Chapter 122: A Lost Dream
My name is Lin Hao,
It's not the hacked one.

"Well, yes, we're already close to the Willow Cave Temple, not too close, as you said."
"Well, you may not be able to intervene in the next battle, why don't you go back to the magic workshop and hide first?"
"That's right...... Then you be careful. ”
The off-road vehicles purchased by Emiya Kiritsugu are equipped with contacts that can communicate with each other within a certain range, and Alice Phil is operating them somewhat unfamiliarly to contact Maiya Kuyu, who originally planned to persuade Maiya to leave the battlefield, but was resolutely refused.
In a war between magicians, it is very likely that both parties will be discovered by using magic means to contact each other, but the technological products that use radio technology will not, and in this important battle, if she has the key information that she can provide to Kiritsugu at any time, it will definitely gain a great advantage.
"Well, Kiritsugu, I'm resting," Alice Phil looked through the rearview mirror at Kiritsugu, who was slightly hanging her head and seemed to be closing her eyes, "He said he wanted to recharge for the next decisive battle." ”
“Saber? In good condition. Alice Fell smiled at the microphone: "She won't deliberately oppose Kiritsugu's arrangement, don't worry." ”
"It's not in line with knighthood to hide and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack, but as long as you can destroy all enemies, it's fine." Saber · Lily nodded: "This is called 'winning and losing', Miss Lin Hao said." ”
“…… Well. Alice Phil looked at Kiritsugu who was taking a nap in the back seat with a somewhat complicated expression, this time it was not only a decisive battle, but also a mission to find Lin Hao and bring it back safely. Can Alter really do it in the case of this important combat power?
?? :?? :??
Speeding up or stagnating the flow of time in an inherent barrier that is not interfered with by the world is the magic of the Emiya family.
Although its scope of influence is only within the inherent barrier, it is also the same as the legendary Fifth Law [Time Interference], and the fourth generation of the Emiya family, the fourth generation of the Emiya family, who carried it forward, was pursued by both the Magic Association and the Templar Church.
If the flow of time is infinitely accelerated in a very small barrier with almost zero inhibition, what will happen to this tiny universe when it reaches its end? While there is a good chance that the barrier will break or the person who casts the barrier will die, it also has a high chance of opening the door to the root.
However, since it is not possible to achieve "infinite acceleration", it will still take time for that small world to reach the end, and if you quantify it, it will take about three hundred and eighty-four years, and this is still if you maintain the acceleration without the additional cost of eating and sleeping.
After being stumped by the unexpected threshold of "lifespan", Emiya had no choice but to turn his research goal to immortality or even immortality, and after removing the unfavorable restrictions on immortality that would interrupt the "acceleration" process, prevent the use of magic, and not inherit memories, he finally chose the method of "Deathapostle", and after getting rid of his pursuers, he conducted research on the island of Eminmigo in the South Pacific.
…… Apparently, the study failed.
Emiya Kiritsugu stood aside, looking at the rampaging girl with red eyes and blood-stained clothes, who was eating chickens in the chicken shed, and the helpless teenager in front of her.
"Kill...... Kill me! In order to stop herself from attacking "Kelly", the girl who turned into a beast frantically tore her uncontrollably outstretched arm towards "Kelly".
"No, no, there must be a way......" The boy shook his head, took a few steps back, and then turned and ran.
Ah, that's right, that's it, leaving the source of the infection alone and running to inform the Templar Church affiliates, only to attract both the Church and the Magicians' Guild, and then turn a peaceful island into a hell on earth.
Emiya Kiritsugu frowned and walked over trying to pick up the dagger that had fallen on the sand, and as he had done countless times before, it passed like a phantom.
He didn't have to worry about it because he dreamed about it, but if he dreamed something too real and didn't have a break, it would have a devastating effect on the decisive battle that followed, and Kiritsugu groaned for a moment and decided to try to wake himself up.
"Oops, isn't this Kiritsugu's first love?" A familiar voice interrupted Kiritsugu's movements.
Is that...... Lin Hao? Although her appearance and tone are very similar, and she is still wearing a white and gold-rimmed silk dress that Alice Phil specially chose for Lin Hao, she is not sure because she is not in a wheelchair.
Plus, that's not the first love.
"Whew! Oh! What's even more terrifying is that "Lin Hao" is not a phantom like himself, and in the surprised gaze of Emiya Kiritsugu, Xia Lei, who is a dead apostle, pounced and bit Lin Hao's neck fiercely.
Bang! Bang! Kiritsugu subconsciously drew his gun and fired, but the bullet also passed through like a phantom.
"Uh-huh...... Fortunately, it bited directly, if you are ready to scratch it with your claws first, I won't agree......" "Lin Hao" didn't care about being bitten by Xia Lei at all, and closed his eyes and hugged her with his backhand: "Be good, slow down." ”
Under Kiritsugu's stunned gaze, Xia Lei gradually transformed from a raging Dead Apostle back to a human, and if it weren't for the blood stains on the white dress, even the twisted joints and wounds from self-harm had been restored.
"Huh? I'm not ......" Xia Leisong spoke, took two steps back in surprise, and looked at "Lin Hao" in front of her with surprise and apology.
"Bluff...... Roar......" "Lin Hao" let out a low roar when Xia Lei was turned into a dead apostle before he opened his eyes, which were a pair of vertical pupils emitting a strange red light.
Completely Deadcast...... This is the method of "carrying" in her wishes? Is she the Lin who has successfully obtained the Holy Grail in some world online? Kiritsugu stopped trying to wake himself up and prepared to keep watching.
"You look so delicious—" Lin Hao said through gritted teeth, causing Xia Lei to take a few steps back.
"—just kidding." She reached out as if to scratch her head, but was speechless for a moment by the twisted joints and sharp nails on her hands: "Well, you get out of this island quickly, wherever you go, Emiya Kiritsugu, aka Kelly, that idiot is about to lure the guy who hunted down their father and son - don't think about saying goodbye to him, if he sees you, you'll instantly change back to what you were just now." ”
"That'...... What about you? Xia Lei asked hesitantly.
"My words...... I have to save his mother, this shape is quite suitable, and it seems that there is no need to eliminate it for the time being. "Lin Hao" tilted his head, and suddenly bounced a few steps backwards and disappeared into the jungle.
"......" Xia Lei only hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran in another direction.
Wait a minute! Kiritsugu, who heard something from the words of "Lin Hao", tried to chase after him, but dreams and such things would not be reasonable.
?? :?? :??
Over the Atlantic, on the Airbus A300 plane flying from Paris to New York, a live version of "Resident Evil" or "The Walking Dead" is being staged.
A magician, Otter Polzak, has developed the ability to control the killer bees from turning their attackers into deadcasts, which is not the kind of transformation that Emiya has studied with no side effects other than prolonging life, but is a pure weapon.
He transformed humans into the lowest Dead Apostles, the Ghouls, and used them to control them, resulting in the mad magician being hunted down by both the Templar Church and the Magic Guild, and even the legendary True Ancestor of the Dead Apostles was alarmed and sent his high-ranking Dead Apostles to hunt him down.
Compared to the utterly useless stupid research of Emiya, Polzak's act of indiscriminately creating low-level minions of the Bloodline and controlling them in battle was an insult to the Bloodline.
Eventually, Polzak was cornered in Europe and did his best to board a plane bound for the United States, but was still followed by at least three pursuers, one of whom was Natalia Carneski.
She doesn't belong to any organization, but she receives bounty announcements from those organizations, and it was she who saved Kiritsugu Emiya, who was almost caught by the Magicians Guild, and raised and trained him over the years.
“…… I said Kiritsugu, so that the next time we meet, we won't talk about it. Natalia had just finished the call with the young Kiritsugu, and her face was still a little red, after all, the child she raised since she was a child suddenly changed her name to her mother, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Was that what she was looking at at the time? Kiritsugu stood in the corner of the cockpit of the plane, looking at this female elder with inexplicable emotions who had been a teacher and friend for many years.
The reason why she suddenly changed her words was because her next past self was going to use ground-to-air missiles to destroy her along with all the ghouls on the entire plane......
Sting-poof-boom-boom-
"Ah, this mission is quite easy." The door of the cockpit of the plane was first torn open with a huge opening, and then it was kicked open directly, and then the red-eyed "Lin Hao" walked in.
Compared to the island, her appearance was completely different, not only was she covered in armor-like armor, the sharp claws of the elders on her hands, and even her hair had been transformed into countless small snake-like tentacles like Medusa—she looked like a high-ranking Dead Apostle.
"Calm down." casually dialed the bullet fired by Natalia, "Lin Hao" glanced at the empty cabin and threw her a parachute bag: "Jump down, I'm going to destroy this plane." ”
"Who are you?" Natalia didn't pick up the umbrella bag, still holding a gun at "Lin Hao".
"Dead Apostle Progenitor No.3, 'Queen of Blades'." "Lin Hao" said thoughtfully: "If you don't plan to leave, I don't mind blowing up fireworks with you." ”
Lied, Kiritsugu thought, the third Death Apostle's True Ancestor position was forever vacant, it was waiting for that "Type-Moon" to awaken, but it didn't matter if it was pretending to be.
“…… All right. Through the wheelhouse door behind the "Queen of Blades", Natalia saw that the entire cabin was riddled with holes, all the ghouls and killer bees were in pieces, and then looked at the sharp nails on the queen's hands, and finally decided to follow her advice.
"Hmph, Kiritsugu is really troublesome, has he contracted the misfortune of the whole world?" After Natalia parachuted away, the "Queen of Blades" sat in the captain's seat, and all kinds of strange peripherals gradually disappeared, and finally changed back to Lin Hao's original appearance.
"But Natalia is not a fool, will she not know if she did it when she sees an RPG? So this operation is both unfortunate and does not change history, it is perfect~" The girl boasted while studying the dashboard of the plane.
Then, together with the plane, it exploded into fireworks in the next instant.
16:35:21
"Hehe......" Kiritsugu Emiya, who was in the back seat of the SUV, chuckled lowly.
"Huh? Did Kiritsugu dream of something good? Alice Phil in the driver's seat turned back with Saber.
"No," Kiritsugu set his eyes on Yanagito Temple, "I just feel like I'm being underestimated." ”
