It seems Suzuha is truly bored, she even believes the things Okabe says.
I'm laughing, Okabe Rintaro only found out today that the Organization secretly manipulating the world is SERN.
I told you, shouting so loudly in public would definitely cause trouble!
What about the one who just said no one could hear?
"Beep, beep, beep…"
Suddenly, a vibrating sound came from Okabe Rintaro's body.
"Again?" he said, pulling out his phone.
"What? Is it a death notice?" Seeing this, Suzuha asked, leaning closer.
"Death notice?" Okabe Rintaro was a bit confused.
"Ah, no." Suzuha gave a wry smile: "Just kidding, kidding."
Seeing her explanation, Okabe Rintaro didn't pay it any mind and casually explained the situation:
"There's a woman who's obsessed with an old computer called the IBN5100."
"IBN?" Suzuha leaned forward, trying to see the content on Okabe Rintaro's phone screen.
Okabe Rintaro suddenly seemed to realize something and abruptly questioned:
"You know about this too?!"
Amane Suzuha took a step back, a slightly awkward expression appearing on her face. Her pupils constricted slightly, her lips parted slightly, and she nodded gently, then turned her head: "Ah, mm."
"Was this also overheard?" he asked.
Hearing this, Amane Suzuha waved her hands repeatedly in denial: "No, no, I saw this online."
"You see, isn't there a person named John Titor who claims to be a Time Traveler?"
"Titor?!" Okabe Rintaro quickly caught the keyword.
"It seems it's written on @channel." Amane Suzuha said: "Because the IBN5100 was built before the BASIC language appeared."
"So it can interpret IBN's unique programming language or something…"
"Really?!" Okabe Rintaro suddenly grabbed Suzuha's shoulders and pressed for an answer.
Startled, she showed a subtle expression. Perhaps because of the close distance, or for some other reason, Suzuha didn't meet Okabe's gaze and nodded gently: "Mm."
Then, Okabe Rintaro remembered crucial information again: "Speaking of which, Titor, who appeared in 2000, also said…"
Muttering to himself, Okabe Rintaro suddenly turned around, his white coat rustling. He quickly climbed up to the Laboratory upstairs with an inelegant posture.
Why is it a death notice?
I told you, if you don't reply, you'll keep getting harassed. Be careful, you might get killed offline!
'You know about this too?!'
Okabe Rintaro will probably think about whether Suzuha is secretly listening downstairs every time he speaks loudly from now on.
Okabe really cares about Titor.
Of course, he had collected a lot of books related to Titor before—though they're all gone now.
[Unnamed Prophet: The world is in trouble because the udon is too hard.]
[Kurigohan and Kamehameha: In the end, neither of them explained it clearly, although they tried hard to make it seem plausible, this level won't fool anyone.]
With the information text appearing again, scrolling continuously, and facing numerous refutations and doubts, Titor's voice also began to sound.
"Everyone, it seems your understanding of the concept of Time is bound by fixed ideas."
"Time is not a single river flowing from the past to the future."
The animation that previously explained the worldline theory reappeared on the screen.
"For example, suppose I go back to the past and kill person A."
"Then, the value called 'World Variation Rate' will change."
"The worldline will move in a direction where person A does not exist."
"When the worldline moves, people's memories will be reconstructed."
"That is to say, memories of the previous worldline where person A existed will be deleted."
"The reconstructed memories will be of the worldline where person A does not exist."
Titor's explanation was quickly refuted.
The sound of questioning quickly echoed, and Kurigohan and Kamehameha again raised their questioning voice: "But I asked you, when did SERN, as a research Organization, become the ruling institution that dominates the world?"
"Don't easily believe SERN. They have successfully created micro black holes," Titor explained.
[Unnamed Prophet: Is that result Despair Land?]
"Despair Land means the revival of communism and living standards regressing to the 18th century, is that easier to understand?" Titor continued to explain:
"In 2036, SERN controls most of Science and technology."
Most people seemed to treat Titor's words as a joke, casually asking about the future, hoping to buy lottery tickets with the Time Traveler's 'insider information'.
Suddenly, Okabe Rintaro's voice, under the username 'Hououin Kyouma', spoke up.
"Are you saying that the IBN5100 is necessary to change that future?"
"That's right," Titor said: "To overturn SERN's intentions, the functions of the IBN5100 must be used."
[Hououin Kyouma: John Titor, who appeared in 2000, seemed to say the same thing.]
"Me, who appeared ten years ago? As I said before, unfortunately, I have not been to 2000." Titor again denied Hououin Kyouma's words but then offered another possibility: "However, you might have seen me on another worldline."
"Very interesting, I'd like to have a good chat with you."
"This is my text message address; if you contact me, I will reply to you."
As his voice fell, the 'Internet' animation suddenly returned to reality. Okabe Rintaro held his phone, and on it was the first text message from 'John Titor'.
'2015, World War III breaks out'
'2036, Earth is polluted due to nuclear war'
'Time Travel from 2036 to 1975 is to obtain the IBN5100,'
'The IBN5100 has hidden functions'
'Only a portion of IBN's technical staff knows this'
Going upstairs just to post online, huh?
So the possibility that Tonz previously denied is now possible again, right? After all, the mastermind originally seemed to be SERN, so it's not impossible for their official announcements to be fake.
In other words, in the original worldline, Makise Kurisu did die, but by changing this through the Time Machine, the worldline moved in the direction where Makise Kurisu did not die. Everyone forgot she had died, but only Okabe Rintaro remembered.
What kind of chosen one? Everyone's memories will be reconstructed, but my memories remain unchanged forever.
The reconstructed worldline is where Makise Kurisu is resurrected, daze!
Okabe's ID, isn't it the same as using his real name online?
I think he'll definitely be recognized later.
wwwwww, main quest entered, get the IBN5100!
