I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

A group of people.

On the windy and sandy land, there are more than ten people wearing khaki cloaks.

Some of these people fell to the ground and some were standing.

Most of those who fell on the ground were scattered around Shenji, while those who were standing were gathered around another person.

Familiar black coat, burly figure, serious and depressed face.

Araya Zonglian!

This guy is actually still here? Wasn't it "burned" to ashes by the "root"?

But even if it doesn't "burn" to "ash", it won't last long.

Among the cloaked men around him, one stabbed his chest with a sword; another cut him in half with a sword; the last one ducked behind him, aimed a classic submachine gun at his back, then pulled the trigger on the squad, killing him. The burly body was beaten into a sieve.

It wasn't until this moment that Araya Zongren realized what he was doing and yelled as if he was waking up from a dream:

"It's you inhibiting lackeys again!!! Why? Why do you have to stop me every time!"

"The 'Vortex of Roots' is not something that humans should touch." The man who fired the gun said indifferently.

"I won't give up, I'll get there one day!"

This is not the first time Araya Soren has said this, nor is it the first time he has been stopped.

"No matter how many times you go, we're going to stop you."

Using an Odachi sword, the woman who looked taller than the man slowly sheathed the sword.

The moment the sword was sheathed, Araya's soul returned to "stillness".

The next moment, the woman leaned forward slightly, drawing her sword and aiming it at Shinji.

The latter spread his hands to show that he was not hostile: "Well, what, I was simply involved. I have no interest in reaching the 'Vortex of Roots', and I am now looking for a way home. If it is convenient, can you tell me You should know the method of my return, the guardians of Alaya."

I don't know why, but those who go to the "source" are blocked by the inhibitory force. Looking at the withered sandy desert around them, the aura of servants emanating from the three of them, the cloaks covering their entire bodies, and the exposed brown skin, Shinji was certain that this was the legendary scavenger with suppressive power, the guardian of Alaya's side. .

The existence of guardians is similar to that of heroic spirits. The difference is that most of these people do not rise to the throne of heroic spirits based on their achievements in life. Instead, they form a contract with the restraining force for some reason and hand over their souls to Alaya in order to cheat. Way to ascend to the Seat of Heroes. As a price, these people will always be driven by Alaya to act in order to eliminate threats or potential threats to humans, and will never be able to escape.

There are exceptions, such as Artoria, who made a contract with their heroic bodies and restraints, but the number is very small.

The guardians did not listen to Shenji's explanation. As soon as he finished speaking, the guardians with modern firearms came behind them and fired mercilessly with the micro-guns in their hands.

"Hey, listen to what people are saying." Shenji complained and ducked away.

At this time, there was a violent sound of breaking wind above the head, and dense swords fell like rain.

Shinji supported the ground with one hand, rolled sideways and activated the "King of Execution", colliding with the rafters and swords. He was very familiar with this aspect as he had fought with Gilgamesh against the Noble Phantasm.

However, just as he deflected a wave of arrows, the last female guardian wielding the sword was already approaching, and the sword in her hand was unsheathed at such a high speed that even Shinji could not see.

Even though Shenji used the fastest speed to display the "Shield of Athena" defense, he still could not block this terrible sword. Not only was the shield cut open, but even Shinji himself was affected by the black sword energy emitted from the tip of the knife, and a hole was opened in his abdomen.

The female guardian seemed not to have expected that her ultimate move would miss, and her movements were sluggish for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shinji detonated the "Shield of Athena" without hesitation, blowing away the guardians.

Relying on the protection of rafters and the blood of his true ancestors to survive the explosion, the young man waved his hand and pushed away the surrounding wind and sand, looking at the three guardians surrounding him in a weird expression.

"I think I should get to know you. Emiya Kiritsugu, Emiya Shirou, Okita Souji, um... maybe it would be more appropriate to add Alter?"

The movements of the three people stopped at the same time, proving that Shen Er's guess was correct.

Like heroic spirits, guardians also exist above the world line. Becoming a winner in life in this world line does not mean that oneself in other world lines will not become a lackey of restraint. In particular, people with lofty ideals like Shirou and Kiritsugu were favored by Alaya the most.

The evaluation of "Emiya's family is full of loyalty" is by no means an unwarranted one.

As for Okita Souji, she is one of the very few guardians who has formed a contract with the restraining force as a hero. It is another side or some possibility of the hero named Okita Souji.

There is no doubt that these three guardians are strong, so they can easily kill Araya instead of falling to the ground like his companions.

Shinji thought for a while and continued: "I think based on your looks and karma, Okita, you should change your surname to Emiya."

Guardian Souji Okita shook his head: "There is no need, the guardians are all nameless."

"Oh, really, I think they don't think so."

Shinji pointed in the direction of Emiya Shirou, who was staring at Kiritsugu in a daze.

"they are--?"

"Father and son. To be precise, adoptive father and adopted son, of course they are not from the same world. If Kiritsugu did not make a contract with the inhibitory force, but took another path, he would adopt a child named Shirou. This child would die after his death. Later, he inherited his ideal of becoming a partner of justice, and was eventually abducted by Alaya, the number one palace cook in the universe."

"..." Souji Okita was speechless.

Emiya Kiritsugu finally stopped being silent. He lifted up his cloak, revealing a face that was exactly the same as Kiritsugu's that was familiar to Shinji except for skin color and hair color: "I... am not your father."

Shirou also lifted his cloak and showed a gentle smile: "I know, but I also know that you are the same person as him. In comparison, you are far from the guy I am familiar with. That's right. Well, Matou Shinji from a world I don’t know, I never dreamed that you could come here.”

Shenji chuckled: "The universe is full of wonders. You must have never thought that you would become the 27th Generation Thousand Sons Muramasa. The 27th Generation Thousand Sons Muramasa also never thought that you would become a guardian."

"You're right. Since you have become a guardian, you have to do some things. I, we must kill you here." Shirou Emiya said, raising his most commonly used black and white swords, "General Moye "A modified version of the projection magic.

Shenji helplessly shrugged his shoulders: "It's understandable. But for the sake of our fate, can you tell me something - why did Alaya want to get rid of me?"
