…
Northrick.
After the screening ended in the morning, many viewers went home to have lunch first, and then stood at the door of the cinema without hesitation in the cold wind.
And because there were no TV broadcasts in the afternoon, the audiences who had originally flocked to the TV bar now all crowded in front of the cinema.
Fortunately, Durin had previously asked Viscount Barnier to build cinemas in the southern border no matter how much it cost, even if there were too many of them.
Therefore, even though a large number of audiences are pouring in at once, the cinema is not full and tickets are not available.
As for some scalpers who had already shown signs of rebellion, thanks to the efforts of Viscount Barnil and the soldiers from the southern border, they were basically eliminated as soon as they appeared.
The extremely severe punishment measures scared off other people who wanted to do this business, and completely eliminated the trend of scalping tickets in a short period of time.
At this time, while waiting to enter, all the audience were talking excitedly while waiting in line.
"Oh! Finally there's a new movie to watch!"
"Steins;Gate 1: Flutter of the Fate Butterfly", what will this movie be about?"
"To be honest, I have been looking forward to this new movie since yesterday. I think it must be a blockbuster movie like "Fate Zero"!"
"Not necessarily. Fate Zero hasn't even finished airing yet. Director Dooling wouldn't be in such a hurry to release a new movie of this scale, right? I think it might be another adventure-themed movie like Goblin Slayer!"
"Two adventure films have been made. Although there may be more films, I think it is more likely to be shown on TV. After all, the performance of this type of subject on the big screen is obviously not as good as the atmosphere in the TV tavern."
"Yeah, yeah, I think it might be a film with a heavy suspenseful atmosphere similar to "Kara no Kyoukai". After all, I think a film like "Kara no Kyoukai" should be shown on the big screen of a movie!"
"Anyway, let's wait and see the specific contents. For now, we can only look forward to it as much as possible!"
"… "
As the audience chattered, adventurers Joseph and Sam were now mixed in the crowd, excitedly waiting for the movie to start.
"Thank you for lending me the money. Otherwise, I would have to use the money from the next meal to buy movie tickets."
"Haha, why are you thanking me for such a small thing? I just want to watch new movies to ease my pain from the consecutive suspension of "Fate Zero" and "Kara no Kyoukai"!"
Joseph and Sam’s exchange rings true.
At the same time, not far from them, the orc prophet and Juno had also arrived at the scene and successfully met up with King Hubbard and others.
During the period before the movie opened, everyone was talking excitedly, and it was obvious that they were looking forward to this new movie of unknown subject shot by Du Lin!
Chapter 183: Steins;Gate Released! (I)
Chapter 183
While many movie theaters in the southern border were packed with people, the Imperial Magic Academy had gradually begun preparations for the second movie.
The shadow barrier set up by students of the special elements discipline, under the command of Student Union President White, gradually unfolded, and the atmosphere of the entire square gradually turned into a state of watching a movie.
Students and lecturers of the Imperial Academy of Magic gathered here at this moment, discussing the possible content of the new movie.
“I heard that this new movie seems to be about magicians, and it is not a virtual magician setting like "Fate Zero" and "Kara no Kyoukai", but a real magic-related content.”
"Is it related to magic? I am really looking forward to it. What kind of plot will it be? Can we finally see a great magician or even a great sage unleash magic to fight each other?"
"Haha, that's not ridiculous. With magic at level 5 or 6, the destructive power of such a battle would make it difficult to film a usable shot."
"Yes, yes. I think it's more likely that the protagonist is a high-level magician."
"By the way, where did you get this information? How do you know that this "Steins;Gate" is related to magicians?"
"Uh, don't you know? This time, the actors for Steins;Gate are recruiting directly from our academy. The recruitment notice is still hanging on the bulletin board in front of the student union. Even the actors are our magicians. No matter how you think about it, it must be related to magicians."
"Yes, I auditioned, but was rejected because my acting was so bad."
"Me too, me too. Although I didn't succeed, meeting Senior Du Lin in person still made me feel like a dream come true. He has been my idol since a long time ago!"
"Well, that's not the case. Wasn't he a problem student in the academy before?"
"Don't you know? Before he became a problem student, he was the first in every magic competition. No matter what the subject was, he could easily delve into the most profound mysteries. Even the dean was impressed by his talent beyond imagination. But it was a pity that he finally chose the most unconventional magic alchemy. At that time, it shocked the entire Mage Tower."
"Yes, I didn't expect that he could even develop the subject of magic alchemy. He can really be said to be an unprecedented magic genius."
"Oh, I remember now. It turns out that the genius rarely seen in a thousand years in the Imperial Magic Academy and the freak of magic alchemy are the same person. No wonder it sounds so familiar to me."
"You're really out of touch with the news. When the first episode of Fate Zero was released, the news about Senior Doolin went viral."
"Sorry, sorry, I wasn't at the academy at the time..."
"Oh, then there's nothing we can do. By the way, who are you, Senior?"
The student who was speaking had just finished saying this when he found that the girl he had just been chatting with had disappeared.
For this reason, he quickly looked around, but didn't see anyone at all. For this reason, he was so scared that his back felt cold, thinking that he had just encountered a ghost.
... ...
On the high platform around the big square, Dulin and Scar chose a good spot to stand.
Beside them, many lecturers and professors from various disciplines were also standing here. In order to maintain the dignity of teachers, they were still unwilling to run to the square to compete with the students for seats.
At this moment, seeing Durin and Scar appear, all the lecturers were surprised, but they did not take the initiative to say hello. It was obvious that they still had some grudges about the low status of the magic alchemy subject in the past, and they have not yet come to their senses.
For this reason, Du Lin did not dare to be surprised. He just looked in the direction of the square and suddenly waved his hand and said:
"Hey, Geblen and Chris, come up and watch!"
Hearing Durin's enthusiastic invitation, Geblen and Chris, who were originally planning to go to the big square, were stunned for a moment.
Although Chris was still a little hesitant, Geblen, a perennial repeater, obviously didn't mind at all about these lecturers who were so familiar to him that they couldn't be more familiar, and he walked up immediately.
"Hey, hello, it's been a while since we last met. After all these years, have you been promoted to a higher position as a lecturer?"
"Oh, Brainy, we were in the same class back then, and in the blink of an eye you've become a lecturer, hahahaha."
"Ah, thanks to you guys for always accompanying me all these years. Otherwise, it would be really lonely if I were to stay alone in this shabby academy to do research."
While many lecturers looked embarrassed at Geblun's overly enthusiastic speech, Professor Stritch immediately glared at him, obviously telling him to stop being so flamboyant.
Feeling Stritch's gaze, Geblen seemed to have restrained himself a little, and came to Du Lin with Chris, who was still a little embarrassed.
"You seem to be in good spirits."
In response to Du Lin's somewhat helpless remarks, Gebulun smiled calmly:
"Hahaha, there's nothing I can do. Who told me to fight against those dangerous dark organizations all the time? If I don't keep my heartbeat strong at all times, I won't be able to keep my consciousness and thinking sharp, and I won't be able to deal with crises that may arise at any time! After all, I am..."
"Stop, stop, stop, I understand..."
Realizing that the other party was indeed a super-chuunibyou who was even more pure than Helena, Du Lin quickly waved his hands, indicating that he could not afford it.
Geblun was also very sensible. When he saw that Du Lin had no intention of playing with him, he immediately calmed down.
Soon, under the expectant gazes of magicians from many academies, some images finally began to appear on the movie screen in the distance.
Seeing all this, Piccol and Dylan, students of the Magic Alchemy Department who had already found a seat in the big square, immediately showed excitement.
After watching "Fate Zero" early in the morning, the two have been arguing about what the new movie will be about. Now they can finally see the real thing.
At the same time, in the southern border, on the other side of the empire, major cinemas finally opened their doors at this moment. Countless people excitedly flocked into the cinemas, eager to be the first to see the new movies that were about to be released.
…
Time passed little by little, and all the people who were ready to watch the movie gradually arrived.
In the Northrick Cinema, Edward Studios, King Hubbard and the Orc Prophet and those around them were all present.
In the Imperial Academy of Magic, all students and lecturers were ready, and many great sages had gathered at the top of the Mage's Tower.
At this moment, under the nervous and expectant gaze of all the audience, the scenes of the movie finally began to appear gradually.
"Steins;Gate Part 1: Flutter of the Fate Butterfly" is finally released!
Chapter 184: Steins;Gate Released! (Part 2)
Chapter 184
“Although the universe has a beginning, it has no end.”
"unlimited."
"Although the stars have a beginning, they will eventually die out due to their own power."
"limited."
"Those who possess wisdom are the most foolish, as history has shown."
"This can be said to be the final notice given by God to those who rebel!"
The opening of "Steins;Gate" is that the male protagonist in a white coat is standing in a place similar to a rooftop, holding a communicator and talking to himself.
Although what he said was quite childish and illogical, it immediately attracted the audience's attention.
Then, a black-haired girl in a light blue dress came from a distance. After a brief greeting, the two of them walked away together under the scorching sun.
…
The beginning of the story is short and lacks narrative, and even the name of the protagonist is not mentioned, leaving most of the audience confused.
But people who have watched "Fate Zero" and "Kara no Kyoukai" have already become accustomed to this narrative technique and are slowly waiting for the exciting plot to emerge.
However, the magicians of the Imperial Magic Academy all showed surprised expressions.
After all, they were the only ones who recognized that the protagonist of "Steins;Gate" was played by Geblen, a student with problems in the subject of spirituality and soul.
Moreover, the girl who appeared in the movie was also a member of the Imperial Magic Academy.
The scene of this familiar character becoming a movie actor made many students feel a little unsure of what to think, and at the same time, the scenes in the movie also quickly underwent a sufficiently attractive transformation.
…
"Start sneaking into the venue now!"
While speaking in a very chuunibyou tone into his phone, the protagonist of "Steins;Gate" walked into a white building with the girl beside him.
"There are so few people. Is it because of the organization's obstruction?"
In response to the protagonist's completely confusing words, the girl next to him asked:
"Is there anything starting?"
"You followed me here without even knowing this?"
As he spoke, the male protagonist pointed to a banner in the distance, on which was written in large letters: 'Conference to Present Dr. Chubachi's Successful Invention of a Time Machine'.
"Time machine? So awesome?"
"Yes, Dr. Nakabachi held a press conference for this invention of the century before we researchers did. I really want to hear his thoughts!"
The moment the protagonist spoke, a shocking vibration suddenly came from the sky, and everyone in the venue was shocked.
For this reason, the male protagonist immediately rushed to the roof, only to find a strange machine landing smoothly on the roof.
The male protagonist was about to investigate this strange scene when he was stopped by a figure in strange clothes.
Thinking that the other party was the security personnel here, the male protagonist finally turned around and left.
Before returning to the venue, the male protagonist found that the girl who accompanied him appeared in front of a gashapon machine and sighed.
Next, the hero and the girl chatted about the gashapon machine, during which people also learned the girl’s name—Mayuri.
Afterwards, the male protagonist used his own money to draw a gashapon and successfully drew the special one that Mayuri wanted.
Seeing the girl's eager look, the male protagonist finally handed the small machine in his hand to her.
"Is that okay, Okada?"
"Please call me Fenghuangin Kyouma!"
"Thank you, Okada!"
"I told you to call me Fenghuangin Kyouma!"
As soon as the words fell, the broadcast sounded.
"Next, Dr. Nakabachi's presentation will begin on the 8th floor! Please prepare to enter."
"… "
"The basic structure of the time machine has been clearly stated in the distributed materials. Here I will only introduce the relevant basic theories. So far, researchers around the world have studied time machines..."
