NO. 89: And, it is not Aomo Lindun.

"Position Theory" is professional knowledge for workers in fields related to other worlds.

It can also be considered common sense.

After all, for a large group of volunteers who explore other worlds, their first test is not a written exam, not a martial trial, but a physical examination.

A physical examination based on Position Theory aims to confirm whether you already have such a version of yourself in the other world you wish to explore.

The obstacle to your first step forward is your otherworldly self.

This is too harsh for many young people who dream of exploring other worlds, because the industry still has no method guaranteeing a high success rate to solve this problem.

On the contrary, all kinds of folk‑remedy‑like ideas keep popping up, like college students' theses—huge in volume each year, varied each year, but the vast majority are academic trash; not to mention trying them, even just glancing at them feels like a waste of time.

It is worth mentioning that this special physical examination has no participation threshold at all; men and women, old and young can make an appointment and get a number, and it was once regarded by the Border Gate Area as one of the promotional items of a cultural tourism special zone, often with limited‑time free events.

Later, Heaven Gate City did the same.

If you're interested, you can go test how many or how few of your otherworldly isotopes you have; the fee is extremely low, occasionally free, regardless of background or permissions, and it easily became one of the must‑try items in the two federal special zones, to the point that various derivative items later appeared.

Like fortune‑telling, testing the past lives of your otherworldly isotopes…… frankly, these items are mixed with false content, not only not guaranteeing accuracy, but they are also directly classified as entertainment items; yet the results still cannot stop tourists enthusiastically paying money, as if sending a test link could garner 99+ group messages, endlessly enjoyable.

This enthusiastic consumer crowd naturally does not include Aomo Lindun, but he is a regular at the check‑up.

He took it in elementary school, again in middle school, and once more in high school; at first glance he seems like a hardcore enthusiast, but obviously he has always carried a bit of utilitarian motive, seeking to secure the basic premise for his long‑term volunteer work.

In those repeated tests he was always safe, and at one point he believed he would become an enforcer of the Two Worlds Safety Bureau, eating government meals, handling government affairs, experiencing a wave of the bureaucracy's unique dragging‑out process, and finally getting to watch superiors clash—a rare and wondrous sight——

As for how things actually turned out, well, better not to say.

Our main topic remains that obscure theory which is considered common knowledge in the field of other‑world‑related studies.

Position Theory, just as the earlier remark "Aomo's tests have always been safe" indicated, exists with rather vague and dynamic judgment criteria.

Besides the easily understood name and appearance, there are also personality, ability, wealth, and so on; examined closely they become as tangled as tree roots—all count as judgment points, and depending on the world they show different biases in the acceptance direction.

Thus it is considered common sense within the industry, but outside the circle it is seen as abstruse.

Relying solely on verbal description always ends up in the evasiveness of 'you don't need to understand Kamen Rider that well,' so the check‑up relies on machines, inference relies on stacked performance computing and continually evolving algorithms; at the same time the check‑up only requires standing before the instrument, no documents to submit, just identity verification to enter testing, merely waiting for the fact, which also indirectly proves that the Federation monitors all citizens (x).

As the saying goes, 'do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire,' Aomo has long been accustomed to this inevitable risk of surviving in a highly information‑aged era; he himself often intensely gathers others' information, so naturally he doesn't mind his own data being recorded in sufficient detail.

But he hasn't taken that check‑up since his second year of high school, and now, with the Beast King rejected by the world, he can't help thinking of making a last‑minute dash to get tested.

Formerly, his self was not a 'popular figure' barred by half the world, always able to pass safely and qualify; now it's completely different?

He hasn't even made an appointment, yet a reliable underage horse‑girl deity troop descended, bringing him stable contact opportunities and, at the same time, an astonishing fact.

If not Aomo Lindun, then what is it?

Aomo knows well that different worlds have different review standards, but the authority of mutual certification in the Ancient Lit Universe should be deeper than any standard.

Yet the Beast King went first.

No…… the demon's frown may not be a bow‑like posture, but it also carries a hint of a shrimp head.

That shadow lasted only an instant, because the demon still values efficiency and reality.

Since He said He is no longer Aomo Lindun, it shouldn't be a joke; Aomo feels the meaning of this statement is probably not literal, but rather derived from the world's cognition, from that deeper judgment basis.

That is largely like a game: Aomo's file name is still Aomo Lindun, while He is the source file named Beast King, directly distinguished in the search results.

Although the demon is unusually curious about the cause, what matters now is again removing the result of a variable.

If Position Theory weren't at fault, the only reason the Beast King couldn't descend would be his own improper manner of descent.

But now the question is whether we should help Him descend or give Him a kick to expel Him completely from this world…… This ought to be a brand‑new problem, yet it dissolves given the New Universe's willingness to act as a mouthpiece.

"I want to break free, to leave this 'universe bubble' here and return to my original course."

There is a way that can simultaneously solve the Beast King's speaking difficulty and the New Universe's obscure wording.

That is to let the New Universe convey the Beast King's words.

Under Aomo's request, the little girl's relay does not insist on restoring tone and speed; although her words still carry a hint of the New Universe's particularity, with a slight re‑emphasis on certain vocabulary, she has already won in perception, again and again.

"Do you have knowledge reserves in this field? I'm asking what type of effect this kind of external assistance of mine can have."

"What do you want to obtain? Other 'cards'?"

"Some memories, concerning the altered spiritual entity that shares its name with the symbol of Sirius."

"Sure, I will convey a grand ritual through this messenger child, and after… after I and this child have crossed paths for about an hour and a half, I will have two minutes of manifestation time."

"You must show me your understanding in your most efficient way."

"Are you seeking proof? I thought the last time was already enough." Although two minutes originally couldn't accomplish anything substantial, Aomo still feels it's unnecessary to waste it here.

"Can you save a slice of the universe, and also save those people's 'hearts'?"

"Battle is simple, but change is difficult."

"Only if you can ask such a question do I consider believing that you are truly no longer Aomo Lindun."
