Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 270: All the investors have the same look
In the third Harry Potter story, Dementors are a group that has a strong presence but is often ignored; their greatest role is to create trouble for the protagonists and act as an opposing force to drive the plot forward.

It first appeared on the Hogwarts Express, evoking the sound of Harry's mother's death in his memory and introducing the Patronus Charm.

The second time it appeared was during a Quidditch match, when a large group of Dementors rioted and broke into the stadium, disrupting the progress of the game; but more importantly, it highlighted the wild and uncontrollable characteristics of this group of dark creatures. This particularity of instinct being greater than reason also laid the groundwork for Barty Jr. to escape from Azkaban by stealing a beam instead of a pillar in the fourth part.

The third time was the final siege on Sirius, and Harry successfully expelled him with the Patronus Charm; the biggest role of his appearance this time was to witness the growth of the protagonist Harry Potter.

Now, only the first appearance has been changed, and the extent of the change is not large. It seems that the possibility of returning to the original storyline in the future cannot be ruled out. After all, according to the information collected by Earl Goff, Remus Lupin, who failed to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, has appeared in Hogsmeade. It seems that he has come back to help Dumbledore in another identity.

"The riot when the Dementors broke into the stadium was the real event that shook the wizarding world. Let's wait and see." Lin You was very patient, but his little actions could not be hidden from those who were interested.

When the writer went to the Garden of Eden again to carry out the mission of world integration, God mentioned the changes that had taken place in the magic world during a casual conversation.

"Why would you want to change the plot of the Harry Potter stories, writer?"

"Does the plot of Harry Potter still need me to change it?" Lin You asked with a smile, "When Dumbledore tried every means to resurrect his sister, and when Grindelwald sold his soul to Lucifer, didn't the story change a long time ago?"

"Those are the aftermath of 'unknown' events; are you trying to create more 'unknowns'?" God's expression was strange, with a hint of worry in his calmness, but also a hint of expectation.

"Wouldn't it be good to add more 'unknown' events? Every time the 'unknown' appears, it will make the big world more real." Lin You still responded in a rhetorical question.

"That's great, of course, provided that the 'unknown' can be created consciously and does not cause confusion in the worldview logic." God reminded cautiously, "We don't know much about the operating rules of the 'unknown' right now. No one knows whether what is created actively is the 'unknown' or a disaster?"

"That's why we have to conduct careful experiments within a controllable range. The previous incident of the demon gods fighting for the Holy Spear has proved that the writer can intervene in the 'unknown' to a large extent; if the subsequent experiments prove that I can actively create the 'unknown'..."

God took over the conversation directly: "If that's the case, your position will be more stable, and you will also gain more respect from the gods. Is that what you plan to do?"

“The education I received in the real dimension is that people must demonstrate their own value in society.” Lin You answered very frankly, “This is what Marx taught me.”

"I have no objection to you demonstrating your own value, whether it is personal value or social value; I am just worried that this attempt to disrupt the established plot will disrupt the worldview of the big world and cause additional logical contradictions." God neither opposed nor encouraged, but just calmly expressed his concerns.

"It is my job to sort out the logic of the world view, and of course I will be responsible for it." Lin You also knew that he could not be careless about this matter. If he wanted to get the permission of the gods to continue the experiment, he had to make guarantees and assume the corresponding responsibilities.

God remained noncommittal and said calmly, "Then let's see if your ability to organize the logic of your worldview has improved."

"Why does this sound a bit malicious?"

"Of course not. But since you made the promise, you have to prove that you have the ability to take responsibility, right?" God smiled and said, "Since you think that even if the plot of Harry Potter is disrupted, you have the ability to straighten it out; then the next task can just verify your ability to deal with disrupted story plots." "What story?" Lin You suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart.

"The story of Sherlock Holmes." God answered simply, and then seemed to feel that it was incomplete, and immediately added, "All versions of the story of Sherlock Holmes."

Lin You was stunned for a long time before he suddenly understood what "all versions of Sherlock Holmes" meant.

There are at least four or five widely influential images of Sherlock Holmes, which extend from the late 19th century to the 21st century, including but not limited to: the Holmes in the original novel, the early film and television versions that strictly followed the original novel, the two-part film series shot by Robert Downey Jr., the British version of Sherlock Holmes, and the American version of Elementary.

This does not include some less well-known versions; for example, Lin You himself has seen a movie in which Sherlock Holmes from the 19th century travels to the 20th century...

Just counting on my fingers the versions I have read gives the writer a toothache.

Holmes from different time and space backgrounds, different images, and different personalities must all be integrated into the big world. What's more terrible is that Holmes is just a human being, and we can't design different versions of the character into divine avatars or divine thoughts like gods do - humans don't have that kind of thing.

They are all human, and they are all named Sherlock Holmes.

Lin You suggested: "Can't we wait a while? Once the DC world is integrated and a systematic concept of parallel universe is established, these Sherlock Holmes will be easy to deal with."

"No matter how difficult they are to deal with, the consequences they cause will not be more serious than the chaos caused by the 'unknown'." God said seriously, "Since you want to try it in the big world, you must prove that you have the ability to calm down all worldview confusions without parallel universes. After all, the current big world does not have a systematic parallel universe."

Lin You was speechless and looked unhappy. He knew that this was a test from the gods and a warning to him for his secret actions. He also understood that the fact that he could issue a warning in the form of a test instead of other more severe methods showed that the gods had different attitudes towards his behavior.

Some are against, some are in favor, and some are ambiguous and want to wait and see; that is why they use tests as a way to prove their abilities.

He must perfectly integrate at least four or five versions of Sherlock Holmes into the same world view before the gods will give him the opportunity to make further "attempts".

It feels like the board of directors giving work evaluation indicators to professional managers, or like investors setting time schedule requirements for scientific research project teams.

It’s not that you can’t object or refuse, but the result is that when you refuse, you will inevitably lose some autonomy.

Since ancient times, the faces of capitalists have basically been the same.
