Under normal circumstances, even if his body disappeared, it would be impossible for Shirou Emiya's soul to turn into data and travel through it.
Because these data carry not just souls, but leptons.
Even a magician needs to have an artificial nerve called a magic circuit, as well as the ability to clearly digitize his own essence and accurately determine the location of his "soul" before he can "respiritize" his mind, body, and soul and send them into the computer world as an avatar.
And Shirou Emiya is just a second-rate magician who can't even use strengthening magic to strengthen his body.
There was no way he could understand and use this magic to transform himself into a spirit and travel through the computer world.
However, when Shirou Emiya came into contact with the Holy Grail, his weakened body, having suffered such horrific damage, was simply unable to resist the attack of the Holy Grail.
The moment he stepped into the Holy Grail, the body of Shirou Emiya had died, but his indomitable soul awakened and rushed towards the deepest part step by step.
He has a will in his heart that even the Holy Grail cannot corrupt.
To use the words of a magician, at this moment, Emiya Shirou had measured his own soul and confirmed the existence of his soul without even realizing it.
The time inside the Holy Grail is not fixed. Perhaps only a few seconds have passed in the outside world, but several hours or even longer may have passed inside the Holy Grail.
After staying in the Holy Grail for a long time, constantly resisting the erosion of the Holy Grail, and under the continuous healing of Avalon, Shirou Emiya's soul gradually underwent some changes.
After coming into contact with a woman named Justissa Rizleich von Einzbern, he made a wish to restore all the damage caused by this Holy Grail War.
However, Shirou Emiya himself did not expect, or perhaps completely forgot, that he was actually one of the people who died in this Holy Grail War.
At that moment, the only thought in his mind was to save those who had mistakenly entered the Holy Grail War.
At the moment he made the wish, Shirou Emiya was like a heroic spirit that came into flesh by touching the core of the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail used Shirou Emiya's soul as a template and created a perfect body to match it.
This is also the reason why Shirou Emiya's broken right arm later appeared on his body intact, because Shirou Emiya's soul was still intact.
However, the Holy Grail did not do anything else besides this, and the damage to Shirou Emiya's soul still existed and continued to affect him.
It is precisely because of these reasons that even though Shirou Emiya cannot "respiritize" his soul like those magicians, his soul also has the ability to travel through such data.
Perhaps, the biggest doubt is that Avalon, which should have remained in his body, remained in his soul. Even when Shirou Emiya was inside the Holy Grail before, Avalon was slowly playing its role.
"That is--!"
A dazzling light instantly filled Emiya Shirou's eyes, capturing all his attention.
It is like it has completed a certain location transfer, or arrived at a certain place where these data need to go.
Shirou Emiya gradually felt that his body, no, it should be said that his soul had become real.
At this moment, he could feel the actual ground under his feet. Even with his eyes closed, Shirou Emiya could still feel the warm sunlight.
After feeling that his spirit seemed to have stabilized, Emiya Shirou slowly opened his eyes.
"This is, Private Hogunhara Academy?"
What appeared in front of him was a school gate that felt familiar yet unfamiliar to Emiya Shirou.
Shirou Emiya felt as if he was back in Fuyuki City, whether it was the gate that was extremely similar to the one of the Private Hogunhara Academy, or the surrounding scenes that were almost exactly the same as in Fuyuki City.
But if you look closely, you can see that this school gate is actually quite different from the private Hogunhara Academy.
Of course, what told Shirou Emiya the most intuitively were the students walking around the school wearing uniforms that were completely different from his own.
Although they are similar, they are not the same school.
The first thing Shirou Emiya thought of was that this might be a parallel world, just like the last Holy Grail War he participated in.
But why is this world in some kind of data?
Moreover, although these students seemed to be talking about something here and there, Shirou Emiya did not see any spirituality in their eyes.
Too many doubts filled Emiya Shirou's mind at this moment, but every time he arrived in a new world, there were always countless things he didn't understand.
Now Shirou Emiya can only be thankful that his soul is still there, and perhaps there is still a chance of returning alive.
If he had not directly experienced the feeling of physical collapse before, he would probably really think that this was a real world when standing here, and would not even think that he was in a state of soul.
After all, the feeling of standing here is too real.
Shirou Emiya stretched out his hand slightly and aimed it at the sun floating in the sky, regardless of the pain that had been tormenting his body or the touch in this world.
It was hard for Emiya Shirou to believe that his body had collapsed.
But faced with the current situation, he could only take one step at a time, as he did not have the ability to reshape his body.
No matter how bad the situation he is facing now, he can only accept it. After all, things have happened and there is no point in regretting it.
"Let's go find Toosaka first--!"
Shirou Emiya stood there and thought for a while, then decided to look for the only magician he was familiar with and knew - Toosaka Rin.
Although there may not be a Toosaka Rin in this school, it is necessary to take action instead of just staying there and doing nothing.
Shirou Emiya is not the kind of person who would stand still and wait for the information about this world to come to him automatically.
The sun is still high in the sky. If Toosaka Rin existed in this world, she should still be active in school.
Thinking of this, Emiya Shirou immediately walked towards the academy.
At this moment, this academy also welcomed a person who should not exist in this spirit world.
Chapter 526 The Girl Who Should Have Disappeared
"who am I?"
A light and gentle voice came from a void of space.
That was the voice of a girl, a girl with long purple hair that went past her knees, a red ribbon tied on the left side of her head, and a white coat over her school uniform.
She stood in the exact center of the entire void.
Endless darkness completely enveloped her, making her feel lonely, confused and scared.
Countless emotions crept into her eyes at this moment.
But the girl did not move at all, as if she had already accepted this outcome, allowing the endless darkness to crawl up her body and devour her.
She couldn't help but bite her lips slightly. She wanted to resist, but didn't know how.
After all, this is just an inner world that she shouldn't have.
No matter what you do inside, your body outside will gradually disappear as if it is swallowed by the darkness.
No one will remember themselves.
"Perhaps, it would be nice to just disappear like this--!"
With a slight cry in her voice, the fear in the girl's eyes became more and more intense. Who could accept that she would disappear like this?
Moreover, not even half a day had passed since she had acquired the ability to observe this world.
The moment she gained emotion, she knew in her heart that she would eventually disappear.
As an AI, she should not be able to have such emotions. The emergence of emotions instantly put her into a state of overload, and she could not even maintain her own stability.
She knew what her ending would be, and she wanted to accept it because it was not something she should have.
But she instinctively couldn't accept it——
"Someone's coming! Someone's coming!"
At this moment, the girl's consciousness seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea, and her voice gradually became weaker.
She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't.
Darkness finally and gradually spread over her entire body, and her consciousness gradually began to dissipate.
She wanted to call for help, but her voice could not be heard.
But even if it was transmitted, what would it matter? The girl was just an AI, an AI that was ignored by NPCs, an AI that magicians would not care about, and an AI that had almost no connection with anyone in the entire academy.
No one will lend a helping hand to me.
She could only watch herself sinking slowly into the mud, without any chance of escaping.
The girl couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, her expression revealing despair.
She no longer struggled or resisted. She slowly closed her eyes and accepted the ending that should have been hers.
"cherry--!!!"
What kind of cry was that?
What kind of emotions are contained therein?
It was as anxious as seeing something precious fall to the ground.
It's like he's risking his life to save something important.
But----
Before the girl could react.
This voice, without any obstruction or stagnation, penetrated everything and rang in her ears at the moment when she was about to lose consciousness.
The girl's mind was trembling at this moment. Was it because she could survive? Was it because someone was observing her? Or was it because————.
She didn't know why she felt so many inexplicable emotions the moment she heard this voice.
Who is it——
Who is it——
Who is it——
The heart that had originally stopped beating began to beat violently at this moment.
His eyes also trembled violently at this moment.
"Crack-!"
It was like the sound of something being shattered coming from all around her.
The girl's gem-like purple eyes opened the moment the voice appeared.
It was an arm riddled with countless injuries.
It was a white-haired man with flames burning all over his body.
At this moment, the entire empty and dark space shattered violently like broken glass.
The girl stared at the scene in a daze, looking at the white-haired man standing in front of her with his hand extended to her.
An indescribable emotion burst out from her heart at this moment.
She didn't know how to express her feelings at the moment in words.
The girl used all her strength and slowly stretched out her hand.
I saw the arm filled with endless injuries, without any pause, it grabbed it tightly without hesitation.
As if saving a drowning person, the girl was pulled up by this hand.
The eyes of the girl lying on the hospital bed trembled slightly.
The pure white ceiling slowly appeared in front of her.
She tried to move her body, but at this moment, the people around her didn't seem to notice that she had awakened.
A warm yet slightly rough hand was placed on his forehead.
The girl closed her eyes, which were already half open, again, as if she was feeling the warmth coming from the palm.
Then, a towel carrying a warm scent wiped her face very gently.
Someone is taking good care of you.
"Is this a dream?"
The girl was extremely nervous. She was afraid that the moment she opened her eyes, everything she saw would vanish into nothingness.
Everything that happened was just a dream.
"Are you awake?"
As if he had noticed something, a young but steady voice came from beside the girl.
At this moment, the girl felt that her right hand seemed to be tightly grasping something. When she was struggling internally, her right hand involuntarily exerted force.
She exhaled deeply and slowly opened her eyes.
