Chapter 57: Parallel Space

"Rest assured, Ms. Antonia, I don't think they'll have a chance to come here next week to collect protection money" The clown lifted the head of the silver cane next to the bed, the black cane, saluted Antonia, turned and opened the window in the room and climbed out.

Antonia walked quickly to the window, looked at the empty street under the window, and muttered, "What an interesting gentleman, I hope you can really help me......"

In the alleyway next to the Nightingale Hotel, Arno took off the crying clown mask on his face and looked back at the hotel not far away: "Antonia, it is worthy of being a woman who dares to run a Nightingale Hotel in London alone, and it is really not so easy to deal with...... Hungry wolves, maybe I should go back and arrange how to deal with them. ”

"Bang!"

Just as Arno was about to leave, a gunshot rang out outside the alleyway, followed by a rush of footsteps, and a man in a brown coat rushed into the alleyway with his shoulders clutched.

He seemed to be badly wounded, and when he ran to Arnold, he couldn't hold on, and bent over and stopped where he was.

He looked around and saw a straw cart behind Arnold, he staggered towards it, and said to Arnold: "Please don't tell anyone I'm in there, if you help me, I'll give you £1 afterwards!"

Without waiting for Arno's reply, he climbed into the straw cart with great difficulty, covered himself with the straw, and hid it in the straw.

"I saw him running here!

With a roar, a group of men in black coats and armed with machetes ran into the alleyway.

They saw Arno standing in the middle of the alleyway, and a man walked out of the crowd, staring at Arno: "Hey, kid over there, did you see a person running into here?"

Before Arno could reply, he seemed to be worried that he had been deceived, and warned Arno viciously: "You'd better think about not paying the price after answering me that no one is deceiving the Hungry Wolf Party!"

Arno was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "I saw it, he ran in from the outside, and almost knocked me down, and then ran out from the other exit of the alleyway." ”

The man stared at Arno with his eyes, and the machete in his hand shook at Arno: "You'd better tell the truth!

Then he shouted to the gang behind him: "We are chasing! He is wounded and will not be able to run far!"

Arno looked at the hungry wolf party running away, walked to the straw cart and knocked: "I think you can already come out, they have left." ”

A hand stretched out from the straw pile: "I'm hurt, for the sake of the pound, can you help me?"

Arnold sighed helplessly, reached out and grabbed the hand that came out of the straw pile, and pulled him up: "Okay, for the sake of the pound, I'll help you." ”

The man took Arno's hand and jumped out of the straw cart, then looked at Arno awkwardly: "Thank you, sir, but I think you need to send me home before I can give you pounds." ”

Arno looked at the man in front of him with a peaked cap and a brown coat with a playful look in his eyes: "Oh? That's not what you said at first. ”

The man shrugged helplessly: "It's impossible for me to carry pounds with me, after all, it's very unsafe to carry pounds with me in this era." ”

Arno grabbed the cane and dragged his hand under the man's armpit to help him stand firm: "Maybe I'll help you, what should I call you after you tell me why the Hungry Wolves are chasing you?"

"Jacob, Jacob Fry. ”

The pupils in Arnold's eyes shrank sharply: "Jacob Frye?"

Jacob looked at Arno in surprise: "You know me?"

Arno carefully observed Jacob beside him, his appearance was the same as that of Jacob from another world, looking back, even the voice was very similar, Arno wondered a little, is this world the world of Assassin's Creed, or the world of Harry Potter?

Arno remembers reading a post before he crossed over to this place, saying this.

Parallel Space Theory: Is there another guy who's reading this post like you, who isn't you, but lives in a noisy city with 7 planets revolving around a star and is also called "Earth"?

His or her life experience is the same as yours every second. However, maybe she's about to put down the article at the moment, and you're going to read it. The idea of this "doppelganger" sounds strange and implausible, but it seems that we have to accept it because it has been supported by the results of various astronomical observations.

Today's most popular and simplest model of the universe states that there is a galaxy about 10^(10^28) meters away that is identical to our Milky Way, and there is an identical you in it.

Although this distance is beyond people's imagination, it does not affect the reality of your "doppelganger" existence.

The idea originated from a simple "natural possibility" rather than the assumption of modern physics: that the universe is infinitely large in size (or at least large enough) and, as astronomical observations have pointed out, evenly distributed with matter. In this case, according to the laws of statistics, it can be concluded that all events (no matter how similar or identical) will happen countless times: there will be countless planets that give birth to human beings, and among them there will be people who are exactly the same as you, who look exactly like you, whose names, memories, and even actions and choices are exactly the same as yours, and there will be more than one, to be exact, infinitely many.

Recent cosmological observations show that the concept of parallel universes is not a metaphor. Space seems infinite. If that were the case, everything that could have happened would have happened, no matter how ridiculous it might have been. Far beyond our astronomical capabilities, there is a universe that is exactly like ours.

Astronomers have even calculated their average distance from Earth. You may never see your shadows, but science tells us they exist. The farthest distance you can observe is the farthest light traveled since the Big Bang: about 14 billion light-years, or 4 X10^26 meters, which defines the size of our observable horizon, or simply the size of the universe, also known as the Hubble volume. In the same way, the other universe you are in is a sphere of the same size. The above is the most intuitive explanation of "parallel universes". Each universe is a small part of the larger "multiverse".

Arno thought, maybe this is Jacob, who is in this world, but not an assassin?
