The whole world has my vest

At the beginning of the Holy Grail War, Joshua didn't go anywhere. He watched the actions of each group of masters and servants inside the moving castle, and occasionally needed to go online to patch himself.

If the Yokohama Holy Grail War is a play, Joshua is not only a director, screenwriter, and actor, he is also the narrator.

When the battle between heroic spirits took place on Leibo Street last night, Joshua was telling a story to several children.

The eldest child Atsushi Nakajima and the third child Akutagawa Gin both showed anticipation and curiosity, and even the second child Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was not curious about the story, sat in the corner with a bad face.

"Today, we will tell a story, the name of the story is 'Beautiful Monster'."

Joshua sat in the rocking chair, the three children, and other non-human beings were either slumped on the beanbags or lying on the ground in the soft blankets.

"Once upon a time, there was a very clever monster gray wolf who could speak human words. He turned into a beautiful girl and used his magical power and clever wisdom to help those poor people."

Victoria in the pyramid sits under Ramses II, waiting for the safe return of Kujo Kazuya who rode the Star Sphinx.

"Living with the monster, and helping the monster to run errands is a rabbit named Lix. With the help of the beautiful monster and the rabbit, the people in that land lived a happy life.

Until one day, the nobles knew the power of the monster, and they regarded the monster's ability as a symbol of power. All the nobles wanted to get the monster, but whenever the nobles wanted to get close to the monster, the rabbit who was always by the monster's side would become Very vicious to drive away the nobles.So, the nobleman came up with a way - to kill the hateful rabbit, he could get the beautiful monster. "

Kazuya Kujo, who printed Heroic Spirits using Sphinxmon, started a battle with Saber Master and Servant in Saihachi Street.

"So one day, the rabbit was chased away by hounds, and the nobles shot through its body with bows and arrows. The rabbit died, and no one could protect the monster. The nobles rushed excitedly to the warehouse where the monster was, but they opened the door. The sight that appeared made everyone unbelievable—the monster everyone wanted was dead."

Joshua glanced at the three children who were listening intently. Even Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who thought the story was childish with a stinky face at first, unconsciously became serious.

"It turns out that the rabbit is the heart of the monster. They are different bodies with the same heart. The monster's 'heart' is dead, and the monster will die with it."

After Joshua finished telling the story, Victoria, who was waiting for Kazuya Kujo to return to the pyramid, realized that a certain spell was spying on their position with shikigami.

"These nobles are really bad."

Atsushi Nakajima frowned and said in a low voice.

"The rabbit and the gray wolf are so pitiful."

Akutagawa Gin also nodded, his eyebrows frowned.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke coughed a few times in a low voice, and said: "If I were that rabbit, I would try my best to become stronger, kill all those hounds who want to chase me, and let those who dare to attack the beautiful monster The aristocrats have tasted what it is to be afraid, so that they will never dare to think of it again."

"But in this way, ordinary humans will be afraid of beautiful monsters and rabbits, right?"

Atsushi Nakajima retorted.

"Is there no possibility for everyone to live together peacefully?"

Joshua was smiling all the time and didn't interrupt or interrupt their discussion and thinking.

Akutagawa Gin looked at his foster father who adopted her. Of course she knew that Joshua ran a pet shop. Sometimes the pets were obviously sold, but what the customers took away were not animals, but human beings. At first glance, they look like human traffickers and brokers, but Gin Akutagawa has been with these pets before, and knows that although they look like humans, they are indeed animals in essence.

And in "Beautiful Monster", there is a beautiful gray wolf monster and a rabbit that helps the monster run errands. It is really hard not to let people think that maybe Joshua's pet shop has these two pets.

"Then, Mr. Joshua, have you ever seen beautiful monsters and rabbits? Probably not, we have them in our shop, right?"

Akutagawa Yin thought about it, but in the end he couldn't suppress his curiosity and expectation, and asked in a low voice.

Joshua laughed. He leaned over and stroked Akutagawa Gin's soft black hair, and was satisfied to see that the child's withered and yellow appearance was brought up to be juicy by himself.

This child will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up. Like the original work, she joins the assassination force of the port mafia. Covering her face under the mask is really a waste of money, and her voice is also very nice, as clear and moving as a silver bell. Maybe you can try it. Train her to be a singer or an actor.

While Joshua was thinking about it, he still answered Akutagawa Silver's question in an orderly manner: "I saw it a long time ago, but there is probably only one purebred gray wolf in this world. Such a rare pet , even if I want to own it, the proud gray wolf probably won't be willing to come and live with me."

"Is there a follow-up to this story?"

After arguing with Atsushi Nakajima, Ryunosuke Akutagawa suddenly asked his adoptive father.

"Were the nobles not punished?"

"What's next..."

Joshua glanced out the window, this direction was just facing the direction of Leibo Street.

At this moment, although the first battle of the Holy Grail War has ended, the end of the Supernatural Secret Service and the government has just begun.

"Of course there is, but it's very late today, so I'll tell you when I have a chance."

Joshua, who was smiling and urging her cubs to sleep, did not tell them that the last gray wolf in the world was taking her rabbit to participate in the Holy Grail War.

"Beautiful Monster" certainly has a follow-up.

Gray wolves are not a person, but a race.

Their people died of heartbreak because their 'heart' was killed by the nobles. This wise, powerful and proud race launched its own revenge on the nobles.

And Gray Wolf became the name that was feared and rejected in that world, and after taking revenge on the arrogant nobles, Gray Wolf fell silent and lived an isolated life in the mountains.

Only in a war that could change the whole world, the power of gray wolves was once again remembered by people, and several young and ambitious gray wolves were invited to enter the country's top ranks.

However, when the war is won, what awaits them is that the birds are exhausted and the rabbits are dead.

These gray wolves who originally left their homes for their ideals escaped from their original world to another world for freedom and pride.

However, what awaited them was that the clansmen grew old and died one by one—because these ancient races left the land that provided them with strength.

Therefore, in order to survive and return to their hometown, the gray wolves gathered the strength and wisdom of the whole family to create the Holy Grail, trying to use the magical power of the Holy Grail to cross the barriers between the two worlds and return to their hometown.

And Victoria, who summoned the Pharaoh, is the young leader chosen by the Gray Wolf Clan to carry their hopes—or, in other words, the last heir.

As long as you return to your hometown, you can reunite with other clansmen in your hometown.

Kazuya Kujo helped Victoria for no other reason than to prevent her from dying alone in this foreign country like his own people—so even if he risked his life, he would help Victoria Asia won the Holy Grail War.

Victoria the Gray Wolf is not the only beautiful monster.

——At this moment, Oda Sakunosuke is dreaming.

In the dream, he became a manufactured monster.

He's been chosen as Master out of nowhere, even he doesn't understand why, but he can't order Frankenstein to kill himself and withdraw from this dangerous Holy Grail War.

Not only because of Frankenstein's intimacy and trust in him, but also because Oda Sakunosuke was unwilling to withdraw in this way.

Besides, he looked at Frankenstein and somehow thought of his five adopted children.

Although she is a heroic spirit with great power and a beautiful appearance, she looks like a child who is ignorant of the world.

This made Oda Sakunosuke really unable to leave Frankenstein alone.

Perhaps it was this kind of mood that made Oda Sakunosuke dream of the memory of Frankenstein.

She is an artificial life form made up of dead bodies created by Victor Frankenstein. She was obviously born as Eve, but she became a failure because she couldn't control and connect various emotions smoothly— — A synthetic monster.

But even so, she longed to live like a normal human being.

In order to make the scientist who created himself happy, he killed the wild dog without hesitation and gave away the internal organs as a gift. However, he got a look of fear and disgust from the maker: "You monster! Stay away from me!"

【I am not a failure】

【I am not a monster】

【Please give me your love】

Seeking love from its maker, from its own gods, what monsters get is disgust, repulsion and attack.

The lost monster can only do the next best thing, so plead with the creator.

【Give me someone who can watch me】

【Please give me someone who is willing to love me】

For this reason, monsters can chase their creators all the way to the cold and white ends of the earth.

However, until the producer was exhausted and had no choice but to commit suicide because of her pursuit, until the monster lost its vitality and fell to the ground because of lack of energy, the "Adam" that the monster longed for to watch and love itself still never appeared .

When Oda Sakunosuke woke up from the dream, tears were streaming from his opened eyes.

Are these tears shed by the Frankenstein in the dream who doesn't understand feelings, or did he shed the tears for her in the dream?

Oda Sakunosuke himself did not understand.

Noticing his movement, Frankstein, who woke up from the bed beside him in an instant, approached Oda Sakunosuke. She saw the tears shed by Oda Sakunosuke, and she stretched out her hand as if trying to wipe it off for him, but she didn't know how to control the hand at all. It almost made Oda Sakunosuke's cheeks red.

He looked at Frankenstein in front of him and sighed softly.

"I won't leave you behind. Your desire to be able to possess the emotions of ordinary people, I will make it come true for you."

The red-haired young man promised so seriously.

Frankenstein looked at the human master who had promised him, and didn't know if he understood. She just spit out a few meaningless words, and then took out the flowers that were originally placed in the vase by the bed, and directly hit the weaving Tasakunosuke's face.

"Hahaha, thank you, but if possible, it might be better if you hand it over a little lighter?"

Oda Sakunosuke laughed, and his mood, which had not been cleared up since he was involved in the Holy Grail War, became a little more relaxed.

Relevant personnel of the Ability Secret Service Section were busy all night. Just suppressing the news of Leibo Street, sealing off the area, and shutting up the fleeing residents of Leibo Street, many staff were in a hurry. I didn't close my eyes all night.

However, after the state machinery is in operation, the power displayed is also amazing.

The residents of Leibo Street crowded the police station, and it is said that there are still a few wanted criminals who are at large, but that is the work of the criminal police and the Metropolitan Police Department.

After checking their identities, some professionals will suggest that they subtly induce the Holy Grail War tonight in other ways, so as to cover up the truth of the Holy Grail War.

This is also for the good of Yokohama and Japan. If someone knows the existence of the Holy Grail War and wants to reproduce it, the Supernatural Secret Service Division cannot bear the responsibility.

Taneda Shantouhuo, as one of the high-level executives of the Supernatural Secret Service Division who currently has real power, also came to the scene to direct.

In such a situation, he even asked Ango Sakaguchi, who was undercover in the port mafia, to put down the task at hand and return first. In comparison, the Holy Grail War was more harmful and needed his support.

"Tonight is just a trial battle for those heroic spirits. I am afraid that the next battle will be more intense and involve a wider range."

Tantian Shantouhuo said in a low voice.

"Do you want to issue an evacuation signal?"

An agent from the Supernatural Secret Service Division asked.

"What's the reason? Even when the Mafia was fighting for territory before, Yokohama didn't issue an evacuation signal. This would only make the people panic, and a bigger disaster would happen."

Gengtian Shantouhuo sighed and lit the cigarette in his mouth, frowning enough to kill mosquitoes.

He was never afraid to speculate on the worst of human nature.

"Before we reach that point, we can only take one step at a time."

Just when most people are gradually falling asleep in the middle of the night, they don't know what kind of morning they will usher in when the dawn of the next day comes.

……

…………

Fukuzawa Yukichi woke up earlier than usual today. He woke up in shock from his sleep, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and the trembling in his dream of being targeted by something terrible as a prey seemed to be still lingering in his eyes. chest.

When he got up and was about to go to the bathroom to wash off the thin sweat on his body, but when he looked at the scenery outside the window, his eyes widened in astonishment: "What is that?"

Above the city of Yokohama, the gray barrier is like an upside-down bowl, covering the seaside city as a whole.

It is not known when the barrier appeared, but people who drove to the edge of the barrier tried to pass through it to leave the city, but returned to the same place after passing through.

—They were trapped in this city.

There are also those who want to enter Yokohama, or those who are worried about their relatives and friends in Yokohama, but this time they came in smoothly, but if they want to go out, they have nothing to do like other people trapped here .

When he heard the news, Gengtian Shanhuotou sighed, pinching his nose and regretting why he didn't release the evacuation information last night. At least before this strange barrier appeared, more people could escape .

The Abe Seimei, who is the follower of Ayatsuji Pedestrian, is the only one that the Supernatural Secret Service can rely on—even if they dare to believe the other Heroic Spirits and Masters, they have to find them first.

As the current highest-ranking officer Taneda Shanhuotou, and Ango Sakaguchi, who was immediately given a heavy responsibility after returning to the Supernatural Secret Service as an undercover agent, knocked on the five-star hotel where Ayatsuji pedestrians and Abe Seimei collapsed.

The Supernatural Secret Service is generous in this regard. After all, the Ministry of Miyauchi and the Supernatural Secret Service also have fans of Abe Seimei, and they are naturally reluctant to let their idols be wronged.

The door opened in response, and Tsujimura Fukatsuki, who had indigo under his eyes, opened the door for Taneda Santou and Sakaguchi Ango.

Abe Seimei and Ayatsuji Xingren were sitting on the sofa, and the coffee table was also covered with various maps of Yokohama, with notes and circles of various colors painted on them.

They probably have already discovered that something is wrong with Yokohama, and they have already begun to discuss a solution.

Ayatsuji pedestrians just looked up at them, then looked down at the map again, and said, "Sit down."

"No, can you tell us what is hanging over Yokohama?"

Taneda Yamatoka declined the kindness of Ayatsuji pedestrians. Although he was asking Ayatsuji pedestrians, his eyes were on Abe Seimei.

According to legend, the number one great Onmyoji in Ping'an capital shook his bat fan and said calmly, "This is the handwriting of Dao Mangong."

"The five elements are reversed, the door of life is sealed, and you can only enter and cannot enter... Dao Mangong turned this city into an altar, and all the living creatures inside are sacrifices on the altar."

"Not only that, the one summoned by sacrificing the life of the entire city is definitely a more superior and tricky existence."

The truth learned from Abe Seimei is worse than what they speculated.

"Is there... is there no way to stop it?"

Ango Sakaguchi couldn't help raising his voice and questioning.

"Since Ashiya Michimitsu regards Your Excellency Seimei as an old enemy, it means that Your Excellency Seimei must have a way to control the enemy, right?"

Abe Seimei sighed, he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, then looked at Ayatsuji pedestrians.

Ayatsuji pedestrian nodded, and said: "If we want to implement the plan, their help is indispensable."

"Of course there are ways to control the enemy, and it can even be said that there are many."

Abe Seimei gave a wry smile.

"It's just that every feasibility is not high."

"Before the formation is completely completed, kill Daomangong who made the altar. After the summoner dies, the altar will naturally lose its function. However, Daomangong naturally also knows the simplest cracking method. With his ability, in the Hiding traces in this steel and concrete city is an easy thing to do."

"However, time is running out. Once the formation is completely completed, even killing Dao Mangong will not help."

"Another method is for me to find out the eyes and the center of the formation, and read a spell to modify the sacrificial formation. This method does not need to find Dao Mangong, but the formation must be complete."

"Why is the feasibility of the second method not high?"

Ango Sakaguchi asked aloud.

"Because the second method also requires sacrifices."

It was Ayatsuji pedestrian who answered Ango Sakaguchi.

The homicide detective who immediately realized Ashiya Domitsu's plan, because he stayed up all night, had a faint blue-black color under his eyes: "The formation arranged by Ashiya Domitsu is not complete, he just trapped everyone in this place viciously." In the altar, while admiring the turmoil caused by human fear, while watching them destined to die."

"Trapping everyone and adding trouble to us is just his first arrangement."

"His opponent is Lord Qingming, who is also proficient in yin and yang techniques, so he can naturally think of a way to break it. So he left the unfinished magic circle and hid it, just to make Lord Qingming choose the second solution."

Abe Seimei took the words of Ayatsuji pedestrians and continued: "The sacrifice that is equal to the human life of the entire city is the heroic spirit with powerful magic power and soul summoned through the Holy Grail War."

"The worst thing is that this sacrificial formation has five eyes and one formation heart, and the sacrifices sacrificed to the formation will cost six heroic spirits. However, there are only seven heroic spirits in a Holy Grail War. These What will the Heroic Spirits who answered the call and wanted to obtain the Holy Grail to fulfill their wishes think? Are they really willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the human beings in this world?"

The elegant silver-haired onmyoji sighed.

Ayatsuji pedestrians sneered, expressing their sarcasm and disgust towards Ashiya Domitsu, who did not know where he was hiding: "They will think, they are all summoned spirits, why should I sacrifice for irrelevant human beings?" If I—and they die as the sacrifices of the eyes and hearts of the formation, then the caster Seimei is the final winner of the Holy Grail War?"

"Even if they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of human beings in this world, will they doubt that this is just a joint effort between Lord Seimei, Domitsu Ashiya, and the humans in this city when Seimei is clearly the final victor? With such doubts, will they really be sacrificed voluntarily?"

"Playing with human nature to the extreme, either watching the whole city die, or capturing the heroic spirits to sacrifice, Ashiya Michimi and Kyogoku Natsuhiko are really the same."

Ayatsuji pedestrian said in disgust.

"What does this have to do with Kyogoku Natsuhiko?"

Ango Sakaguchi pushed his glasses and pointed it out sharply.

"In the initial stage of the construction of this kind of insidious formation, the same number of sacrifices and props as the formation center and formation eyes are needed as the key to open it." Abe Seimei said lightly.

"So, as a heroic spirit who died thousands of years ago, where did Yadaoman get those demanding sacrifices and props?"

Taneda Santou and Sakaguchi Ango immediately realized the implication of this sentence. It is natural that natives who have powerful forces in this society and are familiar with human rules can do this.

Although Kyogoku Xiayan has died, the demon servants he arranged all over the country are still serving him loyally. It is indeed true for him to collect the props for constructing the formation in just a few hours. It's within reach.

The author has something to say: Ashiya Michimitsu: Seimei, are you satisfied with what I have done layer by layer?

Kyogoku Natsuhiko: Ayatsuji-kun, I really look forward to how you will break the situation. If you are willing to bow your head and beg me, it is not impossible to tell you some clues?

Abe Seimei & Ayatsuji pedestrian: ... to die.
