the time is up, Xiao Ming's mother will also start looking for him, and the mask will become ineffective. 】
"So when Xiao Ming didn't lie, he said he was going to the river, and he went to the river. Then I can go to the river to find him?"
[That’s it, so this is the offense and defense of the sympathetic barrier. You can see that Shang Bufan left suddenly, and you don't know his motives at all. Because the motive is disconnected here, where will the follow-up business go? What did you do? You can't possibly know these actions. So the sympathetic link is broken here. There is simply no way to find him through you. 】
"Is there any flaw? There is no airtight wall in this world."
[There are flaws, and there are many. And it's not just pure social engineering, there is magic here - for example, the sympathetic link between twins cannot be severed no matter what. Therefore, in this kind of plan, the Romans usually excluded twins; in addition, although the Akashic records themselves will not be leaked, your 'silhouette' may. To protect the silhouette, we need to protect it at night; in short, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. Information confrontation is a visible war here in Rome. The branch-breaking ceremony is part of it. It looked like the Romans were getting tougher. But in the dive just now, I seemed to be able to dive normally? 】
"Yes, you can talk inside too."
[You can enter five people, right? So this time, let me end. Tell Titus that you have found the fifth man. 】
