Volume V, Chapter 7, Ghosts in the Mist (I), July 2118

Sima Aya drove down the road, tracking her lost phone. According to her estimates, the tracking signal from the lost phone will last for at least 4 hours, and now, she is only about 5 kilometers away from the target, so there is time to catch the thief.

In the city, driving in the smog is like playing a racing game, because the road conditions basically cannot rely on the naked eye, and must rely on the on-board radar, otherwise the consequences are not imagined. The world in Sima Aya's vision is a world marked by colored lines, triangles, circles, and squares, which is a world like a 3D game screen, superimposed on reality. Thanks to the radar, she can still reach speeds of 50 to 60 km/h in haze with visibility of less than three metres.

In this game world, you have to be very careful, because the game can neither be saved nor read, and like life, it is disposable.

The rail transit in the city is extremely developed, light rail, cloud rail and subway, a three-dimensional rail transit. This makes the city full of rail overpasses. However, Sima Aya can't see the real three-dimensional rail transit system, which is still marked in the form of color graphics in the on-board radar.

The electric car rented by Sima Aya kept playing various advertisements, which was very annoying, and Sima Aya lowered the sound of the advertisements.

Ten minutes later, Sima Aya arrived at a park in the east of the city, and the signal indicated the location: "The thief" was somewhere in the park. It is a "zero smog park", built inside a huge hemispherical dome that looks like a giant gymnasium.

At the entrance of the park, there are advertisements from the Xge Chamber of Commerce: "Zero Smog Park", "Cloud Apartment", "Vehicle Radar", everything you need in the haze, Xge is ready for you!

It's advertising again! SML cursed inwardly and walked into the park.

It was getting late, there were few people in the park, and the air was cold and swishing, making people feel unsafe.

For Sima Aya, no thief in this world is an ordinary thief, maybe in her police career, she will be inclined to believe that it is just an ordinary thief. However, since becoming a member of the NSA, things have changed - what if the other side is "trapping" themselves? "Entrapment" is not uncommon in the world of espionage, and counter-"entrapment" is a must for every agent.

In the world of secret agents, every ordinary person walking on the street could be an enemy, an agent from another country. To ensure the security of the country, you must first ensure your own safety - death is not the most terrible compared to torture.

SML decides to use the secret gear she has with her: she goes to the bathroom, enters a cubicle, and quickly takes off her coat and trousers, revealing her good figure. Of course, this is not Luo Lu's muscle, and what is tightly attached to SML's body is a "Spirit Butterfly 1st Generation" nano invisibility cloak, which is worn inside all clothes, and now, the invisibility cloak has not been activated, and it looks like a layer of mercury wrapped around the surface of SML's body.

SML put on a hood and pressed three buttons on the belt at his waist to release the invisibility cloak and activate the invisibility function.

Sima Aya came to the mirror in the bathroom: I can barely see myself in the mirror.

The surface of the "Spirit Butterfly" is covered with nano-scale cameras and microdisplays, which can show the scene from the back of the wearer to the front and the front to the rear to achieve invisibility. Of course, while the wearer is moving, bystanders can still judge and detect the wearer's presence through the refraction of light through the lens phenomenon, but this is very difficult, and it is even more difficult at night.

The "Butterfly 1" nano camera and microdisplay are used to process visible light information, that is, the wearer of the invisibility suit is invisible in the visible light band.

Sima Aya walked out of the bathroom door, she looked up, a camera hanging high at the bathroom door, like a big eye, staring at herself - from the lens and appearance, Sima Aya judged that the camera did not have infrared sensing function. After wearing the invisibility suit, the agent will be particularly sensitive to the camera and human eyes, just like a mouse is afraid to see a cat, and SML has gradually overcome this sensitivity after a period of training.

She glanced at the camera again and knew that even if the camera could sense infrared light outside of the visible light band, the wearer of the "Spirit Butterfly 1" was not afraid. Because the "Spirit Butterfly" itself will absorb the infrared rays of the human body's radiation, and use the human body's infrared rays to charge the battery of the belt, therefore, the infrared rays of the human body radiation are absorbed, and only a very small amount will radiate to the outside of the invisibility suit - it can be said that the wearer of the "Spirit Butterfly" is also invisible in the infrared band.

Sima Aya took one last look at her phone, then slipped it into the belt of her invisibility suit, and then rushed towards her target.

On the park path, she cautiously followed a girl who was running at night, unaware that a "ghost" was following her. This is also a means for the "invisible man" to protect himself - mixing in the crowd or following behind people can also reduce the chance of exposure - Sima Aya does not think this is a trivial matter, because, cats have nine lives, but she is not a cat.

The coordinates of the "thief" were eventually located in a "smog tower". The "Haze Tower" is a tall tower used to absorb and filter smog in the "Zero Haze Park", which is used to deal with the smog inside the dome, and is generally located in the center of the park. The tower also serves as the pillar of the dome.

(Suction towers?) Sima Aya felt a hint of unease, this was not the place where a thief should be. Sima Aya observed that there was no one around the smog tower, which was an excellent place for hunters to "trap" their prey. However, Sima Aya saw that the control room under the "smog tower" was lit up, and a figure was shaking in the window illuminated by the warm yellow light—perhaps because she was too worried.

SML hesitated for a moment, deciding to approach the "smog tower".

The "smog tower" is surrounded by a barbed wire fence that reads, "Work is important, idlers are not allowed to enter." Sima Aya climbed into the wall. The net wall was not high, but, for fear of scratching the invisibility cloak, she accidentally fell when she landed, and she endured the pain and quickly got up from the ground.

As soon as SML stood up, a flashlight shone right on her chest. Sima Aya glanced back, and the light "passed" through his body and shone on the barbed wire wall behind him, "The work is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter." Those eight big characters were very eye-catching in the light of the flashlight.

It's like being hit through the chest by a beam of white light.

After the white light is processed by the invisibility suit, there will be some refraction and distortion, and in the background of the dark night, the lens phenomenon produced by refraction is easier to be observed by others, and it is easy to expose himself, so Sima Aya quickly moved a few steps gently, moved his body outside the flashlight beam, and then squatted down, trying not to make a sound. At this time, she looked up and found that the flashlight was shining from the control room under the "smog tower" 10 meters away. After a while, a staff member approached with a flashlight.

Fortunately, the place where Sima Aya fell just now was a concrete floor, not a mud or grass ground, leaving no traces.

The staff looked around, and the flashlight in his hand swept over Sima Aya many times, and even, his gaze met Sima Aya many times...... "There is no problem outside, it may be a mouse." The staff member said a word on the walkie-talkie, and then walked briskly back to the control room.

Sima Aya looked at the figure and pace of the staff, not like a staff member in the park, but more like a professional bodyguard. She couldn't forget the murderous aura in that man's gaze when she met him just now. (So, he's certainly not a security guard here.) Sima Aya thought, she guessed that she was going to have a fierce battle today.

Sima Aya took two deep breaths and approached the control room of the Haze Tower, and she walked to the window. The curtains of the window were drawn, but she could faintly hear the people inside. Through the tones of different people's voices, Sima Aya judged that there were at least two people in the room.

"The records in this phone are all TM some meal lists, shopping lists, and also, these shopping lists are all men's items bought, basketball shoes, Internet records, and all those ......websites that men like to read," an angry voice said, "Are you sure, this is her mobile phone, I want a woman's mobile phone." ”

"I don't know," another poor voice explained, "I'm not lying, I stole it from her." ”

Sima Aya laughed twice in her heart: That's right, she had already operated it remotely, formatted the stolen mobile phone, and re-overwritten the ROM (hard disk) record, so that the original confidential information could not be reproduced. Now, in the hands of these people, the internal information of this mobile phone has long been unrecognizable, and it must look like it must be a young man's mobile phone.

"Take a good look at the picture again!" An angry voice said, not loud but fierce. "You can't be mistaken."

"Yes, yes, it's indeed her, I promise, I won't be mistaken, it's her." Another voice said.

(Photo?) Woman? She? The more Sima Aya listened, the more interesting she felt - she really didn't guess wrong, this thief was really not an ordinary thief.

"Forget it, let's find another way." After a moment of silence, an angry voice said, his anger decreased a lot, "Maybe she hid the information on her phone, tomorrow we will find a mobile phone repair point to restore the information of the mobile phone and give it a try." ”

(Oh, you want to be beautiful.) Sima Aya thought disdainfully, mobile phone repair points can recover formatted data, but for the data that is overwritten again after formatting, it is necessary to restore it. Thankfully, these people don't seem to have a deep knowledge of electronic devices, so that's great. They'll keep the phone and keep it with them.

Thinking of this, Sima Aya smiled.
