[Comprehensive] If you don't agree with one word, you will dry the boat

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer and it coincided with the rainy season, which made this city, which has been mild and dry all year round, inevitably be stained with a layer of humidity.

The rain in the rainy season is the most annoying, not only because of the softness and fineness that is different from the rain in the tropical rainforest, but also because of the duration of the rain.

As if to complete the whole year's rainfall in one go, the pattering rain continuously scrubs everything that can be soaked——

Dirt, asphalt, grass, summer flowers, glass, brick walls, birds, and passers-by hurrying through the irritating drizzle.

Zhou Jianwen, who was inexplicably exiled to this city by the system, did not hold an umbrella. Her early life experience told her that even holding an umbrella under such rain would be useless.

After all, the rainwater is too gentle, as long as the breeze blows, it will be scattered in the air wantonly, and eventually the pollution will be everywhere.

Thinking of this, she who had been walking slowly in the drizzle stopped, lowered her head and looked at the trousers she was wearing.The black suit fabric reflected a layer of light in the not-so-good light, which was obviously the result of being soaked by rain—more precisely, the moisture in the air.

This feeling of not being completely soaked, but sticky to the body is really uncomfortable.

But Zhou Jianwen didn't intend to turn back because of this. She looked up at the sky that was not blocked by the umbrella, and there was no sunshine in the sky, which was a vast expanse of whiteness. I can feel the heavy and oppressive problems coming to my face.

The pale sky is really dazzling.

Feeling that her eyes were going to be blinded in another sense, Zhou Jianwen sighed silently, and then moved forward again.

Completely different from the pace of the strangers walking beside him, Zhou Jianwen's slow-moving behavior seems to be inconsistent with the city—especially the city in the rainy season, but more like enjoying the life of the wild cranes in the countryside hermit.

Such an abnormal and strange posture has attracted the attention of some people who are still leisurely.

Zhou Jianwen naturally noticed the eyes they cast on her - she stayed in the last world for a hundred years and experienced more than 9000 battles; no matter how dull Zhou Jianwen used to be, she will become sharp .

Besides, she was never dull.

But Zhou Jianwen didn't pay special attention to them, she just walked slowly in this highly modernized city at her own pace - even the modernization made her have some illusions.

She stayed in the last world for a hundred years, but in those more than 100 years, in order to avoid various problems, she only went to this world three times in the end-and each time she came and went in a hurry to save people, and it was not even too late Take a good look at the worldly situation.

Of course, Karakura Town itself is a small town with mostly residential areas. Even if she wanted to see something, she could only see various houses at most.

So the last time she stood in a city full of tall buildings seemed to be on the first map.

The ridiculous thing is that even in that world, she didn't have the opportunity to observe the city - because she was either busy escaping for her life, or was busy figuring out how to kill the BOSS, and she didn't have the leisure time to reminisce about urbanites rhythm of life.

Now that she is standing in a modern city again after many years, Zhou Jianwen is surprised to find that she seems to be unable to adapt to the fast pace of urban life.

This is not a good sign.

Especially the map in this chapter is based on the premise of this city.

That's why Zhou Jianwen walked in Yumu like this after the system transferred her to this world. The purpose is to be able to grasp the situation in a short time so that she can reintegrate into the city faster and better. in life.

only……

Seemingly aware of some strange movement, Zhou Jianwen, who was still walking slowly on the street, even looking left and right at the goods in the window and her own reflection on the glass, suddenly quickened her pace, and then turned around Into an alley.

Seeing the person who was not flustered and walking slowly, he suddenly ran away without a trace, and the person who followed behind the woman in a suit was stunned for a moment, but after he saw which alley the woman turned into After that, another exaggerated and malicious smile appeared on the other party's face.

So he quickened his pace and followed.

It was a rather deep dead end, located between two high-rise buildings. Due to the fact that there were few people in the street and it was not seen all year round, although there was no garbage in this narrow alley, it was cold and damp.

If you want to do some private things, then this is definitely a good location.

But for those who escaped, this is not a good place to go.

The man who had been following Zhou Jianwen for a while turned from the already dark avenue into a darker alley, and then saw the back of a young woman in a suit.

The woman is tall and tall. Although she is wearing a pair of black square-root leather shoes that don't look very trendy, her legs are even more slender; her long black hair is tied high by a hair rope, and it is well maintained on weekdays Her hair was stained with a thin layer of dampness due to the rain.

Seeing this, the man showed a blatant smile, and seeing that there was no third person present in the alley except them, he took the initiative to speak to the back.

"Is this lady waiting for someone?" It was a cliché opening line, but it was extremely useful on this occasion.

After all, it doesn't really matter what was said, what matters is what happens next.From his point of view, this woman probably has spotted his trail||, tried to go around into the alley to throw him away, but didn't want to break into a dead end, "It seems that the person you are waiting for hasn't come, why don't you talk to the big one first?" Brother, I..."

"The person I was waiting for didn't come?"

Zhou Jianwen, who hadn't made a sound since she turned into the alley, suddenly spoke, interrupting the man's clumsy hook-up with obvious despicable thoughts, she taunted the corners of her mouth, and then slowly turned around Get up.

Perhaps it was due to the attractiveness of the clear female voice, the man even subconsciously ignored the mockery in her tone, just as he was planning to use the not-so-bright light to take a closer look at this attractive woman at a close distance. When the attention-grabbing woman's appearance has even taken the first step toward her——

In the next second, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, followed by a whirlwind. Before she was completely plunged into darkness, she heard the beautiful woman say:

"No, you're wrong, the person I'm waiting for has already arrived."

The man who fell into a coma lost his legs, and immediately fell on the wet ground in a face-grabbing posture without anyone supporting him.And because of his fall, it also revealed the petite woman with silver hair and red eyes standing behind him from some unknown time.

This petite woman is so petite that one could almost mistake it for a little girl at first glance. Her red eyes are filled with indifference as she watches the man slowly fall down. There is no fourth person in the alley. In the case of someone else, this woman is obviously the culprit who knocked the man out.

The silver-haired woman tugged at the pair of black gloves she was wearing, and then took out a black long-handled umbrella from nowhere, and walked towards Zhou Jianwen while opening the umbrella. Take a look at the fallen man.

"You'll catch a cold like this," the silver-haired woman held the end of the umbrella with one hand, tipped her feet and raised the umbrella high above her head, "Signorinaammiraglio."

The scene of the petite girl standing on tiptoe made Zhou Jianwen feel heartwarming, but also a little bit funny.Just considering the self-esteem of the secretary ship she trusted, Zhou Jianwen finally swallowed all her smile.

She took the umbrella from Veneto, patted her on the shoulder under the dissatisfied gaze of the other party, and then put the umbrella between the two of them, "How is the situation at the command post?"

When they transferred from the map in the previous chapter to this map, the command post did not know whether there was a small shock due to the space transfer. Although it was not as serious as an earthquake, there were some serious shocks. Big but troublesome question.

That's why Veneto didn't appear in this world with her.

Because she needs to be responsible for statistics of the disaster situation in the command post.

"The 22 ship girls in the command post are in good condition. No one was injured due to the shock. In terms of property, there is not much loss except for some porcelain that was broken due to the fall. It's just..."

Veneto showed a rare look of hesitation, which also made Zhou Jianwen, who had already started to walk out of the alley, feel strange, "Did something happen?"

Hearing that Zhou Jianwen asked the question himself, after a brief hesitation, Veneto still made up his mind to report that matter - even if he didn't say it now, Zhou Jianwen would find out sooner or later.

"Yes, Signorinaammiraglio, Prynne...is missing."

Bai Lan disappeared?

This is really a novelty for Zhou Jianwen.

After all, when the shock occurred in the command post, she was sorting out her thoughts in her office. After being hit by the shock, she couldn't care about where Bai Lan was. However, before she could finish investigating the damage in the command post, she was sent to to the city.

So he never thought about why Bai Lan never appeared.

Zhou Jianwen was absolutely convinced that when he killed Bai Lan in the last map, he did return to the command post with him, so now he doesn't show up—was he also sent somewhere by the system?

Zhou Jianwen felt that the possibility was not low.

"Forget it, Bai Lan's problem is not in a hurry." Zhou Jianwen held a black umbrella and took Veneto back to the main road. "The most urgent thing now is to find out where the world we are in is. .”

The issue of Bai Lan's disappearance actually didn't bother Zhou Jianwen for too long, because she believed that as long as the other party was still in the same world as her and performed the same task...

Then they will meet sooner or later.

So it's better to buy time to investigate where she is now. She doesn't want to repeat the mistakes she made in the last world.

With the help of Veneto, who is the ship's mother, Zhou Jianwen finally no longer walks aimlessly on the street like before.According to Veneto's guidance—or to use a buzzword that fits both Veneto's status as a ship's mother and this modern city, under Veneto's navigation, Zhou Jianwen finished exploring more efficiently. this city.

In other words, it was half of this city named "Fuyuki City".

Before the night fell completely, they ate and strolled around half of the city, and finally took the night to a red bridge that was said to be a landmark building in the city.

Since she already knew the name of the city, before stepping on the bridge, Zhou Jianwen subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the sign at the entrance of the bridge. It is not difficult for her to recognize a hundred years old.

But what is hard to admit is the fact that "this world" is indeed the "that world" she knows.

Thinking of what was about to happen in this world, Zhou Jianwen finally couldn't help but sigh in front of Veneto, who had been pent up in her chest for about half a day.

As keen as Veneto, he actually noticed that his Miss Commander was not in a good mood early in the morning. Hearing her sigh again at this moment, Veneto raised his head quickly, and looked at the other side's profile through the lights of passing vehicles. "Signorina ammiraglio?"

"No, nothing."

Under the sky that gradually turned from white gray to red and black, Zhou Jianwen took Veneto to walk on the pedestrian passage on the left side of the bridge. Through the rain curtain, she looked towards the motor vehicle passage in the center of the bridge and saw red. The headlights of the car and Bai form a bond in the center of the bridge, flowing continuously on the bridge surface reflected by the accumulated water.

In addition to Zhou Jianwen and Veneto, who are carrying a wet black long-handled umbrella and are not easy to mess with at first glance, there are actually many people on the pedestrian passage, some of whom seem to be in a hurry. There are locals who rush back to their homes on the other side of the bridge from the bustling city, but there are also many tourists with cameras in their hands.

As for Zhou Jianwen and Veneto, they look neither like locals nor tourists, except for an umbrella in their hands, they don’t carry other items—even most of the women go out They didn't have the necessary bags, and together with their suits, gloomy faces, and somewhat unpleasant auras, many passersby questioned their identities for a while.

——For example, black|||hand|||party or something.

Zhou Jianwen has heard such words countless times today, she never cares about other people's eyes and comments, let alone her heart is in chaos at this moment.

"About the problems of this world, I think Signorinaammiraglio should have come to a conclusion."

Seeing Zhou Jianwen looking for a place with few people and looking at the reflection of the brightly lit bustling city under the bridge on the water, Veneto, who hadn't seen such a scene for a long time, broke the silence first.

As Zhou Jianwen's most capable assistant, she even has the right to continue talking without waiting for her commander's response during non-command operations, "Is it troublesome?"

Zhou Jianwen is not surprised that Veneto can see through her troubles at a glance. She shrugged, and her eyes stayed for a while without focus on the bright lights reflected on the river. After a long time, she He replied in a muffled voice, "...Maybe it's more troublesome than every time before, maybe I really have to explain it here."

"But no matter what, Signorinaammiraglio won't back down, will he?"

Veneto was not the first ship girl to come to the port area, but since she became Zhou Jianwen's secretary ship, she has spent more time with Zhou Jianwen than any other ship girl, and naturally knows that her family Commander is not a coward who will back down easily.

flinch?Hey, what are you kidding!

This is Zhou Jianwen, the commander of the H-BF19 port area who is famous in their world for "not accepting the frontal butt, trapezoid is doing it"!In the words of Richelieu, who is still asleep, all the words related to "retreat" have never appeared in Zhou Jianwen's dictionary.

Even when the "Deep Sea Vengeance Fleet" came to the command post, Veneto never saw his own commander fear. Now how could these few enemies who have not even appeared make Zhou Jianwen surrender without a fight?

Veneto believes that her commander is only confused because of the information and intelligence she has at hand, and when she wakes up from this confusion...

It's time for those enemies to taste the power of the bomber brigade and artillery team.

Sure enough, after hearing Veneto's question, Zhou Jianwen was only silent for a short while, and then showed a confident smile that Veneto felt very familiar with——

This is the smile that all the ship girls in the command post like to see the most.

"Then why do you need to ask?"

she says.

Even if you really want to participate in the black mud... No, what about the "Holy Grail War", even if you want to confront six groups of enemies at the same time that are stronger, cunning, and difficult to deal with than any opponent you have ever come into contact with?

"How could I do something that only a coward would do, like 'backing down'. "

——She still wins for them to see!

In fact, as Veneto firmly believed, Zhou Jianwen had never flinched from the very beginning, but suddenly knowing that she came to Fuyuki City and what she was about to encounter made her a little dazed and uneasy.After all, as she said, this world is more dangerous than the previous two, and it can even be said to be much more dangerous; but with Zhou Jianwen's character, she will wake up from this daze sooner or later, and then participate in the in.

And what Veneto said just speeded up this process. Of course, the matter of "speeding up" itself is indispensable for Zhou Jianwen, because I don't know what kind of time background it is now. Under the circumstances, Zhou Jianwen also felt that she didn't have much time for unnecessary confusion and fear.

After all, once the "Holy Grail War" starts, it will not stop until the winner is decided, and in the case of multiple parties using intelligence and material resources to engage in melee, it is even rare that there will be a stalemate.

Therefore, it is very important to enter the state in advance and do sufficient preliminary work so that the rhythm can be controlled after the battle begins.

Veneto's reminder and encouragement came at the right time, directly and decisively dispelling Zhou Jianwen's emotions that he didn't know how long it would take him to deal with - not even overnight.

And this is why Zhou Jianwen asked Veneto to be her secretary, because she not only has a clear mind all the time, and the skills to deal with complicated affairs quickly and effectively, but also because she can always be in the first place. Time knows what Zhou Jianwen needs.

No matter whether Zhou Jianwen himself realizes this or not.

"Grazie, Vittorio," Zhou Jianwen reached out and rubbed Veneto's damp silver short hair. The soft texture made Zhou Jianwen feel quite satisfied. She always came when she saw Veneto treat outsiders A little smile was also tainted on the indifferent face at this moment, Zhou Jianwen even took her hand and was about to turn back the same way.

Now that the emotional problem is resolved, the next step is to enter the intense preparations.

Although I don't know what kind of timeline it is now, and I'm not even 100% sure that I really want to get involved in the "Black Mud War", but Zhou Jianwen feels that in this city that has been selected as the main battlefield, There must be means of self-preservation.

What is most needed during a "war" as a person who could be drawn in at any moment?

Of course it's your own position!

If there is not even a position where you can rest and make tactical preparations quietly, but in the most critical moment you can retreat to a firm position, then why fight a serious battle?

Just be a rogue.

Those virtual beings in the virtual circle could be easily wiped out by her, because those existences with no power and no mind did not know the importance of establishing a camp.

As for the Death Skeleton, the former owner of Xuye Palace who was brutally killed by her and Bai Lan, Zhou Jianwen said that it was a matter of strength.

Uh... Maybe there is also the necessary factor of "looking at the face".

"And the camp must meet the conditions of being able to attack and defend. Both offense and defense are the last word. That is to say, the turret and the defense tower are indispensable." After sweeping away the gloomy mood, Zhou Jianwen seemed to have returned to the old days The appearance in the port area, the more he talked to Veneto, "But for us..."

Zhou Jianwen couldn't fully say what it was "to say".

Because her enthusiastic words were only halfway through, and they stopped abruptly as if someone had grabbed her neck, and her footsteps also stopped.

Veneto, who had been silently listening to his commander's explanation, raised his head in confusion, and then looked at the other party's eyes that were like copper bells and an expression of disbelief.

What can make Zhou Jianwen, who is on the top of her head, show such an expression?

Veneto, who stopped along with Zhou Jianwen, followed the other party's line of sight and looked behind him, only to see a tall red and black figure with a height of nearly 1.9 meters in the place illuminated by the oncoming headlights. His dark complexion made him not so obvious in the night, but his white hair looked a little dazzling under the light of the car lights.

But what is more eye-catching than his white hair is the outfit on his body that doesn't match the background of this era.

The black tights and red tunic are not ugly at all—it can even be said to be very suitable for this man with strong muscles.But it is one thing to be suitable, and it is another to match the background of this era. Veneto has already had a little idea of ​​"urban life" today, so she does not think that ordinary urbanites will wear such clothes. clothing.

Yes, that is out of place.

On the contrary, for these ship girls who are not human beings, and did not live in this era at first, this kind of clothing may be "normal" clothing, and they are more tolerant of clothing that seems strange to ordinary people. .

At the same time, she also noticed that just from the back, she could sense the aura in this man that was different from ordinary human beings.

That wasn't just murderous, there were more things that she couldn't even tell.

After discovering the abnormality of this man who has gradually gone away, Veneto also felt a little bit about the fact that "I didn't notice this man who seemed to pass them by at the first time". incomprehensible.

It's not that she thinks Zhou Jianwen, who is a human, is inferior to the ship girl equipped with a radar detector in this respect, she is simply curious about this matter.

Because judging from the situation just now, other than them, the passers-by on the bridge didn't seem to have noticed the existence of this man, so why could my Miss Commander notice it in the first place?

But Zhou Jianwen didn't answer Veneto's question, or she was full of doubts at this time.

If she was not mistaken, the man just now was indeed the Archer who would not appear until the Fifth World War—the real body was Emiya's heroic spirit from the future.At this time he appeared here, could it be that...

The black mud war has already begun?

And in a sense, it's quite a cheating Five Wars?

Then what is her mission in this world?

—Removing the Holy Grail?

The author has something to say: First of all, I would like to thank A Liqin and Dailan Chukong for their long comments + deep-sea torpedoes. I will not say that I was really frightened QAQ

Love you guys MUA

And the fact that the red A came out doesn't mean anything, or it can only mean that Boss Jianwen was cheated by the system again, and after that... forget it, I won't spoil it.

All I can say now is the beginning of the Black Mud War chapter that everyone is looking forward to hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
