The wizard in Hogwarts is unscientific

"die……"

The old man turned his head and glanced at Andy, then withdrew his gaze and said lightly: "Boy, eternal life...may be the most painful torture in the world!"

This is what I said...

Andy heard this with some disdain, "Have you lived enough?"

"Not yet."

The old man said: "However, I can accept death calmly."

Andy sneered, "You don't even know what eternal life is like, so you just say that eternal life is painful torture. Don't you think it's a little funny?"

Survival is the instinct of all life.

Some people would rather beg for food than survive. There are also people who choose to commit suicide amid pain and pressure.

The so-called pain and suffering also vary from person to person.

The old man sighed, "Watching friends and relatives around me die one after another, I can only live alone in the world, hiding from the world, not daring to contact the outside world... Isn't this torture?"

Having said this, the old man sighed again, "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. Looking at you like this, I know I can't persuade you."

Andy raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "If death is unavoidable, I hope that the cause of my death is 'I want to die', rather than being taken away by other people, time, aging, or illness."

"This is important!"

Andy knew what the old man wanted to express.

Is it painful to live alone?

Maybe!

Take Nico Flamel as an example. If he didn't hide, there would be countless people who wanted immortality to snatch the magic stone, his knowledge and wealth.

So he could only hide.

For a long time, I lived just to "live".

There are no ideals or goals. All you have to do every day is get up, eat, have some fun, and then go to bed.

Day after day, year after year.

Over time, death becomes relief.

So, Nico Flamel chose death.

Choosing to die and having no choice but to die are two completely different realms.

Andy longed for the former.

Without further discussing the topic, Andy asked: "You haven't answered my question yet, how do you understand death?"

"Hey! Death..."

The old man sighed: "Death is the end of life, but it is not the end of life."

"At least……"

"That's it for you!"

Andy suddenly understood.

Perhaps due to his status as a silent person, the old man could not speak outright about some things. But the old man's words also confirmed Andy's guess from the side.

——Not everyone can maintain a clear self-awareness in the dimension of death.

Taking a deep breath, Andy didn't ask any more questions.

The room suddenly became quiet.

To this day, Andy already knows many secrets.

Some people say that the world may be virtual.

This statement is not completely wrong.

Perhaps, for the high-dimensional world, Andy's world is the 'virtual world'.

But for people living in this world, this world is real.

"It's interesting..."

Andy suddenly chuckled.

In previous lives, humans created the online world.

However, with the rapid development of the Internet, the Internet has penetrated into every aspect of life and affects everyone in the world.

Mechanical intelligence has gradually replaced manual labor.

When Andy traveled through time, intelligent robots could do many things.

so……

Is it true that the low-dimensional world cannot counter the high-dimensional world?

Not necessarily?

Take the past life as an example. If artificial intelligence develops rapidly and super artificial intelligence like Ultron emerges, robots counterattacking humans will be more than just a movie plot.

——It will appear in reality!

"So...who am I now?"

Andy was a little curious.

"For those high-dimensional beings, am I now...an 'artificial intelligence' that is out of control?"

Maybe!

Thinking of this, Andy asked curiously: "Sir, am I out of control now?"

"I don't know!" the old man said.

"Can't you tell me?" Andy was a little disappointed.

"It's not that I can't tell, it's that I really don't know."

The old man shook his head and said: "Human beings can never understand what is beyond knowledge."

Andy nodded slightly when he heard this.

This is the truth.

The old man looked at Andy and continued: "Collins, have you ever thought about it? If your guess is true, then... what will you encounter next?"

"You want to scare me with death?" Andy laughed.

The old man was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed and said: "Yes! The most terrifying thing is death."

If he was going to die sooner or later, of course Andy would continue his research.

After a pause, the old man suddenly asked: "Are you here tonight just for the Brain Hall?"

"Of course not!"

Andy glanced sideways at the old man and said, "Unfortunately, you are silent and can't say anything. I can't find the Department of Mysteries' data room, so I can only come here and have a look."

"Um……"

"By the way! I'm studying the magic of physical immortality. Do you have any suggestions?"

The old man laughed when he heard this.

"Actually, before I came to see you tonight, I thought about whether to reveal some secrets."

The old man turned to look at Andy, "After seeing you, I feel it's a bit early."

Andy was surprised and said: "Can't the silent person not speak?"

"Yes! You have to pay the price of your life." The old man sighed.

Andy: "..."

"Why?" Andy raised his eyebrows.

"Collins, you are very suitable for the Department of Mysteries."

The old man's tone was a little tired, "Most people here are like you, they all want to crack the secrets of this world."

"But magic depends too much on talent."

"Without talent, you can only wave the wand like a fool."

"We know a lot, but we can do very little."

At this point, the old man looked at Andy with a strange look in his eyes.

"Collins, you are different!"

"You are the most gifted wizard in the world today."

"In the records of the Department of Mysteries, no one is better than you."

"More importantly, you want to know all this!"

Andy: "..."

"Until now, I feel like you are a silent man."

Andy said calmly: "The premise is that what you said is true."

The old man didn't care about Andy's suspicion. He turned his head and continued: "Come again next time! If you still don't want to join the Department of Mysteries, I will tell you some secrets."

"As for your question... I'm sorry, that's not my specialty. However, you can start with the Philosopher's Stone. That thing can make people immortal."

The Philosopher's Stone...

Andy's eyes moved slightly.

Indeed! Nicolas Flamel is the only immortal in the world today.

The Philosopher's Stone is indeed worth studying!

After thinking about it, Andy suddenly asked: "After joining the Department of Mysteries, can I not come to work?"

The old man: "..."
