Crossover Anime: Destroying Tokyo by One Person

Chapter 43 World Line Chapter Return

Having received a positive response from the system, Xu Yuan opened the bounty mission list and found Hashida Itaru.

After accepting the mission, I discovered he was still on campus.

He immediately turned and headed towards the campus.

As soon as I entered the campus, I encountered Jinshiro Nagiyuki.

"Gen!" Nagiyuki Kamishiro greeted him.

His cool expression carried a faint hint of joy, the kind that comes with seeing someone you love.

Xu Yuan nodded to her: "Naginata."

He didn't want to get entangled with anyone at this time.

If a simple greeting would suffice, he wouldn't hesitate to call out a few more times.

But a young girl's mind is always sharp.

As the two passed each other, Kandai Nagiyuki suddenly grabbed his hand and said earnestly, "Gen."

"What's wrong?" Xu Yuan asked patiently.

"I should be the one asking that question."

Kamishiro Nagiyuki frowned slightly, her expression worried.

The worry was tinged with sadness and dejection.

"You've been acting strange since yesterday. What happened? Can you tell me?"

"You're overthinking it. I just need to go back to the classroom for a bit."

"No, something's wrong! Something must be wrong! You weren't like this before. Can you tell me, Yuan? Can you tell me what happened?"

The girl grabbed his hand and pleaded.

Xu Yuan sighed and removed her hand: "Sorry, I have something to do."

After saying that, he strode into the school.

"Where are you going! Yuan, where are you going!!"

Kandai Nagiyuki hurriedly chased after him.

However, given Xu Yuan's physical abilities, if he wanted to shake off someone, how could an ordinary person catch up with him?

After circling around a bit, he shook her off.

Kamishiro Nagiyuki stretched out her hand forward in confusion.

In the end, they only managed to grab something that turned out to be empty.

Looking at her empty palms, she felt her heart was empty too, as if a piece was missing.

She turned to look at Takehara Shizuka beside her.

Her eyes were unfocused, her expression was full of helplessness, and her cherry lips were slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something.

Two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks first.

"Jing, Yuan abandoned me..."

Takehara Shizuka panicked immediately and quickly reassured her, "Young Miss, he just had something urgent to attend to!"

"But he abandoned me..."

"How could that be! So much has happened between you two, how could he possibly abandon you?"

"R-really?"

"Of course it's true! Miss, you just need to get a good night's sleep, a good night's sleep, and everything will be alright when you wake up tomorrow morning!"

On the other hand, after shaking off Jinshiro Nagiyuki.

Xu Yuan checked the location of Shimohashida Itaru and was about to go there when he suddenly caught a conversation.

"Hey, Paper Valley, is that all you have?"

"I just wanted to borrow some money from you, aren't you being too stingy?"

"That's right, that's right."

"Aren't we friends? Shouldn't friends help each other?"

"It's not like you borrowed money and didn't pay it back. Take more next time!"

In the corner, several slovenly delinquents were surrounding a timid-looking boy.

Just then, a tall figure with a gloomy face strode towards them.

The group was taken aback, recognizing Xu Yuan as the person in question.

After all, he was a prominent figure at school.

As they stared at each other, a fist the size of a sandbag came crashing down on them.

After quickly beating up the group of delinquents, Xu Yuan said coldly, "If you dare to bully him again, I'll break your bones!"

Then, he suddenly turned around, grabbed Shin Kamiya by the collar, and angrily lifted him up.

"That's money your mother worked so hard to earn! Shin Kamigu, you son of a bitch, hold your head high!!!"

At that moment, Shin Kamiya was terrified.

He wanted to say that he had actually earned it by working secretly, but he trembled and dared not speak.

Because Xu Yuan is truly terrifying when he's angry.

He exuded a violent and terrifying aura.

It resembles a ferocious beast in human form.

Not only Shin Kamiya, but even those delinquents were almost scared to death.

Seeing Shinichi's timid appearance, Xu Yuan was furious. He took a few deep breaths before he could barely suppress the anger and disappointment in his chest.

He released his grip and threw Shiya Shin on the ground.

Then he asked, "How has your mother been feeling lately?"

On this timeline, at this point in time, Shin Kamiya is still alive.

His mother may still be alive.

"It's...it's alright..." Shinichi Kamiya said in a trembling voice.

Xu Yuan then asked, "Did you make her angry?"

He had heard Shinichi Kamitani mention it before.

The night before his mother committed suicide, he had a big argument with her because he came home late.

That incident filled him with deep regret.

He didn't elaborate at the time, but Xu Yuan could tell that perhaps deep down he felt that he was the one who killed his mother.

Shinjiro Kamiya shrank back as he looked at him.

"No, no, I didn't make Mother angry!"

"Whether you have or not, now! Right now! Immediately! Go find your mother! Tell her you love her!"

"what?"

"Did you hear me! Go right now!"

"Okay, okay!"

"If I find out you haven't done what I said, I'll break your legs!"

Upon hearing this, Shin Kamiya quickly got up.

At this moment, Xu Yuan suddenly pursed his lips and softened his tone slightly: "Go find Shirahama Kenichi from Class 5 tomorrow and have him take you to Liangshanbo. Just say that I introduced you."

"Okay, okay," Shin Kamiya quickly replied.

At this moment, who would dare to say "no"?

Moreover, given his timid nature.

"So, what about now?"

Go find your mother!

As he spoke, Xu Yuan tossed him a wad of cash.

"Give it to me the fastest way possible!"

After Shinichi ran away, Xu Yuan looked at the delinquent in front of him and raised his hand to the side.

In the next instant, the tree, as thick as a water bucket, was cut in half and then crashed to the ground.

This scene immediately terrified them.

Is this...is this even human?!

Xu Yuan looked at them coldly: "Give him back all the money you took from him. Also, don't bully him again, or you'll face the consequences."

"Yes, yes, yes! I wouldn't dare!"

The group was so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him repeatedly.

They were afraid that he might kill them if he got angry.

When they looked up again, Xu Yuan had already disappeared.

……

Why do we need to do this?

[Once the spatial node in Steins;Gate is closed, this world line will disappear completely.]

Everything here can be seen as a dream.

[Host, you've only been wasting your time.]

Seeing the system notification that suddenly popped up, Xu Yuan said calmly, "I'm happy to."

Regardless of its meaning, he only sought clarity of thought.

The system did not respond further.

Based on the coordinates given in the bounty mission, Xu Yuan quickly located Hashida Itaru.

Rintaro Okabe was also there.

The two of them continued to wander around the campus.

Xu Yuan walked straight toward them.

"Xu Yuanshi!" Hashida greeted him.

Rintaro Okabe then said, "A secret agent from China, huh? What? Are you here to arrest this mad scientist, Phoenix Institute, again...?"

Before they could finish speaking, Xu Yuan had already grabbed them.

To be precise, they grabbed their collars.

"Come with me."

Go? Where to?

The moment the thought crossed their minds, they saw a pair of wings suddenly extend from behind Xu Yuan.

Immediately afterwards, a strong wind swept over us.

In the blink of an eye, the two were already high in the sky.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Looking down at the street and realizing there was nothing beneath their feet, the two turned pale with fright and screamed, quickly grabbing Xu Yuan's legs on either side.

Xu Yuan flapped his wings and quickly arrived at the apartment.

Landing on the rooftop, he pried open the hands that were tightly gripping his legs. Seeing that they were too weak to walk, he had no choice but to carry one in each hand, open the emergency exit door, and head downstairs.

Go down to the fourth floor.

Theresa was leaning against the wall, standing at the door of his room.

Clearly, the commotion had alerted her.

"What's up?"

"fine."

Xu Yuan said, "I'm sorry, I have to break my promise tonight."

"It's nothing," Theresa said casually.

After saying that, he lazily went back to his room.

Xu Yuan watched her return to her room, then looked away.

He made a promise with Theresa to catch a demon.

I'll go watch Sakuragi Hanamichi's game a few days later.

He agreed to Kenshin's participation in the Kui Xing Flag competition.

All of this—the original plans, the trajectory of his life—shattered like bubbles the moment his memory returned.

This stirred up a strange feeling in him.

Because this world is not an illusion or anything like that.

The so-called world line can be understood as the multiple possibilities of world development.

The development of this timeline should not have been controlled by the world will of those fantasy worlds.

the reason is simple.

If they could control it, they would never have allowed Okabe Rintaro and the others to transfer schools, nor would they have allowed Enma Ai to appear in front of him.

After all, he was able to regain his memory so quickly this time.

It was these successive unexpected events that made him quickly realize the problem.

This ultimately led to a loosening of memory.

Since the course of the world has not been manipulated, it means that the current world is also a possibility.

The appearance of these anime characters around him was not due to anyone's control.

But it's hard to say it was purely a coincidence.

I reckon it's the fate-sustaining effect of the "Transmigrator" title.

That's pretty impressive, no wonder it's EX-rank...

and many more!

Could this be the system's tactic for making bets?!

Xu Yuan remembered that the system had said that if he did not regain his memories, it would need to make concessions to those fantasy worlds depending on the circumstances.

However, this contradicts its operational goals.

If it weren't absolutely certain, would it really take this gamble?

Perhaps its main advantage is the title of "time traveler".

Back in his room, Xu Yuan put Okabe Rintaro and Hashida Itaru down, then found the other's laptop and placed it in front of Hashida Itaru: "Open it for me."

After regaining his memories, he discovered—

The isotopes on this worldline are different from the isotopes on the original worldline.

The original counterpart on the world line is 20 years old this year. After taking a break from university, she came to Japan to study and is currently attending a language school, preparing for the entrance exams for Japanese universities.

The isotope on this world line is 17 years old and is studying in high school in Japan.

But apart from that, all other information is exactly the same.

Even their ID numbers are identical except for the year of birth.

And they were all dead.

Whether this computer contains any important information, and if so, whether it applies to the original timeline, are all unknown.

But Xu Yuan thought it could be used as a reference.

Hashida's legs were still weak, and his eyes were filled with shock: "Xu Yuanshi, just now..."

Rintaro Okabe, standing to the side, did the same.

The brief experience they just had overturned their worldview.

"Turn on my computer and I'll tell you."

Xu Yuan painted a rosy picture for them.

Hashida looked at the computer: "What's this?"

"I forgot my computer password," Xu Yuan said. "There might be something very important on it, and I need you to open it for me as soon as possible."

Hashida Itaru nodded: "No problem."

"How long will it take?"

"It'll be quick, it's very simple."

"Thank you very much."

Hashida Itaru quickly fiddled with the computer, and after a while told him, "It's done."

Xu Yuan saw that it was indeed unlocked, so he knocked the two unconscious and then looked at the computer screen.

The first thing I saw was the document on the desktop.

To the person who turns on this computer

He was immediately invigorated and opened it—

"By the time you see this document, I will already be dead..."

"Sorry, wrong channel."

"It doesn't seem like I'm crossing over; I really am dead."

"In short, that's the situation."

"You might not understand it clearly, but that's the gist of it."

Those who understand, understand; those who don't, won't understand even if you explain.

"Besides, there's nothing on this computer, so don't waste your time."

"What?! You don't believe me?!"

"Go find out if you don't believe me!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Xu Yuan: "?"

I suddenly feel like my counterpart is a bit annoying.

Xu Yuan sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Well, it wasn't a complete loss.

First, the isotope knows that it will die.

Secondly, he suspected that someone would take his laptop after he died.

Under what circumstances does this kind of thing usually happen?

The answer is, when searching for something.

Does he have something that others would covet?

But I couldn't find it at all.

Has it already been taken?

Or is it something intangible like intelligence?

Of course, there's also the possibility that this document is just a prank.

In addition, these are the cases of isotopes on this world line.

Whether it applies to the original world line is unknown.

Let's just use this as a reference.

Next, just in case, Xu Yuan checked other things on the computer.

Unfortunately, he didn't find anything useful until the system started urging him to complete the task.

Perhaps, as he said, there is nothing inside.

After sending away all the characters related to Steins;Gate, the system asked him if he wanted to retain his memories.

Xu Yuan chose "Yes".

Regardless, the memories from the past two days are real, and he doesn't want any gaps in his memory.

He was enveloped in a layer of warm white light.

Immediately afterward, Xu Yuan found himself back on the river of time.

Last time, his consciousness was almost frozen.

Even from just a blurry glimpse, one can sense the immense power of its presence.

This time, however, his consciousness functioned normally.

He could see it very clearly.

It has no origin and no end.

Humanity's limited vocabulary is insufficient to describe even a fraction of its vastness.

The chaotic light stretched endlessly, without beginning or end.

The points of light floated within, like waves crashing in, then transformed into towering waves that engulfed Xu Yuan.

When he came to his senses again, he was already in the living room of the Kamiya family's house.

Meanwhile, the task settlement process begins.
