The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 219 Yuan Zhisheng: Once upon a time, I wanted to be a partner of justice

The iron-gray sky woven by the boundless rainstorm extends from overhead to the skyline in all directions, with no end in sight.

Emiya sat cross-legged alone on the eaves in the rain, the damp and cold wind blew the corners of his clothes, but the cold rain could not penetrate into the fabric at all——

Because at this moment, a faint "flame" was rising from the surface of Emiya's skin, turning into a thin flame-colored umbrella, burning the heavy raindrops and evaporating them into a layer of white mist.

From a distance, the whole person looks like a human-shaped furnace.

At the same time, the powerful heart pumping function operates in the body, and the magical power far exceeds that of an ordinary magician. It is transported to various parts of the body through circuits, and then radiates outward to the outside world through "flame", mixing with the vast sea of elements.

Finally, use the "mind's eye" as the information center and use the meditation method recorded in the Taoist Canon to visualize and think about the external phenomena:
The raindrops splashing white water waves, the tinkling of the bells hanging outside the house, the lush green trees in the mountains in the distance, the lead-gray buildings...

Look up at the vastness of the universe and look down at the abundance of species.

The world that gives rise to all things and flows and changes becomes perceptible through the five senses and then becomes concrete in the mind.

Eventually, the so-called inner scene and mental image were established in Emiya's mind.

This process requires abandoning distracting thoughts and letting go of emotions.

Use your mind and eyes simply and exclusively to efficiently remember everything that happened before your death, and visualize and ponder it repeatedly in your mind.

Like a sophisticated 3D modeling instrument, it repeatedly explores the spatial structure and the arrangement and distribution of things at the level of drawings and models...

The flame-colored "umbrella cap" stands still in the wind and rain, as if it is connecting the rain all over the sky and trying to melt itself.

If you want to use the sword as your bones and achieve this body, you must first gather the forging materials and forge the sword blank.

If you want your blood to be as strong as iron and your heart to be as sharp as glass, you must first become a huge furnace and ignite a raging fire.

When Nuonuo walked out of the room and into the open space, she stepped on the puddles, but when she saw the shocking momentum of the rainstorm, she shrank back. She only looked up from under the eaves, but the raindrops still poured into her collar, which made the girl frown slightly, and she shouted through the rain curtain:

"Emiya, what are you doing on the roof in the rain?"

Facing Nono's puzzled question below, Shirou slowly opened his eyes.

The entire city was reflected in his pupils, with densely packed high-rise buildings standing like sharp iron peaks, or like countless hazy sword shadows piercing the sky.

“I am meditating.”

Nuonuo shrugged and leaned against the wooden pillar. "Ever since you read those volumes of the Taoist Canon, you have become more like a Taoist master."

"I can't bear the evaluation of a great master. Now I am just beginning to understand the basics."

Emiya's thoughts were interrupted, so he simply jumped off the roof.

"Did you find anything?"

Shirou watched the water droplets dripping slowly from Nono's trouser legs. She still had a towel wrapped around her neck, so he knew that Nono had followed Xia Mi early in the morning, but judging from the gloomy look on her face, she probably didn't gain anything.

Emiya suddenly noticed that the girl was holding another towel in one hand, but her eyes were fixed on her dry clothes and face. It was obvious that she was using it to wipe the rain off Emiya, but he didn't expect that the latter had mastered a unique drying technique.

Shirou smiled and still took the dry towel, which eased the awkward atmosphere a little.

Nuonuo crossed his arms and shook his wet hair, "I didn't find anything - to be exact, I was thrown off in the middle of tracking."

Emiya's expression remained unchanged. This was expected. If Nuonuo hadn't hidden her hair features well in this ancient city, Xia Mi would have discovered it even faster.

"That's why it's even more strange. Is she still trying to avoid me even though she's already noticed me? According to the excuse Xia Mi gave, she was just going to see her brother."

Nuonuo lifted her long and well-proportioned legs and swung them gently outside the house, water drops flying from her wet trouser legs. She recalled her profile of Xia Mi at that time, and her performance seemed flawless. Now it seemed that Xia Mi was obviously hiding her incompetence, and she was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.

Emiya was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This girl should have no bad intentions towards us, otherwise she would have found countless opportunities to attack us while we were living together."

"She is hiding a secret after all."

After saying this, Nono fell silent, looking directly into Emiya's eyes.

The implication is, should we continue to pursue the matter? Or should we keep our tacit understanding and maintain peace? Emiya, you decide.

"What's next..." Emiya thought about the previous plan. If Nono fails to investigate on his own, he will have to use Heroic Spirits like Melyucina. But he has a vague feeling that... if he does this directly, it would be a bit of a breach of friendship.

"Please wait a little longer. I will find a chance to communicate with her."

After saying this, Emiya turned around and prepared to walk into the rain.

As a result, Nuonuo reached out and pulled him, saying, "If you want to visualize the outside world with your meditation method, wouldn't it be more convenient to look down from the sky?"

"what do you mean?"

"Since Melyuchina's original arrangement has been cancelled, let her take you on a few flights. When the time comes, Melyuchina's dragon wings will spread out and turn into a supersonic fighter, which will be enough for you to visualize the entire Kanto Plain." Nono stroked her wet red hair.

"You really love to torture Melyuchina so much..."

Emiya said softly while looking at the narrow sky surrounded by high walls.

When he turned around and walked back, he saw Nuo Nuo had already taken off his wet jeans swiftly, "Hey, don't throw your pants on the ground!"

"I'm going to take a shower!" Nono turned around and left. She probably couldn't stand the experience of chatting with Emiya while feeling the slippery touch of her clothes.

Emiya shook his head while holding the pants that Nono had taken off. The wet and cold touch, mixed with the fragrance of the girl's body, was clearly transmitted to his senses.

He shook the wrinkled jeans twice and threw them into the clothes basket outside the bathroom. It's not like Emiya has any perverted clothing hobby, so even if Nono threw it to him intentionally, he wouldn't plan to use it.

"Melyuzina."

Emiya walked away quickly and found Melyucina dozing off in an inconspicuous corner.

...She's hiding quite well. What kind of work did Nuonuo ask her to do that made the child have to hide even when she was sleeping?
"Hmm...?" Melusina rubbed her sleepy eyes, her tail dangling from under her sweatshirt. She saw Emiya pulling her and walking outside without saying anything.

The damp and cold breath of the rain drifted through the air, causing her nose to twitch a few times in discomfort.

"Let's go out and fly a few laps... You don't look happy?" Emiya found it very strange. Melusina should have always loved flying.

"No, it's not... I just don't like water."

Melyusina looked at the heavy rain, then looked down at her new comfortable casual clothes and sighed quietly. A few minutes later.

boom--

Dense raindrops were blown by the strong wind from the sky and hit the black dragon wings spread out by Melyuchina, continuously making a rhythmic drum-beating sound.

Emiya, wearing a navy blue coat, sat in the simple open-air "cabin" made of leather by Melyusina. Thin flames burst out from his body, evaporating the rain falling in front of him and above his head.

The two of them were floating in the sky covered by dark clouds, looking like a stealth fighter that almost blended into the sky.

There are more rain curtains in the distance, and the city is connected together with flashing street lights, car lights, neon lights... It seems that people always live a life filled with busy work or passionate consumption, and never feel uneasy about the dullness and darkness of the day.

Emiya used magic to enhance his vision and overlooked everything on earth.

To be honest, using this kind of perspective will make it easier to see some details unclearly.

But at this point, Emiya almost understood that the construction of mental landscape does not require details, but "impressions", "understandings"... and most importantly, "will".

After studying the method of meditation, he has basically confirmed that these things are indispensable to the mental landscape.

It’s true that the mental landscape is like this… However, there is still one step missing to skillfully unfold your mental landscape and invade reality to form a fixed barrier…

What are the steps?

Emiya turned his gaze and suddenly saw a familiar building. "That, is it the Genji Heavy Industries building?"

As an "undercover" who had been lurking for a while, Melyusina responded quickly and said, "Yes."

"Compared to the last time I came here, the height is a bit lower. Why does it look like there are a few floors missing?"

Melyuchina's tone was slightly smug, "...I did it."

Isn't that amazing? The level of human creation is just so-so.

"What's there to be proud of?" Emiya speechlessly reached out and knocked on the little female dragon's head.

"Take me down. Now that you're here, let's go take a look."

----

Yuan Zhisheng walked quickly towards the prison area and met the old man in priest robes who was waiting at the entrance.

He had already informed his father Uesugi Yue, and when Uesugi Yue learned that his son had revived, it was natural for him not to rush over.

"Zhisheng, why did your brother sleep for so long and wake up only now?"

The two of them walked into the special elevator for visiting the prison area. Uesugi Yue leaned against the spacious metal wall in the elevator room and asked idly.

Uesugi Yue remembered that he stretched out his hand to knock Kazama Ruri unconscious, but he remembered that he controlled his strength very well and it was impossible for the royal hybrid to suffer much damage.

"It seems to be because of the combat characteristics of his servant... the consumption burden is relatively large," Gen Chisei felt a headache when he thought of Ibaraki Douji setting fire to buildings at every turn.

Fortunately, Watanabe Tsuna doesn't have any fancy moves, and his various attacks are relatively simple and unpretentious.

Uesugi Yue had seen the level of servants fighting, "What about you and his servants? It will be troublesome if they fight again, right?"

"Father, rest assured for now. Both parties need to maintain their spiritual form to recover to their peak state as soon as possible. Even if the Berserker wants to take action, he will be restrained by Saber in an instant. Besides, her Master is in our hands."

Uesugi Yue felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the lack of emotion in Minamoto Chisei's tone towards his younger brother. He turned to look at the new head of the family and said in a serious tone:

"Zhisheng, before we get here, can you please tell me the truth...how do you plan to deal with your brother?"

"He is an important cadre among the Ghost Clan, second only to the King General. The family is in urgent need of key intelligence about the Ghost Clan. The prison area actually also holds members of the Kanto branch who suddenly rebelled that night. We need to know how many thorns the Ghost Clan has planted in the family."

Yuan Zhisheng stared at the metal door and responded fluently.

"…As for the final solution, I need to consider the overall situation. It was because I failed to kill the evil ghost during the execution of the bureau a few years ago that he was reborn among the fierce ghosts and called the wind and rain, which led to the current situation."

As he spoke, the current movie king began to blame himself, as if he could see his brother's face through the elevator door.

"Father, I never had the chance to tell you that my little girl had already fallen. She became the mastermind of a serial murder case in the town where we lived in our childhood. I'm sorry that I couldn't execute her back then. Now, as a demon slayer and the head of the family, I must..."

"enough!"

Under Yuan Zhisheng's surprised eyes, Shangshan Yue shouted in a deep voice. The old Emperor's face was full of frost, and his low tone seemed like a storm brewing.

"Zhisheng, who taught you these great principles? You kept saying words of self-blame, attributing it to your own fault for not killing your brother earlier, and even apologized to me... You valued your family and your own reputation more than the life of your dearest brother. What was your thinking?"

Uesugi Yue questioned, "Is it based on your bullshit sense of responsibility and honor as the Shadow King? Do you know that in my heart, you and your brother are equally important, but you want to deal with your brother for the sake of bullshit justice?"

The old movie star described his previous position as "shit" because he was fed up with the family tragedy that accompanied this position.

Uesugi Yue didn't want his descendants to repeat the tragedy.

"Father, please calm down. He has transformed into a demon who enjoys killing people—"

"Then let me ask you, which evil ghost is always thinking about his brother, and which evil ghost still has an ignorant love in his heart?"

"You've been locked up for so many days. Are you sure that he is a fallen ghost based on his bloodline? When you found out that your brother had killed someone, did you ask him what the truth was?"

Gen Chisei was stunned when he heard this. He judged that Fengjian Liuli was dangerous only based on the hostile behavior he performed that was consistent with the hostile behavior of the ghost camp.

He also witnessed his crazy behavior of killing girls in Kakuri Town. Firmly believing in justice, he drew his sword and destroyed his brother's heart.

...Am I wrong?
Seeing that Minamoto Chisei began to lower his head and remain silent, Uesugi Yue's expression relaxed a little and he sighed.

"This hypocritical sense of justice... is from your adoptive father, Ju... no, that Professor Herzog, right? He is a conspirator and an ambitious man. He is using you and training you to be a cold tool. You should wake up, Zhisheng. Check it out carefully. Maybe what happened back then is not that simple."

Yuan Zhisheng forced a smile, which was filled with bitterness. "I was naive at that time. I was still singing "Justice Big Friend" in my heart, thinking that I was a partner of justice."

"To put it bluntly, Chisheng, you are not as good as Emiya," Uesugi Yue criticized:
"Even if that kid has all sorts of bad things going on... well, except for kidnapping Eri, he doesn't seem to have any bad things going on... But I can tell that he would never kill someone close to him for the sake of false justice."
