The Endless Shuttle

"Try to get used to it, Ms. Makise. The SCP Foundation is like this. It may be calm one minute ago, and it will be on full alert a minute later. They transferred you for your safety. After all, those abnormal creatures will not be merciful to her beauty."

"...my office isn't ready yet."

Makise Kurisu lowered her shoulders and sighed.

"On the second day after joining the company, I walked through the rainstorm for an hour, and then spent the night as a deaf-mute in a room on the seventeenth floor of the basement. I regretted accepting the invitation of the man in the suit..."

"I'll always get used to it."

It was working hours, Makise Kurisu straightened her expression, pulled out a copy of the information in her hand, and asked Luo Pei.

"Are you planning to start self-study today? Well...with all due respect, Mr. Rope, I...well, I am still in a state of confusion about your identity and abilities...so if you want to start the test immediately, you can only The basic routine test will come, if you are not satisfied, please give me a little more time, I will sort out a new plan..."

——Throw aside the three views of normal people.  …

This is Makise Kurisu's view of her new job in the future when she was free last night, and she is trying hard now.

"Well." Luo Pei smiled and waved his hand.

"You just need to know the avatar of my "abnormal person". It's not good to be too cautious. I really look forward to becoming Hong Liqi's friend. "

"Red, Kurisu!?"

"What's wrong?"

"...No, as long as you are happy."

The girl didn't expect that Luo Pei would suddenly start calling her by his first name, and the gesture of gently saying her name with that handsome face made her blush.

A sixteen-year-old girl is at the time when her youth is overflowing, even if Makise Kurisu has a genius-like brain.

"Then I'll make a long story short."

Luo Pei took a deep breath, and stared at the assistant with serious and serious eyes.

"Calling Hongli to come here today is not for that dispensable research. Regarding the time machine, I need to tell you clearly that the time machine is not a fantasy, it exists here, in this world!"

"……ah?"

The turn of the topic made the girl stunned for a moment, and then the instinct of the scientific researcher came into play, Makise Kurisu immediately retorted.

"However, just like when you first chatted with me, how could things that are not even valid for utopian arguments be produced in reality..."

"Hongliqi, can you explain me with science when you saw me yesterday?"

"..."

Luo Pei's question overwhelmed Makise Kurisu.

Calling the storm, dancing thunder and rain like ribbons, no matter how you think about it, it has nothing to do with modern science, it is an abnormal ability that only exists in mythology.

——This is the SCP Foundation, the vanguard of the anomalous side of the world.

Makise Kurisu reminded herself again.

"Why do you keep holding on to the time machine?" the girl asked.

"Because I need it." Rope said: "I need a time machine more than anyone else, not because there are regrets in the past, I need it to save the future."

His trial is to save the future world.

But the enemy is in the past in 1913.

"...Sorry, I can't understand you."

Makise Kurisu covered her head, the huge amount of information finally overwhelmed the girl and made her give up thinking.

"Of course, I don't expect Hong Liqi, who has lived for sixteen years in normal time, to understand me instantly. We have a long time, so don't worry."

Luo Pei stood up, walked in front of the girl, and looked down at the brown-red haired Makise Kurisu by virtue of her height.

"Give up the inherent concepts in your mind, give up the long materialistic education, even if everything is based on the most illusory fantasy. I only have one question, Hong Liqi, are you willing to create a time machine, willing to... come with me Do miracles?"

To test the right track of the goal, Rope has a showdown with the mother of the time machine.

Chapter 49 Telling Old Stories

Generally, questions with ellipses are very in-depth, just like the phrase "Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to really...live?", which is still talked about by people today. Makise Kurisu inevitably fell into the mused.

However, instead of thinking about the possibility of Luo Pei's words, she was curious about when the topic started to go astray?

— Let’s start from the beginning.

The young man in front of him mentioned the time machine with great interest from the very first meeting, and after that he kept talking about the time machine, which made Makise Kurisu, who had planned to forget about this matter, reawaken the long-standing memory —unpleasant memories of a break with her father.

Then again, it is said that it is something based on fantasy, just ask me if I would like to make it... Makise Kurisu is in a dilemma and doesn't know what to say.

The girl's indecisiveness was expected by Luo Pei, and he was not in a hurry, and took a sip of herbal tea again.

Anyway, no matter what opinion Makise Kurisu has, she has to do the time machine if she doesn't want to. The black-haired young man is not allowed to run aground on a major event related to the success of the trial.

For a few minutes, it seemed that Makise Kurisu felt that it was not good to leave her boss alone like this, so she said carefully.

"You... Since you have the idea of ​​making a time machine, why don't you use the senior researchers of the SCP Foundation?"

Makise Kurisu asked curiously.

"Mr. Luo Pei, those doctors are more profound than me, a small researcher, right? Dr. Kevin has a high degree in various research fields..."

"Because only you can do this, only you, Hong Liqi!"

Luo Pei interrupted the girl's words and said firmly.

Just kidding, let the person who clearly wrote the title of "Mother of the Time Machine" in the original work not use it, and go find some stinky fish and rotten shrimp. Isn't this a waste of time? Could it be that his time can be wasted at will?

"Answer my question head-on, would you like to build a time machine with me?"

"...can't do it."

Makise Kurisu said sadly.

"Mr. Luo Pei's request is too exaggerated. I am studying "brain science", and I can only say that I have a half-knowledge in terms of mechanics, let alone a time machine in the quantum field. The breakthrough from 0 to 1 is not difficult, but impossible. "

A normal person's reaction, a normal person's reply.

Rope nodded.

"Don't deny yourself too quickly, let me tell a story first-has Hong Liqi heard of the Cthulhu Mythos?"
