Chapter 168 Justice, or justice?
As soon as Xia Mo finished speaking, Yuan Zhisheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent. If he didn't know that drawing the sword would have no result, he would have drawn the scabbard and taught Xia Mo a lesson.

Oh, Spider-Kiri and Doji-Kiri are being remade, and Genji's weapon is changed to Chidori. It is said that the original owner Dosetsu once used this sword to slash at lightning, so it has the alternative name "Raikiri".

Yuan Zhisheng said thoughtfully.

"You don't know much about Mr. Tachibana Masamune. Are you being too arbitrary in your judgment of him?"

"You have been in the Sheqi Eight Clan for less than a month, and you are already questioning the patriarch who has ruled the Sheqi Eight Clan for twenty years. Didn't they see how many old foxes there were before you did this?"

Xia Mo retorted in a calm voice.

"You are right. Tachibana Masamune's performance in the Snake Eight Clan is perfect. He is a qualified and loyal leader who always considers the interests of the family."

"But the reason why I questioned Tachibana Masamune was not because of this, but because of his flawed statements to you. Others don't know this."

Yuan Zhisheng was silent.

"I know you are hesitant. After all, he is your adoptive father..." Xia Mo sighed and looked very considerate, so she asked.

"So, do you believe in Minamoto no Chitose, or do you believe in Tachibana Masamune?"

Xia Mo was fanning the flames, throwing a clear-cut question to Genjiro, giving him a choice: either believe what his biological brother Genjiro said, or believe that his adoptive father Tachibana Masamune was a good man.

"The girl is dead. I killed her with my own hands." Yuan Zhisheng spoke in a low voice about another matter, staring at Xia Mo, "Could the girl you saw be a ghost? The ghost who bewitched and deceived you?"

"It's the 21st century, why do you still believe this?"

"The girl has already told me the story of you and me. I know the general process. I have a guess. The girl's bloodline is no less than yours. She has entered a state of suspended animation."

In the original work, when Bondarev fooled Dr. Herzog, he claimed to be a descendant of Princess Anastasia, the youngest daughter of the last Tsar Nicholas II. At that time, Anastasia was shot in the heart and entered a state of suspended death. She opened her eyes the next day and "resurrected".

Mixed race, it's amazing, isn't it?

Yuan Zhisheng was in mixed emotions. He was happy that Yuan Zhinu was not dead, but Yuan Zhinu had become the Dragon King of the fierce ghosts, and the sins she had committed were even more serious.

Xia Mo saw Yuan Zhisheng's self-condemnation, she thought about it and asked seriously.

"Genju-kun, before I came to the Japanese branch, Principal Angers mentioned you to me and said that you left a deep impression on him."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned when he heard this, and he asked subconsciously.

"why?"

Xia Mo imitated Ange's tone at the time, which was actually the same expression as Yuan Zhisheng back then. Her eyes were clear and blank, and she was vaguely prepared to bear everything.

"How much can one man pay for justice?"

Following Xia Mo's words, Yuan Zhisheng's thoughts went back to 03, when he was about to graduate and received an invitation to afternoon tea from Principal Angers and the Principal's scholarship.

At this time, Yuan Zhisheng heard Xia Mo's playful voice.

"I didn't realize you were also a partner of justice."

A partner in justice?
This name comes from the high jumper Shirou Emiya in the famous Lunar series. He strives to be a good person with the ideal of being a righteous partner.

But this ideal was actually stolen, and his adoptive father Emiya Kiritsugu was the first generation of Partners of Justice.

In addition to appearing in the memories of "Fate/stay night", Kiritsugu Emiya also appears as the protagonist in the prequel "Fate/zero".

The author of this novel was authorized by "Warrior of Love" and it was published in 06.

However, Genji has never seen Zero. It was not until the 11 animation of the same name produced by UFO that the Justice Partners became popular.

"Companion of justice?" Yuan Zhisheng murmured.

"You haven't watched Fate/Zero?"

Yuan Zhisheng shook his head.

Xia Mo smiled and talked about another thing.

"Do you know how Ange evaluated you?" "The worst class of students you have ever taught?" Yuan Zhisheng asked half-jokingly. He was in a heavy mood at the moment.

"He said that what you pursue is not justice, but righteousness. Did you tell Ange the story of you and Genji? When Genji told me about it, I said that it felt familiar."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned.

Did he say that?

Recalling it carefully, Yuan Zhisheng felt melancholy. He did tell Angers a story. There were no names in this story, only things that happened and the choices made.

Let Xia Mo continue.

"I think Ange's analysis is quite correct. He said that you think you have paid a price for justice and feel pain because the justice you follow is not what you really want in your heart."

“You follow the principles taught to you by others, not your own heart.”

Not justice, but righteousness?

This righteousness is what my father taught me. He taught the way of the samurai to Yuan Zhisheng. A samurai is born for righteousness and dies for righteousness. Tata! A self-drawn Tata!

"Let me tell you the story of the partners of justice." Xia Mo said.

The story of Emiya Kiritsugu is neither long nor short. He has been dealing with trolley problems all his life.

Kiritsugu Emiya would sacrifice a few people to save the majority, even his adoptive mother.

The foster mother got rid of the big bad guy on the plane, but the parasitic monsters raised by the big bad guy took over the entire plane. Once the plane falls into the airport, it will cause extremely serious casualties.

So, Emiya Kiritsugu sacrificed his own family for the greater good and picked up the missile to shoot at the plane.

Foster mother, dead.

After doing all this, Emiya Kiritsugu burst into tears and asked himself loudly what he had done.

But if Kiritsugu Emiya is given another chance, he will still make the same choice and blow up his adoptive mother.

It was his adoptive mother who saved Kiritsugu Emiya and gave him a second life. He loved her very much.

This does not affect the fact that Emiya Kiritsugu personally killed his adoptive mother for the sake of most people who had nothing to do with him.

From this perspective, Emiya Kiritsugu’s justice is not justice, but justice.

The so-called justice and the so-called righteousness, the difference is that the latter is always painful. Once the righteousness is mentioned, what comes to mind are mostly sacrifice and giving up. Otherwise, there would not be the allusion of killing one's own relatives for the sake of righteousness.

However, Minamoto no Chisei's righteousness was the result of Tachibana Masamune's deliberate teaching over the years, and Emiya Kiritsugu's righteousness was to atone for his sins. If he had made up his mind earlier and killed his friend, perhaps no one on a small island would have died.

Later, Kiritsugu Emiya regretted his actions. He killed many people for his own justice and caused King Saber to destroy the Holy Grail, resulting in the spillage of black mud, which caused hundreds of casualties in Fuyuki City. He also suffered from a lot of illnesses and was unable to pick up his daughter Illya.

His wife and children were separated, and if he had not adopted Shirou Emiya, he would have been destined to die alone.

Ironically, the action that Kiritsugu Emiya regretted was actually his greatest achievement as a partner of justice, sacrificing hundreds of people to save half of the earth's population.

Otherwise, the dirt in the Holy Grail will escape and kill half of the earth's population before the restraining force will take action.

She asked as Xia Mo slowly finished telling the story of Emiya Kiritsugu.

"What do you think of Emiya Kiritsugu?"

Yuan Zhisheng did not answer, but asked Xia Mo.

"What about you?"

"I?"

 There will be six chapters tomorrow. I will make up for the three chapters I owe first, and then slowly make up for the leader’s seven chapters.
