Act 22: Death and Blackness and Intrigue (Part I)
There is only one road leading to the neighborhood in front of you.
The street lamps above both sides are like lighthouses in the dark night, bringing light to this dark place.
In anticipation of tomorrow morning, in the passing time, Natsume's memories returned to the past.
Not a long past, but a not so long past.
In fact, human memory is a very complex existence.
Sometimes, what you want to remember is easily forgotten, and what you want to forget is remembered.
Happy people mostly have misfortunes that they want to forget, while unhappy people have happiness that they want to remember.
These two different aspects are connected by something called memory.
Looking at the black clouds overhead, without the slightest variegation, Natsume immediately remembered the Servant wrapped in dark flames, that is, Berserker.
At that time, when he was attacked by Berserker, Natsume heard the other party say that sentence, and a feeling of irritability came out of his heart.
Not knowing whether to worry or be afraid, Natsume had doubts and concerns about what Berserker had mentioned.
If that's the case, shouldn't I have taken action sooner?
Until then, Natsume won't tell anyone what Berserker said to himself.
That's a secret, and you can't speed up other people's secrets.
At the same time, it is also a secret about his current identity.
This reality makes Natsume feel like everything she does is predestined to be haode, controlled by a creature called 'God'.
I hammered my head with my hand, and my drowsy brain was much more sober under the pain.
Get up to speed. Natsume ran forward.
One hand propped up on the fence. Natsume looked over and saw the alley below.
It was an alley behind a residential building. Sewage and garbage littered the ground, and the only clean place was near the exit.
Stepping on the ground, Natsume discovers that there is a doll underneath his feet.
Big eyes, a body covered with stains, and lifeless pupils staring at Natsume, which is really unpleasant.
After kicking it away, past a garbage bag that looked like it contained a syringe, Natsume saw rubbing against the wall. Difficult to move forward with men.
He was hunched over with a demeanor, and the sound of coughing came from his mouth from time to time.
Pulling out the knife that had been handed to him by Maiya Kuyu near his waist earlier, Natsume quickened his pace.
On the way, they passed the ground below where pipes had been installed, and there, there were tiny bugs struggling in blood.
It is a marker worm.
Filthy and constantly wriggling, disgusting.
Looking up, Natsume saw a figure turning towards the exit.
Feed!
Making a sound, the gesture caught his eye.
Natsume hesitated, picked up the knife and rushed over.
Damn it!
The figure made such a sound, and he coughed as he leaned against the wall. Blood and bugs protrude from the mouth.
His gaze fell on Natsume, and he waved his hand. A large number of bugs spread their wings from the front, and at the same time, this action caused the hat he was wearing to slip off his head.
The engraver worm has already gnawed at this person, and the flesh and blood of the night of the wild goose have been integrated into the nerves.
Under the prolonged torture, the nerves in the left half of his body were almost paralyzed, and he could barely move his left leg and left arm.
The shili in the left eye disappeared completely, and the muscles around the eye were completely paralyzed. In just three months, his hair turned white, and his skin was bloody, turning a ghostly earthy gray. Because his face is almost disfigured, he has the habit of wearing a hood and covering his face when he goes out, so his appearance is clearly seen by Natsume.
Coughing loudly, then driving the bugs.
It was a swarm of the Tick Worm, and Natsume knew that the knife was no longer effective, so he took down the weapon behind him.
Unfold, output, and the magic loop starts working immediately.
The next moment, it's light.
It is brighter than the street lights above the top of the slope.
The black-red claw-like attack shredded all the insects, instantly blocking the attack of the wild goose.
Natsume gathered his arms and ran towards the night of the wild goose while carrying it on his back.
His throat seemed to be burned, his expression contorted, and he thought that his second cough had been interrupted, and a large amount of blood spilled from his mouth, and the insect marks on his face wriggled to the bottom of his eyes.
The white one lost Shili's left eye and covered it with his hand, and the remaining right eye confirmed Natsume's figure.
It's too slow.
Natsume thought as she thrust the trail into the other's neck.
Maki Yanya raised his right hand, and the palm of his right hand that intervened in the attack track was instantly pierced by Natsume.
Ahh!!!!h
With a roar, Makiri Yanya kicked out, and Natsume dodged sideways, but was bitten by a bug that suddenly appeared, and the clothes and skin on his right shoulder disappeared instantly.
The Berserker would not have been summoned at this time, because the previous summoning had already exceeded his burden.
In order to save the liliang summoned next, Ma Tong Yanye will not easily use Berserker's liliang.
Controlling the swarm to protect himself, the wild goose waits for Natsume at night.
Cloudy eyes looked over.
Who are you.
That's what he meant, Natsume thought, and distanced himself from the wild goose.
At first, he was going to kill the other party, but Natsume thought of another way on the spur of the moment.
So he spoke.
Do you want to save Sakura Tosaka?
Kindness?!
His eyes widened in surprise, and his body slid down the wall.
Some weakly wiped the blood from his mouth with his left hand, Yan Ye wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, there would be a gurgling sound of blood foam, and his body had reached a limit without rest.
The stench hovered between the two, and the wild goose stopped the swarm's attack, not because he believed Natsume, but because he wanted to know what he was going to say next.
His own Berserker is the strongest, and Yan Ye has always thought so, but it is also difficult to defeat all the Heroic Spirits.
Goose Night understands that this will not end easily, and she can do anything to save Sakura.
So, Yan Ye swallowed his own blood and insects in one bite and spoke
"I will never forgive you...... You filthy magicians......! I'm going to kill you...... Dirty inkstone too! You too! Kill them all!! ”
"But you can't."
"No kidding! Ugly magician! I'm going to kill those little kids who use them as tools, all of them! All! All! ”
"Until then, I'll kill Aoi Tosaka and Sakura Tosaka for you."
"What did you say?!"
"That's interesting." (To be continued......)
