Today is July 1, 2015, and I am in the second month of this alternate plane.

Yes, my name is Sumer, a plane traveler.

After discovering myself crossing, I calmly accepted this fact.

After all, I didn't have much to worry about in my original world, and due to physical reasons, I found a professional lawyer to make a will as soon as I became an adult, and all my inheritance after death will be automatically donated to the welfare home that adopted me.

To get back to the point, the reason why I judge the place I traveled through is a parallel time and space, not only because the development process of this world is very different from what I remember, but also because the original owner who was pierced by my soul has the same face, the same name, and the same origin as I used to be.

I'm pretty sure that the cause of my crossing will not be some sudden death, and not being concerned does not mean that I am willing to die, and my desire to survive is still very strong.

So it's a common setting in novels, the soul swap of parallel worlds?

I counted the harvest of this crossing: a healthy body, a job as a social animal.

As for the other "lucky one", I thought about it seriously and probably ...... Don't have to worry about money anymore?

Although I am a little strapped now, I have no intention of returning to my old business, regardless of whether I am suitable for the water and soil, since I have inherited this identity, I am quite happy to start a new life.

The new job is classified as an IT industry and is a hardware design engineer who has been in the job for two and a half years.

The original owner is still talented, and has left the hard work of drawing board (PCB/printed circuit board design) and began to control the circuit schematic scheme of the product.

It sounds lofty, but I know very well that what controls the schematic scheme is just a nice word, because in most cases, these schematics basically don't need you to design, you just need to copy the reference design of each manufacturer.

After the schematic of the reference design is released, it is a relatively long assembly and commissioning, which is no different from the workers on the assembly line - there are no core skills, and there is a lack of sufficient professional ability to determine the success of the project.

To sum up, I have only one piece of advice for the profession of hardware design engineer: if you are not a talented boss, it is best for newcomers with career ambitions to stop their losses in time and change careers quickly.

Fortunately, I have no ambition for promotion and salary increase, and a month of social animal life has also taught me how to fish skillfully, of course, after completing my job.

Today is Wednesday, July 1, 2015, a working day.

Exporting the circuit schematic file, I opened WeChat, sent the schematic file to the original FAE - that is, the hardware technical support engineer, for the advancement of the schematic design engineer - for review, and then stretched out, got up and brought the thermos cup to fill the water.

This thermos mug was bought on the first day of crossing, the overall body of the cup is a relatively pale purple red, and the front is printed with the jingle cat that once accompanied the childhood, a child-rearing robot from the 22nd century, Doraemon.

In the pattern, Doraemon smiled and bent his eyes into crescents, looking very happy, his right hand holding up a straw, blowing sparkling soap bubbles, one, two, three - soap bubbles floating in the air, reflecting brilliant colored stripes through the interference of light.

I filled the thermos cup with hot water, and a wolfberry that I had put in advance floated along the water level and floated lazily on the water.

It's not too early to maintain hot water, not to mention that according to the rounding algorithm, I just passed my twenty-sixth birthday last month.

Twenty-six is one year older than the 25-year cut-off line, so I also take advantage of the trend to put only one goji berry, which is very reasonable.

That's how I explain it to my curious colleagues.

Whether it is a cartoon thermos cup printed with Doraemon, or a health operation of soaking (one) wolfberry in a thermos cup, it has attracted some attention from some colleagues, and most of them will end with a sentence of emotion or surprise "It's really childlike".

Even if you work together in the same company, most people's relationships are just a stranger's name as a colleague, and the exchange is shallow, well, that's just as reasonable.

I returned to my workstation with my beloved blue fat thermos cup in my hand and sat down comfortably in the cold breeze from the air conditioner.

Sadly, before I could warm up my chair, my leisure time was interrupted by another colleague.

"Is Su Mo there?" He knocked on the door twice politely, then pushed the door and walked into the office and shouted, "Brother Huo asked you to go to the conference room!" ”

Brother Huo is our department head, and his real name is Li, but for some reason, everyone always loves the word in the middle of his name to call him.

"I'm Sumer. Got it. ”

I replied slowly, stuffed a gel pen and sticky note in my pocket, and after the colleague named two more people, I took my thermos cup and walked to the door.

On the way, I asked, "Is there something important to discuss?" ”

"It's okay, it's not very important." The colleague replied casually, "The first batch of fresh graduates from the spring recruitment came to the company to report, and Brother Huo called you to assign the old and the new in the past." ”

I translated this sentence a little: you can fish openly.

So I was in a good mood again.

When I came to the conference room, there were already five people waiting inside, and the colleague in charge of delivering the message left directly.

I sat down at the back of the row and heard the others already chatting, as if they were betting on how many girls there would be in the new co-workers.

Compared with programmers, who are known as "young bald", the proportion of female hardware engineers is relatively high, but it is also very high.

Compared with opening a blind box on a blind date, many colleagues in the company tend to find a peer to talk about marriage, although there are pros and cons, but the overall pros outweigh the disadvantages, mainly because they can understand each other's work nature, as well as those who are forced to give up the company time because of work.

I held the thermos cup and closed my eyes, and after about three minutes, I heard the sound of dense footsteps in my ears.

When he opened his eyes, Brother Huo, the head of the department, was leading eight young men and women into the conference room.

I casually swept around, and there didn't seem to be anything particularly to pay attention to.

Brother Huo first motioned for the newcomers to sit down opposite the old ones, and then walked to the microphone at the conference table and said, "Quiet." Next, ask the new colleague to introduce themselves, and the first ......"

I stared at Doraemon on the thermos and began to think about what I was going to eat tonight.

After another ten minutes or so, a clear voice came to my ears.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Mingrui......

Zhou Mingrui? The real name of the protagonist of "Master of Mystery"?

This familiar name made me a little curious, and I couldn't help but look up.

Although in the current time period, the squid who loves diving should still be serializing "The Honor of the World", and there is a "Dog Food Grandmaster" in the middle of "The Master of Mystery", but it does not affect me to joke in my heart:

'Can this friend take up your time?' I want to tell you about our Word Signer and Savior, 'Fool' ...... First

The next second, my gaze froze.

What caught my eye was a young man with black hair and brown eyes, with a vigorous vitality that had just come out of the ivory tower and had not yet been polished by society.

But that's not the point, it's the face that feels inexplicably familiar to me.

If his face was a little thinner, his facial features were a little deeper, and his expression was a little colder......

Another lonely figure gradually appeared in front of my eyes.

The man had black hair and brown eyes, a thin face, and a cold temperament, a black trench coat and dark trousers, a half-height silk top hat, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, an iron-black revolver lying in a gun bag, and his hands covered by ordinary-looking black gloves.

Behind him was a crimson moon, his face slightly blurred by his back to the red moon, except for his dark brown eyes.

With the help of the Faceling's ability, Klein Moretti is based on Zhou Mingrui's appearance before the crossing, and the new vest is fine-tuned, Gelman Sparrow.

The assassination of "Lieutenant General of the Disease" Tracy became famous, and the pirates were regarded as walking gold pounds, and the crazy adventurer who became famous all over the world, Gelman Sparrow.

The "world" of the Tarot Society, but with his own hands pierced the heart of the "fool" with an ancient wooden stake, a tired traveler who chose to betray "me" and be buried in the ruins of the old days...... Gelman Sparrow.

Gelman Sparrow, who was shrouded in the crimson moonlight, seemed to notice this gaze from nowhere, and the corners of his mouth outlined a Sven smile intertwined with calm and madness, he took off the half-top hat and pressed it to his chest, and bowed slightly, his voice was indifferent and calm:

"Say hello.

"It's courtesy."

…… I was taken aback by what I had imagined.

As soon as I withdrew from my divergent thoughts, I heard Zhou Mingrui's second self-introduction: "...... The position applied for in the spring recruitment is hardware design engineer ......"

Indeed, since it is assigned to the old and the new, is it possible to let the hardware engineer bring the software programmer?

It's just that...... It's right again.

My job used to belong to the type of "don't open for half a year, open for half a year" (not tomb robbing), and occasionally had a lot of leisure time in addition to being busy.

Reading online articles is one of my options to pass the time, and because of my preference for works with rigorous settings and meticulous logic, it's no surprise that I'm a big fan of Master of Mystery.

In addition to the comment area of the first website, I am also a frequent visitor to discuss the plot of "Mystery" with book friends on major platforms such as Longkong Forum, NGA Academy, and Mystery Post Bar, and from the end of the first part to the time when I was waiting for the second part, I made up all the interviews with the squid, and learned many character settings that did not appear in the original book.

Among them is Klein's career as Zhou Mingrui.

[Before the crossing, he was engaged in partial IT work and used to be a hardware engineer. 】

I can't describe how I felt at this time, and I can only leave a faint sigh.

Klein's appearance means one thing.

The place I traveled through was not the parallel time and space I expected, but the old capital of "Master of Mystery" that only existed in the memories of the Homecoming Group.

In a little while, it may be three years, or five years, or ten years...... When the original Creator awakens from his slumber, the earth's civilization, all the prosperity of the present, will usher in a silent annihilation.

My plans for the future have been completely overturned.

I was a little silent, and a little sad.

When faced with sudden misfortune, it is necessary to complain.

But it's useless to just complain.

After the future was completely denied, the burning desire to survive drove me to think further about remedial solutions.

First of all, you need to confirm the specific time of Klein's crossing.

This is not mentioned in the original book, and the squid himself has not given a positive answer, including the discussion among book friends, and there have always been different opinions.

As a faithful canon, digging deep into the details of the original book has always been one of my pleasures.

In the original book of "The Master of Mystery", it is true that Klein's specific time travel time is not directly stated, but some clues are indirectly mentioned.

During a weekly tarot meeting, Klein played the role of the fool and read Russell's diary, and in the diary that day, for the first time, the real name of the time-traveler's predecessor, Huang Tao, appeared.

In addition to this, this diary contains a crucial piece of information.

[My Lingao 500 wastes haven't been chased yet, my Douyin ladies still have a lot to be brushed, my pesticides and chickens are waiting for me to be lucky, I still feel a little melancholy when I think about it. 】

Klein's reaction to this was –

[He originally judged that Russell had crossed three or five years earlier than him from the stalks of "Pirate King" and "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", but now he found that the interval between the two sides would not exceed one year! 】

Lingao Five Hundred Wastes, that is, the famous group wearing novel "Lingao Qiming", first published in June 2009.

Douyin, a short video social software developed by ByteDance, was officially launched in September 2016.

Pesticides, the MOBA-like mobile game "Glory of Kings" developed by Tencent TiMi Studio, was officially tested in November 2015.

Chicken, a tactical competitive shooter sandbox game developed by Krafton studio in South Korea......

It was released overseas in March 2017, announced in November that Tencent would act as an agent for the national server, and officially tested in China in December.

From this, it can be deduced that the specific time of Klein's crossing is between December 2017 and December 2018!

And this interval happens to involve a special date.

On April 1, 2018, the first chapter of "The Master of Mystery" was officially uploaded, and a two-year series began.

With the evil taste of the squid, it is likely that the day of the opening of the book will be set as the time when the protagonist crosses, or is hung by Tianzun to the source castle, to achieve a unique sense of ritual for the creator.

…… The above is just speculation, but it gives me a direction I can work towards.

Today is July 1, 2015, 29 months to December 2017, 33 months to April 2018, and 41 months to December 2018.

In other words, I have at least two years and five months to carry out my plan, and I can take care of the aftermath for myself during this time.

I looked quietly at Klein, who had just finished introducing himself and was about to return to his seat—

No, you should call Zhou Mingrui now.

and Xiao Ke, the night watchman 10,000 years later, is of the same age and is equally young, but in comparison, the experience is more immature in the workplace.

I silently recited in my heart:

- This Tianzun, you shouldn't mind buying one get one free...... Right?
