Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

Emiya Shirou has gathered a team of about a hundred people, and adult men use guns to protect the periphery. If you add the power of Emiya Shirou and Wuming, if you want to protect this group of people to reach the festival mountain, there should be no problem. Big, but this is based on the premise that those severely mutated enemies did not come forward.

Therefore, if you want to better protect this group of people, you need enough combat power to stay behind, but Kamijou has to go find them.

To leave Virgil to find someone by himself?Tsk, the problem is this guy won't listen to me.He couldn't accept this kind of thing no matter what reason he took.

"Okay, leave the words here to my uncle!"

The bold laughter suddenly sounded at this moment.

More than [-] police officers walked out led by Cu Chulainn. Judging from the blood on their bodies, it was obvious that they had experienced a rather dangerous battle.

"It is necessary to stab the heart and head with the death thorn to trigger the curse to weaken its recovery speed, and it cannot be killed. Such an enemy is really a headache."

Cu Chulainn sighed in this way, waved the scarlet spear in his hand casually, and looked at Wuming, who had been looking unattractive since just now.

"Are you going to fight side by side with you again?"

Wu Ming sighed.

"Ha, don't say that, I also have a headache to act with a guy like you."

Cu Chulainn grinned.

Then, the tall man turned his attention to Jiang Ming and Virgil.

"So, here are us, escorted to the temple on the mountain where the festival was held, right? I don't know why you are confident that there will be protection for us, but at least you are the one who made a heroic act, so I believe you once Well, I don't know where it's safer now anyway."

After waving his hands, the armed police officers from the police station separated and stood on the periphery of the team.

"Then I'm counting on you guys, Virgil, can I go find Kamijou Touma with me?"

"If you don't tell me, I will find it myself."

Jiang Ming and Virgil quickly left the group of survivors heading for the Ritual Mountain, and walked through the city that was already on fire.

"Is there a direction?"

Virgil looked sideways at Jiang Ming.

"It shouldn't be too far away from home. Mostly, I saw someone who was in danger and went to rescue someone, but I also fell into danger. I am quite clear about that guy's style. I will start looking around Kamijou's house first."

Jiang Ming spoke without hesitation.

The glass of a building next to him suddenly shattered.

A man with a cracked smile jumped out of it, waving a wrench and smashing it at Jiang Ming.

Then Virgil chopped off his arms and head directly.

"These things seem to be unkillable."

Virgil looked down at the slowly recovering corpse on the ground. It was fatally wounded but not much blood spewed out at all, and under the influence of an unknown force, the corpse actually resisted the erosive power contained in the Broken Knife. It was repelled bit by bit.

"That's why don't waste your energy and focus on finding that kid Kamijou first."

Jiang Ming, who was talking like this, was about to take a step when he heard the ringtone of his mobile phone.

Lowering his head, he saw the smart phone that fell out of the man's pocket, and a large line of words [please answer Jiang Ming] displayed on the phone screen.

Chapter 39: K-Class Scenario - Human Loss of Consciousness

"It's a good idea to think of letting those people take refuge with Sengzheng. According to the model we have established, there is still a high possibility that that existence will help."

The voice on the phone came from the third-level agent of the containment control center who claimed to be Buckley, who had heard it in the phone booth before.

"You sealed off outer space on this planet?"

Jiang Ming, who answered the phone, continued to rush back to the vicinity of Kamijou's house, and said to the phone.

"Yes, we did it. The control and containment center used space separation equipment a day ago to separate this planet from the universe. You can think that this planet is now in an independent world. Well, although it is That being said, this kind of equipment can only last for less than a week at most, after all, the universe we live in is too weird, even the latest space separation equipment cannot last for a long time."

The man on the other side of the phone seemed to be a little bit emotional.

"What is the reason for doing this?"

Jiang Ming frowned and asked directly.

"To stop the MK-Class Doomsday Crisis - 'Loss of Human Consciousness'."

Buckley replied calmly.

"Explain explain."

Quickly searched around Kamijou's house, Jiang Ming found nothing, left the house, and said very rudely to the man on the phone.

"The specific explanation is that the entire human being has completely turned into a vassal puppet of a high-level existence from the thinking point of view, and completely lost itself and turned into something like a walking dead. However, considering the actual calculation model, it should be that all sentient beings in the universe will be If self-awareness is completely destroyed, all living beings will be destroyed."

What fantasy are you talking about here?

Jiang Ming really wanted to scold directly now.

"I know you may not believe it, but this is a real thing. Since the discovery of the 'Clear Sea', we have tried to prevent the arrival of this crisis. But we failed and paid for it paid the price of two entire elite special dispatch teams."

"You've seen those things, haven't you? Those guys who wear human skin, but are actually something else completely, that's what I'm describing, the thing that can cause the extinction of all things. thing, you could think of them as 'outposts' of that thing."

"I can't describe to you what that thing is, this kind of behavior will directly lead to the infiltration of the other party's power, although I can guarantee that I will be safe in the anti-meme isolation layer, but you who hear this name will definitely be greatly affected levels of pollution, and it is even very likely that they will be transformed into something like them on the spot."

"I can only tell you that it is a high-dimensional entity floating outside the universe that has strong malice towards all sentient beings."

"The predecessor of the control and containment center once encountered that thing, to be precise, a certain predecessor of the parallel world encountered that thing, and the entire universe was easily destroyed. But before everything was destroyed, some information was spread to other parallel worlds The Paranormal Dimension Containment Protection Agency, so we learned of the existence of this horror."

"The existence of this thing has never been clearly described. We can only know that it is keen to enter the universe where any civilization exists, destroy all its biological thinking, and then leave. And this thing is completely independent of the time axis and space. The impact of the change, as long as it is completely positioned in a certain universe, the invasion can be completed immediately."

"No one has seen its true form, but some describe it as a body that exceeds tens of trillions of light-years, and there are even a large number of terrifying entities that are constantly evolving the universe inside, and its own consciousness is divided into countless tiny, continuous Watching every universe in the universe, looking for places of interest to invade."

"This thing exists in a gap in the universe without dimensions. It cannot be fully recognized, cannot be harmed, and cannot be expelled. The existing data even think that the previous observation data is actually just a projection of a dimension. A strange thing that exists in a completely unreasonable form."

"But whatever it is, it's hostile to human civilization and actively destroys it, and it's like, like, like, some kind of entertainment. Yeah, my only The only description I can think of is this, it seems to be some kind of entertainment to destroy us for that thing."

"Of course, I know that this description is too much, and it seems too desperate. But we are actually lucky now, because the universe we are currently in is an extremely complicated universe, so even that thing is difficult to really invade Come in, and even if it succeeds in setting up the fulcrum of the early invasion, that is, these outpost converters infused with its power, it will not be able to enter it quickly. Therefore, we can use this space division device to achieve deception and Exile, in other words, the billions of people on this planet, all of us, are being thrown as bait to lure this terrifying beast away."

"This is the current status quo. Those early-stage transformers, that is, the guys who used the potion eroded by the power of that thing, should soon start some kind of mystic ritual to summon this high-level entity."

"At that time, everyone will die in an instant, and no one will be truly spared."

Jiang Ming stopped in his tracks.

Virgil beside him was also silent, raising his head and staring at the illusory night sky above his head, as if he was thinking about remembering something.

"what……"

Open your mouth, want to say something.

However, nothing can be said.

Jiang Ming felt that his brain might have been replaced by a taco by Crazy Dave, so he lost the ability to think and couldn't turn it.

"you you……"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

The last thing that came out of my mouth was the instinctive negation.

"I'm sorry this happened, sorry, we should have been able to solve this crisis, but we came too late, these people hide it too well, that thing seems to be able to realize the records of the supernatural dimension containment protection agency And coping, so this time the converted have adopted a completely hidden policy, and we can't find them out."

Barkley said apologetically on the phone.

"...the transformed ones, how many people are there?"

It took a long time for his mind, which was almost at a standstill, to come to his senses, allowing Jiang Ming to ask another question.

"We predict that it should be around 1000 million, but this is the number distributed around the world. These early-stage converts have the power link from that thing, so they can be resurrected infinitely, and increase their own power in each resurrection. This growth rate is currently our No upper limit has been found to exist, and it is speculated that each of these 1000 million people should be able to reach at least the power of a single universe in the end."

Why don't you fucking say it.

"But don't worry, the number of such early-stage converts will not increase, and even if there are converted ones, they are just ordinary converts whose self-awareness has been destroyed."

Can such words be regarded as consolation?

Jiang Ming scratched his head, but he couldn't get calm from this small action.

"That is to say, because of these 1000 million converts that you don't know where they are hiding, did you come up with a solution to throw out billions of people as bait and be killed?"

Jiang Ming finally took a deep breath and said.

"……Yes."

This time, the voice on the other side was slightly silent for a while.

"I'm thinking, when the matter is over, will you lament another victory, or cry a few times hypocritically, saying that our sacrifice is great or something."

Jiang Ming laughed while talking, and the sound of laughing and laughing turned into a dry laugh again.

"I won't, because in order to maintain this device to achieve a real sense of space isolation and exile, there must be some members of the control and containment center participating in this operation staying in the barrier, and I am one of them."

The voice on the other side quickly answered.

"Ha, what a great self-sacrifice. Shall I interview people who are still alive one by one, and ask them if they will not be moved by your decision?"

Jiang Ming really laughed now.

"I didn't stay for self-sacrifice," Buckley replied to Jiang Ming indifferently, "I stayed to cooperate with the researchers to record. We didn't directly observe the whole transformation process first-hand, so I stayed voluntarily. , as a test subject and a recorder to record everything that happened next, and the data obtained will become valuable experience for the Containment Control Center to deal with similar incidents after the meme processing."

"I think your mother is quite experienced."

I can't help but want to curse.

Everything was completely subverted at this moment, the daily life in the warm memory, the kind neighbors on the street with different personalities, all became sacrifices in the face of this inexplicable and ridiculous disaster .

Has our destiny been decided casually like this?

Because it is a crisis that threatens the entire universe, so all of us have to dedicate ourselves to it?

"clam down."

At this moment, Virgil stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Ming's shoulder lightly.

"He should have his reasons for telling you all this, keep asking."

This indifferent man seemed unusually calm at this moment.

Indeed, if it is just to make me understand, there is no need to go into this level of detail.

Jiang Ming barely let his emotions return to normal.
