Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

Subtitle: Fairy of the Lake

——Mingfei woke up

He sat blankly on the church bench, staring blankly at the statue of the Crucifixion of Jesus. He was dumbfounded for more than twenty seconds before suddenly coming back to his senses.

It's like being weightless for a moment when falling from a bungee jump, or like a drowning person being forcibly pulled up.

His eyes were inexplicably moist.

It was as if I had had an extremely long dream. When I woke up suddenly, the residual warmth of emotion was swirling in my eyes, but when I opened my mouth, nothing came out.

There was a touch on my fingertips.

Soft to the touch.

Hard to the touch.

The tanned hide of an animal.

parchment.

He lowered his head and looked at what he was holding tightly in his hands.

--Huh

-Why am I holding it tightly?

"Ship of Theseus"

Ancient Greek philosophy.

Darian gave her own tips.

"hint."

Yes, it's a tip.

"A hint of what?"

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but spit out questions.

But new questions followed.

".Why am I thinking this?"

really.

This issue seems to be over.

It ended when Prelati was discovered.

Prompt that you have completed your work

?

If it's over, why do you still think about it at this moment?

"Ship of Theseus"

Prelati's reading is the plan to resurrect writing and create Joan of Arc.

Using the Jealousy Witch as raw material, she continuously stripped off her spiritual energy, rewritten it into the appearance of Jeanne d'Arc Alter, and then filled it back in.

Repeat, reciprocate, continue

Then you can get the brand new ‘Ship of Theseus (Joan of Arc)’.

"."

Inexplicably concerned.

This tip always feels like it’s more than that.

It seems that during the long process of replacing the Jealous Witch that was skipped, an individual named Lu Mingfei found some kind of clue.

"Ship of Theseus."

Whisper.

Whisper.

Confusion and talking to oneself.

recall.

Cover your head.

"Well"

A slightly painful moan. But I can't remember.

Trying to recall, racking my brain and thinking, only some fragmentary pictures flashed before my eyes.

It seems that I said something to someone.

What conversation was held with someone in the skipped 'time'.

Seems like an important conversation.

Is it Janet?

Think carefully.

Although he could no longer remember everything, the instinct was still engraved into his body. Lu Mingfei couldn't explain the specific content, but he knew that he had spent a long time with Janet.

But it's not right.

I haven't discussed this topic with her before.

yes.

——Lu Mingze’s somewhat lonely look flashed away

Are you talking to Lu Mingze about the story of the Ship of Theseus?

but why?

Ship of Theseus, dismantle A into parts and constantly replace them with B.

It's almost like a sacrifice.

Is A sacrificed to give B a new life?

Or will B's life be replaced by A?

What does this have to do with the little devil? What is the connection between myself and the little devil?

Why are you talking to him about this?

I always think it is a boring topic.

But remember.

The mind does not remember, but the body does.

If you continue to think deeply, you will feel that even thinking about it is strange.

"--elder brother"

Very soft voice.

The little devil was sitting next to him at some point.

As a matter of course.

It seems to have always been there.

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask him some question, but the words came to his lips but he couldn't come out anyway.

".?"

"This is a bonus service."

Lu Mingze said.

His eyes were fixed directly on the statue of the crucified Jesus.

He always looked at his 'brother' with a deep gaze, rarely looking at Lu Mingfei beside him.

"Brother, I have reminded you many times, the third level of gene lock - when you half complain and half understand this 'thinking simulation' ability, its side effects will follow. What are you always complaining about? Damn it, if you use this ability too many times, you will really go crazy."

"what did I do?"

Lu Mingfei put down the parchment in his hand and rubbed his temples.

"You tried to simulate me, brother. This is very dangerous. It is very dangerous for you at this level. We have already made a transaction, and I can't leave the customer's life or death during the transaction process, so I used some The rough method also eliminates certain parts of the 'instinct' on the physical level."

"Physical level?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused.

The little devil tilted his head: "To be specific, when you are rolling around in pain on the ground, I will hit your neck hard to make you unconscious. The force is too strong, so it may cause intermittent mental states. trauma."

When the little devil said this, Lu Mingfei seemed to have a vaguely funny picture of himself rolling around on the ground in front of him like the teased Tom cat in "Tom and Jerry".

"Do you need me to play the video for you?" The little devil smiled narrowly.

Lu Mingfei covered his face silently: "Forget it, my head hurts so much, maybe it's because of this, hiss -"

Lu Mingfei gasped.

When Lu Mingze said this, he always felt like a phantom pain was really appearing on the back of his head.

Why would you forcefully imitate Lu Mingze when you have nothing to do?

I am not familiar with him.

The more he thought about this part of the problem, the duller his brain became and the more his thoughts ached. Some kind of instinct like PTSD made Lu Mingfei actively avoid this problem.

"What am I doing here?"

Lu Mingfei muttered and thought.

"This is the six hundred and sixty-sixth and last 'replacement'. The girl you have worked so hard to bring back is about to be 'born'."

"Oh, yes, I remembered it. It's completed. Did I skip six hundred and sixty reincarnations? Each reincarnation is one day. Turtle, did this skip almost two years? I'm It hasn’t been this long in Chaldea, right? Am I considered twenty years old now?”

Lu Mingfei clicked his tongue in surprise.

Habitually speaking nonsense.

But there is no real feeling in my heart.

The power called the Crimson King actually has many performance bugs in the original comic "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind" that are inconsistent with the setting.

The power Lu Mingfei used was not so much the Crimson King, but rather the 'Crimson King in his impression'.

The word spirit of the King's Krimsong, combined with Ophelia's gemstone magic eye, allowed Lu Mingfei to have an "experience" of a time leap from a super-dimensional perspective.

Objectively those things happened.

Subjectively, I have never experienced that.

There is no explicit memory.

It just left a vague impression on the body.

If you think carefully, you can think of something.

But I can't figure out the details, most of them are scattered picture fragments.

——But this is actually a good thing.

Otherwise, during the process of deleting time, Lu Mingfei saw countless future possibilities at various points in time through the future vision eye. Those contradictory and confusing information were enough to make his brain shut down.

Ended at the 666th time.

In other words, the number of expeditions against Sariel exceeded six hundred.

Even if I don't remember it, the impression is engraved on my body.

Get up.

He jumped twice on the spot.

Because the spiritual base of a certain heroic spirit obtained is too powerful, the improvement in strength itself is not obvious now, but the details of the movements of the hands and feet are more flexible.

The punch movement is also more natural.

He clenched his fists.

Thickness.

Power like granite.

Explosive like a rocket.

Powerful, accompanied by confidence, like spring water gushing out.

"I feel like I'm invincible."

"Yes, if we don't encounter any super enemies."

"No, brother, I'm a little scared when you say this, please don't be so talkative."

Lu Mingfei whispered.

Shrinking his neck.

Then there was silence.

The two brothers looked up at the height of the church.

Statue of the Crucifixion of Jesus.

Waiting for the girl to arrive.

"."

"."

". Talk about it"

Lu Mingfei interrupted the somewhat awkward silence.

"Little devil, what do you think of her?"

"Brother, are you asking me what I think?"

"right."

".elder brother."

"What's wrong?"

"I am quite satisfied with my current sister-in-law."

"Who told you this! I mean Janet! I don't have any bad thoughts about her!"

"Oh——" the little devil deliberately prolonged his tone.

"You're thinking too much. She's so young, and I brought her up little by little. Compared with boyfriends and girlfriends, I now have the mentality of an old father who is watching his daughter grow up, okay?"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

"Having said that, I seem to have recalled some impressions. It seems that every time Janet's reincarnation starts, her appearance will grow slightly older than the last time. The last time she seemed to be almost as old as Sakura-chan. ——Oh, it’s just a pity that I’m not tall, I’m a dwarf like you.”

"."

"." Lu Mingfei glanced at Lu Mingze secretly, and then averted his eyes.

Lu Mingze sighed:

"If you put it this way, twenty times ago, that girl's mind was indeed as blank as a blank slate. Indeed, because of your strong request, brother, I played a house game with her as a family of three."

"I seem to be a little impressed by what you said. What are you playing?"

"Stop making trouble. I remember it very clearly. There is also a video. My brother and I have played the roles of father and mother respectively. That naughty kid was still obedient a hundred times, but he started to act after two hundred and eighty-five times. They were getting into trouble, shouting, 'I'm going to beat mom and take dad away'."

"Hiss—you said that, why can't I remember it? You're not bluffing me, are you?"

"Then how about waiting for her to be 'born' later, and then I can take out some videos, set up a makeshift cinema, and play our brothers' parenting diary on the big screen?"

"No! What kind of brothers are not brothers! Friend, NO Gay! I clearly remember that when you played the role of mother, the one you had online was a little succubus, okay? You don't want a male mother, you don't want a male mother!"

Lu Mingze glanced at Lu Mingfei who was talking nonsense: "I wonder which guy simulated 'Lu Xiang', 'Lumary' and 'Luna' in the palace of thinking?"

"Th-those are all side effects!"

Lu Mingfei tilted his head and started to act stupid.

"."

"."

"Not here yet?"

"It's only been a few seconds, hurry up."

"Why do I feel like we two are like parents waiting for our children to come out outside the college entrance examination room?"

".Do you need me to prepare?"

"Oh? Are you going to change your number and join the little succubus?"

"No, I will prepare some women's clothes for you. Do you want a bunny girl? Or a cheongsam? I also have a Greek dress. I can even give you a laser to remove your leg hair, brother, so as not to leave a psychological shadow on the baby." Lu Mingze Rolled his eyes.

The two seemed to be a real family of brothers and sisters, bickering and teasing each other.

Lu Mingfei didn't know why he suddenly became familiar with Lu Mingze.

Didn't even notice this change.

Then, the voice that broke the awkward conversation, but the inexplicably warm atmosphere was——

Snapped!

The church door was kicked open.

Boom!

The wooden door hit the masonry walls on both sides, making a dull and crisp sound.

"--I'm coming!"

The two of them turned back together.

The person who kicked open the door and burst into the church shouting like an idiot was a strange-looking woman.

Although it is strange.

But the white hair and the sense of déjà vu in the various colors of the clothes still allowed Lu Mingfei to see through the other party's identity at a glance.

It's Demon King Prelati.

For her who is proficient in illusions and can even turn the damage she receives into harmless flowers, changing her appearance is just a very common trick.

Prelati did not deliberately hide her identity, so her own characteristics, such as her weird eyes, were still retained.

It would be strange not to be able to see it.

Although I can't remember it, in more than 600 reincarnations, I should have dealt with Prelati.

An eerie feeling that is both strange and familiar.

"What are you dressed up like? Are you the fairy of the lake?"

Lu Mingfei said casually.

Prelaty smiled heartily:

"Can you see? Because the ceremony has ended, the nightmare night is about to dawn, and I have to be prepared in case my enemies come to my door, so I used illusions on myself and changed my existence to a suspicious one. Not only the appearance of the heroic spirit, but also the skill set, personality, and temperament, except for the memory, have all been modified to look like Merlin in my impression——

Ah, of course, my devil, even though Merlin himself has no gender, I still made myself a female version of Merlin. "

Did Prelaty change her appearance, including her personality, except her memory?

Can illusions still be used like this?

Lu Mingfei glanced at the little devil calmly.

Lu Mingze seemed to be in a good mood and responded immediately - nodding.

It's actually true?

Then why does Lu Mingfei still feel that Prelati in front of him deserves a beating?

Could it be that Merlin has this kind of character?

If you think about it carefully, during the decisive battle in Fuyuki, King Arthur suggested that Chaldea try to get Merlin's help, but he also mentioned that there was something wrong with Merlin's character.

Is Merlin also a pleasure criminal?

"Then as usual - hmm!"

Prelaty coughed twice in a pretentious and cute way.

"Caster, Mellie Prelati, come in response to the summons! My devil, you are my Mast——"

"——Who asked you to steal the lines that I have been practicing for a long time!"

Prelatti was kicked away.

It was as funny as a character in a comedy cartoon flying out and hitting the ground several times before stopping seven or eight meters away.

The girl who kicked her away finally revealed herself.

Lu Mingze shrugged: "This shy girl finally came out."

Lu Mingfei immediately followed: "Oh my, is she already rebellious at just over one year old? What the hell is the child going to do? Dad, I don't remember raising her to be such a child~"

"Stop talking about you! I don't remember what happened during that time either!"

The white-haired dragon witch puffed up her cheeks angrily.

"I-I've been listening outside for a long time! What the hell are you talking about? I'm too embarrassed to come out, okay!"

Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze spread their hands and shrugged together like mirror images.

Indeed, it was a little over the top.

--So

Let’s get back to the point.

Lu Mingfei stopped joking.

The nightmare has begun to collapse, and the boys and girls are about to officially set foot on the land of the French Singularity.

Ritual things must be done at this time.

The dragon witch in front of me is Jeanne Alter.

Although her personality is much different from that of that cute little Janet, even Lu Mingfei can't remember how he cultivated her with such a memory - and the other party is probably the same - but he just feels that this kind of tsundere accounts for more than Jiao. I have a 70% feeling that this is Jeanne d'Arc Alter.

"Come on, Alter, haven't you memorized the lines for a long time?"

Black Jeanne - Alta opened her mouth several times and closed it several times.

Although I can’t remember clearly what happened in the middle.

But the instinct that penetrated deep into her bones told her that the person in front of her was her most important person, her family, and her newly born 'world'.

However, the awkwardness of a rebellious girl kept Alta from speaking out.

Finally, when Mellie struggled to get up and wanted to do something more to stimulate Alta——

The Dragon Witch shouted angrily!

"So annoying!"

With terrifying firepower output, a huge explosion rose into the sky with her as the center, directly blowing the ceiling of the entire church into the sky.

The book witch lady in the basement seemed to complain twice.

The moonlight shines down.

It's just that there is no longer the ominousness and gloom of before.

Alta planted the battle flag in her hand on the floor.

"You! It's better to choose me than that suspicious guy!"

He tilted his head, full of arrogance.

"Hurry up and make me your servant!"

←to be continued!

I feel like I'm starting to have insomnia again

By the way, in order to easily distinguish him from Bai Zhen, Hei Zhen's name is Alter.

Heidi?

Let's wait until Landai has a chance to appear before making distinctions.
