While the vast majority of the audience found the plot of the movie incomprehensible, the magicians of the Imperial Magic Academy were also amazed by the scenes in the movie.
After all, Mayuri's two deaths were one due to an attack and the other was just a simple accident, but they happened consecutively to the same girl.
If this was an accident, then it was unnecessary.
Therefore, the magicians quickly thought of the setting of the world line theory mentioned before in "Steins;Gate". According to the world line theory, every disturbance of the timeline will cause changes in the world line.
If Mayuri's death was not accidental but inevitable, then the truth behind it is very intriguing.
Of course, since the movie has not yet explained the specific reasons for this, the magicians did not continue to think about anything in the end. Instead, they completely focused their attention and waited for the movie to continue to develop.
…
In the movie screen.
After witnessing Mayuri's death twice, Okabe Rintaro used the time machine to go back in time again. However, he was surprised to find that no matter how he traveled through time, Mayuri's death could not be changed.
"After that, I made countless time jumps to save Mayuri, but no matter what I did, I couldn't change Mayuri's death."
"Even without Kiryu Moeka and SERN's attack, Mayuri would still die for various reasons. It's as if everything was conspired and the will of the world wanted her to die."
"No matter what method or strategy she uses, she will die in the end. It's just like fate."
"… "
During this monologue, Okabe Rintaro once again witnessed Mayuri's death.
Before Mayuri died, she would always utter those words that made him nervous.
"That's weird. Why did Mayuki's pocket watch stop? She had just wound it up."
In an instant, seeing Mayuri die in front of him again, Okabe Ryutaro was exhausted physically and mentally, but he still did not give up. He desperately went to his research institute and used the time machine to go back.
However, he had run out of ideas and didn't know what to do this time.
Because no matter what she did, Mayuri could not escape the fate of death.
However, when he opened the email, he suddenly saw the email sent to him by Kiryu Moeka.
Suddenly, he thought of a solution, which was to subdue the opponent before he led the SERN to attack himself and Mayuri.
He did what he said and quickly sent an email to Kiryu Moeka, and arranged a meeting place with the other party.
As soon as he arrived at the place, he immediately grabbed the other party with a fake gun made of props, and took the opportunity to snatch the real gun from Kiryu Moeyu's waist.
"Don't move. Tell me, what is your purpose?"
"… "
With her expression unchanged from beginning to end, Kiryu Moeka slowly replied:
"Recover IBN5100."
"IBN? Then why are you planning to attack us?!"
"First, you know things you shouldn't know. Second, you built a time machine. Third, you want to announce it to the world."
"You guys know all this?"
“FB told me.”
"FB?"
Before Okabe Rintaro could be puzzled by the name, a heavy blow came from behind him, knocking him unconscious.
After waking up, he was detained in a car. Kiryu Moe looked at him coldly and said:
"Are you John Titor?"
"no."
"Is that so? Then, everything goes as planned. We will attack the research institute and capture Makise Kurisu and Hashida Tadashi."
Seeing Kiryu Moeka and her gang taking action, Okabe Rintaro shouted in despair:
"No... No, please, don't kill Mayuri! I apologize, I will hand over the time machine, and I will not announce anything related to it anymore, please, I am willing to do anything!"
In desperation, Okabe Rintaro took advantage of the fact that the people guarding him had let their guard down and rushed out. The moment he returned to the institute and saw Mayuri's body, he immediately started the time machine.
“Snap!”
In an instant, the scene from three hours ago appeared before his eyes again, and everything returned to the starting point.
… …
"this… "
When the audience saw the plot in the movie, they were stunned.
After all, not to mention that Mayuri's death is a fixed fate, Okabe Rintaro's countless reincarnations cannot break it, and there are more and more mysteries about the hostile organization SERN.
It can be said that the intense conflicts in the second part of the movie "Steins;Gate" far exceeded the audience's expectations. No one expected that this movie, which had a slow pace and no exciting content in the first part, would have such a dramatic plot in the second half.
Therefore, the audience immediately launched a heated discussion, both to compare their understanding with others and to relieve their own tension.
"It seems there is indeed a problem. Mayuri's death is completely unavoidable. How is this possible?"
"Okabe Rintaro did travel through time, but even so, he couldn't change the final outcome. Does this mean that the future is fixed and cannot be changed?"
"How is it possible? In the first part of Steins;Gate, didn't Okabe Ryotaro and his team change a lot of history and the pasts of many people? Since the past can be changed, why can't the future be changed?"
"This... Is it that only Mayuri's future cannot be changed?"
"… "
For a moment, people were talking about it one after another, and no one expected that the story would develop like this.
As for the fact that Mayuri's death could not change anything, although people had heated discussions about it, they could not get any results at all and could only express their confusion from the bottom of their hearts.
…
At the same time, at the Imperial Magic Academy.
The magicians were also surprised by this result. Of course, most of them had guessed a similar possibility a long time ago, and now their guesses were just verified.
Of course, even so, they still couldn't understand why it turned out like this.
After all, even other histories can be changed, so why can't the future be changed as long as Mayuri dies
"Could it be because of the world line? Different world lines have different paths. Only by jumping world lines can all possibilities be changed. In the first part of Steins; Gate, all the actions of Okabe Ryotaro and his team were actually changing the world line, jumping from one parallel world to another. But this time, Okabe Ryotaro's actions could not change the world line. He could only watch the future determined by this world line continue to happen?"
"This... makes sense!!!"
"I think so, too."
"… "
The other magicians nodded in response to a theory that was proposed by someone in the crowd, indicating that this was the case.
Seeing this scene, Du Lin couldn't help but glance at Gebulen who was very interested beside him. He really didn't know how to start the conversation.
After all, he knew very well that those words just now were purely said by him, the leading actor of "Steins;Gate" pretending to be a passerby.
In the end, he could only sigh that the other party's acting skills were indeed not to be underestimated. No wonder he was able to serve as a director and shoot a whole movie in one go.
Chapter 334: The second part of Steins;Gate is released! (V)
Chapter 334
In the movie, Okabe Rintaro completed the time jump again.
But after experiencing failure again and again, he is now extremely exhausted. A feeling of despair surged in his heart and he even picked up the device of the time machine and wanted to smash it!
"I've had enough!"
"Okabe?!"
Makise Kurisu's voice stopped Okabe Rintaro from acting impulsively.
Then, the girl looked at the man in front of her in confusion and asked:
"What's wrong with you? Don't you have to go shopping and prepare for the party later?"
"party..."
Hearing this term, Okabe Rintaro suddenly recalled everything that was about to happen, and immediately rushed out of the room.
However, faced with everything that was exactly the same and a future that could not be changed like fate, Okabe Ryutaro finally fell into despair and collapsed on the street in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, the red-haired girl suddenly came to his side and looked at him helplessly.
"What happened? No, what's going to happen? Did you come back from a time jump?"
In response to Makise Kurisu's sharp remarks, Okabe Rintaro murmured in despair:
"It's all my fault... It's all my fault..."
"If only we hadn't sent Barrel to invade SERN..."
"If only you hadn't said you wanted to build a time machine..."
"If only Kiryu Moeka hadn't joined the research institute..."
"It's all my fault. Mayuri..."
For a moment, tears of regret even appeared in Okabe Ryutaro's eyes, and he looked extremely miserable and painful.
Makise Kurisu just stayed beside him silently, waiting for him to tell her everything.
After a while, after knowing the truth of everything, Makise Kurisu sighed helplessly and murmured:
"You're really reckless, idiot. The time-jumping machine isn't completely safe. If you're not careful, you might just disappear."
Then, facing Okabe Rintaro's fatigue and weakness, Makise Kurisu continued to encourage him, and even acted like the other's previous middle school student, trying to make the man recover again.
Seeing this, Okabe Rintaro was also successfully moved. He truly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up again from despair.
Afterwards, the two went directly to the research institute to start the time machine. This time, Makise Kurisu used her own technology to help Okabe Rintaro jump to an earlier timeline, trying to prevent the time jump machine from being invented.
As it turned out, this was indeed successful. Okabe Ryutaro went back five hours and stopped everyone in the institute from continuing their research just before the time-jump machine was invented.
After that, Okabe Rintaro made a private appointment with Makise Kurisu and told her that he was a time traveler.
For this reason, after knowing everything, Makise Kurisu analyzed:
"Is Mayuri's death unchangeable? There must be a cause for a certain result. Generally speaking, the result of death is caused by some direct events, such as death or accidents, but they are not necessarily the real cause of the result. Although SERN was the direct cause of Mayuri's death, I'm afraid this is not the real cause."
"So what is the real reason?"
"I don't know. This is too widespread. It may even be that a person's birth itself determines his or her death."
“Isn’t this fatalism?”
"That's right, so I don't agree with this view either. I think the possible trigger should be a specific thing."
"The trigger? Could it be... a time machine? As long as this thing is not created?"
"Wait, that's too arbitrary..."
For a moment, the two were about to have an argument when a figure suddenly walked in at the entrance of the institute.
"What Makise Kurisu said is correct. It's not as simple as just preventing the creation of a time machine. In order to save the world, we must reach the barrier that crosses the 1% rate of change of the world line and reach the β world line!"
Under the surprised gazes of Okabe Rintaro and Makise Kurisu, the part-time worker Amanone Suzuha who lived downstairs slowly walked out while talking.
…
The appearance of Awanyin Lingyu surprised all the audience slightly. After all, before this, most people had guessed that her identity was not simple, and she might even be a member of some mysterious organization.
Warrior, Makise Kurisu's analysis seems to be very reasonable to people, and it has well solved the audience's confusion about the plot of the movie.
Therefore, when people saw the plot, they immediately burst into discussion.
"If there is a fixed reason for Mayuri's death, what is it?"
"I think it should be the birth of the time machine. After all, SERN decided to take action against Okabe Ryotaro and his team because they developed the time machine."
"But even if SERN didn't do anything, Mayuri still died in the end? This is clearly a problem."
"Yes, so I think this Awanone Lingyu should be the key to the next plot. She is likely to be the key figure in promoting the development of the plot."
"I think so..."
"… "
All of a sudden, people's curiosity was completely ignited, and they all watched the scenes in the movie nervously, wanting to know what the truth behind all this chaos was.
