Tomorrow's Ark Full of Heroic Spirits

But at this moment, an immature voice suddenly sounded from behind Chen.

"Are you mother?"

"!" Chen Wenyan was taken aback. With her strength, she didn't notice anyone behind her. She turned around in fright, and subconsciously placed her palm on Chi Xiao's waist.

However, when Chen turned his head, he saw only a cute little girl with white hair in revealing clothes, looking at her with big eyes blinking, looking harmless to humans and animals.

child?Chen looked at the girl in front of him and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but then he smiled and said:

"Which family are you from? Are you separated from your mother?"

"Well, my mother asked me to leave the house, but I can't find anyone." The white-haired little girl nodded and asked with a cute look:

"Are you our mother?"

"Me? I'm not." However, Chen Wenyan smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "If you're looking for your mother, I can take you there."

"It's not mom..."

However, Chen's answer made the little girl's pupils turn cold all of a sudden, and suddenly, Chen felt a piercing chill hit his spine!

"Then dismember it."

While speaking, the girl in front of Chen suddenly pulled out two daggers, and stabbed at Chen!

"Crack!"

In a trance, I only saw Chen's unsheathed Chi Xiao and the girl's dagger slammed into each other for a while, and Chen's face was still flashing with an expression of fear and panic. The slender arms of the girl who owns Boli.

So small, why is it so powerful? !

"You—who are you?! Why did you kill me?"

"Huh? Aren't you the Master?"

However, the white-haired girl... No, Little Jack looked at Chen in front of him, but seemed a little distressed, and said slowly:

"It's so late, and you still come out for a walk, it's not the Master."

"I have no choice but to kill you so that you can see what Little Jack looks like."

As soon as the words fell, he saw the figure of Little Jack, but it seemed to disappear into the fog. Chen also didn't dare to be careless at all, and immediately raised Chi Xiao, looking around vigilantly.

However, in the thick fog, Chen couldn't feel the breath from Little Jack at all, as if there was no existence in all directions, but Chen knew that the murderous intent was surrounding him.

[Murder in Fog and Night: A]: Little Jack can perform almost perfect stealth and concealment abilities in dense fog and night, although he will be noticed at the moment of assassination, but before that, unless there is a way to crack the dense Fog and night, otherwise no one would have found little Jack.

All those who are targeted by Little Jack in this environment will be attacked without any precautions, and they will not be able to perceive her existence at all!

But at this moment, Little Jack's voice sounded again.

"Since I have been seen, there is nothing I can do. I can only dismember you."

"It's about to go."

In the darkness, there were suddenly two sounds of breaking through the air!Chen's pupils froze immediately, Chi Xiao turned around suddenly, and immediately knocked away two daggers that were attacking her back!

But at this moment, a bone-piercing cold climbed up Chen's spine again!A cold dagger had reached her throat at some point.

Behind her, out of the corner of Chen's eyes, he saw the slender arm of the bandaged girl.

"It's a pity~ here~"

At this moment, Little Jack's voice came like a god of death, and Chen's consciousness was in a trance for a while, only feeling that his death was really approaching.

"Whoosh-!"

And at such a moment, there was another sound of piercing through the air, almost passing by Chen's head. After hearing this sound, an arrow pierced into the ground, and the dagger between Chen's neck, But it also disappeared.

"Get out of here quickly, and I'll explain the matter later." At this moment, a voice rang in Chen's ear, and Chen recovered almost instantly and recognized the voice.

"Weimiya? Is it Emiya?! Why did you—"

However, after the subconscious words, Chen suddenly remembered that he was still in danger, and when he thought of losing to Little Jack, he immediately left the scene without saying a word.

"...It's gone."

In the dense fog, Little Jack's voice sounded slowly, and he said with a bit of disappointment: "Oh, I messed up, mom won't be angry..."

"And the one who shot the arrow just now was Archer? It's really in the way..."

Chapter 35: Little Jack's master transfer

Chen, who had just narrowly escaped death, ran away almost aimlessly. This was the first time in so many years that she was so flustered.Ever since she became the senior superintendent of Longmen, she has always been chasing the prisoner, and this is the first time she has been killed by a prisoner until she loses her helmet and armor, wishing she could even lose Chi Xiao.

This time, Chen felt a threat called "death" in a real sense.The enemy will not hold her back in the slightest, and will not have any chance to get to know her. If you pass by, she will take your life.

After panicking, Chen finally couldn't run anymore and stopped to take a breath. At this moment, a red figure slowly descended from a high place and came in front of Chen.

"—It's really a narrow escape. Do you usually stay out alone in the middle of the night like this? Although I understand that you are the authority and strength of the senior superintendent of Longmen, isn't this also very dangerous?"

"Weigong!"

However, at the moment when he heard this voice, Chen suddenly raised his head, facing the face of Emiya, who was looking at her with rather helpless eyes, wearing a red coat and black tights.

But at this moment, Wei Gong looked at Chen with a somewhat subtle expression, that kind of expression... If Wei Gong could see it, it could be said that it was a look that Wei Gong was very familiar with.

For example, a similar expression when facing a woman who is 【not honest at all (tsundere)】.

"I've only been away for a few days, and you're already so disregarding of your own personal safety, and your trouble-prone physique...is exactly the same as anyone I know alone..."

"Who do you think it's because of! You bastard!"

However, the moment Chen Zai saw Wei Gong again, under Wei Gong's nagging, his emotions quickly changed from surprise to annoyance. shouted:

"You bastard! You left without saying a word! Now you come back without saying a word! You think Longmen is your home! Come and leave whenever you want!"

"You still have to say hello when you run away from home! You irresponsible bastard! You know me... how worried we are because of you leaving suddenly?!"

"...No, irresponsibility has nothing to do with me." However, Wei Gong saw Chen's reaction so violently, and replied with a rare distressed expression:

"However, if it makes you worry, I can apologize, but the current occasion is not very suitable."

"Chen, you have encountered Jack the Ripper just now, she is not an existence that will give up immediately, and now you have come into contact with the 'mysterious' side, but it is difficult to step out of this area again. "

"At this point, it seems that I have to let you participate in it, Chen."

"participate?"

However, Wei Gong's words made Chen feel a little dazed, but she quickly realized it and asked Wei Gong:

"A long time ago, I felt that you had something to hide from me, and just after you left Longmen, there was such a strange smog in Longmen."

"And the little girl I met just now, do you know her? Do you call her 'Jack the Ripper'? Is there any connection between you and you, and this strange smog?!"

In the end, even Chen couldn't help but breathe a little harder. She had been curious about Wei Gong's identity for a long time, and a woman's sixth sense kept reminding her that Wei Gong's identity was a huge challenge. However, she has been unable to make progress in this regard, but now, this accident gave her a chance to contact Emiya.

Thinking of this, even Chen couldn't help swallowing, she felt a mysterious sense of excitement and crisis welling up in her heart.

"Well...Although I didn't want to involve you, but now, it seems that I can't help it."

Emiya nodded helplessly. He really didn't want Chen to be involved in the Holy Grail War, but as he said, once he stepped into some fields, it was difficult to get out. The stage of this Holy Grail War is only as big as the Dragon Gate. It is impossible for Chen to leave Longmen, so it is inevitable to contact these followers.

Instead of asking Emiya to protect Chen's safety, it is better for Emiya and Chen to cooperate well. In this way, not only can Emiya's goal of winning the Holy Grail War be achieved, but also Chen can always have a relatively safe environment... until the end of the Holy Grail War.

"However, before I talk about this, I want to explain to you about the 'Holy Grail War'."

"Also, and my [Guardian] identity."

……

On the other side, under a burst of thick fog, Little Jack came to the roof of a tall building in Longmen, and right here, she soon found two familiar figures, a man and a woman.

"mom!"

"Is Little Jack back? How fast."

The two were Wenyue and Wei Yanwu, and Wenyue hugged Little Jack very skillfully, with a doting smile on his face and asked: "Little Jack, how are you doing?" Have you found any other followers?"

"Well, I found it." Little Jack immediately nodded and said, "We found Archer. We were about to succeed, but that Archer suddenly intervened, causing us to miss it."

"I let that person run away in the end, I'm sorry mom..."

"It's okay, it's not Little Jack's fault." Seeing Little Jack's sad expression, Wen Yue calmed down skillfully:

"Since he has been involved, there is nothing he can do. However, Little Jack can no longer attack passers-by casually. The Holy Grail War is about to start. We need to save some magic power...isn't that right?"

"Well, let's listen to our mother." Little Jack nodded and quickly agreed.

On the other hand, Wei Yanwu's expression was always serious. Seeing Wen Yue and Little Jack get along so harmoniously, he never forgot to be vigilant to Little Jack's heart from the beginning to the end.

Ever since he learned of Little Jack's real identity from Wei Gong that day, he never forgot to be vigilant against this little girl, and now the heavy fog at Longmen made Wei Yanwu feel even more threatened.

This is an extremely dangerous signal. Although Little Jack obeys Wen Yue's orders, in Wei Yanwu's heart, this kind of murderer without moral concepts has no concept of good and evil at all, and is extremely unstable.

But the Holy Grail War still has to go on...

"...Wen Yue, I have an idea, next, how about letting me temporarily serve as Little Jack's Master?"

But at this moment, Wei Yanwu suddenly said to Wenyue: "Wenyue, you don't have much power yourself, it's too dangerous to fight against those masters, why don't you let me be the smoke bomb, and I'll direct Little Jack, so , not only can confuse those masters, but also protect you."

"Is that so?" Wen Yue was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, but felt that there was nothing wrong with Wei Yanwu's words.

It is an indisputable fact that Wen Yue has no strength to protect herself.Except for Baixue and the black minion hidden in the dark, Wenyue has limited means to protect herself.

But Wei Yanwu is different. Before Wei Yanwu became the ruler of Longmen, he was a top-notch existence. If he came to shift the target, Wen Yue would naturally be much safer.

Wen Yue is a good wife and mother, so she naturally knows Wei Yanwu's worries, and she will try her best not to put Wei Yanwu under more pressure.

"...If that's the case, then so be it."

In the end, her trust in Wei Yanwu overwhelmed her doubts, Wen Yue then turned to look at Little Jack and said:

"Little Jack, during this time, listen to Uncle Wei Yanwu first. This is an order from your mother, but don't worry, mother didn't abandon you, it's just that mother has to protect herself."

"Protect mom..." Little Jack nodded upon hearing this, and then said:

"We understand, we will listen to uncle, as long as mother is safe."

"Good boy."

Seeing that little Jack is so sensible, Wen Yue couldn't help but smile, she just felt that she had such a worry-free child, and she was really at ease.

Chapter 36: The Beginning of the Battle, Gathering of Servants

And at this moment, in Wei Gong's store, which was still closed, a small light lit up the darkness in the house. Wei Gong served Chen a fried rice and told Chen about the "Holy Grail War". related business.

And this time, Emiya also told Chen the "truth" of this Holy Grail War.

"Maybe it's the polluted Holy Grail?! What do you mean? Could it be that the Holy Grail is no longer usable?"

However, Chen, who hadn't eaten the rice cooked by Wei Gong for a week, while eating big mouthfuls, while listening to Wei Gong's words, showed a very nervous expression, and quickly swallowed the fried rice in his mouth Then he stood up and asked:

"Didn't it say that the Holy Grail is a universal wishing machine? If it is polluted, what will be the consequences?"

"I'm not sure, but I don't rule out this possibility. As for the consequences... Specifically, it is to realize your wish in an extremely twisted way."

Emiya also couldn't help recalling the tragedy caused by the Black Holy Grail in Fuyuki City, and couldn't help shaking his head and said: "The Holy Grail is a universal wish-making machine, there is nothing wrong with that, but people like me who don't believe in the Holy Grail can also They have all witnessed the true face of the Holy Grail."

"There is no holy grail for wish fulfillment at all, and wish fulfillment is nothing more than wishful thinking. At least as far as I know, the Holy Grail has only once fulfilled a wish in a serious way—and that is to give money."

"And there is a price for the giving of money... I don't want to talk about specific things. I just say this to tell you that the Holy Grail War is inevitable, but the Holy Grail is a false lie. It serves no purpose other than to bring about destruction."

Wei Gong's words frightened Chen for a moment, but Chen realized something, and asked Wei Gong:

"Tell me, what [Guardian] are you... Could it be that you have witnessed many Holy Grail Wars? That's why you have such a conclusion?"

"...It's not so much a witness, it's better to say that this body has participated in several Holy Grail Wars."

Emiya said helplessly, when he thought of his karma with the Holy Grail War and why he became like this, Emiya just didn't want to have anything to do with the Holy Grail anymore.

If it wasn't for the system's insistence on letting him win the Holy Grail War, he simply wanted to keep a respectful distance from the Holy Grail, and things related to this thing would definitely not be a good thing.

Although in FGO the holy grail has almost become a mass-produced funny object, picked up by all kinds of strange people (except Amakusa) and used indiscriminately, Emiya never forgot from the beginning to the end, the holy grail is a very troublesome existence of this concept.

Anyway, he just wanted to win the Holy Grail War. As for the Holy Grail...whether it is polluted or not, it doesn't matter to Emiya.

To be on the safe side, it's better not to have too much expectation for the Holy Grail. It's okay to destroy it when necessary, at least it's better to make less trouble for Emiya.

"Having said so much, Chen, I still need your help." Emiya immediately said to Chen with an extremely serious attitude:

"This Holy Grail War is different from the past. I don't know whether the Holy Grail is polluted or not, but we must prepare for the worst. Even if the Holy Grail is not polluted, there will be no good things to wish for."

"The best way is to destroy it—but only the final victor can obtain the right to use the Holy Grail."

"As a [Guardian], I shouldn't have joined this Holy Grail War, but for everyone, Chen, I must join the competition of the Holy Grail War and become the final victor."

"You, would you like to help me?"
