Eighth Crown

This is the Mariana Trench in 2030, the sea level is below 8,000 meters, and the time flow rate is 100 times that of the outside, so there is no connection with Chaldea.

The only people who can contact her communication machine are the people inside SE.RA.PH, if you say so——

"Ahem, are you connected? This is the church, I'm Arnold."

A phantom image appeared in front of several people along with the opening of the projection, and Arnold's figure appeared in it, and he coughed lightly.

"After Fujimaru Rika's treatment, my injury has improved a lot, and I will be able to command you to fight. I must have no mature and reliable senior leadership, and your exploration work has been very uneasy, but the next step There is no such thing, just leave it to me at ease!"

Arnold, who appeared in the video, showed a leadership-like style, assured several people, and before waiting for a few people to respond, he issued an order on his own.

"I heard that there are only the last three areas left, right? It's getting closer and closer to SE.RA.PH hitting the bottom of the sea. Now of course we should race against time to solve all problems as soon as possible. Let's work harder today. , explore all the remaining three areas..."

"Hey, Mr. Arnold, considering the distance and workload, we can only explore two areas a day at most."

Fujimaru Tachika sighed without a trace, and then told him the experience and practices of himself and others, "Also, we plan to go to the chest area next to rescue the other Alterego."

SE.RA.PH itself is very large, and there is an extremely long distance between areas, not to mention the remaining three areas are in the armpits, palms and ankles, running from one area to another. It takes almost an hour to go, not to mention the meticulous exploration work in each area.

If it is a small area like the flank and chest, the exploration can be completed in half a day. If it is a wide area like the arms and back, it may take a day to complete the exploration.

Arnold is completely blind, he has no experience in exploring the maze, and it is impossible to make a correct judgment on the current situation.

The remaining three areas on the inside will take at least two days to explore.

Not to mention, they have other things to do today—

"What, to rescue that Alterego?"

Arnold was startled when he heard Fujimaru Rika's statement, "You don't mean the Alterego with terrifying claws, who is standing outside the control room, right? That kind of thing can be solved directly. Rescue what?"

"wrong."

Fujimaru Rika sighed again, "Like Meltrilith, Parsonlip has already broken up with BB, and it's not BB's subordinate at all, the restraint props on Parsonlip are the best. prove."

"As long as we find a way to unlock her restraint and free her from BB's restraint, then she will definitely join us and become our companion."

This is the information that Meltrilith told several people.

She said from the beginning that she and Parsonlip were not used to BB's behavior, and had long since parted ways with BB, and it was precisely because of this that her function as a maze guard was abandoned, and Parsonlip also be forcibly restrained and controlled.

Just like Meltrilith has joined their side now, as long as they can free Parsonlip from their restraints, then she will definitely join their side.

"So it turns out, if you can win that Alterego, it's really a very substantial combat power, and it can also be used to deal with BB, then well, I'll allow you to go to the chest area first and pull that Alterego to our camp as much as possible. Come."

Arnold quickly changed his strategy, agreed with Fujimaru Tachika, and gave instructions to several people to go to the chest area.

"Okay okay."

Fujimaru Rika had the expression that you were right, nodded sincerely, then turned off the watch on her hand quickly, and then showed a headache-like look.

"It's a shame you're willing to listen to his nonsense."

Meltrilith looked at Fujimaru Tachika with a chuckle, "As expected, I still hate that kind of self-righteous guy. If it was me, I wouldn't even be able to answer communications."

Meltrilith still hates human beings at heart. Although it has changed because of the Moon Holy Grail War, she still maintains an attitude of disgust towards this kind of human who cannot even hide her inferiority.

In the past, she has dissolved Arnold now, that is, her temper has improved a lot recently, so she just ignores him.

"Let's go."

Liu Xia ignored Arnold from the beginning to the end, and after the call ended, he greeted the two of them like this, and then walked towards the chest area.

The two girls looked at each other and put Arnold's affairs behind them, followed behind Liu Xia, and walked forward together.

In fact, even Fujimaru Rika didn't take Arnold's words to heart. If his command was correct enough, then she would have listened carefully, but he would only command blindly. People are convinced.

It was only because she was kind-hearted that she did not ignore his speech and reluctantly agreed, but his speech actually only passed through her heart, leaving no impression at all.

…………

Several people skillfully crossed over several areas, and then went down at the neck and came to the depths of the chest area.

Just like the last time he came here, Parsonlip was still standing at the only passage to the control room, wandering slowly.

Although the control room in that passage has no value at all, she is still conscientiously guarding it here, and there is no sign of leaving.

Under the control of the mastermind behind the scenes, she had no way to leave here. Unless the other party gave her an order to leave, she would not be able to resist even a single thought of the other party under the control.

"Just wait a little longer."

Meltrilith looked at Passenlip not far away, and said silently in her heart: "It's fine in a while, as long as it's just a little longer, we will be able to rescue you... This time, we will definitely not lose. !"

"Liuxia-chan, please!"

Fujimaru Tachika took a deep breath, handed over the task of fighting to Liu Xia as usual, and asked him with a serious and serious look.

Liu Xia didn't say a word, just stepped out silently, and the footsteps sounded slowly on the smooth floor.

"AAAaaaaa—"

Parsonlip let out a low moan, which seemed to be full of sincere expectations, then turned his head uncontrollably, looked at Liu Xia, and silently raised the fierce golden giant claw——
