Chapter 965 The Gate of Destiny on the Boundary Line (2)
——2004.8.13——
"[I'm already dead]?... Well, then there's nothing we can do about it."
After Lin Hao's projection appeared and greeted Ryunosuke, he unconsciously tried to clean up the messy room, but couldn't touch anything. He finally stopped and said with some loss.
Ryunosuke's fingertips trembled, but for the moment he couldn't think of how to comfort her.
The current "Lin Hao" was "sealed" by Yade, who no longer had the Holy Spear in her when she "dissipated".
In scientific terms, she is now a piece of brainwave that can be sent to the past using a "time machine".
In magic terms, it is "soul".
In short, her current state is a "heroic spirit", and that little cube is her "heroic spirit seat".
However, her condition is the same as that of the soldiers in Iskandar's Noble Phantasm: The Unique Barrier "The King's Army". She has no job or weapons. Without the Noble Phantasm and equipment provided by Gilgamesh, those soldiers would not have been able to deal with them.
The Demon God Pillar can only be piled up with people.
Could this be the turning point that Ah Cha was talking about? But wouldn’t this make the problem more troublesome?
After confirming Lin Hao's condition, Ryunosuke thought quickly.
There are currently three ways to allow her to continue living like a normal person: "Summoning a Servant", "Fusioning a Simulated Servant" and "Possessing a Simulated Servant".
The problem with becoming a Servant is that even if she can be summoned in this capacity, who can she defeat? If she has no fighting ability, why would Alaya send her there? How shameless?
The pseudo-server needs to integrate with others, not to mention that it is actually another person, whether it will be awkward or not. In terms of synchronization rate, there are probably not many people in the world who can be as stupid as her.
As for the "Mimikyu Servant" that heroic spirits or gods choose to use because they are too strong to come directly... On this, we should reconsider how to make her capable of fighting.
Other solutions, such as simply sending her to the past, or asking the Clock Tower for help, are not within the scope of Ryunosuke's consideration. The former will cause her to fall into an infinite loop, and he will have no intersection with her at all. As for
The latter...it's not that easy to be a guinea pig.
"Hmm...that's weird," Lin Haozheng was lightly stamping his feet on the floor at this time: "Why can't it fall to the center of the earth even though it can't touch things?"
"[Of course it's because you are the heroic spirit of 'Alaya', and 'Gaia' won't let you go down.]" Yade responded.
"Huh? I'm a heroic spirit? Why?" Lin Hao's eyes widened.
She is quite self-aware.
"[How do I know?]" Yade replied: "[Anyway, you must have something special, otherwise in a city as big as Fuyuki, so many people die every day due to illness and accidents, wouldn't their souls all be lost to me?
Taken in?】"
What’s special?
"Okay, let me ask you," Ryunosuke asked: "Do you know why the command spell appears on the back of your hand, and can it be used to summon other people?"
"I don't know. I was just thinking that I hoped there was a way to help Ryunosuke, and he appeared on his own." Lin Hao shook his head.
"[This is a 'Master' trait, not a 'Heroic Spirit' trait,]" Yard explained: "[Unlike the situation in the 'Holy Grail War', 'Alaya' may suffer annihilation in the entire human group.
When the time comes, Heroic Spirits will be sent to try to save them, and the one who gets the Command Spell at that time is the chosen 'Master'.】"
"Save the world?" Ryunosuke thought about the previous situation. Even if he really left the Demon God Pillar alone at that time, with their strength, it would be too difficult to destroy the world.
"[The way they destroy the world may be different from what you think]," Yad said: "[You know, according to legend, Solomon had seventy-two demon pillars, but you only defeated three.]
"
"...You want to say that there are still sixty-nine demon pillars hidden in corners of the world?" Ryuzosuke frowned.
"[No,]" Yad replied: "[Do you still remember? That Mashu, she claimed to be from the 'future Chaldea', so our place is the 'past' for her, which proves that 'Chaldea'
You already have the full version of 'Time Machine'.】"
"so……"
"[So she used the time machine to go back to the 'past' in order to save the 'future' that had been 'destroyed'.]" Yade said decisively.
"Deny the past, interfere with the present, and reverse the future," Ryunosuke murmured to himself, "So, this is just her first stop? How to judge that things here are over?"
"[Because she became a heroic spirit, is this a sufficient explanation?]" Yade shot an arrow above Lin Hao's head.
Coming from the distant future, he sacrifices himself just to save the regrets that have happened in the past...Why does this story sound familiar?
"So if her mission is completed..." Ryunosuke thought of the time period when Mash appeared. Before everything happened, there was no magic, magic and heroic spirits in the world.
"[At that time, the 'destroyed future' of her world will be reversed, and other worlds that were once affected by the Demonic Pillar will return to normal.]" Yade turned around a few times: "[Become'
There has never been a world where the Demonic Pillar appeared.】"
Therefore, although I have caused some troubles by using "space-time text messages" and "time machines", those troubles actually existed originally and were not caused by my actions.
"[Thinking about it further, didn't Matthew say that she and her master got separated? Did she get separated from her master first, or -]" Yade looked over there with an "unclear" expression.
Lin Hao: "[——Or did her master suddenly disappear?]"
"So, I should go with her through the time machine?" Ryunosuke suddenly realized: "As long as everything can be solved, Xiaohao will become the same."
"[Children can be taught.]" Yad shook his head up and down, as if nodding his head in praise. Listening to this tone, if he had hands and a beard, he would definitely be stroking his beard with one hand and fanning the fan with the other.
"Then, the last question." Ryuzosuke paused: "Why did Gray say you like to talk nonsense and let me just hit you?"
"[This...]" Yade froze for a moment: "[Didn't you realize that what I said before was all conjecture without any evidence?]"
Does it seem like this is really the case? Ryunosuke thought carefully about why he believed Yade's words, and then found that most of its descriptions were consistent with what he saw in the "Starry Sky" and the "Horroscopic Mirror Maze" when he "traveled".
With this evidence, I unconsciously agree with its inference.
However, for those magicians in the Clock Tower who cannot retain their memories when the world line changes, isn't this statement without evidence and meaningless?
"I'm talking about Ad, what is the thing that Gray usually says to you the most? 'Holy Spear, pull out the anchor'?" Ryunosuke asked with a little smile.
"['It's so noisy' and——]" Yade's voice was muffled: "['Shut up'.]"
