How did the good of order become the confidant of the villain? !

"...The Holy Grail War in a broad sense, that is, seven magicians lead their summoned heroic spirits to compete for the universal wish machine 'Holy Grail' that can fulfill the wishes of the holders."

"A heroic spirit is an existence that is transformed into a legend after death, and a hero who is praised by people. If it is summoned by the master (Master) of this world, it will naturally be a servant (Servant)."

"But for some reason, the rules of this Holy Grail War have been distorted, and the venue is also isolated from the outside world, making it impossible to communicate with the 'Seat of Heroes' located outside the world."

"Everyone who is driven is a 'phantom'."

"Although it was born in a fictional story, due to the particularity of this Holy Grail War, it also has super-standard strength."

"Then, I hope that you, as the master, will defeat the enemy and find out the source of all abnormalities—where is the Holy Grail fragment. Only by recovering it can this 'singularity' that shouldn't appear be brought back on track."

"Singularity of the subspecies, [Spell Blockade: Tokyo], the Holy Grail War, officially opened."

This is the words heard in the dark when the consciousness is still in chaos.

In the next second, like a person who had held his breath on the bottom of the sea for a long time finally broke through the water and let the fresh air pour into his lungs, Yu Gongcui suddenly came back to his senses, and even felt a brief sense of dizziness.

...And the scene in front of me is no longer the dilapidated school building of Bingsheng Middle School under the night sky.

It was replaced by a scene that I haven't seen for a long time, but is still quite familiar.

Row upon row of high-rise buildings.Streets with constant traffic.A giant screen showing endorsements by popular female stars is scrolling.As soon as you look up, you can see the sky tree standing on the edge of the horizon, with a few wisps of snow-white clouds under the blue sky on the top of the tower.

——Tokyo.

Yu Gongcui spent the first 16 years of her life, the place where she grew up in the true sense.

The guess is that after touching the so-called cornerstone, she was rejected by the world and came to a new copy. Amamiya Cui, who stood alone among the traffic, was slightly distracted by the scene imprinted in her mind, but in an instant, she recalled The sound heard before waking up.

This task seems to be different from the previous ones.

Just about to call the system to answer questions, but before looking back from the spire of the sky tree standing a hundred miles away, a shadow suddenly fell.

Is it dark clouds?

It's such a sunny day——

The darkness gradually expanded, and the passers-by who were in a hurry also noticed that something was wrong. They stopped and looked up at the sky, a little uneasiness appeared on their numb faces.

Like a bowl of ink spilled on the sky of Tokyo, it gradually slid down from all directions along the invisible hemispherical barrier, and finally formed a giant screen covering the entire dome.

Connecting the horizon from the high altitude, they are all covered with the faintest, distorting and changing vague gray.

【——It’s like covering the whole city with a layer of veil. 】

This is the unified thought of most witnesses.

Standing in the crowd, looking up at the sky with countless curious or terrified citizens, the name of this so-called "singularity" flashed in his mind.

[Spell blockade, desperate situation, Tokyo].

"For some reason, the site of this Holy Grail War is isolated from the outside world" - it seems that this seemingly harmless gray barrier is the reason.

However, even ordinary people can see it?

It seems that the boring daily life of the first 16 years and the crazy travel after installing the system suddenly confuse, bringing a sense of dislocation of the world view.Yu Gongcui took a deep breath, and planned to call out a substitute to fly to the barrier to have a look, maybe he could analyze some news.

"'Ghost Beacon'."

After mumbling in a low voice, what responded to him was not the sound of flapping wings, but a crisp "chirp" from his shoulder.

Yu Gongcui froze suddenly, and looked down in disbelief.

The little blue bird with the size of a palm on its shoulder tilted its head, and looked innocently at the main body with its dark pea-like eyes. After receiving the order from its mind, its short wings, half-length long, flapped vigorously at a mosquito-like frequency. , and then flew up "buzzing", trying to support the chubby body to reach a height of [-] meters, touching the gray screen.

"........."

Silently, Yu Gongcui stretched out her hand to hold the little pompom, and placed it on her shoulder again.

"It's okay, you just stay here."

The status of the stand-in is closely related to the main body, and the "Ghost Beacon" will change back to this childish appearance just out of the shell, no doubt because there is something wrong with Yu Gongcui itself.

He walked through the chaotic crowd caused by the fall of the barrier, walked to the window of the clothing store on the roadside, and looked at the reflection on the glass.

The curvature of the cheeks is relatively round, and the distance from the tip of the nose to the chin is short, which sets off the larger proportion of the unwavering black eyes, thus bringing a full youthful feeling that is about to come out.

In addition to the difference in age, the facial features are also more beautiful and soft than in the previous world, and the unique depth of mixed blood is gone, and it is [-]% oriental.

——Although the faces used in various mission worlds are slightly adjusted according to the background, or are not changed at all, but at this moment, Yu Gongcui is absolutely convinced that this is her true face.

The face of a 16-year-old when selected by the system.

The reason why the "Ghost Beacon" became that way is also because the self in the last copy had just awakened as a substitute at the age of 16, and it was indeed just a bird at that time.

I lowered my head and checked briefly. The skin on the bare/exposed parts of the limbs was smooth without any scars.Wearing a nondescript trousers and sweater with a jacket, after reaching into his pocket, he found a familiar mobile phone and keys.

Like the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle that completes the whole picture, Yu Gongcui watched them, and finally confirmed at this moment that he did not come to the next world, but returned to his own world.

After a short period of bewilderment, big and small soap bubbles filled with doubts rose in his heart. He put the phone back in his pocket, fiddled with the key, and poked the system slowly.

"what is the problem?"

After identifying the location, Yu Gongcui tried her best to recall the location of the residence, and felt that it should be not far away, so she walked along the road in the general direction.

【It’s what Alaya Consciousness told the host earlier. ] The system's reply was full of grievances.

[Obviously we are not a system at all!In the end, because leaving the previous dungeon world was too sudden, I had to put the host into the reward world, which is your original world, in advance. It actually took advantage of the fire and arranged an extra task for the host to participate in the Holy Grail War! 】

Recalling the relevant definitions, Yu Gongcui questioned: "But I'm not a magician?"

[The host also noticed the "tab" that was put down, right?That's right, here is a singularity created by someone with the power of the Holy Grail fragments, and the rules of the seven groups of contestants competing with each other have been distorted. 】

[The current situation is that the "behind the scenes" is also not a magician, and because the "tent" blocks the communication with the Seat of Heroes, it drives only a few phantoms born in local legends.Then, in order to smooth out this singularity, Alayashi chose you to attack him! 】

"So, there are only two of us participating in the battle?"

[That's right! 】

"'Although the person being driven is a phantom, it also has super-standard strength', although I guess this phantom is the incarnation of the legend, but it has such a strong follower, and it has fragments of the universal wishing machine... What do you think? I have no chance."

Yu Gongcui turned from the bustling street into a relatively quiet alley, and raised her hand to touch the stand-in's sharp beak.

"I'm basically an ordinary person now. How do you say, do you want me to use this little guy to hit people?"

The Ghost Beacon nibbled at his fingertips reproachfully, cooing in protest.

He lowered his eyelashes, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up.

[Of course not, it is impossible for Alaya Shi to be so stingy.In short, after the communication, the two of us reached a harmonious and satisfactory agreement, and the host’s customs clearance gift package was released one step ahead of time, but the form has changed a bit——]

What is the meaning of the chatter of the mental thinking system, and the route in memory has been blurred, and Yu Gongcui wandered outside a certain unfinished building without paying attention.

At a cursory glance, the whole street is full of blank houses that have been left in place after being half built. The gray cement plastered is rough and uneven, like a lifeless corpse.

The scaffolding erected outside has been covered with a layer of vicissitudes of rust after being exposed to wind and rain.

He stood there looking around, not paying attention to what the system said for a moment.However, before distinguishing the road, he first noticed something shaking slightly in the shadows inside the unfinished building.

Stray cat?

Originally, it was just a thought that was casually slid across the water, but subconsciously projected the vision into the corridor, but caught a foreign object that was completely unreasonable.

——The huge, miserable green fish tail covered with scales, meandering in the shadows, penetrated deeper in an instant, and disappeared.

But the sticky gurgling sound of a giant beast moving forward in the swamp can still be heard. Obviously, it has not gone far, and is still wandering in the building.

Yu Gongcui raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, after confirming that she was not dazzled, she hurriedly interrupted the system's chatter.

"what is that?!"

The system stopped explaining, and seemed to scan the surroundings quickly, and then gave the answer.

[A collection of human negative emotions is generally called a curse or a curse.The host should not have a skeptical expression of "Is this really my original world?"!Ordinary people can't see that kind of thing! 】

So I'm really not an ordinary person now?

But what's the use of just "seeing".

The footsteps have begun to move there unconsciously, and this kind of thing suddenly appeared in the world I have lived in for 16 years, and the curiosity to find out immediately has an overwhelming upper hand.

But for safety reasons, before entering the unfinished building, Yu Gongcui still asked cautiously.

"Will it be dangerous?"

The system answered resolutely: [No! 】

He was a little relieved, and strode into the building.

The curse was disturbed by the sound of footsteps, and the six legs in its abdomen climbed along the wall, and rushed up to the roof with a whoosh, where it hung upside down in a posture that defied gravity.

The swollen head has dense, rotating compound eyes. The overall shape is more like a deformed and huge lizard, but it also has a fish tail, and the feet supporting the body are pitifully short.

It fits the public's definition of "monster" very well.

This chic little thing stared at Yu Gongcui, and the stinky saliva flowed from the huge mouth with intertwined fangs, making the latter cover his nose and take a step back in disgust.

Curiosity killed the cat. Sure enough, if you don't buy a ticket for a free tour, you can only see this kind of sanity, so he shouldn't come in.

Yu Gongcui turned around without hesitation, turned around and left.

Seeing this, the curse rushed towards it at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its huge body. While blocking the door, it opened its mouth wide, and the tongue that was curled up in the mouth like an octopus tentacles popped out, rushing towards this side like a cannonball!

Yu Gongcui was startled, and tried her best to avoid sideways, watching the curse's missed blow penetrate the concrete wall behind her, and easily punched a big hole in the skewed steel bar.

"..."

He was forced to accept the reality, and while running around in embarrassment, he furiously questioned the system, "You don't call this dangerous?! I'm bare-handed now, and I don't have any means of self-protection. Do you have so much confidence in me?!"

The system replied loudly with aggrieved: [I said that I negotiated with Alayashi to distribute the big gift package!Host, you just need to think a little bit and get it, won't it be fine! ! 】

It seems that there is such a thing.

At the beginning, I asked whether the system package contained property or powerful abilities, but now it seems that it should be the latter?

Yu Gongcui was not guilty, and simply clicked on the interface that popped up in her mind to confirm the receipt.After a gorgeous special effect of fireworks exploding, he saw the monster's tail swung in front of his eyes, but he didn't feel the spontaneous power at all, and he was still that weak male high school student.

Garbage system kill me! ! !

Just as Yugong Cui roared silently with a ferocious face, a familiar figure who appeared at an unknown time quickly stepped forward and blocked him from the curse.

Just seeing the sand-colored windbreaker that hangs down to the calf, and the bare bandage on the wrist, the tip of the tongue already has the name that is about to be pronounced.

The sound of gunshots rang in my ears, and the curse of being attacked screamed in pain, and the injuries were far more serious than those caused by ordinary pistols/guns.The tall young man in a sand-colored windbreaker had a cold expression on his face, and he continued to fire his gun indifferently until it turned into a burst of smoke and completely dissipated between the sky and the earth.

Bending his head to listen to the wailing of the curse spirit before death, Glo/K, who was smoking green smoke, slowly put down, his movements were restrained and suppressed, as if he was carefully enduring something.

After tidying up his expression, he turned around slowly.

The kite-colored eyes looked at the familiar black pupils, adjusted the slightly frivolous smile on his face, and prepared to throw out the carefully whitewashed rhetoric in the whim of his mind——

But the other party, after a brief daze, showed an unexpected and troubled smile first.

"Zhijun?"

To be called by name so intimately.

...But, the way I'm dressed up now, obviously shouldn't be...?

Yu Gongcui was locked on by the young man's eyes full of inexplicable emotions, thinking that the silence was just dissatisfaction with her departure last time, she couldn't help raising her hands in surrender.

"It's hard to meet again. Forgive me for the past. Although I don't know how you appeared here, but it has been so long, how is everyone in the Armed Detective Agency?"

Dazai Osamu stared at him for a while with his iris-colored eyes not covered by the bandages, and when Amamiya Tsui couldn't help but feel at a loss, he let out an annoyed "tss".

The young man turned his head, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and complained in his familiar yin and yang tone.

"Thanks to you, of course it is very good. But every time everyone asks about Amamiya's recent situation, I don't know how to answer. If I know that you took time out of your busy schedule to care about them, I will definitely be touched Did you cry?"

Yu Gongcui, who was being pitted, lay flat and let the ridicule go, not forgetting to dryly defend herself weakly.

"I'm not, I'm not, Zhijun, don't say that—"

While exchanging feelings with old people, I try my best to understand the current situation.

So, the big gift package of the system is... Osamu Dazai from the Armed Detective Agency?

What's the logic?

He quickly gave up the thinking mode of understanding artificial mental retardation, and took two steps forward to ask Osamu Dazai.But the young man's gaze was fixed on behind him, and before Yu Gongcui noticed it, he was pulled away by his wrist——

And where the original foothold was, the concrete floor has been cracked by the tentacles winding out from the cracks in the wall.

Perhaps attracted by the gunshots just now, a meat ball monster with hundreds of winding tentacles squeezed through the door opening on the side, and immediately sealed off the entire room when it found two people in the room .

Compared with the previous curse spirit, which was just purely disgusting, it had a tyrannical aura that made it hard to breathe.

Osamu Dazai pressed his hand on the gun at his waist again.

"This one... is much stronger than the one just now." He blocked Yu Gongcui behind him, and whispered, "I'll open a way first, you escape to a safe place and wait for me, you understand?"

"Does Zhijun want to protect me?"

Amamiya Tsui communicated with the system quickly, and after confirming that there were other parts in the gift package besides Osamu Dazai, she decided to open it in one go.

Not at this time, but when!

He smiled and patted the young man's shoulder, feeling the unnatural stiffness of the other's body for a moment, but he didn't take it to heart, "Thank you, but I can't keep bothering you."

Summon the full power of the spree with curiosity, and the effect is immediate.

One after another figures appeared, from mist-like indistinctness to solidification gradually, as if they understood their own situation in an instant, and each used their means to launch a swift attack on the overwhelming tentacles in front of them.

Before the octopus-shaped mantra had time to resist, it was already overwhelmed by various abilities, like a popped bubble, it exploded into colorful smoke with a puff.

Yu Gongcui, who had resolved the crisis, was not happy at all.

Yu Gongcui was dumbfounded.

Yu Gongcui's scalp was numb.

With sweat dripping from his brow, he looked around the whole room, recognized the true identities of those figures in an instant, couldn't help moving his feet, and really had the urge to run away.

However, as soon as he made a move, he was firmly nailed in place by the sights cast to this side.

... Everyone is my best friend, so you won't embarrass me, right?

Yu Gongcui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and surrounded by a total of seven capture targets and former friends, she spoke awkwardly and tremblingly.

"—Calm down, I can explain."
