Chapter 1476

Dan Heng turned his head to look at the girl still frozen in ice, his tone grave: "Star and San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue, are they truly safe and sound?"

"Actually, on your way back, Wengfaluo Si has encountered some situations again," Black Swan said. "Coincidentally, it's related to the two you mentioned."

Black Swan told Dan Heng about Star's ordeal...

Dan Heng widened his eyes: "You mean Star was taken hostage by an unknown 'Memory' Walker?"

Ji Zi nodded: "And that mysterious person's appearance is identical to San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue's."

"Saying that isn't quite appropriate—I didn't see it with my own eyes, only sensed a similar aura in the Memory Realm. What San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue experienced, we don't know. But I can affirm that if one sinks too deeply into that 'San Yue Xiaojie's' Memory Tide..."

Dan Heng urgently pressed: "What would happen?"

"Everyone present would be torn to shreds." Black Swan looked solemnly at the two. "Please trust my intuition."

Ji Zi: "... but I also equally believe in the 'pioneer' companion. This certainly isn't San Yue's subjective will."

"No matter what hidden truths lie within, we will spare no effort to find that 'San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue,' bring back Star, and restore the San Yue we know." Dan Heng continued, "I roughly understand the information of 'Erudition' and 'Destruction.' However, what role does the 'Memory' disruptor play in Wengfaluo Si?"

"Regarding this, with Black Tower Lady's help, I do have some new discoveries. As part of the transaction, would you mind if I shared this with the two of you?"

Ji Zi and Dan Heng exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison.

"Then... the Fourth Mirror?"

Only to see a shattered mirror with red whirlpools flowing through it suddenly appear in the room.

"Finally, it's my turn to appear? Oh dear, how grand!" The Fourth Mirror couldn't help but complain, "Really, I don't even know how long it's been since my last appearance!"

fate/zero.

"Would it tear everyone present to shreds, even Black Swan couldn't handle her?"

Alice and Saber exchanged a glance with complex expressions, both falling into silence.

Until now, they had only begun to roughly gauge Night Moon's strength; as a 'Memory' Walker, she might be able to go incredibly far on this path.

"I thought San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue was the one on the train most needing protection, but now it seems, as long as that other 'her' isn't afraid of being discovered by the Memory Garden's surveillors, this journey might well be drenched in blood."

"But, Saber, since Night Moon is so powerful, yet she still doesn't want to be discovered by the Memory Garden's surveillors—doesn't that suggest there are actually people stronger than her in the Memory Garden?" Alice asked softly.

"Not just the Memory Garden."

Shirou Emiya slowly stepped out from the shadows, raised his hand to light the cigarette at his fingertip, and said expressionlessly: "As soon as this power is exposed, San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue will soon be targeted by the Memory Garden, Company, Family, and many other forces—these people are a mixed bag of fish and dragons, hard to say they won't bring trouble to San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue—indeed, even the entire Soul Society."

"This cautious nature of yours is actually quite like you, Shirou." Saber coldly snorted.

"I'll take it as praise then." Grayish smoke curled up in the dim light, blurring Shirou Emiya's hardened face, "Besides, this Night Moon..."

Shirou Emiya only felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

To achieve San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue's wish to 'continue pioneering,' is her existence like the Holy Grail? As long as San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue makes a wish to her, she will fulfill it with the most direct and effective means, regardless of what must be sacrificed in the process of realizing the wish...

But, Shirou Emiya asked himself, if he placed himself in Night Moon's position, he would also unhesitatingly make the same decision and choice as her.

If sacrificing all of Wengfaluo Si could secure victory against the Iron Tomb; for the sake of saving the majority of the Galaxy, one must personally kill Wengfaluo Si's 'minority'—this is undoubtedly 'correct.' He would do it, just as he has done countless times before.

If San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue knew Night Moon's methods, would she choose to support her?

No, with that child's personality, she certainly wouldn't. So this matter can only be accomplished by Night Moon, and only Night Moon can accomplish it.

"This... friend is Black Tower Lady's capable assistant. It was it that helped you accomplish the 'Spirit Leap.' Moreover, thanks to it, I came to know the secret of that extreme rememberer."

The Fourth Mirror let out a string of 'hehe' laughs: "Thanks for the praise, raise hand—uh, raise mirror for the effort!"

" 'Through a mirror?' Dan Heng still found it unbelievable."

"The Memory Garden has strict decrees on gathering 'Memories,' but not all rememberers... are as proper as I am." Black Swan said, "The Black Tower Space Station often receives uninvited guests, and 'Quantity-Based Action' has never been their virtue. These Memory Thieves have been thoroughly cleaned out, imprisoned in the Fourth Mirror. The number is... remind me? I can't quite recall."

The Fourth Mirror deliberately made chewing sounds: "... I didn't count that clearly either. Just take it as forty-two? Bring more, I can eat them too!"

"I carefully decoded these 'colleagues'' memories; for each individual, each person's purpose is trivial. But when I pieced together their thoughts... I arrived at a conclusion that cannot be ignored."

On the eerie portrait, Iron Tomb held high the head of Erudition Venerate with both hands, like holding up a crown forged from dying deities.

In the blinding red light, Iron Tomb was trying to connect themselves to each other, as if intending to become the continuation of the Star God, or rather... to incorporate the Star God into its own 'Destruction' will.

"Flowing Light Memory Garden, in the dark, salvaging 'lost memories of the Mingtù'."
