Public executions started with King Adonai

In a room in the Matou family's house, a young man with silver hair suddenly woke up and sat up abruptly.

"Huh, huh, huh... I, I'm still alive?"

The sound of confusion is also a sound familiar to people in the real world.

Tōsaka Tokiomi was surprised: "This voice..."

Toosaka Aoi covered her mouth in surprise: "Kariye..."

Matou Shinji: "Uncle Kariya!"

Matou Sakura: "Dad... is he still alive!?"

Yes, the person who suddenly woke up in the Matou mansion in the light screen image was none other than Matou Kariya!

Matou Kariya, who should have been dead, had his body swallowed by Matou Sakura's shadow!

This man is not dead?

No, I should say...

This man was resurrected!

what is the problem?

Could it be that……

Is it the doll Sakura?

She devoured Matou Kariya, but actually saved Matou Kariya in her own way!?

Many people instantly remembered that Aizen Tokiomi had said more than once that the puppet Sakura, as a puppet, had her own thoughts and emotions.

Although it is very faint, so faint that it can be ignored for ordinary people, it is something strong enough to cause drastic changes to the dolls without emotions and self-thoughts.

This point has become very clear after watching the story of Solomon, the perfect tool man - when Solomon changed from a perfect tool man without his own thoughts to a person with his own ideas and who wanted to make a wish to the Holy Grail, the change before and after was already incredible.

Therefore, it seems reasonable for the puppet Sakura to perform incredible actions now.

Although it is incredible and unexpected, this huge change is undoubtedly "reasonable".

However, in the image on the light screen, the resurrected Matou Kariya is obviously not a normal person. His hair is gray, his pupils are red, and his skin is pale and bloodless. Although his body, which has become bulging due to the transformation of insect magic, has recovered, his body gives people a very evil feeling, and his fangs can be clearly seen protruding from his open mouth.

When he saw the sunlight shining through the curtains, a look of obvious disgust appeared on Matou Kariya's face. It was not intentional, but an instinctive reaction of his body.

Everything seems to indicate that although Matou Kariya has been resurrected, he is no longer human.

Then, suddenly, Matou Kariya's eyes widened, his pupils glowed red, and he involuntarily covered his heart, but then he was horrified to discover something.

"No... heartbeat..."

Then, his Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed, and looked extremely hungry. His body trembled constantly, cold sweat kept pouring down, and he let out a low roar like a monster.

"So hungry... so hungry..."

"I want to eat... I want to eat... I want..."

“Blood…”

In an instant, Matou Kariya was shocked again, his face full of horror. He couldn't believe that he actually had such a desire. He sweated even more, his will was in violent conflict with the desire of hunger, and he gasped for breath.

"Sakura...what...did you...do to me..."

Pain, struggle, discomfort.

This man, in the Matou residence, wailed in pain like a hungry trapped animal.

In the real world, people saw this scene and understood what happened.

"This Matou Kariya, if nothing unexpected happens, should have been turned into a vampire, right?"

"According to the supernatural world, they should be called Dead Apostles. And this change should be different from the traditional Dead Apostles. I feel that they are a bit similar to Emiya Kiritsugu's childhood sweetheart Xia Lei."

"Stop talking, my PTSD is about to strike again."

"Matou Kariya is really too miserable, isn't he? Not to mention the pain he suffered in life, but after death he was transformed into a Dead Apostle. Judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't feel happy or joyful about becoming a Dead Apostle at all."

"Oh my god, Sakura the puppet is the devil."

"Don't be a devil, I am the core of the evil god created by Aizen, I can be said to be the body of the evil god."

"The puppet Sakura probably did this to save Matou Kariya."

"This kind of rescue is truly terrifying. It's not something a normal person can endure."

"What's wrong with becoming a Dead Apostle? Immortality, great power, and no fear of illness. It's simply the ultimate creature that humans dream of!"

"Don't take it too far. They use the lives of others to maintain their own survival as undead creatures. They're a typical evil villain."

"Right, right, right. Even if you're as ruthless as a ruthless capitalist and don't mind drinking other people's blood to survive, don't forget that in that timeline, there's a Holy Church that specializes in hunting down Dead Apostles. If the extraordinary people knew that Matou Kariya had become a Dead Apostle, he would definitely be hunted endlessly."

"Ah, the puppet Sakura's original intention may be good, but she is not human and does not understand human emotions. As a puppet, she only saved Matou Kariya in the way she thought was right."

"Matou Kariya, in terms of the most miserable person in the Fourth Holy Grail War, he is definitely ranked first. Even Kayneth was not as miserable as him."

People expressed their sympathy for Matou Kariya. This man was truly miserable.

He can't even rest in peace after death, and has to be resurrected and dragged into being a dead apostle who can only live in darkness. If this were a simple story, the one who arranged this kind of plot must be the Warrior of Love, who likes to do something dark and cruel.

As the person involved in the real world, Matou Kariya is full of helplessness and depression.

He thought that his story of social death was over, but who knew that he would be dragged out and whipped at the end, which made him feel deep malice and sadness.

Seriously, this is not the way to bully people.

Then, in this situation, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Matou Kariya, a Dead Apostle created by the 'Evil God', is already a high-ranking Dead Apostle even at the moment of his birth. He's truly remarkable..."

Suddenly, Matou Kariya raised his head and looked towards a mysterious man who appeared in the corner of the room at some point in time.

Since the camera is using Matou Kariya's first-person perspective at this time, you can see that his eyes, which are emitting red light, are completely infrared thermal sensing vision. The mysterious man standing there cannot be seen clearly, but is just a human-shaped ball of red heat energy.

Then, Matou Kariya moved, and the bed under him exploded. The next moment, his body was in front of the person who came, and he showed his fangs, trying madly to bite the person's neck.

Chapter 334: Everything is worth it for Sakura

The image on the light screen, accompanied by the tense BGM, appeared in the next instant, and Matou Kariya's vision suddenly began to spin.

Then, the camera changed from Matou Kariya's first-person perspective, and a hand was seen grabbing Matou Kariya's face, with a milky white light blooming in the hand. This was a kind of sacred power, which had a restraining effect on the current Matou Kariya, and instantly made him feel like he was struck by lightning. The owner of the hand took advantage of the situation and pressed down hard, pressing Matou Kariya directly to the ground.

The next moment, short swords suddenly shot out, piercing through Matou Kariya's hands, feet, arms, and thighs and nailing them to the ground.

Looking closely, I saw that these daggers were the Black Keys.

The technique was quite skillful. The black key, which possessed divine power and had a restraining effect on dark and filthy things, was combined with the divine power in the mysterious man's hands, instantly suppressing the new Dead Apostle Matou Kariya so that he could not move and could only open his mouth to let out meaningless roars.

Faced with this situation, people were surprised, and then unbelievable.

Because judging from the fighting techniques, the clothes revealed, and the familiar voice, it proves that this is definitely an 'acquaintance' of people in the real world.

When the camera moved to the man's face, everyone thought, "It's him."

Kotomine Kirei!

The man who woke up shortly after Aizen left and then disappeared from the ruins of Sonzo Mountain now appeared here.

People in the real world were extremely surprised and couldn't understand why Kotomine Kirei appeared here. Could it be that he sensed the breath of the Dead Apostles and came here to hunt down Matou Kariya?

Matou Kariya's life was truly miserable. He was about to be killed just after becoming a Dead Apostle. This was truly beyond the ability to describe in words.

The image on the light screen shows that at this moment, Kotomine Kirei has no expression on his face. He no longer has the seriousness of his chivalrous personality, nor the distortion and perversion of his idiosyncratic personality. What he has is only indifference and nothingness.

A pair of lifeless eyes, as if they had discarded all emotions and turned into an emotionless machine.

Then, Kotomine Kirei used the Black Key to cut his palm, moved the bleeding hand over the mouth of Matō Kariya, and just stood there feeding blood to Matō Kariya who was lying on the ground.

The blood contained a milky white sacred power, but at the same time it was mixed with some ominous curses.

"The blood of a priest, imbued with divine magic, is extremely poisonous to apostles. But my blood is different. Like you, I possess all the evil of this world from the evil god. You and I are both blessed by the evil god. Therefore, my blood can restore your sanity."

As Kotomine Kirei said these words, blood dripped into Matou Kariya's mouth, and this blood-thirsty man swallowed Kotomine Kirei's cursed blood under the instinctive drive.

In an instant, Matou Kariya felt a vibration like a beating pulse, and then he roared in pain, his tendons bulging all over his body, which was very terrifying.

However, the murderous look in his eyes gradually faded, and his eyes, which were glowing with a faint red light, gradually regained their rationality.

Not long after, the swollen veins all over his body subsided, and Matou Kariya gradually returned to normal. He was gasping for breath, his pupils trembling, but he had regained his sanity.

After his pupils gradually focused, Matou Kariya looked at Kotomine Kirei, and the latter was also looking at him.

The two men looked at each other, as if they had endless words to communicate.

When people in the real world saw this scene, they were shocked again and felt very surprised. They could never have imagined that Kotomine Kirei actually wanted to help Matou Kariya.

The two had never met before and had no connection, so why did Kotomine Kirei come all the way to help Matou Kariya after he revived?

Could it be that, as Kotomine Kirei had just said, both of them were aliens who continued to live because of the evil gods and all the evil in this world, so they had to stick together for warmth?

But a guy like Yanfeng Kirei doesn't look like the kind of person who would huddle together with others for warmth!

-

The camera switches at this moment. Matou Kariya and Kotomine Kirei have come to the sofa in the living room and are sitting face to face. The background music also starts playing at this moment.

Then, Matou Kariya, with a dejected look on his face, said, "Thank you for saving me, but you must be a priest of the Cathedral Church, right? Why did you save me? I've clearly become... a monster..."

When he said the latter part, he looked lonely and very uncomfortable. It was obvious that he found it difficult to accept the fact that he had become a non-human.

Kotomine Kirei simply said calmly, "I just made a deal with the evil god, so I'm helping you this time."

Matou Kariya looked confused: "Evil God? What evil god?"

Kotomine Kirei: “…”

There is no answer, but the camera quickly moves in on his face at this moment, and then the memories unfold.

Endless darkness, endless pictures of nothingness.

Two broken spirits floated in the empty darkness, ready to disappear at any moment.

Then, a small white hand stretched out, and the two spirits floated over, then condensed and merged in the small hand, and finally flew out from the small hand and floated to the front.

The next moment, the spirit quickly changed its form and turned into a human figure, and then the human figure turned into the appearance of Kotomine Kirei - in order to avoid being censored, he was wearing clothes and not floating naked.

Then, the owner of the mysterious little hand was revealed. It was Sakura, a doll wearing a purple dress.

At this moment, Kotomine Kirei was exactly the same as the Kotomine Kirei in the image on the screen just now, with an indifferent expression and lifeless eyes. After he appeared, he was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself.

"I'm resurrected again?"

"No, I am not 'I'. I am not the personality created by Tōsaka Tokiomi, nor am I my true self. Both of these personalities are broken."

"I am the product of the fusion of these two personalities: an individual constructed by 'God', and the only remaining 'Kotomine Kirei'."

He raised his head and looked at the puppet Sakura, staring at her expressionless face and eyes without highlights.

"God of Evil, why did you save me?"

The puppet Sakura raised her head slightly, and a thought was transmitted into Kotomine Kirei's consciousness.

Kotomine Kirei narrowed his eyes. "This is... a poor soul that you saved? However, resurrection as a human is no longer possible. As an evil god, you can only save a human by using 'evil'. So, the resurrected human is no longer human, but an undead creature created based on the Dead Apostles?"

"How ridiculous! Asking a clergyman to help a dead apostle? Is this worthy of being called an evil god?"

Although he was telling a ridiculous story, Kotomine Kirei's face showed no expression, not even a forced smile.

This kind of Kotomine Kirei was very different from the Kotomine Kirei that people knew, as if he had lost something called 'emotion'.

Then, Kotomine Kirei continued, "However, I am a cursed being, and you were the one who saved me, so I have no right to say anything."

"So, I agree to your terms. I will go find that poor fellow you mentioned and let him live as a Dead Apostle."

Hearing this, the puppet Sakura slowly closed her eyes. Although there was no expression on her face, at this moment she gave people a very human feeling as if she had put down a heavy burden and felt relieved.

After that, it completely turned into particles of light and dissipated right in front of Kotomine Kirei.

This is the end of the recollection, and the cause and effect are explained.

People suddenly understood what was going on. It turned out that it was the puppet Sakura who allowed Kotomine Kirei to wake up. The reason for doing this was to allow Kotomine Kirei, a cursed person who was also infected by all the evils of this incident, to help Matou Kariya who had turned into a Dead Apostle.

Kotomine Kirei told Matou Kariya the whole story, and as Matou Kariya listened to these words, his expression gradually became dull, his eyes gradually lost their luster, his head gradually drooped, his arms rested on his legs, and his hands pressed down on his head.

"Is this what Sakura did to me... And, Sakura... I've already remembered... Aoi, there's no daughter named Sakura at all. That so-called daughter suddenly appeared two years ago..."
