Chapter 759 Neon is sinking, are you serious?
"Haven't you investigated this in all these years?"
Fujino glanced at Koizumi Hongzi suspiciously: "With your abilities, it should be easy to find out these things, right? And if they hunt you, won't you resist?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do anything."
Koizumi Hongzi sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes: "In Europe hundreds of years ago, there were many schools of magic besides our Red Magic... We made friends with some big shots and used magic to help them and the local people. For a period of time, we prevented wizards, witches, and wizards from being slaughtered as heretics. We each supported and controlled our own forces, so naturally we didn't have the same opinions."
"However, at the same time, Europe also experienced an unprecedented natural disaster, the Black Death, and various wars and plagues, and witches and wizards were considered the source of these disasters... For their own benefit, the Church used this to instigate the people and the authorities to massacre us. No one, whether ordinary people or witches, escaped."
"When the Holy See's purge came, we were still arguing with each other. In the end, most of the witches and wizards were slaughtered. The remaining people fled Europe and went to various countries. As a result, our Red Magic lineage came to Neon..."
At this point, Koizumi Hongzi's face became serious for a moment, and she put on her witch's airs again, saying seriously: "Compared to revenge against the Church, letting the Red Magic continue to be passed down is what the legitimate successor of the Red Magic should do."
"Oh, I get it."
Fujino understood immediately.
Perhaps it was the psychological trauma caused by the witch being slaughtered.
As a proud (tsundere) witch, she certainly wouldn't say that she was afraid.
What is fear?
This is called preserving the bloodline of red magic!
…………
Fujino chatted with Koizumi Akako for a while.
I found that she didn't know as much about the Knights Templar as I did...
Is this reasonable?
That makes sense.
Rebellion may lead to the extinction of inheritance, which is unacceptable. Instead of fighting to the death and risking the extinction of the bloodline, it is better to lie low and develop quietly.
Therefore, the Red Magic lineage has been passed down to this day.
It's just that the Red Magic family is not very populous, and it is almost impossible for them to give birth to offspring. Even giving birth takes longer than normal people, so today only Koizumi Hongzi is left.
Under the subtle influence of this idea, Koizumi Akako also became a low-life.
After all, if she died, red magic would be completely extinct.
So even though she was usually extremely arrogant, and even dared to use a magic circle to put on a witch's COS costume to attack Kidd, she didn't dare to touch on what happened back then at all.
Although he knew that Hongzi was afraid, Fujino still felt a little speechless:
"So if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't even know that Ambostera Industries is a vest of the Knights Templar?"
"Of course. After all, I didn't take the initiative to touch their territory, so how could I know?"
Koizumi Hongzi took it for granted. Seeing Fujino looking at her in confusion, she immediately explained, "Everything in this world has a 'domain'. Once involved in a domain, it will actively attract the domain's approach. The deeper the domain is involved, the more things you will naturally understand."
Then, she gave another example: "For example, if I had never paid attention to you, then I would naturally not know you. Since I had never known you, we would not be sitting here talking about this today."
At this point, Koizumi Hongzi folded her hands under her chest, puffed out her chest, and said confidently: "Similarly, as long as I don't set foot in their territory, then they can't find me."
Well, once I accept my own weakness, I am invincible!
Fujino looked at Koizumi Hongzi's "Sakura" look, and a voice echoed in his mind: "Something happened to the kidney..."
Fujino felt a little confused. He took a deep breath and asked, "As long as it doesn't involve cause and effect, there will be no results or anything like that... How is this thing you're talking about the same as the law of cause and effect?"
"You can say that." Koizumi Hongzi pinched her chin, "But some things can't be avoided by not getting involved. Even if there is no cause involved, there will be results due to various things, as if it is destined."
As she spoke, there was a hint of helplessness in her tone: "This is what I discovered when I was fortune-telling. I also found it in the records. I can see what will happen in the future through fortune-telling and make changes, but not everything can be changed... Even if I make changes, those things will always happen again through various coincidences."
Fujino felt that what Koizumi Hongzi said was very familiar: "Are you talking about the theory of "Convergence of World Lines"? "
Koizumi Hongzi looked over in confusion: "The convergence of the world line?"
Fujino nodded, dipped his head in the tea, and drew three lines on the coffee table in front of him: "Suppose our world is a line, this line is divided into the original line, the ongoing line, and the future line."
"In theory, anything can cause the future line to change, but the line is fixed at a certain node, just like a rubber band. If you force the lines together, even if the future line changes, it will be pulled back by the rubber band."
Fujino also gave an example: "I wanted to kill someone last night. He had a high weight in the future line. When I was about to kill him, the world line triggered a repair mechanism, which interfered with the current line in a coincidental way."
As the legitimate heir of the Red Magic, a chuunibyou, and a pure-blooded witch, Koizumi Akako immediately understood the theory of "the convergence of world lines."
She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and followed Fujino's train of thought: "And the result of the repair is that the person can't die no matter what, right?"
"Yes, it's as if everything is the choice of Steins;Gate."
Fujino found it easy to talk to a like-minded Chuunibyou witch.
It's easy to understand what he said...
But he is not a chuunibyou.
Koizumi Hongzi bit her little finger, her eyes full of thoughts. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly said, "If that's the case, Fujino, I suggest you don't kill that person."
"why?"
"The world line convergence you mentioned may be the rule by which this world operates. Changing the rules of the world line is in itself destroying the world."
Koizumi Hongzi lowered her eyes, her face serious: "If the rules of the world are broken, who knows..."
"Unsure of what?"
Fujino looked at her and said, "Big sister, please stop keeping me in suspense, okay?"
"In fact, I do not know."
Koizumi Hongzi smiled awkwardly: "If it's mild, a replacement for that person will appear. If it's severe, the entire Neon may be wiped out and sunk by the world."
"..."
Fujino was silent for a moment, then leaned closer to her and asked seriously, "Are you serious about Neon sinking?"
Koizumi Hongzi: "..."
Why do I feel like you seem very excited?
Koizumi Hongzi's mouth twitched and she explained:
"This is also what I saw in the records. One of our Red Magic ancestors once made such a guess, which is: "Atlantis is most likely sunk because a certain prophet predicted a certain future.""
Then, she continued to explain: "If combined with your theory of world line convergence, then the witch's conjecture is complete. I think Atlantis at that time should have predicted a certain future and tried to interfere... The final result led to the sinking of Atlantis."
