Thirty-five - shells of the human type
Saying goodbye to Nao at the reception in the lobby, Emiya Shirou continued to lead the two little girls deeper into the depths.
After taking the elevator down a few floors, as soon as they stepped out of the elevator door, the three of them felt as if they had stepped into a completely different world.
Because it was underground, there weren't even a single window along the road, let alone the sunlight coming in through it.
The air necessary for man is supplied only by a vast technique, and the only thing through which he can see is the faint light that emanates from the lamps on the walls.
Walking in the dim environment, stepping on the corridor made of black marble, one after another loud and deep sound came from the soles of the feet, obviously down-to-earth, but it also gave people a gloomy and terrifying feeling, as if even if something unknown suddenly appeared in front of them, it was not surprising.
The dim light makes it impossible to see how long the road ahead is. Along the road, there was not even a single figure, which not only looked lifeless, but also added a strange feeling.
Time passed unconsciously, and the three of them walked forward step by step, but the distance from the front did not shorten until the end, as if this corridor would never end.
Sakura's two little hands had already grasped Rin Tosaka's palm and the corner of Emiya Shirou's clothes respectively when they stepped out of the elevator door. At this moment, even Rin Tosaka finally couldn't stand this strange sense of depression, and couldn't help but talk to Emiya Shirou in front of him, "I always feel that the appearance here is very different from my original imagination." ”
"So, I've told you a long time ago, don't expect anything from here, right?"
Although, deliberately ignoring the two girls in the back, it is actually a test of whether the other party can tolerate this environment. But seeing that Rin Tosaka finally couldn't help but talk to him, and the little hand pulling the corner of his clothes couldn't stop shaking, Emiya Shirou was embarrassed to ignore the two little girls behind him.
After all, it's still a little early for them
With a silent sigh in his heart, Emiya Shirou turned around and took the hands of the two girls, and then continued to walk forward slowly, and asked Rin Tosaka, "So, according to your original idea, what should the inside of the clock tower look like?"
"Does that need to be said?" Almost without thinking about it, Rin Tosaka replied, "Of course, the bright lights, the large auditorium that can accommodate more than hundreds of people, and the mountains of books make people feel like they have stepped into a library in the middle of a vast ocean!" Ah, at best, there will be a burst of discussions about magic. ”
"You're talking about the university there? It doesn't look like the inside of a tower, does it?"
Regarding Rin Tosaka's statement, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but laugh dumbly, causing Rin Tosaka in the back to pout and pout, but it also swept away the original gloomy atmosphere in the corridor.
"The so-called timepiece tower, although the interior of the interior through someone's technique makes the interior space larger than the outside, but after all, the space is limited, and it is impossible to accommodate the teaching hall and the large library you mentioned at the same time." There was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth under the mask, and Emiya Shirou patiently explained to Rin Tosaka and Makiriro, "Excluding the part on the ground that is used as a façade, entertainment, and allowing different magicians to accept commissions, if you really want to describe it, this is just an ordinary underground workshop." It's not that the school-like things you are talking about don't exist, but there is another place. Originally, to this day, the name "Chronograph Tower" does not mean just one tower, but an entire department of the association. It may be said that this is only the headquarters of the "Clock Tower", that is, one of its strongholds. ”
"But, even if that's the case," Glancing at the corridor in front of him, which seemed to be far from halfway through, Rin Tosaka glared at Emiya Shirou like a cat, "This corridor is too weird, isn't it?" If this is all over the tower headquarters, wouldn't the people who usually stay here complain?"
"Oh, of course not." After a pause, Emiya Shirou stretched out a finger and shook it, "Because only this layer is special." ”
"I'll just say, if every place is as weird as this corridor, how can the people here be?" As he spoke, Rin Tosaka suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Emiya Shirou and asked, "You mean this is the only layer that looks like this?!!"
"Ah, to be precise, it should be "because of someone's bad taste, so this layer is subjected to a technique that extends the space and interferes with the senses". Emiya Shirou nodded in agreement.
"But, but, it interferes with the senses or something, we haven't felt anything since we came in."
"Oh, of course. If it can be felt by the practitioner, then how can it be called a superior technique? And," he took Kiri's hand and used a little force, and Emiya Shirou smiled confidently, "This kind of low-grade defective product has no effect on me." ”
"Senior"
Feeling the care from Emiya Shirou, Sakura felt a burst of warmth in her heart. Suddenly, it was as if even the endless dark corridor in front of him was no longer terrifying.
Just when she wanted to get closer to Emiya Shirou again, suddenly, Emiya Shirou's hand holding the two had already let go. Just when Kirizakura and Rin Tosaka didn't know what was going on, they saw Emiya Shirou's eyes suddenly freeze, put his hand to his lips and make a silent gesture, and then slowly stood up straight and faced forward.
"Redhead is blue?!"
"Shirou-chan - !!!!!"
Exceptional sight, catching a familiar strand of red hair in the distance.
However, just before Emiya Shirou didn't even finish halfway through his words, with a loud cry, a red figure had already crashed over like a rocket, knocking Emiya Shirou's entire body into the air for more than ten meters.
P.S.1: Well, for the sake of avoiding harmony, the author has used some more tactful, a little more embellishment, and switched the way of using words to speak. Eh, it's better not to ask or discuss something, whether it's here or somehow, because as far as I know, it's been done now, um, well, what's in charge, what's in it.
Well, the place where I live, the city, has recently been facing a very important thing about the future of the whole place, so important that it can even be described as a turning point in this place. About the details of this matter Well, it's inconvenient for the author to say here, and if you're interested, I don't think I need to say what I can do, the main thing is to flip through something in the virtual world, um, I didn't say anything
Back to the topic, as the well-hemmed, resident of this place, in the face of this matter, seeing that this place has become so um, unstable dìng, it is difficult to calm down in my heart. In particular, the author Jun also has a lot of friends and acquaintances, well, involved in this matter, during this time, in addition to mental and physical fatigue, some more well, when experiencing that (four-word word), by um, the kind of occupation (two words) of buying and selling things (two words) The first word (pinyin sh head) How to pronounce it? In the face of such an environment, the author's mood is well, it is difficult to calm down, and in addition, his own schedule is also well, there is a large range of well, changes, not to mention the determination of the heart to code words.
To be honest,This chapter is the author's left and right to make up the time code out.,The time of the code is relatively broken.,I hope the connection between the words doesn't violate the harmony much.,Because things have been going on Well.,It's been a while.,It's not the last two days that the author Jun is upset.。 The reason why this chapter is still out is because the author Jun I don't want to take this well.,Event,As an excuse for not doing anything at all.,I hope at least a chapter will be coded out.,Make an explanation to the people waiting to see.,But I'm sorry for the future.,There's only this one this week.。
I think the next few days should be um, key, because such um, activities, generally don't last too long. Although the author Jun is soft-spoken, he is at a loss in his heart when he is in such a well, situation. The only thing I know is um, somewhere it doesn't seem to be the same anymore um, what's that.
Eh, don't worry about the author's well, it's safe. Because the author-kun will not do um, some, um, drastic things, and the author's position is also relatively ... Well, ordinary. But all in all, this book only has one update this week, and as for next week, I hope that one will pass.
