Chapter 182 Night Talk under the Lamp

The more he understood, the more curious he became. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Have you ever seen the fragments of world memory?"

Nuomiguo shook his head: "I haven't seen it before..."

She hesitated for a moment and then said:

"I have only seen similar things - I mentioned to Mr. Yan before that Ogami and I once got a painting, and through this painting we went to Rodlan, the land of the ancient gods.

When we returned, the painting spontaneously combusted.

I can't be sure whether that painting is [Memory of the World], because I don't know the origin of that thing.

But what happened at that time was very similar to what Yanjun had experienced just now.

It is also through some kind of artifact that a channel similar to [link] is formed;

It is also in the form of spirit, going to a certain place through [link];

Also after the return, the [container] carrying the [link] destroyed itself due to overload.

But all these are just similarities. Without knowing the origin of that painting, I still don’t have enough evidence to prove that it is a fragment of the world’s memory.”

Chen Yan asked curiously: "You entered the land of the ancient gods, Rodlan, in a spiritual form."

Not a question.

Nuomiguo replied: "Yes... that was not an interesting experience. Lordran is a very dangerous place, filled with living corpses transformed from undead people who have lost their minds."

Chen Yan felt a little regretful and asked with a sense of luck: "That painting completely spontaneously combusted? No longer exists? No trace left at all?"

Nuomiguo thought of the painting and sighed: "Yes, even the ashes dissipated in the wind... Such a one-time thing is really a pity."

Chen Yan thought of what he had just experienced and completely agreed with Nuomiguo's statement.

Ogami saw that he had completely calmed down and patted his shoulder: "It's not easy."

He was referring to Chen Yan's experience just now.

Chen Yan thought of Vidya Gandhi in the mirror and said bitterly: "Actually, it's not bad."

He remembered Vidya Gandhi's diary and said to Nuomiguo: "Speaking of which, what I entered through the link this time turned out to be the head of an office worker of Walker Street Mission School."

Nuomiguo immediately cheered up: "Oh?!"

Chen Yan summarized the information he saw and said: "I looked through her diary. How should I put it? Mission schools are very unfriendly to the poor. Although you can learn some knowledge there, if you want to work-study, you have to pay.

a lot of--

For example, working at a soup kitchen in Xiacheng District until the early morning at night, or having direct contact with corner girls who have infectious diseases..."

Chen Yan hid the second half of the sentence:

For a child, that is not an easy thing.

Nuomiguo seemed to ignore his warning and asked, "What can I learn?"

Chen Yan recalled some of the information he had read from the second half of Vidya Gandhi's diary and replied:

“Advanced courses in Imperial Language;

The theological knowledge system built around the Choir’s [Holy Light] belief;

and a modicum of scientific knowledge.”

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke again: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that the four subjects of the church school entrance examination: grammar, history, eloquence, and mathematics, also have nothing to do with normal scientific knowledge.

All knowledge about the entrance exam is independent of science and is a unique knowledge system built around the Holy Light."

This result was obviously beyond Nuomiguo's expectations.

She acted quite calmly: "Is that so?

I have learned some knowledge system about Holy Light Faith before...but only a very small part.

I didn't study in depth because I felt that the knowledge was a bit strange.

The so-called [Holy Light Knowledge System] forces the use of ‘existing scientific knowledge’ to explain ‘non-scientific Holy Light miracles’.

And use proven natural scientific phenomena to prove the necessity of belief in the Holy Light.

This is really an awkward thing.

In my opinion, the entire [Holy Light Knowledge System] is a very awkward existence...

So I just had a rough understanding of it and then let it go.

I think that 'knowledge' is completely useless, and wasting time on it is tantamount to a waste of life."

Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh twice, then scratched his head and asked: "If you take the entrance exam with your current preparation..."

Nuomiguo sighed: "It must be impossible to pass."

Chen Yan comforted: "It doesn't matter, this entrance exam is not without room for maneuver..."

At this point, Chen Yan suddenly paused.

When he just said this sentence, he suddenly thought of many "ways to help Nuomiguo enter the mission school."

For example, various backdoors are used to bribe the person in charge of the entrance examination, such as finding ways to find internal personnel of the choir and paying a price to have them help with internal recommendations...

Judging from what was recorded in Vidya Gandhi's diary, these operations are entirely possible.

But if he does this - tries every possible means to obtain the public education resources of missionary schools, he will be essentially the same as someone like Vidya Gandhi - or even the former principal of a missionary school.

The reason why Chen Yan paused suddenly was because he realized something that made him feel complicated - even though he knew it was wrong to do so, he still had to do it.

Because Nuomiguo needs to go to school, and he needs Nuomiguo to get legal status through going to school to eliminate the illegal risk of "harboring illegal immigrants".

His behavior: [trying to get Nuomiguo to go to school] must be closer to the social rules: [prohibiting harboring illegal immigrants].

Nuomi Guo’s behavior: [Study in a middle school with qualifications to enter an academic university], must comply with social rules: [For ordinary people, only by obtaining a diploma from a church school can they enter an academic university for study.

Xi] move closer.

Social rules govern people's behavior. As long as they are in society, no one can escape from social rules.

Any behavior that violates social rules will make people responsible for unbearable costs:

For example, if he did not help Nuomi Guo enroll in school, Chen Yan might one day be discovered by the Immigration Bureau and deported—this is a high probability event.

For example, without being able to enter a missionary school, Nuomi Guo would never have access to the most valuable knowledge in the empire.

As for the matter of "enrolling through normal channels", Chen Yan had not considered it long after he learned everything from Vidya Gandhi's memory fragments——

The "Entrance Examination" is something that relies purely on luck and is not worth anyone's waste of energy.

The choir is a bunch of nonsense, cannot make any contribution to society, and is completely meaningless theological knowledge, not to mention that it is not worth a lot of time for any candidate who wants to enter the school to study.
