Chapter 18 Working for God
Hao Ren looked at his eyes, nose, mouth, and heart. He sat on the chair as still as a clock, with his hands on his knees, and his expression was particularly solemn. He realized that he was facing a situation that was beyond human understanding. If he still If you want to enjoy the rest of your life smoothly, the wisest choice is to curb your usual lazy and careless style and listen carefully to the woman in front of you who calls herself God.
"How does it feel to experience Genesis firsthand?" Raven 12345 glanced at Hao Ren with a smile from the corner of his eyes.
Hao Ren observed Raven 12345's expression and confirmed that this woman was really easy to talk to. Then he grinned coquettishly: "I want to ask you if this is an illusion...will you kill me easily?"
"No, because many people have asked you this question, I'm not surprised at all," Raven 12345 shrugged, "I will continue to take you to see more things until you completely understand and believe what I tell you. , but not now. Now you just need to take what I say seriously for now, and then let’s talk about work.”
Hao Ren raised his hand to signal the other party to stop, because he needed time to sort out what exactly happened.
He thought that the bizarre events he experienced were just things on earth, but the woman in front of him actually claimed that she was from... another world? Not the earth, not an alien planet, not an alien galaxy, but another universe! She claims that she comes from an empire that rules the multiverse, and works in a unit called the Space-Time Administration, which is responsible for managing the order of this universe. Now this woman who calls herself God says that she needs to find an agent to deal with an acre of the earth. Three trivial matters, so she approached Hao Ren...
That's it from beginning to end. There's nothing difficult to understand in terms of language. It's just that it challenges three perspectives.
Hao Ren secretly looked at Raven 12345. The latter was obviously aware of it, but did not express anything about it. So taking this opportunity, Hao Ren began to compare the silver-haired woman in front of him with the image of a god in his impression, such as adding wings to the woman's back or a halo to the back of her head... But it took a lot of work. He gave up after meeting, knowing that it was just a waste of time: from the moment he met the werewolf who was afraid of cats, he should have thrown all the legends on the earth into the sewer.
"Are there really other universes?" Hao Ren looked at Raven 12345 for a while, "I have seen it in the book, parallel universes and so on, is this the theory?"
"It's much more complicated than that. The real macro-world structure is much more complicated than human imagination." Raven 12345 pouted, as if he was too lazy to explain the problem. "You can't touch things in other worlds for the time being. That's the comment on Things to do after you officially start working or have special tasks. The most important thing for you now is to take care of the one-third of an acre of land you have..."
"Why me?" Hao Ren couldn't help but interrupt the other party. He felt that he had to gain some initiative. Even if he couldn't defeat the other party, he still had to try to speak tougher. "You didn't ask for my permission, did you?"
"Oh yes, I forgot about this," Raven 12345 suddenly slapped his forehead, which made Hao Ren shed a drop of cold sweat, "The principle of voluntary work, there is indeed such a voluntary principle... I always assumed that you agreed. So you don’t want to?”
Hao Ren was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party's conditions were quite loose. Being so easy to talk to was different from the mysterious force he had assumed: he thought that if he refused to cooperate, he would be killed and silenced. However, after Raven 12345 offered this loose condition, he hesitated: What should he do? Really refuse? It always feels a bit pity...as if this new life of mine is stillborn before it even begins.
“What happens if I don’t agree?”
"You will have your memories of these two days wiped away, and I will also be responsible for taking away the werewolf. Don't worry, I won't hurt you or the werewolf. It's just that you will have nothing to do with these things that you shouldn't have contact with from now on. Ordinary People have an ordinary life and are exposed to extraordinary things as ordinary people. They have died miserably throughout the ages," Raven 12345 explained calmly, "I will find other agents. Anyway, there are many people on the earth, so it is not possible. I can also apply from above to send an intern as an assistant."
Hao Ren felt his heart tighten, and an inexplicable feeling filled the air. Then he shook his head: "Then what if I agree? What exactly do you want me to do? I'll agree first that I won't do anything that violates morality. Ah, I am a good person."
The corners of Raven 12345's mouth raised slightly: "Don't be so nervous. You are working for the Gods. In other gods, this position is even called the 'Holy Son' or the 'Agent'. It's just that our system is special, so we don't call it that. Forget it, what are you worried about? I won’t let you do bad things. You have two main tasks: first, receive some tenants, just like you did before, but these tenants will be special and they need help. They need a place to settle down and someone to guide them - you need to receive and take care of them so that they will not cause harm to the human world. Secondly, help me with other tasks."
Hao Ren: "..." He instinctively felt that the second thing was the key!
"The tenant you are talking about is like Lily, right?" Hao Ren tried to find out more. Although this would not allow him to take the initiative, it would at least prevent him from being tricked. "'Alien'? Can I ask the reason for doing this? No? Just because you don’t want them to destroy the human world?”
"Actually, the reasons are very complicated," Raven 12345 said very patiently. "Any civilization, unless it encounters some kind of catastrophe or encounters other serious situations that require the gods to personally help, otherwise they have the right to evolve naturally without interference. I know your human myths and legends, but the real gods are different from your legends - we create the world, manage the world, and destroy the world, but there are strict rules and regulations, and no one can interfere and destroy mortals at will. activities. We made many mistakes in this area before we changed our profession to become gods, so now this is a very serious issue. The same is true for your world: human civilization should evolve naturally without external interference. You It's okay to encounter some twists and turns in your own development, but if a third party tries to artificially distort the evolution of mankind, I have an obligation to help you stop it. As for your mission... it is to clean up the 'aftermath' ."
Hao Ren struggled to understand Raven 12345's words, and seemed to have vaguely grasped something: "You said there is some...'third-party force' trying to interfere with the progress of mankind?! Lily...and what I will receive in the future Are all the tenants involved in this disturbance?”
"Don't think too much, that happened a long time ago. I have dealt with the biggest impact. You humans are safe now. As long as you don't commit suicide, you can live until death." Raven 12345 looked into Hao Ren's eyes. , "As for the tenant you are going to receive...it is indeed related to a certain big event, but it is still a secret for you, so don't ask too much. How about it, are you willing to do this? Although it is just to help the Space-Time Administration Cleaning up work and so on, but to be honest, this is an enviable job in many worlds, and it is more or less treated as a non-staff temporary worker in enterprises and institutions..."
Hao Ren: "...If you say that, I won't dare agree to it, okay?"
Raven 12345 looked up to the sky and laughed, not caring.
Hao Ren lowered his head and thought hard about this question that might change the fate of his life.
He still couldn't completely believe the woman in front of him, and he couldn't understand what the so-called multiverse, gods, macro world, etc. were. Just like Raven 12345 said, at this stage, he could only assume that everything was true, and then Think about what you should do.
If he nods at this moment, he will embark on a completely different path than before. In the words of Raven 12345, it is "working for God." Regardless of whether what the silver-haired woman said is true or false, whether there is a trap in it, and regardless of the future Whether it is a smooth road or a desperate situation, Hao Ren will face a brand new and unimaginable life. His destiny will change, for better or worse.
If he shakes his head at this moment, he will only lose two days of memory and forget some things that ordinary people should not have contact with. Then he can go back and be his own small landlord, or find a serious job and live like other people. A wife who doesn't love each other that much but can make do with her for the rest of her life. She will be like this until her death.
No need to choose.
