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

Da Vinci shook his head helplessly, gave up correcting Lixiang and Matthew's prejudice, and decided to let the following facts correct them.

"In short, after all, it's only a very small singularity. You should bring a few concept dresses and set off. Compared with solving the singularity, remember to pay more attention to thinking [tactics in the presence of multiple masters]-after all, this is what this is. The core of this actual combat exercise."

"Got it, it's really troublesome."

Saying that, Kabanko walked towards the Reiko transfer room, swinging her twin ponytails.Lixiang took Matthew's hand and was about to go up, but before she set off, she remembered that Da Vinci still had something to say.

"Da Vinci, you haven't said the specific coordinates of this singularity yet."

"It was New York, USA in 2000." Da Vinci made a pair of scissors hands, showing a playful smile, "The so-called disappearing decade, think carefully about the events in 2000 that shook the whole world with the US as the source. Well, but since the singularity is only minimal, then those things have nothing to do with us, right?"

"... You bastard, you actually set the flag at this last moment?!"

"It's a very small singularity, what does the presidential election have to do with humanity?"

■In 2000, near Manhattan Island, New York, USA

"how to say……"

Li Xiang, who was transferred to the singularity, covered his forehead, and said with an expression of not knowing what to say,

"The singularity this time, what I want to say really has nothing to do with the events that happened in the United States in 2000."

Beside her, Mustard Seed and Mash looked around in confusion.

This time, there was no accident in the spiritual transfer.

There was no incident of transferring to a thousand-meter altitude, and they were never intercepted by any mysterious force, and there were no people in the location they transferred to.The three of Chaldea came to New York very ordinary, without any accidents.

——What went wrong was the singularity itself.

The earth of steel, the buildings of steel, the huge structures that are obviously mechanical but full of fantasy.It's like the whole of the United States has become a huge steel ferry, and I don't know where it is going.

This was the first thing that caught the eyes of the three of Chaldea and his party, New York covered in steel.

"Da Vinci, what did you say about the minimal singularity just now? Was the minimal singularity last time an accident?"

[What is this...wait a minute, the foundational value of the singularity has changed and has reached the A+ level...no, that's not right! ! ]

Da Vinci on the Chaldea side showed a surprised expression, and while sounding the alarm to call for all Chaldea support to come to the control room to prepare, he told his discovery.

[It is blocked! !Some kind of power in this singularity shields Sheba’s observation, and disguises itself as a tiny singularity! !Because you have entered the interior of the singularity, Sheba can finally make correct observations! ! ]

"what……"

Li Xiang couldn't help sighing,

"Is that the case again? Attacking the outside within the singularity is nothing short of foolish... If there is one, there are two. From now on, we have to actively search for the tiny singularity to solve it, dear Da Vinci."

After all, since this tiny singularity can be a disguised posture of a large singularity, then naturally other tiny singularities can also be like this.

"The actual combat exercise has now become an actual combat, Senior Katana. To attack the singularity with a base value of human power of A+ without a follower... let's hurry up and see if there are any other changes."

Lixiang said so, and then she and Matthew immediately began to check their own situation.Looking at the extremely calm two people in front of him, Kabanko, who was actually startled by the sudden change of the tiny singularity into an A+ large singularity, blinked her eyes.

Especially since this was her first singularity, the shock was almost doubled.

"Er...you and Mash, are you a little too calm?"

"After all, this is not the first time I have encountered this kind of..."

While talking to Kua Hinako, Li Xiang who noticed a certain mutation in her body suddenly froze.After being stunned for a moment, Lixiang quickly raised the hand wearing the personal terminal.

"Da Vinci, the concept dress and enhanced magic can no longer be used! The eternal brilliance can't be activated normally either!!"

While she was saying this, Mash immediately gave an additional explanation.

"Consultant Leonardo! You can turn into a Servant, but you can't deploy a Noble Phantasm!!"

Hearing what the two said, Kakuko scratched her palm with her nails after thinking for a while.

"Although the magic power cannot be used normally, it seems that the pure [physical fitness] can still be relied on. Is this the experience of exploring the singularity? I also understand the reason why Marisbia does not believe that the singularity can be repaired by manpower." .”

[...I probably understand what's going on. ]

After the three of them finished talking about the mutation they discovered, Da Vinci said,

[I'm afraid this is the wish that the Holy Grail holder of this singularity made for the Holy Grail, such as [hope everything goes well]. ]

3. The level of crisis depends on yourself

■Chaldea Control Room

Logically speaking, this should be a spiritual transfer that is as difficult as a spring outing.

Although it is a [simulation of an actual combat exercise in which two masters conquer the singularity, and the transfer of the slave's spirit particles is intercepted), it is only a very small singularity with no foundational value of personal logic.According to Da Vinci's calculations, the biggest difficulty for Lixiang and Matthew in this actual combat exercise should be to have a good relationship with Wasabi.

Although Da Vinci also remembered the tiny singularity of the outer god and beast that he encountered not long ago, but how could accidents of that scale happen every time?

——Then, unexpectedly, it appeared.

What appeared in front of Lixiang and others, according to Lixiang and his party, was not a normal New York, but a mechanical steel city.

The reason why I say [according to Lixiang and his party] is because Chaldea can't see the situation on Lixiang's side at all, although the voice can be heard normally.

"The concept dress can't be deployed normally, and the enhanced magic and eternal brilliance can't be used either!!"

"Although the transformation of servants is going on normally, it is impossible to deploy treasures and use skills!!"

"Physical fitness can be used normally, but the regenerative ability has become weaker."

Tatsuka, Mash, and Kazuko said so in turn.Judging from their unsatisfactory tone, besides these, they seem to have discovered other abnormalities.

"Wait, wait, sorry, please stop for a moment."

Seeing that the three of them seemed to be planning to continue talking, Da Vinci quickly stopped them and explained the abnormality he encountered.

"Chaldea can't see what happened on your side at all, and the video can't show it at all. The sensitivity of various scanning functions has also been reduced, although the observation of Sheba can still be carried out normally... In short, we Let’s sum it up a bit.”

Da Vinci rubbed his brows and couldn't help but sighed.

"The manpower foundation value of this singularity has changed from nothing to A+. It should be because you have entered the singularity, and Sheba can conduct higher-precision observations. In fact, the concept dress and the video for communication are mixed. The element of magic...I see, that’s the way it is, right? The wish made by the Holy Grail holder of this singularity, if I’m not mistaken, should be [No accidents].”

■Near New York and Manhattan Island

Standing at the position where the spiritual son was transferred, Lixiang looked towards Manhattan Island not far away.

The famous Statue of Liberty has become a lot of cyberpunk, and the entire island of Manhattan and even New York have turned into metal.Obviously mechanical but full of fantasy structures filled the whole of New York, making Lixiang a little concerned about what these structures are used for.

Listening to Da Vinci's sigh coming from the personal terminal, Lixiang blinked slightly.

"The wish of [Don't have accidents]? In other words, all invalid things are magical things... It is really full of contradictions in terms of the wish entrusted to the Holy Grail."

[So, what has become of the United States within the singularity? 】Da Vinci asked, 【Although I can't see it here, but since the foundational value of human theory is A+, the abnormality should be obvious. 】

"It's not so obvious...how can I say it? Roman replica?"

Li Xiang said this with some hesitation.

[A city full of machines], from this point of view, it does seem like a Roman singularity.But if I were to talk to Lixiang who was at the scene, although they are all machines, the atmosphere here is completely different from the Roman singularity.

Not long after that, the staff of Chaldea assembled in the control room.At the same time, Lixiang and his party also started the investigation of the singularity.

For this large singularity hidden under the appearance of a very small singularity, although Roman thought it would be better to retreat first and make preparations before exploring, Lixiang raised objections.

Singularity exploration is inherently dangerous and accident-prone, and we cannot retreat urgently every time we encounter an accident.It is precisely because of this singularity [abnormality] that it is necessary to explore now——Rika’s point of view is this.

"but."

Tachika, who was holding Matthew's hand, smiled wryly and said to Kazuko,

"Now [a practical exercise of no value] has become a [actual exercise that may be life-threatening], Akuta-senpai. Anyway, let's start investigating this singularity first."

"...That's why I said that you and Mash's performance on [abnormality] was too ordinary."

Although Aokako said so, Tatsuka had nothing to do—after all, she and Mash had long been used to such things as [unexpected accident].

■【Former Burial Agency Candidate】Fujimaru Tachika

【Psychological Enchantment】

Although there is no magic power or magic involved, it is a kind of [enchantment] recognized by magicians.Although it can also be arranged by manpower, most of the psychological barriers occur naturally.

In short, the place where Lixiang and his party arrived after the transfer of the spirit son seemed to be a psychological enchantment formed by chance.It is also because of this that there are no people around the three girls who have just been teleported to this singularity.

Consensus-wise, the investigation itself went well.

After leaving the place they were originally teleported to, the three soon saw the inhabitants of this singularity.Every resident is accompanied by multiple robots, which seems to be a unique point where humans and machines live in harmony.

Humans and machines live in harmony. From this point of view, this singularity and the Roman singularity seem very similar.However, Lixiang felt that something was not right.

She held Matthew's hand and walked through the crowd and machines with Kazuko, and the [information] called [voice] was continuously received by Tachika.

"CP2000, if you say I'm going on a date, should I wear this dress or that dress?"

"This machine doesn't think you should go on a date now, it's not the most suitable time for a date."

"Oh, I won't go on a date then."

"X399, why can't I learn to draw?"

"Because you don't have the talent for painting, the most suitable future for you is to become a singer."

"Okay, then I'll go learn to sing."

"CE422! I still feel like I—"

"Don't think that the human brain will be seduced by hormones, all you need to do is obey my orders."

"Hmm... You seem to make sense? Then do it."

"..."

After receiving a lot of information, Li Xiang stopped.

She finally realized what she felt was wrong, the biggest difference between this singularity and the Roman singularity.

——The dominant relationship is reversed.

The machinery of the Roman singularity is still a tool of human beings after all, and the dominant existence is human beings.However, this singularity is not the case.

In this singularity, it is those intelligent machines that occupy the dominant position.

After realizing this, Lixiang finally noticed the abnormalities hidden in the corner of this singularity.

For example, the neon billboard hanging on the side of the road is playing an advertisement about a concert, but the one standing at the C position is a robot.

For example, on the big screen attached to a building not far away, two mechanical hosts are reporting that the new presidential robot defeated all humans and machines participating in the election and became the next president of the United States.

This is [abnormal], this is [different].

This is the singularity where machines dominate humans.

"...But machines are things created by man."

So, what was the man who created this machine that spread across the United States and turned the country into a steel ferry?

At this time, a robot walked up to Lixiang.

"There are no machines around, are you three lost humans?"

"Uh...well, probably."

"Don't be afraid, I will help you find the way back." The machine opened its body, and something like a screen popped up, "The machine has the obligation to make human beings happy."

"You obviously stopped the person who wanted to paint? You say you have the obligation to make human beings happy, but what you are doing doesn't look like making human beings pursue happiness."

"Negative." The machine said as if playing a pre-recorded answer, "Most human beings don't know themselves well, and the judgments made without complete data collection are meaningless. In order to make human beings happy, It is necessary for us machines to chart the right path for man, so said our creator."

Suddenly, all the luminous bodies on the robot glowed red.

The red light quickly spread to the surrounding machinery like some powerful infectious virus, and spread to all the steel within the sight of Lixiang and the others in less than 30 seconds.

Mechs both gigantic and tiny glowed red, while the city itself blared sirens.

[warning, warning]

[Confirm the sentient lifeforms that have not registered in the management files, and confirm that there are no relevant records in the United States]

[Determination, the three intelligent life forms are guests from [Chaldea]]

The robot who said to help Lixiang and others suddenly jumped backwards, and at the same time, the surrounding machines and humans also started to move.

[Now, issue an emergency evacuation notice. 】

[All [robots] combat modules are unlocked, please follow the instructions and evacuate to the designated place. 】
