Chapter 953 The reason for surviving

What Xia Lei and Natalia are facing is a veritable dead end.

The island where Xia Lei was located was under double siege by the executors and agents.The executors are not bad, their target is Emiya Jixian, and they will not specifically target the dead disciples.Agents are different, they are the church's experts in combating heresy, and vampires must be eliminated.

Every agent can detect and capture the existence of vampires through breath, and it is impossible for Xia Lei to escape the pursuit of the agents in the state at that time.

The same is true for Natalia. The closed cockpit of the passenger plane and the flying altitude of the plane make it impossible for Natalia to escape from the plane.Even if the missile didn't hit the cockpit, the highly transformed kinetic energy was enough to kill her. No matter how she used magic to strengthen her body, or even being stung by a "dead bee" and turning into a ghoul, it was useless.

Because of this, when the two appeared in front of Kiritsugu, Kiritsugu would think it was a dream or an illusion.

In this regard, Xia Lei and Natalia each gave an explanation.

Being able to ask Kiritsugu to kill herself proves that Xia Lei still has self-awareness, she knows that she looks terrible, she knows that she can no longer exist like this, neither human nor ghost, life would be better than death.

Although she didn't dare to stab herself to death because of her survival instinct, she still made an effort in her own way.After Kiritsugu left, she found a cave far away from the village, shut herself in, sealed the cave entrance with all means, and waited to die inside.

Because of her previous blood-sucking behavior, the ghouls on the island have a tendency to spread.The agents directly burned the whole island indiscriminately because the ghouls spread and were difficult to eradicate, so they had to take such extreme measures.

After purifying the entire island with flames, the agent took it for granted that all the ghouls were dead, so how could he have thought that there were still ghouls who came out to attack humans and animals in order to prevent their uncontrollable desire for flesh and blood? Close yourself up.

The closed environment and the raging flames also became the best cover for the smell, and Xia Lei escaped by accident like this.

Of course, this does not mean that Xia Lei can continue to exist.The reason why ghouls are called ghouls rather than deadmen is that they desperately need fresh flesh and blood, and this unquenchable desire will make them no different from livestock.Without the supplement of flesh and blood, the body of the ghoul will gradually collapse, completely disappearing from the world without leaving any trace.

Even if instinct defeated rationality again and broke through the blockade to leave the cave, it would be the same, because the agents had already burned all the creatures on the island, and there was an inexhaustible supply of flesh and blood in the surrounding ocean, but vampires were destined to be unable to survive the flowing water. So she can't get supplements from the sea.

Not long after, Xia Lei, who had lost her source of flesh and blood, became weak and was about to disappear completely soon.At this time, someone set foot on this small island forgotten by the world.

No, to be precise, it's not a human, it's a vampire, and it's not a half-baked ghoul, but a real dead disciple.

This man rescued Xia Lei before she disappeared, and took her off the island to a shelter for half-baked vampires.

Just as the church adopts orphans and raises them, so do vampires have similar organizations.Some dead apostles will travel around the world to find vampires who wander outside the circle of dead apostles, and bring them back to give them formal teaching.

To some extent, Dead Apostles are more careful than humans when doing these things, because on average, only one in a hundred humans is likely to be born as a ghoul, and the probability of becoming a real Dead Apostle is less than one in ten thousand .The low birth rate coupled with the uninterrupted crusades of the Church of the Holy Church and the Magic Association has led many insightful people among the Dead Apostles to seek the development of the ethnic group, so there is such an organization.

In the shelter, Xia Lei knew that she was no longer a human being but a monster called a ghoul. At the same time, she also knew that this state was temporary. If she could successfully pass through this stage and become a real Dead Apostle, she could Control her blood-sucking urges and regain her sanity—at that time, except for the need to change her schedule and eating habits, she will still be her.

This sparked hope in Xia Lei, who wanted to die. She didn't want to die, and she wanted to see the boy whom she regarded as her younger brother again.Before leaving the island, she went to see the house deep in the jungle. It was the only place that had not been burned, and there were no bodies of the two people she was familiar with. She believed that they were still alive—they had magical powers. Magician, they must be able to escape.

So Xia Lei settled down in the world of vampires, learning knowledge while trying to control her new body.

Finally, nearly 30 years later, she successfully completed all transformations, from a ghoul to a dead apostle, and was able to leave the world of the dead apostle to go out and act, and it was Natalia who was the guide of her novice dead apostle .

Compared with Xia Lei who stumbled and stumbled all the way, Natalia's experience was much simpler.

Bozak was not the only dead person on that plane, there was another big man with a much higher status than Bozak.For that big man, Bozak is just an insignificant ant, so he just watched with cold eyes. Even if Bozak died, he still didn't make a move. The cabin turned into hell.

Until then, Kiritsugu, who was still very Navie, hit, coughed, bombarded the plane with missiles, and had no choice but to protect himself from falling into the sea.Although she didn't intend to save people, this behavior still gave Natalia a glimmer of life. Her terrifyingly high desire and ability to survive once again played a role, and she survived successfully.

But there was only one breath left.The ones who saved Natalie at this time were those "dead bees" who she regarded as her biggest enemy and wanted to kill countless times. The survival ability of vampires is far higher than that of humans. The sting of the bee, in order to continue its own existence.

This move moved the big man who watched coldly, and he took away Natalia, who had gradually lost her body temperature due to vampireization.

The next development is similar to that of Xia Lei. She accepts training, learns the knowledge of the Dead Apostle world, passes through the two stages of "ghoul" and "living corpse" as soon as possible, and truly becomes a Dead Apostle.

Mystery and mystery will attract each other, and magicians are much more adaptable than ordinary people in transforming into vampires, not to mention that Natalia also has the blood of fantasy succubi, and her affinity is higher than that of ordinary magicians. The teacher is higher.Therefore, it is clear that Natalia became a vampire much later than Xia Lei, but became a dead apostle much earlier.Moreover, her experience as a bounty hunter also allowed her to be able to take charge of herself very quickly, so she didn't need to start teaching from scratch like Xia Lei.

And because she is also a new Death Apostle, it is easier for Natalia to mingle with other rookies.

Thus, the two most important women in the first half of Emiya Kiritsugu's life met.

PS: The executioners of the church that are currently on the stage, Xier, Mapo, and the Hansa in FSF have not done such extreme things as massacres, and the church that guards human beings to drive out non-artificial creeds will not kill them One ghoul directly destroys the whole island—unless the whole island cannot be saved.

PS2: That's right, it takes such a long time for a normal person to transform into a Dead Apostle—not everyone is a monster like Gongzuka Wuyue, who jumped from an ordinary person to a 27th-level monster overnight, and not everyone Everyone is lucky to be directly sucked blood by the ancestor-level dead disciples.

PS3: Although "Yue Ji" is rampant with vampires, it looks like it's not good enough, but if you look carefully at the list of 27 ancestors, half of them are either dead or sealed. In the final analysis, humans are stronger.
