"Life should be a process from ignorance to determining one's own position. The old man stared at Nian Hao and said with a calm expression: "Nian Hao Xiaoyou, first of all, let me introduce myself, I am the head of the accounting company in Europe, you can call me Konstantin." ”

After hearing this name, Nian Hao thought for a while and spit out the smoke ring. Then, shaking his head, he flicked the ash straight to the ground. Leaning back in the chair, his feet lifted up and resting directly on the table, the soles of his shoes pressed against the side of the books on the table.

"It's a long process, and we call it inheritance. But you're missing that step. Konstantin reached out and grabbed the side of the book, and with a little force, he pulled out the book that was pressed against the sole of Nian Hao's shoe. "This book is Poe's book from 1841, a hand-copied version, and it is very valuable. ”

Nian Hao watched Konstantin wipe the corner of the book without saying a word.

"There are many people like you in history. But it's all gone, and it's as if it didn't even happen. Konstantin continued: "If you need evidence, I can't provide it, because the people who appeared have disappeared, and everything associated with it has been changed by history. But you have to be proof, aren't you the best evidence?"

Nian Hao asked Konstantin: "Everything that is related to me now will change sooner or later, and you will also be changed, right?"

Konstantin shook his head: "I don't know. But at least, the situation you are in right now must have a lot to do with it. Moreover, the world is now extremely solid, and a change in one of these factors will trigger an infinite butterfly effect. ”

"That's not a reason. I want to hear the real thing. ”

Konstantin sighed, and said in a very lonely tone: "There is a place in this universe that is the same as this world, and that place is called the Novro Continent. Although the name is the name of a continent, it is actually a world like me. If it were known to some scientists, those scientists would only say that it was a parallel universe. But not real, the universe has never been parallel. and there is no one who beareth together. But the truth is that this is a world, and over there is a world of the same shape. That's just a fact. To describe how that world came into being and how it came to be is simply not comprehensible to our minds. It's as simple as ants don't think of humans. In the universe, our brains are not yet able to comprehend all these processes. We have the idea, just know that there is such a place. ”

Nian Hao spat out the smoke ring again, he looked at the old man named Konstantin, and recalled all the memories that could be shown in his mind, it seemed that none of them could be linked to this so-called Novro continent. But the word 'Novro' has always been in my mind, never disappeared, never appeared, and the two contradictory beings.

"Secondly, we are going to talk about the concepts of time and space. Konstantin continued: "Time and space, these two things, physicists have been studying for the last hundred years. In particular, Einstein is the most thorough, and in the following decades, it was based on Einstein's theory, and many scientists began to explore on this basis. However, what we have is, after all, a mortal brain. Nothing can be thought about can escape the realm of brainpower. ”

Nian Hao nodded. Agreeing with Konstantin's words, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, spat out the sputum, and directly spat out the sparks. Seeing this, Konstantin sighed, he flipped over the table, found two white sheets of paper the size of A4 paper, and held them in both hands, hanging parallel to each other.

"If these two pieces of paper represent our planet and Novro respectively. These two pieces of paper seem to be theoretically parallel and never touched. This theory starts from space. But what about the idea of time?" Konstantin finished speaking, and he repeatedly rubbed one of the white pieces of paper representing the Novro continent into a circle, and then placed the paper ball on the table and flattened it. Finally, this flattened paper ball is placed on a white piece of paper representing the earth. And just like that, the two worlds collided. The earth has always been in a straight line of time, and although the time of the Novro continent has not changed, it is a chaotic circle relative to the earth. The folds, the bends, irregularly touch the straight timeline of the earth. ”

After Konstantin put down what he was holding, he continued: "Let's say 2000. Our timeline is straight, but their timeline is full of twists and turns, and their January and July of 2000 will fall on our March at the same time because of the twists and turns. Probably you should understand this explanation?"

Nian Hao nodded, crossed his hands on his chest, and continued to listen without saying a word.

"It's just that no matter how twisted Novro's timeline is, for them, they still run on a plane, flawlessly. ”

"If two worlds are touched in this way, why is it a one-way street?"

Konstantin shook his head and said, "It's a one-way street, but it's not." There is a certain power in Novro that can open a passage when two worlds touch. But our world can't. So this one-way street, the attitude that exists only in their world. ”

"Passage?" Nian Hao asked with interest.

"Tens of millions of people go missing every year around the world. Most of them are due to causes, but there are still many people who have disappeared, but it is thanks to the Novro continent. Konstantin said.

"Crossing over, these people have traveled through the past?" asked Nian Hao.

"Didn't cross this thing. Konstantin said resolutely: "The missing people on our side went to the Novro continent, but the people from the Novro continent could not come. It's not traversal, it's gravitational theory, the more massive something is, the more it attracts less mass. It's just that these two worlds are measured in terms of strength, and the power of the Novro continent is like that of Jupiter, and the earth is still the earth, and once it is completely touched, the earth will be completely disintegrated. Fortunately, the two worlds are simply a point-to-point contact. ”

In other words, the absolute power possessed by the Novro continent attracts all the things on the earth that come into contact. Therefore, the world cannot perceive such a existence. ”

Konstantin nodded. "The strength of the Novro continent is not something we can explore. The earth is dispensable to him, and he exists like those religious gods on the earth. ”

"I see. Nian Hao's tone was very cold, and he asked, "Then you say, I came from that world, and I am the only one, right?"

"The only one we know. Konstantin replied.

"You guys?" Nian Hao asked, "Accounting Society, it's time to talk about your organization." ”

Konstantin shook his head. "It's not time to talk about it yet. Because of my words, it's not over yet. Please continue to listen to me. A theory is suddenly explained in terms of nouns, and it is incomprehensible to those who have just touched it. Therefore, before the emergence of this theory, the person who informs it is to demonstrate the ways and means of discovering the theory one by one. Regarding our organization, this explanation requires a long foreshadowing. I think you've been waiting for seventeen years, so you should have the patience to wait for what I'm saying now. ”

"Of course!" replied Nian Hao, "You say!"

"From what we know, that world is the same as ours. It's just that there is an unknown force in that world. In our world it is called magic. Isn't there a movie series on our planet? It's called The Lord of the Rings. The continent of Novro is similar to the Middle-earth depicted in the movie. There are all kinds of creatures, and human beings are not alone. But it's also huge. Things go back first and foremost to the fact that these people on our planet suddenly went to the continent of Novro. What will happen to us earthlings when we go to Novro? First of all, we will be killed. The continent of Novro is the first to kill the earthlings who come to their side. After that, it's time for absorption. But whoever has accurate knowledge of the earthlings will be absorbed. After all, no matter what world you are in, knowledge will always be power. But, no matter what, the people who survived became slaves over there. Once they have used up their knowledge, they become lambs. ”

"The continent of the Middle Ages?" Nian Hao took advantage of Konstantin's breath and asked, "Are they still in the Middle Ages?"

"Yes. After Konstantin answered, he didn't continue to say, just waited for Nian Hao to ask.

"You mean that their technological level is still in the Middle Ages?" Nian Hao wondered, "Since they are stronger than us, they can't be in the Middle Ages." ”

"But it is. Konstantin said, "Because they have the power of magic." A power we don't know, like our legends, has the power to destroy the world and turn decay into magic. ”

"There are a lot of magicians in Novro?"

"Very little, very little, very little. ”

"There are few of them, but they are still in the Middle Ages, and even if they absorb the knowledge of our earth, as you say, it is by no means possible to stay in the state of civilization in the Middle Ages. ”

Konstantin nodded and said, "But that's the truth. Because the Novro continent suppressed the power of all science and technology. It is their whole world that has invisible pressure, suppressing the power of science and technology. In the legend of the Novro continent, it was the gods of the heavens who signed a covenant at the same time and joined forces to suppress the power of technology. You imagine that an automatic rifle can be made and can shoot, but the bullets that come out are weak. In the same way, imagine that a generator made of the same material can output 220 V on Earth, but on the Novro continent, no matter how much energy is consumed, it will only be 20 V. ”

"What's the use of absorbing our knowledge?"

"Theory. Konstantin said: "Our theories are far more advanced than theirs, and it is precisely because of our scientific and technological power that we are all over the world, and the people involved in the earth, and the benefits obtained, slowly begin to have various ideas." Novro was in the Middle Ages, and many of their creatures were still on the food and clothing line, so how could hungry people have whimsical ideas? For example, why did ancient Egypt on the earth have so many poems and so much scientific knowledge remaining? Because the slaves worked outside the home, and the people who enjoyed enjoyed themselves in the city squares, so many things that were ahead of their time were born. In the same way, this is the case with Novro, how can years of war and poverty have the idea of being ahead of its time. So they absorbed our knowledge. ”

"What's the use?" asked Nian Hao.

Konstantin replied: "It's a digression. Sociology, for example, has a deep influence on their side. The organizational structure of our modern society is ahead of its time on their side. And this kind of advanced organizational structure, through our theory and practice, will make a certain country in the world extremely powerful. There are also mechanics, physics, chemistry and so on, although these sciences are not used there. But this theory can be transferred to the use of magic. The nuclear weapons theory on our side, they also used it in magic, and it is called magic nuclear weapons over there. Compared with the previous Soviet Union's 'Tsar' nuclear bomb, their magicians used it to create magic weapons, which were tens of thousands of times more powerful than the 'Tsar'. ”

"Yes, no wonder they are so powerful. Nian Hao nodded in praise.

"The topic is off topic. Konstantin returned to the main line: "The collision of two worlds, I don't know how many years have passed. Do you know the weapon in your hand? This 'black pupil' sword appeared in the Novro continent a hundred years ago, but in our world, this weapon appeared more than two thousand years ago. Moreover, the user is you. ”

"Remember, it's just specific, I don't know. According to your theory, after the appearance of this weapon, it came into contact with the earth two thousand years ago, and also came into contact with the earth a hundred years ago. Right. If you know more, you can let me know. I'd love to know. ”

"This hilt is our collection, there is a faint trace of blood on it, we have verified it through DNA, and it happens that you also came into contact with our people, only to find out that the DNA on it is yours. So, that's how we got in touch with you. ”

"How did the sword come from?"

"That was the mistake of our ancestors in your current motherland, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing, burned the Old Summer Palace, and looted many things, among which the hilt of this sword was brought back by my grandfather. ”

"There is also a question of how more than 2,000 years of antiques can still find bloodstains. ”

"Can I explain that the hilt of this sword has been in a state for more than 2,000 years?"

Nian Hao nodded and praised: "Perfect explanation, I won't ask more, will you continue?"

"For many years, earthlings have been appearing on the continent of Novro in a strange way. Although the Novro continent has a barbaric policy, there are still a few civilized people. Moreover, the earthlings have a skill in Novro that they absolutely want. That's language. This talent may be a trace of mercy given to the earthlings by the so-called gods on the continent of Novro. Once we enter the Novro continent, we earthlings can understand the language of the intelligent beings in the Novro continent. All kinds of creatures in the Novro continent are incomprehensible in language, and the common language is chaotic, but fortunately they have the talent of earthlings. This allowed the earthlings to live gradually. Of course, the translation work will touch on a lot of secrets, and gradually the earthlings will become their own power as time progresses. Until one day, under the influence of some snobbery in the Novro continent, the earthlings established a city of their own, which was the holy city of Orogus. ”

"Holy City?" Nian Hao interrupted. asked.

"Wonder about that, right? In the Novro continent, this is the Holy City, the Holy City in the eyes of all living beings, a place where only the descendants of the earthlings who have regained their free bodies can live. ”

"Earthlings descendant?"

"The Holy City does not shelter the earthlings who come to Novro for the first time, and the objects of shelter are the descendants of the earthlings over there. You must be wondering why it's called the Holy City. Because the Holy City is the only city in the Novro continent where the gods live, and it passes through the cities that the gods have allowed. ”

"God?" Nian Hao squinted, and he shook his head. "You're getting more and more mysterious. But I'm glad I understand. ”

"There are gods in the Novro continent, and they are real gods, but it is not clear what they are. There are many gods in the Novro continent, and they all stay in the center of the Novro continent, on the sacred mountain. They shelter all kinds of living beings. There will be traces of the patron gods in all kinds of battles on the Novro continent, and it is precisely in this way that no living creature in the Novro continent has been wiped out, and no living creature can rule that world. At most, the once powerful creatures were left with only a few hundred of their kind, the last of their respite under the protection of their gods. ”

Konstantin sighed and said, "I'm off topic again." Let's return to the topic of the Holy City of Orogus. Orogus is a theocratic social system, with a god-appointed senator ruling the city. Of course, the Senate is the descendants of the earthlings, with a solid foundation from their predecessors. The Senate appointed messengers to serve as officials in the city. However, the Senate only respects God's choice and shelters only the people in the holy city. But it did not protect the earthlings outside the Holy City, so another organization was born. ”

Konstantin paused and said proudly: "This organization is our accounting company. ”

"Good name. Nian Haoyan couldn't help but admire.

"The strength of our community is too small, so we have chosen the object of asylum based on a series of calculations. That's why it's called an accounting company. ”

"Then the people who were not chosen were slaughtered in that world?"

"It can't be helped. After all, again, we are too little power. Konstantin shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless movement.

"On the Novro mainland, the accounting agency is a patron. But here? How can there be such an organization? Aren't the two worlds one-way?"

"Yes, one-way. A one-way street, unchanged for eternity. But when the two worlds come into contact, what about the powerful who opens the other side with their own power?" Konstantin said: "All the powerful people in the Novro continent, the good deeds, like to change the attributes of the passage when they come into contact and want to come to this world. It's just that it didn't happen, and after the practice of these powerful people, it was discovered that only the earthlings who entered for the first time could return to the earth, and they were the first-time entrants who had no heirs on the Novro continent. For the sake of this practice, many people have been sacrificed. These people who come back, we call them returnees. The 'Accounting Society' on Earth was established by the returnees. ”

"The returnees must have come with the power of Novro. There are a lot of people. Since I mentioned it like that, I think that's probably it. Your accounting agency manages these returnees, right?" asked Nian Hao.

Konstantin nodded: "Yes, the number of returnees has always been large, and many of them have the extremely strong power of the Novro continent. In this world, there are many returnees who can subvert the power of a country at any time. However, because many people have been devastated by the hearts of those people, many of their humanity has been distorted and they have begun to take revenge on this earth. Therefore, the accounting society cultivated a group of people, came here, and established their branch on the earth to curb some people who have evil thoughts. ”

"I guess the purpose of managing returnees is not so simple. ”

Konstantin nodded and said, "Yes, management is the means, and the ultimate goal of it is to fear the direct connection of the two worlds. Imagine that after a complete passage is opened, Novro's mighty man can destroy the world with a single trick. Isn't the earth completely finished? We want to prevent the returnees from using the power of Novro as much as possible, because from the mouth of the patron god of the Holy City, it is said that once the returnees on Earth have established a magical civilization, and the two forces are in the same balance, then the passage to and from will be opened. When the time comes, both worlds will be devastated. ”

"So, you're all good people. Nian Hao smiled and asked instead, "But you said, I'm from the Novro Continent." According to you, I am not a returnee. ”

"Yes, you are the first person from Novro that our accounting firm knows. ”

Nian Hao took out the cigarette, lit it again, and said, "There is still a secret in it." ”

"Yes, you're not exactly from Novro, but you have a mix of Earth and Novro humans. To put it simply, your real parents, one is a first-time earthling, and the other is a real human inhabitant of Novro. ”

"As for the question of blood, I reserve this question. Now the problem is, you told me everything, and you didn't want a friendship. You're scared, aren't you? There are people of my bloodline, and there will be more in the future. You're afraid you won't be able to control it. ”

"That's part of our concern. Konstantin confirmed: "There is also a place to worry, you seem to have gone through a lot of time gaps on Earth. ”

Nian Hao looked at Konstantin coldly, he knew that there were other shocking facts in this old man's mouth.

Konstantin grabbed the intact white paper on the table, which represented the earth. Immediately, he grabbed a pen, stabbed it several times in a row, made several holes, and showed it in front of Nian Hao, saying: "The strength of the Novro Continent is very strong, and the point of contact with the earth may be torn apart by him, just like time. But the world in which the earth lives still has a self-repairing effect, and the time after tearing can be repaired in an instant. The hollowness on the white paper represents the time and space that are torn apart after contact. The world has fixed it again. For such an explanation, I think you should know what your problem is. ”

Nian Hao nodded and smiled: "Finally, I explained the answer I wanted." All these memories of mine were torn apart after the two worlds came into contact. And it's filled, it's perfect, it's perfect for others, it's perfect for me. There's no sign of any damage at all, is there? But why do I know such a loss? Because I have the true blood of Novro, I can perceive it. Because the power of the world in which the earth is located is not enough to erase the traces of the Novro continent on my body, right? ”

Konstantin said he confirmed.

"Okay, I have to go back, after all, I should continue to live in my own way in the world I am in now. Nian Hao retracted his legs and stood up from the table. He thanked Konstantin and said: "Thank you for everything you said to me, thank you very much. ”

"What about Xiaoyou's hopes?"

"I don't have to decide what path to take. Nian Hao said: "But I will keep my mouth shut." Since you are so frank, I will still help in some matters in the future. ”

Konstantin didn't speak, Nian Hao looked at everything around him, was silent for a moment and said, "In 210 BC, Fusu died. But in my memory, I ran away with Fusu at that time. Maybe that history is a point of contact. If there is no such reason to turn back time. Maybe if you go back to that time, you can know how a person of my bloodline entered this world. ”

Hearing this, Konstantin smiled and said, "Thank you Xiaoyou for providing this information." ”

"Aren't you just trying to know the ins and outs of this world as a person of my blood?"
