Chapter 43: Caught in the Demon (I)
After following Artoria and meeting Caster Gildere, the only one Zhou Yuan hasn't seen is the Assassin.
The name is equivalent to its holy relic, and the appearance of the Fourth Holy Grail War is Hassan of Baekchan, who is said to be schizophrenic.
Originally, Zhou Yuan felt that this kind of person was given by the conquering king alone without even seeing him...... Well, the group is wiped out...... There was no need for a heroic spirit, but after seeing Caster Guildley, Zhou Yuan suddenly felt that it was necessary to meet him.
After all, there was a big surprise here at Caster.
"Then again, there should be a clone of Hassan here...... But it's a bit disgusting to have a job skill of breath blocking.,I know there's someone but I just can't find it.。 ”
Zhou Yuan sighed while muttering, and then sent a message to Jian Tong Yanye, telling him to pay attention to the situation on the side of the assassin who might not have died yet, and then went to rest.
There's not much to focus on on the first night, after all, it's just the beginning. And Zhou Yuan, who took off his armor, turned into an ordinary young man, wandering aimlessly through the streets of Dongmu City.
Compared with the technology that has been invaded by the technology of the Zhou Yuan World ten years later, and the difference gradient is quite large everywhere, Dongmu City ten years ago still looks quite retro. Although there are also technologies such as cars and computers, it is not the steel city that Zhou Yuan usually sees, giving people a familiar atmosphere.
Zhou Yuan sighed. He suddenly felt a little homesick, thinking that the world had not changed from the previous home. At that time, a family of three sat together......
It's been a year now.
"Hey, be careful to suppress your emotions," Kazan's disgruntled voice said, "If you always do this, the evil of this world will run wild." No matter what the emotion, try to keep it as little as possible. ”
“…… I don't even have the qualifications to be sentimental......"
Zhou Yuan sighed while holding his head with his hands on his head, and walked in the direction he liked.
Then, on the way, I saw Ryunosuke Yuyu. The perverted master of the caster was leading a child in one direction at this time, and finally passed by Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan acted as if he didn't see it, so he let this murderous maniac walk past him, and then walked forward slowly.
Zhou Yuan knew very well what kind of fate that child would get. According to the time, these children should be the ones who were made into "human furniture" alive, but Zhou Yuan couldn't make a move, and it was impossible to even arouse emotions a little, so he could only continue to hypnotize himself and let himself forget about this matter as soon as possible.
A single glance from Jill can make the world deviate, and if Zhou Yuan makes a move here, he will almost immediately guide the world to the world line.
And once the world line is closed, it will be over. His own world is in a state where countless parallel spaces converge, and the world line is gradually constricted, which means the destruction of the entire world.
"Damn ......"
Even though Zhou Yuan suppressed his emotions no matter how much he suppressed, the evil of this world in the ghost hands still spread a little upward. And the advantage of the counting meter in the ghost hand that was finally saved up has also dropped by half.
With the decline of the counting table, Zhou Yuan's mood finally calmed down as if he was being forced.
Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to use the Holy Grail to save the world, so he didn't care about the gains and losses of a dozen people, Zhou Yuan was still scoffing at his idea at the beginning, but now, Zhou Yuan had to do the same thing as Emiya Kiritsugu.
Emiya Kiritsugu is just to increase the success rate of obtaining the Holy Grail, and Zhou Yuan must not make a move! Once Zhou Yuan makes a move, the whole world will immediately slide into the abyss, so Zhou Yuan has more reasons than Emiya Kiritsugu.
"It's ironic...... Until now, I can finally understand a little bit of Emiya Kiritsugu's feelings," Zhou Yuan sighed faintly, "Forget it...... I'm sorry for the mood swings, Kazan. Let's go back today, and don't go anywhere else. ”
"It's long overdue," Kazan's voice seemed a little weaker, "and it's too late to realize your mistakes." ”
"Hmm."
Zhou Yuan replied with his head down.
A child is being held by the hand by a psychopathic murderer and is about to be taken to kill, and you are more than capable of stopping him. In this case, stopping him is the right thing in most people's minds. But...... Zhou Yuan could only silently watch everything in front of him, and he couldn't even generate emotions; And in the end, this behavior is also grouped in the correct column.
"You're emotionally unstable again."
Kazan reminded again.
"Ah...... I know," Zhou Yuan had to lie on the bed in a small hotel for 5oo yen a night, try to empty his brain as much as possible, and try not to think about anything, "I will try." ”
However, doubts were planted in Zhou Yuan's heart, but Zhou Yuan didn't think about it for the time being.
What is right and what is wrong?
This night, Zhou Yuan didn't sleep well. Because the mental image world has been polluted by black mud, the dream that has not appeared for a long time has reappeared.
The children who had been made into human furniture, tortured but still alive, turned into evil ghosts and cried to Zhou Yuan, asking Zhou Yuan why he didn't save them.
Thanks to Zhou Yuan's determination, a lot of cold sweat still broke out on his forehead after he got up the next morning.
Fortunately, the emotions generated in the dream did not affect the body, but Zhou Yuan's spirit was obviously much haggard.
It's not even as good as before the break.
"You have been affected by the evils of this world...... Even if you make up a reason, find a way to get out of it. Otherwise, you may not make it to the end of the Holy Grail War. ”
Kazan said.
"Really......"
Zhou Yuan only smiled bitterly. Now, it seems that there is no other way, and soon, Zhou Yuan took out a helmet from the bracelet and put it on his head.
This thing was originally used for interrogation, which could give people a great degree of hints, but now Zhou Yuan used this thing on himself.
Although this has a lot of hidden dangers in the future, I can't take care of the hidden dangers now.
Then, Zhou Yuan turned on the switch of the helmet.
"Kazan, please."
"There is a right and wrong side of everything, and if you are doing the right thing, there is no need to blame yourself for it. The individual is not important compared to the world. ”
"There is a right and wrong side of things...... What I did was the right thing to do...... There is no need to blame yourself for this...... Compared to the world...... The individual is not important......"
