I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"Unfamiliar ceiling."

This is the first sentence that the protagonists of many anime works say when they wake up from a coma. Now, Shinji also said it once.

It's not that he is obsessed with a certain sentiment or playing tricks, it's simply because this is the fact.

Under the operation of "Gem Man", he left the parallel world and returned to his own world line. The first thing I saw when I regained consciousness was the ceiling, a ceiling I had never seen before.

He turned around and looked around. It was as unfamiliar as the ceiling. Shenji was sure that he had never been here before.

"Is there an accident when the soul returns?"

Shen Er felt cold in his heart. This is the most likely explanation. His body was kept in a container specially made by the "Gem Man". If the return is successful, he should wake up in the container, and the first thing he sees should be a jelly-like gelatinous substance.

But soon, he ruled out this speculation.

When he looked down, he saw arms and legs that were several sizes smaller than the Servant's body.

Reach out and touch the hair that has not yet fully recovered.

There is no doubt that this is indeed his own body, a body that has only grown for twelve years.

"It seems that the soul has successfully returned, but why does it appear here?"

According to the method taught by Scathach, let the magic spread throughout the body and awaken the body functions that had been sleeping for an unknown period of time. Shenji got up from the ground, and the dizziness caused by the time-travel was swept away.

"Could it be that the old man is doing something again?"

Shen Er already has psychological shadow. Although this trip to the parallel world has yielded huge rewards, it has also been tormented a lot. He really doesn't want to be tormented by the old man anymore.

"Master, are you there? Just reply if you are."

no respond.

"Just tell me what you want me to do. How will I know what you want to do if you don't tell me?"

Still no response.

"Old man? Your Excellency, 'Gem Man'? The second magic user? 'Wanhua Mirror'? Gem Old Man?"

Still no response.

"Well, it seems I won't reply. I can only rely on myself."

After the trial in the parallel world, Shen Er's mentality has become more and more mature. He is decisive after confirming the current situation, and he has not forgotten to be cautious in unfamiliar environments.

The first thing he did was check himself.

The physical fitness of a twelve-year-old is obviously not as good as that of a servant with the maximum settings. Once you get used to that body and switch back, you will inevitably feel some discomfort. Therefore, you must adjust your state so that you can better protect yourself.

The magic circuit is intact and the magic power is running smoothly.

The relics and cursed crystals have no abnormal reactions and can be used at any time.

All parts are normal.

It seems that "Jewel Man" did not deceive himself in this regard. He did take good care of his body.

So, next, let’s try to get in touch with the outside world.

Cell phone - out of battery. Thinking about it, it has been more than ten days, even if it is on standby, it cannot last that long. Although I don’t know what principle Gemstone Man uses to keep his body and belongings, but as long as time does not stop, it is impossible to prevent the loss of power.

If technology doesn't work, try mystery. Separate a ray of consciousness and follow the contract engraved on the soul.

"Justissa, Justissa, can you hear me?"

If it were true that in the past, the communication between the two people was limited by distance, but now, Shenji has entered the realm of the third magic. As long as they have each other's hearts, they can hear each other's voices even if they are separated from the other ends of the world.

Unsurprisingly, Justina responded. Although her voice was a little weak, she could not conceal her concern.

"Shenji!!! Great, you finally contacted me. Where are you?"

"I'm not sure. I just woke up and found myself in a completely unfamiliar place. I don't know what happened. Do you have any clues?"

"Kishua said there was something wrong when he came back, and he is investigating the cause. You first try to determine your location. As long as we have the approximate coordinates, we will come to pick you up."

"Okay. Please help me report to my family that I'm safe first. They must be very worried if we lose contact for such a long time."

"Well, I'll go right away, be careful."

"The same to you."

"One more thing..."

"What?"

"I haven't responded to you yet - I, Shinji Matou, like you, Justina Ritzleich von Einzbern!"

"ah!!!"

Justisa seemed to have received a huge fright, and the thoughts coming from her became intermittent.

"Then, um, shouldn't such words be said in person?"

“I can’t wait any longer, so I’ll warm up first—meet you and give you a formal response.”

"Then, then, I'm waiting for you, you must come."

A completely different voice than usual, delicate and delicate, giving Shinji endless motivation.

"Definitely, then let's start the development of a new map."

The young man in love stretched out and looked around carefully.

The place he was in seemed to be a hall, with bluestone floors and walls, and simple and majestic columns. It didn't look like a modern building but like an ancient castle somewhere.

But to say that it is an old castle is a bit too well preserved. The floors and walls are smooth and clean, with no stains left by time or traces of human life. It looks like it is newly built.

"Maybe it's a movie theater that's under construction."

Shenji whispered, this is the only information that can be obtained through eyes. If you want to make further discoveries, you must look elsewhere.

But before that, Shinji needs to make some preparations - repairing Hades' cloak.

In an unfamiliar environment, it is obviously not advisable to act blatantly. With the cover of a cloak, safety will be much improved.

According to the last experience, the lower the level of the Noble Phantasm, the easier it is to repair, and the consumption of magic power is less - the real body is not as good as the super body created by Yusitisa. You cannot consume magic power wantonly, and every point you can save is a point. , which is why Shinji only repaired the cloak, instead of repairing all the Noble Phantasms in one go.

He skillfully opened the magic circuit and extracted the magic power. Before the magic was fully activated, his expression suddenly changed.

"Wrong! The conversion rate of magic power is wrong!"

It is the instinct of every qualified modern magician to draw magic power from the "big source" using his own magic circuit as a medium, and Shinji is no exception. Because it is drawn from the outside, it is naturally impossible to transform it perfectly. The more powerful the magician, the higher the efficiency of transformation. The more active the "big source" is, the higher the conversion efficiency will be.

The reason why "Son of Fu Hailin" is difficult to deal with is because its own "other world" will suppress the activity of "Dayuan" and affect the continuation of magic power. On the contrary here, the activity of "Dayuan" was extremely high. As soon as the magic circuit was opened, the ubiquitous life energy swept in, almost making Shinji vomit, and he was so frightened that he quickly closed his magic circuit. .

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Ahem, I finally got over it. I didn't expect that one day I would be held up by magic power. Where is this place? The age of elves, no, the 'Great Source' of the age of gods is just like this."
