Lin Yi turned around, and on his bloody face appeared the same carefree smile as before.

"You will be my eyes."

"I will be your blade."

"Let's work together to overcome the difficulties ahead, complete this mission, and drive away this annoying Fire of Rebirth."

As he spoke, Lin Yi took a step forward, supporting Jianzi with his right arm, which only had about half of it left, and holding the dagger engraved with special patterns in his left hand, he moved forward in the ruins.

The girl lying on his back, unable to utter a word, just continued to remain silent.

In silence, she remembered the words she heard and the scenery she saw at that moment forever in the deepest part of her soul.

Chapter 38: Girl's Growth

Taking a step forward, Lin Yi moved forward among the ruins.

Despite losing his vision, every step he took was extremely steady. Whether it was a collapsed road or raised rubble, he was able to predict it in advance and avoid it.

It seemed that with the loss of vision, his sensory abilities in other aspects were greatly improved, so that after taking a step, Lin Yi could vaguely feel the environmental characteristics of about ten meters around him, and could vaguely perceive whether the road ahead was flat or had pits or bumps, so as to choose the correct path to avoid rugged terrain.

This seems to be an ability that I already have?

Lin Yi didn't know the answer, but he could vaguely feel that perhaps he had mastered the method of maintaining combat effectiveness even when his senses were impaired a long time ago, but now he has forgotten it, so he can only rely on his body's instinct to recall it when facing a similar situation again.

Ha, this feeling is somewhat strange.

How much have I forgotten?

How many skills and abilities do you originally possess but can’t remember now?

I am becoming more and more curious about what I used to look like. Unfortunately, at my current level, it may not be easy to get back my lost past. I can only wait until I become stronger and have access to more powerful saviors, then I will have the chance to do this, right?

As his thoughts raced, in the dark world, Lin Yi felt a small hand gently pinching his back.

"Anything discovered?"

Lin Yi stopped and tilted his head slightly and spoke softly.

"Um... there are two in front, and one on the right, about, um, about twenty meters?"

Jianzi's somewhat nervous voice came from behind. The girl was obviously not a professional fighter and could only roughly estimate the distance.

“Is there a way around it?”

"Well, no, the left side is completely blocked."

"Then be prepared, observe the actions of the three, confirm their movement speed, and then warn me when they get close to me."

With a steady voice, Lin Yi took a decisive step forward.

He saw nothing, nor heard anything unusual.

In the completely dark world, he could only hear the breathing of the girl lying on his back and her increasingly rapid heartbeat.

Plop—Plop—

So loud and clear, it is the breath of life that belongs to Jianzi.

"Don't be afraid."

So he spoke softly.

"Don't be afraid, Jianzi, don't be afraid."

"I'm here. I'm right here."

"Calm down, calm down, and tell me if they have discovered us, and how far away they are from us."

"Don't lose your mind, don't panic, panicking won't save your life, calm down and tell me what you know."

As he spoke as softly as possible, he heard the girl's heartbeat gradually stabilize.

"The one on the right has spotted us. It's not moving very fast. There's still 5 meters to go. The two in front haven't spotted us yet, but one has noticed the movement here and is approaching. There's another one, coming over here!"

The girl's voice was trembling a little, and she became panicked again after just a few words.

However, such a response was enough for Lin Yi to confirm the situation. He took a deep breath, grabbed the dagger in his left hand, took a step back, and quickly slashed forward vertically.

In an instant, he seemed to feel the blade cutting something. The girl's breathing behind him suddenly choked and then relaxed. Then Lin Yi understood that the previous attack had successfully eliminated the monster that approached first.

"The two in front... haven't discovered us yet. The one on the right has disappeared. We can go around it from the right."

The girl lay on Lin Yi's back, lowered her head and whispered in his ear.

"it is good."

Nodding slightly, Lin Yi lowered his body slightly and walked through the road among the ruins.

The surroundings fell silent again.

Once again, the only sounds were Jianzi's breathing and heartbeat.

I could feel the girl's nervousness. After all, the fingers that were grabbing her clothes were almost twisted.

However, Lin Yi did not say anything else. He knew very well that in the face of the current difficulties, he must give Jianzi time and courage to overcome the difficulties on her own, instead of constantly comforting her. He had to let her gradually adapt to the environment here.

So he just kept walking forward without saying a word.

"We are already far away from those two monsters. We can speed up now."

After a while, Lin Yi heard the voice of the girl on his back. Perhaps because she was too nervous, her voice was still trembling.

You don't need me to remind you anymore. Do you know when to give out information?

Lin Yi nodded slightly, very satisfied with the girl's growth, and continued to move forward in silence.

"There's one on the left, about twenty meters away, and it hasn't spotted us yet..."

"There's one in front, only ten meters away, woo, coming over -"

"Huh... Huh... I don't see any monsters around. Wait, the ruins on the right are blocking my view. Be careful... Ouch, there is indeed a monster hiding behind..."

One after another, the reminders from the girl's mouth guided Lin Yi to move forward.

He was very panicked at the beginning, but gradually he was able to calm down. Seeing his son's growth under pressure made Lin Yi look at him with admiration.

Later, the girl gradually learned to carefully observe the various blind spots around her, and was able to think about where monsters might be hiding and could not be seen immediately. She successfully led Lin Yi to avoid a hiding monster.

So as they walked along, the two people gradually moved farther and farther away among the ruins.

"I saw the place we went to before. The formation formed by the golden patterns is still there. Hmm, it's about thirty meters away. We'll be there soon. But I haven't seen Emiya-senpai yet, nor have I seen the big monster."

It took some time, and during this journey that made Jianzi so nervous that his whole body was tense, they finally approached their destination.

It's finally over... No, no, I can't relax yet, the mission is not over yet, I have to continue to pay attention to my surroundings.

The girl was about to relax subconsciously, but after being stunned for only about a second, she quickly reacted and quickly focused her attention to see if there were any enemies around or other situations that needed attention.

Senior Lin Yi, the only one who could protect me, broke one hand and lost both eyes. His strength is much weaker than before. Now I can't just think about being protected by him, but I have to take responsibility to protect him.

Because, now I am the eyes of Senior Lin Yi.

The girl, who was secretly warning herself in her heart, continued to guide Lin Yi on the way forward. What she didn't see was that Lin Yi's brows were slightly frowned, revealing a slightly thoughtful expression.

The number of monsters encountered along the way added up to about ten, which was not a small number.

In the previous battles, the perception and mobility of these monsters were quite terrifying, but why was it not the case with the monsters they encountered this time? Even when the distance was as close as only ten meters, they still couldn't find him and Jianzi?

Was it because the previous summoning of the giant monster was interrupted, causing some kind of chain reaction?

Or is there someone secretly helping them and doing something to these monsters?

As his thoughts surged, Lin Yi, who had no way of coming up with an answer, carried Jianzi on his back and approached step by step the direction of the formation that contained a strong power reaction not far away.

Behind them, in the ruins, a figure walked through the rubble, and its pink-purple eyes swept around calmly.

"Just consider it as a small reward for saving my life."

Along the way, Gu Mingdi Jue used his power to hypnotize and weaken the monsters' perception ability to help Lin Yi and Jianzi clear the obstacles. He rubbed his temples because of excessive use of his demonic power and disappeared silently in the shadows of the ruins.

When Lin Yi finally returned to the huge formation with Jianzi on his back, a ray of light suddenly flashed through the formation, and then the injured Shirou Emiya appeared out of thin air, rolled on the ground, got up and coughed up blood. Not far away on the other side, the huge monster also appeared out of thin air, and fell to the ground with its incomplete body.

Chapter 39: The Remaining Things

"Hahaha……"

Amid the sound of labored breathing, Shirou Emiya raised his head and looked at the huge monster not far away that was on the verge of collapse.

The magic power has been basically exhausted.

At present, his magic power was still too weak, and he had no way to hold on for too long. The previous round of fighting had basically pushed him to his limit. At this moment, Shirou Emiya could not even stand up, and could only lie on the ground gasping for breath.

However, even so, he has completed his mission.

[Rebirth... Rebirth...]

The originally extremely huge and terrifying monster is now only about 1.81 to 1.7 meters in size. Its body is covered with huge wounds caused by the piercing and exploding sword blades, and it looks extremely horrible.

The dark yellow fire of rebirth can no longer sustain the existence of this body. Flesh, blood, bones, soul, everything is experiencing the final collapse and moving towards complete destruction.

At this time, Lin Yi stumbled out of the ruins into the ceremony venue with Jianzi on his back. Lin Yi, who could not see anything, took out his gun, changed the bullet and loaded the gun with the help of Jianzi, then aimed at the crippled monster lying on the ground and fired continuously, finishing off the thing, and finally made the dying monster begin to disintegrate at a faster speed with a howl.

"Mr. Lin Yi, you..."

Seeing Lin Yi's current condition, Shirou Emiya was speechless for a moment. He struggled to get up and didn't know what to say.

"It's nothing to worry about. It's just a minor injury. What's important is what happens next. Is that thing dead?"

Lin Yi, who had put Jianzi down from his back, spoke in a flat tone. His attitude of not taking his injuries seriously at all made Emiya Shirou not know how to respond for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he told Lin Yi that the monster had turned to ashes.

This empty space, which was equivalent to several basketball courts, now only had three saviors on the scene.

Lin Yi, who could no longer see, squatted down and stuck his finger into the ground with golden lines. Almost immediately, his skin was burned by the golden light and his skin ulcerated and spread, but soon the spread of the ulcer stopped, and the wound even showed signs of recovery.

"Sure enough, it's pretty much what I thought."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lin Yi, do you know anything?"

Emiya Shirou, who was barely standing, took a breath and looked at his fellow savior with some curiosity.

"This ritual site should be the place where those researchers who turned into monsters first summoned visitors from another world. Well, maybe in the beginning, when those researchers were still normal people, the test site for their parallel world information exchange experiment was also in this place."

"This place became the initial invasion site of the [Fire of Rebirth]. After those researchers were transformed, they turned this place into a summoning site to summon beings from another world to find a witch who could contain the fire of the Fire of Rebirth...? It should be a witch. At least in the scenes recorded by these flowing energies, this is what they called the special individual they were trying to summon."

"The summoning was not successful. Most of the things they summoned were just junk or things whose uses they couldn't figure out. The few life forms they summoned were also unable to carry the flame. The only one that could carry the flame had to be imprisoned because of its great power and caused them great damage. Um... we saviors were summoned three days after the bearer was summoned."

Lin Yi spoke slowly, feeling the things in the flowing golden light, and explained the situation to the two companions beside him.

"In order to accomplish the experiment, the intensity of the fire of rebirth in this ritual site has been highly degraded to avoid the situation where the summoned individual is killed as soon as he enters. This is also why I can touch and control this ritual site to a certain extent."

"And to achieve our mission goal, what we need to do is to erase the [Fire Seed] they summoned, which is the false sun at the bottom. The energy intensity contained in that thing is quite terrifying. If we forcibly destroy it, it will inevitably cause a shock wave that affects at least half of the planet. Therefore, we have to use these monsters' own methods to deal with them, that is, to give them a taste of their own medicine."

Lin Yi said this, and then immersed his consciousness deeper into this huge ritual venue.

Plop—Plop—

The sound of the beating heart gradually resonated with the burning flame.

Lin Yi carefully controlled the amplitude of the resonance. He knew very well that what he was doing at this moment was extremely dangerous. If he was not careful, his will would go beyond the ritual array and come into direct contact with the power of the fire of rebirth. Once that happened, he would basically inevitably face the terrible result of death without a burial place.

Slowly and more carefully feel this ritual formation and feel the mystery within it.

Then, Lin Yi frowned again.

It seems to be a little different from what was expected.

Why does the content of this ritual array have a filtering part? It's as if it has been prepared to be operated by someone from the outside. It is specially isolated from the external fire of rebirth. Lin Yi carefully sensed it for a long time, but found that he didn't need to be so careful at all. There would be no problem even if he simply took over the control of this ritual array.

Well, this is...

In the flowing energy, Lin Yi saw something.

There are some scattered words that seem to have been left behind by the builder of this ritual array.

【Salute to you, unknown person】

[My name is Ira, although this name is no longer important now. I think I will probably forget myself soon. After all, I am awake less and less now.]

[As a researcher, I thought I was an adventurer who was exploring the future of mankind, but I didn't expect that we would come into contact with malicious beings outside the universe]

[Although it was not our intention, all these disasters are indeed our fault. We have dragged the entire human civilization into the abyss. We are not qualified to beg for redemption, but at least we have to make up for the mistakes we have made.]
