Correct use of scientific spells

It was really a shocking cauldron buckled on him.

It's just that this time Xia Youjie has a perfect alibi. He has been with Yuan Shan all day today, and even met Suzu Yu in the amusement park, so there is no chance of arson.

"He's a spellcaster."

Hashida Zhi raised an objection. He first took a look at Xia Youjie and raised his hands: "Let me tell you in advance, I didn't mean to target you on purpose, just to rule out all possibilities—the spell can also be used Is the distance operation used to set fire?"

"That would leave behind the filth of the magic power, just let Gojo-kun come over and take a look."

Makise Kurisu overturned his statement.

Generally speaking, the suspicion on him is still very thin, except for the illusory accusation from the future, he has no motive or reason for committing the crime.

— You know, he's only just begun to fall in love!What kind of reason would make him suddenly attack his lover's residence?This is illogical.

In the end, everyone decided to let Awanyin Suzuha introduce the tragedy that happened in the future world in detail first—the gap between the Xia Youjie in the other party’s mouth and the current image is so huge that everyone didn’t even understand it at all. A way to connect two people together.

"Okay, then I'll tell you again."

Suzuha looked around the crowd: "That was the fifth year after the disaster—"

In the beginning, the conjurers organized a force to resist.This includes several students of Gojo Satoru, the conjurers of Tokyo High School, and their contemporaries including Ange Ji.

They made a lot of contributions at the beginning of the disaster.

The resident population of Tokyo is 700 million, almost one-third of which was lost in the first year, and the remaining people have received more or less intermittent help from these magicians.The curse that pushed people to the top constantly gave birth to new curse spirits, and these curse spirits were driven by the future Xia Youjie, almost becoming a continuous perpetual motion machine.

In this case, the side of the conjurer made an extraordinary effort, and it can even be said to be a painful sacrifice.

"First-class magician Nanami Kento died the year I was born."

Awanyin Suzuha said: "I've never seen him—it's just that this person's name is often mentioned in the chats between Uncle Okabe and the others."

The super conjurer Gojo Satoru was sealed in the same year, and then the situation took a turn for the worse. The principal of the Tokyo High School, Yagami, died.

"Even Teacher Moth?!"

Xia Youjie said in shock—even if it was the worst outcome, if he wanted to attack all the non-magic masters in the world, he shouldn't attack his mentor.

Helping them escape Tokyo is another student of Gojo Satoru, Zenin Maki.The fleeing teams lined up in long queues, almost all the big cities fell, and the sparsely populated remote areas survived the first wave of shock.However, since the fall of Tokyo, there has been a shortage of supplies, interruption of logistics, shutdown of government functions, and the spread of the crisis of curse spirits. It took almost only two years to spread the disaster that was originally limited to Japan to the world. .

In the following years, they have been fleeing in various places, relying on the help of the conjurer and their own inventions to barely survive, and the abnormal fire happened when Awanyin Suzuha was five years old. in a year.

At that time, everyone built several strongholds for temporary residence and resisting curse spirits. People who escaped from the battle royale in Tokyo often choose similar places to hide.On that day, Toyama Minato just arranged a spell traction device for one of the strongholds (this thing will be as important as tap water supply in the future 15 years later), and then left to help transport daily necessities, and received this stronghold not long after leaving News that was destroyed in a sea of ​​​​flames.

Almost everyone present was spared.

Only one person who was far away from the fire escaped and passed on precious information to everyone.The person who set the fire had half-length hair, a ball head, narrow eyes, Buddha ears, strange bangs, and a suture mark on his forehead.

Toyama Minato: "..."

It's really not hard not to doubt, except that the other party didn't know how to hurt his forehead, this description is really targeted.

Even Xia Youjie himself had to admit that as long as he knew his appearance, he would know who it was describing.

"But it's also possible that it was framed?"

Makise Kurisu asked: "Is it not safe to judge simply from a person's confession?"

"...Father said the same thing at the time, but it was because of the magic power collection device installed in that base."

Awanyin Suzuha said: "Because it is a precious new device in the testing stage, in order to prevent it from being damaged or stolen, we installed a camera nearby at that time."

Although the high temperature destroyed the camera equipment, the familiar figure can still be seen from the barely recovered memory.

—that is an ironclad proof that no one can argue with.

Xia Youjie's complexion was not very good.

And of course – anyone accused of nearly killing their lover is unlikely to look kindly, even if the accusation takes place in the distant future.

He really wanted to appeal, of course he would not attack Senior Yuan Shan, but that future is 15 years away from the present, which is almost as long as his own life with memories. Under this premise, no one can guarantee What kind of changes will occur in the past 15 years has influenced his decision.

"I mean...have we entered a misunderstanding?"

Yuan Shan glanced at Xia Youjie, and patted him on the back reassuringly: "Whether I was almost assassinated 15 years later, it has nothing to do with today's arson case, right? The only clue is arson The fact that the form is close and that there is no trace of magic power left... I would have installed a surveillance camera near my home if I knew it."

At first, the main thought that the attack of the curse spirit on the ordinary camera would not leave any results, but the enemy with an unknown political system did the opposite and simply used physical means to attack.

"That's right, and the crucial point is that the assassination method is exactly the same as Xia Youjie 15 years later."

Rintaro Okabe looked at the small bottle of napalm that was rescued: "It's a pity that there is no evidence like this left in the future, otherwise we can compare the detailed results."

"Is there a possibility that this kind of thing is easy to buy?"

Awanyin Suzuha, who is not well understood in this peaceful era, questioned: "For example, C4 explosives are everywhere in comics."

"That's unlikely, given that hazardous chemicals are strictly regulated, let alone in such large quantities."

Makise Red Lisu retorted: "In the last century, the international community has strictly prohibited the use of similar chemical combustion agents in wars."

The situation is deadlocked.

Five people sat around the table, and Mayuri Shiina poured each of them a cup of tea.

"In short, first analyze the existing information, and deduce some possibilities from each piece of information, and then connect these possibilities in a reasonable way-the human brain is also a neural network, and it also has advantages over computers. "

In the end, Yuanshan Minato made a decision: "Besides, we still have experience and intelligence of fighting in other world lines, maybe we can deduce something valuable."

The first point, after 2018, Xia Youjie destroyed the future.

This established reality has not changed because of the changes in the situation in Yaba Village, nor has it changed because Riko and Hui Yuanxiong are alive.According to Rintaro Okabe’s ReadingSteiner, the sending of these text messages did cause the world line to jump, but it was just a small change under a large tributary, which was the same as the previous "turning Luca from a boy to a girl" That level of change is about the same (everyone has complained about it, which is already an exaggeration), and it doesn't have much push for the direction of the world itself.

"Maybe it's because the really critical time has not yet arrived?"

Awanyin Suzuha guessed: "After all, that will be ten years later."

"So you guys broke up in the future?"

Hashida asked.

"...Break up won't destroy the world."

"And I can't think of any reason why we must break up."

Everyone felt that this inference was not logical.

The second doubt is the combustion agent.Napalm is a combustible material that is not expensive but not easy to obtain. At least based on their current understanding of Xia Youjie, a liberal arts student, neither the chemical level nor the purchasing channels support him to obtain this kind of experiment. Hazardous products prepared in the laboratory.Of course, it is possible for the underworld to obtain similar purchase channels, but at present, he has nothing to do with these contents.

"Can a person change even the way he kills in ten years?"

Rintaro Okabe frowned: "If it's a magic spell, it's much easier to kill a person than set it on fire."

So the future Xia Youjie is a copycat?This is also unreasonable-in the timeline where Awanyin Suzuha is, there is no fire in Minato Toyama's office, but it has been intact until 2018.It wasn't until the fall of Tokyo that their area was designated as a battle royale area, and Toyama Minato and the others left Tokyo in an emergency with a small amount of data.

If this is the case, it is impossible for "Another Xia Youjie" to have a channel for imitation.

At this point in the brainstorming, Yuan Shan drank the tea in front of him in one breath: "That is to say, the several world line jumps we made before...caused the result that the office is now burned down."

D-Mail is the only variable in the process of the world's operation. If we extrapolate from the control variable method, we can only get the above-mentioned answer that sounds a bit bizarre.

"but why?"

Xia Youjie immediately frowned: "Did you offend anyone by what you did senior? - Yes, it's Lizi, maybe it's those bastards from the Panxing Sect..."

It's time to threaten them a little bit, Xia Youjie thought.

Hashida Zhi stretched out four fingers.

"So far, after Okabe arrived at the world line of Steins;Gate, we have interfered in this world a total of four times."

For the first time, everyone knew that they were unfamiliar with conjurers who discovered the secret of the conjurer simply by relying on the power of technology, and judged the information that "there is a curser who wants to destroy the world", and let the bell of the world line Yu passed the information and the magician's forum to the past.

And the result of this time jump is the world line they are in now.

Due to the early establishment of the forum, they were able to learn about the group of conjurers earlier, and also established a deeper relationship with Xia Youjie and Wujo Wu, who are high school students, and the research on magic spirits has also been promoted earlier. But at present, it seems that these measures have not clearly improved the future situation, and the end of the world is still coming as scheduled.

"Assume that the world line where the forum was established for the first time is called line A, and the world after the establishment of the forum is called line B."

Rintaro Okabe stood up suddenly, and wrote the words A and B on the whiteboard with a marker.

Line A and Line B currently seem to point to the ending of "the cursed master destroys the world", but the information on line B is more abundant, allowing them to know who the cursed master who destroyed the world is. Awanine Suzuha of Line B went back to the past with the updated information. After that, due to several D-mails being sent, the world line was changed to Line B1.

In the current B1 line, Minato Toyama's office was attacked in advance, and the data content of the forum was hit unprecedentedly.

"Then here comes the problem."

He clapped his two hands on the table, leaned down and stared at everyone in front of him, with an oppressive expression on his face: "What did NO.12 do during this period, what exactly triggered the mysterious man's attack?"

There are a total of three jumps in the world line, the first time being the Tiannai Riko incident.This incident led to the failure of Master Tianyuan's synchronization, the escape of Xiaolizi to Russia, and the survival of Zenyuan Shier.Among them, if Toyama does not help himself, Riko Tennei will be shot and killed by Zenyuan Shier, which will lead to the failure of Tianyuan's assimilation; Whether he is successfully killed or not, it seems that it is difficult to have any clear impact on the world.

The second time is the mission of Nanami and Huiyuan.Rintaro Okabe, who owns ReadingSteiner, is responsible for the introduction. In the original world line, Haibara Yuu will die in this mission accident. As for what the "accident" will lead to later, he is not very clear—— Basically they jumped the world line immediately after receiving the death notice.

The last time, Yanchang Village.

Toyama Minato looked at Rintaro Okabe.

The other party coughed and touched the bridge of his nose: "I don't know this time, you sent the text message. I was still doing my homework, and suddenly felt the activation of ReadingSteiner, but it seems that the world hasn't noticed any changes."

——As a result, these two people got together within a few days, and he even wondered if the other party used a time machine to cheat on his love process.

But Yuanshan Minato's good popularity and reliable image has finally saved a little bit of this suspicion.

In any case, these three jumps are necessary, and it seems that nothing earth-shattering has happened——Huiyuan is a magician without foundation, and they will not be renewed no matter whether they use their hands or not. According to Xia Youjie's current information, Lord Tian Yuan's situation is currently very stable, so the possibility of deliberate revenge from the magic world can basically be ruled out.

"Then there is only one truth!"

Okabe slapped the table and said loudly.

Everyone looked at him.

"There are observers in this world."

"There are other observers besides us," he said.
