"By the way, what does it mean that the protagonist just mentioned that the text message was sent back to last week?"
“It’s getting more and more confusing.”
"… "
In all the major cinemas, the confusion of the audiences was clearly visible.
After all, most of the audience could not understand the fact that Makise Kurisu, who was obviously dead, was resurrected again. The plot line, which had been a little clearer, made everyone confused again.
Of course, the more careful viewers still realized the reason why Makise Kurisu was resurrected.
If everything that Okabe Rintaro saw at the press conference was false, then it would be natural that Makise Kurisu was not dead.
But the main question is what caused all this to happen and what all the confusion in the protagonist's memory means.
Even the most serious moviegoers cannot understand all this at the moment.
Although King Hubbard could not understand it, he was more concerned about the "science fiction" props depicted in the movie. Whether it was the design of the elevator or the university architecture, they were all refreshing to him.
…
Imperial School of Magic.
The magicians were now completely confused by the plot, especially the fact that the email was sent to the past, which directly disrupted everyone's previous guesses about the plot.
"Okabe Rintaro's email was sent? And it was sent a week ago?"
"How is that possible? If his memories are all false, then how can this email really exist?"
"Is his memory real or fake?"
"Could it be that everything he remembers happened a week ago, and because of his disordered memory, he has forgotten everything that happened in the week in between?"
"That's impossible. If that's the case, how could Makise Kurisu still be alive?"
"No matter what, there must be something wrong with reality or memory. If the protagonist's memory is fine, then the problem could be..."
"Reality?"
All of a sudden, all the magicians were stunned. A bold and terrifying guess made them all shudder and stand still.
…
Right now, in the movie.
Like the audience, the protagonist of the film, Rintaro Okabe, cannot believe this fact at all.
He suddenly came up to Makise Kurisu without any image, completely ignoring the girl's dissatisfied look, touching her hair, poking her face, and even wanted to lift her clothes to look at the wounds that should have been on her body.
These actions undoubtedly angered the girl, but just when she tried to call the police or find security personnel, a staff member suddenly came from a distance and called her away.
For this reason, although Okabe Rintaro wanted to stop it, he was helpless and could only let the other party leave. He then went to the lecture venue with Hashida Satoshi.
"… "
"Thank you all for coming today. I have never given a speech like this before, so it may be a little awkward. Please give me your guidance."
Seeing the girl standing on the podium, Okabe Rintaro and Hashida Susumu were both surprised. They didn't expect that Makise Kurisu would be the lecturer today.
"This time, the organizer wants me to give a speech on the topic of time machine. Although the content is different from the published paper, I will try my best to complete this speech."
"First of all, I would like to state that, as far as I am concerned, the so-called time machine does not exist at all. It is just a boring delusion."
As soon as Makise Kurisu finished speaking, Okabe Rintaro's expression suddenly exploded.
"I object!"
In an instant, amid the surprised gazes of many students and lecturers, Okabe Ryutaro shouted:
"It's impossible to build a time machine? This conclusion is too hasty!"
"Is it you?"
Recognizing his appearance, Makise Kurisu sighed and stopped the staff nearby, and said calmly:
"It's not a question of whether it's sloppy or not. It's something that should be denied in theory."
In an instant, the sparks between the two were clear enough for anyone to see.
For this reason, everyone shut up at this moment and watched the two people engage in a heated debate in silence.
However, in the end, the debate undoubtedly ended with Okabe Ryutaro's complete defeat. After all, ordinary university researchers could not compare with world-class talented female researchers.
On the way back, Okabe Rintaro was angry and furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Afterwards, he met Mayuri who was returning home from shopping for groceries. With Mayuri's guidance, he met the pseudo-mistress Urushihara Ryuka. He also met Amanone Suzuha who had just started working part-time downstairs at the convenience store downstairs from his home.
All this made him gradually forget the strange situation of yesterday, and finally he defined it as his own hallucination.
However, just when he was about to put everything behind him, another strange thing happened.
When he wanted to enjoy the books of John Titor, the time traveler who appeared in 2000, as usual, he found that all the books were gone.
He originally thought that only Hashida Shigeki had hidden the book, but when he searched the Internet, he found that the information on the Internet had disappeared completely.
John Titor, the time traveler who appeared in 2000, suddenly ceased to exist and disappeared... from this world.
"What on earth is going on?"
The occurrence of one strange thing after another brought Okabe Rintaro's confusion to its peak and completely ignited the audience's curiosity.
…
"What on earth is going on?"
"I always feel like it's not the protagonist's memory that has a problem."
"Is it true that reality has changed?"
"The world has changed?"
"By the way, what is that machine the protagonist uses? It seems like I can search for information on it. It seems so convenient!"
"Yeah, yeah, it would be nice if there was something like this in reality."
“I feel like the world described in this movie is so magical, and many things in it are completely out of touch with reality.”
"Is this some kind of imagination of the future world? What kind of theme is this? A magical future?"
“It would be great if there really was such a future and I could see it with my own eyes.”
"… "
Discussions in the cinema were ongoing. As the plot of Steins;Gate gradually unfolded, it finally attracted the attention of many viewers and gradually focused people's attention.
Everyone is eager to know the reasons behind the many mysteries in the story.
…
Likewise, at the Imperial Mage Academy.
The magicians were all excited as they gradually realized the true background of this story.
"Could it be that the protagonist's behavior has affected reality, causing the real world to change?"
"But why? What caused it?"
"The most important thing is, why is it that after everything changed, only the protagonist still retained his memory?"
“What is the basis for change?”
“Is this movie really magic?”
Many questions kept coming up, and even the magicians were completely curious at this moment, and they all showed expectant expressions.
Chapter 188: Steins;Gate Released! (VI)
Chapter 188
"It seems that our speculation has been confirmed. It is the reality that has problems."
At the top of the Mage's Tower, the great sages all showed complicated expressions. It was obvious that they did not expect that the truth of this story would be as shocking as they had imagined.
However, even so, the numerous confusing clues still made it difficult for them to see the truth of the matter.
"If the world really did change, what was the cause of the change? Why was the protagonist the only one who realized the change in reality? Also, why did a famous person from several years ago suddenly disappear after the world changed? Is there any connection between the two?"
The great sages present also showed expressions of incomprehension in response to Dean Hohenheim's speech.
After all, although they already had guesses about the reasons why the world was changing, they were still extremely confused about how it was triggered and the consequences it caused.
Even though many great sages vaguely felt that all this seemed to be related to the element of time, they still could not understand how time affected the world.
Therefore, at this moment, they could only shut up and patiently watch the film in front of them, waiting for the content of the film to personally answer their questions.
…
In the movie, the plot of "Steins;Gate" continues to develop.
The protagonist Okabe Rintaro first met a girl named Kiryu Moeka on the road. She seemed to be looking for a very old machine called IBN5100.
After some negotiations, Okabe Rintaro decided to help him find it.
However, after asking Hashida, Okabe Rintaro realized that such a machine did not seem to exist in reality.
After realizing this, the two go to a maid cafe where Mayuri seems to be working part-time.
After communicating with Mayuri and her friend, a middle school girl named Phyllis, in the store, the two eventually returned to the research institute and investigated the oven again.
"In the university's research lab, I conducted an analysis that showed that the banana's internal elements were completely broken down after being heated in the microwave."
"Oh? So the banana has turned into something else?"
"Based on the current situation, it is possible that this oven may have been involved."
"What's the basis?"
"Study the intuition of a madman!"
“There is no basis for this.”
"Anyway, let's do one more experiment."
As he said that, Okabe Rintaro directly picked up the banana that Mayuri bought, and without caring about the possible complaints later, he wanted to use it in that terrible experiment.
However, Hashida Shi did not allow him to do so, and finally took out only one for experimentation.
Soon, the experiment began, and the banana that was taken out began to rotate in the microwave.
After a while, with a 'ding' sound, the heating process ended.
"Okay, the experiment is complete."
Hashida opened the oven and was surprised to find that the banana was gone.
"How is that possible?"
"Is it really gone?"
"Could this be an oven that can teleport?"
“Is this true or false?”
"It should be... fake."
"Hahaha… "
"But how do I explain the banana just now..."
As he spoke, Okabe Rintaro pointed to the bananas on the table in the distance, but suddenly he froze.
Because, on the table, the banana that was originally taken out was actually lying there intact, and the banana that was originally taken out had become like it had been heated in the oven!
"banana?!"
"Look, is it connected completely?"
"We clearly took this off just now?!"
"About..."
"Is this... teleportation?"
"is that so?"
All of a sudden, just when Okabe Rintaro and Hashida Satoshi were completely shocked, a girl's voice suddenly came from a distance.
