Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

Manipulating this way of turning humans into robots made Makase Kurisu feel a chill behind her back.

"I'm afraid you have misunderstood something, this is not brainwashing, but rooting them in "obedience". "Rope said: "You can also see that their intelligence and thinking logic have not been damaged, and they can be competent for research work.It is convenient for you and me that they can obey unconditionally. "

"...I don't quite agree."

"Well, humanitarianism. Oh, humanitarianism..."

Rope repeated the words in the mouths of the girls on both sides, with a sarcastic chuckle at the corners of his mouth.

"Hong Lixi, if there are no humans on this planet, then everything you say will not be true. Is it possible that you still think that the goal I have spent so much effort on is an unrealistic lie?"

Makase Kurisu was choked for a moment, and then the girl shook her head sadly.

"Mr. Rope, I don't understand anything now. The SCP Foundation, anomalous creatures, anomalous events, you and your saving the world, whichever is too far away from me. Less than a month ago, I still Expecting to graduate with honors from Kondoria University, making father and mother proud, and now..."

"I'm sorry to drag you into this vortex, but only you can save the world. Believe in yourself, Kurisu."

"Ugh……"

The girl sighed, her shoulders drooping weakly.

"Okay, I understand. You don't need to enlighten me anymore, the pressure is about to overflow... I will work hard with those poor people."

She put the documents on Rope's desk.

"The time machine is your proposal. You also said that fantasy technology should start from fantasy, so please give me a start - the manufacture of the time machine, I can't even start it without a clue."

"The starting point has already been paved for you."

Rope laughed.

"You must know that the Institute of Particle Physics "SERN" has carried out "time travel" experiments a long time ago. "

"Well...I heard about it." Hong Lixi nodded: "But it is precisely because of this incident that it has proved to the outside world that "time travel" is impossible? "

"You made a mistake, Kurisu. The "time travel" of "SERN" is not a failure, but a half-successful stage.They successfully sent humans to the past. Although the experimental body could not withstand the excessive compression of space and became transparent green gel, the staged victory was undeniable. "

Whether it's the original work of "Stone Gate" or the current diseased world, the "SERN" behind the scenes exists.

But because of the existence of such a behemoth as the SCP Foundation, the existence of "SERN" is not as powerful as in the original book.

With the principle that big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp, their "time travel experiment" was targeted by the SCP Foundation as soon as it was leaked. After the investigation was confirmed, this organization that does not reject violence immediately gave "SERN" Here comes a cleanup package.Field agents, task forces, obliterate the personnel directly responsible, and collect and seal information related to the time machine.A set of "SERN" with a combined punch doesn't even have slag left.

Up to now, according to the original story, "SERN", which is so powerful, is already a normal research institute.

Kind of sad.

"This..." Makase Kurisu was stunned.

She suddenly discovered that the secrets behind the world were unimaginable. Even research institutes like "SERN" that often appeared in the public eye had done taboo research on time travel. What else could happen?

"So, the confiscated information of "SERN" will be sent to you soon. "

Rope crossed his hands, his smile deepened.

"With these things and the help of my non-technical powers, Hong Lixi will be able to easily start manufacturing, right? Quietly prepare for the start."

"You actually did this..."

"No way, who made us run out of time. There are less than two years left until the world is destroyed."

Rope shrugged, tossing the overly formal topic aside.

"Kurisu, is it a habit to live in Tokyo?" Rope asked.

"Well, after all, I lived here when I was a child, does it feel like returning to my homeland? The changes are really big. Last night, I planned to walk while the time was still early. It's almost changed..."

After getting along for so long, Makase Kurisu was used to Rope calling her by her first name.

"So are you interested in going on a date with me?"

"Okay...Wait! Wait!"

The girl suddenly reacted to what Rope said, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she waved her hands in a panic.

"What are you talking about!? No, no, no! How can it be so fast, Mr. Rope, we've only known each other for less than a month, dating or something... Weren't we just talking about time machines? How do we get around this? The topic is up!"

How to do?How to do?Is Mr. Rope interested in himself? ...Well, it's too sudden!At least, at least wait a little longer to get along with each other...

Makase Kurisu secretly looked at Luo Pei, the black-haired and blue-eyed handsome appearance made her unbearable for a while.

Biting the tip of her tongue, the girl was forcibly released from her charmed state, barely remaining awake.

"You don't have to react so much, right? I just heard you say that you want to find a familiar place in Tokyo, and it happens that I am also bored. I don't think it's safe for a girl to walk alone. I just want to go around with you, and I think it's busy. Relax before work.”

Rope pretended to be hurt, but in fact the malicious expression was almost showing on his face.

After a first-hand test, the retreat is the advance, and this scum has already played the game well.

"Is that so..."

Hearing the black-haired youth explain this, the girl's heart was filled with strange depression.

"Don't you want it?" Rope asked again.

Makase Kurisu hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice.

"...Then, I'll leave it to you."
