Erchuang's short story "The Secret Sealed Middleman"

This article is a derivative work of Dongfang Project, and you must have a certain degree of understanding of the original work to experience the fun.

The characters on the stage are the two near-future college students of the Secret Seal Club, Usami Renko (Lianzi) and Marai Lubeili. Hearn (Merry).

The current time is 4:20:25 pm Tokyo time, and the agreed time has exceeded 20 minutes and 25 seconds. This exact value is guaranteed by my ability, but I still walk to the coffee shop at the meeting point. Be classy and fail plainly, that's how I see Renko Umi!

"Here is the coffee you ordered, please take it slow. 』The waiter served hot coffee, apparently someone did not place the order when he arrived on time out of trust.

"Go ahead, let me see what else you want to talk about." Maya Lubeili. Hearn held his head, took a sip of coffee, and watched the performance of his companion sitting across from him expressionlessly.

"...Sorry Miss Merry, I was wrong, I shouldn't be late." Unlike the previous declaration, Usa saw Renko frankly bowing her head and admitting her mistake.

"And it's as handsome as I said before, what about elegance?" He got sharp complaints, "Can you pay for it today as an apology?" and additional punishment.

"Please also raise your hand high." Lianzi's head was completely attached to the table.

"What about elegance?" In exchange for his friend's second rant. "If the story told today passes the test, I'll help you pay. That's why you asked me out. Let me see the so-called "must be interesting"."

"In order to make the guests pay, I will try my best to tell the story well, please sit down!" Lianzi raised her head, straightened her posture, took a deep breath and began to tell:

I accidentally came into contact with the knowledge of the last century when I checked the data a while ago, which is about data transmission.

Speaking of which, Mei Li's ability to cross the realm is also a kind of transmission, I don't know if it is reliable (laughs)
...Wait, sorry I was wrong, don't hit me.

In order to avoid mistakes in the middle of the technology at that time, some redundant parts will be added to the actual data. It’s like paying a little more money to find a bodyguard. Although you need to pay extra, you can rely on these data to check for errors and correct them within the allowable range. You don’t need to retransmit every error. Considering it is more cost-effective.

Thus, most non-human data loss can be solved.

Yes, and man-made.

In some cases, if the technical protection used in the transmission of data is insufficient, it may be intercepted and tampered by malicious people, and the recipient may not notice it at all.

"What's up, Merry? This is completely unimaginable, right?" Renko's story came to an end, and with a smug smile, she greeted the passing waiter and ordered a cup of coffee.

"Sounds scary," Mellie said, looking calm.

"Don't worry, after all, it's all about the last century. Now science can explain everything. That kind of madness doesn't exist in the century of science!" Lianzi stretched out her arms exaggeratedly and said the lines of being handsome.

"Then, if the data that has been altered is conscious, will he know about his condition?" Meli asked.

"Are you actually asking such a question, Merry, are you animist?" Encountered a problem beyond expectations, Renko began to buy time.

"Hey, lotus," Mei Li gently put down the coffee cup in her hand. "You just said that my realm ability is like a transmission, right?"

"How many times have the Secret Sealed Club's club activities been taking place? Do you think you've never been tampered with to take risks with my realm ability? " Mei Li looked straight into Renko's eyes with a serious expression. Lianzi's expression also became serious.

The staring game between the two continued for a short while.

"...Pfft." Lianzi took the lead and couldn't help laughing.

"What do you think? Fake?" said Mellie.

"If it really happened, isn't it the responsibility of Meli's lack of skills? And the Seal Club exists to explore such interesting possibilities,
Please be responsible to me until the end. ' Renko showed a bright smile and held Merry's hand.

"Really, this reaction seems to be a fake lotus seed. As expected, there is no way to get the lotus seed..." Mei Li's expression softened and she smiled bitterly.

"Here is the coffee you ordered, please take it slow. 』The waiter served a second cup of hot coffee.

"So Miss Merry is still satisfied with today's story? Can I pay for the coffee?"

Fin.
