Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

30. Don’t peek at beautiful girls eating.

"Legacy aside, it would be a serious mistake to confuse the unusual with the mysterious during the investigation."

——Sherlock Holmes

Lu Mingfei had a strange feeling, as if he was reading a novel. The plot of the novel seemed to be a detective story, but the writer's skills were obviously not very good.

Successive events keep happening, but the events themselves are extremely inexplicable, and there is no clear connection between them. Each event itself makes people feel confused. This feeling is a bit like Lu Ming's. It was not the first time I watched "The Wine of Eternal Life". It was about more than 20 different characters in different eras, and the events they each experienced were narrated based on random multi-perspectives. A work narrated from multiple perspectives.

Although it is indeed an interesting masterpiece for those who can calm down and watch it and analyze it slowly according to the rhythm of the story, for most modern people who have rich entertainment methods, the poorness of that work can be described as a disaster Sexually.

Lu Mingfei felt like he was watching "Wine of Eternal Life" for the first time - oh no, it wasn't his first time watching "Wine of Eternal Life", but that he was involved in that time-space chaos with so many perspectives. In the story, I became one of the characters, a small character who was ignorant of his own situation and could only go with the flow.

However, Lu Mingfei remembered that the author of "The Wine of Eternal Life" - Narita Ryogo was also the author of "The Headless Horseman" and "Fate/strange.faker".

One characteristic of the story written by this author is that the story itself is a very simple story, but the author deliberately uses various misleading description methods to make readers who read the story from a God's perspective feel particularly confused.

Countless events seem to be countless independent lines, but they will eventually be connected together.

This seems a bit similar to a detective novel?

Anyway, Lu Mingfei felt that he was not such a smart person. If he didn't use the third stage of gene lock to imitate Sakura Girl - he could only look forward to the famous detective, right?

After roughly suppressing the mutated monsters pouring out of the bank cave, Lu Mingfei looked at Holmes.

Looking forward to his famous reasoning.

"This may disappoint you, but even I can't deduce the truth of the matter at this time, Mr. Lu, there is a saying in our detective terminology called 'Howdunit' - which means 'how' What we can do is to deduce the truth of the matter and find the murderer from the perspective of "criminal methods", but this method is useless in events designed with magic. In the end, as long as there is magic, all kinds of outrageous things can happen. Everything may happen, for example, the murderer is the prisoner himself, and his body will stand up as a corpse after death, or the murderer kills the victim in the future from the past time. In this case, the so-called Your alibi is meaningless, right?"

It seems that because it involves his own professional knowledge, Holmes started his speech with a long speech mixed with various professional terms.

In short, it just expresses that there is nothing I can do now.

However, Holmes also provided a new idea:

"Mysteries should be dealt with by mystical experts. You people in Chaldea have also been involved in this 'stage', haven't you? Mr. Lu, if you think about it carefully, there should be this kind of mysticism in Chaldea. Expert, right?”

A beautiful figure immediately appeared in Lu Mingfei's mind: "Da Vinci! She is also trapped on the stage! She is in the school!"

"A genius from the Renaissance? That's an incredible talent! Mr. Lu, I hope you will consult her for her opinions and ideas. Maybe we can get more clues from her."

Lu Mingfei nodded subconsciously, but then he thought something was wrong: "Formos, won't you come with us? Let's go to school together?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I am also a person trapped on the stage. I have my own place. To be more precise, my range of actions is limited to a certain range centered on 221B Baker Street. , I cannot go to the academy. In fact, your academy is shrouded in a huge barrier, and only children can enter and exit freely."

".Is this setting included in the original work of "Harry Potter"?"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, he couldn't remember clearly.

"I think this is the stage's preference for 'children'. As you mentioned when you shared information with me before, the owner of this stage treasure is nursery rhyme, and nursery rhyme has always been a hero dedicated to children. .”

It seems that we can no longer hope to sort out this messy situation for a while.

At Holmes's reminder, Lu Mingfei calculated the time and realized that the time the school had given them to buy supplies for school had almost run out.

As I was running around, I felt like I had done a lot of things, but it seemed like I had done nothing at all. It seemed like a lot of things had happened, but there seemed to be no progress at all in the plot.

Is it possible that the real purpose of this shady plot is to fool the players around and prevent the story from progressing at all?

Fortunately, although Lu Mingfei seemed to have no time to accomplish anything, Olga Marie was an honest person as always. She was the only one in the team who honestly performed the tasks of the teachers and did not go out to have fun. , but honestly bought various textbooks and teaching tools such as crucibles to be used in alchemy courses.

I even bought a copy for everyone in one go.

Just go back to school, find Leonardo da Vinci, get the most professional occult help from her, and then think about those complicated things.

".Um?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly discovered something.

What about the Lilim people?

"You asked Lilim?"

Knight Mordred, who was sweeping away the remaining monsters nearby to maintain urban security and prevent monsters from entering densely populated urban areas, answered Lu Mingfei's question:

"She Lilim said that having me here is enough, so she planned to sneak into the depths of the cave to take a look."

[Lu Mingfei thinks]

【1. If you are worried, go and have a look immediately】

【2. Trust Lilim and don’t check】

[3. After hesitating for a short while, Lilim has returned]

【1D3=1】

Because he was a little worried, Lu Mingfei followed the direction pointed by Mordred without even thinking.

After passing through the ruins of the bank that had completely collapsed, avoiding the rubble fragments that seriously obscured the view, and going deeper along the downward slope, Lu Mingfei saw a familiar figure.

It's Lilim and Kikyo.

There are several monsters around them - monsters that look like "books" and monsters that look like "snake monsters". They are covered in unpleasant miasma and are bound by chains transformed from Kikyo's shrine maiden spiritual power.

Then, he was 'eaten' by Lilim.

Lilim was obviously so hungry that she didn't even notice Lu Mingfei's presence immediately. Instead, she seized the moment and frantically used her predatory organs to eat one snake demon after another and countless 'magic books'.

The size of the monster eaten by her was obviously several times larger than her own body.

It wasn't until her hunger subsided a little that Lilim discovered Lu Mingfei's existence belatedly.

Lilim: "."

Lu Mingfei: "."

"Are you going back?" Lilim suddenly asked, "I've calculated, it should be almost time."

Lu Mingfei nodded subconsciously.

Lilim devoured the last snake demon around her, then burped a little cutely, and quickly put away her predatory organs.

"Then let's go back."

Then he walked past Lu Mingfei as if nothing had happened.

Kikyo immediately transformed into a spirit and disappeared, obviously not intending to get involved in this matter.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head and didn't say anything unnecessary. In fact, he didn't know what to say. He just felt that he seemed to have triggered something. To use a game as a metaphor, it was probably when playing the beautiful girl game that the trigger was triggered. Lilim’s strategy incident and so on.

But Lilim didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say. Besides, Lilim herself acted like "nothing happened just now." Wouldn't it be too unreasonable for her to interrupt again?

"Maybe the favorability level needs to be raised higher before the next event is triggered." Lu Mingfei muttered something incomprehensible.

But at this time, an unexpected question appeared in front of Lu Mingfei.

"I can't go to school," Eriki said.

Only then did Lu Mingfei remember that he and Olga Marie were now in their juvenile form, while Mashu and Eriki remained the same.

Perhaps it was because of this appearance that Eriyi was isolated?

What Eryi said is normal, because according to what Lu Mingfei heard from Rome, although Eryi looks younger than Lu Mingfei, she is actually a little older than Lu Mingfei. .

He looks young mainly because of his appearance and the fact that he has been imprisoned underground, staying at home and not familiar with the world.

Although Matthew's appearance has not changed, she is still fifteen years old, so she can continue to follow, right?

Eriki showed a somewhat lonely expression.

Lu Mingfei felt that he should stand up and comfort him at this time - but unexpectedly, someone squeezed into the middle.

"Since she (Nagao Kagetora) can't go with her, I will go to school with you to protect you, because I am the strongest."

The girl of Sanzoren No. 4, San Riyue, stood up.

There is no reason for rejection, of course.

Come if you want. Lu Mingfei didn't think too much, nodded, and then looked at Eriki. At some point, Holmes jumped from Mashu's head to Eriki's shoulder, seeming to be in Eriki's ear. He whispered something.

Then Eri Yi clenched her hands into fists, looked at Lu Mingfei, and put on a cheering gesture:

"Come on Sakura! You are investigating underground! I will also investigate above ground!"

"Well, then you should try your best." Lu Mingfei's original words were suppressed, so he could only dryly make a cheering gesture.

Lu Mingfei looked at Matthew again: "Speaking of which, Matthew, are Holmes and Mr. Watson your idols? Do you want to go underground with us to investigate, or stay above ground and work with Holmes? Are they investigating together?"

——There are differences in the judgment of whether Matthew will continue to be the heroine of Passerby——

【Ma Xiu’s choice is.】

[1/4/5, of course I followed Lu Mingfei and others to investigate the underground area]

[2. Stay on the ground and conduct an investigation in London under the leadership of Holmes]

[3. From the perspective of combat effectiveness, since Android No. 4 (Lancelot) is going to the underground group, Matthew should stay in the above-ground group]

[6/7/8, "I still want to look for my missing senior. The induction between the contracts tells me that she should be somewhere in London on the ground.\
