Chapter 273 Abnormal concept of time, for survival

Bai Mo snapped his index finger, and the rising air flow turned into a breeze, lifting up the wreckage.

After the witch was destroyed, only seeds of sorrow remained, but the remains of this witch seemed to indicate that this was not the only law.

"Kyubi, after the witch is destroyed, only the seeds of sorrow will remain?"

"Yes."

“…Is this an exception?”

Kyubey wagged his tail and turned his head to look at Homura Akemi.

According to the timeline she experienced, it was not an absolute accident. For example, the witch on the stage of Witch Night would leave some traces, and would not be like the witch who was destroyed in the witch barrier, leaving only the seeds of sorrow.

"Yes and no."

Bai Mo scratched his hair, feeling like he was listening to nonsense.

Never mind. A single witch can't prove anything.

"Besides this witch, are there any other witches in Binhai City?"

“Yes, this is the location.”

Kyubey shook his paw and displayed a map in front of the two of them.

Judging from the nearest distance, it would only take two hours to get there.

"I plan to continue trying next, what about you?" Bai Mo asked Homura Akemi.

She took a deep breath, then her eyes calmed down: "I have my own things to deal with."

"Goodbye then."

Bai Mo waved his hand and watched her disappear in the next moment.

After thinking about it, Bai Mo walked to an alley on the side, took out a usable plastic bag, put the remains of the witch into it, and turned and left.

Due to the witch's barrier and interference factors, nothing happened when he left the alley. Passersby who happened to pass by took it for granted that there was "white foam" and naturally formed a corresponding concept in their hearts about this suddenly appeared alley.

The reason for ignoring is simply because you forgot.

Bai Mo walked on the road, took a look at the time shown by the sun in the sky, and asked Kyubey: "Does a magical girl become a witch because she uses magic power and does not get replenished?"

"Yes." Kyubey nodded.

"…Is the gem taken away by Homura Akemi the Witch's Soul Gem?"

"Yes."

"The Soul Gem turned dark, causing the magical girl to develop into a complete witch, right?"

"Yes."

Question and answer, as Bai Mo asked, Kyubey talked about the related concepts of magical girls and witches.

When these puzzle-like fragments accumulate to a certain extent, they piece together the basic "rules" for Baimo.

First of all, the wishes that magical girls realize are essentially "help" from Kyubey. Kyubey and the incubator help the magical girls realize their wishes.

The essence of miracles is achieved by investing in technology and using the incubator's special scientific technology.

As for Homura Akemi, her wish is to "restart the cycle of reincarnation" and go back in time.

This is not difficult. For Cupid, it is easy to reverse the time of the Earth, the solar system, the Milky Way, and even the 960 billion light-year universe widely known to humans.

As for the purpose of doing this, the answer has not changed from beginning to end - to study the transformation relationship between emotional entropy and cosmic entropy increase, and try to change the future of cosmic entropy increase.

Of course, for the magical girls who were born under the guidance of the incubator, the observation of the Soul Gem after becoming a magical girl is always impossible without causing interference variables, and it is all unknown.

Now Kyubey has no idea how Homura Akemi managed to travel through time and space and his understanding of the Soul Gem is still zero as Bai Mo said.

The incubator understands every process of the birth of the magical girl and knows the transformation principles, but is powerless in front of the black box of the soul gem.

It is simply unable to observe what the emotional entropy within the Soul Gem is, and can only give it a unified and incomplete covering term such as soul energy.

Bai Mo scratched his hair. After listening to Qiu Bi's description, he felt like he was watching a folk scientist, the kind who only made random guesses and really had the ability to do so.

"Aren't you afraid that your civilization will bring forward the end of the universe's entropy increase by committing suicide?" According to the law of increasing entropy, your behavior is the reason for the early increase in entropy.

Kyubey replied calmly: "The future of the universe is destined to be destroyed in heat death. If this future cannot be changed through emotional entropy, whether the heat death comes earlier or not will have the same result for me as an incubator."

The rational ones have gone crazy.

Bai Mo really wanted to say this, but when he thought about the completely different ideas and concepts between the Incubators and humans, as well as the different attitudes of the other "Baimos" when talking about humans, he felt it was very "normal".

The incubator's concept of time perception is completely different from that of humans. In humans' eyes, the end of the universe is far away, and heat death is just a theoretical proof of scientific research.

When the heat death really comes, whether or not traces of human beings will still be there will be a question. There is no need to worry about such things at all. You just need to focus on the ups and downs.

Unlike Kyubey, the time seen by the Incubator, the top civilization in the universe, forces it to face this end.

If you don't want to die and want to live, you can only try to change, even if the result may be worse or even accelerate the heat death.

"Three months countdown, Kyubey, do you have similar thoughts and perceptions about the end of the world?"

Kyubey nodded.

Bai Mo rubbed his forehead, sat down on a chair by the roadside, raised his head, rubbed Kyubey, and began to pet the cat.

After listening to these contents and completing the basic outline of the puzzle, Bai Mo understood the general situation.

It is impossible to persuade Kyubey to stop the experiment or to influence the Incubator with love and justice.

The purpose of the hatcher has not changed from beginning to end. It is just a simple desire to survive and get through this disaster.

To this end, it conducted an experiment, using a tiny planet in the Milky Way as the experimental site, spending tens of thousands of years, using magical girls and witches to attempt the miracle of anti-entropy.

If you really want to change Kyubey, there is only one possibility - destroy the Incubator with force.

"The price of the magical girl's miracle is the Soul Gem and the Seed of Sorrow. What price do you want me to pay for your synthetic Soul Gem?" Bai Mo took out the chess piece calmly.

If you gain something, you must give something, and equal exchange is common sense.

Kyubey raised his head and looked at Baimo: "You don't have to pay a price. Unlike the magical girl, the emotional entropy caused by the unknown variables you brought has already paid the price. As an incubator, I am happy to see you use this unobservable unknown power."

Bai Mo took a deep breath and looked into the distance.

There is no cost to using the synthetic soul gem. The Incubator is happy to see the microscopic impact of every time I swing my power. The data from every use of power is "helping" it to crack the black box.

Should I say it's lucky or unlucky?

"So, even if the Witch Night comes, I won't die, but will always live, right?"

"Yes." Kyubey shook his tail. "According to my experiment on your unknown variables and the emotional entropy of the magical girl's soul gem, your safety level is the highest in the incubator's records."

It seemed that Kyubey was afraid that Baimo didn't believe it, so he shook his paw and projected the scene of the battle in front of Baimo.

On the street in front of the house, Homura Akemi used time stop and threw all kinds of bombs and guns at Bai Mo, the intensity of the situation had reached war.

But all of this was dispelled by Kyubey.

It simply used the power of this shell, causing Homura Akemi's attack to fail.

Bai Mo touched his chin, reached out and clicked the virtual screen, stopping the picture that was advancing with time.

"Isn't her age wrong?"

The Homura Akemi on the virtual screen looked obviously a very young girl, only about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was completely different from the Homura Akemi that Bai Mo saw in Binhai School.

Kyubey nodded and replied: "According to calculations, she may be Homura Akemi from another timeline."

"Travel through time?"

There was a brief pause on Bai Foam's palm.

After the magical girl's ability becomes a black box, it cannot be observed, so Kyubey cannot know why time travel is caused.

Kyubey was able to analyze the logic of Homura Akemi's behavior and concluded that her reincarnation was traveling through time, or even a game player's reload. But he still had no idea about the principle behind it, which came from the changes in the Soul Gem.

"…Go check out the other witches. This is all I can do now. Maybe I can find new content through the witches."

Bai Mo holds Qiu Bi and starts the next action. (End of this chapter)
