lost narrative poem

Chapter 731
The last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon, and night finally fell.

The smell of blood disperses far and far along with the cold night wind in winter. The cold murderous intent is in the cold night. With the blooming of bewitching blood flowers, corpses fall one by one, and the residual heat of the body is quickly absorbed by the cold night. The coldness was taken away, and the vitality was completely lost.

Although the battlefield is no longer in the Seaside Park, it is also near the mouth of the Miyuan River, but on the other side of the Fuyuki Bridge—it was ten years ago when a gas explosion destroyed the entire Seaside Park and the surrounding area. Fuyuki City rebuilt the port after the buildings were blown up into the sky.

After all, as a seaside city, the port is naturally very important.

The new port is connected to a warehouse street, equipped with harbor facilities, and cleverly separates the city from the industrial area.And once it's night, there are often no ordinary people here, only dim lights illuminating the streets, and unmanned cranes are neatly arranged on the beach scene.

On the other hand, this is indeed a mysterious side battlefield suitable for avoiding ordinary people.

Probably because both sides understand that once the existence of the Holy Grail comes into the sight of more people, there is really no hope for themselves and others, so the group of contestants, including Guo Bit, who participated in the Big Eater Competition , they all chose the nearest place as the battlefield in a very tacit agreement.

It can be said that it is quite contradictory to appear cautious and greedy at the same time.

However, the tragic fight was finally coming to an end. After all the street fighting on the warehouse street, encirclement, counterattack, assassination and so on, only the last few people remained.

"Guo Bit! Hand over the source of magic power, and we can spare your life!"

Three short men formed a triangle in a large empty warehouse, surrounded the two-meter-tall giant in the center, and threatened fiercely.

"Don't even think about it! Chamberlain! If you have the ability, come and get it yourself!"

The giant man named Guo Bit smiled angrily. Although the injuries on his body were terrible, and half of his body was stained with blood, both his own and others'.

On the contrary, an astonishing aura rose from his body. Due to continuous hard fighting, serious injuries, blood loss and other reasons, his eyes that seemed dull and tired were also brightened, and he didn't know if it was a flash of light or something.

The giant man knows that his result today is inevitable, and he also hates himself for being confused by ghosts before. He is not willing to give up the source of magic power, nor is he willing to squander the precious opportunity to use it so easily, and finally ended up in such a fate .

Although this is a very normal thing, after all, the vast majority of 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" has an upper limit, and the Holy Grail cannot be omnipotent in the true sense, then you will inevitably come to a natural conclusion, that is, to treat the only chance to make a wish, You must grasp the "degree" well.

If such a precious opportunity is used to realize a low-level wish, like collecting seven dragon balls and finally wishing to get a pair of girls' underwear, it is an absolute waste;
But what if a wish that exceeds the upper limit is made, and the mechanism of the Holy Grail is activated because of the "behavior" of wishing, but the process is interrupted because the upper limit is exceeded, and nothing is achieved in the end?After all, there is no previous experience in this kind of thing, and no one dares to guarantee what the wishing mechanism of the Holy Grail is like.

Does it not respond 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, even if it can't be done at all, it will still squander that precious huge magic?
Therefore, the best result is to stick to that boundary line just right and strive to maximize the benefits.

Guo Bitter 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, and then think about it slowly.

The result is what it is now. Although he has come to his senses at this moment, the mistakes he made are fatal... Even if he sees it through now, he wants to use the Holy Grail to make a wish to kill the three dwarves on the opposite side. At this time, it is impossible for the other party to give him this time.

"You can think about it clearly. This is not your thing. Is it really worth losing your life for it?"

The man, who looked thin and short because of his rickets, frowned. He noticed the burning fighting spirit on the giant man, and understood that things were a little tricky.

The other party seemed to have made up his mind that even death would not make it easier for the three of them, and he might even have the intention to drag one of them on the road.

"It doesn't belong to me, doesn't it belong to you?" Gobitt said angrily, "I won this openly. You shameless people, defeated under your hand, can't beat me in the game, so you can only use these Despicable methods..."

"..."

"..."

I don't know why, but the scene seemed to be very abruptly silent for a moment.

"Let's not talk about that kind of competition..." The short man named Chamberlain twitched a few times, with the urge to cover his face, "Do you think this kind of thing is very honorable?"

"Leave him alone, he's trying to buy time!"

"Go! Kill him together!"

The other two finally lost their patience, and at the same time became alert, thinking that if this stalemate continues, they don't know what will happen later, and such a long period of time has passed, the news may have leaked out .

If it drags on, they may become the prey of others.

The giant roared angrily, welcoming his fate.

……

……

"Why... why are we here? Is your housekeeper here?"

Walking on the dim warehouse street, Leticia looked around with some trepidation, and she felt a wave of fear in her heart. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that there seemed to be a bloody smell in the air around her.

If it wasn't for Joan's silence and warning, she probably couldn't help but suspect and think in some suspenseful and terrifying directions... But it's also because of the spirit foundation in her body, knowing that she is with the saint, That's why this French female high school student can feel confident.

"No, I came here because there is an emergency that needs to be dealt with..." Hei Ji said pretending to be calm, her eyes wandering over the question about the butler.

She still couldn't figure out why Brad and Stuart didn't come back, and she didn't have any information. It seemed that something happened like this, and the world disappeared...

Even as His Royal Highness Ji Jun who controls blood and contracts, and the actual ruler of the Dead Apostles, Alte Lucy can be sure that her two followers are currently in good condition and have not encountered any real danger. The power interfered with the contractual connection between each other, making it impossible for her to locate accurately.

But this also further proves that something definitely happened to them.

"A sudden situation needs to be dealt with?" The French high school girl with blond braids froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the aristocratic girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, "Wait, you are going to come to this kind of situation by yourself at this time." Is the local government handling this matter in person?"

"Is there a problem?" Eltruchi asked calmly.

"Of course there is a problem!" Leticia didn't know how to explain to this too naive little sister, she could only hold the latter's little hand, and wanted to forcefully take her away from this ghost place, "Let's get out of here first!"

"No, I understand your kindness, but... maybe there are some things that need to be known to you."

Hei Ji gently broke free from the palm of the French female high school student, knowing that Letitia had good intentions, she hesitated a little, thinking that it would be better for this human girl to directly experience the existence of the mysterious world.

"About the truth about the dark side of this world, if you want to live, just follow me obediently and don't run around..."

It is not difficult to protect this girl, but it is very difficult if you want her to be by your side and accept your protection without knowing anything.Nor is Hei Ji so arrogant that she doesn't pay attention to those possible opponents and old enemies at all, thinking that they are all chickens and dogs.

So it's impossible to hide it all the time, let this human girl see the truth directly, let her understand the reality that after she came to this city, she was involved in a huge whirlpool of trouble.

This can also avoid some troubles, for example, to prevent the French girl from having misunderstandings in the future. There is no problem in the first place, but the possibility of creating risks by herself.

"Eh?"

Leticia froze, her brain completely unresponsive.

Didn't it mean that this girl has no problems?Why would you suddenly tell yourself this kind of thing?

——Sure enough, he is an ordinary person.

Eltruchi expressed that she had expected Leticia's reaction, but she didn't intend to explain it to her at this time. Some things are better seen than believed. Her gaze spanned the whole world. A dark street, looking towards a warehouse building.

"It's there, let's go and have a look, follow me!"

"Ah? Oh..." Leticia's thoughts were in a mess, she could only respond subconsciously, and followed Hei Ji in a daze.

The door of the warehouse was open, and it was dark inside. With the help of the street lamps outside, the incoming light was slanted, and the blood-stained ground could be vaguely seen. There was a sturdy two-meter-long man sitting on the ground in a daze, looking down at himself. The body seems to be unbelievable.

Not far from him, there was a bloody corpse, which fell quietly on the ground. The pool of blood under his body had already solidified, and his vitality was completely lost.

With a long ponytail and a delicate face like a young lady, she stood quietly about three meters in front of the giant man, holding a magic dress like a pointer in her hand, tilting her head slightly, He seemed to be thinking about something, and at the same time asked:
"You mean, you were killed once before, and then... resurrected now?"

"Yes, yes..." The giant nodded subconsciously, acknowledging this absurd fact, no matter whether others believe it or not, at least for him, this is indeed the case.

"Although there are no signs of injury now, judging from the amount of bleeding and the location of the previous wound, this injury is indeed fatal..." The cold eyes of the indifferent magician girl looked at Guo Bit After a quick glance, he made a judgment as if talking to himself.

After all, the object of death and resurrection is the giant man himself. The places where his clothes were cut, the blood splashed on him, etc., these traces left by the desperate battle have not been repaired as before, so the vicious magician Marshal can It is easy to judge that the facts are not very different from what the other party said.

Of course, there are other possibilities, Lorelei turned to look at the bloody corpse not far away:

"Why didn't he come back to life?"

"No, I don't know..." The giant man replied with some lack of confidence. How did he know why the guy who dragged him on the road with him before he died didn't come back to life?
"Then do you still have any impressions of the process from death to resurrection?" Lorelei raised her eyebrows, and changed the way of asking, "About the world after death, or your soul after death encounters and the like..."

The giant man tried his best to recall it, and replied uncertainly: "It seems that I didn't know what happened at that time, but I came to a river, and there was someone ferrying me there, and sent me to the other side of the river..."

"What is the ferryman like?"

"No, I don't know. At that time, I seemed to be unable to think at all, and my consciousness was muddled..."

"Think hard! As much as you can remember!" Lorelei's cold tone had an irresistible majesty.

"Yes, yes..." Guo Bit trembled, nodded hurriedly, racked his brains hard, and thought hard, "The person who punted the boat seems to be a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing the kimono of this country, With black hair, she...she...that's right! She charged me [-] yen before sending me across the river!"

"Are you charged [-] yen?"

"Yes, it is……"

Lorelei frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Go ahead."

"Then...then on the other side, there was a section of road that I really didn't remember, and finally arrived in a strange space. There was nothing around it, only darkness, and there was a space that filled the whole space, as tall as the sky and the earth. The looming figure of the black god..."

"And then?" The Magic Marshal's eyes flickered slightly.

"Then, then...that figure made me put my heart on him...on his balance, and then put a white feather on the other side..." Guobit tried very hard to force himself to recall, "After that, I don't know anything, and I returned to my body as soon as I opened my eyes..."

"The Judgment Scale of Anubis?" The Magic Marshal girl frowned.

She understood almost instantly what the ritual of weighing the heart was. It came from Egyptian mythology, the trial of Anubis, using a scale to weigh good and evil with feathers.

One end of the balance 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 this person can ascend to heaven and obtain eternal life.If the heart is heavier than the feather, you will be cast into hell.

It is more in line with the current situation. The innocent can obtain "eternal life" in a disguised form, or they can be resurrected after death... So if the guilty person dies, is he really dead?

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 perception, and whether it only investigates the behavior of the judged in this city, or whether it is related to the past of the judged Experience acts to determine the alignment.

But as long as you understand the fundamental nature, these detailed rules can be tested and confirmed later.

However, Lorelei still has doubts, because the black-haired kimono girl who the giant man mentioned at the beginning of ferrying money obviously has nothing to do with the elements of Egyptian mythology... Is it the mastermind behind the scenes who combined different mythological rituals? Together, or is he lying, withholding part of the truth?

Just when Marshal Sorcerer was suspicious, Guo Bitter seemed to think of something, and quickly took out his wallet to have a look, and suddenly exclaimed: "My money is really short of [-] yen!"

"..."

"..."

It doesn't look like a fake, otherwise this reckless man's acting skills are too good.Lorelai had a slightly weird expression, and subconsciously looked at the bloody corpse on the other side——

Is that person judged as a guilty person, and if he dies, he will die completely...

Or was it because of insufficient money that even the river could not cross the river, although the soul was not sent to hell, but it was not able to return to the body... The resurrection process was stuck?

If it's the former, then everything is easy to say.But if it's the latter, then the man behind the scenes is really a devil!

The Magic Marshal girl let out a breath, then turned around abruptly, and waved the magic dress like a pointer in her hand!The magic power set off a hurricane and a shock wave. In the waves sweeping around, it was like a flash of lightning, like an invisible long whip waving down in the void, blowing the air to pieces!

The dome of the entire warehouse was blown away, and the surrounding walls were blown to pieces. Explosions rushed out from the main entrance of the warehouse, and spread hundreds of meters like lightning on the long street outside!
With just a flick of the whip, she unleashes the terrifying power of a Noble Phantasm. From this we can see why she is called the pinnacle of modern magicians. This is a mysterious world figure who can really wrestle head-on with the ancestor of the dead .

The eyes of the giant man behind him were about to pop out.

"It doesn't look like an ordinary vampire..."

Mumbling to herself, Lorelai knew that her attack was meaningless.

After the smoke and dust cleared outside, a petite figure appeared at the main entrance of the ruined warehouse, calmly and calmly confronting the magician marshal.

Behind him, the French high school girl with blond braids was trembling.

……

……

While the fantasy carnival in Fuyuki City was in full swing, in another time and space.

In 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 there are many places with meandering and flowing high-temperature crimson. It is the crimson magma gushing out under pressure along the cracks and gaps in the earth's crust, making the air full of pungent Sulfur smell.

Countless ferocious demons are fighting on the barren land, the number is unknown, like a dense colony of ants.

In a corner that no one noticed, a young monk with a painting style incompatible with the bloody demon army who was fighting all around appeared. He was wearing a black cassock, his eyes were indifferent, and his temperament was pure. He looked around calmly as soon as he appeared lap.

"Well, it's not very suitable. If the fragments are placed in this world, it will help him to speed up his recovery..."

The young monk said to himself: "Let's keep looking, anyway, there are as many sands in the Ganges River in the heavens, and there will always be some suitable places..."

At this time, a six-armed snake demon held different weapons and rushed over fiercely. It had already noticed this unexpected guest who suddenly appeared on the battlefield.Although I don't know why the human beings in the material plane suddenly appeared here, it's just that their eyes are so red that they can't care about anything.

So without even thinking about it, just go forward and tear this weak human into pieces!
"Oh, that's right... I am a Buddha who is merciful and saves all sentient beings."

The young monk who had just turned around and was about to leave seemed to have remembered something at this moment, turned around again, clasped his hands together and said something in a low voice, and then stretched out a hand directly.

Boom!Thousands of miles of sky collapsed, and the vacuum trembled!

A huge and boundless palm descended from the sky, covering the sky and the sun, directly breaking through the boundless clouds like a sea of ​​blood, casting a shadow that covered everything, and directly crashing towards the earth!

Every finger seems to be vast and boundless, the towering white jade pillar is as vast as a sacred mountain, shrouded in golden light, and there is a pure land of Buddhism in the palm, and Zen singing is heard in the void, making the void rumble , as if the world was shaken.

Without giving anyone time to react, almost the entire battlefield was shattered by a single palm, the large floor plate disappeared, and a huge pit with bottomless bottom appeared!

As for the endless army of demons who were still crazily fighting for a moment before, they were all wiped out before they could react, and they were completely crushed into powder!

Leaning out of the Buddha Kingdom in his palm, the young monk who shattered the scarlet blood field thousands of miles away, joined his palms together again like a compassionate Buddha at this moment: "Today, I have saved many souls to be reborn in blissful bliss. My little monk, I really have immeasurable merit... ..."

Without saying anything, he turned around and disappeared into the void.

Only the lizard trembling in place was left, and there were some outer space beings who cast their sights in horror in the void.

(PS: It’s not divided into development... I’m going to go back to my hometown the day after tomorrow, and I’m going to have to spend a whole day at home. After that, I’ll have to be busy at home for more than half a year. I’ll see how I can adjust it... I’m not in good shape these days because of this, sorry )
