“Ding Dong——”
The doorbell rang. Hearing the doorbell, the girl sitting at the table stood up hurriedly.
“Here I come…!”
As the girl spoke, she ran to the entrance and opened the door. However, what puzzled the girl was that the person who appeared in front of her was not her father, but a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a black coat.
"Uncle? Who are you?"
Looking at the strange uncle in front of her, the girl tilted her head in confusion, while the latter looked at the girl and smiled slightly.
"Hello, little sister, I'm here to look for that lady...I think she's right here."
"Big sister?"
At this moment, Eri Takabe also came to the corridor from the living room. When she saw the uncle standing at the door, she was stunned for a moment.
"Who are you……?"
"Ah, big sister, it seems this uncle is here to see you."
"Looking for me?"
"I'm sorry, young lady."
As he spoke, the uncle looked at Eri Takabe.
"Can you please come with us somewhere? Someone wants to see you."
“…”
Hearing the uncle's invitation, Eri Takabe's expression changed slightly, and then she nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
"Hey? Big sis, are you leaving? Daddy should be back soon."
Hearing what Eri Takabe said, the little girl was obviously reluctant to leave, and Eri Takabe squatted down and gently stroked her head.
"Well, sorry, my elder sister and this uncle have something urgent to do, so...if we are destined to meet again, let's meet next time."
After saying this, Takabe Eri stood up, waved to the little girl, and then walked out of the house. Then, a car drove over, the uncle opened the door, and gestured to Takabe Eri, who hesitated for a moment before getting into the back seat of the car. Then, the car sped away and disappeared in the sea of cars.
By the way, after that, the girl's father hurried home and did not see Takabe Eri. Instead, his wife suspected that she was the mistress who ran to the door, and almost faced the tragic scene of the collapse of the family. In the end, he had no choice but to dig out his treasured "O Work" from the warehouse and explained the situation to his wife and daughter... Well, in the end, this was considered to avoid the tragedy of his wife and children being separated.
However, it is inevitable to be socially disgraced in front of your family.
Of course, this is a later story.
After leaving, Takabe Eri drove onto the highway, while the uncle took a cigarette and put it in his mouth while driving.
"I'm sorry, miss. I don't want to use such a strong method."
"Don't you think it's a bit mean to threaten with a child?"
Eri Takabe stared at the uncle coldly. Of course, she didn't know the man in front of her. The reason why Eri Takabe was willing to follow him away was that when the little girl turned her back to him, the uncle took out a gun and pointed it at the girl's head. Although he didn't say anything, Eri Takabe understood what he meant.
"I admit, there's nothing to justify, but I just did what I wanted to do."
As he spoke, the uncle stuffed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, then stepped on the accelerator again to increase the speed.
After an unknown amount of time, after leaving the bustling and noisy city, the uncle drove the car to a remote, seemingly abandoned factory building. Then he took Takabe Eri out of the car and walked into the factory building.
"Welcome, Ms. Takabe Eri."
The moment she entered the factory, a low and cold voice sounded. Takabe Eri looked up and saw a white-haired girl standing in the middle of the empty factory. Her hair was mopped behind her head, and she was wearing a strange black military uniform. At this moment, she squinted her eyes and looked at the purple-haired girl in front of her.
"Who are you?"
Takabe Eri was a little nervous, but still asked.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Altair."
The white-haired girl in a black military uniform slowly walked towards Takabe Eri, looking at her carefully.
"I never thought that you would come to this world..."
"What do you want to do?"
"My wish is very simple, Ms. Takabe Eri. I just want you to do me a favor."
"help??"
Hearing what Altair said, Takabe Eri was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, I think you should know what this world is and what it represents. I hope to use your ability to find the observer and communicate with it."
“……!”
Hearing this, Takabe Eri was shocked.
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
However, before Eri Takabe could finish her words, Altair suddenly reached out and pressed a saber against Eri Takabe's throat.
"You know what I'm talking about, Ms. Takabe Eri. Your appearance in this world itself means that the observer has entered... Take me to see it, it's that simple."
“…”
Takabe Eri didn't say anything, but Altair stared at her. Then she moved her hand forward slightly - the sharp blade immediately cut the girl's snow-white neck, and a trace of blood flowed out.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
And Eri Takabe stared at Altair and spoke again word by word.
"Really..."
Perhaps sensing from Takabe Eri's eyes her determination not to back down, Altair retracted his sword.
"Then, I have no choice but to completely destroy this amusement park... I think the observers don't want to see this happen. Many people will die, including the little girl you just met. They will be helpless and face the end of the world miserably..."
However, before Altair could finish her words, she suddenly flashed back and swung the sword in her hand. Then, a series of "clang clang" sounds rang out, accompanied by shining sparks, and bullets enveloped Altair like a storm.
At the same time, Homura Akemi suddenly appeared beside Eri Takabe and put her arm around her shoulders. In just a moment, the two of them quickly distanced themselves from Altair.
“Who is it?!”
Altair clenched his sword angrily and looked forward. Then, from the dark shadows, Fang Zheng walked out slowly.
"I see... I didn't expect Takabe Eri to have this ability... This really reminds me."
Fang Zheng clenched the snow-white dagger in his hand and aimed at Altair, while looking thoughtfully at Takabe Eri standing next to him. He didn't know what the other party wanted to do with Takabe Eri, but after eavesdropping on Altair's conversation, Fang Zheng suddenly realized.
In the original work, Eri Takabe is able to break through the fourth wall to communicate with the player. If we look at it from a realistic perspective, it is actually connecting from a low-dimensional space to a high-dimensional space, which is generally impossible to do.
But there is one exception.
That is, Eri Takabe is the creation of creatures from a higher-dimensional space.
Just like Fang Zheng's three clones, Fang Zheng can observe and influence other worlds at any time through them, but due to the tragic case of Kuang San, Fang Zheng did not give his clones independent personalities. However, Takabe Eri is likely to be a clone individual with an independent personality created by a higher-dimensional space.
"Who are you?"
Looking at Fang Zheng in front of him, Altair asked coldly, but Fang Zheng just snorted.
"There's no need for a dead person to know so much. Anyway... you've taken care of my little cuties, and I'm here to return the favor... Go to hell!"
Before he finished speaking, Fang Zheng suddenly swung his sword and rushed towards Altair.
"it's useless!"
Facing Fang Zheng's attack, Altair also growled, and then long swords emerged from her side, quickly formed a circle, and then shot towards Fang Zheng at a rapid speed.
"This thing wants to stop me too?"
Facing Altair's rain of swords, Fang Zheng was not at all afraid. Behind him, the originally empty space quickly flashed with golden waves, and then sharp blades flew out from it and rushed towards the rain of swords shot by Altair.
“Ding ding ding ding ding!!!”
Amidst the crisscrossing rain of swords, Fang Zheng rushed to Altair and swung his sword. Altair swung his sword with a sneer on his face. At the same time, Fang Zheng held the dagger tightly in his left hand and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
As the gunshot rang out, Altair's body trembled suddenly and stopped moving. Then Fang Zheng stabbed out with a sword, piercing her chest.
“Puff——!”
Blood splattered everywhere, but Altair was not panicked at all. She just looked at Fang Zheng in front of her with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"It's useless. You can't beat me."
As he spoke, Altair raised his right hand.
"The Fourteenth Movement of the Myriad Things - [Cause and Effect Transformation]"
As Altair finished his words, blood suddenly spurted out from Fang Zheng's body, but Fang Zheng did not hold back. Instead, he turned around and kicked Altair directly in the abdomen, sending him flying.
“Bang!!”
Altair was kicked hard and fell to the ground, but when she stood up again, her expression became extremely surprised.
"Why? How could it be..."
“Is it strange?”
Fang Zheng silently injected himself with a shot of medical glue, quickly healing his wounds, and then sneered as he looked at Altair across from him. Blood was still oozing out of the latter's chest, which was not surprising at first, but for Altair at the moment, this situation was extremely strange.
As a creature that lost its creator, she has the ability to create everything from nothingness. As long as she uses the acquired settings, she can easily use any power. The same is true for the [Causal Conversion] just now. Originally, Altair only needed to use this ability to transfer this fact to Fang Zheng, so that he would not be harmed.
As a result, the damage was not transferred but rather spread out?
Why? It shouldn't be like this...!
"So……"
Gripping the sword tightly in his hand, Altair stared at Fang Zheng intently and swung it hard again.
But the next moment, a scene appeared that was beyond Altair's imagination.
Suddenly, a huge X appeared in front of the white-haired girl, with [404 NOT FOUND] written on it.
“This, this is…?”
"Do you think I would just show up in front of you without any suspicion? Idiot?"
Fang Zheng clenched the sword again, stared at Altair and grinned ferociously.
"I've discovered your ability a long time ago. Haha, isn't it just a fan creation? It's so easy to deal with you. All I have to do is delete all the information about you on the Internet and forbid others to upload any information about 'Altaïr' and 'Shimaki Setsuna'. Then your ability will have no strength at all."
"You, you actually... dare!!!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Altair became furious. As she roared, a huge magic circle took shape in front of her. At the same time, Fang Zheng also clenched his sword.
"Prepare to die! No one will remember you, no matter if it's Altair or Shima Qi Setsuna. No one will remember your existence. You and your stupid creator will disappear forever!"
Along with Fang Zheng's roar, the greatsword suddenly swept across the ground, and then, the blazing first fire instantly broke out, covering the entire sword body.
"You, you actually dare to insult my Lord, I will kill you ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"It is you who will die!! You damned bastard, you dared to attack my woman. I will make you taste the pain you will never forget! I will make your creator forgotten by everyone forever, and all traces of her existence will disappear from this world forever! And you, too, will cease to exist!"
“Go to hell!!”
Along with Altair's roar, the magic circle instantly burst into a dazzling light. At the same time, Fang Zheng also raised the greatsword in his hand - the flames that broke through the sky rushed straight into the sky.
"This is my line, die--!!"
The next moment, the attacks from both sides collided directly.
