I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 503 - 11: Who Is Cooperating with Whom in This Performance?
"What’s going on?"
The wooden cabin not far away was gently opened, and the Witch walked out, frowned lightly, and asked.
The trick by the Flower Magician just now, she actually noticed it. However, since it wasn’t an enemy attack, she took no action. But now it’s different, the suddenly appearing aura in the valley seemed too astonishing, as if a vacuum vortex suddenly appeared in the valley...
The magic in the atmosphere was converging toward that side, gathering from all directions.
Kikyo naturally couldn’t pretend not to know, she was also worried it might be an enemy attack or the like. But just after she walked out, she was slightly stunned, seeing the bloodied girl lying in the pavilion, her hair to her body, half of her dress stained red with mottled blood.
The blood had actually already dried, but it was still clear to see how tragic the injuries were...
With such injuries, if it weren’t for the immediate decision of freezing the frame facilities right after the control room explosion, this Literature girl might have already... recovered as before.
She certainly wouldn’t have been frozen for such a long time, only to be unsealed now, and transported directly to this singularity via Spiritual Particle Transfer. Her appearance also remained in the state of the control room explosion due to the freezing.
"What’s going on? Where did this girl... come from?"
Kikyo approached the pavilion, looking at the person squatting next to the unconscious girl, poking her cheek with a finger again and again, and asked somewhat puzzledly.
"I don’t know, I was just talking to Hiri here, and she suddenly fell down..." Gu Mo raised his eyes to look at the Witch, and spoke righteously, after all, he definitely hadn’t done anything, even his original intention was just to think about getting a file from Chaldea.
Also, upon realizing it was impossible, he decisively decided to give up.
But how does that saying go? When the mind of man is born, heaven and earth know all. Perhaps he is still human, even in this world. He is connected to this large system representing the collective unconscious of humanity, so no thoughts or ideas can be hidden from the "Human World" defense apparatus named Araiyer, right?
And Araiyer’s actions naturally can’t be hidden from the planetary will named Gaia, thus...
The Protective force activated.
Though the Protective force is originally distinct in this world, more awakened and lively than any other world he has seen before, but... this situation still somewhat caught him off guard.
The Protective force is an invisible vortex of power aimed at extending the current world, but essentially belongs to a kind of Correction Power, since it is unconscious, even when it happens, it won’t draw attention, won’t be noticed by anyone.
It only appears in situations where no one pays attention and acts on phenomena where no one observes. For instance, adjusting the probability to enter a better world line, like the classic story of a kingdom being doomed because of a lost nail.
A nail lost, a horseshoe ruined; a horseshoe ruined, a warhorse destroyed; a warhorse destroyed, a battle lost; a battle lost, a kingdom doomed.
Basically, that’s it, Protective force adjusts the probability of occurrence, influencing the direction of world lines, all for the purpose of extending the current world.
Though Gu Mo doesn’t know how it’s done, it’s clear it wasn’t actively coordinated by Chaldea, so he can imagine that the Protective force probably adjusted the probability, steering the world line in a direction that meets their requirements, striving to increase the odds of saving the world, avoiding the possibility of extinction.
That’s probably what it’s all about. Gu Mo thought about it, speculating based on the information he had, but given this, the situation in this world is truly extremely critical. It’s not that the Protective force only dispatched one Crowned Servant, rather it could only dispatch one Crowned Servant.
They would never gamble on matters of life and death, naturally wouldn’t miss any chance to increase their odds.
Akai Hinako should have been sent here like this, although it’s unclear whether she counts as the "nail" or the "horseshoe" in this scenario, ultimately it all points to the same direction — leveraging her change to further expand the influence, thereby destroying that "kingdom."
However, even though he could understand what’s happening, having just had a brief direct mutual perception with Protective force, Gu Mo would definitely not admit this was because of him.
Anyway, that’s how it is, he was talking here with the Demon Hunter Girl, and this girl just fell from the sky.
A slightly doubtful glance lingered on him briefly, but the Witch said nothing, withdrew her gaze, and spoke calmly, "Let me take a look, you go to my cabin and fetch some medicine..."
"No need, no need, actually, medication is useless here, it won’t have time to take effect... Her constitution is similar to Kikyo’s, both essentially defined like Celestial Maidens, ageless and immortal is just normal, these injuries to her are merely drizzle, by the time you get the medicine, she’ll already be healed."
