If he hadn't been entrusted with the commission, he would have wanted to turn around and leave right now, and notify the guards to arrest this bastard, but he finally protected this evil guy and let him follow him to Aozaki Touko's office to provide shelter.
When the audience saw the conversation between the two people on the screen, they were completely shocked.
They now finally understood the true meaning of the opening scene.
Chapter 143 Episode 3: Residual Pain (IV)
Chapter 143
In the movie, Kirei Kuroto finally sent Keita Minato to Aozaki Touko for refuge.
Seeing this scene, the audience couldn't help themselves.
"Why?! Why keep this scum around? It's better to just kill him!"
"Kurotogi may not be able to do it, but I think we should at least notify the guards and put him in jail."
"But if we inform the guards, Asagami Fujino's identity might be exposed, leading to her arrest, so we have to hold back for now."
"How can we tolerate this? This kind of scum should be thrown to feed the monsters!"
The audience in the Northrick Tavern was talking about this.
In the end, most people disagreed with Kurodori Mikiya's choice, thinking that it was too kind to treat such a villain.
Although compulsory education is not universal in the empire, the moral awareness of the masses is not bad. People all spit at unscrupulous thugs like Keita Minato who abuse young girls to express their disgust.
Because of this, they no longer had any doubts about Asagami Fujino's previous actions, and even hoped that the abused girl would quickly kill all these scums.
In the imperial capital, Knight Commander Wycliffe couldn't help but draw the sword at his waist. If Rhine hadn't stopped him, he would have smashed the TV with one sword!
"If I saw this bastard in the Empire, I would chop off the third leg and feed it to the pigs!"
In response to Knight Commander Wycliffe's harsh words, many knights trembled in fear and dared not say another word.
The knight Leah who was sitting next to him completely agreed with the words of Knight Commander Wycliffe. She also had the same sense of justice as the Knight Commander.
…
The movie then goes into a flashback sequence.
The story is about Fujino Asagami who used a toy knife when she was a child. As a result, the toy knife was mixed with a real knife, which caused her hand to be cut.
But not only did she not feel anything, she continued to cut her palms.
When her mother found out, she immediately stopped Kotono's behavior, comforted her and bandaged her wound.
During the process, the mother repeatedly told Xiao Fujino not to be afraid of pain, but the little girl had no idea what pain was and was confused and bewildered from beginning to end.
This completely confirmed the fact that Asagami Fujino lacked the sense of pain.
…
After seeing the scenes in the movie, the students of the Imperial Magic Academy immediately burst into discussion. Everyone was surprised at the fact that Asagami Fujino had no sense of pain.
“No sense of pain at all, what is it like?”
"I remember a great magician wrote a theory that pain is the body's self-protection mechanism. If the pain sensation is eliminated, people will not get better. Instead, they will not notice small problems in their bodies, which will eventually accumulate into serious illnesses and cause death."
"It must be very lucky that Asagami Fujino has lived to this age without feeling pain."
"In a sense, being a painless person means that one cannot feel the reality of being alive at all. This is probably why Asagami Fujino's personality is so abnormal."
"But, Asagami Fujino was clearly in pain when she first appeared. What's going on?"
"Keita Minato said that when his friend hit Asagami Fujino with a stick, the girl showed intense pain for the first time. It is possible that in that process, Asagami Fujino's pain center was reawakened. Of course, why Asagami Fujino has no sense of pain is still unknown. Maybe this is related to some special power?"
People can only discuss this much after all. After all, they still don't know why Asagami Fujino lost her sense of pain.
At the top of the Alchemy Tower, the great sages also discussed this issue.
"Under what circumstances do you think a person would lose the sense of pain?"
In response to Dean Hohenheim's question, the other great sages fell into deep thought.
Sage Rosa took the initiative to say at this moment:
"According to research, it is not the soul that controls the senses, but a very delicate organ in the human body that is spread all over the body and transmits what it senses to the brain, so that people can feel pain, touch and a series of other perceptions. Therefore, if some of the sensory organs in the human body are cut off, it may cause the person to lose control of pain."
"You mean Asagami Todono is no longer able to feel pain because he was born without his sensory organs, or because someone removed his sensory organs later in life?"
"Although this is generally logical, this story is not magical at all. Many things cannot be explained by common sense."
"… "
After hearing Sage Rosa's almost half-spoiler remarks, the great sages present immediately realized the meaning of her words.
The slightly irritable Great Sage of Fire Element directly shouted:
"Shut up, I don't want to hear spoilers!"
"I didn't mean to do that..."
Sage Rosa was very depressed. She didn't expect that these old guys would be so concerned about watching a movie that they wouldn't even allow the slightest spoiler.
In fact, not only the Great Sage of Fire Element, but all the other Great Sages of this academy also resisted such a bad behavior as spoilers. These old guys used to stay in their own mage towers to conduct research and were bored to death. Now that they finally had a little entertainment, they naturally didn't want it to be ruined.
…
The movie's flashback segment ended quickly, and the scene switched to Aozaki Touko's office.
Kiriya Kuroto brought Keita Minato here to give him asylum, and discussed with Aozaki Touko how to deal with the problem of Asagami Fujino.
As a result, before he even opened his mouth, he was criticized by Aozaki Touko and Ryougi Shiki as being a pushover.
"Yeah, I also feel like I'm about to be looked down upon by you guys like this."
Faced with the helplessness of Kuroto Kirei, Aozaki Touko and Ryougi Shiki have obviously discussed the situation and are even ready to take action.
Next, the three discussed the fact that Asagami Fujino might be suffering from analgesia, and concluded that she wanted to retaliate against the person who abused her because of her own pain.
In this situation, ordinary countermeasures are almost impossible to be effective, and Ryougi Shiki decides to kill Asagami Fujino to end the killing.
In response, Kuroto Kirei strongly protested. He believed that there was no way to determine the real reason why Asagami Fujino killed people, so he wanted to investigate and hoped that the two could wait for him to come back before taking action.
However, the day after Kurodori Kan'aya left, murders occurred again.
And this time, the victim was a passerby who was completely innocent of Asagami Fujino, at least in the eyes of Aozaki Touko and Ryougi Shiki.
"I can't wait any longer, Orange, do you know where that guy is?"
"I have filtered out two or three possible hiding places. Asagami Fujino should be hiding in one of these three places. In order to avoid trouble, let's get this done before Kurogiri comes back."
Hearing Orange's words, Ryougi Shiki nodded with a sharp look in her eyes and left the office with her usual smooth steps.
Orange, who was left alone indoors, turned his gaze to the window.
"Kurogi didn't make it in time, did he? Next, it depends on whether the storm arrives first or is created first. If Shiki goes alone, he might be defeated, Ryougi."
The magician talked to himself without an audience.
At the same time, the originally azure blue sky was gradually covered with a layer of lead gray.
The typhoon is coming.
…
Seeing the scenes on the screen and realizing that the final battle was about to come, the audience showed nervous expressions and watched the film intently, afraid to miss every moment.
Chapter 144 Episode 3: Residual Pain (V)
Chapter 144
The following film begins to advance along two lines.
One line tells the story of Kurotori Kan'ya searching everywhere to find the real reason why Asagami Fujino killed people, while the other line tells the story of Ryougi Shiki taking up arms, determined to completely eliminate Asagami Fujino who was killing people everywhere.
At the recommendation of Aozaki Touko, Kurodori Mikiya found an old professor and asked him whether the concept of superpowers existed.
"There are indeed superpowers in this world, but superpowers also have different types. This academic discipline is very taboo, and there are only a handful of research facilities in the world that conduct research in a black box manner. I don't have any detailed information. Well, it is said that the results in the past three years have been improved to a very practical level, but it is hard to say. After all, this kind of ability must be a breakthrough from birth."
Hearing the old professor's words, Kurotogi Kan'ya hurriedly asked:
"Then in what form do humans possess superpowers?"
“Do you watch TV in the form of channels?”
"Yes, of course I will - what's the connection?"
"The human brain is like the receiving end of a television. We can only receive signals that can be received and watch the content. Although there are other channels, we cannot receive them. Do you understand?"
"I see. That's a pity."
"No, it's not a pity."
"Why?"
"Assuming you can receive the channel of the abnormal, the world you know will be different from the current one, and you will have different common sense. In the general society, such common sense does not exist, and you who have super common sense will become an outlier."
"Abnormal? In other words, mentally abnormal?"
"That's right. For example, if a person can communicate with plants but lacks the ability to communicate with humans, wouldn't he be considered a mentally ill person in the eyes of the outside world?"
"This seems to make sense."
"In fact, there are many such people. They are generally called murderers or lunatics, but I call them maladaptive beings. There are many people who cannot adapt to society, but their existence itself cannot adapt to this society from the beginning. These people are outliers and twisted beings that can never be transformed into normal people. People with super powers are just individuals with special powers on this basis."
This was the end of Kuroto Kiryu's communication with the old professor. After gaining a deeper understanding of the concept of people with super powers, he became even more confused.
Asagami Fujino, is there really any hope
He couldn't answer.
At the same time, in a ruined building, Fujino Asagami squatted in the corner tiredly, pressing her abdomen.
It was raining heavily outside and there was a strong wind.
Unconsciously, she fell into memories, recalling a time when she sprained her ankle when she was young.
Because he has no sense of pain, he can still move, but he looks very miserable.
In this situation, the black-haired senior she had met before appeared in front of her and asked her gently.
"Will it hurt?"
"You're so stupid. Listen carefully, if you're injured, you don't have to endure it. If it hurts, you should scream it out, Fujino."
Having said this, he carried her on his back, sent her all the way to the health room, and left.
That memory is like a faint dream.
Looking back, Asagami Fujino might have liked him since then.
This is a beautiful dream that belongs only to her.
But, the beautiful dream will eventually end.
When she opened her eyes again, the 'God of Death' had already appeared in front of her in the midst of the violent storm.
"Finally I see you, Asagami."
Ryougi Shiki, wearing a red coat and white clothes, stood in the storm, looking at her with a smile. Her ghost-like figure was extremely unreal.
There was no need for any extra words, both sides were well aware that they were about to engage in a brutal fight without any harmony at all!
…
A fierce battle was about to break out in the picture. At this moment, everyone held their breath and started a heated discussion about the scene just now.
"By the way, in the worldview of Kara no Kyoukai, there are no magical abilities like that, right?"
"It's not that it doesn't exist, it just seems to be hidden in the dark side of the world, and ordinary people can't detect it."
"I can't imagine how such a world would develop. Don't the humans in this world have any external enemies? If they don't have external enemies, do they not have wars?"
"I don't know. After all, our world is full of alien races. We are the only human kingdom in the world. If it weren't for the appearance of the first great sage Roland, who successfully led humans to win several national defense wars, the human race would probably still be a mess now."
"Powerful foreign enemies have inspired humans to explore magic and martial arts. For us, superpowers are not abnormal at all, but excellent abilities worth boasting about."
"The peace of the empire now depends entirely on the existence of magicians. The power of magic has changed the weak status of humans and made the kingdoms of other races no longer dare to look down on us."
"If there were a world where humans had neither external enemies nor magic, such a world would probably be very peaceful."
Faced with the plot on the screen, people said this.
