Eighth Crown

- Experiments in the celestial chamber.

In fact, anyone who sees the facility and device in front of them can more or less notice that something is wrong, because the purpose of the experiment itself is very explicit.

A total of 128 cages were evenly distributed on the surrounding walls, each with a height of one person and a silvery white color, each connected by a cable and a furnace-like device in the center.

The style of the casing is somewhat similar to the casing used by Chaldea when the spiritual son was transferred. Its scientific name is called "shielding container", which can cut off the causality and destiny of the people inside and the outside world, and achieve the isolation between inside and outside in a short period of time. to the point where it forms a realm that is not governed by external laws.

The people who are in it have essentially fallen into a situation where life is not life, and death is not death. Although they are alive, they are considered dead in disguise. Even if they are dead, they can be considered alive.

At this moment, among the 128 boxes, each box contained a child no more than ten years old at most.

There were men and women, but without exception, they all fell into a coma. They didn't even breathe, and the chest cavity didn't work, just like they were dead.

"Body batteries, that's what they do."

Emiya looked at the 128 boxes that covered the entire wall, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Don't you think it's strange? Why is there no Master, SE.RA.PH can still summon so many Servants? Where did the magic power come from, and who signed the contract with the Servants?"

"..."

"—!"

Including Fujimaru Rika and the servants, all fell into either shocked or stunned silence.

In fact, they also thought of the Master's question.

No matter which Holy Grail War is, all requires the formation of a combination between the Master and the Servant. The Master summons the Servant, signs a contract with the Servant, and pays the Servant's magic power for actions and battles. This is the normal participation in the Holy Grail War. combination.

But in this SE.RA.PH, there are only 128 Servants fighting in a big melee, not even a single Master can be seen.

The only Master is Tatsuka Fujimaru, whom BB deceived from Chaldea.

Whether it is Tristan or Suzuka Yuzen, they are obviously Servants who were summoned in SE.RA.PH, but they do not have their own masters. They all have to accept the rules of BB as soon as they come out, and then each other A life-and-death existence.

"Although there have been speculations for a long time, do you mean—"

Tristan's face quickly became extremely ugly. He looked at the 128 cages hanging on the surrounding walls with an unbelievable look on his face.

"Yes, they are your masters."

Emiya smiled sarcastically: "And it's not just you, even the last Holy Grail War, they also played the role of masters."

"What's the meaning?"

Tristan frowned and asked Emiya with a sharp gaze.

"I mean very simply."

Emiya sneered, and then said indifferently: "The function of this cage itself is to make those who enter it achieve a state of 'non-life and non-death', even if the Master who seems to have been exhausted and died, will Because of this state, it retains its last vitality, and then continues to be squeezed for its own value.”

In other words, no matter how you die, you can't die.

"After all, they are masters, each of them has a good magic circuit, as long as they are locked in the box, make them lose consciousness, control their magic circuit to squeeze life force to form magic power, and use the state of non-life and non-death, you can squeeze A steady stream of magic."

Magic power is essentially a supernatural energy obtained by transforming life force through a magic circuit.

In essence, due to the limited vitality of the human body, it is impossible for human beings to continuously produce magic power from the body. Once squeezed too much, it will lead to a decline in their own vitality, damage to the magic circuit, disorder of the life system and other problems, and more. What's more, if squeezed at all costs, it may even cause the magician himself to run out of life and run out of oil.

But the magician in the cage couldn't die even if he wanted to.

In other words, even if the continuous pressing will damage the magic circuits of these masters, and their lives will be threatened, but because they cannot die, their vitality will not really end, and they are essentially alive, and then they can continue. Squeeze, and finally formed a steady stream of magic.

In other words, the essence of this enclosure is a permanent human battery.

Just listening to it is creepy enough.

"The door of the celestial body room must not be opened, the forbidden experiments will be restarted, and this computer space will be completely turned into hell."

The information obtained from the recording device appeared inexplicably in the minds of several people at this moment, making them completely silent.

Is this the truth about the celestial chamber?

Did the so-called "hell" mean that?

"This experiment has been frozen, and it has been sealed here as a top secret, but, after SE.RA.PH was blocked and fell into a rampage of the group, a certain person was completely desperate for the status quo, and under extreme madness, He opened the door of the celestial chamber at all costs, and restarted this forbidden experiment."

Emiya continued coldly: "So, the computerization of SE.RA.PH has a steady stream of energy, and it is not impossible to summon Servants to fight the Holy Grail War. After that, these children have become useless. Running out of batteries, summoning Servants again and again, and engaging in countless Holy Grail Wars."

"Wait, what's going on?"

Suzuka Yuzen suddenly interrupted his statement, "Just now, what is the countless number of Holy Grail Wars? Isn't the Holy Grail War only us this time?"

"of course not."

Wei Gong glanced at her like an idiot, "Don't forget, the flow of time here is a hundred times faster than outside, more than four months have passed since the incident, and there have been at least dozens of times here. In the large-scale Holy Grail War, nearly 10,000 Servants fought here."

Those children were continuously squeezed in the cage for decades, and the Holy Grail War naturally lasted for decades.

For decades, even the Holy Grail War, no matter how difficult and frustrating it is, no matter how difficult it is to decide the winner, has been enough for dozens or hundreds of times.

In total, there are at least nearly 10,000 Servants who have fought here.

Thousands of followers.

Just hearing that number is enough to suffocate.

Such a terrifying force, if it were released to the outside world, would be enough to make the whole world look new, but it was trapped in this SE.RA.PH and had to fight meaninglessly again and again.

"That is without a doubt, absolute, symbolizing evil technology."

Emiya's face showed a strong mockery, not only mocking SE.RA.PH, but also mocking himself, "So before you come, I have cut off the power of these enclosures and devices. , In this way, those batteries that do not know life and death are finally completely dead."

"By the way, Chaldea also used the same technique as here."

Then, from his mouth, information that Fujimaru Rika couldn't believe no matter what.
