After the white light dissipated from view, the four appeared in a white room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Except for the clock, which rested against one wall, the room was empty. Six walls painted white, in the direction directly from the clock is a door.

Hurriedly opened her eyes, which were dry by the white light, and after turning her head to confirm the existence of the three people next to her, Alex's hanging heart relaxed.

And then came a cloud of rage.

"You stupid cow! If there's that kind of mechanism, just tell me in advance! ”

Told of such a dangerous setting the moment the circle took effect, Alex's heart nearly stopped.

Because it's a random teleportation, even if it's teleported to an uninhabited island, you can be considered lucky. If you suddenly appear in the sky a few hundred meters above the ground, get stuck in a huge rock or sink deep in the mantle, it can be a nightmare.

Still in a cold sweat, Alex loudly vented her unease and dissatisfaction to Serra.

"Hey, did I say it's late?"

"Say it to me before you start!"

"But I think it might be a surprise to be stuck in a last-minute big revelation."

"Who would want this horror movie-like surprise!?"

"Is that so?" Serra nodded calmly, "But that can't be helped, because it was my inspiration at that moment." ”

"So you give me a little early...... Hey? Inspiration? ”

Alex was stunned in the middle of speaking.

"Alex, I've been deceived."

“…… Ha? ”

Seeing Alex's stunned expression, Salom sighed.

"Miss Alex, please look back at the clock behind you."

Alex turned away, her gaze fixed on the clock against the wall.

"This is...... It's exactly the same as the one in the warehouse just now......"

"It's not the same, they're the same clock."

"Wait, liar?" Alex's eyes widened: "But that one is obviously in the warehouse......"

"Miss Alex. You are standing in the same position as you were standing in the warehouse. ”

"That...... I don't really understand what you're saying. ”

Salom paused.

"I can't explain the knowledge of magic theory clearly, so I'll let His Highness Ciel explain it on my behalf."

"Wait." Alex caught the strange thing in her words: "If I'm not mistaken...... Hill must be a thief by profession. ”

Seeing Alex's skeptical gaze, Ciel blinked.

"When I was in Hawaii, my dad taught me."

"Are you Kudo ○ichi!?"

Seeing the two of them playing, Salom explained from the side.

"Actually, when His Highness Hill went to the Land of Water on a mission in the past, he was taken by an archmage and gave a month-long lecture."

"What kind of third-rate comic protagonist template is this?"

Alex couldn't help but put on a dead fish eye and complained.

"But that means—" She looked at Ciel expectantly, "You use magic too?" ”

"I only understand theory."

Hill's expressionless face shattered her illusions.

"That's right, it's a thief after all!" Alex's tone seemed disappointed. She still seems to have the practical idea that a magician can set fire to the woods when he gets lost, or make ice cubes in the hot summer.

"So, what is it that Miss Salom says that I am now in the same place as the warehouse?"

"The interior of this room is a space that is integrated and equivalent to the part of the warehouse."

Hill's voice didn't rise or fall.

"......Well, Ciel, you may think you're pretty clear, but I don't understand a word here, right?"

"...... Alex is a fool."

I get it! Because I understood, I was angry! ”

"Modern magical theories hold that space is not an intangible concept, but an entity connected within the same latitude." Ciel, ignoring her restlessness, explained to himself: "Using the magic that outputs special gravitational waves to construct a magic array that stretches and deforms the space, and then positioning it through precise calculations, and touching two points in the same space together, this is the truth of the portal." ”

"I see...... "I don't know if she understood or not, Alex nodded pretendly.

"This room is a small area space fixed in the open space in the middle of the warehouse. Fused together at the same moment by folding, the warehouse and this place are just two sides of the same space. ”

"In other words, the place where I was standing just now is both in the warehouse and here. Or is it a superposition of two places? ”

"There it is! Schrodinger! A long-time Secondary 2 favourite! Serra, who was on the side, suddenly shouted in a state of emotion for some reason.

Salom and Alex, accustomed to her strange behavior, didn't even bother to look back at him, but Ciel turned his head away from Serra.

"Master. Schrödinger, who is it? ”

"Huh? Just a non-existent cat sadist, Hill, you don't need to know. Sierra said, waving her hand.

I searched the name again in my brain, but I still didn't get any results. Hill blinked, deciding to ignore it for now.

"It would be more accurate to say that there are two sides of the coin than superposition." Hill continued: "It's this clock that runs through both sides, unites the two spaces together. ”

Although she was confused, Alex quickly grasped an important point.

"That said, it's not a teleportation at all, is it? So it won't teleport to some unknown place at all? ”

"That's it."

"The conclusion is, this cow is lying to me?" Alex casts an angry look at Serra, who holds the back of her head and looks at the ceiling as if nothing happened.

"That's what I said at the beginning." Hill replied.

"So, do you have anything else to argue?" Alex glared at Sierra with the eyes of a dead man.

"Ha-ha-ha!" Serra pretended to laugh a few times before giving Alex a thumbs up, "Justajok—"

The last note didn't come out as a metal arm guard flew towards her like a cannonball and landed in her face.

When Alex tried to remove the arm guard from her left hand and smash it in her face, Ciel once again grabbed her armpit from behind.

"Alex, no fighting."

"Let go of me Hill! I'm going to knock out four or five of this woman's teeth today—"

"Miss Serra." In the midst of the commotion, Salom walked over to Serra, who had fallen to the ground and had metal arms embedded in her face, and crouched down, "Are you alright?" ”

Sierra didn't speak, just raised her hand to her with a trembling "OK" gesture.

"Well, the three of us will go in first. Please come back to pick us up in half an hour. ”

Salom stood up without hesitation and walked away from her.

"Your Highness Ciel, Miss Alex. Let's go to the training ground as soon as possible. ”

First the sound of the door opening, then the sound of Hill dragging Alex away. After the footsteps of the three people faded away, only a motionless "corpse" was left in the room.
