Doomsday Wonderland

Han Suiping is both quick-witted and organized. Even though his thoughts were thrown into confusion by the surprise, he quickly sorted out a few questions that needed answers: First, where are the Twelve Realms?

"Many evolvers in the past, in twelve places with relatively low difficulty of survival, established an order similar to human society..."

A woman in a white suit was sitting on the sofa and explained to the male host next to her. The host leaned his arms on the table and seemed to be very interested in this topic: "Oh, it's the 'Twelve Realms' mentioned in your book, right?"

"That's right." The woman turned her head and smiled at the camera. Her makeup was exquisite, like a movie actress. "As for me, I have lived in six of them..."

The video titled "Friday Night Interview No. 1002 guest evolution Shang Wan talks about the Twelve Realms" has reached this point and is stuck again.

Han Suiping looked at the remaining half hour of the video and sighed secretly. If he finished buffering this video bit by bit, he wouldn't be able to sit there until tomorrow morning? But from this search result, he has already grasped the most important information: it turns out that the twelve worlds are related to the evolvers, and they are the twelve human societies established by the latter.

Why not say country, but "human society"? Where was it established? If someone established a new country, why is there no news at all in the country?

Han Suiping had vaguely known about the existence of evolvers from the Internet before, but to be honest, he was so excited the first two times he went online that even his memory was a blur of excitement. In addition, he suddenly seemed like an illiterate. It was like being thrown into a library. The various concepts, common sense, and information to be mastered were countless and dazzling. In the limited opportunities, he did not spend time on the Evolver.

So the second question is, what exactly is an evolver?

In the search box, he entered "evolver".

There are nearly 10 million search results that pop up this time. Of course, he now knows that not every search result is worth looking at. From the first few pages onwards, the relevance of the search results will become less and less. On the first search result, he carefully right-clicked and squinted to find "Open in new web page" - he was now quite familiar with this thing called a browser.

The first result is an advertisement.

Really, the word AD was clearly written on it... However, Han Suiping couldn't bear to read the advertisement. After lingering for a few seconds, he remembered that business was important. The panic and despair of having just been killed by mistake seemed to be slowly washed away when he opened the webpage - he knew rationally that he was saving himself, and he should be nervous and scared, but in fact he couldn't help but enjoy the online content. every second.

The cold night wind, the rhythmic sound of the waves, the pale light of the mobile phone flashlight, the dead people in the 2004 room... The moment he hid under the blanket and secretly looked at the computer screen was like magic, making him feel that he would never forget it. Lost.

He opened many results in succession. The first one under the advertisement was a website called World Encyclopedia. The entry for "Evolver" said:

Survivors from other human worlds destroyed by the apocalypse (see the entry on the apocalypse).

He opened the entry on the apocalyptic world and continued reading while waiting for it to buffer.

Race: The evolutionaries that have appeared so far are similar to the racial composition of our world.

Ability: In order to cope with the drastic changes in the apocalyptic world, evolvers have generated different abilities, similar to superpowers (refer to the entry on superpowers). After they come to this world, their abilities will gradually begin to degrade, and they will completely lose them in a few months, and they will no longer be different from us. This is also the basis for evolvers to integrate into society and live together in the future.

Recognition: In the absence of surface signs, only evolved individuals (including those that have completely degenerated) can identify each other.

Because the abilities of evolvers may be dangerous, when it is necessary to persuade and control new evolvers who have just been teleported (refer to the entry on teleportation), the evolvers currently living in this world generally do this job. Being able to be recognized by the other party becomes a vital part of the job.

Help and management: Countries now generally have special management departments for evolvers, with a high proportion of evolvers employees. It can basically be divided into several sub-departments such as "Contact, Negotiation and Registration (refer to the negotiation entry)", "Help, Education, Integration and Welfare System", "Later Return Visit Survey of Evolvers", "Technical Research in Cooperation with Evolvers", etc. .

History and Controversy: It is unknown when the Evolvers first appeared. In the early days after the Evolutionaries were discovered, there were several waves of curiosity to fear in various countries, and the subsequent "Dark Ages" (refer to the Dark Ages entry) lasted for ten years. During this period, the evolved ones sent here were all closely monitored from all aspects. After their abilities began to degrade, they were suppressed and exterminated by various countries' military forces, and even tortured and experimented on humans.

The turning point came unexpectedly during a movement for same-sex marriage rights thirty years ago (see the Hackel protest entry), and the issue of evolution received public scrutiny for the first time. Since the inhumane treatment they suffered was exposed to the public eye, the movement to fight for the rights of evolved people and the charitable organizations that help evolved people have never stopped. However, there are still voices expressing opposition to the acceptance of evolved people. Opponents mainly believe that even evolved people who have lost their abilities have unpredictable intentions because their origin experience is different from that of humans in this world and may cause social unrest.

... Han Suiping stared at the computer screen motionless, feeling that the amount of information was too large and he could hardly keep up.

Did these things really happen in history? He had never heard of Harkel or the Dark Ages. Judging from that advertisement, "Lin Sanjiu" is obviously one of the evolvers, which means there are also evolvers in his country... How come he never knew about it before? Also, can same-sex people get married? Then, isn't that all messed up? Forget it, he, a murderer and Internet criminal, doesn't seem qualified to say that.

The page is very long, and there are many explanations below, including "important events in history", "people who may be evolvers in history", "means to delay the degradation of abilities as much as possible", "research progress in cooperation with evolvers" "etc. He also specifically read a piece of "Identification Principles for New Teleportation Evolvers."

"New teleportation evolvers are easier to identify. They will suddenly appear in a place, and their clothing, overall condition, appearance, etc. are all obviously different from the locals. They mistakenly believe that the world will also encounter the end in six months. , so their behaviors will show certain similarities, such as asking people for social knowledge, trying to hoard supplies, etc. (refer to the entry on New Teleportation Evolvers)."

"In principle, the Evolution Department does not recommend that the public approach the newly teleported evolvers rashly. An effective method is that when they witness a person who may be a newly teleported evolver, the public should immediately alert the local evolution department. Many evolvers There are emergency reporting channels for sightings on the ministry’s official website, and you can also notify the Ministry of Evolution through local hotlines, mobile apps, and social networking accounts.”

As expected, they can access the Internet at any time... Han Suiping said with emotion.

"...At the same time, do not take the initiative to contact him, do not avoid face-to-face communication (you can avoid it if you are not noticed), continue to pay attention to the alarm, and cooperate to meet the requirements of the new evolution within the allowed range. If you encounter a dangerous situation, please call Danger call from the local Evolutionary Department. When the newly teleported Evolutionary is under control, the alarm is lifted."

"Generally speaking, new teleportation evolvers believe that a stable and safe modern society is good for their recuperation and replenishment, so they rarely take the initiative to carry out large-scale destruction. However, when they do commit criminal acts, the evolvers After he is under control, the ministry will work with the local prosecutors to prosecute him and subject him to trial (refer to Evolutionary Crime and related legal terms)."

Pulling it all the way to the bottom, he saw this paragraph.

“After decades of hard work and progress, the ‘evolutionary issue’ has gradually become an economic issue and a human rights issue, rather than a major social security issue. Unfortunately, when countries generally need to work together, due to different philosophies, the world's largest country with the largest land area, largest population, and strongest economic and military power is not on the list of signatories of the International Evolutionary Convention. Since the more people there are, the greater the chance of evolutionaries appearing, so we still don’t know how many evolutionaries appear there and what they encounter. "

...There seems to be no need to look at these.

What Han Suiping wants to know most is whether he can also go to the Twelve Realms, because he has no place to stay. But now it seems that the Twelve Realms are not on this planet at all.

Then how can "Lin Sanjiu" go back? Take a spaceship? Wouldn’t that be science fiction?

No, no, Lin Sanjiu said that he could communicate through paper cranes, so the third question should be: How can he use paper cranes to persuade the other party to take him to the Twelve Realms with him?

Paper crane, what exactly is it?

He entered the two keywords "evolver" and "paper crane" and soon found the message he wanted on the second page - a personal account from a social networking site.

"This is what we evolved people used to communicate with each other. It's called a paper crane. It looks cute, right?" Underneath the short paragraph was a picture of a white paper crane. "Now that it will no longer be usable, I suddenly feel a little sad."

Han Suiping was excited and quickly looked at the release time.

It was issued last Friday - well, maybe the paper crane can still be used?

Han Suiping looked at it and found that the avatar was that of a beautiful girl named "Hami Melon and I are incompatible" with tens of thousands of followers - the combined population of other countries in the world is not as large as his own, so this number is considered very large. . She is obviously an evolver, and it seems that her abilities have not completely degraded now.

But the paper crane was overseas, so it was useless for him to see it... He turned over it again.

"Hami Melon and I are incompatible" seems to be an employee of a local evolution department. A few months ago, he posted a message: "I'm about to leave. There seems to be a new person in the southwest area of ​​Wenxian. Everyone who lives nearby should pay attention!" "There are many messages from fans wishing her good luck and safety.

In addition to work, UU reads www.uukanshu.net. She also likes to post some small animals, delicious food and selfies. Occasionally there are some sad ones, which are all about the pain of struggling to survive in the past, and they often get a lot of comfort. Judging from the status of her post, it seems that the probability of a new teleportation evolver appearing is not high. From time to time, some people even leave messages questioning: "Your work is so easy and there are so many employees in the department. Isn't it a waste of public money?"

Since the other party is a member of the maintenance of public security... shouldn't he tell the other party that he just killed someone, right?

Han Suiping hesitated for a long time, really not knowing what other options he had. He had reached a dead end, but if he had to bow his head and confess like this, he felt that every cell in his body was unwilling to give in. After much deliberation, he finally plucked up the courage to send her a private message, of course, hiding the fact about the dead person. He estimated that the other party wouldn't see it right away. Now that it was getting dark again, he closed the computer and carefully left the deck.

The next night, Han Suiping saw the reply.

The first one is: "Are you kidding me? Are there really evolved people in that place?"

The second message after a long time was: "I raised this situation with the department today. We decided to give Lin Sanjiu paper cranes." Doomsday Paradise
