Mankind doubts God's oath and wishes to build a tower to heaven.

God came from heaven to earth and sent messengers to change the language of mankind, and human beings could no longer communicate with each other.

Stupid and complacent human, you will never be able to stand up to the gods.

I learned the story of him and Zhen'er from Second Lieutenant Lin. Now, Ensign Lin is under the watchful eye of the Duke and cannot leave Noah City casually. I volunteered to come to the Tower of Babel.

The Tower of Babel holds secrets, secrets of human experiments fifteen years ago.

Fifteen years ago, the materials for human experiments were basically destroyed, but according to Ensign Lin, some high-ranking personnel still had some information in their hands, and there was a document hidden in the Tower of Babel. At that time, a certain researcher hid in the tower and hid the data somewhere in the tower. The scientist was subdued by the second lieutenant, but the second lieutenant did not find any information.

The lieutenant deduced that the duke wanted the key to the Tower of Babel probably for this information, and it was not known for what purpose the duke wanted to restart the experiment of that year.

I roughly sorted out the clues I had, and found that there are still three questions: first, the Duke got the information he wanted, so at that time his deal with the ensign broke down, the question is who did the Duke get the information from? Second, Zhen'er was taken from Ariadne, who was the person who took her? Third, was the human experiment really just an experiment to study the growth of human beings in the New World? The answer should be more than that.

The second lieutenant decided to stay in Noah City and investigate the other person who was making a deal with the second lieutenant at the time, and use this as a clue to find the duke's co-conspirators. I'm going to go to the Tower of Babel and find the materials that were left there.

Now the problem is that I can't enter the Tower of Babel, and after entering the Tower of Babel, I will remember the events of my life and will not be able to leave again. I went to Roddy and asked him to change my book and change my memories so that I wouldn't be affected even if I entered the tower. But my proposal was vetoed by Luo Di, and there was no room for negotiation, and Xia Shujun was not willing to help me.

"I said you can come to me no matter what questions you have, but you can't joke with the Book of Memories."

Luo Di, who is usually not serious, has a serious face at the moment, he retracts the smile on the corner of his mouth, frowns slightly, and his tone is displeased. Xia Shujun glanced at me from the side, suggesting that I should not insist any longer.

I knew Roddy was concerned about me, but I didn't care what happened to me in my life, and I didn't want to make my wish come true. Memory is such a thing, if you don't have it, it can get me a pass. With this pass, I might be able to learn more about the Authority. I peeked at Roddy and tried to change Roddy's mind:

"Roddy, in fact, changing memories doesn't have a great impact on people, right......"

"Who said before that it was too painful for Ensign Lin to not be able to recover his memory?"

Well, it's me.

"Who said that if you were in an eternal state, you might choose to commit suicide?"

Well, it's me.

"Who was in pity of what happened to Second Lieutenant Lin before?"

Well, it's me too.

Roddy's soul asked three times, as if three sharp arrows were stabbing at me, and in a hurry, there was no time to find other excuses.

"But Roddy, I promised everyone in one go, and I got the key......"

Roddy's brows were almost tangled, and he stared at me as if he were interrogating a prisoner.

"The second lieutenant will not allow you to change your book, and he is not asking you for the key, but for me."

The gears in my head slowed down by half a beat before they joined together. When I went to see the second lieutenant, he didn't ask for my help, I offered it myself, and he didn't refuse my help even though he knew the risks of entering the tower. It was because he knew that I, as a manager, must have known Roddy, and the second lieutenant was borrowing my hand to ask for Roddy's assistance. But......

"Roddy, if it's you, can you enter the tower?"

I was vaguely uneasy in my heart, if Roddy could enter the tower, did it mean that Roddy, like the second lieutenant, was a person who had been changed.

Roddy no longer looked at me, he sat at his workbench, looking down at the messy papers on the table, and did not answer my question for a long time.

"If you want to enter the tower, I recommend someone, Angelo, and he will definitely help."

"Angelo? Has he also been revised? ”

"No, his situation is quite special, and I can't say much about the specifics."

Well, since it's hard to say more, I won't ask more. But Roddy didn't answer my previous question, if it was him, would he be able to enter the tower?

If I continue to ask, he will probably ramble again and divert the topic.

"Roddy, are you hiding something from me?"

The smile stretched across his face, he looked at me with his head propped up, and the displeasure and anger that had just now vanished, and now he was back to his usual appearance. To be honest, although the coat wrapped around Roddy is not annoying, it is definitely impossible to please others. So what is his purpose?

People often hide their true selves in order to cater to others. But Roddy is not, his disguise has nothing to do with other people's eyes. If he doesn't care about what others say, why doesn't he be his true self? Instead, wrap yourself in bottomless darkness layer by layer. Is it to protect yourself?

Luo Di shoved a dozen documents into my hand, "Since you are so idle, why don't you help me sort out the materials and make Ishikawa-kun a little more relaxed." ”

Once again, he dodged my question.

I honestly sat down at his workbench, and Roddy had helped me a lot, and now I couldn't help him.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Take a look at this newspaper first and circle out the news you care about."

What's the situation? What's wrong with him again? Although I couldn't understand Roddy's request, I did it anyway.

I perused every section of the newspaper, and it was not so much news as anecdotes and gossip, like the legend of a heart-digging maniac, the scandal of a certain earl, the queen's recipe, and the strange music of the tower...... People in the New World love legends and lace news.

"How's that, are you interested?"

"If you have to say it, it's just this heart-digging demon and the music of the tower......"

Roddy smiled with satisfaction, he pointed to the legend of the tower, "This tower refers to the Tower of Babel, and when Angelo enters the tower after the Tower of Babel, you don't have nothing to do, you go to the surrounding towns to collect information about this legend." ”

"Is there any necessary connection between the two?"

"If you want Angelo to get the information, be sure to investigate."

Even though I didn't understand what I meant, I nodded in agreement.

"What else is there to care about?"

"There's no news," I said, leaning on the table, tapping my fingers against the wooden tabletop, making a thump. "Roddy, is there a misprint of the date in the newspaper?"

The date on the newspaper was May 15, 2030, which I had a bit of a hard time intelligible.

"Nope." He spoke three words briskly.

No, but Roddy doesn't look like he's joking.

"It's 2030? Is this the chronology of the New World? ”

"The year is 2030." He replied.

"No, it won't!" I jumped with excitement, and my worldview was restructured once again. "I'm in my thirties?"

"Sure enough, it's stupid," Xia Shujun, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke, he turned to face us, "Your age in the new world stays at the end of your life in this world, if you die at the age of fifteen or sixteen, then you will always be fifteen or sixteen years old in the new world." ”

I understand the reason, but this sudden time difference makes me feel like I have ten years of youth stolen.

"Xia Shujun, where have I been in the past ten years? Why am I not impressed at all? ”

"How do I know what you're up for? Maybe it's just that you've lived a stupid life on your own, and you have lost your mind or amnesia without knowing it. After answering my questions, he continued to work and ignored me. The papers in front of him are piled up into a small mountain, and Roddy, as his boss, really doesn't take care of him at all......

"Roddy, what do you say?" I turned to Roddy for help.

He folded the newspaper in half and put it away. "I think you may have gotten lost on your way into this world, stuck at the junction of this world and the present world for ten years."

"Am I such a fool?"

"I can't say." He scoffed, I really don't know what I was like in his heart...... I guess it's not a positive character.

"That's all you have to think about your lost decade?"

"Or else? Should I go to the seventh carriage and look for Yoshihiro Tomiyasu's manga and see how many chapters he has updated in the past ten years? ”

The various anecdotes of the new world have refreshed my worldview again and again, and the ten years I lost are nothing compared to the existence of witches and monsters.

"There are no cartoons in the seventh carriage." Xia Shujun interjected and replied.

"Well, another dream of mine is shattered."

I'm not smart, but I'm not stupid. Roddy, after you heard that Second Lieutenant Lin gave me the key, you have been guiding me, first avoiding my questions, then recommending Angelo to enter the tower, then asking me to read the newspaper, asking me to investigate the rumors of the tower, and finally making me realize that there is a gap of ten years in my memory.

To be sure, Roddy avoided my questions because he didn't want me to know anything, or what the rest of the memory vault knew from it. But he was indeed willing to help Ensign Lin, but he couldn't go into battle himself, so he recommended Angelo and gave me clues around the corner. As for what does this 10-year gap imply to me? I haven't figured that out yet.
