Start with Type-Moon, but Magical Index Magician

Mashu looked helpless. She obviously wanted to ask the other party the same question, and even wanted to determine whether the other party was a Servant or a human.

However, Roman, who could usually give an answer quickly, was unable to do so this time. He only used the communicator to secretly tell a few people the current situation.

"You can't detect it either? It's the same here! There's too much magic energy around, so I can't tell the reaction at all! But she's wearing armor, so she must not be an ordinary Londoner.

"Oh, what a headache! I thought it would be easier if we could just confine ourselves to the city. Now things are really complicated! We have no idea who she is. Is she just an ordinary person who happens to be resistant to magic, or a magician, or a Servant..."

Roman was complaining crazily and seemed very distressed about the current troublesome situation, but at this time, Olga Marie's voice also interrupted.

"Do you want to have a straightforward discussion, or just take down the other party?"

Olga Marie's suggestion silenced everyone.

After a while, Roman asked, "What if it's friendly forces?"

"This place is a singularity. To restore it to its original state, the fastest way would be to resolve all the anomalies here, right? For example, if we could kill all the Servants, regardless of whether they were good or evil, and bring back the Holy Grail, the problem would naturally be solved.

"Anyway, Servants are the incarnations of Heroic Spirits. After being killed, they will return to the Throne of Heroes. As for the people here, they will naturally return to the original historical development after the historical restoration. So there is no need to worry about major mistakes in the execution process that cannot be reversed."

Olga Marie said, and the reason she gave was so good that no one could refute it.

At this time, because everyone was still secretly discussing with the headquarters, the mysterious armored woman who was waiting for their answers was also confused. She frowned and said, "What are you doing secretly? Since you are not attacking me, it doesn't matter."

As she spoke, she actually threw aside the matter of the secret communication that Morpheus's people were carrying out, as if she had no intention of pursuing it at all.

After she finished speaking, her expression darkened a little. "I don't have anything to do with you guys. Sorry to bother you. The fog is very thick around here. It's best to leave here as soon as possible."

"Thanks for the reminder." Morpheus smiled and thanked the other party, which made the other party smile. Just when Fujimaru Ritsuka and others thought that Morpheus was going to take a step back and find a place to stay, Morpheus suddenly spoke again: "Um... You are a Servant, right?"

The question was so blunt that even Mashu was stunned. The woman opposite was also stunned, but then nodded: "Yes, I am."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and turned away.

As he walked, he shouted, "Anyway, just be careful about your own safety!"

This behavior made Mashu's eyes widen again. She thought that Morpheus was very careless for suddenly asking the other party if he was a servant, but the other party's behavior was even more strange. First, he did not hide anything, and secondly, he just left like that, and walked away in a swagger.

Dr. Roman couldn't help but shake his head after seeing this scene. "She left already? She left too quickly. What an impatient child... Is she from London?"

"Didn't she say she was a Servant?"

"That could also be a Londoner turned Servant." Roman said helplessly, "And judging from what she just said, she seems to know something inside. She should understand the current situation in London better than us."

"Okay, let's catch up and ask her. I wanted to continue communicating with her and ask some questions, but she left." Morpheus shook his head and said to the few people.

Roman agreed with this suggestion: "Yes, let's catch up and ask."

But when I looked forward, there was no sign of the other person.

But no one cared about it. They just kept moving forward and they would eventually meet each other.

So, after walking forward for a distance, Morpheus frowned, he felt something approaching.

Black Jeanne d'Arc also looked around vigilantly, and obviously noticed that something was nearby.

"Something is coming, and there are quite a lot of them." said Black Jeanne d'Arc.

Morpheus nodded. "Yes, there are quite a few of them. With this magical fluctuation, it seems that they are just small fry."

Roman also shouted at this time: "I haven't observed any biological reaction, but there are reactions from multiple moving objects. I still can't sense any magical reaction. This fog is too interfering with the perception of magic!"

"There's a magical reaction. It's a magical construct, possibly a puppet." Morpheus said, staring at his surroundings.

After a while, a large number of puppet creatures did appear. These magic-driven creatures surrounded everyone in an instant and began to attack them!

However, these things are naturally of no use to Morpheus and others. Morpheus doesn't even need to take action. Mash and Black Jeanne d'Arc take action and instantly destroy all these puppet creatures.

After destroying all these things, Mashu breathed a sigh of relief: "The breakthrough was successful, we can continue to move."

Roman was also a little surprised. "I didn't expect that kind of thing to be hidden in the fog. No wonder everyone is hiding in the building. Since the doors and windows are intact, that means those things can't invade the building, right? But it's really strange and weird."

Mashu recalled the guys she had defeated and said, "I remember the structure of those wreckages. Some of them were used in the machinery of this era."

"I told you, it's a puppet. It's really a small fry that fits the characteristics of the times." Morpheus said, holding a piece of wreckage in his hand, carefully observing its internal structure.

Roman sighed. "What a shame! The fog is interfering, making it difficult for me to observe for you. Please be careful during your exploration to avoid being ambushed."

Mash nodded: "Okay."

Then, she looked at a few people and said, "Let's go!"

Everyone set out on the journey to find the armored girl again, but along the way, they experienced several battles, and their targets were all things like puppets.

After another battle with the mechanical structure, Morpheus suddenly noticed something.

"There are signs of corrosion here." Morpheus said, pointing to a part of the wreckage.

Everyone looked over there and found that the iron sheet was indeed showing signs of corrosion. Seeing this scene, several people couldn't help but be stunned. They all remembered very clearly that the people fighting here had not used any moves that would cause corrosion!

"During the Industrial Revolution in London, the large amount of smog emitted by steam engines became a social problem. The sulfur dioxide contained in the exhaust would be trapped and condensed into sulfuric acid mist when it encountered low-temperature mist..." Mash said this, her expression suddenly changing, "...Huh?!"

"What's wrong? Mashu!" Roman asked hurriedly.

"In 1888, there were some case records in London that described it as 'as if they had inhaled sulfuric acid,' right?" Morpheus said, and Mash nodded. "That's right."

A dark shadow appeared behind Mashu. It was a little petite, but it hid its aura so that Mashu didn't even notice it.

Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly shouted, "Be careful!"

At the same time, the black shadow took action!

But at the moment of the attack, Black Joan of Arc also attacked. Black Joan of Arc was already very powerful. Almost the moment she discovered the opponent's appearance, she swung her weapon and attacked. At that moment, the dagger and the flag collided with each other, forcing the sneak attacking figure back!

It was a white-haired girl, most of her body exposed, staring at the few people, her voice full of confusion.

"...What...are you? Humans? Or magi? Not only can you move freely in the magic power mist as if nothing happened, but you can also move freely in our mist. Are you Servants like us?"

Mashu also saw the person at this time, and she immediately realized the other person's identity.

"You're a Servant, right? Even though you're supposed to be a human from this era." She revealed the other person's identity, "Jack the Ripper!"

"Killed numerous women in London in the late 19th century, and mutilated all of his victims...

"A provocation to the London police. A legendary killer, a symbol of terror for the entire world, even bringing with him numerous copycats."

Morpheus smiled and took a step forward. The magic spells around him were already unfolding at this moment!

"You actually know me?! I'm so happy! I'm so happy!" Jack the Ripper, or rather, a servant named Jack the Ripper but a loli, actually laughed morbidly at this moment, "So happy, so happy, in this case, you should know what I'm going to do to you!"

What Jack the Ripper did was simple: to kill people and then dismember them!

But unfortunately, she can't be happy now.

Because Morpheus took action directly.

Morpheus appeared in front of Jack the Ripper in an instant. Even though the other party was a little loli, Morpheus had no intention of holding back. His hands were condensed with flames, the power of Michael, and the light of purifying filth. Before Jack the Ripper could react, he smashed the other party's face directly.

"Oh!"

Without any surprise, Jack the Ripper couldn't even resist at all and was knocked to the ground by Morpheus' punch. Dazzling flames appeared from her face and began to spread to other parts of her body.

Michael's power is naturally the power to destroy evil. Even Satan cannot deal with Michael, let alone a little Jack the Ripper.

At this moment, Jack the Ripper let out a shrill scream, and the sins she carried began to be settled under the burning flames. The heavier the sins, the greater the pain.

Jack the Ripper was in extreme pain at this time.

Even though she is now a servant, a god-like being, she is powerless to resist Michael's flames.

Poor Jack the Ripper didn't even get to say anything more before he turned to ashes under the light of the flame.

Mashu took a breath and felt that the loli was really miserable.

Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked and asked, "I didn't expect you to be so cruel to loli, Morpheus. I thought you were a lolita complex!"

"Lolita complex?!" Morpheus snorted. "If you saw a group of teenagers killing each other every day, you would get used to it like me."

As he spoke, he thought of his boss in the Magical Index world, that twelve-year-old loli who was extremely powerful and had a bad temper!

"Strange, my memory..." Mashu suddenly frowned, as if she couldn't remember what happened just now, "I just remember being a Servant, and then..."

"Snapped!"

With a snap of her fingers, a special magic spell began to spread around. Mashu shook her head, and her originally vague memory became clear again. She took a breath and said, "This fog feels very problematic. It will affect my memory!"

"It's not just the memory, even the recording device has problems. The records just now are gone..." Roman's voice also revealed seriousness.

"Okay, let's keep chasing forward and see if we can catch up with that armored woman. If we encounter other hostile servants on the way, we can deal with them easily. It's quite simple anyway." Morpheus said from the side.

"Be careful, I have a feeling this time the enemy might not be simple!"

He didn't care about this kind of magic that interfered with memory. It couldn't affect him anyway, and he agreed with Olga Marie's suggestion. Just kill the suspicious guy. After all, everything would be restored after history was restored. There was no need to think about so many things.

And there is no problem in searching along the way. It is like encountering Jack the Ripper. Just kill the opponent as soon as you meet him, and continuously weaken the strength of the hostile forces. It is also a blow to those guys behind the scenes and can also delay the opponent's plan.

It can be said that there is nothing to worry about in this plan except that you must have enough strength to avoid being counterattacked when executing it!

And this condition of "sufficient strength" can be provided by Morpheus alone!

What's more, whether it's Mashu, Fujimaru Ritsuka, or Black Jeanne, these people are all very strong. If the three of them join forces, Morpheus believes that even if Gilgamesh comes out with full strength, he will not be able to gain any benefit.

Chapter 169: Detective Fujimaru Ritsuka

As they continued walking forward, Mash asked Morpheus, "Did you also discover that she was Jack the Ripper?"

"Yeah, I found it. It would be funny if I still didn't find it. After all, the location, time period, and everything else are very consistent. But what I didn't expect was that the other party was actually a Servant, not a real human."

As Morpheus spoke, he complained in his heart.

Fortunately, he had also paid attention to some murders in the Type-Moon world, so he knew these details. In fact, when he was in the Magical Index world, although he also knew Jack the Ripper, he had never seen any record of Jack the Ripper using sulfuric acid to kill people. This record only existed in the Type-Moon world.

In the beginning, Morpheus thought that it was just some special deification of the murderer, which had deviated in the continuous storytelling. But now it seems that this may not be the case, because this Jack the Ripper is completely different from the Jack the Ripper he imagined.

"As expected of this place, even Jack the Ripper is a woman... and a lolita at that..."

"Hmm? What did you say, Senior Morpheus?" Mashu asked with some confusion.

"I was just complaining. Why did I think they were all male Servants, but they turned out to be all female?" Morpheus said, letting out a sigh. "This Jack the Ripper gave me a very special feeling. She shouldn't be an ordinary Servant. It's better to say that she is more like a collection of resentment."

Mashu was stunned: "A collection of resentment?"

Not only Mashu, but also Ritsuka Fujimaru and Jeanne d'Arc came over, wanting to hear what Morpheus had discovered.

"It's just a simple feeling now, but judging by the fact that Michael's power can cause great damage to her, she's definitely an evil being like a demon." Morpheus thought about his feelings when fighting the enemy and said, "She seems like a vengeful spirit, similar to a ghost, but also somewhat different. She gives me a complicated feeling..."

"What's complicated?" Roman asked.

"Yeah, what's so complicated? Is this servant a ghost like me?" Olga Marie also asked.

Morpheus shook his head. "Something's different. She gives me the feeling of a fusion of many ghosts. But then her existence wouldn't be so stable. She would definitely be suffering from schizophrenia, but she just has a single, stable mind."

Roman immediately used his invincible wisdom to come up with a more convenient description: "You mean to say that she is like a special individual composed of many ghosts, but with only one consciousness?"

"That's right. And didn't I say that? She gives me the feeling of a collection of resentment. If you think about it from that perspective, it doesn't seem to be a problem. Resentment is hatred, a curse, and human malice, but this malice itself has no self-awareness."

Morpheus said with a hint of a smile: "So the curse technique is actually the manipulation of malice."

"We'll talk about this later. First, what's the story about Jack the Ripper's collective grudge?"

"It's simple. Resentment without self-awareness gathered together and turned into extreme malice. And because of the reason for its birth, this extreme malice has developed its own special consciousness, such as the consciousness of a ghost.

"From this point of view, I can make an inference. The ability to produce such a single consciousness shows that when the resentment merged, the consciousness of the individual who produced the resentment was actually not strong, and even had not yet formed a true self.

"Furthermore, their experiences are similar, and the objects of their resentment are similar. Given this situation where almost everyone wants the same thing, this aggregation of resentment with a unique sense of self is born."

"Wait a minute, so, Jack the Ripper's characteristics can help us understand what kind of person he is? Or even what experiences made him the Jack the Ripper he is today?" asked Ritsuka Fujimaru, and then she saw Morpheus nodded at her.

After receiving the other party's affirmation, Fujimaru Ritsuka became even more excited. In this foggy city, she even felt that she was about to awaken the soul of a famous detective. She looked at Morpheus with some envy, and looked at the clothes on Morpheus.

Sure enough, the most suitable clothing for this place is what Morpheus is wearing!

However, she quickly shook off the envy and turned her attention to solving the case.

"Well, as far as I know, Jack the Ripper killed almost all women, including quite a few prostitutes, which shows his immense hatred for these women. I originally thought Jack the Ripper was a man, a fanatic who believed these women violated his teachings, but now I see it's a little girl...

"The most special thing about these conditions or information is that the child resents the adults, and resents the adults who are women. This also allows us to narrow down the scope of our considerations. In this way, we only have to consider one thing: mothers!

"And because the only target of resentment is the mother, we can rule out the existence of the father. This can only mean one thing: the tragedy and pain suffered by these aggregates of resentment must have occurred before they came into contact with their father. So there is only one possibility: they don't have a father, or they died the moment they were born and could not come into contact with their father!"

As Fujimaru Ritsuka said this, he pushed up the non-existent frame of his glasses and squinted his eyes.

"There's only one truth. Jack the Ripper was actually the result of the resentment of abandoned babies. They resented their mothers. Because of the nature of prostitution, abortions are even more common. The fact that most of the women killed were prostitutes also supports this!"

Morpheus clapped his hands. He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with admiration in his eyes and said with a smile, "If you traveled back to 18th or 19th century London, you could definitely survive as a private detective!"

This piece of reasoning is not particularly amazing, but it is also very good, better than many detectives Morpheus has seen. If there is enough information, Fujimaru Ritsuka may be able to dig out the secrets about Jack the Ripper at a faster speed.
