"Father of Existentialism" Soren Kierkegaard once said that "blind pursuit of happiness" and "grasp of individual freedom" are completely opposite.Pursuing only the ease of life will not allow people to gain the perception of "freedom", "infinity" and "limitation", that is, "infinite possibilities".We also cannot truly pursue life.

On the morning of the fifth day in Fuyuki City, I received a courier box in my room, which contained a mobile phone and a blank piece of paper.The mobile phone is the same as the one I got from the Matou family before, with the same four-digit password, and the same only one photo, with those two inexplicable reminders written on it.

But, from that scrap of paper, I pretty much know why I'm here.

This piece of paper comes from the "book" - the legendary treasure in Yokohama that can grant all wishes. This is an item kept by the Supernatural Secret Service Division.Four years ago, when I came to Yokohama, I came into contact with this book as an investigator of the Supernatural Secret Service Division and did some experiments.

It can indeed achieve miraculous wishes, but it actually has many shortcomings.Here I just talk about two shortcomings that can deceive people.

First, it has a rule called "The specific content of the writing cannot be known by a third person, otherwise the world line will collapse."

Second, while users will retain the memory of the written content, some people will actually feel out of place with the "reality of writing". reality is not "real".

I used to use "books" to erase my past.Those people who left traces in my life will indeed never exist again, but just when I thought this was starting a new life, the more familiar people who used to be with me, the easier it would be to find the unnatural things in me, and these Neither can be explained.

Therefore, the so-called "book" is actually a pile of waste paper.So how to fix the holes created by these books?

In the summer of two years ago, I participated in Dr. Nakabachi's commemorative presentation of the "Invention of the Time Machine" at the Tokyo Broadcasting System.It was actually a presentation of old wine in new bottles.

Since Einstein proposed the "Theory of Relativity" in 1905, "time travel" has become a topic among scientists.According to current physics, it is theoretically impossible to go back in time.Even the technology of Academy City has no way to make the time of an object surpass or delay more than a few milliseconds relative to other objects. The theoretical support of theoretical physics for time machines is only "quantum mechanics" or "wormholes".

Therefore, the published arguments about the "time machine" that appear now are basically citing the ideas of the predecessors repeatedly and summarizing and deducting them.

To be more realistic, that is, if Dr. Nakabachi's so-called "time machine results" with practical significance are published, the world should be the first to be shocked, not the broadcasting hall rented by Tokyo City.

Sure enough, the theory put forward by the doctor is basically a tribute to the argument of John Tito, the "time traveler" who was active on the Internet message boards during the millennium.And there were very few people participating, but when I passed by, I realized a problem.

Instead of blindly relying on the power of unknown systems, why don't I make a time machine myself.After all, I was born in Academy City, the "City of Science and Technology". In such a city, if there is no way to become a supernatural being, there is only the last way to reach the top of the city——the road of scientific research.

So I am familiar with the basic theoretical knowledge and experimental exercises.But the problem is that after I left Academy City, I designed and destroyed Academy City's altitude calculation computer - "Dendrogram Design" on the outer space satellite of the earth.This move can delay the development of the academy's urban scientific research for more than two years.Because it was the main tool for the prediction calculation of the entire Academy City experiment before the "tree diagram designer" was blown up.

In this case, making a time machine will naturally bring me a lot of difficulty.However, there I met a young man - "Rintaro Okabe", a first-year student at Tokyo Denki University.He said he was able to send messages into the past using his cell phone.

So I took the initiative to approach him and developed a mobile phone with the same performance.But there is another problem here. When the timeline jumps, I don't have the memory that can inherit multiple worlds like Rintaro Okabe.Whenever a point in time changes, I cannot perceive it myself.

Here, either Rintaro Okabe needs to send text messages instead of me, and after changing the timeline, he tells me what has changed; or I use "books" to help me remember.

I rarely trust outsiders.Because there are too many unknowns and unreliability in them, I will naturally choose the latter.But if I just use the "book" to position me as someone who can always figure out the world line, sometimes it may not be a good thing for me to be too clear about what is going on around me.

After the timeline jumping experiment caused the butterfly effect I expected to be successful, I discovered another thing, that is-I will cause people I know to die continuously.This is the same problem that Rintaro Okabe encountered when using the time machine.

But my approach is different from his.He is constantly withdrawing the text messages that have changed the world line, and I am constantly changing the timeline with new text messages to achieve my own purpose, as long as I always remember.

I already knew about the meeting between Fuyuki City and Matou from the pages of the "book".In the beginning, in order to realize the current arrangement, I assigned the things I should do to the characters who would not affect the world line I changed.

Take a very simple example.

If I change what happened to "A" in City A, then "B" in other cities will not necessarily be affected by the world line I changed, then "B" can be used by me.

According to the memory given to me by the "book", this is the third time I have come to Fuyuki City.The reason why I looked at Tong Yanye in the middle to assist me was because he was more valuable than others.As a magician, he also has the ability to inherit memory that I can't understand. He will lead me to join the Holy Grail War, and I can also use him to give me the results of the Holy Grail War.

Because his wish was simple from beginning to end - "protect Sakura".The reason for protecting Sakura is that he is not capable enough, and Sakura cannot inherit the magic circuit of the Tohsaka family, so I just need to find a way to give Sakura the ability to protect herself.

The Command Seals of the Holy Grail War have magical powers. Except for the Master, only the Church will take over the Command Seals.And the church will not let ordinary people approach the church casually, especially in the Holy Grail War, it is impossible to sneak into the church as a volunteer.So, what else is there to do?

——"Training Priest".

It would be strange for a church that has signed an internship contract with the school to refuse students to participate in church internships, so it will accept apprentice priests.

What should I do if I want to become a trainee priest?Based on this kind of thinking, I decided what I should do two years ago.Besides that, I did a lot of other things.

My first text message to change the past was sent to myself. Now that I have come to the present, I have involved more people than I imagined, so I have no reason and no need to change and cancel the text message.

Use the time machine to prevent "the Holy Grail from being polluted", and then use the "command spell of one arm" in exchange for "the right to use the Holy Grail" to deal with the negative effects of the time jump, and finally get rid of the time machine.

I can finally get out of the endless time jump.

I stayed briefly in Fuyuki City for more than a week, and I needed to go back before the Yokohama Sohata remnants' activities ended, so I didn't stay for too long.Mr. Kariya from Fuyuki City said that after things stabilized, he would bring Matou Sakura and her older sister Rin to see me.

I can't say no, so I agreed.

By the time I got back to Yokohama, it was already seven o'clock in the afternoon, and winter was later than any other time.However, something has been resolved and I've been relieved a lot.

It's just that I didn't expect that I would see Ranpo Edogawa at the gate of the station.He leaned on the edge of the newspaper kiosk to buy the news that he had solved another big case, and bought a few more lollipops along the way.

The reason why many of my things are so complicated is that I don’t want to let this person with super observation and reasoning skills realize a little bit.

I originally wanted to pretend that I couldn't see Edogawa Ranpo, but Edogawa spotted me with sharp eyes, and called out to me, "Ayanokōji."

I had to stop.

He gave me a newspaper: "Look, I'm in the newspaper again."

"Ah."

Edogawa was quite dissatisfied with my indifference, and said with a puffy face: "You used to read my newspaper and send me flowers, but you have changed."

"I haven't read the newspaper for a long time."

"Why don't you read it? I often publish newspapers." Ranpo Edogawa said why Ayanokōji would send flowers to him before, but now he completely ignores his movements.It turns out that I don't read newspapers!

I said lightly: "Tired."

Edogawa didn't listen to such an explanation, and said: "Anyway, you want to join the detective agency, and reading newspapers is a daily task, so you must read it!"

"Don't you have to wait for the assessment to confirm that I will join the detective agency?"

"Can't I just talk about it first?"

Edogawa stuffed the newspaper into my hand, and I followed suit: "I see, I will read it."

Anyway, never see this person's obituary again.

I've seen it so many times, I'm tired of it.

But now it's finally over, and it's time to quit smoking.

I glanced at Edogawa, but said nothing.

Seeing me looking at him, Edogawa touched his face randomly and said, "What do you see me doing?"

"It's nothing."

"If you join the detective agency, you are not allowed to bully me. Let me tell you, the entire detective agency is someone who listens to me. If you bully me, I will call other people to help me. You will have big troublesome."

"talk later."

Fix one thing, and another.

Before entering the Butei Club, Dazai Osamu should be removed from the Butei Club.If he finds out that I am an undercover agent from Hong Kong, life will be very troublesome in the future.I have to contact Mr. Guangjin Liulang again about this matter.

I wonder if Mr. Hirotsu is ready?

That day, in the handkerchief with lenses wrapped in Mr. Hirotsu, I should have made a plan for me.This time, as long as there are no accidents, Osamu Dazai should never return.

The author has something to say:

①I found in the comments in the last chapter that everyone said that Jin Shanshan ended too quickly.Actually, don't think too much about it.The length of playing time is related to whether Ayanokōji thinks he is useful, and it will prevent him from winning the Holy Grail War.Wouldn't it be better to disappear sooner?

Ayanokōji: He is not as useful to me as Kotomine Kirei, why should I keep him?

Jin Shining: With this attitude, this person is not a character who can be captured ↑
