Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Interweaving of Science and Magic
At night, in the new capital, the Church Church Secret Altar
The brown room is full of luxury, and the clean formaldehyde-free air in the room indicates that this is a secret sanctuary that has been prepared for a long time, and on the writing desk illuminated by the golden light, a dignified and calm man is writing something.
"A report to the church and what? You're such a busy man, Yan Feng. β
A breathless voice sounded from behind Father Yan Feng. Even so, he did not hesitate, and continued his work while sitting in his chair.
"Oh, there's a usurper. I look at the number of people who have been killed, and there are still five dead among them. As an overseer, isn't that a little bit more, Yan Feng. The blonde-haired foreign man stood behind Yan Feng, his eyes revealing disdain for the world.
"As it stands, it seems impossible to say for sure. Although this is the first time that such a large-scale unconsciousness event has occurred, if it stops, it will be fine. Both churches and associations tacitly allow this level of aftercare. β
"But...... That's what is written on this page now~~~~Hmph~~~ I don't know where it is, who did such an arrogant thing to ~~~~~" The blonde foreigner's tone showed that he had known who the murderer was.
"You've noticed, Yan Feng. If you continue to indulge like this, this street will be empty. β
Father Yan Feng did not answer. He couldn't have been clearer about what the foreigner who appeared behind the scenes said. The mysterious shadows that appear on the street have been specially absorbing life force until now, and their number is increasing day by day. This abnormal extraction behavior, which began a few days ago, will exceed the prescribed amount in a few days. Although the victim's illness is still at the level of difficulty breathing, no matter how healthy an adult male is, there is no way to survive the overnight.
"Still, it's useless to worry about it. I'm not a layman anymore, so I don't know where the limits are. "Father Yan Feng is not in a hurry to write, perhaps, he also has his difficulties.
"That's right. But that's the way the worm is. If the people who use that method don't solve it sooner, won't they continue to be troubled? The blonde foreigner said something as if he were about to trample an ant to death.
"I'm not used to seeing humans being shamelessly killed."
For Yan Feng, that kind of statement surprised him. Even this man, who doesn't need anyone other than himself, cares about the safety of humanity on the street.
"It's amazing. What kind of wind are you blowing, Gilgamesh. There was a hint of amusement in Father Yanfeng's words.
"Don't be surprised, Yan Feng. I can't allow anyone other than me to kill humans at will. Man is to be confused by the meaningless punishment that befalls him. And the pain of that kind of means can't make me happy. β
"I see. You're a Heroic Spirit. It is better to give death for the sake of salvation than to the pain of survival. So, your wish is still death. β
"Of course. Because in modern times, it's full of meaningless, worthless guys. Isn't it justice that sweeps one away? The Hero King's contemptuous voice was filled with absolute composure and majesty.
Father Yan Feng listened while constantly handling affairs in his hands.
I see. If you wish so, then give you the Holy Grail. Until there is anyone who can defeat you, the Holy Grail is your thing. β
"Huh? Yan Feng, don't you have a desire yourself? β
"I don't have a clear desire. All I have is the desire for happiness that is clear in itself. β
"Ha--haha, by the way, you just want to be happy!" The priest's succinct answer made the young man laugh. Playing with great joy and praising his partner.
"Yes. I kill for disgust, you kill for pleasure. The reasons are different, but they all pursue the Holy Grail the same, and that's why I've been kept here! β
"...................................." the priest did not answer, he just went about his work indifferently.
"Hmph, it's okay if you don't act. I'm just going to do whatever I can. The King of Heroes turned and was about to leave.
Hearing the Hero King leave, the priest glanced towards the exit.
"Although it looks crazy, the depths are still normal. It seemed that even that mire could not pollute his soul. The priest made a silent decision in his heart.
"Don't you give that 'Holy Son' a chance to exercise anymore?" The priest was still calmly handling things.
However, the pace of the Hero King stopped.
"Let him kill his lover...... It is also possible to temper him and get rid of the things that the king hates. Only he who can give up everything is qualified to fight this king...... Hmph~~~~~ worthy of being an overseer~~~~~ "The Hero King gave Qili a very rare affirmation full of mockery.
The corners of the priest's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled strangely, and his eyes, illuminated by the light, narrowed as if they could see into the future.
Dawn, on the path back to Kiri's house
"It's around here...... There's no one......" Sakura stared at the familiar, but long-lost surroundings with dull eyes.
"Already...... It's all gone......" The confused girl lowered her head and looked at her white hands, which did not have a trace of blood.
"Something like that...... How long will it last......" The girl's mind was already confused, and the remaining memories in her head kept flashing in front of her eyes.
"Uncle came to save you, it's all right......"
"Uncle...... Uncle Wild Goose? The flame of hope in the girl's eyes burned again.
"Let's go."
"Hmm!" A hand full of hope stretched out.
"Can't you see the road anymore, Sakura." From the mouth of "Uncle Yanye", there was an old voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Grandpa!" The girl withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
"Why didn't you come back on time?" The old man's voice was intimidating and threatening.
"I'm sorry."
"How's the body?" Such a warm greeting, but to Sakura's ears, it was extremely cold.
"Also...... It's OK. β
"yes, let's get home and get some rest."
"Yes."
At the same time, the palace residence
"I'm back, haa~~~~~~~~~" The master of the Uetani group, who had fought all night, was already exhausted.
"Hu~~~~~~~~~" In the wide mansion, there is only a dull snoring sound that echoes the upper valley.
"Senior Weigong, you good old man has been sent to vigil again." Looking at the sleeping appearance of the pit father in the Wei Palace, Shanggu can think of it with his feet.
"Good morning, big brother~~~~~~~~"
The one who opened the door was Miss Illya, with her delicate long hair, fair face, and most importantly, her big eyes full of vitality, all of which showed that she had a good night's sleep last night, and then looked at the Wei Gong who was paralyzed at the door, and Kamiya once again denounced the exploitation of capitalism in her heart, and strengthened her belief that only socialism could save the country.
"Good morning, Illya, where's Rin? Up? β
"Well, Rin, not only did she get up, but she also made breakfast uncharacteristically~~~~~~~~~" Illya and Ueya walked into the front hall together, and Ueya dragged Emiya in, and the thing fell asleep on the table again.
"It's been a hard night patrol, ~~~~~~~ Kamiya" Rin elegantly brought the breakfast sandwich to Kamiya, and she had a good rest last night.
"How was it outside last night?" Rin sat down beside Kamiya with a beaming spirit.
"Oh, I met the Assassin and his master last night, and we fought a great battle of ghosts and gods."
"Huh? Master ...... of Assassin Dirty inkstone ???? Rin was a little confused, even though she had a good night's sleep last night.
"Well, for some reason, this Assassin is the real Assassin, no longer the three wanderers with the wild knife before, and its Master has also been changed from Caster to Jian Tong Dirty Inkstone."
"How could it be...... ......"Rin's face turned a little pale.
"Maybe there's some unknown PY deal in it......" Seeing that Rin was a little nervous, Kamiya interrupted.
......On the table, Rin's little fist clenched tightly.
(The guy I shot at was so good?) Seeing Rin so nervous, Kamiya felt a little proud in his heart.
βSaberοΌβ Rin, who suddenly came back to his senses, stopped Saber, who was eating with his head bored.
"Yes!" Saber replied and squinted at his master, his eyes vividly indicating that there was some kind of shady deal between the two.
"How is the combat power of the Assassin, is it strong?" Rin asked nervously as she took Saber's hand.
"Well, it's very strong, although he was suppressed by me due to the limitation of his rank, but he has brought out his advantages and combat effectiveness that should be brought into play." Saber wasn't lying.
"So Shangya, did you confront the dirty inkstone?"
"Ah, how else would I know he's the Master."
"Got a fight?"
"Ahh
"How did you escape?"
"I (accidentally seconded him) ...................................." Hearing this, Kamiya realized how strong the dirty inkstone was in Rin's consciousness.
"I was chased and beaten by him, and the old man used the bugs very well, and I stole them from the hardware store in the market...... Ahem...... I took two electric mosquito swatters and a four-plate No. 5 battery, which is the kind with a shaped ring, which can lock more power~~~~~~ and then fight while running, and finally his bugs are not as ~~~~~~~~strong as my battery," Kamiya said, gesturing to fight mosquitoes.
"Although his bugs are disgusting, but I think the magician's bugs are also very expensive~~~~~ just crackling and being electrocuted by my electric mosquito swatter for more than ten yuan, looking at his heart-rending pain, I don't think he can afford it, after all, the streets are all convenience stores, and you can get it again if you run out ......of electricity" imagined the appearance of the dirty inkstone struggling in the sea of fire, and Shanggu reproduced the "heartbreaking" expression of the dirty inkstone.
"Uh.............................." Rin looked at Kamiya with a sad expression.
"What's wrong?" Kamiya looked at Rin with a puzzled expression.
"Dirty inkstone...... The head of the family ...... Actually...... I was ...... by you like this."
"He didn't lose to me, he lost to science~~~~~~ "Shanggu brain made up for the strange methods of catching sparrows, pigeons, and grasshoppers of the imperial court, as well as the efficiency of grid fishing...... At the same time, he sighed at the profound wisdom of the old man who hid in the small place of Fuyuki.
"If there's a fish pond around...... It's hard for an old man not to get rich......" Kamiya sighed again.
"Fish ponds? What is the relationship between dirty inkstones and fish ponds? "At this moment, Rin, who is extremely sensitive to curiosity, has an endless curiosity about any word of Kamiya.
"Uh~~~~ It's nothing, I'm a little tired after a night of struggle, and I'm incoherent~~~~~" Kamiya once again perfunctory.
"That's right...... But if it's dirty, it shouldn't be more than that......" Rin rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought again.
