It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 349 The Lost World Line
"Parallel world...?"

Itsuka Kotori frowned slightly.

Even in her black-bellied sister personality mode, she was able to serve as the captain of a ship of Flaxinus, demonstrating her remarkable abilities.

And it can convince the public, at least make the majority not object.

But there was no way to change the fact that she was just a fourteen-year-old junior high school student, so she was naturally unfamiliar with those overly mysterious cutting-edge theories.

"Why didn't I know about this kind of thing before?"

"Isn't that natural? I didn't know it before either. Isn't it normal for you not to know?"

Tokisaki Kurumi chuckled and spoke quietly, while looking up at the people around her.

"...!!"

The expressions and eyes of many people changed slightly in an instant, and they subconsciously took a small step back, or tensed their bodies and took instinctive defensive postures.

It's no wonder they behave this way.

It was really because this "Nightmare" was too notorious. The number of humans who died at her hands alone had already reached five figures according to the records.

Moreover, this was not something that was affected by the space shock wave, and it was not something that could be determined by the will of the elves themselves...

Rather, it was the result of her purposeful choice to hunt, and this was the key point.

So even if the captain chose to let "Nightmare" on board, they did not object to it, but deep down in their hearts they still instinctively felt wary and fearful of it.

"Eh?"

Itsuka Shido looked around in a daze.

The main thing was that the people around him almost all retreated in unison, which was a bit too obvious. This made him, who was standing there stupidly and unable to react, look like a conspicuous bag.

what's the situation?
Did something happen? Why didn't I feel anything?

Apart from Gokawa Shido, who was completely confused, the only one who remained completely silent was Gokawa Kotori. She just sat quietly in the captain's seat with a pout.

There is also Murasame Reion.

Although the analyst pretended to be vigilant, she also showed her firmness and fearlessness.

Instead of blindly following the reactions of people around him, he implemented his own unique personality very well.

"It seems like you are very afraid of me..."

Tokisaki Kurumi smiled like a flower, stretched out her little hand to cover her mouth gently, as if she was teasing something, but that deliberately lowered voice still made people's hair stand on end.

How should I put it? It's like seeing a predator in disguise, but actually ready to attack at any time.

When we realize this, we can't help but feel nervous and doubtful.

"Okay, stop pretending. This is our territory. You'd better not do anything that might cause us to misunderstand..."

Kotori Itsuka snorted and spoke unhappily from her seat in the captain's seat, interrupting Tokisaki Kurumi's words.

Although we know that "Nightmare" has a bad reputation, we are all elves, so it is not something to be afraid of.

Anyway, the organization has already transformed and the new boss is right around the corner.

Besides, the original plan for the elves has been shelved and a new plan has to be implemented, so the commander will naturally not be polite.

We still need to attach importance to it, but we no longer need to conduct KPI assessment based on favorability. Naturally, we no longer need to constantly worry about gaining the approval of the elves and making them identify with the organization and society...

"Ha, that's a really hurtful thing to say, Kotori..."

Tokisaki Kurumi let out a sigh, and couldn't help shaking her head, making a clicking sound, pretending to be very sad.

"Aren't we the best of sisters?"

"No." Itsuka Kotori shook her head decisively, denying: "I don't remember that we are so familiar with each other, don't try to get close to me..."

“But I remember.”

Tokisaki Kurumi interjected with a smile.

"you--"

Itsuka Kotori's expression stiffened slightly.

"It's because... of that parallel world line you mentioned?"

At this time, the analyst also spoke up very calmly, her eyes roaming back and forth between the two Tobiichi Origami.

She had a vague guess.

Could it be that Origami Tobiichi's situation is not that she will kill Ailian in the future, inherit the spirit crystal, and become the second elf.

But...

From the very beginning, she received the spirit crystal from "herself" and changed her job directly?
But, is it in another possible world line?
Almost in an instant, Murasame Reine realized the truth of that possibility, and a storm of emotions secretly arose in her heart.

"Ah, that's right..."

Tokisaki Kurumi admitted it lightly, nodded with a smile, and glanced at the analyst -

"As expected, Miss Lingyin is still smart and her reactions are as quick as ever."

She seemed to be familiar with Murasame Reion to some extent, but she also did not realize that the analyst on the Fraxinus was actually her long-cherished enemy.

It is also the root cause of all your suffering.

Otherwise, they would probably have started a fight on the spot.

The analyst forced a smile, but it was normal, and everyone understood and didn't think anything else about it. "This is ridiculous. Even if you said it seriously, in our eyes you are just a stranger who is making friends here..."

Kotori Itsuka took a deep breath and waved her hands vigorously.

She also felt very strange. This "nightmare" had no self-awareness at all. Or rather, it was too self-aware.

From the moment he boarded the ship until now, it seems that he has never been polite at all.

Not only in the words, but also in the details of the expression and behavior, even a non-professional like Gokawa Kotori could vaguely see it -

The other party was not unfamiliar with Flaxinus, and even felt a sense of familiarity.

Not only to the people on the ship, but also to the ship itself.

It was as if...as if she had been on this ship for a long time...

"This is not a pretense, but something that I have actually experienced. The same is true for you, Kotori, and Origami. I am very familiar with you all, as well as the other elves..."

Tokisaki Kurumi once again stole a glance in a certain direction, then sighed and said.

"Of course, maybe I'm the only one who has this memory now."

"..."

"..."

"So, there really is a parallel world?" Itsuka Kotori lowered her head in thought, then asked seriously, trying to confirm this information -

"We just didn't know that before?"

"There are indeed parallel worlds, but... it's not necessarily that we didn't know about them before, but that this concept didn't exist before. It didn't really exist."

Tokisaki Kurumi organized her words and then sighed: "It is said that there are infinite possibilities before and after the wave function collapses, but it may only be a possibility, and theory is only a theory..."

She spread her hands and said, "Anyway, I don't understand the details. They are too complicated and obscure."

"..."

"..."

Itsuka Kotori narrowed her eyes: "Then why is there another one later?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's a monster that flew in from another timeline or another world, or maybe it's just some kind of phenomenon..."

Tokisaki Kurumi continued to spread his hands with a smile——

"So it has injected new possibilities into our planet, and maybe it has given the planet a dream..."

"..."

"..."

There was a strange silence.

The air seemed to suddenly become quiet.

"Wait, are you serious?" After a long while, Kotori Itsuka spoke tentatively.

Why does this sound so unreliable?
"Who knows? We have no way of exploring the essence behind this. You have no idea what the Earth will look like in a few years..."

Tokisaki Kurumi didn't seem to care at all.

"Taoist Skynet, Yellow Turban Terminator, Abnormal Plane Domain Invasion, Immortal Neuro-Mechanical Rebellion... After the alien spaceship was shot down, it was not a victory, but the beginning of real trouble..."

"There are so many troublesome things. In comparison, the confirmation of the parallel world theory seems to be a good thing..."

She said this with a smile, but the information she revealed was a bit sensational.

The people on the aerial battleship couldn't help but look at each other.

The analyst hesitated for a moment, glanced at someone who hadn't commented, and asked tentatively, "What about Tobiichi Origami...what's going on with her?"

"Her? She is one of the deviations of the world line that is very close to the origin..."

Tokisaki Kurumi opened her mouth and was about to continue, but then she seemed to remember something and her expression became a little unhappy:
"Well, I can't tell you more specific information right now, but please believe me, she is a very important anchor."

"Wait a minute, you're not even honest enough yourself, how do you expect us to believe you?" Kotori Itsuka didn't buy it and pointed out the point decisively and directly.

"we lose……"

"what?"

"We lost... in the world line I just came from." Tokisaki Kurumi was still smiling, but something seemed to be loosening in her pupils.

Like anger, like unwillingness.

"..."

"..."

The young lady, with her long straight black hair covering half of her eyes, stared straight at Itsuka Kotori: "Even until the very end, we didn't know how she won. We did everything we could, but she was always ahead of us..."

"Now that I think about it, maybe because she is the child of the planet, the mind of the star, the embodiment of the entire earth, she may be able to feel everything..."

"The air, the vibrations, the gravity, the rotation of the earth, and the people...what happens on this planet is like the blood flowing in her veins..."

"so--"

"Before we find a way to counter it, I can't reveal those most crucial secrets on Earth!"
