Chapter 190 Within the Holy Grail
"One ship has three hundred people, another two hundred people, a total of five hundred flight attendants and passengers, and Kiritsugu Emiya. Assume that these five hundred and one person is the last remaining human in this world."
When Kiritsugu Emiya landed on one of the ships, a sound came from the sky. After a brief explanation of the voice, he asked: "The two ships were opened at the bottom of the ships at the same time, and Kiritsugu was the only one who had ship repair technology. When repairing one ship, the other ship would sink. So, which ship would you choose to repair?"
“…Of course it’s the one with a lot of people.”
It was a natural choice, but Kiritsugu Emiya hesitated for a moment.
"What would you do if you make a decision when two hundred people on the other boat hold you up and ask to "repair the ship first"?"
“…”
Before Emiya Kiritsugu could answer, a machine gun appeared in his hand. The machine gun fired a bullet mercilessly, but his fingers had not moved.
Emiya Kiritsugu watched all this blankly, and the two hundred people were shot and killed in an instant. And the two hundred people seemed to have the appearance he knew, and some of them even had some meaning to him...
"Then, the remaining three hundred people abandoned the damaged ships and continued sailing on two new ships. This time, one ship had two hundred people and one hundred people. But the bottom of the two ships once again appeared big holes at the same time."
"Hello......"
Emiya Kiritsugu hid his anger, but he couldn't let "her" stop.
"You were held by a hundred people on the boat and asked to repair the boat first. What would you do?"
"Wait first...this is..."
Emiya Kiritsugu was afraid and wanted "her" to stop.
"This is really simple. Do you need me to help you choose?"
"Stop kidding...?"
This sudden sound is not "her", and this sound is...
"Wu Jian!?"
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't need to turn around because Wu Jian had already stood beside him.
"you......"
Since the Holy Grail is ready, Wu Jian should have been defeated, why is he still alive? - This question was not asked by Kiritsugu Emiya.
"Why am I not dead yet? Or why am I here? To be honest, I was really convinced. I was actually put on a trick like this... But judging from your appearance, it's not something you or the Holy Grail. Who is it?"
Wu Jian touched his head with a puzzled look, but no one answered his question. Even "she" fell silent at the moment when Wu Jian appeared.
"By the way, right. You seemed to be very confused about the question just now, so let me answer it for you."
Wu Jian raised his hand and waved it down. One of the small boats was photographed into the sea, forming a small vortex.
"you......"
"Is there anything wrong?"
Wu Jian asked calmly, and Kiritsugu, who wanted to grab Wu Jian's collar, also put down his hand. Although this was a torment for him, he also had the same choice as Wu Jian.
"It's really unreasonable. You're so entangled. Can you be called the messenger of justice like this?"
"...I have never regarded myself as a messenger of justice!"
"Is this really the case? If so, then you just do it entirely on your instinct and have no awareness at all?"
How could it be that there was no? No matter how awkward it was, Emiya Kiritsugu still knew what definition he had about what he wanted to do. However, he was afraid that the identity of the messenger of justice would be criticized.
"Don't make a mistake, I'm not saying that sacrificing life is not qualified to be a messenger of justice. If you really want to save it, you should have done it without hesitation just now."
Without hesitation?
"What are you talking about..."
Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes widened. The person in front of him actually said he should not hesitate?
"Oh, it seems you still don't understand." Wu Jian shook his head and explained: "The answers to the question in the Holy Grail are only given three answers. One is to save the ship A, the other is to save the ship B, and the other is to neither. You shouldn't tell me that there is a hidden fourth answer, right? If so, then I will ask your Chinese teacher how to ask the question."
Wu Jian stared at Kiritsugu Emiya for a moment, and then continued: "There are only three results pages caused by these answers. 1: A is saved, B is sunk; 2: B is saved, A is sunk; 3: Two ships sink together. Tell me, what would a normal person choose?"
"this......"
Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head. Although it was a correct theory, he could not let it go. Because in this case, what has always troubled him - can sacrifice be explained so simply?
"Hey, you're really a damn brain."
Although I don’t know what Kiritsugu Emiya was thinking, I knew it was not an optimistic thing when he looked at his expression. So Wu Jian asked again: “Then I will ask you, if you could choose two boats to save them together, would you choose this?”
Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly raised his head and said, "Of course I'm trying to find a way to save me!"
"Then you are struggling with it!? Of course, you should save it together, but if there is no way, you can only cut the mess quickly. You wouldn't think that in this case, you can find a way slowly, right?"
"I...is it such a simple thing for you to sacrifice your life?" Kiritsugu Emiya raised his head and asked Wu Jianfa.
"Don't make a mistake, that's your problem." Wu Jian raised his head and looked down on Kiritsugu Emiya and said, "If it were me, the questioner would obediently add the fourth option to me, and that would be to save the two together!"
"Hahaha......"
Emiya Kiritsugu had no choice but to kneel down and smile dryly.
"This is the gap in strength."
"strength......?"
"Yes, with your strength, you can only choose to sacrifice in this situation. But I can save them all. Kiritsugu, the so-called messenger of justice, cannot do it just by wanting to do it, so you must have unparalleled strength."
“…”
Emiya Kiritsugu's mouth opened and closed, but he just didn't know what to say.
"Also, you've made a mistake." Wu Jian squatted down and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu: "You are not the one who gives and save, but the one who is saved."
“…I need to be saved…”
"Yes, in the incident that forced you to kill your father, weren't you eager to save everything perfectly?"
"Ha...are I just playing the role of the messenger of justice because of my desire for heroes?"
"Who knows? You know why you are going on this path and you know that no one can draw this conclusion for you. But at least, you are indeed planning to save the world, so I am sure of you."
Wu Jian stood up and turned around, and Emiya Kiritsugu also raised his head.
"But, saving the world - making the world peaceful and no longer fighting is too unrealistic for you, and you don't have the ability to do it."
"That's why I'm going to seek the Holy Grail!"
"Hmph, I won't say that your wish can't be fulfilled, but this is the result of this unknown thing." Wu Jian said, pointing to the place where the ship sank.
"What will happen to the Holy Grail...?" Kiritsugu Emiya stood up and asked?
"How? The question it asks you is the answer, and in the end you will only be human."
"You must never let it succeed!" Kiritsugu Emiya said with a firm expression.
"That's right, but even if you leave it alone, I'm afraid it can appear in that world."
"Then...what should we do? Such a huge darkness, even if you can eliminate it, it will probably cause huge sacrifices..."
“…For me, if I have worked hard, sacrifice doesn’t matter…”
"Wu Jian!"
Emiya Kiritsugu was very anxious because he understood that he could not tolerate sacrifice.
"What's the rush? Isn't it still inside the Holy Grail? ... But in the outside world, because the Holy Grail has been formed, it can flow through that hole."
Wu Jian pointed to his finger, and Kiritsugu Emiya hurriedly raised his head, but because of the illusion, he did not see the hole that thought it was the black sun before.
"Then...just destroy that hole?"
"It's not impossible, but that hole is actually a space hole. Although it can be destroyed, it is possible to expand that hole."
“Then what should I do…”
Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head and fell into deep thought, but Wu Jian laughed.
"Hey, didn't I say you were the one who was saved?"
"Forehead......"
"In the outside world, there should be a little holy grail. It connects here and outside world through that little holy grail. As long as you destroy that little holy grail, you can cut off its connection."
"...... After cutting off the contact, the hole will not disappear immediately, if it gets out of control..."
"Then you don't have to worry about it, I'll just play with it."
"...Are you going to stay here? Once that hole is closed, you will...."
After hearing Wu Jian's words, Kiritsugu Emiya was ready to leave, but he still reminded Wu Jian.
"Hmph, then thank you for your concern. Shuttle space is my specialty, so you don't need to worry."
