Chapter 327 Starting from Scratch (Please vote for recommendation! Please vote for monthly ticket!)

4. Starting from scratch

[Speaking of which, someone in the group complained that Lu Mingfei’s daily communication with Chaldea was interrupted, and he almost never entered the singularity normally]

[I thought it was right when I heard it, so why not just proceed like this this time——]

[Is there anyone else who can help Lu Mingfei? 】

[1/3/4, assistance from Kenneth? 】

[2. Chaldea actually managed to get in touch this time! ? 】

【5/6/7, in short, let Chaldea pass the judgment】

【8. Support from Sherlock Holmes! 】

【9. Help from Andersen? 】

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=3】

☆

Shinji stared at his surroundings in shock.

There was nothing around him.

No, that's not right, it wasn't that something problematic appeared around him, but that everyone around him disappeared.

Lu Mingfei, Irisviel, Illya/Chloe, Gray, Kong Ming, Lenis, Iskandar, Circe, the First Emperor - including Apollo, the machine god that Lu Mingfei was chasing before An evening with Misa at Linglong Pavilion.

Everyone's reaction disappeared at the same time.

Shenji was a little—no, very panicked, extremely panicked.

He is only a boy after all.

Although he has a very aggressive character, this character will only show up when there are companions around him. In essence, Shinji is still a coward.

It seems that you can't say that, after all, this Shinji is really just an eight-year-old boy.

Rather, Chaldea is exploiting child labor by arranging various important tasks for him.

Because of the sudden disappearance of all his companions, the panicked Shinji subconsciously wanted to contact Chaldea, but as a result, there was deathly silence on the other end of the communication.

What happened over there in Chaldea?

Shenji stared blankly at the screen controlled by the Reiko hacker in front of him.

The last data observed above is that Lu Mingfei sang a spiritual song, and together with the rampaging Apollo Mecha, approached the sky over Crete.

Crete is a famous mythological place, but it is not the island of Crete that is famous, but the underground labyrinth of the famous Minotaur Minotaur on Crete.

Of course, due to the fusion of singular points, this maze mutated, and a huge pit appeared in the center of Crete, which continued to extend like an abyss.

When Chaldea and Kenneth formed an alliance to find the underworld, they considered whether to take this path. However, among the three paths summarized, apart from Chaldea's Styx option, the one with the highest probability of successfully reaching the underworld was The way is to go here.

After all, in many myths, the underworld exists physically underground.

And now, the location where the pit of the abyss leads has been told to everyone through BB's mouth.

That place is what BB calls 'London, the City of Bad Thoughts'.

To be more precise, it was the London Singularity in 1888 AD.

"."

Shenji tightened his grip on his hair and tried to go through the information he knew in his mind.

However, there is no answer to the current confusion.

Shinji suddenly thought of something.

In addition to himself and everyone present, there were two other people in the Chaldean team.

One of them is the Shilan Middle School Student Union. Shen Er tried to contact them and found that they were still there, but Chen Wenwen and Zhao Menghua didn't seem to know that something happened in Chaldea, and they just asked, "Have you found Xia Mi?"

After giving a negative answer, Shinji began to try to contact the last team in Chaldea.

That is, before the start of the second stage of the Holy Grail Tournament, Shinji's servant Drake, as well as Blackbeard and his Master, were sent out as an advance team to explore the evil city of London.

Although Shenji has never liked that particularly big woman, he can only count on her now.

".We must get in touch!"

[Is Drake swallowed up by ‘Bad London’? Make a 1D100 ‘opportunity’ judgment]

[Difficulty: 80]

[Drake’s ‘Opportunity’: 1D100=71]

【fail】

Drake's communications were down.

Of course, Blackbeard also lost contact with his master named Loli, who was taken in by Chaldea.

"Hey, no, what should I do if this happens!?"

No.

There are still people to choose from.

After the Ayu Island incident, Chaldea and Circe united and used Ayu Island as a stronghold. Naturally, Kenneth, a temporary ally, left.

However, before leaving, Caesar secretly gave Shinji a note.

The content of the note was nothing more than valuing Shenji's abilities, bragging and wooing him, but there was a sentence at the end that made people complain:

"You can show this thing to everyone in Chaldea, but you can't tell it to my master. In short, no matter whether Shinji-kun, you plan to switch jobs to us, if you encounter difficulties and need help, you can come to us. our side"

That's right.

This leaves Shinji with only two choices.

Either seek help from Kenneth and Caesar, or simply ignore it, do nothing, and wait to see what happens next. Maybe Chaldea will come back after handling the problem themselves.

"."

☆

"No, we are enemies. Since your representative (Weber) has sent me a magic battle to claim the title of monarch, why should I help you except when forming an alliance?"

As expected, Shinji was decisively rejected by Kenneth.

But even the child Shen Er guessed that Kenneth would definitely refuse, so from the beginning, the person Shen Er really asked for help was not Kenneth, but Caesar.

Caesar winked at Shenji quietly, then coughed twice and looked at his Master:

"Lord El-Melloi, your wisdom is like a bright light in the dark night. It will naturally attract the helpless moths. You are proud but not complacent, and you treat everything with extreme caution."

Kenneth raised his eyebrows: "That's natural."

"It's just that it's good to be cautious, but sometimes we shouldn't be too sensitive, which may cause us to lose the information we should get. As your most loyal follower, it is naturally my responsibility to offer advice at such times. .”

Caesar smiled.

"Why not listen to the specific content of his request? My Lord, after listening, it is not too late to make inferences. I believe that Miss Sola is also happy to see you show your wisdom again, right?"

"." Although I always feel that something is not right, Caesar's words are indeed full of truth.

Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the case.

So Kenneth snorted coldly: "Thank you for my kindness. Tell me, Chaldea, what happened to you over there?"

Kenneth just listened to the beginning and couldn't help but glance at Shenji with contempt.

"Stupid, you... forget it, it turns out that you are not a real magician. It is normal for you to have no education."

"Your person, the one named Lu Mingfei, was involved in the London Singularity in 1888. Based on this, almost all subsequent situations can be interpreted."

"The reason why you interrupted communication with Chaldea is because you had no contact with Chaldea in the first place. The person who had contact with Chaldea has always been Lu Mingfei. After Lu Mingfei's signal was interrupted, Chaldea Of course, there is no way to connect this. In addition, as Lu Mingfei is involved, it makes sense that people who have a contractual relationship with Lu Mingfei are also involved."

"Therefore, among the people who disappeared, the real problem is the people who have a master-slave relationship with Lu Mingfei, that is, people who are not followers in the first place, but are 'players' in this singularity. .”

Kenneth thought for a while and listed a few names:

"Gray, Miyu Emiya, Irisviel von Einzbern, and Eriko Utsumi, these four people are all 'players'.

However, according to what you said, Lu Mingfei and Illyasviel were spiritually fused at that time, so it is normal for Emiya Miyu to be involved together. So Emiya Miyu being involved is not a clue.

In addition, the one named Utsumi Eriyo, according to your statement, her servant was also handed over to Lu Mingfei, and was absorbed into the body by one of Lu Mingfei's servants, so she will also be involved.

As for the descendant of the gravekeeper named Gray, the thing in her hand was Lungominiad. It was not surprising that the thing was attracted to London.

Is it an Einzbern doll? The Einzbern doll is a 'pure soul'. Logically speaking, it should always exist as pure as a newborn baby. Her heroic spirit contract was also transferred to Miyu Emiya, she shouldn’t have been involved in London in 1888.”

Kenneth frowned.

His eyes were fixed on the four names Gray, Miyu, Irisviel, and Eriyo.

"Compared to the remaining three people, does this Irisviel have any special elements that might have caused her to be dragged to London in 1888?"

[Difficulty for Kenneth, the Occult Expert: 25]

[Kenneth’s ‘inspiration’: 1D100=47]

——Kenneth thought of the answer easily.

Talking about London in 1888, what was the most famous event at that time?

In other words, is there any particularly famous event?

Of course there is.

Moreover, it is a very famous event. Whether it is in the mysterious inner world or the surface world where Muggles live, it is an extremely famous event.

——[Jack the Ripper] Incident

As the monarch of the Clock Tower, the type of magic he specializes in is séance, so it is natural that Kenneth would not know the mysterious elements behind that incident.

The answer is ‘the evil spirits of countless dead babies’

". It's a 'mother'. That Einzbern doll is a mother who has 'given birth'. Now, things are getting interesting."

Shenji couldn't quite understand what Kenneth was saying, but he could tell that Kenneth obviously knew some key clues about what might have happened in that singularity.

"So can you help us? Let's get ready and go there together-"

"No, I'm not going to London in 1888."

However, Kenneth flatly refused.

Of course Kenneth couldn't have gone to London in 1888.

Although London is the headquarters of the Magicians Association, and Kenneth himself is also a senior member of the Magicians Association, it was absolutely impossible for Kenneth to take the initiative to go to London during this period of 1888.

Because at this point in time in London, in addition to the murderer Jack the Ripper, there is another person. That person is the absolute nemesis of the magician. It is absolutely impossible for Kenneth to take the initiative to approach there and surrender himself to the trap. .

but.

"Although I won't go and I don't recommend you to go, I can help you build a connection with London in 1888."

At Caesar's suggestion, Kenneth decided to do just that.

He will provide rear intelligence support for Lu Mingfei and others on an objective level, but he will never take the initiative to intervene in London in 1888, which is the most terrifying devil's cave equivalent to hell for magicians.

Because in London in 1888, there existed a man, a real "magician killer" worthy of the name, and his name was Sherlock Holmes.

Providing support to Lu Mingfei not only objectively helps Chaldea, but also allows him to spy on the situation in this unique point that he cannot enter. By the way, he can also monitor the actions of Chaldea and others who are opponents.

Naturally, Caesar helped Kenneth analyze the above pros and cons carefully, and then made Kenneth accept it in terms that the arrogant Kenneth could accept.

Drawing the card of the divine king Caesar may be Kenneth's greatest luck.

that's all.

Shinji received the assistance of Kenneth, and received a lot of occult knowledge support from Kenneth, and also got the opportunity to borrow the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid!

In other words, the current Shinji can invade the "Bad City London" through the ability of the Reiko Hacker!

So, here comes the problem.

Even if the invasion is successful, will we be lucky enough to contact Lu Mingfei immediately?

Next, every other plot, Lu Mingfei can make a luck check. As long as he succeeds, he will be able to get support from Shen Er and Kenneth.

Continue until successful contact!

If he's lucky, Lu Mingfei can get support right from the start!

Although Servant Kenneth himself is not reliable, with Master Caesar around, he will surely be able to maximize his abilities.

So--

[Difficulty: 75]

[Lu Mingfei’s ‘luck’: 1D100=69]

It seems that Kenneth, who has a vast amount of occult knowledge, cannot immediately get support.

Then some of the developments that follow will definitely be very incredible and completely incomprehensible. After all, there is no narrator.

☆

Anyway.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't know why, it felt like he was on the set of the modern fairy tale "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and he took the role of Harry.

But Lu Mingfei didn't want to remember the feeling of being tortured by his aunt.

Run away decisively.

Auntie is furious! Trying to catch Lu Mingfei!

But it didn't work.

Don't underestimate the physical skills that Hercules has developed in Chaldea's virtual training space!

roll! I roll! Look at me rolling invincible frames! (Note: a game term)

Of course, it was impossible for his aunt to catch Lu Mingfei. With Lu Mingze's expression of "What the hell?!", he easily ran out of the house through the window and conveniently took the owl and the letter it brought. He picked it up, opened the envelope while avoiding his aunt's roar, and left it outside the community——

"!?"

Before Lu Mingfei opened the envelope, the moment he stepped out of the community, Lu Mingfei felt like the world was spinning.

The next moment, when Lu Mingfei came to his senses, he was lying on the bed in that small room again, and the annoying sound of Lu Mingze coming down the stairs could be heard from the ceiling.

".?"

Time has turned back?
