440. Laplace Demon

"No...... No? Yan Xiuze's smile froze on his face, obviously not understanding the meaning of Thomas's words: "What's not it?" ”

"I still can't guess why you could mistake my superpowers...... "Thomas said slowly, "but I have to warn you that my superpowers don't predict the future. ”

"Your superpower isn't predicting the future? It shouldn't be......" Yan Xiuze muttered, "For ...... Why is it only you who are different......"

"Are you trying to say that it may be because of the changes in the world line, which has led to the inconsistency of Thomas's abilities in the two worlds? No, no, no, I think you're completely wrong in the right direction. Thomas smiled and continued, "If the abilities of each supernatural in the two worlds are similar, then my abilities will definitely not deviate too much. ”

"Yes...... You just said that your superpower is not to predict the future! Yan Xiuze said loudly: "But you clearly and accurately predicted our arrival before?" ”

"Yes, it was predicted by my abilities, but ...... It's not about predicting the future. "But it's no wonder that my abilities are superficially similar to 'Future Sighting,' and it's easy to confuse them if you're not particularly familiar with the principles." ”

"Having said all that, what exactly are you capable of?" The fan on the side looked at Thomas, who had been avoiding looking at him, and said curiously: "And...... Actually, your conversation from the beginning is very jumpy, it's like ...... It's like watching one less episode of the TV series, are you really meeting for the first time? ”

"You have too many questions." Thomas simply closed his eyes and said slowly, "But I never mind answering all the doubts of a beautiful lady. ”

The voices in the living room of the villa disappeared all at once, Thomas was closing his eyes and recuperating, as if preparing the next wording, while Yan Xiuze and Fanxin, who were still in doubt, stared at Thomas who was stuck on the sofa motionlessly, trying to get a reasonable explanation.

After this silence lasted for a while, Thomas, who had been keeping his eyes closed, finally spoke slowly: "Do you know the 'Laplace Demon'? ”

"Of course......" Yan Xiuze's physical foundation is excellent, and he almost subconsciously explains the specific meaning of the word: "The Laplace demon comes from a hypothesis put forward by the French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace in 1814, that is, if there is a 'demon' in this world who can know the exact position and momentum of each atom in the universe, he can deduce the past, present, and future of the entire universe." ”

"But this theory is actually based on classical mechanics, and after the establishment of the theory of quantum mechanics, the Laplace demon has been proven to be unfeasible."

"Of course I know that this theory is flawed, but I just want to show that my abilities are very similar to this hypothesis." Thomas said slowly: "My superpower is actually a kind of 'compound ability', which includes 'the ability to observe things at the molecular level', 'the ability to reason logically far beyond the limits of ordinary people', 'the slow thinking that can greatly extend the thinking time', and the 'super memory ability'. ”

"You can combine these skills and take a second look...... It's basically a weakened version of the 'Laplace Demon'. ”

"That's why I said that my abilities are very similar to 'predicting the future', but they are two completely different things, the future is unpredictable, and I can figure out as many paths as possible as possible, but I can't be 'omniscient'...... That's the realm that God can reach. ”

"Just like now, I can only deduce from the information available that in another parallel world, everyone mistakenly thinks that 'my' superpower is 'future-seeking'......"

"And the reason why the 'I' of the other world has to lie about my abilities is probably to avoid calamity?"

"But what kind of scourge requires confusion to be avoided? I thought of many possibilities, the biggest of which was that the 'me' of the other world was involved in a criminal dispute that required a judgment of ability, perhaps a homicide, or a traffic accident...... And 'I' is the defendant in this criminal dispute. ”

"Maybe 'I' need to prove my innocence, and that's when my superpowers are crucial."

"The two abilities of 'predicting the future' and 'Laplace Demon' are almost the difference between 'legitimate defense' and 'intentional homicide'."

"But...... Since the information is so limited, I can only reason about it here. Thomas said leisurely: "Maybe you don't mind telling me a little bit more about what kind of person Thomas is in the other world?" I'm interested in that. ”

"I see, I see......" Yan Xiuze muttered a little dejectedly, "It turns out that your ability was not to predict the future from the beginning......"

Immediately, he became crying and laughing again: "Haha, we were all deceived by Thomas!" ”

"Looks like I'm causing a little bit of trouble for my self in another world." Thomas shrugged, but his nonchalant expression betrayed his true thoughts.

Maybe he didn't care about causing trouble to 'himself' in the first place.

"Yes, 'Thomas' is indeed in trouble, strictly speaking, he used a method of concealment to escape the sanction of public opinion." Yan Xiuze gritted his teeth and said.

"Sanctions of 'public opinion'? I see......" Thomas keenly captured Yan Xiuze's words: "It seems that no matter whether he misinterprets his ability or not, he can escape the punishment of the 'law'......"

"Of course, whether he is in trouble or not depends on whether I can return to the original world."

"Hmm, let me think about it." Thomas propped his chin and pretended to ponder, "You wanted to go back to the original world, so you found me...... But according to my own assessment, I don't have what it takes to send you back, so the only possibility is that you're hoping to find someone through me who can bring you back to another world? And that person, I probably know and can be contacted? ”

"That's right, the person I'm looking for is a superpower in New York City, but I don't really know where the superpowers in New York are active now, and the only public information I can find on the Internet is you." Yan Xiuze said in a deep voice: "I think, if you are both superpowers, maybe you will have circles that intersect with each other. ”

"Who are you looking for? Let me guess. Thomas went on to reason: "There are not a few superpowers in New York, but most of them are secretive and low-key...... But the ...... that can send a person to a parallel world I haven't found out yet. ”

"The only explanation, then, is that the profession in which they were originally engaged was capable of doing that...... Given that parallel worlds are a physical concept, the person you are looking for must be working in the field of physics, or at least in the field of physics...... Then the identity of the person you are looking for is about to be revealed. ”

Thomas smiled:

"The person you're looking for is Bai Xuyan?"
