The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 173 The Idealistic Timeline is Troublesome
As the sunlight outside the window shone on that familiar angle, the alarm clock on the bedside table began to tick.

She yawned lazily, and a hand reached out from under the quilt to suddenly turn off the alarm clock. Miyano Akemi got up skillfully, got dressed... and then went into the bathroom to wash up.

The house she lives in now is not like an ordinary house structure. Each room is not flat, but presents a unique linear arrangement.

Miyano Akemi actually always felt that this was like taking apart every room in the house like building blocks and then putting them together in a straight line.

Kitchen, bedroom, living room...each room is connected together like a train carriage.

——According to the researchers, this is related to the space-time structure of this independent [loop].

"The current space-time stability is very unstable. According to conventional methods, based on the structure of an additional dimension..."

She probably didn't understand what was said afterwards.

In short, it may take some time for them to help me adjust the room back to its original layout.

But now Miyano Akemi has gotten used to it, or even more so, she is very satisfied. After all, according to the news she has heard, most people in the alliance now live in standard rooms!
"After all, besides needing to sleep, most people seem to prefer to rest in levels specifically designed for rest. Those levels are even more comfortable for sleeping, like the forest level."

This is how the Sustainable Infrastructure employee explained it when he created a replica of the original house for himself.

"But it wasn't like this before. You wouldn't know, but before, many people even tried to build their rooms like castles, or secretly move to some beautiful terrain. But later, probably because of the dual timeline, the executive layer wanted to shrink the entire [loop] structure, so those hidden time and space had to be returned."

Thinking of that scene, the employee couldn't help but smile evilly. When he was a demolition worker and demolished the space where those guys hid, they wailed—

It's like recycling their precious figurines.

So why do I have a room like this? Could it be that Ms. Miyano is secretly giving me some special treatment? Why don't I ask her later?
Shaking her head, Miyano Akemi put aside the messy thoughts in her mind. She walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and reached out to scoop up a handful of clean water and splash it on her face.

"hiss--!"

The coolness that touched her skin made her shudder, and her physical fatigue immediately disappeared.

Then, Miyano Akemi started the most important thing of the day——

Look in the mirror.

This is a very strange mirror. It is not so much a mirror as it is more like a wall that is smooth enough to reflect images, reflecting all the rooms in pairs.

Of course, Akemi Miyano couldn't see this. In fact, her every move was also reflected in another world outside the mirror.

When Akemi Miyano sat in front of the large and somewhat strange mirror, on the other side of the mirror, members of the Timeline Reconstruction Bureau and the Timeline Magical Research Institute had already started their daily routine reports.

"Plan No. 7 works."

"The stability of Miyano Akemi's existence has only decreased by 0.5 percentage points. It seems that the simulation of everyday environments is still effective. A familiar environment may be more conducive to the structural stability of the timeline after it is magically transformed. So what we need to do next is to try to completely simulate the room layout in Miyano Akemi's memory."

"It seems that even after explanations and hints, her subconscious still thinks she is not real enough."

"No," another voice interrupted, "Then Miyano Akemi's historical process will be stuck again, and the risk of her becoming a ghost will increase again."

"The historical progress data of the RCM simulation experimental chamber shows that if the magical timeline is re-expanded now, Miyano Akemi's timeline will not be advanced enough to reach the next stable node."

For Akemi Miyano, after looking in the mirror for five minutes as Ms. Miyano had instructed, she crossed the corridor and went into the hallway.

The steaming fried egg made her eyes brighten up for a moment, but when she saw the familiar sticky note, Miyano Akemi's expression fell again for a moment.

"The executive team is very busy lately. I probably won't be back today." Then, in the next second, as if playing a video in reverse, he stood up from the stool he had just sat on, walked backwards to the bathroom, looked in the mirror, washed up, and returned to bed...

Finally, as the alarm clock returned to calm, the bright sunlight disappeared, and the entire room disappeared, leaving only a woman sleeping peacefully in the time stabilization chamber with a slightly puzzled expression on her face.

This huge problem occurred ten minutes after Ms. Miyano and Akemi Miyano separated on the second day.

At that time, a logistics employee discovered that Akemi Miyano was wandering strangely in a corridor of the alliance with a puzzled look on her face, and kept asking the logistics department about the location of the restaurant.

"Um, could you tell me how to get to the restaurant, please?"

"Route sent to TDD."

According to the video recording, after Akemi Miyano walked to the end of the corridor, she turned back and sent the question to the logistics department again.

"Her [historical process] has come to an end."

Facing Miss Miyano who had rushed over, the researchers from the Institute of Consciousness Synchronicity looked extremely ugly. This situation had indeed been anticipated at the beginning, but based on the previous actions of Miyano and the other two, almost everyone thought that this problem would not occur.

"Then why am I okay?"

"Because your CS value is very high, but Miyano Akemi is different. She is just an ordinary person."

A research director from the Time Research Department came forward to explain to Ms. Miyano.

"This actually has to do with the structure of the timeline. For all people and all matter in our universe, our [historical process] is driven by dual timelines, and the source of this driving force comes from [Kudo Shinichi] himself."

"But the driving force behind the magical life [historical process] relies on magic and the life itself. This is why you felt it difficult to control your body after leaving the temporal stabilization chamber."

"But if that's the only problem, it's easy to solve, like using TDD to load the relevant physical instincts, but the key is to promote your own future development..."

This is one of the drawbacks of the timeline magic technology, and it is also the reason why almost no one can currently meet the standards for using this technology.

Obviously, the Alliance cannot "advance the historical process" on behalf of the enchanted Alliance members. After all, that would be equivalent to "choosing" the future for the member.

At the same time, it is difficult to predict what impact this programmed behavior will have on a person's own logic or even form of existence, especially in the League's [Loop], where the logic of three choices is everywhere. Compared with the original Conan universe, the physical laws and the operating logic of time and space in the League can be said to be as convenient as possible.

After all, the TDD in each member's hands ensures the stability of their own timeline.

"But because magical technology uses 'rituals,' and especially because time crystals are used to construct the magical timeline itself, Miyano Akemi's 'save points' are ritual-like nodes, compared to a linear timeline. This means that if her own CS value is not enough to push her [historical process] to the next node, she will be stuck."

"Although we have arranged the propulsion structures as tightly as possible during the ritual design, the characteristics of the time crystal itself determine this 'cyclical' behavior."

"What is the basis for determining this [Historical Advancement] node?"

Ms. Miyano immediately identified the crux of the matter. "The magical timeline can't possibly be based on idealism—"

She immediately realized that this was the crux of the problem, and then was stunned.

No one present responded to the question; they all responded to the answer with silence.

This is the most difficult problem to solve -

A subjective saving node without any judgment criteria.
