Stockholm is exceptionally cold in December.

As a renowned Nordic city, the annual Nobel Prize award ceremony is a source of pride for the city.

Except for 2020, when the awards were presented online due to certain special circumstances, the Nobel Prizes quickly returned to the tradition of in-person award ceremonies in 2021.

Even though the criteria for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize have been criticized by the outside world, it cannot change the status of the Nobel Prizes in science in people's hearts.

The actor who plays Mirren was originally named Bill, but this Bill is not Bill Gates.

Bill initially wanted to refuse when the American authorities approached him to play the role of Mirren.

America laid out its terms and quickly convinced him:

"Merlin is just a ghost hiding behind the internet. He has no influence on reality and can only do some dirty tricks behind the scenes."

Bill hesitated, "But Merlin knows magic."

"Magic? Have you ever seen this thing? You saw Witten's magic in the research base, but it wasn't as powerful as my cat."

If Merlin really possessed the kind of magic depicted in movies and TV shows, he wouldn't need to hide himself.

Bill, think about it, if you play the role of Mirren, all the achievements of Merlin will be yours, and this year's Nobel Prize will definitely be awarded to you. You can become the pioneer of the field of the soul.

When future generations compile textbooks about the soul, your image will be printed on the title page.

Bill was tempted. He wasn't particularly devoted to or ambitious academic pursuits, otherwise he wouldn't have taken a job at the FBI after graduating with his doctorate.

His involvement in academia was largely driven by a desire for fame and fortune.

It was only after further study that I realized I had no talent.

Now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Bill to discover the soul, an achievement comparable to Einstein's discovery of relativity.

The future of biology will undoubtedly be the most prominent field of study. All students of quantum mechanics will know Einstein, and all students of biology in the future will remember him.

Bill still had doubts, though. He rubbed his brown hair with both hands: "But, after all, this is Miren Ambrose, and my name is Bill."

I always feel a little strange using someone else's name.

"Doctor, you can't think like that! You need to know that you will be the one being interviewed in front of the media, and your photo will be printed in the encyclopedia in the future, not Merlin that no one has ever seen!"

That's enough. For at least the next few decades, you'll be the one speaking in the media and at schools, and you'll enjoy it all!

Bill still had doubts. "The problem is, most scholars know about the existence of magic, don't they?"

"The problem is that no one has ever seen Merlin. We say you are Merlin, so you are."

There is an explanation for all of this.

Your name is Milren. After discovering the existence of the soul, you found this discovery astonishing. In order to prevent others from taking your work, you anonymously published a paper under the name Merlin.

This makes perfect sense.

Bill continued, "But what about magoin? How do you explain that?"

The white man sitting across from Bill was getting impatient with the questions, but he still had to control himself and convince Bill that there weren't many people who were the right age, had simple interpersonal relationships, and had enough education and knowledge to fool him.

Not to mention, Bill has been working for the FBI since graduation, so no one would leak his true identity. Furthermore, Bill's doctoral advisor has also passed away.

"Such a candidate is too hard to find," the white man repeatedly told himself, then said, "Has anyone found magoin yet?"

“You can say that the cosmic coordinate system and the hysteresis constant are your own guesses and have not been proven, and that magoin is a system you developed yourself because you are interested in cryptocurrencies.”

"Bill, don't worry, with the entire America backing you up, there won't be any problems."

Bill was already tempted by the prospect of getting something for nothing, let alone receiving such a generous gift.

His mentality is typical of someone who wants to gain an advantage but is unwilling to take risks.

"Today, let us welcome the discoverer of the soul, the master of 21st-century biology, Mirren Ambrose!"

"Müllen is a remarkable scholar who pioneered the combination of ultrashort light pulses and lasers, creating one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century! Let's give a round of applause to Müllen!"

Yes, Bill played Mirren and appeared in various media outlets.

Then, after various promotional efforts from print media to television programs and social media, the existence of the soul was hailed by the West as the greatest discovery of the 21st century.

Other countries were happy to see America's shady dealings, as it was a good opportunity to learn by doing, and everyone wanted to know more about Merlin.

It would be great if someone could help scout the way.

The reason why European media outlets should cooperate is because many European media outlets are controlled by American capital, and only a minority of European media outlets truly speak from the perspective of Europe.

The existence of the soul has brought the Chinese people benefits they never expected:

Paper money, a traditional Chinese custom, was already popular in Western countries. After the existence of the soul was observed and confirmed, paper money became even more popular and is almost becoming a global custom.

Furthermore, foreigners only recognize paper money made in China, believing that only paper money made in China can reach the soul. The benefits of a long history are fully demonstrated at times like these.

Chinese paper money is exported globally.

When Bill agreed to play Mirren, he experienced a thrill he had never felt in the first fifty years of his life.

Everyone called him a master, everyone flattered him, and no matter what Bill said, the audience would look like they were seriously thinking.
