Alien Hotel

Yu Sheng's question made Baili Qing immediately raise her eyebrows slightly, although the movement was very small.

"Of course there is only one junction," Baili Qing said. "'The junction of the world' is not something that can be mass-produced."

"I'm talking about the 'boundary city'," Yu Sheng said with a serious face. "There is only one junction, so what about the 'boundary city'? Is it possible that there is another city similar to it in the world that is located at the junction? City?"

He paused, looked into Baili Qing's eyes, and said slowly: "They are very similar, but not that similar. They all have the same name. There are some places with the same name, but they are not as 'extraordinary' as here. , but just an ordinary place.... If this world has an observable scale of tens of billions of light-years or even wider, is it possible that such a city that matches my description could exist within such a huge range? "

I don't know if it was Yu Sheng's illusion, but when she heard this, the expression on Baili Qing's face became strangely serious.

The "director" was silent for several seconds before he spoke carefully: "As for your "conjecture" - let me call it a conjecture, scholars actually have a hypothesis. This hypothesis is this:

“If the space scale and time scale of the entire universe are infinite, or at least in a statistical sense, they are nearly infinite within the scope of human imagination and assumptions, then it is possible that there will be two identical or highly similar objects in the universe. Location, two planets with highly similar parameters, two similar mountain peaks, or even... two very similar histories, the probability of such a 'mirror image' appearing may not be high, but under sufficient time and space scales, Never zero."

Yu Sheng thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "I seem to have heard similar theories..."

"Then let me tell you a limitation of this hypothesis - that is the non-public part of it," Bailiqing said, "that is, even if the hypothesis is established, even if any place and event in the universe is possible in infinite time, There are 'mirrors' in space, except for two places where there are no mirrors.

"The first is a planet called 'Terra'. It is located deep in the stars and is far away from here, but there are some secret 'connections' to the junction. "The second is this junction.

"In other words, there will not be a second 'boundary city' in this world, because this city is the main component of the junction, and the junction itself... does not have a 'mirror', even in the space of the universe Boundless, infinite time, from the past to the future, there will only be this 'junction', this 'boundary city'. "

Yu Sheng opened his eyes slightly and didn't speak for a long time.

"Look at your reaction..." Baili Qing adjusted her sitting position, "You are almost sure that there is another 'boundary city' in this world - have you even seen it?" Yu Sheng forced to suppress the turbulent thoughts in his heart. , he took a deep breath and slowly tapped the table in front of him with his fingers.

"Yes, I have seen it. It is a small seaside town. It only takes thirty minutes to drive from the southernmost edge of the city to the northernmost edge. There is nothing 'exotic' there, and there is no Secret Service. People live a very ordinary life. Life, sunshine... The sunshine is always nice, soft, not dazzling to the eyes, and the sunset is also very beautiful...

Yu Sheng described the scenes in his memory to the woman in front of him.

He did not hide this. Under the premise that the other party already knew the truth about No. 66 Wutong Road, and that he was specifically responsible for managing affairs related to "foreign lands", this "director" seemed to be the most likely person he could contact now. You can help your own people.

Baili Qing listened to these descriptions quietly. Her colorless eyes seemed to always be able to hide her truest emotional fluctuations. No one could tell what she was thinking when she heard these descriptions. Only After Yu Sheng finished speaking, she suddenly said: "Can I take a look?"

Yu Sheng was startled: "See? How do you see it?"

The woman opposite stretched out her hand and pressed it on his temple. Along with the cold touch, there was also a moment of trance.

"This is my ability - if you don't mind, just open your imagination to me temporarily. Of course, if you are worried, I will definitely not force it." Baili Qing said seriously.

Yu Sheng frowned, and after quickly weighing it, he nodded lightly.

Closing his eyes slightly, he imagined what his hometown, "another boundary city" looked like in his memories.

The ordinary seaside town appeared in his mind, and then he felt as if there was another pair of eyes watching the imaginary scenery along with his memories.

After a while, Yu Sheng opened his eyes.

He found that Baili Qing opposite her still had her eyes closed, and behind her, the infinitely extending cafe was silently collapsing from far to near. Those neatly arranged and endlessly repeated tables and chairs were quickly swallowed up by the darkness, and the collapsed It is as if the architectural structure has dropped into an invisible abyss.

Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment and didn't know what was going on: "Hey! This place has collapsed! Hey, wake up! This..." He was just halfway through speaking when Baili Qing finally opened her eyes: "It doesn't matter. It's just a little aftereffect of activating the ability." As he spoke, the collapsed building, tables and chairs in the distance quietly returned to their original state.

Yu Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and smiled twice: "Oh, your ability is quite... cool." Baili Qing didn't speak, just rubbed her forehead gently, as if thinking about something.

"Have you seen it all?" Yu Sheng asked curiously, "What about that, do you think..."

"I saw it, it was exactly what you said, a... peaceful seaside town, with the shadow of this city in many places," Baili Qing interrupted Yu Sheng's words. For some reason, when she spoke There was some hesitation, but this hesitation was quickly covered up, "I now believe that you have indeed seen such a 'boundary city', but I am curious, why are you obsessed with this 'place'?"

"For some personal reasons, I want to find it," Yu Sheng said seriously, "But according to your words..."

"A theory is a theory after all." Bailiqing shook her head. Her attitude was suddenly not as certain as at first, but her words had a lot more room for twists and turns. "In fact, I still don't think there is a third party in the world." The two are at the junction of two places, but it’s not completely impossible if a certain place happens to be somewhat similar in architecture and layout to this city.”

Yu Sheng looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously: "...Really?"

"Who knows?" Baili Qing breathed out, "Some scholars have said that our universe is still very young, and some new physical laws have not even had time to be born.

Therefore, all cognitions about this world based on the human perspective may be wrong, or will be overturned one day in the future. I now believe that the 'boundary city' you let me see is real. , it’s just that... it’s not even included in the files of the junction. "

"Then if one day you find it...

"You will be the first to know." Baili Qing nodded seriously. Yu Sheng thanked him.

But he didn't believe it too much, because intuitively, he always felt that the woman in front of him was not so "sincere" in this matter. He didn't know where this feeling came from, but he decided not to continue on the topic.

"I have another question," Yu Sheng quickly changed the topic, "I'm asking for a friend of mine." Baili Qing nodded: "Ask, I have a lot of time today."

Yu Sheng thought for a while and organized his words: "About 'Alice's Cabin', does your Secret Service know about this organization?"

"Alice's cabin? Of course you know," Baili Qing replied immediately, "Those 'living dolls' are active in the supernatural realm and have had many interactions with us. "

Yu Sheng's heart moved, and he felt that he had finally found an organization for the little dolls: "You mean 'Alice's dolls'?" So this ‘cabin’ is also registered with the Secret Service?”

"No, you made a mistake," Baili Qing shook her head. "Alice's House is not something 'registered with the Secret Service' - it is an independent force located outside the border area. Although They are very low-key, but their influence is actually no less than that of the Secret Service.”

Yu Sheng: "...?"

"There is not only 'The Junction' as a special place in this world, nor is there only one big organization like the 'Secret Service'. We are just one of the many official organizations that deal with foreign lands and entities. In addition to us, there is also Bamo The 'Bamosa Hermits' founded by the Sa people, the 'Academy' and the 'Archaeological Association' from Terra ', the 'Astrological Association' of the Algrade people, etc., etc., the 'Alice House' you just mentioned is also a similar independent force - they follow an ancient Holy Spirit called 'Alice' , are ancient creations directly blessed by the ancient Holy Spirit. Their active age... is even earlier than that of the Secret Service. "

Yu Sheng: "..."

Why is that guy Irene so powerful? ! Daqing dolls are usually not bragging!

Yu Sheng did not hide the change in his expression, and Baili Qing quickly saw something: "I remember that the report mentioned that there is a 'doll' beside you?" "Yes, her name is Irene. He claims to be one of the "Alice's Dolls", but was accidentally sealed away for a long time. "

"But I remember the report also mentioned that she was only this tall...

Baili Qing said, raising her hand to indicate the height next to the table.

Yu Sheng touched the tip of his nose awkwardly: "Ah, then this is another accident..."
