"The abandoned history left in virtual time is an illusory possibility for the development of the world to the real universe - most of them are possibilities that develop in a malignant direction. Of course, intelligent creatures in virtual time do not realize that they are living in In a history that has long been abandoned, they can still explore the universe and develop technology, but those abandoned histories that are doomed are basically unable to support these civilizations until they develop to the level of technology that realizes that they do not have reality, and they will perish."
The director used straightforward and easy-to-understand words to reveal the truth of the world to Wu Ming. Wu Ming felt like he had absorbed the knowledge of thirty madmen and the wisdom of more than a dozen ancient gods in one go. I know a lot of incredible things: the difficulties faced by intelligent creatures and civilizations living in abandoned history can basically be described as a hell start. Then Wu Ming realized something very scary.
"What about...our world?"
"So far, it is still in the physical universe." The director's expression rarely became serious. She looked directly into Wu Ming's eyes and said seriously: "Protect it - at least protect the earth's civilization from all kinds of inexplicable reasons. It is your mission to prevent the unexpected disasters from falling into virtual time and becoming abandoned history."
At this moment, Wu Ming felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, but this feeling only lasted for a few seconds before being interrupted by the ensuing question: "What about that world and Siegfried?"
"It's up to you to judge this." The director finished eating the crispy noodles and returned his attention to the light screen on his desk: "You can learn about those abandoned histories and the relationship between earth civilization and these abandoned histories. They are also deeply entangled. Maybe you can find out the reasons for their failure and complete your job better. However, I suggest that you don’t try to save these abandoned histories. Maybe you can save one or two people, but you can’t. Ways to save this abandoned history from the source.”
Wu Ming held his chin and thought carefully: "You mean those abandoned histories are related to earth civilization?"
"You need to confirm it with your own eyes and then make a judgment."
"Understood, understood." Wu Ming had a guilty smile on his face, indicating that he fully understood what the director meant, but in fact he didn't understand anything.
At this time, the director's attention was completely focused on the light screen playing the video. He waved his hand casually and said absently: "Okay, you go back and wait for technical support first. You can recharge your batteries in the past two days and take a look." The strategy posts in the forum will help you develop the use of auxiliary devices, which will be of great use to your future work. If you want to go back, turn right when you go out and walk to the end. My rice is very expensive and I won’t let you eat."
Wu Ming, who was about to walk out, almost fell to the ground when he heard the director's last words.
Not long after Wu Ming left, the director, who had been watching the video attentively, suddenly raised his head, looked at the direction in which the former left, and said slightly: "What a good young man."
Thunder Angel floating aside vibrated his vocal organs and hummed in agreement: "Yes, it is hard to find such an easy-to-deceive operator now. Boss, you are so unkind. This is completely taking away the vast majority of the responsibility that should be yours." Did you leave the handling to him?"
"That's right, otherwise why do you think I tricked him here in the first place." The director scratched his nose proudly, with a smile of success on his face: "When I train him to the point where he can work overtime on his own every day, I can fish every day without having to work.”
Wu Ming, who had already left the office, naturally didn't know the director's sinister intention to train him into El-Melloi II and make him work overtime every day.
The next few days were peaceful, which allowed Wu Ming to enjoy the rare tranquility. The office did not convey any new tasks. After giving lessons to the students, Wu Ming, who had nothing to do, took Zhao Sida and Elizabeth to explore. In the shadow world, or huddled at home and connected to the office's intranet forum to get familiar with and explore the new functions of the auxiliary device, the student girl who had been in a coma during this period also woke up.
However, this girl was obviously frightened by the previous experience. When she woke up and saw Wu Ming, Elizabeth, and Zhao Sida surrounding her, she immediately fainted with a whimper. Later, she relied on Zhao Sida's soothing skills. The mental connection between Shi and Elizabeth stabilized her mental state.
After finally reaching the level where he could communicate, Wu Ming discovered that this girl knew almost nothing. She didn't know what the young man wanted to do when he came to find her, and she didn't know why she suffered such a crime. In the days after she was taken away She has been beaten and tortured by young men in various ways, so that her psychological shadow is so severe that now she will fall into a strong PTSD state when she sees a stranger.
For this student girl, her experiences and memories of being involved in extraordinary events are obviously full of pain and fear. If memory manipulation and mental repair are not carried out, this shadow and pain will turn into nightmares and haunt her for a long time. For a long time, it became a horror that could not be forgotten for a lifetime. According to the employee rules of the Lucky Ancient God Office and the "Incomplete Guide to the Aftermath Treatment of the Lucky Ancient God Office", she had reached the conditions for forced memory manipulation and mental restoration. .
Looking at the sleeping student girl who had undergone memory manipulation and mental repair processing, Wu Ming didn't feel the insignificance and powerlessness of ordinary people until they were involved in extraordinary events until that moment. Not everyone is like Wu Ming or Lin Jiao. As lucky as Jiao, the former met two extraordinary creatures who had no ill intentions towards him, while the latter only suffered a little fright after being involved in an extraordinary incident because Wu Ming and his team rescued him in time.
This student girl is the fate of most people involved in extraordinary events - they can't even protect themselves in the face of these supernatural forces that defy logic and common sense. It's okay if they encounter extraordinary creatures, after all. In this modern society, even extraordinary creatures need to live more or less hidden in human society. At least there is still room for communication, but if you encounter that kind of abnormal object that doesn't make sense to you at all, then it's really... I can only pray that I am lucky enough to survive until rescue arrives.
Today, Wu Ming, who had finished teaching his students as usual, was preparing to go home when he received a task from the Lucky Ancient God Office.
"Emergency mission appears: A new [abnormality] has appeared, which has had a spreading impact on human society. New operator Wu Ming, please go to the scene immediately after checking the mission briefing to deal with the abnormal objects!"
