"Wang Haofen is our 'former' chief designer. The person in charge accentuated the tone of the word "former". "Of course, he's still in our company...... Theoretically still. But no one cares about him anymore. ”

Lu Wu knew that large companies usually had very strict regulations, and small companies were much more casual. After all, if a large enterprise with tens of millions of people is to operate normally, it is simply inconceivable without strict rules and regulations. On the contrary, those small companies composed of a few or a dozen people are simply making trouble for themselves by setting up so many systems.

"I don't really understand ......"

"That guy is a little crazy," mentioning the name Wang Haofen, the person in charge seems to have a lot of complaints. But this feeling is not that kind of hatred or disgust, but a feeling of helplessness. "I like to engage in something inexplicable and waste the company's funds. He has hosted a project ...... Well, let's say this holoera, I don't know what to call at all. So now he's no longer in charge here. But maybe he's got some Holoera parts or something. If you find him, you should be able to fix this holoera. ”

"Where can I find him?"

……

"Partner, this is a mystery. After stepping out of the building and onto the side of the road with fewer pedestrians, the master almost couldn't wait to warn him.

"You mean ...... That person in charge is lying?"

"No, that's not what I meant, but this thing ......" the master seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't express it in Chinese. "It's not normal. ”

It's not normal. If Lu Wu was only suspicious before, it is almost certain now.

The Dogtail Company is really just an ordinary small business. According to Lu Wu's understanding, it is very ordinary, electronic product design and development companies - in this place in S City, there are not 1,000 such companies, but 800. But the person named Wang Haofen is obviously not ordinary.

Because of the holoera, even the dogtail company, the company that makes it, doesn't know what it does. Otherwise, I guess the person in charge wouldn't have said something like "we don't know much about it."

Electric fans are for blowing, induction cookers are for heating, and refrigerators are for cooling – for most of the world's electrical appliances, regardless of the principle, they have a simple and obvious purpose. So what does Holoera do?

But in fact, up to now, within the scope of normal earth technology, Lu Wu has not discovered its true use. Of course, this may be because he discovered Holoera's unimaginable uses, so that he has no incentive to investigate his other uses.

However, amber is only an exception after all. If you come to the first lawlock outside the wall of the earth or something, it is estimated that there will not be a second one. This is the unrepeatable of the unexpected. So for everyone else, Holoera seems to be completely useless - such a beautiful and handsome, impressive appearance, such a pile of well-made circuit boards inside no matter how you look - such a thing to say I don't know what it does, I guess no one will believe it, right?

But this incredible thing happened.

"Why would something like Holoera be made?" Holoera is made from raw materials from Earth, but it is clearly not part of Earth's tech tree. "Partner, you should understand that any technological development is one step at a time, and even if magic is used to fill the gaps formed by imperfect development, there is a limit. You can't make something like this out of thin air. The only explanation is only one ......"

"What do you mean...... The other ...... "The current Lu Wu is not as convinced of this kind of thing as he was at the beginning. Especially after encountering the Moon Warlock on the Kunlun Mountain, he felt even more that his initial impression that because the rules of the earth's world were relatively perfect and strict, and the boundary walls were relatively solid, there would normally be no traversers, which was not necessarily correct. It turns out that it is not the so-called world wall that really restricts the traverser, but the unknown.

Even if a civilization has extremely high technology or extremely powerful supernatural abilities, entering an unknown world is still a great adventure. As the master once said, no matter how powerful a warlock is, if he enters a world that does not allow the existence of carbon-based creatures at all, then his fate can only be said to be wiped out in an instant. No matter how good the advanced equipment is, it can also become a worthless mass of scrap copper and rotten iron.

On the contrary, if we can be sure that this world is habitable, then no matter how tight the boundary wall is, it will eventually find a flaw.

"Yes, I suspect there are visitors from other worlds. The master said. "It's possible to be like me, just a traveler who stops for a while to investigate, research, and learn. But it could be something else. ”

This judgment made Lu Wu feel very depressed, but he had to admit that this possibility was extremely high.

"So it should be very dangerous to go to see that Wang Haofen. The master said. "We are not hostile, but that doesn't mean others aren't hostile. Also, if he had given the Holoera to him for repairs, he would have found the amber hidden in that fold...... If he's going to do something......"

"Didn't you say Amber was safe in there?" just a loss of freedom, akin to being in a prison.

"It's safe, but only if the holoera is in our hands as an entrance (although it doesn't work because it's broken). If it's in someone else's hands...... The entrances and exits are in the hands of someone else, and it is difficult to say what will happen. ”

"Do you have to keep an eye on the sidelines......" Lu Wu whispered to himself. "I understand, master, we can't go so rashly, we have to be prepared. ”

He thought for a moment and said. "Generally speaking, since Wang Haofen lives in the urban area of S City and not in some wilderness, I will not be threatened by my personal safety when I go to see Wang Haofen. But even then, I had to wear a magic ring and bring a weapon for self-defense. "The magic ring can directly improve the physical strength of human beings by many levels, but the increase of its physical energy is not the most useful, the most important thing is that it can control the brain with magic power, so that the speed of human thinking can be accelerated, and the effect of "self-time acceleration" can be realized. When encountering some kind of sudden accident, it can give people far more time than normal to react. "In addition, I prepare some food and water so that in case it takes a long time, I can stay there and wait for repairs instead of having to leave and have a chance. ”

"That's a good point," the master agreed. "Also, mate, you have to prepare a car just in case. ”

"Do you want to call Wang Haofen?" asked Lu Wu. But this was immediately vetoed by himself. "No, it's better not to give him time to prepare for safety. ”

"That's right," the master said. "By the way, tonight, I'm going to perform that operation on Ren Jian. ”

"Surgery?"

"As you said before, regenerate Ren Jian's fingers. The master said. The current level of science and technology on the earth is at most only the level of regeneration of severed limbs (strictly speaking, the standard for renewing severed limbs is not yet reached, because the reconnected limbs cannot really restore their functions), and they cannot regenerate severed limbs. But this is not a problem for the masters. Not to mention anything else, those destroyers were directly created by others.

"That...... Isn't there a problem with secrecy?"

"Absolutely. The master said. "As long as he has a sense of secrecy. ”

"Ren Jian, he ......" Lu Wu thought for a while, but felt that if the master was so ticketed, there would definitely be no problem. Ren Jian's matter can be said to have come from him, although in fact Lu Wu himself is also a victim. "This should be the end of it, right?"

"I don't know, after all, magic is a supernatural ability...... Even the warlocks themselves don't fully understand. There are too many hypotheses, too many concepts, but very little evidence, and incomplete statistics. It can even be said that it is difficult to give a qualitative explanation of what the so-called 'fate' is affected by the magic of the warlock. ”

Why would using the magic of the second law to help Ren Jian find a lost file would lead to death? It can only be speculated that the chaotic consciousness of the fate collective on Earth (the master recently found the most similar word in Chinese to describe it, called Alayya Consciousness) is very sensitive, and it is completely different from the world of Wago. The latter is much more sluggish. On Earth, the aftermath of the magic of the second law is far stronger than expected.

"It should be fine. Lu Wu remembered Ren Jian's face in the hospital before.

"He's fine, partner, I'm really worried about you. The master sighed softly. This time, though, it was too soft. Even through the headphones, Lu Wu didn't notice it at all, just thought it was the common noise of electronic devices.

The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown.

I don't know why, when Ren Jian walked up the stairs, this sentence was in his mind.

This is the office building of the steel mill, that is, it is a place that Ren Jian has walked countless times since he completed the acquisition. Not to mention before, some time ago, because of those various types of examinations, Ren Jian stayed here for more than one day and night. He was already familiar with his eyes closed.

He had always walked this staircase with strong and fast steps, even taking three steps and two steps. But this time, he could clearly feel his legs tremble slightly with each step.

His upper bandage had been untied, or a large part of it had been untied, at least the shape could be seen. And this appearance is enough to tell anyone that the nightmare he experienced is real. Jin Ye and his subordinates were ruthless, and directly cut off a few fingers of Ren Jian, these fingers were lost forever, and he was indeed crippled.

Even now, Ren Jian didn't dare to tell his family. In fact, he hasn't been home since, pretending that business is busy, even though it is.
