Maybe it's just a simple coincidence.,It seems that hanging out with Hoshikawa after school has rarely happened recently.。 Recently, all kinds of unexpected things have happened too often, so often that they seem to give people the illusion that mountains and rains are coming.

Of course, there really is no basis for this. Even Hoshikawa himself around him, the content of the foreknowledge cannot be blurred to such an extent. If you want to say it, maybe Kaoru Tateki may be able to feel something. As for Dome himself, it is true that he does not have this type of ability.

Speaking of which......

A strange thought came to her mind, she blinked, and suddenly turned to the Hoshikawa beside her.

"No, there's a question I'm curious about, can you ask?"

Xingchuan, who had been walking quietly beside her all along, didn't know why, and seemed to be a few seconds slower before reacting. It was as if she heard something whispered, but she didn't hear it clearly. But before she could ask, Hoshikawa nodded.

That way, you don't have to think about what she's talking about. Perhaps, it's just language recovery training.

Taking a slight breath, Dome gathered her thoughts and began to ask.

"No, with your ability, can you assist others, so as to improve the ability level of others?"

Hoshikawa silently took a few steps.

The question did seem too strange, but after thinking about it for a while, Hoshikawa immediately understood why she was asking.

Essentially, it has to do with the nature of superpowers.

According to the theory, there is only one word that can be summed up in one of the key factors that determine the type of superpower, and that is "observation".

Observe a wave function and collapse it to a certain point.

Observation is the result of probability, and different people make different observations and produce different outcomes.

This observation of different people is what is called "personal reality".

For example, Mikoto Misaka's observation caused the wave function in this area to collapse to the probability of conforming to lightning, so lightning appeared here.

As for what Mikoto Misaka was in the area before the observation, it didn't matter at all. Because before being observed, this region was just a bunch of probability waves.

By and large, so-called superpowers are just that.

This makes Hoshikawa's ability dyed with a strange color.

The ability of the galaxy, the Hilbert space projection effect, is precisely the mathematical representation of the phenomenon itself by determining uncertain probability waves.

"Can't do it......" Hoshikawa said in a weak voice, "My personal reality, Hilbert Space, if you want to improve your abilities, you have to think the same, right?" ”

Her words sounded a little illogical (the after-effects of the rampant ability), but Qiongno understood. Indeed, this is an insurmountable obstacle.

The so-called observation collapses the wave function – or decoherence in the superposition state – from the observer's standpoint. In other words, unless it is a personal reality at the same time, even if her ability can cause the wave function to collapse to a certain probability position, it will not be able to make the two show the same result and magnify the result.

"Indeed...... I'm just curious, don't pay too much attention to it. ”

If anything, the result should be obvious. It's just her brother's words from before, which made her can't help but think of some transitions.

At this time, Xingchuan suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to point ahead.

Looking in the direction she was pointing, she saw that it was a roadside stall selling shaved ice. Of course, this is not what Hoshikawa is referring to.

She was referring to Mikoto Misaka and Kuroko Shirai, who were buying shaved ice in front of the stall.

"It's incredible, it's so much cooler when I hear the wind chimes."

Kuroko Shirai stared at the shaking wind chimes and said meaninglessly.

"Oh, that's what it's called synesthesia."

Before Mai Trin could finish speaking, she said with a beautiful voice interface like a virtual singer.

"That's pretty much what it feels like, but there's still so much to be told about empathy itself. For example, if there is a lot of connection, the memory of the person concerned will become very strong. And the ultimate in synesthesia is probably the so-called intuitive linkage. ”

Mikoto Misaka and Kuroko Shirai turned around and saw Qiongno bowing to them gently. Out of politeness, they couldn't help but return the salute. Although both of them can be said to be far from the Tokiwadai lady in the impression of ordinary students, at least in front of her, even the two of them will consider the issue of etiquette.

However, Hoshikawa didn't do it, and she spent a while staring at Shirai Kuroko until she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had solved some misunderstanding.

Shirai was a little uncomfortable. She didn't remember where she had offended the other party, and if she really wanted to say it, it was the Void Explosion incident. However, as far as Tokiwadai's reputation is concerned, the other party doesn't seem to be such a cautious person.

To be honest, Shirai can't cope with this senior sister who is even shorter than himself. Not only is it difficult to get along with in terms of personality, but even in terms of ability, she is also the opponent of a person with spatial ability like herself.

If you fight her, you will lose a hundred if you fight a hundred clubs.

This is not the slightest exaggeration, this petite senior sister can be said to be the natural enemy of almost all spatial abilities. The reason why I say almost is because all but one circumstance, all spatial abilities can be ignored in front of her.

Interestingly, this exception is a different kind of spatial ability, which in turn restricts her abilities. Like the one next to her.

So these two people actually got together, and I always felt that there was some coincidence.

"Ah, Kaihara-san, Hoshikawa-san. Would you like to have a drink? Even if I'm in for a treat. ”

"Sister, I just said that everyone pays their own ......"

"Your word is the exception."

"Ah~~Sister~~~"

Watching their interaction, Dome and Hoshikawa glanced at each other.

It's hard to understand their strange situation.

"Well, you're welcome."

"Kaihara-san, what is the situation of the synesthesia you just mentioned?"

"I don't know much about that, but Miss Tachiki is a synesthesia." Dome gently poked the shaved ice with a small spoon, "It is said that synesthesia itself exists in too many possibilities. You've met Miss Tateki too, right? I don't know if you've noticed anything. ”

"Notice what...... That person? Mai Tamin tapped her cheek with her finger, "That person seems to know what we want to do before we react, right?" ”

Kuroko Shirai nodded.

"I used to think she was a mind reader."

Both of them had seen Kaoru Tateki before, and they were very impressed.

"It's not that you know what you're trying to do, but that you can see your mood swings. For her, our mood changes like colors. Now that you know how your mood changes, you will be able to judge how you will react. That's what she's capable of, and it's a problem for me. ”

Dome couldn't help but smile wryly, this girl who has always given people an intellectual and indifferent expression showed this almost helpless expression, with a strange cuteness.

"Misaka-senpai, Shirai-san, and Kaihara-sensia, ah, this is ......"

While they were talking, another girl came who they knew very well.

"Satian-san, this is what I told you last time, my roommate Hoshikawa didn't."

Dome stood up and introduced to Saten generously. However, Hoshikawa hid behind her.

"That...... Did I do something? ”

Saten was confused, but Hoshikawa also quietly shook his head.

A thought flashed through Dono's mind, and it made her delicate and beautiful eyebrows furrow.

Because, she thought of a possibility.

"No, is something bad going to happen to Zuotian?"

As soon as she said this, even Mikoto and Shirai became concerned.

Hoshikawa has the ability to predict, which is something that Tokiwadai students know. But it's also true that her abilities can be blurred when it comes to expanding the scope.

Could it be that she saw a projection of some unfortunate omen at this latitude?

But Hoshikawa's answer was that after moving his lips, he still shook his head.

What's going on?

Hoshikawa is actually not such a reticent person, but recently there has been a problem with the recovery of language dysfunction. Especially after the previous hospitalization, the symptoms had a serious recurrence, which made her have to say as little as possible.

In the past, Hoshikawa would only react like this when he saw something that was not very good and predicted. But this time, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? ”

Zuo Tian was even more confused.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell. But I seem to see you connecting with a lot of people......"

Xingchuan's words made several girls present look at each other.

What is this? Even Hoshikawa himself can't tell. In the end, they had to put the topic aside for the time being.

However, the expression of being connected with many people made Dome fall into a certain kind of thinking.

She felt as if she was aware of something. But it's just a little bit worse, and there's just no way to remember it.

"By the way, classmate Zuotian, why didn't you see classmate Chuchun?"

"I've got a summer cold, and I'm about to send her medicine."

Although the topic continued, Hoshikawa was no longer listening.

All her attention was focused on the girl Zuotian at this time.

Sometimes, she was able to see something. And sometimes, you can't even see it, it's just a mess of information.

Projected from another possible dimension, it is always only distorted information. For her, this provided her with a means of becoming aware of a possible future. Some of Hilbert's spatial knowledge can be found from the diagram, and the future itself is only a distorted projection of possibility. Most of the time, it's not even possible to decipher it at all.

However, she did "see" something.

It's like a huge net, bringing countless people together and connecting them together.

"By the way, I have something to ask you, I don't know if it's okay?"

In Xingchuan's eyes, the girl who was captured by the net clasped her hands together and said.

So, she gently closed her eyes like stars and drove all these thoughts out of her mind.

Lately, she has become more and more aware that her abilities have brought nothing more than confusion to her. Because her abilities have become a metaphor for the word "fate", this kind of reckless thing has always taken pleasure in confusing others.

However, to say this is to be too anthropomorphic. In the final analysis, fate itself is nothing more than the result of the collapse and patchwork of countless wave functions, not some transcendent existence. It is precisely because of this that people are powerless.

Actually, she saw something else.

Behind that huge net, there is a mirage-like landscape.

(You should be watching all of this, right?) ）

She thought so.
