Indeed, this was the case. In the forty-eight cycles of the Transmigrator Alliance's invasion of this world, the first few cycles failed not only due to the miraculous actions of some transmigrators, but also because of accidents caused by "casualness," "carelessness," or "unintentional mistakes," which led to Haruhi Suzumiya's unfortunate encounters.
Although the original inhabitants of the organization did not retain any memories of these events, the remaining impressions were enough to keep them sufficiently vigilant after confirming the danger posed by Lin Yi, this "otherworldly person."
A ruthless being from another world with unclear motives and immense power.
While the indigenous people were searching for ways to restrain Lin Yi for breaking the rules of the game, Lin Yi had completely colluded with the future people organization.
As more and more "scientific martial arts" are recorded in the information database and transmitted to the future, Lin Yi also obtains more and more detailed information from Mikuru Asahina. Lin Yi has come into contact with a lot of classified information, including spacetime transmission, TPDD, and even heteromorphic isomorphisms.
Heteromorphic isomorphism.
The term itself doesn't seem particularly significant in technical terms, but it plays a unique role in the context of complex timelines, its greatest significance being the ability to distinguish "the same person" across different timelines.
Therefore, Mikuru Asahina made a hypothesis based on herself.
"Just like me living in this era and me living in the future era, although we are both named 'Asahina Mikuru', there are still differences. Our ages, memories, knowledge and experiences are different, so we are not the same person. But on the other hand, our DNA, origins and past are the same, so we are the same person. The 'same self' that is used to distinguish this kind of 'same self' under the same but different imagination is called heteromorphic isomorphism... It can refer not only to people, but also to a thing."
This is easy to understand. It's like a stone from one day and a stone from the next. Although they are both stones, there is a 24-hour difference in the periodicity of carbon.
Based on this theory, Lin Yi's plan for "time travel" has entered its final stage.
"Speaking of which, you seem to have become much more cheerful lately?"
Looking at Asahina Mikuru, who was excitedly explaining these technical terms to him, Lin Yi asked casually, "What happened?"
"Eh?"
Perhaps puzzled by Lin Yi's sudden change of topic, Mikuru Asahina subconsciously made a sound of confusion, and then quickly replied after realizing what she had said, "No, I was just a little scared just now... After all, it was contact with a legendary person from another world. As long as you can understand, you will relax."
"Moreover, Mr. Yu Tai Shinichi is a good person, isn't he? He has told us so many real and effective scientific and martial arts training methods, enabling us to move towards a more future version of ourselves."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Lin Yi suddenly made a request: "Could I contact your superior?"
Mikuru Asahina paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled easily: "If it's not something important, you can just tell me."
"Your privileges have been upgraded?"
Nodding vigorously, the man from the future revealed undisguised excitement: "Mr. Yutai Shinichi's information is more important than I imagined. To avoid wasting time on repetitive steps, my superiors have upgraded my access. Unless it's a 'prohibited matter,' I can now handle other things."
"congratulations."
Congratulating her in a flawless tone, Lin Yi offered Asahina Mikuru a suggestion before leaving: "Perhaps you could try practicing 'Magnetic Field Rotation,' a martial art that's very suitable for you."

With the transmigrators largely evacuating this world and the remaining ones taking advantage of the chaos, external interference is almost negligible.
The internal interference also stabilized with the death of "Ryoko Asakura". The organization, which could not be sure of Lin Yi's attitude, was unwilling to provoke this otherworldly person with the ability of "nuclear peace". Since the other humanoid communication device of the Information Integration Thought Entity on Earth had not expressed any opinion on the time of "Ryoko Asakura", they were even less willing to provoke it.
Since Lin Yi only interacted with people from the future and did not engage in any further violations, the mechanisms gradually stopped reacting so violently over time.
All signs indicate that, from beginning to end, the otherworldly beings' only target was the future person, namely Mikuru Asahina.
Lin Yi was indeed doing that, and he worked on it for a full three months.
From initial wariness and even hostility, to limited contact, to frequent information exchanges, and now to a situation where there are almost no secrets between the two sides except for "prohibited matters".
If Lin Yi truly represents "people from another world," then Earth's "third kind of contact" should be considered a friendly example of cosmic peace.
As Lin Yi consciously guided the future people to establish a complete science and martial arts system, more and more future people who successfully cultivated (even if they only had a little bit of insignificant ability) expressed their goodwill and trust in Lin Yi. Under these circumstances, Lin Yi requested that they conduct a time travel experiment.
"Mr. Yutai?"
Three months of getting along have brought Lin Yi, the "representative of the otherworldly beings," and Asahina Mikuru, the "representative of the future beings," to a very close relationship. In some ways, it might even be closer than the relationship between Lin Yi and the members of her SOS Brigade. After all, with the establishment of the science and technology system, the future beings organization, which can only send one time envoy to this era, has to make Asahina Mikuru spend more time and energy on Lin Yi.
This is easy to understand. After all, compared to the still unsolvable phenomenon, being able to obtain Haruhi Suzumiya, who knows nothing, is definitely a better choice than having an otherworldly person who can bring huge benefits to her. Over time, Mikuru Asahina's focus in her actions will naturally shift to this side, and the monitoring time of the SOS Brigade will have to be reduced accordingly.
Contemplating these slowly changing "accidental events," Lin Yi smiled at the puzzled Asahina Mikuru: "Aren't you curious about the future of humanity after acquiring advanced technology?"
Information Integration Thoughts: Chapter 672 The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (14)
Mikuru Asahina was naturally curious. After all, as the "liaison" for the past three months, she was well aware of the power of every scientific and martial arts training system that Lin Yi had given to the future human organization. Having obtained these powers capable of overturning common sense about the future, where had humanity of the future gone? Where had she, having cultivated "Magnetic Field Rotation," gone? And even…
Shaking her head, Mikuru Asahina dismissed those unrealistic fantasies from her mind.
Although she was very curious, she kept her duties as a time envoy firmly in mind.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yutai, allowing people from other timelines to time travel is prohibited. Moreover, because of Haruhi Suzumiya, it's impossible for anyone other than me to practice time travel in this era. So, I'm sorry, I..."
"Of course, I understand all of that."
Interrupting Mikuru Asahina's apologetic words, Lin Yi stated that what she needed was not what she meant: "I just want you, who are already in the future, to travel to an even more future era."
He spread his hands: "I just want to confirm how the science and weapon system will spread in this world in the future. After all, to a certain extent, I am also its founder in this era. I want to confirm how it will develop in the future and to what extent it will develop... This request should not be too much, right?"
Mikuru Asahina hesitated.
If it were three months ago, she would have refused the same question from Lin Yi without hesitation. However, now that she has gained a certain degree of authority over the future organization and her relationship with Lin Yi has improved significantly, she can no longer easily refuse such a "reasonable" request.
On one hand, as a friend, Mikuru Asahina did not want to see "Mr. Yutai" look disappointed, after all, he had helped her so much before, and now it was her turn to help him;
Furthermore, this is indeed not an excessive matter. After all, it's not like having "Yutai Shinichi" travel through time, which would cause time distortion and is absolutely forbidden. It's simply allowing people who are already in the future to move further into the future to see what humanity was like in that era. There won't be any events that cause time distortion during this process—haven't you seen that so far no one from the future has appeared to stop them? This already proves that the path chosen by the current future human organization is correct.
Moreover, the Future People Organization has done things like moving towards the future before, but they rarely do it because they are worried about causing time distortion. There shouldn't be any problem making an exception this time, right?
With that thought in mind, Mikuru Asahina had already made a decision in her heart.
"I understand."
Facing the "Yutai Shinichi" before her, Asahina Mikuru made a promise: "I will definitely tell you about the future of humanity."
The following day, Mikuru Asahina disappeared.
------------segmentation--------------
At the agreed meeting point, Lin Yi stood thoughtfully facing the empty seats in front of him.
The person you were supposed to meet didn't show up, but someone else did.
He was a boy with a kind smile, and it wasn't hard to guess his identity from his North High School uniform.
Of course, most of the information came from within the Transmigrator Alliance.
Ancient Spring Tree
Note: Main characters in the *Haruhi Suzumiya* series
Sex: Male
Identity: Superpowered individual (affiliated with the "organization")
School: Beigao County High School
Class: Grade 1, Class 9
Wife II III Lin Si 9 Equipment III (IV) Affiliation: SOS Brigade
Position: Deputy Regiment Commander
After sitting down opposite Lin Yi without any ceremony, the vice-captain of the SOS Brigade's first words were full of gunpowder: "Bring Asahina-senpai back."
Tilting his head, Lin Yi admitted that he couldn't quite understand the native's words: "Come back?"
“I know what you’ve been doing these past three months.”
Koizumi Kazuki reiterated in a cold tone completely at odds with the peaceful smile on his face: "Whatever your intentions, you must bring her back immediately."
Faced with the overreaction of this member of the "organization," Lin Yi suddenly asked, "Is it Haruhi Suzumiya?"
"..."
After a brief silence, Koizumi Itsuki, having lost the initiative, had no choice but to speak under Lin Yi's gaze: "Asahina-senpai's behavior has been somewhat unusual lately, and Suzumiya Haruhi has become suspicious. Today, she skipped class without saying a word. This morning, Suzumiya Haruhi decided to take the SOS Brigade to Asahina's house to visit her. If she discovers anything, something unexpected will definitely happen."
"So, for our sake and for the sake of you otherworldly beings, let Asahina-senpai come back immediately."
Without waiting for Lin Yi's reply, Koizumi Ichiki stood up with a fake smile on his face. Before leaving, he gave Lin Yi a friendly greeting, showing no trace of his previous aggressive attitude.
Of course, Lin Yi didn't care what this superpowered person was thinking; what he was more curious about now was Asahina Mikuru's whereabouts.
As Lin Yi expected, the Future Human Organization should also be curious about the "future" with the emergence of scientific weapons. After all, through their repeated verification, the power of the scientific weapons system itself is beyond doubt. In every aspect, it is a shortcut and means to promote human evolution. And what kind of future will they lead after obtaining these shortcuts in advance? I believe that anyone would be curious about this.
At this point, Lin Yi's suggestion that they, rather than himself, should "travel through time" would be highly likely to be accepted: using the power of the group to satisfy the needs of one person is called "abuse of power for personal gain," but using the power of the group to satisfy the needs of a group of people is "the general trend."
Under the "general trend," the Future Man Organization accepted the request without any pressure. The only deviation was the execution of "time travel"—the person who traveled from the future where "the science and weapon system has been acquired" to the future where "the science and weapon system has been highly developed." The person who traveled to the future was not randomly selected from the Future Man Organization, but Asahina Mikuru, the future person who conveyed Lin Yi's request.
Perhaps thinking she was just going to check on things and would be right back, Mikuru Asahina didn't even ask for leave from school before leaving, which is why she's now unable to handle this unexpected situation.
However, these are things that "organizations" and "integrated information systems" need to worry about.
Thinking of the magnetic field that had been forcibly pushed to 100,000 horsepower on Mikuru Asahina's body with his help, Lin Yi smiled.
"I believe this will be a pleasant surprise."
Whether for the future or for the present.
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 673 Cycle Line: The Science and Martial Arts Demon King (Part 1)
In the end, Mikuru Asahina was still unable to return before evening.
However, Haruhi Suzumiya did not go berserk, because before she arrived at Mikuru Asahina's rented room, another "Mikuru Asahina" appeared. She used a weak tone and a familiar soft tone to be "played" by Haruhi Suzumiya before finally managing to calm her down.
After Haruhi Suzumiya left, the female psychic who had returned to her original form breathed a sigh of relief.
"We almost gave ourselves away."
The superpowers in this world are based on Haruhi Suzumiya's understanding and impression of "espers". In Haruhi Suzumiya's understanding, the superpower of being able to change appearance and disguise oneself as another person is naturally indispensable.
The "organization" had prepared for similar accidents as early as when they discovered Haruhi Suzumiya's abnormality, and now it seems to have come in handy... Well, it is a huge organization after all, and if it can't even do this much, it has no reason to exist.
The situation did not improve in the following days.
Because of Mikuru Asahina's disappearance, the organization had to keep this esper pretending to be "Mikuru Asahina" in an attempt to get her back through the organization of people from the future, but they couldn't get in touch with her—because only Mikuru Asahina could reach this era, so all communication could only be done through her; it was equally dangerous to get Lin Yi, who might know Mikuru Asahina's whereabouts, to explain: Haruhi Suzumiya's rampage could cause a disaster, but letting that "nuclear-smooth" otherworldly person rampage would definitely be a disaster.
Left with no other choice, the organization could only do its utmost to cover up the fact that Mikuru Asahina had disappeared, until a week after she went missing.
That evening, Lin Yi's phone, which had almost become a decoration in his hand, suddenly rang. After confirming the name "Asahina Mikuru" on the screen, he pressed the answer button.
【…】
"..."
Silence came from the other end, interspersed with faint breathing—not the struggle of a dying person, but the desperate suppression of overwhelming emotions.
Half a minute later, that familiar yet subtly different voice finally came through.
Excuse me, are you Mr. Yutai?
"Yes."
I'm sorry, I thought I'd be back soon, so I didn't say goodbye before I left.
"You should thank the authorities more than I do."
Yes, I will go later.
The implication is that now is not the time to do that kind of thing.
And judging from the tone of Asahina Mikuru on the other end of the phone, that was indeed the meaning. So what is more important for the "future people" now?
The answer appeared the next second.
Mr. Yutai, are you free now?
"No."
Decisive and direct.
It was clear that this straightforward answer had taken Asahina Mikuru by surprise, leaving her momentarily at a loss for how to react.
But a solution was found a few seconds later.
Mr. Yutai, where are you now?
Looking up, in a "world" inaccessible to ordinary people, Lin Yi "saw" invisible magnetic fields sweeping across the sky with aurora-like colors, once, twice, three times... searching for something.
After wrapping himself up tightly, Lin Yi said calmly, "I'm going back."
【Huh? Going back means...?】
"Leave this world and return to my world."
Without waiting for the "time traveler" to respond, he forcefully crushed the phone, which supposedly required two thousand reward points to redeem.
After completing this action, Lin Yi did not take any action as he had said on the phone, but instead silently counted down.
