Lost Narrative Poetry

Facts have proved that this matter is easier than Xia Ran imagined.

Through the whisper of dragon roar aura, he scanned the entire Matou mansion several times. After mastering the environment and confirming all the vitality in it, he first eliminated the vitality of normal people, and most of the remaining ones were mice and cockroaches.

The old bug's body has been destroyed, and its true body is just a bug. If you only look at the vitality, it is indeed an existence of this level, which is lower than a cockroach and stronger than a mouse.

To accurately identify a specific target from such a large area and from the smell of so many pests is an almost unimaginable and desperate task for ordinary people, let alone finding a needle in a haystack. That's almost it.

However, for Xia Ran, who had just killed Matou Zangyan's body, he only needed to use a very simple insight technique to accurately capture the aura of the old insect——

This illusion is not very advanced. In the game, it is the function of pathfinding. No matter where you want to go, as long as you locate it on the map, and then use such an illusion, you can directly display a line on the ground, with Players travel to their destination.

Even across mountains and seas, across the entire nine territories of the sky...

Of course, this is impossible in reality. You still don’t know what you don’t know, and you need to find it yourself.

It is truly a spell that can gain insight into the hidden information around you, or it can be tracked based on the locked breath... The former can only detect and see through some hidden effects that are not too advanced, while the latter is like a hunting dog tracking the target, first of all Lock the breath.

But it was enough. The old Chongzi did not have at least C-level breath blocking skills, and his tail had indeed been caught by Xia Ran before... With Sakura's identification, he found the old Chongzi's independent residence.

Therefore, this matter was simpler than he imagined, not only because he was completely unprepared, but also because he was still trapped in the Matou mansion and could not escape.

What's more, the old insect didn't expect that this ruthless man who suddenly came to his door seemed to know his trump card.

If you don't know the root cause, then after killing its body, shouldn't you think it's over? Why are you still looking for it now, as if you knew from the beginning that it still had a trump card and was not dead?

——Matō Zōyan would not understand even if he thought about it, how sensitive the lost people are to kill prompts. After all, there is no income without real kills, whether it is points or crystals.

"Who are you, and why are you an enemy of my Matou family? If it is for the Holy Grail, I can..."

Probably knowing that the end was coming, Matou Zouken's anxious and angry voice, mixed with fear, sounded in the house. He wanted to buy his life back from the ruthless man standing in front of the house through careful discussion.

boom!

Xia Ran didn't want to hear another word from the old insect. The terrifying fireball shot straight up, and then exploded violently. The raging flames were wrapped in purgatory-like high temperature and red, and they were like furious waves, layer upon layer. Impact away.

However, it was blocked by the invisible force field barrier and was unable to break through the restriction and break out of the enclosed space, causing the fire to spread uncontrollably to other buildings in the Matou residence. Only the body of Matou Zangyan was hiding. The house immediately turned into a sea of ​​flames...

At the same time, a series of strange effects exploded, with flashes of light and discordant explosions. This was probably the result of the defensive spell being destroyed by simple violence. However, it could not be hurt and already pulled the little girl away immediately. Xia Ran distanced herself, only causing more damage to the old insect's fragile body.

"Asshole! How dare you...I..."

The wailing sound came from the sea of ​​​​fire, and then quickly became faint.

"Kill Matou Zouken, get points x 20,000, B-level causal crystal x 2, greatly increase the degree of interference in the world."

A pleasant space prompt sounded. Xia Ran, who was watching the burning house in the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly. The old guy didn't have many points, but the cause and effect involved was not small. Just killing it would give him something. Two Class B crystals?

Maybe it’s because it’s at least ten years in advance and killing this guy now will have a huge impact on the main plot? Don't say anything else, just say that the fate of the little girl next to me has changed greatly...

He looked at Matou Sakura who was standing next to him, and found that the little girl was staring blankly at the sea of ​​​​fire in front of her, seemingly completely unresponsive.

Perhaps all this was just like a dream to this little girl. She simply couldn't believe that the grandfather she was most afraid of... was so ruthlessly terminated tonight? It seems like child's play...

The source of her nightmares was just wiped out like this?

This was really so unreal, it made her feel like she was in a dream. She could only stare straight at the burning house in front of her, almost unable to think at all...

Xia Ran looked away, sighed, and gently stretched out his hand to rub Matou Sakura's little head again. He specifically asked this little girl to lead the way. In fact, it was not to lead the way, but to let her witness the scene of the old insect being buried in the sea of ​​fire. .

He has always firmly believed that retribution is the right thing to do, and a knife that can cut off is a knife. Only by allowing the victims to see with their own eyes the tragic fate of the perpetrators and confirm that the latter has paid the price and can no longer harm them can the victims possibly get out of this indelible shadow.

As for those people who always advise others to let go of their obsessions and hatred, he really can't understand it——

Always use your own tolerance and generosity to be generous to others. I have never experienced that kind of pain, nor did I save the victim when he needed help the most. Instead, he jumped in when the victim wanted revenge and asked people to be generous and let go...

Perhaps at that time, these white lotus flowers felt that they were full of the glory of humanity, and everything they did was a great redemption for themselves and others...

But Xia Ran didn't take this trick. Forgiveness is the initiative of the victim, and no one can take the initiative to ask the victim to forgive.

Just like this little girl, she has worked very hard to paralyze her spirit through despair and optimism, because only in this way can she protect herself. In order to resist the unbearable pain, the powerless girl had no choice but to erase herself who could feel the pain.

The heartache she has suffered will definitely stay with her for the rest of her life. If she has the power of revenge, no matter how cruel she is to torture her hated enemies, there will be no problem at all...

Da da da……

At this moment, rapid footsteps came from the long corridor behind him, approaching from far away.

Xia Ran turned around and took a look, and with her sharp eyesight, she saw the face of the strange man clearly. It was not Matou Kariya, but it should be his brother... What was his name? It seems to be Matou Tsuruno?

A poor guy who also dares not resist the old bug and can only rely on money and wine to anesthetize himself all day long...

"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Ran... As for my identity, as you can see, I am a magician. Did you see the fire behind? The old bug has died in my hands, so from today Starting tonight, I will take over the fish pond of your Matong family."

He waited patiently for the man to come over, then introduced himself politely, and at the same time prepared spells for mental suggestion and control. After all, he had always convinced people with virtue.

The man was stunned for a moment, looking past Xia Ran and looking at the area where the fire was still burning and was about to burn everything. His eyes were still full of disbelief.

…

…

The Matou family changed hands.

This thing happened exactly, but it didn't cause any big waves. Everything went so smoothly, without anyone noticing.

Because the first-generation head of the family, the head of each generation, and the current head of the family, Matong Zangyan was directly killed by Xia Ran, and was buried in the sea of ​​​​fire with no bones left. This was the greatest deterrent. In addition, after a year of torture and transformation, Matou Kariya, who already possesses the basic qualities of a magician and summoned Berserker, clearly expressed his support.

So there was no room for others to object, and besides, they didn't want to object. The impression left by the Matou Zangyan on the entire Matou family was really bad. After confirming this matter, everyone was not happy. It's already very restrained.

Who wants to come forward and seek justice for the old man? Bah, they're just worried that the old guy's death isn't complete enough, okay? !

A foreign magician takes over the Matou family? That was really the best thing. They had never encountered such a happy thing in their lives... Perhaps the only one who was dissatisfied was Matou Shinji.

Although he is young, Matou Shinji has long heard that Matou belongs to a family of magicians and is a special being. He is also honored to be a child of this "special family", and as the only son, he also feels that he will Become the heir to this family.

However, what happened tonight was simply unacceptable to him - his grandfather, the head of the family, was directly killed, and his father, uncle and others did not object at all, allowing the murderous magician to take over Matou Ichi. pulse?

This stupid child felt that the world was about to collapse. After all, he had no idea how terrible the Matou family had been.

But he couldn't make any fuss. Although Matou Tsuruno had been narcotizing himself with money and wine all day long, it didn't mean that he really didn't want to change at all. Therefore, after Matou Zōyan died, this man immediately changed. Become determined.

Under his suppression, Matou Shinji couldn't make a fuss at all.

Xia Ran didn't want to worry about so many troubles. He was racing against time at the moment, comparing the magic array in the underground insect warehouse and redrawing it on the other side. He had retained the magic array before, just for this reason. .

"What are you doing?"

Matou Kariya beside him was a little puzzled. Although he had vaguely thought about it, he still couldn't be sure.

"Get ready to summon the Servant..." Xia Ran said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, what else can you do? Go and do your work. It's already midnight, so there's no need to stay here..."

"There's nothing I can do to help. It's better for Sakura to be alone at this time..." Matou Kariya shook his head, although he wanted to fall asleep immediately, and there was no part of his body that was not hurting. Yes, but if he didn't look at the magician, he still felt unsure.

"Besides, at this time... is it still too late?" Looking at Xia Ran who was busy, the white-haired man hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"How can you know if you don't give it a try?" Xia Ran didn't give a confident answer. He just wanted to take a gamble and see. "Except for Yu Sanjia, there is no definite news that the other seats have been confirmed. Come down."

It seemed that this was also the case. Matou Kariya believed it and nodded in relief.

Maybe this magician just wants to take a gamble, pick up the miss when he wins, and lose nothing if he loses?

But in fact, Xia Ran was more confident than he thought, because he realized that he really still had a chance to cut off——

According to the requirements of the Fuyuki Holy Grail Ceremony, seven Servants are required. It does not mean that a qualified person who summons a Servant will obtain the corresponding qualifications to be a Judge Master.

Instead, the Holy Grail selects seven qualified people and lets them summon Servants as Masters.

Which heroic spirit can be summoned is ultimately determined by the Holy Grail. The Yusan family worked so hard to hold the ceremony, just hoping to summon the trump card they wanted more accurately.

Therefore, no matter how clumsy the summoning circle is used, or how unclear the spell is recited, as long as one has the qualifications recognized by the Holy Grail, miracles can be achieved...

Therefore, trash like Ryunosuke Ubui can be brought in to make up the numbers. The murderer is purely out of curiosity and casually uses the blood after killing to draw the pattern of the magic circle in the living room...

Then, it was such a childish success! It is simply an exception among exceptions. It can only be said to be the ritual requirement of the Holy Grail. After everyone else is ready, there is really no other candidate, so we simply take advantage of the time when Ryunosuke Uyu is hunting for strange people and holding rituals. , appointing him as the last Master.

When Xia Ran realized this key, he suddenly found that he could cut off Hu. As long as the Holy Grail was not useless, it would definitely be enough to determine that he was more qualified than Ryunosuke Ubu.

"Ha, it's done... If Caster is summoned illegally later, we will have three Servants at the start."

A sudden sharp pain came from the back of his right hand, which made Xia Ran confirm that his idea was successful, and he made a precise time difference.

He raised the back of his hand and squinted his eyes slightly. He saw that the pain on his right hand had not completely subsided. He didn't know when a pattern like a tattoo had been engraved on the back of his right hand, so he couldn't help laughing.

Matou Kariya beside him frowned slightly, a little confused, why was this magician so sure that he would summon Caster before he started summoning?
