Chapter 13 Intention to form an alliance
My name is Lin Hao,
I was captured by Kiritsugu......
285:16:32
Emiya Kiritsugu has three materials that Maiya Kuyu has collected for him.
First, about a woman from country C named "Lin Hao", she was born in a magician family over there, or according to the local saying called the Xiuzhen family, originally very talented, but because of a magic accident paralyzed in bed, completely unconscious from the neck down, after long-term treatment, the arm regained mobility and can use magic, but the family has given up on her training, three years ago came to a famous medical school in Japan for further treatment, from the records of the medical school and she is still receiving treatment and has not left.
Second, a girl who was hospitalized at Fuyuki General Hospital was also called Lin Hao and looked exactly the same, she was admitted to the hospital a year ago, and her symptoms were paralysis from the waist down, and she was followed by a maid who took care of her daily life. The material also includes a comparison of the similarities between the photograph of the maid's back and the vague image of the woman who invaded the Einzbelen annex earlier.
Third, it is the medical records of Dongmu General Hospital for a year, judging from these records, Lin Hao is not only paralyzed and not improved, but constantly sick and small, at first glance there is nothing special, but if you compare it longitudinally, you will find a terrifying fact: every time she is "sick", the hospital will have a patient with the same disease cured and discharged, and there are even several diseases that can never be cured by Dongmu's medical conditions, and follow-up investigation shows that these recovered patients are very healthy after discharge. Some disorders that are prone to recurrence have not recurred.
"I tried to get the demons to fly in to find their targets, but as soon as they entered the hospital area, they lost control and behaved like wild bats, and only returned to normal when they left the hospital area by luck." Seeing that Kiritsugu looked at the hospital building and seemed thoughtful, Kuyu Maiya took a step closer to add an explanation.
"Let's go." Emiya Kiritsugu didn't respond to this, and put away the documents and walked straight to the hospital gate, although it was irrational to step into a Caster's position, but the short-haired woman who never doubted him immediately stepped forward to follow.
The entire hospital is full of self-operating and conditionally triggered magic tricks, which are not only completely undetectable from the outside, but even from the inside, if they are not predetermined to exist and checked in a targeted manner, there is no doubt that this hospital has been transformed into an excellent magic workshop by Caster with the ability of the [Position Making] class.
But this workshop didn't have the slightest offensive technique, so that the defense technique originally set up by Kiritsugu was in vain, the only thing that can barely be called is that after someone asked about the situation of the 401 ward, this person forgot the answer and discouraged the desire to ask again, after Kiritsugu discovered this magic trap with no silver three hundred taels here, he directly determined the location of Lin Hao's ward.
"What's wrong?" When Maiya heard Maiya's confused voice, Emiya Kiritsugu realized that he was standing in front of the elevator in a daze and did not go to the button at all to call the elevator.
"I'm hesitating." The Magician Killer admits that he had misjudged the Master: "The decision that came with hearing you report 'Discovered Caster's Master' may no longer be executable. ”
While Caster is placing his Master inside what he thinks is safe, he can break in and take the spell from his Master, or simply knock him out.
It used to be like this, but for now things are out of control.
Emiya Kiritsugu intends to make a wish to the Holy Grail is to "save the world", he is a gentle person, because he is too gentle, and as a result, he becomes unable to forgive the cruelty of this world, so he does not know any way to fulfill this wish except to kill and kill and judge which side is more worthy of saving by the number of human lives, so he has to hope for the Holy Grail that can produce miracles.
And now, as if laughing at him loudly, someone has shown another way - to carry on himself all the sorrows, misfortunes, pains, despairs, and regrets in the world that need to be saved, to truly save the world, and only one person is sacrificed, and to do this burden, it takes the power of miracles.
"If you have the same desires, why don't you form an alliance with her?" Although Kuyu Maiya understands Kiritsugu's wishes and is willing to support him, she is not as fanatical as him, and all her actions are just to achieve Kiritsugu's own wishes, and she has calmly analyzed at this time.
"I need to talk to her." Perhaps the girl didn't know the ultimate meaning of her behavior, and just wanted to help others, but because the magic trick was inconvenient to show in front of the world, she simply borrowed Caster's power to transfer other people's illnesses to herself, and then secretly healed them.
In ward 401, Emiya Kiritsugu, who quietly walked into the room, carefully checked the room to make sure there were no magic traps here, and then walked towards the hospital bed, while Maiya was on guard at the door.
The girl named Lin Hao was sleeping in the hospital bed, and although the medical record card said that she was 22 years old, the wide hospital gown made the thin woman look more like 15 or 6 years old.
Compared with the photo data, her originally ruddy face has become pale, her small round face with baby fat has also thinned her pointed chin, her faint thin eyebrows seem to be collapsed due to discomfort, and her short hair with scattered ears is slightly yellow.
"Hmm......" The girl's sleep was very light, and she was awakened as soon as Kiritsugu walked to the bed, and opened her eyes to look at the tall man in black in front of her, and there was confusion and confusion in her dark eyes that were not very reflective at all.
brush, Kiritsugu pulled out a gun and held it against her eyebrows.
The girl's pupils dilated slightly, and her gaze swept over Kiritsugu and Maiya, and then she closed her eyes again with an expression of knowing this and helplessness.
"You can summon Caster to save you, Miss Lin." Kiritsugu pointed to the back of her right hand, which was marked with a bright red mark, and while the strange pattern of the four rings nested on each other was identical to the biochemical warning sign, the fluctuations in magic that lit up were no doubt that it was a spell.
"Don't." The girl's voice is a little low, and there is hoarseness caused by illness, and determination.
Buzz –
"Many of the preset magic spells have been activated," although Maiya's magic skills are not high, but it is still possible to judge the effect of this kind of righteous light: "But the magic fluctuations are all coming from other wards." ”
Although Maiya can't judge the effect, Kiritsugu is different, this kind of transfer magic ...... Do you think you're going to kill her, so why don't you cure everyone else's illness first?
"Do you want to die?!" As a magician killer, it was easy to interrupt this straightforward preset magic with a wave of his hand, but Emiya Kiritsugu still felt palpitations at the number of spells triggered in an instant, which was simply the sheer scale of transferring the symptoms of the entire hospital and all the patients around the hospital.
Would Caster be willing to help her Master with such a useless workshop and technique?
Lin Hao opened one eye, aimed at the muzzle of the gun that was still pointing at his forehead, and closed it again.
Is this what it means to "obviously want to kill me" and "I don't want to talk to you"?
Kiritsugu smiled before he could get angry: "Maiya, go and drive the car over." "Yes."
Under the frightened gaze of the girl in the hospital gown, the tall man in black wrapped her in a sheet and picked her up after his fellow woman in black left, and then walked straight outside.
Lin Hao, who could only move his arms, hit him with a weak fist.
"Either you call Caster back, or I'll take you away." Emiya Kiritsugu kept saying at his feet.
The girl was stunned, and turned to grab his hair, this time with her hands in her hands,
After that, she kept struggling, and even used some small magic tricks, but they were all resolved one by one by the battle-hardened Kiritsugu.
In the end, she wilted due to anemia and dizziness, and was stuffed into Maiya's car and quickly taken away.
The doctors and patients at the hospital didn't notice anything wrong with the magic under the influence of Kiritsugu's hint of magic.
274:35:56
In the guest room of the Einz Bellen Annex, Alice Phil is taking care of the girl who was brought back by Kiritsugu.
Although this girl named Hayashi Hao should be an enemy in this Holy Grail War as a Master, after reading the information that Kiritsugu turned around, she has completely regarded the girl as her own.
When she tried to smooth the girl's brow again, which was furrowed even in her sleep, her eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes opened.
"Ah, you're awake," Alice Fell touched her forehead, "Don't force yourself to use that kind of magic if you're not in good health." ”
"May I ask who you are......" Lin Hao blinked and looked around, as if surprised that he had been captured and that he had not been restrained at all.
"Alice Phil von Einzberen, Caster has already told you who we are, right?" Alice Phil asked softly.
Caster's ability to gather intelligence is even better than that of the Assassin, and the information about the masters who didn't deliberately hide them must have been known to this kid.
"Hmm...... My name is 'Lin Hao'" The girl raised her hand and looked at the spell on the back of her hand, and replied with a sigh of relief.
It seems that she cares a lot about her Servent, but not as a force in the Holy Grail War, but more like a friend or family? Seeing this, Alice Fell smiled even more gently.
"You...... Woo! ”
Lin Hao stretched out her arms as if she wanted to sit up and reply, but suddenly she became like a marionette and went under the bed, her eyes widened in horror, but she couldn't control her limbs at all.
"Xiaohao, you can't get up yet," Mrs. hurriedly helped the girl who was almost out of bed: "Your magic circuit is still in a state of exhaustion because of excessive consumption of mana." ”
According to Kiritsugu, yesterday the kid seemed to be frightened by him, and rashly activated a technique that only Caster or a very high-level magician could activate, which made her already poor physical condition worse.
"You should know...... I'm Caster's Master, right? Are we enemies? Lin Hao seemed to want to exert his strength but failed, and in desperation, he let Alice Phil help her to lie down again.
"I know~ But Xiao Hao is a good boy, so it's okay~" Alice Phil smiled at her and reached out to touch her head.
Lin Hao looked very disappreciative but had nothing to say.
"I ......" she seemed to finally think of what to say, but as soon as she spoke, her eyes suddenly lost their brightness, her breathing stopped, and her arms hung limply.
"Hello?!" Alice Phil was startled and hurriedly used healing magic on the girl who suddenly fell unconscious.
Because it was not an injury but an onset of disease, especially some diseases that could not have been complicated, the effect of the magic treatment was very limited, and Lin Hao regained his breathing after a layer of fine sweat appeared on Alice Phil's forehead.
"Sorry little good...... My healing magic can only heal 'foreign' injuries and diseases......" Alice Phil said apologetically, putting away the magic light in her hand.
Not only was her chronic illness paralyzed, but there were also various diseases that I didn't know how to transfer to her, although many of them had been cured, but the damage still left traces, and this time although the "shock" that had just occurred was cured, the other disease was more serious.
In the terminology of the handheld games that Illya likes to play, Alice Phil's treatment is "replenishing HP", and Lin Hao's current state is "reducing the upper limit of HP", which is completely inappropriate for professionalism.
"Get me back to the hospital...... There's Caster's ......," said Lin Hao, who had regained consciousness, weakly.
"No, Caster's workshop is gone, ...... while you're unconscious"
"What! That guy - blown up the hospital! …… Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”
The girl suddenly struggled violently to remember, which caused a violent cough, and finally blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and she fell back into a complete coma.
"Hello!!"
274:04:11
"Looks like I've been thoroughly hated, whether it's Caster or her Master."
Emiya Kiritsugu was checking the completion of the magic circle depicted on the floor of the chapel, and after listening to Alice Phil's relay, he had a self-deprecating expression.
"Caster has an advantage in intelligence gathering, and may already know your past deeds, so it's only natural that the kid who has just become a master will be scared when he hears that he is going to fight a man who is known as the 'Magician Killer'." Alice Phil's tone was a little weak at this time because she had spent a lot of magic to treat Lin Hao before.
"She was born in a family of magicians in Country C, and even if she didn't get an education due to illness, she must have heard a lot of anecdotes about magicians," Kiritsugu analyzed, carefully checking the patterns depicted with mercury for any twists and mottles, "This shows that there are people in her country who are similar to me, because I can guarantee that I have never done anything like 'blowing up a hospital' - I just lifted all the magic tricks." ”
"But Kiritsugu is completely different from them," Alice Fell said in a proud tone, as she approached her husband, "Isn't it your dream dream to create a world where she no longer needs to carry the grief of others?" That kid will understand you. ”
"Now I am not qualified to ask her to understand." After confirming that the situation of the magic array was good, Kiritsugu shook his head and stood up: "I went to pray to the Holy Grail for such a miracle because I didn't know how to save the world, and she was convinced that she was saving the world in the right way and made a wish to the Holy Grail to make it come true, if this is a race, I am still halfway there, but she is about to reach the end." ”
Hearing this declaration that bordered on admitting defeat, Alice Phil smiled instead.
"But you didn't stop." She grabbed Kiritsugu's arm, "Even if you admit that kid's way of 'saving the world' is right, you still haven't changed your mind, have you?" ”
"......" Kiritsugu was silent.
In this world, there has always been only Alice Phil who can understand Emiya Kiritsugu, even if it is like a master and apprentice, and Kuyu Maiya, who has been fighting side by side for many years, is just unconditionally supporting his behavior, but Alice Phil understands and accepts everything about him, just like at this moment, when even Kiritsugu himself is shaken, she sees his heart clearly.
"Although Kiritsuro will use the number of lives as a balance pointer for 'who is more worthy of saving', it is an expedient measure when there is no 'miracle', what you really want is a world where no 'anyone' sacrifices for this, this 'anyone' includes the child, and you want one more person than her." Kiritsugu saw the smile in Alice Phil's eyes even more pronounced, as if he was happy to be able to preach to himself.
"It's embarrassing to be preached......" Emiya Kiritsugu turned his gaze to the holy relic placed on the altar, which was a golden texture, decorated with dazzling blue enamel, with a long-lost fairy text engraved in the middle, a sword scabbard like a work of art: "Thank you, Ellie, I have already figured out how to get along with that 'Knight King', although it may make the girl named 'Hayashi Hao' hate me even more." ”
"No~" Alice Phil shook her head: "Xiao Hao is a good boy." ”
