Magician in Type-Moon

Page 278

The door was pushed open, and sunlight streamed in through the crack as a sound was heard.

The person who made the door-opening gesture and spoke was Ryougi Shiki.

After she stepped out of the gradually ascending elevator, she found herself suddenly in the central hospital of Kanbushi City.

Driven by an instinct to uncover the unusual, they arrived at the only occupied hospital room.

Before the people inside could make a move...

After greeting everyone in a sharp tone, Ryougi Shiki walked to the bedside without even sitting down, and looked at the guy in the room with a cold gaze.

Faced with that almost cruel gaze, the person sitting on the hospital bed, bathed in sunlight, nodded, which was considered an answer to Ryougi Shiki's question.

She seemed to feel both pleased and disgusted.

Like a patient with dissociative identity disorder who has not yet been cured.

After a moment of silence between the two.

On her sickbed, Misaya Huanglu raised her head and looked at Ryougi Shiki, then suddenly asked:

"Are you here to kill me?"

"I don't know," Ryougi Shiki replied with a nod.

She truly didn't know what she was supposed to do; Matou Ike had only instructed her to find this person, not to kill her.

After hearing Ryougi Shiki's answer, Misaya Huanglu simply nodded silently and said nothing more.

"Are you waiting to be killed?" Ryougi Shiki suddenly asked.

The woman in front of him, named Misaya Kojima, completely extinguished Ryougi Shiki's interest in killing.

Although this guy looks like he's just waiting to die.

Or perhaps she was already close to death.

Misaya Huanglu seemed to have her thoughts read, and paused for a moment before answering, "Yes."

"I see. So that means the ritual will end as soon as you die?"

Ryougi Shiki asked again.

"Yes."

Huang Lumei replied at night.

"That's really a headache, after all, all I know is killing people." Ryougi Shiki rubbed her forehead and sighed. "Really, how did I end up getting involved with you weirdos?"

"Feel sorry."

The woman's voice remained as bland as plastic, while Ryougi Shiki squinted, trying to figure out what was so strange about this person in front of her.

"Your body is very strange. Starting from the late-stage malignant sarcoma, the condition of your internal organs is extremely serious. But your appearance is no different from that of a normal person. Is this also part of the ritual?"

Chapter 338 The Garden of Sinners (19)

“Witch Kirie? That can’t be right. How could she die here? According to you, the foundation of this ritual was created using this girl’s talent. If she’s dead, although her body can still function, it wouldn’t be enough to support such a large-scale ritual.”

Medea objected to the answer given by Matouchi.

Matou Ike simply chuckled and then replied:

"What if she could be brought back to life?"

"Resurrection? How is that possible? In the current state of mystery, it's simply impossible. Unless you have something like the Holy Grail, which is based on the Third Law, you can't achieve a perfect resurrection."

Medea blurted out her disapproval, but she immediately realized what Matouchi meant.

"Are you saying they plan to use this ritual to resurrect the girl, and then use her to enhance the effect of the entire ritual?"

“That’s right. I think Araya Souren’s ritual is now only in two stages. Although the base, Wuzhao Kirie, is dead, her body still retains the ability of ‘Wuqing’. As the base for a small-scale ritual, it’s still possible to encompass two or three people.”

Matou Ike picked up where he left off and continued:

"Now, as long as there is a body that has been magically modified and tuned to be suitable for Wujou Kirie, and Wujou Kirie's original 'consciousness record', her personal past and future can be drawn into that body."

"Then the soul ether of Wutiao Wuhui will also be gathered together again because its consciousness has reached the state of 'eternity'."

“Even the power of ‘Witch Cleansing’ will be enhanced because it has reached the state of eternity.”

As Matou Ike spoke, he checked the condition of the corpse in the distance.

Only after ruling out any danger did I stroll towards that place.

"Then why bother?"

Medea finally became interested in this miracle performed by a modern magician. Before this, she had only asked casually or helped Matou Ike clarify his thoughts through a question-and-answer format.

"You mean why we need to kill off Kirie? Because if she doesn't die, the past part can't be completed..."

Matou Ike walked to the corpse and stopped, carefully examining the mangled pile of flesh before him.

After examining the magical structure beneath it with his magic eye, he...

Then Matou Ike stretched out his hand, and a radiant light in the form of a spirit particle emanated from it.

——Rule Breaker, the blade that breaks all rules and grants all blessings.

A conceptual Noble Phantasm that brings the life of the witch Medea to life.

A short sword that can break all kinds of magic tricks.

Those objects enhanced by magic, bound by a contract,

And a magic-resistant artifact that restores life created with magic to its original state.

"The principles of art encompass all principles; all phenomena in the world ultimately return to their origin. — All talismans must be broken!"

With a low shout, he plunged his dagger into the ground.

Instantly, the magical energy channels that were originally hidden in the spell broke apart along the ground, like threads that had been suddenly torn.

Blinding light burst forth from the broken spell, the entire city seemed to tremble, and the distorted phantom gradually blurred, but...

"So it still doesn't work? I was hoping to use a shortcut..." Matou Ike frowned, looking at the spell patterns that were gradually recovering on their own, and sighed.

"These techniques are perpetuated by divinity. Even if I use my Noble Phantasm to sever this concept, it will automatically regenerate."

Medea, seeing that her Noble Phantasm had failed to achieve Matou Ike's desired goal, analyzed the reasons for the failure.

Matou Ike nodded, then said:

"Is that so? Let's go then."

"Where to go?"

"It's definitely the strangest place in the city."

As soon as he finished speaking, Matou Ike flew upwards into the sky, surveyed the entire city, and finally aimed at a certain direction before charging off.

......

When faced with Ryougi Shiki's question, Misaya Huanglu did not avoid her gaze, but looked at her frankly and nodded slightly, as if the matter no longer needed to be concealed.

Then, as if noticing Ryougi Shiki's confusion, she even kindly explained it to her.

“You’ve been investigating for so long, you should know about Kirie, right?” She paused for two seconds, seemingly to confirm whether Ryougi Shiki knew the name. “My body is being gradually transformed into her likeness.”

"Huh? Did you do this willingly? Being like this must be worse than death, right?"

Ryougi Shiki spoke as if she were very happy.

“It was voluntary,” Misaya Huanglu replied.

Upon hearing this answer, Ryougi Shiki seemed to suddenly lose interest and leaned against a wall in a daze.

"You two aren't in that kind of relationship, are you?"

"What?" Huang Lu Meisha asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's that kind of relationship between two women... that kind of... lily-like relationship."

Ryougi suddenly remembered how she felt when she was being looked at with those kinds of eyes by other girls during her investigation at Reien.

"Pfft, haha." Misaya Huanglu suddenly laughed. "You're really quite interesting. But I already have someone I like. As for Wuzhao, she's just a close friend of mine..."

“A close friend…” Ryougi Shiki pursed her lips and then murmured, it was unclear what she was thinking.

......

The strangest place that Matouike mentioned was naturally the hospital located in the center of the city.

Flying over the deserted city, Matou Ike quickly arrived outside the ward that had been reserved for Wujou Kirie.

Looking through the glass window of the ward, Matou Ike caught a glimpse of an unexpected figure—Genki Satsuki.

"You've arrived at just the right time." Xuanwu Gaoyue's figure was standing by the window, quietly looking down at the scene outside.

"Only your soul and consciousness remain here. Even the underworld doesn't want you? Or is Araya Sōren just using you as a rag, something to be discarded after use?"

Matou Ike did not respond to his words, but simply said...

Genki Satsuki ignored Matou Ike's sarcasm, simply shook her head, and then smiled as she said:

"Of course not. It's just that I've already gotten what I wanted, so living and dying have no meaning for me."

"Huh? How come you've learned to lie now? You're staying here to ensure that Wujou Kirie's 'past' can arrive smoothly, right?"

Genmu Satsuki, who was exposed to his face, did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he laughed even more happily.

It was a genuine joy, completely different from the fake smile that had been plastered on his face before.

"I'm so sorry, it's my first time lying, and I'm not very good at it yet."

Chapter 339 The Garden of Sinners 4k (Twenty)

Although there was a window between them, Matou Ike could feel Genki Satsuki's joy at achieving his life goal.

This man is absolutely despicable.

Even Mr. Ryunosuke Uryu, the murderer from the Holy Grail War, was not half as wicked as him.

"Where is Huang Lu Meisha at night? In the misty moonlight."
