"The coordinates, or rather the location, of Miskatonic University might exist in a quantum state!"
Su Na said, her eyes lighting up. Combined with her earlier investigations into the Abyss, she had essentially figured out its internal environment.
This seemed to be a world where everything had to be determined by rolling dice, and those dice never stopped, constantly producing different results.
"Huh?"
Yang Yi wore an expression that said, What are you talking about?
"Uh..."
Su Na realized it would be difficult to explain this to Yang Yi, so she used Schrödinger's Cat as an analogy.
"...Like the cat in that box. Before you open it to check, it's in a superposition of being alive with a fifty-percent probability and dead with a fifty-percent probability..."
"Why a cat? Couldn't it be a Long-Legged Sardine?" Yang Yi quipped.
"Huh?... That's not important!
But a Long-Legged Sardine would work too... Let's use a Long-Legged Sardine, then.
Before the box is opened, this Long-Legged Sardine is in a superposition of being both alive and dead. The same applies to Miskatonic University. Its coordinates are also in this special quantum superposition, so it can exist at multiple coordinates simultaneously... yet also not exist.
In short, matter in the Abyss undergoes random, dynamic changes, like quantization on a macroscopic scale. Everything is uncertain, and space and time might also be in quantum states, so continuing to search like this won't..."
"Got it.
We can't find it, so we have to retreat, right?
Just say that. No need to explain so much. Xiao Luo..."
Yang Yi interrupted Su Na's lengthy explanation and prepared to retreat, only for Su Na to cut him off roughly in turn.
"Will you let me finish!"
Su Na was a little angry. Yang Yi immediately stopped interjecting and patiently heard
