real world.
Yaoguang-Chaldea Headquarters.
Irisviel covered her mouth: "Is this... Kiritsugu's way of saving the world... Well, luckily my Kiritsugu doesn't have such thoughts..."
Outside Orleans.
After Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned, he showed an expression that said, "Sure enough," he was obviously not surprised by this choice, because he had already seen through the image of himself in the light screen.
Tianwang International High School.
Emiya Shirou: "Such a thing...such a thing...can such a thing be considered justice? The so-called saving the world means killing some people to save the rest? Are you kidding!?"
Tianwang International High School, Primary School.
Illya was so frightened that her face turned pale and she could not speak.

In the light screen image, just when Emiya Kiritsugu looked like he was shocked for a hundred years, a cell phone ring rang.
Emiya Kiritsugu looked down and found that there was a mobile phone in his right hand. When he looked up again, he found that he was back in the hotel bedroom before.
This kind of scene change is very abrupt and gives people a very weird feeling. Combined with the BGM of the underworld, it feels like being in some kind of brain-burning horror movie.
After a slight hesitation, Emiya Kiritsugu picked up the phone and pressed the connect button.
Then, the electronic sound sounded again: "Next, the 300 surviving people abandoned the damaged ship and boarded two new ships to continue sailing."
"This time there were 200 and 100 people on the two ships respectively. However, holes were broken in the bottoms of the two ships at the same time."
"Then you are kidnapped by people on that small boat with 100 people on it and they ask you to repair their boat first - so what do you do?"
It’s the same question again, the same multiple choice question again.
Like a matryoshka doll.
However, this kind of matryoshka doll makes people's scalp numb, because everyone realizes that this is a fatal problem posed to Emiya Kiritsugu's habits.
Many people couldn't help complaining about the poor quality of this boat, which always had holes at the same time.
Of course, this is just a nonsense comment to adjust the atmosphere. In fact, everyone can guess what Emiya Kiritsugu will choose.
In the light screen image, when Emiya Kiritsugu was about to say something, the phone suddenly hung up.
When Emiya Kiritsugu put down his cell phone and looked at it, he looked up again and found that he had arrived at Fuyuki Port, and an explosion suddenly occurred on the sea in the distance.
Taking a closer look, it was a small boat that exploded. The people on board were burning in the flames, screaming and dying, and no one was spared.
What this scene represents has been clearly revealed.
Emiya Kiritsugu's expression trembled, he was greatly shocked, and the electronic sound from before sounded again, but this time it became extremely clear, without the interruption of the electronic sound.
"Yes, you are correct."
Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu's voice was a little hoarse, and he gritted his teeth and tried to deny: "You're kidding...are you kidding me? How is this right?"
"Only two hundred people survived, but three hundred people died because of this! The needle of the scale is simply pointing the wrong way!"
Hiss~~
Good guy!
It turns out that you thought you were wrong. Is it because more people died due to two consecutive choices?
Damn it, Emiya Kiritsugu, your way of thinking is really different. Life in your heart is really just a number! And the one with more numbers is correct!
————
In the light screen image, the electronic sound sounded again, using Emiya Kiritsugu's voice to torture Emiya Kiritsugu's soul.
"No, there is no miscalculation. You will indeed choose to sacrifice the minority in order to save the majority."
"That's right, Emiya Kiritsugu."
"You have been personally ruining the few people who failed to let the needle of the scale point to themselves."
"Even if this will create a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, as long as there are lives that can be saved, the number that is protected will be more precious."
Listening to these words of soul torture, Emiya Kiritsugu gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice: "Is this... what you want to show me?"
Electronic voice: "Yes, this is your truth - the answer in the heart of a man named Emiya Kiritsugu!"
Emiya Kiritsugu returned to the island where he started, and the black rain became more intense.
"In other words, this is what the Holy Grail should do as a wishing machine."
Hiss~~
Good guy, this contaminated Holy Grail is indeed evil.
In other words, if Emiya Kiritsugu really made a wish to save the world to this Holy Grail, would the Holy Grail use murder to fulfill his wish?
So how many people will be killed?
Killing criminals who cause disaster?
Kill ambitious careerists?
Killing people with conflicts of interest?
Kill people who quarrel with each other?
Killing people with evil intentions?
Kill...
Hiss~~
In this case, how many people need to be killed to truly save the world and bring world peace?
You must know that wherever there are people there are rivers and lakes, and wherever there are people there are conflicts, ranging from small ones between neighbors, even between family members, to large ones between countries.
How can this so-called true peace be truly realized?
In the light screen image, Emiya Kiritsugu was obviously aware of this problem and immediately denied it loudly: "No, I don't want this! Even if I really want to save the world, I hope there is another way!"
At this point, his voice became deeper, as if he was thinking of his old self who insisted on his ideals, "So...I could only hope for a 'miracle'..."
Then, that voice - to be more precise, it should be the voice of the Holy Grail sounded again.
"You can't include methods in your wishes that you don't know about. If you want to save the world, then your wishes can only be realized through the means you know."
The implication is that if Emiya Kiritsugu really makes a wish for the Holy Grail, he will use Emiya Kiritsugu's method to save the world, which means that he will definitely kill everyone.
This made people in the real world stand on end. It was a good thing that Emiya Kiritsugu didn't make a wish for the Holy Grail, otherwise it would have been terrible.
At the same time, I also developed a strong fear of the so-called righteous people and heroic people who want to save the world.
If such people really find a miraculous way, then once they are granted a wish for world peace by that miraculous thing, it will be the biggest disaster in the world.
It is a disaster ten thousand times greater than the damage caused to the earth by the mysterious things currently!

In the light screen image, Emiya Kiritsugu directly denied the Holy Grail's words: "How can this...be called a miracle?"
Voice of the Holy Grail: "Of course it is a miracle - this is the ambition you have set but have never been able to realize on your own."
"And the Holy Grail can do what you can do on a scale that is beyond the reach of human beings. If this is not a miracle, what is it?"
After hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu was about to say something, but suddenly, the scene in front of him changed.
The long-dead Noriken Emiya appeared in front of him.
Then, before Emiya Kiritsugu could react, he heard the sound of gunshots and Emiya Noriken fell into a pool of blood.
Immediately afterwards, the scene changed to a speedboat, a roar appeared, and a plane exploded in the sky.
In just these few seconds, Emiya Kiritsugu relived the feeling of killing his father and killing his mother.
This gave Emiya Kiritsugu a huge psychological impact, and then the sound of the Holy Grail sounded.
"Emiya Kiritsugu, you are the real 'Angora Mainyu' and the best person to shoulder 'all the evil in this world'."
As he finished speaking, Emiya Kiritsugu found that he had changed the scene again and came to a small wooden house.
In front of Emiya Kiritsugu, there were three people.
Kuu Maiya is wearing a black butler uniform, Illya, a little girl who looks only four or five years old, and Irisviel is wearing a white dress.
Voice of the Holy Grail: "Then, the last question - there are three people left, do you want to save two, or choose to save one?"
Then, Emiya Kiritsugu found that his body was moving on its own, and a dagger appeared in his hand. Then he walked over and killed Kuu Maiya with one blow.
Such a scene has completely turned Emiya Kiritsugu into a wooden man, and it has also made people in the real world feel disgusted. The thick malice, coming towards the face through the light screen image, is really unbearable.
.
Then, in Emiya Kiritsugu's daze, the scene in front of him changed again, and he came to a luxurious, large room in a medieval European castle.
Illya's cute voice sounded: "Welcome home, Kiritsugu! You are finally back!"
