Chapter 1188 1181 "You Will Die Here"
Chapter 1188 "You will die here"
I will definitely witness someone else's death here again.
Holding the pistol on my waist, I tiptoed into the cellar with the broken iron door. There was no murderous intent or any dangerous atmosphere. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the residual heat of the battle had cooled down.
The small figure curled up on the floor, the breathing sound was so shallow that it was almost imperceptible, the body temperature was motionless and slowly cooled down, which made people feel nostalgic unexpectedly.
Because I knew that this scene would appear sooner or later.
I only saved the life of this girl. The moment she met Kiritsugu, her heart was dead. She survived the baptism of bullets and gunpowder, and she felt at a loss for this luck instead of being grateful.
She no longer felt any value or joy in surviving as a human again.
So I have to return the life I picked up to the owner who gave this life - the girl has closed her eyes as if she was telling Kiritsugu this. That was the encounter eleven years ago.
Kiritsugu also accepted her idea.
This girl will die in the near future, with a certain premonition. Kiritsugu killed his biological father and adoptive mother with his own hands. So he knew very well that this girl who stood by him would soon go down a path of no return.
But even so, the more tools he could use, the better. Sooner or later, she would lose her usefulness and be abandoned. If she could save the lives of two or more people, it would be a happy result... Kiritsugu gave this girl a name and a nationality. He taught her his skills and knowledge. That was the beginning of Hisau Maiya, a person whose final fate had been determined.
Because of this, there was no need to sigh here and feel lost - this was a natural and undoubted end.
But despite this, I don't know why my knees were still shaking. My throat was blocked and my chest was so stuffy that I couldn't breathe.
He picked Maiya up, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her empty eyes wandered around, and then she recognized Kiritsugu's face.
"..."
Not knowing what to say to her, Kiritsugu bit his lips in confusion.
Words of thanks or comfort had no practical effect. If I had to say something meaningful to her at this moment, I would have to tell her the conclusion that "you will die here."
Tell her that you no longer have any mission. There is no need to worry anymore.
If he had simply treated her as a tool, Kiritsugu would have definitely said something like this.
"..."
However, no sound came out of his dry throat. He just stood there blankly, his lips twitching.
Maiya saw Kiritsugu's expression and shook her head gently.
"... No. You can't cry..."
"..."
Until Maiya pointed it out, Kiritsugu didn't realize that the tears were about to overflow from the corners of his eyes.
"You... should save your tears for the lady... If you cry here. No... You are very fragile. If you cry now... Absolutely not..."
"I-"
He must have made some fatal mistake. Kiritsugu felt it painfully until now.
Playing as a tool, and finally thinking that such a fate was acceptable - just like what Emiya Kiritsugu had always done, he always thought that Hisau Maiya was like this.
But to herself like this, she said such words.
Shouldn't she have a different way of living or dying?
"This morning. You finally became the old Kiritsugu again... If you waver because of such a small matter. No way..."
"——"
That's right. It was in this place that he once hugged another different woman and figured out his life path.
A moment of wavering will overturn beliefs.
The right method can achieve miracles that are absolutely impossible to achieve.
He warned himself. Only half a day had passed.
"——Maiya, don't worry."
Kiritsugu stared at Maiya's eyes that were gradually losing their spirit and said in a suppressed voice.
"Everything is left to Saber. Maiya, your mission... is completed."
Although she had lost her usefulness, the device of Emiya Kiritsugu would continue to operate without any obstacles, and Kiritsugu made such a promise to her.
So there was no need to hold on.
There was no need to endure the pain, and there was no need to continue thinking, and everything could be let go.
Hearing this extremely cold declaration, Hisahi Maiya nodded gently.
"Maiya..."
No answer.
Any corrections or denials would not be spoken again. The body lying in Kiritsugu's arms was already cold.
Rider's escape destination was obviously in the direction of Shinto.
Perhaps because he kept jumping from one high place to another, Saber kept seeing Rider's back appearing above the mixed-use apartment and the advertising tower. The reason why he didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts was probably because he completely looked down on Saber's footwork.
In this case, he underestimated the enemy.
As Saber's fighting spirit surged, the two-wheeled beast roared bravely with the throttle valve completely released. The roar of the V-type four-cylinder l400cc engine was like a lion made of steel - like a large carnivore roaring wildly, violently shaking the silence of the night.
Perhaps in order to maximize Saber's riding skills, the motor vehicle prepared by Emiya Kiritsugu was not a four-wheeled one but a two-wheeled one. Compared to sitting on a seat and being restrained by a seat belt, it is easier to control the center of gravity by becoming part of the vehicle body. "Riding" a motorcycle with the body completely exposed to the outside can fully exert the Servant's enhanced skills to the maximum extent.
Of course, as long as it is used by a Servant who is a superhuman existence, it doesn't matter if its performance ignores the limits of ordinary operators. It was originally a body structure plan that seemed to have no practicality and was laughable, but Kiritsugu actually put this design into practice.
The basic body is the most powerful YAMAHA.\nV-MAX. The performance of the l200cc engine, which was originally able to exert its maximum, has been further improved. In addition, the drive system has been comprehensively strengthened, turning it into an alien monster with an output horsepower of 250 horsepower. That is the silver mount that Saber is riding now.
Of course.\n After all kinds of excessive strengthening, as a two-wheeled vehicle, it is no longer possible to expect it to operate normally. The tires cannot produce enough friction with the ground due to excessive torque, and can only rotate continuously. Once the brakes are pressed, the front wheel will jump up, and it may overturn the person riding it.
Saber is perfectly driving this physically uncontrollable monster horse at full speed. The secret of her ability to control this motorcycle so freely lies in her combat skills that she has always been proud of, and the huge power of her magic release. The magic jet bursting from Saber's back drives the crazy body to fly on the road, applying all the horsepower to acceleration.
Rather than using skills, this is closer to using greater strength to subdue a beast. For the short Saber, facing a super-heavy motorcycle with a total weight of more than 300 kilograms, she can only operate it in a thrilling posture. Saber is almost lying on the engine covered by the resin pressure pump, holding the steering wheel while being forced to endure the intense vibration caused by the large displacement. The posture is just like a child desperately lying on the back of a beast.
However, this test is not particularly painful for Saber. The more difficult this steel giant is to tame, the more it stimulates her fighting spirit and excitement.
The feeling when driving a Mercedes-Benz is simply incomparable to the feeling of driving at high speed now. Yes. This feeling is indeed very close to the feeling of riding a horse.
Although she is driving a product of modern technology, her spirit has returned to the nostalgic ancient battlefield - she has restored the soul of a knight who holds a lance and charges into the enemy's formation.
"If it is at this speed, who knows -"
The distance between her and the Rider in front is slowly increasing. This is the difference between a route that jumps between buildings and a route that only drives on the road.
But there is no need to be anxious. It is true that in terms of instantaneous acceleration and maximum speed, the Servant's agility is superior to this V-MAX. But this steel beast can always maintain its speed as long as it has fuel. If it is a long-term pursuit battle, this is a great advantage.
The streets of Miyama Town are a big yoke for the party that drives on the ground. Moreover, the running characteristics of this V-MAX, which has been completely modified in pursuit of extreme acceleration, are no different from those of a car in a straight-line short-distance car drag race, and it has almost no rotation. However, the Servant's superb skills even overturned the theorem of the physical world that "you can't turn when driving at high speed", and this theorem has no meaning in front of them.
Saber has completely mastered the characteristics of the machine. When it is about to turn, not only does she not slow down, but she opens the throttle valve and injects the excess torque into the rear wheels. Just like this, the front wheel floated up due to the rapid acceleration that was so fast that the entire car body was about to fall over. Saber used the instantaneous explosive force of the magic power released to force the car body to tilt, thus completing the change of direction. It was as if the straight-moving direction was reversed with a strong and huge force.
Rider seemed to have crossed the Mion River and entered the new city, and his figure could no longer be seen. However, Saber did not panic, but looked far into the night sky to search for the other party's whereabouts.
Rider must have known that Saber, who was chasing him, would not give up easily. Now he was holding Irisviel and could not hide by turning his body into a spirit. Since the moment he fled to the new city, Rider had only two choices. Either hide and avoid Saber's pursuit, or use the "God of Power Wheel" to instantly increase the distance between him and the pursuer. Judging from Rider's personality, Saber thought he would choose the latter. So even if he couldn't find his figure now, there was no need to worry. Because if it was the flying treasure of the God of Power Wheel, it would release a huge amount of magic power, so it would be impossible for it to escape from Saber's eyes.
"The key is that it is not easy to track from the ground--"
It would be better to simply guess the destination of the "God of Power Wheel" based on its flight direction as soon as it appears, and then reach that place first. Rather than a competition of control skills, it is more like a test of the sensitivity and tracking skills of the tracker.
All the people on the road were looking at the V-MAX at an astonishing speed, constantly surpassing the vehicles in front. Saber didn't care about the sight of the people around her at all, and focused all her attention on the enemy above her head. Through the direction of the air flow, she can sense obstacles that hinder her progress. Even with her eyes closed, she doesn't have to worry about hitting anything.
"--Found it!"
Saber's spiritual power, which is close to the vision of a beast, sensed the fluctuations of magic power in the air. As if to avoid the attention of ordinary people, the "God of Power Wheel" did not make a thunderous sound and its speed slowed down. But there is no doubt that the feeling is the magic power oscillation caused by Rider's treasure.
The direction is east. It seems that it intends to escape to the outside of Fuyuki City through Shinto.
Saber believes that the other party is lucky. In this case, I will make full use of the wide national highway to fully utilize the acceleration of the machine.
After jumping over the bridge in one breath, I came to the six-lane road. Saber opened the throttle more boldly and drove the V-MAX forward.
Due to the driving of this unscrupulous driver, the needle of the tachometer has exceeded 6,000 revolutions - at that moment, the engine made an unexpected sound.
The engine's raging bass suddenly turned into a deafening and fierce high pitch, the sound was even more violent, violently tearing the silence of the night sky. The current acceleration is completely different from before.
The flying speed made Saber and the car body become catapulted projectiles, and the surrounding night scene slid by like a meteor.
That was the moment when the real magic power hidden inside the steel beast awakened. Using modern high-tech design, the structure of the V-shaped propulsion device... When reaching the high-speed rotation limit, the four-cylinder engine structure can immediately become a two-cylinder structure, and the intake volume is instantly increased to a large extent to obtain the extreme acceleration. This is the special structure of the V-MAX. Originally, a device with two turbochargers could not have such a structure, but this design has completely transcended the scope of motorcycles.
Saber desperately grasped the body of the car while enduring the air resistance close to water pressure, and couldn't help showing an invincible smile.
This car has obviously surpassed the basic principle of machines, that is, the scope of "human tools". This is a freak born of advanced modern technology. That kind of loneliness and sadness.\nEven people feel a kind of empathy beyond sympathy.
Only non-human Servant can make this machine fully play its value. This car must have been born to let Saber drive it tonight.
