The path to the dirty inkstone in the mahogany tree.
The four nodded and sat down on the large sofa next to them.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Lin Yifang hesitated for a moment before speaking: "By the way, could you please tell me what exactly is going on? The boss just said it was a fake instance, so why are you..."
"Why do you do this?"
The Conqueror King lit a cigarette, his face full of vicissitudes, and said, "This dungeon was a mistake, or rather, a farce. I didn't even know it. It could have been finished in less than a day. Why did you have to drag it out until now?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
In the original story, Waver, the Conqueror King's master, a tall student with short black hair and a height of 157cm, said helplessly, "This matter is too long to explain."
"The instances you're currently being transported to are basically from anime or related movies you've watched, right?"
"Correct."
Sora answered, and then exclaimed in shock, "You all actually know that you're characters from anime?!"
She knew that some people in the academy used various methods to take anime characters out of their original world and make them independent beings.
Then those independent entities that have broken free will realize that they are characters in a certain anime.
But do all the characters in this entire world know that they are residents of an anime?
What's going on? Could this be the fake copy Li Wei was talking about?
Sensing that someone might have misunderstood something, Weber shook his head and said, "Your idea is wrong."
"Ok?"
"Forget it, this is something that the two of you shouldn't know. It's a small secret in the cycle of reincarnation."
"Although quite a few people know about it, it's not the right time for you two to know yet. I guess your advisors will tell you when you go out for your internships as fourth-year students."
Seeing that Waver was about to lose control of his tongue, Kirei Kotomine quickly stopped him.
"Oh."
Lin Yifang scratched his head, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Kong Se was immediately indignant and pointed at Li Wei, "So you mean he's qualified to know?"
Kirei Kotomine looked at Sora with a strange expression. "Do you think... if it weren't for him, we would have gone to such lengths to get you out of here so quickly?"
"Forehead……"
The void remained silent.
"To put it simply, our world doesn't want to go through any more turmoil."
"Things were alright before the big battle, but now most of our key members haven't fully recovered from their injuries. For example, Aika has been in a deep sleep. If it weren't for..."
At this point, Kirei Kotomine abruptly stopped and changed the subject:
"We had already spoken to the vice dean, and he promised us that he would not send any more students to us for a long time to come."
"We just don't know why. We guess that the academy might be short of copies, which is why they had no choice but to come here."
"What you see is actually a modified world. It was Gudako, Aika, Arcueid, and the Jewel King who worked together to delay your entry into the instance and hastily modified this place."
"And then, well, since it was Gudako's idea, it turned out like this. If Ryougi Shiki hadn't strongly stopped her from indulging in further perverse pleasures, who knows what kind of mess this place would have become."
"Of course, because of their combined strength, you will never know how much time has actually passed."
Lin Yifang and Kong Se seemed to understand something, yet also seemed not to understand at all, but regardless, nodding was the right thing to do.
Didn't you hear what they were saying?
Gudako, Aika, Arcueid, Ryougi Shiki, and others—in other words, this is basically the entire Type-Moon world, and almost all the powerful figures are here.
What kind of monsters live in the Type-Moon universe?!
Lin Yifang and Kong Se didn't want to think about who in other worlds could contend with or defeat these people. They only knew that they absolutely couldn't win!
So, nodding is the right thing to do.
Rin Tohsaka complained, "We originally thought that with your strength, you shouldn't be able to cause too much damage. We figured that this dungeon would be manageable, but who knew that this monster would appear!"
As she spoke, Rin Tohsaka pointed at Li Wei and continued, "Being a freak is one thing, but he could have won in the blink of an eye, yet he insisted on dragging it out!"
"Humph!"
"Forehead!?"
Kongse and Lin asked, puzzled.
"What does it mean?"
"Don't you know?"
Rin Tohsaka asked in surprise, "It's his class, hbooker, that's hbooker!"
"Huh? What's wrong with this job?" Sora asked, completely confused.
"hbooker is short for highest booker."
"Translated, it means the highest-ranking scholar."
"The highest-ranking scholar?"
"Yes, a sage who possesses all knowledge in the cycle of reincarnation, an omniscient being—to put it bluntly, we can call him—"
"The All-Knowing One."
PS:
PS3: Ugh, this is probably the most unpleasant New Year I've had in years. I was so angry last night that I didn't fall asleep until after 4 a.m., and I was woken up early this morning. Anyway, I wish all my friends a happy Chinese New Year! May your careers be successful, your studies progress, those who failed courses not failing next year, those who didn't fail getting scholarships, and those who don't have girlfriends finding boyfriends this year...
PS2: Let me take a break. I'll probably only be updating once or twice a week for now. I'll try my best to write...
Chapter 125 Type-Moon folks, it's time to test your acting skills!
"The All-Knowing One!?"
Lin Yifang and Kong Se were shocked upon hearing this.
No wonder they say that Li Wei could have finished this instance at lightning speed. Since he is omniscient, it means that there is nothing in this instance that he is unaware of.
This instance is presented in the form of an online game.
In other words, Li Wei is like a reincarnated character in a typical online game novel, but unlike the protagonists in typical online game novels, he doesn't need to gradually take on higher-level tasks due to level restrictions.
Kong Se looked at Li Wei, her expression changing repeatedly.
"As expected... only abnormal individuals can pull off upsets..."
Li Wei smiled coldly: "I've changed my mind. I'm going to win now, but remember to help me get rid of this girl. She's not on my team."
"Really? Great! We'll give you the Holy Grail right now!" Rin Tohsaka exclaimed excitedly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Kongse immediately smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Boss, you are joking. Only someone as extraordinary as you can have such an awesome job."
Li Wei snorted coldly and remained silent.
Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka pouted in disappointment.
Qi Xi calmly corrected Kong Se, "It's not that only someone like Master can have such a position, but rather that only someone with such a position can barely be worthy of Master."
Although Kongse felt that Qixi's boasting was too exaggerated, she understood the principle that one has to bow one's head when under someone's roof, and in order not to be kicked out, she could only quickly agree.
Even the Omniscient class can only serve as your shoe-shiner, so just how awesome are you!
Empty color secret passage.
"By the way, so you mean you have control over this instance?"
Kongse suddenly thought of something.
“Hmm, what you said is pretty much true,” Kirei Kotomine replied.
“In that case…” Kongse scratched his head, a little puzzled, “you could just declare us the winner.”
Thinking of this, Kongse became excited. They must be too stupid to have thought of this problem. Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths to help us win? There could have been a much simpler and more direct way!
Thinking about it this way, Kongse suddenly felt very clever.
And then the next moment...
She noticed that everyone opposite her was looking at her with caring eyes. This feeling of being cared for made her feel like she was the most vulnerable group...
"W-Why are you looking at me like that..." Sora was a little scared.
Rin Tohsaka said with a strange expression, "It's nothing, we just had a question that we've figured out."
"What's your doubt?" Kongse was full of questions.
"It's nothing. You... take care of yourself. Good luck."
"Um... thank you," Kongse replied, still somewhat confused.
“No need,” Rin Tohsaka said, then muttered under her breath, “I hope you don’t die too tragically in the future…”
Zouken Matou shook his head and sighed deeply, saying, "Just tell us what you want. We'll do our best to satisfy you as long as it's within our capabilities."
Li Wei stroked his chin. "You... have absolute control over this instance, right?"
"almost."
"Then, you can create your own character clones at will, right?"
"Well, as long as they're not too strong."
Li Wei clapped his hands and said, "In that case, it's time to test your basic qualities and manners as actors."
"Ok?"
------------
After Li Wei explained everything and Qi Xi and the others left, Rin Tohsaka and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, they finally know how to get Li Wei out of this world.
"Although the process was a bit of a hassle, the result isn't bad, is it?" Rin Tohsaka said.
Kiritsugu Emiya said calmly, "It's not just not bad, it's already the best possible outcome."
"What's a little price to pay if it can prevent the worst from happening?"
"Have you forgotten what Aika said?"
Ai Ge had been sleeping and recuperating, but just before Qi Xi was about to be teleported there, Ai Ge and the other powerful individuals who were also healing were suddenly awakened.
This surprised everyone else, who all asked what was going on.
They only breathed a slight sigh of relief after Aigo realized that the teleportation power came from the Samsara Academy.
However, it was only a slight relief.
Because of the few people who love songs, they said something:
"The very source of the Type-Moon universe trembled."
This statement implies two things: first, that the source of the Type-Moon world is facing a crisis of depletion; second, that... there is an existence that threatens the entire world, which is about to descend or has already descended upon the Type-Moon world.
If they ruled out the first possibility, then only the second possibility remains.
This is why they didn't consult the vice dean, but instead chose to transform this world to provide a training ground for the academy.
After all, there aren't many suitable dungeons for monsters like this, so they naturally understand the academy's difficulties. Besides, with Ai Ge and the others there, things won't be too bad.
And it wasn't until... the moment Li Wei was summoned that the entire Type-Moon world's origin began to tremble, which terrified them.
They really wanted to run over and grab the old man right away, shaking him to pieces, and ask his mother what her mindset was in passing that thing over.
Damn it!
If it weren't for the fact that one of them was connected to the origin of the world, they wouldn't even know that such an existence had come, because they simply couldn't sense it!
The reason why the source was trembling like this was because it sensed from Li Wei the aura of other world sources being destroyed or plundered.
It seems... there are more than one or two.
