Stray Chapter 71: The ending and the little episode
"Senior? Senior woke up!"
In a trance, he seemed to hear a familiar voice, Fujimaru Rika opened her hazy eyes subconsciously, and found Marjou standing outside the instrument looking at herself.
She has shed her wartime garb, no longer wears tight purple armor and holds a huge shield. Instead, she returned to her usual dress in Chaldea, with short pink hair that just covered her eyes on one side, and also wore a pair of glasses, looking like a quiet literary girl...
"This is...the box...?"
After all, she has had such experiences many times, the girl naturally reacted quickly, the hazy drowsiness disappeared in an instant, she looked out from the box used for the transfer of the spiritual child, and saw the familiar The scenery and people, he has come back unknowingly.
This is Chaldea's control room, she is lying in the iron coffin-like transfer device.
"Well, everyone has returned safely. As you can see, there is no problem." Matthew nodded, and at the same time skillfully cooperated with Fujimaru Rika to open the cage outside, helping the latter to transfer from the spirit child. out of the device.
"Romani, come and help!"
Da Vinci on the side stretched out his hand to greet the doctor, who was sweating profusely and barely touching the ground. He wanted him to come and take a look as soon as possible. Among people, the only real ordinary human being, naturally needs to be more attentive.
Even if it is an artificial life like Matthew with a design life of only 18 years, after the fusion of the power of the Servant, the body's various abilities have been greatly improved... Only Fujimaru Rika has always been the most vulnerable, although Almost all of the usual waking time is spent on various training exercises and spiritual simulation battles.
It's a pity
Because of the limited time, the aptitude is not very good. Although the improvement is obvious and obvious, it can be said that the improvement is huge, but the main reason is that she has a low level, so the upgrade standard is also low. Level 1 upgrades to level 2 It can also be said that the strength is doubled, and the progress is huge...
But for all kinds of singularity dungeons that require full training at level 90, this improvement is indeed negligible. At present, it is still a cute human girl, and probably will not say "I don't" in the future. A chance for the lines of being a man.
"Come here!" The sweaty Romani Achiman replied, quickly explaining a few words to the surrounding staff, and then hurried over.
It's not just the doctors who can't be busy, the staff in Chaldea seem to be too busy. Fujimaru Rika just glanced at it hastily, and can feel that kind of full swing, panic? The atmosphere of racing against time? As if fighting a life-and-death war.
"There is a serious problem with the transfer of the spiritual child, and the fault has not been eliminated yet? Even the cause has not been found? So everyone dare not relax..."
Dr. Roman explained in a difficult manner. His eyes were red and black, as if he had not slept for several days? He had dark circles and bloodshot eyes.
"We don't even know how you got back? After that evil dragon, we couldn't even transmit the image back, and the unknown interference was particularly serious, and after that, we really disconnected... I thought something was wrong, but luckily..."
He looked very relieved.
Although I don’t know what happened? But all three of them were able to return safely? They even solved the trouble of the sixth singularity. .
"Can't even maintain the proof of existence?" Da Vinci raised his delicate eyebrows, keenly aware of the key points, and asked.
"No signal at all? It's impossible to send or receive, how do you think we can maintain a proof of existence..."
Doctor Roman said this? With a heart palpitating appearance, he looked up and down at Fujimaru Rika, who had returned successfully? Fortunately, he wiped his sweat and said, "Fortunately, there was no spiritual decomposition, it was like a god. Blessed miracle...but when did you change your clothes, Rika?"
That's right? Isn't it a great fortune among misfortunes? It's simply the result of a miracle.
After losing contact for such a long period of time? Without the maintenance and assurance of the proof of existence, there was no accident at all? You must know that all the Chaldeans, including Romani, are mentally prepared for the worst.
So, what degree of luck does this girl have? !
"I don't think this has anything to do with God's blessing. If that one is really in charge, wouldn't it be better to help us clean up that **** King Solomon..."
Da Vinci curled his lips, then turned his head to Fujimaru Rika and said, "Basically there is only one possibility, the magician is right, he didn't want to hurt you from the beginning. When Chaldea cut off contact, he was maintaining your "existence", no wonder he took you away by himself..."
"Eh? Yes, is that so?" Fujimaru Rika was stunned, she hadn't thought about it, she didn't know at all.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that what Da Vinci said makes sense, no matter how you look at it, it should be the magician who is protecting her, and there is a proof that she is in a situation that no one knows about. It underwent a second transfer and was sent to the deep-sea computer singularity in 2030 AD.
Theoretically speaking, she still had no accident, and she must not be able to do without Xia Ran's protection, because no one else could support her at that time.
"This is the only possibility, otherwise, do you really believe that it is the reason that Roman said God blesses?" Da Vinci felt that he had seen everything, and no matter how lucky he was, he could not explain such a thing.
Because the singularity is both reality and a hypothetical world. As long as he is in the singularity, the existence of Fujimaru Rika becomes ambiguous. In order to ensure that she will not "disappear", she must continue to prove her existence on the Chaldean side.
Otherwise, once her existence value changes due to certain conditions, the pseudo-her spiritual image may be left on Chaldeas, resulting in the inability to return to modern times, or even Even more terrible things can happen.
Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the status of Fujimaru Tachika at all times from the control room, and confirm the various values. Even if there is any "deviation", it must be immediately returned to the "normal value"... It's like taking an X-ray , the film shows that there is some kind of risk and problem in the patient's body, and the doctor will use PS to help the patient fix it...
In a word, during the period of complete disconnection and monitoring, and the loss of technical support from Chaldea, Fujimaru Rika has a very high probability of an accident every second, and even has a high possibility of being decomposed into a spiritual child , because it is a person who does not belong to that singularity.
There is no accident in this second, and the existence is fairly stable, which can be said to be lucky; the next second is not decomposed, and it still exists stably, which can also be said to be lucky...
But no matter how lucky you are, can you still ensure that in the countless checks that are being carried out every moment, you will keep throwing the results of great success again and again, and there will never be even a single failure? This is obviously impossible, so it can only be the work of the magician.
"Wait, what magician?"
Dr. Roman was a little stunned, and then he reacted with some hindsight, and he quickly asked with a look of vigilance: "Is it the palace magician of the Lion King mentioned earlier? Is it Merlin? You should have met. He, he must have done it, must have done something good?"
“…”
“…”
No, why do you have such a big opinion about Merlin? Is it not pleasing to see him like this, obviously there is no interest in each other, right?
"I'll explain these things to you later, Romani..." Da Vinci looked at the doctor helplessly, and then glanced at the chaotic and busy control room scene, "Hurry up and check Lixiang. , and then go back to rest, I can handle the next thing."
"Ah? Oh, this, actually, I can still..." The doctor waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that he was completely fine and could continue the liver.
"You may die suddenly if you wait for another half a day..." Da Vinci didn't give the doctor a chance to refute, and waved his hand impatiently, interrupting his words.
Mingming's eyes were as red as rabbits, and her eyes were bloodshot, and she felt worried.
I don't know how long this person had been surviving before he and others didn't return. However, considering this guy's hellish patience, and the fact that he often used drugs to improve his mental precision and cover up his physical fatigue, Da Vinci was still worried that he was now stretched to the limit.
"Hey! Wait..."
"I'm fine, just give me a little more time! Just a little more time!"
Doctor Roman was ultimately unable to do anything. After the examination, he was chased away by Da Vinci with a strong attitude. He was called in by two staff members who crossed their arms and dragged them out of the control room.
"Doctor, he's all right...isn't he being too **** himself?"
Fujimaru Tachika couldn't help but sweat for Dr. Roman when she saw this.
"Because Roman is a man who pushes himself in every way..." Da Vinci snorted softly, "Since the appointment of the crown, he has hardly slept, except for his own work in the medical department, there are still some leftovers. He is in charge of the operation of equipment, the maintenance of Sheba, the control of the Chaldean furnace, the strategy of warfare, and the use of spiritual transfer.”
"Huh?" Even Matthew's eyes widened in surprise, "How could..."
"What's surprising, after the director Olga Marie was thrown into Chaldeas and died, Roman's position was the highest among the surviving staff, so he took the position of acting director, as an ordinary person However, he has shouldered the responsibility of saving people, and he has to sacrifice time and physical strength to deal with tasks beyond his ability."
Da Vinci shook his head and said.
In fact, it was not just after the crown appointment started, but it should be said that Dr. Roman was already like this before that.
Although I don't know the reason, I don't know what happened to him, but seeing that something terrible is always oppressing him, forcing him to study hard, work day and night, and run into the darkness with tears in our eyes Da Vinci couldn't see the scene in it.
The almighty genius can't say how much he likes Chaldea, because there are too many dark places in this organization. If she didn't stay to help Roman, she would have left Caleb a few years ago. end.
If the is bad, it will only be like Galahad before. Although he stays, he will just sit on the sidelines and will never help.
After Galahad was summoned, he was angry at Chaldea's inhumane experiment, but he was worried that if he left just like that, Matthew, who was the object of the fusion, would die immediately, so he never left to help Matthew. Xiu maintained his life while refusing to cooperate with Chaldea.
Even when he was just summoned and found that the problem was wrong, this heroic spirit was extremely angry. He directly controlled Matthew's body to show amazing fighting ability and broke through all the defense methods of the Chaldean laboratory. Almost penetrating the entire Chaldea...
If it wasn't for Mash to stop him in the end, he might choose to destroy Chaldea directly instead of fighting these darkness in that negative way.
"Okay, let's not talk about Roman, I just checked it and found that the sixth singularity seems to be unobservable, and the Holy Grail has also been brought back... Although it doesn't make much sense, at least it proves that The magician should have fulfilled his promise."
Da Vinci, who turned around, said to Fujimaru Tachika and Mash, and at the same time he let out a long sigh of relief.
This journey can be said to be extremely dangerous. If the other party is really an enemy, then they have no chance of winning at all, but fortunately the other party is still on their side. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, they finally passed the test and were recognized.
"According to that guy's parting words, the seventh singularity is the most critical singularity. The real Holy Grail was in that era, and it was still sent to the Holy Grail in past history by the mastermind behind the scenes. From the very beginning, the human body burn will continue..."
"Master Xia Ran said that the location of the seventh singularity was in the early dynasty era..." Fujimaru Rika nodded again and again, telling the information that she still remembered firmly.
"Well, I know this, but for such a long history, it is still very difficult to observe and determine the specifics, and it will take a certain amount of time..." The almighty genius nodded lightly, "Of course, this information It would be very helpful to allow us to lock the seventh singularity faster.”
The last banquet could not be described as lighthearted and happy, but rather awkward.
After all, things like "laughing away grievances" are easier said than done, especially when the two groups of people who had been beaten to death before were somewhat embarrassed to meet each other. For example, they always had some grudges towards Lancelot and Gawain's Knights of the Round Table.
And the crown assassin has been directly repatriated before...
The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows has always been absent-minded, distracted from time to time, and glanced at the magician every now and then, as if she couldn't help but want to go forward and challenge...
In addition to Mordred's absence, King Arthur didn't show up for the whole process. I don't know what he was doing. >
But fortunately there were no ups and downs, they came back successfully, and at the last moment, the monster magician who flew from the parallel world told them very important and precious information, which is probably the most valuable harvest.
As for whether Miss Skaha will challenge that monster in the end, and whether the "father and son" who are filial and filial will repeat history, they have not had time to see.
But there should be no problem, no matter what choices they make in the final time, they probably won't be able to keep any records, so let them vent... And Chaldeas 's observations show that the sixth singularity has indeed disappeared.
"By the way, there is another piece of good news. I found more possibilities in the list of summonable spiritual base records, and now we have a much greater chance of getting help at the next singularity. "Da Vinci remembered something and said winking at the two girls.
"Is it Mr. Gawain and the others? And Mordred?"
"Yes, but there are more than four Knights of the Round Table, guess what..."
"Could it be... King Arthur?" Fujimaru Rika asked with a subtle expression.
"That's not true, didn't the magician say that King Arthur, as his servant, has some of his abilities, so the uniqueness of the parallel world on King Arthur determines that it is almost impossible for her to be summoned additionally..." Da Vinci sighed.
If possible, she would also like to have such a god-level reinforcement, and it would be great if she could drag all that magician over as a permanent combat force.
"Wait, is it Mr. Bedwell?" Matthew suddenly cheered up and asked hopefully.
At the banquet, they also asked about Bedwell, and the answer was that Bedwell was not actually a Servant, but a human, or came from another parallel world.
From the end of another world, the possible IF line that appears because of the singularity is Bedwell who lives in the "IF that failed to return the holy sword to King Arthur". In order to atone for his sins and return the holy sword, he lived for fifteen hundred years, and finally exhausted himself in Avalon.
Although the protection of the holy sword gave him the effect of immortality, his spirit as a human being has been burned away in the lonely journey of immortality for 1500 years, and his soul is already burned out dregs. In the end, he turned into a human-shaped rock, and with his amazing obsession, he could not allow his own death.
was then discovered by Merlin in Avalon.
The Magician of Flowers made him stand up again, and gave him the strength to continue fighting and walking. The knight raised his broken knees and continued the journey of redemption and the mission of returning the holy sword.
However, because King Arthur was locked into the uniqueness of the parallel world by her master, there are only hopeless results at the end of the IF line, because Bedwell is destined to never be found in that parallel world. To that figure that exists...
Then the monster at the sixth singularity shot, observed this IF, and sympathetically led Bedwell from the end of the other world, giving desperate people the humble hope that they can finally find, Let the knight see the dead person who cannot exist again.
"That's right, maybe it was King Arthur's handsome decision, or maybe it was the achievements of this journey that made him a heroic spirit..." Da Vinci said with a smile, confirming Matthew's guess.
The two girls looked at each other and cheered at the same time.
…
…
At the same time, the singularity that has theoretically disappeared is still in the Tower of Glory.
But this time it wasn't the top floor, and the magician didn't continue to observe the planet's condition, but stayed in his room, looking at the things on the table in front of him with a contemplative expression. This is something that the little witch gave him not long ago. She clearly stated that it was something she brought with her after being summoned to the world. If it has any meaning... it must be to deliver this thing to him. .
It was a cabinet made of acacia wood wrapped with gold inside and outside. On the top of the cabinet were two angels made of gold. The two angels faced each other with wings enclosing a space, forming a very peculiar shape.
"Ark of the Covenant...this is really..."
A slight sigh sounded faintly in the room.
