Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 372 The Devil's Mystery
[To those who are reading this record, this is my confession recorded using a method I don’t even know.

I have fallen into a deep sleep now. Taking this opportunity, I would like to leave this record - my name is Jie Pai, the demon god Jie Pai, one of the seventy-two demon gods.

No, no, that's not the case!
I was possessed, and I didn't even know it. I no longer knew my own name, but the name Jie Pai lingered in my mind.

I can't remember my original name no matter what, but even so, I still want to leave the information I know.

Seraphix is ​​a facility built to complete a certain experiment. Although it does have the functions of an offshore oil field base, it has a secret magic workshop inside. This is a means to deceive other owners, and also because the conditions required for the experiment can only be met on the seabed.

At this point, I can no longer judge good from evil. To be honest, I can't even correctly grasp the value of human life.

So I just record the facts here -

Today's supplements: Three people aged ■■;
Magic Circuit/Quality: A;

/Amount: C;

Composition: Normal

Lepton transfer suitability: There are several signs;

Due to the load, 5 people were injured and the vehicle was abandoned.

Quickly, replenish the body with aptitude B or above.

The equipment and materials transported from the port contain content that ordinary employees are unknown to. Whether Animusphia's attempt is correct or evil, you can prove it in the future. Now, I just want to raise the possibility of restoring the ever-computerized Seraphix to its original state.

"Don't be so scared, you have been chosen by God."

Jie Pai said this to me that day, a few days after I locked the church door.

"I am from the Jie faction. In your words, I am a high-dimensional intelligence life form. In the world of magic, I am called a demon god.

We lost to you humans. I highly appreciate your behavior because there is a possibility of generating enormous energy in human intellectual activities.

I wish I could expand this possibility, I wish I could effectively use you who have poor qualities, but as you can see, I have lost my body, defeat has taken away my body.

So, although I am very sorry, I wish to claim your body as mine from now on."

Don't be ridiculous, why me, why this body was chosen.

I hope you get out right now, I beg you to do so.

It's so miserable that I even say I'm willing to do it and even prepare a substitute living sacrifice.

"No need. There is not much difference between human bodies. If you just need to hide, this body is enough. Don't worry, my seedbed, I will not erase your consciousness immediately.

Once people know that the Demon Pillar is still alive, someone will definitely show up to deal with me.

I am injured and need to rest now. I need to accumulate strength. It will take time to create my own world.

To do this, I will need to use your personality. I will imitate your human behavior and take control of this facility.

Sooner or later, I will transform this facility into another world and be reborn as a demon god. Then, you will be liberated.

I am different from humans. Pain should be compensated with rewards. When I am reborn, only your life will not be taken away.

Until then, we will be a community. Are you afraid of death? In that case, hide my existence, hide the fact that you are a subordinate of the demon god, and on this basis, turn this facility into hell. "

I beg you to forgive me and please let me go.

I am being taken over by it day by day, and an irreparable demon is about to be born... But this is too regrettable and too sad. In the end, I still hope to take revenge on that demon.

Pray that this record will become an arrow.

If Seraphix completes the digitization, the next project will be "Connection". In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Chaldea, this facility should be transferred to 2030 and then dived into the Mariana Trench.

The deepest trench on earth. When you reach the bottom of the sea, the Jie faction will be reborn.

——I’m finally of no use anymore. When BB is summoned as the new ruler, I’ll be wiped out soon.

I don't have the consciousness left even at the tip of my finger. All I can do now is talk to myself to this extent.

But please believe me, I really did - the owner of this body really did try to save Seraphix.

SE.RA.PH cannot be allowed to reach the bottom of the sea;

That kind of existence cannot be allowed to come into being.

May the devil be cursed and may humanity be saved.

Ahhh—I heard the sound of the sea and the terrible cry of a newborn.

Before that, SE.RA.PH must be stopped before everything is swallowed up by this paradise. 】

"BB was summoned by the demon god and is running SE.RA.PH as a guide?"

Before analyzing whether the Jie faction was possessed by others or was possessed by others, Li Ye glanced at Lilith, who was not far away and had a calm expression.

After Li Ye obtained the follow-up information of the diary and informed Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, only Lilith looked normal.

Combined with the previous reactions, Lilith's understanding of the information here far exceeds that of others.

After noticing Li Ye's gaze, Lilith said, "We were born from BB, so we are naturally subject to several restrictions, the most important of which is [telling the true identity and purpose of SE.RA.PH].

This is a problem that I cannot actively address, and you need to take the initiative to discover it.

But this record is beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that such a record would still be kept. It seems that BB made a serious mistake."

"That demon god in the control room is the body of the Jie faction, right?"

Gawain looked solemn when he learned from Li Ye about the Demon Pillar that once existed in the control room. Even though it was extremely weak, it was the Demon Pillar.

"So, this time, it plans to create its own [base that will not lose] first, and wants to [suppress] Seraphix as a human."

Emiya Alter said: "I don't know where it learned it from, but it knew about the existence of the Moon Holy Grail War in another time and space, and summoned BB.

With BB as a guide, he transformed Seraphix into SE.RA.PH and was reborn without anyone noticing. "

"That's roughly the case, but in this case—"

Tristan looked puzzled and asked: "Then why did she summon us, the foreign servants? I thought this was just BB's bad taste and part of her prank-"

If the purpose was the rebirth of the Jie faction, BB would not have to look for Chaldea. After all, without BB's assistance, Chaldea could not even move to this future time.

"We don't know much about this matter either."

As BB's child, one of the guards, Lilip whispered, "Because my mother's way of thinking is a bit... "

It's still uncontrollable.

"Is it because of imitating SE.RA.PH that the Servant was summoned?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously, "After all, it's modeled after the Moon Holy Grail War, right?"

“It’s a resource.”

Lilith explained: "It's purely because the [Nutritional Value] of Servants is very high. SE.RA.PH looks like a maze, but it is actually an urban engine for [Powerful Calculations].

On the moon, resources can be provided by Mooncell, but this is Earth, and in the deep ocean.

In order to maintain SE.RA.PH, the only way is to absorb the pseudo-spirit particles that form the servants."

"Using us Servants as fuel—"

Tristan frowned and said, "That's really unpleasant."

"Well, Lilith and I both objected..."

Lilyp said with a guilty look: "But I'm sorry, we couldn't stop mother--"

"No need to apologize, Lilyp."

Stopping Lilypu from apologizing for BB, Lilith said, "It was humans who summoned BB, and we are just her byproducts. Besides, it was because of your disobedience to BB that you were put in restraints and I was abandoned. We did not cause any harm to humans.

Although we did encounter attacks from humans at the beginning, those attacks were completely useless and only frightened them.”

"Well, now that we know that this incident was caused by the Demon Pillar, we can't just ignore it."

Gawain said solemnly, "Preventing SE.RA.PH from diving into the seabed, finding the Demon God Jie faction, and defeating them, these two things may be one and the same, but as a servant of Chaldea, I must complete it anyway, for this -"

"We need to defeat BB."

Fujimaru Ritsuka said: "We can't let her continue to do what she wants."

"I'm in favor of taking down BB."

Tristan said, "I will make her regret treating her servants as fuel."

"I will help explore SE.RA.PH."

Emiya Alter said with an indifferent expression: "There are still many areas in the back that have not been explored. I will help."

"Very good, then we are almost unanimous, right?"

Gao Wen then turned his head to look at Li Ye who had been silent all the time and asked, "Li Yeqing, what do you think?"

At this moment, Li Ye seemed not to hear Gao Wen's words and was still immersed in his inner world.

Is it really the Jie faction?

The doubts lingering in his mind never dissipated, and Li Ye could not completely believe the follow-up of the diary.

There was always a sense of disharmony in that diary.

Did the therapist lose his own memory and only have the name Jie Pai left, or did Jie Pai lose all his memories and only have the name Jie Pai left?

But how is it possible.

Jie faction is the Demon Pillar, how could he lose to an unknown psychotherapist.

But——[I can’t trust others, and I only love myself]

Is this the nature of the Jie faction as the Demon Pillar?

There is a sense of disharmony everywhere in the diary.

It seemed as if Li Ye had overlooked something, but he was unable to find out completely now.

If Sherlock Holmes or Da Vinci were here, they would surely be able to discover it, right?
Li Ye, who was deeply aware of his own intellectual shortcomings, kept speeding up his thinking and listing out possibilities one by one.

There is no doubt that the Demon Pillar in the control room is indeed the body of Jie.

After the battle in the Temple of Time, the Demon Pillars were destroyed. Even the few Demon Pillars that escaped had lost the ability to multiply infinitely, making it impossible for the same entity to exist in multiples.

So, did Jie abandon his body and merge with the psychotherapist, thereby summoning BB and achieving SE.RA.PH?
But the current SE.RA.PH exists in the form of a human female. Does that mean she looks like a psychotherapist possessed by Jie?

Before clarifying those doubts, the only question is -

'Who is that therapist?'

Li Ye would not believe that Jie Pai randomly chose a psychotherapist to possess him if he could not find answers to Jie Pai's doubts.

Then start with the therapist.

There is no record of the therapist in the diary; she always describes her suffering in the first person.

This made Li Ye a little confused. Could it be related to Mooncell?

The world is different, but it won't change at all. This is the history of mankind. Unless a huge change occurred in an earlier period, resulting in a branch that could give rise to strange stories, the existence of human history will not disappear, but will live in the present with a different identity. Just like Waver, who calls himself El-Melloi II in several worlds, his experience can change, but his existence will not disappear.

How did the Jie faction know the records of the Holy Grail War on the Moon? If it knew about the existence of BB, Lilith, and even Mooncell.

Seal Seraphix and digitize it, forming SE.RA.PH and falling to the bottom of the sea to carry out the next project [Connection]

So, is it possible that it knows other information about the characters in the Lunar Holy Grail War, or did it just summon BB?

Although the participants of the Moon Holy Grail War are selected from various timelines, the overall timeline is still between the Fifth Holy Grail War and the Sixth Holy Grail War.

Then the era would not be too different from the present. If an existence shines in the Moon Holy Grail War, it will have the same potential in this world and this era.

If it were in this era, I would be able to encounter the same characters as in the Moon Holy Grail War, but their experiences would be different.

And it is based on the premise of women——

Among all beings, the one who can meet the standard of "loving only oneself"——

Could it be her?

Li Ye's brain seemed to be heating up as he bit his nails. The stress of high-speed thinking caused beads of sweat to flow from his forehead.

‘Tsk. ’

After making a preliminary guess, Li Ye decisively put down his hand, and then noticed the surprised look of Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of him.

"Li Ye, what are you doing?"

Shortly after the small meeting ended, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was supposed to go to rest, saw that Li Ye was still thinking, and couldn't help but squat in front of Li Ye out of curiosity, waiting for Li Ye to come back to his senses.

It took more than ten minutes for Li Ye to recover, which surprised Fujimaru Ritsuka.

This was the first time she saw Li Ye using his brain like this.

"Hey, Fujimaru."

Li Ye wiped the sweat off his face with a forced smile and said, "Aren't you going to take a rest?"

"Go now!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka clapped his hands and stood up, smiling broadly, and said, "I just saw that you haven't come to your senses yet, so I'm just curious."

"See you tomorrow then."

Li Ye, who was trying to cool down his brain, smiled and said, "Your health is the most important thing. Have a good rest."

"Ok!"

Without any reluctance, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around and left, returning to his room, leaving Li Ye alone in the church.

At the same time, Lilith and Lilip, who were waiting outside the church, were whispering.

"We'll wait here because humans are very timid."

Lilith patiently explained to Lilip why she didn’t rest in the church, saying, “I can’t rest if I’m under the same roof with the Alterego.

It's ridiculous. At this point, even one or two more people won't help. "

"Lilith is really something. She complains but actually she takes good care of everyone."

Lilyp smiled and said, "If it was the old Lilith, she would have said something like "Don't let weaklings like that enter my sight again" and rushed out!"

"It wasn't before. I really want to rush out now."

Lilith gritted her teeth and said, “But I have learned to understand what people in a weak position are thinking and what they are afraid of.

Although I don’t like those employees, I don’t hate them, because hating the weak is equivalent to hating all of humanity.”

Seeing her sister had such a big change, Lilypu smiled more gently and said, "Lilith is unwilling to do this kind of thing now. It seems that something wonderful must have happened while I was captured.
For example, did she meet a very beautiful Master? Otherwise, Lilith's dislike for humans would not have eased to this extent."

"It's not extraordinary, nor is it wonderful."

Lilith, looking dejected, whispered, "In the end, I couldn't even hold that person's hand, nor could I keep my promise."

That was a memory that Lilith didn't want to recall. In the end, they were only one step away from success.

This time, we must succeed.

"Forget it, let's end this topic here."

Without dwelling on the memories, Lilith said: "It has nothing to do with the present, and it is something that cannot be undone."

"I see. I'm sorry. I'm not very good at choosing topics and I always make Lilith angry."

A little embarrassed, Lilyp whispered, "But can I ask you one more question? Lilith, are your hands a little strange?"

Lilyp stared at Lilith's hands, which were never exposed, as if there was something unseen.

This was inconsistent with her memory.

"What? You found out."

Lilith was a little surprised and said, "Lilip actually noticed this."

"Well, Lilith is my friend after all."

Lilyp smiled and said, "You looked very miserable, so I could tell right away."

"I see. You are so busy that you can actually say such a thing."

Lilith smiled as if relieved and said, “Well, maybe it doesn’t matter now Lilip, I wanted to keep it a secret from you because it would be a burden on you.

I have reflected on myself now. Can you let me rely on you, Lily?"

"Of course, if you can tell me what happened to you and what you want to do, I will be very happy."

As she spoke, Lilith raised her hand and said, "Then close your eyes. There is no time to talk about this now, but we can share our experiences—what I saw, what I couldn't save, and what I...had to do.

I will tell you everything, to you as my sister who was born from the same AI."

The data transmission between AIs was very fast, when Lilip learned everything from Lilith.

A line of clear tears fell.

"Lilyp?! Wait, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Lilip was actually crying, Lilith panicked and asked quickly: "Did I hurt you?"

"No, no, of——"

Lilypu shook her head, suppressing her sobbing voice and said, "This, this kind of thing is too much - Lilith, you, Lilith, you are very..."

"Pathetic! If you dare to say that, I will break up with you, Lilypu."

Lilith said with a fake smile: "I am not in pain at all."

"No, it's sad, but—"

Lilyp laughed: "But the great joy surpasses this sadness -

It's glittering, everything in my memory is shining brightly, and even though this is not my experience, I still feel very proud.

This is so cunning, once this miracle happens, any AI will become fond of humans.

So let me offer you my blessing, Meltryllis, and give you my full support in what you have yet to accomplish."

"Well, thanks, Lilyp."

Lilith also smiled and said, “I am also very happy that you can say that. Please give me more advice, the Alterego of love and hate, Passionlip.

[id_es Composite, Spear of the Palladium], please lend me this power of yours.

This time, the three of us must defeat that devil."

The conversation between the girls was not known to others.

Time passed quickly. When Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were resting, Li Ye was not idle either. He forcibly pulled Arnold out.

Trying to find out the name of the psychotherapist in Seraphix.

But who knew that this guy could only remember the names of people with higher positions than himself, and he was clueless when faced with Li Ye's questions.

Even if Li Ye used magic such as suggestion, he could not find any trace in his memory.

I didn't even remember other people's names subconsciously.

'No, man, you're such a mixed up person?'

Looking at Arnold who was looking for information not far away, Li Ye gritted his teeth with a resentful look. This guy was really a bit outrageous.

"Found it. This is it."

Under Li Ye's high pressure, Arnold finally found the Seraphix map and pieced it together in a hurry. He said, "Look, there is no celestial room at all--"

Arnold, who was about to explain to Li Ye that there was no celestial room, was suddenly choked. Li Ye, who came later, slowly pieced the map together again and then knocked on the hole under the control room.

"what is this?"

“This is—”

Arnold, sweating profusely, subconsciously asked, "Is there really a celestial room?"

Arnold, who had never thoroughly checked the Seraphix map, had never expected that there would be a hole with equivalent facilities under the control room.

It was as if something that had originally existed there had been erased.

Without further questioning Arnold, Li Ye turned around and left after confirming the location.

Although the location of the celestial chamber has been confirmed, the goal of the operation has not changed.

Lilith does have a very high level of intelligence. Since Lilith advocates the elimination of all guards created by BB, this must be accomplished first.

Tread.

The stopped footsteps did not make any sound, and the woman reflected in the pair of light golden dragon eyes was walking towards Li Ye.

"What's the matter with you?"

Li Ye looked at the Seraphix staff member named Mabel and said, "Aren't you going to take a rest?"

Well, actually I haven’t been exercising much, I’ve been resting all the time.”

Mabel smiled and said, "On the contrary, you seem to have never had a rest. Do you want to take a rest?"

"Do not bother me."

Glancing at Mabel, Li Ye continued, "It will be over soon, and everything will be fine then."

"Well, it will be over soon, right?"

Mabel stared at Li Ye's departing figure for a long time without moving, until Arnold, who had recovered from his shock, shouted, "Get out of the way!"

After leaving the church, Li Ye went straight to Lilith and others who were waiting outside the church.

The moment they met, he asked, "Do you want to kill all the Servants or all the Guards?"
