Chapter 480 The Prophet of Longevity, Aesop Harriken
three days later.
In the northern space port of Norios, the port hall is bustling with people, and the heads of different creatures are everywhere. Countless travelers stay here or leave on board. An ordinary female cosmic human is carrying a bag and walking slowly. .
In fact, another person is hiding under this disguise, and it is the target that Han Xiao and his party are looking for - the teacher who once adopted Emersy as a child and guided her to awaken her super talent.
His name is "Aesop", and his ability is prophecy, but compared to the rare prophecy ability, his race is even rarer.
Aesop was born before the star sea calendar, he is a long-lived species who has lived for an unknown number of years.
Long before Han Xiao came into contact with the teleportation mage, Aesop predicted that Han Xiao and others would refuse to participate in his "game". The ability to predict is vague, because the future is full of uncertainty and will change at any time. If the future cannot be changed, Then the prediction is meaningless. Generally speaking, a goalless prediction usually only sees a fog. The ability to activate must have a theme, that is, "incentives", which are used to contain the possibility of the future.
The more experienced predictors will set up more factors to confine the future. The various clues and mischievous arrangements left by Aesop are all his layouts to confine the possibilities.
The future is in a superposition state, and the "incentive" 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 is, he will definitely eat. Aesop deliberately left traces of whereabouts for this purpose, so that those who come to search for him will follow the clues left by him. If a bead rolls in all directions on flat ground, But now the bead fell into a groove and could only move back and forth, which meant that the "future" changed from a free-form answer question to a multiple-choice question with limited options, and in this way, his prophecy could see the future.
Prophecy cannot see too far into the future, and it has no combat power. The ability itself is not very powerful. It is the user who is powerful - being a prophet requires brains!
At this time, Aesop had already bought a seat on a long-distance flight. Even if he didn't use the foresight, he had already seen through Han Xiao's purpose. There is no escape.
"Too tender." Aesop was amused in his heart, such an obvious intention, a fool could not see it, and rejected his request, thinking that he would stay on this planet foolishly, wouldn't he leave?
Putting himself in his shoes, if Aesop faced Han Xiao’s situation, he felt that he would pretend to agree to find the Heart of Crystal Fire, and then procrastinate like this, at least it would be better than directly refusing… But no matter what Han Xiao chooses, the result will be the same , In fact, Aesop didn't intend to stay at all, even if Han Xiao pretended to agree, he would still leave.
"If my request is agreed to, my follow-up arrangements will get them into trouble, and they will be kicked out of this planet by the Norios Consortium. Even if they reject my request and plan to delay, after I leave, Ai If Moss can't find me, she will blame this group of cadres who gave up halfway and 'missed the opportunity', and make them unlucky."
"From the moment you get the clues I left from the intelligence organization, the result is already doomed." Under the disguise mask, Aesop smiled, "You use my name indiscriminately, I will punish you slightly, it is very fair."
"Yeah?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind, and with a snap, a hand was placed on Aesop's shoulder.
Aesop's face changed suddenly, his body stopped suddenly, and he turned around slowly.
I saw a strange man standing behind him. This man rubbed off a thin mask like a cicada's wings on his face, revealing Han Xiao's face.
"Your Excellency Aesop Harricon, good fucking morning."
Han Xiao smiled.
"How do you know I'm here?" Aesop was startled, his eyes changed slightly, flashing surprise.
He didn't ask why Han Xiao was here - there was no need to explain this matter, he realized it later, and he figured it out immediately. At this time, he was puzzled by another question.
There are five ports in Norios, why can the opponent accurately find the correct one?
It seems that I heard Jenny mention it, and it seems that this black star is also a prophet.
"Good question, let me introduce you." Han Xiao pulled out a person from the side, took off the mask on the person's face, revealed Fording's face, and said hesitantly: "This is my mascot."
"...you mean to try your luck?"
Aesop's face froze, and then he was relieved. A skilled prophet like him knows very well that there is never a perfect layout, and even the most exquisite plans are often broken by accident. Although luck is uncertain, the simplest thing is The most inexplicable.
Han Xiao has the Destiny's Child card. He understands the way of the seer and the so-called inducement, but this time he didn't use the Destiny's Child card.
When he refused the request, based on his understanding of Aesop, he knew that Aesop could easily see through his "intent", so there was only one choice before Aesop. In order to avoid the coming Emersy, he had to If you can leave Norios by spaceship, then the possibilities are limited. You only need to let everyone disperse the five airports to guard, which is the place where Aesop must pass.
In this way, Aesop was caught in a dilemma. If he didn't leave, he would be found, and if he left, he might be found.
Therefore, even if Aesop had foreseen this possibility, he had to fall into this trap—not to mention that Aesop did not use his ability 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 the fans of the authorities. Aesop wants Han Xiao to act according to his rules of the game, but Han Xiao turns his back on the guest, making his interlocking layout into a two-sided Competing in a fair environment for luck, and then Han Xiao used his rich experience to defeat him——For any problem of luck, Fording can kill the Quartet.
Aesop's crappy disguise to deceive the airport's identity check is okay, and the veteran disguiser Han Daji has long been on guard against this move.
According to the normal way of thinking, after Aesop's layout, if he leaves Norios early, the plan will be unsolvable, which means that he will be invincible. However, Han Xiao has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he has known in his previous life What kind of personality is Aesop? This long-lived old monster has experienced too many things, and his personality is weird.
Power? Not interesting, he was once the vice-chairman of a star cluster civilization.
wealth? There is no meaning, resources are always unowned, and wealth is just a false definition.
Beauty? It's already tired and crooked, and the various species that have mated can circle the star several times.
strength? Experience it, wipe entire planets off the map with terrifying weapons.
Aesop is really tired of living. This is not a derogatory term, but a literal meaning. There are only a few interesting things left in his life-freedom, curiosity and excitement!
So he became a treasure hunter who travels and adventures everywhere. His whereabouts are erratic. Only when he is on the verge of danger can he experience the feeling of being alive. Creating a fair situation for the opponent, giving the opponent a chance to taste the fruits of victory, is a dangerous game for him:
Won, he was empty.
Lost, he is happy.
If you live too long, it will really become difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Aesop also took off his disguise, revealing his appearance as a middle-aged and elderly man, and smiled heartily, "It seems that my apprentice has found a powerful partner."
Han Xiao also laughed along with him. There was no flaw on the surface, but other thoughts floated in his heart.
——He was murderous.
Such a powerful prophet, even if he is not his enemy, who can guarantee that the future will not pose a threat to him?
Han Xiao is very aware of Aesop's ability. The ability is a prophecy, so the combat power is about zero. As long as you catch this prophet, killing him is not much more difficult than killing a chicken.
This is a good opportunity to get rid of hidden dangers. Just tell Emersy that she has not found her teacher and make Aesop "disappear" forever.
so,
Should I... before Emersy arrives...
kill him? !
Han Xiao's eyes flickered. As a chaoticist, no one had to die in his eyes.
Likewise, there is no one who cannot be killed.
