Stray Chapter 101: Benefits are immeasurable
The last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon, and night finally came.
The smell of blood radiates far and far along with the cold night wind in winter. Sen Leng's murderous intention is in the cold night, accompanied by the blooming of coquettish blood flowers, one after another corpses fall down, and the residual heat of the body quickly It was taken away by the coldness of the cold night, and it completely lost its vitality.
Although the battlefield is no longer in the seaside park, it is also near the mouth of the Weiyuan River, but on the other side of the Fuyuki Bridge - it was a gas explosion ten years ago that destroyed the entire seaside park. The port that was rebuilt in Fuyuki City after the nearby buildings and facilities were blown into the sky.
After all, as a seaside city, the port is naturally very important.
The new port is connected to a warehouse street with harbour facilities that cleverly separate the city from the industrial area. And once it's night, there are often no ordinary people here, only dim lights illuminate the streets, and unmanned cranes are neatly arranged in the seaside scene.
On the other hand, this is indeed a mysterious side battleground suitable for avoiding ordinary people.
Probably because both parties understand that once the existence of the Holy Grail enters the sight of more people, there is really no hope for me and others, so the group including Guo Bitt participated in the big stomach competition The players of , all tacitly chose the nearest place as the battlefield.
It seems to be both cautious and greedy, which can be said to be quite contradictory.
However, the tragic battle is finally coming to an end. After exhausting all means to fight in the warehouse street, after staged scenes of encirclement, counterattack, assassination, etc., there are only the last few people left.
"Guo Bit! Hand over the source of the magic, we can spare your life!"
Three diminutive men in a large, empty warehouse, in a triangle shape, surrounded the two-meter-tall giant in the center, threateningly.
"Don't even think about it! Chamberlain! If you have the ability, come and get it yourself!"
The giant man named Guo Bit laughed furiously. Although his injuries were tragic, half of his body was stained with blood, both his own and others'. intend to compromise.
On the contrary, an astonishing aura rose from his body. Due to the continuous hard fighting, serious injuries, blood loss, and other reasons, the dull and tired eyes also shone brightly.
The giant man knew that his result today was inevitable, and he hated himself for letting ghosts bewitched before. Such an end.
Although this is a very normal thing, after all, most people, at least ordinary people with ideas and desires, are actually very easy to fall into such a trap-
Because as long as you understand that the so-called "fulfilling all wishes" must have an upper limit, and the Holy Grail cannot be truly omnipotent, then you will inevitably get a natural conclusion, that is to treat the only To make a wish, you must grasp the "degree" well.
If you use such a precious opportunity to realize a low-level wish, such as collecting seven dragon **** hard, and finally wishing to get a pair of girls' underwear, it is an absolute waste;
But if a wish that exceeds the upper limit is made, the mechanism of the Holy Grail is activated due to the "action" of the wish, but the process is interrupted because the upper limit is exceeded, and nothing is done in the end? After all, there is no previous experience of this kind of thing passed down, and no one dares to guarantee what the wishing mechanism of the Holy Grail is.
Is it not responding to wishes that exceed the upper limit, or no matter what kind of wish the user makes, it will use that huge magic power to try to distort the world, and even if it can't do it at all, it will still be wasted. Precious huge magic power?
So the best outcome is to stick to that line just right and maximize profits.
Guo Bit was also blinded by desire, and irrationally wanted to take the Holy Grail out safely, then find a place where no one could find it to hide, and then slowly think about it.
The result is the way it is now. Although he has come to his senses at this moment, the mistakes he made are fatal... Even if he sees it thoroughly now, he wants to use the Holy Grail to promise to kill the three dwarfs on the opposite side. Wish, at this time, it is impossible for the other party to give him this time again.
"You can think clearly, this is not something that belongs to you. Is it really worth losing your life for it?"
The man who looked thin and short because of his hunched stature frowned, sensing the flaming fighting intent on the giant man's body, and realizing that things were a bit tricky.
The other party seems to have made up his mind that even death will not make the three of them feel better, and may even have the intention of dragging one person on the road.
"It doesn't belong to me, does it belong to you?" Guo Biti said angrily, "I won this openly and honestly, you shameless people, defeated generals, can't beat me in the game, just only Being able to use these indiscriminate methods..."
“…”
“…”
I don't know why, but the scene seemed to be very abruptly silent for a moment.
"Don't talk about that kind of competition..." The short man named Chamberlain twitched a few times, and had the urge to cover his face, "Do you think this kind of thing is honorable?"
"Leave him alone, he's trying to drag the time!"
"Go! Kill him together!"
The other two finally lost their patience, and at the same time they were alert, thinking that if they continued to stand still like this, they would not know what would happen later, and after such a long period of time, the news might have been Leaked out.
If it drags on any longer, they may become prey to others.
The giant roared, welcoming his fate.
……
……
"We...why are we here? Is your housekeeper here?"
Walking down the dim warehouse street, Leticia looked around nervously. She felt a little bit of fear in her heart. She didn't know if it was an illusion. She always felt that there was a faint smell of blood in the air around her.
If it wasn't for Joan of Arc who never made a sound or warned her, she probably couldn't help but be suspicious, thinking in some suspenseful and terrifying directions... But it was also because of the spiritual foundation in her body that she knew that she and the saintess Being there, so this French female high school student can feel at ease.
"No, I'm here because there is an emergency that needs to be dealt with..." Hei Ji pretended to be calm, and ignored the question about the housekeeper.
She still doesn't know why Sir Brad and Sir Stuart haven't come back, and there is no information. It seems that something happened like this, and the world has evaporated...
Even as His Royal Highness Ji Jun, who rules blood and contracts, and the de facto ruler of the Dead Apostles, Ertuluqi can be sure that her two followers are currently in good condition and have not encountered any substantial danger. It was just that some force interfered with the contractual connection between each other, so that she could not accurately locate.
But this is further proof that something must have happened to them.
"Need to deal with emergencies?" The French high school girl with blond hair and braided hair was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the noble girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, "Wait, you are preparing yourself at this time, Coming to a place like this to handle it yourself?"
"Is there a problem?" Eltluqi asked calmly.
"Of course there is a problem!" Leticia didn't know how to explain to this naive little sister, she could only grab the latter's little hand, and wanted to force the other party away from this Hell, "Let's get out of here first!"
"No, I understand your good intentions, but... maybe there are some things you need to know."
Heiji gently broke free from the hand of the French high school girl, realizing that Leticia was well-intentioned, she hesitated for a moment, and felt that it would be better to let this human girl experience the existence of the mysterious world directly.
"The truth about the dark side of this world, if you want to live, just follow me obediently, don't run around..."
It's not difficult to protect this girl, but if you want her to follow you and accept your protection, but you don't know anything, it's very difficult. Hei Ji was not so arrogant that he completely ignored those possible opponents and old enemies, thinking that they were all idiots.
So it's impossible to keep hiding it all the time, or let this human girl see the truth and let her understand the reality that after she came to this city, she was involved in some huge trouble vortex .
This can also avoid some troubles, such as preventing the French girl from having misunderstandings in the future. There was no problem, but she just created the possibility of her own risk.
"Huh?"
Leetixia was stunned, her brain didn't react at all.
Didn't you say that this girl has no problems? Why would you suddenly tell yourself such a thing?
——Sure enough, he is an ordinary person.
Altluqi's reaction to Leticia was completely within her expectations, but she did not intend to explain it to the other party at this time. It is better to see some things. His eyes crossed the entire dim street and looked at a warehouse building.
"It's there, let's go and see, come with me!"
"Ah? Oh oh..." Leticia's thoughts were in confusion, she could only subconsciously respond, and followed Kuroji in a daze.
The door of the warehouse was open, and it was dark inside. With the help of the street lamps outside, the light that entered was obliquely reflected. I could vaguely see the blood-stained ground. Looking at his body, he seemed to be in disbelief.
Not far from him, there was a **** corpse that fell silently to the ground.
A figure like a young lady with a long ponytail and a delicate face, standing quietly about three meters in front of the giant man, holding a magic dress like a pointer in his hand, slightly crooked He shook his head, as if he was contemplating something, and asked at the same time:
"You mean, you were killed once before and... now resurrected?"
"Yes, yes..." The giant nodded subconsciously, acknowledging this absurd fact, whether others believe it or not, at least for him, it was indeed the case.
"Although there is no sign of injury now, but judging from the amount of bleeding and the location of the wound that existed before, this injury can indeed lead to death..." The cold eyes of the indifferent magician girl, Guo Bit quickly glanced around, as if making a judgment in his own words.
After all, the object of resurrection is the giant man himself, the position where his clothes were cut, the blood splattered, etc., the traces left by these desperate battles have not been repaired as before, so the evil-eyed magic guide Marshal, you can easily judge that the facts are not very different from what the other side said.
Of course, there are other possibilities, Lorelai turned to look at the **** corpse not far away:
"Why wasn't he resurrected?"
"No, I don't know..." The giant answered with some lack of confidence. How did he know why the guy who dragged him along the road before he died was not resurrected?
"Then do you have any impression of the process from death to resurrection?" Lorelai raised her eyebrows and asked in a different way, "About the world after death, or your soul After death or something like that..."
The giant man tried his best to recall, and answered uncertainly: "It seems that I didn't know what to do at the time, and I went to a river, where someone was ferrying me to the other side of the river..."
“What is the ferryman like?”
"No, I don't know, I didn't seem to be able to think at all at the time, and my consciousness was all muddled..."
"Think hard! You can remember as much as you can!" Lorelai's indifferent tone had a majesty that was absolutely irresistible.
"Yes, yes..." Guo Bit trembled, nodded hurriedly, racked his brains hard, and thought hard, "The person who punted the boat seemed to be a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl dressed in this country. kimono, black hair, she...she...that's right! She charged me 100,000 yen before sending me across the river!"
"I charged you 100,000 yen?"
"Yes, yes..."
Lorelle frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Go on."
"Then...then on the other side, it was a road that I had no impression of Joan of Arc, and finally I came to a strange space, there was nothing around, only darkness, and another filled the whole space, as if it was The faint silhouette of a black **** as tall as heaven and earth..."
"Then what?" The magician's eyes flickered slightly.
"Then, then... that figure asked me to put my heart on him... on his scale, and then put a piece of white feather on the other side..." Guo Bitt forced me very hard I thought to myself, "I don't know anything after that, and I returned to my body as soon as I opened my eyes..."
"Anubis' Scales of Judgment?" The Magus Marshal girl frowned.
She knew almost instantly what the heart-weighing ceremony was, from Egyptian mythology, the trial of Anubis, using a scale to measure the good and evil of people with feathers.
One end of the scale is the heart of the deceased, and the other end is the feather of truth. If the heart of the deceased is as light as a feather, or lighter than a feather, then the person can ascend to the kingdom of heaven and receive eternal life. If the heart is heavier than a feather, it will be thrown into hell.
It is more in line with the current situation. The innocent can get "eternal life" in disguise, or can be resurrected after death... Then the guilty person died, probably really died?
Although I don't know what the standard of the trial is, whether it is based on the laws of the city or the people's perceptions, and whether it is only the actions of the people being judged in this city, or whether they are jointly punished The Inquisitor's past experience acts to determine the alignment.
But as long as the fundamental nature is understood, these detailed rules can be tested and confirmed later.
However, Lorelei still has doubts, because the black-haired girl in kimono that the giant man said at the beginning of the ferry to collect money is obviously not related to the elements of Egyptian mythology... What is the mastermind behind the different? Are the mythological rituals compounded, or is he lying and hiding part of the truth?
Just when Marshal Magical Commander suspected something, Guo Bitt seemed to think of something, and quickly took out his wallet to take a look, and suddenly exclaimed: "My money is really less than 100,000 yen!" /
“…”
“…”
It doesn't look like a fake, otherwise the acting of this reckless guy is too good. Lorelai's expression was a little weird, and she subconsciously looked at the **** corpse on the other side——
Is that person convicted of a crime, and if he dies, he will die completely...
Or because the money is not enough, even the river cannot be crossed. Although the soul has not been sent to hell, it has not been able to return to the body... The resurrection process is stuck?
If it's the former, then all is well. But if it is the latter, then the mastermind behind the scenes is really a devil!
The magician marshal girl let out a soft breath, then turned around abruptly, and slammed the magic dress like a pointer in her hand! The magic power set off a hurricane and a shock wave, and in the waves that swept all around, it was like a lightning strike of a flash of lightning, like an invisible long whip that fell from the void, blowing the air to shreds!
The dome of the entire warehouse was blown away, and the surrounding walls were also blown to pieces. The blasts burst out from the main entrance of the warehouse, and spread out for hundreds of meters on the long street outside in an instant!
With just a flick of the whip, the terrifying power of the liberation of the Noble Phantasm is released. This shows why she is called the pinnacle of modern magicians. She can really wrestle with the ancestors of the dead apostles. Great figure in the mysterious world.
The eyes of the giant behind him are about to pop out.
"It doesn't look like an ordinary vampire..."
Muttering to herself, Lorelai knew her attack was pointless.
After the smoke and dust outside dissipated, a petite figure appeared at the main entrance of the ruined warehouse, calmly and calmly confronting the magician marshal.
Behind her, the French high school girl with blond hair and braids shivered.
……
……
While the Fantasy Carnival in Fuyuki City is in full swing, in another time and space.
The scarlet sky, the blood-colored clouds rolled, like a sea of blood surging above the sky.
The earth under the blood-colored sky is full of scorching heat, and many places have high-temperature red flows that meander. It is the crimson magma spurting out under pressure along the cracks in the crust, making the air full of It's a pungent sulfurous smell.
Innumerable ferocious demons are fighting on the barren land. I don't know how many there are, like a dense ant colony.
In a corner that no one noticed, a young monk appeared who was incompatible with the painting style of the **** demon army around him. He was wearing a black robe, his eyes were indifferent, and his temperament was pure. He was calm as soon as he appeared. Looked around.
"Well, it's not very suitable. If the fragments are placed in this world, they will simply help him to speed up his recovery..."
The young monk muttered to himself: "Let's keep looking, anyway, there will always be some suitable places for you to find some suitable places..."
At this time, a six-armed snake demon with different weapons rushed over fiercely. It had noticed this unexpected guest who suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Although I don't know why the human beings on the material plane suddenly appeared here, it's just that it has already killed its red eyes and can't care about anything.
So without even thinking about it, I just stepped forward and ripped this weak human to shreds!
"Oh, that's right... I am a merciful Buddha and purify all sentient beings."
The young monk, who had just turned around and was about to leave, seemed to remember something at this time. He turned his head back, put his hands together and said in a low voice, then directly stuck out one hand.
Boom! Thousands of miles of heaven collapsed, and the vacuum shuddered!
A huge and boundless palm descended from the sky, covering the sky and blocking the sun, directly breaking through the boundless cloud layer like a sea of blood, casting a shadow that covered everything, and smashing directly towards the ground!
Each finger seems to be a vast and boundless white jade pillar that stands upright in the sky, as vast and boundless as a sacred mountain, surrounded by golden light, and it is more like a Buddha country in the palm of the palm. Rumbling, as if the world was shaken.
Without giving anyone time to react, almost the entire battlefield was shattered by one palm, the earth plate disappeared, and a huge bottomless pit appeared!
As for the army of demons who were still fighting frantically just a moment ago, they couldn't react and were wiped out by the coefficient, and they were completely ground to dust!
The young monk who protruded out of the Buddha country in his palm and directly shattered thousands of miles of scarlet blood, clapped his palms again like a compassionate Buddha: "Today, I have saved a lot of souls to live in bliss, little monk, I really am The merit is immeasurable..."
Without saying anything, he turned and disappeared into the void.
Leaving only the six-armed snake demon shivering in place, as well as some outer space existences that cast their gazes in horror in the void.
(PS: No matter how you developed it...the day after tomorrow, when I go back to my hometown, I should have a pigeon for a day. After that, I may be busy at home for half a year. I will see how to adjust it... The reason for the poor condition these days is also because this, sorry)
