"Kyubi." Homura Akemi stopped and looked down at the shadow under her feet.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
In the shadows, a white creature that haunted Homura Akemi slowly walked out, its cute pet appearance concealing an inhuman nature.
Clenching her fists, Homura Akemi suppressed the thought of shooting it and asked directly, "What is magic power?"
She used to always prepare plans and kill the big boss of the final Witch Night to protect Madoka.
Now, under Bai Mo's "guidance", Homura Akemi feels that she needs to be a little "flexible" and lower her bottom line a little, such as finding a way to get all the witch-related information from Kyubey.
Anyway, everything will start over again in the next reincarnation, so there is no psychological burden in using Kyubey, Akemi and Homura. She has the attitude that as long as a person dies, the debt will no longer exist.
“Emotional entropy.”
Kyubey was very straightforward and gave an answer directly according to the optimal solution he calculated.
It was once said that advanced technology was like magic to ancient people who used simple tools and were uncivilized.
The miracles that the Hatcher (Kyubi) promised to the girls were actually just "artificial miracles" created by alien science that far surpassed human technology.
Just as Bai Mo said, there is no such thing as a free miracle, everything has a price.
Magic power, magic gems, seeds of sorrow, pollution, these things that were considered magic in the eyes of Homura Akemi and everyone else were actually science at their core, derivatives of the Incubator civilization's research on the increase of cosmic entropy.
Of course, like Homura Akemi and Bai Mo, they know nothing about this stuff and their understanding level is zero.
What is the relationship between emotional entropy and cosmic entropy increase, how to transform it, and what are the laws of the underlying cosmic rule framework involved... These things are things that she cannot recognize or realize even a little bit.
Taking a deep breath, Homura turned her head to look at Kyubey and made a decision: "I want to become a magical girl."
"Oh?"
Kyubey tilted his head: "What is your wish?"
"I want everything from you incubators, about emotional entropy, no, I want everything!"
Since everything about the magical girl comes from the incubator, can't I just become an incubator?
I can reincarnate again and again, and with the accumulation of time, I will definitely succeed.
"..."
Kyubey was rarely silent.
She becomes a magical girl, but her wish is to take everything from the hatcher/Kyuubi. Due to three unexpected events, it is an "unknown" that cannot be calculated.
The first accident is Bai Mo’s changing future.
The second surprise was the magical girl Homura Akemi, who had no contract but was able to travel through time and space.
The third surprise is that Homura Akemi’s wish is to become an “incubator”.
Kyubey nodded, and it finally responded: "Okay."
Then, it opened its big mouth and vomited out a smaller version of Kyubey that looked exactly like itself, to Homura's disgusted expression.
The new Kyubey shook off the non-existent water marks, quickly jumped to Homura Akemi's left shoulder, and projected a translucent virtual display screen in front of her.
"Here is all the information I, the incubator, have recorded."
Homura Akemi raised her hand and tried to click it, and found that there was a lot of content on these screens.
The text records are divided into units according to river systems, and multiple searches are required to reach the solar system, find the earth, and obtain relevant content of human civilization records.
After reading about relevant scientific figures, such as the great Prince of Mathematics Gauss, she fell silent.
Some of the learning content involves climbing out of a pit, while some of it involves standing on a cliff and watching a group of gods step on their left foot and go up to the sky.
For some reason, she seemed to see a future in which she would drown in the ocean of knowledge.
Homura Akemi clenched her fists and made a decision.
"What a boring and idle day." Bai Mo rubbed the cupid on his legs.
Magical girls, witches, these things made Bai Mo somewhat curious at first, but in the face of the continuous test papers being handed out, Bai Mo chose to explore them later.
He was doing two things at once, taking notes in class while quickly filling in the answers to the test paper on the desk.
Jingle Bell……
The bell rang and Bai Mo glanced at the clock.
There is an hour at noon. If I buy a few breads on the roadside to fill my stomach and I have almost finished the test paper, I have just half an hour to rest.
"Qupi, what does a witch look like?" Hearing Bai Mo's question, Qiupi shook his tail and answered: "I can't predict what a witch looks like."
"Can I understand that with magical girls and witches... you can't guarantee control."
"Yes."
Bai Mo felt some pain in his back teeth.
My goodness, if humans engage in out-of-control research, the worst that can happen is the destruction of the Earth. But if you incubators fail in your research on emotional entropy, the universe will shake, and the scope of the impact will be who knows how wide.
"You... forget it."
Bai Mo shook his head and gave up the so-called idea.
I have zero understanding of emotional entropy, so it’s best not to speak up about it.
"Old Xiao, this is the test paper."
Bai Mo patted the student sitting in front of him on the shoulder, handed him the test paper, and left the classroom.
Old Xiao watched his back disappear and reached out to pick up the test paper.
"How come he finished his homework so quickly today? Did he also use his phone to look up the answers?"
Guessing the possibilities, he picked up the ballpoint pen on the table and began to refer to and modify it.
In the corridor, Bai Mo casually asked, "How many witches are there?"
"Um...1964."
"That much?"
It seems like a lot, but if you expand the number to the entire earth, it is pitifully small.
Bai Mo asked, "How many magical girls are there?"
"72."
"72 magical girls. It seems you are still conducting observation experiments."
During the casual conversation, Bai Mo also learned about the situation of magical girls and witches.
The more magical girls there are, the better. For Kyubey, what the incubator needs is the provable relationship between the changing emotional entropy and entropy increase, which is the actual manifestation of this data.
It can be understood as observing an apple falling to the ground, and then summarizing the formula of universal gravitation based on the movement of the planets.
Experiment, add variables, observe, summarize... these are what Kewpie does.
"To what extent can you interfere with the Soul Gem?" Bai Mo asked, not really expecting much of an answer.
However, Kyubey responded directly.
"zero."
"zero?"
"As an incubator, I cannot control the formation of the Soul Gem. I can only be sure that there will be a result if I do so. As for the process, I cannot understand it."
"What about observing souls?"
"zero."
"As for emotional entropy, you are not just making so-called guesses, are you?"
"Yes."
Baimo didn't know why, but he had a very strange feeling.
You say the Incubator is strong. He is powerful on a cosmic scale, but he can only guess about emotional entropy.
You say He is weak, but He plays with time and space, controls matter at will, and His technology has reached the level of magical fantasy. He can create soul gems and begin to try to touch the ultimate answer to the universe.
"Is this the truth?"
"Incubators never lie."
Bai Mo suppressed the thoughts in his heart, shook his wrist, put his hands in his pockets, and left the teaching building.
"Witch, is it in this direction?"
"Of course." (End of chapter)
