[Infrastructure] After being mistaken for a god

soul?

Yi Nan was so stunned by this answer that he could hardly make a sound.

She really wanted to say loudly to Daniel: "But we are scientific researchers!"

——We are not engaged in occultism!

Unexpectedly, Daniel continued to say calmly: "And I have reason to suspect that the characteristics of this magnetic field may make you 'more likely' to meet the same type of observation objects in various historical periods."

While talking, he made a gesture, indicating that this "more likely" is purely the result of a probability calculation.

Yi Nan was completely speechless: So this "space-time tunnel" will "guide" her to some very similar people with certain physical characteristics?

With the guidance of the magnetic field, the memory is constantly turning around—from this perspective, what she meets will actually be the same person with the same memory, the same person?

But this way...does it mean that she doesn't have to be so regretful, and she will meet again anyway?

Daniel seemed to see through her thoughts, and said lightly: "As the time span of your shuttle in different historical periods increases, this kind of memory will be very distant and very vague. You have also seen it in this observation, your observation object It is likely that such a long-term memory was only triggered after you came into his vision for a few months, and it was only slowly remembered..."

That is to say, after Dumuzi and Yinan got along for a long time, Dumuzi slowly got the memory of the young Dan.Before that, although they had similarities, they were separate personalities.

"So you don't have to worry." Daniel said here, looking down at the project plan in front of him.

"And the time span in the next stage will be relatively large, and it's hard to say whether the effect of the magnetic field will still exist. You need to be mentally prepared for this."

Yinan lowered his head and let out a soft breath: What Daniel said was too shocking, she needs to digest it.

"Then let's see if there are any new discoveries in our archaeological evidence about this historical period?"

Yinan raised his ears, wanting to hear if there was any reprimand or sarcasm in Daniel’s tone—the conclusion was that there was no. Daniel seriously shared that during the period of Yinan’s “vacancy”, historical archaeology and even New discoveries in culture.

"As the first king of Uruk, Dumuzi was originally a shepherd. In mythology, it is believed that the goddess Inanna personally selected him, so he ascended the throne of Uruk."

"There are also many people who say that he is the husband personally identified by the goddess Inanna—she chose him among countless young people who hope to become the husband of the goddess."

Yi Nan couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth upwards, thinking of the young shepherd's "average appearance".

Daniel glanced up at Inan, then continued to lower his head and read: "But the only thing he was criticized for was that after Goddess Inanna left the world, he still sang and danced in Uruk and led everyone to a feast. sorrow."

Yinan: ...?

Isn't this what she ordered?

"...This caused the people of Uruk to be dissatisfied, until they discovered that their king would leave Uruk every six months to go to the underworld to reunite with his wife."

Yinan Fuer: The public's imagination is indeed boundless.

But why does Dumuzi leave Uruk every six months?

"...It is also said that Dumuzi went to the underworld not to reunite with his wife Inanna, but to stay there instead of his wife to meet the requirements of the Lord of Hell. He will stay there for half a year every year; For the other half of the year, his older sister, Gashtinanna, will do it."

Yi Nan interjected: "This should be an achievement in the cultural sense, right?"——Has she figured out the source of the Sumerian myth?Based on the facts, people make appropriate imagination and interpretation.

Unexpectedly, Daniel, who was always serious as hell, suddenly laughed.

He nodded and said: "Yes. The archaeological evidence actually provides another perspective of the truth. Dumuzi may also be the king of Eridu at the same time. He will stay in Uruk for half a year and stay in Egypt for half a year. Lidu. When he was in Eridu, it is possible that his sister Qashtinanna stayed in Uruk and managed the government affairs of Uruk as the chief high priest."

This is something Yinan never thought of, but it should be true when you think about it: Uruk and Eridu have the same culture, the two cities complement each other, and having the same king can make both cities grow. development of.

Gashti has always been a calm and meticulous person, and can be a very good assistant manager.

Therefore, the things that Yi Nan has participated in and the people who have influenced them have made achievements in their respective positions-these stories have been passed down from a long time and have become the myths and legends that people read today.

"Overall, you have done an excellent and successful job at this stage. My heartfelt congratulations."

Yi Nan couldn't help laughing: Why did this guy suddenly become so "official", people are not used to it at all.

"There is another piece of good news to tell you," Daniel's lips could not help but curl up when he spoke, presumably because he was in a really good mood.

"If you are dissatisfied with this body in the classical era, you can bring it up now. Now is just a good opportunity. Before going to the next historical period, the team will try its best to meet your requirements."

"Really!"

Yi Nan is too greedy.

"I want to have more strength, good balance and flexibility so I can do things I couldn't do in the past."

Twice in this past era she suffered setbacks due to her lack of strength.The first time was when Guda was attacked at night and she found that she could not complete the "over-the-shoulder fall". The second time was in Eridu, she found that the rope binding the logs was broken, and she had no strength to pull the rope Live, almost watched the accident happen.

Daniel reached out and tapped on the table, as if he had calculated it in his mind, then nodded: "Yes!"

"Yeah!" Yi Nan waved his fist happily, and Daniel saw her joy, and Daniel couldn't help smiling, and lowered his head not to look at her.

"in addition……"

Yi Nan hesitated to speak, as if her request was a little difficult to say.

"I think I'm going to have a body that's a little less feminine - not that I don't like my femininity, I love it and I'm proud of it - but I hope it's the same as the previous two eras. The image in front of the villagers is slightly different."

"I don't want to completely become a man, because it will affect my mood to complete the task." Yinan lowered his head, looked at his "projected" body, and continued, "I just want to change the image a little bit. A little 'neutral'."

Her current appearance may be too bright and beautiful.After going through two historical periods like this, Yinan felt that the influence of perfect appearance on ancient ancestors cannot be underestimated—especially when human self-awareness has not yet fully developed.

"An androgynous body that combines both masculine and feminine charms?"

Daniel pinched his chin, and examined Yi Nan's "projection" very seriously—it was impossible for such a man to examine him so seriously without psychological pressure, so Yi Nan had no choice but to turn his eyes away, waiting for the result from Daniel.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

"Is the starting point of your request from the perspective of an observer, hoping not to be mistaken for a god again?" Daniel asked calmly.

Yi Nan nodded: "Yes." Daniel guessed what she was thinking.

"Really?" Daniel tilted his head slightly, "But in fact, you have done a very good job this time. In the era you lived in, kingship replaced divine power and began to rule the world. The public began to believe in their own power .It doesn't matter if a small group of people think of you as their god."

Speaking of which, Daniel even clapped his hands lightly: "The power of kings descended from the sky, this is really a perfect turning point."

But Daniel did not mention that although the royal power appeared on the scene, it did not completely erase the influence of the temple.Especially when Yi Nan left at the end, Dumuzi, who witnessed her departure with his own eyes, would only continue to deepen his belief in God.

"However, you need to understand: the concept of 'god' may change, but the thing of 'faith' will not disappear-it is the cornerstone of human society."

"As long as all the mysterious, undetermined, and uncontrollable things still exist, gods will exist."

Yi Nan thought to himself: This seems to make sense.

"But with the development of human society, people began to master tools, and the power they could use became greater and greater...the power of gods began to weaken. Because people gradually turned to believe in themselves. However, all the things that were originally given to gods, In human society, it will exist in another form - that is fate."

"Why did you and I meet today?" Daniel asked Yi Nan.

Yi Nan kept her mouth shut, waiting for the other party to ask and answer herself—she seemed to be beginning to understand this man's temper gradually.

"Those who understand the 'Retracing Civilization Project' know that you have a physique that is compatible with the magnetic field, and you also have the corresponding knowledge; but those who don't know the inside information will think that this is a kind of 'fate'. It is 'fate' Sent you to me."

Yinan: Tsk tsk, listen to what you said - this is... the sweet talk of a scientific research madman, right?

"So you don't have to worry, the chances of you being mistaken for a 'god' will become smaller and smaller in the future."

Yi Nan secretly wrinkled his nose, thinking: At least I must first ensure that I am no longer "remembered" as a god.

Changing an image may be an opportunity to make the "misunderstanding" no longer continue.

"However, I have written down your request. I will consider it." Daniel said in a calm tone.

"Please... please be more coordinated, I still hope that this body has a sense of beauty... Don't, don't turn me into a King Kong Barbie!"

Yinan said in a low voice, pinning all her hopes on Daniel's "aesthetics of straight men".

"Okay," Daniel seemed to have no idea what "King Kong Barbie" was, so he agreed casually, and didn't take it too seriously, "It will take a while for your body to adjust, and you may There will be a short period of weakness and fatigue, that is normal and nothing to panic about."

"You rest for a while, waiting to travel to the next historical period. Good luck!"

As usual, Daniel bid farewell to Yi Nan in a very "official" way, stretched out his hand and pressed a button, and immediately there was a "wow" from the next door, and laughter rang out again.Apparently, Yi Nan was "slapped" on the light screen of the big laboratory again, and he was able to chat freely with the partners of the entire project team again.

Daniel leaned back in the chair again, stretched out his hand and rubbed the space between his brows: he felt that the task of the next stage was quite... difficult for Yi Nan.

Then let her take it easy.

Yi Nan felt that his eyelids were heavy, his whole body was weak, and he could hardly lift his fingers.

She hadn't felt this feeling for a long time—to be exact, she hadn't been sick or injured since she joined the "Returning Civilization Project", and of course she didn't have the chance to experience this feeling.

She closed her eyes drowsily, and suddenly felt that someone was carefully pouring clear water on her lips, and her lips felt cool——

Yi Nan opened his mouth slightly, trying hard to say "thank you".

I don't know if there is something wrong with her language system. The feedback Yi Nan got was just a burst of meaningless voice.

But it could be heard that it was an older woman with a nagging tone and no malice.

Yi Nan felt relieved and fell asleep peacefully.

She seemed to have had a dream, dreaming that Dan grew up and became Dumuzi, but Dumuzi didn't become anyone after that...he was getting old, he was getting old, and he was facing the beautiful and beautiful Yi Nan.

Yes, no matter how wise the king is, no matter how great the hero is, it is difficult to resist the tempering of the years.

Everyone gets old—except for her, Inan.

After an unknown amount of time, Yi Nan suddenly opened his eyes and woke up: the abnormalities in his body were completely gone, and every inch of his body seemed to be full of vitality.

Yi Nan immediately sat up.

She was in a clay-brick hut, indistinguishable from the one she had seen in 5500 BC.But the windows of the room are very small, and the sunlight is like a dazzling square, shining straight in through the small square window, forming a huge oblique cube in the air, with countless fine dust fluttering in it.

There was no one in the room for the time being, Yi Nan quickly took this opportunity to turn on the light screen on his wrist: "2800 BC".

This... leaping from 5500 BC to 2800 BC, this time span really hit a new high.

Just looking at this hut, after so many years, it seems that human life has not undergone any special changes.

She couldn't help thinking of what her ancient history teacher once said, that before 1500 AD, time seemed to pass in a particularly relaxing manner in human society.Change is indeed happening, but it is happening extremely slowly, and the time unit can literally be measured in thousands of years.Many people spend their whole lives repeating the same routine.

However, being here right now, Yinan can feel that, even so, for human beings living at this time, time is also constant, a second is a second, a minute is a minute...a lifetime is a lifetime.

Yi Nan stared at the smooth walls of the hut in a daze, and for a moment forgot to check what had happened to her—until she stood up and was about to walk out of the hut.

Her thick and smooth long black hair still fell behind her head, and she still wore the khaki off-road suit that would be "updated" every time she "traveled through time and space", but the problem was——

Her clothes seemed to... loosen up.

Yi Nan didn't dare to lower his head right away, and felt his body first to see if he noticed any special changes - the conclusion was that it was okay, at least there was no extra flesh out of thin air.

Then she lowered her head, looked at her chest, and finally knew where the problem was.

Her femininity has not diminished, and Daniel has not superimposed any masculine features on her—so far the only change in her is that her formerly full breasts are now an airport.

Yi Nan pursed her lips tightly, and she looked at her hands and feet: her skin was still fair, her bones were still slender, and there were no particularly thick muscle groups;

Reach out and pinch my waist: it is still a small waist that can only be grasped, and it seems that there is no six-pack abs of mermaid line, vest line——

Conclusion: Daniel transformed her into a poor, breasted, young, female!

So this is the so-called "neutral beauty" in the eyes of straight men? --Thanks, bye!

To be honest, Yinan really regrets it now——is that all?This can't be regarded as a neutral beauty image of "both masculine and feminine charms, male and female indistinguishable"? !

If I had known that she would not have said the phrase "don't want King Kong Barbie"—compared to her current appearance, even King Kong Barbie was at least full of strength and an image of a strong person.

Yi Nan shook his head, let out a breath, and tried his best to adjust his mood.She has always had such a personality: it doesn't matter if her innate conditions are not ideal, she can always find a way to overcome difficulties.

She got up and came to the door of the hut, where a wooden door was hidden.Unexpectedly, as soon as Yi Nan stretched out his hand, the door flew out and fell to the ground in the distance, with a "bang chi".

This……

Yi Nan looked at his hands in surprise, and it took a while before he gradually became excited: Daniel did not break his promise, he gave her current body a power that ordinary people could not match.Although she is weak in appearance now, she is very strong, and coupled with her own immortality, wouldn't she be "invincible all over the world" in this historical period?

She asked Daniel to do something, and Daniel finally did something right.

But the fact that the wooden door was pushed out by her immediately attracted the attention of the people around.

Yi Nan heard footsteps approaching quickly, and then someone chattered for a while.The language conversion function was debugged for a while, and these sentences were finally translated properly after a while.

"Sister Shahat, come quickly, the savage you picked up smashed the gate of your house!"

"Savage?!" Yi Nan straightened his eyes, and really wanted to ask the other party loudly, "What do I look like a savage?"

But considering that others still don't know him well, Yi Nan doesn't know much about him, so he just strode over, picked up the wooden door that she pushed and flew out, and held it in his hand effortlessly.

She hugged the wooden door and went back to the hut she was in just now, checked the structure of the door panel, and found that there was a door hinge attached to the door panel, and the door hinge was inserted into the two knockers protruding from the wall of the door of the hut. .

When Yi Nan stretched out her hand, she just wanted to check the condition of the door knocker, but immediately stopped in place in embarrassment - the pottery door knocker had fallen off the wall and was lying in her hand.

"you--"

An older and gentle female voice spoke from behind.Yi Nan turned around and was about to say sorry, but the other party pulled his hand and said, "Don't worry about these things, come in with me first."

Yi Nan said "Oh", and threw the door panel and door knocker casually away, only to hear a "crack" and "dang bang", the door panel cracked into four or five pieces, and the door knocker fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

The one holding Yi Nan was a mother-in-law in her fifties. Seeing this, she gave Yi Nan a hard look, but unexpectedly, she didn't scold her. Instead, she took her by the hand, brought her into the room, and asked her to sit down.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Yinan hurriedly bowed his head to apologize to the other party - it was obvious that this "Nurse Shahat" rescued her when she just arrived in this time and space, but she "revenged her kindness" and got lost in an instant. Broken the other side's door panel and door knocker.

"So you can understand me!" The mother-in-law in front of her nodded, obviously relieved.

"Girl," the mother-in-law said in a low voice, sitting opposite Yi Nan, "you must not reveal that you are a girl in front of other people."

Yinan: ...!

It seems that the fact that she is a woman is currently only known to the mother-in-law who saved her.

"When I first picked you up, I told others that you were a thin young man."

Yi Nan was secretly delighted: If she could succeed in menswear, she would no longer have to worry about being mistaken for a "goddess" all the time.

The mother-in-law stretched out her hand, and gently stroked the drooping hair on both sides of Yinan's cheeks: "You better speak in a rough voice... By the way, you have a lot of strength, and it's easy to pretend to be a handsome boy." ..."

Yi Nan was also a little excited when he heard the words. Obviously, Sister Shahat approved of the possibility of her disguised as a man.

"...Leave the door panel and door knocker alone, I'll find someone else to do it." Shahat looked outside, frowning, and seemed to want to try to prevent Yi Nan from "destroying the house".

Yi Nan blushed for a moment: She didn't want to, it's just that she has just become very powerful, and she hasn't mastered the way to use these powers yet.

She nodded, thanked the Sister Shahat, then hugged her knees, and asked cautiously: "Sister, why do people outside say that I am... a savage!"

Shahat immediately pointed to the off-road suit on her body and said, "What are you wearing? Who wears sandy earth color?"

"When I first brought you back, it was still dark, but everyone only saw your gray body and that long hair. Those who are stupid will naturally call you a savage."

Yinan was speechless: It's still the stalk of "covered with sand"?

It's just that this meme turned her into a pea god during the Agricultural Revolution, but now, people think she is a "savage"?

As soon as Yi Nan raised his head, he saw the clothes on Shahat's body - it was a coat made of wool.The wool was dyed golden and vermilion, and the wool threads of different colors were woven into geometric patterns when weaving the clothes, which looked elegant and beautiful.

2700 years! ——Inan finally felt the impact of the time change from the bottom of his heart, to the extent that even fashion tastes have changed.

But this is also good, the time is far enough away, no one will judge the relationship between her and Goddess Inanna based on her clothes.

"I'll get you a boy's robe, you can quickly change this one." Sister Shahat made a decision for Yinan without saying a word.

Before she went out, she suddenly turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

Inan thought for a while, and finally decided to abandon any name related to "Inanna".She thought of her two "old friends", one named "Dan" and the other named "Du".

So Yinan raised his head and told Shahat, "Nurse, you can call me 'Duo'."
