Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 949 The Dream of the Southern Kingdom
The memory should be the mottled old photos, yellow, moldy, incomplete, and the blurred black and white figures cannot be clearly seen.

However, there are always a few photos that are driven by strong emotions and resist the invasion of time. Even after ten or twenty years, there will be no change.

Now, these photos have been dug out.The picture on it is too clear, the colors are too thick, too thick, which makes people's heart involuntarily pick up and dance uncontrollably, without much power to remind him of his current state.

Memories from 20 years ago should not be like this.

Now he is more like being in the 3D cinema that is gradually emerging nowadays, so natural, so immersive, the hero in the movie is himself, and the heroine is the two women who slowly sit up from the ground.

The movie is divided into two phases, the first half takes place in his teenage years.At that time, he and his father had just moved to a closed island in the tropics. He always wore dark blue jeans and an orange vest, running around the island with large areas of sun-tanned skin exposed. Chasing the back of a certain girl.

The girl is an ordinary girl on the island, named Xia Lei, who became her father's assistant because of her intelligence.

To be honest, he was quite dissatisfied at first, because the most respected father actually had assistants other than himself.But it didn't take long for his heart to be attracted by the girl's liveliness and gentleness, and he began to revolve around her.

He would always sit in the passenger seat with her when she drove into town to buy groceries.The backward and xenophobic residents also began to gradually accept him because of the existence of the girl.

"Because Kelly is my brother."

The girl always said this to him, which of course moved the boy very much. He lost his mother when he was young.There is no memory of my mother.Because he always moved with his father, there was no room for women to stay in his life for more than ten years, until Xia Lei appeared.

Xia Lei respected his father as her own father, and loved him like a younger brother.But with the passage of time, a wonderful impulse sprouted in the boy's heart—is she really his sister?

After spending this period of time together, he understood her, knew that she was kind, bright and intelligent, and also knew how much she loved him.But not only that, the girl's unintentional every move, such as the profile of the girl walking on the beach with her head down, such as an inadvertent glance back while humming a little tune, made him feel his cheeks burn.

Time passed slowly in the youthful relationship between the boy and the girl. The boy has become no different from the local children. The only thing that has not changed is his pursuit of the girl.

The never-fading white dress was like a big white butterfly, fluttering in front of him, sometimes approaching, sometimes far away, together with the girl's crisp voice.

"Now, Kelly, do you know where this island got its name from?"

……

"I was often taught by Father Simon, saying that if I worked in your house, I would definitely be spotted by the devil."

……

"Kelly, your father is a very remarkable person, and I respect him very much. His knowledge and discoveries are all very remarkable, any one of them is enough to overturn the world, of course it will make people feel scared, so it must be hidden... But to be honest, I always wonder how good it would be if I could use that power to contribute to the world."

……

"Although he has given up, Kelly, I think if it was you, it would definitely be possible."

……

"I'm not an apprentice, at most I'm an assistant. I do odd jobs and help out, but most importantly your father didn't teach me anything. But Kelly, you must be the villain who inherited everything from your father. Because all the research your father is doing now is in preparation for one day letting you inherit it. So it's just not the right time."

Looking back, this might be the beginning of the tragedy. If he could be more careful and considerate, and be able to see through the unwillingness and loneliness in the girl's eyes, he might be able to save everything.

Unfortunately, there is no if in reality.At that time, he was flustered by the girl's playful smile and surprise speech, and missed the last chance.

Then, everything changed, and the beautiful girl disappeared from his sight forever.

She - died.

pale skin.

The blue-black veins emerging from under the skin covered the entire cheek like cracks.

The painful twitching expression is the same as that of a dying person.

You can tell at a glance...the thing is dead.

Although dead, it is still active.

He was very clear in his mind that although "this thing" looked human, it had already completely turned into something inhuman.

It was dark outside.Of course, there were no street lights on this island, but even so bright moonlight still came in quietly through the window, clearly illuminating the scene of the tragedy.

Here is the chicken coop outside the village.For some unknown reason, the girl did not appear during the day.The boy ran all over the village looking for her, and came here even after dark.

The corpses of broiler chickens were all over the ground.The boy walked to the depths of the chicken coop, beside the trembling and weeping dead man.

kill me--

That thing's face was exactly the same as the boy's favorite woman, sobbing and begging.

The silver dagger was gently thrown to the boy's feet, shining ominously under the moonlight—it was the thing that Father Simon in the village used to defend the girl, but now he wanted to use this self-defense to end the girl's life.

I am scared--

I can't do it myself-

So please, it's up to you to...kill me—

It's not too late to--

"how is this possible……"

The boy shook his head and stepped back.

How could she do it.

No matter what she becomes, she is who she is.Favorite family member—no, she is more important than family members.

Please--

The girl gasped in pain, a row of jagged and sharp teeth emerged from her mouth.While weeping like crazy, he exhaled like a beast.

I've--can't--before I can't hold back--

The girl was shaking and struggling like a fever, and she bit her arm with her bare teeth.

Nourishes...

The sound of sipping blood stimulated his eardrums.

please--

The boy's own screams covered up the constant begging, and he ran out of the chicken coop.

Deep down in his heart, he already knew what happened, but at that time he refused to accept the sad reality.

He doesn't want to believe that the person he loves the most has turned into a ghoul.

He simply and wishfully thought that she could be saved after becoming a ghoul.

Because of his escape, the peace of the southern island was broken.

He told Father Simon in the village about Xia Lei's abnormality, and begged for his help.Father Simon reported this anomaly to the Holy See's dark organization, the Church of the Holy Church.

Not long after, the church's executioner, the agent, came to the island.

At the same time, the pursuers of another big organization, the executors of the Magic Association, who had been chasing him and his father and forcing them to move, also came.

Together, they turned this deadly island into a sea of ​​flames, and they wiped out all life on the island.The many warm smiles I saw there are gone forever.

Only he survived by chance, because of the appearance of another heroine.

At that moment, the movie came to the second half.

It was also at that moment that he truly regained his own name.

The teenager's name wasn't Kelly at all.He was born in the far eastern country, and his name is not easy to pronounce for the people of this land.At first, the girl called him by the short name of Kelly, and then this name became a fixed name among the islanders.The boy had already half-give up accepting this title.Rather than being called by the strange pronunciation of "Kelly Dugu", the abbreviation is better.

The correct name should be Kiritsugu (Kiritsugu) - the designated magician of the seal, the son of Emiya Juxian.

PS: If I remember correctly, the title seems to be the name of a Samsung dress in FGO.

PS2: After thinking about it, in order to prevent Kiritsugu’s emotional expression from being too abrupt, let’s write about Kiritsugu’s boyhood and youth past. The explanation will be completed in three chapters. Try to explain it more clearly in your own way like Medea , Why did Kiritsugu become a lone star of the gods who drowned with ideals, and why he could kill his family members with his own hands.

PS3: If you already know it well, you can choose to skip it.
