Chapter 76 The Holy Grail Seen Through
"Why do you say that?"
Irisviel's voice came directly from the black mud in 14952/'>Liu Mengchao's palm, but she was greeted only by Liu Mengchao's disdainful laughter.
"I'm afraid you want to receive this wish the most if you want to see the dead again, right?"
Heini suddenly stopped, didn't speak, and didn't respond.
On the other side, Kenneth, who had blond hair and fell to the ground, stretched out his hand tremblingly and called softly to the person in front of him.
"Sora!"
The red-haired fiancée stood not far from Kenneth, looking at her fiancé with a smile.
Liu Mengchao's voice also sounded at this time, as if coming from another time and space. He said softly, "That person's first sentence was that I am here and I have been waiting for you."
As soon as Liu Mengchao finished speaking, everything was like a script. Sola opened his mouth and said with a smile.
"I've always been here, I've been waiting for you."
"Ah! Have you been waiting for me! Sora! I'm finally here! I won the Holy Grail War, I can grant any wish, and I will resurrect you!"
Kenneth's excited voice slowly sounded, which was so enthusiastic that it almost made people burst into tears. Liu Mengchao's sneer sounded again.
"The next sentence is, 'Am I dead?'"
"Am I dead?"
Word by word, Sora stared at his eyes with an expression of disbelief, looked at his fiancé blankly, and asked softly.
"No, you are not dead. You will never die. As long as I am here, I will take you home right now. I will take you home right now!"
Kenneth said. He struggled to stand up. Ignoring the black mud all over his body, he staggered towards his fiancée step by step. He walked so slowly and so enthusiastically that his eyes almost glowed.
Light.
Liu Mengchao didn't see all this, but he seemed to have witnessed it all. Looking at the silent black mud in his palm, Liu Mengchao walked forward with a chuckle.
The black mud had already covered Liu Mengchao's waist. Such an obstacle should have made it difficult for him to walk, but Liu Mengchao walked so easily and freely.
"How...how could you guess that?"
After a long time, Hei Ni finally couldn't help but speak. All this was no longer Irisviel's voice, but a somewhat immature male voice. Although it was asking, Liu Mengchao could hear the meaning contained in this black mud.
The feeling of resentment.
Hearing the question from the black mud in his palm, Liu Mengchao could no longer hold back and laughed. The laughter was so unrestrained, as if the black mud in his palm was not an omnipotent wishing machine or the legendary evil of all things in the world.
Rather, he is like an ignorant child.
"Isn't this easy? Let me tell you again what you will do next!" Liu Mengchao said, closing his eyes slightly and saying word by word. "You will say, 'I am right here,
Don't you want to be with me?', you will say, 'Isn't it nice here?'. You will say, 'Why do we have to be separated?', you will say, 'Let's stay here forever, I'm afraid of the outside world.
.'You'd say 'Hold me. Never leave me.'"
A series of words came out of Liu Mengchao's mouth, which were so incomprehensible, but Heini immediately fell silent. He did not refute, but remained silent.
Slowly, the black mud slowly rose up in front of Liu Mengchao, turning into a huge screen.
Black light emitted from the screen, and then a black and white picture appeared in the center of the black mud. As the picture appeared, Sora's voice came out angrily.
"I'm right here, don't you want to be with me?"
Sola slowly walked towards Kenneth, held up Kenneth's face that fell in the black mud, and looked at it carefully.
Seeing Sola's red hair hanging in front of him, Kenneth laughed. He smiled, but tears already appeared in his eyes. The tears only took a moment, but they had completely filled Kenneth's eyes.
It made his voice tremble directly.
"I want to be with you. But Sora..."
"Isn't it nice here?" Sola frowned before Kenneth could finish speaking, his eyes full of tenderness and worry.
His fiancée, who had never been kind to him, suddenly spoke to him in such a gentle tone. Kenneth felt that he had almost melted into heaven, and tears streamed down his face.
"Okay, it's nice here! But..."
"Then why do we have to separate?" Sola said, directly pressing his forehead to Kenneth's forehead, and a pair of eyes that seemed both angry and joyful, shot directly into Kenneth's heart.
"I..." Just as Kenneth was about to say that the outside world is very good, he remembered that Sora was in the outside world and died at the hands of Emiya Kiritsugu, which made him forget his own for a moment.
reason.
Suddenly, Sola seemed to remember something, his eyes were full of fear, and he timidly said to Kenneth.
"Let's stay here forever, I'm afraid of the outside world."
As soon as Sola finished speaking, Kenneth's heart stirred. Instead of waking up, he felt confused. He opened his mouth in a murmur and subconsciously said, "Okay, okay, we will be together forever.
"
Hearing Kenneth's words, Sola smiled slightly, opened his arms and hugged Kenneth tightly.
"Hold me and never leave me."
Kenneth nodded slowly, hugged Sola tightly, and remained motionless. He saw the black mud melting from Sola's body little by little, and attached to Kenneth's body little by little. The black mud
It seemed to have come to life, spreading bit by bit, gradually covering Kenneth's entire body, until his entire body was completely integrated into the black mud.
"In the end, he died." Liu Mengchao said disdainfully to the black mud in his palm, with a sarcastic smile in his tone, "In the beginning, Kenneth's wish was to resurrect his wife, but through the virtual character
By having a conversation with him, you have unknowingly transformed his original desire to resurrect his wife into a desire to be with his wife forever."
"Isn't it true that only you yourself know your wishes?"
Hearing Heini's retort, Liu Mengchao laughed.
"Of course it's not clear. Desires are just the final product of a person's subconscious. When he expresses his wishes, everything starts from the desire in his subconscious. It's just that although the initial location is the same, the path he takes is different.
It can be different. In fact, the root cause of the desire to resurrect people is just the desire to be with the one you love. Just wanting to be together does not necessarily require the dead lover to be resurrected, as long as he also dies.
, aren’t we together forever?”
Liu Mengchao laughed sarcastically and continued:
"Although it is a wish, can't you get the result you want as long as you follow the simple guidance of your subconscious mind? You obviously want your beloved to be resurrected, but with the guidance of your subconscious mind, you can make him die with his dead wife.
.Isn’t it the same for me?”
"What!?"
"Didn't I just do what you wanted me to do from the beginning? When you noticed that in my subconscious, I wanted to be with the person I love forever, didn't you let Joanna say it to me?
Is that like that? As long as I nod, the next step will be for me to be with Joanna forever, and then keep killing the enemies that appear in front of me, right?"
"This... does not go against your wishes."
"Of course. Naturally, I will not go against my wish. But what happens after this? After killing nearly endless enemies, will Joanna die in front of me? Even if she doesn't die in front of me, she will beg with her dying breath.
Hold me and let me kill her. What can I do then?"
"It can end her pain..."
"Yes. End her pain. Because in my subconscious, I want to protect Anna so that she will never be hurt or suffer pain. So in order to stop her pain, I can only kill her.
.Isn’t this absurd? Under your specific environment, I’m afraid I will go crazy in the next second, right?”
"Crazy...?"
Heini asked softly.
"Crazy. Just like Saber, crazy."
As soon as Liu Mengchao finished speaking, another black wall rose up, and in the center of the screen was a girl wearing armor, kneeling on the ground, muttering to herself in disbelief.
"Why...why is it still like this...I want to protect my subjects, I want to protect my country, I want to be your ideal king...Why..."
The girl stood up unsteadily and looked at the land filled with corpses in front of her.
Among these corpses were knights who swore allegiance to him, civilians who cheered for him, and... children who had just reached their waist.
Why is this happening!?
The girl kept asking herself, she clearly wanted to save everything, but why did she see an even more tragic failure before her eyes? Why!?
The girl lowered her head, looked at the broken armor on her body, and then glanced at the broken knight's sword not far in front of her.
Victory...Oath?
You will still fail.
The girl's hand slowly grasped the hilt of the sword. At this moment, she suddenly realized that she no longer wanted to live.
Perhaps, death is the ultimate victory?
The girl only felt that there was such a cry deep in her heart, urging herself and expecting herself. So she raised the sword, stared at it, and slowly placed it on her slender neck. (To be continued...

ps:
This is the second update today~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ahem, cough, cough... I'm the commentator... I'm just kidding...
Regarding Kenneth's wish, in the final analysis, it is his yearning for his fiancée and the beautiful things in his fantasy. This can be attributed to the first type of wish, which is the fantasy of his parents who appear in front of Liu Mengchao...
As for the last Saber, it is about the desire to protect. She wants to protect her country, and Liu Mengchao is the main god girl... Hmm... Although they are different on the surface, at the end of the day, they all come from the same subconscious root.
Said the departure...
