Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

You don't even need to go to the hospital for treatment. You can recover after a short rest. Although the injury cannot be recovered, you can still live a normal life.

However, Shirou Emiya still has no memory of the bad guy who suddenly disappeared in front of him.

Even if he recalls, Shirou Emiya will not have any memory of him, because the bad guy no longer exists in this world.

Just like the white-collar worker that Shirou Emiya followed on the first street, all the memories about them disappeared by Shirou Emiya, and they were automatically filled.

Almost without any loopholes, these lost memories were filled.

Chapter 218 The Red Barrier that Stops the World

After getting rid of the bad guys, Shirou Emiya did not find anything strange.

The disappearance of the bad guy is different from Jack the Ripper's [Erase of Information], which directly makes your memory disappear.

You remember that you fought with someone, but you don't know how to fight, and you don't remember what the person you fought with looks like.

However, you will have the impression that you have fought with him. [Erasure of Intelligence] simply erases the information about her abilities, real name, and appearance recorded by the witnesses and opponents, which is equivalent to digging out this part of your memory, so that people have no memory of this part at all.

Moreover, this ability can be recorded by scientific products such as cameras, but it means that people's memories will disappear after watching it again.

The disappearance of the bad boy is different from this. Compared with the Ripper's [Erasure of Intelligence], this kind of disappearance is more advanced.

It is not to dig out the memory of oneself in your memory, but to fade it, and even make the memory of people who have an impression of him fill in autonomously, resulting in a certain logical self-consistency.

Even if you have recorded this incident, your record will disappear because of his disappearance.

What disappears is not just the body, but everything related to him will also disappear.

No matter how much effort you have made to observe him before, in the end, it will only disappear together, even if you use a code or password, it will all disappear together.

He is not simply to make you lose such a person in your memory.

Instead, it allows your memory to reconstruct new memories in a logically smooth form.

Even if you recall, there will be no memory that you should be talking to someone at this time.

It does not just leave it blank, it will automatically repair it.

Even if 80% of your memory is that person, it will not cause your memory to be confused, but will only lose the influence that person has on you.

Just like being swallowed by a white whale in the other world of Re:Zero, the existence disappears in this world.

But in this world, it is not like the white whale that wipes out the existence of this person in the moment of swallowing. Their disappearance is as time goes by, and their sense of existence will continue to decrease until the sense of existence is completely lost, and then they will be forgotten by everyone.

No matter how good the memory is, there is no way to remember these people whose sense of existence is constantly dissipating.

Shirou Emiya's observation ability is indeed very amazing. He did notice those people who were ignored on the street and had a weak sense of existence.

Because the existence of those people did not disappear, it was just very low, so low that people could not realize his existence. They can be observed and affected by physics.

But they will soon disappear in memory.

Just like Shirou Emiya now, he had previously concentrated so that he could remember those people with low sense of existence, and even followed such a person with extremely weak sense of existence.

But there was only one result.

That is, Shirou Emiya forgot all of this, and forgot it very thoroughly. It was not that Shirou Emiya could not recall the things, but that he forgot the appearance of these people in his memory.

In Shirou Emiya's memory, these people have never appeared.

If Shirou Emiya was just an ordinary person, if Shirou Emiya originally lived in this world, then he would not be able to find the abnormality at all.

It is precisely because Shirou Emiya is not from this world that he feels weird about what happened in this city.

It is precisely because Shirou Emiya is not an ordinary person, not only because he has special powers, but also because he has seen many strange things, that he will question his memory.

Ordinary people will not question their own memories, nor will they believe that people will suddenly disappear.

It is precisely because he has experienced those extremely fantastic things that he believes in such strange things without scientific basis.

Even if he lost his memory, when Shirou Emiya walked on the street again, he would still find the existence of those people who were not noticed by others.

For some reason, some existence, for some purpose, there are not a few people with such weak sense of existence in this city.

So Shirou Emiya can easily observe those people with weak sense of existence.

However, history will repeat itself, but it will not be repeated simply.

"Aren't they human?"

Shirou Emiya stood there in a daze, somewhat unbelievable and panicked about his own judgment just now.

She also wanted to analyze whether the human body could make her strengthening magic go to the next level, but she didn't do it.

My own strengthening magic has always remained at the stage of strengthening objects, and it is impossible to strengthen the human body.

At that time, the projection magic used by Shirou Emiya could only project ordinary objects. Many of the things in the warehouse of the Emiya house were things he practiced by projection.

For example, pots and pans. Of course, Shirou Emiya has also thought about whether projection magic can project living things, such as trying to project birds flying in the sky.

Of course, the final result is that it cannot be done.

And now, Shirou Emiya found that he could actually project the person in front of him who had an extremely weak sense of existence.

But Shirou Emiya could not project living things.

Then the conclusion is obvious.

Those who live in the city with almost no sense of existence are not human beings, and it can even be said that they are not even living things.

It is just a thing, or a manifestation of some kind of power, but not a human being.

Shirou Emiya was extremely shocked and even a little terrified by the conclusion he came to in his heart.

Because, in this city, there are many such existences. Although they do not account for most of the entire city, the number is definitely not small.

Shirou Emiya saw more than ten of them on the road alone.

Of course, Shirou Emiya didn't remember how many streets he had been through before, after all, he had forgotten them all.

But when he saw these people with weak existence, Shirou Emiya would judge what the strange feeling he had felt before was, and then forget it.

He remembered again after seeing them again, and forgot again after leaving. Shirou Emiya was in this constant cycle, and discovered that those people with weak existence were not human.

"Ding-Ding! Ding-Ding!"

Burst after burst of bells came from behind Shirou Emiya.

Looking back, it was an extremely ordinary school. Before he knew it, Shirou Emiya came to a school.

Except for the bell, there seemed to be no problem around.

"Projection Start (Trace on)"

Shirou Emiya did not hesitate at all. At the moment when the sense of crisis climbed up his back, a sword with a chain appeared in his hand. On such a street, the armor instantly covered it.

Before Shirou Emiya could sense the sense of crisis coming from, the whole world was instantly saturated with flames.

Everything in the world seemed to be in a state of prohibition.

Those passers-by also stopped at the moment of moving forward, unable to move.

In this world, Shirou Emiya was covered with armor and stood at the gate of the school, just like those passers-by, unable to move or think, just like being frozen by Esdeath's ice, losing the ability to move, perceive and think.

Chapter 219 The People Behind Misaki City

On the top of the tallest building in Misaki City, there is a closed and dim space.

This space is quite vast, but there are no furniture or decorations around it, it is empty.

In the center of this space, there is a large courtyard-style bonsai, which is made of toy partitions and models.

If someone familiar with Misaki City sees this bonsai, he will be surprised, because this bonsai accurately simulates the entire Misaki City.

The bonsai not only built a map of Misaki City, but also gave real-time feedback on what happened in Misaki City.

Such a detection object that can give real-time feedback can be said to be a killer on the battlefield.

In this huge space, in addition to the bonsai placed in the middle to detect Misaki City, there are also things that make people feel shudder.

Dolls.

Big and small, wearing various clothes, with round eyes, some are tattered, and some are intact.

Such dolls leaned against the surrounding walls, surrounding the surrounding space.

The large courtyard-style bonsai in the center exudes a faint blue light.

These light blue lights shine on the faces of these dolls, and the whole space reveals unspeakable weirdness and horror.

I am afraid that ordinary people will fall to the ground like sudden death when they see these dolls, and they will not be able to get up again.

In such a place, a voice full of elegance but extremely evil came out.

"Ah, my dear Marian, have you decided where to go to hunt humans?"

Accompanied by such a voice, a tall man slowly appeared in front of the bonsai.

He was a man wearing a pure white suit, with a long white cloth floating around him. He looked like a gentleman from the upper class.

However, this man was floating in the air, and came to the front of the courtyard bonsai with the long cloth floating around him.

The man lowered his eyes and looked at a doll-like doll floating in front of the bonsai.

He couldn't help but reveal his doting, as if this doll was his lover.

And the doll shyly got into the man's arms and rubbed his chest happily.

"Master."

The doll's mouth did not move, but an extremely ethereal voice came from it.

If you just look at the voice, you will definitely think that this is an extremely beautiful girl.

"What's wrong, my dear Marian."

The man caressed her lovingly.

"I found an interesting human."

The doll floated out of the man's arms and flew back to the top of the bonsai, pointing in one direction.

The man looked in the direction of the doll's finger.

In this large courtyard bonsai, in the model simulating the panoramic view of Misaki City, there was a red-haired model that was interacting with the mannequins burning with flames.

Looking at this scene, the man frowned.

"How could a human being find a torch?"

"Torch" is a synonym for those people with low sense of existence that Shirou Emiya had met before, and it is a substitute for people who do not exist in the world.

In other words, those people with low sense of existence are already dead.

They have long been deprived of the world's original power "power of existence" by the existence of this man.

And the human who has been deprived of the [power of existence] is already dead, and there is no possibility of recovery at all.

But in real life, if a person disappears suddenly like this, it will cause different degrees of distortion.

Those who have seized the [Power of Existence] will leave behind "torches" as a substitute to ease the distortion in reality.

But these "torches" will eventually fade from people's memory.

"Master, isn't it interesting that a human can always pay attention to these [torches] that are about to disappear."

It's not surprising that humans can notice torches.

After all, [torches] only have a weak sense of existence. They still have [Power of Existence] in their bodies, can be seen by people, and can interact with people.

It's just that those who have interacted will quickly forget it after the interaction.

Humans with slightly stronger attention can find these [torches] that have been ignored by others.

This is not a strange thing.

There is only one strange thing.

The man's frown slowly opened, his expression became intoxicated, and he answered her softly while stroking the doll in front of him obsessively.
