Xingyue: The protagonist I recommended died again

Chapter 196 Octavian’s “Gift”

"I always feel that Senior Jian Yi just said some difficult and profound topics..." Matou Sakura said with a smile, feeling a little surprised.

The reason why he was surprised was because what he said just now was extremely inconsistent with the usually overly pragmatic and down-to-earth Jian Yi.

I have only seen ideological disputes in textbooks, as well as words such as universal values...

It turns out that senior Jian Yi also thinks about these things, unlike high school students? Matou Sakura thought to herself.

As if sensing the doubts and surprises in Matou Sakura's heart, Kama in her body took the initiative to answer her questions.

Sakura, I think you may have misunderstood. This man does have a pragmatic heart that makes people want to complain, but this does not mean that he does not understand anything and is an ignorant person.

On the contrary, he is actually very smart. Otherwise, how could he easily analyze our hearts in the first place?
He actually knows everything and has very unique insights into human theory, but he never shows it.

Why? Matou Sakura asked.

Before Jiamo could answer, Jian Yi took the initiative to give something similar to the answer.

"Sakura, don't pay attention to what I just said. Even I was just talking about it. For ordinary people, you have to understand these four big words of human affairs."

After saying this, Jian Jian paused for a moment, then raised an index finger, and his eyes became a little more serious.

Tell the eight-character mantra word for word.

"The important matters of human affairs are none of my business."

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence. Matou Sakura was silent. Everyone present was silent. Only Medusa focused on the word "hang" and thought more and more deeply...

It’s also worth mentioning that, whether it’s a coincidence or not, Medusa’s reverie does have the meaning of a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.

There is indeed something akin to fate between the seemingly unrelated human principles and the simple Little Brother.

"I think what Yerimu just said is true. Whether it is human nature or restraint, it must not be static. Just like social forms and ideologies that will change in each period to adapt to the continuous development of human beings, they must also be developing. .”

As soon as Bayi said this, Jian Yi immediately gave a thumbs up.

"As expected of a heroic spirit related to China, he even has such a vision for development! I really underestimated you, Sister Bai. I thought you were only thinking about making money!"

Bayi raised his head and snorted, seemingly disapproving, but actually quite proud.

"Don't underestimate me. The smart Bayi (capitalist) will definitely look at the poor from a development perspective and make good use of long-term thinking. They will also pay attention to the use of sustainable squeeze solutions and choose to squeeze out all the benefits at once. None of them are qualified Bayi! A qualified Bayi would never do that!"

After Bai finished speaking, Jian Yi fell silent.

Good guy, after all this, isn’t it just to exploit the poor?

He is indeed one of the prototypes of the legendary Asian capitalist!

"But isn't inhibition a bad person? It's like Alaya who created the tragedy of Emiya-senpai... no, the Heroic Spirit Emiya..." Matou Sakura said weakly at this time.

"Do you still know about Emiya?"

Jian Jian was a little surprised, but didn't care, assuming that the other party learned about it after arriving in Jiali. At the same time, he didn't notice that Bayi pouted because of Matou Sakura's words, as if he was a little unhappy.

"Sakura, you have misunderstood a concept. It's like the foundation of human nature is not that human nature chooses the correct history, but that it chooses the history chosen by mankind as the foundation of human nature. In addition to natural disasters, it also leads to personal tragedies. The reason will only be people.”

As Jian Jian said, Bai Yi in front of him nodded, expressing great agreement with Jian Jian's words.

"Take Emiya, for example, his tragedy was ultimately caused by himself. His inhibitions did give him a choice at the beginning, but it did not force him to make a choice. He was the one who made the choice.

Even for the tasks assigned to him by his inhibitions, he never gave clear orders on who needed to be killed to complete the tasks, giving him a high degree of freedom during the tasks.

For example, let's say the inhibitory power asks him to end a war that may lead to the destruction of mankind. I don't think the inhibitory power will forcefully give him an order to kill a specific person.

The mission policy and methods were formulated under his own subjective initiative from the beginning. His inhibitions never forced him to choose more and less kills in the mission. Those were all choices he made based on what he thought was justice.

Therefore, don’t just throw the blame for his tragedy on Inhibition. Don’t let Inhibition take the blame. "

To put it simply, Inhibition should not be blamed for the tragedy that created Emiya Shirou, but the person who created his extreme concept of justice (Emiya Kiritsugu) should be blamed.

In fact, even if it were to throw the blame on Tokiomi's head, it would be more tenable than letting Inhibition take the blame.

It's not because he is somehow related to Tokiomi, it's mainly because Tokiomi is not short of the blame.

Suddenly, Jian Jian thought of something again, smiled and continued: "Actually, sometimes I feel that restraint (specifically referring to Alaya) is quite humane. There are obviously simpler and more crude ways to solve the crisis, but I choose to believe in humans. .”

"Humanized?" Jiamo, who came online, had a subtle expression.

Jian Jian nodded, and then slowly explained.

When you reach the level of inhibition, you can obviously use some simple and crude methods to deal with those crises, such as making a few killers similar to artificial intelligence that have no emotions and obey orders 100%.

Not only can it greatly improve work efficiency, but it can also prevent people's emotions from swaying during tasks, and will never break down like Emiya did.

However, it still chose humans.

"...In a sense, this is indeed a kind of humanization, which always trusts human beings' own judgment and choices."

After Jian Jian said, Jiamo fell into deep thought.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed the case.

In addition, another theoretical support for Jian Jian's dare to say this is this time's human incineration crisis.

If Inhibition really wants to solve Human Burn, it is actually very simple. Summoning all the crowned heroes, including Solomon, for a team battle can definitely defeat Goetia.

The script has been thought out in a nutshell. First, let Solomon give a hug to gay Tia, and then the rest of the rank servants will swarm up and engage in gay sex together. In this way, the gay boss will be extremely anxious and fired on the spot to GC... No , GG on the spot.

But whether in the original work or here, the inhibitory force did not do this. It just summoned some heroic spirit followers with high subjective initiative (not necessarily completely obedient) at specific points.

"Maybe that's true."

Kama said calmly, the last time Fuyuki, except for the heroic spirit Emiya summoned by Tohsaka Rin, the restraint force did not show up until the end. He had obviously made complete preparations and means to deal with the crowned heroic spirit, but he did not show up until the end. Appear.

Perhaps, it really wants to believe in human beings' own choices.

Thinking of this, Jiamo suddenly felt that something was not right and looked at Jian Yi.

Could it be that from the beginning, Alaya believed in this man who had no magic ability and could pick his feet and kill a chicken with great difficulty?

No, this man should have had no direct contact with inhibitions from beginning to end.

Just when Jiamo missed his sister, Bayi suddenly spoke up.

"Jerimu, it's time to land!"

Jian Yi caught the hint of happiness in Bayi's voice and gave him a puzzled look.

"Why do you feel so happy?"

"Huh? It's nothing." Bayi shook his head, then grinned: "Bai is willing to believe in Yerimu's choice and judgment!"

? Simply put a question mark and you won’t know what’s going on.

I was about to ask again, but found that I had already landed...

The port of Massilia at this moment is a desolate and silent world. The once bustling port has now become a rubble field, with charred ports, broken ships, and discarded metal pieces scattered all over the place.

There is no longer the hustle and bustle of the past here. The wreckage of ships is everywhere, like broken statues, telling the cruelty of war. The air was filled with the smell of smoke and scorched earth, making people feel suffocated. The trees on the streets are no longer vibrant green, but gray dead trees, standing helplessly among the ruins. The once bustling and lively crowds no longer exist, leaving only silence and loneliness.

Jian Jian found some children in the ruins. They were originally residents here, and their parents relied on this port to make a living. But now, without their parents, they can only find a trace of shelter in the dilapidated dock. Wearing shabby clothes, they shuttled between the dilapidated cargo ships, looking for food and daily necessities. Their faces were haggard, their eyes were full of sadness and helplessness, and they were timid to not approach them.

Facing such a scene, Jian Yi remained silent for a long time.

Because I thought of the information I once revealed to Octavian:

As long as the trading port is secured, the United Empire will collapse!
It was the first time that Jian Yi had an extremely strong desire to escape and not face it.

"Is the only way to fight war in his mind?"

Jian Yan clenched his fists, his expression gloomy and terrifying.

There are obviously many ways to stop the operation of the port, but Octavian chose the most cruel one, and he didn't even say hello to himself when he did it.

He...how dare he!
Jian Jian will not use other people's mistakes to punish herself, but this time it seems unreasonable to say that it has nothing to do with her.

For the first time, I felt like there was no way I could completely remove myself from the tragedy here.

Commonly known as: I seem to be unclean!
Of course, Jian Jian did not feel too guilty, because at a certain moment he realized that with Octavian's intelligence, he would not have thought of a way to stop the port except war.

From this point of view, it is very likely that he did this on purpose.

As for the reason, Jian Jian thought of the late-night argument with Octavian when he was in Rome, and thought of a possibility.

That is, this scene is most likely the gift he was talking about!

He took the blame, but left a share of the suffering for himself to taste!

The next second she figured it out, Jian Yan raised her middle finger in the direction of the Mediterranean Sea: "Octavian, your grandma! I will ** you**!"

If you want to get used to sacrificing yourself, can't you change to a gentle way? Isn’t preaching enough? Does it have to cost human lives?

"Emperor, you are so amazing! What have you done with human life? A piece of bread! I will kill your ancestors!"

Matou Sakura, who was frightened by the sudden singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, tentatively called out: "Senior Jianyi..."

Only then did Jian Yi stop, let out a long breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and got to the point: "Xiao Ying, you stay and look after them, Bayi, let's go."

"But…"

"Don't worry, I will definitely be fine. Although I don't want to admit it, I do have some responsibility for making them what they are now. Please help me take care of them. Please."

Facing Jian Yi who lowered her head, Matou Sakura was about to agree immediately, but was stopped by Kama who was online for the first time.

"The enemy is someone who can easily deal with even the Demonic Pillar. Taking her alone won't help. It's better to just let Rider's sister stay and look after them. There's no danger here."

Jian Jian did not accept Kama's proposal: "Thank you for your concern, Rider, I accept it, but you and Sakura stay. If the situation is not good, I will ask them to take me away as soon as possible. This area is a spiritual place." Where the pulse is, you try to contact Kali during this period, and save your energy for emergencies."

Without waiting for Jiamo to object, Jian Yan looked at Stheno again: "You are coming too, your ability may be useful."

"Isn't the enemy a woman?" Stheno said lightly, "My ability is completely useless against women."

"She is indeed a woman, but the soldiers are all men without exception." As she said that, Jian Yan looked at Kama (Sakura Matou) who frowned slightly and seemed a little dissatisfied with her arrangement.

"The worst case scenario now is that negotiations fail, and we need to fight. Then we will have to face more than one enemy. When human reason cannot be implemented, it is necessary to retain the trump card. What do you think, love? Miss God?"

Jiamo was stunned. He had just met the other party, but he trusted him so much? Do you still regard yourself as your last trump card? Ah this...

Immediately, Jiamo became confused, especially Jian Yi's trusting gaze, which made him confused as to what to do.

"In addition, Sakura, didn't you say that you were troubled because the person you liked forgot about you and had a girlfriend? After careful consideration, although I am sorry for that girlfriend, I still decided to measure it for you. Tailor-made a seamless tauren plan!"

"Really?!" Matou Sakura, who was online, looked at Jian Yi in disbelief and looked extremely excited.

"Of course, who makes you my sister-in-law? Although it is indeed not good to do this, for your happiness, I believe that even if your sister knows about it, even if she does not support it, she will never stop me!"

The awe-inspiring righteousness in Jian Jian's tone made Medusa beside her feel very subtle.

Good guy, you are helping others to humiliate yourself!
Arch dams don’t have such plots!

In short, Matou Sakura and Kama finally stayed.

At the port, looking at the Pegasus and the Rider of the Wise Man fading away on the horizon, Matou Sakura said in hindsight: "Lord Kama, I seem to have accidentally solved an unsolvable problem for you. "

Kama:......

……

"Actually, you just don't want Sakura to be involved, right?"

In the air, Medusa suddenly said.

Jian Yi rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, if something happens to Tong Ying in the mortal world, Rin will kill me."

"In other words, did you already believe that a battle would break out? In the end, you still sided with humanity and wanted to fix this singularity?"

"Rider has a great IQ." Jian Yan cast an approving look, and then waved his hand, "But the second half of the sentence is wrong. I want to repair the singularity for myself. Only by repairing this singularity can I truly be with Leif. The king behind the scenes is on the line.”

Medusa sent a question mark: "Isn't that right? Didn't the instruction conveyed by Leif tell you to stick to this singularity? If this singularity is repaired, aren't you afraid..."

"At first glance, you are the kind of person who doesn't understand the boss's thoughts." Jian Yi shook her head and sighed, "Please think about it for a moment. Even if Leif, who holds the Holy Grail, fails, if I fail, what will happen to me if I fail?" Doesn't it seem very reasonable in a sense?

It would be really unreasonable if I successfully defended it!

In addition, in fact, the king behind him no longer has any illusions about guarding the second singularity. Otherwise, why would he send Leif to the third singularity after his failure instead of letting him continue to guard this singularity?
To put it bluntly, my failure or success at this singularity is actually irrelevant. Leif’s words that the king is paying attention to me are just polite remarks. Even if he is really paying attention, he only pays attention to me. It's just the result.

Moreover, it is the kind of attention that will not reduce the impression points even if he fails in the end like Leif. "

After thinking for a moment, Medusa realized that this was indeed true, and then thought of another strange thing.

That is, facing such an opponent, why does Simplified act like he has a high chance of winning?
"Where do your chances of winning come from?"

Facing Medusa's question, Jian Yan said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's the king from Leif."

Medusa:?

The chance of winning comes from Goetia's open attitude.

This attitude, which is like giving up on clinging to this singularity, is Jian Jian's greatest reliance.

There must be an opponent or enemy hidden in this singularity that even Goetia finds difficult or even difficult to deal with, so he made the decision to abandon this singularity!
Moreover, this person must not be Merlin!

He is definitely not a servant summoned by human reason!
Then, it seems that there is only one option left...

In the empty military camp, among the tents, a dark red figure gradually appeared on the empty throne.

The hatchling of the sixth beast, the Beast of Sodom.

Looking at the dying Nero tied up in the corner, Draco, holding the golden cup, was in a very subtle mood.

What he wanted was obviously for a master with the desire to save the world to step through the singularity. He had clearly sensed a little desire to save the world in the master from another place before (Fuyuki, Orleans).

But why did it disappear halfway?

Moreover, because the Roman Emperor Aigalu, whom he personally selected, captured Nero in this era, and Goetia’s decentralization of counter-summoning power made it impossible for human beings to summon servants to save the situation, the repair work of this singularity can almost be said to have entered the A dead end!

Ah this...

What's going on here?
