Chapter 12 The Heart of Fear
When the early morning sunlight first shone on the treetops in the courtyard of Matou's house, Matou Kariya, who was leaning against the door, finally woke up.
Behind him, Dr. Matou Sakura opened the door. The little girl with black hair raised her head and looked at Uncle Matou who suddenly appeared in front of her with some confusion.
"Sakura...good morning."
Matou Kariya said, while subconsciously turning half of his body that had completely decayed. For the little girl behind him, his current appearance is really too scary. So it is better not to let Sakura
What you see is good.
Matou Kariya was thinking to herself as he turned sideways and said, "Did you sleep well last night, Sakura-chan?"
"good!"
The little girl who was just five years old didn't understand the crisis she experienced last night. The innocent and cute smile on her face made Matou Kariya feel pain in her heart.
If he fails in the Holy Grail War, Sakura will probably fall into the clutches of Matou Zouken again, right? Judging from Matou Zouken's attitude last night, his desire for Sakura's body is not a day or two.
thing.
only……
Matou Kariya looked at Sakura being taken away by the servants at home, and couldn't help but frowned.
"Liu Mengchao..."
Matou Kariya said softly, he knew that his elusive followers were by his side at this moment. These heroes from ancient times are actually very similar to familiars to some extent. They also rely on the magic power of the master.
To survive, in other words, if the master dies, these followers are likely to die as well.
"Are you worried about Matou Sakura?"
Liu Mengchao's voice suddenly came from the top of Matou Yanye's head. Matou Yanye subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of Liu Mengchao's voice. He saw Liu Mengchao sitting on the roof of the house, squinting.
His eyes.
"The master must work with the servants. If we leave Sakura alone now, then Matou Zouken will most likely come back."
Listening to Matou Yanye's words, Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded, then took up what Matou Yanye said.
"But if we stay here all the time, we won't be able to know the situation of other servants, and defeat them when they are at their weakest."
Matou Kariya nodded, but didn't know what to say. He was even thinking...
"How great would it be if I didn't only have half a month to live?"
Liu Mengchao's voice suddenly sounded.
"How did you know?" Matou Kariya asked subconsciously, but quickly closed his mouth. He remembered the scene when he met Liu Mengchao overseas a year ago.
It was obviously just the first time to meet someone who didn't even know me at all. He actually reported his deepest thoughts in one breath and directly exposed his lies, as if this person named Liu Mengchao could...
"It's like I can see through people's hearts, isn't it?"
Liu Mengchao chuckled lightly, put his hand on the eaves, and jumped down directly, standing in front of Matou Yanye.
"You really can?"
Matou Kariya said, with a feeling of fear in his heart. He was obviously just his servant, and he still held three command spells in his hand that could make his servants do anything. How could he be afraid of Liu Mengchao?
"The core of fear is the possibility of pain. Whether it is physical or psychological. Of course, for many emotional psychologists and researchers, pain is not essentially an emotion." Liu Mengchao smiled while speaking.
The Tong family's mansion started to wander.
Although Matou Kariya felt that he did not have Liu Mengchao's ability to see through people's hearts, he could still feel that Liu Mengchao was in a good mood now.
"Why can't pain be an emotion?" Matou Kariya asked.
"Because pain is too specific, it cannot be called an emotion. We can clearly identify where many types of pain are located, but anger, fear, worry, terror, or sadness and pain are rooted in which part of our body.
Parts. But no one knows."
Liu Mengchao was obviously in a surprisingly good mood, as seen by Matou Kariya. Is it because the ability that he hated was sealed by the job agency Berserker?
So Liu Mengchao still relied on his good mood and talked about his understanding of fear.
"Just like with sexual desire. We can feel pain, and we can't mistake where the pain is coming from. If we cut our finger, we would never rub our elbow to relieve the pain, just as we would not during sexual desire.
It’s the same as making a mistake about which part of your body you should arouse. Pain and sexual desire are both very important, and we will have many emotions because of them, but they are not emotions themselves.”
Liu Mengchao spoke a long speech, and it was obvious that he must be in an extremely good mood now. Then he turned his head and looked at Matou Kariya, who looked confused, and Liu Mengchao couldn't help laughing anymore.
"Forget it, let's explain it in words you can understand. The reason why you feel scared when you see me is because I once deeply hurt you psychologically, and the Matou Zoyan you are worried about...
…Not only his body, but also his rotten soul has been riddled with holes by me. This fear derived from pain will not gradually disappear until he is sure that we have failed. So in
Before that..."
"Is Sakura still safe?"
Matou Kariya said with some suspicion. Although he very much agreed with Liu Mengchao's remarks just now, he still felt a little uneasy at the thought of putting Sakura in danger.
"nature……"
As Liu Mengchao spoke, he gently reached out with his hands from his waist, and took out a white ivory gun and another black ebony gun. The two guns were placed on the left and right in Liu Mengchao's hands.
He slowly raised his guns and narrowed his eyes.
"what are you up to!?"
Matou Kariya screamed anxiously.
Liu Mengchao did not answer, but opened his lips slightly and shouted softly.
"Gun God!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In just an instant, orange-red flames erupted from the muzzles of the black ebony wood and white ivory guns. Under Matou Kariya's surprised gaze, they collided with each other in the air.
I saw these bullets rubbing against each other one by one, constantly emitting dazzling sparks, like a golden silk scarf, slowly rolling up to the peach tree in the courtyard.
When the bullet was flying in the air, it actually gave him a slow feeling!? Matou Kariya subconsciously shook his head and looked in the direction of the bullet.
There was just a slight ringing of the bell, and the bullets immediately fell to the ground sparsely like raindrops.
But Matou Kariya's eyes were completely attracted by another thing.
A bug, a dead bug. This bug didn't look like it was hit by a bullet, but it looked like it was squeezed between two huge millstones, and then ground into pieces little by little.
.
"Not bad, right?"
Liu Mengchao said with a smile.
"this……"
"Even if you are a magician who is so old that his coffin will rot, you can still get better by using the technique of monitoring with a familiar. Generally, for magicians, the simplest method is to perceive together. Combine your vision with
Hearing is attached to the familiar. Even if the familiar dies, it will not be able to cause much damage to him, and it can also be used to detect the enemy's attack methods."
"Then you still want to do this?"
"That's right, because for Matou Zangyan, this is fundamentally different." Liu Mengchao said, gently turning the two guns in his hands and inserting them directly back into his waist, "His body can have countless bodies, but his
The soul is just a puddle of mud. Killing so many bodies is too time-consuming for us. On the contrary, it is much simpler for Ling Chi to execute his soul."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Mengchao turned around and stood on the commanding heights of the Matong family again, and then squatted down.
"What are you..."
"Doing a final inspection." Liu Mengchao said, pointing at his own eyes, "Gifted from the Skywalkers, I can see all the people who are hostile to me. Naturally, the insects transformed by Matou Zangyan can't see them either.
exception."
Hearing Liu Mengchao's words, Matou Kariya's face suddenly flashed with joy, and he subconsciously said, "Does it mean that there is no longer Matou Zangyan's familiar in this house?"
"So be it." Liu Mengchao said, standing up again, "We have more important things to do now."
"matter?"
Liu Mengchao grinned subconsciously and chuckled: "Why don't you say hello to your opponents who have come from afar?" (To be continued...)
