Chapter 52: What Kind of Adult Do You Want to Be?
If it weren't for that, Emiya Kiritsugu would probably inherit everything from his father and grow up to be an excellent magician. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a disciple of Emiya Kiritsugu's father, Xia Li has been assisting him in his research on the "Immortal Technique", she is only a few years older than Emiya Kiritsugu, but she seems to be very mature.
She has a deep admiration for her teacher's research and knowledge, and hopes to use this power to help people in the world.
However, everything changed because of one of her attempts.
That night, it was the last time Emiya Kiritsugu saw Xia Li's smile.
That night, Nari dragged Emiya Kiritsugu to a beautiful lake.
The sound of crickets continued, the lake reflected the stars, everything was like a dream, by the lake, the girl looked at the boy, and the corners of her mouth curled: "Kiritsu, what kind of adult do you want to be?"
"If you inherit your father's job, how do you want to use it?" she said with a faint smile.
Xia Li swore solemnly: "What Kiritsugu will get in the future will definitely be the power to change the world, that's right, if it is Kiritsugu, it will definitely be able to change the world." I can vouch for it!"
At that time, Emiya Kiritsugu was not sure what his answer was, he was a kind teenager, and he only had a vague idea, he just stubbornly said: "This, this is a secret." ”
Xia Li walked up to Emiya Kiritsugu like an elf, looked at him and said in a gentle voice: "Then I will see with my own eyes what Kiritsugu will do when he grows up......."
"Until then, I'll be with you. ”
"Is that okay?" the girl's voice was very gentle.
The young man's face turned red suddenly, and he was at a loss for what to do, and he said in a bit of a panic: "Whatever it takes...... Whatever you want!"
He turned his back, not daring to open his eyes.
Xia Li grinned lightly, relying on the fact that she was a few years older than Kiritsugu, stood behind him, and then reached out and picked up Kiritsugu, like a child, and hugged him naughtily around a few times.
"Don't, don't!" said this, but Emiya Kiritsugu wished that time could stand still forever.
The girl's smile in the moonlight affected Emiya Kiritsugu's life.
Because the next day, everything changed.
That night, Xia Li secretly took the test potion from Emiya Kiritsugu's father, and she admired the power of immortality, and wanted to test the effect herself, and wanted to see if she could use this power to help others.
The next day, she drank the potion.
That day, when Emiya Kiritsugu saw Xia Li again, Xia Li's white robe was already stained with blood, and she was clutching a hen at that time, biting it like a wild beast, sucking blood irrepressibly.
Her pupils had turned as dark red as blood.
Emiya Kiritsugu's father's experiment failed, and instead of creating a sane vampire, he created a brutal Dead Apostle who could not suppress his desire to suck blood.
When Emiya Kiritsugu saw Xia Li, Xia Li could only barely control herself, she looked at the boy in horror and kept running backwards.
She curled up in a huge chicken coop made of chains, and painfully managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I, I just want to test the teacher's research, but, it seems, no-"
At that time, Xia Li tried her best to control herself, although there was an instinctive and huge desire in her that made her want to pounce on Emiya Kiritsugu, to bite him, to crave his blood.
But her sanity hadn't disappeared yet, and she knew that this was the boy she wanted to grow up with forever.
At that time, Emiya Kiritsugu stayed there like a log, and the reality that was more terrible than a nightmare made him seem to be unable to think, to believe, to believe his eyes.
With a roar of pain, Xia Li slammed into the iron cage, suppressing her bloodthirsty desire with physical pain, and a dagger she usually used fell from her clothes and threw it in front of Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Kill me......" The girl's voice trembled a little in pain.
"Please, Kiritsugu, kill me with that...... Now, there must be time to ......" Xia Li buried her head deep in her knees, restraining her movements with great strength.
At that time, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't speak, but kept retreating.
"Please, no...... While I can still control it, hurry up!" Xia Li's voice was hoarse and sharp at that time, and she held the steel wire of the iron cage tightly with both hands, and her hands were marked with blood.
She bit her arm, using her own flesh to suppress the desire for the flesh of the young man in front of her.
Emiya Kiritsugu, whose brain was blank, fled.
He called the priest to come back here, but Charlie was gone.
Emiya Kiritsugu stayed in the priest's room, waiting, bitter and frightened to recall.
During this time, the entire island has become a Dead Apostle because of Charlie, and she can't control herself anymore.
Emiya Kiritsugu saw a hellish scene at that time.
The Magic Guild and the Templars soon arrived and carried out a mass slaughter of the Dead Apostles, leaving none of the people who had lived peacefully on the island alive.
Originally, Emiya Kiritsugu was also going to be surrounded by the Dead Apostles and become one of them, but at that time, a woman saved him.
Her name is Natalia.
Natalia is a "hunter" who does not belong to any organization and only acts for rewards, and she is looking for the magician designated by the seal of the Magic Society, who is also the father of Emiya Kiritsugu.
This time her mission is to find the magician and kill him.
Natalia tells the confused Emiya Kiritsugu everything, explaining the cause and effect of the whole incident very clearly.
At that time, Emiya Kiritsugu understood that his father had made it all happen.
It was his own weakness that made all of this happen.
Charlie asked him to kill her, but he didn't do it, so the entire island died because of him.
He was wrong, and he had to make amends.
Emiya Kiritsugu remembered Xia Li's smile last night and remembered her words.
"Kiritsugu, what kind of adult do you want to be when you grow up?"
The sunny and cheerful Emiya Kiritsugu disappears and becomes a magician killer.
……
On that day, Emiya Kiritsugu killed his father with his own hands, and his father, who had always been with him and loved deeply.
His father knew that his experiment had failed, but he didn't care if Xia Li and the people on the island were alive or dead, because sooner or later he would experiment with people.
In his heart, he only cares about Emiya Kiritsugu, and he wants to teach everything about himself to his son.
When his father tried to flee the island with him, Emiya Kiritsugu stabbed his father in the body with a dagger from Charly, and then opened fire with Natalia's pistol, killing him completely.
Emiya Kiritsugu's heart and hand had been separated, and his heart had already been crying all over his body, but he didn't shed a single tear, and his hand was steady.
Because he knew that if he left with his father, his father would definitely continue the experiment, and then more people would be killed.
More people will die because of this, and Emiya Kiritsugu will not let himself hesitate any longer.
