Abnormal Moon

Rin Tohsaka followed with a heavy heart.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Nakano Ichika followed silently behind the two. It was their first time truly experiencing magic, and they knew nothing about it. They could only follow the two of them, doing more and talking less.

But the fact that they could even dream of playing in a four-man squad was something they clearly hadn't expected.

The movement in the dream makes no sense.

Just seconds after the four set off, the scenery around them began to distort, the sky and earth rapidly shattered, and in their place appeared a huge pool of water.

They stood at the edge of the pool, looking at what was inside, and their faces all turned ugly.

A large number of "people" who looked remarkably similar to Roy and Ilya were carelessly thrown into the pool like discarded trash. Some of them were still breathing, but they could only watch helplessly as they died.

"So that's how it is, it's an abandoned pool."

Ilya watched this scene with a cold expression.

"Speaking of which, the Einzbern also had one, and it was much larger in scale, with far more androids dying inside."

Chapter 81 Cursed Spirit

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Nakano Ichika both had very unpleasant expressions.

Even though they already knew that Roy was an android and that androids had a very low status in this world, seeing so many beings with the same appearance and intelligence as humans lying there waiting to die still made them feel dizzy and had an urge to faint.

Humans can indeed kill chickens and pigs without hesitation, but that is a necessity for survival. Why can they be so ruthless towards artificial humans who possess intelligence and are like babies, who one day can grow into normal humans like them?

Are all magicians such shameless creatures?

Kasumigaoka Utaha previously thought she understood magicians, but she realized she was completely wrong.

Even Rin Tohsaka's expression was quite unpleasant.

Thanks to Tokiomi Tohsaka's early death, her spirit was not cultivated into that of a magician who disregards human ethics. Although her reason told her that this scene was normal, she still felt a little nauseous.

If she could, she hoped she would never become that kind of magician.

"Let's go, to Roy's place."

Only Ilya remained completely unmoved.

She remained indifferent, seemingly unmoved, and set off again with the three of them.

The surrounding scenery underwent another bizarre and fantastical transformation.

Dreams are controlled by a person's mind. Wherever the dreamer wants to go, they can arrive there instantly. It is not surprising that one can enter another person's dream when dreams are interconnected.

After things stabilized again, the four of them appeared in a hospital room.

This is a private hospital room, which is very clean and there is not a single sharp object in sight.

There was only one patient in the ward.

He had the same white hair as those androids, and his frail body was covered by a large, semi-transparent hospital gown, through which one could see the large and small, healed wounds on his skin.

Most strikingly, his eyes were bandaged, preventing him from seeing the sun all day.

"Get out!"

The patient pushed aside the girl, whose figure was barely visible beside the bed, and roared at her with hatred.

This scene plunged Rin Tohsaka and the other three into an indescribable silence.

All they understood was that this was the center of the dream.

It is built upon Roy's past, and it is the place where Roy himself resides.

In other words.

The android lying in the hospital bed, suffering greatly and with its eyes gouged out, is Roy himself.

"Although I guessed it long ago, although I guessed it, but—"

Rin Tohsaka looked at the android on the hospital bed who was constantly going berserk and roaring, and her distress reached its peak.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Nakano Ichika were so shocked that they were speechless.

"Oh dear, I relaxed a little and a mouse sneaked in!"

Just then, the scene before the four of them seemed to move at faster than the speed of light, disappearing from their sight in the blink of an eye.

After things stabilized again, the four of them found themselves back on the desolate hill where they had first appeared.

Before their eyes appeared a figure entirely black except for a pair of cold, flickering pupils, holding a sharp dagger shaped like a wild beast's claw.

Rin Tohsaka and Illya instantly entered battle stance, one pulling out a gem and the other a thin silver thread.

"Oh dear, I'm in a really bad mood right now!"

Angolan Manuel narrowed his eyes, revealing a blatant killing intent.

The murderous intent swept over them like a storm, and Rin Tohsaka and Illya immediately went on high alert.

"No, this might be just right!"

Suddenly, the killing intent receded like a tide.

Angolan Manuel suddenly smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, but a suffocating malice emanated from him.

"Snapped!"

He snapped his fingers.

follow closely.

A cross suddenly appeared on the hill, coming into view of Rin Tohsaka and her companions.

Like a criminal being bound, a figure they knew very well was tied to it.

"What, are you getting angry because I rejected you?"

In the blink of an eye, the familiar hill he hadn't seen in years appeared before him. Roy looked at the cross binding his hands and feet and sneered coldly.

His gaze then fell on the four girls not far away, and his expression hardened.

They came in... Was it made with oranges?

"Roy? Is it true?"

Rin Tohsaka gripped the gem in her hand tightly, looking at Roy hanging on the cross with a mixture of nervousness and surprise.

If we can rescue him, we can escape this dream!

"Can you only see Roy? Look at the one next to that black guy!"

Ilya glared at her.

Rin Tohsaka snapped out of her daze and looked at the black man, Angra Mainyu, standing beside her.

Suddenly, a strange figure appeared beside him.

It was simply a ball of flesh floating in mid-air.

It was only half a person tall and had no limbs at all, but its whole body was covered with countless eyes. Most of these eyes stared straight at them, while the remaining half of the eyes behind it stared at Roy on the cross.

It exuded an astonishing aura of resentment, like a vengeful spirit that died unjustly.

"That's... a cursed spirit?"

Rin Tohsaka realized what was happening and clenched her teeth.

Cursed spirit disasters should not occur in Fuyuki City, with the only exception being the current incident caused by Zouken Matou.

This cursed spirit could only have entered with Zouken Matou!

"……What do you want to do?"

Roy looked at Angra Mainyu, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

"It's such a waste for you to keep your malice hidden in your heart, so I want to do you a favor and dig it out!"

Angolan Manuel laughed very frankly, his eyes squinting with malice.

"I know you have a very strong will. After all, the curse tormented you for three years and it didn't break you. Ordinary physical torture would hardly make you submit. I don't know what suppressed the malice in your heart, but have you ever had this kind of experience?"

Angolan Mainyu pointed to the four people opposite him, including Rin Tohsaka.

"They came to save you in your dream, so they must be very loyal to you. Would killing them a hundred times make the malice that has cooled in your heart boil over?"

"Oh, right, right, don't let its ugly appearance fool you, it's actually a nightmare spirit, and it's not impossible for it to kill people through dreams!"

Angolan Manuel pointed to the ugly mass of flesh beside him.

Rin Tohsaka and the other three immediately changed their expressions, as a sense of danger and fear quickly crept into their hearts.

“Angolan Mainyu, you bastard…”

Roy's expression suddenly turned grim.

A strong sense of malice welled up from the bottom of his heart, transforming into a pure destructive impulse, making him wish he could tear him to pieces from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehehehe, so, do you understand the situation now?"

Angolan Manuel chuckled, his large, white-eyed eyes full of mockery.
