After receiving the order of the editor-in-chief Song, Gu Yi immediately set off and went to the capital.

Gu Yi is no stranger to the capital. It was once the hometown of his two older generations. At that time, the country engaged in third-line construction, and his grandparents started from here, and moved to Southwest Sichuan Province with their minor father with the factory. His mother was also a native of Beijing, and after graduating from high school, she was unemployed at home, but later heard from relatives that some large enterprises in the southwest region were recruiting a large number of workers, so she went to relatives there. Sure enough, he was successfully recruited to the company where Gu Yi's grandfather and father worked. Therefore, in his later growth, Gu Yi was able to live at a relative's house in the capital many times.

Gu Yi's family still has some relatives who remain in the capital. His great-grandfather, in the Picai Hutong in the west of the capital, once left a complete set of courtyards, which was lived by his second uncle. By the time they arrived, they also had a house. Later, his uncle always wanted to buy it, but his grandfather didn't sell it, saying that he wanted their people to enter Beijing so that they could have a place to stay.

Gu Yi as a child, also lived in Picai Hutong, and the Baita Temple opposite the Hutong mouth is his favorite place. It was a lama temple, which was not open to the public before, and a few of their children climbed over the wall to play. Later, it became an attraction, and when the entrance fee was charged, they didn't go.

However, the place that Gu Yi is most familiar with is still the "Eight Gates" of Haidian in Beijing. "Bamen'er" is located in the east of Wudaokou, which is famous for housing prices, and the official place name is "Chengfu Road East Exit". Because there used to be eight universities there, and the school gates were all facing this place, so the locals are commonly known as "Bamener".

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, these "eight colleges" were the top science and engineering colleges and universities that attracted fame throughout the country, and they trained a large number of high-tech talents for national construction. But then, there was a historic relocation of colleges and universities, which changed beyond recognition. What was once a cultural gathering area has now been transformed into an authentic living district. However, the name of the place has not changed as a result.

Gu Yi's grandmother's house is at the former site of the former Mining Institute in the northwest corner of "Bamen'er". There is still a branch of the Mining University. When Gu Yi was young, he was led by his grandmother for a few years, so he is also very familiar with this area.

Gu Yi's editorial office in Beijing this time is in "Bamen'er". So, without saying hello to anyone, he booked a room online in the hotel at the University of Mines. Since this trip was an errand, he didn't need to use his house in Bicai Hutong, not to mention, it was closer to where he was doing business.

When he came to the editorial office in the capital, Gu Yi was still a little apprehensive. First, he is a newcomer, and everyone in the unit is his senior; second, this editorial department is very special, and its history of existence is longer than that of the headquarters. The editorial department of Beijing was originally under the Ministry of Combustion and Chemical Industry of the People's Republic of China, but after the institutional reform, the Ministry of Combustion and Chemical Industry was abolished, and then it was delegated to the magazine. Before the decentralization, the editorial department had been attached to the ministry for a long time, and often went to various places to do things as a staff member of the ministry and commission, which was very respected by the local leaders and made people get used to it. Therefore, there is still a trace of officialdom left.

Although Gu Yi came on behalf of the headquarters, he definitely didn't dare to hold it up. got out of the car and went straight to the editorial department in Beijing, and when he saw that everyone shouted teacher, he pressed his posture to the lowest, which made the people in the editorial department in Beijing feel good. Gu Yi actually has his purpose in doing this. He wanted to borrow the connections of these people in the future to lay a foundation for him to figure out the dimensional space pipeline. The capital is the area with the highest concentration of information and talents in the country, and if it can't be done here, there is no place to do it.

Of course, the editors of the editorial department in Beijing are also old rivers and lakes, and the people sent by the headquarters to deal with affairs, no matter how young they are, they also represent the headquarters. Therefore, he is very polite to Gu Yi at least on the surface. The old director personally received him, introduced all the people in the editorial department to Gu Yi one by one, and visited the offices again.

Gu Yi knows that it is generally slow to do things in the capital. Since it was the first day, it was just the beginning of the day, and it was another afternoon, and the director of the editorial department did not say a word about the cases to be handled. After the greetings and the introduction of the visit, let Gu Yi go back to rest first, and then talk about it the next day. This style seems to have become the norm. Of course, Gu Yi won't ask too much, and listen to the leader's arrangement.

After coming out of the editorial office, he stayed alone in the hotel he had booked. Everything has to wait for tomorrow.

After settling in the hotel, Gu Yi suddenly felt that he had nothing to do. He went downstairs and went to the place where his grandmother used to live, where he used to play when he was a child.

Gu Yi's grandmother and grandfather, who used to be teachers at this college, passed away many years ago. The house they used to live in was a public unit, so Grandma didn't leave anything behind. Gu Yi went there to wander around, just to pass the time and find some memories.

When he came to the building where his grandmother's family used to live, Gu Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know him anymore.

There has been no relocation, and there has been no change in the buildings and roads. Even the trees in front of the building and the small square on the side of the building still maintain the appearance of his childhood memory.

However, when he was young, he felt that the place was so big and the building was very high. And now, as he grew up, the buildings suddenly became shorter, the roads narrowed, and the places that used to be wide became noticeably smaller.

Gu Yi secretly wondered if this feeling meant that people's vision was subject to the growth of their bodies and minds, or that the maturity of their bodies and minds could directly affect the changes in time and space?

This change may be explained by the growth and height of the human body, but it cannot be denied the fact that time and space can change with the change of certain conditions. In other words, whenever we see space-time, it is not necessarily the way it is, and when conditions change, these space-times will also change adaptively?

If this speculation is true, then can some biological beings with higher intelligence than human beings, or people in higher dimensional space, be able to transfer a person's time and space through the change of certain conditions?

If so, this may explain the disappearance of Ah Die, and the reason why everyone can collectively lose their memory. In that metamorphic rock hundreds of millions of years ago, the golden hairpin of Adie appeared, it should be the same reason, right?

Space is like this, and time seems to have the same law. When a person is 0-10 years old, people will feel that the days are very long, as if time is infinitely far away, and with the growth of age and the enhancement of consciousness, people's understanding of time is obviously accelerating. Does this phenomenon also show that both time and space are closely related to our human cognition? !

Gu Yi walked slowly to the building and walked up the stairs one by one. The staircase handrails of this old building are made of terrazzo, and this was once the happiest slide of Gu Yi's childhood. It's so dirty now, it doesn't look like a slide anymore.

When he came to the door of the room where his grandmother had lived before, he wanted to knock on the door and take a look, fantasizing about his grandmother and grandfather suddenly opening the door and greeting them with a smile. However, now he knows that things are no longer human. He didn't knock on the door, which would be offensive, and now people don't know him, and they have to struggle to explain.

On the ground outside the door of this house, there were some small pockmarks, Gu Yi still remembered, he smashed them with a hammer when he was a child. At that time, he wanted to smash a knife out of wire. Later, Professor Gao downstairs came up. When asked what he was doing, he said he was smashing a knife and stupidly showing it to Professor Gao. Fortunately, Professor Gao is very elegant, and he has actually endured Gu Yi for a long time. But he didn't roar, but squatted down to reason with Gu Yi. He said that he still had to prepare for class and asked Gu Yi if he could go outside and smash it.

Gu Yi came out of the building and went around the academy for a while. In a small square outside the building, he met some familiar old people. However, those people didn't know him, because Gu Yi was still young at that time. However, Gu Yi recognized them. Their faces are still the same as they were back then, but their bodies have become smaller. Among them, among those people is Professor Gao.

At this time, Professor Gao, in Gu Yi's eyes, was no longer the tall and big he used to be, but had become very short. It seems that time is really not only changing people, but also transforming people. It can change people's consciousness and also transform people's body shape.

Gu Yi didn't want to catch up with those old people, they had a generation gap, and they didn't have so many intersections and stories, so he turned around and returned to the hotel.

When dinner was approaching, Deputy Director Chen in the editorial department called and said that he wanted to have dinner with him. Gu Yi originally thought that only Director Chen accompanied him, just two people. However, when he arrived at the hotel that Director Chen had mentioned as promised, there were seven or eight people sitting inside, all of whom were women, except for Director Chen, who was a man.

It seems that they haven't eaten official dinner for a long time, probably because they want to borrow his mouth to open the meat, right?

At dinner, Director Chen and those female editors also drank a little wine with Gu Yi, Gu Yi didn't expect that although those female editors were pushing, they were actually quite able to drink. Especially the girl named Ye Yiping, who constantly befriended Gu Yipan, from alumni to fellow villagers, each of them had to have a drink alone. Therefore, everyone was fine in the end, but Gu Yi was a little drunk. Fortunately, he was still conscious and didn't have any foreign appearances.

When I left the hotel, the sky was already dark. The neon lights along the street of "Bamen'er" are flashing with dazzling brilliance, shining brightly, reflecting the entire block. After Gu Yi said goodbye to everyone, he walked back to the hotel room alone. He took a shower, then went to the floor-to-ceiling window of his room and looked out distractedly.

Gu Yi specially booked a high-rise room, 21 floors, room number 2112, very easy to remember. He had long wanted to take a good look at the night view of the capital from a high place.

21 floors, for a modern city, is not a high-rise building at all. However, for Gu Yi, this is enough. He's not here for sightseeing. From this height, you can enjoy the night view of the capital, and you can count the spectacular blocks under the capital horizon divided by street lamps.

The reason why Gu Yi wants to look down from a high place is because when people stand on a high place, their minds will be broader. The high place can not stick to the subsections, as if from the perspective of a superman, overlooking life and thinking about life.

Looking down from this vision, he can feel that everything is not far away, time and space seem to be under control, and all patterns can be planned. In other words, Gu Yi wanted to use this high-level perspective to experience how human beings under a little supernatural power despise the people in the world.

Gu Yi stood in front of the window, through the large glass window that fell to the ceiling, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. His mind was receiving a shock. It was as if he was in the air, talking to someone in the future. In other words, he would love to talk to someone from a certain time and space.

This is the interior of the university, and there are college students hurrying downstairs. Gu Yi couldn't help but think of the days when he lived with Ah Die. Thinking of Ah Die, Gu Yi couldn't help but feel a little sad. He couldn't even help but let a few tears spill out of the corners of his eyes.

In a certain time and space, will Ah Die also miss him in the same way?

Inadvertently, Gu Yi found that the window glass could reflect light, and with the help of the reflection of the glass, he could see the image behind him clearly.

Maybe it's because the house is very brightly lit and it's dark outside. In short, this huge window glass can not only transmit the outside of the window, but also reflect the interior, which is the two-sided nature of glass.

Suddenly, Gu Yi saw a person, a woman, walking silently from behind Gu Yi, from left to right, from the reflection of the glass.

Who? Gu Yi was taken aback.
