Public executions started with King Adonai

"Is this an illusion of seeing through the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

"How is that possible? It's clearly created by an illusion, how can it see through the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

"Well, could it be that we misunderstood, and he wasn't actually talking about the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but noticed something else? Like some kind of illusion magic?"

"Yes, yes, that's right. It's possible that they're talking about other Servants or Masters. After all, it seems that this Matou Shinji is very powerful. He should be able to notice the other contestants."

"Honestly, I suddenly felt like I was seeing Tōsaka Tokiomi at the beginning of the Fourth Holy Grail War."

"You didn't really find out, did you?"

"Everyone, is there a possibility that the 'one guardian' the guardians are looking for is actually this mysterious Matou Shinji?"

Chapter 372: Shinji: Humans have their limits, so...

The images on the screen contained so much information from Shinji Matou's last words that people were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and countless discussions followed.

At the Emiya residence, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but look at Matou Shinji beside him in surprise: "Shinji, what's going on? What's going on with you in there?"

Matou Shinji shook his head. "How could I possibly know such a thing? It's obvious that there's a huge gap between me and the me reflected on the screen. My life experiences must be completely different. I even suspect that the me reflected on the screen is no longer human."

Everyone was immediately surprised. Toosaka Rin complained, "Hey, Shinji, what do you mean by not being human? Do you think humans have their limits, so you're not human anymore?"

This complaint is not from Rin Toosaka, but from Shinji Matou who once expressed in a very childish way that the human body is too fragile and mechanical or electronic ascension is the only way out.

When she heard this, Toosaka Rin couldn't understand the meaning of it, so she complained that Shinji Matou didn't want to be a good person and insisted on being a robot.

In the girl's understanding, what Shinji Matou said meant that he wanted to make a robot.

Shinji Matou naturally didn't bother to say much about this troublesome girl who didn't understand science fiction and romance. After all, they had no common language, so when he encountered such questions in the past, he was too lazy to answer them.

However, this time, facing the complaints, Matou Shinji said meaningfully: "Maybe you are right this time, Tousaka."

Toosaka Rin: "Huh?"

Matou Sakura next to her frowned and said, "Brother, are you saying that the you in the light screen image may have undergone electronic modification of your body?"

Obviously, compared to Tohsaka Rin, Matou Sakura has a wider knowledge of this kind of science fiction, and can keep up with Matou Shinji's thinking.

Matou Shinji nodded. "That's possible, but the image on the screen probably only dates back to the early 21st century. The technology available there is completely inadequate to support the possibility of electronic ascension that I'm imagining. Perhaps magical means are being used to assist?"

With an uncertain tone, Shinji Matou couldn't understand the thoughts of "himself" in the image on the screen. There was no picture at all, only some sounds, so he couldn't imagine it.

The image on the light screen shifted to Emiya Shirou.

The boy had already run back home and his head was no longer confused.

However, the near-death experience still left the young man in shock and fear.

At the same time, he also cares about the heart-shaped necklace he picked up. Although there is no clear evidence, I feel that it was the owner of the necklace who saved him, but I don't know who the owner of the necklace is.

Then, at this moment when the moon was high in the sky, the bells around the Emiya residence suddenly rang violently, as if an alarm was ringing.

Shirou Emiya was stunned, and memories instantly appeared in his mind.

In the picture, the little boy Shirou Emiya, who is about ten years old, looks at Kiritsugu Emiya with a puzzled look as he hangs red strings all over the Emiya mansion and ties bells on the red strings.

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu was very thin, obviously weak from a long illness, and not far from death.

And it was this Emiya Kiritsugu who, after finishing the rope and bell, showed a gentle smile and said that this was a magical barrier for warning. If anyone entered the Emiya family without permission in the future, the barrier would sound an alarm, and this barrier could continue to be used even after his death as long as Emiya Shirou regularly injected magic power until it was completely destroyed.

Obviously, Emiya Kiritsugu in the image on the light screen knew that he didn't have much time left, but he was still worried about his adopted son, trying his best to pave the way for his adopted son and ensure his safety.

The gentle smile that appeared on Emiya Kiritsugu's face made people doubt whether this man was really Emiya Kiritsugu. He was truly extremely gentle.

Even though he was terminally ill, he never showed his bad side in front of his children and was the image of a perfect father.

Honestly, the real-world audiences were stunned, especially with the Fourth Holy Grail War as a stark contrast.

It is really hard to believe that this is Kiritsugu Emiya. Many people even suspect that this is another person wearing the skin of Kiritsugu Emiya. It is simply the same person written by two authors, even the style of painting is different.

On the screen, Shirou Emiya's flashback ended, and he realized that someone had broken in.

At that moment, he looked around, looking for weapons that could be used.

Soon, his eyes locked on a poster not far away. He rushed over, rolled up the poster as quickly as possible, and immediately used strengthening magic.

"Projection, start!"

The blue magic power was infused into the rolled-up poster, and instantly the blue magic stripes covered the entire poster, giving the poster, which was obviously just paper, super hardness.

At the same time, a blue figure suddenly broke through the wooden wall next to him and rushed in, piercing towards Shirou Emiya with a red spear.

Faced with this sudden attack, Shirou Emiya quickly dodged and subconsciously used the poster in his hand to resist.

There was a clang as the poster and the spear collided, just like hitting the spear with a metal rod, which actually slightly deflected the attack angle of the spear. Emiya Shirou also successfully avoided the attack at the critical moment.

However, this was obviously because the sudden attack from the blue spearman was just casually attacking without even using much strength, otherwise he would definitely not be able to block this attack.

Seeing that the attack failed, the blue spearman couldn't help but let out a surprised sound, then raised his leg and kicked Emiya Shirou, kicking the boy out and rolling several times on the ground.

However, Shirou Emiya also took the opportunity to distance himself from the blue spearman, and when the impact force was almost dissipated, he knelt on one knee on the ground to stabilize his body.

Seeing this, the blue spearman grinned and said, "Well done, boy. So you're a magician. No wonder I didn't kill you."

"But, to be honest, killing the same person twice in one day still bothers me a little."

"Well, war is such a cruel thing, and there is no way around it."

"Well, kid, I'll play with you! I hope you can last a little longer this time."

Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth nervously and whispered, "Construction material, reinforcement!"

After further strengthening, the blue magic power was injected into the poster in his hand again, making the magic light pattern attached to it more intense.

Seeing this, the blue spearman grinned, then attacked Emiya Shirou.

His strength was not great, nor was his speed fast, and was completely incomparable to the strength he displayed in the battle with Red A.

Now, the blue spearman is releasing the sea and teasing Emiya Shirou in a playful manner.

After all, one of the two is a human being and the other is a heroic spirit, so they are not the same.

Shirou Emiya was badly beaten right after that. Even if the blue spearmen were deployed in full force, they were unable to make up for the absolute gap between the two.

Soon, Shirou Emiya was knocked out of the room and kicked hard. He flew more than ten meters away and finally landed next to the warehouse. The poster in his hand was instantly folded and badly damaged.

After all, it's just an ordinary poster, not a magical artifact, even if it was strengthened by Shirou Emiya's magic.

Being able to fight a few moves with the Blue Lancer servant really means that the Blue Lancer is letting the sea go. And when the Blue Lancer exerts a little strength, he can just kick the poster and fold it up.

Then, Shirou Emiya fell to the ground, his body twitching and whimpering softly.

However, the boy knew that now was not the time to lie there, as if he did that he would be close to death.

So, even though his body was in great pain, Shirou Emiya still gritted his teeth and crawled up from the ground amid the tense BGM.

Seeing this, the blue spearman said helplessly, "I clearly want you to die quickly, yet you're still putting up this pointless resistance."

In response, Shirou Emiya just gritted his teeth, glanced at the blue spearman, and immediately ran towards the warehouse.

There are a lot of things in there, maybe there are some that can be used - that's what Shirou Emiya went there with.

The blue spearman clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction: "Tsk, if you're a man, just be quick."

What's the point of being happy?

Do you want to die happily?

Who would want to do this?

People in the real world complained about the Blue Lancer's attitude, thinking that this guy was simply playing with Shirou Emiya, just like a cat playing with a caught mouse.

At the same time, he also feels very sympathetic towards Shirou Emiya.

He was inexplicably dragged into the Holy Grail War, and was first almost killed, and then tortured. The whole situation can only be described as miserable.

Seeing Shirou Emiya in such a miserable state, people suddenly feel that it is understandable that he will achieve such great success in the future.

After all, according to the rule that when God gives a person a great task, he must first suffer a setback, Shirou Emiya suffered so many setbacks at the beginning of the Holy Grail War, which also laid the foundation for his future rise.

Of course, for those who care about Shirou Emiya in the real world, seeing Shirou Emiya so miserable, they are also very distressed and full of resentment towards the blue spearman.

-

The image on the light screen shows the inside of the warehouse.

After Emiya Shirou ran in, he immediately looked around, trying to find something he could use.

Soon, the boy's attention was attracted by something.

It was something hidden by many boxes, a circular magic circle that was emitting a soft white light.

Then, a memory scene immediately appeared.

That was when Emiya Kiritsugu was still alive, and Emiya Shirou was even younger, about seven or eight years old.

Standing at the door of the warehouse, Shirou Emiya saw Kiritsugu Emiya, wearing the black coat that was very familiar to people in the real world, squatting in the warehouse and carving something.

Emiya Shirou asked curiously, "Dad, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu turned around and gave Emiya Shirou a smile, then turned back to continue carving and whispered, "It's nothing, just a summoning circle representing a miracle. I added a few runes representing the Knights of the Round Table. Maybe later..."

Having said this, Emiya Kiritsugu paused, his voice becoming low and melancholy: "Well, it's nothing. This is just a wish that may never come true..."

"Ellie..."

When he finally pronounced that name, Emiya Kiritsugu's voice was filled with sadness, pain, and endless melancholy.

Then, Emiya Shirou's voice rang out.

"At that time, I was only eight years old and didn't understand what was wrong with my father..."

The words fell, and the memories ended. At this moment, Emiya Shirou sensed something, and quickly turned around and pulled out the poster in his hand to block it in front of him.

The next moment, a red spear came stabbing, but was blocked by the enhanced poster.

However, it only blocked it for a moment. The terrifying power of the spear shattered the poster in less than a second, and Shirou Emiya screamed and flew backwards under the terrifying impact. Finally, he hit the wall of the warehouse with a bang and bounced back to the ground.

At this moment, Emiya Shirou felt like his body was falling apart, and there was no part of him that didn't hurt.

However, this boy, who was only seventeen years old, still gritted his teeth and persisted, struggling to stand up.

Chapter 373 Mordred, Answering the Call

On the screen, a blue spearman pointed his red spear at Shirou Emiya on the ground and said in a cold voice, "Checkmate, kid. I was surprised that you blocked my attack just now."

"However, judging from your performance, although you know some magic, you are a complete layman. Didn't the person who taught you magic teach you what a real magician should do?"

Shirou Emiya didn't answer and tried to stand up. However, his body had suffered a series of severe injuries. The pain all over his body made him twitch constantly, and his legs supported his body and swayed.

Seeing this, the blue spearman praised: "You can still stand like this, you have good aptitude. Are you also a 'Master'?"

Emiya Shirou didn't understand: "Master?"

The blue spearman narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, and then made a gesture as if he was ready to shoot Emiya Shirou: "Well, never mind, let's stop here! I've wasted too much time."

Seeing this scene, Shirou Emiya felt a strong threat of death. He gritted his teeth, raised his right hand and covered his left chest.

There, the broken wound still had blood on it, which was the wound caused by the gunman in the school.

At this moment, a voice filled with resentment rang out: "Are you kidding? I was just saved. Now that I'm saved, I can't die so easily!"

"I can't die meaninglessly like this! I won't let you kill me!"

In an instant, the nostalgic scene belonging to the protagonist reappeared.

It was a sunny afternoon. The young Emiya Shirou and the haggard Emiya Kiritsugu, wearing a yukata, sat on the tatami and looked at the courtyard.

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Shirou, actually, my dream is to be a partner of justice..."

Emiya Shirou was stunned: "Dad, do you want to be a hero?"

"Ah, yes..." Emiya Kiritsugu closed his eyes, smiling, yet feeling lost. "But that was in the past. I gave up on this dream a long time ago..."

Emiya Shirou fell silent after hearing this. After a while, he said with a firm face: "Well, Dad, it's a deal. I will inherit your dream, become a partner of justice, and become a hero!"

Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes and looked at Emiya Shirou.

What he saw was Shirou Emiya, who was young but had a determined face and unwavering emotions in his eyes.
