Tsukahara thought about it for a while, and then understood what he was talking about. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Carl's Intelligence ...... Now it seems that it is too detailed......

Especially for the Master's action record...... That's just down to the point where every action of each person, including a lot of psychological analysis, is done very closely. Among them, the most rigorous should be the information of the man named Emiya Kiritsugu.

When Karl first came here, he asked Tsukahara to carefully read this person's information on the plane, so he still has an impression. Now that I think about it, it's true that the details are a bit too much. If it's a resume, that's it, but even how he hid himself during the Holy Grail War, the location of the stronghold, and the actions of the woman named Maiya Kuyu, etc., are all recorded in it...... It seems that Emiya Kiritsugu has been known to him from the beginning and has been observed by him......

But there is a contradiction in this way, that is, the actions of Emiya Kiritsugu*---- even the other masters don't know, how did he know? Why did Karl know the details of the Holy Grail War sixty years ago? There is obviously a serious contradiction in this......

Thinking of this, Tsukahara Mingshi's face couldn't help but show a serious look. Abner smiled and said to himself: That's it. There are too many contradictions in Carl, as long as he picks it out a little, he can make Tsukahara Mingshi recognize it clearly. As long as he can understand how dangerous Carl is, then he will also understand that he is actually just being used.

However, this is only the first step.

Seeing his serious expression, Abner immediately continued.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's how Karl described it when you summoned the Heroic Spirits, right? The spiritual veins are most active in the [sub-time]. ”

“……”

Tsukahara still has a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude.

"Sub-hour refers to the 2-hour period between 23:00 and 1:00 at night, and positive hour refers to what we call zero o'clock. This data is completely correct, at zero o'clock, the dragon vein is most active. However, there is a problem at stake here. Tsukahara, you're Japanese, maybe you haven't noticed. Because both Japan and China use Chinese characters, Zi Shi is a very easy concept for you who are familiar with China in anime and comics. So...... For Winster, who was born in Europe, why would he use such an oriental word to describe time? ”

“！！！”

It was as if a thunderbolt exploded in the face of Tsukahara Mingshi.

Yes, yes......

If he is Chinese, or Japanese, this is very likely, if he is Chinese, then naturally there is no objection. But......

He, he's a German magician, right? Why, why does a German use such a Chinese word?

Because Tsukahara can understand it, he subconsciously equates it to zero, so he doesn't feel that something is wrong, but when he is reminded by Abner, it is completely different.

Over-understanding of the Holy Grail War, and this wonderful slip of the tongue......

"And then there's the subtlety of his attitude towards you. Your original plan was for you to call Saber, and he summoned the Archer, and then fought with each other, right? So, why does he want you to follow along, even when your original plans have been interrupted? ”

"Because! Because...... Because he needs the power of Lohia! ”

Tsukahara Mingshi didn't hold back and blurted out.

"Oh, okay. I accept this reason. The fact that there was no response to the previous polygraph technique shows that what you said was indeed true. So here comes the question again...... If you just want the Archer's cooperation, wouldn't it be good for him to just cut off your hand and take the Archer over? ”

"This?!"

"You might find this bloody and upset Archer, so wouldn't it be good for you to overdo the spell to Karl? Then the two of you exchange Heroic Spirits, you take the caster to continue producing weapons, and he sends the Archer to fight, and if the Arhcer doesn't obey, you can use the Command Charm to force her to obey his orders. Think about it, Tsukahara Mingshi, you haven't been useful once since the beginning of the war, right? So why would he still allow you to stay on the battlefield? Haven't you noticed yet? His actions are full of this inexplicable logic...... And the conclusions of these logics all point to one point. ”

Speaking of this, Abner deliberately paused for a moment, obviously noticing that Tsukahara Mingshi had a panicked face, looking at his appearance, Abner believed that he had guessed. So, with a wave of his hand, his fingers pointed straight at the tip of Tsukahara Mingshi's nose.

"That's you. Tsukahara-san. If his target is not archer, but you, then it's easy to understand. ”

"But why! Does it matter to me?! ”

Tsukahara asked rhetorically with a frown, and it could be seen that he didn't think much about it and just subconsciously wanted to refute Abner's conclusion, so he casually found a point and attacked the past. After all, Abner is a lecturer, and he doesn't know how much deeper than him, he smiled indifferently and said, "Of course I don't know what you mean, after all, this is Carl's mood." But...... You have to understand that his target should be you. ”

"But, but, it doesn't make sense! At first, I might have chosen not to come with him! Then he shouldn't have said anything in the first place, asking me to make the Heroic Spirit kill himself and then go back, shouldn't he be begging me to let me come with him? ”

"To others, Carl may do that, but to you, he doesn't. Because ......"

Abner's expression suddenly became cold, and the final topic he wanted to talk about finally came.

"Because you won't turn him down. If he begs you, you may not go, but if he doesn't ask you, you will definitely follow. It's not just your personality that determines it...... There is another important reason...... Tsukahara, have you heard, the spirit wedge? ”

"What's that?"

Seeing him differently, Abner patiently explained to him.

The wedge, which is often used in carpentry, is a triangular sharp piece of wood, which is smashed into the small gaps of the wooden handicraft to achieve the effect of reinforcement.

This concept, when applied to magic, is something like mind control. Not so straightforward, though. After all, the role of the wedge is not [decisive], but only "consolidating", "strengthening", "deepening", and so on.

Yes, the spiritual wedge, something like that. It cannot exist on its own, it must be attached to some mental state. For example, for example, the emotion of [Rage], most people will want him to calm down, but for some special occasions, for example, if a warrior wants to use anger to trigger the potential of the body, he can drive a mental wedge into his brain, and when he has a [Rage] emotion, this wedge attached to the rage emotion will repeatedly stir this emotion, so that the rage will be more and more superimposed, until the user's rage reaches the predetermined flashpoint of the wedge.

In other words, the wedge is different from ordinary mental operations, because it is not a virtual stuff to the brain, but when the brain makes a [specific emotional response], it repeatedly instigates the emotion, making it so intense that it is uncontrollable.

"You mean, I ......"

"Yes. If I'm not mistaken...... Your wedge is ...... point of not being able to sit idly by and ignore those in need. If Carl asks for your help, it may not be possible that this condition will not be triggered. However, when he doesn't ask you, your mind will be tormented by this wedge over and over again, agitated, and finally make the wrong decision. ”

(No, it's not...... ）

Tsukahara Mingshi objected in his heart.

(Not [for those in difficulty]...... But...... To the [isolated] ...... ）

That makes sense. Why did you rescue Mina Tosaka, the enemy? The answer is simple, because Carl gave himself a mental wedge, and as soon as he saw this isolated girl, this emotion was stirred......

Tsukahara Mingshi hated his position for not being firm, and clearly said that he would not listen to Abner, and the result was ...... Still involuntarily, I sensed Carl's problem.

However, Tsukahara Mingshi's remorse, in the eyes of Abner, means something else.

(The condition for the spirit wedge to be effective is that it must be touched by the holder of a certain emotion.) Other words...... ）

Yes, even without that wedge, Tsukahara Meishi might still have gone to save Mina.

The wedge just played an effect of adding fuel to the fire, and the person who lit the fire was still Tsukahara Mingshi. This is what makes Abner particularly emotional. Now there are too few people who are willing to take the initiative to rescue others for the sake of others!

Because of this, EBNER didn't want his students to be ruined by a magician of unknown origin like Carl. It hurts, but he has to keep talking.

"Tsukahara-san, there is one more, crucial detail...... That is, about your personal problems. Would you like to listen? ”

Silent.

Tsukahara was silent, he lowered his head, his black hair blocking his face, and his expression was not visible.

I don't know how long it took, but his voice was very lost, faint, with a sadness that could not be concealed.

"You...... Go ahead. ”

He's ready, ready to come to his senses.

Alberner nodded heavily and continued.

"One more thing, it's about your past."

"Hmm."

"I don't know anything about Japan, so I can only ask questions from my common sense. Tsukahara, did you mention that there is no one else in your family and you need to perform magic tricks alone in order to survive. ”

"Yes."

Tsukahara should arrive.

"So...... Generally speaking, will it be so downcast? ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"Generally speaking, even if you're not really interested in magic, you usually see someone performing on the street, and you will subconsciously go to watch it, right? Why is there such a down-and-out occasion? ”

"Huh?"

"Generally speaking, this kind of almost begging posture will attract some attention, if nothing else, at least the police will come, right? Moreover, even if you lose your parents, don't you have any relatives? Okay, even if you don't have any relatives, will the welfare and security system of Japanese society really sit back and watch an ordinary student like you live on the streets, but no one shush you for warmth? I haven't been to Japan, but, with my common sense, I think it's impossible. At the very least, if the government doesn't come, the police will come, and they will ask you why you are living on the streets, and if they don't give you great help, they will do a little bit, why, do you feel like you can't survive? ”

“……”

This is also a question that Tsukahara has never considered.

"I remember, you started magic around two years ago."

"It's been almost three years."

"Well, the fall of the Winster family was two years ago, don't you think, there really is no connection at all? And then...... I must mention that in your memory...... A lock. It takes part of your memory and blocks it. ”

“！！ You, you mean, really? ”

"I have no need to deceive you. Carl is no match for me even if he joins forces with Archer, and I've decided to send you back to London, so you don't have to worry about me using you to hurt Carl. Then there is no need for me to deceive you. ”

“…… Other words...... Carla ......"

"It's not certain...... But, personally, I don't think it has anything to do with the person who pretended to be Carl. From the point of view that he is so obsessed with you, I can only feel that he has a plan. ”

“…………”

The conversation between the two reached an impasse.

Carl Winster's position changed in an instant.

Tsukahara has always regarded him as his benefactor.

However, after hearing Abner's analysis, this position was reversed in an instant......

It is very likely that the tragedy of Tsukahara Meishi was caused by Carl......

Indeed...... If you don't be taken seriously, you can make others avoid you by applying a magic trick to avoid others, and you can also use magic to make the people next to you indifferent to you...... Also, maybe even the death of his parents......

No, no, no......

Tsukahara quickly dispelled this terrible speculation, fearful because of the unknown, alienated because of suspicion, he understood this feeling very well...... However, no matter how hard he tried not to think about it, this terrible thought just couldn't stop burrowing into his mind...... He couldn't take it......

Abner could only watch him in such pain, but could not say anything.

It must be uncomfortable. The benefactor he trusts is actually the one who has put him in a catastrophe......

He could only hope that he would transcend this pain and ...... Nirvana was reborn.
