Fooling Tomoko into being a system

Looking for Li Lin's traces seems simple, but in essence it is a battle with Future Vision.

Thomas Vader must break through the future that Li Lin sees in order to find him before Li Lin locks in. Any extra second means that this is Thomas Vader's victory, and he will never give up the challenge.

Of course, this is easier said than done.

For example, in the process of searching for Li Lin, Thomas Wade had to think with all his strength. He first eliminated all unreliable answers and went to those ambiguous targets. During this period, his brain could not be idle for a moment.

Perhaps Li Lin even noticed that he had the ability to see the future at this time. In his eyes, the time when he found Li Lin's location was accurate to every minute and every second.

However, Thomas Wade had to do those elimination actions that seemed to be a waste of time.

Looking at Ye Wenjie's grave in front of him, Thomas Wade stopped. He had arrived.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Ye Wenjie was the sinner who brought about the Trisolaran civilization. However, Thomas Wade knew that this statement was not accurate.

Because Thomas Vader heard Li Lin talk about a certain point of view, the distance between the two civilizations is too close. Even if there were no Ye Wenjie and Li Wenjie... the Trisolaran civilization would still send an exploration fleet to the solar system!

If it has the ability to navigate interstellar space better than human civilization, its first destination will be the Trisolaran Galaxy. This is an inevitable outcome.

Thomas Wade waited in front of Ye Wenjie's grave for a minute. Looking around, there was nothing but the howling cold wind, but not this.

beep-

The communicator in his arms suddenly made a rapid sound.

Thomas Vader opened the communicator and found that there was only one message inside, "We rush to death!"

Seeing the inexplicable message, Thomas Wade was slightly stunned.

Until he remembered that the communication code came from the starship that was studying the two-way foil, he suddenly remembered the meaning of this sentence. A ship of scientists and captains followed the two-way foil and hit the sun. Counting the time, they were almost scorched.

There was no time to feel sad for them now. Thomas Wade sighed, put the communicator in his arms, and walked down the mountain with reason.

Although Thomas Vader was cold-blooded, Li Lin, who witnessed a shipload of people who dedicated their lives to the truth, would not.

This ship of scientists gained Li Lin's admiration and respect, and was one of the few shining points he found in human civilization.

Of course, the captain of the starship is also on this list. Although he can still choose to live a few more days due to the attack of the dark forest, he chooses to help the scientists, which is also admirable.

Before the starship captain was burned to death, Li Lin took a look at his nameplate, which read John.

Recalling Captain John's thoughts before his death, Li Lin closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his fate began to flow.

At this moment, an idea flashed in Thomas Wade's mind as he was descending the mountain, and he stopped in his tracks.

He recalled the four words given by Li Lin, 'Bring a painting and find me.' Could this be a clue?

This was Li Lin's agreement to bring "Starry Moon Night" to him, which was also a hide-and-seek invitation.

But once Li Lin reminded him that he had not found the right clue, it meant that Li Lin had provided him with some kind of clue that was difficult to detect, otherwise Li Lin would not have said this.

So what's the clue?

Li Lin only said these four words at first, so this should be a clue.

'Painting' must refer to "Starry Moon Night", and 'I' refers to Li Lin.

What about the most critical 'find'?

'Find me'?Where can I find Li Lin?

If the last two words are conditions, then 'with pictures' is the clue.

'Drawing' is the clue!

Thomas Wade suddenly realized that Van Gogh's "Starry Night" was the clue. It turned out that the clue had always been around him. No wonder Li Lin spoke in that tone when he found the wrong target for the first time.

Thomas Wade immediately rushed towards the small spaceship at the foot of the mountain. He put "Starry Night" in the small spacecraft.

After Thomas Wade spent more than ten minutes running down the mountain and returning to the spacecraft, he took out "Starry Night" and observed it carefully, and his mind became active again.

This is just a very ordinary painting, even if it is a world-famous painting, it is still ordinary. There is no secret or treasure hidden in it, let alone any clues.

As soon as he got the painting, Thomas Wade conducted many detailed tests on it to confirm that it was authentic or that there were clues hidden in it.

Since it is determined that the painting itself does not hide any clues, then it is the meaning of the painting that contains clues.

Thomas Wade opened the painting. The upper half is the universe and the planets in the solar system, and the lower half is an ordinary town. Looking at the painting as a whole, it can represent the time after being attacked by the two-dimensional foil, because everything is two-dimensional. .

Now that we have the solar system and the two-way foil, what does the small town in the painting represent?

The perspective of "Starry Moon Night" starts from the small town and sees the solar system being two-dimensionalized. This is the clue Li Lin gave me. This is also the map. He is inviting himself to the small town to watch human civilization and the solar system being two-dimensionalized... ..

Thinking of this, Thomas Wade immediately started the small spacecraft and flew directly to the place where Van Gogh painted "Starry Night", the Saint-Remy Mental Hospital on the outskirts of the small town of Saint-Remy in France!

He knew that Li Lin must be waiting for him.

Yes, there was no place more suitable for the two to meet than the Saint-Rémy Asylum.

Thomas Vader felt uneasy while sitting on the spaceship at the moment. The meaning behind the invitation to meet at Saint-Remy Psychiatric Hospital was not so wonderful.

Li Lin invited himself to witness the two-dimensionalization of human civilization and the solar system, which meant that Li Lin could not give up his plan to two-dimensionalize the solar system.

There is also a problem with the invitation time. There are still 4 days left before the two-dimensional transformation. It only takes 1 day to reach the small town of Saint-Remy in France. What will you do with the extra 3 days?3 days in Saint-Rémy?

Li Lin invited himself to witness the two-dimensionalization of human civilization. The best time should be on the last day, when the two of them could have a heated argument, and then the end would come!

In despair, he looked up and watched the entire solar system become two-dimensional before his eyes, just like the perspective in "Starry Night". This was in line with the sense of ritual that Li Lin liked.

Why could I discover the clues given by Li Lin in advance?This is especially strange for Thomas Vader, it's so easy.

Did I defeat the future vision possessed by Li Lin?

I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case. Although Thomas Wade thinks very highly of himself, he is also very self-aware and knows very well what he can do.

He was able to discover the clues thanks to a flash of inspiration in his mind. On the surface, it looked like he had defeated Li Lin's future vision, but this sudden inspiration made Thomas Wade extra vigilant, especially when he knew that Li Lin could control luck... .

If I didn't know that Li Lin had future vision, I'm afraid he would think like this and be complacent.
