Chapter 207 Hilda’s Origin
Hearing Hilda's question, Hao Ren smiled: "You mean Betsy? She is our companion, just a companion when we are active in 'this world'. She is not very clear about some of our things, so There were some things that I couldn’t tell you directly when I met you this afternoon.”
As Hao Ren spoke, he stood up and came to Hilda and extended his hand in a friendly manner: "Let me introduce you again, Hao Ren, the reviewer of the Time and Space Administration, is responsible for all kinds of abnormal time travel events."
Hilda still clumsily grabbed Hao Ren's wrist and shook it up and down, with a curious look on her face: "Space-Time Management Bureau? What is that? What is the name of your research institution?"
Hao Ren felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He was thinking of being so awesome and trying to trick someone into signing up as a surprise, but he forgot about the cultural differences. It seemed that empiricism can really kill people. He laughed dryly and explained to the other party: "Actually, like you, I am not from this world - and the difference between me and you is that you ended up here accidentally, but I took the initiative to run around and dealt with things like An accidental lost person like you. The so-called Space-Time Management Bureau is..."
Hao Ren told the other party the concepts of the Space-Time Management Bureau and the Macro World as simply and clearly as possible. The more Hilda listened, the more surprised she became. When Hao Ren finished speaking, she couldn't help but stand up: "Are you serious?!"
Vivian spread her hands beside her: "There's no need to lie to you."
Hilda seemed a little confused. Although she had just experienced the time-travel incident, she never thought that there would be such a relevant department that specializes in time-travel management. She looked at Hao Ren with doubts in her eyes. She was obviously half-convinced, even if She would never believe Hao Ren's words no matter how outrageous they were. Of course, Hao Ren also knows that the credibility of his empty words is very limited. He is just following what the work manual says: when facing the client, when the conditions are right, he should identify himself as soon as possible and explain the subsequent work requirements, so as to Ensure that follow-up work is carried out with the knowledge of both parties. It's up to the parties to believe it or not, it's just part of the work process.
"This is the situation," Hao Ren explained his identity and sat down opposite Hilda, "You may not be able to believe it for a while, but you only need to know one thing: we are neither relatives nor friends and have no enmity. , so there is no need to make up such a big lie to fool you. We are here to perform other tasks this time. It is unexpected to meet a time traveler like you, but when we go back, we will take you to the organization's office, where there is Professional equipment can take you home...well, if my boss didn't bluff, she should be well-equipped."
Hilda was still confused, but she at least knew that now was not the time to get into the minutiae. Instead of being pointlessly suspicious, it was better to cooperate with this group of somewhat credible strangers in front of her. She nodded: "I still don't know what the Space-Time Management Bureau you are talking about is... but I am willing to believe in your goodwill. As long as you can send me back, no matter what you need me to do."
"Actually, there's nothing to do. This is my job," Hao Ren waved his hand, "If you have to say it... just be honest and tell me how you got here. At least I know how to write this report."
Hilda hesitated for a moment, but she soon realized that no matter how big a secret she had in her hometown, there was no need to keep it secret here. No one in the whole world knew her. Thinking of this, Hilda slowly took off her hood. What caught Hao Ren's eyes was not only a head of dazzling golden slightly curly long hair, but also two pointed long ears: "Hilda Vita, I come from a world called Irem, and I am the queen there."
Hao Ren's eyes fell completely on the other party's pointed ears, so much so that he realized Hilda's identity only after exclaiming: "Elf? Uh... what are you talking about, queen?"
Hilda looked at Hao Ren suspiciously: "The inspector of the Space-Time Administration seems to be a big shot. Do you need to make such a fuss? You jumped so high just now."
Hao Ren immediately sat back in his seat in embarrassment, thinking that this sister's straight-faced habits when speaking were really not acceptable to ordinary people. He touched the tip of his nose and explained sheepishly: "Ahem, elves are quite rare, and our censors are also divided into areas. There are really no elves in the area I manage..."
He was really embarrassed to admit that he was just a temporary apprentice who had never seen the world at all...
Others gathered around this time. Lily first couldn't wait to ask: "Wait a minute, you just said you were a queen! Is it true?"
"There is no need for me to make up a queen's identity for myself in this different world," Hilda's mouth showed a slight arc, "especially when this identity can't even bring me a piece of dry food."
Lily thought for a while, then her tail suddenly raised up: "Big shot!"
Vivian pushed Lily away impatiently: "Don't rub your tail, it will shed your hair and get all over me."
Hao Ren asked the restless duo around him to calm down, and looked at Hilda with a slight apology: "Don't mind, they are usually crazy like this. Now tell me about you, how did you get here?"
Hilda glanced at Hao Ren and slowly lowered her eyes: "I was sent here because of a portal accident. Our planet is on the verge of depletion. In order to find a new home for our species to survive, we built a huge Space-time accelerator, but something went wrong after the device was started."
Hilda said this, and did not continue. Of course, she just said that no matter how many details were in front of the group of people, they would not be able to understand it. After all, it was a matter in another world.
Hao Ren nodded, but he suddenly thought of a question: Did Hilda really come from another world? Is it possible it's from another planet?
No matter what, he has been to space and alien planets, and now his way of thinking about problems is much broader than before. At this time, he remembered a sentence he saw in the work manual: Many "travelers" have insufficient knowledge reserves. Or people with limited self-identification methods mistakenly judge that they have come to a different world, but in many cases they just come to another planet in the universe, because it is easier to teleport within the universe than between worlds, so this misjudgment accounts for the majority of cases. The vast majority.
"I know what you mean." Hilda heard Hao Ren's question and took out a delicate small disc from her underwear as if she had expected it. "This is a device that can observe background radiation. Our astrologer believes that the background radiation of space and the underlying structure of matter are the 'standard codes' that determine the identity of a universe. At first, I also doubted whether I had been transported to a different planet in the same universe. In this case, our portal would be from another planet. In a sense, it was considered a success, but after simple observation, I found... Although it is unbelievable, I should be in another universe. For some reason, the basic physical laws of this universe are almost the same as my hometown, but the background The significant difference in radiation made me realize that I was indeed in a different world."
Hilda said, smiling self-deprecatingly: "There are a group of astrologer masters who have been insisting on the theory of another world. Unfortunately, I never supported them at the royal meeting. Now think about it... If I can go back, the first thing We must bring them to the Royal Astrology Tower."
At this time, the voice of the data terminal suddenly came from behind Hao Ren: "The identification code of the world is not just as simple as background radiation, but you do come from another world - this machine just checked your information characteristics, and you have There are obvious residual traces of time travel.”
Hao Ren turned around and saw that the data terminal was floating two meters behind, but it still couldn't escape Doudou's clutches: the little mermaid was sitting upright on the data terminal, holding the two sides of the "frisbee" tightly with her little hands. When Hao Ren turned his head, the little guy waved his tail happily, but he didn't let go!
The data terminal sighed: "I have put a lot of effort into this machine, but your daughter seems to think that this machine is a mount. Do you think you can solve her world view sometime..."
"It's not heavy anyway, so just carry it on your back," Hao Ren shrugged indifferently, "You've been riding around in my pocket all day long and I haven't said anything yet."
The data terminal was about to jump suddenly, but before it could move, Hao Ren had already turned his head. The latter looked at Hilda: "Okay, I have basically understood your situation. It seems that you are indeed a combination of circumstances. I was bombed to another world by mistake. We will take you back after our mission here is completed. Don't worry, everything will be quick."
"If you really have a way, please do it as soon as possible." Hilda stood up and bowed deeply to Hao Ren without hesitation. "Before I left, our entire country was already at its limit. The explosion of the teleportation device The accident has most likely pushed my people past their psychological breaking point. Now they have no resources, no hope, and no queen. I must get back before things get worse!"
Hao Ren didn't expect that the other party would actually put down all the airs and give such a grand gift. It was the first time he encountered such a battle, and the other party was a queen. This made him subconsciously jump out of the chair and help Hilda up in a hurry: "Okay. Okay, okay, I'll do it as soon as possible, don't do this, I can't accept it..."
After being comforted by Hao Ren and Vivian, Hilda calmed down again, and then sat on a chair in the corner of the room and stopped talking: now she didn't care about anything except going home, as long as she didn't talk about her hometown. , she sat next to him like a puppet.
The data terminal carried Doudou and discussed with Hao Ren and the others on the other side: "This situation is actually quite rare. The technical difficulty of traveling through the void is higher than you think. She can be blasted to the dream position by a low-energy teleportation device. Now... I think there are a lot of things worthy of investigation."
"Then we have to investigate after we get home," Hao Ren nodded, "Now let's figure out how to get to the middle of the lake at night..."
