At this moment, when everyone was still unsatisfied, the final easter egg of the Spiral of Contradiction began to be shown.
Chapter 227: The spiral of contradictions ends! (I)
Chapter 227
The scene of the movie switched after the story of Araya Soren ended, and the audience's perspective suddenly came to a very quiet cafe.
The light inside the cafe is distinct in color, with white sunlight and black shadows seemingly having a clear dividing line, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Ryougi Shiki sat quietly in one of the seats.
And Tiaoba walked in from the other end of the cafe and sat down in a seat behind the girl.
The two seemed not to notice each other and just waited calmly.
After a long time, Ryougi Shiki suddenly stood up. She saw a man waving outside the window, panting and waving.
At the same time, in the direction that Qian Tiaoba was looking at, a woman in a white dress was also waving at him.
The two of them slowly stood up and walked towards different exits of the cafe.
As they were about to leave, Ryougi Shiki and Kujoba turned around at the same time and looked at each other as if they were old friends saying goodbye.
“Ding Dong.”
The next moment, the doorbell rang.
Ryougi Shiki opened her eyes and slowly got up from the bed, only then did she realize that she had been dreaming.
At the same time, the doorbell kept ringing, but Ryougi Shiki, who was sulking for no reason, had no intention of opening the door.
However, what she didn't expect was that with a "click" sound of unlocking, the door of the room was actually opened from the outside.
"Excuse me... Shiki, you're already up!"
The familiar black-haired man, Kurodori Kan'aya, walked in with a smile, but was met with Ryougi Shiki's cold stare.
Seeing this, Kurotogi Kanya couldn't help but said in confusion:
"Why, what bad ideas are you thinking of? I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'm not giving this to you!"
"You illegal intruder, who wants to steal that kind of thing from you!"
"That's great. I can finally have a peaceful breakfast today. Have you changed your habit of always wanting to take other people's things?"
"Shiki..."
"what?"
"Yeah. It's about that apartment building. I heard from Orange that it seems to be demolished."
"—Is that so? But won't there be a lot of problems? Like the tenants."
"Then there's no need to worry. They have a rule that magicians' problems must be solved by magicians, so the association sent people to take care of everything. The fictitious residents also moved out as fictitious residents, and the underground was burned down. Everything was made as if it didn't exist."
“That’s fast.”
"But now, the whole thing is over. You should start to study seriously from now on. If you don't level up and graduate, Mr. Qiu Long will be sad."
"That and this are two different things! Anyway, it's because you're involved with people like Orange that you got into trouble. Besides, you've dropped out of school, so what right do you have to say anything about studying?"
"To say something like you have no rights is despicable."
In response to Kuroto Mikiya's distressed look, Ryougi Shiki suddenly muttered in a low voice:
"—Hey, Kurogiri."
"Um?"
"key."
"What?"
"Isn't it unfair that I don't have a key to your room?"
As she said this, Ryougi Shiki blushed and lowered her head, then stretched out her hand like a child.
The next moment, as the ending song sounded, the fifth episode of "Kara no Kyoukai" Spiral of Contradiction finally ended!
…
The beautiful ending song played slowly. In the numerous TV bars in the South, the audience watched the movie with great interest. After a long while, they could not help but start talking about the content of the movie.
"I really didn't expect that the fifth episode of "Kara no Kyoukai" would be so long. If I had known, I wouldn't have drunk so much. I even went to the bathroom twice during the screening."
"So what's wrong with you? I managed to hold it in until the end of the show!"
"You also..."
"In short, this part of The Garden of Sinners is really wonderful. It can be said to be the most wonderful chapter in The Garden of Sinners so far. Whether it is the overall quality, the fighting scenes, or the most basic details, it is too perfect!"
"Yeah, yeah, I really didn't expect that "Kara no Kyoukai" could have such cool fighting scenes. I always thought it was just a low-budget supernatural movie. Director Dooling is still Director Dooling after all."
"That's right. And it's not just the graphics. The connotation of this spiral of contradictions is much deeper than the previous ones. The number of characters portrayed is also far more than any previous Kara no Kyoukai. Only Fate Zero can be compared with it."
"Yes, and the battles between magicians described in it are even more exciting than those in Fate Zero. Aozaki Touko, Araya Soren, and even Ryougi Shiki himself would not be weaklings in Fate Zero. They might even be able to fight against Heroic Spirits."
"Hey, I won't be sleepy if you talk about fighting power!"
"Stop. Let's fight for the combat power later. Right now I just want to know one question, which is whether Araya Souren died in the end. Although it seems that he is dead, according to Aozaki Touko, he seems to be resurrected after a long time."
"I noticed this, too. To be honest, Araya Sōren is a very powerful magus. If it weren't for the monstrous Aozaki Touko, he would be a real monster. It would be ridiculous if he didn't completely perish after taking the fatal blow from the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception."
"And there's something else that's very strange. Araya Soren said, 'Finally I see you, Ryougi.' What does this mean? Hasn't he always seen Ryougi Shiki? Why would he say something like that?"
"Why do you care about this? Shouldn't the one who should really care about this be Ryougi Shiki? That last scene is too sweet. To be honest, seeing a girl like Ryougi Shiki being shy is much more lethal than an ordinary girl. I am so envious of Kuroto Mikiya."
"Ahem, I have something to say about this. Everyone, listen to me and make an announcement. Sister Shi is my wife!"
"Fuck you, get out!"
"That's right, Ryougi Shiki is my wife!"
"… "
After a lot of chaos, the people in the TV bar finally dispersed gradually. After all, the screening time of "Kara no Kyoukai" was in the evening, and after watching the two-hour movie, most people had to hurry home.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial School of Magic, the impact of the film's end has just begun...
Chapter 228: The spiral of contradictions ends! (Part 2)
Chapter 228
Imperial School of Magic.
Seeing the ending song slowly playing, the magicians were stunned for a moment, and it took them a long time before they could not help but start discussing.
After all, from the battle between Ryougi Shiki and Araya Souren to the end of the film, the concepts presented in the spiral of contradictions in the fifth episode of "Kara no Kyoukai" are beyond the imagination of magicians, and there are too many things worth discussing.
"I never thought that Ryougi Shiki would defeat Araya Souren in this way."
"Yes, in a sense, Ryougi Shiki herself was saved by Araya Souren. This is what Araya Souren calls karma."
"By the way, what exactly is the restraining force that Araya Soren and Aozaki Touko are talking about? It sounds very powerful, but it seems that such a concept has never appeared in the entire "Kara no Kyoukai"."
"Didn't you hear what Aozaki Touko said at the end? The deepest level of all human consciousness is connected to the same lake. The collective unconscious composed of human subconsciousness will spontaneously eliminate those dangerous factors when humans are in crisis. So from the beginning, the concept of restraint probably took effect. Whether it is Nakajo Tomoka, Ryougi Shiki, or Kuroto Mikiya and Aozaki Touko, they are probably a manifestation of restraint."
"Is that so? When Aozaki Touko talked about the restraining force, it seemed that she didn't just talk about the restraining force of humans. She seemed to say that the planet itself also has the restraining force."
"Planet? This concept is really advanced. In fact, it was only a few hundred years ago that the imperial magicians determined that the world we live in is a planet. When the first great sage of astrology appeared, his theory shocked almost all the magicians at that time..."
"Yes, after all, who would have thought that the ground under our feet is not flat, but a huge sphere?"
"By the way, Aozaki Touko actually believes that the planet itself has a restraining force? But how can a planet have its own consciousness?"
"I don't know. After all, these things are just the settings of Kara no Kyoukai. This kind of magical restraining power may not exist in our world."
"Yes, after all, our world is not just populated by humans, there are also various other races. If the concept of restraining force is the power to prevent the destruction of a race, then every race probably has its own restraining force."
"I do have some ideas about this. After all, The World of Kara once used the word primates to replace humans. If primates refer to all intelligent creatures with self-awareness, then the restraining force in our world will probably be a force that covers all races in order to ensure the continuation of all races."
"This is ridiculous. If there is such a thing, there shouldn't be wars between races."
"That's not true. In the worldview of Kara no Kyoukai, don't humans also go to war with each other? Since the collective unconscious is a subconscious force, it naturally won't affect subjective will. It will only have an impact when certain conditions are met. Its biggest enemy is the magician, because the magician is the factor that is most likely to cause the extinction of the entire race."
"In that case, if there is a primate restraining force in our world, then who is the enemy of this restraining force?"
"this… "
At this point in the conversation, most of the magicians were stunned. It was obvious that they had thought of something, but they did not dare to say the answer.
Therefore, soon with another round of discussion, this topic was quickly overshadowed by the discussion about the heroine Ryougi Shiki.
"Honestly, was it really Ryougi Shiki who defeated Araya Souren in the end? I feel like something is wrong."
"I think so too. I always feel that the two yin and yang in that state are obviously not in a normal state."
"But Ryougi Shiki only has two personalities. Ryougi Ori is already dead, and only Ryougi Shiki's own personality is left. How could it be possible for it to become someone else?"
"Do you remember the beginning of the murder investigation? It was a snowy night when Kuroto Mikiya met Ryougi Shiki for the first time. The two of them must have met each other at that time, but when they entered school the next day, neither Ryougi Shiki nor Ryougi Shiki recognized Kuroto Mikiya. I thought this question was very strange at the time, but I never said it out loud. Now I think it's really very strange."
"This... Are you saying that there is a third personality inside Ryougi Shiki?"
"That's unlikely..."
Most magicians could not accept this conclusion, even the magician who proposed this idea could not accept it.
Therefore, the discussion on this issue ultimately ended in vain, and most magicians eventually gave up on deeper discussions and turned their attention to the relationship between Ryougi Shiki and Kuroto Mikiya.
In a sense, although "Kara no Kyoukai" cannot be considered a romance anime, due to the huge contrast brought about by its main plot, its only small part of daily love life is actually very eye-catching.
The vast majority of the audience were deeply intoxicated by the love expressed unintentionally by Ryougi Shiki and Kuroto Kirei. In one word, I love this couple so much!
Of course, there is also a large number of male and even female audiences who are already shouting, Ryougi Shiki is my wife!
…
The top of the Alchemy Tower.
After reading all the contents of the Spiral of Contradiction, Dean Hohenheim couldn't help but sigh:
"I really didn't expect that Du Lin would bring us such an amazing surprise again! Tai Chi, magic created by another world, origin, restraint, and the proposition of death... Although it is a fictional story, the authenticity of the logic in it far exceeds the degree of fiction."
In response to this, Sage Rosa nodded and said:
"Yes, what interests me most is the concept of Tai Chi and Aozaki Touko's puppet replacement concept. To be honest, both the mysterious form of the Tai Chi diagram and the exploration of the self-ego far exceed the current level of general magic theory."
"Yes, yes, yes. I also think that Tai Chi diagram is awesome. I will use a magic circle to carve one down and study it carefully."
Sage Wharton was shouting so loudly, but judging from the attitudes of the great sages around him, they were obviously too lazy to pay attention to his words. It was obvious that they did not believe that he could figure out anything from it.
After all, given the character of this great sage, the final product would probably be an explosion magic with a Tai Chi pattern. This kind of thing is obviously nothing new to other great sages.
Chapter 229: The spiral of contradictions ends! (Part 3)
Chapter 229
"According to the content of the film, the so-called Tai Chi is a circle of opposites that blend with each other. The black and white represent yin and yang, light and dark, positive and negative, male and female. The small dots in the double moons represent the spiral of contradictions. In a sense, this is equivalent to the theory of mutual generation and mutual restraint of elements. Elements that are negative poles of each other often produce unexpected results after reacting together."
Dean Hohenheim said so.
For this reason, the other great sages did not say much about this.
After all, the only one on the scene who possesses full elemental adaptability is Dean Hohenheim himself, and no one else has any say in this area.
After discussing the content related to Tai Chi, many great sages also discussed the possibility of building an artificial alien world such as Ogawa Apartment.
"If a magic circle is engraved all over the apartment from the beginning of its construction, and there is a huge amount of magic power that is large enough to support the entire apartment, perhaps it can be created."
"But I don't think it's possible to be like Araya Soren. After all, that means connecting your body to the entire alien world. If you want to do that, I think the average person's spirit can't bear it at all."
"Araya Soren's own mental power is already incredibly strong, but I think the reason why he can connect his physical body to the other world lies somewhere else."
"Yeah, I think so too. After all, Aozaki Touko seemed to have mentioned at the end that Araya Souren no longer exists in a sense. He has turned into a concept like a law. This is probably the reason why he will return after a hundred years. After all, in a sense, Araya Souren may have turned into a pure concept like wind, thunder, rain and snow in nature. Even if he dies, he will come back sooner or later."
"Now that you mention it, I always feel that some of Araya Soren's characteristics are similar to those of a god. Although the human empire's exploration of gods is still at a very shallow level, and because the world is now in a period of ebb, there is no trace of any gods at all, but the basic characteristics of gods can still be clearly seen. Among them, this incarnation that seems like a concept can be said to be almost exactly the same as a god."
"But in the final analysis, Araya Soren does not have the slightest divinity in him, and his personality still has the paranoia and emotional fluctuations that are unique to humans. His situation should be even more bizarre."
"Araya Sōren's origin is stillness. If he were to transform into a concept, in a sense, it would be equivalent to returning to his origin. But precisely because he is stillness, in a sense, he is no different from Sōjōba. No matter what he tries to do, the result he gets in the end is just meaningless emptiness, just like the title of "Kara no Kyoukai"."
