Chapter 317: #317 - Section 317

On the wasteland, priests from the Burial Agency of the Holy Church stood around a scorched forest, their faces solemn.

They had received a message within the church that a black forest had suddenly appeared on this plain, seemingly composed entirely of burnt trees. This sudden occurrence frightened witnesses, who then reported it to the police. The police eventually relayed the information to the Holy Church.

Consequently, they immediately dispatched people from the Holy Church to investigate.

Support Priests, affiliated with various churches of the Holy Church, are specifically tasked with gathering various information and providing intelligence support to the Holy Church.

Upon receiving the message, they immediately understood that the suddenly appearing black forest should be the Seventh Ancestor, Fuhai Lin Anaxiu. According to their data, it should only appear every 50 years, but the 50-year period hasn't arrived yet. Why did it appear now?

However, when they arrived at the scene, they understood why the Seventh Ancestor Fuhai Lin had suddenly appeared prematurely.

"Is it dead?"

"That's right, it's dead. All the trees are dead, burnt to death by fire."

Several priests stood before the "corpse" of Fuhai Lin, frowning as they looked at the scorched forest.

"What fire could burn Fuhai Lin like this? I remember the records stating that Fuhai Lin couldn't be burned, right?"

"That's right, flames cannot ignite the branches of Fuhai Lin, so this wasn't ignited and burned."

"Was it instantly roasted to death by the high temperature of direct flames?"

"If that were possible, Fuhai Lin wouldn't have become the Seventh Ancestor. Even if an army came, they wouldn't be able to deal with this thing. How strong would the flames have to be? Even the strongest fire-attribute magician couldn't achieve this."

The priests' expressions were somewhat grave, as they were encountering something they couldn't imagine.

"Let the Burial Agency handle it. This matter is beyond our ability to intervene. Let those Executors find the cause of Fuhai Lin's death and then find the culprit who killed it."

"Indeed, this is beyond the capabilities of support personnel like us. Let the Executors handle it."

"We've already arrived!"

The priests were still discussing when a voice came from behind them. The priests turned around and saw a special team.

A middle-aged man wearing a priestly robe and a blue-haired girl wearing a nun's habit, a total of two people.

"You are?"

The priests looked at the two people in confusion.

"Didn't you just say you wanted us to come?"

The blue-haired girl coldly glanced at the priests, and the priests who were glanced at trembled all over, then nodded quickly.

"So you are Executors from the Burial Agency. Now that you two have arrived, we will leave this place to you."

The people in the Burial Agency are all ruthless killers because they are fighting inhuman monsters, so they act as quickly as possible.

They, these support priests, are just ordinary priests, at most slightly skilled in Bajiquan, carrying a few Black Keys, and maybe a bit of Holy Water.

Facing these Executors from the Burial Agency, a whole group of them wouldn't be enough for one of them to handle.

After a brief exchange, the priests immediately left. They wouldn't leave completely, but would provide support on the periphery, preventing anyone from entering this area. This is what they must do as support priests.

The support priests left, leaving only the two Executors from the Burial Agency on the periphery of Fuhai Lin.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look."

The blue-haired girl looked at the surrounding environment, then spoke to the middle-aged man beside her.

"Of course, I'm very curious how Fuhai Lin died."

The middle-aged man watched as the surrounding priests disappeared, and his body suddenly changed, turning into a young boy wearing a white robe, even shorter than the blue-haired girl beside him.

"Let's go."

The boy took the lead and walked into the scorched forest, the girl curled her lips and followed.

The two walked into the forest, touching the scorched tree trunks as they went, and they were very surprised when they touched them.

"It's still warm."

"Which means Fuhai Lin hasn't been dead for long."

"We came pretty quickly, but this guy's death didn't even happen that long ago, do you understand what that means?"

"The person who killed Fuhai Lin might not have gone far."

"That's right, but we can't go looking for them, because Fuhai Lin was easily killed by them. With just the two of us, we can't deal with them."

The boy patted the tree trunk next to him.

"Such a terrifying fire-attribute burst isn't something we can handle. I'm afraid we'd be burned to death before we could do anything."

"Then let's figure out the situation with Fuhai Lin first."

As members of the Burial Agency, their hunting target is the Ancestors. Even if an Ancestor dies, they must figure out why the Ancestor died, because the one who kills an Ancestor often becomes the next Ancestor.

They want to confirm whether the person who killed Fuhai Lin has taken Fuhai Lin's power to become the next Ancestor.

As for what Fuhai Lin's power is, it's simple, the red fruit that has been passed down by many magicians, the Child of Fuhai Lin.

The two went all the way into the depths of the forest, then came to the center of the forest, and when they came to the very center, they were both shocked.

In the center was a huge pit, at least a hundred meters in diameter, as if a piece of land had been burned away. All that could be seen was a pool of magma emitting terrifying heat at the bottom of the pit.

"Was it hit by a meteorite?"

"And a very, very big meteorite."

"But obviously, it's impossible. When Fuhai Lin doesn't appear, he's always in his own bounded field. Meteorites can't hit him unless there's a magician who enters it and summons a meteorite."

"That's not a good joke to hear."

Summoning a meteorite, how terrifying would that magician have to be?

But whether it's a meteorite or a fire burst, the power to directly kill such a large area of forest monster like Fuhai Lin is not something they can face head-on.

"I don't know if the Child of Fuhai Lin has been taken away by the other party. Let's just assume that it has been taken away by the other party, after all, if they didn't take the Child of Fuhai Lin, there would be no point in them entering this bounded field specifically to kill Fuhai Lin."

From a profit perspective, there's absolutely no problem in thinking like that.

"Alright, we've confirmed it here too, let's go back and report to the boss."

After not getting too much useful information at the core, they chose to take the information they had temporarily obtained back to the Burial Agency to report.

After a simple report, the Burial Agency announced a suspected new Seventh Ancestor, code-named "Blast Flame."

649. Target: Mystic Eyes of Death Perception

A new Seventh Ancestor has been born. Unknown name, unknown appearance, not even knowing if the other party is human. All that is known is that the other party possesses powerful fire-attribute abilities and killed the original Seventh Ancestor, taking the other party's fruit.

The Holy Church doesn't even know if the other party actually took the fruit of the Seventh Ancestor, but they released the message like this because only by releasing the message like this can it have the greatest effect. And the effect is that magicians are starting to take action.

The magicians of the Type-Moon world are capable of doing anything to pursue their dreams. The so-called magicians are a group of people who have mastered mysterious powers but most of them have problems with their brains. They don't have the values of ordinary humans, and their style of doing things is completely based on their own ideas, unrestrained by the law. Even if they are restrained by the Magus Association, they can betray them at any time to get what they want and become a wanted criminal on the spot.

As for the things that magicians do, to put it nicely, it's a dream, to put it bluntly, it's for their own evil purposes!

As soon as the Holy Church's message came out, magicians immediately began to take action. Most of the Ancestors are active in Europe, and Europe is the stronghold of magicians, so many magician families have mobilized. After all, that Blast Flame who killed the Seventh Ancestor should still be in Europe. This is the world of magicians, and the probability of finding the other party is extremely high!

However, just as the magicians began searching for this newly advanced Seventh Ancestor, Wang Xiaoming had already taken Leticia and left Europe, boarding a plane to Japan.

After nonchalantly dealing with the Fuhai Lin, Wang Xiaoming took Leticia to a town where humans gathered and learned about the situation of this world.

There are Twenty-Seven Ancestors, so it's basically certain that this is the Type-Moon world, and most likely a parallel world of the Type-Moon world, but within parallel worlds, different timelines play out different stories.

Wang Xiaoming tried various methods and finally figured out some things about this world.

For example, there are eight Executor in the Burial Agency of the Holy Church. For example, there are now several Magic Users in the world, and the title of the Fifth Magic User is "Blue." Also, for example, True Ancestor Executioners have recently reappeared.

Combining these pieces of information, Wang Xiaoming judged the general situation of this parallel world.

Unlike the Fate series, which is dominated by Heroic Spirits and the Holy Grail, this is a branch of the Type-Moon world called Tsukihime!

The eight Executors of the Burial Agency are used to seal or kill the Twenty-Seven Ancestors. The Fifth Magic User "Blue" is Aozaki Aoko from "Witch on the Holy Night." It seems that the Witch on the Holy Night has already ended here, and Aoko and her sister Touko have completely become mature older sisters.

And the last one is the most important, the True Ancestor Executioner. The so-called True Ancestor Executioner refers to the strongest True Ancestor, that is, Princess of the Crimson Moon, Arcueid Brunestud! The absolute heroine of the Tsukihime world.

So, this world is indeed related to the moon, and it is the Type-Moon world, and the Tsukihime world, but it has almost nothing to do with the Moon God. At best, Zhu Yue can be considered a Moon God?

But this world has an attack move that is very closely related to the moon.

Pseudo · Moon Drop!

An attack that materializes the moon and then drops it to smash people. It is also Arcueid's ultimate move, and the scene is quite explosive.

After obtaining this information, Wang Xiaoming looked at the current year, which is 2000. That is to say, the story of Tsukihime has just begun. According to the previous news, the True Ancestor Executioner has only appeared not long ago. Therefore, the story of Tsukihime may not have started yet.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoming immediately took Leticia to Japan.

In Japan in this world, there are several very powerful things that Wang Xiaoming is very interested in.

Mystic Eyes!

In the world of Tsukihime, whether it is a magician or an ancestor, they all have their own unique abilities. One of these abilities is Mystic Eyes. Mystic Eyes have very special abilities, and there is almost no cost to activate them.

For example, the Mystic Eyes of Distortion that can distort everything, the Mystic Eyes of Petrification that can petrify people, and the most powerful, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception that can see the lines of death of all things!

Among them, the Mystic Eyes of Distortion and the Mystic Eyes of Petrification can still be resisted, but the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is really unreasonable. No matter what it is, even if it is a conceptual existence, it can be killed. It's like a certain unnamed Ryougi Shiki said: As long as it is alive, even if it is a god, I will kill it for you!

Wang Xiaoming plans to find the second pair of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, and then take it to study.

That's right, Wang Xiaoming is going to seize the Mystic Eyes.

The world of Tsukihime is essentially a world extended from a galgame. The world background is set very high-end, but this world has a male protagonist and a group of female protagonists.

The one who possesses the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is the male protagonist in this plot.

The owner of the first pair of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is Ryougi Shiki, who uses a short knife to cut the sky and the earth. Wang Xiaoming is not afraid of her, but Wang Xiaoming doesn't think it is necessary to provoke her, because there is a very soft persimmon next to her.

Tohno Shiki, because the artists are the same person, looks especially like the Gudao who saved humanity many years later.

Oh no, it should be said that Gudao looks like this Tohno Shiki, just like Rin Tohsaka next door was developed based on Aozaki Aoko.

Tohno Shiki, originally Nanaya Shiki, was the eldest son of the Nanaya family, one of the four major demon-hunting families. He was trained as a high-level killer since he was a child and was good at various killing techniques. Because he feared the power of the Nanaya family, Tohno Makihisa, the head of the Tohno family, designed to destroy the Nanaya family, exterminating the entire clan, leaving only Nanaya Shiki, because he needed Nanaya Shiki to suppress the inhuman blood in his body. So, he sealed Nanaya Shiki's memory, renamed him Tohno Shiki, and adopted him into the family.

As a result, Tohno Makihisa's son had a reversal impulse and attacked his daughter, Tohno Akiba. Tohno Shiki was killed on the spot to protect Akiba. Akiba didn't want Shiki to die, so she gave him half of her life force, allowing him to come back to life. And Tohno Shiki, who came back to life, because he had died once and experienced "death", awakened the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

The powerful Mystic Eyes made him see everything as dots and lines, and his spirit almost collapsed after a long time, until he met Aozaki Aoko, who gave him Mystic Eye Killers that could suppress the Mystic Eyes, so he was finally able to see the normal world while wearing glasses.

And now, this assassin with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is just a high school student, and is Wang Xiaoming's best target choice!

650. Tohno Shiki

Misaki Town, the city where the four major demon-hunting families live, and also the city where Tohno Shiki is located.

As a male high school student, Tohno Shiki, like other high school students, commutes to school in the city. Today, he also finished his day's classes at school as usual, and walked home alone.

As usual, after arriving at the street intersection, he waited for the traffic lights at the intersection.

However, when he was waiting for the traffic lights as boring as usual, he found that on the opposite side of the zebra crossing, there was a girl in a maid outfit staring at him expressionlessly.

Although it felt strange, Shiki just felt that the other party was staring at him, with blood-red eyes, a perfect face, dazzling blond hair, and a petite body matched with that blue and white maid outfit, it looked simply unbelievably cute.

Such a cute girl is looking at him?

Shiki felt that he was hallucinating. Although it was not one of the three major illusions, "She's looking at me" is also a kind of illusion.

For this reason, Shiki even moved slightly, and he found that the other party's bright red eyes were also moving with his movement. This was not an illusion, the other party was really looking at him.

Shiki was very puzzled for a while, could there be something on him?

He couldn't help but look down at his body, and found that there was nothing strange on his body, just a very ordinary school uniform, probably that child was simply a little curious about strangers.

Thinking like this, Shiki looked up at the other party and found that the blonde girl suddenly smiled after he looked up.

Huh?

Beep——

At this time, the traffic lights changed, turning into a green light for pedestrians to walk, and Shiki pulsed his legs and began to walk towards the opposite side of the road.

However, the blonde girl who was waiting for the traffic lights like him did not cross the road, but suddenly turned her head and walked down the street.

When Shiki walked across the zebra crossing, the girl had already walked a little distance away.

Shiki, who had crossed the zebra crossing, looked at the girl walking away, and was a little curious for a while, what did that girl's smile just now mean?

As if possessed by a ghost, he did not go home, but turned around and followed behind the blonde girl, walking along the street into the distance.

As for why he followed the girl, he didn't know, and he didn't know, but there seemed to be a force in his heart driving him to follow behind that girl, and then his body moved, following the blonde girl.

Along the way, the blonde girl had no intention of looking back at all, just walking forward silently, while Shiki followed silently behind. At the beginning, Shiki was still following relatively normally, but as he walked, his consciousness began to become weaker and weaker, and his body's movements also seemed to become more and more stiff, looking like a walking corpse.
