Chapter 57: Schrödinger, I added Schrödinger in it!
"The changes here?" Bai Song was surprised to hear that. Suddenly, he remembered that when she mentioned "all of this," she must have been frightened by the changes in this scene. It's obvious. Besides himself, the cat, and the mouse, are there any other people here?
Isn't it obvious that Tom is responsible for this? Who else could it be?
Perhaps she was frightened by the environmental changes here. After all, suddenly finding oneself in a different world while in the middle of a fight can be quite terrifying.
Acknowledging this fact wouldn't hurt, and it could even enhance the opponent's assessment of their fighting power, increasing their own value.
Although there was no need to please anyone, engaging in a deep discussion might help the other party understand that he was a good person and, at the same time, cancel the hostile state. At least it would prevent the other party from causing trouble. As the one who knows what this world-saving stuff is all about, he couldn't afford to attract any more enemies!
With these thoughts in mind, Bai Song cautiously nodded.
"It is indeed you!" Upon hearing Bai Song's confession, Mashu immediately took a few steps back, holding her shield defensively and nervously exclaimed, "Hmm? What's wrong with you... WTH!" Bai Song's heart suddenly tightened when he saw Mashu's reaction. Before Bai Song could even speak, a red light flashed in the distance, and an arrow shot towards Bai Song at incredible speed!
Looking into the distance, Bai Song noticed that Arash, who had been pinned to the wall by Tom's spear, had somehow managed to break free!
Just a moment ago, while everyone was distracted, Gudako quietly moved backward. When no one noticed her, she turned and sprinted a hundred meters, reaching the wall where Arash was stuck.
"Bu~bu~" Using the wall as leverage, Gudako grabbed Arash's upper body and pulled it forcefully. With two clear, crisp sounds resembling a plunger being pulled out, Arash's upper body was detached from the wall.
In that instant, he was in a situation where he had partially freed himself but had not completely escaped.
Arash caught sight of Bai Song nodding, so he summoned his precious bow and arrow with a single hand. He drew the bowstring to its maximum and released an arrow with full force towards Bai Song.
This arrow moved at a speed that was impossible for humans to track with their eyes. Based on its velocity, it would only take 0.01 seconds to hit Bai Song's head!
However... in Bai Song's eyes, that 0.01 seconds seemed to stretch for dozens of times its original duration. Even as an ordinary person, Bai Song could see the trajectory of the arrow, but seeing it didn't necessarily mean he could dodge it. Bai Song could only watch helplessly as the arrow approached him, realizing that he might be doomed.
The first one to react was Jerry, who had climbed back onto Bai Song's shoulder. At some point, Jerry had changed into a karate outfit. It was as if he had prepared for this moment in advance. In the instant the arrow was shot, Jerry's eyes narrowed, and the same two black screens that appeared when Tom attacked once again enveloped him, leaving only Jerry's determined eyes visible.
But this time, the black screens didn't last long; they appeared only for a moment, like a close-up shot. The concluding action of the close-up was Jerry pulling the black belt around his waist to the sides with both hands.
Then, Jerry leaped up, executing a flying kick as if he were a knight. His target was the arrow that was about to hit Bai Song's head.
At the moment Jerry's kick landed, it seemed as if the arrow's speed had been forcibly adjusted by the will of the universe. It appeared right in front of Bai Song's face, just tens of centimeters away. Everything seemed to be perfectly timed. Even a slightly faster or slower kick wouldn't have been able to hit the arrow, which was supposedly flying at high speed.
"Ah-dah!" With a cry, Jerry's knight kick perfectly hit the body of Arash's charged arrow.
"Crack!" Jerry's kick slid past, and the arrow snapped, freezing in mid-air.
After Jerry's "knight kick" broke Arash's charged arrow, he saw himself about to fly away. Using his left hand, Jerry grabbed Bai Song's forehead hair, and then the force of the flying kick landed on Bai Song's left shoulder.
Patting his nonexistent dust off his hands, Jerry stood on Bai Song's left shoulder, crossing his arms. It seemed like he wasn't satisfied with just that. Stepping forward with his right leg, Jerry stretched his arms as if to say, "Can anyone else do this?"
However... there wasn't a single person paying attention to this attention-seeking mouse. Jerry was very upset.
All eyes were focused on the broken arrow, which seemed to be held in mid-air by an invisible force, suspended right in front of Bai Song. It was as if the arrow was in space rather than on Earth, completely unaffected by gravity.
Only when it realized that everyone's attention was on it, the arrow blushed with two red marks on its "face" and fell to the ground.
"This...?" Arash, who was watching for Bai Song's reaction after shooting the arrow, suddenly had several question marks floating above his head. His small head was filled with big question marks.
When the black screens appeared again, Arash discovered that his arrow had been caught by Bai Song with his face, and there was no explosion. The arrow ended up in two pieces in front of Bai Song's face.
Before this, Mashu easily blocked Arash's attacks, which sent him flying. That wasn't too surprising, considering Mashu was a shield-bearer while he was an archer, making him relatively fragile. However, later on, Tom effortlessly caught more than ten of his arrows, which left Arash very puzzled.
At this point, Arash's confidence in his own abilities had been shaken. His worldview, values, and outlook on life were all affected to some extent.
Arash looked at Bai Song in the distance and then at his bow in his hand. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Master... what have I encountered?"
"It's Schrödinger! You've encountered Schrödinger!" Gudako replied immediately.
