Offer a savior to the infinite world!

"This may be a bit difficult, but we should be able to find a way to purchase various ingredients in the community and let Mr. Emiya try new varieties."

Ritsuka nodded and said, thinking about whether he should let Emiya sign a follower agreement with the Savior Community after the mission is completed, and then go with him to the Savior Community’s vegetable market to choose.

Well, yes, there is a vegetable market in the Savior Community, and it has everything, from the most common cabbage, water spinach, broccoli and the like, to special things like colorful jerky and brave meat chunks, to weird things like sea turtle meat, Hades lantern eyeballs, and BT's umbilical cord that make it difficult to determine whether they are ingredients or not. There is everything.

Just like the Savior Community itself, it is a place that encompasses everything. Well, the only problem is that it is so large that it is easy to get lost in it and not know what you are looking for. If you have difficulty making choices, you may even faint in it.

This is also reflected in the grocery market in the Savior Community. Even the lowest-level market is so huge that it is unimaginable. Good things and bad things are mixed together and it is difficult to distinguish. Therefore, compared with other Saviors, few are willing to spend time and energy to explore it. Most of them rely on their own strength to fight. After all, if you get yourself a very powerful prop but you don’t know how to use it, the Savior system will increase the difficulty of participating in the task, and as a result, your own combat effectiveness is not actually improved. Then the situation becomes very troublesome.

Unless it is an organized team of saviors, such as the Demon Slayer Corps that is gradually getting on the right track, a lone savior will not rashly obtain these props whose use value they may not even understand. Perhaps only Lin Yi would be so interested in shopping there and really find something valuable. By the way, because the Holy Grail Bottle that Lin Yi brought with him in several missions has a strong effect, now there are many saviors who go to patronize the shop of the man named Lapu, and those degraded Holy Grail Bottles have also been promoted to a certain extent. Maybe it can be regarded as a good thing, right?

"Well, Mr. Lin Yi and Mr. Jotaro have gone to look for Zeref, so let's go back to the room after we finish eating and drinking."

Ritsuka stood up first while saying this, and then his eyes turned to the window.

Is that... fog?

The lights suddenly flickered.

Lily quickly changed from a relaxed state to a combat-ready form. Although she did not summon her own treasure and armor, she stood up and carefully guarded Ritsuka's side.

Gu Ming Di Jue frowned, put down his teacup, walked directly to the window of the restaurant and looked at the ocean outside.

Under the increasingly dark sky, the black and gray fog was sweeping in at a very fast speed.

In just a few breaths, the entire ship was engulfed by the thick fog.

Chapter 42: Final appearance~?

"One after another, a fixed one every day, right?"

Looking out the window of the corridor at the thick fog outside, Lin Yi shook his head and sighed to himself, his tone seeming to reveal a bit of fatigue.

"Do you feel anything?"

Jotaro looked at the thick fog in front of him and frowned slightly, then turned to look at Lin Yi and asked.

"No, at least there is no strong energy flow in the area where the fog and the ship come into contact."

After tentatively sensing the energy through resonance, Lin Yi shook his head and gave a negative answer.

It seems to be just a natural phenomenon.

But it is really hard to feel at ease that such a situation happened at this time.

After the deaths of the previous two Kings of Return to the Spirit, has the last King of Return to the Spirit finally started to take action?

"Hurry up and find the elder first."

Lin Yi suddenly realized that something was wrong, widened his eyes and took the first action.

Soon after, Jotaro also understood what Lin Yi was worried about, and he took a step forward. The two of them ran faster and headed towards the room where Elder Zeref lived.

zizi——

The lights along the way flickered slightly, as if something was interfering with the stable operation of the circuit.

The tourists showed more or less worried expressions. After experiencing two inexplicable accidents such as the so-called pipeline explosions, most of the tourists on the ship became sensitive and cautious, often worrying that something bad would happen again.

But at this moment, Lin Yi and Jotaro had no time to care about these ordinary tourists. Sensing that something bad might be happening, they quickened their pace and quickly arrived at where Elder Zeref was, in a corridor separated from other areas, and walked towards his room.

Before I got close, the pungent smell of blood wafted into my nose.

Is it too late already?

Slowing down their movements, Lin Yi and Jotaro pushed open the door one after another and looked inside the house.

As expected, they saw the dead Returned Soul Hunters lying on the ground, and Elder Jellal, who had stopped breathing, sitting on the sofa facing the door.

Blood was all over the ground, and the bodies of the returning soul hunters were twisted beyond recognition. Some of them seemed to have their bones broken by something, some seemed to have their bodies cut off by something smooth, and some seemed to have been killed by guns or blades.

If we have to say something in common, it is that these people are dead as hell. Each of them has at least one vital part completely destroyed, either the brain is pierced, the heart is punctured, or the trachea is cut off. The people who took action acted on the premise of ensuring that these people [must not survive], and their actions were extremely ruthless and decisive.

And...are the things in the house basically not messy?

Walking into the room, Lin Yi swept his eyes across the furnishings in the entire house and found that there was basically nothing broken or knocked over. Whether it was bottles and jars or small ornaments, they were basically placed in their original places intact.

No, they are not just placed there properly. Have these things been wiped?

Lin Yi walked to one of the glasses on the table, picked it up, and found that the cup itself had been carefully wiped, and the table top on which the cup was placed seemed to have been wiped as well.

It seems that there is more than that. Some glass fragments, dirty paper balls and towels can be seen in the trash can.

The shoe laces of all the dead were tied tightly, and even the tie of Jeff, who died while sitting on the sofa, was obviously adjusted.

Except for the sofa and the floor which were soaked with blood and were indeed difficult to clean, the entire room could be said to have been thoroughly cleaned, and it did not look like it was cleaned by the ship's staff or the Soul Hunters themselves.

But, if it wasn’t the staff and the Guihun Hunters who cleaned it themselves, could it be that the murderer did it?

At this time, Jotaro had already walked in front of Zeref.

The old man's heart was pierced by a sharp knife, nailing him to the sofa. Although he had lowered his head, the angry expression on his face was still frozen, as if he was still roaring and about to launch an attack.

Lowering his head, Jotaro's eyes stopped on the sharp knife.

It is the style of knife used in high-end restaurants.

It just so happens that it is lunch time now, which means that when the other party launched the attack, he just casually picked up a dinner knife from the spot and killed the Returned Spirit Hunter Elder silently without being discovered by the people around him?

"It's a really troublesome situation. It just so happens that the surveillance was destroyed during the previous battle with Neil Tate."

Lin Yi said this with a frown, and quickly explained the situation to Ritsuka and Jue through the mental link.

"..."

Without saying a word, Jotaro reached out and took the communicator from Zeref's hand. The other party held it so tightly that Jotaro had to use some effort to take it off.

"Let's leave the on-site investigation to Curse Wrist. Let's leave here first and don't destroy the scene."

As Lin Yi spoke, he took the lead and walked out of the house.

Jotaro took one last look around the room before turning and leaving.

Now that all the local forces that could support their actions have been destroyed, the situation may become even more difficult.

The thick fog outside the window has now completely enveloped the ship itself. No matter which direction you look in, you can only see black and gray clouds.

Jotaro opened the communicator and found that it had a password lock and the emergency call program could not be dialed through. It seemed that the network for external communication had been completely cut off.

From the discussions of some other passengers, there was also mention of network interruption. It seems that after entering the thick fog, the ship completely lost all contact with the outside world, as if it was trapped on an isolated island.

boom!

A flash of lightning suddenly exploded in the fog, illuminating everything in an instant.

The rumbling thunder came later, mixed with the screams of some nervous tourists who were frightened.

And at this moment, Lin Yi and Jotaro slowly stopped, then they raised their heads and looked towards the front of the corridor.

Looking in the corridor ahead, they saw a tall figure standing above the upward stairs in front of them.

The huge body, at least 2 meters tall, blocked the two men like a mountain.

The man himself looked very ordinary, and lacked the intimidating power that matched his huge figure.

At this moment, the man's feet were alternating. The foot that was at the back was bent, with only the toe of the high-end leather shoe touching the ground. The other foot was stepping forward steadily, and his body was slightly leaning to one side.

The man put his right hand on his waist, with only the back of his index and middle fingers resting on his waist, and the other hand was slightly raised, with his fingers gently touching his chin.

His head was tilted back slightly, his hair was a little messy, but not to the point of being tattered. His dark brown eyes, which were no different from those of ordinary people, were calmly staring at Lin Yi and Jotaro at the bottom of the stairs, without revealing any emotion.

Danger!

This man is very dangerous!!!

As soon as they discovered the opponent, Lin Yi and Jotaro prepared to fight back without hesitation.

The straight-line distance is about 3 meters, which is not too long. As long as you take one meter forward, you can reach the range of Jotaro's Star Platinum. And at this distance, you don't need to consider aiming with your gun at all, you can easily hit the opponent.

Quickly thinking about the battle strategy.

At this moment, Lin Yi felt a real sense of threat from the man in front of him. He was a real scary opponent who would kill him if he wasn't careful.

Just as the two men were preparing to fight, the man who maintained the strange posture slowly spoke.

"F-class savior, Jotaro Kujo, Lin Yi, hello."

The first sentence that came out of his mouth made the two people downstairs stunned.

"My name is Atreus, my spiritual language is Giant, and I am a member of the Evolvers."

"It's nice to see you guys entering the world I live in, even though this is an unannounced intrusion."

As he spoke calmly, Atreus took a step forward and walked towards the two people in front of him.

Chapter 43: Atreus?

Regarding this person, who may very well be the last enemy they need to face, and regarding the King of the Returned Spirits, Atreus, Lin Yi had imagined various scenarios of encounters, such as the opponent suddenly jumping out and launching a surprise attack when they turned a corner, or launching a sneak attack directly in the room where they lived, or directly sinking the ship or something like that.

Lin Yi made the highest judgment on this enemy whom he had not met yet according to his own standards of conduct, but in the end, this guy appeared in front of him so directly and openly without any concealment. To be honest, it really surprised him.

Moreover, savior…did he say the word “savior”?

"Evolver."

Jotaro whispered, his expression changing slightly, obviously realizing the current situation.

Facing the two people downstairs, the tall man named Atreus did not make any attacking gesture. He just reached into his pocket and took out a small black metal bar to show it.

[Anomalous technological artifacts have been confirmed]

[The goal of this mission: to destroy abnormal technological creations. The goal has been confirmed]

The next moment, the system prompt sounded clearly in the ears of Lin Yi and Jotaro.

"It seems to be true. The last hope of the Guiling Clan is an unforgivable sin for the Savior System."

With a brisk voice, Atreus put the metal bar back into his pocket, and his expression immediately became indifferent.

"The Guiling people don't need a last hope, because they are not in danger of extinction, and you are not a Guiling people. At least according to our investigation, the so-called 'Guiling people' active in this world today are probably not the real Guiling people, but the result of some biological experiment."

Lin Yi spoke without hesitation, telling the information he knew, and raised his head to look at the other party.

"So, do you want me to hand this thing over? Or do you want me to surrender directly?"

But Atreus did not react to this, he just spoke coldly, then he took a step, walked down the stairs, and took a step closer to the two people below.

"In other words, you have no intention of communicating at all. Are you determined to fight to the death right away, just like your two companions?"

Jotaro asked calmly as the silhouette of Star Platinum appeared behind him.

"That's about right. I thought the souls of Niltat and Bashir were enough to activate it, but it turns out that it can only do this much. It seems that we can only extract the souls of everyone on this ship as the activation energy. Well, or we can directly use the souls of you saviors. After all, even if you die here, you can still be resurrected, unlike us who are really dead if we die."

"Well, I have a suggestion. You might as well stop resisting and let me kill you. Since you are good people who can be rescuers, you must be willing to sacrifice for others, right? Then for the more than 10,000 people on this ship who are about to be killed by me, you might as well sacrifice yourself and die here. This way I can save a lot of effort. Or, although you say you are doing good for others, you are not really aware of making sacrifices for it?"

Atreus stopped and stood about two meters away from Jotaro, then slowly spoke on the stairs.

Boom——

Thunder roared again from the thick fog.

The pale light illuminated the stairs and also Atreus' expressionless face.

There is no possibility of communication.

From the expression on the other person's face, Lin Yi was able to confirm this fact.

The other party had absolutely no intention of communicating with them. He appeared here with the pure intention of fighting.

"It seems that the three Kings of Returned Spirits are all mentally ill. What a pity."

Sighing helplessly, Lin Yi prepared himself for the battle.

"Perhaps it's just that we have different ways of understanding the world, Savior."

Atreus shook his head gently and whispered, and the lights above the three people's heads suddenly flickered at this moment.

puff!

The next moment, Lin Yi's chest was pierced from behind.

"what?"

I don't know when, but I took a step back and took out a pistol and pointed it at the empty stairs in front of me.
