Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

He tried to guess the other party's intentions, but when he thought about how straightforward he was, he felt that the other party was really just trying to get him to rest.

And because of Shule's various actions, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little overwhelmed. Before the night was over, he had already forgotten how many times he had been shocked.

At this moment he was really exhausted physically and mentally.

The young man felt like crying but had no tears. He was indeed tired and wanted to rest, but not now.

"No, let's not use it..."

"Warning: The mental state of individual 'Fujimaru Ritsuka' has been detected to be declining..."

"The conclusion, if enforced, will reduce the effectiveness of the conversation."

Xiuer stared at the boy with his inorganic eyes, which shone with golden light, and spoke in a serious tone. After all, he was the one who took the initiative to find the other party, so it was reasonable for him to care about efficiency.

But his behavior made the boy even more embarrassed.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a slight swelling and pain in his temples.

"No, I can hold on. Besides, the next question is something I'm very concerned about, and I don't have time to 'rest'."

"..."

Looking at the boy's forced expression, Xiuer said nothing more, just nodded silently and "withdrawn" the chair.

Then, in front of the young man, he built a chair behind himself and sat on it upright.

"..."

"..."

Eyes facing each other.

"...?"

Xiuer tilted his head and blinked, as if wondering why the boy suddenly looked at him with that look.

……

…………

One minute later...

"call……"

In the pure white space, surrounded by a group of "Shurls", Fujimaru Ritsuka sat on the chair opposite Shurl with an ugly look on his face.

"Okay, let's continue."

The boy looked at his weak legs, feeling a little confused.

After just a few minutes of contact, he had already roughly understood Xiuer's character.

It's a bit strange, and the way it speaks and acts is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but fortunately it's not completely incomprehensible.

But let’s be honest.

He felt that it would be difficult for him to understand the other party's logic. Could it be that this was due to the different nature of non-human beings and humans?

But there is clearly the example of number one.

However, one thing that can be seen is that the other party is really not hostile and is not as bad as imagined.

"Why do you want to contact Chaldea, and how do you know Chaldea?"

For some reason, Fujimaru Ritsuka had a sense of déjà vu, as if he was interviewing the other party, but the question just now was also what he cared about most.

After losing contact with everyone in Chaldea, he had ample motivation to question the person who was targeting Chaldea.

"Answer: To meet more Servants, gain more power, and see more of the world..."

The first part is Xuer's current purpose, while the second part is his motivation to carry it through.

There is no need to hide these things at this stage, and doing so will help build "trust".

However, as for his intelligence acquisition ability, Shuel would never reveal it to others no matter what.

Of course, Shuel didn't care how much Fujimaru Ritsuka believed, after all, he had already implanted the positioning "coordinates" into the other person's body.

The current contact is just to avoid too much trouble when "showing up" at that time.

"..."

Ritsuka Fujimaru discovered that the other party avoided explaining the intelligence channels, but he did not care, or he did not have the ability to care.

After all, the reason he could talk face to face with the other party at this moment was all because of the other party's "mercy".

For example, those masters who were captured into that space.

Except for some people who are still in a coma for unknown reasons, none of them are in danger of life.

He also learned from Shizijie that the other party's fighting in the urban area did not harm any civilians, and the noise they made in the residential area was difficult not to be regarded as a "terrorist attack."

From this we can see that the other party is not an unforgivable person.

This is also the reason why Ritsuka Fujimaru dared to face Shuul directly.

However, even without this information, facing Xuer's "invitation", the former would probably still meet it fearlessly.

"Why did you capture those Masters and put them into these spaces?"

"Answer, for "protection" and "utilization""

To avoid harming innocent people?

Although Shul's answer was very brief, Fujimaru Ritsuka understood the meaning of his words. It seemed that he had begun to get used to the other's way of speaking.

Regardless of whether the Master is "innocent", at least Fujimaru Ritsuka can hear the meaning of "protection" from the other party.

That "utilization" seems to mean forcing those Masters to use Command Seals.

"Let the Master use the Command Spell to order the Servants to fight with all their strength."

This was the information the boy heard from Jeanne d'Arc.

From this it seems that the other party did not lie.

Seeing that the conversation was finally on track, Fujimaru Ritsuka was able to truly breathe a sigh of relief.

I hope this singularity can end smoothly...

The boy thought helplessly.

……

Chapter 71: Chaldea

After that, there was a question and answer session between Shuul and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

And those clones in this space all listened to this exchange without any prior agreement.

It's not that they are curious about the content of the conversation between the main body and Fujimaru Ritsuka, but because they don't want to run around, they choose to stay here and act as "listeners".

Time passed quickly because Shuul's way of speaking was concise and to the point, so when faced with Fujimaru Ritsuka's questions, he could always explain them in just a few words.

Therefore, the time spent on communication between them was actually less than ten minutes.

However, this was probably also achieved by the latter using his superior comprehension ability.

Shule's words are not profound, but some of them are difficult to understand because they are too concise.

"So you can leave here tomorrow?"

Through questioning, Fujimaru Ritsuka has already known that the other party is not the "person in this matter", and the other party is just like him, from "another world".

The only difference is the way they cross the world.

This is also why the changes caused by Shuul will lead to the creation of singularities. After all, he is an outsider to the world, and the probability of creating "errors" that are significant enough to deviate from the world line is higher than that of "locals".

Of course, regarding this matter, Xu Er simply answered that he used illegal summoning to summon himself, which created the singularity.

But he didn't mention that the Servant version of himself was actually secretly "uploaded" by him to the "Hall of Valor Data Terminal".

So when Fujimaru Ritsuka heard that the other party had also become a Heroic Spirit (he thought so), he showed an extremely surprised expression.

At this time, Xiuer began to sigh at the convenience of the characteristics of this world.

So much so that even an "outsider" like him actually had "information" on the Throne of Heroes, and no one would suspect him.

I'm afraid only those who are "knowledgeable" can see the tricks involved.

During this period, because Shuel answered all of Fujimaru Ritsuka's questions truthfully, the former actually gained a certain degree of trust from the latter.

Although it's not yet at the level of complete trust, some things can be clarified.

Just like...

"Um, may I ask, Miss Xiuer..."

Because during the conversation, Fujimaru Ritsuka found out Shuul's name, but he didn't know whether it was his real name. After all, the other dolls all had numbers, so how could the command unit have a real name?

But no matter what, at least it has a name.

Otherwise, it would be somewhat inappropriate to keep calling the other person a "doll".

As for the name Fujimaru Ritsuka, Shuul didn't care. After all, he could be said to have no gender now. He didn't care what others wanted to call him.

"I haven't been able to restore communication with Chaldea until now. Is this... because of you?"

This sentence still gives people an unfriendly feeling, but Fujimaru Ritsuka is not worried about offending the other party.

Because he has roughly mastered the way to communicate with the other party.

If you speak directly, you will get a direct response from the other person, and the other person will be able to directly discern the meaning of your words.

Apart from the initial discomfort, since he mastered the communication method, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that communicating with Shuul was extremely easy.

A straightforward conversation is always better than those roundabout ways of speaking.

"Affirmative, the communication is abnormal because of my interference."

Sure enough, in response to the boy's direct questioning, Xiuer immediately responded and directly admitted his behavior.

"Really? Can you help me remove it?"

"...Understood. The application has been approved and can be executed."

Shuul only paused for a moment before directly agreeing to Fujimaru Ritsuka's request. After all, according to the information obtained from the Whispering Chapter, Fujimaru Ritsuka was just a "field worker" in Chaldea. The one who was really in charge was actually the person behind him who was helping him in Chaldea.

"Clearing the interference from Individual Fujimaru Ritsuka..."

Xiuer's eyes flickered for a moment.

"Notice, interference lifted."

At the same time, a vague audio communication sound suddenly sounded from Fujimaru Ritsuka's body.

"Hey... Hey! Can you hear me, Fujimaru-kun?!"

The sound gradually became clearer, and under Fujimaru Ritsuka's excited expression, a young male voice suddenly appeared between the two of them.

"Great, Dr. Roman, I can hear you, communication is restored!"

"Fujimaru-kun, are you okay now!?"

"We have detected that the source of the current singularity is right next to you!"

Suddenly, another gentle but conflicting female voice came from the communication, and one could clearly hear the other party's worry about the boy.

"Well don't worry, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Miss Da Vinci!"

"You don't need to tell me that I have already found the other party."

"Huh?" x2

Fujimaru Ritsuka's words caused the two people on the other side of the "screen" to show surprised expressions.

"No, it's only been a short while, Fujimaru-kun, you've already found your target?"

"And where are you? Why is everything around here white, and there are these... puppets?"

The male and female voices mixed together, and it was obvious that both of them were very concerned about the boy's situation. This concern warmed the latter's heart, which had been ravaged by Xuel.

The young man in the picture should be Dr. Roman mentioned by Fujimaru Ritsuka, and the other older sister who looks gentle and intellectual should be the Da Vinci he mentioned.

Shuul silently observed the excited Fujimaru Ritsuka from the side.
