One Hundred and Twenty-Six Ushered in the Same Disaster

Akabane's house.

This mansion, where all members of the Akabane family lived, used to be brightly lit when night came.

"Night is the time for mercenary activities."

Adhering to this principle, even at night, people can be seen everywhere in Akabane's house.

Sometimes it is a collective gathering to practice puppets.

Sometimes it is to practice magic together cross-legged.

Sometimes they are doing their own things in the room.

Sometimes they drink and chat, chatting.

This is the situation of the Akabane family in the past. If you look down from the sky, you will definitely be able to see a vibrant family base, not at all like a mercenary family licking blood on the tip of a knife.

However, today, the mansion has completely changed its appearance.

No one in sight.

Can't see.

No puppet is visible.

Can't see life.

All that came into view was a raging fire.

Yes.

The entire Akabane family mansion is on fire.

Under the extremely fast flight of the familiar, it didn't even take a day, and Luo Zhen, who had successfully rushed back to Akabane's house at nightfall, saw such a scene.

"——"

Staring at the dazzling fiery red, Luo Zhen fell into a daze.

Vaguely, Luo Zhen seemed to have seen the scene in Chaldea fifteen years ago.

At that time, under Leif's conspiracy, the control room was also engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and everything that came into view was like the front, full of raging flames.

As far as Luo Zhen is concerned, Matthew, who is almost no different from the most important person, is in the sea of ​​fire, crushed under the ruins by the concrete blocks.

Could it be that after fifteen years, he will face the same disaster again?

"Damn...!"

Without even thinking about it, Luo Zhen jumped off the eagle's back and jumped down from the sky.

"Buzz!"

The thought power transformed from the magic power immediately acted on Luo Zhen.

After five years of training, Luo Zhen's "Mind Movement" has long been pure enough to wrap itself, and fly with his thoughts.

Luo Zhen squandered his magic power recklessly, controlled his body with his thoughts, and landed in front of the gate of Akabane's house.

"!"

The scarlet fire mouse was summoned by Luo Zhen, bathed in flames, and jumped onto Luo Zhen's shoulder.

Then, Luo Zhen rushed into Akabane's house which was burning into a sea of ​​flames.

As soon as the flames that could incinerate a human body touched Luo Zhen, the fur of the fire mouse on his shoulder flashed, all of which could only bring a warm feeling.

With the protection of the Fire Rat, it is impossible for the flame to cause harm to Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen rushed into the fire scene without any scruples and entered Akabane's house.

…………

In the end, Luo Zhen still ushered in the exact same scene as he saw in the control room of Chaldea.

That is to say -- "Purgatory".

"Boom..."

With a dull sound, the charcoal-like wood fell from the ceiling and rolled to the ground.

Luo Zhen stood in front of the gate of Akabane's house and saw everything clearly.

There were burning bodies in the fire.

There was still blood on the ground.

The remains of dolls are strewn all over the place.

There are many large holes on the wall, telling Luo Zhen that there have been extremely tragic and intense records here.

Facing all this, Luo Zhen couldn't move anymore.

no way.

"You came too late, Narugami."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came into Luo Zhen's ears, causing Luo Zhen to slowly raise his head and look forward.

I saw a handsome man in a kimono slowly coming out from the depths of the sea of ​​fire in front of him.

familiar face.

familiar eyes.

familiar temperament.

familiar figure.

"Brother Tian..."

It was Akabane Tenzen.

However, this person who made Luo Zhen feel extremely familiar, with his familiar face and familiar eyes,

All hung with strange feelings.

That feeling is called coldness.

That feeling is called sharpness.

What made Luo Zhen even more unfamiliar was the things behind Akabane Tianquan.

They were six young girls in formal dresses who were completely invulnerable to the flames, with veils written with Chinese characters on their faces. They couldn't see their faces clearly, giving off a mysterious and dangerous feeling.

The six girls followed Akabane Tenquan and walked out of the sea of ​​flames together.

And in Akabane Tianquan's hand, he was still holding a half-dead boy.

"Lei Zhen!"

Impressively, it was Akabane Leizhen.

"Well…"

At this time, Akabane Leizhen seemed to be severely wounded. Not only was his body covered with scorched black marks, but he was also bruised and half dead. He could only groan in pain.

For this important younger brother who has been cared for in the past, Akabane Tianquan not only carried him like garbage, but also said so.

"I didn't kill him, he is not worth killing yet."

Akabane Tianquan confided indifferent words, and threw Akabane Leizhen directly out.

"Boom!"

Akabane Lei Zhen immediately fell heavily in front of Luo Zhen.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spewed out from Akabane Reishen's mouth.

"...!"

Luo Zhen clenched his fists tightly and did not rush forward.

"...It's a good thing you can bear it." Akabane Tianquan was both surprised and as if he felt that it was true, and said: "Although you have been very smart since you were a child, I thought that facing all this, no matter how smart you are, , it is inevitable that I will be impulsive."

Indeed, Luo Zhen now has an urge to deny everything in front of him.

But…

"No matter how impulsive, what should happen will still happen, and nothing can be changed. If this is the case, why should I be impulsive again?"

Luo Zhen whispered such words as if he had killed all his emotions.

If possible, Luo Zhen would of course want to stop everything in front of him.

But since the matter has already happened, Luo Zhen can only endure it and save up his emotions and impulses.

Only in this way can they be turned into strength when it is time to vent.

This is what Luo Zhen does. The more he faces a crisis, the more he can demonstrate his quality and ability.

"As expected of you."

Akabane Tianquan only responded like this.

The and the of the Akabane family looked at each other in this sea of ​​flames, one eye was full of indifference, and the other was full of passion.

Then, a short question-and-answer session began.

"Where's father?"

"The corpse should be in the fire over there, with everyone in the clan."

"...You did all this?"

"yes."

"……Why?"

"You won't understand."

"……Yeah?"

"Because you are only interested in your own practice, and your vision is too low to see things that are too high."

The two asked and answered very simply, one killed their own feelings, and the other froze all their feelings.

Then…

"Where's Nadeko?"

Luo Zhen asked the last question.

In exchange for this answer.

"died."

Akabane Tenzen declared flatly.

"I have disassembled her and used it as a material to make the six dolls here."

The six girls following Akabane Tenquan were all automata.

Moreover, it was an automaton made by Akabane Tensen himself.

Use your own sister's body.

"……Understood."

Luo Zhen lowered his head.

A huge amount of magical power surged out of his body.

"Crazy!"

The huge eagle swooped down from the sky and stretched out its sharp claws toward Akabane Tenquan's head. 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
