186 Steins;Gate (First Update)

"Hey, why did no one say anything all of a sudden?"

Asuna stared at her phone. She originally planned to watch the big news, but she was only halfway through the excitement when the chat channel suddenly became quiet. Even the chuunibyou stopped speaking, and she couldn't help but wonder.

Asuna: Where have all the newcomers gone?

Knowing that Tang Hao should still be there, he sent a private message.

Dabendan: You haven’t gone to bed yet?

Asuna: Uh...

Dabendan: I'm going to Gensokyo. It's none of your business, so go to sleep.

What kind of attitude is this!

Asuna was so angry that her teeth itched, and she was about to retort when she suddenly felt her wrist itching even more. She subconsciously slapped it, and a trace of blood came out... Ahhhh, she obviously came to see the fun, but she didn't notice the fun, and was attracted by the mosquito instead. I took a bite and looked like a fool.

Forget it, go to sleep!

Asuna lay back on the bed angrily, but she was thinking, what are the two newlyweds doing in Gensokyo?

Not only Asuna was thinking about this problem, but Tang Hao also had the same question.

In fact, before replying to Asuna, Tang Hao received a private message from Kaguya, saying that Phoenix Academy Kuma and his assistant had been taken to Eternity Pavilion by her, and the chat room became quiet because of this.

Tang Hao certainly knew that Kaguya did this mostly to solve the problems between the two of them and pull them out of the cruel world line. After all, the plot of Steins;Gate has not yet begun, and none of the assistants have arrived in Japan. In other words, If external forces are used, there is no need for Mayuri's countless deaths, nor the countless losses and pain in the 0 line. Under this premise, it is still possible to reach the Steins;Gate world line.

That's why Kaguya brought those two people to Gensokyo in such a hurry.

But he just didn't understand. When did Kaguya become so enthusiastic?

It just doesn't feel like her style.

Ah, forget it, it was probably just a whim. Anyway, this is a good thing. There is no need to care about it, so just go to sleep.

…

Before telling the story of Steins;Gate, the first thing to understand is that this world does not have the concept of so-called parallel worlds. Although it has many world lines, just like the tracks of a train, this world called "world" A train can only run on one track at any time.

When the world chooses one of the world lines, the other world lines will disappear, and all things that have happened will cease to exist. Only a few people will get memories similar to a sense of déjà vu.

As the male protagonist, Rintaro Okabe is the most special exception. Only he can completely retain the memory of other world lines. Of course, in contrast, he will lose part of the memory of the current world line.

For example, when Rintaro Okabe jumps from world line A to world line B, he can have all the memories of world line A, but what he has done in world line B can only be known from other people's oral accounts.

Rintaro Okabe named this ability of his as the Destiny Detecting Magic Eye.

Then the story begins when Kurisu Makise goes to Japan for a lecture. On that day she met Rintaro Okabe, and it was also the day she died. Okabe, who met this result, sent a text message to his friend, Then because this text message was captured by the organization Sern, the world moved to another world line called "a".

In this world line, Kurisu is still alive, but the price is the death of Mayuri Shiina, and because Sern has obtained the technology of the time machine, the whole world is heading towards a dystopian future.

In order to save his childhood sweetheart, with the help of Kurisu and Suzuha from the future, Okabe jumps time lines again and again, just to return to the world line where Mayuri will not die. However, when success comes, Before his eyes, a cruel reality appeared in the world line where Mayuri was alive, Kurisu would die.

One is a childhood sweetheart who is like a sister, and the other is a girlfriend sent from heaven. No matter what, you cannot choose.

In the end, it was Kurisu's self-sacrifice that prompted Okabe's choice.

Then, Okabe successfully returned to the β world line where Mayuri was still alive, but in this world, Kurisu had been dead for many days. The cruelest thing was that the two had never even had any contact. The experience of getting to know each other, meeting each other, and working together to find a better future has never happened here.

At this point, the mad scientist named Phoenix Institute's murderous man died, leaving only the heartbroken Rintaro Okabe.

Until a few days later, Suzuha, the future warrior of this world line, called.

In that A world line, Kurisu was controlled by Sern and forced her to build a time machine, so she was called the mother of time machines. In today's beta world line, she also has the ability to build a time machine. Even because of her death, this information fell into the hands of other countries. Then countries began to compete for the time machine, leading to the Third World War. outbreak, killing billions of people.

Suzuha came back from the future to avoid the outbreak of World War III, and the opportunity to save the future was to ensure the survival of Makise Kurisu.

Therefore, Okabe Rintaro once again embarked on a journey to change the world, not to save the future of the world, but to find a future that allows his beloved lover to live.

In the end, with the help of Rintaro Okabe fifteen years in the future, Okabe at this point in time finally deceived the world and avoided the occurrence of World War III. He did not enter a dystopian future and the truth did not die. , Kurisu also successfully survived, and finally reached the Steins;Gate world line that everyone expected.

Everything is a choice in Steins;Gate.

Such a story took twenty-four episodes and took more than eight hours. Rintaro Okabe and Kurisu Makise finished reading it completely. Then they sat in front of the computer and fell into a long silence.

The story of Steins;Gate was a bit dull in the early stage, so that many people were confused when watching it. However, these two people are different. One is the greatest scientist of the 21st century, and the other calls himself a mad scientist. In the early stage of the story, The serious and steady scientific style has deeply attracted them, not to mention it is their own story, and they have never looked away from the beginning to the end.

but

Sure enough, the climax after twelve episodes was the most powerful. The tension was so overwhelming that they could hardly breathe. In addition, Ma Yu died again and again, and the cruel fate of having to choose one of the two seemed to have a firm grip on them. heart.

But okay... okay, the final ending is happy.

Is it wonderful?

Probably so, but...but...

"Is this story not over yet?" Kurisu finally came to her senses and looked at Kaguya with a serious face.

"Oh, I've finished reading it." Kaguya smiled slightly. At this time, she had also finished the five hundred infinite pools, so she put down the game and turned around to face the two of them.

It’s strange to say that Gensokyo is clearly in the near future timeline, even much later than Kirito’s world, but here in Kaguya, there are both the Steins;Gate anime game and the There are online games like FGO that can only be played in a fixed timeline, and there are even antique-level games like King of Fighters. I don’t know how she did it?

Gensokyo is a place not bound by common sense... To use this sentence to explain it would be too much.

Perhaps, Kaguya's real name may be Horaishan *I have everything* Kaguya.

"But this story shouldn't be over yet, right?" Kurisu frowned slightly, "At least, the Okabe fifteen years later, although it has been said in the plot, he is saving...I, experienced once After the failure, I spent fifteen years fighting against the future and building a time machine, so that I could send the video that changed the world from the future to the past, and truly reach the world line of Steins;Gate, then..."

"So, what about this Okabe story?"

"That's right, assistant... no, Christina... no, genius perverted girl... no, Hao 17... no, ahhhh!" Okabe scratched his head in pain, and the version of himself in the cartoon was given to Kurili Qiu had so many weird nicknames that he didn't even know what to call her now.

Kurisu rolled her eyes at him, "You should call me assistant."

Overall, she could barely accept this nickname.

"Okay, assistant." Okabe raised his head, and for the rare moment he was no longer a middle school student, "I also want to know the follow-up story. Of course, I want to know other stories more than the story of me fifteen years later. ... In this world line of Steins;Gate, will there really be no more problems?"

Although the two have some different opinions, they are no longer as tit-for-tat as they were at first.

This is natural. At first, Okabe was unhappy with Kurisu because he felt that she had the arrogance of a genius and couldn't help but want to hit her. Kurisu felt that Okabe was ignorant and incompetent, and that she was completely arrogant. Guys who don't care about other people's feelings, both of them are slightly prejudiced against both sides.

But after watching the animation, although they are not as attracted to each other as in the animation, the impression has been greatly changed.

Okabe knew that Kurisu was not that arrogant person, she just had a competitive heart, and her tough appearance was just to cover up her inner vulnerability. In the animation, I jumped in time countless times and asked Kurisu for help countless times, and she believed her almost ridiculous words again and again, tried her best to help, and in the end even sacrificed herself without hesitation. .

And Kurisu also knew that although Okabe seemed not to care about others at all, he valued his companions more than anyone else. In order to seek a future where no one would die, he struggled on the verge of mental collapse countless times. He must save himself even at the cost of self-harm.

After truly getting to know each other, their attitudes naturally changed.
