Although that's what he said, Li Ke and Rias still hurried to the bottom of the cliff. After all, even if they couldn't be saved, they should at least make a grave for them.
However, on their way down, Li Ke noticed something amiss.
"I remember there used to be a fall prevention design here, right?"
Looking at the dismantled platform, Li Ke couldn't help but glance at Rias. If Rias hadn't dismantled the platform, they would have only fallen about twenty meters, not over fifty meters in one go.
Rias guiltily turned her head away.
"Um, because of the expansion, so, I…um..."
Rias was a little embarrassed because this was the spot she had dug.
"Anyway, twenty meters is the same."
Li Ke comforted her and then continued downhill.
Then...
The two of them did indeed see two bodies convulsing.
While a fall of over 50 meters wouldn't exactly turn someone into a bloody pulp, the result was close. The woman with the beautiful legs and wearing a red top had her head split open, her brains and eyes flying out.
The woman in the red ninja outfit that Li Ke recognized wasn't much better off. Her body was unnaturally contorted; it was clear she had tried to adjust her position upon landing to avoid head and heart injuries.
However, her once full and shapely legs were now folded in five places, and she was vomiting copious amounts of blood. She was clearly lifeless, only the continuous bubbling of blood from her throat indicating she wasn't completely dead.
Was there any hope for them?
Li Ke instinctively dismissed any possibility of survival. Their internal organs were clearly shattered; there was no way to save them. Even with all the equipment available, it would only be enough to salvage a mass of mangled flesh.
But—
"Let me see if there's any hope."
Li Ke quickly went to the girl whose head had exploded. Although somewhat disgusted, he still touched her heart.
The heartbeat was weak, but still present, and Li Ke even saw her fingers trembling slightly. Generally speaking, a patient with their brains and eyes flying off like this wasn't worth saving.
He quickly took out the medical kit from his inventory and used it on the girl, whom modern medicine had already sentenced to death.
The next moment, a miraculous thing happened.
As if time had reversed, the girl's shattered brain began to rapidly regenerate, her flying eyes instantly healed, her broken skull returned to normal, and her previously weak heartbeat resumed, performing a medical miracle before Li Ke's eyes.
Then, her lifeless eyes quickly regained their light, her previously lifeless body regained its vitality, and her cute, long, black-stockinged legs began to move.
"Ah!!"
The girl, regaining consciousness, screamed, then quickly covered her head, making sure it was still there—a rather comical sight.
After confirming it was effective, Li Ke immediately turned to the woman in the red ninja outfit and used the medical kit as well.
Similarly, as if time had reversed, her full thighs, which had folded five times, returned to normal, and her lifeless eyes regained their sparkle. Moreover, her condition was much better than the girl who had seemingly lost her mind.
After a moment of bewilderment, the female ninja, whom Li Ke found very familiar, looked at Li Ke, then at Rias standing to the side, and then performed a deeply respectful prostration.
"What amazing power… I am Mai Shiranui of the Shiranui school, and I am extremely grateful for saving my life!"
As her body swayed, her full breasts also swayed, attracting Li Ke's attention. There was no way he could ignore them; they were simply too prominent.
The name the other person uttered made Li Ke's eyes light up, and a key phrase instantly flashed through his mind.
"*Saigado!!!*"
"Ahem."
"The King of Fighters!"
Looking at the woman's slender yet voluptuous figure, Li Ke couldn't help but recall his past fantasies about her. Now that he had actually met her, Li Ke had to admit that this woman was indeed stunning.
"t's nothing. If you didn't have a strong will to survive, I wouldn't have been able to save you in time."
Li Ke spoke calmly. At this moment, the girl who had been constantly checking herself after waking up also spoke.
"Um, although I'm very grateful that you saved me, and I will definitely repay you, could you explain where I am? And why… my brain matter is still outside…"
Li Ke turned his head and finally saw the girl he had first rescued, pointing with a troubled expression at the brain matter and eyes on the ground, looking utterly bewildered.
"Also, my name is Rin Tohsaka"
Fate?
Type-Moon?
Li Ke looked at the girl's attire, beautiful long legs, and signature twin tails. If it were Rin Tohsaka, there wouldn't be any problem.
Just like Rias, after being adapted from anime to live-action, while she was even prettier, she became slightly less distinctive.
However, Li Ke also glanced at what the girl was concerned about: the brains and eyeballs still on the ground.
For a moment, he was speechless.
But if he remembered correctly, Type-Moon magicians were a group of very twisted people, but also very good at using things. These flesh and blood and eyeballs might actually be useful to Rin Tohsaka.
"Hmm... how should I put it? The restoration method I used is somewhat magical, so those things are indeed yours. If you want, you can put them in this."
He took out a glass and handed it to the girl who claimed to be Rin Tohsaka. The girl, somewhat confused by Li Ke's thought process, stood there dumbfounded.
However, after hesitating for a moment, she still put the brain and eyeballs from the ground into the glass jar Li Ke had given her.
After crushing the gem in her hand and using magic to ensure the tissues wouldn't lose their activity for a short time, Rin Tohsaka carefully examined Li Ke and the others.
The red-clad ninja girl had fallen with her; she was probably an ordinary person.
The man who saved her looked strange, and he also had magical energy emanating from him; he must be a very powerful magician.
However, when she looked at Rias, she instinctively took a step back.
Demonic energy, powerful demonic energy—an absolute fantasy species that shouldn't exist in reality!
Looking at the demonic energy and demonic nature emanating from Rias, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but swallow hard, because if the woman before her wanted to, her magic and ritual, which inexplicably only functioned at a tenth of their original power, would be defeated in an instant!
"Where is this?!"
She couldn't help but ask herself.
Mai Shiranui shared the same doubts. She had initially thought she was doomed; such injuries seemed incurable, but as a Ninja she still a bit wary about asking them.
Seeing their wary eyes, Li Ke knew what they were thinking, so he directly explained the rules of this world and the current situation.
But to his surprise, upon hearing that only by having sex with him could she return to her own world, Mai Shiranui, who was scantily clad and portrayed as sexually frustrated in doujinshi, showed a significant change in expression. Rin Tohsaka, on the other hand…
"Hmm, from a rational perspective, this should be a kind of marking, using one's own bodily fluids to transfer magical energy. Establishing a ritual in that way seems quite plausible."
Rin Tohsaka looked at Li Ke seriously.
"But is this really the only way? As the one who saved me, if you want my virginity as payment, it's not impossible, but it's still too bizarre. Can I verify some of the truth before making a decision?"
Because the situation was so strange, Rin Tohsaka subconsciously entered a magician's thought process.
In this mode, the body, personal organs, and the like are all readily used as bargaining chips. In fact, under this mode, she might even feel that having sex with Li Ke was her gain, because she could obtain magical power from him.
Magicians in Type Moon are like that—they look like humans, but in reality, they can't be considered human at all.
However, it must be said that sometimes, this way of thinking is indeed very efficient.
After Rin Tohsaka spoke, Mai Shiranui also spoke up.
"I'm sorry, although I really want to repay your life-saving grace, but this method..."
Despite wearing such lewd clothes, Mai Shiranui couldn't help but blush when she thought about how to leave.
Despite her revealing attire, she still yearned for pure love.
If she were to actually sleep with Li Ke, even just verbally, she wouldn't be able to face Andy, the man she loved.
Yes, the most revealingly dressed Mai Shiranui was a rather traditional woman.
"That's why I said you can do as you please. I won't interfere. As for what you want to do, I can't control that. If you want to leave this way, you can contact me anytime while I'm here, but I won't stay forever. As for repayment... it's ridiculous for us to talk about that. Let's talk about it another time."
Li Ke indicated he didn't care, then turned to look at Rias.
"Then I'll leave them to you, Rias. It's not really convenient for me to handle them."
With that, Li Ke turned and walked towards the Steel Fortress.
"Understood."
Rias, arms crossed, nodded. Having decided to stay for a while, she naturally didn't want too many people causing trouble. So, she began explaining the situation to the two women who had arrived at an inopportune time.
And, moreover, information about Li Ke.
Li Ke, however, wasn't very interested.
Having witnessed the two women's wretched state, no matter how beautiful they were, Li Ke had no interest in them for the time being.
He calmly returned to his room and quietly practiced the techniques Lottie had taught him until nightfall.
But in the dead of night, lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, he felt unbearably lonely. So he opened his control panel.
On the panel were the portraits of all the girls he had been involved with, even Miss Yellow Rose, whom he had paid a month-worth allowance for. The other person is currently lying at home, clearly not at work.
As for the other women…
Tsunade is slumped over the table, looking completely drunk.
Seria is humming a song while cooking; you can even see Lottie's hair next to her picture.
Lux is discussing something with someone, her face covered in grime.
And Erina Nakiri…
She's lost in thought, her eyes filled with sorrow.
"Erina…"
Calling out that name, Li Ke didn't hesitate to choose to transmigrate.
