One day after the qualifiers ended, a phone call brought Shirou to the hospital in a hurry. The reason is that Erina Nakiri is poisoned!
First of all, it can't be food poisoning. If chefs like Erina Nakiri were given food poisoning, then everyone in the world would have been poisoned to death.
There is no doubt that Erina Nakiri contains biological toxins!
As soon as he opened the door of the ward, he saw Arato Hisako lying next to Erina Nakiri's bed, crying. Alice Nakiri anxiously walked around the room. The oldest Nakiri Senzaemon was sitting on a chair, but the sweat on his forehead proved that he was not in such a peaceful mood at this time.
Erina Nakiri was wearing a ventilator, lying on the hospital bed like a dead person with a purple face.
"What's the answer?"
Shirou asked Yu with a cold face, this situation is not normal no matter how you think about it. It stands to reason that poisonous animals cannot appear within the range of Totsuki, but the current situation of Erina Nakiri clearly indicates that it was injured by some kind of poison.
Arato Hisako cried and told the story of the incident: She and Erina Nakiri were about to try a new dish, but on the way to the cooking room, a centipede monster suddenly popped out.
Both she and Erina Nakiri were knocked unconscious, but when she woke up, she only saw Erina Nakiri with a purple face and a pool of mucus on the ground not far away.
Shirou's first reaction was that Arato Hisako had been mimicked by the zerg.
After all, the possibility of being attacked by zerg and still being human after being comatose is really low. Zerg are not bears, and even the dead are part of their diet.
But according to Arato Hisako's description, another possibility cannot be ruled out - after the Zerg stunned the two of them, it encountered something and was killed.
This "thing" is unlikely to be a knight. After all, Bronze Beetle and Gold Beetle are both at the ZECT headquarters. Steel Dou is still in the laboratory. Daisuke Kazama cannot enter Totsuki at all. He, the boss, knows exactly where Nishiki is.
Yaguruma's mentality has exploded recently. Even Zhabi doesn't want him anymore, and Tianhu is spending time with his sister in Salle again.
So, what exactly is this "thing"?
"Stop talking about this, Emiya. I heard that you have been on the battlefield. Do you have any way to save Erina?"
The hospital has absolutely nothing to do with the poison in Erina Nakiri, and no serum can alleviate this unknown toxin.
"If it turns out to be poisoning, I have a solution!"
Think about it, he Emiya Shirou practiced martial arts at the age of eight and knew a little bit about South Boxing and North Legs. When I was eleven years old, the military tank could stand upright in just one stroke. I have been on countless battlefields and was almost killed once.
Just like this, how dare he not take some anti-virus measures!
He took out a palm-sized box from his pocket, opened it, and found three yellow-orange serums. Do you know where this serum came from?
It was made with Shirou's own blood.
As a ruthless person who can treat Hydra's poison as normal saline, the serum made from Shirou's blood can treat 99% of biological toxins.
Of course, if you are sprayed by the poisonous dragon Bishamon, you should wait for death. That thing is more poisonous than Hydra.
Then, Shirou took out an expensive-looking pistol-type syringe, extracted some serum, and diluted it in the syringe.
This is a necessary process. The serum that can treat Hydra is extremely poisonous. It is also a very powerful thing in itself. If it is not diluted, even if death from poisoning is avoided, death will still occur because the nature of the serum is too violent.
"Why hasn't Erina (the eldest lady) woke up yet?"
Alice Nakiri and Arato Hisako felt that this was over and it seemed a bit hasty, so they put their faces in front of Shirou and asked.
"You two, this is a serum, not a magic medicine. It takes time for the serum to work, and it will also take time for Ms. Nagito to recover!"
While explaining to the two anxious little girls, Shirou glanced at something on the table with the corner of his eye.
It was a pendant-like thing, a green translucent object. If you are an ordinary person, you may not really know what this thing is. But Shirou is different, he knows it!
These are the fragments of Shibuya Meteorite!
It's Progenitor Insect's ID card!
Shirou shifted his gaze to Nakiri Senzaemon, thinking that your old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes is actually a spy sent by the bug?
"Is there anything you can do?" Nakiri Senzaemon asked you helplessly as Shirou looked him over.
"It's not a big deal. I just want to ask if this pendant belongs to Miss Nagi?"
Seeing her granddaughter's gradually improving face, Nakiri Senzaemon breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. He answered Shirou's question very cooperatively.
"This is something her mother gave her. She told her when she was a child that this is a very important thing and cannot be lost."
After all, he is also a veteran in the Magecraft division. Shirou can tell whether Nakiri Senzaemon is lying at a glance. This old man was telling the truth, that is to say, without his knowledge, Erina Nakiri's mother Nagi Tenko was being mimicked by Progenitor Insect. And this incident has happened for at least ten years.
At noon, people in the ward need to eat. Alice Nakiri also invited Shirou to have dinner with them, but Shirou refused.
"My serum is very effective, but it is also dangerous. In other words, she has not passed the critical period yet. I need to confirm Miss Nagi's condition here to prevent accidents."
Shirou didn't say anything yet. Erina Nakiri should be the first living creature to use this serum. Before this, only Servant used this thing.
This Servant is not a parallel import like Afu, but a ruthless character with high attributes like Xiao Mo and Jeanne. Even Okita Souji, that sick man, is supported by powerful magic power.
But Erina Nakiri is different. Even if she is Progenitor Insect, her physical fitness cannot resist something like Hydra.
Theoretically speaking, the highly toxic serum of Hydra is as violent as the highly toxic serum of Hydra. And Hydra is so poisonous that even gods can easily release it.
But these were not the reasons for Shirou to stay alone. After using his ability to sense vision to confirm that the others had gone to have lunch, Shirou said calmly:
"Come out, don't hide in front of me."
"Haha, you are just as scary as the rumors say. Emiya Shirou, or I should call you the protagonist of the urban legend, the 'Reaper'."
A woman wearing a black veil came out and looked at Shirou confidently. The name of this appearance is Reina Mamiya, which means it is a person imitated by Zerg.
This zerg, Reina Mamiya, is as alien as Sasword. Not to mention anything else, they are all insects, but she is an arthropod (fiddler crab). This combination doesn't look good no matter how you look at it.
Note: Scorpions also belong to arthropods, while other knights are insects.
