"...So, you can see the future? Do you know what my future looks like? Oh, I know it's best not to spoil this kind of thing, so you just answer me, if you use a ten-point scale to evaluate my future , How many points do you think you can score?" Eris asked with interest while holding a coffee cup.

She and Dr. Manhattan were sitting in the corner of the coffee shop. Although their location was remote enough, Dr. Manhattan was so well-known that many people still looked sideways at their side, but the two who were chatting had no interest at all. Care about those eyes that look like rare animals.

As Dr. Manhattan said, Eris invited him a cup of coffee, and in the process of chatting without saying a word, they gradually talked about Dr. Manhattan's abilities and the so-called quantum physics.Perhaps because of the conversation, Eris also gradually shed the polite and capable style of women in the workplace, and even made a few jokes that would only be made among friends.

"No, in fact, I can see the laws of everything, but I can't see the future of specific individuals other than me. I can't observe, so I can't evaluate." Dr. Manhattan's soft voice sounded so gentle at first The spring breeze is blowing, but smart people know that no matter when, behind this softness is the indifference of a bystander.

The so-called God cares for the world, and God loves people, is just talk, God will always look down on everything from a high position.

"That's it..." Some disappointment flashed across Eris's face, and she soon returned to her original state, and she was even a little excited, "But to put it another way, you can know your future by seeing your future. My future dealing with you at that point in time, right?"

Dr. Manhattan looked at her, and the time seemed to freeze. Now it is 1966:4 on April 29, 13. The factory was officially put into operation in early May, and every Friday after that, as a weekly meeting between Werther Group and him. Eris Discotia, the liaison, would invite him to this coffee shop during regular breaks. On the one hand, it was business, and on the other hand, it was more of a chat, as if it had become a habit.

At the end of July, she will be transferred from this liaison position, but they will meet at different times.He'd tell her how easy it was to be with her, and Jenny Slater would leave him at that point, pointing at his nose and asking if there was such a thing as affection.In fact, he didn't think he had, even if he felt a strange liking for Eris that somehow existed.

At the end of August, he'll know who she really is, and he'll know that it's all just a stage play, just like him, she said she'd have to think about the script, and he'll be sad, he'll have to pretend That look, after that... He couldn't see it, everything seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze.

At 1966:4 on April 29, 13, she will leave angrily.He'd tell her the minute she walked out of the cafe that she needed lunch, and he'd teleport her to what she said was her favorite little restaurant.

"Yes." The second hand started to rotate again, and there were 13 seconds left before 14:233.

"Then how do you determine that the future will definitely develop in that direction, and the future me will definitely be what you see?" Eris suddenly thought, "According to what you said, every action of yours can Create a parallel universe. But in fact, everyone will encounter countless choices in life, and any person’s different choices can create a parallel universe. If everyone has your ability, if I also have yours ability, then according to quantum physics, I can also see countless parallel universes."

"It's like..." Eris quickly took out the pen and paper from the bag, and drew an irregular curve on the paper, "This is your space-time line, it can have countless branches, and On each branch there are countless branches, but now, according to your statement, you have avoided the existence of those threads as much as possible, so you have only one main thread."

"And me, this is my line," Eris drew another line, crossed Dr. Manhattan's line, produced several intersections, and circled them, "My line is also like yours. In the bare case, these intersections represent the future of you and me that you can see, but the reality is that my choices are open, it's like Schrödinger's cat, as long as the box is sealed, anything can be hidden in among them, and it may appear in any state of existence."

Eris randomly drew several forks on his own line, some of which also produced new intersections with Dr. Manhattan's line.

"So, how can you be sure that the future you see must be the future that is about to happen? You can constrain your own choices on a line, but you can't change other people's choices." Eris put down the pen and pushed the paper to the In front of Dr. Manhattan, she raised her head and looked at him with a slightly provocative and puzzled expression, but she happened to meet his bland bright blue eyes. When he was talking at length, he kept looking at himself quietly.

She moved her eyes to cover up, and Dr. Manhattan also spoke at this time: "However, time and space are a three-dimensional concept, and the branch you choose will only affect your parallel world. This so-called newly emerged The intersection point belongs to the parallel world, as for this world, it has already been established."

under his control.Dr. Manhattan did not say the second half of the sentence.

"... Oh, I actually overlooked the point of three-dimensionality." Eris slapped his forehead, "I thought this would be difficult for you."

"As a woman who lived in the 70s and [-]s, you've done a pretty good job, I mean on a mental level."

"Doctor, from a psychological point of view, this sentence is a kind of showing off, not consolation." Eris glared at him, "Although I don't know if 'psychology' is still useful to you. Many Every now and then, I want to dig out your brain to see what your mind looks like."

"You can take a look, if you want." The doctor's tone remained unchanged and his expression calmly threw out such a misleading sentence——

"...cough cough, I was just joking, open the skull to see the brain or something..." Eris made a horrified expression, as if some worlds were skilled in performing craniotomy to study the brain and human experimentation. Horse's not like her.

"No, I mean, if you want to see the world from my perspective, I can let you try."

Eris froze for a moment, while Dr. Manhattan stretched out his hand and paused for a moment in front of her forehead. After she nodded slightly, he put his finger on Eris' forehead.

At that moment, Eris found herself sitting in the back seat of a car, her eyesight narrowed a bit, and a man and a woman sitting in front of her with somewhat familiar faces were chatting warmly.They looked back at Eris and gave her a doting smile, but at this moment, a speeding car smashed the whole car to pieces, killing the couple sitting in the front seat on the spot.

The image flashed again, the first time she stood in front of her therapist.

Then comes the ostracism and anxiety of relatives.

This is her past. Of course, due to the intervention of the system, the characters and scene layout of these flashback clips have returned to the 50s and [-]s. There are not many flashbacks, and they are very fast, but it is undeniable that this is her previous experiences.

She can see the cause and effect of everything, even the particles in each object.

This super god state seemed to only last for a second, and this second was so long that it seemed to last a lifetime.In fact, Dr. Manhattan just tapped her forehead before putting his hand down, and she recovered instantly from the dazed touch of his fingers.

"Sorry." Dr. Manhattan's gentle but insincere voice said, "I don't know."

The smile on Eris's face was gone, she looked at him with a sullen face, flung a few banknotes out of her wallet and slapped them on the table, and strode towards the door of the store without looking back.

And the moment she opened the store door, Dr. Manhattan's voice came from behind her: "It's getting late, you need lunch."

In the next second, the noisy voice occupied Eris's whole brain. She looked at the street with people coming and going, and she felt dizzy after another, making her feel that the whole world was falling into a strange tilt.This is a hangover from Dr. Manhattan's teleportation ability.

Eris looked at the small restaurant in front of him and sneered.Just now she showed the character who was stimulated by the dark memory and was angry. In fact, her cold face was partly the reason for her dissatisfaction.

She observed the world from the perspective of Dr. Manhattan. Yes, the purpose of her chatting with him for a long time was really to know what the world looked like in his eyes. scoffed.

This is not what she wants, this is not what she wants to see, she doesn't need these things she already knows.What Dr. Manhattan saw had already been rehearsed in her mind when she was studying him.She thought it would be different, she thought...

Forget it.

Eris completely closed the file belonging to Dr. Manhattan in his mind, and stamped it "Unawakened".No matter how powerful he is, he is only a god who belongs to this world. His vision is very wide, but in fact it is very narrow. Ability to copy.

Adrian tried to use the energy of Dr. Manhattan to create chaos in the world, so that human beings can fight against the common "enemy" Dr. Manhattan. If the Soviets want to create more powerful weapons, they must also use the ability of Dr. Manhattan. Eris can Whether the two hidden tasks are completed depends on whether the doctor's work in the past few months can be successful.

Adrian has an ambiguous attitude towards the spontaneous combustion case created by Eris. In the absence of sensitive people related to the Cold War, such as the death of important scientists, the death of twelve group predators created a more convenient environment for his company. He only expressed his thoughts with the words "well done", and didn't even say anything about Eris "accidentally" burning the vice president to death. This probably has something to do with his dislike of the current government.

Now, the focus of the government and the media has shifted from the Cold War to Professor Evil. Eris’s information network has also been cut off from it, and many information dealers have disappeared. She has always kept a blind eye to this. One-eyed attitude, superficially following up on factory tasks, privately continuing to provide criminal channels for those criminals, as if they didn't realize the danger was approaching at all.

And a crosshair aimed at his own head.
