This was Hanna, a confident, good looking yet an introvert girl. She was friendly but did not have much friends. She was intelligent but never spoke much. She was funny, but did not laugh much. It was probably due to her toxic upbringing that she had built walls arround herself, not letting anybody know her so well. It was only her best friend Lilly, who actually knew who Hanna was in reality. 

Hanna did love her mother a lot, that is why she chose to wear her best creation for today. Her mother did not have time or perhaps did not consider the 'Writer's event' to be important, so Hanna instead wore her mother's creation to feel her presence.

This event was supposed to be the biggest annual even of the United States of America, where only the most reputable and famous authors and tycoons were invited. Two years back in November, Hanna had started to write a scientific fiction book, involving a vast virus, which takes over the entire globe, killing millions of people. And now, the book was already number one selling in America, and was soon planned to be published by her publishing house, in several languages all across the globe. Hanna had dreamt about this virus in her dream two years ago and the next morning, she already found herself writing a scientific love story about the virus.

While the entire world was busy fighting the dangerous coronavirus, a young writer found her love during her time in Quarantine by chance! 

Will the story end up with a tragic ending or is their still any hope for the two...?

A simple and short love story, which will keep you engrossed at the time of isolation!

Death marks the final stage of life. From a scientific standpoint, it is when one's cells stop regenerating; one's mind is no longer in control of the body. But what happens after? Is that it? If nothing is left of us after we die and we all end up dying anyway, then why do we exist in the first place? Those are the questions we ask each other and ourselves, the questions that we most desire to be answered. And yet, the answers remain unknown, inaccessible to the living.
With no forms of science nor technologies, to help us comprehend or to even grasp a single piece of the puzzle to unlocking its mysteries, theories are as accurate and reliable as it goes. 
Popular belief tends to view death as an escape from the harshness of reality or a process of losing everything one has ever obtained. I, however, do not fall into either category. 
To me, death is a road that both extends to anywhere and nowhere: a pathway of possibilities. The outcome could be good or bad, positive or negative, a step forward or a step back; who knows? What I do know is that I for one, am content with exactly how everything is at this very moment. I like to stay alive if I can. 
That, dear readers, is precisely the theme of this story and the message I intend on conveying by sharing this particular fiction with you. My wish for you is to live life to the fullest and to be able to enjoy all of it... Every day, every hour, every second. 

As you are aware, we all meet our ends eventually. But what if one was granted a second chance? What if instead of the ultimate ending, his death wasn't the end, but a new beginning, with a fresh chapter that silently awaits for this remarkable individual. No, not just another chapter, another novel is what it really is. A spin-off from his previous life and everything he ever was. 
And that is where the story begins.

18-year-old Jax was gunned down one September evening. Having his major arteries severed, death was minutes away.
But just before it all faded to black, a miracle found him; he had been reborn on that very same night.

(*Note: The supernatural element in this novel is very strong, therefore readers could expect an abundance of otherworldly beings through the pages).

Setting: The story is set to take place in three different realms. Within these realms are a great variety of supernatural beings, divided into five clans. The Earth itself is the first realm; home to both the Vampire Clan and the Shapeshifter Clan. It is the largest of the three. Elf Clan resides in the Elven Realm. It is where fruits are ripe and flowers bloom year-round. Sapphire Realm is inhabited by Mer Clan. Other than a few dozen small islands, the rest of the realm is underwater, making much of the world appear blue and thus giving it its name.

Clans: 
Vampire Clan - Supernatural beings that were previously humans, possess extraordinary strength, speed, stamina, and reflexes. However, keep in mind that most of them will not be portrayed as bloodthirsty fiends in this novel. 

Shapeshifter Clan - Creatures that are able to transform themselves from humans to animals and vice versa. The Shapeshifter Clan is the largest of the clans. Despite most of its members being werewolves...Wereboars and werebears are not uncommon either. 

Mer Clan - The original mermaids; although there are mermen as well. All Mers have an acute sense of vision and the capability to see extremely well in the dark. Their diet consists of mostly fish and other aquatic creatures. 

Elf Clan - The elves are known for their elegance, generosity, humility, and hospitality. They are the creators of art, music, and dance and are the most sophisticated of all beings. Anyone lucky enough to stumble upon the Elven Realm will wish to stay there for eternity. 

Dragon Clan - Both the most powerful and most mysterious clan. Dragon Clan is the rarest race within the three realms. There are only dozens of dragons in existence, scattered among the worlds. Each one of them, however, possesses an extraordinary ability. The dragons never remain in one place for long. They are the only clan that travels from realm to realm at will.

money, coins in 1000, 500, 100 dinars from an alloy of copper and nickel, about 10 and paper notes in 100,000 dichrums. The rate was 300 dichrums for 1 US dollar.

A couple of sweets, a pencil, a notebook, a digital action camera. And a portable quadrocopter with a coil for finding metals. The latest development of the Chinese company "Li-Ban Company LTD." A quadcopter equipped with a coil for searching non-ferrous metals and iron was intended for treasure hunting in hard-to-reach areas. And also had a fundamentally new 5D scanner, which allows spectral ranges to find non-ferrous metal in soil and soil under water. Also, the quadcopter could hook search magnets to everything in 160 kg and 300 kg. Using new composite materials and a new generation motor, a small quadcopter could lift the payload to 560 kg and fly without recharging the batteries for 8 hours. The new technology, still being tested, was a test sample. With the self-blowing function, if someone wanted to see his chips and other nodes. The modern world was so simple and complex at the same time!

It seems I skidded in the wrong direction, Dara thought.

But alright, you need to go down to the valley ... and there, on the ground, find out what and how.

I do not believe in all these fantastic nonsense about moving and sliding into parallel universes!

And how can I get from the 21st century to hell knows what century and era, it's just not possible, not scientific, it's bullshit, that is, frank nonsense!

It's one thing to watch manga, the second to read a short story, but in reality it's schizoid garbage! This cannot be the point!

If you think logically, I just put in my "bowler" well and temporarily chopped off. Maybe fainted or maybe fell asleep. The main thing is to wake up in time! And for this you need to apparently complete some kind of quest in this state!

As Carlos Castaneda said, and by the way, you don't know him? Does he look like Sri Arubindo Ghosh? The same revolutionary who rejected the path of violence and became the founder of Integral Yoga! And who is Castaneda? This is ... Carlos Sesar Salvador Aranya Castaneda - American writer, Ph.D. in anthropology, ethnographer, extract from Wikipedia. Well, his works came to us from the Second Empire, and from a scientific journal ... in short, he said that you can "control your sleep." And indeed it is possible!

So, let's manage this state here too! hey subconscious, where are you?

- ahh, I'm here, what do you need older?

ABOUT! Are you here system

- The system? Now I ran! What the hell system? This is not myths and fiction for you, this is a new universe!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaah! I do not understand anything!

"Why understand?" Your head is attached to the magic rail, in other words, you have a concussion! And your mental consciousness is separated from the body. Have you already had the same? Is not it so? In the university years? What about Dara? Do not remember?

YES! Are you right or are you right?

- Right? Right! I am the mental dryness of your soul. I generally IT!

- Well, remember? Ah, said the subconscious tiredly.

Yes! I remember! I became interested in the Zen practices of Chan Buddhism, and left during medical treatment for 30 minutes in Nirvana!

And it seems that I was first mixed up around the city and then went into a pillar of energy like a space elevator, it pulled me into an unfamiliar universe!

But I thought, then, that it's just stress, fatigue, accumulated after cramming three volumes of the History of the Ancient World, with a total of 5600 pages! And I thought that temporarily, my brain turned off and I fell asleep and I had a wonderful dream!


- No, no, you did not disconnect and it was not a dream, you were transported to another world. As you know, there are 22,000 worlds. Just humanity does not have access to them.

Yes, I know that there are 22,000 worlds. Interestingly, that is, my mental essence is now right in one of these worlds?

- Well, like that ... this one of the worlds, just the Earth, only during the Late Holocene period, its final phase, namely the period of Antiquity! Only not 589 BC, as you thought, but 05 AD ...

- So, welcome to the world that you just read about, now you can live and feel it with all the fibers of the soul!

And if I step on a butterfly?

- Uh, this is not science fiction, this is not Ray Bradbury ... step on, eat tours, make a kebab of pseudopods, endemic of the 21st century, listed in the Red Book, and here you knife to enjoy them, they are teeming with them!

This is great, although I don't really like fish, but if there are a lot of fish, sturgeon, then why not try it ?!

By the way, you didn't answer. Are you in charge here?

- No, as in all worlds ...

Clear. But can I call for something here?

- Sure! No problem! This is here your only mental essence! In fact, your body is now lying on the carpet, on the floor you are off. So have fun while you have the opportunity!

COMPLETED

The Silk Road ... it is inevitable the emergence of wells, caravanserais, guard fortresses, postal stations, local bazaars, regional bazaars, the emergence of new jobs:
- robbers (there were whole settlements)
- caravan guards
- changed
- merchants

Just about them and will be discussed.


About their life, tricks.

Alas, English is still the same ... there are mistakes, I am sure of it.

I hope over time I will be able to fix them.

I just wanted to share information about such an interesting topic as the history of the development of the Silk Road.

This is a work of art. Any resemblance to real people or real events is purely coincidental.

On a well developed city called Paseo, there's a young guy who is really excited to get on college. He is a Bachelor of Science Major in Applied Physics student. He really wants to change the world that he tried to make an innovation that he thinks his life will get better. He is 5 feet tall, with white skin, good looking guy with braces on teeth, he is also wearing glasses. He tried to invent a floating car before but it didn't work. 

It's now 6am in the morning. He wake up and stretch his body. He was so excited in his first day of class. He is really optimistic and wants to know how many things he will learn today.


"Hi, Mom!" Dane said. "Dane, why are you so early? you're first class is 8am?" her mom said.

"Mom, I'm just want to be the earliest student in class. I like to know what's the room looks like hahaha" he replied.


He finish his breakfast, a soft creamy egg omelette with sweet and good hot chocolate. He takes a bath and exact 6:30 am, he ride on a luxurious car going to Paseo State University. 

"Sir Dane, its rush hour, there's a heavy traffic right now, this is a great idea to go on school early." His driver said. 

"Yeah, I will not let myself be late on my first class" he replied.

His family is rich. His dad have own hospital and a well-known Neurologist. He is living on a luxurious life that he is able to get what he wants. Even though he was rich, Dane is so humble. He always listen to his dad's advise. " Be thankful on what you have and learn to put yourself on the other person's shoes"

"We are here now, sir David. Goodluck on your first day!" Driver said. "Thank you, I hope this day will be a great day!" Dane replied.

He is 16 years old right now. Full of positivity, full of hope, hungry for knowledge and wants to be a greatest phycisist in the future.

~~ Class Started~~

After he finished attending two classes, he is now attending on his General Physics class. 

"Guys, before we end our class, I just want to share with you a trivia. Do you know that we have electricity in our body?" Professor Clin said.

Students is talking each other and Dane is thinking what his professor said.

"It is produced when a positive and negative atom is out of balanced. Human skin and hair has it and it can accumulated electric charges, can you guess what is it?" Professor said with a smile in his face.

" I think I've read about it before but I can't recall it. Did you know that Dane?" Biston said. He is Dane's classmate. A long hair guy that loves to play guitar. He also love science that he created a scientific security system on his house. They became friends immediately when they find out that they have same interest in science.

" I don't know either" Dane replied. 


Professor Clin: "that's static electricity! I just found it interesting to tell you guys. "


Some students amazed on that facts.  While other students is talking each other about these facts, one student raised her hands and ask the professor. " Professor Clin, do you believe in alchemy?"



" If you will ask me, I believe in the fact that alchemy has been a part of philosophy and science from the past century. One of its main purpose is, to covert materials into a noble element like gold. To find a universal elixir as well. It is seemingly a magical process of transformation." professor said.


"What is that universal elixir Professor?" Dane asked.


"Well... It's the philosopher's stone. They believe that you can have an eternal life using it" he replied.


Dane became interested on alchemy and wants to know more about it. After that day, he started searching about this matter and see if it was true, especially about the universal elixir or philosopher's stone.

A young guy who is able to transform any element material into a gold and mold any solid material for battle. He is looking for the elixir that has been made many centuries ago. Is he able to find it? Is this guy is a true alchemist?

(This intermission is all about what people from Earth think about the Multiverse. All words that have been written here are real, so don't doubt their credibilty.)
The multiverse, also known as a maniverse, megaverse, metaverse, omniverse, or meta-universe, is a hypothetical group of multiple universes.
Together, these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them.
The different universes within the multiverse are called "parallel universes", "other universes", "alternate universes", or "alterverses".
***********
Multiple universes have been hypothesized in cosmology, physics, astronomy, religion, philosophy, transpersonal psychology, music and all kinds of literature, particularly in science fiction, comic books and fantasy.
In these contexts, parallel universes are also called "alternate universes", "quantum universes", "interpenetrating dimensions", "parallel universes", "parallel dimensions", "parallel worlds", "parallel realities", "quantum realities", "alternate realities", "alternate timelines", "alternate dimensions" and "dimensional planes".
The American philosopher and psychologist William James used the term "multiverse" in 1895, but in a different context. The term was first used in fiction and in its current physics context by Michael Moorcock in his 1963 SF Adventures novella The Sundered Worlds. 
************
The physics community has debated the various multiverse theories over time. Prominent physicists are divided about whether any other universes exist outside of our own.
Some physicists say the multiverse is not a legitimate topic of scientific inquiry.
Concerns have been raised about whether attempts to exempt the multiverse from experimental verification could erode public confidence in science and ultimately damage the study of fundamental physics.
Some have argued that the multiverse is a philosophical notion rather than a scientific hypothesis because it cannot be empirically falsified.
***************
In Dublin in 1952, Erwin Schrödinger gave a lecture in which he jocularly warned his audience that what he was about to say might "seem lunatic".
He said that when his equations seemed to describe several different histories, these were "not alternatives, but all really happen simultaneously".
In 2007, Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg suggested that if the multiverse existed, "the hope of finding a rational explanation for the precise values of quark masses and other constants of the standard model that we observe in our Big Bang is doomed, for their values would be an accident of the particular part of the multiverse in which we live."
****************
Scientists such as Stephen M. Feeney analyzed Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data and claimed to find evidence suggesting that our universe collided with other universes in the distant past.
However, a more thorough analysis of data from the WMAP and from the Planck satellite, which has a resolution 3 times higher than WMAP, did not reveal any statistically significant evidence of such a bubble universe collision.
In addition, there was no evidence of any gravitational pull of other universes on ours. 
*************
In his 2003 New York Times opinion piece, "A Brief History of the Multiverse", author and cosmologist Paul Davies offered a variety of arguments that multiverse theories are non-scientific:.
George Ellis, writing in August 2011, provided a criticism of the multiverse, and pointed out that it is not a traditional scientific theory.
He accepts that the multiverse is thought to exist far beyond the cosmological horizon. He emphasized that it is theorized to be so far away that it is unlikely any evidence will ever be found.
Ellis also explained that some theorists do not believe the lack of empirical testability falsifiability is a major concern, but he is opposed to that line of thinking:
Ellis says that scientists have proposed the idea of the multiverse as a way of explaining the nature of existence. 
He points out that it ultimately leaves those questions unresolved because it is a metaphysical issue that cannot be resolved by empirical science. He argues that observational testing is at the core of science and should not be abandoned.
**********************
Max Tegmark and Brian Greene have devised classification schemes for the various theoretical types of multiverses and universes that they might comprise.
Level IV: Ultimate ensemble: The ultimate mathematical universe hypothesis is Tegmark's own hypothesis.
This level considers all universes to be equally real which can be described by different mathematical structures.
 Level III: Many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics: Hugh Everett III's many-worlds interpretation (MWI) is one of several mainstream interpretations of quantum mechanics.
In brief, one aspect of quantum mechanics is that certain observations cannot be predicted absolutely. Instead, there is a range of possible observations, each with a different probability.
According to the MWI, each of these possible observations corresponds to a different universe.
Suppose a six-sided die is thrown and that the result of the throw corresponds to a quantum mechanics observable. All six possible ways the die can fall correspond to six different universes.

Level II: Universes with different physical constants: In the eternal inflation theory, which is a variant of the cosmic inflation theory, the multiverse or space as a whole is stretching and will continue doing so forever, but some regions of space stop stretching and form distinct bubbles . Such bubbles are embryonic level I multiverses.
Different bubbles may experience different spontaneous symmetry breaking, which results in different properties, such as different physical constants. Related to the many-worlds idea are Richard Feynman's multiple histories interpretation and H. Dieter Zeh's many-minds interpretation.
Level I: An extension of our universe: A prediction of cosmic inflation is the existence of an infinite ergodic universe, which, being infinite, must contain Hubble volumes realizing all initial conditions.
Accordingly, an infinite universe will contain an infinite number of Hubble volumes, all having the same physical laws and physical constants. In regard to configurations such as the distribution of matter, almost all will differ from our Hubble volume.
However, because there are infinitely many, far beyond the cosmological horizon, there will eventually be Hubble volumes with similar, and even identical, configurations. Tegmark estimates that an identical volume to ours should be about 1010115 meters away from us.
This follows directly from the cosmological principle, wherein it is assumed that our Hubble volume is not special or unique.


After all the things that he had done in his life, Alex realized that it was already his time to die. 

But a sudden encounter with a weird person will turn his whole life around.

	The sound of the music box was replaced by a heavy silence. The people recorded might've been from another species, but the fear inherent in a child’s keening for her parent was something that was instinctual. The child’s mewling understandably pulled a few heartstrings. 
	10 seconds later, Yao Yuan said firmly, "Alright, let’s all first collect our feelings. I know what we’ve heard is difficult to stomach, but we need to understand that this might have happened thousands of years ago… It shouldn’t weigh us down. If anything, we should be that much more wary if we don’t want the devastation that happened in the recording to happen to us."
	Yao Yuan continued, in a measured voice, "Continue analyzing this music box. I want to know everything there is to know about this music box. There is no detail that is too small."
	Before Yao Yuan could finish, a scientist stepped forth. "Captain, it is my belief that this music box is no less valuable than say a weapon blueprint or a computer chip. Of course, we need more analysis to be precise, but for starters, this music box has an incredibly powerful battery.
	"As you’ve said, this music box might be from thousands of years ago, but as we’ve seen for ourselves, it’s still fully functional. The only plausible rationale is that it is supported by a powerful battery, and the battery itself must be small, because the whole music box is only so big. With that theory in mind, one can’t help but draw a parallel to the lights emanating from the spaceship carcasses. Why do you think the lights on the spaceship pieces are still functional?"
	Yao Yuan turned back to the music box and concluded, "Yes, a small power system that could store an impressive amount of energy for an extended period of time. That would be a valuable technology for us to learn… What else?"
	With fear of being overshadowed, another scientist came forth and uttered excitedly, "Captain, there is also a small software program that we could study. Even though we already have a certain degree of mastery over sound-operated technology, there are still ways to go until we reach perfection. For example, we can turn lights on and off using our voices, but that is limited by volume and accents. Furthermore, because this function is directed by a written software program, the intended device has to be connected to a computer."
	Pointing at the music box, he continued, "Our analysis showed that the sound trigger for this music box is not influenced by conventional nuances like volume. It also responds to recorded clapping sounds. Such high sensitivity could only be explained by the presence of a highly effective sound recognition program. In other words, there exists a computer within this fist-sized object, one that is as powerful as our common home PC!"
	Yao Yuan started to view the music box in a new light. He was surprised to realize that this unassuming object of a child’s fist-size could harbor so many valuable technological marvels. He couldn’t help but feel delighted at the discovery. 
	"The technology for this civilization is, as expected, far more advanced than ours, but…" Yao Yuan hesitated before adding, "These are imaginable technologies… They’re not science fiction-esque technologies like the ones on U…" he caught himself and coughed, "Like the ones we have on the Hope, like the space-warping and anti-gravitational technologies."
	Yao Yuan almost blurted out the word ‘UFO,’ but thankfully he was quick to realize his mistake, because most of the people in the room had no inkling of its existence. 
	A girl among the scientists caught Yao Yuan’s verbal faux pas, and that girl was Bo Li. She narrowed her eyes at Yao Yuan as if admonishing him for almost accidentally spilling top secret information. Cornered into an uncomfortable position, Yao Yuan hacked out a few dry coughs. 
	In an attempt to divert attention, Bo Li said, "Further analysis could be done on this music box’s structural construction, raw materials, and even internal circuits. This reminds me. The metallic planks that Captain brought back were identified as a type of feather-weight alloy. Its light weight aside, it also has a tensile strength and melting point that is greater than all known metals. We’ve only managed to melt a tiny section of it by using plasma rays. We’ve learned of its empirical formula, but we still can’t manufacture this alloy because its atomic arrangement is one that we’re not familiar with."
	Recovered from his previous faux pas, Yao Yuan continued after some serious consideration. "Then could anyone ballpark for me how far ahead is this civilization’s technology from ours? We don’t need to go into something as detailed as how many years because too many factors could play into that, so describe it instead in terms of revolution. This civilization would represent which of our industrial revolutions?"
	"The fourth!"
	"The end of the fourth revolution!"
	"The middle of the fourth…"
	"The early fifth…"
	There were multiple answers, but they fell within the general duration from the late middle of the fourth industrial revolution to the cusp of the fifth. 
	Yao Yuan had studied plenty of scientific treatises ever since he got on the Hope, but he was ultimately not a trained scientist, so he asked, "Why are all of you so sure? Is there a huge difference between the end of the fourth revolution to the start of the fifth that there needs a distinction? Also, could such a huge fleet of warships really be created during the fourth revolution?"
	The leading scientist, Silewei, stepped forth to answer. "Captain, to understand all that, you first have to fix a misconception, one about industrial revolution… First, did you know that the advancement from the 20th century to the early 21st century is several hundred times greater than the total scientific advancement for the whole history of humanity? And the scientific progress achieved in the 10 years after the start of the 3rd revolution was about 100 times greater than the progress accumulated by man throughout both the first and second industrial revolutions?
	"Industrial or scientific revolutions are scientific progress calculated in exponential and not incremental increase. For example, if the first revolution is represented by the multiplier of 1, the second revolution would not be 2, instead it could 20 or even 200, and when it reaches the third revolution, the multiplier could be in the thousands or millions!"
	Silewei continued firmly, "Traditionally speaking, we can only predict what will happen in the next revolution. It is impossible to predict the one after that. Take the first revolution for an example, people in the 18th and 19th century couldn’t possibly imagine what things would look like in the third revolution. Important events like the moon landing, personal computers, and genetic engineering were for them stuff of science fiction. In contrast, they managed to predict the promises our second revolution would usher in, most notably being the discovery of electricity. This proves once more that my theory that man could only correctly predict the discoveries in the approaching scientific revolution but not the ones after that."
	Silewei stopped before pointing straight at the music box. "Captain, it is undeniable that this music box has opened a door for us. Instead of technologies like space-warping and anti-gravitational systems that we couldn’t wrap our heads around, this music box provides us with familiar but decidedly far more advanced technologies in fields of electrical systems, manufacturing, and computer science. This is definite proof that this alien civilization, with this music box as an example of its scientific product, is at the end of our fourth industrial revolution!"
	Yao Yuan sighed in relief. "That’s definitely good to know… I’ll be frank, I’ve been afraid the technology from this civilization would be far too advanced for us to study. Just like how it was with the space-warping technology, we couldn’t make headway into understanding it even though it is technically in our possession. That would also seriously deter our exploratory plans because its defensive system would probably be powerful enough to annihilate us with just one hit.
	So thank you for relieving me of my worries. This also confirms my suspicion that we will enter the fourth revolution after we acquire more of this civilization’s technologies. That will prove invaluable to our overall survival in space. Knowing this, I’m also less worried about sending our men into the junkyard."
	Pausing for thought, Yao Yuan breathed in and out several times before stressing adamantly, "The mission to scour the outer perimeter of the junkyard will resume tomorrow. Please do not stop with your analyses and experiments, because after we’ve acquired several more pieces of the alien product to ascertain its technological level…
	"We shall venture into one of the warship husks!"


Endless sky and infinite space, the cosmos isn’t some paradise waiting to be found, it is full of darkness and danger, death and terror of the great unknown. However, for that glittering swath of blue, we have no fear! For the longevity of men, we have no regrets! Nothing shall stand in our way because it is finally our time, our age! The age of cosmos exploration! 


Zhang Zian was not surprised to meet Peter Lee. After all, they had an appointment with the Bedouin tribe today, and Siwa was the only way to go to the Bedouin tribe. It was also their final stop.
Following behind the land cruiser were several other cars. They were identical and apparently belonged to members of the Cosmological Information Society.
"It's fine. I have to wait for the other members of the expedition team. They will still need a little while to get here." Zhang Zian shook his head, refusing.
He did not have a good impression of the members of the Cosmological Information Society. They had not done anything bad or out of the ordinary. The thing he took issue with was that they thought very differently from ordinary people. In fact, from their outer appearances, they looked more friendly than the common man. Perhaps that was the expression of those who had firm belief in their hearts.
If they met while going about their daily affairs, Zhang Zian would probably not pay them too much attention and laugh them off. In any case, they probably had nothing they needed from one another. However, when it came to entering the desert, suddenly, the personalities of one's teammates were very important.
"Are all of you going in?" he asked, counting the number of cars.
"No, there are doctors in our ranks. We had a physical examination yesterday and are leaving a few people behind—merely those with poor physical fitness. The rest of them will enter the desert together," Peter Lee said as he stuck his head out. He blew a whistle towards the cars behind them. "Come, let me use this opportunity to introduce everyone."
Six people emerged from the back of the car, five men and one woman. They were all from different countries with different skin colors. As Peter Lee had said, these six people were in their prime, both physically and mentally. 
Zhang Zian had seen them before, but he didn't know their names.
"I am a consul. I used to be in politics. Hello, comrade." A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle introduced himself. The first words he uttered were those of a high-level official. They carried the weight of one who was in power.
Zhang Zian was shocked and thought that this person was a former diplomat. Why didn't he say his name?
The other five people also spoke in the same format. They claimed to be priests, colonels, poets, and scholars. The only woman on the team claimed to be a detective.
The female detective had a temperament similar to Sun Xiaomeng, but she was about ten years older. She was most likely the doctor that Peter Lee had mentioned. Yet she claimed to be a detective. Perhaps she was responsible for searching the human body?
The other people also had characteristics similar to their self-proclaimed identities. For example, the colonel's eyes and movements indicated that he was a former soldier, and the poet had curly hair that is somewhat romantic. The scholar wore thick glasses and looked somewhat like Wei Kang. Finally, the priest was a solemn man and had an awe-inspiring look.
The strange thing was that they did not introduce themselves by their names.
The more he heard, the more Zhang Zian got confused. He was just about to ask about this, but he saw Pi quietly gesturing to him not to do so.
He had been with Pi for a long time, and Pi often asked him questions about the novel, so he was familiar with the gesture he was seeing. He saw Pi spread his hands out like a book, and its mouth parted to form a square. Pi seemed to be sending him some type of message.
Wait a minute! Consul, priest, colonel, poet, scholar, and detective. Was this peculiar combination…
It suddenly became clear to Zhang Zian. He immediately knew their intentions.
After the six introduced themselves, Peter Lee smiled quietly while observing Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian turned and looked at Peter Lee. He said quietly, "So, you must be a saint."
"Haha! Brother, you guessed it!" Peter laughed. Everyone else also smiled.
Consul, priest, colonel, poet, scholar, detective, and saint. Wasn't this the combination of the pilgrimage team in the science fiction novel Hyperion? That was quite something!
Just like the pilgrimage team in Hyperion that had gone through hardships to form the core shape of the pyramid, Peter Lee and his team used the same professions as their code names. It indicated that they had a similar purpose—to find the pyramid deep within the desert. The hope was that through their journey, they would also be able to discover the great secrets of the inverse entropy field.
Zhang Zian had a copy of this novel in his house. He had shown it to Pi before. He himself had seen it a long time ago, but if Pi had not reminded him, he may not have associated Peter Lee and his team with this science fiction novel.
He searched his memory for more information, although he had already forgotten many of the details of the novel. He only remembered that the story was set at the day before the prophecy. A team of seven, each with different statuses, identities, and experiences, got together to uncover the secrets of Zhong Guangyin.
What impressed him the most was Zhong Guangyin.
Zhong Guangyin was like a pyramid and was surrounded by inverse entropy. In the realm of time, it flowed backward instead of forward. 
In the prophecy, when the saga was over, a great sorrower would emerge from the tomb. They came from the other side of time. Their sole purpose was to declare the end of mankind.
To be honest, the narrative of this novel was somewhat difficult to understand. Its style was typical of a hardcover book: highly suitable for inducing sleep. However, it would not work as well with online literature. At the time, when he was reading the book, he had to force himself to finish it. The curiosity he had for Zhong Guangyin kept him reading till the end. However, when the pilgrims finally reached the valley where Zhong Guangyin was, the novel ended abruptly. He was furious.
He could not be bothered thereafter to read the sequels. He regretted buying a full set and wasting his money.
However, when he gave this set of books to Pi, it was originally intended to let Pi slowly pass time. However, Pi loved the novel very much and soon finished it. Pi even finished the sequels. It made Zhang Zian wonder how Pi derived so much pleasure from reading this novel.
In addition to being obscure, the novel gave Zhang Zian the feeling that Zhong Guangyin as a concept was highly unscientific. If, as described in the novel, it connected the past and the future, then what advancements in technology must the world have had to create such a thing?
Was this therefore not a hallmark of a fantasy novel?
It was just… If he was to read this novel again now, he may not make such a statement.
He glanced at the sea of stars. Things that were less scientific than Zhong Guangyin were right there in front of him. To add on the strange sunsets of yesterday evening and the experience of retribution after Richard's pee…
So if one did not see it, could one simply ignore it?
He was unable to ascertain if Zhong Guangyin truly existed. Even if it did, he was sure that if a pyramid could be found in the depths of the desert, it should merely be just an ordinary pyramid. There could be no such thing as pure universe energy and mysterious things. Peter Lee would be grossly disappointed.
