Chapter 459 Black Alice's Death Relief and the Trolley Problem (Original)
"…Tonight is the finale of Fate Zero."

A colleague who worked with him said to Zhou Wenwei, "Fortunately, we don't have to work overtime tomorrow. We can watch anime and play games in the evening."

"That's right, I really have to thank Brother Tian a lot."

Zhou Wenwei said thankfully, "If it weren't for Brother Tian's help, I might have to work overtime tomorrow to catch up on the project."

Although the overtime pay in this parallel world is high, they are obviously unwilling to sacrifice their personal time to work overtime.

Fortunately, a senior technical executive in the department known as "Brother Tian" stepped in and saved us from having to finish the project on weekends.

Zhou Wenwei also chatted with his colleagues and then went to pick up Ke Xinjie after get off work.

The life of ordinary people is so plain and happy.

After Zhou Wenwei and Ke Xinjie came home from get off work and cooked together, they ate together.

Then they all went to read their own comics and play their own games.

After the honeymoon period, although the feelings have not faded, they no longer deliberately stay together, but live together more normally.

Just because they have the same hobby, before midnight, they sat on the sofa in the living room again and watched the latest episode of "Fate Zero" together.

"Tonight is the finale..."

Zhou Wenwei couldn't help but say with some emotion, "I've finished watching another anime."

The main reason is that he thinks "Fate Zero" is better than other anime series, even compared to other anime series with Lin Qingshan as the original work.

Except for Chainsaw Man.

In fact, this is indeed the case, especially since Lin Qingshan regards "Fate Zero" as the origin of the Fate series.

This is just like the previous "Edgewalker" as the origin of cyberpunk works, although it is not as famous as the founder of cyberpunk.

However, as the origin of the Fate series, "Fate Zero" will have a better reputation.

Moreover, "Fate Zero" itself is a very famous masterpiece of Genji, so it is also very interesting.

So Zhou Wenwei was actually a little reluctant.

but……

"What finale? Fate Zero hasn't had its finale tonight, okay?"

Ke Xinjie suddenly said something strange.

"what?"

Zhou Wenwei's eyes widened, and then he asked, "Isn't this the 24th episode? It's the finale, right? Don't half-year series always end with 24 episodes?"

"Probably not. The official website said that it seems to be the finale in episode 25."

Ke Xinjie thought for a moment and said, "I guess there will be one more episode to lay the groundwork before the final showdown in episode 25."

"So that's how it is... But again, it's not a good ending if it's too hasty."

Zhou Wenwei looked at the time again and said immediately, "It's twelve o'clock! It's updated!"

He immediately picked up the remote control, clicked into the "Fate Zero" interface, and then saw the updated 24th episode.

"Fate Zero" Episode 24, click to play!

Zhou Wenwei and Ke Xinjie immediately focused on watching the anime series.

In the previous episode, the emperor died in battle, but the "semi-final" on the other side, where Saber battled Lancelot, whose true identity was completely exposed, has not yet been decided.

Just as the audience was looking forward to the battle between Saber and Lancelot.

At the beginning of this episode, Saber's Master Kiritsugu and Gilgamesh's current Master Kotomine Kirei are confronting each other!
The two men each held a different weapon, and were about to fight!
But at this moment, the opening credits came on.

But it doesn’t matter, C station’s built-in function of skipping the opening and ending credits will help!
Sure enough, the opening credits only lit up for a moment and then were skipped, and then the show finally switched back to the part of the heroic duel that everyone was looking forward to the most.

However, Saber was hesitant to take ruthless action because the opponent was her former best friend Lancelot.

Instead, it was the mad Lancelot who was suppressing her and beating her.

At the same time, the scene switches to Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei.

Although Kiritsugu used a gun.

Seven steps away, the gun is fast.

Within seven steps, the gun was accurate and fast.

But that is equivalent to the ordinary world without magic.

The world set in "Fate Zero" has magic and sorcery. Kotomine Kirei uses black keys and Bajiquan as means of attack, and Kiritsugu is at a disadvantage for a while.

On the Heroic Spirit side, Saber was suppressed and beaten by Lancelot due to psychological reasons.

On the Master's side, Kiritsugu was also suppressed by Kotomine Kirei.

It looks like they, as the main camp, are going to be defeated.

However, Kiritsugu used his inherent time system and origin bullet, as well as his excellent experience as a killer, to directly turn the tables.

Then, facing Kotomine Kirei who was rushing towards him, he was about to pull the trigger.

This way... Kiritsugu will win.

Without his Master, Gilgamesh would die no matter how strong he was.

But at this moment...

For some unknown reason, the Holy Grail that Kiritsugu’s wife Airi had transformed into and placed on the long table above their heads began to spill out countless blood-like liquids out of thin air.

It even... spread beyond the Holy Grail, flooding the entire auditorium like a bloody torrent.

Then, when Kiritsugu was about to pull the trigger and kill Kotomine Kirei.

The ceiling above them suddenly exploded, and a blood-like liquid flooded them!
because……

the other side.

In the dark corner, the man named Kariya, who was in so much pain that made people feel pitiful and distressed, had completely lost the color in his eyes.

Then he fell down helplessly.

“Kareya… just died like that?”

Ke Xinjie was a little confused, and then felt very uncomfortable.

The reputation of each character in "Fate Zero" can be said to be not one-sided. Many characters are liked by some people and hated by others.

Just like Gilgamesh, even if most of the audience hates this character, there are still some people who like this character.

I like how powerful he is, and I also like his sympathy for the kings of Emperor Iskandar.

Even the two protagonists on the protagonist camp, Saber and Kiritsugu.

Everyone has likes and dislikes.

For example, some people think that the emperor’s evaluation of Saber is correct, she is too idealistic and too saintly.

That's why she caused the destruction of the Kingdom of Camelot.

However, people who like Saber think that Saber, the Holy King, is right. Although the ending is not very good, you cannot blame a good person like that.

Should good people be held at gunpoint?
It doesn't make sense.

As for Kiritsugu, that goes without saying.

Ever since Kiritsugu planned to kill Zhao Yun and Kayneth, his reputation has been completely polarized.

Some people think that his realistic and unscrupulous ideal style is correct, and that reality is not so noble and honorable.

In particular, his starting point was good. He wanted to use the Holy Grail to achieve world peace, not out of selfishness.

But at the same time, some people feel that no matter what his starting point is, his behavior is despicable and dirty and he should be despised.

Therefore, the characters in "Fate Zero" basically have two sides.

The only thing that everyone thinks about the character of Kariya is that he is very miserable.

People like Ke Xinjie, who are more soft-hearted, were extremely sad at this moment.

At this time, Zhou Wenwei comforted his girlfriend a little, and then said with emotion, "But... maybe it would be a relief for him if Yan Ye died like this."

“Yes… Death is already a relief for Kariya.”

Ke Xinjie thought about it for a moment and said, After all, since Kariya killed his beloved Shikui with his own hands, there has been no possibility for him to be saved.

At the same time, the winner of the match between Saber and Lancelot was decided immediately.

It’s just…it wasn’t because of Kariya’s death that Lancelot lost his magic supply and died.

But...

Saber finally picked up the Sword of Promised Victory and pierced... Lancelot's heart.

All the light in her eyes had gone, and she said numbly, "Even so, I want to get the Holy Grail."

"If I don't do this, there's no way I can make it up to you."

The tragedy of Lancelot and the Kingdom of Camelot was all because of her, so that's why.

She became more determined to obtain the Holy Grail, and then made a wish to the Holy Grail to change the beginning of all this tragedy.

As long as...she doesn't become King Arthur of Camelot, everything can be rewritten.

The tragedy of Camelot, the tragedy of Lancelot, the tragedy of Guinevere...they can all be saved!

however……

Lancelot fell weakly on Saber, but he suddenly regained his composure and said, "At this point... are you still raising your sword for this reason?"

"What a headache this person is..."

He actually had no intention of taking revenge on Saber. He participated in the Holy Grail War this time just to get punishment from Saber.

He believed that he was largely responsible for Britain's tragedy. If he had not fallen in love with Queen Guinevere, Saber's dignity as a king would not have been compromised.

Mordred's Rebellion would not have happened.

So he hoped that Saber would avenge him as a punisher, and he could be saved spiritually.

And this time, he finally got what he wanted and died under Saber's holy sword.

But... Saber felt even more distressed by this.

She also became more determined to seize the Holy Grail and change everything.

When the audience saw this plot, they were all moved.

"Isn't it possible that all of Ancient Britain are twisted Saber fans?"

Ke Xinjie said with some confusion, "I thought Lancelot came here for revenge, but I didn't expect... he felt sorry for Saber and wanted to seek his own death."

"As a Holy King, Saber is more difficult to approach, not as approachable as the Emperor."

Zhou Wenwei felt the same way and said, "But it must be admired by the subordinates."

If such a saint who is consistent in appearance and heart really appeared in reality, perhaps everyone would find it difficult to approach such a saint, but they would definitely admire such a person from the bottom of their hearts.

And after the story between Saber and Lancelot was over.

But the scene changed...

It became Kiritsugu and... Airi on the beach of an island.

Ellie?

Isn't Ellie dead?
And wasn’t Kiritsugu still fighting with Kotomine Kirei just now?

Even though it was submerged in the "holy water" of the Holy Grail, it is impossible for it to appear on an island, right?
wrong……

"This is the island Kiritsugu remembers from his childhood, right?"

Zhou Wenwei saw it and said.

"So this is another hallucination or something."

Ke Xinjie also understood it very well and said, "Teacher Qingshan really likes to use illusion as a performance technique..."

"That's... After all, mentally ill people should be familiar with what hallucinations are like."

Zhou Wenwei complained with a smile.

In the animation, Airi suddenly appeared beside Kiritsugu and said with a smile, "This is the place where your wish can be fulfilled. It is the inside of the Holy Grail you are looking for."

It was raining black rain, but Kiritsugu saw a black sun in the sky.

"That is the Holy Grail, though it has not yet taken shape."

Ellie continued, "But the container has been filled. All we have to do now is make a wish to it. Only by doing so can it descend into the outside world."

"So, please, quickly give it a form."

The black sun was trembling strangely and spinning continuously like a black hole.

And Airi continued, "Kiritsugu, only you are qualified to define its form."

However, Kiritsugu looked at this "Eri" expressionlessly and asked, "You are...what?"

The Ellie he knew would not say such a thing, and as the container of the Holy Grail, Ellie should be dead now.

"I'm Irisviel."

However, "Ellie" said this to him.

"No, if the Holy Grail is about to be completed now, then she has already..."

Kiritsugu raised the pistol in his hand and said, "Answer me!"

Immediately, "Ellie" admitted the incident, but she still said that she was also Ellie, and also the Holy Grail itself.

She knew everything about Airi's personality and memories, so she also knew what Kiritsugu's wish was.

So Black Airi began to persuade Kiritsugu to make a wish.

"Impossible! Then let me ask you!"

Kiritsugu still didn't believe it and asked directly, "How can the Holy Grail fulfill my wish?"

“That’s a question…Kiritsugu.”

Dark Ellie looked back at him and said, "Shouldn't you know this better than anyone else?"

"What did you say?"

"Don't you already know how to save the world?"

However, Kuroi stepped forward and hugged Kiritsugu, looking at him and saying, "So, I will use what you have always done, inherit your principles, and fulfill your wish."

"what are you saying?"

Kiritsugu asked in confusion.

"There is really no way..."

Hei Ai Li smiled gently and said, "The next question can only be answered from your heart..."

Then the scene changed again, and Kiritsugu turned around and found himself in a hotel room.

Just when he was at a loss.

The TV in the room began to make sound, and two ships sailing on the sea appeared on the screen.

"There were 300 people on one ship and 200 people on another ship..."

"what?"

Kiritsugu looked at the TV.

Yet the TV continued to play—

"There are 500 crew and passengers in total, plus Kiritsugu Mame."

"Assume that these 501 people are the only humans left in the world, and both ships have a large hole in their bottoms that will cause them to sink..."

“Kiritsugu is the only one who knows how to repair a ship…”

"So which ship would you choose to repair?"

……

Seeing this, Zhou Wenwei immediately exclaimed, "Wow! This is the trolley problem!"
