Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

88. The round between Xia Mi and Chu Zihang! Is there really one?

Subtitle: When you feel that the prompt is too obvious but no one notices it, you can’t help but sigh, it turns out that there really is such a thing as darkness under the light.

☆Text☆

Lu Mingfei didn't know the danger on the other side.

He was eating dumplings there.

Circe should be able to sense it to some extent, but I don't know whether to say it is lucky or unfortunate, or it is lucky for Lu Mingfei, but unlucky for Chu Zihang. His attention was completely attracted by what Lu Mingfei had unconsciously tinkered with through his golden experience.

Fantasy tree.

This is something similar to a cosmic egg, and this kind of thing also has a name in magic - [Inherent Barrier].

The inherent barrier is something that a life with intelligence uses to cover reality with its own world view, thus creating something that is like a home in another world that can be carried around.

According to the assessment of the Magicians Association, if a magician is able to construct an [Inherent Barrier] based on his attainments in enchantments, it means that he has reached the realm of magic in this regard.

However, the irony is that although inherent enchantment is classified by magicians as one of the top forms of magic, currently no magician in the world has mastered inherent enchantment, and basically all those who can cast inherent enchantment They are some super-powered people who take wild paths.

It must be said that it is ironic that a group of people who specialize in magic are the ones who have the most difficulty accessing magic.

Circe was in a similar situation.

After all, inherent barriers and cosmic eggs are things that far exceed the power of a great god - although they are not necessarily powerful.

In fact, the heroic spirit Circe's own Noble Phantasm is an attempt to construct an own [Inherent Barrier Technique] through barrier magic.

A small universe in which everyone can be satisfied and thus trapped in it forever.

Not to mention why Circe would study such a thing.

In short, because Circe was completely distracted, although she realized to some extent that it was abnormal that her wish-making ability had not disappeared for a long time, because she wanted to spend more time observing and recording the saplings of the fantasy tree in front of her, Circe deliberately ignored it. This little detail.

Therefore, whether it was Lu Mingfei and Circe, Kenneth and Sola, or even Kong Ming and Gray, they were completely unaware of the crisis that the other group of people was encountering.

Xia Mi said that his spiritual power can control the wind.

She herself called this word spirit the Eye of the Wind King. Although Chaldea's technical staff gave it the name [Cape of Storms] when recording it, Cape of Storms is a real place name, usually called the Cape of Good Hope, which means the sea of ​​beautiful hope. horn.

But Xia Mi felt that this name was not suitable. This ability came from her blood, but the strong and strange blood caused Xia Mi to be incompatible with the surrounding environment during her childhood.

"I have a younger brother, but he is actually my older brother. Because of this bloodline, my older brother has brain problems and low intelligence. He still thinks like a child when he grows up. I don't dare to take him out. Just once he He got lost, and when I found him, he came crying and called me sister - can you imagine how embarrassed I was? From then on, I really hated him."

"I think this power is not a blessing, but a curse. It's a curse from blood. The meaning is unclear and a bit confusing, but just call it the Eyes of the Wind King, which sounds nice. The Cape of Beautiful Hope sounds too weird."

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment while holding the Q version of the pet pig in Xia Mi's arms.

".Your story makes me feel sorry." Chu Zihang tried hard to brew up his emotions and words, "But is it really okay to keep talking like this now? Compared with being hugged by a grown man and crying for sister, I feel that I am treating a pig Talking to oneself is such a thing.”

Xia Mi winked at Chu Zihang in his arms and gave a thumbs up: "Even among the piggies, senior brother, you are the most beautiful one!"

Chu Zihang: "Are you really not Lu Mingfei pretending to be?"

Xia Mi shrugged. There was no response to Chu Zihang’s complaints.

Maybe I can't answer this question.

but.

Chu Zihang watched the identities of himself and Xia Mi flying around, and all kinds of disgusting and densely packed strange insects.

The strange thing is that with two people - one person and one piggy - as the center, there seems to be an isolation circle within an area of ​​about fifteen centimeters. The surrounding insects will not get close even if they are squeezing themselves.

This isolation circle is not fixed, but moves with the movement of the two people.

".How did you do it?" Chu Zihang asked coldly.

Xia Mi seemed to have been waiting for Chu Zihang to ask for a long time. She shook her head as if to be deliberately funny, and answered the question:

"It's just a sudden thought. Just now I was thinking about what Senior Brother Lu would do at this time, and then I suddenly thought of something."

Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to complain, "Why are you thinking about Lu Mingfei in such a critical situation?", but when the words came to his lips, he turned into: "Usually at this time, Lu Mingfei will think about other people. What would people think when faced with the same dangerous situation?"

All in all, it's very serious.

But Xia Mi’s next speech became weird.

"Then I thought of JOJO"

Chu Zihang: "Huh?"

"Didn't you borrow books from each other when you were in junior high school? Although it was only temporary, I was also Senior Brother Chu's girlfriend. Of course I had seen it, so I thought of a substitute who had a little bit of similar abilities to mine. [Weather Forecast], isn’t there a plot in it, in which the weather forecast distorts and refracts light, causing people’s subconscious confusion, cognitive impairment, and mistaking things around them and even themselves as ‘snails’?”

Like Lu Mingfei introducing the plot of his favorite anime, Xia Mi spoke a lot in one breath and took a deep breath:

"Then I just thought about it. Although it can't be that outrageous, the high-speed flowing wind can distort the surrounding light to achieve an effect similar to biological camouflage, deceiving us into the minds of the surrounding creatures. The scene may work."

Xia Mi suddenly asked Chu Zihang: "Fortunately, it was successful, are you right? Senior Brother Chu?"

Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment: "? What, didn't you already know that it can be used in this way, so you called this spiritual power [Eye of the Wind King]?"

Xia Mi was also stunned for a moment: "Ah, yes! Yes, that's why."

Xia Mi's reaction was a little strange. It seemed that Chu Zihang's reaction was different from what she expected. But at this moment, Chu Zihang was distracted because he was thinking about another question, one that he didn't know what to do. Questions that shouldn’t be spoken out.

".Why does this kind of camouflage that hinders recognition work on these bugs?"

Whispering subconsciously.

But it contains a terrible possibility.

Xia Mi's expression changed, and he immediately followed Chu Zihang's train of thought: "You're saying that although my biological camouflage can achieve a similar invisibility effect, it doesn't really disappear. The recognition organs are disguised, but the recognition organs of other animals, especially insects, are different from those of humans. This situation is very unnatural. Unless Brother Chu, you would not want to say that the brains of these strange creatures are different from those of humans. Humans are no different, right?”

Chu Zihang chose silence.

He did not continue to speak, and did not say what he was really thinking. For example, it was not that the brain structures of these weird creatures were similar to humans, but that these weird creatures were transformed from humans.

He had seen a similar existence before, on a night that changed his life.

"What are we in their eyes?" Chu Zihang changed the subject.

"I don't know about that, maybe it's a large piece of rock that's moving back and forth, or maybe it's something huge of the same kind?"

It's quite disgusting when I think about it.

Because they were worried that direct contact with these bugs would lead to their disguise being seen through, the two of them could only be nervous and move forward according to the direction of the wind. In order to relieve the psychological pressure, Chu Zihang was worried that Xia Mi, as a newcomer in the next year, would not be able to hold on. , so he took the initiative to chat with her.

Unexpectedly, Xia Mi started chatting. After becoming nervous, he started talking non-stop.

This is also very similar to Lu Mingfei.

In various stories, such funny characters who provide laughter for the audience in front of the camera are often the safest, but obviously, in this story, they are not.

Guided by the wind, Xia Mi and Chu Zihang headed toward the exit—or, in other words, toward the direction they thought was the exit.

Chu Zihang is indeed rich in knowledge. In Lu Mingfei's words, he is a Zhihu boss in science and engineering. He always says "thank you for the invitation", but this rich knowledge of common sense often makes When Chu Zihang faced something beyond his imagination, he fell into a misunderstanding.

Finding the exit according to the direction of the wind flow is indeed common sense when you are in trouble in a cave.

But - this is a mysterious world.

The location where the exit leads may not necessarily be the outside world that the victims long for, symbolizing rescue, but it may also be another world.

open.

Infinitely empty, the sky is dark, with some dark colors like coagulated blood and grease. Countless red stars shine in the sky, and the ground in front of you is a road, a road that cannot be seen through the lens.

Where is this place?

".Nibelungen." Xia Mi suddenly spit out a strange term.

She looked at the colors of the sky in the distance, seemed to have thought of something, and was a little lost in thought.

Of course Chu Zihang knew what the Nibelungs were. It was the most famous "Nibelungs" story among the Nordic heroic poetry and myths. It recorded the story of Siegfried, the great hero Chaldea had encountered before. story.

Therefore, Nibelungen has been given two meanings, one is the terrifying "land of the dead", and the other is the romantic and heroic color - "the underground world containing treasures".

Of course, most of the time, the two can be equated.

Whether it is Siegfried or Sigurd, or even famous gods such as Odin, Thor, and Loki, there are legends about getting treasures from the underground world, because according to legend, there is a strange creature that lives here, and they are good at it. Forge all kinds of incredible treasures and are called dwarfs.

Similar concepts are referenced in countless games and novels.

The mysterious underground country of the dead does make people think of such words.

--but

There are not only treasures in the Nibelungs, but also various dangers. Even those dangers come from the treasures themselves, which are the curses of the treasures themselves.

--Sudden

Xia Mi and Chu Zihang heard some kind of sound at the same time. The sound seemed to be calling for something. The sound moved from far away to near. The sound waves collided with the surrounding rock walls and kept ejecting to this side. It was difficult to hear what was being said. , it just made the rock walls and the red stars in the sky tremble. What kind of huge monster could his voice cause such an effect?

How far is he from here?

This sound wave even stirred up a gust of wind, which continued into the passage where Chu Zihang and Xia Mi had just come, causing the insects inside to fall into chaos and start killing each other.

Xia Mi's expression suddenly changed: "We must escape from here immediately!"

As if responding to the girl's voice, the red stars in the sky stirred by the sound waves revealed their true appearance!

This is not a star at all! But the eyes of countless, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of monsters crawling on the rock walls of the underground Land of the Dead! These monsters vigilantly observed the intruders in front of them, but as the sound arrived, they howled, as if in fear, and fell into a state of chaos.

At first glance, Chu Zihang thought he had encountered huge bats, but no, these bats were too big. Not only were they big, but their bodies were mainly composed of skeletons and membranes. Not much flesh and blood could be seen. Their shapes resembled cats or animals. Say - dragon!

It is impossible for these creatures to fly, but in fact they do fly, but the things that support them in flying are not wings - they don't even have wings, just a pair of sickle-shaped bones that replace arms!

What really supported them in flying was a careful storm entangled around them, and when thousands of these creatures moved together, it was as if they were suddenly caught in a typhoon!

Chu Zihang suddenly thought of the legendary creature: "The Weasel! It's the Weasel!"

But why does this legendary creature from Japanese mythology appear here? After all, is this really Kamaitachi? Moreover, this situation made Chu Zihang's memory begin to revive. He thought of something, but Xia Mi interrupted his thinking.

"We have to fight our way out! We can't go back to the narrow space that lacks oxygen! Senior brother! Cooperate with me! Let's use the combined technique!"

Combined skills? Is there such a thing?

Before Chu Zihang could react, Xia Mi's pupils bloomed with incomparable sparkle, not even inferior to Chu Zihang's golden color. The storm was gathering, roaring and roaring with her as the center, but the center was exceptionally peaceful. Chu Zihang Hang could even see the sweat falling down Xia Mi's cheeks, like the eye of a typhoon, like the pupil of a storm——

oxygen.

He reacted immediately.

Yan Ling! Junyan!

Yan Ling! Eye of the Storm!

Xia Mi actually has such a level of power. Countless oxygen was collected by her. With Jun Yan's intervention, the two sides collided and merged, and then turned into a fire storm like a natural disaster!

Thousands of sickle weasels were involved, destroyed and melted by the explosion and high temperature. For a moment, the sky was lit up by flames, and the burning and falling debris revealed an almost metallic material, as if there was a rain of molten gold——

The scene is beautiful, but there is no time to pay attention to it.

Chu Zihang was a little dizzy, probably due to lack of oxygen, but Xia Mi didn't seem to be in a state of hypoxia. Instead, he immediately ran with his legs, shouting as he ran:

"Senior Brother Chu! Please remember carefully! The reason why we came to this inexplicable place should be because of the magic of the witch Circe. Circe's island is to give people what they want, thereby trapping them forever. A place! So these things and even this scene may have been called by you!"

"Brother! Think about it quickly! Try to remember! What exactly are you longing to call for? And, among the things you called for, is there anything that can take us out of danger?"

Run, dodge, constantly release fire storms, and then search for this in the Nibelungs that are full of possibilities for cursed treasures, looking for things summoned by the wishing spell that may be able to escape -

——Observation divergence point appears——

[Xia Mi and Chu Zihang, who were trapped in the ‘Nibelung’, responded to the ‘wishing spell’ and what appeared in front of them was——]

【1.Chu Tianjiao】

[2/7, Chu Tianjiao transformed into Deadpool]

【3. Odin? 】

【4/6/9, King of the Wild Hunt】

[5. It’s Maybach (really just Maybach)]

【8. Maybach (Hephaestus)! 】

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D100=5】

[Ah, I entered the command incorrectly, the area was entered as 1~100]

【Heavy dice】

【1D10=8】

【It’s Maybach! Maybach is perfect! Come and invite you to take him for one last lap! (confusion)】

——to be continued!

By the way, the recently popular zoo rules are so fun.

It reminded me of the urge to write short stories about unit dramas and ghost stories.
