Just as Yan Feng Qili, who had lost his lancer, relied on his male surname to avoid the possible surname of being killed by Jack the Ripper, and relied on the skills he had honed under his father's teaching, the magic he learned under the master's teaching, and the rich practical experience he gained when he was the "surrogate" of the Templar Church, he was in the "Dragon Cave" of Yuanzang Mountain......

"Huh? Chu Xuan, look at what is pouring out of the Holy Grail! ”

Artoria, who waited quietly for the arrival of eight o'clock in the evening with a full stomach full of questions, kept an eye on the Holy Grail floating in front of her in the nearest position, and was the first to spot the "black mud" that began to fill the Holy Grail.

If it is said that it is the "Holy Blood" contained in the Holy Grail, it is simply the greatest insult to the Lord Christ, even if she does not touch it, Artoria can feel the ugliness and horror of the black mud, just like ...... It's like facing all the negative factors in this world.

Chu Xuan, who had already been mentally prepared, walked up and looked at it twice, and then immediately said to Artoria and the other three who came over here:

"Let's retreat first, no matter how you look at it, this situation is not normal.

Focus on this side, Kiritsugu, remove all trigger traps for the time being, and quickly retreat if there is danger. ”

It was obvious that she was about to win inexplicably, but this kind of accident happened inexplicably, Artoria really couldn't accept it, she retreated under Chu Xuan's order, and muttered to herself while shaking her head:

"Why...... Will this happen? ”

"You also know that this 'Holy Grail War' itself is full of insiders, and now it is natural to have a little more things that we don't know."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and replied in a very calm tone.

Artoria gave him a somewhat complicated look, then turned her face back, staring intently at the wish-granting chalice she had been chasing.

Soon, the black mud filled the Holy Grail, and then overflowed, and instead of slowing down, it tended to rise faster.

"This thing...... Is it in the Holy Grail? ”

Joan of Arc, who was ambushed near the entrance of the cave from afar, preparing to seal the entrance of the cave immediately after the Tosaka side came in to avoid the defeat and escape of the other party, relied on his "revelation" skills to strongly feel the ominousness of those black mud, and although Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuyu Maiya's senses were not as keen as hers, they could also detect the strangeness just by looking at the color of the thing.

In order to prevent the black mud from getting on their feet, Artoria and Chu Xuan kept moving away from the Holy Grail, and the black mud soon accumulated a small mud pond under the Holy Grail, but the black mud continued to gush out from the Holy Grail, expanding the range of the mud pond more and more.

As the black mud increased, Chu Xuan and the others seemed to see wisps of black aura appear above the mud pond, and they kept swaying as if they were alive, as if they wanted to catch something, just like vicious black snakes.

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at the Holy Grail he had wanted to pursue from afar with his emotionless eyes, and then took the initiative to ask Chu Xuan:

"Chu Xuan, what should I do now?

If we go any further, we will have to exit this cave. ”

Now, even if Chu Xuan made the decision to give up the Holy Grail, he wouldn't feel much regret, the black mud flowing from that Holy Grail was full of very unpleasant feelings, he didn't think that the Holy Grail filled with this kind of thing would make people gain any benefits for no reason.

"You guys stand back a little longer, and I'll go over and study that thing."

In the face of these black mud that obviously did not look like good things, Chu Xuan actually made a rash decision that everyone absolutely did not expect, which had to make people have some doubts, Artoria hesitated for a moment, and then stopped him, and asked a little hesitantly:

"Chu Xuan! You...... Isn't there a ...... What is being hidden from us? Or...... What else do you know? ”

“……”

Chu Xuan, who took the initiative to walk towards the black mud, stopped, turned around and swept everyone's faces one by one, and then asked expressionlessly:

"Do you believe me?"

"Hmm...... Believe...... bar. ”

Despite some hesitation, Artoria and Joan of Arc, who was standing next to the entrance to the cave, nodded, and Kiritsugu Emiya, who was standing behind Joan of Arc, and his loyal assistant Maiya Kuyu did not give an affirmative answer, but they did not deny it either.

"Well, believe in me until the end."

Chu Xuan said this in a voice as smooth and uninhibited as ever, as boring as a machine, and then immediately turned around and stepped into the black mud that had risen to his feet, without taking any defensive measures.

Then, Chu Xuan's eyes went dark, and the next second he appeared under the starry sky...... On the school field?

This is not very big, the artificial turf has been obviously worn out of the school field Chu Xuan is very familiar with, because this is ......

"This is the place where your wishes can be granted, the inner side of the Holy Grail you seek."

Chu Xuan turned around, and instead of a girl who always showed a smile like the sun of spring, and her eyes were so bright that it seemed as if a supernova was exploding in them, it was his wife, Alice Field.

"I knew you were coming, and I'm sure you'd be here."

Alice Phil wore the same long dress as usual, and said the same words in the same tone as usual.

However, Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said unusually coldly:

"Whoever you are, don't talk to me by pretending to be Ellie."

"Looks like ...... You seem to have a lot of secrets in you that even your wife doesn't know......"

Alice Phil didn't immediately pick up Chu Xuan's words, but looked around a little curiously before speaking:

"I don't deny that it's a façade and that I can't communicate with others without putting on the shell of a ready-to-exist price.

However, the personality of Alice Phil that I have recorded is absolutely genuine, so I have inherited her last wish. ”

Faced with his deceased wife's explanation, Chu Xuan did not waver in the slightest, and said to her calmly and indifferently:

"Don't try to deceive me anymore, since you have inherited everything from Ellie, you should know that you can't deceive me at all.

Even if you have copied Alice Phil's personality and memories in its entirety, you are no longer Alice Phil because you have added so many other things to it.

Explain your intentions, the will of the Holy Grail...... No, Angola? Manuel's will. ”
