He murmured, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.
"What a perfect combination!"
Chapter 413 Loneliness
In the corner, Wutori Kirie was curled up in a chair, pale as a ghost.
Her gaze passed through Shiraishi River and looked towards a certain place in the void, as if there was the boundless sky she had been searching for.
Shiraishikawa noticed her gaze and suddenly asked.
Do you know why humans always look up at the sky?
Wujiang Wue slowly shook her head, her long hair swaying gently beside her cheek.
"Because that's a place we can never truly reach."
Shiraishi Kawa turned and walked towards her, fiddling with the CD in his hand.
"Just like happiness, it seems so close, but in reality, it's far beyond our reach."
He stopped in front of Wutiao Wuhui and bent down to look her in the eye.
"But I am different. I will hold the sky in my hands and trample heaven under my feet."
A barely perceptible light shone in Wujiang Kirie's eyes.
Even so... you will still feel lonely.
Shiraishi's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal.
"Loneliness is the privilege of the strong."
He straightened up.
"Rest now, we'll begin the first ceremony tomorrow."
The next day
Under the dim streetlights, Ryougi Shiki leaned against a telephone pole, her moon-white kimono swaying gently in the breeze.
Her eyes, as deep as an abyss, were fixed on her watch; the hands had already pointed to half an hour after the agreed time.
"That bastard..."
She cursed under her breath, her fingers unconsciously tracing the dagger at her waist.
Just then, light footsteps came from the shadows.
"Hey, getting impatient?"
Shiraishikawa emerged from the darkness with that infuriating smile on his face.
Ryougi Shiki turned around abruptly, the hem of her dress drawing a sharp arc.
Do you know what time it is?
she said through gritted teeth.
"He's not going to flirt with some girl again, is he?"
Shiraishi Kawa clutched his chest.
"I'm innocent, Miss Shi. I was just preparing some small gifts."
He shook the black leather suitcase in his hand, then pointed to the gloomy apartment building not far away.
"As for you, your killing intent is practically overflowing. You haven't already stormed in and started causing chaos, have you?"
"Hmph, I won the competition."
Ryougi Shiki turned her face away, but the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
"As agreed... that... reward..."
Shiraishi Kawa leaned closer with a wicked grin.
"Want a reward? Just say so!"
"Shut up!"
Ryougi Shiki, enraged, threw a punch, but Shiraishi Kawa easily dodged it. The next second, she landed in a warm embrace.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Shiraishi's voice suddenly softened as he gently stroked her back.
"Leave it to me next."
Ryougi Shiki's tense body gradually relaxed, but she quickly pushed him away again.
"Don't think you can get away with this."
She turned toward the apartment, her eyes sharpening once more.
"That barrier...something's really wrong."
Shiraishi's expression also turned serious.
"Araya Sōren has merged himself with the barrier."
This apartment is now his body, his domain.
"What do you mean?"
"To put it simply..."
Shiraishikawa snapped his fingers, and a semi-transparent apartment model appeared in the air.
"He has taken the ultimate secret of magic—the barrier technique of interference—to its extreme. The entire apartment has become an independent otherworld, which even the restraining force cannot interfere with."
The model's interior features blood-red veins, like the blood vessels of a living creature.
Ryougi Shiki frowned.
"In other words, if we go straight in..."
"It's like jumping into the enemy's stomach."
Shiraishikawa nodded.
"He will have an absolute advantage and may even be able to rewrite some of the laws of physics."
Ryougi Shiki gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.
"What can we do then? We can't just wait outside."
Shiraishikawa gave a mysterious smile.
"No matter how perfect the barrier is, it cannot change the fact that it is essentially a division between the inside and the outside."
He raised his right hand, and space began to distort.
"Since we can't break through from within, let's use the purest external force to destroy its foundation!"
Pink light gathered in his palm, gradually forming a cat-shaped creature covered with cracks.
It stretched lazily, and golden liquid seeped from the cracks.
"This is... your double?"
Ryougi Shiki stared in astonishment at the strange creature.
"Hmm, it's called Broken Paradise."
Shiraishikawa gently stroked the head of the cat-shaped stand.
"Ready to cause a ruckus, buddy?"
The stand-in made a gurgling sound, and the golden light within the cracks grew stronger.
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the apartment, within an alternate dimension, Araya Sōren opened his eyes.
Chapter 414 Prime Numbers are the Most Beautiful Numbers
His body floated in mid-air, connected to the entire space by countless black threads.
"Kirei Kotomine".
His voice was like sandpaper being rubbed.
"At such a critical moment, aren't you going to distance yourself from this?"
A tall figure emerged from the shadows, Yan Fengqi said, "Is it easy?" Ling Si Liu Baba Li played with the dagger in his hand.
"What exactly are you pursuing, Araya?"
Araya Sōren's eyes were filled with disgust.
“I hate humanity. Not because of their evil, but because I cannot save everyone.”
The black silk thread trembled violently.
"But if we can unlock the root of the problem and bring an end to the world... then recording death at the end, witnessing death, will re-evaluate the value of those who did not receive any reward."
Kirei Kotomine suddenly laughed.
"What a lofty ideal. But in the end, what you yearn for is nothing more than the enlightened one and the 26 rules of eternal happiness."
It doesn't matter if you don't understand.
Araya Sōren raised her hand, and black threads, like venomous snakes, attacked Kotomine.
"Since you won't help me, then become nourishment."
Kirei Kotomine calmly took a step back.
"Do you know that your actions will only hasten his journey to heaven?"
Araya Sōren's movements suddenly stopped.
"You... betrayed me?"
"Prime numbers are the most beautiful numbers."
Kirei Kotomine began reciting.
“2、3、5、7、11。。。”
