Chapter 21: The Scabbard
The hazy moonlight poured down through the windows of the school building and spilled into the corridors.
It was a bright corridor, but at this time it was covered in blood, and a young man in a school uniform was lying on the ground, and the blood on his body had already run out.
Bang bang bang
The sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and the figures of Rin Tosaka and Sakura Maki appeared on this bloody floor!
But when Rin and Sakura just walked out of the corridor and saw a scene in the corridor, he turned around and dragged Sakura, who hadn't seen the floor clearly.
"Sakura, you're waiting for me here!"
Rin's expression at this time seemed so serious, and her red eyes were full of sparks called anger!
Seeing this, Sakura couldn't help but be stunned and nodded subconsciously.
After seeing Sakura's reply, Rin nodded, turned around and walked straight to Xue Li's side with heavy steps: "He... Dead? The crisp and melodious voice revealed a kind of anger that had been suppressed to the extreme, and this anger made Rin's voice seem very cold.
Xue Li nodded, but there were no words!
"What about Lancer?"
"Left!"
Xue Li replied expressionlessly, and then leaned down to pick up the body of Emiya Shirou, looking very gloomy between his eyebrows: "This is... Magician? ”
Rin on the side of Wenyan's face darkened, although Xue Li's words were not clear, but she could also think of the meaning of Xue Li's words.
"I can tell that Lancer didn't want to kill this young man, but he had to kill him, and the reason was just ......" Xue Li glanced up at Rin and continued, "His master has given the order that it must be erased!" ”
Rin glanced at Emiya Shirou in Xue Li's arms, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and she also recognized the identity of this person.
But there is only guilt in his eyes.
The only impression of this boy in Rin's heart is that he was on the playground at the beginning, the back of the person who kept practicing high jump. At the beginning, this back made her feel a little yearning in her heart. But that's all, after all, Rin has always tried to avoid contact with ordinary people in his heart, and has been preparing for this Holy Grail War.
However, it's no wonder that Rin is like this, after all, she doesn't continue to pay attention to Emiya Shirou because of Sakura like in the original book. So there is no other mixed feeling about its nature.
"Eliminating witnesses is an iron rule of magicians. It's because I hate this rule that I've been living my life carefully. ”
Rin glanced at the corpse in Xue Li's arms, then turned his attention away, looked at Xue Li's handsome cheeks and said word by word.
Xue Li took a deep breath, turned straight and jumped out of the window, and after his figure disappeared, a slightly annoyed voice came to Rin's ears.
"I need to be quiet!"
Watching Xue Li's back disappear, Rin stood in place for a long, long time.
On the other side, Xue Li, who left the school, did not go far. I just came to the hill behind the academy.
He placed Emiya's body on the ground and got busy. Xue Li's figure began to flash left and right, and every time he appeared, the big tree would break and fall to the ground, and it would be split into strips with his hand knife!
Not long after, a pile of wood appeared next to Emiya Shirou's body.
Immediately, Xue Li placed the body of Emiya Shirou on the wooden pile, took out the flint he brought from his body, and stepped forward.
"I'm sorry, boy. It was my negligence that caused your death. ”
For the young man on the wooden pile, Xue Li felt guilty from the bottom of his heart.
After all, before the war with Lancer. He swept the campus several times with his domineering spirit, and only when he was sure that there was no one on the campus did he choose to break Lancer's trail and start a war with him. It was precisely because of this that Xue Li would feel so guilty, if he had found this person earlier, and expelled him to no avail. He was obliterated by Lancer as a result.
Then he can only say that this is the death of the young man to bring it on himself, and he will not feel the slightest guilt.
Of course, this is impossible, if he discovers the existence of the youth, then Xue Li will definitely not choose to break Lancer's position. He would just pretend not to know, and take Lancer to a no-man's land to start fighting him.
So in Xue Li's heart, the cause of the death of the young man in front of him was all himself.
But whenever he thought of this, he would feel extremely puzzled, after all, under Xue Li's domineering sweep with all his might, he didn't find the existence of this young man. No, it should be said that if it weren't for the boy's body right in front of him, he probably wouldn't have noticed that there was a corpse here.
It was as if some unknown force had completely cut off his domineering sense.
This made Xue Li feel more and more distrustful of his domineering, and in just a few days after coming to this world, his domineering experience and knowledge failed twice in succession.
After reading this, a wry smile appeared on Xue Li's face: he shook his head and stepped forward to use the flint to set fire to the wooden pile.
The flames suddenly set off, and the crimson flames stained Xue Li's cheeks red.
"I don't know what your world should do with the dead, so let's take advantage of our disposal methods there, and I wish you a good birth in your next life."
Cremate.
This is arguably the most commonly used funeral method in the pirate world, whether it is a crew, an acquaintance, or even a ship.
When they die or are unable to continue sailing, they are mostly cremated and their ashes (ashes) scattered on ******.
Let them be able to sleep forever in the sea they love in their hearts.
Therefore, in Xue Li's heart, cremation of the dead can be said to be a very grand ceremony.
The flames fluttered, and the breeze fueled the fire, making it grow stronger and stronger.
Xue Li stood quietly aside, the churning flames imprinted into his eyes. Without blinking, he watched as the flames wrapped the young man's corpse, and a pungent smell came to his face, but it did not cause Xue Li's expression to change in the slightest.
He just stood quietly by the fire, patiently waiting for the flame to finish.
Time passed little by little, and after nearly 20 minutes, the flame was completely extinguished, and the wood ashes and ashes were mixed together to form a small pile of black soot!
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the fire was completely extinguished, Xue Li turned around and prepared to leave this place.
But in the next moment, a golden light reflected in his afterglow, causing his body to froze. His body turned, his eyes fixed on the pile of ashes.
'Whew-'
At this time, a breeze spawned out of thin air, blowing the ashes and ashes into all directions. A golden-colored bar was also completely reflected in Xue Li's eyes.
"It's ...... Scabbard? (To be continued.) )
