"You really haven't lost your ability to make deadpan jokes..." Liu Bai complained helplessly.
"But things feel a little lighter now, don't they?" Einstein still wore a faint smile. "There's no need to be so tense. For the past sixty years, everyone has been waiting for you willingly—wasn't this the time you said you'd be gone when you left?"
They had never feared waiting when they had a clear goal.
As long as there was a goal, scientists like them could keep going forever.
"You're making me look guilty instead."
Liu Bai sighed softly.
"By the way, has Anti-Entropy changed much in the sixty years I was gone? Is everyone doing alright?"
"Well... about that..." A strange expression appeared on Einstein's face. "Other than Schrödinger blowing herself into the Sea of Quanta during an experiment, and Finn refusing Welwitschia's modification in the end and dying of old age twenty years ago, everyone else is doing quite well."
"..."
There was no need to say much about Finn. He had gotten what he wanted, and considering his age, he had already been eighty twenty years ago. Whatever sins he had committed, he had repaid them by then. Being able to die peacefully in bed might have been a release for him instead.
Liu Bai was not surprised by that outcome.
But Schrödinger...
The corner of Liu Bai's mouth twitched.
That unlucky girl.
Even though Liu Bai had tried his best to change things, could she still not escape the future of becoming a quantum ghost?
"Didn't you try to save her?"
"We did, but we couldn't get her out. Still, we can contact her every now and then—Dr. Einstein thinks she might actually be quite willing to stay there."
When it came to Schrödinger, Einstein's tone carried some helplessness as well.
