All that was left was Okabe Ryutaro's own memories and endless regrets.
Seeing such a result, the audience naturally could not accept it and protested.
Of course, since the footage was still being shown, the audience still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, thinking that the director would not be so ruthless.
"There should be a twist later, right? It can't possibly end like this, right?"
"How would I know? But there should be more."
"No, there has to be one. I can't accept this ending!"
"… "
The voices of the audiences rang out in major movie theaters.
And just when the audience were all hoping for a reversal in the story and a good ending, as if to match the audience's emotions, in the movie, after Okabe Ryutaro traveled back to the β world line, the movie actually started playing the ending song.
"How is that possible?!"
"No way?"
"Is this the end?"
"My Makise Kurisu!!"
"No way, it's okay to watch "Fate Zero" in the morning, but why is it that "Steins;Gate" in the afternoon is still a bed end!!!"
"this… "
"???"
"… "
Suddenly, a melodious song sounded, coupled with the empty picture, and everyone's heartbeat suddenly stopped at this moment.
At this moment, seeing the song that seemed to announce the end of everything, all the audience members suddenly lost control and started cursing.
At the same time, King Hubbard and others in the Northrick Cinema were also confused. Although they could not fully understand many concepts in the movie, they could still understand the general plot content.
"This... is it over? Why do I feel angry for the first time in a long time... Thinking back carefully, the last time I got angry was when I was still young..."
As King Hubbard spoke, the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time. Obviously, even a calm man like him was very angry about this result.
On the other side, General Wilhelm smiled bitterly:
"Well, although I don't really understand this movie, the ending is really bad..."
"Indeed, although it makes sense logically, it is by no means a good ending."
The orc prophet also nodded in the same way, and was also very dissatisfied with this outcome.
However, they are relatively calm and not as out of control as the audience around them.
In comparison, Juno on the side was so furious that she was extremely dissatisfied with the ending.
…
At the same time, at the Imperial Magic Academy, the emotions of many magicians were also somewhat out of control.
In the huge square, neither students nor lecturers expected such an outcome and they were all confused and shocked.
"What the hell? What's going on? Is this the end?"
"Because of the first D-mail, we jumped from the β world line to the α world line, and all Okabe Ryutaro did was just to erase everything and jump back from the α world line to the β world line. This is too nihilistic. I can't accept it!"
"How can this be accepted?"
"… "
All of a sudden, even the rational magicians couldn't help but swear, unable to accept such an outcome.
Therefore, everyone's murderous sharp gazes were all immediately directed at Du Lin who was sitting in his seat.
In contrast, Du Lin himself was not panicked at all and sat there calmly.
Regarding all this, Gebulen beside him said helplessly:
"Is this your bad taste, Director Du Lin? I remember that the ending song I originally arranged was not to be played at this time..."
"Isn't this to better highlight the despair of the protagonist Okabe Rintaro and let the audience understand the protagonist's feelings? Look, don't their murderous eyes symbolize the pain of Okabe Rintaro himself in the movie?"
"this… "
Gebrunn twitched his lips in surprise at Durin's confident words and his complete indifference to the gazes of many magicians and even the great sage on the top of the Mage's Tower.
However, as a repeater of the Imperial Magic Academy, he was already familiar with this kind of situation and calmed down in an instant.
But Chris couldn't stand the gazes of the crowd and shrank behind Geblen. Her cautious look made the others around her feel embarrassed to stare at her with murderous eyes.
Just when the magicians couldn't help but want to say something, and even the great sage couldn't help but want to express his opinion on the ending, a scene that no one expected suddenly appeared in the movie.
…
Due to their extreme anger at the ending, most of the audience did not leave even after the ending song started playing. They continued to discuss intensely with each other while waiting for the final outcome of the movie.
They undoubtedly couldn't accept the ending of the movie.
Just as the ending song was about to end and the audience's anger was overflowing into the sky, a little light suddenly appeared on the movie screen again.
A scene that no one expected suddenly emerged.
In the movie, Hashida, who was typing code, suddenly received a call and answered it instinctively.
"Hello... Hey? Who... who are you?"
"Father? What? Okabe?"
"Okabe, a mysterious woman wants you to answer the phone."
After answering the call, Hashida immediately handed the phone to Okabe Rintaro.
The latter said in a tired voice after receiving the call:
"Who is it?"
In response to Okabe Rintaro's question, the woman on the other end of the phone shouted directly:
"Please! Come to the roof of the radio station right now!"
Hearing this voice, Okabe Rintaro couldn't help but exclaimed:
"You... Could it be that you are?"
"I am Amanone Suzuha, the daughter of Hashida Shi who came back from 2036!"
"Suzuha? Why are you here?"
"Please, please believe what I say! All of this is to prevent the outbreak of a world war. Please come to the roof of the radio station quickly. I'm waiting for you here!"
Upon hearing Amanone Suzuha's shocking words, Okabe Rintaro immediately showed a confused expression.
Likewise, the audience was all shocked at once, and the madness and collapse just now were completely gone.
So, under everyone's eyes, the story of "Steins;Gate" unfolds again.
Chapter 347: The second part of Steins;Gate is released! (XVIII)
Chapter 347
"Oh my god? There's still more?"
"It turns out it's not over yet, luckily I didn't leave!"
"Oh my god, is there really a twist?"
"Ahh, please, turn it over quickly!!"
"My Makise Kurisu!!!"
"You..."
"… "
For a while, all the major movie theaters were filled with wailing.
There is no doubt that all the audience have been upset by the previous pseudo-ending. Now they have no extra thoughts and just want to see an acceptable good ending as soon as possible.
And it is in this situation that the plot of "Steins;Gate" slowly develops and is presented to everyone!
…
In the movie.
After arriving at the agreed location, Okabe Rintaro met Amanone Suzuha who was waiting there. The huge machine placed behind her was called a time machine, which could travel through time and space.
At this moment, after meeting Okabe Rintaro, Awanone Suzuha directly stated the final conclusion.
"Uncle Okabe, what I said before is true. If left unchecked, this world line will end in a world war. The result of the war will cause more than 80% of the world's population to die by 2036."
"W-why?"
Unable to understand what the other party said at once, Okabe Ryutaro traveled through time and space many times, sacrificed Makise Kurisu, and returned to this β world line. He could not understand why this happened, nor could he accept this result.
But Awanyin Lingyu did not hesitate and said directly:
"It's very simple. Everything started with this time machine. In order to fight for the time machine, a devastating super war broke out among the countries. It would be a disaster for all mankind."
"What?"
Hearing these words, Okabe Rintaro fell silent.
And Awanyin Lingyu stretched out his hand and said:
"So, come with me and save the world!"
Okabe Rintaro was silent for a moment in response to Amanon Suzuha's matter-of-fact words, and finally said in a cold voice:
"I refuse!"
"Why?"
"I came back here from the α world line. In the past three weeks, I have been constantly changing world lines, even sacrificing Kurisu, to reach this β world line. To make all this in vain... I can't do it!"
Amanone Suzuha was slightly stunned by Okabe Rintaro's firm words, but then she spoke:
"Okabe Rintaro, what if I say that in order to avoid a world war, all we need to do is save Makise Kurisu, who died on July 28, 2010?"
"What?"
"I don't know the details, but I have only one mission, which is to save Makise Kurisu and reach the only world line that is not affected by the world line convergence range and go to Steins;Gate!"
“?!!”
Hearing this, Okabe Rintaro was stunned.
The audience outside the screen were also stunned. They didn't expect that the plot would have such a big twist at this time.
…
"What the hell? Why is the world still falling into extinction even though it has reached the β world line?"
"I don't know, but the key question is not here. Amanone Suzuha said she came here to save Makise Kurisu. Can she really do that?"
"The world line has changed. Unless we return to the α world line, Makise Kurisu will definitely die, right?"
"Isn't Steins;Gate Okabe Rintaro's own chuuni slogan? Why did it come from Amanone Suzuha's mouth?"
“I don’t know either, but does this give us hope?”
"Ahh, please, give me a happy ending!!!"
"… "
All of a sudden, audiences in major movie theaters let out all kinds of wails.
After experiencing the excitement of "Fate Zero" in the morning, they now urgently need a decent ending to ease their painful mood.
On the other hand, the magicians of the Imperial Magic Academy expressed great confusion about saving Makise Kurisu at this moment.
After all, according to the setting of "Steins;Gate" itself, the convergence of the world line cannot be changed. If you want to change the world line, you have to distort several key events.
Therefore, Okabe Rintaro is left with two choices: either save Makise Kurisu and enter the α line, or save Mayuri and enter the β line.
If he wants to save Makise Kurisu, the only way is to enter the α line, but this means sacrificing Mayuri, which doesn't seem like a choice that Okabe Rintaro would make.
"Is there any other way?"
