I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"...Woo! It's--that's not the case."

This kind of thing was exposed on the spot, Li Xiang immediately retorted.

"But that's right, isn't it?"

The professor continued calmly.

"Ah, I see!"

Being exposed on the spot like this, Li Xiang, who was eager to defend herself, suddenly became angry from embarrassment.

"Hmm... so my guess can't be wrong..."

Of course, Professor Moriarty didn't intend to make Li Xiang angry, but it was really interesting to watch him get annoyed because he couldn't explain it.

"Okay, it's true that we had a good time chatting like this...but Wyvern is here!"

Professor Moriarty cleared his throat, and then shouted loudly at Lixiang in front of him.

"I see."

When Lixiang turned his head, many artificial life forms had already walked in front of them, blocking all the surrounding streets and alleys.

"Do you call this a Wyvern?!"

Lixiang looked at the artificial lifeform in front of him that didn't have any dragon characteristics and complained loudly.

"Don't worry about these details! Master-kun! But having said that, if you don't solve the current troubles quickly, I think you have already seen what kind of enemies you will attract."

"Does that mean they were attracted by Rune's magic power?"

Lixiang's eyebrows twitched. This low-level life form's keen perception of magic power is more sensitive than those powerful followers, which is really troublesome.

"Hmm! If you don't want to be exposed, you won't be able to use magic...I'm really sorry, but I don't have much fighting power when I appear in the world as a Caster, so I can only do it so I don't hold you back!"

At this time, the old professor didn't care about the fact that he was a useless piece of trash, and turned back to Lixiang at the same time.

"What a worry-free old man!"

The unbearable Lixiang finally moved, he took off the hood of the pitch-black cloak, and what was exposed in the dense fog was a visor that reflected a cold light.

"Ortenaus armor, combat mode, open"

Accompanied by a mechanical sound, under the isolation of the magic power of Hassan's cloak, Lixiang launched the battle mode without hesitation.

Although he usually fights with the three heroes during training, if he wants to give full play, the increase of the Ortenus armor tailored for him is still indispensable.

"Buzz-"

Swinging a fist in the magic mist, the concentrated energy dissipates into the air. Although the arc cannot be seen, the "humming" sound of the electronic pulse is still very obvious.

"what!"

With the sound of Lixiang's fist hitting a heavy object, an artificial life body flew out directly, and a big hole appeared in the part hit by Lixiang.

At the same time, he avoided the attacks of several other artificial life forms, and kicked one of them to pieces.

"Ah, what an incredible Master...Hey! Stay away from me!"

The professor kicked away an artificial life body rushing towards him with a displeased face.

"bass----!"

And the moment the artificial life body fell to the ground, a cold light flashed in the magic fog that the professor couldn't see clearly, and the artificial life body was split into two.

"Oh!"

At the same time, the sound of the wall shattering sounded behind the professor, and an artificial life body was directly pushed into the wall by Li Xiang, who burst out like a beast.

Crushing the ignorant monster like a jelly, Li Xiang suddenly turned around and bumped into the big hand of another artificial life body head-on, and he was blown out without warning.

"call--!"

Lixiang, who flew out, hit the wall of another house, and then fell into the waterway between the houses.

Those artificial life forms don't have the basic intelligence of normal life, so their actions don't even have the so-called instinctive reactions, they just keep executing the "instructions" of wandering and killing.

"thump!"

Water splashed in the waterway, and the artificial life body rushed to Lixiang in the water, and wrestled with it.

Attacking artificial lifeforms like slimes in water is not a very good experience. Lixiang finally found a chance in the fight with artificial lifeforms and punched them through.

Fortunately, there were not many artificial life forms in this wave. Although the process was a bit embarrassing, Li Xiang and the others solved these monsters very quickly, and the resulting fight did not attract the attention of other existences.

"Huh... are you sure you want to continue walking around?"

It is true that the old professor who was tossed a lot couldn't help supporting his old waist, and said with some headaches.

Li Xiang paused, certainly not because he was hesitating whether he should continue the investigation.

"Well...Although there was a little trouble, it doesn't matter. It's enough to continue the investigation."

Hassan's black cloth cloak was not wet, and after Lixiang shook off the last drop of water, he reopened Ortenaus's mask.

Although using the Ortenaus armor casually will not affect his mana consumption, but adhering to the strategy of keeping a low profile and concealment as much as possible, he still turns off the combat mode that consumes a lot of mana and emits radiation.

Afterwards, they continued to walk through the streets filled with magic fog.

"anyway……"

Lixiang completely slowed down his pace this time. He needed to observe the surrounding situation carefully this time. At the same time, he couldn't help asking Moriarty beside him, "Professor, when were you summoned here?"

Moriarty is a lone follower, which can be seen from Lixiang's magic power reaction. From another perspective, the so-called "lone follower" is the object produced by the restraining force of this planet. The protection mechanism of the singularity, in other words, exists the same as the white blood cells in the human body.

As long as time and space change, and the era is abnormally distorted, then the restraining force, which has no concept of time itself, will bring servants who can repair the singularity to this singularity.

Then if the inference is reversed, the time when the lone follower appeared may be able to know the time when the era changed, and it is even not impossible to get some important information from this.

"Oh, this one."

The professor thought for a while as he walked, and then said: "About a week ago, when I came to this singularity, there was already fog everywhere, but it was much better than now, and there were even a lot of people .”

"Has the magic mist been produced seven days ago...? There are even many survivors? What happened to them?"

"Oh, this one."

"Probably related to those puppets and artificial life forms. They have existed since I came to the singularity, and they have caused a certain degree of panic."

"But then people didn't care about these things anymore, because the monsters became more and more, and the number of humans surviving became less and less."

The professor said very calmly what made Lixiang a little creepy.

"Every day, the number of people in Venice is decreasing... Oh no, it should be said to be sharply decreasing, while the number of monsters is constantly increasing..."

Moriarty glanced at Lixiang.

"Under such an environment, there is no way for a fragile creature like human beings to survive. It is reasonable to be extinct in just seven days."

"........."

Li Xiang was a little speechless. The blind and fragile human beings in Professor Moriarty's calm tone died out like this, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"However, there should still be survivors now, right?"

After a while, Li Xiang looked up at the professor in front of him and asked, "Just like you told me before."

"Well, I can't deny this. No matter how fragile a life is, it can't be killed in just a few days. There will always be some people who can survive. Life is different from mathematics. Fragile And strong, it is a very contradictory form.”

"Oh, by the way, what have you found after walking for so long?"

"Magic reaction..."

Li Xiang lowered his head and glanced at a stone brick on the side of the road. Although it was ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people, under the gaze of his magic eyes, there was a trace of magic left behind.

The traces left by the magic power reaction are very strange, as if they were footprints crawled by things like millipedes and centipedes.

"It doesn't seem to be human yet."

Lixiang added.

"Crack, click, click, click, click—"

"Hi, Lixiang-kun."

The professor suddenly stood up straight and looked around vigilantly.

"Did you hear something...?"

"What sound..."

"Crack, click, click, boom!!!"

Suddenly, a huge fireball exploded from the street.

…………

…………

PS: On April [-]th, may those who left due to suffering and dedication in this disaster rest in peace.

Chapter 13: The Capricious Demon

"Bang!!!"

The huge explosion brought not only violent flames, but also strong shock waves and high temperatures, which directly blasted Lixiang and the professor out.

Assassin, who was lurking around, quickly transformed into a spirit body and escaped the explosion because the attackers couldn't lock him.

But the professor and Lixiang, who were almost in the center of the explosion, got lucky gradually. With this loud noise, several surrounding houses were swallowed up by the intense flames in the street almost instantly.

"boom----"

Amidst the loud noise, the high-temperature heat wave devoured everything around at this instant, and then quickly disappeared into the cloudy smoke and dust that rose up and mixed with the thick fog.

"Ho—cough cough cough!!!"

After a while, in a large pit that was being poured into seawater, Lixiang's head "clicked" and opened the faceplate of the Ortenaus armor again.

"Hey-Professor, Hey Professor!!! You--"

Because Lixiang detected the violent explosion around him, the Ortenaus armor on Lixiang automatically turned on the combat mode to protect his safety, but now Lixiang has no time to worry about this, he tightly pulled the professor who was blown beyond recognition, Don't dare to let go.

Now there is almost no room for sharp thinking in his mind, and the only thing in his mind is the picture he saw at the moment of the explosion, which is constantly replaying.

What I saw was that the unreliable evil professor in front of me grabbed him and let the professor stand between him and the explosion.

Then the explosion raised a violent fireball right behind him.

"professor!!!"

The blood (magic power) flowing out of the body (sacred base) could not be seen from the old man who fell down in pain, because at the moment of the explosion, the professor who faced the explosion head-on was weaker than the hero. Flesh has been broken.

"what…………"

Li Xiang's eyes widened. At this moment, he was at a loss as to what to do. He didn't know where to lose his calm state of mind every time he fell into a near-death state.

After staying in place for a few seconds, Lixiang suddenly realized that the rune rune that had saved him countless times was attached to Professor Moriarty with great proficiency.

At the same time, Li Xiang also quickly checked the current situation of the professor.

...The body's spiritual base was damaged in a large area...the magic power response began to decrease...the spiritual core...the spiritual core was damaged.

But even so, it is absolutely impossible to give up. Lixiang's fingers gathered magic power on the professor's chest, outlined the outline of the repaired rune [Lngwuz (Ingwartz)], and then merged into the professor's spiritual core , to prevent the professor's spirit foundation from collapsing further.

'Then... it's just a matter of infusing mana and repairing the runes—'

Li Xiang, who forced himself to calm down, quickly began to treat other wounds on the professor's body, but just as he was about to do it, he felt an unknown magical reaction appearing beside him.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the purple curly-haired man holding long scissors.

"Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee, how tenacious you are, didn't you get blown to death by Little Murphy's Mr. Tick?!"

Seeing that Lixiang had already seen him, the disgusting lunatic couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot without the slightest sense of tension and crisis.

The violent explosion just now and the dense fog were temporarily dispelled, and in a short period of time, the surrounding visibility suddenly rose to a level.

"Mae F. S. To!!!"

Lixiang's eyes widened, and a kind of anger that arose in his heart after being shamelessly plotted against was naturally revealed.

"Did you do it?!"

"Oh, you know my [real name]? You really deserve to be the [Master] who saves humanity—"
