Working Prophet

"When did you arrive?" Xu Mengyuan asked Li Yu who was standing in front of the door.

"Five minutes ago."

"It seems that you have already begun to integrate into the corporate culture of the third era, but there is still room for improvement."

Xu Mengyuan smiled slightly and opened the electronic lock on the door at 8:57. "The front desk administration usually arrives at the last minute. As for other people, it is not considered late as long as they arrive before 9:20. I went out of my way for you." Come early, come in, there are many things to do today."

Li Yu followed Xu Mengyuan into her office - a room numbered 2.

Different from the previous room numbered 8, this one has a typical office layout, with desks and chairs, computers, printers, file cabinets, etc. Everything looks no different from an ordinary company department.

Well, there is still a difference. Li Yu noticed that the ergonomic chair Xu Mengyuan was sitting on belonged to Herman Miller.

The online price of such a chair is between 10,000 and 20,000, and even if it is collected, it will not be much cheaper. Even those first-line Internet companies rarely have the determination to equip their employees with such chairs.

Xu Mengyuan hung his shoulder bag on the peg board on the wall, and put the tofu nao and fried dough sticks bought at the breakfast shop downstairs in his work station.

Then he opened the drawer, took out a black file folder, and handed it to Li Yu.

"According to your previous request, we will talk about the contract after you finish your first day of work. How about it? Do you have an answer now?"

Li Yu took the contract and found an office chair to sit down. First he quickly scanned the general contents, and then read it twice carefully from beginning to end, word for word.

After confirming that there were no text traps or any disgusting non-competition agreement, he put down the contract and raised his head again, "Aren't you worried at all that I would call the police after I went back yesterday?"

"When recruiting people, you can't do it without taking risks." Xu Mengyuan opened the paper cover on the tofu brain, "Since you took the first step, of course we must repay your trust."

"By giving back trust, do you mean locking me into Room 8 when I'm not prepared?" Li Yu asked.

"I don't want to do that. It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning. I told you a long time ago that if you don't let you see that world with your own eyes, you won't believe some things even if I tell you something."

Xu Mengyuan grabbed the fried dough sticks with one hand, scooped up a spoonful of tofu puffs with a plastic spoon with the other hand, put it to her mouth and blew on it.

"Besides, even if you are not interested in this job and don't want to break up with us peacefully, we still have a public relations department that handles such matters."

"What should I do? Kill me?"

Xu Mengyuan shook his head, "We are a regular company and we do not do anything illegal."

"But if I died in that world yesterday..."

"You won't die there," a voice sounded from outside the door, "Well... to be precise, you will still die there, but it doesn't matter, you will come back, not a little bit less, because your The godhead sequence is the legendary [Reborn], the same as that of the most famous prophet in Christianity."

The person who spoke was a handsome mixed-race guy who looked about the same age as Li Yu. He had chestnut hair and was wearing a Forza Horizon 4 peripheral T-shirt and a pair of large floral beach shorts.

He doesn't look like he's here for work, more like a playboy on vacation at the beach.

As soon as he entered the door, he stretched out his hand to Li Yu and said enthusiastically, "Hephaestus, Equipment Department, my hair is not dyed because my mother is a Slavic. Oh, and I also want to emphasize that I am not gay."

"Li Yu." Li Yu shook hands with Hephaestus, "What [Reborn] did you mention just now..."

"Oh, your Godhead sequence first appeared in the Gospel of Matthew, and is also mentioned in Chapter 16, Section 9 of the Gospel of Mark, as well as in 1 Peter... But it is different from other Godhead sequences. Different, [Reborn] is really too rare.

"No one has owned it since that man, so much so that we weren't even sure whether it actually existed. It wasn't until your appearance that this dispute that lasted for thousands of years ended."

The handsome mixed-race boy looked at Li Yu with extremely fiery eyes, as if he were staring at the golden limited character card that had just been drawn from the card pool.

"Thank you for telling me in advance that you are not gay, but I still don't quite understand..."

"To put it simply, you have the special ability to be reborn infinitely." Xu Mengyuan said while biting a dough stick.

"Plane travel is already bizarre enough, and now you are trying to tell me that the stories in the Bible are also true?" Li Yu frowned.

"Part of it is true," Hephaestus nodded, "Although there may be some discrepancies in the narrative perspective. So far we have confirmed the existence of more than sixty kinds of godhead sequences, which are distributed in Norse mythology, Kyle Special myths, Indian myths...the most in the Bible. After all, it was written recently and is easier to verify.

"These divine sequences are precious treasures given to us by those guests from another universe a long time ago. It is precisely because of their legacy that the company was established, and setting foot in this blue ocean that no one has touched before, is like The Mayflower sailed across the ocean to the New World.”

"What exactly do you want to do, to plunder the gold, products and energy of another universe?" Li Yu asked.

"No, no, no, that would be too barbaric. The New World and the Mayflower are just metaphors. We are different from those greedy and ruthless European colonists. And you should have discovered that we cannot take away a single plant or tree from that world. .There’s really only one thing we can take away from there – and that’s faith.”

"Faith, isn't that just an abstract concept?"

"Faith is real, and it is also a very expensive and special resource that can flow freely in different universes without being restricted by planes." Xu Mengyuan had finished eating the fried dough sticks on his hands and wiped his hands.

"Since its establishment, the company has been committed to the mining and utilization of faith, and all our work is centered around these two projects."

"Let me summarize," Li Yu said, "If I understand correctly, you have just hinted that many myths and legends in human history are true and were left by visitors from other planes in order to return to Earth. This special resource of belief is mined on the Internet.

"Then the Third Age has inherited the technology they left behind through some means, and also traveled to other planes to collect faith... What about Taoism, does it also originate from other universes?"

"No, Zhang Daoling is one of our own." Hephaestus said with a look of admiration, "He is my idol. He is completely self-taught. Although the method of using faith is crude and primitive, it is still very inspiring for our research to this day. "
