The days when real wine kidnapped the model worker in the winery

After the vacation, Gin became busy again because the chairman of an American consortium, Xindola, came to Neon to hold a game conference.

He also came into contact with Syndora when he was in the United States. He is an old fox-like character. In order to develop artificial intelligence, the organization also invested a lot of money in it. After the artificial intelligence is born, it will be directly owned.

As a result, Sawada Hiroki died, and died under the persecution of Sindo La.

Excluding the investment in artificial intelligence, Syndora also made a lot of deals with the organization in order to get rid of the enemy, but now there are signs of repentance, so much money wasted, who will the organization not kill?

However, this guy is better at hiding, and he has avoided the assassins sent by Rum several times. The United States is regarded as Qiu Tingye's territory. Although he is not in the United States now, his control over that side has not diminished at all.

Rum volunteered to take on this task at the beginning, and even secretly sent someone there because he didn't want him to get a piece of the pie, without the help of the organization in the United States.

So he sent his confidant over there, yes, it was Bourbon.

Then Bourbon was blamed by him, and now Rum is also in a state of desperation. According to Granville's report, Rum has not cleaned up his tail now.

Because of this shame and humiliation, the FBI insisted on it, and Bourbon also fished in troubled waters with ulterior motives.

So the task of assassinating Syndora has not been completed yet.

Now that Sindora is going to come to Neon, this task has been directly handed over to Gin. He should now determine Sindora's itinerary and then make a plan.

In the email that Granway sent him just now, in addition to reporting the information during this period, it also reported information about another person.

The whereabouts of the illusionist spider have already been revealed.

Qiu Tingye sent an email back:

【Keep looking. — Glenfiddich]

As a person with the right to act freely, before returning to Neon, Qiu Tingye got a long-term mission from the boss: to find the Philosopher's Stone.

Philosopher's Stone, a legendary substance, also known as the fifth element.Its form is not fixed, it may be solid like stone, powder or liquid.

The Philosopher's Stone is considered to be the panacea for turning stones into gold and creating immortality, and it is the lifelong dream of many alchemists.

Qiu Tingye: "..." Rum must like this task very much.

But the boss obviously doesn't pursue immortality at all, so why is he looking for the Philosopher's Stone? It can't be for turning a stone into gold, right?

Maybe the sage's stone turning stone into gold is not as fast as the organization can make money.

However, the boss said at the time: "Don't worry, just look for it slowly, and it will appear in front of you."

He said it as if he was sure that he would find the Philosopher's Stone, which made him feel strange.

Qiu Tingye also investigated a lot of information about the Philosopher's Stone, and he even found Paracelsus's notes in someone's hands.

It's a pity that Paracelsus studies artificial life and has nothing to do with the Philosopher's Stone.

In history, a group of people have been looking for the Philosopher's Stone for thousands of years, and the Philosopher's Stone was first recorded as an alchemist in Greece and Egypt. He wrote a book about alchemy "Handmade" Things", the book mentions:

"Alchemy is the study of the element of water, its activity, growth, materialization and dematerialization, the taking of the soul from the body and the binding of the soul to the body."

When he saw this, Qiu Tingye felt that the artificial life of Passacelsus might be related to the Philosopher's Stone, so he asked people to pay close attention to the person holding the note.

Later came medieval sources, as Byzantine and Arab alchemists were fascinated by the concept of being able to transform metals and attempted to carry out this process.

Most kings hope that alchemy can transform base metals into gold to make elixir of life, so they are willing to provide funds to recruit alchemists to serve in the palace, just like the emperors who pursued the golden elixir and immortality in ancient China.

The 8th-century alchemist Jabir analyzed each classical element according to four fundamental qualities.In his concept, fire is hot and dry, earth is cold and dry, water is cold and moist, air is hot and humid, and he believes that every metal is a combination of these four principles.

This structure inherits the four-element theory of ancient Greece, which is why the Philosopher's Stone is called the fifth element.

Taking this theory as a premise leads to the idea of ​​the transmutation of matter, the change of one metal to another may be due to the influence of the rearrangement of the basic properties, and this change will be conducted by a substance in the middle, that is, the The stone of the hunter.

However, these alchemists have been searching for hundreds of years, but they have never succeeded.

Qiu Tingye originally thought that the Philosopher's Stone was a fantasy, maybe it was used by the boss to fool Rum, but the newly found information allowed him to rule out this idea.

In history, someone has successfully created the Philosopher's Stone.

Nicolas Flamel, born in France in 1330, was originally just an ordinary person who copied various precious manuscripts for nobles.One night, he dreamed of an angel.

The angel told him that he would get a book that would allow him to gain extraordinary powers, that is, "The Book of the Jewish Abraham". On ancient Egyptian papyrus, in addition to Latin and Greek, there are also some obscure pictures.

Qiu Tingye had read the rubbings of this book, and it was very obscure, and he intuitively felt that there were some problems in some places.

However, Nicola Flamel spent 21 years researching and using this book, and finally reached a field that countless alchemists failed to do.According to records, he successfully refined the Philosopher's Stone, and used the Philosopher's Stone to turn mercury into gold, making him a rich man.

After that is what he did to become a rich man.

Nicolas Flamel thus became a legendary alchemist.

Qiu Tingye felt that these materials were nonsense, but Nicola Flamel was indeed the person who refined the Philosopher's Stone with clear historical records.

So here comes the problem, since he refined the Philosopher's Stone, he has the possibility of immortality, but he still died, although it is not sure whether he faked his death, even the tomb left behind is fake.

Tell a ghost story, Nicola Flamel might still be alive.

In this way, when the former boss of the organization was in power, he also pursued immortality crazily. However, after the new boss took office, he never pursued this thing. Now the people in the organization who have ideas are those of Rum's school.

Qiu Tingye remembered that when the current boss took the position, both he and Qin Jiu were still receiving training from the organization on the training ground. Although they were the key people trained by the organization, their status in the organization was still not high, so it is not clear what happened at the time. In the end what happened.

All he knew was that Belmode supported the current boss, but she was the former boss at first, why did she betray the former boss?

At that time, the position handover of the organization boss was very smooth, but he didn't believe that the transition of the leader position would be so smooth, there must be something else hidden in it!

He also asked Belmode this question when he was in the United States, but the woman just said mysteriously:

"We can be both of God and the Devil, Since wearing trying to raise the dead against the stream of time."

"We are both gods and demons as we turn back the tide of time and bring the dead back to life."

Another problem also came out. Belmode hated this kind of human experimentation, and hated the Miyano family.

So, why?

Boss doesn't pursue immortality, so is there a possibility that he has already obtained the immortality that others dream of?

If this is the case, then what is the relationship between the boss and Nicola Flamel?

Why did the boss ask him to find the Philosopher's Stone?

If the boss is related to Nicola Flamel, or is the alchemist himself, why is he looking for the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone? He can even create another Philosopher's Stone himself, and there is no need to look for it at all.

But he couldn't completely rule out this possibility. If a certain material for refining the Philosopher's Stone had disappeared, it would not be difficult to explain that the boss wanted to find the Philosopher's Stone again.

Also, in the sentence that Belmode said, the resurrection of the dead...

This also made him very concerned, who died, and who was going to be brought back to life?

He also asked whether the small system could travel through the torrent of time.

At that time, the small system looked at him as if he was looking at a fool:

"What's wrong with you, time travel? It can be done, but no one can afford it."

"for example?"

"For example, if you pay everything in your future, your soul, or bet on the luck of the whole world, there is only a chance. However, even if you try to seize the luck of the whole world, you will be counterattacked wildly by the world. If need be, the world will die with you."

"Controlling time is the domain of Creator Gods and higher dimensional beings."

"Don't suddenly want to travel through time one day or something. I don't want to die with you. Even if I can't go home, I can still enjoy life in this world. I haven't watched so many games and TV series yet. !"

Qiu Tingye: "..."

Finally, the small system said the last paragraph very seriously:

"If all the conditions for traveling through time are really met, there is still a problem that cannot be solved at all."

"When you go back to the past time, how can you be sure that the future didn't start from that moment to generate a new parallel world?"

"It seems to have changed everything, but in fact nothing has changed."

This is the dead end of despair.

Qiu Tingye frowned and rubbed his forehead. The water behind this task was so deep that it gave him a headache just thinking about it.

He wasn't sure whether he should get involved or not. He had asked about this mission many times before, but he didn't talk about it. They knew each other very well, and Zhen definitely knew how difficult this mission was.

He was even more uncertain about the consequences.
