The Moment the Text Message Was Sent / I Really Don't Want to Get Involved

I only watched it to find out what exactly happened and where the problem was, and then I told her that Fantasy Beast was approaching the nuclear reactor? Is this Future Diary even usable anymore?

"We can only continue to prevent the target from getting closer."

He turned to Railgun and said something, only to find that she was stunned.

"Kurotama, is this also one of your clones?"

"Yes, let's continue anyway. I'm not a Combat Type clone."

Yuno Gasai is really unable to fight right now, so Rikku should try out different abilities more.

As it turns out, even physically resisting is useless; the Fantasy Beast can even force its way through you.

Although the attacker will cry out in pain when attacked, this will not stop the other party from approaching the danger zone.

Moreover, the increasing number of tentacles and the growing size of the creatures made it increasingly difficult for the two of them to deal with it.

On the other side, they rushed to the Security Team's car and tried to piece together the music extracted from the chip, only to be told by the system that the file was corrupted—completely unrecoverable.

"What can we do? What else can we do?" Chuharu asked Yukino anxiously.

"What else can we do? Let's find Kiyama Harumi and see if she can restore the music." Yukino sighed.

"It's no use looking for her. She said this is her last hope, which means all the obstacles have been placed on me. Waaaaah!" Chuharu burst into tears after saying this.

"..."

If this Fantasy Beast isn't dealt with, and it leads to a nuclear device leak, it could cause widespread devastation.

Environmental damage is a minor issue, but if a place like Academy City is polluted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Send it to the specialists first. We should try to fight for it even if there is only a sliver of hope. Also, go find Kiyama Harumi immediately. Even if we have to re-examine it, we must restore the treatment plan."

As it turns out, this idea was wishful thinking.

Just as quantum cryptography cannot be deciphered once lost, the Fantasy Beast network treatment plan cannot be resolved once it is compromised.

Rikku might have a way, but it's hard to say when she'll be able to imagine and synthesize the music that provides a concrete solution.

Sometimes it's easy to imagine the answer, but when you know nothing about it, the result you come up with will be worlds apart from what is actually needed.

Three minutes later...

The Future Diary, which specifies a certain time, immediately jumps to new content.

"Ten minutes later, the Fantasy Beast broke through the reactor's protective shield, and a nuclear leak occurred."

"Damn it, can you please stop writing this diary? Tell me why, how am I supposed to find a solution like this?"

It's like knowing the end of the world is coming but being powerless to stop it.

Kurotama doesn't know what to do for the time being.

At this point, mere combat power seemed to be of little use, and the Fantasy Beast even began to split and regenerate.

"If the radiation breach reaches the reactor, you'll have to evacuate too. After all, radiation is no joke," Kurotama reminded Railgun. "You don't want to die in agony, do you?"

"So what about you? Why did you stay?" Railgun frowned.

"Well, the clone's summoning resets it to its best state every other day. Even if it dies from nuclear radiation, it's not a big problem."

Kurotama shrugged.

Knowing what nuclear radiation is, Rikku can also create protective suits on the spot.

But creating this ability is as dangerous as Time Machine, and it's unknown what the consequences would be if Aleister found out.

In situations where everything is certain, it's best to avoid doing certain things if possible.

Minutes later, the Fantasy Beast irreversibly approached its target. With its growing strength, it was now able to break through the thick concrete walls and begin its advance toward the core of the reactor.

Disaster was inevitable.

Chapter 214 The Moment the Text Message Was Pressed

[PS: If you encounter any chapter errors, please refresh the page after a few minutes.]

"What happened? What kind of monster was that?"

As the violent collision occurred, the staff in the nuclear reactor area rushed out, only to be met by the enormous body of the Fantasy Beast.

This monster isn't strong yet, but you can clearly feel its power increasing.

However, no matter how strong you become, as long as you can defeat it, it's not a big problem. What's terrifying about this monster is its near-immortality; it can regenerate at any time.

Surely the monster won't disappear until 10,000 people on the internet disappear, right?

"Why does it feel like this thing is actively approaching the nuclear power plant?"

Kurotama had this thought in her mind: it's not that someone in the academy's higher-ups deliberately orchestrated this.

In other words, if no treatment procedure was used, this would inevitably have caused a nuclear reactor explosion and leak.

"You should leave now. If you can't stop the outcome, there's no point in you staying. We need to find the right solutions, such as restoring the therapeutic music, evacuating the public, and dealing with the pollution."

Yuno Gasai's words prompted Misaka Mikoto to make a decision. She left behind a worried promise and departed immediately.

Security personnel also began organizing evacuations and reporting the situation.

In fact, Kurotama had also wondered if her arrival at the scene was what caused the situation to worsen.

But upon careful recollection of what happened after arriving in this world, it's possible that the variables already existed from the moment I transmigrated into the world of A Certain Scientific Railgun.

Or simply, this world doesn't completely follow the original storyline of A Certain Scientific Railgun.

"We have to stop that guy. This is a reactor, and it just underwent a fission."

The staff member shouted anxiously when he saw two security guards rushing towards him.

One of them rushed into the warehouse, seemingly to retrieve some security uniforms.

The situation is really bad.

All of Takanashi Rikka's abilities had little effect on the target; this was the first time she had encountered such an opponent.

Boom!

As the target entered the interior of the cement warehouse, a violent explosion suddenly rang out.

Although it wasn't particularly strong, its sheer power still startled Kurotama.

"It exploded?"

As Kurotama asked the question, the staff inside shouted, "Damn it, the reactor is leaking! It's full of fire! Quickly contact others to put out the fire and prevent more reaction areas from exploding!"

This meant that the security personnel who rushed up were directly exposed to an area with severely excessive radiation levels.

This is tantamount to throwing away one's own life.

Rikku could create protective suits, but there simply wasn't enough time to put them on these people. It's fair to say that the situation has already deteriorated to its worst possible extent.

"I have a feeling there's some ulterior motive behind it."

The rest can only be handled by professionals, and the situation is becoming increasingly complicated.

As their size increases, the Fantasy Beast become increasingly difficult to withstand.

After crossing the reactor, the monster, carrying contamination, actually moved towards the densely populated urban area.

"Isn't Aleister reacting at all?"

If we're talking about who was the first to know about this place, it was probably him.

Perhaps all of this is under someone else's control.

"I'm sorry, but we can't solve this with just fighting. We've already contacted a doctor for you. Let's go to the hospital for the necessary examinations."

The bespectacled security guard girl spoke to Kurotama, though Kurotama had long forgotten her name. After all, it had been a long time since she finished watching the first season of A Certain Scientific Railgun, and only a few characters remained in her memory.

Kurotama shook his head. "It's alright. My clone ability can provide some immunity to this state. But you should hurry up and get away from the contaminated area."

It's completely unclear how much has leaked here. Nuclear radiation is invisible and intangible, yet it can lead to death in the blink of an eye. If someone were to fall into such an environment, they would truly have no choice but to wait in despair for death.

Whether it's psychological or not, Kurotama already feels uncomfortable.

Of course, even if she were exposed to a polluted environment, with her abilities, she shouldn't have run into problems so quickly.

"Sigh, I should be more worried about others."

The person in question is definitely fine, but these Security Team are really risking their lives.

Staying in such a place is like sentencing yourself to death, and a very, very tragic one at that.

"System, many innocent people die every moment in Academy City, right? Let's not talk about those we can't see. The impact of this disaster is probably quite significant. I wonder what benefits it will bring to the higher-ups. But after thinking about it, I think it's better for Kurisu Makise to use the Time Machine."

[As things stand, Time Machine cannot be built yet, but we can send text messages to our past selves to foresee disasters and take preventative measures, or attempt to jump between consciousness.]

The so-called leap of consciousness refers to the situation in "Steins;Gate" where Rintaro Okabe, wearing a tool, sends his consciousness to the past.

However, such behavior could easily lead to leaps in Worldline.

Even if the Worldline of A Certain Scientific Railgun isn't as dangerous Steins;Gate, it's not something you can mess around with recklessly.

"Judging from the original plot, the Imaginary Hand incident itself is not particularly important. I think it shouldn't be a big problem to specifically change the outcome of this incident."

All we need to do is ensure that Chuharu preserves the chips; nothing else is required.

"Then let's go back and deal with it."

This incident had a huge impact and had endangered too many lives, making Misaka Mikoto far more distressed than she had imagined.

Rather than blaming Yukino for failing to protect her, she was more upset about the way she had led the trouble.

There was no conversation. After returning to the dormitory, Makise, who had been fiddling with the Phone Microwave, had almost finished adjusting the settings.

To be on the safe side, the first thing to do is send future text messages that will have the least impact.

In other words, it's about editing the outcome of this process and telling your past self about it.

In the world of A Certain Scientific Railgun, the Phone Microwave can ultimately send text messages up to 72 hours in advance, and the number of characters that can be edited is much longer than in Steins;Gate.

"Then, let's send this message: Two days later, the Imaginary Hand incident will occur. Chuharu, who is carrying a chip, will be attacked by Fantasy Beast, causing the chip to shatter and become unable to play data programs. The out-of-control beast will destroy the nuclear reactor."

I can't post any more words. Kurotama believe that if my past self saw this message, she would have made the right choice.

The next instant, she pressed the send button.

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over her, and in the next instant, she found herself leaning against the sofa.

Standing next to her are Yuno and Sister Doma.

Sister Doma was covered in blood, and Yuno held a knife that had pierced her chest.

You can feel a deep heartache emanating from Yuno.

Su Lin was dumbfounded.

What happened?

Yuno... killed her own clone?

If it's the same consciousness, wouldn't that mean... I'm killing myself?

Chapter 215 I really don't want to get involved

He quickly drew his sword, canceled the Sister Doma, and then made Yuno sit down next to him.

He was certain that his control over his clone was absolute, meaning that if Yuno killed Sister Doma, then the decision to do so would definitely rest with her.

So, Yuno's jealousy has gotten so bad that she's even targeting herself?

He quickly took out his phone and found a text message he had sent 72 hours earlier.

Judging from the dizziness experienced earlier, the Worldline changed the instant the text message was sent, meaning that... the content of the message successfully affected his past self.

However, he keenly noticed a loophole.

That is, whether it is the present self or Rintaro Okabe in Steins;Gate; Gate, after changing the past, they directly saw the result and had no memory of the process in between.

For example, when Su Lin sent a message three days ago, the Worldline jumped in an instant. Over the past three days, other people's memories and states have changed, and their behavior has also changed. However, he himself could not remember what happened during those three days.

"I don't know the specifics. What happened in those three days?"

When I turned on my phone, there were no messages, but there were call logs with Misaka Mikoto and others.

Kurotama hesitated for a moment before making the call.
