The wizard at Hogwarts is unscientific

Chapter 745 Andy: Can I not come to work?

"die……"

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

This is what I said...

Andy was a little disdainful when he heard this, "Have you lived enough?"

"currently there is not."

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

Andy sneered, "You don't even know what eternal life feels like, but you say it's 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 to survive. Others would choose to end their lives in pain and pressure.

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

The old man sighed, "Watching friends and relatives around me pass away one after another, I can only live alone in the world, living in seclusion, and dare not contact the outside world... Isn't this torture?"

At this point, the old man sighed again, "Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations. Looking at your expression, I know that I can't persuade you."

Andy raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly: "If death is inevitable, I hope that the reason for my death is 'I want to die', rather than being taken away by other people, or by time, aging, or illness."

"This is important!"

Andy knew what the old man wanted to express.

Is it painful to live alone?

Maybe!

Take Nicolas Flamel for example. If he hadn't hidden himself, countless people who wanted to live forever would have tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone, his knowledge and his wealth.

So he could only hide.

For a long time, I just live for the sake of living.

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

Day after day, year after year.

After a long time, death becomes a relief.

So, Nicolas Flamel chose death.

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

Andy longed for the former.

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

"Ah! Death..."

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

"At least……"

"That's how it is for you!"

Andy suddenly understood.

Perhaps due to his identity as a silent person, the old man could not speak frankly about some things. However, his words also indirectly confirmed Andy's guess.

——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.

By now, Andy knew a lot of secrets.

Some people say that the world may be virtual.

This statement is not entirely wrong.

Perhaps, for the higher-dimensional world, the world Andy lives in is a 'virtual world'.

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

"interesting……"

Andy suddenly chuckled.

In previous lives, humans created the online world.

But with the rapid development of the Internet, it 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 a lot of things.

and 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 a super artificial intelligence like "Ultron" appears, robots fighting against humans will not just be a movie plot.

——It will appear in reality!

"So...what am I now?"

Andy was a little curious.

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

may be!

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

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

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

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

The old man shook his head and said, "Humans can never understand things beyond their cognition."

Andy nodded slightly when he heard this.

This is the truth.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

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, Andy would of course continue his research.

After a pause, the old man suddenly asked, "Did you come here tonight just for the Big Brain Hall?"

"of course not!"

Andy glanced at the old man and said, "Unfortunately, you are a Unspoken Person and can't say anything. I can't find the reference room of the Department of Mysteries, so I can only come here to take a look."

"Um……"

"By the way! I'm researching magic to achieve immortality of the physical body. 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 I should reveal some secrets."

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

Andy was surprised and asked, "Aren't silent people allowed to speak?"

"Yes! It costs your life." The old man sighed.

Andy: "..."

"Why?" Andy raised his eyebrows.

"Collins, you'd be perfect for the Department of Mysteries."

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

"But magic depends too much on talent."

“Without talent, you can only wave a 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're different!"

"You are the most gifted wizard alive today."

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

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

Andy: "..."

"Until now, I thought you were a silent man."

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

The old man didn't care about Andy's suspicion. He turned his head and continued, "Come back 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, which can make people immortal."

The Philosopher's Stone...

Andy's eyes moved slightly.

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

The Philosopher's Stone is indeed worth studying!

After thinking for a while, Andy suddenly asked, "After joining the Department of Mysteries, can I not come to work?"

Old man: "..."
