Answer a question, say something, and ask a question?
Fan Ning pondered for a moment and then smiled and said: "If I don't answer the last question well, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while, right?"
Mr. Wax raised one palm and then lowered it: "Since it's a question, it's just a question. No matter whether you answer or not, or what you answer, at least for today, you can leave first."
"Then let me answer this question for you first. From the perspective of the Secret History Research Department of the Special Patrol Agency, I will answer it to a limited extent."
"It seems that I haven't informed you of my Q&A needs yet." Fan Ning said in surprise.
"But I know what you want to ask." Mr. Wax said, "How did the helminthologist Scriabin.K.I come to this so-called 'New Calendar' Hoffmann Dynasty? From the guidance of hundreds of years ago
From the members of the school to the current Secret Historian of the Special Inspectorate, what secrets about the origin of family names are buried in them?"
Obviously, the sequencer captured the subtle changes in Fan Ning's expression at this time.
"During this period, some individuals went back and forth and attempted some investigations, including Master Fanning's investigation plan into the Eagles House of Miss Sheeran Corner, including the Bologna School's missing member Joan Nehemiah.
Miss’s series of investigations, however, these people are exploring ‘things that should not be explored’. Due to the protection of the authorities, these detailed historical processes have been slightly interfered with, and you have all deviated from your original destination.”
It turned out to be his secret influence?
Fan Ning not only felt that things were strange and bizarre, but also once again raised his expectations for the ability of this "chief secret historian".
Frontal destructive ability is an important part, but it is not the whole story of the mysterious world.
Sometimes it's not even the main part.
"So all this." Fan Ning did not hide his confusion, frowning deeply, "Okay, you are indeed the helminthologist Scriabin. K.I?. Are you also a time traveler? This name, and the Divine Advent Society
Is there really any connection between the dangerous man, Mr. F, and the composer Scriabin A.N from another world? Logically speaking, the two are limited to the same name, just like most people with the same name in the world. All of this,
Is there any deep entanglement or progressive relationship?”
As Fan Ning slowly expressed the above content, the surrounding background began to become blurred and flat, turning into a low-resolution flat paper screen with a small amount of shadow.
Mr. Wax seemed to think that not even his other colleagues should listen to this conversation.
"The questions in this series of questions are not complicated in themselves, and my explanation will be very brief." Mr. Wax said, "But to ensure that your understanding is based on the correct context, definition or consensus between us, there are
Some prerequisites need to be clarified.”
"Master Fan Ning, do you think so about this world?" He stretched out his palm.
"——Time is a spear thrown in one direction. The past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future;"
"——Space is a ball, or cube, your left is your left, your right is your right, the sky above you is the sky above you, and your rear is your rear;"
"——Music can probably be regarded as the art of time, and art can probably be regarded as the art of space;"
"——The behavior of mortal creatures at a specific time and in a specific space constitutes a historical event. The existence of this world is unique, and the total collection of historical process events is also unique."
"Master Fan Ning, do you think so?" Mr. Wax asked again.
These few confirmation sentences that were similar to "nonsense literature" made Fan Ning fall into long thoughts.
"To be honest, before upgrading to 'New Moon', I would definitely say 'yes'. These are all obvious nonsense without hesitation."
"But now, after experiencing many new mystical experiences, I do doubt. Instead, I am hesitating whether there are any other answers. For example, the intricate secret history constitutes an exception. But it seems useless. I can't grasp it.
Anything substantial, if you say, 'I don't think so,' then what do I think?"
"A knowledgeable person only has the knowledge to distinguish the world into representation and will, but whether it is the waking world or the shifting world, the laws of time, space, and history are the same. Even in bizarre dreams, I still need to rely on counting.
To determine the passage of time by breathing, you also need to define the positional relationships such as front, back, upper level, lower level, etc. The attributes of time, space and history must be like this. It is an axiom. Rather than 'thinking', it is better to say 'seeing'. This is indeed how I see the world.
, I can only look at it this way, what other choice do I have?"
"Do you have any other 'way of seeing'?"
"I don't." Mr. Wax shook his head, "Because I am also a mortal creature."
"you mean?."
"The Lords of Witnesses don't think so. Their way of looking at the world is 'noon'."
"noon?"
"Yes, as you and I know, the basic laws that can summarize the essence of mysticism, the law of implicit knowledge transmission, the law of entanglement of secret history, etc., are also succumbed to and derived from 'wu'."
noon!?!?
A dizzying light struck Fanning's mind.
All kinds of fragmentary images flashed through my mind.
The prophetic meaning of "at noon, the sun sets and the moon rises";
Sitting on the wooden floor of the balcony of Turner Art Hall, thinking about the meaning behind the mysterious paintings;
In the dream of first visiting the Southland, the divergent thoughts caused by the glances from high-altitude celestial bodies
The way of looking at the world is the "world view".
Worldview?
The meaning of "noon" has undergone long and rich changes in history.
So what is the earlier meaning, the meaning that is older than the source of the ancient language?
"What is the specific worldview of 'Wu'?" Fan Ning asked.
"My explanation is over. As I said, it will be brief," Mr. Wax said.
"That's right." Fan Ning was surprised at first, and then understood.
If the meaning of "noon" can be deciphered, then mortal creatures are no longer mortal creatures.
"Continue to be an agnostic, Master Fanning, we will not be willing to include you in the next batch of 'worms' shooting list."
Mr. Wax in the wheelchair covered his mouth and coughed a few times, his hands tightened in his sleeves.
"History is rotting and infesting with worms, and poison will kill you. There are still seven member units of the discussion group three hundred years ago. Since Bologna understood the world view of 'Noon' after being promoted to 'Raven', the two original members of the Kingdom of Lydia
Of the official organizations, one has completely fallen into the rotting worm pile."
"The same name from the 0th history, the non-existent town and former residence, the misplaced surname traces, more than forty aspects and more than three hundred doors mentioned by the investigators of the Abnormal Zone. If others encounter unresolved ambiguous matters
, usually can only be understood as a 'group memory error', at least you now know that it can be attributed to 'noon'."
"So you're an agnostic too?" Fanning asked calmly. "Are Pogorelich an agnostic too?"
"This is the second content today, some words I need to convey to you." Mr. Wax turned the handle of the wheelchair and placed himself at a more comfortable supine angle.
"Mr. Pogorelic is preparing to use the remains of the Origin God to pass through the 'Gate of the Dome'."
"A very clichéd answer, commonly known as 'becoming a god' in the mouths of ignorant people." This time Fan Ning did not have too many emotional fluctuations, "He has risen to the sixth level of order execution, and he is still collecting the remains in a big way. If it were not for the promotion
What else could it be for the selfish interests or ambitions of the Lord of Witness?”
"And you are paving the way for yourself to become a 'torch bearer' or even a 'father'?" Mr. Wax asked in return.
Fan Ning remained unconvinced and silent.
"Ambition. Maybe." Mr. Wax laughed a few times, "Climbing to the top on the mysterious side is cliché, but climbing on the art side is not cliché. It is selfish to be promoted to the Lord of Witness and become the 'torch bearer'
' or 'Father' is public-minded."
"At least if I were the 'Torch Bearer', I would not interfere with who can become the 'Forged Lion' or the 'Crescent Moon'." Fan Ning chuckled.
Mr. Wax, however, did not pay attention to the thorny meaning of the other party's words and had no intention of further explanation.
"Master Fan Ning, you are very arrogant, arrogant and conceited. You have some prejudices against the system. Your style of acting often switches between choleric and melancholic personalities without warning. But you are a talented young man. This is normal. The authorities
I will respond to your behavior with a friendly smile and an understanding attitude. Mr. Pogorelic has been paying close attention to you recently."
"I hope you can understand the true meaning of 'mutual achievement'." He gestured behind him with his hand, and pointed at Fan Ning, "The leader is about to reach the top, and he also needs a person to reach the top from another mountain. This time
It's up to him to decide, and you're one of the top contenders."
"You can deceive other people with these words, but not me." Fan Ning said, "Unfortunately, I know that promotion to the Lord of Witness requires mastering a complete copy of Pleroma and the seventh-level 'grid'.
So I don’t need to explain what the so-called ‘mutual achievement’ means.”
"Huh?" Mr. Wax was a little surprised, "Hahahaha."
"Why are you laughing?" Fan Ning frowned.
"Master Fanning, you don't think that when Mr. Pogorelic said he needs someone to reach the top of the 'torch bearer' or 'father', he means coveting your 'qualification'? Hahahaha. Sure enough, every station
People before history were as naive as children."
"Otherwise? Rely on your leader's own artistic attainments?"
"Master Fan Ning, have you ever thought about this question - do all the witnesses 'understand' art?"
Fan Ning's expression was startled.
"In the New Calendar, more than one mortal creature passed through the 'Gate of the Dome' and experienced the feeling of looking at the world from the 'noon' way. Haha. However, the situation is a bit unfortunate. The promotions constructed by these Origin Gods themselves
The rituals, or at least some flaws, cause them to seem to live in endless pain and madness."
"Of course, the situation at high places may be more complicated and have a more dangerous nature. Concepts that should not exist are driving all the witnesses - not just the God of Origin - to a state of madness.
The spread of abnormal areas and the proliferation of 'worms' may just be the manifestation of all this in the lower world. Based on the above reasons, the leader decided to go up and see for himself and open up a path with his own 'power to break the situation', which requires a stable rule
Order is a prerequisite, and an obedient artistic climber is needed to serve as a necessary assistant in the process."
"It sounds like it means 'saving the world.'" Fan Ning secretly digested the information and touched the statue of "Saint James the Light-Summer" that he had worn around his neck for a while. "Interestingly, some organizations in the Abnormal Zone
, some dangerous elements seem to be acting with similar arguments."
“Once something is too noble, its authenticity will be compromised.” Mr. Wax emphasized seriously, “Mr. Pogorelic’s main motivation is because the spread of abnormal areas threatens the authority’s ruling order, and
His leadership."
"Master Fan Ning, coming back to you, you must have a lot of development ideas for Turner Art Hall and yourself. I will teach you a way to grasp the sense of boundaries-"
"Fame and wealth are all yours. One day, you will rise higher, and your honor and wealth will be among the top. What the authorities care about is the 'right to evaluate' and 'right to distribute' art."
".In the era of mysterious and barbaric growth, there were many powerful gangs, and the knowledgeable people pursued taboos and rare treasures, explored and killed, liquidated and were liquidated. Now it is different. Industrial civilization has taken over the mainstream, and order has been initially established.
Personal whims are insignificant in front of the organization, and the authorities’ attention is everywhere, which is both a kind of supervision and a kind of protection.”
"That's all I have to tell you. The last question is a question to you on behalf of the organization. Please think carefully because answering it is a serious matter and will attract the attention of many people and usher in a long-term discussion group.
"review"
Mr. Wax waved his hand when he said this.
The blurred background was filled in, everything in the glass room was restored to its normal appearance, with Lasus, Owen and Salman sitting on both sides of him.
"Master Fan Ning, do you agree with the phrase 'mysterious leadership art'?"
"."
"."
Four pairs of eyes were watching Fan Ning. He had a calm expression and said nothing, as if he was trying to figure out the meaning and organize his own words.
But Mr. Wax had already rocked his wheelchair and slowly drove towards the door of the glass room:
"Lasus, see the guest off."
"As I said before, after I asked the question, Master Fan Ning should leave."
Owen and Salman both had expressions of astonishment, asking "Is this the end?", but Lassus had a calm expression and stood up after the order.
"Don't bother, I'll go out by myself." Fan Ning also stood up.
"Master, please come this way." Lasus still carried out his superior's instructions and led the way politely.
When he reached the elevator door, Fan Ning asked again: "I wonder what the authorities' time limit is for answering this question?"
Somewhere on the edge of the rooftop, Mr. Wax's wheelchair stopped here. He was blowing the cold wind and overlooking the thousands of lights of Santalan Fort:
"You don't have to answer this question, because every move you make in the future will gradually form an answer."
