Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Red Lotus Brand
The day is near, and it is like a burning furnace. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info - Malachi
During the day, the sun was shining brightly.
But there was no darkness in the sky, not because darkness did not exist, but because night had not yet fallen.
It was a quiet night like before, and people were asleep. No one noticed that a black sun hovered over their heads, and it hung in the night sky, silent and deep. It is as if the tinted sun is releasing a ghostly light, shrouding this upstream residential area in darkness.
Suddenly, as if struck a fatal blow, the black sun suddenly went out of flames—like a source of water dug into its source, filled with black mud cursed with all the evils in the world, which had the power to destroy all life, like a waterfall half gushing out of the citizens from this sun.
In the blink of an eye, the black mud poured out of the building through the entrance of the guild hall and spread out to the surrounding neighborhood. Smelling the mud of death with the breath of human life, it turned into a scorching curse and struck them.
After a while, the holes in the sky disappeared, and the black mud no longer gushed out, but the earth brought a massive fire, and the people who could not drag it turned into charred corpses one by one. The night sky is rendered by the grand red lotus fire, and the ground is endlessly staged with the feast of death.
It was later determined that more than 500 people were killed and 134 buildings were burned. This huge disaster, which has always been of unknown cause, has left an indelible mark on the hearts of the citizens of Fuyuki City.
In the midst of this disaster, only a very small number of people escaped in time on the periphery of the fire, and only one child was miraculously saved from the center of the fire by a passing priest.
-- That was 10 years ago.
I smelled the smell of burning human fat, felt the heat, and opened my eyes and looked around, only crumbling houses and raging flames scorched the sky.
I don't know how many miles I've walked, so I just walked aimlessly, walking, and then running out of strength...... Fell.
The field of vision turned red, the oxygen-taking organs no longer functioned, and the hands and feet burned as if they were burning—no, they were probably already burning, right?
I didn't want to be burned to death like that. But, forget it, it's really uncomfortable, painful and painful, and alive and suffering, so it's better to die altogether.
At this moment, a face appeared in front of his eyes.
For some reason, it was the man who seemed a little happy - he looked so happy.
He stood in front of him, dressed in dark robes, with a large cross hanging from his neck, and the light of the fire reflected beautifully on it.
"Hahaha, look at Qili, there is a mongrel who hasn't died yet, what is this? God's good-willed providence? Or is it a malicious favor? ”
"Hero King, if it's true as you say, maybe this will be one of the solutions to that weird equation."
Faced with another laugh coming from nowhere, the man replied softly. I could only stand still, my throat couldn't make any sound, and my consciousness gradually drifted away.
"Oh?"
"In the past, the preciousness of goodness was praised, and the beauty of the divine was celebrated. It is precisely because of this belief in truth that more than 20 years of life have been wasted. What if I could have gotten the answer ahead of time, what if I hadn't known about myself until I met you? ”
The man's grim face was stained with a smile, and that smile was the crystallization of malice and treachery, a smile that only hyenas can appear when they search for their prey, in this hell of the red lotus, looking for the carrion of [malice].
"For more than 20 years, I just skipped the process and method of answering the questions and obtained the answers, how can I confirm their meaning and value?"
"Hmph, I see, but Qili, are you planning to save him? Your half-tone magic can't save this half-breathed bastard, huh? Or wilt thou ask this king, and trust in his glory? ”
"No, not really. If, as you say, he is also favored by malice, then he must be just like me. Even death can be reborn from that sin"
The heart of joy was full of anticipation, overflowing malice thirsting for more sacrifices, and the familiar prayer that was to be recited every day came out of his mouth in an instant.
"Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)"
***************************************************
――Through the memories of the past, Shirou wakes up from his deep sleep.
It seems that some important thing just now flashed through my memory, but it is difficult to form it at all. In the vague depths of consciousness, the hand of consciousness that strives to grasp the truth keeps failing.
Turning her head sideways, the silver-haired girl who was asleep next to her, Shirou had to say that she was more attractive when she was asleep - the jade face without the slightest flaw had a sense of mystery, like a doll made by a god, and she didn't feel a trace of human vulgarity.
But...... I don't know why, but I always feel that he feels a little similar to his adoptive father. Thinking so, Shirou couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair like shampoo on her head.
"Hmmm......"
Karene opened her eyes in a daze, and muttered in a low voice: "Just woke up and insulted the nun, what a yin-chaos priest." ”
"Ah, I thought I would wake up and find a yin-chaotic nun riding on me or something, but now there is a plot of this pure love flow all of a sudden, so I have to touch something first to see if it's a dream."
Hands slid down from her head to her body, and began to caress her back through her pajamas, and Karene trembled.
She's sensitive to any action she's made, and that's cute—Shirou thought.
"Shirou, the technology is getting better and better. But when Shirou said it fiercely for the first time, he also pressed the acupuncture points that stimulated my libido or something...... It's been a lot of progress this year. ”
I was obviously pressing the acupuncture point to stop bleeding...... Only you would have such a big reaction.
"Want to do it again?"
The voice began to grow seductive, but Shirou smacked his mouth and shook his head in refusal, Karen's desire for sex was no less than that of an adult—no, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was more than that. But if you are happy even during the day, it is not good for your health.
"Don't you know where you're going? Forget it, anyway, she's the most unreliable heroic spirit in history. ”
Shirou sighed, stood up and began to get dressed. Not only are there other Heroic Spirits who are enemies, but they also have to think about their own Caster, after all, they will betray that kind of person in a matter of seconds if they are happy.
"Hmm...... The belly is still swollen, Shirou, help me get dressed. ”
"Okay."
The silver-haired girl was lazily groping her belly on the bed, and Shirou brought a nun's dress and underwear and began to dress it for her. Many men know how to undress women, but there are quite few who dress women.
First take off the large male shirt that is used as pajamas, and then pull up your hair, and it is not difficult to put on underwear, but it is troublesome to put on stockings. Shirou walked around behind her, reached out and picked up Karen's body, pressed the weight of her whole body on his thighs, and helped her put it on.
Karen softened her body and fiddled with Shirou at will. Shirou looked at Kalian's body—there seemed to be some blood oozing from the bandage. It's weird, there shouldn't be any demons around here...... And there's no one scarier than a demon.
"It's time to take a shower, it's going to be very uncomfortable."
"Huh!? Do you mean to wash off Shirou's X liquid? Won't you feel pity? ”
What kind of pervert would be a pity because of these things! And I mean bloodstains, okay?
Shirou decided to keep his face blank and not continue to make this boring joke.
"Anyway, are you going to try that [game] that Caster said?"
Karen asked suddenly, she didn't look back, her long hair obscuring her expression.
"Don't think about what you don't have, if you think about Caster, you've already been fooled."
Unpredictable actions in unpredictable situations - Caster, to put it simply, is utter chaos. It would be a futile effort to try to guess its intentions and intentions.
"Now the Holy Grail War is a game, and we only have two ways to play in this game, are we willing to cooperate with the demon to eat everyone, or do we want to offend everyone and die without a place to bury? This is a game, no matter what we choose, we all lose something, and the best way is not to participate in the game and take a step back. The more I get involved, the more I'll become a clown to please it, and if I get involved in the game, I'll even get farther and farther away from the Holy Grail. ”
It may be a sign that Shirou's eyes are like those of a tightrope walker in a circus, he senses danger, but his reason does not frighten it.
Compared to a few days ago, he seemed to be very interested in the Holy Grail War now. Thinking about "close to victory" has already begun. And before he knew it, he began to call this war a game-
“…… Shirou. ”
"Huh?"
"You two...... Sure enough, it's the same. ”
-- It was like an alien creature that had suddenly been thrown onto a strange planet.
