Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

"Do you really want to do this? Even if you succeed, are you sure this girl won't hate you?"

"If I could use ordinary methods to help her open her magic eyes, I certainly wouldn't use such extreme methods. But ordinary methods simply can't do it, so this is the only way."

"Rather than waiting until she loses someone she loves to use the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception in the future, helping her gain this power now is undoubtedly the best option."

"Is it worth it? She won't understand your efforts."

"It doesn't matter. I owe her my life. Whether she understands or not is her business, and whether I do it or not is my business. So what if she hates me?"

"Oh, forget it. Anyway, you have a close relationship with that person. Whatever you want to do is up to you. If something goes wrong, she won't bother me, an accomplice."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Merlin." Xia Yuan bent down and bowed to Merlin, which was a rare gesture.

"Oh, you..."

In the dream world, it is the familiar Avalon. Merlin and Xia Yuan, who have been offline for dozens of chapters, once again staged a tea party in the dream.

Originally, he was quite happy to see Xia Yuan, who hadn't visited him for a long time. Before he had time to set up the dream and drink tea, Xia Yuan came and gave Merlin a big job.

This made Merlin, who was originally smiling and welcoming guests, suddenly turn into a bitter face, and he couldn't wait to send away this sudden plague god.

Team member Xia Yuan, are you awake? !

This guy just came here to let himself enter that person's dream, and weave the most realistic dream world for Ryougi Shiki according to the script he provided, and help Ryougi Shiki open the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception through the stimulation of the scenes in the dream.

This audacious act directly shocked Merlin for hundreds of years.

Xia Yuan also had his own considerations. After trying for so long, since he had already decided that relying solely on external stimulation of the line between life and death would not help you open your Mystic Eyes, he had to directly replicate the conditions for opening the eyes in the Realm of Sky, and let Ryougi Shiki experience the grief of losing Oritoki in a dream, so as to help her open her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

In short, under the premise that Zhi must not be sacrificed, he would try all possibilities before he would give up.

Although he had a lot of experience in illusion, it was still too difficult for him to construct a dream that was as real as reality. He might even be discovered by Ryougi Shiki in the dream, which would make her guard up and this method would fail.

So he asked Merlin, the strongest illusionist in the entire Type-Moon and the scumbag who also served as the British Sword Master, to help.

As the director, he arranged a specific script, Merlin was responsible for constructing the stage, and then Ryougi Shiki was thrown in to perform the tragedy, and there was absolutely no clue.

It’s just that ideals are full, but reality is very skinny.

Originally, Merlin didn't care at all when he heard that it was just a simple matter of helping someone weave a specific dream, and he agreed on the spot. But when Merlin realized that Xia Yuan wanted him to enter Ryougi Shiki's dream and construct a specific dream, his face was filled with horror and disbelief.

He almost pointed at Xia Yuan's nose and cursed him: Do you know who she is? I entered her dream to set a trap? If this really makes her unhappy, she will directly enter Avalon and stab me. Even he will be dead. This is impossible?

If nothing else, you can go back. Let’s not meet again in the future. I’m afraid that person will misunderstand.

Xia Yuan then brought up the question, "Isn't he also a transcendent? How dare you enter my dream and do whatever you want? What's wrong? Merlin, you old nightmare demon, are you so picky? Can you enter my dream? But Ryougi Shiki can't? Are you teasing me?"

Nonsense, you didn't have any knowledge of yourself at the beginning, and you didn't have any power, why should I be afraid of you? But this ancestor is different, the root style is really everywhere, and it's no good to make him angry, he is just a pitiful, weak and helpless little nightmare, why don't you go find someone else to fight with?

In the extreme wrangling between the two, Xia Yuan finally promised Li that if anything went wrong, he would take the responsibility alone and would never let the Root Style cause trouble for him. After he also promised to help Merlin do something, he reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, I'll give it a try, but don't hold your hopes too high. Maybe that person is watching us nearby."

Merlin sighed, looking at the sleeping Ryougi Shiki and sighed, his hands unconsciously began to tremble.

"If she really shows up, I won't do anything you offer me, so remember to help me stop her."

"Okay, I promise you, if the Root Style really appears, I will explain it to her myself, and you just leave. Is that okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

After getting Xia Yuan's assurance, Merlin felt relieved.

Then, under Merlin's arrangement, Xia Yuan tied a colorful ribbon around Ryougi Shiki's wrist, then projected himself into the spiritual world and made an OK gesture to Merlin.

Feeling the connection between the ribbon and the Ryougi Shiki ceremony, and seeing the signal sent by Xia Yuan, Merlin nodded and his movements were decisive. This time, he actually chanted a spell and began to construct a dream, which was rare.

Tick-tick——!

Tick-t ...

It was as if a drop of water fell into a pond, creating ripples.

In another dream, the stage for the two rituals was quietly being constructed on the water.

……

……

"interesting."

While the two were still busy, a gentle female voice sounded quietly in the darkness.

Chapter 69: A Dream

It is a rainy day.

The sky was gray, with thunder and lightning mixed with dark clouds, and raindrops as big as beans poured down from the clouds.

In a suburb of Guanbuzi City, there is a densely planted bamboo forest, which looks quiet and elegant from a distance.

If you walk through this quiet bamboo forest and follow the smooth stone path under your feet, you will arrive at a huge mansion full of ancient style.

This is the asset built by the Liangyi family, the largest wealthy family in Guanbuzi City.

It’s just that the villa seems a little empty today, something unusual has happened quietly.

A pool of blood mixed with rain water flowed down and returned to the muddy land.

A figure was standing in the rain, and a headless corpse was gushing blood at her feet. The head rolling down to the side seemed to be telling the fear and pain of the deceased before death.

The cruelty of the murderer has been revealed at this moment.

If you look closer, the figure in the rain becomes clearer and clearer. It is a girl in a kimono. At this moment, she is looking down at the corpse lying in front of her with cold eyes and she does not move at all.

The girl's name is Ryougi Shiki. She is the eldest daughter of the Ryougi family, the largest and most wealthy family in the city, and also the next head of the family. This piece of land is her asset.

Because of his upbringing and nature, he usually remains cold.

But this indifference was definitely not the reason why she could remain calm when facing the headless corpse lying in front of her.

When she saw the dismembered body, she did not scream and run away like a normal person, nor did she call the police. She just stood there quietly, letting the blood and rain mix and fall on her body.

Everything in the whole world was so silent. She looked up at the sky, as if she was in deep thought, or as if she was answering something.

"Did you do this? Weaving."

She asked softly, hoping to get the answer she wanted from the mouth of another personality in her mind.

But after a long time, Zhi still didn't answer her.

Xie made Liang Yishi feel even more uneasy.

This was the nth time that a corpse had suddenly appeared in front of her, but for some reason, every time she saw a corpse she didn't feel frightened at all. Instead, she felt some enjoyment, even joy.

This is not right. This is very not right.

Although Ryougi Shiki admitted that she was not a kind person by nature, she longed to kill people. She wanted to experience the feeling of inserting a knife into a human body and wanted to witness the moment of life passing away in front of her.

This feeling has existed for a long time, and has become even stronger recently.

But the biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can control their desires, so Ryougi Shiki has been enduring from beginning to end, constantly suppressing his own nature.

She didn't want to take her life for such a ridiculous reason, and she always adhered to what her grandfather taught her.

"A person can only kill one person in his lifetime."

"Yes. Because it will kill us in the end, so we only have the right to kill once."

Looking at the body on the ground and then at her own hands, Ryougi Shiki was sure that she had not killed anyone, but why did this person die in front of her while she was in a trance? The residual warmth mixed with the rich blood and the throbbing in her heart made her wonder if it was another personality "woven" in her body.

Ryougi Ori is another personality that exists in her body. They are interdependent and coexist with each other, but she also knows that Ori also has the urge to kill, even stronger than herself.

But she is the main personality after all, and Zhi is just a secondary personality. Under her constraints, it is impossible for Zhi to kill people with this body, so what is going on?

But the corpse appeared in front of him, who else could be the murderer other than Zhi?

In the rain, Ryougi Shiki kept thinking about this possibility and fell into deep self-doubt.

If it was really Zhi who took control of her body and killed someone while she was in a trance, then what should she do?

Should I turn myself in to the police?

Still need to...

Tick, tick...

The sound of rain falling on the stone road is very crisp, and the sound of the hard wooden shoes touching the stone road is loud and harsh.

On the quiet path in the bamboo forest, a slender figure wearing a black kimono and an evil spirit mask appeared behind Ryougi Shiki.

Da da da--

His steps were heavy, and he didn't think of hiding anything, which made Ryougi Shiki react quickly. She turned around suddenly and saw the tall male figure staring at her not far away.

The mask blocked his face, and Ryougi Shiki could only see the mask made of steel that looked like a devil.

It's just like the Prajna in ancient paintings.

But for some reason, Ryougi Shiki felt a sense of familiarity from the figure that appeared in the rain. When she saw the mask that looked like an evil spirit that was ready to devour anyone, she did not feel fear but instead felt at ease.

Although the eyes under the mask were deep, they made her feel very familiar. She seemed to have seen him somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.

But she subconsciously felt that this mysterious figure would definitely be able to solve her doubts.

So she asked, "Who are you? Do you know what's going on? Can you help me?"

Even Shi herself was not sure, but the first time she saw this person, she subconsciously wanted to rely on this figure.

"..."

However, the mysterious figure did not answer her, but just stared into Ryougi Shiki's eyes, then suddenly stretched out his arm and pointed in a farther direction.

Shi looked in the direction.

hum-

There was just a low sound, and the whole world seemed to collapse. Boundless darkness flooded into the sight. Ryougi Shiki closed her eyes again in confusion and lost consciousness.

Soon the world turned upside down and entered the next stage.

……

……

All I saw before my eyes was a desolate scene. The evening breeze that blew in from somewhere seemed to carry the color of blood.

In this bloody ruin, only Shiki and Ori were left.

Yes, two people.

In this dark and depressing world, a person with two personalities sharing the same body is wandering aimlessly.

However, this time, Zhi was in control of the body, and Shiki could only watch.

I couldn't do anything, couldn't make a sound, and could only watch Zhi make the choice.

After walking for a long time, Zhi felt his throat dry and his legs became heavier. He swallowed and walked forward with heavy steps.

He keeps moving forward...

He saw many things in this desolate scene...

There were human corpses everywhere on the roadside, on the mountains, and in the ruins.

Is this hell? He couldn't help wondering.

He saw countless different tragic deaths among the endless corpses...

At first, he just kept moving forward slowly, until he saw more and more corpses, and then he started to run faster and faster...

Although he didn't know why, he subconsciously wanted to run forward, as if doing so could help him escape from this hell.

until……

Many familiar figures appeared before my eyes.

As if something was stuck in his throat, Zhi kept telling himself not to continue looking, but his eyes had already uncontrollably taken in everything.

The figures closest to him were first the members of the Yin-Yang Group who could not be named, and the corpses of the servants. They were lying on the ground in the wilderness, with ferocious looks in their eyes.

Then there was the brother who had lost his heart, and the mother and father whose heads were chopped off by a sharp blade. The bright red blood was still gushing out of their bodies, looking extremely horrifying.

"No, don't come over!!"

He screamed, trying to escape from the ruins.

Further ahead, further ahead...
