What is an observer?Xia Youjie showed an expression that he couldn't keep up with the thinking speed of this group of science students.

"Parallel worlds don't exist."

Yuanshan Minato explained to him: "The time machine theory does not allow people to jump between different parallel worlds, but to reconstruct the entire world from the "changed place". "

Everyone's memory is also a part of reconstruction. Toyama Minato gave an example: "It's like Schrödinger's cat, opening the box of the world, and when the cat is observed to be alive, the "possibility of death" disappears." . "

Looking down from a higher perspective, human beings are just the product of the flow of time.

"I still don't understand..."

Xia Youjie pressed his thumb on his forehead.

"What Okaron means is that he suspects that someone else has noticed the jump of the world line and wants to kill us in advance-but this is too outrageous? If there is such a person, in the In the previous world line, we should be dead."

"That's right, so there should be no 'observers of the world'. "

Makise Kurisu did not directly deny Rintaro Okabe's violent theory: "The real situation may be simpler. Although there are no observers of the whole world, there are people who observe us."

"what does that mean?"

Xia Youjie asked.

"Suppose you are an old hunter in the mountains with rich hunting experience. One day, you will go to the mountains to catch a special rabbit."

Makise Kurisu said: "You set up a trap on the rabbit's only path. According to the original hunting experience, this should be an invincible tool, but I don't know why, but the rabbit can accurately bypass the trap every time. .”

"You are very confident in setting up traps, thinking that it is impossible for any animal to escape such a net, but actions such as "the rabbit will actively avoid the trap" still happen-in this case, you will What inferences can be drawn? "

Xia Youjie's lips moved, he hesitated for a moment, and said following the other party's thoughts: "I will guess...the other party has the ability to read minds, which is far beyond the vigilance of ordinary people, or the power to predict the future."

"Yes, this is observation."

Hong Liqi nodded: "If I were a hunter, if I failed once, I would set traps a few more times until I finally came to the conclusion that this rabbit cannot be killed by ordinary methods."

"..."

Xia Youjie straightened his back unconsciously.

He is a smart person, but he lacks the thinking habits of science and engineering reasoning of his predecessors, but this does not mean that he cannot understand what Makise Kurisu said: "That is to say, the previous few times A jump in the world line is a bear trap that is bypassed."

"It can be said that even the arson this time may be one of the traps, but in the end this is just my own reasoning, and I need to listen to other people's opinions."

But all actions should have a motive. Although Senior Yuan Shan offended many people, he should not have offended to the extent that "you need to find ways to design an assassination"——Xia Youjie was eager to defend the other party, not to mention that there were still people around him. As a super conjurer, he has never been defeated in this world except for Wu Heshier. Unless there is a third super level and other terrible enemies, it will be difficult for all attacks directed at the senior to bypass him. .

To take such a big risk for personal vendetta, a rational person would generally not make such a choice, and an irrational person... would often not be able to think of such a chain scheme.

Toyama Minato sighed and took his hand.The heat of the skin came from the palm, and the thumb lightly rubbed the back of his hand.

"If you change your mind, you can figure it out."

"If it wasn't me that was the rabbit they wanted to capture in the first place, but you — it all worked out," he said.

The conjurer Shan Jian is not a great target, but Xia Youjie is.Whether he admits it or not, Xia Youjie, a super conjurer, is already a topical figure in this industry alongside Gojo Satoru. Maybe he doesn't have more real feelings, but many keen people have already noticed the power of this young man who keeps moving forward. .

"Can--"

One question followed by a flood of questions: "But why?"

Xia Youjie asked: "Not complacently speaking, my popularity is not bad... If I offend someone, I must be enlightened more."

"There is always a reason for wanting to do something to a person. If the reasoning of Ah Min and Hong Liqi is true, there must be something special about you, Xia You, that the other party cares about."

Hashida Zhi said: "Of course, the prerequisite is that the reasoning of the two of them is correct."

Xia Youjie felt like his heart was on a roller coaster.

——It might not be as ups and downs as it is now if you really ride a roller coaster.

Suppose a hunter sets up a trap to catch the prey he likes, but the prey escapes repeatedly, and none of them succeeds. So the hunter starts to think and finds that there are even smaller bugs hidden in the ears of the prey. The worms, on the other hand, will tip off the news, foretelling and prophetically warning of the impending danger.

——In this case, what should a hunter do?

The answer is to spray pesticides in large quantities.

"At least from the analysis of the current situation, if you want to attack any one of the conjuration experts, you will never be able to get around Ah Min—maybe the entire future props research institute is an enemy that needs to be eradicated, but Ah Min also has curses. The identity of the magician is the one that is most thoroughly exposed on the surface."

Hashida Zhi replaced himself as the villain: "Before attacking the final boss of the dungeon dungeon, we must first destroy the mobs that can give the boss an invincible state."

Continuing to think from this angle, this arson case is undoubtedly a "widespread insecticide"-it is not only a test for Toyama Minato himself, but if he is lucky enough to kill him directly, he will not lose money.

"I will always stay by Senior's side in the future."

Hearing everyone's inferences, Xia Youjie said almost without hesitation: "Whoever wants to attack, I will not let him succeed."

"Don't worry, I'm not a character who can be killed easily."

Yuanshan Minato reassured him, and fell into thought again: "Arson is an attack on me, but the first three world line jumps should be traps for hunting—then..."

He paused: "What result did the mysterious man originally hope to achieve through such an action?"

Everyone was silent, and then looked at Xia Youjie one after another——this kind of inference is best answered by the person himself who is the most reliable.

What would I have become without the help of my seniors?

Xia Youjie seldom thinks about this question.

I met Toyama Minato when I first came to Tokyo, and later established a close relationship with him because of a series of erroneous reasons. His entire career as a conjurer was closely related to him, and according to Okabe According to Rintaro, in the A world line, there is actually not much fate between them.

And if d-mail ceased to exist, Xiaolizi would die, Haibara would die, and the Yachang sisters would be wasted in that cannibalistic village.

He didn't have a good impression of non-artists. He almost harbored hatred for a while, and his mental state was precarious at that time. Under the interlocking pressure, he might not make the choice of suicide.

With his self-esteem, it would have been impossible to tell these thoughts to a group of non-magicians, but now it is about the destruction of the world, no matter whether he has the magic power or not, he will suffer immediately, and even Wu may be sealed in the future world Li... which makes his face seem less important.

"I don't think it's fair."

Xia Youjie said: "Non-magicians live ignorantly in this world, constantly metabolizing emotional garbage, and these things will eventually turn into butcher knives for conjurers—I think this is unfair."

If only everyone could have magic power.

Or, if such a delusion cannot be realized, it would be good to let all the non-magicians disappear.

"I did have that thought."

The young conjurer lowered his eyes, and his bangs left a small shadow on his face. As for how these emotions were resolved, everyone more or less got a glimpse of traces from the several world line crossings.

"It's like having the same combat capability as a long-range bomber, but the remote control is placed in the hands of an ordinary high school student..."

Hearing what he said, everyone also sighed: "It's not easy for a magician."

"And it's really unfair."

Makise Kurisu just said: "Leaving aside the conclusion and solution, the threat to conjurers in this world is indeed much higher."

But here comes the problem.

Analyzing behavior from the perspective of motivation, the future Xia Youjie became a curse master for various reasons. What is the benefit of this?

"If the theory of "there is a mysterious observer" is established, then we can proceed to the next step. "

Toyama Minato interrupted everyone's discussion.

He made a more pointed conjecture.

In the A world line, the future Toyama tried his best to convey information to the past, telling them now that "there are cursers who want to destroy the world", and established the curser forum at the beginning of the Internet.

In the B world line, this unsolved mystery points to Xia Youjie, as if solving the person involved can solve the world crisis.

but……

"The current situation proves that 15 years later, I still encountered a fatal disaster."

At that time, Xia Youjie was already over 30 years old, and it was impossible for him to be the impulsive 17-year-old boy he is today. The reason for doing it.

As if feeling something in his heart, the young conjurer looked at his lover beside him.

"Is there a possibility that my judgment on the A world line is correct, but what Suzuha observed in the B world line is an incomplete result?"

Hearing his words, Awanyin Suzuha immediately jumped up.

"That's impossible!"

She said: "That kind of appearance, the spell is a magic spell, there can be no second person in this world—"

"...the black sheep of Scotland."

Xia Youjie said suddenly.

He understood what the senior wanted to express at this time.

Combined with Okabe's "observer", according to the logic of scientists and Scottish black sheep, the correct statement should be——

"There is a conjurer who shows my appearance and my spells in the future 15 years later. The other party has an ideal that can only be realized by destroying the entire world."
