Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

Chapter 152: The Ultimate of Data Deduction

"Correction: Captain, once Miss Yuexia has the qualifications, she will immediately become an extremely powerful destiny walker."

"Extremely powerful?" The captain raised his eyebrows and immediately understood.

The control of Honkai energy is immediately seamlessly connected to imaginary energy. The Honkai energy controlled by Yuexia herself will also be transformed into imaginary energy. In addition, after becoming a Destiny Walker, she has obtained the authority to call imaginary energy under the Destiny. The Valkyrie Armor will most likely undergo nested evolution like her own portable space...

It's simply that one plus one plus one is greater than three.

Other destiny walkers don't have such a luxurious [initial set] as Yuexia.

"I think I understand..." The captain exhaled softly and smiled gently, "To be honest, I'm suddenly looking forward to the moment when Yuexia becomes a destiny walker."

"All living beings who fulfill their destiny will leave dazzling traces on their own paths, no matter who they are." Screw Gumu seemed to be quoting the words from other living beings, with a gentle smile in his voice, "Miss Yuexia will certainly shine with her own dazzling light."

"Thank you for your good words." The captain smiled and nodded at Screw Gum.

Screw also nodded, took the initiative to give up the seat next to Black Tower, and signaled the captain to come forward.

The captain walked behind the black tower and looked at the screen.

In the corner of the screen, a picture is monitoring the actions of Yuexia in the simulated universe in real time.

Combining it with the keyword document next to it, the captain looked at it for a moment and understood what Yuexia was doing in the simulated universe.

She is teaming up with the Sea Ranger to investigate an intergalactic flesh and blood smuggling case of the [Abundance] evil creature.

After checking the contents of the document, the captain finally knew where the data that Black Tower had previously revealed came from.

These are all data collected when Yuexia was teaming up with the Sea Patrol Ranger and fighting against the Bountiful Evil and some interstellar pirates.

The captain looked up at the surveillance video, at the girl with short green hair who was carrying out the infiltration plan side by side with Yuexia, and turned his gaze to Heita, "Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Speak." Heita responded calmly without even raising his head.

"Ruan Mei told me that all the parameters of the simulated universe are based on real data. Is there a possibility..." The captain's eyes turned to the picture, and saw what Yuexia was experiencing. "That green-haired sea ranger really exists, and she is indeed investigating a smuggling case of [Abundant] evil creatures and flesh, but there is no one like Yuexia around her?"

Heita raised an eyebrow and glanced back at the captain, "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"The world is not static, nor does it have an absolute direction." Heita curled his lips. "Looking back at history can still be accurate to a certain extent, but as for the 'present' or even the 'future' you are considering, the only answer I can give you is that I don't know. It may happen, but even if it really happens to collide with each other, do you think this can be considered a kind of 'prophecy'?"

Black Tower said to Yuexia who was leading the Sea Patrol Ranger charging forward in the picture, "Without her talent of being able to smell blood, the Sea Patrol Ranger might not be able to investigate this matter so deeply."

"Conclusion: The assumption is not true." Screw Gumm also chimed in.

"So, the future is uncertain, and fate is by no means unchanging?" The moment the captain asked this, Black Tower and Screw fell into a brief silence.

"It's hard to say. We don't involve this kind of subject, but I can tell you that when it comes to fate, whether it's the fortune tellers of the Immortal Boat or some well-known people who are involved in these mysterious things, they always say that fate is difficult to change." Heita shook his head, but raised his head curiously and looked at the captain, "But I'm more curious, why do you ask such a question?"

"Because I know this person." The captain pointed his finger at the patrol ranger with short dark green hair and a heroic look in the surveillance video. "In other words, she is almost exactly the same as the person I know."

"Lisel Albert Einstein. Maybe she is not called this name in the simulated universe, but it is probably a similar name with the same origin." The captain narrowed his eyes, "Just like... Cocolia on Yalilo. She is not the Cocolia I know, but there are always a few points in the life trajectories of the two Cocolias that overlap slightly."

"Question: Does Miss Yuexia know her?" asked Screw Gum.

"They should know each other. In different world bubbles, there will always be different appearances and life trajectories of the same person. Yuexia may not know the Einstein I know, but she must know a certain Einstein." As the captain was speaking, he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.

He took out his cell phone and saw that it was a message from Ruan Mei, telling the captain that everything was ready and he just had to return to the [confinement compartment] to wake up the [breeding] envoy.

"Let's put these topics aside for now." The captain put his phone back in his pocket. "Ruan Mei is ready. I'll go help her finish collecting data first... We'll talk about the rest later."

"Yeah." Heita nodded, without paying any attention to the captain.

When the breathing sound in the entire office stopped, the puppet in the black tower slowly spoke, "Screw, when we were building the simulated universe, it seems that no one ever thought about the question the captain just raised."

"Question: What the captain wants to express is similar to Laplace's demon?"

"Yes, it's similar." The puppet girl nodded gently. "We keep adjusting the parameters and expanding the boundaries of the simulated universe. We precisely control every detail. From the conclusion, maybe the simulated universe can really predict what will happen in the entire universe?"

"Question: Black Tower, do you think we can really do this?" ScrewGum asked the question in a calm voice, but behind the calm words was the doubt about the outrageous answer that Screw got after making a preliminary calculation using huge amounts of data in an instant.

"I don't think we can do it..." Heita hesitated, "But we can try."

Just as ScrewGum was about to speak, his eyes suddenly flickered, "Breaking news: Star Core Hunter, letter from Silver Wolf."

"Silver Wolf?" Heita raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Screw Gumm.

"Now playing:" Light beams were projected from Screw's eyes, and the landing points of the light beams converged into a virtual image of the petite girl.

“Here is a friendly reminder from [Slave of Fate]:”

[Geniuses of the club, don't invest your limited energy into something that requires unlimited energy to complete. The captain's idea is feasible to a certain extent, but it is definitely not a field that mortals can reach. If the simulated universe deduction project is truly completed...]

【That would be the worst situation.】

[All possibilities will disappear, and the limits of life will change from unknown to known. ]

[Beyond the known range, the wave of [nothingness] will surge rapidly and engulf everything.]

"That's it anyway." The shadow of the Silver Wolf shrugged. "That's why I said that the captain is really a troublesome guy."

"Okay, the letter has been delivered. Bye~"

Then, the shadow of the Silver Wolf disappeared, leaving only Black Tower and Screw Gumm in silence, staring at each other.

Chapter 153: Insect Tide

In the dark elevator, the captain remained silent.

With his right hand on the cross standing at his feet, he stood on the automatically operated elevator, feeling the changes in his coordinates and the increasingly strange external environment. The captain squinted his eyes unconsciously to adapt to the increasingly dark environment.

In terms of spatial coordinates, he was sinking underneath the [confinement compartment], and was at the very center.

According to common intuition, if Ruan Mei wanted to wake up a dangerous guy, she would not set up the test site into a dark scene like in a horror movie.

But, this unreasonable thing just happened so inexplicably.

"So, something happened?" The captain laughed in a low voice.

At the same time, the elevator had slowly descended to a sufficient height. Looking forward, there was a huge circular platform, which was the destination of the platform elevator under the captain's feet.

At this moment, a lot of mechanical fragments and an unknown liquid emitting a dark yellow fluorescence in the dark were scattered on the huge platform. Looking upwards, the huge columnar culture machine had completely exploded, and only some thick cables were still stubbornly pulling the remaining less than one-third of the wreckage hanging in the air.

"Ruan Mei?" The captain picked up the cross at his feet and put it on his shoulder. He stepped onto the huge circular platform and looked around. "Is he still alive?"

"I'm fine." Ruan Mei's voice came from the loudspeaker on the columnar incubator, which occasionally emitted a spark of electricity. "I didn't go to the lowest section, so it's still safe. I activated some early warning measures to prevent the bugs from escaping from the [confinement section]."

"What happened?" The captain narrowed his eyes and looked into the darkness in the cabin. His keen intuition told him that in the darkness, countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.

"I didn't execute the awakening procedure, but the Star Crusher King Worm mutated some organs that were not in my design, and through forced stimulation, it woke up on its own."

"I want to ask a question..." The captain prepared himself mentally. Under the cold gazes in the darkness, he slowly put down the [Pseudo-Oath of Judas] in his hand and began to inject imaginary energy into the cross without leaving any trace.

Judas' mechanical structure, under the infusion of imaginary energy, began to operate at an extremely slow speed.

"You said..." Ruan Mei was able to access real-time monitoring. Although she couldn't see clearly what the captain was doing, she tacitly followed the captain's conversation rhythm to help him buy time.

"What are they doing? What is the [breeding] envoy doing?"

"They are..." Ruan Mei had just finished her words when some rustling sounds and a sharp and strange knocking sound immediately echoed in the dark space.

"nest."

Nesting? Before the captain had time to think, a whistling sound of breaking wind suddenly came from behind him. Without hesitation, the captain kicked Judas in the lower part, and a torrent of imaginary energy poured into the receiver. The moment the cross structure was fully unfolded, the captain turned around, raised a spear of light, and with the force of twisting his waist, he threw the spear of light in the direction of the whistling sound of breaking wind.

The glowing spear of light instantly pierced through the body of the stinging insect, which had no time to dodge or turn.

The elytra stinging insect, with a big hole pierced through its body by the spear of light, let out a sharp and painful scream, and fell from mid-air onto the circular platform, with dark purple insect juice spilling all over the ground.

But the captain didn't even look at the insect struggling on the ground. His eyes followed the direction of the light spear and looked at the dark wall...

No, that was not a dark wall at all. Although it was just a glance, the captain had already seen a scene that made his scalp tingle.

Before the captain could take the next step, there was a sound of breaking wind rushing towards him from three different directions.

The captain's approach was simple. He shot three light spears in succession around Judas who had unfolded the receiver, and this time, he was also observing where the light spears would land.

And he also saw the scene illuminated by the spear of light.

"Captain, are you ready? I'm going to turn on the lights." Ruan Mei's voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Okay." The captain was mentally prepared. He exhaled deeply, raised a light spear in his left hand and his right hand, and narrowed his eyes.

After the captain responded, the lights suddenly came on, but... the light was not bright, but it was able to illuminate the darkness around.

The captain exhaled heavily and said with a smile, "Nguyen Mei, you didn't tell me that they could build a nest so quickly."

"Stinging insects are very sensitive to light. I don't turn on the lights to give them a dark environment so that they don't think about leaving here." Ruan Mei, who was sitting in the main control room and watching the scene on the captain's side through the monitor, also lowered her voice, "I only know that they build nests very quickly, but..."

"I didn't expect it to be so fast." The captain smiled bitterly and looked around.

The captain was standing in the center of the circular platform at this moment. Looking around, he saw that the surrounding walls were covered with densely packed elytra stinging insects, which were stacked up in three layers inside and outside.

All the rustling sounds that had been echoing in the cabin suddenly stopped.

All the elytra stinging insects opened their hard front sheaths, exposing their transparent rear elytra. They vibrated their hind wings, and the countless sea of insects combined the subtle "buzzing" sounds of the individual insects into an exaggerated sound like a huge bell.

"You, be careful." Ruan Mei's voice sounded the moment it sounded.

Countless elytra stinging insects flapped their wings, emitting sharp roars from their mouthparts, and swarmed towards the captain from all directions.

Damn it... The captain cursed in his heart, these bugs are not that powerful to be troublesome, but... they are too disgusting.

"Divine Grace Barrier!!" The captain frowned, casually threw the spear of light in his right hand, then suddenly picked up the cross unfolded on the ground, and then smashed the cross hard onto the circular platform.

Imaginary energy surged into Judas, and the invisible realm opened up instantly.

As the divine grace barrier opened, the shadow of Jianmu Wei appeared in the folded space behind the captain, and the overwhelming imaginary energy poured into the captain's body, helping him maintain his vital signs.

However, the bugs that rushed towards the captain one after another did not have this useful ability.

Almost at the moment of rushing into the divine grace barrier, the first batch of elytra stinging insects lost the strength to flap their wings, lost their balance, and fell straight to the ground.

Then, the light spear thrown by the captain pierced his body.

However...these bugs are not afraid of death at all.

For a moment, the situation was at a stalemate as the captain was unable to kill all the bugs and was being attacked crazily.

Chapter 154: Breaking the Situation

"Let me ask you a question..." Holding a light spear in each hand, the captain shouted amid the roars and flapping wings of the insect swarm, "Can this place withstand the power of [Destruction]?!"

"I know what you want to do..." Ruan Mei's response came from the radio, "The answer is no."

"The confinement compartment is only a part of the entire space station. It cannot withstand the wanton release of imaginary energy." In the main control hall, Ruan Mei looked at the surveillance footage and could understand why the captain made the request.

The Divine Grace Barrier did indeed block the swarm of insects, and the Coleoptera Stinging Insects were indeed killed as soon as they charged in, but there were countless more stinging insects lingering outside the range of the Divine Grace Barrier that was tested with their lives. This group of Coleoptera Stinging Insects that had transformed into roles similar to worker bees did not attempt to attack the captain.

They linger outside the divine node, dragging away as many dead insect corpses as possible, dismantling the bodies of their companions, and quickly throwing them into the cysts of the insect nest. It won't take long before new insects will tear through the cysts and flap their wings to charge forward.

Damn, these bugs are a bit outrageous, aren’t they?

The efficiency of assembling a simple machine on an assembly line is probably not as fast as their hatching!

The captain wielded the light spear, and the sharp spear head whizzed through the insect's hard sheath. He ducked to avoid the juice splashing out of the body of the insect that used itself as a flesh and blood cannonball, and narrowed his eyes.

The captain had a flash of inspiration in his mind just now, and he seemed to have figured out a way to break the deadlock.

Once his energy was focused, the imaginary energy became an observable object in the captain's sight.

Looking around, the first thing he saw was a stream of earth-yellow imaginary energy, which almost filled up the huge platform he was standing on. This energy was floating outside the Divine Grace Boundary, but it was always drifting towards the inside of the Divine Grace Boundary. Although it was quelled in an instant,...

"Pheromones?" The captain narrowed his eyes.

"What?" Ruan Mei's voice came from the tattered loudspeaker.

"These bugs attacking me seem to be releasing pheromones or something similar all the time." The captain narrowed his eyes and looked at the [Worker Insects] that were constantly collecting insect corpses outside the Divine Grace Barrier. Soon, he clearly felt that those [Worker Insects] were observing him, and there were obvious emotions revealed in their tiny eyes.

Fear, hatred, blatant murderous intent, as well as careful observation, and avoiding the gaze that met my own...

These insects are intelligent. Their fearless charge goes against the survival instinct of living things... There must be some reason controlling them.

That [Envoy]!

The captain suddenly lifted Judas at his feet, poured a stream of imaginary energy into the cross, and then penetrated the cross into the ground again.

Restraint chain gun!

As if it could hear the captain's thoughts, the mechanical expansion structure inside the cross instantly popped open, and eight chains shot out with the cross as the center, shooting straight towards the circular wall on the bottom floor of the [confinement compartment].

[Order] The imaginary energy under the destiny climbed and moved along with the chains. The insects that had been continuously attacking the divine grace barrier seemed to have sensed the crisis. With an extremely violent roar, they fearlessly pounced on the eight chains of varying heights that were rooted in the wall, and frantically cut the chains with their mouthparts, forelimbs, and even foreskins.
