Three days later.

When Lin Xu and the others met again with the detective lady named Anna, they were in a café on the side of the street.

At this time, Miss Anna was still dressed in a slightly revealing dress.

I don't know if she likes this style of dressing, or if she has some special habits, but Lin Xu thinks it's quite pleasing to the eye.

"What did you find? Do you know why the Galactic Alliance and the Machine Empire joined forces? And why are they just around this planet and doing nothing all the time? As soon as Nan Zhu came up, he whispered a series of questions, and the whole person looked around excitedly with the corners of his eyes.

I'm afraid I didn't bring myself into some kind of agent spy movie.

"Please, why did the Galaxy Alliance and the Machine Empire join forces, can I find out this kind of thing as a street detective like me? The royal agents can't do it either! Didn't you just say yes, just investigate what is special about that planet as much as possible? "Miss Anna listened to Nan Candle's question, and the whole person was not good.

I just feel that my employer doesn't want to give money, so I use such an outrageous question to make it difficult for me to retreat?

"Don't listen to her nonsense, she has watched too many movies, you can just tell me the news you investigated, don't worry, it won't be your money." Lin Xu stretched out his hand and pressed the excited Nan Candle back to his seat and said.

"Okay, but I did investigate something weird about that planet." Anna, who only had a bandeau on her upper body, stretched her figure and took out a document from her bag.

"Paper?" Lin Xu was a little strange, he still used paper materials this year.

"This is under the control of the military, and the information in any memory is not secure, and it may be discovered by the military at any time, but it is this kind of paper materials of the old era, and no one will check it." Anna said a little smugly.

Then, Lin Xu saw the words written on the head of the data, Containment Object: Smiling Monkey.

"Containment?"

"That's right, it's the containment object, it's said to be a palm-sized plastic toy, and the toy is a smiling monkey, but anyone who sees this monkey will start laughing from the bottom of their hearts, just smiling at first, and after a few days the smile will become more and more intense, until the laughter is out of breath, and finally laughing to death." Anna explained.

"Laughing to death?" Nan Zhu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this to be the result.

"That's right, it's said that this smiley monkey was brought back from that planet by the agent, and now the agent is dead." Anna added.

"Isn't there a way to keep them from laughing?" Nan Candle was surprised.

"Yes, delete the memory, delete the image of the smiley monkey from their memory, they will stop laughing, and their lives will be saved. However, when this was discovered, it was already a later thing, and the first people who came into contact with the smiley monkey before this time were almost dead. Speaking of this, even Anna felt a little scared.

"Where is this smiley monkey now?" Lin Xu thought for a while and asked.

"I don't know, it's been collected by the military, and it is said that there are many similar items brought out from that planet, all of which have been collected by the military. As is customary on that planet, such items are collectively referred to as containment. Anna explained.

"Why does it feel a little scary?" Nan Zhu said with a shrunken neck.

"Memetic infection, of course it's scary." Lin Xu sighed.

He was now sure that this was definitely something that humans had done again.

After all, Lin Xu is too familiar with the containment object.

In the 21st century, it has been spread all over the Internet.

Although it was all made up by netizens, Lin Xu also followed the trend and watched a lot, and he thought it was very interesting.

Unexpectedly, one day human beings actually made it happen.

Using high-dimensional information interference with low-dimensional information to produce items involving rules and laws, that is, containment objects.

Ten thousand years ago, could humans have reached this level of use of higher dimensions?

Lin Xu was a little surprised.

"That's right, it's a memetic infection, all intelligent beings who have seen the smiling face of the smiling monkey will be infected, and the alliance even deliberately found some races that can't laugh to do experiments, and as a result, people of those races also laughed, even if they themselves don't understand why they laugh." Anna continued.

"See pictures or videos?" Lin Xu asked.

"The same is true." Anna nodded solemnly.

"What? When you see a picture or a video, you laugh? Nan Zhu on the side had never heard of such a thing, and screamed in surprise.

"Yes, even if you see a picture or video, you will laugh and die of laughter. The first people to see the smiling monkey through videos and pictures are now also dying of laughter. Anna added.

"This thing, if someone broadcasts it to the whole universe." Nan Zhu shuddered at the thought of that scene.

"The Alliance doesn't have time to erase the memories of the entire universe." Anna's expression became serious.

At first, Anna just wanted to earn some money for the journey, but now with the things she investigated, she also began to be curious about what was going on that planet.

As a detective, how can you not be curious.

"Are you going to that planet?" Anna asked.

"You guessed it?" Lin Xu looked at her, but he was not surprised.

"Actually, I also found a route that can sneak into that planet without being discovered by the patrol." Anna said in a low voice.

"Can you find out this? How did you find out? Nan Candle looked at Anna in surprise.

Lin Xu was also surprised.

In fact, it was beyond Lin Xu's expectations to find out about the smiling monkey.

This thing is obvious, in the Galaxy Alliance and the Machine Empire, it should also be confidential information, I really don't know how she investigated it.

"I'm a detective, tracking, investigating, camouflaging, lockpicking, hacking skills, all indispensable." Anna perked up.

"Wait a minute, so you're sneaking into someone's house and finding the data from the computer? Will you be short of money if you have this means? Nan Candle's face was incredible.

"I'm a detective, not a thief, I'm very professional." Anna immediately retorted.

"What kind of thief, they all entered the house, and by the way, they took something, how can it be considered stealing? Detective business, can that be called stealing? Nan Zhu thought of an excuse for her.

"Okay, okay, you two stop bickering, tell me what you want, right?" Lin Xu stopped the inconsequential conversation between the two and said directly to Anna.

Investigating intelligence is the content of the job, but the safe route to enter the planet is obviously not the content of the job, so Anna said it at this time, naturally she wanted more benefits.

It just so happened that Lin Xu also wanted to find a way to enter that planet that would not be discovered by the Galaxy Alliance and the Mechanical Empire.

It can be regarded as a demand for both sides.

"What I want is very simple, take me with you when you go to that planet." Anna's eyes sparkled.

"With you? You're going to that planet too? Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to be this request at all.

"That's right, the containment object is such a magical thing, as a detective, how can you not want to see it? Although I don't know why the Galactic Alliance and the Machine Empire suddenly joined forces, I guess most of them have nothing to do with those magical containments on this planet. Anna's hair swayed like a detective radar that had spotted her target.

"Yes, no problem." Lin Xu didn't care about this.

So just like that, there is one more person who is about to go to the target planet.

Then the group was ready to set off.

Although it is not completely clear, why until now, the Galaxy Alliance and the Machine Empire have not carried out a large-scale invasion of that planet and so on.

However, most of the time it is also related to containment.

Lin Xu didn't plan to wait anymore, what he waited for on that planet, it would naturally be clear.

However, before the group could return to the port and officially set off on the Skylark, suddenly there were bursts of sirens outside the window of the café.

A large number of armed robots are flying towards this neighborhood from the sky.

At the same time, the armed robots on the ground also blocked this block, and the long isolation belt pulled up by the robots blocked the entire block of people.

Immediately afterward, more armed robots, some flying in the sky and some running on the ground, poured into the block.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, the port just notified me that I can unload the cargo, and I'm about to go back."

"It's not going to be the Star Alliance and the Machine Empire, it's finally going to fight, right?"

"It doesn't look like it, don't you see the armed robots in action, are there on both sides?"

The people on the street whispered, and Lin Xu and the others stood aside, observing the situation.

"Hey, I said it shouldn't be that you sneaked into someone else's house to steal information, and you were discovered, right?" Nan Candle leaned into Anna's ear and whispered.

"How is it possible, I'm a professional." Anna expressed her indignation at Nan Candle's suspicion of her professional approach.

"What's going on? Could it be to catch a fugitive? Speaking of this, Nan Zhu's voice suddenly paused, because she thought that several of her people seemed to be wanted fugitives.

"No, it's useless to catch fugitives in such a big battle." Anna denied.

Nan Zhu wanted to say, you don't know how big of a thing we did, but in the end, she didn't say it, because she also felt that it shouldn't be a fugitive.

"It can't be, it's about containment, right?" Mu Xiyue, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Containment? I remember. Anna's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"What comes to mind?" Nan Zhu asked.

"I remember that the document mentioned that there was a less dangerous containment that escaped because of carelessness on the part of the guards." Anna replied.

"Less dangerous? It shouldn't be difficult to catch it, they dispatched such a big battle? Nan Candle was puzzled.

"Because of the nature of that containment, that is, it can be disguised as any intelligent life that has ever been seen, so suddenly blocking the block, could it be that you are looking for that containment?" Anna's guess.

"It makes sense, it's just that whether it makes sense or not, we can't be searched." Lin Xu saw that there were already armed robots in the distance, and began to check every person in the block, one by one.

"Are you fugitives?" Anna easily guessed.

Or she had already guessed, after all, from what Lin Xu asked her to investigate, she could know that a few people were at least not people who kept to themselves.

"People always have secrets, like you, can they be subject to such an examination?" Lin Xu asked with a smile.

Anna smiled wryly, apparently she also had secrets that could not be investigated.

"Shall we get out then?" Nan Zhu said eagerly.

"No, we still want to sneak into the target planet quietly, and now we will lose all our efforts if we fight." Lin Xu shook his head and said.

"So what to do?" Nan Zhu hesitated.

"It's very simple, find the containment object before arming the robot, so that they can catch the containment object and naturally not be in the blockade of the block." Lin Xu said lightly.

"Great idea, but how do we find it?" Nan Zhu looked around, and only felt that it was as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack to accurately find a containment object disguised as an intelligent life from this entire block, who did not know hundreds of thousands of people.

"Do you know anything else? For example, is there any flaw in the containment? Lin Xu looked at Anna.

Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, what do you say, don't hide it.

"Flaw, it is said that although he can disguise himself as any intelligent life, and even read the memory of the disguised, he imitates exactly the same, but in essence it is composed of an unknown substance, and there have been researchers who extracted some tissues on his body when he disguised himself as an intelligent life, which is not a normal cell, it is still that unidentified substance." Anna thought for a moment and replied.

"That's going to do it." Nan Candle's eyes lit up.

"Easy to do? Where's the easy thing to do? Anna didn't understand.

For example, those armed robots can extract a little body tissue for testing when they examine each person.

But if you want to find the containment in advance, you can't get the body tissue of everyone in the block in advance.

It's just that Anna didn't know that after learning the information that Anna said, Lin Xu's personal space had been quietly opened, and a large number of nanobots were released outward.

In order to prevent being discovered here again, Lin Xu didn't have a habit of it, and when he arrived here, he began to release nanobots and construct a suitable casting area.

I didn't expect it to be released in the end.

Soon, the sprawling nanobots were already spreading over large areas of the block, and although they were not dense, they were guaranteed to be found in every area.

Then Lin Xu's consciousness connected to the nanobot, controlled the nanobot, and dived into the body tissue of every intelligent life in the block.

At the atomic level of nanobots, no one is aware that there are atomic-sized objects that are penetrating deep into their bodies.

In just the blink of an eye, Lin Xu had already instantly screened the body structures of hundreds of thousands of intelligent beings in the entire block.

All intelligent life is made of flesh and blood, even if some believe in the mechanical empire of mechanical ascension, and most of the body is transformed into machinery, but it is also made of machinery.

There is only one individual, an exceptional case, whose body is made of some unknown substance.

That kind of substance, carrying some kind of high-dimensional pheromone, that kind of high-dimensional pheromone distorts the substance of the low-dimensional world, constitutes this substance.

If it weren't for the fact that nanobots are human creations and have high-dimensional special systems, even atomic-level nanobots probably wouldn't be able to enter that inexplicable mass of matter.

In short, Lin Xu quickly found the target containment.

And at this time, the investigation of the armed robots is about to come to them.

"How? Do you have a solution? Seeing the armed robot getting closer and closer, Anna became a little anxious.

"Peace of mind, no problem." Nan Candle even began to comfort her.

"Found it, let's go." Lin Xu opened his mouth and said.

"Found it? What was found? Anna looked puzzled.

"Of course I've found the containment, let's go." Nan Zhu said, pulling Anna to follow Lin Xu quietly.

"How did you find it?" Anna was puzzled.

This time, Nan Zhu did not answer.

A few people quietly disappeared into the crowd on the street.

Because they walked slowly, they didn't attract the attention of the armed robots on alert in the sky.

Armed robots don't prohibit people from moving, as long as they don't run, or want to escape from the security zone, it's okay to move around the area.

After all, the inspection of hundreds of thousands of people cannot be completed in a moment and a half, and it is unrealistic to let everyone move for such a long time.

It was with the help of such convenience that Lin Xu and the others soon came to a shop not far away that sold model battleships.

Then from the hands of the clerk, I bought a model battleship that could fly.

"Lord Lin Xu, are we going to debunk it personally?" Nan Zhu didn't understand Lin Xu's intentions.

"No, that's why I need this." Lin Xu took out the model battleship that had thrown away the packaging in his hand, and several people left the store.

The next moment, the model aircraft in Lin Xu's hand suddenly crashed into the sky as if it was out of control.

"Alarm, alarm, detection of high-speed moving objects." The armed robots in the sky reacted immediately.

With a volley, the battleship model was directly blown up with a bang.

At the same time as the model battleship exploded, Lin Xu controlled the nanobot, controlled one of the fragments, and flew directly to a young man who seemed to be watching the excitement not far away.

With a pop, the spinning shards cut off their arms.

With a click, the young man's arm fell to the ground, and no blood flowed out.

Only a dark mass of unnamed material on the wound.

"This is, what is this?" The people next to him, who originally thought that the young man was very unlucky, immediately noticed the abnormality on the young man's wound.

Immediately, the crowd was in chaos.

The young man's face changed several times, and he was about to rush out while covering his wounds.

It's a pity that the changes here have alarmed the armed robots.

There was no suspense in the end, and the containment object, which had no combat ability other than the change, was quickly captured by the armed robot, and even his arm that had fallen to the ground was taken away.

Then, the entire blockaded block was uncordoned, and the armed robots patrolling were withdrawn.

Everything was restored to its original state, except for some onlookers who saw everything with their own eyes, who were warned not to talk nonsense.

"How did you find him? And how did you use to make the exploding model aircraft just hurt him? "Anna still can't understand it.

Lin Xu just smiled.

"Alright, let's go, do you want to come along? That planet, I'm afraid, won't be so safe. ”

"Come, of course, as a detective, how can you be afraid of danger." Anna shook her hair, followed Lin Xu and the others without care, and walked towards the port.

Soon, the group came to the harbor and boarded the Skylark.

The Skylark then took off, but instead of going out of the galaxy like most of the departing fleet, it flew into the galaxy.

However, there are also many transport ships that have to transport supplies to the system, so the Skylark is not too obtrusive.

"It's up to you next, what you say won't be discovered, and you can sneak in." Lin Xu looked at Anna Dao.

"No problem, just let me command next, in fact, this route also exists because of the containment, otherwise who has the ability to engage in any safe route under the noses of the Star Alliance and the Mechanical Empire." At this point, Anna stopped keeping it a secret and said directly.

"Is it the capacity of the containment object again?" Lin Xu nodded.

"Yes, or it is precisely because of this containment object that the Star Alliance and the Machine Empire have not occupied that planet on a large scale until now." Anna nodded.

"How did you know this information? It's not like you can get information by just priing open a staff officer's home. Lin Xu frowned.

"It's simple, because what I'm priing open happens to be the home of a big man." Anna said with a shrug.

"Well, you don't want to say it, forget it, everyone has secrets, don't they?" Lin Xu said with a smile.

"Thank you for your understanding." Anna laughed too.

"But what exactly are the containments you are talking about that prevented the large-scale invasion of the Galactic Alliance and the Machine Empire?" Lin Xu asked the question he was most concerned about.

"I don't know what it is, or no one knows. It's just because of the existence of that thing that the cosmic space near that planet has become an inaccessible area for the warships of the Star Alliance and the Machine Empire. Anna explained.

"Inaccessible areas? Aren't all the ships inaccessible? Lin Xu asked.

"Yes, there's only one route that allows small ships to enter, and that's what I'm talking about now." Anna explained.

"So if we hadn't met you, we wouldn't have been able to get here, would we?" Lin Xu looked at Anna thoughtfully.

"I want a fair deal, not a threat that you have to take me, in the vast universe, threatening unknown existences at will, but looking for death, I don't want to be turned into a corpse by you halfway." Anna said with an eyebrow raised.

Lin Xu nodded noncommittally.

He did feel that there was a high-dimensional information disturbance near that planet, but he didn't know the effect.

I didn't expect it to be used to stop the spaceship from approaching.

However, even if he does not know the effect, it is impossible to stop him from this level of high-dimensional information disturbance.

Of course, there is no need to say such a thing.
