[Alienated Alice strengthened her body to survive, but it was a patchwork product. ]

[Since she had no way to deal with the pain and terror, Alice mustered up her courage, or while she was still conscious, to ask for help, and appeared in front of the Masters who stayed in the third floor, but to the Masters, she was just a monster that suddenly appeared. ]

[The Masters mistakenly thought Alice was an offensive program and attacked. ]

[Alice kept crying out in self-defense. ]

[When she came to her senses, she had killed them all and absorbed them as parts needed for survival. ]

[In the end, Alice, who had completely turned into a monster, kept wandering around the empty third floor where everyone had been killed. ]

[Alienated Alice could not even hear the sound of nursery rhymes. ]

[Unable to make human sounds. I don't even know who I am or why I am alive. 】

[She just drags her scissor-shaped legs and makes mournful footsteps. 】

[She also says——]

["Don't leave, don't leave me."]

["I've become like this, you won't recognize me."]

["But I'll always wait for you, wait for you, wait for you..."]

"【Tousaka Rin】: So pitiful..."

"【Kotomine Kirei】: This, really, makes people happy!"

"【Weber】: This is all, Tokiomi's fault!/Funny."

"【Tousaka Tokiomi】: Okay, it's all my fault, I'll take the blame."

[On the screen. 】

[Fujimaru Shirou and the other two pass through the city gate again and walk into the long corridor through "310". 】

【“We must defeat it.” Fujimaru Shirou said. 】

【“Hmm, I was going to say the same thing.” 】

【“Based on the current situation, that monster must be the Servant of the Lord of the Layers. The Masters who stayed in the third layer should have all been eaten by it.” 】

【The three of them walked along the ever-expanding passage, and in every corner, there were graffiti with the meaning of “must find me”. 】

【“This monster not only eats people, but also keeps performing shows.” Nero said softly. 】

【“If you regard life as a play, every day’s efforts and accumulation are rehearsals. In order not to make mistakes in important scenes and important shows, replaying is impossible. Even if you can get on a similar stage, it can’t be exactly the same.” 】

【Tousaka Rin turned her head: “This metaphor is really confusing.” 】

【“Really?” Nero pouted. 】

[“However, can we say that this is a replay? What happens here is not a loop, but a retry. The memories before the restart are accumulated.”]

[Fujimaru Shirou nodded: “The memories are indeed preserved.”]

【Tosaka Rin said seriously: "The enemy is probably the same. They will come more aggressively next time."】

【Nero sighed: "How should we deal with this? If it is reset after defeating it, it will never end."】

【"It would be fine if it never ends." Tosaka Rin said: "Anyway, if it is a Servant, there should be a Master. Let's start from the beginning and investigate this floor again."】

【Fujimaru Shirou and others explore the city, looking for the Master. 】

【The traces of the dreams of the Masters whose names are unknown are left in various places. 】

【Fujimaru Shirou felt the significance of the traces of the Masters' lives that he did not notice when he first met them. 】

【Even when facing a monster with an unknown body, some people did not run away for their own wishes. And me? I have no wishes, only hopeless anger.

【Fujimaru Shirou once again realized that his purpose was unknown. 】

[I have no wishes, but I have immense hatred. With this alone, I can climb to the sky...]

[At this time, the screen changed and returned to the first time the three of them came here.]

["I like ghosts very much. After all, we magicians are similar beings, which is different from Dead Face."]

["Dead Face and electronic ghosts are two different beings."]

["If you want to position Dead Face, it is similar to zombies. It is driven by negative emotions. From a digital perspective, it is a 0-like existence. It cannot give birth to anything, but just keeps hating the living."]

[Fujimaru Shirou asked cautiously: "...Um, how did Dead Face come into being?"]

["Probably, it dies once, and then starts again through hatred? After all, it is dead. People."]

["But there seem to be individual differences, those who are clearly alive but too zombie-like, those who are alive but dead at the same time, those who are dead but wandering around, those who are dead but alive at the same time, no matter which side, once they become like that, they are finished, and cannot return to their original state, and can only wander around in the same place and at the same time."]

[Following the passage to the atrium, Fujimaru Shirou squinted his eyes due to the strong light...]

[The past conversation on the screen revealed Dead.Face, and then the scene changed again, returning to 999 years ago. 】

"【Holmes】: So that's how it is."

"【Da Vinci】: I almost understand it."

"【Andersen】: I understand it too! It's such a sad fairy tale."

"【Weber】: What do you understand?"

"【Shakespeare】: Dead.Face is a dead person, and dead people don't want to climb up."

"【Shakespeare】: Dead.Face just "want to stay in that time period forever, and Fujimaru Shirou has the idea of ​​moving up because he has not completely become Dead.Face."

"【Shakespeare】: Just as Lani worried before, once the electric mask is no longer peeled off, Fujimaru Shirou will become a wandering dead man."

【On the screen, 999 years ago. 】

【Fujimaru Shirou in the past meets Alice in the courtyard. 】

【Alice is reading a fairy tale. 】

【"You like reading books?" asked Fujimaru Shirou in the past. 】

【"Of course." Facing Fujimaru Shirou who talked to her, Alice smiled and said: "Before my big brother came, only books were my friends, because only books would treat me gently." 】

【"But aren't most fairy tales cruel? They are all sad stories." Fujimaru Shirou in the past said so. 】

【"I don't care about that, because if something sad happens, just turn to the first page of the story." Alice said this girlish thought with a smug look on her face. 】

【"Really." Fujimaru Shirou could only smile bitterly at this naive answer. 】

【"Although I'm not very good at it, I'll read it to you." 】

【Alice said happily: "Yes!" 】

【Fujimaru Shirou in the past began to read the story to Alice. 】

【He kept telling the story until the end. 】(To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

[“Then they lived happily together...”]

[“It’s a good ending.” Alice tilted her head: “Is this the story? But, it’s so happy.”]

[Fujimaru Shirou slowly asked: “Why are you here?”]

[Alice began to tell her past. Before she died, she lost her parents in the war and stayed in the hospital. In fact, this was a research institute disguised as a hospital, which was connected with Moon and ce11, so Alice was used as an experimental subject. ]

[She died in a state full of painful memories. When she came to her senses, she had become an electronic ghost wandering around SE.RA.PH. ]

[Fujimaru Shirou B expressed sympathy for Alice’s past. ]

[“Why did my brother go up there?” Alice suddenly asked. 】

【Fujimaru Shirou's eyes froze, he hesitated for a while, and answered embarrassedly, but there was no sound, only his mouth could be seen moving. 】

【After that, the two played hide-and-seek again. The past Fujimaru Shirou played the "ghost", Alice was responsible for hiding, Fujimaru Shirou covered his eyes and began to count, and Alice ran away happily. 】

【That is, Fujimaru Shirou counted. 】[]

【"How long do you plan to hide?" Nili Yuri suddenly appeared. 】

【Nili's voice was like a splash of cold water, Fujimaru Shirou stopped counting and turned to look at Nili Yuri. 】

["Your opponent is that little girl, right? You are both Masters, so one of you must kill the other!" Nili Yuli scolded. ]

[Mu Ran. ]

[The screen returns to the present again. ]

[After passing through the garden of the maze and arriving at the main hall of the main city, Fujimaru Shirou, Saber, and Toosaka Rin successfully reunited after completing their respective explorations. 】

[Nero pouted as soon as he saw Fujimaru Shirou: "Player! You're wandering around alone again!"]

[Tousaka Rin also looked at Fujimaru Shirou with an expression that said something was wrong with you..0]

[Fujimaru Shirou relaxed his expression as if he wanted to explain to Saber, and spoke calmly and seriously...]

["Saber, you've participated in the Holy Grail War before, right?"]

["Hmm? Umm, we won the third battle without any pressure, too." Saber puffed out her chest with pride. 】

["Then, can you tell me, has anyone ascended to the upper level without killing the opponent?"]

[Saber asked in surprise, "What?"]

["Hmm, yes."]

[Tohsaka Rin was also surprised, "Really?!"]

["However, it is very rare that the opponent gives up the decisive battle. In this case, the opponent will win without fighting, and the party that gives up fighting..." Just as Nero was about to say what would happen, the cry of a monster suddenly came from the main city. 】

[The three immediately entered the battle state. 】

[Saber materialized the sword and stood in front, while Tohsaka Rin and Fujimaru Shirou prepared to chant the command. 】

["There is no point in fighting it. We must find the Master!" Tohsaka Rin shouted anxiously. 】

[The monster made a piercing cry that shook the sky. 】

["You go!" Tohsaka Rin chanted the command and blocked the monster. 】

【Fujimaru Shirou and Saber Nero immediately ran to search for the Master. 】

【From the main hall of the main city to the second floor, and then to the third floor, they explored places that had not been checked before. 】

【Finally, they found a door that looked like it was locked, but there was no key. 】

【“Never mind, let’s force the door.” Just as Sabe was about to use force, the monster smashed the corridor and chased after them. 】

【Ahhhhhh! 】

【The monster screamed loudly, and in an instant, all the objects on the monster turned into razors and attacked Fujimaru Shirou. 】

【“Player!” 】

【Because she was not beside Fujimaru Shirou, Saber could not arrive in time - and therefore, she was exposed and suffered fatal injuries. 】

【Tousaka Rin stood up for Fujimaru Shirou, and blood immediately splattered in the air. 】

[That is, Fujimaru Shirou is about to be beheaded and killed, and Fujimaru Shirou's Command Seal has been used up one stroke - at this last second, the screen turns dark. 】

[999 years ago. 】

["You saidYou want to save that girl? "Niri Yuri's voice sounded, her tone was piercing.】

["...Okay. Then I'll show you the truth. The real appearance of that girl that she has never shown you."]

[Then, the past Fujimaru Shirou was brought by Niri Yuri to a locked room numbered "04" on the top floor of the main building. 】

[As the door was opened, the interior of the room changed from 4.3 to a ward. 】

[Alice was lying on the bed in a state worse than death, maintaining her life. 】

[Surprisingly, this was the scene before Alice's death, and also the "original appearance" of Alice as a ghost. 】

[The next second, Niri Yuri, who was brought by Fujimaru Shirou, turned into Alice wearing a black dress, which was completely opposite to the previous white dress Alice, just like Alter. 】

【“I am Alice, Alice’s me, Alice’s Alice.” Alice Alter walked to the bedside. 】

【“What, what’s going on?” Fujimaru Shirou asked in confusion. 】

【“I am the dream that Alice had, the me in the mirror.” Alice Alter took Alice’s hand on the bed, Alice’s small hand was covered with dense and horrible bloodstains: “You call it a Servant, what you saw in the courtyard is not the real Alice, because you see, Alice can’t move, right? It’s just that I dream for Alice every day.”】

【“Alice can’t do anything, hide and seek, ghost catching, reading scripts... and can’t fight.”】

【“Alice will be left here alone.”】

【“There is no saying whether she can be saved, big brother.”】

【“Because Alice is already dead.”】

【“The dead cannot be redeemed, Alice is already an object that cannot be saved.”】

【Finally, Alice Alter said something. 】

【“The so-called fairy tale is not the hope of every day, but the last light to ease the despair of every day.”】.
