Chapter 545: Not an Illusion
Chapter 545: Not an Illusion
The moment she felt the sound of superconducting glass shattering suddenly next to her, this was the only thought on Makise Kurisu's mind. She was only three steps away from the quantum communication microwave oven, which seemed to be within reach, but she knew that once she was hit by the energy beam, she would not be able to move forward even half a step.
Why in such a high-risk mission, the opponent was equipped with a dimensional wave pistol? Could it be that SERN already had such a terrifying control in this era? She was filled with resentment.
The moment the window broke, time around her seemed to have stopped at superluminal speed. Even with her peripheral vision, she could clearly see a thin beam of energy shooting out from the broken superconducting glass and heading straight for her brain.
Hehe... She had overestimated her situation after all. She had thought that because of her identity as a genius physicist and her achievement in improving the space-time jump device, SERN would not kill her. Even if her action plan was exposed, as long as it was not fatal, she was confident that she could rely on her tenacious will to support herself to the microwave oven and start it. Afterwards, she only needed to wear the neural interface headset connected to the quantum memory transmission device to evacuate safely.
However, at this moment, death was approaching so easily. At this moment, she seemed calm. Kongbai had mentioned in a certain world line that she had died in the original world line. So in this world line, she could still live for a few more days, which might be an extra gift from fate.
The words that Kong Bai once said echoed in her ears: "In the previous world line, assistant, you fell in love with me!" The voice now echoed repeatedly in her mind like an auditory hallucination.
I really envy myself in that world, at least she had tasted the taste of love before me. She...
"I really... don't want to die..."
The energy beam was approaching her eyes through the broken superconducting glass, and her head was only tilted less than 15 degrees. However, it was this subtle rotation that made the energy beam focus on her deep blue pupils.
The distance between the spherical energy beam and the focus is constantly shortening, and it seems that a violent energy explosion will be triggered in the next second!
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind her.
"destiny?"
Blank's voice calmed her chaotic mood at this critical moment. If this was the choice of Steins;Gate, then she had no choice but to respond - to hell with it!
However, just when the energy beam was only a thin atomic film away from her eyes, something strange happened - a blazing red quantum flame burst out from the brass-colored energy beam!
Makise Kurisu stared wide-eyed and dared not blink. In her sight, it was as if the sky fire from another dimension descended. In the red quantum flame, the energy beam melted quickly like ice, but no liquid dripped, as if it evaporated directly in the air.
The sharp energy beam that nearly penetrated her head disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye along with the strange flame, leaving behind only a few weak energy particles that could not feel the slightest heat and gradually dissipated in the air.
What exactly happened just now? What was that sudden flame? Why did the energy beam "evaporate" in front of her eyes in an instant? And why didn't she die, or even be injured at all? Was this an illusion, or an illusion in a near-death experience?
Even someone as intelligent as Makise Kurisu couldn't find the answer with her rapidly running mind at this moment.
"What on earth just happened!?"
At this moment, someone shouted in shock on her behalf. It was the man holding the Dimensional Wave Pistol who had maintained order after Kiryu Moeka arrived at the scene. Even at this moment, he had a look of collapse on his face, staring blankly in her direction.
Indeed, such a scene was too unrealistic. The Dimensional Wave Pistol shooter who was waiting outside for the opportunity to launch an attack should have accurately hit Makise Kurisu. However, at the last moment, such an incredible phenomenon occurred.
If advanced physics education had not been popularized in this era, I'm afraid these people would have immediately regarded it as a miracle and kneeled down in fear to beg for forgiveness. But now, they also couldn't explain the scientific principles behind the scene just now.
After that shot, there was no sound outside. Obviously, the Dimension Wave Pistol shooter outside was also shocked by the scene before his eyes. After all, with the power of the Dimension Wave Pistol, even if there was an unknown force blocking the energy beam, there should be a huge impact force left. However, the energy beam just now seemed to stop abruptly in the air, and then its surface suddenly burned. In a short moment, it was completely evaporated by the mysterious flame, leaving no trace of debris, as if it had never existed.
However, the broken superconducting glass fragments scattered everywhere ruthlessly proved that all this was not an illusion. The windows were broken...
