Even the magicians of the Imperial Magic Academy felt that this was a dead end and there was no possibility of reversal.
Of course, even so, all the audience still kept a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and people felt that there might be a way to reverse the situation.
Therefore, they all held their breath, silently watching the scene in front of them, waiting for the final result to come.
…
"Okada, your phone..."
In the movie, Mayuri suddenly said this.
Faced with Okabe Rintaro who had completely collapsed and knelt on the ground, she could only take his cell phone out on her own initiative.
When Mayuri opened her phone, she found an email inside. The content of the email only said one sentence - watch TV.
In response, Hashida Shi quickly took out his smartphone and turned on the TV function.
"Although the cargo hold of Dr. Chubachi's plane caught fire, it seems that it still managed to land at its destination."
The news anchor said this, and then the scene switched to Dr. Nakabachi.
Facing many reporters, he smiled and said:
"It was really saved. It was all thanks to this thing that it was found by the metal detector, so the paper was not burned in the fire."
As he spoke, Dr. Chubachi took out a small machine.
Mayuri immediately exclaimed:
"Ah, that's Mayuki's Metal Upa. Look, Mayuki's name is written on it!"
"It actually went abroad with me? That's why the thesis wasn't burned!"
Hashida Chi echoed this.
In response, Awanyin Lingyu nodded and said:
"That paper is the cause of everything. Because the paper was taken abroad by Dr. Chubachi, many world powers began to compete fiercely for the time machine, which eventually led to the world war. This involves countless lives. Uncle Okabe, please save Makise Kurisu and change the world line."
In response to Amanon Suzuha's remarks, Okabe Rintaro lowered his head and said slowly:
"Impossible, it's the same as when Mayuri did it. No matter how hard I struggle, the result won't change. Kurisu will still die."
"Why? It was just a failure..."
"Once?! Don't talk nonsense. Do you know how many times I have failed? Dozens of times? Hundreds of times? Thousands of times...?! I know very well how unreasonable this Ring of Time is. I already know what kind of cruel ending it will bring! I am tired... tired..."
After saying this, Okabe Rintaro lowered his head in despair and walked forward with a slow gait.
Just as he was about to leave, Mayuri suddenly slapped him hard and shouted:
"Okabe is not the kind of person who gives up halfway. Mayuki knows that. Okabe is definitely not the kind of person who gives up easily. It was with your help in the past that Mayuki was able to get out of this situation and become as energetic as she is now. So... don't give up..."
After hearing Mayuri's words, Okabe Rintaro was stunned and stood there at a loss.
And Awanyin Lingyu said slowly:
"Uncle Okabe, you should have received a video email on the day of the lecture on July 28th."
"mail?"
Hearing what Amanon Suzuha said, Okabe Rintaro immediately recalled the strange email, the weird message with a distorted screen and impossible to read.
"Now, I should be able to watch it. If I failed to save Kurisu once..."
"What's the meaning?"
"I'm sorry that I kept it from you. It was actually part of my plan to experience failure. It was so that you, my uncle, could read this email at this time."
After hearing what Awanone Suzuha said, everyone present immediately looked at the phone in Okabe Rintaro's hand.
When Okabe Rintaro opened the strange email, some images slowly appeared on his phone.
In the picture, a man with only his back shown slowly said:
"This is the first time we met, me 15 years ago."
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
At the same time, the audience outside the screen was completely shocked by the shocking information that emerged during this period of time.
…
"What the hell, what's going on?"
"The future Okabe Rintaro?"
"This this this this this... What is this?!"
"Fuck, I'm so excited!"
"… "
All of a sudden, seeing the sci-fi scenes in the movie that were beyond cognition, the audiences in major cinemas were completely excited.
In an instant, a kind of electric shock-like excitement surged through everyone. All the audience even forgot to blink at this moment and stared at the picture on the screen.
Chapter 350 (Twenty-one) EL PSY CONRGOO!
Chapter 350
As soon as Okabe Rintaro from the future appeared on the mobile phone screen, he attracted almost everyone's attention.
No one expected that the plot of "Steins;Gate" would have such a big reversal after reaching this point.
At the same time, the future Okabe Rintaro on the phone screen also quickly said:
"Since you have already opened this email, it means that you have already failed once in saving Makise Kurisu. I guess it must be painful. However, it is precisely because of this pain that I have a persistent belief, so I can't treat it as 'something that never happened'. In other words, this is a kind of advance preparation. With this preparation, we can finally get to the point of the plan."
"Main topic?"
"It is a plan to save Makise Kurisu and enter Steins;Gate. There are two conditions. One is to erase the paper on the time machine that Professor Chubachi brought abroad from this world, and the other is to save Makise Kurisu."
"Is this really possible...?"
Before Okabe Rintaro could even ask his question, the future Okabe Rintaro in the picture continued:
"However, wanting to avoid Makise Kurisu's death and change the past has become an impossible task due to the convergence of the world line, right? But let me make it clear, it is possible to save Makise Kurisu, but the method is wrong. Listen carefully, you must not change the established past, and you must not let the things you saw in the past become 'things that never happened'. If they become 'things that never happened', the past will change, and everything will be in vain."
"Think back to everything you went through in the α world line. Although it seems like only three short weeks, you should still remember the time you spent with Kurisu. Together with Kurisu, you sacrificed many memories and struggled to save Mayuri. The experience should still exist. You must not let those painful world lines drift in vain, and you must not treat them as 'things that never happened'. It is because you have been to countless world lines that you, who longed to save Kurisu, exist there. It is because I, who dedicated everything to the time machine, exist here. The place you are in now is the place we can reach because we all longed to save Kurisu."
"So, deceive yourself, and save her without changing the past that 'Kurisu is dead'. Let your past self 'observe' the living Kurisu as the dead Kurisu. If you do this, the past will not change!"
When others were still confused after hearing what their future self said, Okabe Ryutaro had already realized everything and a light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
And the future Okabe Rintaro continued:
"By the way, the model of the time machine is C204. I don't need to explain what the first letter means. Also, I was the one who named the destination Steins;Gate. If you were me, you would understand why it was named that."
"It doesn't make any sense..."
"It doesn't make any sense, does it?"
As the past and future Okabe Rintaro smiled at the same time, the future Okabe Rintaro immediately said:
"Next, the outline of the final mission [The Goddess Who Controls the Future] will be explained. The outcome will be changed without changing the established past. 'Makise Kurisu, who was lying on the ground covered in blood' and Okabe Rintaro, who witnessed all of this, will change the outcome without changing the established past. Deceiving the original you, deceiving the world, these are the conditions for reaching Steins; Gate. Good luck, EL PSY CONRGOO."
Having said that, the picture on the phone disappeared.
On the other side, Okabe Ryutaro was silent for a moment and then suddenly burst into laughter and said:
"You actually said the goddess who controls destiny, you actually said EL PSY CONGROO, I'm already 33 years old, what am I still doing? It's like my chuunibyou is at full throttle! Then I'll show you, if this is the choice of Steins;Gate! I'm the crazy research maniac, Hououin Kyouma! Cheating the world is such a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning, wahahahahaha!"
Seeing Okabe Rintaro's wild laughter, the people around him were surprised, but Mayuri immediately smiled and said:
"Mayuki really likes Okabe more like this."
In response, Okabe Rintaro spoke up as if he was not letting anyone off the hook:
"Then let me say it again, I am the crazy research maniac, Fenghuangyuan Kyouma!"
"The world is in my hands!"
…
Seeing the sudden huge turning point in the movie and Okabe Rintaro's passionate declaration accompanied by the high-energy BGM, all the audience fell into silence at once, and then burst into extremely intense noise.
People were all surprised by the result. They didn't expect that the story of "Steins;Gate" would have such a shocking twist.
"Oh my god, this is too exciting! I'm almost burning up!"
"Cheat the world, cheat fate? Can this really be done?"
"Spending a lifetime just to save the one you love, how romantic!"
"Oh my god, this plot is so intense, I feel like I'm about to suffocate!"
"To be honest, the second-year protagonist looks more comfortable than the calm protagonist before. The previous protagonist seemed normal, but it made people feel very abnormal."
"Does Steins;Gate really exist?"
"EL PSY CONGROO!"
"… "
All of a sudden, all kinds of noises were heard.
The shocking reversal in the ending of "Steins;Gate" makes every audience feel so nervous that they almost suffocate.
No matter how much prejudice people had against this movie before entering the cinema, they felt an indescribable excitement when they saw the reversal here.
Even at this moment, in the eyes of the audience, the protagonist's immature words and deeds no longer feel out of place, but instead make people feel very friendly.
After all, fighting against fate as a mortal and deceiving the world with human wisdom, the mere thought of this makes people feel incomparable excitement. Coupled with the foreshadowing created by almost all the plots in the previous part of the movie, the outburst at the last moment has reached a level beyond imagination.
At least, all the audience in the cinema have no other thoughts at the moment. They just want to see the rest of the story of "Steins;Gate" and see the moment when the story reaches its climax!
Chapter 351 (Twenty-two) This is the choice of Steins;Gate!
Chapter 351
Although the audience is very much looking forward to the final plot, people still cannot imagine how the protagonist will deceive the world and change his destiny.
At the Imperial Academy of Magic, the magicians naturally couldn't help but discuss how the protagonist should do this.
"To deceive the world, that is, to fake Makise Kurisu's death?"
"But Makise Kurisu's death is certain. If she didn't die, why did Okabe Ryutaro in the past see her death?"
"Could it be that they created an identical doll and had her die in place of Makise Kurisu? I remember that the top doll makers can do something like this."
"But this kind of thing can't be done in the world view of Steins;Gate, right?"
"… "
Suddenly, the discussion among the crowd intensified.
And it is in this context that the final scene of the "Steins;Gate" movie finally arrived.
…
In order to complete the final plan, everyone returned to the institute to begin final preparations.
Okabe Rintaro returned to the research institute and found a tube that could emit plasma. He explained to the confused people nearby:
"I will use this to disguise it as Makise Kurisu's blood. As long as I find Makise Kurisu lying in a pool of blood on July 28, the established past will not change. This is the purpose of the "Goddess of the Future" operation."
"It does make sense, but it seems a little naive. I thought Okabe would come up with something more amazing 15 years later."
In response to Hashida's confusion, Okabe Rintaro laughed and said:
"Hehe, Fenghuangyuan Xiong is a man who exaggerates the simpler the battle is. Hehe, idiot, I have seen through your actions a long time ago."
Seeing Okabe Rintaro's usual immature performance, everyone's expressions suddenly showed helplessness.
So, after this, the operation to deceive the world officially began.
Okabe Rintaro and Amanone Suzuha once again traveled back to July 28th in the past.
This time, Okabe Rintaro was the first to come to the Metal Upa's gashapon machine. In order to prevent the Metal Upa from mixing into the document bag and thus allowing the document bag to survive the subsequent plane fire, he took away the extremely rare Metal Upa inside first, and successfully made Okabe Rintaro only twist out an ordinary green Upa.
After doing all this, Okabe Rintaro took the initiative to go to the place where Makise Kurisu died, and in order to ensure consistency with the past, he once again met Makise Kurisu on the road.
