Shirou's pupils reflected the light of the computer screen as his fingers worked on the keyboard.
Shirou doesn't know how to operate a computer. No matter which world he comes from, he doesn't have much experience in operating a computer.
Therefore, after attacking Himeko, most of the information he found on the laptop was relatively general and vague concepts.
The data stored in the memory card given by Himeko is much more detailed but at the same time, much more complicated.
Different from the computers used by civilians, the computer systems supporting hardware, and software used by members of the Fire Moths are all specially customized. These computers also have a dedicated satellite channel.
Before looking up the information on this memory card, Shirou spent about an entire afternoon just learning how to navigate Fire Moth's internal system.
Fortunately, Shirou is not short on time, especially compared to the night when he attacked the fifth team.
He has a lot of study time and patience.
In the beginning, Elysia was full of excitement to learn but it didn't take long before mental fatigue accumulated in her body until she fell into uncontrollable drowsiness.
After the initial sense of novelty and anticipation faded, the computer interface composed of cold text and icons immediately became extremely boring.
So as soon as night fell, Elysia fell asleep on the bed under Shirou's persuasion.
The night gradually deepened, and the time on the wall clock had already passed 2 am. The city lights outside the windows were brightly lit, and the honking of vehicles pierced the silent night from time to time.
As a Servant, Shirou's body would not be too tired because of physical exertion, but long-term thinking can still make him feel tired.
He stood up, walked to the minibar in the center of the living room, and opened the small refrigerator below.
After glancing inside, Shirou took out an iced canned coffee and took a sip.
The bitter taste filled his whole mouth in an instant. Feeling the mellow and cold bitter taste for the first time Shirou almost spit it out.
He braced himself and swallowed the liquid flowing in his mouth. Lowering his throat, his entire face scrunched up.
'Why would anyone like to drink this kind of thing?'
But it is a good choice to use bitterness to refresh yourself. After Shirou took a sip of iced coffee, the drowsiness in his mind suddenly disappeared.
Shirou couldn't help sighing.
He walked to the door of the master bedroom, quietly opened the door, glanced at Elysia sleeping on the bed, and quietly closed the door.
After several hours of careful study, the concept of "Honkai" formed a general outline in his mind.
Shirou still doesn't understand the names created by Fire Moth because the information was restricted
But at least, for things such as "Honkai Energy", "Zombies", and "Honkai Beast", he has learned much more than what he saw on Himeko's laptop.
First of all, Honkai is a natural phenomenon with an unknown cause, and its specific manifestations are also elusive.
Sometimes they are earthquakes, sometimes typhoons, sometimes comet impacts, and even something mysterious and magical.
But different from ordinary natural phenomena, when these horrible natural disasters break out, energy will be produced called "Honkai Energy".
This energy will corrode everything it touches, and according to the resistance of the creatures themselves, it will cause various horrific consequences.
For example, if an ordinary person contacts Honkai, they will be eroded and wiped out. Even if they have Honkai resistance they will be turned into a Zombie with only the instinct to slaughter left because their Honkai resistance wasn't at that "critical point"
Low-level Zombies will become similar to ones shown in movies, high-level zombies would retain the fighting skills they learned when they were humans and even awaken supernatural powers.
Only human beings whose resistance is at that "critical point" can borrow the power brought by the Honkai to a certain extent while keeping their human consciousness.
According to the data created by Fire Moth, when Honkai breaks out, 1 in 3 humans will become a Zombie. While those who can reach that "critical point" is 1 in 10,000
The phenomenon of "Honkai" has been around since the birth of human civilization and since "Honkai" has been discovered, a small group of people who have experienced and survived it have been creating a false world without Honkai for the common people.
In the past thousands of years, this small group of people have been guarding the secret of "Honkai" while obtaining the world little by little. They continue to cultivate the abilities of future generations and send them to the battlefield against Honkai
When this piece of information was revealed, Shirou frowned instinctively.
They spread the lie that Honkai doesn't exist to the general public but also marked Shirou as a reserve who may join Fire Moth in the future.
The information displayed was full of filth and deceit that can be seen at a glance.
How can Shirou see that this piece of information is a lie?
Because all the combat materials Himeko recorded after joining Fire Moth and the information given by Fire Moth were mixed.
Shirou read the mission reports of those combat materials...
In almost every battle against the Honkai, more than half of the fighters died, and most of those fighters recruited by Fire Moth were full of 'Chosen One'.
Those warriors who were secretly selected by Fire Moth were originally just ordinary people.
No wonder Himeko didn't force himself to join Fire Moth at that time.
Perhaps, even as the captain of the fifth team, that woman had already begun to feel disappointed with Fire Moth.
Shirou slumped his body on the back of the seat and gently kneaded his head.
He had already read all the materials he could see, and it would take some time to digest materials.
'Speaking of which... This room was originally prepared for the members of Fire Moth. It seems that there is a screen directly linked to the satellite surveillance and city surveillance systems, right?'
When he first walked into the room, he had no idea what the huge screen hanging on the wall was used for. Now after reading these materials, Shirou finally understood its purpose.
Although from the outside, the room he was in was just a luxurious guest room, from a functional point of view, it could be regarded as a strategic location.
Not only is it located in the most luxurious and central commercial circle, but even the height of the building is undoubtedly second to none among all the buildings.
In addition, a screen that can monitor all the details of the entire city in real-time.
As long as an abnormal situation is discovered, the fighters of Fire Moths sitting in this room can accurately arrive at the location of the incident quickly and carry out effective strikes against the Honkai.
Suddenly, the scene outside the windows darkened.
'I don't know if this is the time when the night light turns off.'
The colored LEDs all over the surface of the high-rise buildings are extinguished one by one.
At the same time, the night sky was covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, and the moon exuding clear silver light was covered.
As a few thunderbolts flashed across the sky, the low rumbling sound was mixed with the blowing wind. The window rattled uncomfortably.
Shirou frowned slightly, turned off the computer, and suddenly turned his gaze towards the screen attached to the wall.
'Is something is happening?'
The computer that was closed began to flicker at an extremely fast speed
His breathing became rapid. Although it was groundless, Shirou had an extremely bad premonition when he saw the blood-red beams of the indicator lights flashing non-stop.
He walked to the screen on the wall and turned it on.
After a moment of flickering, the screen turned on with all the monitoring windows disconnected.
After seeing all this, Shirou no longer hesitated, he let his body enter the spiritual state instantly and then jumped out of the luxurious room.
