Chapter 117 SpongeBob and Patrick are lost
At around six o'clock that evening, Bai Yang came back from school with Lian Qiao.
Bai Yang was wearing a down jacket, looking as bloated as a Michelin man. Lian Qiao was still dressed lightly, wearing a gray fleece sweatshirt and carrying his schoolbag in his hands. He looked like a young mother who had just picked up her child from kindergarten.
"According to the results of our experiments, any facts confirmed by BG4MSR cannot be changed." Bai Yang climbed to the eighth floor, took a breath, took out the key and opened the door. "No matter what you want to do, this world will always put you back on track."
"It sounds like our fate has already been determined." Lian Qiao said, carrying her bag. "We are all puppets, being manipulated by something."
"Are you saying we don't have free will?" Bai Yang pushed open the door and turned to ask.
Lian Qiao nodded.
"Perhaps it is our free will that led to this result." Bai Yang said, "I always thought so before. In the era when BG4MSR lived, most of the buildings in the city were still there, such as Building 12 next door. I wonder if we blow up Building 12, what will happen to her building?"
Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment.
"I've been thinking about this question for a long time, and I've been struggling with it. In theory, this is possible, right?" Bai Yang said, "In theory, we can indeed blow up Building 12, but BG4MSR told us before that Building 12 still exists. Doesn't that mean the facts of the two eras don't match up?"
"right."
"But theory and reality are two different things. Theoretically we can bomb 12 buildings, but in reality we can't do it at all." Bai Yang walked in and bent down to change his shoes. "As long as it can't be done, it won't go against logic. This is different from doing physics questions. In physics exams, we only need to solve theoretical problems. In the exam, you can blow up the earth, but not in real life. In real life, what you want to do and what you can do are two different things. So here comes the question... Why is there a difference between theory and reality? What causes such a huge difference?"
Bai Yang stuffed his sneakers into the shoe rack and continued:
"It's actually free will. What we think of as free will is like your rationality telling you that if you really plan to blow up a building, not only will it fail, but you will also be put in jail... The consciousness and thinking that direct our actions are precisely the main factors that keep us moving forward along that predetermined route."
"Do you know that there is a concept in psychology called the self-fulfilling prophecy effect?" Lian Qiao followed Bai Yang into the room. "Self-fulfilling prophecy means that people will unconsciously act according to the prophecy, and eventually make the prophecy come true."
"What are you talking about?"
Bai Zhen sat on the sofa, stamping at his desk, and looked up at the two people at the door.
"We were discussing that the future that BG4MSR saw would become an unchangeable reality," Lian Qiao said. "So, isn't the end of the world inevitable?"
"Yes." Wang Ning was concentrating on writing materials without even raising his head.
"But this..."
"So what if it's inevitable?" Wang Ning threw the document in his hand to Bai Zhen, "Will it hinder our work? Old Bai! Stamp it!"
"Click!" Bai Zhen stamped a bright red stamp on the document.
"Are you hungry?" Mom called from the kitchen. "Dinner is still a while away! Do you want to eat something first?"
"I'm not hungry. Xiaobai and I had a bowl of wonton on the way." Lianqiao threw her schoolbag to Baiyang and went into the kitchen. "Sister, let me help you!"
Lian Qiao is a good girl, and my mother likes her visibly, but the relationship between them is heading towards that of sisters. Lian Qiao calls my mother "sister" all the time, which makes my mother very happy.
Lian Qiao can't cook, but she is always very enthusiastic to help in the kitchen, helping to wash dishes and pots. She is quick and nimble, and never drags her feet. Bai Yang was puzzled at first, thinking that this sister's task was to be an assistant to his mother. Before his dull mind could figure it out, Lian Qiao quickly gained the appreciation and love of the hidden boss behind the headquarters - the executive director and the queen mother. Good guy, Bai Yang finally reacted, but it was too late - Lian Qiao got the full support of the queen mother, and from then on she acted arrogantly in front of Bai Yang.
With his mother's support, Bai Yang could no longer resist Lian Qiao's tyranny. Lian Qiao asked him to stand, so Bai Yang could not sit. Otherwise, his mother would say, "Listen to your counselor! Stand longer to grow taller!"
Lian Qiao has developed a sophisticated schedule and is responsible for picking up Bai Yang from school every day. She also always helps him carry his schoolbag. Lian Qiao has a regular schedule and takes Bai Yang out for a run every morning. After the run, she takes him to school. Her daily schedule is clearly arranged.
But Lian Qiao did not follow Bai Yang into the school. After Bai Yang entered the school gate, no one knew where the sister went. Bai Yang suspected that she went to a nearby restaurant or somewhere else to volunteer.
This speculation was based on facts. After a long time, people parted ways. Lian Qiao completed his mission and returned to the team. Bai Yang heard a young waitress humming "The emperor can't see the golden tiles and the golden throne room" in a nearby restaurant. Upon asking, he found out that there was a very capable sister who used to work here and could handle six plates in one hand.
After school, Bai Yang could always see Lian Qiao standing at the gate. She was tall and very eye-catching, which surprised He Leqin and Yan Zhihan who occasionally walked with her.
Young Master He and Brother Yan, one on each side, nudged Bai Yang's waist with their elbows and winked, "Sure, little Bai Yang, you're my sister! You're my sister! Tell me the truth, how did you hook up with her?"
In less than ten minutes, Lian Qiao had hooked up with Yan Zhihan. They were arm in arm, whispering, and making the two boys following behind look at them with resentment.
Lian Qiao told the two that she was Bai Yang's bodyguard, because Bai Yang was recently sought out by a low-key and mysterious billionaire on the other side of the ocean to be recognized as his relative, becoming the sole heir to a fortune of hundreds of billions of dollars. Recently, she is going through the inheritance procedures, but people who are eyeing this fortune are acting in secret. In order to ensure that the procedures do not go wrong, Bai Yang's life must be guaranteed. Now every hair on Bai Yang's body is more valuable than the same weight of gold.
After saying that, Young Master He pulled out a hair from Bai Yang, causing Bai Yang to scream in pain. He Leqin then said he would take it and exchange it for money.
Lian Qiao finally said to Yan Zhihan mysteriously, "Sister, among every ten people you see walking on the street, there is a secret sentry, and they are all bodyguards hired by Xiao Baiyang."
Bai Yang was stunned.
This sister is really out of tune.
After listening to Lian Qiao's words, Brother Yan and Mr. He turned to look at Bai Yang with hungry eyes. The two asked Bai Yang to pat his chest and speak with his conscience. Is their friendship worth one hundred million?

Bai Yang threw his schoolbag on the bed. The "click-click" sound of stamps could be heard in the living room. Dad and Uncle Wang were working at their desks, one reviewing documents and the other writing materials. They had an argument when the division of labor was decided. After all, compared with stamping and signing, writing materials required much more time and effort. Why should Old Wang do more work?
Finally it was decided that Lao Wang would get 60% of the military medal and Lao Bai would get 40%, and only then was Wang Ning willing to do it.
Of course, he didn't work there for long. Within half a month, Wang Ning seconded Xiao Zhu and promoted him to deputy director of the command office (Wang Ning told him that this was a high position in the organization and that he had a bright future), and all the manuscript materials were thrown to Xiao Zhu to write.
Wang Ning was responsible for signing his name.
Zhao Bowen is not here. Uncle Zhao must have gone to the provincial or municipal party committee for a meeting again. I don’t know what time he will be back. He is always busy.
Lian Qiao helped wash all the dishes in the kitchen, and then went to the room to discuss fatalism and free will with Bai Yang. She encouraged and suggested Bai Yang to do a simple experiment to verify it. It was of course unrealistic to blow up Building 12, but making a mark on the wall was a piece of cake. Anyway, Bai Yang and BG4MSR were in the same room. As long as the former made a mark on the white wall of his room, the latter could immediately see whether there would be any changes.
Scribbling on your own wall is a plan that will get you beaten.
But Lian Qiao convinced her mother.
So Bai Yang dug out the watercolor paints he used in elementary school art class, checked with BG4MSR, and selected an intact wall.
"I told you, but you didn't believe me." Bai Yang curled her lips. "We had already verified it when we sent the Time Slow Courier. I will verify it for you again. I can now conclude that no matter what we paint on the wall, the wall on her side will not change."
“You draw!”
Bai Yang drew a SpongeBob SquarePants character on the white wall and a Patrick Star character on the opposite wall.
Next he contacted BG4MSR using the radio.
As expected, the girl's answer was nothing, nothing changed.
Lian Qiao was surprised.
"Look, what did I say?" Bai Yang clapped his hands. "There won't be any changes at all. Do you want to know why? It must be because in the near future, my mom or someone else thought these two things were too ugly and really unsightly, so they covered them up again, so you can't see anything on the other side..."
Bai Yang made a further inference:
"But the two paintings should still be there, they are just covered up, so I will let BG4MSR scrape the wall and they will see the light of day again."
He said it with great confidence.
Lian Qiao nodded.
So Bai Yang contacted the other party again and asked Banxia to scrape the wall under his guidance, scraping off the white putty on the surface layer by layer. If nothing goes wrong, she will see SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star painted by Bai Yang.
But this time it was Bai Yang's turn to be surprised.
Still nothing.
Banxia scraped all the way to the bottom and the cement wall, but did not see any traces of paint left, as if it was not the same wall and no one had ever painted on it.
Bai Yang was stunned. He turned his head to look at SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick on the wall. The paint that had just dried was still very bright. For some reason, this pair of good brothers were lost in the ups and downs of time.
