"You're here. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Omi turned her gaze, she fiddled with a mobile phone in her hand, but from Madoka's angle, there was nothing on the screen, as if it hadn't been turned on, but Madoka didn't see Omi turn off the phone. Dorothy walked to the side of the sofa and sat down, and her original neat movements became lazy here, and her ice-like expression began to melt, and her whole person seemed to sink into the soft backrest.

"She learned about the time machine." Dorothy said listlessly, and when Madoka looked at her, she only felt as if she had fallen asleep, or rather, as if her whole soul had left, leaving only a shell on the couch. It was a very weird feeling, and it had nothing to do with "sleeping" or anything, which was Madoka's feeling, but she was not in a position to ask what happened to Dorothy. This girl's appearance imitates every move of the final weapon, and she has always been under her gaze, and there is nothing surprising at all, if the other party does not speak, it even makes people think that she is just an ordinary girl with a little beautiful and a little weird personality.

But in reality, Dorothy is not human, and no one in Cyberball will treat her as a normal human girl.

"Oh, that's amazing. The progress of the time machine has not been reported to the fire. Omi stared at Madoka and said, "You're not going to leak it out, are you?" ”

She asked this, which made Madoka suddenly feel that she had come at an inopportune time, although she didn't think that Omi would do things like being sorry for the Internet ball and betraying everyone, but the word "concealment" never made people feel like a compliment emotionally, even if intellectually it was clear that "concealment" was not always a bad or wrong behavior. Madoka couldn't quite understand why Omi had to say it deliberately.

"The time machine is private research, and that was stated when I agreed to work for Cyberball." Omi had an inconsequential expression on his face and said, "It's a deal." Whether they find this research useful or not, it belongs only to me, and has nothing to do with cyberball, so it is better not to make a big deal about it in order to avoid trouble. ”

Hearing Omi say this, Madoka was a little ignorant. By the time she became a magical girl and accepted the jurisdiction of the Cyberball, Omi was already a major figure in the Cyberball. At this time, the other party suddenly drew a clear line with the net ball, and it was when this kind of fire burned the eyebrows, which made Madoka incomprehensible. The more difficult the situation, the better it is to help each other, isn't it? But it sounds like Omi doesn't intend to put the time machine to public use—even if it sounds so powerful, so mysterious, and full of the power to turn things around in one fell swoop.

"Cyberball was the first to support me in researching time machines, so I did research for them." Omi continued: "You can understand it this way, I'm not a cyberball person, I'm just working for them temporarily as a lone wanderer. ”

"But, but ......" Madoka still felt that there was something wrong, and besides, she hadn't heard of it before, why did Omi talk about it when they met this time? The unusualness of it gave Madoka a subtle premonition, as if the other party would do something big that would make people lose their glasses. Madoka is afraid that there will be civil unrest in the net ball because of this, and in the current cruel and tense situation, she really has no room to play this kind of thing about the fire inside the wall.

"As long as you don't say it, nothing will happen." Omi's smile made Madoka feel a little cunning, as if she was waiting for her to tell the story, and then detonate a series of headaches.

"I ...... I...... I see, I'm not going to say anything. Madoka still gave up trying to correct the other party's attitude, she couldn't help but expect Omi to be joking, but the voice in her heart was telling her that what she was afraid of was not exactly a joke, but that it could happen.

"So, Kewpie, how do you know?" Omi's gaze fell on Koroku's shoulders, and the cold and stiff eyes of the cat-like and rabbit-like Kewpie, who did not have the slightest emotional warmth because of the "smiling" expression, blinked slightly.

"After all, this repeater was built from my old nest, and it's not that easy to hide it." Kewpie said in a natural tone, but this reminded everyone of its origin: no one can confirm its origin, but it is known that it is a product of the night of the London Valpurgis, that is, the predecessor of the London repeater, and from the feeling of being with it, it seems that it can more or less represent the night of the London Valpurgis.

The night of Valpurgis is a special temporary data hedge space for consciousness, although this expression of consciousness is less human and often less vivid and direct. Kewpie has a lot to do with the night of the London Valpjis, and it would not be abrupt to say that the consciousness activities of the Kewpie reflected the consciousness activities of the night of the London Valpurgis.

Even if it becomes a repeater, Kewpie also occupies a certain proportion of the things that make up the authority of the repeater, which is not so incomprehensible. On the contrary, it is a bit logical to understand the mystery of the magical girl from this perspective and pursue the magical girl crusade to be included in the control of the cyberball.

Kewpie, it is the connection point between Valpurgis Night, the Repeater, the Magical Girl and the Cyberball, and even Madoka can understand how crucial its existence is.

"Hmm...... I guess it's a reason, although I don't think it's a real reason. Omi rubbed his chin, looked away from Kewpie, and fell back on Madoka, "So, Madoka, do you have any thoughts about a time machine?" Whatever you have in mind, please understand that the time machine is my personal thing. ”

"Ah, well, yes-" Madoka came back to her senses, slightly annoyed, frowned and said, "I heard from Cuppy that a time machine can change the world back to its original state, right?" ”

"The way it was? What is the original appearance? Omi didn't refute, just asked.

"That's it, it's ......" Madoka organized her thoughts and said, "Go back to the world before the war, where everyone could live peacefully." ”

"How can you be sure that the world was peaceful before the war?" Omi said flatly: "The current war is not sudden, its causes have been planted long before the first two world wars, conflicts and deaths have always existed, and it is only after accumulation that the current third world war has been detonated." You've studied history and should be able to understand why World War II broke out just a few years after World War I. ”

"Because the contradiction has not been completely resolved." That's what Madoka said in her history class.

"The contradiction between Doomsday Shinrikyo and this world has arisen since the existence of Doomsday Truth, and it has never been properly resolved, nor will it be truly effectively resolved." Omi said, "This is not a contradiction between people or between countries, but a contradiction between the ideal of seeking the end of the world and the objective fact that the world already exists, the desire to survive, and the objective fact that the world has been dying since its birth." This contradiction has never been eliminated, nor will it cease to exist because of the turn back of time. ”

"However, Kewpie said......" Madoka couldn't help but say it with some difficulty following Omi's explanation, and then was interrupted by Omi.

"What Kewpie said is not the same thing as what you think, it has always been." Omi looked at Madoka calmly and said, "This time machine is not simply going to the time that has passed in this world, but the time before going to this world. Do you know what the world was like before the birth of this world? Can you expect it? In the final analysis, it is precisely because the previous world was destroyed that the current world was born. ”

"What, what?" Madoka was a little dizzy and couldn't keep up with Omi's explanation.

Omi stopped explaining, and the atmosphere in the room cooled down for a while, and Madoka ruminated on those words before she gradually understood: "Isn't our world the only one?" ”

"No, if you want to describe it, it's that the whole world has been reincarnated several times, and our world is the only one, but not the first." Omi said it with great certainty, but this statement made Madoka a little difficult to accept, even if there was a voice in his heart telling him that this was a fact that could be believed.

"Everyone feels that they are unique, that the world they live in is unique, that they have not had before, and that they will not have in the future. In some ways, this is true, but in others, it is not true. Omi said to Madoka: "All in all, if you can understand that this time machine is actually going back to the world before the birth of the current world, it is enough. ”

"Meaning, will the whole world change?" Madoka couldn't imagine what the world was like before the world, and she couldn't even understand what the world had changed like that and what would become of herself and others now, "Are we going to die?" Everybody will? ”

"No, it's just that everyone's life trajectory will be different, and their thoughts and personalities will change, but no one will realize this difference, because there is no comparison at all, and everyone can observe only the immediate self in the moment." Omi's statement made Madoka pull her hair in distress, it was still too difficult to understand, but-

"Can you save the world?" Madoka still remembered why she came here, and she felt that it didn't matter if she didn't understand, if she wanted to save the world, she would definitely pay something. But on the other hand, saving the world is the core, and if the effort can make her wish come true, then she is sure that she can accept it.

"Maybe." Omi didn't give a definite answer, but it made Madoka a little happy, because, before that, there was not even such an ambiguous word as "maybe", but directly gave a cruel "can't do" answer.

"As I said before, when the old world is destroyed, a new world will be born, which means that even if you go back to the old world, you will face the route of the end of the world." Omi's words made Madoka look melancholy again, but her next words made Madoka thoughtful, "However, if you think about it carefully, if the current world is hopeless, then it is also a last resort to try to save the past world." Although the world of the past was also facing the end of the world, we have at least gained time - through the time machine, we can get more time to prepare, and we will not always be so passive, always so caught off guard. That's what a time machine is all about. Of course, it is easy to say, but there are still many unsolved practical problems, and unless you really use the time machine to confirm your own situation after using it, you will not be able to make targeted responses at all. ”

"In other words, it's actually a risky act?" Madoka asked.

"That's right, you're on point, my time machine is different from other so-called time machines, and it's not the same as the Doomsday Shinrikyo repeater changing the worldline. It's a very risky thing to use, no one knows what's going to happen, what the world is going to become, everything is unknown. Omi said cautiously, "It is precisely because it is unknown that it is the most likely, the possibility of a miracle happening." Then, she stared at Madoka and asked, "That's it, Madoka, do you want to try?" ”

"I'm ......" Madoka hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up her mind and said, "If there is no other way, I want to try, and besides, I can only try." Because the time machine is such a thing, so, Ms. Omi, you don't give it to anyone, right? ”

“…… You're so used to prioritizing others as good people. Omi said this, paused, and said, "Although there are many reasons, what you said is indeed one of the reasons. No one knows this time machine better than I do, and only I can really use it, both in terms of use and effectiveness. ”

"Can I help?" Madoka looked at Omi with a longing expression and said, "Kewpie said, I can make a wish." The wish of a magical girl will lead to a miracle. ”

"I don't know, I don't know about magical girls and wishing or anything." Omi said this, glanced at Kewpie, was silent for a moment, and when Madoka was a little uneasy, Dorothy's voice interjected and said, "Isn't it good?" If wishing can really work miracles, then it will increase the effect of the time machine by several percent. ”

Everyone's eyes turned to the direction of the sofa, Dorothy had recovered her spirit for some time, she stared at Madoka and Kewpie with blazing eyes, and said: "In order to ensure the success rate, I have been pulling helpers, no matter what the other party's position is or what their ability is, as long as they can help a little bit, it is on my list: whether it is the physical life, the final weapon of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Cult, or the witch vv of the New Age Gospel, I have already prepared a suitable place for them."
