Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

"Roman?" Hearing Roman's sudden surprised voice, Lixiang asked subconsciously, "What happened?"

Noticing the movement here, Matthew, who was observing the outside world at the exit of the alley, also rushed back.

[It's a map, it's different. ]

As Roman said so, two maps appeared on Lixiang's personal terminal through projection.

[You see, this is a map of London from 1888, and this is a topographic map of Chaldea that has just been scanned.These two maps are [completely different], and even the rivers don't overlap. ]

"Senior, now we have found the first doubtful point...Senior?"

There was no response to her own words, so Matthew looked at Lixiang.

She found that Lixiang was in a daze now, looking at the topographic map scanned by Chaldea and not knowing what she was thinking.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"...For a while, I didn't know where to start to say... This terrain is a bit familiar to me. No, I shouldn't say that."

The girl showed a complicated expression, and after a short pause, she said hesitantly,

"It should be [I know this city]."

In fact, it’s not just the level of knowledge, Lixiang scanned the topographic map of Chaldea——I was so impressed with a certain city with this topography that I could dream of it when I slept.

If she fell into a deep sleep and was not called by Merlin.

"However, Roman is right. If you stop here, guessing will always be just guessing."

The girl looks to the sky.

The stars and the moon hang above the night, quietly watching the earth.It was [night] in London at this time, and it was still [late night].

"The results of the investigation at night will not be very good. In short, let's find a place to stay, such as going to the park to pitch a tent or something."

So, Matthew and Lixiang began to look for a foothold in this city.

From Matthew's point of view.To put it bluntly, this London is weird.

Not only the structure, but the style of the building and the layout of the house are also very strange.It's like an ancient society with a high degree of science. Although Matthew has seen the God of Mech, he doesn't think it's strange that ancient society has high technology.

Matthew saw a word when reading novels before, which seems to be particularly suitable for this London-【Steampunk】.

However, the city is also different from regular steampunk.It is not so much a society of steampunk, but a [stage] of [steampunk style].

The strange thing is not only the style and layout of the building, it is also strange to find clocks on the street.Every clock and watch is now [0:00], and the second hand is unwilling to rotate even one micron.It seems that all the clocks in the city are broken, or that time in London has stopped.

In addition, the [strange thing] that Matthew can find is that this city is [too quiet].

Or rather, dead silence.

Of course, the year is 1888 after all.It's midnight, and it's no surprise that everyone is going to bed.

However, [Quiet] and [Quiet] are different.

The silence that permeated the surroundings was not the silence of [everyone fell asleep], but the silence of [no one around].

Matthew followed Lixiang to check several houses. In fact, there seemed to be no one in the city.

At least, there is no one in the houses around Matthew and Lixiang.

"...Well. If you want to say, it's not surprising that there is no one in this city."

After checking the surrounding houses, Lixiang suddenly said such a sentence.

Through the tacit understanding with Lixiang, Matthew realized that "this city" in Lixiang's mouth did not refer to "London".

"Why is there no one, but the senior will say [not surprising]?"

"Well...how should I put it? Because——"

"Because the residents of this city were killed by [Fujimaru Tachika]."

Before Lixiang finished speaking, another voice that looked like Lixiang came from behind Mash and said such words.

Mash quickly put up the holy shield and turned his head, but was stunned for a moment when he saw the person standing behind him.

"……senior?"

She spoke hesitantly.

Standing there was another 【Fujimaru Tachika】.

■London Empty streets

It was another "Fujimaru Tachika" who suddenly appeared in front of Lixiang and Mash.

This scene made Matthew stunned for a moment, and Chaldea immediately turned on various scanning devices.

However, the results of the scan also surprised everyone in Chaldea.

[How can it be? !All the biological parameters are actually the same as Lixiang? ! ]

Lixiang didn't panic, although a person who looked exactly like him suddenly appeared in front of him.

She first held Matthew's hand to calm him down, and then looked at the person who appeared suddenly on the opposite side.

"[Everyone in this city was killed by Fujimaru Tachika]...? If you want to say that, it seems that there is nothing wrong--I see, you are not me. Imitation or something?"

"It's a mirror image."

The "Lixiang" who suddenly appeared on the opposite side said so.

"However, it's not a qualified mirror image. I'm a heroic soldier created to completely reproduce the trajectory of your life. Logically speaking, I should have the exact same personality as you... But, it's just your [life] There is no way to form your personality model, the puzzle is missing a big piece for some reason, so I can only create a copycat with many flaws like me."

Everyone, whether it was Matthew or Chaldea, was a little confused for a while, especially after "Lixiang" on the opposite side explained who he was.

However, it wasn't these things that confused Mash the most, but Tachika's admission that [everyone in this city was killed by Fujimaru Tachika].

She really wants to ask [what's going on] right now, but she also knows that now is not a good time to ask questions.

"Why did you copy me, and who did you make the fake for what... I won't ask such stupid questions."

Lixiang let go of Mash's hand, and then popped the black key from his palm to turn his hands into [claws].

"Do you mind introducing yourself? For example, what's your name?"

"[Li Jiang], just call me that, because I am an imperfect imitation."

The imitation that claimed to be Li Jiang also popped up the black key in the same way, and put on almost the same posture as Li Xiang.

"I am now the guard of this shadow time. I was originally activated to eliminate the bugs that are messing around this night. However, I didn't expect Chaldea to visit today. Since you have come, those wandering in the night It doesn't matter to the intruders."

"To put it simply?"

"I am your [enemy], that's all."

The next moment, Li Jiang disappeared from the spot.

The sound of the atmosphere being shaken sounded around, and Mash immediately locked onto Li Jiang who seemed to have disappeared out of thin air with his Servant-level dynamic vision.

It turned out that she didn't [disappear], she just accelerated suddenly.

She accelerated herself to supersonic speed.

Seeing this, Matthew quickly set up a shield in front of Li Xiang, but Li Jiang holding a black key disappeared in front of Matthew in an instant, and then appeared behind her.

[Space jump], Lixiang can use this black key throwing technique as a footwork.And Lijiang just used this move with his physical ability to accelerate to supersonic speed in an instant, so Matthew couldn't react at all.

However, another person responded.

When Li Jiang swung three black keys and slashed at her from behind Mash, the other three black keys with gray locks and purple electric lights protruded from the side to block Li Jiang's black keys.

Of course, it is Lixiang.

It's not quite right to say "blocked", Lixiang just bounced the sword blade swung by Lijiang by unloading his force.

"Let's say it first, I just couldn't copy your [personality]." Li Jiang said, "I have perfectly copied all your weapons, skills, and unique physique—and, my The specification is [Heroic Spirit Class]."

"Just now I figured out one more thing. Your prototype is not [me], but [me in that city]."

"You in that city are the [heyday], right?"

"No. My heyday—now with Little Eggplant."

The next moment, the six black keys began to stagger.

4. Shadow time

■London Empty streets

When the imitation claiming to be Lijiang wanted to attack Mash, Lixiang swung the black key to block her attack.

So, the two started fighting.

Both sides have the same martial arts and weapons, but Zhong Lixiang is at an obvious disadvantage.

Lijiang is not a simple [Copy of Lixiang], but a [Lixiang copied with Heroic-level specifications].If anything, he looks more like a liar with Lixiang's appearance.

She can run at supersonic speed, and I am afraid that her muscle strength and durability are not low.It can be said that it is no longer [Superman], but a simple [Majin].

On the other hand, if you don't rely on strengthening magic, Tachika is only at the level of a human being.Therefore, it is quite natural for Lixiang to be at a disadvantage in the battle.

On this basis——

"It's actually able to stop it. I don't have the confidence to do the same thing if the performance is swapped. It's just a personality gap. Is the gap so big?!"

Seeing Li Xiang who once again survived his own slash, Li Jiang said in surprise.

"It's not surprising, is it?" Li Xiang shook his head, "You're using my past martial arts, so isn't it natural for me to be able to predict your movements?"

"Then why can't I predict your movements?"

"Although I don't know who made you, people are supposed to grow. This is common sense!"

While talking, the blades of the two sides continued to cross and collide.The metallic sound that is usually impossible to appear echoes everywhere, and the flying sparks add a touch of fantasy to the deserted night.

The two were running on the masonry roads in London, using the surrounding buildings and street lights as their footholds to keep jumping.Lijiang launched a surprise attack at supersonic speed, and Lixiang relied on experience and technology to avoid them one by one.

Poor street lamps were chopped off, and the hands of clocks with crushed faces were flying in the air.A house was divided into two as if it were a matter of course, and the roof was torn off by Li Jiang and added to the role of iron armor, and thrown towards Li Xiang.

While leaning her body back, Tachika kicked hard at the edge of the roof that was hit by the speed of the cannonball, and the roof flew into the night sky along the girl's straight legs in the air.Then she threw the black key at Lijiang, and at the same time released purple electricity with the help of the gray lock attached to the nun's uniform to buy herself time to rectify the situation.

"Have you forgotten your abilities?"

Li Jiang said so.

She flicked the black key that was thrown over, and rushed towards Lixiang, ignoring the gray lock of Zidian.

"[Miracle] and [Secret] are useless to [Fujimaru Tachika]."

"I'm not attacking you."

Saying so, Tachika stretched out his hand to the ground.The rock touched by the purple electricity turned into snow-white salt in the next moment, exposing the gas pipeline under the road.

"The night is dark and the wind is high - be careful with the candles."

The pipeline burst immediately, and natural gas mixed with white salt spewed out from the ground.Then, there was a violent explosion.

"This is not a joke." Remembering the hidden and mysterious excuses often used by the church, the traverser girl couldn't help but said, "This is an authentic natural gas explosion."

With that said, she popped a new black key.The flame produced by the authentic natural gas explosion was cut open by Lijiang with the black key at the next moment, and then she raised her leg and kicked Lixiang's head.

At this moment, Matthew's shield spun and smashed over.Although it didn't hit Lijiang, it forced her to put her leg down.However, she immediately planned to pursue Tachika in other ways, but she immediately jumped back when she realized what was going on.

The instant she jumped away, the shield spun around like a boomerang and passed where she had stood before.The shield made a big circle in the air, and then returned to Mash who was standing in front of Lixiang again.

"Swivel shield?" Li Jiang blinked, "This move is really cool."

"Everything about our Little Eggplant is handsome and cute, you don't need to tell me."

"Then, I'll use this trick to pay back."

As he spoke, Li Jiang raised the hem of his skirt and pulled out a simple silver pistol from under the skirt.

Those were the silver teeth Lixiang used when she was still in church.

The speed of light attack needs to be countered with conceptual defense, so Li Xiang also took out the card of the Southern Cross.The roof that was kicked into the air by Li Xiang before smashed down, and the two sides were about to have such a duel like western cowboys.

At this moment, the bell echoed in the night sky of London.

"It's a pity, if this is a novel, now is the best part."

With that said, Li Jiang put away his silver teeth.
