Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

The deletion did not stop even after Shirou Emiya rescued Shinji Matou.

Shinji Matou could now feel the dark substance continuing to crawl towards his body.

Compared to that crimson world, this speed was dozens of times slower, but that was all. As time passed, Shinji Matou knew that he would eventually meet the same fate as his Servant, being deleted by Mooncell.

In this matter, it is clear that Matou Sakura cannot provide any help. The fact that Matou Shinji was able to survive is itself a violation of the rules. As a high-level AI that maintains the Holy Grail War, Matou Sakura's decision not to harm Matou Shinji is already the biggest concession she can make.

Moreover, Sakura herself does not have the ability to stop this deletion process; her duty is simply to maintain the Master's health.

"We haven't found a way to resolve this for you yet."

Emiya Shirou could only shake his head. He did indeed possess the power to dispel the deletion program from continuing on his body, but it was clear that this power could not help Matou Shinji avoid it.

The day after saving Shinji Matou, the black substance that had been on Shirou Emiya's body had completely disappeared.

Sakura has clearly told Shirou Emiya that she cannot do it, so the only possible reason is her own fault.

And within one's own body, there is only one thing that might be able to do such a thing.

Only then did Shirou Emiya realize that the Noble Phantasm possessed the power to resist this deletion process.

When I entered that crimson world, I was less affected by the black substance because I was wearing the [Evil Spirit Possession] item.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Gina, who was lying on the hospital bed and had fallen into a deep sleep.

A radiance that she herself could not decipher surrounded Gina.

At this moment, Shirou Emiya seemed to understand something and looked towards the space to the side.

"A hero who gives alms?"

Only in this way could Gina, who did not want to participate in the fighting, survive in such a cruel Holy Grail War.

Chapter 567 Second in the World and First in the World

"What am I?"

Gina, having had a good night's sleep, slowly opened her eyes, and the unfamiliar ceiling came into view.

Just as she was pondering where she was, an untimely voice rang out from the hospital bed beside her.

"You woman, you've finally woken up. A Master who could faint in the hallway like you wasn't defeated in the first battle?!"

Shinji Matou didn't seem to treat the infirmary as an infirmary at all, and in a very self-willed manner, he mocked Gina, who was being helped over by Shirou Emiya, from his hospital bed.

Although he was also a patient at this time, and had suffered several hidden injuries from the previous battle, he was recuperating in them.

Although Shinji Matou's physical abilities are not weak, he was repeatedly thrown to the ground by the air currents generated during the conflict between Shirou Emiya and Drake.

At the time, due to overwhelming emotions, Shinji Matou felt nothing. It wasn't until the battle ended and he lay in his hospital bed that he felt intense pain all over his body.

In addition, his body was still being devoured by the dark substance, and he had already lost his servant.

Shinji Matou is now treating the infirmary like his own room.

Moreover, he himself seems to be a guy who can't stand being alone, and he shouts and yells almost every now and then.

Finally, a fellow patient woke up from the bed next to him, and Shinji Matou seized the opportunity to mock him.

"you are?"

Gina, rubbing her head which was a little dizzy from sleeping for quite some time, looked at Matou Shinji, who was standing to the side with a disdainful smile, with a puzzled expression on her face.

"My name is Shinji Matou, the Asian gaming champion and the second-ranked player in the world!!!!"

Upon hearing Gina's question, Shinji Matou confidently gave his name, showing no sign of dejection at being eliminated.

He seems to no longer care about being eliminated in the first round.

Of course, only Shinji Matou himself knows whether he cares or not.

"Oh? It's that guy with the record of 78 million."

Gina seemed to have thought of something, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she looked over with the same disdainful expression as Shinji Matou.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What's with that expression, woman? And how do you know my game strength? Are you one of those people who admire me?"

As if he had felt a chill, Shinji Matou looked at Ginako, whose expression had suddenly changed, and involuntarily stepped back from the hospital bed.

"Hmph! Hmph! Hmph! My online name is 'Jinazi'."

Although Gina is completely clueless about interpersonal relationships because she spends most of her time at home practicing spirit writing.

However, because she received memories that did not belong to her during the preliminary selection in this world, she was not so unable to communicate with others.

Although the memories given in this selection are false, a good magician is completely able to avoid the influence of these false memories on himself.

Characters like Leo and Rin Tohsaka were almost unaffected by the memories created by Mooncell.

However, Shinji Matou and Gina are clearly not excellent magicians like Rin Tohsaka and the others; they only came to this world because of their outstanding hacking skills.

Therefore, even if they regain their true memories, the false memories constructed by Mooncell still affect them.

Despite the fact that it was just a false memory, Shinji Matou, as a contestant, still regarded Hakuno Kishinami as his best friend.

Gina was the same; during the qualifiers, she was a candidate teacher and also referred to herself as a warehouse manager.

This is why, when she learned Shirou Emiya's name, she addressed him as "Emiya-kun".

Because she was used to speaking to Shirou Emiya in a teacher's tone.

So, compared to Shinji Matou's constant belittling of others to highlight himself, Gina's communication is clearly much more normal.

"What?!?!?!?!"

Shinji Matou, realizing what the name meant, blushed instantly and pointed at Gina with disbelief.

"You're the Western European gaming champion? The world's number one?! This is impossible, this doesn't make sense!!!!"

"Hum hum!"

Gina gave a sinister smile, stood up from the hospital bed, looked down at Shinji Matou, and spoke slowly like an old witch.

Talking about games will keep me wide awake!

"The world's second-best? There's an insurmountable gap between you and me!"

Gina never expected that her encounter with the world's number two would take place in such a medical room, nor did she expect that a mere number two in the world would dare to mock her like that, since everyone in the industry knows her illustrious name.

I'm the kind of person who can work out a 25th hour, or even longer, in a 24-hour day.

Shinji Matou, who is ranked second in the world, often makes a crazy attempt to become number one, but he is easily defeated by Gina every time.

"Damn it!! Damn it!!! Damn it!!! Damn it!!! I'll take the world's number one spot one day!!!"

Looking at the smug Gina, Shinji Matou wanted to mock her, but he couldn't bring himself to utter a single word.

In their strongest areas, the opposing team has completely overwhelmed them.

In this game, he didn't even win a single round and was already a loser.

Gina, on the other hand, was the victor in the first round.

Shinji Matou had no right to mock Ginako, and could only rage helplessly from his sickbed.

"ah!!!!!"

At that moment, Gina let out a terrified scream and quickly hid behind Sakura, who was carrying medicine and wearing a white coat, and walking towards them.

"You! You! You! What happened to your hands?! They look like they're about to mutate into zombies!"

"You're only just realizing this? I thought you'd noticed a long time ago!!"

Shinji Matou looked at Gina, who suddenly let out a strange cry and hid behind Sakura, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He had been pointing at Gina like that just now, and she hadn't reacted at all, so why was she suddenly surprised now?

Actually, Gina was really getting carried away just now. How dare she mock me when I'm only second in the world?

Although she saw Shinji Matou's strange hands, she didn't realize it immediately.

It wasn't until later that I suddenly realized what had happened.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Sakura also showed an extremely gentle smile, slowly comforting her and gently stroking Gina's forehead.

At that moment, Shirou Emiya was pushing open the gates of the arena.

The next day, the terminal sent a message that the first key had been generated, and Shirou Emiya immediately headed to the arena.

Chapter 568 The Incredible Plain

Although there is only one entrance to the arena for participants from the same school building, once inside the arena, they will be randomly teleported to a relatively safe location within the arena.

This is to prevent someone from setting a trap at the entrance, so that the contestants who step into the arena will be killed by the trapper without any chance to react.

Therefore, every time Shirou Emiya enters the arena, he will emerge from a relatively safe location within the maze.

To leave, one doesn't have to return to the original place, but rather find the orb of light in the maze that is responsible for sending the contestants out.

Upon touching the orb of light and deciding to leave the arena, the orb teleports the participant and their servant to the arena entrance.

Incidentally, the location and number of the light orbs that serve as exits are not fixed each day; they will randomly spawn in four different locations within the maze.

Therefore, when you enter the maze, you should be prepared that you may not be able to leave for several hours.

If one is well-prepared and can leave at any time, then this arena is hardly a trial for those Masters.

However, accompanied by the intense and scorching sunlight shining down from the horizon, Shirou Emiya slowly opened his eyes, shielding his eyes with his hands.

Everything that appeared before his eyes once again plunged Shirou Emiya into deep confusion.

Can this place really be called a plain?

In Shirou Emiya's memory, the plain should be the Holy Grail War that he participated in when he was in Fariagne.

The vast area in front of the castle of the Black side.

A plain is a field that stretches as far as the eye can see, where you can clearly see everything that is happening on the field.
