The glow, like the warm sun, illuminates the entire space in pure white.

"Welcome, Li Xiang. How did it feel to accept our commission for the first time? ”

Li Xiang rubbed his face and slapped it casually several times. Try to make yourself a little more energetic.

"Say it's good or not, say it's bad or not, it's always used to parting. Then again, would everyone who returns from a parallel fantasy world be so officially welcomed? ”

"Not really, normal veterans can easily get through most of the difficulties, but newcomers often have some small accidents due to their lack of experience, anyway, relying on one person's wisdom to solve the problem, for Li Xiangyou is the first time. In order to reduce the doubts that newcomers may have in some aspects and adjust their mentality, we may need to do a guiding job in the first few journeys through the world. ”

While relaxing and adapting to his original body, Li Xiang nodded, and at the same time asked the Bond God a question that had been bothering him for a long time - "Bond God, it just so happens that I have a question I want to ask you......"

"I want to hear about it."

"Previously, when I came into contact with the black mud overflowing from the Holy Grail in that world, the first thing I saw inside the Holy Grail was something that made me unbelievable. If what Emiya Kiritsugu sees is the 'Evil Grail' that will fulfill human wishes in the worst possible way—the evil consciousness that arises from the originally colorless Holy Grail that has been affected by all the evil Angola Manuel in this world. What I saw, then, was like a monster formed by a whirlpool of desire. ”

"The monster resembles a tentacle monster like a Void Beast, and it's also a wriggling mass of unknown things with tentacles. But in terms of giving people the feeling, the Void Beast is more like destruction, and the unknown thing I saw is completely evil. So I used all the magic I could to erase it directly in the Holy Grail. ”

Li Xiang said solemnly: "I don't think that such a thing should exist in the Holy Grail. ”

The Bond God agrees:

"Your concerns are correct. What you see in the Holy Grail is probably one of the main culprits for the collapse of the parallel world we arranged for you to go to, that is, the evil thoughts of people. ”

"Man's evil thoughts?"

Li Xiang repeated puzzled.

"Yes, as I said to you before, every parallel alternate world comes from people's common fantasy, and this fantasy is not fixed in many cases, but constantly changing."

"According to our research, a system of recreation based on the original world structure - called 'book' by enthusiasts - has deeply affected the original appearance of these things."

Of course, this kind of re-creation of the world by enthusiasts based on their love for certain characters is an interesting addition to the original worldview, and in a way, brainstorming can enrich the depth of a work. However, it is also littered with a lot of bad dross. ”

"Li Xiang, the world you went to was formed by the wide dissemination of a series of so-called 'books'."

"The story depicted by the author or painter of that series of books is a tentacle monster that can spread filth in the Holy Grail.,And the big and small female characters that appeared in the alternate city of Fuyuki City are all over the vulgar story.。 What's more, this series of evil stories is deliberately trafficked to minors. This is never a good thing. ”

Li Xiang raised his eyebrows:

"So, you sent me to that affected fantasy world to 'cut down the grass and eradicate the roots'?"

"Yes, Li Xiang, the world you are going to is the world outlined in the hearts of a large number of people who have read that set of faculties and picture albums, this world is closely related to the world of the original Holy Grail War, and when the one hiding in the Holy Grail, the Yin Demon who would have 'completely erupted' in the Fifth Holy Grail War, after being eliminated by you, the world in the hearts of those readers will become relatively clean."

"I didn't expect me to do a good deed?"

"In terms of results, it is inevitable. This is what we gods and spirits are working together to achieve - to protect people's spiritual homes, to keep them clean and noble against the invasion of the Void consciousness. ”

Li Xiang nodded slowly, but at the same time he had some doubts:

"But wouldn't that be too authoritarian? Why is it up to you to define what people's inner world should look like, and does this deny human freedom? ”

The God of Bonds was quick to respond:

"As you said, what a person should live is that person's own freedom. However, one of the foundations on which human society is formed is that each person needs to sacrifice some of his or her own freedom for the stable operation of the entire human society. ”

"Everybody only does what they like, everybody is able to do whatever they want, that's not the true form of freedom. If this is the case, human beings will not form a so-called society if they exist so far, but everyone will live their own life, fight with heaven and earth, and have endless fun fighting with people. ”

"And in terms of the overall value orientation of society, of course, we can't find a model that everyone will agree with and then let everyone live like that. For example, let all those who play football become Ronaldo and Messi; All Peking Opera actors have become Mei Lanfang; All teachers imitate Confucius...... However, there is a general, vague, conventional, and common standard of judgment that is in line with the minds of most people. ”

"People don't decide a child's life based on their academic performance, maybe the academic performance is not very good, but he is very talented in drawing, we don't say that the child is a bad child; People don't dismiss a child's whole personality just because it's ugly, and we don't say that the child is a bad child. ”

"But a child habitually steals and habitually lies, and that's why we think he's a bad boy. Freedom and the diversification of value orientations and ways to realize the value of life should not be a fig leaf for bad people to hide themselves. Human society has its own set of criteria for judging what is good and what is bad. We have only implemented this set of evaluation criteria through action. ”

Li Xiang touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Li Xiang, thank you very much for your action this time. If there is no emergency in a short period of time, we will not bother you anymore. If there are no other problems, next I will send your soul back to your body. Some of the other privileges of signing a contract with us will be transferred to you at the same time. You'll soon find out what it is. ”

Li Xiang nodded, and then, he turned into a "lightning" and disappeared into this pure white space.

The pure white light gradually condensed, forming a human figure.

With a wave of his finger, the silk thread of the divine thought chased the lightning that Li Xiang turned into and came to the other side of the world. It is connected with Li Xiang, who has crossed the barriers of the world of consciousness.

Like Nan Ke's dream, Li wanted to wake up again in his bedroom.

As soon as he woke up, Li Xiang covered his forehead,

"Hmm...... A little dizzy. ”

The symptoms of dizziness are not severe and quickly dissipate. And after the symptoms of dizziness completely subsided, Li Xiang felt as if there was something more in his consciousness.

When trying to touch the "unknown object" with his own consciousness, Li Xiang had a feeling similar to clicking on a certain software on a computer screen.

"Welcome, Contractor No. 4164615. Valkyrie is here for you. ”

"Huh?"

Countless question marks surged in Li Xiang's heart.

Valkyrie, he had heard, were Odin's handmaidens in Norse and Germanic mythology, whose name literally translates to "women looking for the dead." They rode horses to patrol with the Wild Hunt, or flew into the battlefield in the form of swans to collect fallen warriors for Valhalla.

As a guide to those heroes who died on the battlefield, Valkyrie brought them into Valhalla. They stepped forward and gave the inductee a kiss. The undead were then introduced into Valhalla, where they were also responsible for serving the warriors assembled in Valhalla. From then on, the warriors lived happily together in Valhalla, feasting at night and by day repeatedly participating in the battle in which they sacrificed their lives and survived for centuries. With this in this way, he continued to hone and maintain his strongest combat effectiveness, knowing that one day under the guidance of Valkyrie, he would go to the battlefield of Ragnarok.

Li Xiang could probably guess that this so-called Valkyrie was similar to the navigation elves of these contractors. And the name given to such a navigation elf "Valkyrie" is probably the subtle evil taste of the gods of all worlds.

Lying on the bed in the bedroom, after a period of exploration, Li Xiang basically figured out what the use of this "Valkyrie" similar to a navigation elf was.

While traveling through other worlds, this is a personal terminal similar to the main machine's teleportation connection, and if you get into trouble during the mission, through Valkyrie, you can send the problems encountered in the different worlds back to the "headquarters of the gods of the worlds" - if there is such a place - and then the power or power is in charge.

When you encounter a problem that is not clear but has little impact, and you don't need to solve it immediately, you can also upload the problem to the "forum" through Valkyrie, and the majority of heroes can brainstorm and solve it together.

And through Valkyrie, not only can they communicate with each other, but they can also reach the intention of forming a team.

In order to ensure the success rate of sealing the space gap and destroying the invading void forces and the "creatures" of the void, most of the Heroic Spirits operate in teams, and the most common way to form a team is to post a recruitment or job search notice through Valkyrie, and then make an appointment to negotiate in person to reach a cooperation intention.

In addition to the above points, Valkyrie is also the key to opening the door to the world of Valhalla.

The Valhalla world here is a small world created by the gods of bonds, realms, and other gods through their respective divine powers, and on weekdays, those heroic spirits who are completely different from Li Xiang and only preserve their souls and concepts live there.

Although he was curious about the so-called Valhalla world, Li Xiang still suppressed his curiosity for the time being.

During the twenty years that consciousness remained in Fuyuki City, he made a decision.

He plans to drop out of school.

This decision has been brewing in my heart for a long time.

He is now in his sophomore year, and although his life as a student is good, it has completely failed to keep up with his current mentality and rhythm.

It has only been a few months since the beginning of the year, and psychologically he has completely become a middle-aged and elderly person. And because of this special opportunity, he has basically achieved financial freedom.

And from time to time, he let his consciousness wander far away for decades, and every time he returned, he felt derailed from the whole world.

Now such a state of life has made Li Xiang feel a sense of separation. It's as if his world is clearly divided into two parts, and there is no intersection with each other at all.

Instead of letting yourself suffer like this, it is better to be open-minded, give up the identity of a student who has been left far behind, and start again.

Since the beginning of the halberd world, he has longed for a kind of life in the city. And this thought became clearer and clearer when I was working at Siyuan Bar.

In the middle of the downtown alley, open a store that is not big or small.

It's best to be in a place where there are no more people, no less, so that as long as the door is closed, the whole store can become very quiet, so that customers who are willing to slow down can slowly enjoy a cup of coffee and a glass of wine.

If you can choose, this store is best divided into two floors.

The first floor is a bar, a café, and a teahouse. Anything he knows how to make can be written on the sign and wine list, and in addition to these drinks, he can also make interesting desserts and even meals according to his mood. But these things that are not written on the surface must be done according to his heart. Do whatever you have today, and don't accept orders. If you meet a customer or friend who is destined to chat, you can even entertain them for free.

The second floor is separated from the first floor, as a place to live, it is best to have a balcony in the sunny direction, after closing every day, or during the lunch break, on the recliner on the second floor, sniffing the faint soap fragrance of the washed clothes in the sun, quietly reading two pages, feeling the sun, the breeze or the drizzle and snow that sometimes falls, if you are tired, lie on the chaise longue or go back to the bedroom bed to squint for a while, until the door opens again in the afternoon.

After experiencing all kinds of life, Li Xiang found that a person can only find his own little happiness in his favorite lifestyle.

And before starting a new life, he still needs to do a lot of preparation.

Withdraw from school and sell or rent out the newly purchased apartment you have now. Find a suitable store in a suitable location in a city to rent or buy, decorate and decorate the storefront, and apply for various certificates and certificates.

But for Li Xiang now, these are not very difficult.
