Mage? Spell Engineer!

"11A11A, here." After confirming the seat information on the app, Rorschach took out the laptop and power cord from the backpack, and put the bag on the luggage rack.

The other two people in row 11 of Car 05 were an elderly couple. Rorschach said softly: "My seat is inside the window, please give way."

The old lady in Block C stood up immediately, but the old man in Block B didn't move. Seeing this, the old lady slapped the old man's arm continuously: "Hey! Give way! I want to go in, give way - give way!"

"Uh-huh"

Finally able to sit down, Luo Xia nestled into his seat, put down the small table and turned on the computer. There are about 3 hours left, so you can change the report PPT for your boss, so you don’t have to change it in the hotel.

Thinking of this, Luo Xia secretly sighed, and the scene when booking the tickets was still fresh in her memory: "Ronald, the school has a rule that only leaders at the college level and above can sit in business seats, so remember to book a separate ticket for me.

"I've read your new book, and there's nothing wrong with the format. But if you ask me, the competition between Qingji and Qingji is fierce, so this one is a bit weak.

"It's still not groundbreaking enough. I often tell you in group meetings that no matter how good the things you make are, at least the stories you tell must be very imaginative, and the ideals must be eye-catching, do you understand?

"The people I brought out."

The memory is interrupted here, because the old man in Block B also turned on his mobile phone and pressed the volume button.

Rorschach glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the volume bar on the side of the old man's screen was full. He suddenly felt bad, and the good mood of sitting next to him was gone. The next moment he clicked on the short video app proved that his hunch was effective:

"If your child is in third grade, this winter vacation is the most critical"

"At 3:50 in the morning, I kicked my 75-year-old mother out of the house."

"At four o'clock in the morning, I kicked my father out of the house."

"I am the grandmother of a child, Huateng, please turn off the online games."

“Call XX people across the entire network!”

"Cock cock cock you"

By default, the old people start watching videos by looping three times. Sometimes some games or strange meme videos will suddenly pop up, and passionate DJ versions of BGM will burst out. Very good, this is a mobile phone shared by grandparents and grandchildren. The big data of short video applications crosses the age gap and shows the duality of old and young.

After enduring for a while, Luo Xia really couldn't work without peace of mind, so he decided to muster up the courage: "Old man, old man, old uncle - big brother -"

"I'm calling you." The old man's arm was patted by the old woman again: "Hey, what's the matter?"

"Can you - can you give me a moment so I can take out the things in the bag?" Rorschach chose noise-canceling headphones between being patient and asking the other party to turn down the volume.

Returning to his seat again, he planned to pick a song to listen to to drown out the last bit of noise. However, at the last moment when he was about to put it on, the sound of AI human-machine voice coming from Seat B made Rorschach slow down:

"Recently, a man took the following scene while climbing Longhu Mountain to the top. Experts analyzed that it may be a special climatic phenomenon. What do you think? Move your little fortune-making hand, click on the red heart and listen to what the Taoist Master of Longhu Mountain has to say."

After listening to it later, I realized that what the so-called Taoist priest was talking about was a fantasy opening plot randomly fabricated by a marketing account's AI crawler, and then it smoothly transitioned into an advertisement for a free reading website.

Rorschach shook his head and smiled. He admired the people in this world, because there was obviously no magic in this world, but they could seriously imagine magic and its analogues, and they also came up with various systems and all kinds of sour things. plot.

When he first arrived, he was obsessed with it and stayed up late watching it.

Yes, Rorschach is not a native of this world. According to their fantasy, he comes from a world of swords and magic.

Coincidentally, the original owner of the body inherited through time travel was also named Rorschach, and he studied a subject similar to alchemy, which made him quickly accept the change of identity, especially since the original owner happened to be in the stage of entering high school and changed his environment. , moving away from home makes him feel much less pressure to "act".

After enrolling in school, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he still had money to study. Although it was not much compared to the expenses, he still had support from his parents. Recently, he surfed the Internet and discovered that in his previous life, he was a standard small-town problem solver, and he had no problem coping with academics in this world. .

He didn't feel the pressure until recently. Obviously, the society he lives in has passed the stage where he can reach the world in one step after studying. It's not like Rorschach, who is taking full-time assessment and can't help but recall things before time travel.

Now my memory is gradually blurring. What is the first test I want to take?

These things were secrets to be kept forever from Rorschach, forever. But even if you say it, no one will take it seriously, right?

He rubbed his brows, feeling tired.

Perhaps the shielding effect of the earphones was too good, perhaps the songs selected were not enough to "play every move", or perhaps caffeine could not replace sleep after all. Rorschach successfully squinted despite the sonic attack of the "external amplifier" sitting next to him. meeting.

When he woke up, the passengers beside him had changed and were replaced by a young man and woman. Does this train have any stops along the way?

He said he was young and looked about the same age as himself. He guessed that the two of them were in their twenties or thirties. It is worth noting that the lady in Block C has brown hair and blue eyes, and she looks like an old friend.

Very very similar

Rorschach turned his head to observe for a little too long. The lady seemed to have noticed his gaze, and turned to look at him, and responded with a kind smile. Even though the man in Block B is separated from him, that smile still overlaps with his memory.

That's her! No no no, this is impossible

Rorschach, whose heart was shaking violently, froze, but the other party no longer paid attention to him. Instead, he skillfully opened the Pad from the package and clicked on it. He knew that he was starting to watch a TV series without looking at the screen.

In addition to keeping her eyes and mouth busy, she also took out braised duck products from the plastic bag, which is also a well-known braised meat chain brand in Luo Xia's hometown.

One box, two boxes, three boxes. When she got to the fifth box, Rorschach couldn't help but look at her watch: There was less than an hour before the arrival, could she finish eating?

I saw the young lady shooting her bow from left to right, holding a wing in one hand and a claw in the other. She stuffed the palm of the duck's claw into it and gritted her teeth for a few seconds without any concern for the image. What came out of her mouth were white bones.

Her astonishing eating speed dispelled Rorschach's doubts, and he was very, very sure that the lady in Block C was not the quiet teacher he remembered.

Absolutely impossible!

He gave up and looked away, and glanced at the man in Block B who had been blocking him before.

Strangely, the other person's appearance seems inexplicably friendly, but there is no face in memory that can match it. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary person with a bit of sunshine, but if you look closely, some details look a bit exotic.

Rorschach felt that he had been looking sideways for too long, and felt a little embarrassed. He quickly opened the computer screen and worked to relieve the embarrassment.

But this time it was the turn of the man sitting next to him to look at Rorschach. He glanced at the PPT and spoke with interest: "Do you want to make a report? Can high-speed rails now charge laptops?"

"I'm not on stage, I'm editing the ppt for the big boss. Well, the socket is at the bottom of the seat. If you want to charge your phone, just bend down and fumble for it." Luo Xia replied while typing.

"Then you are the little boss?"

"I'm just a 'small contractor', and I'm still temporary." This job can't be done, forget it, check into the hotel at the venue before talking. Rorschach closed his laptop and took off his noise-canceling headphones without giving up.

As a result, the two of them started talking inexplicably. Rorschach didn't know what was wrong. He had always been a dull person. He didn't know why the conversation was so exciting now, and he was mainly talking to himself.

Passengers in Seat B are good listeners. Although they don't fully understand Rorschach's academic talk, they can still understand the terminology and ask appropriate questions. They should be researchers or engineers in the same major but in different directions.

While chatting, Rorschach began to mix up the little emotions he had accumulated recently and the things he couldn't say to his classmates. He felt a lot better after he said it. Anyway, the main target of the complaints is now enjoying the business class seat!

After the young man complained with Rorschach, he took the initiative to speak for the first time: "Well, where are you from? Are your parents in good health?"

".Very good." For some reason, Rorschach suddenly had a strong impulse to ask the other party this question, and he found that he cared about the answer very much.

The man in Block B paused for a while: "I respected their choice and let nature take its course. I also discovered not long ago that the time on both sides is different. So..."

Maybe the other person, like the lady, is a foreigner who speaks Chinese very well? "The time is different" should I mean the time difference?

But there is another possible explanation, one so bizarre that only Rorschach would believe it. His throat suddenly became extremely dry, and his eyes began to sting. He suppressed a huge impulse and struggled to spell out a few words: "Then there are younger brothers and sisters."

The other party nodded: "Franz and Angel are both developing very well now, especially Angel has become, um, the longest-serving prime minister in the alliance."

The other party seemed to be still explaining what an alliance was, but Rorschach could no longer hold back his tears. He covered his face and sobbed for a while, muttering to himself: "That's good."

Suddenly Rorschach grabbed the hand of his neighbor and said in a trembling voice as low as possible: "How did you come back? Take me back and have a look, okay? No, you come with me first! We were not the only ones back then. Do you know the others?" All three roommates lost their jobs after graduation."

Rorschach's burst of excitement made Caroline, who was eating duck feet while watching the show, look at him sideways. The flight attendant checking tickets was also attracted by the message: "Two gentlemen, please show your ID cards."

Rorschach immediately restrained himself and took out his ID. The young man sitting next to me naturally helped pass it on, and by the time it was delivered to the flight attendant, it had already turned into two sheets.

"Sorry, wait a moment, maybe the signal is not good." The interface on the mobile phone that was working on the ticket check went blank, and the flight attendant refreshed to see the result.

When she checked the second ID card, she was stunned and blurted out: "What a coincidence?"

Both were valid documents, and the names of both passengers were Rorschach.
