Chapter 288:
"This is the result of Maris Billy's overprotection, and the pressure in the past few years has been too great. The director has become a frightened bird, and her spirit has already reached a critical point. Although she has been allowed to rest for a while, or simply find a It took time to enlighten her, but she kept using the reason of not having time as a reason to shirk."
If the patient is unwilling to treat, the doctor's medical skills are useless. Treatment is not the doctor's job alone, and the patient's own help is needed.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded from the console.
"What's the matter? This is... Servant?!"
...
After Roman cut off the communication, Lixiang and the others left the spiritual vein. Once the communication in Chaldea is connected, as long as there is no accident, it will generally not be disconnected.
At the request of Olga Marie, the three moved in other directions and began to investigate the strange Fuyuki town. Along the way, I encountered a lot of skeletons who attacked, but of course these little soldiers couldn't threaten the three of Lixiang. Although Olga Marie was already shivering with fear, in front of Matthew and Lixiang, these skeletons were completely incompetent. Just vulnerable.
But when the threat disappeared, the atmosphere became a little strange.
Although Lixiang was angry that her father left her and ran to other places, this time she went to Chaldea to restore her father in memory, but when Roman expresses her love frankly, Lixiang will be somewhat agitated. Can't stand it, especially with a few people here.
Matthew is a little strange. Roman is just her guardian, the doctor who has been in charge of adjusting her body. That man has been working hard for her physical and mental health, and even sleepless for a period of time, the concern from the heart is by no means an ordinary doctor-patient relationship. Compared with the genuine daughter Fujimaru Rika, Matthew is more like Roman's daughter. But Matthew had never heard such straightforward words from Roman's mouth, and even called Roman "Dad" under the instigation of Mona Lisa once, but was finally rejected by Roman. Now hearing Roman suddenly say "I love you", Matthew feels a little tangled. Should she try to call that man "Dad" again?
No, absolutely not, it's such a shame to have such a father! Just the thought of an internet idol-obsessed father of a fictional character wearing odd clothes all day gives one the urge to slap the shield to death.
As for Olga Marie, it was really embarrassing to show the wrong expression just now, and it hasn't recovered yet.
Thinking of the self-indulgence just now, Olga Marie had the urge to rush into the group of skeletons, and she grabbed her head and shouted.
"Ahhh, why should I bother with such a thing? Looks like an idiot!"
"Director, do you feel any discomfort? Is it the spirit or the head. If you want to knock your head, I can help you."
"Don't come here, what are you planning to do, kill me?"
Olga Marie only now remembered that Matthew was actually not much better. Although she appeared harmless to humans and animals, she also had a reason to kill Olga Marie.
"I was surprised from the very beginning. Isn't the eldest sister of Chaldea supposed to be stronger than the others? It's similar to the strongest leader, right, Dad seems to have said it just now,' If the director is a coward' or something like that, hey, Mary, aren't you really a coward?"
Since just now, Olga Marie's performance has been in a state of dropping points. Although it is interesting to say that such a woman who is in a high position but hides a weak attribute, it also feels very good to be bullied by an invisible shaking M, but at this time, it is more time to show a reliable side.
"In this case, isn't Dad even more decadent?"
Li Xiang suddenly felt that Olga Marie did not seem to be a very good candidate.
Thinking of this, Lixiang couldn't help but sigh, and then felt a little angry. Because his father is so unsatisfactory, he actually wants to worry about his life as a daughter.
"Senior, you've been mumbling what to say, because you've been staring at the director, and the director has been scared to the point of crying."
Matthew came over holding the placard, her face looked to the other side with worry, Olga Marie hugged her head and huddled, as if trying to avoid Lika's gaze.
"It's really useless... ah, literally, she doesn't look reliable at all, is it really okay to hand Dad... Chaldea to this person? Not only does she look like she can't control it, she said It may be dragged into the water, and the situation may get worse and worse. Unfortunately, there is no other choice now. Anyway, I just don't like that Bichi, and now I feel that everyone is better than her. "
"Although I don't know what the seniors are talking about, the director has always managed Chaldea's affairs in an orderly manner. Dr. Roman said that a calm director is very reliable."
"calm?"
"That's right. If everything is expected, the director can take care of many things in order. But if there is an uncontrollable accident, the director will panic, but this time Professor Leif will be there. The director of support next to me... this is what the doctor told me."
"Hehehe...Romani, you bastard..."
Matthew's words made Olga Marie let out a strange sneer, the amber eyes had lost focus, and the whole person had a broken feeling.
"That's right."
Tachika sighed and decided to lower Olga Marie's ranking. Although she said that she has experience in disciplining her father, the problem is that Olga Marie can't even manage herself. Wouldn't this cause trouble for everyone?
A perverted dad is enough to make people nervous, do you still want me to bother my stepmother?
How should I do it? Anyway, that Bichi named Mona Lisa is absolutely not good, do you really want to take my father back to Fuyuki Town for a blind date? By the way, hasn't Dad been playing the development game all the time?
Li Xiang calmly looked at Matthew who was following him... No, no, Matthew is still a child, and her father only treats her as a child, how can he be his stepmother?
When he thought that his stepmother was a girl about his age, maybe even younger than him, Lixiang shuddered.
"Huh? Senior, your face looks so bad, do you feel uncomfortable - someone is coming! This reaction is Servant!"
Matthew suddenly felt strange magic fluctuations, and then saw a black shadow appear. This magic reaction similar to his own made Matthew immediately determine that the other party was a Servant like himself, and he erected a shield to block it without even thinking about it. In front of Lixiang.
A heavy impact hit the cross shield in front of him, and Matthew's body shook lightly, but quickly remained parallel.
"What? What is this black thing?"
"Master, be careful, the other party is a Servant, definitely not comparable to those skeletons just now."
Seeing the excited expression on Lixiang's face, Matthew felt that Lixiang was too careless. These Servants are far from being comparable to horses and skeletons on the road. The blow just now made Matthew feel it.
The shadow rushed over again, holding a short knife in its hand. It was a servant of the melee type, and it happened to be the type that Matthew was good at.
Relying on the shield in his hand, Matthew blocked the Servant's attack, and even had a tendency to gain the upper hand.
Chapter 478 Chapter 18 Misfortune Ten Years Ago
Is the battle still going on fiercely? It doesn't look like it will end in a short period of time.
When Rika was thinking about whether to help, Chaldea's communication was connected.
"What the **** happened? There is an abnormal magical reaction here."
After discovering that Servant appeared, Roman was connected to this side immediately, and he was relieved when he found that everyone was safe. Then his attention was also put on the battlefield, and he was startled by the scene in front of him.
"What's going on? Why does Servant appear here, and it's still an enemy."
"How could I know about this kind of thing? This person suddenly appeared, and he attacked us without saying a word. If Matthew hadn't been injured, I really wanted to kill him with one punch."
"Don't say such violent words as soon as you open your mouth. You are a girl. You should at least be reserved... Forget it, I am not qualified to lecture you."
"Don't turn the topic into strange directions. Now that Kyrielet is still fighting, how to end the battle is the most important thing."
Finding that the topic of the two people did not know where they were going, Olga Marie couldn't help but scolded. Of course, the object of the rebuke was Roman, and the shadow of Rika still affected her. Although it was true that Roman was Rika's father, Olga Marie was almost conditioned to speak out the rebuke.
"Sorry, I'm not very good at fighting, but I can see that Mash is very relaxed now. Does the director plan to use magic to support Mash?"
"Idiot, how could magic be able to hurt a Servant? The only one who can defeat a Servant is Kyrielet, who is also a Servant. At this time, he can't do anything at all."
Lixiang looked at the fierce battlefield, then tilted her head and said with a relaxed expression.
"Is that so, it looks like I'm the only one who will go out in person?"
"What are you thinking? You are strong, yes, but how can you defeat the Servant? Just obediently providing magic power to Kyrielite at this time is enough."
Olga Marie looked at the battlefield anxiously and couldn't help biting her fingers.
"If only at this time... if at this time, I would also make a contract with the Servant, so that it would be two-to-one, and I could easily kill the enemy."
In fact, the battle was not as tense as Olga Marie had worried. Although the battle between Matthew and the unknown Servant was fierce, it was only because the strength of the Servant was far greater than that of ordinary magicians, so in Olga Marie's view, it seemed very dangerous. In fact, although Mash met a Servant for the first time, the battle was surprisingly easy because the enemy's Servant was on him.
The other party attacked without saying a word, and did not reveal the idea of communication from beginning to end. It gave people the feeling that it was not as vivid as Mash, but a kind of puppet feeling. Although it is a Servant, the operation of magic power and the action status of battle are rigid, far less flexible than Mashu's performance. For this reason, the Servant who did not exert his powerful power could not pose a threat to Mash.
However, Matthew has just obtained the power of an unknown Servant. He does not know the opponent's real name, nor can he use the Noble Phantasm. All he has is the shield as a weapon, and the powerful physique after merging with the Servant, so he will not be able to deal a fatal blow to the enemy. .
The half-baked Servant fights the half-baked Servant, so the battle will continue to stalemate, and no one can kill anyone.
But as bystanders, Roman and Rika could see that as long as Mash mastered her own strength and the rhythm of battle, killing the local Servant was only a matter of time.
Seeing that the battle situation became more dangerous, the timid Olga Marie suggested: "We can't continue to consume it, why don't we retreat."
"Escape? What joke are you talking about? In my eyes, Fujimaru Rika, there has never been the word 'escape'."
"Well said, I thought it was just a little girl with no experience in the world, but I didn't expect it to be a woman with a backbone. In this case, I can't let it go."
A frivolous voice sounded, and then a blue man appeared in their field of vision. He has short blue hair, a sky blue robe, and holds a golden wooden staff in his hand.
"Hey, shield soldier over there, you don't need to worry here anymore. Before the battle is over, I will protect these two women and don't make us wait too long."
Suddenly there was an unfamiliar voice behind him, and Matthew's movements were obviously hesitant. Fortunately, the other party didn't grasp this flaw, and it just turned the advantage that Matthew had managed to master into a disadvantage. However, after Matthew knew that Rika and Olga Marie were protected, his passive attitude changed, and his attacking actions became more ferocious. After spending some time, he finally killed the hostile Servant.
"—"
The unknown Servant let out a silent sigh and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
The nerves that had been tense were finally relieved, but Matthew did not intend to take a breather and rest here, but ran back.
"Senior, director, are you all right!"
"We're fine. Really, it turns out that Matthew has been worrying about us all the time. In fact, there is absolutely no need for this. Even if a guy who doesn't have long eyes comes to attack, I can beat him to the ground."
Li Xiang said nonchalantly. In her opinion, the strange Servant who fought with Matthew was nothing at all. Although she had never fought a Servant, her intuition told her that the Servant could not threaten her. Although it is an intuition for no reason, intuition is enough. Lixiang's intuition has always been accurate. The strength of a Servant with a strength of about 30 skeleton units is enough to punch him seriously.
compare to--
Li Xiang glanced at the blue man beside him, because only he could give him a sense of danger.
"Hahaha, this tone is really arrogant, but I don't hate it. Rather, I like a strong woman like you very much. Anyway, I heard the sound of fighting here, so I rushed over. Take a look, I didn't expect to see you, little girl, fighting with these scum."
The blue man looked at Matthew with admiration, obviously affirming Matthew's performance just now.
Finding that the other party was someone who could negotiate, Roman, who had been watching, said.
"Thank you very much for helping us at this time. First meeting, Caster of Servant, although I don't know which Heroic Spirit you are, I still have fear in my heart..."
"Ah, this kind of opening remarks are omitted. I'm tired of listening to it. Let's say it quickly, soft-footed shrimp, you are better at this, right?"
"Soft-footed... soft-footed shrimp or something, it was said that when we first met... Then I will say it directly."
Although it was said to be a soft-footed shrimp, Roman was not angry, and it was not difficult to guess from his words that it seemed that it was not the first time that he had been said this way. It's just that although he doesn't care, someone has already decided to kill.
Because the other party didn't seem to be an unscrupulous person, and there was a hostile Servant just now, it was the time when he needed help, so Roman simply explained the current situation of Chaldea once, hoping to get the help of this male Servant.
"...The above is the current situation of our Chaldea, if possible..."
"Wait a minute, Dad!"
"Ahh? Does Lixiang have anything to say?"
"Isn't this a matter of course? I have a lot of questions to figure out. From the beginning, I was confused. Master, Servant, etc., I can't figure it out at all!"
"Huh? Did you come to Chaldea without knowing anything? Why didn't you ask the director when you were resting just now?"
Roman couldn't imagine what happened just now. Rika suddenly came to Chaldea, Chaldea suddenly had a big explosion, Mash suddenly became a Servant, Rika suddenly became a Master, and everyone was suddenly attacked... even more unacceptable to Roman. However, Lixiang is still at a loss.
Obviously, everyone has the same question, so all eyes are on the person who seems to be the most "reliable" here.
"—" Suddenly being stared at by everyone, Olga Marie couldn't help but be startled, but she didn't show the humiliating appearance of trembling, but forced herself to calm down.
"Before I explain, I want to clarify one thing. You... are you the only Servant who participated in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki Town and survived?"
Olga Marie's eyes looked at the blue man, naturally asking him.
"If you mean winning or losing, I really didn't lose. But I don't know when it will start, our Holy Grail War has changed. I don't know what happened. The city was engulfed by fire overnight, and all human beings disappeared. Only the Servant is left. That guy Saber took the lead in re-initiating the Holy Grail War, and that guy led the war everywhere, and took down Archer, Lancer, Rider, and Assassin with his own hands, and that’s how it became.”
After Olga Marie heard the blue man's words, she kept looking at Rika, and after hesitating for a while, she sighed helplessly.
"...Although you are not a qualified magus, but since you have signed a contract with the Servant, it is okay for me to tell you everything."
It all starts with Chaldea itself.
The Humanity Survival Guarantee Organization, Phoenix Chaldea, is an organization that protects human civilization from destruction. Using the crystallization of magic and science, Chaldea has achieved many fruitful results so far. Among them are the computer demon "Laplace" that observes the past, the earth environment model "Chaldeas", the lens "Sheba" that observes the future, the heroic summoning system "Fate", and the Reiki computer "Trismogi". With these inventions, Chaldea can not only see the past, but also observe the future, no matter what the content is, Chaldea will always guarantee that the history of mankind can continue to a hundred years later.
However, half a year ago, Chaldeas changed, and the colors representing human civilization had disappeared, that is to say, human beings were completely dead at a certain point in time. Through observations, it was finally confirmed that the time when humans disappeared from the earth was in 2015. That is, at some point in 2015, humans suddenly went extinct. Chaldea searched for the reason for the extinction of humanism in the past six months, and finally found that the reason for the extinction of humanism was not in the future, but in the past.
Yes, the reason why human history disappears is not what happened in the future, but what happened in the past.
Using Laplace and Tris Mogistri to conduct intelligence screening, and finally found the location where human nature disappeared - the spatial singularity point F, in 2004 AD, in a certain city in Japan, there was an abnormality that should not have appeared. Change.
The singularity has never been observed so far. In other words, like a big hole that suddenly appeared, this big hole itself is detached from the normal time axis and exists independently in the past and the future. As for Chaldea, who found the singularity, what he needs to do is to let the Master prepare to summon Saervant to enter the singularity and clear the cause of the disappearance of human nature. Just like a sick person taking medicine to kill the virus lurking in his body, the Master of Chaldea plays the role of "drug".
But what I didn't expect was that, before the spiritual transfer was successful, a big explosion occurred suddenly, which severely injured the 47 Masters in the control room, and the only one who was not present at that time, Fujimaru Tachika, escaped. Not only that, Rika also made a contract with Mash, who had become a sub-servant by accident, and became a glorious Master.
"So it's like this... That is to say, is this Fuyuki Town ten years ago?"
After listening to Olga Marie's explanation, Rika finally understood what happened. Although she often relies on violence to solve problems, Lixiang is not a **** with only muscles. On the contrary, her brain is so useful that she can live alone in Fuyuki Town for ten years from the age of six.
"Today... what happened in Fuyuki Town ten years ago?"
Lixiang is very concerned about what happened in Fuyuki Town ten years ago. Of course, it's not such a trivial matter as the disappearance of human nature. The reason why Lixiang really cares is because ten years ago, it happened that Lixiang had nothing, became an orphan, and was finally adopted by Roman who happened to pass through Fuyuki Town.
Lixiang suddenly felt that he might be able to find the source of the misfortune that happened to him here.
PS: There will be a lot of original descriptions in the plot of the prologue. Well, they are descriptions.
