What follows is a monologue by Kurodori Kan'aya, accompanied by a scene of him heading to the hospital holding flowers.
"Every Saturday afternoon, I go to visit her. To visit Ryougi Shiki, who has been unable to speak since that night."
"I don't know what kind of pain she is in or what she is thinking."
"I don't understand why she wants to kill me."
"But seeing that dreamy smile that Shiki showed at the end was enough."
"Shi, who had been sleeping in the ward, still looked the same as before."
"I remember standing in the sunset after school on the last day."
"In the twilight that seemed to be burning with flames, Shi asked me what on earth made me trust her so much."
“I repeated my answer.”
"There is no basis for this, but I will still keep believing in you. Because I like you, so I want to keep believing in you—"
"What an immature answer that is."
"But she won't kill anyone, I can guarantee that."
"Because she knows how painful it is to kill someone. As both the victim and the perpetrator, you know better than anyone how sad it is."
"So I choose to believe, to believe in Shiki who can't hurt anyone and Zhi who is covered in wounds."
"—Believe in that girl named Ryougi Shiki who seems to be vulnerable at any time, who never reveals her true feelings...
"I met her on that snowy night two years ago."
The scene froze on the unconscious girl in the hospital, and the ending BGM sounded.
…
When the audience saw the ending scene of the movie, they fell silent.
Of course, the silence of the vast majority of people is undoubtedly due to confusion, and everything that happened at the end of the story makes people feel as if they are in the fog and hazy.
No one knows why the story suddenly developed like this.
"Why did Ryougi Shiki suddenly fall into a coma?"
"It's very strange. Although I don't quite understand it, I just feel very sad."
"What happened when the screen went black at the end?"
"It should be explained later, otherwise it's too confusing."
Various discussions were heard. For ordinary people in this world, the threshold for viewing The Realm of Sky was indeed too high.
Compared to "The Scenery" which at least has a lot of fighting scenes, everything before "Murder Investigation" makes people feel lost and confused from the bottom of their hearts.
Is Ryougi Shiki a murderer
Why did Ryougi Shiki want to kill Kurodori Kan'aya
Is it true that Kiriya Kuroto's attitude towards Ryougi Shiki is just pure liking
Why did Ryougi Shiki fail to kill Kurodori Kan'aya and instead fell into a coma
What is the whole story trying to express
Countless confusions lingered over the audience's heads, making those viewers who originally just wanted to see fancy fights like in "Fate Zero" feel very dissatisfied.
Of course, Du Lin had anticipated this situation a long time ago, so he simply decided to broadcast three episodes in a row.
Even if the audience has resentment in their hearts right now, considering that there is still one episode to come, all the resentment will be suppressed and they will quietly wait for the subsequent plot to begin.
However, how could Du Lin give up the good opportunity to insert advertisements during the free time between episodes
Therefore, after the ending bgm before "Murder Investigation" was completely over, an advertisement about the subject of magic alchemy was immediately inserted into the TV.
Du Lin personally appeared to introduce the newly born discipline of magic alchemy to people, and warmly invited talented magicians to join the discipline of magic alchemy.
This scene made the students of the Imperial Magic Academy excited, and they all regretted not seizing the opportunity some time ago to join the newly born discipline of magic alchemy.
Of course, in reality, the attitude of the freshmen who joined at the beginning was completely the opposite. They were sent to the TV station by Du Lin and exploited in 007 mode, and they regretted choosing to join the magic alchemy subject.
But no matter what, the most discussed topic among the students of the Imperial Magic Academy is still the content of "Kara no Kyoukai" which has just been aired.
"Overlooking the scenery and investigating the murder, the time span of the first two episodes is really long. Most people would be confused after watching them."
"Who said it wasn't? I just didn't quite understand it."
"Is this a new attempt by Senior Du Lin? To be honest, I feel that in the future, "Kara no Kyoukai" will be the least rated of his works."
“It’s not as funny as God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World, not as tense as Goblin Slayer, not as exciting as Fate Zero, and the plot is extremely confusing. There is almost no explanation, and it’s impossible to understand it quickly. It’s really a bad movie in every aspect.”
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Maybe there will be a reversal in the future."
Amidst all kinds of discussions, people began to take advantage of the halftime to rest, and those who wanted to eat or go to the toilet rushed out all at once, causing an extremely crowded situation.
After all, no matter what they say, they are still looking forward to the third episode of "Kara no Kyoukai" in their hearts, and they can't wait to come back as soon as possible and don't want to miss any second.
Chapter 139: The Ending Before the Murder Investigation (Part 3)
Chapter 139
During the commercial break, the plot before the second episode of "Kara no Kyoukai" - Murder Investigation - sparked discussion across the empire.
Compared to the discussion of the plot itself by ordinary people, the topics discussed by the great sages at the top of the Alchemy Tower are much larger.
"Dual personality, overlapping souls, has there ever been a similar case in the real world of magic theory?"
In response to Dean Hohenheim's question, Sage Rosa thought for a moment and replied:
"Magicians who study spirits and souls have indeed come up with similar theories, but in reality, it is too difficult to realize them. After all, if two souls are overlapped, their basic form cannot be handled. Some researchers believe that the two souls should be cut in half and then stuffed into a container, but how to cut them has not been discussed to a conclusion so far. After all, few people have done such a crazy experiment in reality."
Hearing Sage Rosa's words, a younger middle-aged great sage at the side spoke up:
"Has the Undead School ever conducted similar research? I remember that many of the experiments of this school were very crazy, and the processes were so cruel that I don't even have the authority to fully review the data."
In response to his words, Sage Rosa said calmly:
"Of course there is, but because the process is beyond the limits of human acceptance, I advise you not to want to know. Stritch, who was looking up the information with me at the time, even ran to the toilet and vomited after reading the content. He was unable to recover for several days."
"Well, I'm more curious about why you, Sage Rosa, are fine..."
In response, Sage Rosa just smiled and said:
"This is a female secret. If you want to know, be prepared to be killed by me."
"!!!"
Seeing the middle-aged sage's genuinely startled look, Sage Rosa immediately smiled and said loudly:
"Just kidding, but there are some things I really hope you don't know."
While the two were discussing, the other great sages were also discussing the plot of the story. However, since Murder Investigation: Before didn't have nearly as many elements related to magic as Overlooking the Scenery, the discussion ultimately only stayed on the superficial part.
All the great sages are currently looking forward to the third episode of "The Garden of Sinners". They really want to know whether Durin can bring them an unexpected experience in this final episode.
…
At the same time, in the imperial capital.
Knight Commander Wycliffe was still struggling until the end as to whether Ryougi Shiki had killed anyone.
Although Ryougi Shiki ultimately failed to kill Kurodori Mikiya and ended up being hospitalized, for Knight Commander Wycliffe, who had an extremely strong sense of justice, no matter what the process was, he only cared about the final result.
"If Ryougi Shiki is really a murderer who kills innocent people, and if such a character is the heroine, I will definitely report this film and advise His Majesty the Emperor not to broadcast such films with questionable values on TV in the future!"
Rhine, who had just been beaten up, naturally did not dare to speak again in response to Knight Commander Wycliffe's overly serious look. He turned to look at Wilhelm beside him and said:
"When the screen went black at the end, there seemed to be a roar of a beast. Was that some kind of monster?"
Wilhelm thought for a moment after hearing his question, and finally said:
"It should be a silver moon wolf that is common in the forests of the empire. This kind of monster is very aggressive and often attacks pedestrians. The reason why Ryougi Shiki fell into a coma may be because he was attacked by this monster."
"A monster attack? Then why is Kurogiri Mikiya not hurt at all?"
"this… "
Wilhelm obviously couldn't come to any conclusion on this issue and could only remain silent.
At the same time, the knights around them obviously did not discuss such in-depth topics. They were just happy that Wilhelm was able to get a TV from Durin.
They are very happy to be able to watch such wonderful content for the first time.
…
Edward Tavern.
After the screening of Murder Investigations, Du Lin stretched his body slowly.
Watching TV for a long time does have a great impact on the human body. Considering that the empire is not in a completely peaceful state right now, perhaps the TV station's broadcast time should be strictly designed in the future, at least to leave enough rest time
While Du Lin was thinking about this matter which he estimated would be opposed by people all over the country, the people around him were engaging in a heated debate.
"It's unlikely that Ryougi Shiki is the murderer. After all, the clues given are too clear. It's almost like a deliberate inducement."
Chase said this, although he didn't say much from beginning to end, but after the film was over, he still put forward his own views.
On the side, Winry nodded in agreement, but she obviously hoped that the story could have a good ending, so she hoped that Ryougi Shiki had not really done anything evil.
On the other side, Zat and Aya, who were still fighting, calmed down under the mediation of Helena and Daphne. Zat then spoke:
"I don't think Ryougi Shiki is a bad person, otherwise there's no way that Kuroto Mikiya would have survived."
"Hehe, Zat, you can finally say something useful."
Facing Aya's inexplicably smug expression, Zat decisively grabbed her blue hair and said loudly:
"Why are you so proud? What can you say about it?"
Aya, who was in tears, cried out in pain about Zat's behavior:
"Of course I can tell you. Ryougi Shiki has never killed anyone. She has never made up her mind to kill Kuroto Mikiya. I even suspect that her last move was to commit suicide!"
"What?!"
After hearing what Aya said, everyone present was shocked, especially Du Lin. He even suspected that she had secretly seen the subsequent spoilers.
However, he hadn't even written the rest of the script, and Aya had obviously not read the spoilers; she just spoke based on her intuition.
"I really want to know whether you are a fool or a fool. There is no logic in what you said!"
Hearing Zat's contemptuous words, Aya immediately became dissatisfied again.
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Du Lin quickly said:
"Okay, okay, the commercial break is almost over, and the next episode is about to begin."
"Is it about to start?!"
All of a sudden, everyone in the tavern sat up straight.
At the same time, the black screen that flashed across the TV also silenced the audiences watching movies across the empire.
Chapter 140 Episode 3: Residual Pain (I)
Chapter 140
The third episode of "Kara no Kyoukai", the pain remains.
The opening has a completely different dark tone from the previous two episodes, and the overall feeling is quite gloomy.
Dim candlelight, scattered figures, and a girl surrounded and forced by many men. Anyone who sees such a scene will instinctively feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the movie did not reveal the deep ugliness in the picture too explicitly. The scenes of the girl with empty eyes being raped by many men were almost all shown by various silhouettes.
Just when people thought that the girl was destined to endure this tragic fate, a strange energy suddenly swept across the entire space.
When the screen lit up again, in the dark secret room, only the girl was left standing there alone, and the men around her had turned into corpses and were scattered all around.
"One, two, three, four... four..."
"One man escaped—"
The girl murmured to herself.
After a moment of silence, a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of the girl's mouth.
