Bai Ming took the sunflower seeds and said, "I'll share half of the materials I collect from the singularity with you when I get back."

Da Vinci waved his hand and said, "Go out. Don't come in unless you have anything to do. I'll tell you when I'm done."

After Bai Ming left Da Vinci's magic workshop, Aku Hinako had already left, but Bai Ming didn't care. After frying the melon seeds, he went to see Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was resting in the room because he was not in a good mental state because of his first time using the magic circuit. Then he kicked open Aku Hinako's door and threw the melon seeds over. Finally, he went to see Mashu who was having a physical examination in the medical room. Mashu pointed at the food beside her through the glass.

Bai Ming nodded, took the food and ate it all in front of Mashu.

Mashu felt relieved. Bai Ming signaled to Mashu through the glass that he was going back to rest. Mashu nodded solemnly.

Bai Ming eventually returned to his room, chanting a spell. Olga Marie's soul transformed into a streak of light and floated out of Bai Ming's body. Seeing Bai Ming and the structure of the room, Olga Marie breathed a sigh of relief, then became arrogant and said, "Hey, when did you transform your room into a magic workshop?"

"I asked Da Vinci for a small prop before. Although it's called a magic workshop, many things are not ready yet. The only thing I can use is the alchemy furnace, incense, candles, furnace, yellow paper, and cinnabar that I brought with me when I came here. But they are used less and less, and I have collected a lot of evil bones, which are useless at the moment. Considering that there are a group of old people who have nothing to do but are plotting and watching from the side, I have to find a way to get some things - Olga Marie, are you listening?"

"Listening."

Olga Marie sighed and said, "What is the maximum distance between you and me?"

"I don't know. You're the first one I've detained. Before this, I didn't even bother using this kind of technique—I even learned it on the spot." Bai Ming turned over in bed. "If you want to test the range, go run around and see. When you feel weak, you've already exceeded your limit."

Olga Marie remained silent, thinking: Did this annoying guy learn this kind of magic just to save me?

"I won't try."

Olga Marie said, "I've heard of a situation where the soul dissipates. In your words, it should be something like the soul is scattered. I've finally survived, so I don't want to seek death on my own."

"Hehe...Coward Olga Marie."

"Who's timid?" Olga Marie glared at Bai Ming like a cat with its fur standing on end. "I only have the courage of a normal person. Not everyone is like you. You're even more crazy than some magicians."

Bai Ming ignored Olga Marie, and Olga Marie didn't care either. She just continued, "Anyway, in the days to come, I can only rely on you."

"Ah..." Bai Ming sighed, pinching his throat: "If Leif were here, I would feel at ease——"

Olga Marie heard the sarcasm in Bai Ming's words and said dissatisfiedly, "There's nothing we can do about it. When I first arrived, Leif was the only one who enthusiastically helped me and recognized everything I did! Over time, hasn't he become dependent on me?"

"Yes, yes, Director Olga is right." Bai Ming made another gesture. "The time for exercise is over. Come back and nourish your soul. The air in Chaldea doesn't have the same rich magic as the singularity. You should come back and nourish your soul first. You clearly wanted to thank me, but you looked awkward and rambled on. Why are all the charming women in Chaldea so tsundere? Not cute at all."

Olga Marie wanted to say something but immediately turned into a streak of light and disappeared into Bai Ming's body.

Bai Ming took a look at the system's charge, which was 60%, and thought to himself: By the time the charging is completed, it will probably be after entering the first singularity. However, given the current situation of the three masters, even if Aku Hinako and Fujimaru Ritsuka rush to a singularity together, they can solve all the singularities in three to four times.

Chapter 31: Rest and Reflection

It's break time now, but Bai Ming's brain has not stopped thinking.

According to common sense, the sixth singularity was originally the Round Table area.

However, under Bai Ming's arrangement, the Holy Sword of Altria was successfully returned to the fairies, and the Holy Spear was no longer used.

So will the sixth singularity be the war between the Crusaders and the Mountain People?

The previous meeting with Artoria was too hasty, and he didn't have time to ask many things, so Bai Ming could only deduce them on his own.

"I previously gave the scabbard to Morgan and told him that if he could survive to the present day, we would meet again in the future. If he couldn't, he would have to wait for me to summon him as a Servant.

But Lily answered the call, which meant the scabbard was thrown from Paradise by Morgan.

And in the Fifth Holy Grail War, which determined the establishment of Chaldea, Morgan was not present—"

"Morgan is probably in Earth's inner sea, right?"

Bai Ming made a guess, "After all, Morgan is a somewhat mysterious woman. I've been married to her since she was a young girl, and she's also connected to Lancelot's adoptive mother..."

In other words, Morgan has at least two identities: a fairy (the lady of the lake) and a son of man. Morgan, who should have been the regent of Britain, did not become the lord of the island according to the normal trajectory due to her own reasons. The two lords of the island who replaced her were Vortigern and herself. However, Morgan still has similarities with Vortigern in terms of magic.

So, why wasn't he, the island's master, affected by the British Isles? Or was he already affected, but another body bore the consequences?

You can't say that the sixth singularity is a Type-Moon-specific thing where it kills itself, right?

"What nonsense are you thinking about? If you want to know about the situation in the sixth singularity, I can show you right now. Killing yourself is a completely useless and awful thing to do. And didn't I tell you that if you want to appear as a Heroic Spirit or a Servant, you have to agree to it yourself, and then you can go and fight it yourself."

The system's voice suddenly appeared in Bai Ming's mind. Bai Ming smacked his lips: "Tsk... I've forgotten about such unimportant things a long time ago."

This is a very important matter.

"It's not as important as taking it back from humans."

Bai Ming closed his eyes peacefully: "Nothing is more interesting than human beings, and nothing is more interesting than human civilization."

Regarding the island lord, there were two island lords. One chose humanity, and the other chose mystery. The one who chose mystery, Vortigern, ultimately died at your hands. In order to prevent Altria from feeling entangled in this mess, you personally sent the last red dragon away. Do you still have any questions?

"No problem. Tell me in advance what the direction of the next simulation will be."

How would I know that? Doesn't simulation really depend on what you want to do? I'm just providing a platform.

"That's fine. After I rest up, I'll begin the full-scale battle to reclaim humanity. Since you have your own ideas, when I get close to Chaldeas, can you please knock him down for me, thus completely thwarting that damn white-haired Marisbilly's plan?"

The system immediately answers: [I don’t know.]

Bai Ming didn't expect too much, so he just went to sleep and waited for notification from the control room.

While Bai Ming was sleeping, the people of Chaldea were holding a meeting in the control room. Because Bai Ming knew a lot of things, Roman did not ask Bai Ming to attend the meeting.

As acting director, Roman spoke with deep emotion, "There has been no news from the staff sent out. I'm afraid they have perished along with the humans out there."

Mashu asked, "...Is it okay for you, Senior, not to attend the meeting?"

"That's not a problem. Bai Ming himself wouldn't come to the meeting anyway, right?" Da Vinci said. "According to Roman's speculation and our latest observations, only time within Chaldea is deviating from the normal timeline. In other words, we're stuck on the brink of history, just before the Collapse. If we leave Chaldea and come into contact with the outside world, we'll die instantly. This situation will continue until we break free of our current predicament."

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was standing by, listened quietly to what Da Vinci and Roman were saying, and asked, "Since Dr. Roman and Da Vinci himself said so, there must be a solution, right?"

"Yes, there is indeed a way. Fortunately, we now have three masters. Even though you, Ritsuka, are a newbie to magic, we can split up and solve the current dilemma within three or four moves."

Dr. Roman pointed at the restored Sheba. "I scanned the Earth and saw what it looked like in the past. We eliminated Singularity F, but the future hasn't changed. Leonardo da Vinci and I personally analyzed it and discovered that several cornerstones that could have laid the foundation for human history have been disrupted. If we can repair the damaged singularities, we can resolve the current situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the control room opened.

Bai Ming walked over and said casually, "You didn't invite me to the meeting, Roman, you're not a good brother. Mashu, Ritsuka, how are you two adapting?"

Roman said helplessly: "Don't you want to rest? I passed by your room and saw you resting."

"I can't sleep." Bai Ming squeezed Roman's seat and said, "I will preside over the next meeting. Roman talks too much nonsense. Regarding the future of Chaldea and the war to recapture humanity, I only have three requests.

First, Chaldea's logistical support must be in place. Second, the Master will be divided into two teams: I will be on my own, and Ritsuka and Old Ake will be on the other. Before exploring the singularity, we must gather the necessary intelligence and avoid improvisations that could be gathered in Chaldea. Third, the remaining staff will ensure the Master's presence and well-being. Strictly speaking, if we divide the team into two, we'll need four expeditions in total, as we also need to deal with the body of the Jewish man with some mental issues."

Aku Hinako and Fujimaru Ritsuka said, "Understood."

Da Vinci spread his hands towards Roman and replied, "Leave the logistics to Da Vinci. Don't underestimate the power of the Almighty."

"Well, adjourn the meeting. Tomorrow we'll begin the investigation of the first two singularities. Considering the situation with Flauros, we might encounter the problem of the Demon Pillar within the singularity. Da Vinci must expedite the transformation of the Greater Holy Grail, and Mash's shield must also undergo related modifications.

The health of the other Chaldea employees is in Roman's care."

Roman said he had no objection.

"Oh, Bai Mingqin is really good at giving orders. So, what are you going to do?" Da Vinci asked Bai Ming as he was about to leave the control room. Bai Ming replied without even turning his head:

"Of course I'm going to rest. Aku Hinako, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Mashu have all had a good rest, but I haven't yet. Oh, by the way, if Da Vinci-kun has time, please prepare a temporary body for Olga Marie that can accommodate her soul."

After Bai Ming left, Jie Hinako finally spoke: "In China, there is a saying called raising ghosts. Raising ghosts will have a certain impact on the mental state of the person who raises them. It's normal for him to rest."

Chapter 32 How should I repay you?

"I said……"

After Bai Ming returned to the room, Olga Marie rushed out on her own, because Bai Ming didn't have much control over Olga Marie. "I heard everything that Mustard Hinako said just now. Did the unequal contract you signed with me have a big impact on you? Then why did you sign it with me? Are you stupid?"

Bai Mingxin said Xiandao Guisheng, then lay on the bed and dealt with Olga Marie: "This is my own decision, it has nothing to do with you."

"So, you admit that it has indeed had a negative impact on you, right?" Olga Marie's expression was very serious. "Now, as the director, I order you to tell me the extent of the impact on you."

Bai Ming closed his eyes and remained motionless. "Chinese ghost-raising techniques are different from those low-class ones in Southeast Asia. Although it will have some impact—you won't understand even if I tell you, so just stay by my side and survive."

"How can I…"

Seeing that Bai Ming's breathing gradually stabilized, Olga Marie calmed down and provided Bai Ming with a good rest environment.

Xindao: The body interacts with the material world, the soul is attached to the body and is the medium for spiritual communication, and the spirit represents the consciousness of the self. As a magician from China, Aku Hinako will definitely not talk nonsense about raising ghosts.

In other words, Bai Ming was sacrificing his own self-awareness in exchange for her survival time...

Although she usually cried out that no one helped her and no one recognized her, and she longed for dependence, recognition and help from the bottom of her heart, when this kind of life-or-death help really came, Olga Marie was at a loss - before Aku Hinako said that, she only thought that she had signed an unequal familiar contract, but she never thought that it was actually Bai Ming's side that was unequal, not to mention that Bai Ming usually showed that he didn't care about her at all.

She couldn't understand it at all! Wasn't it already dishonest enough for someone like her to say one thing and mean another, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart?

Why are there people who help themselves from the beginning but end up killing themselves? Why are there people who don't care about themselves at all from the beginning but end up saving themselves?

I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all.

I've never met such a strange guy before!

"How should I repay you?"

Bai Ming heard Olga Marie's weak mumbling, but Bai Ming pretended not to hear it and continued to close his eyes and rest.

For Bai Ming, whether to save or not is just a matter of thought. Similarly, he doesn't care whether Olga Marie repays him or not.

Bai Ming chose his own path, so naturally he has to take his own responsibility.

◇A new day

Bai Ming woke up to Mashu's gentle call of "Senior", but the first thing he saw was not Mashu's round legs wrapped in black stockings, but a white four-legged beast.

Bai Ming showed an expression of disgust on his face without hesitation. He was an old acquaintance of this four-legged beast - after all, this thing was half of Merlin's familiar.

The four-legged little beast had an expression that said, "I'm not mistaken, you are indeed Jocelyn. When will you take me to elbow Merlin?"

The man ignored Fu Fu, and Fu Fu didn't care either, and ran away.

Bai Ming looked at Mashu, whose cheeks were slightly red. Mashu asked, "Good morning, Senior. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Good morning, Mash."

A gentle tone that didn't seem like Bai Ming's came out of Bai Ming's mouth, "I slept pretty well last night."

Mashu exclaimed in surprise at the tone, and then explained, "I heard from Miss Aku Hinako that Senpai is grumpy when he wakes up. I didn't expect Senpai to be so gentle when he first woke up. He's completely different from his usual fierce self."

"Akabe Hinako?"

Bai Ming muttered, and then his tone quickly returned to normal: "People always let down their guard, so it's not impossible to reveal their true self under the mask."

"So, Senior must be a gentle person."

Bai Ming felt that Mashu was particularly happy today, and even the usual reservedness she showed when seeing him had disappeared.
