"Stop! What are you doing?!"
The distorted "phantom" looked toward the location of the time traveler, and its unclear face seemed to show a smile. This was also the last fragment of Yu Tai Shinichi's consciousness.
Information Integration Thoughts: Chapter 660 The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2)
The situation is worse than expected.
After occupying the entire "existence" of the transmigrator as a shell to resist the omnipresent "information invasion," Lin Yi, who had temporarily eliminated the crisis of being assimilated or erased, finally had time to observe carefully.
First, there is the sealing power that permeates the entire world.
Structurally, they are similar to the world of "Aria the Scarlet Ammo" that I just left. They seal certain "extraordinary" abilities. However, they are more stable in structure, and the objects of the seal are no longer limited to oneself—but are global. According to Lin Yi's observation of this transmigrator, he was also one of the objects of the seal. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why a star-level being would be eliminated without any ability to resist... He is the cheapest star-level being.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, these sealing powers should only target transmigrators, and shouldn't have much impact on the native inhabitants of the land.
Next comes the equally ubiquitous information invasion... or rather, information modification.
This is also one of the culprits behind Lin Yi's predicament after entering this world. Unlike previous worlds, this world seems to have had an enormous information entity before Lin Yi entered, instinctively transforming all information different from itself into traits that favor its own. Otherwise, even if Lin Yi's abilities were sealed, he wouldn't have been in such a precarious situation. However, now that there's a protective "shell," he can temporarily ignore it.
In the end, it was an answer that was somewhat expected.
The Transmigrator Alliance also left its mark on this world, and its quality and quantity are on a completely different level from other worlds. This is evident from the fact that it was caught red-handed by a star-level transmigrator who was clearly patrolling around as soon as it entered.
"Could it be that the lower limit has been capped?"
When Lin Yi entered this world, he could sense the existence of a kind of "filter layer," which seemed to forcibly block those individuals whose energy did not meet the standard. Lin Yi successfully entered by using the power brought by the "Nuclear Fusion Fist (100 million tons)," but ironically, this power was sealed immediately after entering.
"What kind of operation is it to select individuals with great power, but then prevent them from using that power?"
Without sufficient information, Lin Yi was unable to reach a conclusion. Just as he was about to leave, a figure that appeared out of nowhere confirmed one thing for him: the indigenous people were indeed unaffected.
It was clear that the man in the high school uniform was not used to this "spatial teleportation" ability. After appearing, he leaned against the wall next to him and took a few deep breaths before looking at Lin Yi. His gaze revealed undisguised resistance.
"I'm an official from another world. What are you doing here?"
Analyzing the positions and relationships of both sides from these few words, Lin Yi felt somewhat regretful that many methods could not be used. Otherwise, there would be no need for such trouble; he could simply extract the parts of their memories that he needed.
"I'm sorry, I'm not an employee of the organization, so I shouldn't need to report to you."
Seeing the increasingly disgusted expressions on the natives' faces, Lin Yi was certain that the transmigrators' relationship with this native force was not good—perhaps even worse than expected. Indeed, as "invaders from another world," transmigrators seemed unable to coexist peacefully with natives in any world; they either had to subdue them or kill them. This world was probably the first time they had encountered such a situation.
Perhaps due to limitations in peaceful circumstances, or perhaps out of fear of something in the "other world," the member of the organization ultimately left after only saying a few perfunctory words, "I will report to my superiors," before departing... Rather than guarding Lin Yi, the main reason was probably to ascertain the situation here.
At this stage, it seems that the only thing that can attract the attention of these indigenous people is their sudden arrival.
"interesting."
Wearing an "information shell" created by the energy of the stars within a transmigrator's body, and ignoring the information around him, Lin Yi officially stepped into this world.
In general, this world is not much different from Earth in the early 21st century, if you ignore the aliens, time travelers, superpowered beings, and otherworldly people who are gradually taking root on this planet.
Of course, because of the "main god", this world did not quickly evolve into a war between the natives and the invaders like other worlds invaded by transmigrators. Instead, they maintained enough restraint. Although there were conflicts on a small scale, wars that would cause social unrest never occurred.
The "settings" of the world limit the destructive potential of transmigrators. It is indeed difficult to fight against the natives in this world using ordinary methods. Moreover, their target is not this ordinary world itself, but the "main god" who disappeared in this world.
After searching, the transmigrators have identified four individuals they suspect may possess the "God Space," each related to one of the world's three most powerful local forces, as well as the undisputed "protagonist."
As an organization that is "native" in both time and space, it is one of them. After all, if someone really obtains the "main god", it is not difficult to make a group of ordinary people gain the ability "awakening" without their knowledge through a large number of internal exchanges. After all, the Transmigrator Alliance itself is doing this.
Those who claim to be from the future are also a possibility. After all, given the transmigrators' understanding of the "Main God Space," it would be incredibly easy for them to rewind time within a story world. If someone obtained the "Main God Space," observed the future, and then created this organization of people from the future, it wouldn't be impossible.
Next is the Information Integration Thought Entity, a colossal entity whose traces are spread throughout the galaxy, and in many ways resembles the "Main God Space".
Finally, there's the protagonist, Haruhi Suzumiya, who possesses "god-like" influence and interference abilities without realizing it. In the minds of the transmigrators, this is generally considered the most likely option. Otherwise, it's impossible to explain how Haruhi Suzumiya, who appears to be just an ordinary person, could suddenly gain endless energy and manipulate and modify the world at will without any restrictions.
Over the course of two days, Lin Yi, who was using the identity of Yu Tai Shinichi to gather intelligence within the Transmigrator Alliance, did not immediately focus his attention on this "protagonist" or the information integration thought entity. Instead, he turned his attention to the "future person".
"...Time travel?"
Information Integration Thoughts: Chapter 661 The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (3)
This was not the first time Lin Yi had come across the phenomenon of "time travel." During the fragment war with the "Spark Source," Lin Yi had encountered a similar ability in a Skynet world under his control. In that world, the natives were able to create time travel devices that could travel from the future to the past using almost ridiculous technical theories and materials. After consulting with the main god, it was determined to be a useless product that could only be used in that world.
Even so, Lin Yi conducted an in-depth analysis of the technology afterward and had to regretfully abandon it: it turned out that the same technology would only turn into an iron coffin that couldn't even be connected to a power source in another world.
Although he gave up on one possibility, it didn't mean that Lin Yi would completely abandon this technology that could interfere with time. It's just that many of the phenomena and abilities related to "time" that he encountered afterward were either "fake" or "special circumstances," so Lin Yi still doesn't have any means to actually interfere with time, let alone control it.
Now that the system has evolved to such a massive extent, perhaps this "fragment" has indeed mastered this method.
"We need to confirm this."
Lin Yi didn't want to be overturned by the enemy shouting "the world!" at the last moment before victory in the fragment war; that would be utterly foolish.
While the energy each side controls is important in the fragmentation war, it is not the only deciding factor; intelligence also plays a crucial role.
After making the decision, Lin Yi began to work from within the Transmigrator Alliance, trying to conceal his identity while searching for information about people from the future.
Like other fictional worlds, the transmigrators also have their own understanding of the "plot" of this world, including many aspects related to people from the future.
"Future people" refers to people who are in the future in terms of time, and there are organizations similar to government agencies among them.
Their mission is to steer current events back on track, ensuring history remains unchanged and thus protecting their own existence. Because if the future is altered, the original future humans will cease to exist, giving rise to parallel worlds independent of the original one.
The reason they appeared in this era is quite simple: one day, people from the future discovered a massive spacetime rift in the fourth dimension, preventing them from traveling back to a point in the past. Since this is not something that normal people can physically do, it attracted the attention of people from the future, and then they discovered "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya".
This is the most important link in the limited intelligence that the Transmigrator Alliance has. The rest are either due to insufficient authority of Yu Tai Shinichi or because the transmigrators don't know much about them and can't make contact. Therefore, while Lin Yi plans to contact these people from the future, he also tries to increase the authority of the "Yu Tai Shinichi" alias. Perhaps there is still a lot of information to be obtained from the Transmigrator Alliance, which is a temporary "backbone".
The actions of "Yutai Shinichi" in accepting missions related to the plot characters did not encounter any surprises. On the contrary, after confirming that "Yutai Shinichi" was indeed willing to complete these missions, the members of the Transmigrator Alliance expressed great goodwill.
After some questioning, I learned the reason.
This world is dangerous—that much is certain. There are native opponents who are far superior to humans, yet the transmigrators are not allowed to use abilities above the human level. It's like having a planet-destroying cannon in your hand and then having to fight against machine guns and cannons with a wooden stick and a longsword. No one but a madman would do that.
However, due to the existence of the "Main God Space," the Transmigrator Alliance had to maintain a high degree of vigilance and caution towards this world. This led to a large number of transmigrators adopting a passive approach after entering this world: trying to avoid trouble and just waiting for the time to run out.
Participate in the mission?
Just kidding. If they were to fight to the death of the solar system and then die from exhaustion, they could barely accept it. But to die a miserable death like an ordinary person in some unknown corner would be an insult to them, who are at the star level.
However, the entry threshold for this world is firmly locked at the star level, leaving the Transmigrator Alliance in an awkward, neither-here-nor-there position. They can only make limited progress by relying on transmigrators like "Yu Tai Shinichi" who "suddenly have a bold idea." Of course, coercion is possible, but you can force someone to do something, but you can't control them from disrupting the plot. If someone were to have a sudden urge to assassinate Haruhi Suzumiya, whether it succeeds or not is another matter, but at the very least, they would definitely be unable to stay in this world.
Therefore, after confirming Lin Yi's mental state (to be wary of the existence of madmen like the Restoration Cult) and signing a series of confidentiality agreements and prohibitions, Lin Yi not only received several missions about people from the future, but also received a prop solemnly handed to him by the Transmigrator Alliance.
Through this prop, Lin Yi finally understood why the Transmigrators Alliance's abilities were blocked in this world but they hadn't been completely crushed by the natives.
Closed Space (Alternative Version)
Centered on the user, an independent space is created, determined by the user's maximum information processing capacity, with independent rules within the closed space.
Use everything in the world
Rating: 94
Exchange Points: None (for non-exchangeable items)
Note: In some people's hands it's worthless, in others it's priceless.
3/3 of the remaining uses
Seeing Lin Yi's surprised expression, the transmigrator named Sigtel seemed to be used to it: "This thing was designed by a veteran specifically for this world. Although it can't make you a god on the spot, it's enough to unleash your original star-level combat power in it. Apart from the SOS Brigade, if you encounter any natives who threaten your life, don't hesitate to drag them into the closed space and kill them. The Transmigrator Alliance will be your strongest support."
He patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, and Lin Yi said "thankfully" in response, "I understand."
This support seems even stronger than expected, which means Lin Yi can now revise many of his plans.
Perhaps because there are too few transmigrators willing to carry out missions in this world, after providing Lin Yi with the "Closed Space (Alienated Version)," a powerful weapon with limited uses, Siegtell also kindly provided Lin Yi with a starting point for the mission.
"It's pretty much what you know. Regarding the SOS Brigade, this destabilizing factor, our Transmigrator Alliance has mostly adopted a policy of non-interference so far. Therefore, we can't give you the opportunity to directly contact the future person, namely Asahina Mikuru. However, we have another indirect channel."
As he spoke, he handed a business card to Lin Yi.
"Tsuruya Group?"
"Yes, to be precise, your target is the heiress of the Tsuruya Group. She is the native that Asahina Mikuru gets along with best in this era, besides the SOS Brigade. And the Transmigrator Alliance happens to be one of the major shareholders of this group. It won't be a problem to indirectly contact Asahina Mikuru by contacting her."
He paused for a moment, then continued, “Most importantly, try not to let the other members of the SOS Brigade—especially Haruhi Suzumiya—be aware of our existence as ‘otherworldly beings,’ unless you intend to become a true ‘otherworldly being’ like those time travelers, aliens, and superpowered individuals.”
Information Integration Thoughts: Chapter 662 The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (4)
The process of Lin Yi's contact with the future person Asahina Mikuru through the young lady of the Tsuruya Group did not involve any unexpected events. There are not many unexpected events in this world. Even if there were, under the enormous power of the Transmigrator Alliance, there was almost no possibility of an outbreak. However, the consequence of using "external power" instead of making active contact was that the "Tsuruya senior's" impression of Lin Yi declined - no one wants to be threatened, even if the purpose of the threat is just to meet someone.
"This is Mikuru's contact number. I hope this is the only time we'll meet. Also, don't let me find out what bad things you're planning to do, or even if Father scolds me, I will make you pay the price!"
Without waiting for Lin Yi's reaction, Senior Tsuruya stormed off.
In her mind, Lin Yi was probably confirmed to be a villain who had taken a liking to Asahina Mikuru's beauty and then used his influence over the Tsuruya Group to force her to hand over her contact information. Of course, Lin Yi didn't intend to pay any attention to this perception of her.
He directly entered the phone number into the phone that Siegtler had specifically given to Lin Yi, saying it was a way to avoid being tapped, and then pressed the dial button.
A few seconds later, a questioning voice came from the other side.
"Who is it?"
"An alien from another world."
Regardless of the purpose, concealing one's identity as an "otherworldly being" is not something that must be persisted in. In order to make the operation go more smoothly, Lin Yi revealed himself without any pressure: "There are some things I need to confirm with you, future people."
Such a direct exchange seemed to make the person from the future flustered. After a brief commotion, Mikuru Asahina finally responded weakly, "Um... I need my superior's approval... and I don't know much, you know?"
"It's fine to send someone else."
Glancing at Tsuruya-senpai, who was secretly observing from a distance, she realized that Lin Yi hadn't bothered to hide and was making the call openly. So she decided to give up on leaving and instead "monitor" Lin Yi's actions here, as a small compensation for "tricking" Asahina Mikuru.
"I'm just asking you to confirm some information; there's nothing else to it."
Mikuru Asahina hesitated on the other end of the phone.
Her status in the Future Human Organization was not high; if we were to be precise, she would probably be considered a lower-middle-level character. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been assigned to monitor and observe the unknown phenomenon, Haruhi Suzumiya. Keep in mind, this is a mission that even transmigrators of different stars would not accept (otherwise, the SOS Brigade would have one more "otherworldly person" by now).
Her low position meant that the information she possessed was quite limited. Even if she simply handed over some information to others, she still had to report to her superiors. In this case, it would be more direct to let her superiors negotiate with the other party. Moreover, judging from the "otherworldly person's" words, it didn't seem like she was indispensable. In addition, Mikuru Asahina's personality was by no means brave. She quickly made a decision.
"I understand, I will make—Ayame 7, order the gull IV to abandon—"
"Ring ring ring——"
Asahina Mikuru felt a sense of foreboding as she watched the landline phone ring suddenly.
A few minutes later, Lin Yi heard the voice on the other end of the phone again, but the tone was noticeably more subdued than before: "Where should we meet?"
After roughly guessing that she was acting on orders from her superiors, Lin Yi didn't say anything, but instead pointed out a location.
----------segmentation----------
The wait wasn't long; at least, Tsuruya-senpai, who had been "spying" from afar, finally reached her limit and ran out to question Mae Asahina Mikuru about her arrival.
After briefly confirming each other's identities, they went directly into a nearby coffee shop.
Ignoring the increasingly wary gazes behind him, Lin Yi went straight to the point: "I want to know the principles behind your time travel."
"……Eh?"
The person from the future looked up blankly.
Before arriving here, Mikuru Asahina had already obtained a considerable amount of information from her superiors, including what questions this "otherworldly" organization, which had been observing from the sidelines, would raise and how to respond. She hadn't been unaware of the issues related to time travel either. However, shouldn't such questions be based on a certain level of mutual understanding and exchange of benefits? How did it suddenly escalate to this point...?
Seeing Mikuru Asahina's reaction, Lin Yi's tone remained unchanged: "In exchange, we will give you some information about the 'other world,' including our power."
As he said this, he placed the "Closed Space (Alienated Version)" that he had just obtained from Sigtaire not long ago on the table.
As a transmigrator alliance intentionally established by "fragments" to gather information, Lin Yi felt no psychological pressure when betraying them.
Besides, isn't this helping them complete their mission?
The idea of getting something for nothing relies on an imbalance of information or overwhelming power. Obviously, in this world where the settings for transmigrators are extremely harsh, neither applies. Therefore, an exchange system where you have to give something in order to get something is very necessary.
According to Lin Yi's observations within the Transmigrator Alliance, because the transmigrators couldn't determine which character in the storyline the "Main God Space" actually existed in, the Transmigrator Alliance, representing the "otherworldly beings," took almost no substantial action compared to directly placing chess pieces, thought entities, mechanisms, and future people around Haruhi Suzumiya. They had a clear target, Haruhi Suzumiya, while the transmigrators couldn't even determine who their real target was. Rashly sacrificing too much star-level combat power was something even a large and powerful Transmigrator Alliance couldn't afford.
It is precisely for this reason that although the other three local forces have some understanding of each other, they have almost no knowledge of the "otherworldly people" from the Transmigrator Alliance. At this time, when Lin Yi, as a representative of the "otherworldly people," suddenly appeared and said that he wanted to conduct an intelligence transaction with them, it is no wonder that Asahina Mikuru's superiors would directly send her to the front, even at the risk of taking certain risks.
Meeting Lin Yi's calm gaze, Asahina Mikuru looked away like a startled hamster, her voice hesitant: "I can't decide this based on my authority... This is prohibited... I need to... apply to my superiors..."
"can."
After waiting for Mikuru Asahina to finish speaking, Lin Yi picked up the "Closed Space (Alienated Version)" and stood up: "Come find me after you make your decision. I believe that with your methods, this will not be a problem."
The brief meeting came to an end. Lin Yi believed that these people from the future would be interested in beings from "another world," just as he would be interested in their time-traveling technology.
P.S.: Fourth update, please give me some criticism!
