Chapter 542

【Gray: "Why..."】

【Just at this moment, a figure appeared at the bridge, it was Bersac.】

【"What's going on?"】

【He looked at the King of Bones' corpse and said seriously: "On the way here, Priest Fernand also died. There are traces of him having a conflict with someone unknown at the scene... let me say in advance, it wasn't me who did it."】

【Ilumia raised her eyebrows: "Ah? Does that mean you killed the priest!"】

【Bersac: "I said, it wasn't me who did it."】

【Gray: "How could it be..."】

【It's actually a serial murder case; did such a case happen in the first round too?"】

【Video paused.】

【Question: Who is the murderer who killed the King of Bones?】

Rin Tohsaka: "Is it the case-solving segment again?"】

Waver: "First Priest Fernand, then the King of Bones, will the murderer be the same person?"】

Kairi Sisigou: "With the King of Bones' strength, who could kill her so easily?"】

Kayneth: "Judging from the wound, it was a fatal blow at close range; I'm afraid it's someone she knows."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Someone who can make her let down her guard, I'm afraid it's someone from the village."】

Kirei Kotomine: "It's Gray's mother, Magdalena."】

【Ding! Congratulations to Kirei Kotomine for answering this question correctly, obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Ah! Sniped!"】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "This question is actually very simple; many scenes have already been given before."】

Rin Tohsaka: "Next time I will definitely be faster!"】

【Answering time ended, video continues.】

【"Snap snap... snap snap..."】

【The continuous headache made Gray raise her hand to press her temple, and then she heard a strange sound.】

【Just when Gray was attracted by that strange sound, the Second opened his mouth: "Did things really develop like this?"】

【Kay: "Did you know this situation would happen?"】

【The Second: "Bersac of the first round said that Gray's corpse appeared beside the Black-Faced Madonna, so no one would chase us. At that time, I thought the church was the crime scene, but it's actually very simple; it's just that there was another Black-Faced Madonna. Of course, Bersac didn't have time to explain at the time. Then, since this is not the past, I think it must be to patch the contradictions at this time to be logical."】

【Kay: "Not the past?"】

【The Second: "I have been thinking, then what is this place? If it's just a simulation, there's no need to teleport us to a specific time. What's important is what it is reproduced for, and what meaning it possesses."】

【Speaking of this, the teacher finally turned his gaze to Gray's mother.】

【"Magdalena, this is your name, right? Gray told me before. The meaning of this result is mostly known only to you."】

【"What, what do you mean?"】

【Magdalena's expression only lasted for a few seconds, and then she seemed to think of something and became distorted.】

【"How could it be... could it be, you are!"】

【Magdalena then ran over staggeringly, running towards the skeleton soldiers without any defense.】

Rin Tohsaka: "What's wrong, what's wrong? Why did it suddenly become like this?"】

Kairi Sisigou: "She seems to have discovered something."】

【The Second: "Trimmau!"】

【The mercury maid's arms immediately turned into blades, stepped forward to split the skeleton soldiers, and cleared a path to Magdalena.】

【"Tch! Really a lot of trouble!"】

【Kay gave a light tch and also drew his sword in response.】

【However, because it happened suddenly, the villagers on the side didn't have time to make any reaction.】

【When the skeleton soldiers were about to swing their swords at the villagers, Bersac smashed the skeleton soldier's skull with his giant axe.】

【"I am prepared to be an enemy of everyone, but I really can't sit by and watch my former compatriots die under the swords of these monsters."】

【Saying that, Bersac raised his arm and summoned a large number of spirit ravens to peck at the skeleton soldiers.】

【And in the chaotic battle, the Second walked to Magdalena who fell to the ground, reached out to pull her up and said: "Madam, are you alright?"】

【Gray still doesn't understand what happened.】

【Magdalena: "I..."】

【The Second nodded slightly to her and turned back: "Gray, Trimmau, can you still hold on?"】

【Gray: "No, no problem!"】

【"Then, I will continue the lecture."】

【The Second asked the villagers loudly: "Have you ever seen the true face of the King of Bones?"】

【Hearing this question, the old woman was silent for a long while and shook her head: "There is no need for that."】

【The Second: "Exactly, because faith is like this. God is God because of belief; even if exploring the true face of God is not a taboo, there will be psychological resistance. No, this should not be blamed, because I have also determined it that way. As long as there is a distance and armor is worn, the subtle body shape differences cannot be distinguished."】

【Old woman: "What do you want to say?"】

【The Second: "Just making a confirmation."】

【"This is a fact you cannot know; in the first round, Gray was in a state of confusion when escaping the village. The information about the village falling into chaos was just what I told her after seeing signs of turmoil. In the final analysis, if most of the villagers hadn't gone out, I wouldn't have been able to escape the village in the morning. Ah, so no one checked her true face in the first round, and it was determined that Gray died."】

【"Indeed, but what exactly does the teacher want to say?"】

【Gray blocked the skeleton soldiers while hearing the strange sound of 'snap snap snap...' in her ears.】

【That slowly accelerating sound seemed to surround the entire temple.】

【No, not just the sound, subtle cracks began to appear everywhere in the swamp surrounding the temple. It was clearly not a natural phenomenon, simply like noise sweeping across the world.】

Kairi Sisigou: "Hey hey! What is this?"】

Rin Tohsaka: "This world is about to collapse!"】

Kayneth: "What exactly is this..."】

【Gray hurriedly reminded: "Teacher, the swamp is cracked!"】

【The Second: "Mm, however, except for us and Sir Kay, others don't seem to have discovered it."】

【This is clearly not right; abnormal scenes occur frequently, but the villagers, Ilumia, and Bersac have no reaction at all.】

【"Our commonality is coming from outside this world, right? In other words, this means that people inside the world cannot perceive the world's correction, right?"】

【Gray: "Correction?"】

【The Second: "Time has the power of correction, which is a common saying in science fiction novels. In fact, in magic theory, time also has a certain directionality. Even if this is not the real past, it should have introduced a similar concept."】

【"The screening time of the play is set. No matter how grand and exquisite the play is, no matter how many times it is reproduced, the moment of ending will come, or it should be said that it will come precisely because of this. The forced, unreasonable, unchangeable ending Deus ex machina will come."】

Shakespeare: "Ah, no matter how the plot develops, the ending is unchanged; it is a sad fact."】

Rin Tohsaka: "Time correction, there really is such a thing."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Is it the result of Zebia and the others interfering?"】

Waver: "In other words, is this really the space-time of the past?"】

【Gray: "Then, why is the teacher in such a hurry to rush over..."】

【"That's right, this play only plays until this time, and will end here. So, no matter what, we must catch up. Because it is likely that only those who have welcomed that moment will be fixed on this stage."】

【The Second raised his gaze, looked at the King of Bones' corpse, and said quietly: "Gray, help me clear the path to the King of Bones."】

【Gray: "Yes!"】

【She immediately waved her large scythe and opened the way for the Second with Trimmau.】

【The Second brought Magdalena to the King of Bones' corpse and reached out suddenly.】

【Magdalena: "What are you going to do, Lord El-Melloi II?"】

【The Second: "Just as you can see. This is, her true face!"】

【Saying that, he took off the girl's mask.】

【Seeing the face under the mask, Gray was speechless.】

【Because, that face was not the face of King Arthur they thought, but...】

【Gray: "Mother!"】

【That's right, although the face under the mask looked younger, it was obvious that it was Magdalena's face.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Hey hey, what's going on?"】

Waver: "This, the spirit body of King Arthur, the face is actually not the same."】

Kairi Sisigou: "Could it be that Gray's mother is King Arthur's flesh."】
