Anime Crossover: A single ranking exposed the world

"There shouldn't be any problems here."

Kanzaki Teru breathed a sigh of relief when he looked back and saw that no one was chasing after him.

The two moved at a speed that was hard for ordinary people to imagine for nearly half an hour, almost traversing the entire city.

But actually, there was no need to go that far, since he had already made arrangements for what would happen afterward.

There's no way the other side could catch up, but even if they did, given their speed, the other side wouldn't be able to catch up at all.

Even after moving for such a long time, neither of them showed any signs of fatigue.

"how did you do it."

What do you mean by 787?

Kanzaki Teru knew exactly what the other person was referring to, but he pretended to be clueless.

"Of course it's that barrier! What did you do!?"

However, Tokisaki Kurumi completely failed to grasp Kanzaki Hikaru's attitude and continued to press for answers.

Logically speaking, this is to be expected, since this barrier could directly trap her.

No action could break through it, yet Kanzaki Teru did it with ease.

This was something she couldn't understand no matter how hard she tried, and she also had reasons she needed to know.

After all, if we encounter a similar situation again, we may not be as lucky as we were this time.

"Who knows?"

However, this point is equally important to Kanzaki Teru, since it is his bargaining chip.

Are you kidding me!?

She raised her weapon and aimed it at Kanzaki Teru, but Tokisaki Kurumi seemed to remember something and put the weapon down again.

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively just now. I shouldn't have done that to the person who saved me."

Kanzaki Hikaru clearly chose the correct option just now, and seeing Tokisaki Kurumi's attitude now, he is also convinced.

However, even with this attitude, Kanzaki Teru has no intention of telling her the truth about how to break the barrier for the time being.

As mentioned at the beginning, this is a bargaining chip.

"it does not matter."

Like a plague, a silent atmosphere spread between the two, constantly eroding their hearts.

Both of them were looking for the right moment to speak, after all, they had just experienced such a thrilling event.

Kurumi Tokisaki also needed time to organize her thoughts, and Teru Kanzaki was well aware of this.

So he stood quietly and waited, after all, he was only one step away from his goal.

This step cannot be rushed, but it also cannot be failed.

After all, this opportunity is once in a lifetime, although he can still create the same situation.

However, if (cdfb) were to repeat the same trick, it would be inevitable that Tokisaki Kurumi would become suspicious, since there are still many loopholes in this plan from Kanzaki Hikaru's perspective, who knows everything.

Although it might not be noticed without careful thought, if all the suspicious points are connected, the suspicious aspects of the whole matter can still be detected.

Therefore, it would be very dangerous to carry out the same plan again if Kanzaki failed this time.

The next plan needs to be even more ingenious and unexpected.

However, this is not an easy thing to do, so Kanzaki Teru has almost no room for failure.

However, this tension actually heightened Kanzaki Teru's emotions, making him truly feel alive.

It started two years ago, when he began to notice the changes in this world.

Kanzaki Teru's heart was already dead; he could no longer feel the reality of being alive.

Even every bite of food, every sip of water, and even every breath felt incredibly fake.

Everything before me is like a dream, and I could wake up at any moment and see it all vanish into nothingness.

"Who are you exactly?"

"Is this the very first sentence you just revised?"

However, seeing the other party staring intently at him, Kanzaki Teru sighed helplessly.

What do people do when something important happens?

Anyone would rack their brains to find ways to increase the success rate, no matter what methods they use.

Even if it's just to increase the chances of success by a few decimal places, we'll go all out.

They pondered ways to increase the success rate and then put in the effort.

Although it seems that Kanzaki Teru didn't put in much effort this time, he had a lot of preparations behind the scenes.

Even their current location and the timing of their meeting were meticulously planned.

Chapter 270: Meaningless Explanation

Next, Kanzaki Teru decided to implement the last plan that could increase the success rate.

"actually--"

There were no overly lengthy explanations or fancy descriptions; it was simply based on facts.

Kanzaki Teru told Tokisaki Kurumi everything about his past, though he did embellish it a bit.

He told her everything from how he noticed the anomaly in this world, to the effort he put into investigating it, to his desire to return to his original world.

"Even if you say so—"

"I know, it's hard to believe, right?"

After all, for Kurumi Tokisaki, this world has been like this since she was born.

There is no such thing as abnormality. If one had to say, the most abnormal being is Kanzaki Teru in front of you.

Do you know about the double-slit experiment?

"Huh!? What are you talking about?"

Perhaps because she never expected Kanzaki Teru to bring up a topic completely unrelated to the current situation, Tokisaki Kurumi was also somewhat baffled.

"Never mind that, just tell me if you know or not."

"It seems to be some kind of experiment to prove the existence of light..."

Seeing Kanzaki Hikaru's tough attitude, Tokisaki Kurumi unconsciously answered his question honestly.

"The double-slit experiment is an experiment that proves that light has wave-particle duality."

"So what does this have to do with us now?"

Although Kanzaki Teru seemed to be explaining something, Tokisaki Kurumi completely failed to understand what he meant.

"Initially, scientists were arguing fiercely about whether light was a particle or a wave, and then someone did this experiment."

If light were particles, then after passing through these two slits, only two slit spots of light would remain.

If they are waves, they will interfere with each other and leave a row of light spots like water ripples.

Experiments revealed that although a single particle of light was released, a light spot resembling water ripples still appeared in the final product.

So what does this tell us?

For those who don't understand at all, it's true that they still won't understand what Kanzaki Hikaru ultimately wanted to say, but this is actually just an experiment in logical thinking.

"If there's only one particle, then what does it interfere with?"

At this point, Kurumi Tokisaki finally showed a hint of understanding on her face.

However, I still don't understand what Kanzaki Teru was trying to say.

"Then we observed what this particle was all about, and found that it was indeed a particle when it passed through the gap, but it turned into a wave when it reached the projection screen."

"So what exactly are you trying to say?"

"In other words, light changes its state because of people's observation of it."

"I still don't understand what you, 89, were trying to say about 96, but it sounds pretty impressive." (460)

There's nothing more disheartening than this way of comforting someone, especially since Kanzaki Teru thought he had explained things very clearly.

However, it remained obscure and difficult to understand for Tokisaki Kurumi.

"Let me give you another example. You know Schrödinger's cat experiment, right?"

"I know that."

Do you know what the purpose of this experiment is?

"Prove that the cat is in a superposition of being both dead and alive?"

·· ···Request flowers······

"Oh...that's completely wrong! This experiment is also trying to show that human consciousness determines the state of things."

Therefore, it's entirely possible that this world exists because I'm observing it, or that the entire world is an illusion.

"Oh, I finally understand what you're trying to say."

"You could have just told me directly, why bother with all this unnecessary stuff?"

Perhaps dissatisfied with Kanzaki Hikaru's lengthy explanation, Tokisaki Kurumi also sighed, showing a slight lack of interest.

....... ........ .......

"In the end, you're just trying to tell me that this world might be fake, but what does it matter?"

"Don't you want to know the truth about this world?! After all, even your own existence and mine might be fake!"

"What's the use of knowing? Tomorrow I will still do what I should do."

Even if I knew about this, it wouldn't have any impact on my life.

And what I want to ask isn't how this relates to me; I want to know why you care so much about this issue.

"Me...?"
