No matter what, it wasn't a pleasant feeling.
From her distinctive outfit and slightly irritable tone, Zhao Bai already knew the name of the person before him.
Frederica Nikola Tesla.
A doctor of Anti-Entropy.
"A quantumized person can freely choose their observation target." Tesla crossed her arms over her chest. "You're fairly clever. Even if you called for help, people would just think you were crazy."
"What are you plotting?"
"I merely wanted to see whether St. Freya Academy, which was said to embody light and kindness, was really as righteous and admirable as the rumors claimed." Tesla jumped down to the floor. "Whether or not to silence you, don't throw such a difficult choice at me!"
Zhao Bai asked quietly, "Can I beg for mercy?"
"No begging for mercy!"
Dr. Tesla couldn't do anything to Zhao Bai. From the moment he woke up, she had remained in an observable quantum ghost state, floating beside him and watching every movement he made after getting up.
Zhao Bai got up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and squeezed bitter melon juice. Tesla watched without blinking.
When Zhao Bai took off his pants to take a dump, she finally turned her head away in embarrassment and fury.
This continued until work. Zhao Bai hung the Other Shore Gate on the kitchen door. Like a guardian deity, it suppressed every quantum ghost, finally keeping Tesla outside.
What was he supposed to do?
Zhao Bai was deeply troubled. Coupled with staying up late, he had no energy at all, and his cooking had suffered greatly as well.
It wasn't until evening, after the two evenly matched employees had both left, that he emerged from the kitchen. When he looked up, Tesla was still floating on the ceiling.
"What kind of weapon is that scythe?"
"It's just a farming tool. I often use it to cut leeks. It works pretty well."
As Zhao Bai answered, Tesla visibly grew angry. Her body rapidly solidified and dropped down, her red mechanical finger pointing at the tip of Zhao Bai's nose as she made a thoroughly meaningless threat.
"Whatever I'm doing is none of your business. Don't investigate any further, got it?"
Zhao Bai said, half laughing and half crying, "You were the one floating around beside me for an entire day, and then you threw out a threat telling me not to investigate. What exactly do you want?"
"Shut up!"
Tesla stomped furiously, her mechanical arms clattering.
That sound... it was very much like the so-called ghostly footsteps that echoed through the warehouse every night. So she had been the one behind it.
Tesla pointed at Zhao Bai's nose and cursed him out, her red mechanical arms clicking and clacking. Then, all sound vanished. The girl disappeared before his eyes, shifting from reality into an unobserved quantum state, refusing to let Zhao Bai observe her ever again.
How amazing.
Tesla was conflicted as well.
That spy planted within Schicksal seemed to have a favorable impression of St. Freya Academy's ways. Tesla hadn't believed it, so she had come to observe for herself—only to see him coughing blood in such a wretched state.
Tesla had nearly forgotten that Anti-Entropy's Sovereign was severely injured.
