"When did you arrive?" Xu Mengyuan asked Li Yu, who was standing in front of the door.

"Five minutes ago."

"It seems that you have started to integrate into the corporate culture of the Third Age, but there is still room for improvement."

Xu Mengyuan smiled slightly, and swiped the electronic lock on the door at 8:57, "The front desk administration usually arrives at the last minute, as for the rest of the people as long as they arrive before 9:20, they are not late, I came here a little early for you, come in, there are many things to do today." ”

Li Yu followed Xu Mengyuan into her office, a room numbered 2.

Unlike the previous room number 8, this is a typical office layout, with desks and chairs, computers, printers, filing cabinets, etc., everything looks like a normal company department.

Well, there is still a little difference, Li Yu noticed that the ergonomic chair Xu Mengyuan was sitting on was Herman Miller's.

The online price of such a chair is between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan, and even if it is collected, it is not cheaper. Even those first-tier Internet companies rarely have the heart to give their employees this kind of chair.

Xu Mengyuan hung his shoulder bag on the hole board on the wall, and put the tofu brain and fried dough sticks bought at the breakfast shop downstairs to his workstation.

Then he opened the drawer, took out a black folder from it, and handed it to Li Yu.

"According to your previous request, we will talk about the contract after you finish the first day of work, how about it, now do you have the answer?"

Li Yu took the contract, also found an office chair and sat down, first quickly scanned the general content inside, and then read it carefully from beginning to end, word by word.

After confirming that there were no text traps in it, and that there was no disgusting non-compete agreement, he put down the contract and looked up again, "Aren't you worried that I will call the police when I go back yesterday?" ”

"It's impossible to recruit people without taking any risks." Xu Mengyuan lifted the paper lid on the tofu brain, "Since you took the first step, of course we have to repay your trust." ”

"What do you mean by giving back trust, do you mean putting me in room 8 while I don't have my back?" Li Yu asked.

"I don't want to do that. It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning, I told you early on that if you don't let you see that world with your own eyes, there are some things that you won't believe even if I say it. ”

Xu Mengyuan grabbed the fritters with one hand, scooped up a spoonful of tofu brain with a small spoon of Shuo sauce with the other, put it to his mouth and blew it.

"Besides, even if you don't like this job and don't want to part with us peacefully, we have a PR department dedicated to dealing with such things."

"What to do, kill me?"

Xu Mengyuan shook his head, "We are a regular company and don't do illegal things." ”

"But if I had died in that world yesterday......"

"You're not going to die there," a voice sounded from outside the door, "hmm...... You're going to die there, to be exact, but it doesn't matter, you'll come back, and there's no more, because your Godhead sequence is the legendary Reborn, just like the most famous prophet in Christianity. ”

The person who spoke was a handsome mixed-race guy who looked about Li Yu's age, with chestnut hair, wearing an Forza Horizon 4 peripheral T-shirt and a pair of large flower beach pants underneath.

He doesn't look like he's coming to work, it's more like a playboy going on vacation to the beach.

As soon as he entered the door, he stretched out his hand to Li Yu and said enthusiastically, "Hephaestus, the equipment department, my hair is not dyed, because my mother is a Slav, oh, and to make it a special emphasis, I am not gay." ”

"Li Yu." Li Yu shook hands with Hephaestus, "What did you mention [Reborn] ...... just now?"

"Oh, the sequence of your godhead first appears in the Gospel of Matthew, in Mark 16:9, and in 1 Peter...... But unlike other godhead sequences, Reborn is too rare to have a wife.

"No one has owned it since that man, so much so that we can't even be sure if it's real or not, until your appearance puts an end to this millennia debate."

The half-race handsome guy's eyes were extremely hot when he looked at Li Yu, as if he was staring at a limited character with a golden light that had just been drawn out of the card pool.

"Thank you for telling me in advance that you're not gay, but I still don't quite understand ......"

"To put it simply, you have a special ability that allows you to respawn indefinitely." Xu Mengyuan on the side bit the fritter and said.

"Plane travel is bizarre enough, and now you're trying to tell me that the stories in the Bible are true?" Li Yu frowned.

"Part of it," Hephaestus nodded, "though it may be a little different from the narrative perspective. So far, we have confirmed the existence of more than 60 kinds of godhead sequences, which are distributed in Norse mythology, Celtic mythology, Hindu mythology...... most in the Bible, after all, it was written closest to us and is easier to verify.

"These Godhead sequences are precious treasures that were gifted to us by guests from another universe long ago. It is precisely because of their heritage company that they were founded, and stepping into this blue ocean that no one has touched before is like the Mayflower that has crossed the ocean to the New World. ”

"What the hell do you want to do, to plunder the gold, property, and energy of another universe?" Li Yu asked.

"No, no, no, that would be too barbaric, the New World and Mayflower are just a metaphor, and we are different from the greedy and ruthless European colonizers. And as you may have noticed, we can't take a single plant or tree from that world. In fact, there is only one thing we can take from there – and that is faith. ”

"Faith, isn't that just an abstract concept?"

"Faith is real, and it is a very expensive and special resource that can flow freely in different universes without being limited by planes." Xu Mengyuan had already finished eating the fritters on his hands and wiped his hands.

"Since its inception, the company has been committed to the exploitation and utilization of faith, and all of our work revolves around these two projects."

"Let me summarize," Li Yu said, "if I understand correctly, you have just hinted that many myths and legends in human history are true, and they were left behind by visitors from other planes, in order to mine the special resource of faith on Earth.

"And then the Tertiary now somehow inherited the technology they left behind, and also ran to other planes to collect faith...... What about Taoism, does it also originate from other universes? ”

"No, Zhang Daoling is his own person." Hephaestus looked adoring, "He is my idol, completely self-taught, and his use of faith, although crude and primitive, is still very instructive for our research to this day." ”
