Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

Of course, this was not Kazama's main concern.

Kazama shifted his observation angle downwards and entered the garden.

Once the viewpoint was fixed, it stopped moving until five minutes had passed.

The last observation also lasted for a long time, but this time, Kazama did not feel any signs of being forcibly excluded.

"The mental energy depletion wasn't as great as last time. Sure enough, the degree of depletion is related to the change of perspective."

The shift in perspective comes at the cost of mental strain.

"In addition, it is also related to the amount of information obtained."

Although in this void observation state, Kazama can obtain information about his surroundings in 360 degrees. There is no difference between having no substance and having a substance; in fact, in this observation state, Kazama perceives even more than in the state of having a substance.

While we perceive a great deal of information, much of it is unnecessary.

For example, the sense of smell.

This time, Kazama did not consciously try to perceive the fragrance emanating from the flowers in the garden.

For example, with taste, as long as the thought of 'tasting' arises, there will naturally be no taste information.

"Touch...and even hearing is not necessary for the time being. Just maintaining the most basic 'sight' is enough."

Based on this idea, Kazama stared at a small daisy in the garden for another five minutes.

Five minutes later, Kazama shifted his perspective.

'That's about it....'

Having tested his 'observation' ability once again, and still having some energy left, Kazama naturally wanted to continue verifying his next idea.

"Intervention... is that even possible?" Kazama wondered nervously.

The results of this test had a crucial impact on some of his subsequent ideas.

Kazama set his sights on a single petal in the garden.

Spiritual energy surged towards the petals.

A magical scene unfolded: from a normal person's perspective, the petals, which were not exposed to wind, gradually began to float up!

'It can be done!'

Kazama's eyes lit up. A different way of interfering with the world of anime, besides extraction, had been 'achieved'.

The petals fell again.

Kazama changed his target for interference; this time he chose a piece of gravel about half the size of an egg.

Still locking onto the target, the same method was used, with mental energy transforming into invisible tentacles to envelop the rubble.

As Kazama channeled his spiritual energy, the pebble floated up like a flower petal.

However, compared to the floating of the petals, the floating of this pebble seemed a bit bumpy.

Until a certain point is reached, the gravel suddenly falls.

An invisible observer also disappeared into the garden.

..........

In reality, Kazama slowly opened his eyes.

A familiar feeling of fatigue washed over me again, not from physical exhaustion, but from mental and physical exhaustion. It felt like I had stayed up all night.

He was once again forcibly kicked out of observation mode due to exhaustion of his mental energy.

Fortunately, Kazama had already made preparations.

Compared to the other world, only a moment had passed in the present world. The cocoa powder that Kazama had prepared before using his superpower was still steaming.

The moment Kazama opened his eyes, Cerberus, who was standing next to him, picked up the hot cocoa from the coffee table and placed it in Kazama's hands.

Feeling the warmth emanating from the cup, Kazama took a small sip or two, and the rich flavor spread throughout his mouth, making him feel much better.

He nodded to Cerberus beside him, signifying success.

"However, although we are able to intervene, the extent of our intervention is currently extremely limited."

Petals can be easily caught, but stones, which are much heavier than petals, are not so easy to catch.

Kazama could clearly feel the heaviness and obstruction during the interference process.

"The effectiveness of interference is related to the mass of the object being interfered with. The greater the mass of the object, the more difficult it is to interfere with it."

"Of course, the core of this issue lies in mental strength."

"Or rather, both observation and intervention are related to mental energy."

"Theoretically speaking, as long as one's mental strength is sufficient, one can observe any existing information and any matter that interferes with that world."

Of course, to achieve this level, one's mental strength would need to reach an alarming level.

"Is it related to mental power?" Kerberos murmured.

"But mental strength cannot be naturally increased like magic power. Although there are examples of people who are born with strong mental strength, in magical practice, mental strength is mainly improved through training."

"For example, meditation in magic."

The Clow Cards don't have this kind of basic element. Ultimately, although the Clow Cards are considered to be inherited items, they are just items and not a complete magical system.

It is only perfectly suited to a character like Sakura Kinomoto, who is naturally overpowered in both magic and mental strength.

This is somewhat awkward for Kazama right now. Although he can use magic, he is, after all, a novice in the field.

"If at this stage it can only interfere with objects as small as flower petals, then this 'interference' ability is practically useless..."

"Cerberus said dejectedly."

While Cerberus was telling the truth in some respects, Kazama did not entirely agree.

He shook his head:

"maybe."

"Even a physically weak person can lift a cauldron weighing ten thousand catties, as long as they use simple tools, utilize the principle of leverage, and find a suitable fulcrum."

"It has been confirmed that intervention is indeed possible; as long as a 'fulcrum' can be found, the influence can be leveraged."

P.S.: Thank you to Yueming, Virtual Clown, and other generous donors.

Chapter Seventy-One Wandering

After discovering the 'observation' and 'interference' mechanisms of supernatural abilities, Kazama focused his research on these two aspects.

Using his special ability doesn't take much time; no matter how long he observes there, it's only a fleeting moment in reality. The only problem is that both mechanisms consume mental energy. This limits the number of times Kazama can use it per day.

Three hours of rest restores mental energy, allowing for five observations a day.

Under the condition of maintaining only the most basic 'vision', he can maintain it for about ten minutes at a time while moving. In other words, Kazama can observe the other side of the world for about an hour a day.

This is still based on the fact that Kazama's current mental strength and observation time are limited, and it is a necessary act of making up for quality with quantity.

Further research into methods to enhance mental strength will lead to even greater improvements in the observed results.

Of course, while researching his own superpower, Kazama also paid attention to the issue of losing control.

The divination is performed twice a day, morning and evening, to establish an early warning mechanism and constantly monitor whether a third loss of control has occurred.

However, so far, there are no signs of it getting out of control again.

Half a month has passed since the incubator was manifested, but the third loss of control has yet to occur. This indicates that there is no specific interval or pattern to the loss of control.

Kazama felt both regret and relief at the result.

The fact that the loss of control doesn't exhibit a superficial regularity like a specific time interval suggests that its underlying principles must be far more complex. However, the fact that it hasn't happened yet gives Kazama more time to research supernatural abilities.

...........

On the bustling streets, all sorts of people come and go.

There were gentlemen in formal attire, top hats, and canes, and ladies in silk dresses; there were also workers in worn-out clothes and female factory workers in skirts.

There were horse-drawn carriages passing through the streets, as well as brand-new medieval cars.

Kazama was silently observing everything happening before him from mid-air.

Even though he had conducted multiple observations within a week, Kazama was still amazed by the feeling every time he entered the observation state.

In reality, there is a technology that can provide a similar experience—virtual reality technology. This technology uses devices to simulate visual and auditory senses, allowing people to experience a man-made virtual reality.

Many people are lavish in their praise of virtual reality, feeling that the constructed virtual environment makes people feel as if they are actually there. However, compared to its extraordinary observational capabilities, VR is left far behind.

The most direct experience of the world we observe lies in its authenticity.

The environments created later in life will always have various flaws. Ignoring these flaws is fine, but focusing on them immediately diminishes the sense of realism by half. However, the physical rules of the surface world are perfectly replicated in this world.

Or rather, this world is indeed a real world.

Kazama's gaze fell on a middle-aged man leaning against the wall, reading a newspaper.

The newspaper was naturally written in English, with black and white photographs on the pages, reporting on colonial affairs.

The world set in Dantalian's Bookshelf is clearly based on a real-world template.

The main stage is Great Britain in the early 20th century, shortly after the end of World War I.

Unlike the Great Britain of today, which has already declined, Great Britain in this era was still the world-renowned "empire on which the sun never sets," and was in the Edwardian era, which was considered Great Britain's most golden age, alongside the mid-to-late Victorian era.

Although severely damaged by World War I, Great Britain is now basking in the last glory of the empire.

Based on the information Kazama has observed so far, the historical timeline of this world roughly matches the history of the present world.

As for subtle differences, since the information obtained through observation is passively acquired, it is not yet possible to conduct detailed verification.

Of course, this world is vastly different from reality, thanks to the extraordinary artifact known as the 'Phantom Book'.

Or rather, the story of *Dantrian's Bookshelf* revolves around these 'phantom books'. It's somewhat similar in form to *The Silent Shop*, a work by a Chinese author.

Besides observing various information about this world, Kazama is also doing another important job.

How can we have a sufficient impact on the world?

The function of 'interference' can indeed have an impact on the world, but judging from the current effect of Kazama only being able to move stones, it is difficult to reach a 'sufficient' level.
