Chapter 14: Divergence
"Whew, what time is it?"
Sophie's expression froze for a moment, and she said slowly after a few moments, "Nine o'clock in the morning." β
"Poof......" Du Yanhang immediately understood why Sophie's girl said it so long, after all, what he wrote was to wake herself up immediately after she woke up, and at nine o'clock in the morning, it was very simple.
"Don't laugh!" Sophie glared at Du Yanhang, then turned her head and sat aside.
Du Yanhang moved his body a little, sat up slowly, looked at the surrounding situation, Chonggong Shiori should still be asleep, put on his shoes and was about to wake her up, and set off directly.
"When I woke up, I realized that I hadn't slept in my familiar home at all...... "It was then that Sophie's voice sounded softly.
Du Yanhang immediately stopped his movements, looking at Sophie, who buried her head deeply between her arms, and was inevitably a little worried......
"When I woke up, I remembered that something terrible had happened yesterday......"
Du Yanhang looked at Sophie who was sitting on the side, sighed, and began to move again: "The Holy Grail War, which is what we are experiencing now, will last for a total of seven days, and today is the fourth day. After these seven days, I, Shiori, and the rest of the participants will leave the place, and everything will be back to the way it was. β
"Revert to the status quo ante?" Sophie turned her head and asked with a sad look in her eyes.
"That's what it says, but I don't know exactly how it will be, because it's the first time I've been involved in the Holy Grail War." Du Yanhang stood up, stared at Sophie very seriously and said, "The catastrophe that this city has endured has been brought by us guys, but for some reasons, we can only do this. However, as long as I am alive in this war, I will do my best to protect you and help you save your family. β
Sophie's expression didn't change much, and she didn't make any movements, as if she hadn't heard Du Yanhang's words.
Du Yanhang turned around and walked towards the living room: "Besides, although I shouldn't tell you, it's better to let you know the truth." There's a good chance your family is being targeted by the destroyer because of yourself. β
Sophie frowned: "What the hell is going on?" β
"I'll tell you more about it in a moment."
"And should I hate all of you?"
Du Yanhang's footsteps paused, and he smiled slightly: "If you hate, just hate me, don't hate Shiori, she is a guy who is willing to save even her own enemies!" β
During the day, it is relatively safe to go out, and in the modern city, the servants still can't run rampant, otherwise there will be no conflict only in the night. Du Yanhang, Chonggong Shiori and Sophie, plus Xie Xiaoyun and Zhongjin Jingliu, a total of five people who had just been found on the side, walked to the west. The destination is naturally the hotel where Liang Ruolan and her sisters are.
The distance between the two places is not close, but it is not so far, plus the night before, everyone was competing for the Holy Grail at the Eiffel Tower, and they also needed to rest, so a few people did not choose to take a taxi, and walked directly over to it. During the day, the servants had no way to show their "strength", and without that amazing speed, the group arrived at their destination at about eleven o'clock in the morning......
"Ready to meet her?" Xie Xiaoyun looked at Du Yanhang and asked with some sarcasm in his tone.
"We can't never see each other again." Du Yanhang replied lightly, "Who rings the doorbell?" β
"You!" Xie Xiaoyun and Sophie said at the same time.
Although Du Yanhang asked such a question, he already knew that this would be the result, and put his finger on the doorbell long before they said the word.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong......"
"Who's it?" Inside the door, the voice of a girl as soft as water came out, and it warmed people's hearts......
"Ruolan, it's me." Du Yanhang replied very calmly. However, the girl inside is not so calm......
"Brother Hang? You ...... too. Got into this group? Liang Ruolan was a little nervous in her heart, and at the same time a little frightened.
Before Du Yanhang could speak again, another girl's voice came from the room: "Ruolan, don't worry, he is the master of the ruler who said goodbye." β
When Liang Ruolan heard Luo Qiuyan's words, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and while she was relieved, she was inevitably a little sad...... After a few seconds of pause, Liang Ruolan gently opened the door of the room, and with a little timidity, she glanced at it as if she was peeping......
"Ruolan, and Luo Qiuyan, there is one thing that needs to be discussed."
Twenty minutes. Du Yanhang only explained for 20 minutes, but these 20 minutes, to listen to other people's ears, are as long as 20 hours......
Silence, complete silence, no sound in the entire room, not even the sound of breathing, was suppressed by each of them as best they could.
"Ah...... Ahh Luo Qiuyan didn't know what was going on, and suddenly let out a loud sneeze, breaking the silence, and everyone almost couldn't help laughing.
"Why is there a ...... here? Pander to...... Pander to...... Forehead...... I can't beat it......" Luo Qiuyan rubbed her nose in pain. Seeing this, Liang Ruolan on the side hurriedly asked with concern, "Qiu Yan, what's wrong?" β
"Flower ...... Powder allergies. Luo Qiuyan was so sad that she took a tissue and wiped her nose, "It's too painful!" β
Du Yanhang pouted helplessly: "Then you can slow down for a while." Do you guys have any ideas? β
Xie Xiaoyun looked at Sophie on the side, and then at Liang Ruolan, who was looking sad, and sighed: "Just follow what you said in class." β
Du Yanhang was silent when he heard Xie Xiaoyun say this. Xie Xiaoyun said this, only Sophie and the servants couldn't understand it, and the four masters all understood what she meant. Holy Grail Battlefield Tactics Chapter 2 Article 5: Since there is a chance to get the Holy Grail, as long as it does not conflict with the main task three, you can give up everything else to get the Holy Grail.
"But ......" Liang Ruolan looked at Sophie and lowered her head a little reluctantly. If you want to get the Holy Grail, it is undoubtedly to kill this French girl, but with Liang Ruolan's gentle character, how can she do it?
"It's nothing, getting higher scores, getting better rankings, that's what we should do." Xie Xiaoyun shook her head, and after seeing Du Yanhang's silence, she was a little dissatisfied, "Is there still a need to hesitate in this kind of thing?" On the other side is still Xu Tingting, if you don't want to be abused by that monster, you have to be decisive and cruel! β
Hearing Xie Xiaoyun's words, all the people around them turned their eyes to her.
"That's what I thought, too." Luo Qiuyan said lightly, but before the other people around her could react, she spoke again, "But I won't do it." β
"What do you mean?" Xie Xiaoyun frowned and stared at Luo Qiuyan tightly, not understanding what she was thinking.
"If Du Yanhang's thoughts are the same as yours, if he wants to kill Sophie directly and win the Holy Grail, will he still come here?" Luo Qiuyan didn't say any more code words, and directly said the meaning of the words, and when this sentence was spoken, the entire room exploded instantly......
"Master, what's going on?" Chonggong Shizhi was a little frightened and directly blocked the middle between Sophie and Xie Xiaoyun, and turned his head to Du Yanhang and asked.
Du Yanhang sighed: "The mainstream idea of the Holy Grail battlefield will do whatever it takes to win. β
Hearing Du Yanhang's words, the four servants felt cold in their hearts, and they always felt that there was far more coldness and blood in it than they had ever seen.
Sophie looked at Du Yanhang, and then at Chonggong Shiori, although she heard that she was going to kill herself, but she was not afraid, since it was all at this time, she decided to believe Du Yanhang and Chonggong Shiori, not just what he said this morning, "Protect yourself no matter what", as Luo Qiuyan said, if Du Yanhang wanted to kill Sophie and seize the Holy Grail, he would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now?
"Master, you didn't think of it that way, did you?" After Chonggong Shiori heard Du Yanhang's words, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and he was always afraid that Du Yanhang would suddenly say a result that he couldn't accept......
"No matter what world you are in, people who don't fit in with the surrounding environment will always be indifferent and discriminated against by others, and in this case, there are two options." Du Yanhang did not directly answer Chonggong Shiori's words, and continued his speech, "One is to change yourself and make yourself one with your surroundings, just like most guys. The second is to combine oneself with the only places in this world, and then use one's own strength to change everything else that is different from oneself, which is the approach chosen by people like Qu Yuan. β
"You chose the latter, right?" Xie Xiaoyun furrowed his eyebrows tightly, "Don't forget, you and I are companions, our main quest three, as long as one of them is not completed, it will be considered unfinished." β
"The task is just a program given by the system." Du Yanhang turned his head to look at Xie Xiaoyun, "Choose to be bound by the program, or free to release your heart, my choice goes without saying!" β
Xie Xiaoyun clenched his teeth, not knowing how to deal with what was going to happen next.
"Maybe you care a lot about the results this time, but I don't care, I just ask for a little, no matter what, I have to be worthy of my heart." Du Yanhang continued, his eyes revealing an incredible firmness.
βmasterοΌ Attaboy! Chonggong Shizhi silently gave Du Yanhang a thumbs up in his heart.
"Xie Xiaoyun, although if it were another situation, I would definitely be on your side, but this time I can only choose his side." Luo Qiuyan smiled slightly, "The reason is very simple, because Ruolan, a stupid girl, will definitely help Du Yanhang." β
Liang Ruolan looked up at Luo Qiuyan, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"What do you think?" Du Yanhang glanced back at Poison Island Tsuneko and Yamanai Maitreya, but the firmness in his eyes had disappeared, and only a smile remained.
"Don't ask if you know my choice." Poison Island Tsuneko shook her head, got up and walked over to Shiori Chongmiya, "Ruler, it's almost time to fight side by side again." β
"Maybe I used to be an executive and I would have chosen the other side." Maitreya also stood up, "But that impure man made me change my mind, and I can only feel happy when I am with my companions!" β
"Okay, Xie Xiaoyun, what are you going to do?" Du Yanhang got two answers that he had already expected, and turned his gaze to Xie Xiaoyun again.
