Chapter 1,083: Even 100,000 Times Doesn’t Count as Hard Work

(Ahem...I misremembered the number of chapters in the title, but it doesn't affect reading...)

This isn't the first time either.

After coming through time jump, Makise Kurisu would find something abnormal about Anzhe almost every time.

"You always use your high intelligence in strange places."

Anzhe said this with a calm look, which could be regarded as a disguised admission of the fact that he had jumped in time.

He was really about to collapse, and his futile rescue operations were completely pointless. He could only watch Makise Kurisu die in front of him again and again. He had to go back to the past. The result of doing so was to watch the girl die again.

But he couldn't just give up, he could only keep going back to the past, and after going through the painful process, he would get the determined result. Every time a girl dies, it's like cutting flesh into his heart.

And his behavior was like holding a knife, willingly and constantly cutting his own flesh, which was full of misery in every sense of the word.

Makise Kurisu shook her head. It was difficult for her not to notice the changes in Anzhe. She had seen him discussing the time jumping machine enthusiastically before, but after just a pause, he became like this...

"So, what's going on? Tell me carefully."

She spoke calmly, wanting to hear Anzhe's explanation.

Anzhe did not refuse and told what he had experienced.

Makise Kurisu was still the same as before. After hearing the news that she would die in the next few days, she did not appear panicked or unbearable, she just slightly raised her eyebrows.

"What a mess, idiot."

She turned around and leaned against the railing and spoke softly: "The time jumping machine may not be safe. Maybe even your existence itself will disappear."

The girl warned like this, blaming Anzhe for using the time jumping machine randomly and frequently.

But Anzhe didn't react at all to this. He just looked down at the ground with dead eyes, his pupils unfocused: "Human beings are also temporal beings at their roots."

"Well...that's what I was about to say."

"Actually, this is what you told me." An Zhe interrupted.

Makise Kurisu's expression choked up, and then she shook her head helplessly: "It's really uncomfortable, as if I was being spied on my inner thoughts."

"But that's what you told me yourself, only in the future."

What An Zhe means is that you can only blame yourself...

He and Makise Kurisu were always quarreling, but now even quarreling seemed to have become a luxury.

Makise Kurisu tilted her head and stared at Anzhe for a long time.

Is it an illusion? She found that the boy in front of her seemed to be scarred.

Is it because of himself that he became like this?

Because he will die at some point in the future, has he been making efforts that ordinary people cannot imagine...

I can't feel this kind of mood at all, but he looks... really tired...

"Well...if you're tired, just stop." Makise Kurisu looked at the city under the night and suddenly said this, causing Anzhe's distracted eyes to slowly condense.

"What...are you talking about...do you know what you are talking about?" He stared at Makise Kurisu's side face, his body trembling slightly.

"Because...you have already worked so hard."

“What’s the effort after thousands of repetitions!? A hundred thousand times is nothing like effort!!”

Anzhe's emotions became excited. He stared at the girl with a trembling body: "Kurisu, if I give up, you won't be able to survive!"

"I can't understand your persistence. If this is already the destiny, how can I resist? If it weren't for the time jumping machine, we wouldn't even have a chance to struggle."

"But now that the time machine has come out, I'm even grateful that it gave me the chance to struggle!"

"..."

Makise Kurisu stopped talking. She didn't understand why she was in distress, but her eyes were still calm and calm.

She also understands,

Anzhe is trying to save himself. But it's precisely because of his own affairs that Anzhe is in so much pain, isn't it...

Perhaps, rather than saying it is distress, it is better to say it is a complex emotion of joy and tangle.

After a moment of silence, she shook her head: "Anzhe, you have to know that the pain you are suffering now was brought to you by the time machine."

Anzhe closed his eyes and tried to calm down his emotions before opening his eyes again and looking at Makise Kurisu steadily.

"It does bring me a lot of grief, but it's nothing compared to the grief of losing you!"

Under Makise Kurisu's blank gaze, Anzhe hugged the girl tightly.

"Because you are unique, I must save you."

Makise Kurisu's eyes turned slightly red.

What is this? Is it a confession? Is this why you are so desperate?

But why is he so happy in his heart, knowing that he has to endure so much pain...

I am so selfish...

Makise Kurisu was hugged by Anzhe, her heart was already in confusion, and she found that she did not reject this feeling.

So when did my feelings towards Anzhe change? It couldn't be the reason just now, it was much earlier than that. However, I have obviously been quarreling with him before...

Really, it’s quite uncomfortable to know your future too early.

It seems that because of the girl in his arms, Anzhe rekindled his fighting spirit. He longed to hold this girl and feel her heartbeat, so no matter how cruel the fate was, he would continue to persevere!

"Go in first, tell everyone about this, and let everyone work out a solution together. One thing you did wrong is that you never asked everyone for help."

Makise Kurisu pushed Anzhe away gently, but there was still a touch of rosy color on her face, but it was enough for her to understand Anzhe's thoughts.

In the lounge, Sakamoto Masao and the others roughly understood the situation, and after careful questioning and confirmation, they were shocked and solemn.

After all, when the time jump thing really appeared in front of them, they were completely shocked. Then they started to think of solutions, but they were quickly rejected by Makise Kurisu and An Zhe.

"According to Anzhe, can you use the time machine to make a fuss now and send a reminder to Anzhe who existed in the more distant past than you did a month ago?" Maho Hiyasada raised a conjecture at this time.

"Of course not!"

Makise Kurisu directly denied it again: "Reminding the past self can easily affect the direction of the world line. If you do that, no one can be sure what the future will be like. The uncertainty is too great and the crisis will only More."

An Zhe also thought it made sense, but then he suddenly thought of something...

"Wait...send a reminder to my past self?"

A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately took out his cell phone from his body and called up the text message records.

If I remember correctly, I once received a text message with invisible content...
