019 Celsus
"Proof that is because of my eyes, these eyes made of human life and full of sin?"
With a miserable smile, he stretched out his right hand, and the thumb, index finger, and middle finger were claw-shaped, and placed them in front of his eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I really didn't think that the Philosopher's Stone, which I had been looking for and studying, was so close to me, in my eyes. ”
"I didn't expect that the raw material of the Philosopher's Stone was actually a person's soul, and I don't know how many lives I had to sacrifice in order to refine the Philosopher's Stone. ”
"Such a philosopher's stone, such eyes, don't... The voice fell, and the right hand of the mourning was aimed at his eyes, ready to dig.
But how could the snow-white figure let the mourner do this? The door of truth quietly opened a gap, and the black shadow wrapped his hands around the back of the mourner, directly killing the mourner's action.
"The sinful eyes of human life?"
The snow-white figure was amazed, "This is the highest level of alchemy, a miracle, an eye made of the Philosopher's Stone, how can you use such a despicable word to describe it?"
"Am I wrong with what I said?" said Musuke, who was haunted by the black shadow, trying to break free from the black shadow, "Aren't these eyes trained by Sato Toshisada to collect human lives full of sins?"
The snow-white figure tilted its head, as if in contemplation, "It seems to make sense for you to say this, although I would prefer to call it the Eye of Truth, but this is your eye, you like." ”
"After all, the souls of the people who do this kind of thing, and the sins on their bodies are already in your eyes. ”
The mourner's body stiffened, and his movements to break free from the black shadow also froze.
"The souls of the sinners?"
The mourner muttered, repeating the phrase repeatedly, and the events that had happened before flashed in front of him like a slideshow.
- Patriarch Grandpa, where are you going?
-- You're going on a mission.
- Why are you going to go even Cang Yu and Xiao Xiu? All of you have gone, isn't it just me who is left at home?
- Yes, when we are away, the safety of the Sato family is all counting on you, mourning.
- Well, I see, when you're not at home, I'll take care of my family.
......
"You mean, the people of the Sato clan are..."
The snow-white figure just sat on the side, his head facing him, and he didn't say a word.
“... Refined into the Philosopher's Stone, in my eyes?"
The snow-white figure let out a light laugh that was full of pleasure, as if revealing that the matter was a prank that he found particularly funny.
"Before the age of nine, you were obviously still an ignorant little child, but during the period after the Sato clan was 'exterminated', you grew up overnight, behaved in the world, and acted in a mature and stable manner, not inferior to an adult. ”
"And in terms of learning, whether it's the jerky blacksmithing or the whimsical alchemy in this world, you can understand and accept it directly without any obstacles. ”
"Do you really think you're a once-in-a-century or thousand-year-old genius?" the snow-white figure paused, then added mockingly, "You're just a little kid with a lot of luck." ”
To the surprise of the snow-white humanoid, after learning the news, the mourner was not as depressed and dissatisfied as before, he suddenly calmed down, and the madness on his face was also a little lessened.
"Why?"
After half a ring, the mourner spat out these three words clearly.
"I told you. The snow-white humanoid said in a cold tone, "Because the only one who can get Sato Toshisada's unreserved trust is you, Sato Toshisada's son, Sato Fusuke." ”
Fragments of the Truthgate's memories.
The forging technique of the Sato family, the alchemy system that suddenly appeared.
The Philosopher's Stone, the Artificial Man, the Seven Deadly Sins, the Seven Virtues...
The last meeting with Duanmu at Sato's house.
Everything that happened in the past seems to have an invisible thread, stringing together everything that seems to be unrelated.
The strange but somewhat familiar name resurfaced in the heart of the mourners, and then blurted out.
"Celsus?"
The snow-white figure applauded, "Congratulations on your correct answer, but unfortunately there are no extra points." ”
Fu Suke, who had sorted out his thoughts, ignored the snow-white humanoid who turned on the mocking aura on the side, and said to himself: "I always thought that after my father separated from Duanmu and returned to Konoha to inherit the Sato clan, he didn't get a lot of information about Celsus, but now it seems that after returning to Konoha separately, my father has already begun to plan and start to lay out for Celsus..."
"The extermination of the Sato family, the forging technique, the alchemy system, the gate of truth... And my eyes made of the Philosopher's Stone, were they all left behind to deal with Celsus in the future?" Musuke reached out and gently covered his right eye, "Why did my father put everything on me, doing this... Is it worth it?"
The snow-white figure directly lay down on the ground and said lazily: "Even if you are his son, he will not be stupid enough to press everything on you." ”
Musuke looked at the snow-white figure suspiciously, "If you don't entrust everything to me and put everything on me, what other plans does my father have?"
The snow-white figure lying on the ground kicked the door of truth without a single foot, "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that he really left a trick." ”
"Want to know?"
Musuke nodded without hesitation, "Yes." ”
The snow-white figure lying on the ground got up from the ground and sneered, "Since you want to, then let's settle the score." ”
Looking at the puzzled expression on Fu Zhu's face, the mood of the snow-white figure seemed to be a little better, and his tone became cheerful, "Do you really think that after refining the human body and seeing the Gate of Truth, you don't need to pay any price?"
The pitch-black door of truth suddenly appeared behind Musuke, the door suddenly opened, and giant eyes appeared in the door of truth, looking at the blonde boy in front of him with the cold gaze that did not have the slightest human touch.
"It's time to settle your tolls, Sato Fusuke. ”
The voice of the snow-white humanoid was like a demon's hell, his body was cold, he wanted to resist, but he didn't know how to resist, he vaguely sensed that something seemed to have changed in his body, an indescribable feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, if you want to describe exactly what is going on, it is probably ...
It's as if the body is hollowed out.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, and the mourning helped looked back blankly, and the door of truth had closed at some point.
"That's right. Fu Zhu clapped his hands and suddenly realized, "My eyes are made of the Philosopher's Stone, any tolls, tolls, should be settled with the Philosopher's Stone, right?"
"You must have just taken the Philosopher's Stone from my eyes as a toll, so I felt chills all over my body, right?"
Regarding the reasoned and well-founded analysis of the mourning help, the snow-white figure directly scoffed, "Don't you really notice that something is missing from yourself." ”
Fu Zhu looked at his whole body suspiciously, all the organs in his body were not missing, and the functions of all organs were also functioning normally.
Except for a chill in his body just now, he didn't feel any other discomfort.
What's missing?
Facing Musuke's puzzled eyes, the snow-white figure laughed and stretched out his hand to point behind Musuke, "Look over there." ”
Musuke looked back, dumbfounded.
At some point, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes appeared behind him, and the young man noticed the gaze that Musuke had cast at him, and smiled a little awkwardly.
"I didn't expect our first meeting to be on such an occasion, Sato Fusuke. The blonde young man's smile was gentle, and he looked harmless to humans and animals.
"Who are you?" The one who can appear at the door of truth must not be an idle person, and Fu Zhu does not believe that this young man is really as harmless to humans and animals as his appearance shows.
The blonde youth opened his mouth, and was about to speak when several black tentacles appeared behind him and tied him up.
Sure enough, it was just as Sato Tokisada expected. The snow-white figure walked over to the mourner's side, his tone cold to the bone.
"I've got you, Celsus. ”
