Hao Ren sat motionless on the chair with his hands on his knees. His expression was particularly solemn. He realized that he was facing a situation beyond human understanding. If he wanted to enjoy the rest of his life smoothly, the wisest choice was to rein in his usual lazy and sloppy style and listen carefully to the woman who called herself God.
"How does it feel to experience the Founding Era?" Raven 12345 glanced at Hao Ren with a smile.
Hao Ren observed Raven 12345's expression and confirmed that the woman was indeed easy to talk to. He then grinned awkwardly and said, "If I were to ask you if this is an illusion … Would you kill me while you're at it?"
"No, because many people have asked you this question. I am not surprised at all." Raven 12345 shrugged. "I will continue to bring you to see more things until you fully understand and believe what I am telling you. But not now. Now you just need to take what I said seriously, and then we can talk about work. "
Hao Ren raised his hand to signal her to stop. He needed time to sort out what had happened.
He thought that the bizarre events he had experienced were only on Earth, but the woman in front of him actually claimed that she came from... another world? Not Earth, not an alien planet, not an alien galaxy, but another universe! She claimed that she came from an empire that ruled the multiverse, and she worked in a unit called the Space Administration, which was responsible for managing the order of the universe. Now this woman, who called herself God, said that she needed an agent to deal with the trivial matters on Earth, so she looked for Hao Ren...
From the beginning to the end, things were like this. There was nothing difficult to understand in the language, but it was a little challenging.
Hao Ren stole a glance at Raven 12345. The latter seemed to have sensed it, but she did not say anything. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hao Ren began to compare the silver-haired woman in front of him with the images of gods and fairies in his mind, such as adding wings on her back or adding a halo behind her head... But after a while, he gave up. He knew it was a waste of time. From the moment he met the werewolf who was afraid of cats, he should have thrown all the legends on Earth down the drain.
"There really are other universes?" Hao Ren looked at Raven 12345 expectantly. "I've read about it in a book. Parallel universe or something. Is this the theory?"
"It's much more complicated than that. The structure of the real Macro World is much more complicated than what humans can imagine." Raven 12345 pursed her lips and seemed to be too lazy to explain. "You won't be able to get in touch with the things of other worlds for now. That will only happen after you become a formal worker or after you receive a special mission. The most important thing for you to do now is to take care of your own business … "
"Why me?" Hao Ren could not help but interrupt her. He felt that he had to take the initiative. Even if he could not beat her in a fight, he should at least try to talk tough. "You didn't ask for my permission, did you?"
"Oh right, I forgot about that." Raven 12345 suddenly slapped her forehead. This made Hao Ren break out in a cold sweat. "The principle of voluntary work. There is indeed such a principle … I've been assuming that you agreed. So you're not willing? "
Hao Ren was stunned. He did not expect the other party to be so lenient. This was different from the mysterious force he had imagined. He thought that if he refused to cooperate, he would be silenced. But after Raven 12345 gave him such a lenient condition, he hesitated. What should he do? Should he really refuse? It felt a bit of a pity... It felt like his novel life was going to die before it even began.
"What if I don't agree?"
"Your memory of the past two days will be erased. I will also be responsible for taking the werewolf away. Don't worry, I won't hurt you or the werewolf. It's just that you will no longer have anything to do with these things that you shouldn't be in contact with. Ordinary people have ordinary lives. Since ancient times, ordinary people who came into contact with extraordinary things died miserably, "Raven 12345 explained calmly." I will find another agent. Anyway, there are many people on Earth. If it doesn't work, I can also apply for an intern to be my assistant. "
Hao Ren felt his heart tighten. An inexplicable feeling filled him. Then he shook his head. "What if I agree? What do you want me to do? Let me say this first. I won't do anything that goes against morality. I'm a good person. "
The corner of Raven 12345's mouth curled up slightly. "Don't be so nervous. You're working for the Protoss. In other pantheons, this position is even called 'Son of God' or 'Agent'. It's just that our system is special, so we don't call it that. What are you worried about? I won't ask you to do anything bad. Your tasks are mainly two. First, receive some tenants, just like you did before. However, these tenants will be a little special. They need help, a place to settle down, and someone to guide them. You have to receive and take care of them so that they won't harm the human world. Second, help me deal with other work. "
Hao Ren was speechless. Instinctively, he felt that the second task was the key!
"The tenants you're talking about are like Lily, right?" Hao Ren tried to understand more. Although this would not give him the initiative, at least it would prevent him from being cheated. "'Otherworldlings'? Can I ask why you're doing this? Just because you don't want them to destroy the human world? "
"In fact, the reason is very complicated." Raven 12345 was very patient. "Any civilization, unless they encounter some kind of catastrophe or other serious situation that requires the help of the gods, they have the right to evolve naturally without interference. I know the myths and legends of you humans, but the real gods are not the same as your legends. We create the world, manage the world, and also destroy the world. But all of these have strict rules and regulations. No one can interfere with and destroy the activities of mortals at will. Before we changed to become the Protoss, we made a lot of mistakes in this regard, so now this is a very serious problem. Your world is the same: human civilization should evolve naturally without external interference. It's no problem for you to encounter some twists and turns in your development, but if a third party tries to use artificial means to distort the evolution process of human beings, I'm obliged to help you stop it. As for your task … it's to clean up the 'aftermath'. "
Hao Ren struggled to understand Raven 12345's words. He seemed to vaguely grasp something. "You said there's a … 'third party' trying to interfere with the development of human beings?! Lily … and the tenants I'm going to receive in the future are all related to this interference? "
"Don't think too much about it. That was a long time ago. I've already dealt with the biggest wave of impact. You humans are very safe now. As long as you don't look for trouble, you can live until you die." Raven 12345 looked into Hao Ren's eyes. "As for the tenants you're going to receive … it's indeed related to a big event, but it's still a secret for you. Don't ask too much. So, are you willing to do this? Although it's just helping the Space Administration to clean up the mess, to be honest, this is an enviable job in many worlds. It's more or less the treatment of a temporary employee in an enterprise or institution … "
Hao Ren said, "… Now that you mention it, I dare not say yes!"
Raven 12345 looked up to the sky and laughed. She did not care at all.
Hao Ren lowered his head and tried to think about this question that could change his life.
He still did not dare to fully believe the woman in front of him, and he could not understand what the so-called multiverse, gods, and macro worlds were. Just as Raven 12345 said, at this stage, he could only assume that everything was true, and then think about what he should do.
If he nodded at this moment, he would embark on a completely different path from the past. In Raven 12345's words, he would be "working for God". Whether what the silver-haired woman said was true or not, whether there was a trap or not, whether the future was smooth or hopeless, Hao Ren would face a new, unimaginable life. His fate would change, for better or worse.
If he shook his head at this moment, he would only lose two days of memory, forget some things that should not be touched by ordinary people, and then go back to being his own little landlord, or find a proper job to pass the time like everyone else, or find a wife who did not love him that much but could live with him for the rest of his life.
There was no need to choose.
