Offer a savior to the infinite world!

[Of course, this is a gift, my mercy, isn't it? ]

[You have to thank me, come on, say it, say you thank me]

[After all, as a slave of the Guiling tribe, as a lowly thing that is not even a human being, this is your only value, isn't it? ]

When the skull was cut open and the brain was cut off and dug out, the man's gentle voice was something Bashir could never forget.

At this moment, these distorted memories, along with an indescribable spirit of madness, violently impacted Gu Mingji Jue's mind, causing the girl to groan, and her eyes, nose and ears bled at the same time, and she almost fainted on the spot.

Even hundreds or thousands of completely crazy evil spirits cannot be compared with this thing. What on earth is she?

Gu Mingdi Jue, who only managed to control her body balance, fell downwards, but Lin Yi quickly reached out and hugged her, holding the petite girl in his arms, and then threw smoke bombs and stun bombs upwards, falling downwards amidst the flash and smoke, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

The furious woman howled, covered in blood, chasing down from above, as hideous and terrifying as a female ghost seeking revenge. She landed on the bottom layer of ice on the fractured surface, stumbling forward surrounded by countless shadows, searching for traces of Lin Yi and Gu Mingdijue.

Not far from the woman, behind a huge ice rock, Lin Yi held the weak Gu Ming Di Jue and hid quietly until he was sure that the woman had gone far away. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and look at Gu Ming Di Jue who was staring at him in his arms.

【Are you okay? 】

Considering that the enemy was not far away, Lin Yi, who did not dare to speak directly, chose to ask Gu Mingdi Jue through the mental link.

[…Hmm, it’s okay. Um…]

【What's wrong? 】

The monster girl hesitated to speak.

Don't hold too tight.

She really wanted to say this, but if the other party really let go of her hand, then...

Lowering his head slightly, Gu Mingdijue looked at his body, which was covered in blood, a little dirty, and basically without any cover, and was being held by Lin Yi.

The towel used to cover the body was pierced at the beginning and became a little tattered. After the fierce battle just now, it had already been stretched to its limit and broken. In other words, now I am presenting myself in front of Lin Yi, a member of the opposite sex, without any cover or hindrance.

[Ah, sorry, I didn't notice that...]

Then Lin Yi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. He lowered his head slightly, reached out and grabbed his long-sleeved T-shirt, took it off and put it on Gu Mingji Jue's head, then pulled it down to cover the girl's body. Because the height difference between the two was even more exaggerated than Fujimaru Ritsuka, Gu Mingji Jue didn't need to worry about possible exposure at this time. On the contrary, Lin Yi was left with only a pair of trousers, and his upper body and feet were completely exposed in the icy ground of more than 30 degrees below zero.

[You read my memory...]

Gu Mingdijue showed a complicated expression. She had not forgotten that Lin Yi had cracked her ability through energy resonance. It was obvious that Lin Yi knew her true thoughts just now, so he helped her put on the clothes.

[It’s not a bad thing for girls to take better care of their bodies. Don’t take it too seriously. By the way, do you want to drink from the healing bottle? I see your hand is broken and needs treatment.]

[…I can probably understand why Ms. Iino loves and hates you.]

【what? 】

Lin Yi scratched his head, not understanding what the other party was saying, and Gu Mingdijue turned his face slightly to avoid exposing the subtle blush on his face to Lin Yi's sight. Then he took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mood, and returned to his expressionless state. Then he turned his head to look at Basher, who was searching for him and Lin Yi in the cave in the mountain behind the ice rock.

[Let’s focus here first]

We have not yet achieved final victory

[No matter how tenacious you are, it's time to defeat this guy once and for all.]

The voice of Gu Mingji Jue coming from the spiritual link was a little dull, but at the same time, a strong desire to fight could be felt.

Even though he usually looks lazy and indifferent, in this life-and-death fight, Gu Ming Ji Jue's belligerent instinct as a monster has clearly been fully mobilized. In other words, as a being born out of human fear, monsters are prone to indulge in killing, and what Gu Ming Ji Jue showed now is the will that a monster should have.

[Yeah, that's right, it's time to defeat this troublesome guy.]

Lin Yi didn't care about this personality contrast at all. He was even aroused by the fighting spirit and replied with a chuckle in the mental link.

At the same time when the two people on this side were about to start the final showdown with the seriously injured Basheer, on the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka, after reaching out to pull the clothes that Lin Yi gave her, tremblingly poked her head out from her hiding and looked at the ruins that were already in a mess.

Has it reached the mountain?

I don't know what the situation is now...

After hesitating for a while, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought about it and finally stood up and decided to take a closer look.

"Little sister, what are you doing here?"

But just as she stood up, a very young woman's voice came from behind her.

"Hey?"

Surprised, Li Xiang turned around and saw a young woman who was about 1.7 meters tall, who was 80% similar to the woman who Lin Yi and Gu Mingdi Jue had just fought with, but looked very young, probably only twenty years old.

"It's very cold here, do you want to come to my house and sit for a while?"

Facing Ritsuka's somewhat dazed expression, the woman smiled slightly, revealing a gentle expression and spoke softly.

Chapter 32: Is the girl fooling you?

Now, what is this situation?

Ritsuka couldn't help but ask herself this in her heart.

Although the woman in front of him looked very young and gentle, she was too similar to Basher who was fighting Lin Yi and Gu Mingdi Jue. It was almost like Altria and Altria Lily were exactly the same.

Why did I meet a woman who was so similar to Bashir?

Is it an enemy?

Could it be an enemy?

Ritsuka felt a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.

There didn't seem to be any hostility.

However, we still cannot take it lightly.

He was now in almost zero-distance contact with the opponent. Even if he activated the Command Spell to summon a Servant, he would definitely not have time to dodge.

But the other party did not attack him right away. Instead, he ran out to greet him normally, just like Mr. Emiya who was responsible for logistics management right after being summoned and made a bowl of soup for him every morning and greeted him in a very normal way.

In other words, at least at this moment, this person does not intend to hurt himself.

So……

The thought of whether to call Lin Yi and Gu Mingji Jue through mental link passed through Ritsuka's mind, and was then quickly rejected.

The two companions were in a life-and-death battle, and calling them at this time would definitely distract them from the fierce battle, not to mention whether they would be discovered by the enemy. In such a dangerous situation, once they were distracted, they might fall into a dangerous situation.

So now, I have to find a way to deal with the current situation on my own.

"Hello, young lady, my name is Kuqiu, may I ask who you are?"

With a smile on his face, Fujimaru Ritsuka then greeted the girl in front of him.

The enemy's power is unknown. In order to prevent the release of spells with "name" as a condition, one cannot easily reveal one's real name. This is the truth that the cheerful magician at singularity F once taught him. In an emergency, Ritsuka simply used part of the mentor's name as his pseudonym, hoping that the other party would not find out.

"Oh, I'm, uh, I'm Basher. Miss Kuchu, you'll easily catch a cold if you wear so little."

The woman in front smiled slightly, and seemed to be happy and excited that Ritsuka was willing to talk to her.

"So, come with me, it's quite warm in my house."

Then he took Lixiang's hand without saying anything and led her down the mountain.

"Hey hey hey——"

Her attempts to resist were completely useless, as the opponent's fingers were like iron pliers. Although she didn't hold on tightly enough to hurt Ritsuka, her small arms and legs were not enough to break free.

Helpless, Lixiang was led by the other party away from the roaring mountains and brought to a small hill not far away. In front of the hill, there was a wooden door located in an ice cave.

"This is my home. It's been a long time since I had a complete guest here."

Basheer introduced Ritsuka excitedly and opened the door.

"This 'complete guest' makes people feel very bad in many ways..."

Rika followed the other person into the wooden door while complaining in a low voice, and found that it was a very cozy little house with its own generator, electric lights, heater and stove, and various furniture such as tables, chairs, bookshelves, beds, etc. Although it lacked many necessities as a place to live, it could be seen that this was indeed where the girl in front of him lived for a long time.

"Because the guests who came here before have been played with by my sister and grandmother. Although it is also fun to keep these guests, they never talk to me, which still makes me a little lonely. After all, they are guests recognized by my sister and grandmother. Since they were brought here by them, they must be good people they think. I always hope to chat with these guests, but they always ignore me."

The girl said this while sitting on the simple little bed and spoke to Ritsuka with a slightly excited smile.

"I-I see. Then, uh, what do you want to talk about?"

Ritsuka's expression became increasingly stiff. He could only try his best to remain calm and continue communicating with Basheer in front of him.

Not good. Very bad.

Although I don't know the specific situation, there is no doubt that the girl's thinking is very distorted and far from that of a normal person.

Even though she seemed very friendly now, Ritsuka was sure that if she said something that made the other party unhappy, she would most likely turn hostile on the spot and turn herself from Ritsuka into Ritsuka-chan.

"Can we talk about anything? I have so many things I want to know."

Bashir, who was getting a little excited, was shaking his legs while speaking.

"Well, you can say whatever you want. We can chat slowly. I also like chatting with people."

Ritsuka tried his best to stay calm and nodded to Basheer.

"Then, then, then, then, do the humans out there like to sleep on peeled human skins?"

"Is it a heavy topic that cannot be seen by minors right from the start? Of course not. Only a very small number of people have such hobbies, and the majority are normal pillows."

"Oh, I see. That's totally different from what my sister said. Would humans really like to mix human blood into coffee? And it has to be fresh blood that flows out of the cut neck on the spot."

"Is this some ancient vampire legend... Of course not. Compared to this kind of unknown stuff, normal coffee, various beverages and water are the majority. By the way, I am a Coca-Cola drinker, and I prefer Coke Zero. After all, it is said that drinking that stuff will not make you fat (whispering)."

"Coke? What is Coke?"

"It's a very sweet water that makes bubbles when you drink it. It's delicious."

"I kind of want it. My sister and grandma never bring me drinks. At most, grandma has brought me cookies."

Sentence by sentence, gradually, from the initial reluctant conversation to unknowingly taking over the conversation, Lixiang began to master the discourse sovereignty of the conversation little by little, and started to introduce various situations of the outside world to this somewhat ignorant girl.

This girl, who had no idea what her relationship with the other Bashir was, seemed quite naive. She knew nothing and just lived in this land of ice and snow.

Just something as small as "the soda tastes good and has bubbles" can make a girl look surprised.

The verbal battle between "Mr. Emiya" and the "Blue Lancer" can amuse the girl and make her laugh happily.

As they chatted, they seemed to become friends, sitting together and laughing. Li Xiang also took this opportunity to ask the other party some questions. For example, where is this place? Her relationship with another similar woman?

And then, Ritsuka simply got the information that [the world of shadows exists in layers, and this is the third layer] and [her sister and she are the same person, they are separated, but still the same person].

Then, Ritsuka tried to ask the other party why she didn't leave, but the girl said, "The humans outside are very dangerous and will definitely hurt me, so I can't leave here." Even though she had never come into contact with other people, and even though the girl herself didn't know why she came to such a conclusion, she really believed it in her heart. She firmly believed that as long as she stepped out of this frozen world, she would be hurt by humans, and tortured cruelly, until she had a mental breakdown and was unable to die.

"Because that's it. Humans will hurt me. Well, they will definitely lock me in a dungeon, peel my skin, roast my body, stab my eyes, and finally cut off my head, just half of it, to see if I can survive. Humans will definitely do this."

The girl said this as a matter of course, with an expression full of certainty on her face, as if what she was saying was actually something that had already happened.

No, I'm afraid it is something that has already happened.

The two Returned Spirit Kings that the saviors have come into contact with so far, whether it is Neiltat or Basher, have undoubtedly reached their current state after suffering the damage inflicted on the Returned Spirits by humans.

For them, the blood and horror that ordinary people can hardly imagine are just natural and they have experienced them countless times.

“…But I don’t think this is certain.”

After hesitating, Ritsuka raised his head and spoke seriously to the innocent-looking girl in front of him.

"But isn't that the way it is?"

Bashir was very confused, but her mood did not change much. Perhaps because it was rare for her to meet someone with whom she could communicate, and because she did talk about a lot of new and interesting things, she was still very patient with Lixiang at this time.

"No, at least I won't do such a thing. I won't torture others for fun. The place where I live is called Chaldea, and the people who stay there are not such people."

"There are indeed many people in this world who have dark hearts and do terrible things, but there are also people who are the opposite of these people, who are willing to treat others with kindness and are willing to use their power for good."

"I may not be able to understand Miss Bashir's pain. After all, I have not experienced anything similar. However, I think it is wrong to generalize all human beings based on a one-sided individual human being. Human beings are diverse and complex beings, and cannot be simply divided like this. At least, I will not be the kind of person who likes to torture and kill others as Miss Bashir said, right?"

Although I know that my words may irritate the other party and may cause bad consequences.

However, facing the indescribable expression of the girl in front of him that was innocent yet tinged with cruelty, Li Xiang did not want to make up lies or deceive the other party.

"How could that be? Even if Miss Kuchu is willing to talk to me and even gets my sister's approval to come into this place, Miss Kuchu is still a human being. Once she leaves here and sees me in the outside world, she will definitely try every means to torture and kill me."

As expected, the girl whose way of thinking was obviously abnormal shook her head slightly and spoke to Ritsuka with great certainty.

"Then I said I am not such a person, how can you prove that I am such a person?"

Then the next moment, Ritsuka's quick rebuttal made Basheer stunned.

"prove?"

"Yes, you said I was that kind of person, but I said I wasn't. One of us must be wrong. So who is wrong and who is right?"
