"This was often the case when I was young. Tongzi liked to tease girls on purpose. It's the same as that guy. That guy is just a kid." Lin Xiao said.
"Don't be kidding, do you want Miss Lingyu to be my daughter?"
"That's really troublesome."
Lin Xiao smiled bitterly, but quickly put away his smile and looked at Maho again.
Because the height difference was too big, he turned into Maho and looked up at himself.
"From my subjective point of view, this world exists thanks to Chris's choices."
"It is precisely because of Chris that Mayu is fine and can live happily. It is impossible for me not to protect such a world."
"You are a scientist and have a much better mind than me, so you can understand the truth of this world."
"Yeah," Maho nodded quietly.
"Speaking of it, it is like a god. It would be foolish for a person to challenge a god. However, I have tried to stand against it hundreds of times, but all of them have failed. It is useless."
"God will never forgive man's arrogance."
"Yes."
Maho looked out the window as if he was missing the distance.
"God, this thing, is an existence that many people believe in."
"I learned that concept from my parents. Although I am dedicated to science, I will never despise gods."
"so."
Maho shook his head slightly and looked at Lin Xiao with sharp eyes: "But, what you always say is completely different."
As if he was throwing away something, he said decisively: "The truth of the world, this kind of thing only has the formula that constitutes this world. There is no such great thing as God participating in it, and the reason why we cannot find the solution does not exist."
Lin Xiao was about to argue, but Zhenfan entered the development first.
He had no choice but to follow.
"I have fully realized the various causes and consequences, as well as the dangers they will bring. Don't worry, I am still a sealer. I don't want you to worry about the situation. I will never let it happen, nor will I let the world return to A.
world line.
Of course, I'm also discussing avoidance measures." Maho said, "But there are more important things now than allocating resources."
Maho banged on the phone oven: "Now we are studying the time jump that Chris has completed."
"So, just a time jump?"
"That's what happened."
Without special observation, I found that this thing is more like a time jumping machine than a telephone oven.
Reproduce the time jump feature of Chris' stomach's modification of the telephone oven.
The easiest thing to understand is the connection between the main microwave oven and another computer.
Then the computer uses many electrodes trailing wires to connect to the headphones.
No one knows the detailed structure of the time jump machine in this world except myself, and I have not told Kiriko and Maho in detail.
In other words, Maho was able to create something similar to Chris with just a few hints.
"To be honest, I'm really unwilling."
"Not willing?"
"The more I researched, the more I realized it for myself. Sure enough, I can't become Chris. I digitized the memory, then added it to the memory to search for signals, and sent it to the mobile phone. I have already achieved this level."
"However, the biggest problem cannot be solved. Obviously Chris can do it."
"Data compression?" Lin Xiao said.
Maho nodded.
"How to compress a huge memory of several terabytes."
This was also the most troublesome part for Chris, but with the help of Tongzi's power, he finally completed it.
"Did you hear Chris talk about the solution?"
Maho was slightly confused by what Anubi and his wife asked.
Asking for help means that she has given up on solving the problem, which means she has admitted failure.
Maybe this is intolerable, but the completion of the machine takes precedence.
However, I do not intend to give any prompts about this question immediately.
"I told you about my elf before and made a promise to you, do you still remember? Never consider using a time machine to save Chris."
"Yes."
"Even now, do you plan to abide by this agreement? Without this intention, I cannot help you."
Maho did not answer for the time being.
However, you don't need to look closely at her face to know that she was strongly shaken in her heart.
"Of course I will abide by the reservation made with you."
"Haha." Lin Xiao said.
After a while, Lin Xiao smiled after hearing this answer.
"You are really not good at lying. I can tell by looking at your expression. The topic ends here."
Lin Xiao walked out of the development room. It seemed that Tongzi hadn't come out yet.
"Tongzi, I'm an idiot, I'm really sorry."
Although he opened his mouth, the other party didn't answer. Maybe he didn't hear me. Maybe it would be better to apologize tomorrow.
"I will come again tomorrow."
Lin Xiao walked towards the entrance.
"Mr. Lin Xiao, do you think Steins;Gate really exists?
Miss Mayu did not die, and Chris did not die. Do you think the world line in this gap exists?"
"If you want to know the ins and outs of my goal, you can ask Lingyu. It's useless. It's just worthless."
"Is it okay to conclude that way?"
"That kind of thing is completely proof of the devil, this kind of proof."
"Yes, it's clear that it hasn't been proven whether it exists or not. You gave up after failing once. It really makes me speechless."
Lin Xiao suddenly grabbed Maho's shoulder, but still tried to control himself.
"I just said that I have challenged it hundreds of times before."
"I've also said that that's not God's truth. Whether it's a world line, a time machine, or Steins;Gate, they are all the formulas that make up the world. No matter how many times it fails, so what, this kind of thing is in science
The world is not very normal, if things still happen like this, then challenge it thousands of times, W times, then you can definitely find it."
"You have no experience, so you say such irresponsible words."
"No, the events, the pain, the despair, the level of boredom I've experienced, it's all because of Chris."
"Formulas don't have feelings."
"It's humans who finally figure out the formula."
Maho’s absorbing eyes.
Why is it that if I just resist head-on, it seems like I have no chance of winning, I can't help but look away.
It will probably explode if it continues.
"Is there anything else?"
He turned around and said unpleasantly.
Maho showed a sad smile, and at that moment, he even thought that the world line had changed.
Dadai pulled Maho towards himself and said, "You are the one who is not good at lying."
While thinking about what this meant, he unconsciously touched his face.
But he didn't understand his own expression.
"What's wrong with you? I didn't lie."
"Tongzi said that a year ago, you couldn't even carry a time machine."
"But it's completely different now, because your expression is the same as the expression I often had before." Maho said.
"I lost in experiments, lost in papers, and lost in reputation. I feel depressed and feel so useless."
"But at the end of every day, I say it to myself in the mirror."
Maho pointed to the position of his heart: "If you give up jumping, it will be over. If you do, you will never win."
Then this time he pointed at Lin Xiao's chest with that finger.
"Now you, like me, have the desire for revenge deep in your heart, and the yearning for Steins;Gate that made you so miserable."
"There is no such thing."
"That's right. You are really just like me."
"Very stubborn. Once spoken, he cannot listen to what others say. Even if he knows he is wrong, he will never admit it. He behaves like a child and only causes trouble for others."
"There is no such thing as this, and it is the same as what I said, but because of this, I understand."
"Whether it's you or me, we will definitely stand up on our own strength in the end, right, Mr. Lin Xiao."
"Again, the truth of the world is nothing but a mere joke. We can definitely find the village where there is no god, just a village. Then we must find the route that leads to Mayu not dying and Chris alive."
Although she has such a small body but is so powerful, Lin Xiao was suppressed by her words and gesture.
I was speechless for a moment.
"So, what are you going to do? This is your ALB. It would be outrageous if the director is not here."
At this time, I received a text message from Ni Huazi, saying that he saw Mayu and ran away crying.
Seeing that Lin Xiao was silent, Zhenfan looked at the screen.
"You're crying, what happened?"
"Yeah, Mayu doesn't know what happened and what to do."
"Did she hear the conversation just now?" Lin Xiao said.
"Speaking of which, I don't know when Tongzi stood behind Lin Xiao." Tongzi said; "It was Mayu who told me you were coming to LAB. She also said she was on her way here."
So it's just in time? It's very possible.
How come, there is a feeling that the ground is collapsing. Because of Chris's sacrifice, Mayu will survive.
Only this truth cannot be known to Zhenyu. Everyone will hide this truth and must find Zhenyu.
She can't be left alone now.
Lin Xiao rushed out of LAB.
The other side.
"Phew, it's still so hot."
It was almost 6 pm. Although the summer solstice sun finally set on the other side of the building and was hidden, the summer sky was partly red and the rest was dyed blue.
Lingyu has been carefully maintaining the time machine located on the roof of the Broadcasting Hall these days, and the time that has passed before departure is approaching.
The maintenance of the machine is naturally more important to you, and even the parts that were originally a little dirty are polished and shiny.
Isn't it too much? It's really unsettling.
After finishing the maintenance, I packed up the box containing the tools, put the box in the cockpit of the time machine and put it away. Then I sat on the machine's operator's seat and checked the remaining battery power again.
Taking into account the remaining fuel, it is calculated that it will not be possible to return to July 8, 2001 in about one month. This is the remaining time that Lingyu can continue to stay in this era.
As a result, it may not be possible to take Lin Xiao through as originally planned. In that case, I will have to challenge the plan I learned in a year alone.
"Even so, if it's dad, it won't work."
Lingyu smiled bitterly and reached into the core of the computer. The external hard drive placed there did not look like 06, but looked like something from now, that is, 2011.
It was probably Tongzi who secretly put it here without concealing Lingyu's knowledge.
When I saw many hidden things appearing on the LCD screen, it didn't take a second for the cash machine to see through the disguise. The lack of disguise showed that the purpose was not to gain knowledge.
It was probably because I wanted to prevent the hard drive from being discovered, so I hid it secretly and pretended not to know where it was before setting off.
At this time, the sound of a heavy iron door opening suddenly came to my ears.
Who is coming? Lingyu quickly took out his weapon and peeked over there, into the sea area. During the camp time a few days ago, it was better to be careful, but after seeing the person coming, Lingyu released his stance.
"Sister Mayu, it's really rare."
Lingyu put away her weapon.
"Lingyu."
"Are you crying? What happened?"
Lingyu was confused. Why was Mayu, who always had a smile on her face, crying?
"Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"Um?"
"Why don't you tell me about Miss Chris and Mayu?"
I couldn't help but be speechless by that sentence. Who did I hear it from? It was a cruel fact that Chris needed to sacrifice himself for the sake of the truth.
Lingyu didn't want to see Mayu's face when she knew the truth.
"Who said it?" Although he asked, not many people knew about this matter, and Lingyu felt that no one would tell Mayu the truth.
Instead, everyone hid the facts for the sake of truth.
"I heard the discussion between Lin Xiao and Miss Maho."
Is it really an accident?
"Miss Lingyu, I have something to ask you about Mayu and Lin Xiao in 2006."
Lingyu suddenly didn't know what to say.
"It's best not to know what's going to happen in the future."
Mayu's training and that shed another line of tears.
"Zhenyu can't play any role even in this world, so for the world and Lin Xiao, they need Miss Chris even more."
Lingyu suddenly fell into an illusion, as if the future Mayu and the present Mayu were intertwined. The thought of ending up as Mayu, whom Lingyu had seen since childhood, could no longer refuse her request.
"The true meaning of the future that I know, I often say this. At that time, I always looked at the sky blankly, very lonely and sad."
"Bang and I were very sad when we saw Sister Mayu's expression."
"There is a girl named Bon. She was a war orphan. Later, Sister Mayu tickled her hand, so she called her your daughter." Lingyu said.
"She is very gentle and strong. When she was young, she often said she would protect her mother."
"Because she is such a child, Mayu-san still works silently. Speaking of which, today, July 7th, is called Chinese Valentine's Day."
Lingyu said.
"Yes."
"When I was young, I learned from Sister Mayu that it was the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl once a year. Although it was an era when stars could not be seen, Mayu Ji always said so.
Even if the night sky is covered by dark clouds, my behavior has not disappeared from the world. It is still shining on the other side of the dark clouds, so let’s make a wish together.” (To be continued)
