Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"This is……?"

Staring at the scene before him, Roland's calm face froze in a rare moment.

The thick and greasy smell of blood continued to spread, pouring into the nasal cavity like fog and miasma, lingering and assaulting the sense of smell.

Dark red blood flowed out along the tilted curve of the suitcase, dyeing the carpet covering the entire room an even brighter, thicker, and burning red.

And in the center of this evil and filthy painting lies the pale body of a young girl.

From the head, the back of the head, from the eyes to the lips, from the upper arms to the wrists, from the chest to the lower abdomen, from the buttocks to the thighs, from the calves to the toes.

Not a single piece less or missing, just seventeen pieces in total.

However, what stunned Roland was not the tragic scene, but the abnormality behind it.

If it was not a normal human being, but a scumbag with distorted values ​​like Ryunosuke Uryu, after the first impression gradually faded, one would be able to experience the unreal and ethereal feeling.

Although Ryougi Shiki did not have a perverted hobby of viewing killing as an art, she had always been quite indifferent to the concept of life and death. Therefore, she was keenly aware of this abnormality and took the initiative to clean up the mess and picked her up.

As long as you digest the huge visual impact, this scene gives people the impression that it is more like an abstract art work than a murder scene, with a beauty that does not belong to this world.

Even though her clothes were no different from rags, even though she was lying in a pool of blood, she still had a strong sense of presence that could squeeze out the surrounding environment into emptiness.

Just like bathing in the spotlight on the stage, each golden hair has a dazzling luster.

This was an impressive, demonic beauty. Considering the unique way of appearing that could not be imitated by others, Roland was able to guess the other party's identity and race even though they had not met formally and had no photos or other information.

Elquet Brunstad——The girl in front of him who was cut into seventeen pieces was none other than the White Princess whom he had been thinking about for a long time.

Wait, look at it this way...

Could it be that the reason why Elquet suddenly lost contact at this critical step when his whereabouts were about to be exposed was not because there was some mastermind behind the scenes plotting and quietly guiding Bai Ji's trajectory, but just because she was killed?
Roland was wondering why there were twists and turns in the development of things.

Theoretically speaking, even if the restraining force takes action personally, it can only interfere with the tributaries and cannot affect the main characters like Elquet.

Just like when he first came to Magical Index, he would inevitably fall near Othinus without any coordinates. Now Roland also has a black hole-like attraction to the weight of Type-Moon. Even if he can use some means to temporarily delay time, he cannot change his fate of being swallowed up.

So, the person who interfered with her was actually part of my destiny?!

"This is really..."

Thinking of his previous battle of wits and courage with the air, Roland couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Although he knew that Elquet had always been a little out of touch due to her education and mental age, in the current tense situation where humans and Dead Apostles could go to war at any time, he thought that she would be more vigilant as she was currently in the state of a combat weapon.

Unexpectedly, she still went back to her original path.

I thought that the disappearance of Tohno Shiki would change the trend, but now Ryougi Shiki has done it.

"But, Shiki, you are too skilled."

Logically speaking, with Elquet's strength, let alone on Earth, even if he were to compete with the upper limits of beasts and alien gods, he would still be able to make the list.

Born after Zhu Yue's death, she is still recognized by all the True Ancestors standing at the top of the world. The True Ancestor Princess named Brunstad is not a title to express respect, but a description of her status and power.

Even though he was cut into seventeen pieces by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, he was still able to maintain his immortality, which shows the true value of his strength.

Moreover, this was the immortality when Elquet had used 70% of his strength to suppress his blood-sucking urge, was deceived by the Akasha Snake Roya, and had part of his power stolen, leaving him in a state of low health.

If she were in her perfect form or allowed herself to run wild, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception wouldn't even be able to see her death.

Therefore, the fact that Ryougi Shiki would take action against Elquet was indeed beyond Roland's expectations.

Her demonic eyes can treat all concepts equally, and can even cut off information such as cause and effect and the future.

But due to his vision and experience, he is relatively not as capable of performing special attacks against people as Toono Shiki, who cannot be shut down and may go berserk at any time.

The fact that he was still able to replicate the feat of Seventeen Divisions under such circumstances was obviously not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but the result of a long-planned plan, with all the weaknesses and loopholes kept in mind.

Ryougi Shiki did not hide her intentions.

After hearing Roland's words, she turned her head and looked over with clear eyes.

There was still a hint of redness from cruelty and excitement on that pretty face.

It is like an ice flower in the cold night, which sways and blooms with its cold beauty, but also contains dangerous and cold murderous intent.

"Well, at first I just felt that this woman was dangerous, and then I remembered that you said there would be riots recently, so I paid a little attention to her."

"As a result, as soon as I approached this woman, an urge to kill her surged from my heart. In addition, I used my magic eyes to judge her strength and found that it was not to the point where I had to rely on your help, so..."

The girl explained with a smile.

"—you're just going to kill him, right?"

Roland replied.

He suddenly realized where the disagreement lay.

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is not a death warrant for Ryougi Shiki, but a controllable ability. In addition, the death of Ryougi Ori filled the defects of her personality, and the demon-exorcism impulse in the blood of the Four Demon-Exorcist Families cannot control her mind.

When faced with an enemy who has fallen into evil but is not hopeless, the girl will not take the other person's life at will, even if it costs her a lot of money.

Therefore, due to this familiarity and intimacy, Roland has always been very confident in her.

However, if you think about it carefully, although because the void in the heart was filled by someone else, the grown-up Ryougi Shiki is very similar to the impression in his memory, but this is just an appearance.

Due to different experiences and nutrients, the taste of fruits is completely different despite their similar appearance.

His approach is completely different from the traditional kind-hearted, gentle male protagonist. He chooses to make Ryougi Shiki accept her nature and completely embark on the evil path of a murderer.

Now Ryougi Shiki's nature is still that of a man of action who will kill if she wants to, without any scruples.

It's just because of her personality, the girl has no intention to kill ordinary humans unless they are seeking death.

Therefore, when encountering Elquet, whose murderous intent was aroused by the urge to exorcise demons, although she was not controlled, Ryougi Shiki happily submitted to this murderous intent, carefully planned and enjoyed this grand killing.

After all this time, it turns out that I am the culprit?
A subtle look flashed across Roland's eyes.

"what happened?"

As if she had noticed this, Ryougi Shiki tilted her head in confusion.

"nothing."

Roland replied: "Although this way of meeting is a bit exaggerated, there is nothing wrong with it."

It's more like a kingly start.

Although it was an unexpected accident, since he had always been taking things as they come and was confident that he could beat Elquet, this change was nothing.

"Anyway, let's divide her up first... ahem, let's put her back together."

Roland, who was at a loss for words due to the atmosphere, quickly interrupted what he was saying.

"Although it's a pity that we have to destroy the White Princess in the box."

"Baiji in the box?"

Ryougi Shiki said, blinking.

"Don't you like it? This is a name that I came up with after seeing your work." Roland sighed, "Although a large part of it is due to the excellent material, the author's enthusiasm can also be seen from this clean and neat processing method."

"Shi, maybe you have the talent to be an artist." "Don't make me sound like a pervert. I'm not that crazy about this kind of thing! If you hadn't told me to tell you if I saw anything unusual, I wouldn't have meddled in other people's business and would have definitely left this guy where he is."

Ryougi Shiki turned away unhappily.

"Besides, even if you are praised for something like this, it just makes you feel like you have lost something important."

She looked no different than usual, but Roland, who had been to the source many times, understood that this was the girl's shy protest.

"Okay, don't be angry. I know this is your kindness. As a reward, how about I go to eat Haagen-Dazs with you later?"

Roland smiled and calmed the grumpy Miss Ryougi, then pulled his hand out from under Asagami Fujino's skirt and prepared to try out the limited edition Shirahime puzzle.

However, before he could pick up the separated parts from the pool of blood and put them together, Fujino's whimpering sound was heard nearby.

"Um, Mr. Luo...Lord Roland..."

Asagami Fujino covered her cheeks with both hands, daring only to peek through her fingers. She lowered her head desperately, almost burying the lower half of her face in her chest.

"What happened?"

There was a hint of confusion in Roland's eyes.

He certainly didn't think that Miss Asagami was frightened by such a bloody scene - the consequences of the Twisted Demon Eye attacking the human body were much more terrifying than this.

Especially after Asagami Fujino became familiar with the development of the Mystic Eye and gradually delved into the fields of perspective and clairvoyance, she could perform such delicate operations as flipping the inside and the outside.

By the way, since this ability can also be used on himself, Roland is very happy to serve as a healer and insurance for Fujino when she practices this ability.

The feeling of having the inside of the body squeezed together through the abdomen can be described as the ultimate bliss on earth.

Moreover, it would have been fine if it was just Fujino. Miss Ryougi, who usually had a very indifferent expression, actually had her mouth slightly open, looking shocked.

Following the two people's line of sight, Roland quickly discovered something was wrong.

Under the indoor light, his palms were shining with a crystal luster.

Because you are away from the originally warm environment, due to the temperature difference, just by slightly opening your hands, you can feel the strange texture as if honey is poured into a hot spring.

No wonder the two girls acted like this.

Although they all have an inseparable close relationship with Roland, and understand the fact that the person they love is a scumbag, their ability to accept this aspect is still relatively weak and pure, and is far from being as open as Zhenming.

In order to prevent the two girls, especially Miss Liangyi, from getting angry, Roland did not continue to provoke them. Instead, he rubbed Elquet's clothes calmly until the white sweater was dyed dark.

The girls cast subtle glances at Roland's childish way of dealing with dirty things, but since they were not the victims, they acquiesced to his actions, stood up, and helped Roland collect the fragments of Elquet.

After placing all the parts on the desk in front of him, Roland completed the assembly of the girl in a short while.

What surprised him was that, even though he had previously teased in his mind that this was a limited edition White Princess puzzle, he didn't expect that the feeling after actually getting started was actually pretty much the same.

After the limb that was lying in a pool of blood was picked up, it was shaken slightly and the blood drops on it slid down by themselves without any blood sticking to the body.

Perhaps because it had been in the suitcase for quite some time, no more blood flowed out of the cut.

Although the skin is slightly pale, you can still see the vitality and energy contained within, and it has the temperature of the human body when touched.

The feeling of assembling these things, even if he deliberately associated it with horror, was at most similar to a cartoon he had read before called "Searching for Corpses".

To put it in a positive way, this action even reminded Roland of the feeling of piecing together the sealed Exodia.

Well, it’s the card that the first protagonist in the card king world got from his grandfather. Collecting five cards will unconditionally win.

Influenced by his childhood, Roland specially collected a set of physical versions when he grew up, and put together a complete picture of this dark wizard.

"I never thought that this experience would be useful one day... Well, now it's done."

After putting the main body and the left and right feet, left and right arms together, Roland picked up Elquet's head and put her on his neck to straighten it out.

Thanks to the True Ancestor's terrifying vitality, even though the end brought by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception has not completely subsided, there are still a few strands of new flesh and nerves that glue the broken parts together again.

After a moment, aside from the noticeable red marks on her skin that had not faded, and the lack of any rise and fall in her chest, the True Ancestor princess looked almost indistinguishable from a sleeping person.

"Whoosh..."

Looking at his masterpiece, Roland's eyes lit up.

She is worthy of being the one who pioneered the concept of True Ancestor and is the undisputed absolute heroine.

The beauty that was like a work of art in the previous tragic situation was enough to make people unable to take their eyes away. After the reassembly, although it had not come back to life, this devilish beauty was magnified a thousand times.

Even with her eyes closed, her long eyelashes still cast a light shadow under her eyelids, highlighting the fair and smooth skin of the girl.

Roland was a little absent-minded as he stared at Elquet's delicate face.

"You're not tempted, are you?"

The corners of Ryougi Shiki's mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at Roland with a surprised and somewhat weird tone.

"Although I already have a lot of knowledge about how much of a scumbag you are, and I was prepared for her not to escape when I took it, but at least wait until she comes back to life. In this state, wouldn't you feel weird even if I used it?"

"…Why do you have to assume that I'm going to use it?"

Roland protested.

"This is blatant slander. Even I would not be so shameless."

This is not a lie. Although his bottom line is already terribly low, he is not so unrestrained as to reach such a morbid level.

If the girl was just asleep or unconscious, he might still succumb to his desire because of the temptation of taking her at will.

But when the subject is not alive yet, it is another matter.

His previous appearance was simply due to his appreciation and yearning for beautiful things.

"is that so……"

Although she didn't answer, Miss Liangyi's half-believing and half-doubting look fully expressed her attitude.

"Well, if that's the case, I'll prove it to you."

Seeing this, Roland stopped being polite.

He held Elquet in his arms, his eyes fixed on the fullness of the girl's breasts.

Then he did it in one go.

Sign, reach out, and hold.

"See, even so, I have absolutely no..."

"Um……"

However, before he could finish his words of self-affirmation, he was interrupted by a pitiful whisper.

No way?
Roland turned his head subconsciously.

I saw that Miss Bai Ji, who was lifeless just now, had opened her eyes.

The place where those hazy and bright red eyes were looking at was the pair of hands placed on her chest.

"Eh?" (End of this chapter)
