When Helena touched the harbor, she saw the same female engineer she had replaced - it seemed that she had been rescued later.

The engineer was complaining to his girlfriend: "The chief engineer thinks that I must have been traumatized after the last incident, and has been asking me to see a psychiatrist." But I said it all, I wasn't abused at all, I wasn't traumatized, I don't even remember how I got into the container. ”

Girlfriend: "Maybe you went in and checked the contents of the container and slipped and hit your head." I heard that your licking dog also went to check the surveillance in Minato and didn't see any suspicious people at all. ”

Engineer: "What else did that guy say about me getting off work that day, and I don't have any memory of it at all!" ”

Helena thought to herself, of course, because it was me who was leaving work that day.

She passed by the Engineer and was completely undetected.

Helena has completely mastered this ability, and she estimates that this ability actually affects the cognition of the person who sees it, and can modify the cognition into something else.

For example, as long as she wants, she can be a fire extinguisher in the eyes of everyone.

Even if someone checks the surveillance afterwards, they will think she is a fire extinguisher.

Helena tried to use her superpowers to trick Peppa on the ship when she was on the ship, but failed, indicating that the AI could recognize her.

But now that the United Cluster has banned AI, there is no "person" in the entire United Cluster who can identify Helena.

Of course, various facial recognition devices can still recognize Helena, but the person in charge of operating the machine will ignore what is recognized by the face.

If you think about it, this ability is very outrageous, and it is equivalent to a wide-area cognitive modification.

But compared to the abilities of other people on the ship, it is not so outrageous. For example, Lily's ability to sing affects mechanical properties, Helena feels much more outrageous than herself.

At least this ability can be explained scientifically, human cognition can be disturbed, and communication has long used relevant theories to artificially create memes. This ability can actually be regarded as memetic pollution.

But it is impossible to understand that singing changes mechanical properties, this is no longer the category of science, but the category of "approaching science".

Helena thought as she passed through the checkpoint at the port gate, where all the security personnel ignored the "spontaneous" turn of the turnstile.

At the time of the last infiltration, Helena's abilities were still "transformed", but now as her perception of abilities has changed, so have her abilities.

No, it should be said that the ability is rationalized.

Now in her own perspective, she has not changed, but she has disturbed other people's perception of her.

Helena believes that superpowers may have different characteristics depending on the superpower's own background and cognitive structure.

For example, herself, as well as Nia and Nimeow, their superpowers are very "reasonable", because they are intellectuals themselves and have to talk about logic.

Lily's superpowers are unreasonable, because she is a galactic singer and has no intellectual background, and is more emotional overall.

As for Wang Chao, based on Helena's assessment of Wang Chao, Wang Chao should also have received higher education and is an intellectual—although he has no higher education at all in his resume.

In fact, Helena is a little suspicious that Wang Chao is really a time-traveler, and he was highly educated in his "previous life", otherwise it would not be possible to explain how an interstellar bounty hunter who was born in a slum and was educated basically only in the "university of society" could behave very knowledgeable from time to time.

Erudition here refers to a kind of human temperament, and a bounty hunter can certainly become knowledgeable through a human-borne computer, but no matter how many books are stuffed into the bounty hunter's head, it is impossible to show an erudite temperament.

Helena thought as she entered the main public space of the Apollodorus space station.

The public spaces are lit up and decorated for the upcoming celebrations.

Despite the buzz in the room, no one noticed Helena.

Helena's superpowers have become the way they are now, ostensibly weakened, after all, she can no longer literally turn into water and escape from the sewers.

But on the flip side, she has the ability to create wide-area illusions—which fits in with her background as a former fraudster.

Helena stood behind a busy engineer and unblocked her.

Of course, she didn't let the Engineer see her for real, and now the Engineer has the impression that Helena is a "man in a business suit".

She coughed, caught the engineer's attention, and asked, "Where's your foreman?" ”

She didn't use her original voice, and for a prosthetic person, switching the state of her vocal cords to make a different voice doesn't need the help of superpowers.

"You mean Mr. Fleming? He's over there! ”

The engineer immediately pointed to the middle-aged man in the distance.

"Thank you." Helena walked towards the middle-aged man.

Her plan was simple, first to get information from the on-site construction personnel, and then go to the Senate.

If Gaius was planning something, he should be able to spot some clues.

Of course, Helena has a last resort, which is to directly "transform" into Gaius himself and let Gaius's subordinates report the situation.

However, he had already deceived Socrates University and other institutions in disguise as Gaius before, so he didn't know if the enemy would be on guard.

So Helena used this as a last resort.

When she walked up to the middle-aged man, Helena found that he was looking at a picture on the tablet - it was a little girl.

Helena: "Your daughter?" ”

"Yes, the battleship that was destroyed in the previous battle fell to the ground, and my daughter was affected and has died." The middle-aged man raised his head, and tears could be faintly seen in his eyes, "Who are you?" ”

Helena: "I'm the dictator's special inspector to oversee the progress of the project. Need I give you a little time to sort out your emotions? ”

The middle-aged man immediately wiped away his tears: "Uh, hello! Don't bother, I'll report back to you right away. ”

I don't know if Helena's superpowers are working, the middle-aged man didn't suspect Helena's title at all, and he didn't ask for his ID.

Middle-aged man: "The current progress of the project is behind ...... Sorry, but because the AI is all abandoned, I can't tell you how far behind it is. Most of the schedule delays are due to scheduling problems. However, our plan itself leaves a lot of redundancy, so it should be completed in time. ”

Helena: "Is the scheduling problem also because of the ban on AI?" ”

Middle-aged man: "Yes. But I don't think it's wrong to outlaw AI! These damn guys, they should be banned! ”

Helena: "I know. Now send me the project schedule, plan and other documents. ”

"Okay." The middle-aged man decisively used the Starlight Network and sent everything to Helena.

Helena quickly glanced at the deceived information, at least the preparations for the celebration seemed to be fine.

"Please keep up your work, and - condolences and change."

"Thank you."

Bidding farewell to the middle-aged man, Helena headed towards the Senate.

Gaius, let me see what you're up to. She thought.

Don't worry, the Ronin isn't done yet. I guess I'll get tired of playing on the 15th, I'm confident in myself.
