Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1189 The Rubik's Cube Device that Reverses Time and Space
After helping Kimberly meta, who was choked by noodles, to recover, Lin Lan told the ship girls in the restaurant about the strange dream he had last night.

When they heard him say that he dreamed of the original world, the Northern Alliance and Donghuang ship girls were not too surprised.

They had long known from communications with fellow White Eagles that the commander sometimes returned to the original world in his dreams.

What really surprised them was that the chip that the commander dreamt of actually became real.

This dark blue chip was repeatedly confirmed by the good man Richard, and was carefully observed by Kimberly meta and Mercury Memorial meta in their hands, and finally handed over to the ship girls to check in turn.

"There is no way it can be wrong. This is definitely the original key chip that you designed before, Commander."

Instead of marveling at the exquisitely crafted Mercury Memorial Meta, Kimberly Meta finally said to Lin Lan with certainty:
"And speaking of observers... Commander, I don't think what you had last night was a memory dream at all."

"Not a dream?"

After hearing Kimberly meta's speech, Lin Lan looked thoughtful.

The ship girls around him all looked at the gray-haired meta girl in surprise.

Although the Sirens are no longer their enemies, they still find this bizarre and mysterious method terrifying.

"Yes, Commander, your consciousness was pulled to the time point in the past in the original world by the observer using Laplace's demon.

"The Laplace Demon has been missing since the ominous celestial phenomenon descended on Summers Island, but both Enterprise Meta and Helena Meta have always believed that the device was eventually recovered by Antix."

Kimberly meta speculated and said this, and Fushun immediately exclaimed:
"Reversing time? So exaggerated?! Doesn't this mean that the Siren can go back to the past at any time to modify what has already happened?!"

"It's not as exaggerated as you think. The world and time swallowed by X's destruction cannot be changed."

Mercury Memorial Meta smiled and said on behalf of Kimberly Meta:

"I have learned from Dibel that this device called 'Laplace's Demon' is undoubtedly in the hands of Host Antix, and its effects are far more than that.

"Have you forgotten the technique Antix used to bring everyone in the port area and the entire surrounding area to this other world without them noticing? That is actually the function of Laplace's demon."

The female old ghost's remarks evoked Lin Lan's memories of his time in Orlan.

When he and the Enterprise were confronting the builders of the virtual world Utopia, the little loli from the experimental agency did reveal the world folding technology to them.

It seems that Anticus's world folding technology is an extension of Laplace's demon.

And if he remembered correctly, in the game plot, the natural calculation system of the experimental agency also relied on Laplace's demon to operate.

In other words, Laplace's demon is actually a multifunctional Rubik's Cube device linked to time and space.

No wonder he couldn't use the reality lens when he was in the original world last night.

That was not a dream at all, and it couldn't even be called a virtual world.

The observer and the builder established a connection with his consciousness using Laplace's demon, bringing his consciousness across the long river of time and back to the true original world.

While he was thinking, Kimberly Meta also held up her chin, looked at him puzzledly and said:
“It’s just a little bit weird.

"In order for Laplace's demon to establish a connection with the commander's consciousness, it must record various aspects of the commander's body data. If there is any mistake, the connection will not be successful.

"The main plane signal network of this world was destroyed by the Omen. How did the observers obtain the relevant data accurately?" Hearing Kimberly meta's words, Lin Lan slapped his head.

"Hiss, now that you mention it, could it be that she recorded my data when I was kidnapped by the Observer before?"

When he was in the Orlansi continent, he was kidnapped by the Observer and taken to an underwater base!
And when he was awakened from his dream by Shinano, his whole body was immersed in the petri dish!

No wonder he never dreamed of the original world when he was in the Oransi continent with the iron-blooded ship girls.

It must be that during the time when he was captured and taken to the base, the cunning little loli from the experimental agency established a connection between his consciousness and the Laplace demon!
Lin Lan told the ship girls around him about his experience in detail.

After hearing that he had been captured by an observer, Kimberly Meta said firmly:
"That's not surprising, Commander. You must have been input into Laplace's Demon by the observer at that time.

"Laplace's Demon has a computing power that is no less powerful than Zero. As long as data is entered into it once, Laplace's Demon can connect to your consciousness at any time."

After Kimberly Meta finished speaking, Ying Rui pondered and said softly:

"So it seems that the Observer is using Laplace's Demon to determine the Commander's location in order to deliver this chip to the Commander?"

"I think so."

Hearing Ying Rui's question, Kimberly meta nodded and looked at Lin Lan:

“The situation on the main plane of this world is too unstable right now. The Observer is likely trying to use this key chip to activate the Executor’s mind module to protect the Commander.

"The Executor Sequence was designed by the Commander himself, and only the Commander's DNA and key can be used together to activate the Executor Mind Module. Even Zero cannot modify the underlying protocol."

Lin Lan felt that Kimberly Meta's conjecture made some sense.

He just remembered that when the bad omen came, the Observer seemed to have entered the turbulence of time and space with him, and he didn't know whether the Observer was in Natlan now.

While he was thinking, Ding'an went to the kitchen and brought breakfast to the table for him.

"Commander, let's have breakfast first. Miss D and the others will be here soon."

Ding'an saw that Lin Lan was hesitant to speak, so he smiled and suggested.

Lin Lan smiled at the gentle shipgirl of the Donghuang transport ship and nodded in response:

"Thank you. Indeed, if you don't eat breakfast now, it will get cold."

So while having breakfast with Harbin and waiting for Miss D and the Explorers to come back, he gave the chip to Kimberly meta for temporary safekeeping.

If this chip can really activate the mental modules of all executor sequences, then his Donghuang camp will no longer have to worry about insufficient naval forces.

Even if there really is a Category V threat that controls the Nightmare Fleet to attack Natlan, he and the Donghuang ship girls will be able to have a large fleet with Executors as the main force.

While enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of chatting and eating breakfast with the Donghuang and Beilian ship girls, after a while, hurried footsteps were heard from the corridor outside the restaurant door.

"Assistant! Has your consciousness been connected to Laplace's demon? Is this true?!"

Before Miss D even entered the restaurant, her signature anxious voice came from outside the door.
