The large house in front of me gave me an incongruous feeling.
I believed that I wasn't the only one who felt the same way. That was because Shallow Shallow and Lin Xue were frowning, while Sandora was staring at the house in front of her with a serious expression. Pandora still appeared calm, but her eyes had turned into a pupil-less purple-red color when she was in combat mode. This meant that she had activated all of her combat analysis modules. Among the group, Little Bubble was the only one who had no combat experience. However, as a high-level Shiring Apostles, the talent hidden in the depths of her soul made her instinctively sense danger. That was why she immediately ran to my side and grabbed my sleeve tightly while pointing at the large house in front of us. "Yiyiyaya!" Although I couldn't understand what she was saying, I could clearly sense her fear.
This definitely couldn't be due to us being overly sensitive. Every single one of us here possessed terrifying power. It was impossible for a strange atmosphere to cause us to have the wrong instincts. Now that we sensed something strange about the house in front of us, it proved that there was indeed something abnormal here — not only that, it was slightly dangerous.
I suddenly regretted bringing Little Bubble along with me. Originally, I thought that this was just a playful adventure. I never expected that there would actually be such a strange house here. Perhaps we wouldn't have to fear any danger, but Little Bubble wasn't that powerful. The Schilling AI wasn't a combat type Apostle to begin with, and Little Bubble was still a child that hadn't grown up yet. Apart from the fact that she had constructed some immature mechanical toys, the current Little Bubble wasn't any stronger than an ordinary person.
Should we just go back like this?
Although I was unwilling, if the things in this big house could really harm Little Bubble, I would definitely turn around and leave without hesitation. In this kind of situation, it would be foolish to still care about my pride or anything like that.
"Lin Xue, is it dangerous?" At a time like this, even Pandora's full frequency radar wasn't reliable. The only one among us who could point out the situation was Lin Xue, the super prophet.
Lin Xue also realized that the situation here wasn't normal. She couldn't be bothered to bicker with me out of habit. Instead, she closed her eyes and a series of chaotic images flashed across her mind. At the same time, the various energy data of the entire island appeared clearly in her mind.
"There's no danger …" Lin Xue furrowed her eyebrows and sounded confused. "I don't have a premonition that anything that could harm us would happen, but it's a little strange … I don't understand …"
"Strange?" I didn't understand. Although Lin Xue was usually mischievous and playful, she was definitely a competent prophet after activating her superpower. Her precise grasp of the future made her filled with confidence at all times. It was the first time I saw someone who knew about the future but had a confused look on her face.
"I can see scenes of the future, but they are all chaotic fragments. There are many large shadows and strange information that I can't understand mixed in. What's even stranger is that I can actually see two different futures at the same time, and these two future scenes are overlapping!"
My first reaction was — — What does this girl mean?
Seeing that I was confused, Lin Xue explained, "The future can be changed, but it is unique. After a point in time is determined, the future scene will appear in a fixed state. Even if the future is changed and two different scenes appear, these two scenes will appear in different parallel timelines independently of each other. It is impossible for them to overlap. It's like there are two identical parallel universes with the same you existing at the same time. At the same time, one you is alive and the other you is dead. This is possible, but it is impossible for the same you to be alive and dead at the same time in the same space and time. Even Schrodinger's cat can only maintain this state in theory."
Alright, I understand. But in such a serious and high-end explanation, is there a need to torment me to death? Can't you live if you don't make sarcastic remarks at me, you damned girl!
Although Lin Xue's example was full of points that made me gnash my teeth in anger, we still understood her description. In other words, she saw two completely different future scenes appearing at the same time in the same place. Although her intuition told her that no matter what the future was, there was nothing that could threaten us here, this abnormal situation still made her feel quite uneasy.
"Could it be that there is a powerful energy disturbance nearby?" I thought of such a possibility. After all, superpowers aren't machines, it is impossible for them to malfunction. This kind of thing is more reliable than all technological means, so there must be a reasonable reason for it to appear abnormal. Lin Xue's current situation is very likely to be disturbed by an external energy.
"No," Lin Xue shook her head, "Although there is a strange energy flow nearby, the energy intensity of the entire island is very low. It is not enough to interfere with my prophecy ability. Even if my ability is disturbed, the future scene should be blurred and not the wrong result like this."
Now I was a little hesitant.
According to what Lin Xue said, this house was really strange. If it was just the few of us, we didn't have to worry about this strange thing, and it would be fine to have a good adventure in the haunted house. But now that Little Bubble is with us, I don't know if she will be hurt. Although Lin Xue repeatedly promised that she would not experience any danger in the future, I still felt a little worried when her superpower malfunctioned for an unknown reason.
"Fortunately, I decisively left this place when I was young," Lin Xue said with a little fear, "Was my premonition ability already so strong at that time?"
"Let's not talk about this first. Now, do we go in or go back?" Looking at the big house in front of me that was filled with a mysterious aura, my heart was already itching. If I turned around now, I really wouldn't be able to bear it!
"This is really interesting …" At this moment, Sandora suddenly spoke and then extended her left hand forward. Immediately, we saw something that looked like a water ripple appear near the big house, "There seems to be a space-time anomaly here …"
Why are all the girls around me able to casually say such sophisticated words to make me feel ashamed? Was I born to be an unlucky guy who would always play the role of a shameless person?
The only thing worth rejoicing was that Sandora was completely on my side, unlike Lin Xue, who always regarded sarcasm as her ultimate goal in life. She saw the blank expression on my face and immediately explained in the simplest way possible, "It is a phenomenon of space-time anomaly."
"Under normal circumstances, space is smooth and complete, and everything has a unique coordinate. In other words, there can only be one fixed object in a space-time point, and there can only be one unique space. However, there are no absolutes in this world, and occasionally, space will collapse or even fold. You can imagine a piece of white paper, when it is spread out, a needle will only create a hole, but if we roll the paper into a ball, a needle will create a series of holes, and from the trajectory of the needle, all the holes will overlap. At most, there will be some deviation in the details, and that is the situation of the house in front of us now."
Shallow Shallow nodded, indicating that she understood.
Lin Xue nodded, indicating that she understood.
Pandora nodded, indicating that she already knew about this theory.
Little Bubble nodded, because she saw her sisters nodding as well.
I wanted to cry … could it be that at this moment, my intelligence was on the same level as Little Bubble's?
After a long time, I finally understood Sandora's description. With a curious gaze, I looked at the big house in front of me and asked, "In other words, the space around this house is folded together, and we only see one house, but in reality, who knows how many houses, or even how many spaces, are compressed into such a small area? Is that why Lin Xue is able to see multiple scenes of the future in the same space-time line? "
"You finally understand …" Everyone said at the same time …
"…" I expressed my silence.
After knowing the reason for the abnormality, we made up our minds to go in and explore. To ordinary people, or even normal metahumans, the chaotic space was definitely a dangerous place that they would never be able to come out from, but the few of us were not worried about this problem at all. With the omnipotent loli Pandora around, even if we were to fall into another world, we could treat it as a sightseeing tour.
As for the problem of accidents, after knowing that the situation just now wasn't due to Lin Xue's metahuman being being inaccurate, I no longer doubted her words of 'no danger'. Since that was the case, what were we waiting for?
Let's begin our haunted house adventure!
