Stray Chapter 103: I, Qin Shi Huang, make money

   The first thing that needs to be clarified is that Xia Ran has absolutely no parallel existence outside, or a different time-space equivalent that is not bound or controlled by him.

   This is a definite fact.

   After all, the law and characteristics of the second magic have locked this result at the conceptual level. From the day when he achieved the realm of magic, he is the only existence in all worlds. Whether he eats the parallel world theory depends only on his own will. ...

   So he can more or less guess the existence of the "Xia Ran" that seems to replace him. It is estimated that he has integrated all aspects with himself and gathered infinite parallel existences, resulting in all his differences. The phenomenon of space-time peers disappearing from an infinite world line.

  Because magic is an absolute miracle, belonging to the mystery of different dimensions.

   transcends the laws of the world, just like the laws of gods from outside the sky, using completely different laws and breaking through completely different limits... Therefore, after Xia Ran restrains all parallel existences, all "he and me" "It should have disappeared from the other world lines at the moment when the second magic was activated.

   For those worlds, this phenomenon does not mean that there was a simple disappearance of a person who suddenly evaporated from the world at a certain point of time and can no longer be found, but that there is no trace left directly. and records, as if they never existed.

   But in this case, there will inevitably be contradictions and conflicts at the level of causal logic. After all, a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest in South America may cause Dirk in the United States two weeks later. A tornado in SARS, let alone a person?

  Maybe Xia Ran's different time and space counterparts in other worlds are themselves ordinary people, and they are insignificant to society or history, but this does not mean that his existence is optional of.

   suddenly disappears from the world without leaving any traces and records, then the things that have been done, the intersection with other people or things, and the impact on the world will appear blank that cannot be explained... The influence expands the scale of the chain reaction step by step according to the butterfly effect, and eventually the entire historical process will change accordingly.

  If Xia Ran is like a gem man, although he can travel through different parallel time and space, but in fact has always been active in the same world, then this situation can also refer to the state of gem man, even if he is not in a certain world In the line, but for the closed system of the world itself, he has always existed in it...

   But Xia Ran is not, and the second magic can also begin to affect other dimensions outside the realm, so under the premise of the only law characteristic of all realms, the "he" in the world who is not selected "It really disappeared completely.

  So

   It is very likely that there is a directional correction force activated, the world line is constricted, and logical corrections have been made to the influence and distortion caused by the sword of Akashic, to "circle" the destroyed record.

  …

  …

   At dusk, the bell rang through the campus.

   After a short while, the crowd of students rushed out of the teaching building and rushed towards the main entrance of the school like a torrent.

  In the corridor outside the classroom, a tall, tall, straight black girl with long straight hair was lying on the railing, weakly facing the afterglow of the setting sun, watching from the teaching building to the school gate Crowds of people between.

   This is a phenomenon that happens at the end of every month. She is used to it, because this high school is a boarding school, and there is only one vacation on the last weekend of every month… ...of course, it's not really a "vacation" at all, it's just a "weight training" once a month.

  Because it is only after 5 o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, students are allowed to leave school and go home, and then on Sunday, that is, before 8 o'clock in the morning, they must report back to school... It is simply to let students go home The nature of sleeping in there is nothing more than a vacation.

  If that's the case, that's all. The most terrible thing is that teachers will seize this rare long vacation and assign a lot of homework to students

  The teachers of each subject are very considerate, and they all feel that they have little homework. After the students go home, they can easily complete it in two hours before going to bed at night. This is the case for nine subjects. , is really an old time management guru, so the students have ridiculed that this is a monthly weight training.

   Xia Ran did not live in the school. Because her home was near the school, she applied for day school and did not live on campus.

  She is able to go home after school every day, and now she is naturally not in the same urgency as other students, and she does not want to squeeze with everyone...

  "Sure enough, there is still a big difference..."

   At this time, there was a soft sigh, which sounded very abruptly next to it, and the girl was immediately startled.

  She straightened up from the railing, turned her head, and found a figure standing beside her, watching her quietly.

   Monk?

How did    enter the school?

   After seeing the appearance of the other party, Xia Ran first stayed for a while. The other party was a young man, and he was also a monk. The black cassocks on his body were obvious enough... But, this one is too good-looking. Bar? She has never seen such a good-looking person before, even her temperament is so good.

A little brother like    actually became a monk? What do you think, it's too wasteful, right?

   looked up and down at the girl in front of him, Xia Ran's mood has recovered, and some distracting thoughts have been cut off directly, and there are no ripples in the heart lake. If he was still guessing before, then now he Just really sure.

   is like the "torch" in "Bright Eyes Shana", as a substitute for the non-existent person who suddenly disappeared, to ease the distortion of the world and replace the existence of the disappeared person. However, it is not really as cruel as the fate of "torch".

   At least for the girl in front of him, he will not disappear inexplicably, nor will he say that his sense of existence is getting weaker and weaker, and finally disappears completely without leaving a trace.

   She will continue to exist, no different from a real natural person...

   As for why she is such a girl? It's a very simple truth, since he wants to replace the existence of the different time-space equivalent that he disappeared, then it can't be said that a whole new person is created to fill the blank.

  Because it was Xia Ran who disappeared, and a series of "records" of her life that changed with it, so it was this specific part that needed to be corrected.

   But the problem is that the passive effect of the second magic is not over, but continues to be activated. Once the correction force really fully reproduces another Xia Ran, then it will inevitably be unified again. Disappearing from the world line again...

   Therefore, the world correction power cannot truly reproduce Xia Ran's different time and space counterpart, and can only create a highly similar but absolutely different reversed individual.

   "Who are you?" The girl looked at him with some vigilance, her eyes were somewhat sharp, "Let me tell you first, religious people are not allowed to promote religious ideas in schools, you'd better leave as soon as possible... "

  "Well, how do you know that I came to school to promote religious ideas? Could it be something else?"

  Xia Ran restrained her thoughts, smiled calmly, and asked rhetorically as if she was interested.

   He doesn't have much impression of this school, because as he just said, the process in this world line and his experience in the main world are still quite different after all, not only the The existence of the girl in front of her, and some differences that can be seen after she takes the place.

   For example, this girl is already in her second year of high school.

   And the former Xia Ran, in this year, didn't even go to junior high school...

  The other thing is that this girl obviously doesn't have any health problems, at least it doesn't look like the kind of person who is often tortured by the endless cycle of nightmares. Unless she has also awakened, become lost...

   Of course this is impossible.

  "Isn't it?" The girl curled her lips, "A monk ran into the school, wouldn't you be prepared to say that you are here to pick up your child? Anyway, I don't believe this statement..."

   "That's not true, but why do you decide that it's impossible?" Xia Ran blinked her eyes and didn't pretend, neither calling herself a monk, nor chanting sutras or chanting Buddhist scriptures. Unlike before, she tried her best to behave as best she could. It must be like the style of his current identity.

  "Aren't you a monk? A serious monk can't get married, right?"

  Xia Ran looked up and down at the young monk in front of her, a little puzzled.

   This person's words and deeds don't seem to have the demeanor that a monk should have, but the pure temperament on his body makes him not need to deliberately affect his speech, posture, words and deeds. , is more credible than the monks in his own impression.

   There is no reason to believe that this young man is indeed an eminent monk who has attained enlightenment through meditation. In the novel, he is a character like a true Buddha who wants to achieve supreme Bodhi in this life.

   "It's true that serious monks can't get married... So what?" Xia Ran nodded and continued to ask.

  "Are you pretending to be stupid? Master." The girl suddenly became angry, "Since monks can't get married, how can they have children?"

   If you have a child first and then become a monk, it is not unreasonable. But the person in front of her is obviously not a few years older than her, no matter how you think about it, there is no such possibility.

   "You're getting married now. Does it have anything to do with whether you get married or not?" The young monk smiled slightly, his eyes were clear, pure and natural, and there was a faint hint of a Buddha's smile. .

   is what he said, not only is it not a profound Buddhist theory, but it also means something quite rude.

  “…”

  “…”

  Xia Ran's mouth twitched a few times, and her eyes became more suspicious: "You...are you really a Buddhist practitioner?"

   looks like a fake monk.

   So what does a fake monk like that run into the school for? And why do you want to talk to yourself specifically?

   "It depends on the needs. I can also be a Taoist priest or a magician, and I will be treated specially in special circumstances." The young monk thought for a while and gave such an absolutely unreliable answer, "But for now, now The "I" of the man is indeed a person who cultivates Buddhism. "

   He is a Buddha, he only cultivates himself, and has nothing to do with Buddhism.

   "I don't see it at all, and Master, is your belief so unstable? I won't say Taoist priest, what the **** is a magician..." Xia Ran suddenly burst into laughter and couldn't help complaining. A sentence, and at the same time a little surprised.

   This monk seems to have a strange affinity, which makes her feel that the other party is very close and trustworthy. Even if it is now vaguely certain that the other party is coming for her, she still does not feel nervous.

  "Monks do not slander..."

   "Alright, alright, stop pretending to be a monk, tell me, what's the matter with you coming to me?" The girl gently used her slender white fingers to wrap the black hair that fell on her shoulders, A pair of dark eyes stared at him curiously.

   She was also thinking subconsciously in her mind. Could it be that the other party knew her, was she a former classmate or friend? Middle school or elementary school?

   For help, you can steal book tickets like stealing vegetables. Come and steal your friends’ book tickets and vote for my book.

   But I don't really have any impression at all. Although I feel that the other party is inexplicably familiar, I can't remember anything... Well, if I think about it another way, could it be a relative at home or something? Parents want to get to know them personally, and maybe my mother's phone will call later.

   "Let me ask you a question first, how did you feel when you were just above this place, looking at the crowd below?" The young monk pondered for a while, but instead of answering directly, he asked an inexplicable question.

   Are you ready to play a Zen machine at this time?

   "...It's like she's herding sheep." Xia Ran gave him a strange look, but she was also interested and wanted to see what the other party was going to say, so she looked downstairs, which had become sparse The sparse crowd, after recalling it for a while, couldn't help but complain.

   Of course she couldn't have any deep philosophical insights because of this kind of thing, the only feeling was indeed this.

   "Yes, it's like a flock of sheep, or to put it more simply, a group of rabble..." Xia Ran nodded in agreement, "Actually, not only in this school, but also outsiders are all the same. Animals are like this, and people are not necessarily more intelligent."

   "What do you want to say?" The girl frowned.

   "The flock is a very scattered organization. Usually they are blindly rushing left and right when they are together, but once one sheep moves, the other sheep will rush up without thinking, completely ignoring the possible wolves and better grass not far away..."

   "The herd effect? ​​Is this what you want to tell me?" Xia Ran looked confused, what was going on with this person.

   She naturally knows the theory, which means that people have a kind of conformity mentality, which easily leads to blind obedience, and as a result, they often fall into scams or fail.

  Because the most important factor affecting conformity is the number of people who hold a certain opinion. The number of people is persuasive in itself. Few people will insist on their different opinions despite unanimous opinions.

   "That's right, so a rumor can become a recognized fact through newspapers, an opinion can become a truth through TV, and all political maneuvering is using the herd effect." The young monk nodded calmly, "You What they see is what they want you to see, only the behavior of being used and directed by the flock..."

   "Let me guess, are you going to tell me a shocking conspiracy theory or something?" The girl felt both irritated and funny, is this some kind of novel deception that has just come out recently?

   "This world... is going to be destroyed." Xia Ran didn't care, and still said very calmly, "But since I'm here, there is naturally a chance of life. Since some people are using the herd effect to deceive the masses, Ready to sacrifice you people, then we can naturally turn around and take the initiative to save the world in our hands.”

  If someone is willing to cooperate, then he can provide a more secure way to save the world, even without the people in this world shattering the three views.

   But since he wants to choose an agent, he naturally prefers to choose the girl in front of him, instead of going to other people or forces, accompany them to play a show of intrigue and wits, and try his best to eliminate them. Doubts, go to great lengths to gain their trust or something...

   "Stop, stop! You'd better be direct, don't go around in circles, just say what you want to do? Everyone should be sincere, isn't that bad?" Xia Ran felt a little headache, so she raised her hand to do it With a stop gesture, he said so.

  "Alright, then I'll just say it"

   The young monk seemed to think for a moment, then nodded.

   "I am a person from another world. I have traveled to this world and accidentally discovered the great crisis that your world is about to encounter, so I want to help you. If you are willing to cooperate with my plan, I will help you. Be a savior..."

  “…”

  “…”

  "I thought it was some kind of novel trick, but it turned out to be this one, please, it's already been made into a joke, okay!"

  The girl looked at him with a strange look: "Last year, there was a Qin Shihuang who asked me to pay him 3,000 yuan to help him get through the difficulties and regain control of the world, and let me wait at home. I'm here to be the prime minister, but I haven't sent troops yet..."

   (PS: The plan has changed, the departure is postponed)
