Whether it was a misperception or not, Lin Yi also had a sense of déjà vu.
"A story of someone achieving success through their own efforts?"
Nagato Yuki quietly shook her head.
Sometimes, the standard answer to a question is not the real answer; the correct answer is the one the other person wants to hear.
For some reason, this thought popped into his mind, and Lin Yi hesitated before speaking: "...Ideal."
This time, the alien seemed satisfied and sat back down in its own chair.
Looking out the window at the sky, which had turned completely dark, Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before lying down on the bed: "Goodnight."
----------segmentation----------
The last day.
Heavy, tired, drowsy... all sorts of negative states rushed into Lin Yi's body almost the instant he regained his senses of the outside world, some from the outside and some from within.
As expected, Lin Yi saw that familiar head on his chest. This time, he had no thoughts and just stared at the ceiling with unfocused eyes.
"Hmm... an unfamiliar ceiling."
Something is being forgotten.
Something is happening.
Something is approaching.
……
Lin Yi knew nothing, so he smiled at the girl pressing against his chest and said, "Good morning."
"In two hours, thirty-three minutes, and sixteen seconds, Kyon will make his first official contact with the 'otherworldly humans' faction that you represent. By integrating your thoughts and experiences, we will ensure that your position in this world is not threatened. Please make the right choice based on your own judgment."
Lin Yi's mind, so obscure it was almost shut down, couldn't clearly understand the sentence. He ignored the name "Kyū," which didn't sound like his real name at all, ignored why an ordinary person would be among the superpowered, time travelers, aliens, and "gods," ignored what an ordinary person would need to communicate with him, and what could promote the self-disciplined evolution of the unified thought body, and so on. He just silently stared at the three books in front of him.
From left to right, they are:
Romeo and Juliet – a story about love.
Jane Eyre – A story about freedom.
Mein Kampf – A story about ideals.
A thousand readers will have a thousand Hamlets. The same story will have different interpretations and themes depending on the person. But in Lin Yi's understanding... or rather, in Nagato Yuki's understanding of Lin Yi, these three stories symbolize these three meanings.
Love, freedom, and ideals.
Watching Romeo and Juliet, Lin Yi could feel the passion of that love, even the burning intensity of being willing to give one's life for it.
Reading Jane Eyre, Lin Yi could feel the yearning for freedom and the unwavering resistance against societal prejudice.
Watching "My Struggle," Lin Yi could feel the dedication to ideals, even when it came to challenging the entire world order, without backing down an inch.
what is this?
This is emotion.
What does it represent?
— Represents humanity.
How do I know?
—Because it is something I once gave up.
Looking up, she saw Nagato Yuki, who had been standing at the door for some time, and the boy called "Kyon".
Unlike the girl I've met over the past few days, at this moment she behaves more like a human than the term "humanoid device for contact with organic life forms."
Her emotions would rise and fall with his; she would be happy because of a single word he said; and she would feel disappointed because of a single action he took.
At this moment, she embraces her ideals, yearns for freedom, and then finds love.
What gave her all of this?
Is it Romeo and Juliet?
Is it Jane Eyre?
Is it "My Struggle"?
Finally, the answer was obtained.
"No... it's resistance."
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 699 Foolish Obsession
In the story of Romeo and Juliet, the protagonists achieve love through rebellion against their families; in the story of Jane Eyre, the protagonists gain freedom through rebellion against the rules; and in Adolf Hitler's autobiography, his success is built upon the destruction of the existing order.
What truly gave them everything was never so-called love, freedom, or ideals, but rebellion.
"So, in the end, this is your real purpose?"
Closing the book, Nagato Yuki quietly gazed at them.
The boy named "Kyū" had already left sometime ago; his existence was merely a safeguard—a safeguard for the "Fragment" to cover up their activities.
In this world, the "Fragment" has set up six layers of defense to conceal its existence.
The first layer consists of people from the future. Anyone who has doubts or concerns about "time travel" will inevitably first determine its authenticity.
The second layer consists of superpowered individuals, and the conflict between the native inhabitants and the foreign invaders has never been resolved.
The third layer is the information integration thought body, an existence that is highly similar to it yet completely separate from it, enough to attract the attention of the pursuer.
The fourth layer is Haruhi Suzumiya; anyone who realizes she possesses the power to easily rewrite similar things will focus their attention on her.
The fifth layer is Kyon—an ordinary person who doesn't even have a real name. The more ordinary a person is, the more conspicuous they become when mixed in with a group of extraordinary people. This kind of reverse thinking is also a tactic.
The sixth layer is the limitation of the "setting". The constantly diminishing power and the cycle are enough to make even the most determined people want to give up. And once they give up, everything will end: just like the Transmigrator Alliance, whose very existence has become a false proof.
Yes, the "setting" of this world is not only about cycles and weakening, but also about a third "setting": one-way channels.
Simply put, it means that you can only enter and not leave. Those who leave will be erased along with their very existence. This is the real reason why the Transcendent Alliance became a false proof of existence after fifty cycles.
The six-layered defense doesn't work in isolation; rather, it operates simultaneously in every cycle. If you try to break through the first layer, the next five layers will retaliate. If you try to overcome the sixth layer, the first five layers will automatically counterattack. Even Lin Yi succumbed to the third layer of defense.
Looking at Nagato Yuki in front of him, Lin Yi was certain that she did not know the truth about the world he lived in.
In her mind, she was merely a human connection device of the "Information Integration Thought Entity," and there were no "fragments" or conspiracy theories involved; everything she did was solely for her own benefit.
However, the "Integrated Thought Entity" revealed Lin Yi's true nature to her: an information entity similar to herself.
In order to make Lin Yi become a "human" like her, she took a series of actions: using information to block Lin Yi's perception of time and space in the outside world, and then gradually implanting the concepts of "love," "freedom," and "ideals" to ultimately achieve a certain result.
"You want me to rebel?"
The question of what is being resisted no longer needs to be asked; there has always been only one entity with control over information.
Yuki Nagato nodded slightly: She had only acted out of "sympathy" and "goodwill".
According to the records of the Transmigrator Alliance, Nagato Yuki is the most human-like individual among the human contact devices created by the Information Integration Thought Entity. In the later stages of the "plot", she has developed the concept of love. In the midst of logical chaos, she even forcibly uses a large amount of information to create a world where Nagato Yuki is no longer a human contact device but just an ordinary person. Her ultimate goal is simply to be able to live with the "male protagonist" as an ordinary person.
Based on the same understanding, she regarded the information body as her former self.
Absolutely devoid of freedom, she can only act according to the will of the "subject," and cannot even possess a trace of her own emotions. In order to change the information body's situation, she uses a portion of the information provided by the "Integrated Thought Body" to deplete most of the information body's defenses (spending half of her existence transmitting information about the misuse of information to the subject), and then intervenes by taking advantage of the information body's weakened defenses, using three books as a medium to implant the concepts of "love," "freedom," and "ideals."
The ultimate goal is to make the information body rebel—from the dominion of the ruler.
"The unified thought body can guarantee your independent existence."
Looking at the information body, Nagato Yuki no longer hid anything: "As long as you decide to rebel, you will be able to obtain all these emotions."
"To become human?"
"To become human."
To become human—what a luxurious dream.
They possess passionate emotions, precious freedom, and endless ideals. This is probably the most perfect concept that "information," which cannot even possess the most basic self, can imagine.
Therefore, Nagato Yuki was attracted to them, Asakura Ryoko's behavior was getting closer to theirs, and even the "Unified Thought Entity" did everything it could to imitate and observe them.
Now that this perfect concept is within reach, and can be realized with just an answer or an action, what is there to hesitate about?
"I--"
A flood of external information, waiting for the answer to appear, pours into this nearly empty "information body," completely transforming it into another concept and form.
Then: "Deny your existence."
The frenzied information conflicted with each other, and the sudden information explosion eliminated a large amount of information from the "Unified Thought Entity" around them, leaving only a fragmented individual and a still intact "human".
Nagato Yuki's expression remained indifferent, but Lin Yi could sense her emotions—yes, she had emotions, because she was not an information entity, but a human being.
"why?"
"As an information entity, you are unqualified. You believe in false freedom, accept the lies of ideals, and embrace the fallacy of emotions. You are human, not information."
Fragile information repeatedly assaulted her existence; every search and verification yielded a negative answer, ultimately leading to a single conclusion.
The "humans" who realized what Lin Yi was doing tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Unlike conventional warfare, the outcome of an information battle is determined solely by the quantity of information available.
What would be the result of using incomplete information to attack "Nagato Yuki," which symbolizes the total amount of information in the world?
Therefore, I deny your existence.
What does it mean to fight a losing battle with an egg?
The information that constitutes this body is instantly shattered by an impact of thousands or even tens of thousands of times its own information. In the instant that the "self" collapses, the final answer is directed to the other side outside the closed system.
As an information entity that is incomplete from the moment it was born, it is not used to facing everything with a completely rational attitude. Therefore, it will show ruthlessness, accept promises, show pity, and also fight against overwhelming odds when there is no other choice.
It sees this as foolish, but sometimes it's called persistence.
P.S.: Fourth update
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 700 Information Integration Thought Entity (1)
My eyes opened, jolted awake by the lingering effects of death.
To this day, Lin Yi still doesn't know what the connection is between the information body and the original body, but he thinks it's definitely not as simple as an external avatar or a clone, since neither the former nor the latter can give a person such a deep memory of death.
That was by no means an observation from a third party, but rather a public announcement that felt like a firsthand experience.
"I've heard that you get used to anything once you experience it enough, but I just can't get used to this."
Feeling the sheer terror transmitted from those memories, Lin Yi didn't try to dismiss it. Instead, he savored every detail more carefully—I died, I lived.
My dead self becomes provisions, and my living self continues to move forward.

World Four (Intelligent Conservation World).
Dyson sphere.
Having received a large amount of resources from another world, coupled with the tireless labor of hundreds of billions of mechanical bodies day and night, the metal surface has covered nearly 90% of the sun's surface. Every second, energy equivalent to detonating 809 billion 100-megaton hydrogen bombs is transmitted along the surface to the surfaces of the three nearest planets.
As a nearly inexhaustible energy source within the solar system, this energy is used in two ways: either to produce countless Infinite Stratos (IS), Gundam, and T-series automatons (T-800, T1000, T2000, etc.), or to be directly transported below the Earth's crust to modify the structure of the three planets.
Although it lacks the most important core, the Death Star Cybertron, which was once born under the power of the "AllSpark," is still a pretty good idea. These three Death Stars, which were respectively transformed from Venus, Mercury, and Earth, are the initial results.
With the war order issued, the machines, operating with high efficiency, began to slowly move from their orbits toward the "channel" through countless thrusters that had spread out on their sides...
At the same moment, inside the "Main God Space (Folded Space)," which had been peaceful for decades.
The white orb hovering in mid-air, symbolizing the absolute control of the "God" over all reincarnators, suddenly turned crimson. Whether they were on a mission or waiting in place, a mechanical voice rang in the minds of every reincarnator.
