There is a great terror between life and death, life is born with the task of reproducing offspring and expanding its own race, and death is the inhibiting force of this process. Any intelligent life has a deep fear of death, and among them, intelligent beings such as humans are the most prosperous.

But the so-called forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, even though most people are afraid of death, especially the dead bodies of the same kind that have passed away. There will always be one or two freaks.

Ryunosuke, a young and handsome young man, is such a freak who likes to study "human death". How exactly the process of death happens, how it evolves, and how it ends. As for what kind of state people will show in the face of death, and what kind of mood they have, Yusheng Ryunosuke has a great interest.

The heart that beats in the chest and pumps out warm blood; peristalsis of the large and small intestines as well as the digestive tract; Punchy airflow from the lungs, two powdery white parenchymal respiratory organs...... The process by which these life-rich things finally turn into rotten flesh made Ryunosuke Yusheng feel a strong interest.

In any case, he wondered what the essence of the phenomenon that the term "death" represented.

In a way, Ryunosuke Rain is a gifted researcher.

His intellectual talent is very high, and he was able to read through Chinese, English and other foreign language books as early as his student days. And how to effectively explore the mystery of the unknown, he also has a unique ability.

Although no one taught him – and certainly no one would teach him, the closest human being can get to death is medicine, but it is a savior that studies death in order to save the lives of others – he still finds the means to get closer to his goal without being taught.

His knowledge of death comes from "experimental observations" that conform to the spirit of modern science.

So far, he has killed dozens of people with his own hands, including old and young, men and women, high and low status, and even Ryunosuke Yusui's own family or friends. According to statistics, this is to make the sampling process more "objective", so that the final sample can better reflect the sample population.

And the ways in which he allowed his observations to die were equally varied.

Stab wounds, suffocation, burning, bleeding, crushing...... There are many ways to let fragile beings step into the River Styx, and in order to observe the test subject, Ryunosuke Rain sometimes deliberately slows down the process of ending the life of the test subject, and let the process of death go slowly, even for half a day.

After years of "painstaking research", Ryunosuke Yusheng's attainments in his own research field have gradually become superb.

He learned many things, such as that the fragility and tenacity of human life are not opposed to each other; For example, before death, a person will exhibit the most colorful behavior of his life; The attitude towards death varies from person to person, and this attitude will be repeated many times as death progresses, and so on. A person's behavior before death is like a microcosm of a person's life experiences and the interaction of all the elements that make up that person. This makes Ryunosuke Yusheng more and more profound.

The search for death points to the essence of life. His profound "experience and knowledge" gave him a distorted, but yet philosopher-like depth of speculation and a deep understanding of people, which also gave him a unique temperament full of charm that could not be explained.

Ryunosuke Yusheng can be like a true gentleman, making everyone around him feel like a spring breeze. That distorted but strong personality charm strongly attracts the opposite sex. Every time Ryunosuke Yusheng goes to bars, nightclubs, and other places to look for his next experiment, he can always easily find the opposite sex who has thrown himself into the net.

However, recently, Ryunosuke Yusheng has fallen into a low state of "no passion".

He has killed more than 30 people in a row, tried various methods of execution and torture. From the seventh onwards, the reactions of his subjects to death began to recur. It also made him feel a little tired.

Until he met his "mentor and friend".

It all started with a book that Ryunosuke Yusheng found in his warehouse.

After feeling that his passion has been lost, Ryunosuke Yusheng secretly returns to his hometown in order to "regain his original intention".

In the warehouse of his own house, the first victim after the "awakening" of Ryunosuke Yusheng, his biological sister, sleeps.

His silent sister didn't give him any unique feelings, and in his disappointment, Ryunosuke Yusheng stumbled upon an old, moth-eaten book in his warehouse.

This is a magic book that contains knowledge about summoning demons.

This demon summoning book gives Ryunosuke Yusheng a new stimulus, and will death as a ritual and sacrifice have other meanings? And is the knowledge about demon summoning recorded in this book true or false?

In the eyes of Ryunosuke Yusheng, human life is not worth mentioning compared to his own pursuit. He immediately began to prepare materials and practice the drawing of the magic circle and the chanting of the incantation, and after four failures and nearly ten lives wasted, Ryunosuke Yusheng finally "succeeded".

And the "demon" he summoned was also a murderous maniac.

In fact, one of the ancestors of the Yusheng family was also a magician. Although the knowledge of magic and the occult has gradually been lost in the course of history, the sword of the jade dragon has no magical literacy and related occult knowledge, and the inferior magic circle drawn by Ryunosuke Yusheng and the irregular chanting book cannot summon demons. However, in the process of evading pursuit, Ryunosuke Yusheng came to Fuyuki City by chance at the beginning of the Holy Grail War.

As mentioned earlier, the source of the Holy Grail War lies in the Holy Grail. Bestow the Masters with the qualifications and spells of the Master, and the Holy Grail that summons the Servants from Valhalla.

Ryunosuke's summoning ritual aroused the attention of the Holy Grail, and he became the seventh master of the Holy Grail War, the master of Caster.

And the "demon" he summoned was actually the heroic spirit of Caster's job, "Bluebeard" Gilles de Les.

The French marshal of the Hundred Years' War was one of the earliest generals to join Joan of Arc. From 1427 to 1435, Gilles served as a senior commander of the army, participating in and directing operations against the English army, during which time he was appointed Marshal of France. He performed well at the Battle of Orleans in 1428 and the Sweep of the Loire Valley the following year. He attended the coronation of King Charles VII of France in Reims. When Paris was under siege, he fought alongside Joan of Arc, and the year after Joan of Arc was burned to death by the British, he defeated the Duke of Bedford, demonstrating his military prowess. It was not until 1435 that he completely retired.

After Joan of Arc was captured, he retired to the domains of Mashkule and Tiffoři, and immersed himself in the study of alchemy. Hoping to discover the secrets of alchemy with the help of blood, he tortured more than 300 children to death and was later burned at the stake. As a result, he has become one of the realistic prototypes of the villain "Bluebeard" in Western fairy tales.

The Dark Wizard's dress, words and deeds, adorned with various gold and silver jewelry, walked on a path similar to that of Ryunosuke Yusui. As a summoned "demon", he not only has a human skin book in his hand that is very in line with the aesthetics of Ryunosuke Yusheng, but also has the power of magic. All this made Ryunosuke Yusheng extremely excited. And the "demon" summoned by himself has a similar view of death to himself, and at the same time surpasses it.

When Jill Dresse was first summoned, Ryunosuke Yubu prepared a child as a sacrifice to the demon according to the contents of the book in his hand. The way Gilles de Les "eats" this sacrifice makes the five bodies that Yusheng Ryunosuke admires fall to the ground.

Gilles de Les pretended to let the boy go, but let the water demon kill him at the last moment when the boy was about to escape.

Gilles de Rice's theory is: "Fear is a thing that has its novelty. When human beings are faced with the threat of death and suffering, if they are stimulated for too long, they will gradually become numb and their feelings will gradually die. The real horror should not be this numbing static, but the dynamism of despair. Just as the darkness where the light does not shine, the darkness will appear deeper under the light side. The transition from hope to despair, this fresh fear, despair, and death that comes out of the state of numbness, is what true fear should be. ”

Ryunosuke Yusheng was almost moved, and what Gilles de Les showed him was the sublimation of his ideas. I don't know what biological organ or cloth ball should be used to describe it, the water demon that is crushing every inch of the little boy's bones and swallowing it must be some kind of disgusting and forbidden thing in the eyes of ordinary people. But in the eyes of Ryunosuke Yusheng, it is a wonderful coffin.

This is the aesthetics of death that he has always understood in his heart, but has not yet become clear about.

Two homicidal demons, linked by the Holy Grail.

"That's what I've learned about Master Caster and Caster."

After listening to Zhao Yun's report, Jian Tongyan's brows furrowed.

"So Caster's side has no idea about the Holy Grail at all, right?"

The voice of the spirited Zhao Yun was directly conveyed to Yan Ye's mind:

"That's right, even the abduction of children and the murder of innocent citizens that they committed during this time were not magic ceremonies for the victory of the Holy Grail War. It's just a simple desire to kill. ”

"I see, what about Lancer and his Master?"

"The Lancer's Master seems to have activated a rather interesting magic costume with strong defense. The free fall at a height of 150 meters did not pose a threat to their lives. Including the Lancer Master, the Lancer, and a woman suspected to be the Lancer Master's lover all landed safely. After that, I followed their course of action and found the place where they were now temporarily settled. Do you need to launch a surprise attack? ”

It was already the next night, and after a day's rest, Jian Tong Yanye's spirit was much better, and he said:

"No, the reason why I want to know about the situation on the Lancer side is that I want to sign a contract with the Lancer when the Lancer Master leaves."

Jian Tong Yanye said with some incomprehension:

"I can't even estimate the age of that old monster, but according to the clues recorded by the Maki family, he is at least 200 years old. It is extremely rare for even a magician to live to such a long age. And his body actually has the same smell as the worms in the cellar all year round. I suspect that his body has long since decayed, and now he is only surviving on his own insect magic. ”

"If that's the case, then the body of the dirty inkstone should now be made of bugs. And among them there should be one or even several brain worms that are used to store the core of his consciousness. If you want to kill him, you have to kill it along with the brain worm. It's not easy to kill the brainworm, at least I don't know how to find the brainworm and solve the brainworm without any sequelae. ”
