Li Ji quickly asked, "What is the Lord of Red Dwarfs?"

The alien Liki replied, "We don't know what the Lord of Red Dwarfs really is. But we do know that such a being exists; it is a being that feeds on entropy."

Li Ji's mind was a bit of a mess: "Entropy represents the degree of disorder in a system, it's almost an abstract concept, how can you treat a concept like food?"

“I said, don’t use traditional understanding to comprehend these beings; their way of existence is completely different from our conventional thinking. But we have indeed observed evidence of the existence of the Lord of Red Dwarfs.”

The alien Li Ji continued, "In your Earthly theory, according to the second law of thermodynamics, as an 'isolated' system, the entropy of the universe will increase over time, moving from order to disorder. When the entropy of the universe reaches its maximum value, all other usable energy in the universe will have been converted into heat energy, and the temperature of all matter will reach thermal equilibrium. This state is called heat death. In such a universe, there will be no energy left to sustain motion or life."

"But that's not the case; the entropy of the universe is constant."

"Normally, things tend to develop in the direction of increasing entropy. For example, hot water will cool down, and a room will become increasingly messy if it is not cleaned."

“Biobial life has overcome entropy increase through its own initiative, but only locally. At least according to the technological capabilities within the Interstellar Alliance, it can maintain entropy increase close to zero across all its territories. But for the vast universe, this is not enough.”

"Based on our understanding of conventional life forms, the order created by the limited number of intelligent life forms in the universe cannot balance the overall trend of disorder in the universe. This means that there are still many organisms maintaining entropy balance. In other words, these organisms are creating order."

"Research shows that the entropy increase from all non-living activities in the universe and the negative entropy generated by the gravitational binding of celestial bodies can remain in equilibrium. This may sound incredible to Earthlings, but the Alliance's current research confirms it."

"The real source of uncertainty in the universe's entropy balance is intelligent life, namely, humanity. Humans can create order, but they will also accelerate the expansion of chaos."

"The founder of the Red Dwarf Saints once discovered a peculiar phenomenon during an observation of a primitive civilization. This civilization had a massive population of over 50 billion, all gathered on a planet the size of Australia. A random magnitude 10 earthquake nearly destroyed the entire continental plate, causing unprecedented chaos to ensue."

"The entropy caused by this chaos was extremely high. But the observers at the time did not pay attention to it."

"After the destruction of this primitive civilization, several nearby primitive planets soon broke out into large-scale chaos without warning, all of which fell into an extremely brutal global war. In the end, the population of each civilization was reduced to 5% of its original size."

Lee blurted out, "Isn't this just Red Dwarf Saint Syndrome?"

"That's right. The observers connected these strange events and conducted the experiment again. After many trials, they found that within a limited range, once the entropy increase exceeds a threshold in the short term, this phenomenon will occur. We call this threshold the 'descendance value'."

"Based on this phenomenon, the founders deduced the survival mode of the Red Dwarf Lord."

"When the short-term entropy increase in a certain region exceeds the 'descendance value,' the Lord of the Red Dwarf, as the cleaner of the universe's entropy increase, will descend upon this planet, devouring the entropy, and the chaos will end at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, the Lord of the Red Dwarf will release a signal that we cannot yet detect to the surrounding planets, affecting life forms on other planets and promoting the planet to reach the 'descendance value' as soon as possible, thereby rapidly reducing the huge entropy increase caused by human activities."

"But actual experiments have shown that the spread of the chaos is limited by distance, but I don't know the specific distance data."

"It's like a perfect ecosystem that ensures the entropy balance of the universe." "The members of the Red Dwarf Saints found that overthrowing the technologically advanced and legally ruthless Interstellar Alliance was almost impossible, so they decided to try another approach."

"By creating massive global unrest on the lawless primordial planets, disrupting the existing high order, we will summon the Lord of the Red Dwarf Star, spread this wave of chaos to neighboring Allied planets, and complete the plan to destroy the world by continuously detonating primordial planets."

"Creating chaos on a primitive planet can easily confuse agents, and once a highly ordered society collapses, the resulting entropy increase will be extremely high, which could very well meet the threshold for descent."

After hearing this, Li Ji simply found it unbelievable; it was a method he had never considered before.

The idea that there exist life forms in the universe that we can understand, even feeding on entropy increases, sounds absurd no matter how you look at it.

He returned to the monitoring room, where Shu Sanwan and the other agents were also completely bewildered.

"Li Ji, do you believe his bizarre explanation? It's too strange."

"Putting aside the fantastical theories of the Red Dwarf Saints, the principles behind the Red Dwarf Saints Syndrome are acceptable, and they are indeed using these principles to carry out terrorist acts. We'll just focus on investigating the cases; leave the strange creatures and such to the scientists."

The intelligence agency conducted another memory scan on the alien Lee Ki, who honestly opened up the sealed memory, which was completely consistent with what he said.

It also included his contact information with his superior and a complete set of coded messages.

However, news of the alien Lee's arrest had already leaked, and his superiors were on alert, making it impossible to contact him.

Shu Sanwan scratched his head, unable to come up with a solution, and asked Li Ji again what he thought.

Li Ji analyzed, "The soul-swapping experiment is an experiment mastered by the Red Dwarf Saints, and it's definitely not the first time they've done it. They have a way of discovering a quantum correspondence between the souls of a certain Alliance citizen and a primitive human, so they will make arrangements in advance, assigning this citizen to a corresponding primitive civilization profession. Citizens who are already under immense pressure will likely turn to the dark side if they fall into a worthless profession, and then they will come knocking on their door and recruit them as members. Through the soul swap, they can frame the primitive human for the member's crimes on the primitive planet, and the member can then perfectly withdraw. This should be their process."

“Based on this process, we can search for people who have been abnormally transferred to the field of primitive civilization research across the entire alliance in recent years, and by following them, we may have the opportunity to lure their superiors out.”

Shu Sanwan sighed: "The whole alliance? That's a huge undertaking."

The intelligence agency quickly launched an operation to investigate unusual movements throughout the alliance.

After three days and three nights of investigation, even the AI ​​broke down.

"Too many people have been transferred to these worthless majors!" (End of Chapter)
