Chapter 036 [Inverted V] 36

"If we go in that direction... it's the underground area." Fujimaru Ritsuka finally found the floor plan of the building on the wall on the first floor and sighed with regret, "What a pity, I can only briefly mention this to everyone later - let me see... ah, I found it."

"The emergency staircase to the upper floors is here."

Miss Yuzhu, who had climbed the Hundred-Storied Pagoda in the past, easily opened the door of the emergency passage and walked upstairs with brisk steps.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka just entered the special point, the Shibuya in front of her was brightly lit and crowded with people; but the interior of the building she entered now was completely different from the scene outside - although the intersection and the edge were two completely different scenes, when Fujimaru Ritsuka stepped onto the stairs, she felt a more obvious sense of separation than before.

"Is it a cycle..." Fujimaru Ritsuka stopped in front of the door leading to the second floor, his eyes fell on the door handle that also shone with a brand new silver light, "This is not an electron sea either - so it should be the Meiji Restoration's special point of 'escaping extinction'? Hmm... It seems that the holder of the Holy Grail no longer has the energy to maintain the special point in the details."

Dark brown bloodstains finally began to appear on the door handle that Fujimaru Ritsuka had been staring at - and then, the entire emergency passage was completely covered with dried bloodstains.

"Mmmmm..." Fujimaru Ritsuka touched his chin seriously, squatted down and touched the dried blood at his feet, "It looks like this place has been stained with blood more than once - are we too late, or can the changes in this anomaly even affect memory?"

"Could it be that... the disconnection with Chaldea is also caused by this anomaly?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka cautiously reached out and pushed open the door, then muttered as he stepped into the equally dark area on the second floor. At the same time, the expressions of everyone in the Chaldea control room were all uniformly ugly.

Since the start of the soul transfer, not only has the four people heading to the singularity lost contact, but even the existence of the singularity itself has become ambiguous and unclear. This time, even Sheba cannot directly observe Fujimaru Ritsuka, who has an observation anchor on his body.

"...Try to contact Fujimaru through the spirit particle communication again." Lansemero took a deep breath, tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and notified everyone in the control room, "Assuming we still can't contact Fujimaru and the others, I have two more ways to try to contact them - once the observation of the special point stabilizes, we will seize the time to revise the proof of Fujimaru's existence."

"If the situation continues to deteriorate, what will the Lord do?" Kirshtalia, who was sitting below, turned around and asked Lansemello who was standing above, "Phoenix Chaldea - or our world, must not lose Ritsuka as a 'human'."

"Then we can only trust Fujimaru herself." Lansemello sighed helplessly, and moved his eyes to the projection screen where there was still only a piece of snowflakes. "We can only believe that the savior who has experienced so many storms can solve the problem of Shibuya alone - sending more people may cause new changes in the anomaly. Besides..."

"We have taught her so many skills that may come in handy."

"I am confident that Ritsuka will be able to return smoothly." Roman opened the information about the world that Sheba had previously recorded and frowned irritably. "It's just that I'm worried that this singularity will be completely different from any other singularity we have seen before..."

"After all, based on the only stable observation data of the anomaly at the beginning of the soul transfer, the accurate data of the human ethics foundation value of the Shibuya anomaly should be A++, the same as the seventh anomaly. In other words, there may not be evil humans here, but there will definitely be guys who are as difficult to deal with as the Three Goddesses Alliance holding the Holy Grail."

"...Actually, the Three Goddesses Alliance is pretty easy to deal with - at least compared to Kingo and Tiamat." Mash paused and chose to tell everyone his guess, "Although there will be no human evil, I think, in terms of difficulty... I think this guy with the special point should be at the level of the Goddess of Warcraft plus the Tide of Chaos."

"...This level of difficulty is a bit beyond my expectations." Da Vinci complained while trying to adjust the instruments to observe the internal conditions of the anomaly. "Mashu, are you talking about the difficulty of the anomaly itself, or the difficulty of the person holding the Holy Grail? If it is as difficult as Kingu..."

"My intuition tells me that he is a Bluebeard type." Mashu was silent for a moment and opened the document that recorded the subspecies news belt. "A more appropriate one should be the wizard Asaya Doman who became an alien god apostle in the pan-human history. My intuition tells me that this guy is not good at direct combat."

"But, since I can't see you any more, I'm still worried about you."

The atmosphere in the entire control room fell silent - only the sound of the staff typing on their keyboards echoed in the control room with a cold metallic luster.

"Hey, hey..." As Fujimaru Ritsuka moved forward, the entire scene on the second floor changed in front of her eyes. "This is not just a matter of being a little late, right? No, if we were not late...how many times have we experienced such exploration in this anomaly?"

The illuminating rune stone illuminated the way forward for Fujimaru Ritsuka in the darkness, and the scene in front of him changed with every step Fujimaru Ritsuka took forward - dark brown bloodstains were casually splashed on the ground beneath his feet like free paint, and it was obvious that blood had flowed here more than once to leave such traces.

"Although I don't know what happened here before..." Fujimaru Ritsuka turned his head to look at the blood-stained elevator button, "But if we think about the worst case scenario, we will also die in this special point - but considering the current situation, this special point does not have the ability to perfectly disguise the contract between the master and the servant."

"At least the worst possibility has been ruled out."

Ritsuka Fujimaru walked towards the other end of the second floor, looking at the shops on both sides - as the disguise disappeared, many of the glass doors in front of Ritsuka Fujimaru turned into sharp blood-stained glass fragments, hanging on the doors danglingly; even some display cabinets in the stores were smashed, and the surfaces that barely remained intact were also covered with chaotic bloody handprints.

"The world where this anomaly is located is a world with a mysterious side just like the 'Type-Moon' where we were born..." As Fujimaru Ritsuka moved forward, he began to think about the possibility of human actuarial calculations after the repairs were completed. "The situation at the fifth anomaly is very troublesome because it is a complete country - Shibuya is just a district in a city..."

"No, although that's what I said, there are tourists from all over the world in Shibuya on Halloween--" Fujimaru Ritsuka pushed open the shaky door of a store, walked to the window and looked around, "and this is a city, so the dead will definitely not be killed by beasts... No, the most important question is--"

"Are the casualties in this anomaly caused by those guys who disappeared after the mysterious decline and never existed in this world, or are they cursed spirits that exist in this world and will not disappear as long as humans do not perish?"

"If the cursed spirits that still exist in this era caused such casualties, human economics should not change the cause of death." Fujimaru Ritsuka leaned against the window, looking at the moving parade not far away, "But this will expose the mystery to ordinary people, so the authorities must have an official statement to cover up this incident..."

"Ah... it can't be the common gas explosion in Fuyuki City? What kind of gas would be enough to affect the entire Shibuya!?"

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to leave the window, a strong smell of blood enveloped her - the air filled with the strong smell of blood even made people wonder if there was blood mist around her, otherwise how could it make people feel that even their clothes were soaked with blood, becoming heavy and sticky.

At the same time, behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had no time to pay attention, the half white moon hanging in the sky was gradually stained with the color of blood.

"...I smell blood." Abe Haruaki looked towards the center of the intersection with an ugly expression, "Okita, get ready - we don't know when the Master will come back, and Emiya is probably on his way back. I think...you should have noticed that guy, right?"

"Um."

Souji Okita stared straight at the bloody figure in the center of the intersection that turned from a phantom into a solid entity. He reached out and gripped the hilt of the sword at his side. The light green feather cloth had replaced his usual cherry-colored kimono. As the bloody figure completely became a solid entity, the empty crossroads was instantly filled with a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

“Where is the Master!?” Emiya hurried back to the intersection and turned into a physical form, appearing beside his two companions. The moment his eyes reached the center of the intersection, he could no longer move away, “This is——”

Even though the thick blood mist had covered the entire intersection, the three people still saw the figure sitting comfortably on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. As the figure solidified, four arms appeared in the eyes of the three people, announcing their identity to them.

"Impossible! This guy doesn't have divinity!!!" Abe Haruaki looked at the figure with four arms and gritted his teeth to deny the three people's common guess. "Although it is said that the eight million gods in Japan are very exaggerated, even the Fukuei God has divinity, but this guy doesn't even have divinity E! It is absolutely impossible that he is the ghost god of Hida Province!!!"

"But the mysteries of this world are different from ours." Emiya was silent for a moment. Although his view was blocked by the tall buildings, he still looked in the direction of the Meiji Shrine. "This world does not have any records of the concept of communicating with the gods - perhaps there are no gods in this world at all."

"...The reason I found this anomaly so troublesome before is that there are no gods in this world." A cluster of flames ignited next to Abe Haruaki, and Fujimaru Ritsuka calmly stepped out of the flames and returned to the Servants. "There are no gods or fantasy species in this world - there are only natural sorcerers and curses born from the negative emotions of humans."
