"It's true. I killed him just now. I stabbed his stomach with a kitchen knife and cut off his head. It's impossible for a human to be alive in that state."
Hearing the rude speech, Ryougi Shiki immediately became interested.
Immediately afterwards, after a conversation between the two, Ryougi Shiki suddenly blurted out that he could let Satsukiba hide in his own home.
Although he was surprised by this fact, he finally nodded and agreed.
…
The story development pace of "Spiral of Contradiction" is relatively fast in "Kara no Kyoukai". Not only is the pace fast, the plot content is also very rich.
Just the beginning shows enough suspense, wonderful fighting, and detailed description...
It can be said that any audience who sees this will not feel bored, but will instinctively look forward to the subsequent plot.
This is true even in the eyes of the nobles in the Duke's Palace.
They had originally been disparaging movies and television, not thinking that this low-level form of entertainment had any meaning, but now they had lost all their temper and were all staring at the content on the screen, wanting to know what was going on next.
Of course, even so, the arrogance in their hearts still prevented them from saying any compliments. They could only stare coldly at the TV in front of them, hoping that the following plot would be as boring as they expected.
On the other side, after watching this part of the plot, the True Ancestor Elquit smiled with interest and said:
"I asked Noah to help me watch the first few episodes of Kara no Kyoukai on this TV that I made myself. To be honest, among all the TV movies currently being broadcast, I like the story described in this movie the most."
In response to the remarks made by the True Ancestor of Vampires, or the First Duke of the South, the current Duke of the South immediately revealed a subtle expression, and it was obvious that he was somewhat concerned about the title given to him.
Although he was used to being called that in private, he still felt a little embarrassed when his ancestor called him by his nickname in front of outsiders.
On the other side, knowing for the first time that the full name of Duke Constantine was Noah Constantine, Du Lin could not help but glance at him, and before His Excellency the Duke tried to say something to save his dignity, he said:
"Ms. True Ancestor? Why are you so interested in the movie "Kara no Kyoukai"?"
Duke Constantine's face suddenly turned dark at Durin's disrespectful address and he wanted to speak, but Elquet himself stopped him.
The vampire progenitor seemed to like this title very much and said with a smile:
“The reason why I like The Garden of Sinners is simple, because everything described in this story is very similar to my past life, and I like the descriptions of various murderers in it. Although in fact, most murderers have very foolish motives or even no motives, whether it is human or other races, killing one’s own kind is a great sin and an innate evil. This mentality of living with sin is a good placebo for me.”
"… "
Unable to understand the meaning of the other party's words, nor able to guess the thoughts in the mind of this vampire progenitor through simple language, Du Lin, lacking information, was unable to continue thinking.
However, he now has one question answered, which is who made that unimaginable TV.
Although no human magician could draw a magic circle of such density, it would not be surprising if the person who created it was a vampire true ancestor whose rank could no longer be evaluated.
Chapter 207 Episode 5: Spiral of Contradiction! (V)
Chapter 207
"Who on earth is this guy called Tiaoba? Did he kill his own parents?"
"But when the police arrived at his home, his father was indeed still alive."
"In short, there must be something wrong with this guy's family."
"Yes, but the scumbag himself looks quite ordinary."
"Maybe this is all just a disguise?"
"… "
The audience kept talking.
Both the audience in the TV tavern in the South Territory and the magicians of the Imperial Magic Academy felt extremely confused and did not understand what this story was based on.
But there is no doubt that when Ryougi Shiki appeared on the stage, the audience no longer cared about these things and just wanted to see this handsome heroine show her amazing heroic figure.
…
The scenes in the film suddenly began to switch, roughly explaining the family situation of Qian Tiaoba in the form of memories.
When he was in high school, Tiaoba was a well-known sprinter in the track and field world. He had never lost a competition in junior high school and possessed talents that everyone envied.
However, he eventually gave up running.
Because his family was not wealthy, his father had been unemployed since he was in elementary school, and although his mother came from a prominent family, she broke off relations with her family in order to marry his father.
In such a family that only exists to face destruction, Tiaoba has worked desperately since junior high school, lying about his age to find a job and raise tuition for school.
I originally thought that as long as I could hold on, I would be able to usher in better results. However, my shabby father killed someone while driving a car, and he didn't even have a driver's license.
Thus, the nightmare-like days began.
The collapse of the family, the disappearance of daily life, rumors everywhere, and an endless cycle...
After waking up from nightmares day after day, Tsunayoshi found himself in Ryougi Shiki's room again, and the girl named Ryougi Shiki just walked in from outside the door.
“…What? You’re here today too? What are you doing? You didn’t even turn on the lights.”
Regarding the fact that the other party didn't care whether he was a murderer or not, Tiaoba couldn't help but ask:
"Hey, are you a dangerous person?"
"Dangerous person, did you say dangerous person? This word is really interesting!"
"you… "
"Hahahaha, yeah, that's right, there's no other guy as dangerous as me around here."
Ryougi Shiki spoke casually, and then had a completely irrelevant exchange with Tsunayoshi.
In this way, Nakajoba was taken in and temporarily lived in Ryougi Shiki's room.
Next, the film used extremely strange scene switching to tell the story of the two people's daily cohabitation.
Ryougi Shiki's weird personality and Kujoba's timidity form a sharp contrast. Anyone can feel the discomfort of Kujoba's daily life, but the latter is already a "ghost" with no place to stay, and this narrow room is his only home.
Just like that, one night, the shaved head was lying in the corner of Ryougi Shiki's room as usual.
Suddenly, the room was opened, and just as he was about to walk to the corridor to greet the enemy, a shockingly sharp blade suddenly cut across his neck, and blood splattered.
“Ha~ha~”
When he came to his senses, he found that Ryougi Shiki had walked back into the room. It seemed that what he had just felt was just an illusion caused by a strong murderous intent.
"Not even you."
Having said this, the girl leaned back on the bed in disappointment, muttering to herself:
"I just went to kill someone."
"… "
"But it didn't work. I didn't find anyone to kill today. When you were in the corridor just now, I thought it might be possible if it was you, but it turned out not to be possible. There's no point in killing you."
"I thought you were going to kill me just now."
"I want to feel alive, but there is no point in just killing people. Walking aimlessly at night like this is no different from a ghost. One day I will start killing people meaninglessly."
Ryougi Shiki's voice was more fragile than ever before. Even though she seemed strong, she still had troubles in her heart that were unknown to ordinary people.
Regarding all this, although Tiaoba thought that he might be able to help the other party, after a brief communication, he realized that he did not have the ability or the qualifications to do so.
…
The plot of the film progresses relatively slowly. Until now, it has been introducing the main characters of this episode, Ryougi Shiki and Nakajo Tomoe, through various aspects.
Although viewers who have watched the previous episodes of "Kara no Kyoukai" are already very clear about the character of the heroine Ryougi Shiki and are not surprised by her behavior, the nobles who have not seen those contents still couldn't help but murmur.
"What's wrong with this girl named Ryougi Shiki? Not only did she take in a bastard who could have killed someone, she also kept saying she wanted to kill someone. Does she have some kind of mental illness?"
"What a strange character creation. I still don't understand what this character is about."
"Humph, low-level entertainment is really low-level entertainment. They just like to make some nonsense and pretend to be mysterious. I don't think it will be very exciting later."
"Yes, with a plot like this, which of our excellent playwrights can't come up with one? If we were to make a movie, we could definitely make something a hundred or a thousand times better than this!"
"That's right. Just based on this kind of thing, it can actually attract so many viewers. I can only say that the common people's taste is low-level. How sad..."
"… "
All kinds of words came out of the nobles' mouths.
After the plot of "Kara no Kyoukai" entered a dull stage, they suddenly became arrogant again, and each of them wanted to degrade this work to the ground in order to show the nobility and elegance of their own taste.
Faced with this scene, Du Lin just smiled coldly.
After all, he had seen this kind of scene many times when he was surfing the Internet in his previous life. He could see these self-righteous trolls commenting on any work.
Unfortunately, trolls are just trolls in the end. If these self-righteous trolls were really allowed to create a work, the final result would be beyond imagination...
Of course, most of the trolls you encounter while surfing the Internet are very clear about their own level and will always show off their "talent" in the comments, but these nobles in this world seem to have no idea what their own level is.
This made Du Lin look forward to the scene when these guys really tried to make a movie and finally released it.
It must be very 'exciting'!
Chapter 208 Episode 5: Spiral of Contradiction! (VI)
Chapter 208
Compared to the self-righteous comments of the nobles, the Southern Territory audiences who had watched the previous episodes of "Kara no Kyoukai" could not help but comment.
"Ryougi Shiki's problem seems to be getting more serious. She seems to be unable to control her murderous impulse."
"Looking at the situation, the current time point seems to be after the overlooking scenery. It is already the latest plot. It is easy to understand why Ryougi Shiki's condition is problematic."
"The lack of cognition caused by Liang Yizhi's death is indeed very serious. She has not yet filled the void in her heart and lacks self-awareness."
"This guy, Jian Tiao Ba, is really lucky. Hei Tong Kan'ya is not here right now. I don't know what he is doing. His head is almost green."
"That's not the case. Ryougi Shiki clearly has no interest in Kujoba. Her attitude is more like treating a pet than a human being. It's not that kind of relationship at all."
"I just want to know what's going on in the family of the shrewd fellow. According to my memories, his family should be very ordinary. How could such a weird situation occur?"
"I don't know, but this kid is pretty miserable. I hope he can have a good ending."
"… "
Various voices were heard. Whether it was the ordinary people in the South Territory or the magicians of the Imperial Magic Academy, facing the long foreshadowing of the spiral of contradictions at the beginning, they could not make any specific judgments. They could only communicate while waiting for the plot to continue to develop.
…
The plot of the film finally took a turn after a long and dull period of preparation.
One day, when he was on the road, he suddenly found someone following Ryougi Shiki. He quickly told the other person about it, but the reply he got was very bland.
Ryougi Shiki doesn't care about such trivial matters at all.
For this reason, Kujoba confessed to Ryougi Shiki under some impulse, but the other party pointed a dagger at his neck.
Facing Ryougi Shiki's question of "Can you die for me?", the boy trembled for a while and replied:
"Sure, if it's for you."
After hearing this answer, Ryougi Shiki's eyes gradually turned cold.
And the shrew said to himself in despair and pain:
"My life is of no value anyway. After killing my parents, I will be sentenced to death anyway. Compared to the gallows, you did it more efficiently."
"Killed your parents?"
"Ah, I killed my parents. I don't know how many times I used a kitchen knife to tear their internal organs repeatedly, as if I was afraid that something would go wrong and I wouldn't be able to kill them. Hehe, come on... I was such a fool that I was numb to everything. My fingers couldn't let go of the kitchen knife, and my wrist kept stirring the internal organs. At that time, I couldn't tell whether I stabbed them to kill my parents or to stir the internal organs, and I couldn't even tell whether it was a human being."
"Ba, why did you kill them?"
"I... was scared because I had a dream. I came back from work and lay down on the bed. Soon I heard my parents arguing next door, and then the partition opened. My father was covered in blood and my mother was standing there. Then my mother stabbed me to death, stabbing me in the throat again and again."
"… "
"At first, I thought I was dead, but when I woke up in the morning, that didn't happen. Since then, I have had the same dream every night. Every day, every day, the dream comes again and again. Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore, so before I was killed, I killed my mother!"
The painful voice slowly fell, and the story of the tragic character of Qian Tiaoba was completely revealed. Although there were many doubts in it, most people did not think deeply about it.
After all, every detail he described can be matched with the scene at the beginning of the film.
And in this situation, the content of the film continues to develop. Since the day when Nijima confessed the fact that he had killed his mother, he never returned to Ryougi Shiki's room.
He originally just wanted to die like a weed on the roadside where no one knew him, but suddenly he saw his mother, who was supposed to be dead, on the street.
Seeing this scene, he felt a chill in his heart and instinctively found Ryougi Shiki and told him everything he had seen.
