Chapter Fifty-Six: Night Talk

Minette disappeared into thin air again. But before that, I also asked Xue Qiong for a pack of cigarettes.

Rin Tosaka was completely stunned, and Emiya Shirou would have performed a little better than him, after all, on the way back before, he had also seen Minette spiritualize in front of him.

"As you can see." Xue Qiong smiled and said, "To re-introduce, this is my real Servant, Minette, the rank is Assassin, and the Caster Nicholas I claimed before is just a bait we made." As for why you haven't found out all along, and now that she's spiritualized, your Archer can't see her, it's because my Servant class has a skill that has a relatively high level of breath blocking. ”

"You, you, you..." Rin Tosaka pointed at Xue Qiong, speechless. Now that I think about it, she almost became friends with this beautiful brown-skinned sister and competitor's Servant under the lead of Xiao Yun, and the other party is also the assassin rank that poses the greatest threat to the Master... Just thinking about it makes her feel palpitations.

Not caring about the reactions of the protagonists, Xue Qiong continued: "There is another thing that I have been hiding, that is, the real Caster has actually been killed by us a long time ago, but because of some coincidence, her soul has not entered the Holy Grail. Lancer, on the other hand, was summoned by Caster using the magician rank to violate the rules. ”

In a sense, Xue Qiong's initial statement of "killing the Master, but letting Lancer, as a Servant, escape", is really not a lie.

β€œSaber… was eaten, in order to protect us. Emiya Shirou interjected.

Emiya Shirou sat weakly on the tatami mat at this time, his head was also lowered, and his voice was very faint.

Rin Tosaka didn't have the heart to pursue Xue Qiong's concealment of the pit man, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "In this way, have all the seven Servants surfaced?" ”

At this stage, all the information known to Xue Qiong's side and the protagonist's faction is:

Lancer, originally summoned by Caster, later joined the command of the Dirty Inkstone. and the shape of the weapon, as well as the overlord he shouted, inferred that his real name is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.

Caster, no matter what's dead, and some of the remaining issues have been sorted out.

Rider fights under Shinji Makiri, but Xue Qiong's side and Rin Tosaka speculate that her real master is Sakura Makiri, but of course this is not told to Shirou Emiya. As for the real name, Xue Qiong and the others knew that it was Medusa, but they couldn't tell the protagonist about it yet, because he couldn't explain how he knew it.

Berserker, the servant of Eliasfil-von Einsberen, is brute force and thick-skinned, and a certain legal loli has already revealed that his real name is Hercules.

Together with the Assassin Minette summoned by Xue Qiong, Rin Tosaka's Archer, and the newly lost Saber of Emiya Shirou, all seven Heroic Spirits have already crossed paths with the protagonist's side.

In addition, this Holy Grail War, as the plot progresses, from the original seven-party chaotic war, it has strangely become a two-way confrontation between the protagonist's side and the Tong family, at most, it is to add the uncertain factors of the previous Jin Shanshan and Yanfeng Qili.

"That's right!" Xue Qiong said lightly: "Because of the previous incident on Yuanzang Mountain, we have all been wanted by the Axe Earning Department, starting tomorrow, I and the bald head will skip work, and Emiya Shirou should also need to skip school... It may also be blocked, so we may need to discuss a new location and a new way to contact us. ”

While Xue Qiong and the others were discussing, a spectacle appeared on the breakwater under the Dongmu Bridge, but fortunately there were no witnesses.

In the darkness, there were many crabs the size of thumbs, one by one, crawling ashore from the water, and then just waiting quietly, doing nothing, only occasionally adjusting their positions, and huddling into a denser mass with more companions. As time passed, more and more small crabs gradually gathered here, and in the dim light, if anyone paid attention to it, they could only see a slightly wriggling black shadow.

When Mr. Zhu escaped, the thousands of small crabs that turned into thousands were devoured by the black shadow, but most of them fled here. They pass through the city's drainage system, enter different sewers, are discharged into the sea, and then borrow the power of the tide to reach this predetermined hiding spot one by one.

Finally, the number of small crabs reached a critical point, and then a burst of light flashed, all the small crabs disappeared, and Mr. Zhu appeared in the place where there should have been the most crabs.

Among the thousands of crabs that look exactly the same, only one is carrying the soul of Mr. Zhu's body, the most important crab, when restored, it will become Mr. Zhu's brain, as long as this crab is alive, in theory, Mr. Zhu will definitely be resurrected. The other crabs, on the other hand, only rely on instinct and the cues imposed by the soul crab to act, and do not need to transform into specific body parts when recovering. It seems that Mr. Zhu's luck is really good, and he was not gambled by the most important doppelganger in the black shadow.

Mr. Zhu's current condition is really miserable, not to mention that the original fat fat body has become skinny, and even his entire left arm has not appeared after the reorganization.

With this kind of appearance, I really can't imagine that he turned out to be the terrifying fat man whose weight is absolutely proportional to his strength. As for his current size and weight, it was because the small crabs that were devoured by the black shadow still accounted for a part of the base after all, so that Mr. Zhu had to return to his human form in this state. If only three or two little crabs died, Mr. Zhu would still be in that cute fat form now.

Mr. Zhu tried to stand up, but after a few flutters, he still fell and almost didn't fall into the sea. It seems that when he returned to a human, there were still too few muscles arranged in his legs.

"Beacon..."Mr. Zhu used his remaining right arm to press the earring beacon hanging on his ear, and said with difficulty: "From my WOW character, 'Esai Niang', send a few bottles of life potions and magic potions that I can use now..."

After some time, Mr. Zhu climbed up from under the breakwater. His remaining limbs were a little more fleshy than when he had just recovered, but he was still skinny, and his left arm was still missing.

Take out a set of clothes from the storage space and put them on. Although it is obviously several sizes bigger, Mr. Zhu can't take care of these details at this time.

He needs to recover. Although it is possible to teleport the red and blue in the game, it is purely a helpless move to burn money. I don't know if it's intentional, but the space sets the teleportation price of recovery potions in each RPG game world very high.

The food in the storage space is all compressed food, all of which are cheap and not used, even if you barely replenish your energy and recover your body, you will definitely leave trouble. He had to find something that was really nutritious and had some "meaning" in itself in order to really solve the problem. For a person like him, who has been completely strengthened into the mystical side, his body not only needs to obtain energy and nutrients, but also needs some spiritual energy to replenish the magical energy.

For example, compressed biscuits and top-quality steaks with the same energy can be digested, converted into nutrients and absorbed, allowing him to recover some physical strength, but after eating some expensive things that have been poured into the chef's painstaking efforts, he can rest and meditate for a period of time and throw himself a healing touch to heal himself deeply, and even grow his left arm again.

I don't know if there are any five-star restaurants open at half past one in the morning...

Mr. Zhu took out a bank card from the storage space and put it in his jacket pocket.

Then, as he walked, he said to himself: "This is actually the Black Sakura Line, it's interesting and interesting, complete the above task, kill the guy who doesn't learn his lesson, and messes with the protagonist, and then let's try to win the Saber who was plucked out of his hair..."

Unlike Xue Qiong and his party, who didn't know anything about the main plot when they entered the plot world and could only guess and grope for the next plot, Mr. Zhu always knew all the plots of the Fater-staynight cherry line!

Of course, Xue Qiong couldn't discuss the plot with Mr. Zhu.

At this time, they were still in the living room of Emiya's house, discussing the next matter with Emiya Shirou and Rin Tosaka.

Sakura still hasn't returned, and Xue Qiong and Rin Tosaka finally stopped Shirou Emiya's idea of making a phone call to Makiri's house.

Everything that happened on Enzo Mountain, Xue Qiong and Emiya Shirou had already stated it to Rin Tosaka. The question that needs to be discussed now is where to go next, and how to deal with that terrifying shadow.

During this time, they made a phone call to the castle of Einzbelen, and Illya did not sleep. After explaining Minette and Saber to Elia, she asked if she had felt the spirit of a heroic spirit infused into her body. Unexpectedly, Illya actually said that she didn't feel anything, and asked Saber in a puzzled tone if she was really dead...

Then Emiya Shirou snatched the phone and said weakly that his spell was gone.

Listening to these conversations, Rin Tosaka also vaguely guessed what the body of the black shadow was, but she was still a more conscious person after all, and in her opinion, for the Tosaka family's obligation to manage the Fuyuki spirit vein, even if it was okay to kill her own sister with her own hands. Of course, she won't say that idea now.

So, about the matter of Sakura Makiri, Emiya Shirou was once again unconsciously kept in the dark.

As he sat back down on the coffee table, Rin Tosaka asked Xue Qiong, "You just said that your Servant won't be devoured by the dark shadow?" ”

"No, no, no, I didn't say that." Xue Qiong waved her hand, "Minette can only attack the black shadow, and in the process of the black shadow devouring her, there are some problems, and this situation cannot be regarded as an absolute law that can be replicated." ”

"Even so," Rin Tosaka sighed, "Now it seems that the biggest card that can deal with that thing is Miss Minette, right?" ”
