Correct use of scientific spells

"Oh! Here you come, number 12!"

Okabe greeted him.

...It seems that he was talking to the door just now, Toyama thought to himself.

It is said to be the "Future Props Research Institute", but in fact it is just a small space leased on the second floor of the electrical appliance store.The specific number of members of the institute has always been a mystery. After all, the founder, Rintaro Okabe, never refused to go to the back row in order. There were several numbers in the middle, but Okabe vowed that the members "are real." .

Those are all the important partners he met in thousands of time travels and crossing the world line, and even in this world line, they will meet again one day.

——Of course, this is what the other party said, and whether the specific reason is true or not is a matter of opinion.

Serial number 001, Rintaro Okabe, the founder and leader of the Future Props Research Institute, is also the one with the highest degree of Chuji in the entire room.Serial number 002, Shiina Mayuri, Okabe's childhood friend, currently studying in high school. 003 Hashida Zhi, a classmate of Tokyo Electric Power University, 004 Hong Liqi, graduated from Victor Condoria University, an out-and-out genius.

So far, the first four numbers are at least living human beings, but since 005, there have been a large number of vacant serial numbers. Before the number 012 of Toyama Minato, there are several positions that have not been claimed.

"This will make me feel isolated..."

"Haha! Are you someone who cares about such details!"

"I don't really care, but do the remaining numbers really belong to someone?"

"It's true, it must be."

Okabe began to repeat his words that others could not understand: "Because all of this is the choice of Steins Gate."

If you have been entangled in these trivial topics, then there is no way to start the real discussion.Toyama Minato ignored these without hesitation, took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, and handed it to Hashida in front of the computer desk: "This is all the data. Since the robot was manufactured, every error report that occurred is recorded in the in."

Others in the Lab have also more or less heard of the "robot haunted" situation on his side. If the image fitted from the last recorded data is too shocking, everyone might attribute it to an ordinary system error.It's a pity that the picture displayed by Tongzi's computer is extremely clear: in the sonar imaging, a piece of "something" appeared out of thin air, rushed towards another, entwined inextricably, and finally both disappeared.

If this is considered a "system error report", then the person who wrote the system is too ingenious.

Hashida Zhi resolutely refused to admit his uncanny workmanship, he said it could not be his fault, it must be the world's problem.

"It might actually be possible to discover a new field because of this."

Everyone gathered around, and Makise Kurisu said with great interest: "First, display the scanning results of each previous error report in the form of an image, and then compare them."

"Procedurally, it's not difficult to achieve, just take the previously edited content and change it."

Hashida said while importing the data into the computer: "But according to Minato, the previous detection results are just ordinary obstacles."

"Anyway, let's check first."

Yuan Shan made a final decision.

There are four places where the accident happened, all of which are on the campus of Dongdian University. They are the open space near the library, the basement floor of the laboratory building, next to the bicycle shed where the test was done last time, and meeting with Xia You under the streetlight.

Apart from the commonality of "they are all at the Senju Campus of Tokyo Electric University", it is difficult to guess what other commonality there is.

"What about the weather?"

Hong Liqi asked: "Maybe this phenomenon only occurs under certain climatic conditions, or there is a certain degree of correlation, just like ball lightning."

"It's always sunny, because there are no waterproof measures, and the robot is released on rainy days for fear of short circuit."

In other words, there is a temporary lack of experimental data on rainy days, which cannot be used as a reference.

Among them, only the last special phenomenon occurred, that is, "ghosts devour each other"-before finalizing what that phenomenon is, everyone temporarily passed Okabe's proposal to call it "ghosts".

How was it different that time?Toyama Minato couldn't help laughing, it couldn't be said that because there were juniors from religious schools by his side, he frightened the evil spirits around him.

He was joking, but Okabe was unwilling to let go of any possible loopholes. He forcibly dragged Ruka Urushihara, who was quietly listening to them, and said, "Although there are no students from the High School of Conjuration, we also have Liu Hua here." "The Priestess of Lin Shrine" can completely reproduce the characters that appeared at that time.

...This idea of ​​controlling variables is very wrong, Hong Lixi complained: "And it is said to be a ghost, but it is actually just some unexplored scientific phenomenon. It is better not to force Luca."

"No...it's okay! If Master needs it, I want to help everyone!"

In the end, Luca said seriously: "Although I'm a little scared...but after all, I'm the son of the head of the shrine! I will work hard!"

Although she is a witch, her gender and status as a half-clergyman unexpectedly match up.

There are still spare parts for the sonar detection device inside the robot, and the camera can be replaced with a dismantled mobile phone. The few people hit it off and decided to use the improvised props to go back to school to catch ghosts.Toyama Minato quickly soldered the wiring, and Okabe assembled the structure during this period of time. Three people and two computers made the crude detection equipment within half an hour.

Okabe even soldered the camera to the coil with tin wire, and made a strange hat on top of his head, which is said to make the captured video more immersive.

Anyway, the installation position of the camera does not affect the result, Hong Liqi chose to turn a blind eye.

The team configuration is also very simple. Toyama Minato, Lisu and Okabe are responsible for looking for ghosts separately, Hashida Zhi stays in the Lab to coordinate and collect information, and Luca travels with them, which is to simulate "there is a priesthood" personnel” on-site environment.

The mobility of the technical geeks is extraordinary, and they arrived at the school by tram 15 minutes later. During this period, Minato Toyama even took time to browse the line and like Wujo Wufa's series of dessert photos one by one.

Although he is a student of a religious school, his personality is not "religious" at all, he thought.

A few seconds later, a message from Xia Youjie was received on the phone: Senior?

"Are you two together?"

Yuan Shan replied: "It was discovered so soon."

"Well...the physical education class just ended, and I'm taking a break now."

Xia Youjie replied: "How is the research of the seniors?"

"Are you talking about a robot competition?"

"It's about the ghost part."

Kotoyama then turned sideways, took a photo of Rintaro Okabe who was wearing a detector and caused passers-by to stare, and sent it: "Now I have to go to the school to check again. In the same situation, you can mark that area and measure it again."

Xia Youjie: ...

He tried his best to ignore the cosplay-like outfit in the photo, and took a deep breath: only in TEPCO, right?

"Well, after all, Tokyo is very big, if you expand the scope rashly, you won't know where to go for a while..."

Seeing the other party's reply, Xia Youjie breathed a sigh of relief under the shade of the tree.Gojo Satoru leaned over to look through his chat records, and laughed when he saw the photo of Okabe: "Haven't they given up on catching the curse spirit? Obviously they can't see it!"

"The problem is that if they continue to search like this, it is really possible to find..."

Most spell spirits have entities, and there is nothing wrong with this detection method in theory, even a liberal arts student like himself can understand the specific principles.

That day, he had already controlled the magic spirit to check the campus of Tokyo Denki University. Except for him and Wu, there was no response to the magic power. Therefore, today's detection by this group of people can only return in vain.It would be best if they gave up because of this, but Xia Youjie vaguely felt that this matter would not stop here abruptly.

"Otherwise, why don't you just tell it? Let them keep the secret from other people in the future."

Gojo Satoru put his hands behind his head: "Anyway, they just want to understand what's going on, and they will be satisfied when they know the answer."

"Absolutely not!"

Xia Youjie stopped the other party immediately: "You are also not allowed to tell Senior Yuan Shan about the curse spirit in private, you must keep it a secret."

"Yeah, got it, Jay is so boring—"

Gojo Satoru stretched his waist and stood up, planning to buy a drink from the vending machine: "What do you want to drink? Coke?"

"Water will do."

Watching the other party walk away, Xia Youjie sat alone under the tree, recalling the perfunctory rhetoric he used to talk to his parents when he was in college.

He saw a "tent" that fell from the sky on the way out of school one day, and after pushing his bicycle over there, he saw the assistant supervisor waiting by the tent, and was recruited into a higher education institution using this opportunity.Ordinary people can't accept that there are monsters invisible to the naked eye, so he only said that he got the opportunity to go to Tokyo to study and get a full scholarship. As for the experience of being almost sent to see a doctor in his childhood, it is not so much now. important.

"The essence of denial is fear, Xia You."

The assistant supervisor I met that day once said: "If ordinary people believe this, the fear of the curse spirit will overwhelm them all at once."

In the dark "tent", the sound of fighting could be faintly heard.

"—Because sometimes even I wonder what kind of magic spirit will be born out of my fear if the magician can't control the magic power freely."

The author has something to say:

In fact, the values ​​​​of high school students are not stable, especially in remote areas (Iwate County, commonly known as Xinjiang in Japan), it is easy to see the world around you.

The stereotype of the Japanese is that this place is full of honest people who admit death. In the original manga, Kanmi Hikari is also from Iwate. The plot of "the honest man breaks the defense" is very obvious.
