Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

18. Darien and Jeanne

Lu Mingfei covered his head.

He stared blankly at the number '7' on the side of Janet's abdomen that was 'refreshed' again. What came to his mind was the number '6' on Janet's abdomen not long ago.

He always felt that he seemed to understand something, but if he thought about it carefully, he would find that the various clues were a mess and could not be connected together at all.

Moreover, Janet’s expression in front of her was not right either.

The first is the expression. This is also the biggest difference between the Janet Lu Mingfei knows - No. 6 and the No. 7 in front of him. Although the expression on Janet's face will appear very stiff and unnaturally fake when it comes to family members, But girls are generally very lively and cute.

She could cry, be afraid, and laugh. The joy she felt when she was rescued was deeply engraved in Lu Mingfei's mind. When he first met her, Lu Mingfei didn't think she was the kind of emotionless person. Occasionally, it feels like Chu Zihang's facial paralysis and his inability to express himself.

But the No. 7 in front of him was different.

When Lu Mingfei came to save her, No. 7 was also suffering from scars from being chased by monsters. She kept knocking on the door asking for help, but no one opened the door for her, and all she received was insults.

But No. 7 showed no expression from beginning to end until he was rescued by Lu Mingfei.

Wait, think about it carefully, are the people's responses to Janet really abusive? Is it really insulting, rather than panic-stricken madness?

Lu Mingfei's face turned pale.

Even though the warnings from Da Vinci and others were still in his mind, he still resolutely launched the 'thought simulation'. The simulation object this time was not Fujimaru Ritsuka, because it was too difficult to imitate her, so Lu Mingfei was simulating someone else. A wise man in his eyes - Caddock.

Lu Mingfei pinched the hair on his forehead.

He looked at No. 7, who was expressionless in front of him, like a dull doll. In order to verify his thoughts, he knocked on the nearby door again. The person in the room still spoke the same familiar words.

"Oh, good hunter"

This time, because there was no preconceived hostility, Lu Mingfei heard more fear and despair in their voices.

Lu Mingfei went straight to the point and lied casually:

"I am a hunter sent by His Majesty the King. Is there anything strange happening to you tonight or 'every night'?"

"--have!"

The key words in Lu Mingfei's words seemed to trigger some kind of switch, and the other party's fear immediately opened up the conversation, and he poured out endless words:

"Girl. It's a girl! It's a witch! It's the dragon witch who tricked us into opening the door! I opened the door twice! I was killed by monsters both times. The first time the girl died too! But, but the next day"

He lowered his voice, and the words that came out of his mouth made Lu Mingfei's scalp tingle.

"The next day? Is it the next day? I don't know, hahaha, hahaha! I woke up in bed again the next day! I thought it was a dream, and then the same thing happened again! The girl came to open the door again ! I died again. Not long after I woke up on the third day, the girl knocked on the door again! Hahahahahaha"

Immediately, the words behind the man in the room were all crazy, and the words of a madman could not be pieced together to form a complete sentence.

Lu Mingfei endured the nausea.

He looked at No. 7, who was expressionless and motionless beside him.

Lu Mingfei realized two things.

The first thing is that a girl being chased by a monster and knocking on the door asking for help has happened countless times in this nightmare space.

Second, according to the speeches of the people in this room, the escape route was the same regardless of whether Janet was being chased - this shows that Janet being chased was not an accident or coincidence, but someone deliberately designed it this way.

who?

The evil alchemist, Prelati!

The old witch and devil who is active in this era!

Lu Mingfei simulated Kadok's thinking circuit, and suddenly discovered a little difference in details. Janet No. 7's hair color was obviously darker than that of No. 6. No. 6 had an almost pale blond color, while No. 7 had a slightly darker hair color. It is a sandy gold color that tends to be flaxen.

"."

no.

Still not enough.

Ludok's thinking in the state got stuck at this point, because although Lu Mingfei could simulate Caddock's thinking circuit relatively simply, he did not have the rich occult knowledge that Caddock possessed.

Kadok himself still prefers to work hard to make up for his shortcomings, and finally got enlightened with the help of Athena.

Without his years of knowledge accumulation, Lu Mingfei would not be able to continue reasoning.

"."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath.

The sky was cloudless, and it was only at this moment that Lu Mingfei realized that the moonlight over this nightmare town was so dazzling.

Prelati's words lingered in his ears.

——"Don't look like you've been robbed of your beloved girl."

——"There was no 'Janet' from the beginning, there was just the 'Jealous Witch'"

Janet didn't disappear.

It's not the so-called 'never existed' that the devil said maliciously.

But - she was a jealous witch from the beginning.

How to understand this passage?

Very simple.

"——Then the girl I want to save is the jealous witch."

Lu Mingfei has no confusion and is extremely determined in his thoughts. He has always been so simple when it comes to girls, especially girls who are cute, not evil-minded, and are gentle and kind to him.

He didn't care that the jealous witch was the enemy that disrupted time and space.

In a sense, Su Enxi's worries have indeed come true.

What is to be done is clear.

Take a deep breath and exhale.

Lu Mingfei resisted the tingling sensation in his stomach that seeped into his blood vessels, flooding his mind with a general feeling of nausea.

Thought Simulation·Startup

Target: Fujimaru Ritsuka

Forced simulation!

Reasoning, guessing, intuition, etc., please! Let’s do something!

——Insufficient information

Because Lu Mingfei was unable to simulate Ritsuka, and even showed signs of split personality during the forced simulation. Lu Mingfei kept demanding clues, but the simulated Fujimaru Ritsuka refused.

——Insufficient information

——Intelligence cannot be linked

——There is a high probability of lies among the information.

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth.

Sakura girl, give me some tips, you must also want to help me, right?

——.Insufficient information

".hero"

Lu Mingfei's face was ferocious, he gritted his teeth, and a trace of blood slipped from the corner of his eye.

"The people who need help are right in front of you. Heroes can't stand still!"

This is what Fujimaru Ritsuka himself said back then. It's quite a middle-class thing to think about, but Fujimaru Ritsuka likes it very much.

Lu Mingfei's simulated personality of Sakura Girl seemed to be touched by this.

Lu Mingfei said to himself: "[Don't die]."

Lu Mingfei couldn't remember how many times he had risked his life for others.

It's just that this feeling is surprisingly good. Maybe it's because he knows that the people he helps will definitely pay him back, right?

Just like he said to Six.

I won’t let you die. I said I will take you to see the moon and the outside world!

——Forced simulation!

Lack of occult knowledge.

The simulation is not complete either.

I can only hope for a little 'inspiration'.

If you really can't find any clues, you can only go back and ask Prelati. Then that bad woman who talks a mixture of truth and lies will continue to use her words to control Lu Mingfei to serve her conspiracy, right?

Prelati was not a fool. If she continued to play Riddler hide-and-seek with her, Lu Mingfei didn't know how long it would take to catch the clue.

So please!

You must, think of clues or ideas...!

——[Difficulty of reasoning: 1D40+60=73]——

——[Lu Mingfei’s ‘inspiration’: 1D120=76]——

——[76\u003e73]——

--【success! 】——

Lu Mingfei felt as if there were sparks flashing in his head.

A picture emerged in front of my eyes.

That's a tiny detail.

When No. 6 encountered Sariel and endured the pain of being burned on Lu Mingfei’s behalf, the girl’s hair color further ‘faded’ from its original pale golden color to a pale white.

Lu Mingfei covered his forehead.

Enduring the discomfort, he knocked on the door of another house. After some questioning, he finally got the answer from the person who had opened the door for Janet many times.

Someone once noticed that a girl's hair color would always be lighter than the last time.

And there are two more strange things.

The first strange thing is that although Janet's hair color continues to become lighter, it will often become fuller and fuller after a certain time. The expression on the girl's face will also change, and her expression will change from colorful to colorful. Became stiff and numb.

what does that mean?

This means that every Janet has not only experienced a "hunt", but has to perform a "hunt" drama every night. What is the point of Prelati doing this?

Because of the lack of mysterious knowledge, Lu Mingfei could not continue his reasoning.

But the second strange thing asked from the residents gave Lu Mingfei the answer to where he should go next to find the next clue.

based on numerous resident testimonies.

"Sometimes, there is not just one girl being chased, but two. They look like sisters. I don't know why, sometimes the relationship between them is very good, and sometimes it is very bad. It's the first time I saw a big girl. 'At that time, I even thought it was Lady Joan of Arc! That's not right! It's Joan of Arc who is back! Lord, what on earth is this place? Is it hell!"

How can there be a group of people who happen to look alike in this world?

Lu Mingfei hugged No. 7 and immediately returned to Prelati's workshop.

Prelati saw Lu Mingfei's figure with a joyful smile on his face, but before he could say anything, the bored Lu Mingfei took out a shotgun and shot her in the head.

Lu Mingfei's dynamic vision allowed him to clearly see that Prelati's head was blasted by a large-caliber bullet in an instant, and blood and brain matter surged out——

"!?"

But at the next moment, a large number of epiphyllum petals suddenly appeared, covering Prelati's wounds, and then suddenly floated away in the wind, revealing the intact Prelati behind.

Lu Mingfei's astonishing dynamic vision clearly showed that Prelati's wounds were not healed at all, but the brain matter he exploded instantly turned into an epiphyllum. After the epiphyllum dispersed, Prelati's wounds disappeared. .

"What's so surprising?"

Prelaty smiled, casually picked up a gun, and shot himself in the head. The bullet turned into countless ephemerals the moment it was about to touch Prelaty's temple.

"So bad students are trouble. I've already given you a reminder. My illusion skills are on par with Merlin's. We are both disciples of the Fairy in the Lake. We will combine 'the reality of my being killed' and 'the reality of killing me'." Isn't it natural that the bullet' can be instantly rewritten as 'non-existence' using illusion?"

It is said that the legendary wizard Merlin, whose illusions worked many times in King Arthur's adventures, turned terrible attacks into 'beautiful flowers'.

Illusion?

Lu Mingfei was secretly shocked: What kind of illusion is this? This ability basically overwrites reality. As long as she can activate it, her death and the weapons that harm her will become 'harmless flowers'!

In addition to turning harmful things into harmless flowers, could her and Merlin's illusions be able to do other things?

No wonder the little devil calls her an ‘old monster’, an extremely rare ‘devil king’ who has been active on the world stage!

This so-called illusion seems to be very similar to the little devil's fantasy. They are both fantasies interfering with reality. However, the little devil's fantasy is obviously more advanced. He can conjure things out of thin air, but the illusion of the old witch can only Can change 'one thing into another thing'.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei did not intend to continue to struggle with her. He had guessed that if he wanted to kill Demon King Prelati, he would probably need the power of the little devil.

But he fired at Prelati just to vent his anger.

His real target was not Prelatti, and Prelatti had no intention of hiding it - in other words, he directly put the clues in front of Lu Mingfei, expected Lu Mingfei to act like the audience, and used This enjoyment.

But at least now Lu Mingfei has found a clue.

That is - Prelati's laboratory.

Those in the ward who had their organs continuously mutilated and were surviving under the erosion of dragon disease were all blond women!

Lu Mingfei endured the discomfort, opened their clothes one by one, and looked at the sides of their abdomens, but did not find the number he expected.

But that’s not surprising, numbers can be erased.

Lu Mingfei came to Jeanne, who had the most complete body. According to Prelati, she was the 'friend' mentioned by Janet. This time, Lu Mingfei did not use the original battery, but came directly to her ear. Bian, with a firm voice:

"--【do not die】!"

Jeanne's body trembled violently like an electric shock. Lu Mingfei took two steps back, only to see the same crack marks as Janet's appeared on the surface of her body. Along with the 'breaking shell', the familiar Sally Ye appeared in front of Lu Mingfei again.

This made Lu Mingfei confirm one thing.

As expected, the girls here are all Janet, all Jeanne, all - jealous witches!

Perhaps the Jealous Witch is one of the culprits in disrupting time and space.

But in Demon King Prelati's case, she is obviously the victim who was captured!

Lu Mingfei raised an arm to resist the wind pressure, and shouted loudly before the angel's figure disappeared:

"I want to save Janet! Can you tell me what to do? Are there any clues?"

It’s a pity that because he skipped the time to communicate and develop feelings with Jeanne—perhaps, she should be called ‘Janet No. 5’—Lu Mingfei didn’t know what happened between her and No. 6.

But Number Six said that she and Janet have a good relationship and are friends.

Lu Mingfei chose to trust.

And No. 5 guided Lu Mingfei in the direction before returning - no, I should say 'turning back' into the Jealousy Witch.

"Darian go to the basement of the church to find Darian's real angel. Please save No. 6!"

"I'm not an angel, but I will save her! I will definitely save her!" Lu Mingfei raised his head and shouted, "And you! You too! I will save 'you', I will save the Jealousy Witch!"

No. 5's smile was like an epiphyllum blooming quietly under the moon, and her figure quickly disappeared into the sky.

Let’s go back to the Jealous Witch.

Speaking of which, this is a reincarnation with a sense of déjà vu, what kind of witch, jealous witch, etc., which inexplicably reminded Lu Mingfei of a certain animation called "Life in Another World from Zero" a few years ago.

This is a nightmare, the nightmare of a jealous witch.

But the witch is just a witch after all, and the one who imprisons her is the devil - Demon King Prelati.

Ignoring Prelaty's flirting, Lu Mingfei left Prelaty's laboratory again with No. 7, who had an expressionless face like a doll, and went to the church in the direction that No. 5 pointed before disappearing. Go to where you first appeared.

Who is Darien?

——to be continued!

My head has been dizzy all day. The side effects of the vaccine are a bit serious. Let me take it easy first.
