She has always believed that her observations were correct - although she was not sure what principle this prophetic power of the future worked through. Therefore, she stayed here for half a year. But now a terrible thought arose in her heart.

If that was really the skeleton of Kitagawa Haraki...

This means that Li Zhen has never come to her.

Then that's...

He has not yet awakened.

Yes, awake. She instinctively disliked the word "resurrection". How could she resurrection without death?

But now she felt that her beliefs were not so firm. She also felt that it was because of this small crack that made her breathing difficult, and she felt that the whole world was going to abandon her.

Zhang Kesong stood under the red light covering the night sky, and wanted to use his ability again to "observe".

But she pursed her lips and remembered the words of that person.

That "prophet".

After learning about her news, the man contacted her by phone. At that time, she was in a strictly protected secret room, and there were a large number of guards with live ammunition outside the house, as if she was guarding against enemies who might break into the northern base and break into this confidential area.

The man's first words were-

"You have to leave the empire's land. The powers of the prophets will influence each other."

It took her a long time to think about the meaning of this sentence, but she couldn't figure it out, and in the end it was the one who explained it further-

"The prophets' prophecies are indeed quite accurate - without the interference of others."

"But observation is a powerful and terrifying force that far exceeds all human cognition. This force is mysterious and uncontrollable. Before each observation, you must be fully prepared - maybe you will predict the result you want, but in what way that result is achieved, it is not something you can control."

After saying this, the prophet was silent for a long time, as if waiting for Zhang Kesong to think and ask questions. She savored these words carefully and finally felt something was wrong.

"Prophecy". This means that everything that happens in the future has a fixed number, and the prophet simply records it through "observation" and then conveys it to others.

In this way, both good and bad results have been destined.

So, what does "maybe you will predict the result you want" mean?

Can "prophecy" change with the subjective wishes of the "prophet"? Can "prophet" allow oneself to obtain "good results" instead of "bad results"?

She thought for a long time and asked this question.

The other party's answer was-

"Do you know Schrödinger's cat?"

This is also one of the reasons why she felt good about the flower cat just now - because that little guy reminded her of Schrödinger's cat.

Schrödinger's cat is an ideal experiment on quantum theory. Zhang Kesong was not very interested in this kind of thing, but Li Zhen was once keen on this, so under his subtle influence, she finally knew what the other party asked about it.

A small electron is not as safely in orbit as people imagined as a planet orbits around a star. In fact, it may appear in one place at the same time and in another place at the same time. It can appear in different places at the same time and not stabilize until it is observed.

When quantum theory was first proposed, many people couldn't understand it - even scientists like Schrödinger couldn't understand it.

So he designed an experiment.

Put a cat, a poison gas device containing radioactive nuclei, into an opaque box. The nucleus is 50% likely to decay within an hour. Once it decays, the poison gas will be released to poison the cat.

According to the theory of quantum mechanics, microscopic particles such as atomic nucleus are in a superposition state of "decayed" and "undecayed". This means that when the box is not opened, the cat in the box does not know whether it is dead or alive. It can only be determined by someone's life or death.

The conclusions from this experiment are incredible - because living cats or dead cats will not be transferred by human subjective will.

However, this is because this experiment connects the microscope with the macroscope through a device such as cat, atomic nucleus, and poison gas - and quantum theory was originally only applicable to the microscopic field.

Zhang Kesong truthfully told what he knew, and finally added, "I don't understand much."

The other party seemed to smile and said something that shocked her to the extreme—

"So if I say, for the prophet, the world we are in is a huge box, and everything around us is that cat, what do you think?"

Zhang Kesong was surprised for a long time, and then his mind was awake. Although she was not proficient in quantum theory, this did not mean that she knew nothing. It took a while before she asked tentatively-

"You mean that the prophet's observation is equivalent to 'opening the lid'. And what will happen in the future... is determined because of our observation?"

The other party said with approval—

"You are very smart. You are worthy of being a prophet to accept such things in such a short time. The essence of our 'observation' is not to 'prophecy' the future, but to 'create' the future in a sense and 'determine' the future."

But in fact, Zhang Kesong's head was buzzing at this time.

"Create" the future because of "observation"...

She couldn't believe that the "prophet" would have such power. Things like saving the world alone were simply insignificant compared to this ability, right?!

The other party seemed to feel her surprise, so he continued to say—

"But you have to be clear that there is not only one prophet in this world. You, I, the prophet of the Gate of Truth. And perhaps there are other people living in other corners of the world. Or the same example, if one person opens the box, maybe the nucleus has decayed and the cat is dead. Another person opens the box, maybe the nucleus has not decayed and the cat is still alive. What if several people open it at the same time? Whose observation shall prevail?"

"—This is the problem we, the prophets, have to face. More powerful people will have an impact on others, and weak people will have an impact on others. The difference is that powerful people play a decisive role."

Zhang Kesong decided to temporarily suppress the shock in his heart, restore his mind to wake up, and ask a key question-

"You mean, if I want to keep Li Zhen alive, but the prophet of the Gate of Truth wants to make Li Zhen die... Then will her observation change my results?"

The other party did not answer her positively. Instead, he said-

"I made an observation before Operation Shennongjia. That time, I wanted species to be killed. But what I saw was that species died, and the blood of millions of people was soaked in the land."

"This is what I said to you before. You must be mentally prepared before observing. For example, if you want Li Zhen to live - he is alive, or die, every result may occur in the future world. If you are unlucky and see him die... Then you have a big favor to the Gate of Truth. His future is solidified and he will die. In order not to panic among ordinary people, we must learn to hide our strength, so this result becomes the "prophecy" we "prophecy" in our mouths. We "prophecy" Li Zhen will die - in their opinion, this has nothing to do with us observers, and that is the destined ending of the future."

"But when a prophet observes, a stronger person, such as me, the prophet at the Gate of Truth, will feel your vague subjective consciousness. Perhaps for some purpose, others will also observe. He may not know what the result of your observation is, but he will inevitably want to cause you some trouble. The observation of a more powerful prophet will also change something-"

"This change will cause uncontrollable results. Maybe you have heard a story - a poor man prayed to the devil and asked him to have a lot of wealth. The devil promised him. So the next day, the poor's parents, wives, and children all died, and he received a lot of compensation. The result of "owning a lot of wealth" was achieved, but the process... may not be what you want."

"The more uncertain the big event, the more vague the results we can get. If you plan to observe a result of 'world peace no longer disputes' one day... it may be realized. However, the way to achieve this is that millions of years later, human beings perished due to the impact of a meteorite - there will be no disputes again, and world peace."

"So our power is a power that can change the world, but it is also a devilish power. It is this kind of constraint that every prophet cannot "observe" something without any scruples. Because the result of observation may not be what you want, and the process of achieving the result you want may not be something you can bear. Don't try to observe "big events" that you can't even control yourself. Don't use this ability unless you have to."

“Especially when it comes to people around you, use it with caution.”

He said a lot, and Zhang Kesong listened quietly for a long time.

Finally she said—

"What you want to say is that, for better or worse, the final result observed by the observer will be determined. However, the process of achieving this result may be interfered with by other observers. It is either merely a trivial trouble or an unacceptable twists and turns, and we all have to bear it."

"Yes." The other party replied briefly.

He finally said: "Good luck, little girl. Remember to keep this secret strictly. The reason why I have always been incognito is because of this reason. Your true identity is known to many people... If you don't want to die, keep your mouth shut."
