Guanfuzi City, Ogawa Apartment, the last room.
At this moment, a human tragedy is taking place here.
This is a family heavily in debt, and the hostess can no longer stand her husband's daily domestic violence after drinking all day long and refusing to go to work. She finally picked up a kitchen knife and stabbed the drunken man to death. .
In the past, before my husband became addicted to gambling, the love between husband and wife, the warm memories of life after having children, and after he became addicted to gambling, he lost everything and could only live in darkness in this small and cheap apartment. A miserable life...
All these things make a woman lose her mind.
"Kacha..."
The door to the room was opened.
"I'm back, the supermarket today..."
The voice suddenly stopped, and Yan Tiaoba looked at his father, whose back was covered with blood and who was lying on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead, with a bewildered expression on his face.
"Mom, what's going on?"
"It turns out that Ba is back. Don't worry. Our family will no longer have to live such a depressing life. Your father has taken the first step, and now it's your turn..."
Holding the blood-stained kitchen knife, the woman walked towards her son.
"No……"
The boy was frightened and wanted to run away, but his mother rushed up and stabbed her in the lower back.
After opening the door, he fell directly to the ground.
"Don't worry, Tomoe, after you die, it will be my turn, mom."
The woman had gone crazy, and her face, which turned purple after being beaten by her husband, showed a look of relief.
She pulled out the kitchen knife stuck in her son's body and wiped it towards her neck without hesitation.
"Pfft~"
The main artery was cut open and blood splattered all over the floor.
[Why, it will be the same as in a dream.
My mother killed my father, and then she came to kill me, and then committed suicide...
Is this a dream?
it hurts!
Isn't this a dream? 】
The boy broke free from his mother's body, which was pressed against him, and crawled outside covered in blood.
A clicking sound came from the stairs next to it, and someone was going upstairs.
"Help……"
A weak voice came from the young man's mouth.
Due to excessive blood loss, his body became cold and weak.
"Anyone can save me, I don't want to die..."
As if hearing his cry for help, the sound of footsteps stopped on his floor.
Then, it suddenly accelerated and headed towards him.
Yan Tiaoba had already seen a female figure. He was somewhat relieved. While he thought he could be saved, he also raised his hand and tried to shout over there: "Save me..."
Asagami Fujino approached and reached out, but before the boy's hand could be grasped, it fell directly. His eyes lost their luster, and the characteristics of life quickly disappeared from his body.
"It seems like a murder occurred here."
Asagami Fujino turned his head and said to Aozaki Orange and Ryo Rishi who were coming from behind.
"Murder? No, this is not a homicide, it's just a... living doll that died."
Aozaki Orange squatted down, inspected the boy's body, and then made a judgment.
"Living doll?"
Asakami Fujino was puzzled.
“It’s made by stuffing living brain tissue into a special magic device and then linking it to an external puppet.
In the past, some people used this technology as a resurrection technique, but most of the living dolls produced had no memory of their own death, and would only repeat the things they did some time before their death.
Live a normal life, and then, at a certain point in time, die in the original dead posture.
No matter how many times you are given an external body, as long as there are no variable factors involved, the process of life and death will continue to cycle and repeat. "
Aozaki Orange explained.
"To put it simply, it is the reproduction of the death scene, allowing the dead to continue to experience the pain of death. Huh, the guy who made this kind of thing is really a bad bastard."
The two men were a little unhappy and had a bad look on their faces.
"The prototype of the soul collects death and interprets the origin of mankind. Through this, we can trace the vortex of the source and achieve the goal of reaching the source. This apartment with a barrier should be a building built for this purpose..."
Aozaki Orange didn't feel very good. They came here after finding out the address of the person who sponsored Wujo Kirie through the hospital.
As for the Ogawa Apartment located at the address, she saw the design shadow of Jialan Cave from the structure here.
Obviously, the guy she knew borrowed her design from the Garan Cave Workshop and built the Ogawa Apartment here many years ago, probably to achieve the goal of reaching the root.
"Let's go, the guy we are looking for is not here, but we have to go a little further."
The three of them left.
Later, the boy's body disappeared, and the blood on the ground disappeared.
The door to the apartment where the murder occurred did not know when it was closed.
Suddenly, the door opened.
"Mom, I'm going to work."
The boy who had just been stabbed to death on the ground walked out of his house as if nothing had happened.
"Be careful on the road."
The woman who should have gone crazy stood at the entrance, with a tired face but gentle eyes, looking at her son who actively wanted to change the family's predicament and dropped out of school at the age of fifteen to work to support the family.
"OK."
Yan Tiaoba nodded and remembered his mother's words.
He tightened the scarf around his neck and ran downstairs.
No matter how hard and tiring life is, as long as people are alive, there is always hope.
An optimistic young man who always thinks he can change his family's situation.
Pay off his father's gambling debt, and later earn enough money to buy back the house that was his family's home.
After he went downstairs, there was a banging sound inside the closed door.
The man's yelling was mixed with the woman's begging for mercy, everything was so normal.
Return to the situation where this family fell apart two weeks ago.
. . . . .
Buildings equipped with the concept of "Contradictory Spiral" will blur the sense of direction of people inside. Sometimes up will be down, and left will be right.
If someone who doesn't know Tai Chi Bagua comes in, they might get lost in this spiral building that looks simple on the outside but is actually complex on the inside, and will never be able to find the door to the room at the core deeper inside.
But Aozaki Orange is an expert, and the Ogawa Apartment here was built based on some of the concepts in her design of Garan Cave.
So, after taking the two girls up, down, left, and right, she found the door to enter the deeper part of the building.
As soon as the door was opened, a room filled with many nutrition tanks appeared in front of the three of them.
"It stinks."
Both Ryo Rishi and Asagami Fujino couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.
The smell that hits you when you open the door is like the smell of canned herring that has been heated with a lot of urea.
"The brains were taken out and stored, but the body was not properly disposed of. Damn it."
Aozaki Orange also couldn't stand the smell.
As long as the jars inside are not empty, they contain incomplete or complete brains.
Apparently, they were the living dolls they met along the way living in Ogawa's apartment.
"Aozaki Orange, Ryo Ritsu, and... Asagami Fujino?"
Feeling that the inner layer of his own barrier had been invaded, Araya Soren's body, which had been linked to the building and was staying here, appeared directly.
When he saw Aozaki Orange and the two rituals, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and when he saw Asakami Fujino further back, his eyes suddenly became a little cautious.
Araya Zongren looked around for a while, and after confirming that there was no guy with the aura that he saw that day that made him feel frightened, he gradually calmed down.
"Do you know Ryōri and Asagami Fujino?"
Aozaki Orange narrowed his eyes.
"The Aoi family is the host of Kanfuko City, and the Asagami family is not without its reputation. It's not surprising that I know the two of them, but you, Aozaki Orange, have said goodbye to each other since the London Clock Tower. Haven’t seen you for years.”
After a pause, Araya Zonglian asked directly: "Now, what's the matter with you coming to me?"
Although he was secretly planning the body of the two rituals, after all, the plan has not been fully implemented until now, and the origin of the two rituals has not been inspired, which made him behave indifferently when facing the group of people in front of him. panic.
"Someone jumped off the building."
Asagami Fujino said.
"What's the meaning?"
Araya Soren thought that there might be traces of gangsters being investigated, but he was a little unable to react to this senseless sentence.
"The person who caused her to jump off the building was a spirit body, Wu Tiao Wuhue. I think you are familiar with this name."
Two Ceremonies said.
"???"
Araya Soren kept a low profile after meeting Wu Ke. After dealing with the group of gangsters who were going to do bad things to Asakami Fujino, he has been hiding in the base camp of Ogawa Apartment, but he doesn't know what he plans to do. To inspire the origin of the two rituals and Wu Tiao Wuhui's current situation there.
"so what?"
"You activated Wu Jiao Kirie's origin and gave her the spiritual ability of a dual existence, but you did not teach her how to control her spiritual body, which caused her spiritual body to go out of control.
Although her spirit body did not mean to harm others, it was just because she was lonely and wanted others to play with her.
But the actual result was that an innocent person almost fell to his death. As members of the justice partners family, after understanding this, we came to you to explain something..."
Asagami Fujino said.
"In addition, there are a large number of living dolls in Ogawa's apartment and a large amount of brain tissue stored here, but you also need to explain the situation clearly, criminal suspect!"
Two Ceremonies added.
"That's the way it is, Araya Soren. You and I can be considered human beings. I personally advise you not to resist and go back with us to accept the investigation."
Aozaki Orange pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.
Araya Zonglian: "..."
He now feels like a hidden drug dealer or murderer. One day, the FBI-type special police came to his door, but on the grounds of tax evasion and tax evasion, they wanted to invite him to drink tea and investigate the situation inside. I also hope he won't do anything drastic.
And what drug dealer or murderer would believe something like this, and then obey and be taken away?
"Oh, why should I go with you?"
"If you don't intend to be arrested and investigated by us, don't blame us for being rude."
Liang Li suddenly realized that he actually liked this job, but he said it in a tone that sounded like a policewoman.
"It seems that my plan to seize your body was exposed, so that the three of you joined forces to deal with me."
When people are sitting at home, their evil plans are exposed. Although this makes Araya Zonglian feel a little uncomfortable, it is not to the extent of panicking when a thief is discovered.
"Take my body?"
The two rituals looked puzzled.
"Wait, you failed to reach the root, so you plan to use the style that has already crossed into the root to allow yourself to reach the root?"
Aozaki Orange asked with wide eyes. The man in front of her was once her classmate in the Clock Tower. They were once considered friends, so Aozaki Orange knew some of the other person's character.
"Don't you already know that?"
Now that the door is blocked, Araya Zongren doesn't believe that the people in front of him know nothing about his conspiracy and plan.
"So, what exactly are you going to do with my body?"
The two rituals asked loudly, but she didn't know what the other party was thinking.
"Of course, I want you to fully realize the origin of your own nothingness. After you completely activate the origin of nothingness and appear as the root, you will then take out your brain and replace it with my brain!"
The man behind the scenes actually revealed himself.
"But now, since you have discovered my plan to stimulate the awakening of the origin in your body through Qiangami, Wu Jiao and others, there is no other way. I can only catch you first, and then slow down. Slowly use other methods to stimulate your origin awakening."
Araya Soren shifted his gaze and looked at Aozaki Orange. He knew how powerful the opponent was.
"Aruba (Aozaki Yuko's classmate, was once the leader of the Magic Association that hunted down Emiya Kiritsugu's father, Emiya Noriken. His strength in the Magic Association is slightly inferior to that of his contemporary Kenneth Elmer) Luo) is looking for you, and he wants to kill you. If you don’t want to expose your traces and be killed by him and me, it’s best not to get involved in this matter.”
Aozaki Orange is very strong, especially in terms of puppets, and her skills are far superior to his master. In order to avoid unnecessary variables, Araya Soren said threateningly.
"Honestly, we just wanted you to cooperate and investigate some things, but we didn't expect you to reveal such things yourself.
At this point, if I don't take action against you, I'm afraid I'll be considered someone who doesn't care about my companions, and I'm afraid I'll get beaten up, so... Mayfly Cannon, come out. "
Crystal ephemera appears.
"In this case, except for the ceremony, anyone else who gets in the way, including you, just go to hell."
"Boundary, don't be afraid!"
The magic cannon fired by Crystal Mayfly was directly blocked by a barrier.
"He is a top barrier master, and this is his base camp. If you keep your spirits up, you will be killed if you are not careful."
The battle is about to break out.
