Chapter 76: The Possibility of Hand-Rubbing Magic Base

In this city's trams, there is a legendary ghost line...

And that line is only likely to appear at night...

A train that is running normally may pass through some stations that should not exist. They may seem normal on the surface, but they are actually not. Once you get off at such a station, you may never come back...

"...and according to my Evil King's True Eye, that ghost line is right here. The earliest explanation came from this line..."

Rikka Takanashi showed off proudly, pointing at the eye with the patch.

What evil king's true eyes? They're just golden colored contact lenses...

Xia Zhi glanced at her eye and knew her background, but he didn't hit her in that regard.

To deal with a girl with middle school syndrome, it's better to follow her settings. She thinks that her eye is the true eye of the evil king and contains some strange power, so let her do as she likes... It's just that I don't have the relevant technology now, otherwise I can provide some technical support.

Artificial Demon Eye...

It must be a popular item in the magic world...

However, the meaning of this sentence is easy to translate. She was going to high school, so she moved in with her sister. Then she looked up the high school she was going to attend, and happened to discover the origin of this urban legend.

"Hey, Xia Zhi, are you saying this is true?"

Rikka Takanashi reached out to poke him, but missed.

"It must have been spread in the past three years, right? If so, then it might be true..." The young man did not jump to conclusions, but thought about it for a while and proposed another possibility.

He has been intentionally collecting intelligence these past two days, but he is mainly collecting information about the meteorite incident in Itomori Town three years ago. He has only collected the most basic information about this city, but he has also heard of this urban legend.

There is no way to confirm yet...

Of course there is no way to disprove it...

Although this world is supposedly more materialistic and physical, with almost no trace of magic or mystery on the planet's surface, it's only almost, and can't be taken too literally.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the fact that time was tied up three years ago was definitely not a purely natural phenomenon.

There must be some unknown laws and forces interfering, leading to such a situation.

Moreover, the geographical location of this city is also somewhat subtle——

It seems to be right on the "border".

That is the boundary between the territory covered by the expansion of the fantasy tree and the part not yet covered by reality. Just as there is competition in life, there are winners and losers in history... Reality and non-reality, official history and strange stories, the most direct conflict occurs at this intersection.

It is understandable if this leads to some confusion and distortion.

After all, wasn’t Xia Zhi, an existence that shouldn’t exist, summoned out from the land of this city?
"It seems that the earliest source was two years ago..." Rikka Takanashi's eyes widened suddenly. For a moment, she immediately became alert. She reached out and grabbed the handrail next to her, while looking around quickly.

"Don't worry, it's just a possibility... and isn't it broad daylight?"

He remained calm when faced with Rikka Takanashi's shock, which was actually a good sign. This showed that although she was still habitually maintaining the setting of a chuunibyou, she was still aware of the challenges she might face in reality.

That’s good…

After all, although he didn't answer the previous question, she should be able to understand that there might really be an unexpected incident...

At this time, the train began to slow down and finally stopped slowly.

Arrived.

Before getting off the train, Xia Zhi looked back at the back of the train.

…………

…………

While Rikka Takanashi was in class, Xia Zhi was also wandering around the campus.

Maintaining his spiritual state, he made full use of his own advantages, moving swiftly around the campus and investigating all routes and transportation points.

Although this was not the Holy Grail War, the situation at this private Ginkgo Academy would not be as bad as that at the private Hogunhara Academy. More than half of the suspects in a war were hiding in a small school...

But to be on the safe side, Xia Zhi still felt it necessary to make preparations.

Isn't there a saying that Stand users always attract each other? In the same way, weirdness always attracts weirdness...

Judging from the current situation, his existence, which should not exist, might be the biggest anomaly in this world.

Not long after.

Amidst the rustling wind, a young man sat on the rooftop, surveying the entire campus from above, taking in all the buildings and routes. He also held up a notebook, occasionally writing and drawing on it. The scene looked quite artistic, like a young artist sketching, capturing the beautiful campus scenery.

It’s a pity that imagination is always beautiful and reality is always cruel. If people knew what he was really doing, no one would think this scene was very meaningful.

——"This route can be used as a candidate for emergency retreat..."

——"We can consider planting some C4 on the playground over there. Maybe it will be effective at a critical moment..."

"The experimental building's location is also quite good. If we use a directional blast at this angle..."

In his mind, Xia Zhi simulated how to arrange the campus as a battlefield so as to give himself a home advantage.

He is not his original body now. Although his intelligence and abilities are the same, he lacks that huge amount of magic power and cannot create something out of nothing. Unless he is willing to give up hope for the future and directly drain the magic power reserves that the Imagination Tree has absorbed from the earth veins in the past three years.

Otherwise, if he doesn't want to use that trump card, he will have to spend more time on other aspects.

So he did this matter very naturally and didn't even feel that there was anything wrong.

All we can say is that there is a reason why the evil intentions of the Holy Grail cannot contaminate him.

If the value of evil deeds could be quantified, what standard should be used to calculate it? Hurting a person, or killing a person? Forget the former, he couldn't even remember the latter.

Including but not limited to using knives, bullets, accidents, stocks, medical treatment... and so on, all kinds of ways.

He did not do it out of kindness, nor did he do it out of evil, but simply because he wanted to do it. In that desperate cycle that made everything meaningless, his actions had long transcended the concepts of good and evil, and were not condemned by his conscience.

"If we want to set up a position... forget it, it's not suitable."

With the experience and vision granted by the advanced "position construction", Xia Zhi could easily determine how to transform the entire school into his own workshop and turn it into his own position.

But in the end, he shook his head and actively rejected such a plan.

This world is not only lacking in magic and mystery...

There is no magic base...

Forcing a magic formation in such an environment would not be of much help and would only hinder oneself, unless—

"Or can I build a base myself?"

Pinching his chin, Xia Zhi suddenly had an idea. Medea had expressed her opinion on this before. She said that a base could be created very quickly. Even with just a base, one could perform some strange magic tricks...

It's just that this foundation will be very unstable and may collapse with changes in any elements - water, air, date, etc.

It is incomparable to the true foundation of magic, that is, the system engraved in the world, because that foundation is formed by engraving theories, knowledge, and concepts familiar to the public in the form of learning or religion.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

At this moment, the door to the rooftop suddenly opened.

A boy rushed up breathlessly and shouted urgently to the figure sitting on the rooftop: "Don't sit there... It's very, very dangerous..."

You can tell that he was very anxious, probably out of breath from rushing all the way up.

"Fuyuta, huh..."

Xia Zhi looked back and tilted his head slightly, recognizing the male class monitor of Group 1, Grade 4 of the high school department. Since Liuhua was assigned to that class, he also got to know some of his classmates.

"You can actually see me?"

"Of course I can see you, what are you talking about... Oh, come down from there, it's too dangerous." Fu Yongtai held his knees and took a few deep breaths. He didn't rush forward, but pretended to be normal and wanted to communicate with the other party. He just moved the documents and passed by, and found something was wrong.

So he asked his best friend to go back and inform the teacher, while he himself ran up without stopping, trying to calm the other person down.

"Well, if you say so—"

Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile, and suddenly wanted to try out an idea he had just come up with.

"Hey! Wait, wait! I'm here to persuade you, what do you want to do!" Fu Yongtai's pupils suddenly shrank, and he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. Then in the next second, he saw the man sitting on the rooftop waving at him and leaning back...

——Just like that, he fell down!!
"...!!"

I'm asking you to come down! I'm not asking you to go down!!
Fu Yongtai felt his brain go blank for a moment, and by the time he reacted, his body had already rushed out spontaneously.

When he reached the edge, he grabbed the railing tightly with great fear and stretched his head to look down.

Nothing at all.
