Paradise: Ready Player One

Because the "Holy Grail War" has not officially started, the two have been living in an ordinary apartment.

In daily contact, the relationship between the two of them warmed up quickly.

On the other side, Ryunosuke Yusheng, a good young man who enjoys life seriously, accidentally found a document about summoning "demons" in the warehouse of his hometown not long ago, and became very interested.

With the attitude of giving it a try, Ryunosuke Yusheng used the blood of the victim to draw a magic circle.

This is not the first time he has done this, the movements are very skillful, and he quickly portrayed the completed magic circle.

Although it is with feet, it is definitely better than most people's hands.

“Really beautiful pattern”

Looking at his own work, Usheng Ryunosuke couldn't help sighing.

Opening the ancient book in his hand, he chanted incantations at will.

"full full full full full"

"..."

Even though he hadn't finished chanting the spell completely, the summoning ceremony was accidentally triggered.

After a burst of pain in his right hand, Ryunosuke Yusheng unexpectedly discovered that a tattoo-like pattern was engraved on the back of his hand at some point.

And the magic circle that was drawn was emitting a faint phosphorescent light.

Ryunosuke Yusheng stared at what was happening in front of him with unbelievable eyes.

It seems that the magic of summoning "demons" recorded in ancient books is not a simple prank as he originally thought.

"Interesting, very interesting, maybe demons really exist... If so, I wonder if the legendary demons can hide my curiosity... What is death?" jj.br>

Not only did Ryunosuke Yusheng not feel scared, but he seemed very excited.

This guy's viciousness is the same as Kotomine Kirei's, they are all innate.

It's just that the former has never been as deeply rooted in the existing moral concepts as the latter, so Ryunosuke Yusheng has no hesitation or scruples about satisfying his own desires.

In order to satisfy his strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge about death, Ryunosuke Yusheng tried to kill in various ways.

So far, more than forty people have been killed, and the methods are extremely cruel.

But I have to say that in terms of crime, this guy does have an outstanding talent, relying on self-study, he has mastered various methods of hiding evidence and disrupting searches.

In addition, when he is not killing people, Ryunosuke Usheng looks like a lively, cheerful, and delicate young man.

So far, he has not been included in the suspect list by the police.

The phosphorescence dissipated and the fog receded.

A slender man wearing a large robe decorated with various luxurious precious metals appeared in Ryunosuke Yusheng's sight.

This man has a youthful appearance, smooth skin, and one can tell that he is a pampered person.

What attracts the most attention is the pair of smart and big eyes, coupled with the unusually wide eye distance, which makes people unconsciously think of a protruding ornamental fish.

This is Caster in this year's "Holy Grail War". His real name is Gilles de Rais, a famous dark wizard in European history, and the prototype of the villain "Bluebeard" in the call story.

Let's call him Bluebeard from now on, anyway, he himself quite agrees with this title.

Under Yusheng Ryunosuke's astonished eyes.

From time to time, a sentence or two of unclear meaning came out of this strange-looking man's mouth.

What aster" and what "summoner" are completely incomprehensible to Ryunosuke Yusheng who has never been exposed to magic.

In the end, he also understood one sentence.

"Please tell me your name and who you are?"

"That... My name is Ryunosuke Yusheng, a freelancer, hobbies are all methods of killing, I like children and young women"

Ryunosuke Yusheng didn't seem to be frightened by what happened in front of him, but said very cooperatively.

"Very good, the contract is established!"

Blue Beard closed the magic book in his hand, and initially recognized this young man as his Master.

Thus, this year's best and most "evil" pairing was born.

Then there's the last entry left.

In the sewer of Fuyuki City, Matou Kariya curled up on the ground. Since that day, he has been extremely repelled by the sun, and can only hide in the shadows all day long.

Matou Zouken's obsession not only twisted Matou Kariya's spirit, but also subtly affected his body.

It even started to make Matou Kariya hallucinate, as if Matou Zouken was right behind him.

"How on earth do you want to let me go... that's enough... I'll bring you the Holy Grail!"

Matou Kariya shouted with a frenzied expression, and directly raised his arm.Catch the gravel and cut the vein, and used his own blood to depict the magic circle in his mind.

Chapter 267

Tosaka Tokiomi originally planned to let Kotomine Kirei arrange for Assassin to attack him, so as to fake the illusion of Assassin's death and the split between master and apprentice. jj.br>

In this way, Kotomine Kirei can hide in the dark, monitor and find opportunities to eliminate other Masters.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

I thought it was just an ordinary probing behavior, but in the end it ran into the iron plate of Chen Ming and completely disrupted the original plan.

Although he obtained important intelligence information, in order not to expose the ability of Assassin's clone and to continue the original plan, Kotomine Kirei could only temporarily take Assassin offline.

Claiming to the outside world that the servants disappeared and the rights of his own lord were invalidated, he took the opportunity to seek the protection of the Holy Church.

This is indeed one of the rules of the "Holy Grail War".

It's just that Tosaka Tokiomi should have fired the first shot in the "Holy Grail War", but now it was Chen Ming.

It's a pity that the confrontation happened too suddenly and ended too quickly. Few people knew the specific battle process.

Many masters are skeptical about Assassin's death.

Now that the seven servants have all been summoned, Kenneth no longer needs to pretend anymore, and took his fiancée on the flight to the clock tower.

No one could have imagined that this candidate who was once one of the most powerful contenders in the "Holy Grail War" would leave the field so easily, and everyone was deceived by him.

But what these people don't know is that this is actually the best ending for Kenneth.

Before leaving, Kenneth did not forget to send Chen Ming a wedding invitation.

The approximate content is

If Chen Ming can live until the end of the "Holy Grail War", he doesn't mind this guy being his best man.

Looking at the ostentatious text on the invitation, Chen Ming let out a displeased "tsk", then put the invitation away, and waited until next year to see how he would deal with this embarrassing guy.

In addition, Kenneth also told Chen Ming the latest news.

As one of the "three royal families", the master of the Einzbern family--Irisviel.

This morning, I arrived in Fuyuki City by plane.

As for Emiya Kiritsugu whom Chen Ming asked Kenneth to pay attention to, he disappeared after leaving Einzbern Castle, and he could not be found no matter what.

But one thing is certain, the other party must have arrived in Fuyuki City.

From the looks of it, although this "Magician Killer" has been silent for many years in Wenrou Township, his eating skills don't seem to be very unfamiliar.

"What's next, ster"

Scathach asked, since she promised that this "Holy Grail War" will be dominated by Chen Ming, then she will do what she says.

In terms of controlling the servants, Chen Ming is already far ahead of the other masters.

"Let me think"

Chen Ming tapped his index finger on the table. Because of his appearance, the direction of the plot has already deviated from the original track, and the memory of the past can only serve as a reference now.

what to do next

To take the initiative to attack, or to sit on the sidelines.

The choice is in Chen Ming's hands.

Although he exposed part of his strength with his previous shots, for the other masters, Tohsaka Tokiomi is the first target to keep an eye on.

Except for this guy, most of the other Masters are foreign magicians.

Fuyuki City is so big, as long as you have the heart, it is easy to hide it.

But Tosaka Tokiomi is different. His family business is in Fuyuki City, and he can't give it up no matter what. In addition, he is the manager of the local spiritual veins, and he is also one of the "three royal families", occupying an absolute home court advantage.

Any master who is determined to compete for the Holy Grail will regard it as an enemy.

Tohsaka Tokiomi was like a target on the table.

That's why in the original plot, he staged the scene of the master-apprentice breaking up.

In addition to letting Assassin go offline, secretly collecting intelligence, and waiting for an opportunistic assassination.

On the other hand, it is also to show strength to other masters, so that opponents have scruples.

Avoid being the first to be targeted.

It's just that the appearance of Chen Ming disrupted Tohsaka Tokichen's original plan and made him fall into a passive state.

According to the information collected by Assassin so far, there are still three Master's familiars staring at him all the time.

What bothered Tohsaka Tokiomi the most was that the servants he summoned had a rebellious personality, and it was impossible for them to obey orders, and because of the characteristics of their ranks, they also had the ability to act independently.

Now, apart from the three "Command Spells", he has no way to restrain the opponent at all.

Every day, I can only try my best to please, but I can't get Gilgamesh's approval, and the other party still goes its own way.

This exhausted Tohsaka Tokiomi, without the protection of his followers, he could only curl up in his own mansion, not daring to show up easily.

Fortunately, there is Kotomine Kirei's Assassin as eyes and ears, collecting information for Tosaka Tokiomi.

And Chen Ming didn't have so many worries. After fighting Kotomine Kirei once, he left Beigong's house. It was impossible for others to lock his position.

Assassin can stare at other masters, but he can't stare at Chen Ming, and he doesn't even dare to approach easily.

If you simply want to win the "Holy Grail War", then the easiest way for Chen Ming is to just hang on, and wait until the masters fight to the death before appearing on the stage to end.
