Hundred Nights in the Light [Main Fate]

interesting.

Emiya Kiritsugu's life can be said to be a life of constantly abandoning his loved ones.

His father is a magician through and through. During a research process, the human beings in the entire village were transformed into sad apostles (more like vampires in my opinion). Emiya Kiritsugu was less than ten years old at the time. Conducting research, in order to save more people who are about to lose their lives...

The first time he shot, it was to shoot his beloved father.

He doesn't know who his mother is, but he has an existence as important as his mother.After the woman took him away, she taught him all the skills needed to survive, but in a certain mission, she was trapped alone with countless monsters in the entire aircraft cabin...in order to prevent the plane from causing even greater damage after landing. Sacrifice, Emiya Kiritsugu shot down the entire plane.

As a result, he also killed the "mother" with his own hands.

"Just...what are you kidding..."

The cruel scene after scene in memory was repeated.

Emiya Kiritsugu stood in his own memory, frantically pulling the trigger, shooting at these phantoms.

"Stop... stop, what are you kidding!" His voice was on the verge of collapse.

I waved my hand, repelling the visions into the darkness.

Emiya Kiritsugu threw away the overheated gun barrel in his hand, and sat on the ground blankly, with a pitiful and lamentable pained expression on his face.

The pain had torn his heart in two, but his hand on the gun had grown steady along the way; it was as if the more painful he was as a human being, the sharper he was as a killing machine.

"You guy, is it possible that the emotional system and the rational system are completely separated?" I couldn't help making this kind of guess, "Half of the pain is dying, and the other half is unconsciously continuing to abandon the loved ones..."

Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head, trembling all over, his whole body seemed to have fallen into despair.

I stood by and watched for a while, then looked up: Even at this time, Emiya Kiritsugu's balance still stood shining brightly.

"Is that all you want to save lives? Whether it's painful or cruel, this is what you think of as 'justice'?"

I sighed and swung the scale back.

At the same time, I quickly summoned the world I had copied, allowing Emiya Kiritsugu, the poor fellow, to stand on the ground again.

"Hey, Emiya Kiritsugu, let me give you another choice. Now I have a research that can cure all diseases in the world, but the price is the body organs of normal people. I can divide a healthy person into several Ten parts, save dozens of dying patients..." I suggested to him, "In this way, tens of millions of people in the world can be saved, but the price is that all the people in Dongmu City will die, you—"

"Agree to trade."

Emiya Kiritsugu answered me in a hoarse, non-living tone.

Even now, do you still retain rational judgment?

"All right……"

I thought about it, and decided to help Emiya Kiritsugu realize this wish first. I wonder what he will look like after his wish is fulfilled?After causing millions of deaths, will his emotional breakdown be complete?

interesting.

I kept going back from the ancient memories, and finally picked out what I needed - a huge magic circle in the void, with an ominous blood-colored light.

"This is a refining circle, which can extract the life of everyone in Dongmu City and make it into something called the 'Sage's Stone', which is the concentrated essence of life force..." I asked Emiya Kiritsugu He introduced, "If you agree, then put your hand up and let you do the refining." Emiya Kiritsugu was like a marionette, something drove, pulled, and imprisoned him to walk towards the entire refining formation, and then He slowly pressed his hand up.

A huge blood-colored light covered this place, and soon covered the entire sky, and the entire Dongmu City.

Millions of lives are crying out in unison.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah------"

Perhaps there was also Emiya Kiritsugu's screams.

Emiya Kiritsugu's hands began to tremble violently, he fell down from his kneeling position, and soon stood up again like a walking dead.

He began to walk aimlessly outside.

The whole city is dying.

Except for Emiya Kiritsugu, everything he saw was deathly still, the breath of death seemed to have penetrated everything, and was also strongly attacking his disfigured body.

"What are you looking for?" I asked after him.

Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have lost hearing and other senses, just wandering in the dead silence, occasionally turning his head because of the slightest sound, and continued walking numbly after seeing that the sound was not made by a living person.

"Is it looking for survivors? There is no such thing. Formation is the product of absoluteness. From my experience, there are almost no omissions..."

Even after telling Emiya Kiritsugu this fact, he seemed unable to accept it, and kept groping, searching, and digging for something in the ruins...Even if it was a tiny life, no matter how immature or weak, as long as there was even one Survivor, he was saved.

He probably has such a mood.

"It's really greedy, Kiritsugu. Since you have chosen the path of sacrificing Toki to save all human beings, how can you expect to get back a little price from the devil? Death is death... You won't find survivors. "

Emiya Kiritsugu finally despaired, just knelt quietly on the ruins, looking up at the blue sky, wondering if he recalled any past events in his heart.

I heard a girl's voice coming out from the depths of Emiya Kiritsugu's memory: "Hey, Kelly, what kind of adult do you want to be when you grow up?"

Emiya Kiritsugu replied in a young voice: "I want to be...a partner of justice."

Everything this man thinks, does, and feels in his life is for this goal.That's why he participated in the Holy Grail War, that's why he abandoned his beloved parents and family, and that's why he was ready to lose Alice and his daughter Ilya.

"But it's not justice, at best it's survival." I sighed, "Kiritsugu, what makes you think that justice is 'the majority survived'?"

The golden balance in Emiya Kiritsugu's heart was still standing.

I don't like this stuff.

For me, human subjectivity, creativity, even its fragile mind, are dynamic, life-filled wonders, and it is the ever-changing ideas that drive human civilization forward, not just a scale.

In order to destroy this scale, I sent a fleet... no, it should not be said to be a fleet, it is just a pathfinding machine from a higher civilization.

It's called a droplet.

In order to fight against advanced civilizations and at the same time demonstrate their own war power, human beings have sent all the fleets on the earth to line up in space, waiting for the arrival of pathfinders from advanced civilizations.

However, "Water Droplet" is a product that has exceeded the limit of technology that humans can understand at this time. It has surpassed the wisdom of the entire human being in terms of superficial complexity... In front of Water Droplet, all fleets are like chickens and dogs. As vulnerable as a single blow, it vanished into the dust of the universe in an instant.

"This is just a path-finding machine. If that civilization really sends attackers to attack humans, the whole earth will be unreasonable. However, there is another option," I said to Emiya Kiritsugu, "Now you can Intimidate the supreme leader of the Earth Federation and make the entire human race bow down to that civilization. I can tell you that as long as you surrender, your life can be saved."

Undoubtedly, Emiya Kiritsugu chose to surrender.

That day I took him to stand in the lighthouse, watching the ground gradually covered with a pure white carpet, the national flags of various countries lowered during the last national anthem, replaced by the strange symbol of the Trisolaran.

In 2030 AD, human beings officially began to be colonized by Trisolarans.

"Do you still think you're right?"

Emiya Kiritsugu did not answer.

I pull my hands in the void, stretching the invisible axis of time forward.

Beginning in 2035, all human military organizations have been disbanded, all weapons have been destroyed, and governments of various countries have successively issued non-resistance policies.

In 2041, all the successive resistance forces of human beings were wiped out, and the Trisolarans officially began the era of absolute rule.

In 2050, human medical technology has been greatly improved with the support of the Trisolarans. The average life expectancy exceeds 300 years, and the death rate begins to plummet. In order to prevent population overflow, the Trisolarans limit human fertility.

Years passed like this, until 2130, the [-]th anniversary of Trisolaran colonization, human civilization has been changing with each passing day.

"My choice...is not wrong." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "Human beings...have survived."

"I'm not saying you're wrong, but..."

After saying this, I pointed out the window.

Outside the window, people filled with righteous indignation gathered, throwing sundries here and there, smashing the entire window to the ground:

"Emiya Kiritsugu is a disgrace to mankind! Traitor! Spy! Disastrous to the country and the people!"

"Get out! Get out of here! The end of mankind is coming soon, our civilization is at stake, everything is your fault! It's all your fault!"

"You made us slaves! You traitor!"

Hatred began to evolve into conflict, and the conflict developed into violence. Civilians who lost their armed forces fell one after another on the road of demonstrations or uprisings.

In 2200, the Trisolaran civilization announced that it would abandon the title of human beings, and all citizens on the earth became Trisolarans.All the original characters, languages, books, and technologies on the earth will be destroyed by Trisolarans, and they will never appear again.

"I am not wrong."

Standing on the pile of corpses, Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the blood-red sky, and murmured: "Only life... is above everything else."

"Kiritsugu, don't be naive at this time." I smiled helplessly, "What does wrong have to do with right? You are not a partner of 'justice' at all, you are just a guardian of 'life', for the sake of 'life' You have been trampling on 'justice'..."

Emiya Kiritsugu looked down in panic, only to see angry humans rushing towards him standing on this false balance of justice like ants and tides.

He was drowning in this anger, despair, emptiness and humiliation.

"The definition of 'justice' has never been 'saving more lives'. Please don't get this wrong, Emiya Kiritsugu." I looked at him from afar, deep in the blackness, "the so-called 'justice' ', is actually a collection of all human desires for goodness, order, and freedom, and its core principle is that human beings' own beliefs and wishes are supreme, not human life."

The crowd receded without knowing when.

Emiya Kiritsugu knelt and sat on the left side of his scales, raised his gun in despair, and pointed the muzzle at his temple this time.

I stood on the right side and looked down at him:

"In other words, Kiritsugu. 'Justice' is not self-righteously rescuing a desperate person, but recognizing and defending a person...the right to dispose of one's own life."

"--boom".
