Chapter 145

"I have something to ask of you. Are you free these few days?"

One day in 2011, a local news report mentioned that in a certain car accident, a girl who was run over by a vehicle miraculously survived without any injuries.

"...Speaking of which, regarding the interference here, how many plans have we implemented?"

After confirming that the intervention was successful, the Chaldeans gathered together for a meeting again. Ritsuka Fujimaru pointed at the report projection on the screen and glanced at everyone suspiciously.

"The plan we decided at the beginning was to use the Noble Phantasm of Asclepius." Kirshtalia took a notebook and organized all the plans for Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Because the place where he died in a car accident is also the end of a world line - although we have separated this world from the main trunk, it is better to be safe and let most of the important events happen as usual."

"For example, the two events in 2007 still happened - but we changed the outcome of both events."

"But Asclepius's treasure probably wasn't used this time." Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment and moved his finger to the photo in the report. "If it was Asclepius, there should be a process of the corpse resurrecting to become a living being, not the unharmed one in the report."

"Then Avalon and Malbus can both be ruled out." Fujimaru Ritsuka picked up the chalk and quickly wrote down three plans on the blackboard, then crossed them out. "These two also have a process of healing from injuries - how come we have prepared so many plans for a car accident!!!"

"There are many more." Kirshtalia looked at the proposers of the original plans helplessly, and then continued to report other plans, "After that, there is the illusion of Merlin and Ms. Avalon; then there is the Hebrew blessing 'Gift', which is the miracle of the saints; and there is the Yin-Yang technique of Lord Haruaki and Miss Tamamonomae; and Miss Custer and Mr. Noah's confrontation and defense."

"Anti-Positive Defense is useless." Lansemero, who was the original proposer of this plan, smiled and ruled out a type of plan that was useless for them. "If it was this, the report should be that it was hit by a vehicle but miraculously unharmed. Moreover, Noah's Anti-Positive Defense is the same as the Pharaoh's pyramid. It is the Ark itself, not a blessing that can be bestowed on others. Only Caster's treasure can grant someone a certain number of Anti-Positive Defense within a fixed time."

"A car cannot run over a person who has received the blessing of the True Defense. There is a high possibility that the car will deform as if it hit a wall, causing an accidental explosion or something."

"Can we remove the illusion?" Fujimaru Ritsuka crossed out the plan for the defense against the illusion with chalk, and pointed to the left side of the illusion plan, and turned back to look at everyone, "Because this report took a photo - if it is affected by the illusion, when the mission is completed and the illusion is removed, this photo should change."

"The illusion didn't work, but I don't know if the gift thing worked." Roman squatted down on the edge of the podium, leaving only his eyes exposed as he stared at the blackboard. "Merlin and the others went to the scene, but they didn't use illusions. If I'm to be more reliable, I think the Yin-Yang technique was the solution that was ultimately implemented and worked."

"Although we can use divine authority at will most of the time, the blessing of a saint-level miracle must be done by the Lord himself. The Lord may not necessarily—"

“Well, I said that myself.” Fujimaru Ritsuka discarded the illusion plan, slowly turned around and looked at Roman, covered his mouth and laughed out loud, “I saw Yahweh give Rika Kimoto a temporary blessing ‘Gift’ - a one-time blessing ‘Gift’ that will be taken back as long as the mission is completed after the car accident.”

"Then I don't know which plan worked." Kirshtalia flipped through her notebook and turned her head to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka helplessly, "Because the Onmyoji plan has also been implemented - it was done by Lord Haruaki and Miss Tamamonomae who sneaked into the shrine they visited during the New Year's Day pilgrimage at the beginning of this year."

"Ms. Tamamonomae's plan was combined with Lord Haruaki's plan, right? I remember." Fujimaru Ritsuka tiptoed to Kirshtalia's side to read the contents of the notebook, "Ms. Tamamonomae's proposal at the time was to use defense - and Lord Haruaki's plan was the substitution technique."

"The substitution technique... Actually, it should be Doman's suggestion - or Doman must have mixed it in."

Roman and Lancermello exchanged glances with quite subtle expressions.

"Lord Haruaki stuffed the substitute paper figure into the guardian shrine that Miss Tamamonomae was going to give to Riko Kimoto..." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the plan written in Kirshtalia's notebook, grabbed Kirshtalia's arm and fell into deep thought, "So we didn't make any plans for recruiting Otsuke Yuta to the high school after Riko Kimoto survived?"

"That's a good question." Marinesberry subtly averted his eyes.

"But we really haven't done it." Kirshtalia held back a laugh and clenched the notebook in her hand, and made a suggestion to everyone, "Although there is still some time before Otsutsuki Yuta reaches school age, shouldn't we come up with a plan first? After all, in the original development, Otsutsuki Yuta didn't show the talent of a sorcerer before he cursed Kimoto Riko."

"Then let's continue the meeting, but it's time to change the topic." El-Melloi II glanced at everyone with disdain, grabbed the blackboard eraser to erase what Fujimaru Ritsuka had written before, and wrote a new topic on the blackboard with chalk. "Then, the most important first step is to let Otsukuo Yuta show his talent as a sorcerer."

"Speaking of which, ordinary people will see cursed spirits when they are dying or extremely frightened—" As Fujimaru Ritsuka walked down from the podium, he turned his gaze to Mashu, "Look, isn't this just like when Galahad gave his power to Mashu and made Mashu a sub-servant?"

"Oh yeah, the control room exploded and everyone was on the verge of death."

Those who witnessed the explosion in the control room shook their heads helplessly when they recalled the explosion.

"There's actually a simpler explanation." Roman glanced at the former Team A members and Olgamari, who all looked unhappy, and changed the subject away from the explosion in the control room. "It's like when humans are between life and death, or in critical situations, they can go beyond their limits - just like the parents mentioned in some news reports who were able to lift a car by themselves to save their children."

"This means that our first step is to create a situation that will make Otsutsuki Yuta use his cursed power subconsciously." El-Melloi II tapped the blackboard and turned to look at the people gathered around the podium. "And in order to avoid the attention of the top leaders of the Jujutsu Directorate - first of all, there can't be many ordinary people in this situation. It would be best if there is only Otsutsuki Yuta or only him and Inorimoto Rika."

"Secondly, according to Otsutsukoshi Yuta's original records, his spells are copies of other sorcerers' spells." Lansemello picked up the information at hand and shook it at everyone, "So there must be at least a magician in this environment - as for the sorcerers, it's better to avoid them for the time being."

"...I have an idea." Fujimaru Ritsuka put his hands together and slowly looked at El-Melloi II. "Well, actually - can we try to reconstruct a tiny anomaly? Just create a tiny anomaly to stimulate Otsukoi Yuta's potential, and the existence of the tiny anomaly itself will not affect the real world."

"The world can basically repair itself with tiny peculiarities."

"And if you can create a tiny peculiarity away from the crowd, it won't affect reality at all."

"Have you decided what kind of micro-exotic point you want to build?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Uh... considering scaring people - Chahedis?"

"Rebuttal—that's hilarious."

Finally, they chose Onigashima as the tiny feature to replicate.

Taking into account Otsutsuki Yuta's own cultural background, Fujimaru Ritsuka still chose Onigashima, where Sakata Kintoki first appeared as a Rider, as the final plan - of course, what kind of transformation this tiny feature will undergo before it is actually used is something that Fujimaru Ritsuka does not know.

Three months later, the tiny anomaly was ready. Before bringing Otkotsu Yuta to Onigashima, the members who went to the island first included not only the magician who was going to fight Otkotsu Yuta, but also a group of infirmary members who were ready to turn people from near death to full blood at any time, and a group of magicians who guarded the edge of Onigashima to prevent other people from accidentally entering or Otkotsu Yuta from escaping accidentally.

"A boy and a girl appeared in the same place - oh, what a classic story start." Sitting in the headquarters control room to monitor the situation inside the tiny anomaly, Fujimaru Ritsuka leaned his head and sighed when he saw Otsukotsu Yuta and Norimoto Rika appear on Onigashima together, "Attention, all units, Norimoto Rika is following in, don't get hurt."

"Understood." El-Melloi II replied to the control room, looking at the two people who were assigned to be the first level of Onigashima for Otsutsu Yuta along with him. "According to the instructions, other Servants will be responsible for forcing Otsutsu Yuta into a desperate situation, or creating a development that will lead to his near-death or inevitable death. What we have to ensure is that after Otsutsu Yuta is able to stimulate the cursed power and use it, he will be able to copy the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid."

"That is to say—"

"The only fighting force we can use right now is Terimumawu."

The mercury maid who was lifted up stood quietly behind Lenis, holding a pot of steaming black tea and waiting for her master's next action instructions. Lenis looked at the magic dress in Gray's hand standing behind El-Melloi II, and while listening to El-Melloi II reiterating the arrangements for this mission, her thoughts wandered uncontrollably.

"Only when Yuta Otsutsuki uses his cursed power to create a physical replica of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, will the first gate of Onigashima open for him." El-Melloi II turned his head to look at the foot of the mountain. His enhanced vision due to the possession of Zhuge Kongming allowed him to see Yuta Otsutsuki who was protecting Rika Inori from escaping. "So - are you ready, Leness?"

"Of course, my dear brother." Laness collected her thoughts and gave El-Melloi II a happy smile.
