Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka exhale black smoke, Mashu patted her chest, still shaken.
"hiss……"
Fujimaru Ritsuka sat up, looked at her arm, and grimaced, because her arm was covered in charred black marks, caused by her subconsciously using her arm to block the lightning.
A glint of light flashed from her clothes, and green energy began to swirl around her arms.
This is the Master's Mystic Code, which comes with a small healing spell for emergency treatment.
However, after the green healing energy covered her, golden lightning erupted from her arm, dispelling it and giving the girl a shiver.
"It seems that going to that statue to borrow energy was a mistake."
Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a wry smile.
Good news: The immortal who is suspected to be the ultimate boss does not seem to have discovered their theft of faith power.
Bad news: The statue seems to have triggered an automatic counterattack, sending the two of them running around in terror, and now it's even given her a crippling buff.
Mashu tenderly lifted Fujimaru Ritsuka's arm and examined it carefully. "Senpai, we must find a place to treat this. Otherwise, if this continues, your hand will easily become infected with bacteria, leading to a series of complications."
“I know that, but Mashu, we don’t have any money, the hospital definitely won’t let us in.”
Mashu remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Senior, I am a Demi-Servant, and my physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people. If I wish, I can also borrow some money from someone."
Her intention was naturally to rob the rich and help the poor, and she didn't mind doing it for the sake of her predecessors.
"No need, Mashu. Don't forget, besides the hospital, there's actually a free treatment option."
The girl interrupted Mashu's resolve.
"Eh?"
Mashu tilted her head, looking somewhat puzzled.
Along the way, she hadn't heard of any free treatment programs or benefits available here.
"Hehe, look~"
As she spoke, Fujimaru Ritsuka endured the pain and took out a statue pendant from her pocket.
"This is... a statue of the immortal Bai Zhi. Senior, when did you buy it?"
Mashu was full of surprise when she saw what Fujimaru Ritsuka took out.
"You forgot? On the way from the Pacification Commissioner's Office to that giant statue, we passed a point set up by the Ming government, where they were distributing free statues of this immortal to spread faith."
"I just grabbed one."
The disheveled girl shook the iron statue, a smug smile spreading across her face. "I'm pretty clever, aren't I?"
"Senior, is it really possible to pray to this immortal? After all, we were just thinking of stealing her faith. Will we attract lightning again?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head. "From what I've observed, those lightning bolts were probably the statue's self-defense mechanism. Mash, you led me all the way out of that area, and the lightning dissipated."
"And... are there any other options now?"
The girl shook the pendant and said with a smile.
She didn't really want Mashu to rob the rich to help the poor for her sake, because not only was Mashu protecting her, but she also wanted to protect Mashu.
Mashu paused for a moment, then nodded. "Senior, if that doesn't work, I'll still use that method. After all, your life is more important!"
"Don't worry, I don't want to die. If I die, leaving Mashu alone in an empty room would be too cruel."
"Eh!!"
Mashu blushed like a steam engine.
Then, the shield-wielding girl turned her head away, not daring to look at the girl again.
The girl smiled, looked at the pendant, calmed her mind, and began to pray.
She had overheard what the patients were saying when she passed by them before, and repeating it now wasn't difficult for her.
[Ice and snow melt into spring water, withered branches sprout new buds, old scabs fall to dust, decaying soil bursts into bloom, pain becomes mountain mist, and swiftness becomes clouds in the sky...]
Fujimaru Ritsuka recited the mantra in a low voice for a year, forcing herself to imagine old trees sprouting new buds and other scenes that evoked a sense of healing.
"Senior, it's lit up! The pendant is lit up!!"
Before she could finish her thought, she heard Mashu's joyful shout.
She opened her eyes and saw that the small pendant was emitting a golden glow, a glow that was soft and full of a healing feeling.
The sunlight shone on her, and her arm, charred black from resisting the lightning and constantly throbbing with pain, miraculously felt a cool sensation.
This helped her relax a lot, which had been making her feel quite tense.
Seeing this, Mashu also put her hands together, closed her eyes, and sincerely recited the same words that Fujimaru Ritsuka had just recited.
On that small pendant, the golden radiance of faith shone even brighter, and the healing power it fed back became even stronger.
"This Bai Zhi Immortal... truly treats everyone equally."
Looking at her arm, which had improved considerably, Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the method worked; otherwise, they would have really had to play the role of Robin Hood figures.
"Senior, I remember that lady from the Pacification Commissioner's Office said something like that most people don't seem to be able to reach this level."
Mashu shook the pendant, which still radiated a golden glow, quite different from the almost invisible faint light emanating from the female employee of the Pacification Division.
But that female employee had been praying for a long time, while I and my seniors, who were only cramming at the last minute, had such powerful effects.
This is a bit unscientific.
Chapter 801 Foreigner Fireworks
"Mashu, how much energy did we collect before?"
After feeling much better, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked in a low voice.
Although the time spent in contact with the statue was short, some energy should have been collected. This precious energy could be used to contact Chaldea or for other purposes, which would be a good choice.
"Please wait a moment, senior, let me take a look."
Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka was feeling better, Mashu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly summoned her dining table.
Chaldea's summoning ritual is unique, based on the "place where heroes gather," which is the catalyst for Galahad's summoning—the shield made from a round table that Mash holds.
As long as this shield is present, energy can be collected to summon Servants to assist the Master in Lostbelts or Singularities.
“Senior, since we haven’t been in contact for very long… wait, the energy seems to be more than I thought, enough to activate the summoning spell.”
Mash's tone became excited, and her shield emitted a faint blue glow, a sign of abundant energy.
It seems that the power stored in the statue is far greater than they imagined; taking just a little bit was enough to satisfy their needs.
"Hmm... Mashu, have you made contact with the institute?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment and did not let Mash choose to summon a Heroic Spirit. Instead, she asked about contacting Chaldea first.
She still had many doubts about the next steps in this Lostbelt. After all, the enemy's strength seemed to be beyond her imagination. The statue's counterattack alone had given her and Mash a real hard time.
Not to mention what if you were to encounter the true form of that immortal?
Moreover, although this world has entered the Lostbelt, it is not a situation where the path forward is cut off, but rather it may lead to a prosperous and unified world.
Therefore, contacting Chaldea to evacuate is also a viable option.
Mashu nodded, then began adjusting some equipment, attempting to use energy to penetrate the Lostbelt barrier and contact Chaldea.
After a long while, Mashu raised her head and shook her head at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Senior, we can't contact the station at all; the blockade here is too strong."
"It seems we have no choice but to summon Servants. Hopefully, the summoned Servants will bring us some surprises."
Fujimaru Ritsuka made a quick decision: unable to contact Chaldea, she could only hope to summon a Servant for help.
If it's a powerful Caster, they might be able to use spells to contact Chaldea. Even if it's not a Caster but another class, it would still effectively enhance the team's combat strength.
After all, Mash focuses more on defense, and unlike Servants, she can go without food or water and hide beside her Master.
"it is good!"
Mash lowered her shield, and a blue glow shot into the sky.
Fujimaru Ritsuka also stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and began to chant a summoning incantation.
Meanwhile, in the world of Journey to the West, Nezha opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
Just now, he seemed to sense that some unknown place was calling to him with a very weak power, and the source of this calling power...
It seems to belong to the power of Angelica dahurica?
However, it is too weak. Perhaps it is a summons issued by something that Bai Zhi gave to certain destined people.
Originally, since it was Bai Zhi's power and Bai Zhi had given him a second chance at life, he decided to send a wisp of his spirit to that place to help the person who had summoned him.
In any case, it is true that the gods in Heaven often have their disciples or followers descended to the mortal realm, or some people from the Taoist sect, come to invite the gods.
This is a business that they are very familiar with.
But for some reason, when he tried to respond to the summons, the summons was interrupted.
"strangeness……"
Nezha was a little confused. He wanted to ask Bai Zhi, but he also heard that Bai Zhi had been captured by Laozi and taken to Yuanshi Tianzun for a lesson. He was not arrogant enough to dare to break into the Sanqing Temple to find someone.
They could only keep these questions to themselves and wait until Bai Zhi came out of the temple before asking them.
Several other deities, including Yang Jian and the Monkey King, had similar experiences.
Meanwhile, in the Lostbelt, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash watched as a beam of light shot into the sky, followed by a burst of oppressive force that nearly pinned them to the ground.
But the oppressive aura abruptly stopped, and then the light transformed into bursts of colorful energy like fireworks, just like the special effects created in a game to celebrate a festival.
"Could it be that we summoned something strange...?"
Looking at the unprecedented summoning effect, Fujimaru Ritsuka swallowed hard. She knew that some special Servants would have unique effects.
But this world is so different from the world of the past.
She had no idea what kind of thing would be summoned here by using the summoning ritual.
"Hi, you two! Are you the one who summoned me?"
A girl dressed in red with twin tails stepped out of the summoning circle, smiling at Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Uh...hello?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the girl with some uncertainty.
The good news is that she summoned a human; the bad news is that among all these Servants, she doesn't recognize who this newcomer is.
"Oh dear, she's come all this way, little cutie, are you being so distant?"
The girl's face was filled with sorrow.
"Senior, this Servant's class is...Foreigner!!"
Mashu whispered in Fujimaru Ritsuka's ear.
"Foreigner?!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka opened her mouth slightly. The Foreigner class, also known as the Descendant, is a very rare class. Usually, most of them are related to Outer Gods or Cthulhu.
Of course, besides this, the Foreigner class also represents visitors from extraterrestrial civilizations.
Generally speaking, the abilities of the Foreigner class are very powerful.
"I heard that, about class and stuff. But your summoning system is pretty amazing, it actually managed to get the God of Fun to send me here."
The girl walked up to the two of them with a carefree attitude. "I must have had some fun to come here, you two cuties, would you mind telling me about it~"
“Senior, since this young lady was summoned from this Lostbelt, perhaps she knows some information about that Bai Zhi Immortal?”
Mashu thought for a moment and whispered in Fujimaru Ritsuka's ear.
"Wait, you mean... Bai Zhi Immortal?"
Hanabi looked at the two of them with shining eyes, as if she had discovered a new continent.
Although she had never heard of Bai Zhi having any immortal title, this name...
