Public Executions Start From King Arthur

Chapter 7: Mystery is Coming



"Okay, Sister, I know, please don't worry, I won't damage the Pendragon family's reputation, nor will it affect the relationship between Japan and the Pendragon family. I will work hard, please don't worry."

Putting down the phone, Artoria sighed. The call just now was from her older sister, Morgan Le Fay.

This wasn't an accusation, but a condolence and guidance, telling her what to do.

The relationship between the two of them is very good, and Morgan is the second heir to the empire, far better than her, who is one of dozens of other heirs.

She respects Morgan very much.

Therefore, this phone call also made her feel very guilty, because she realized that she had caused trouble for Morgan, who even said that she would fly to Japan tomorrow.

"I really haven't made any progress at all..."

Artoria lowered her head, her mood was so bad that even her ahoge hair became listless.

However, while she was depressed, she also felt a longing, and the object of her longing was none other than the young King Knight in the light screen.

"If... I really have the same power as him, maybe I can protect my country and my people..."

"Come on, Kiritsugu, I cooked this for you with my own hands, but you have to eat it all without leaving anything. After all, this is the result of my hard work."

In another room, in front of the dining table, Kiritsugu looked at the indescribable dark dish in front of him with an expressionless face but dripping with cold sweat.

Looking up, a beautiful and smiling face faced him.

That smiling face was truly beautiful, with white skin, silver hair, and burgundy eyes. It all focused on the beautiful woman who was also his wife.

But on the sofa next to them, Shiro and Illya unconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look at their mother. The two little children sat shivering, feeling that their mother was really scary now.

But there was no other choice, who told the father to cheat? Even if the concept in the light screen slipped, still, if someone has to suffer, why not the father who made the mistake?

The thoughts of a dutiful son and daughter are very simple and boring.

"I never expected that in a certain possibility, you would actually become my student, Father Kotomine."

In the restaurant occupied by special guests, Tokiomi looked at Kirei in front of him and said slowly.

Kirei put down his spoon and wiped his mouth, his posture calm and upright.

If it weren't for the empty plate containing various chili oils and leftover tofu, which indicated that it was actually a plate of super spicy Mapo Tofu, those who didn't know would think he was eating Western food.

To be honest, Tokiomi wanted to stop him.

Then he heard Kirei say: "Indeed, I am also very surprised, Tohsaka-san, so what do you think of that video, is it real?"

Tokiomi pondered for a moment and then nodded. In this world without extraordinary powers, he has used all his talents in modern knowledge. He has a master's degree in financial management from Harvard University, so he has some knowledge of scientific hypotheses.

"Parallel worlds, historical modification, rewriting memories, all incredible things can cause the story revealed in the light screen to be forgotten by the world – including us."

"Although I don't know much about this aspect, I know to a certain extent that from the perspective of quantum mechanics, it is not impossible to change reality."

Kirei was silent for a moment: "Indeed, from the perspective of quantum mechanics, modifying reality is a reasonable thing, but is there anyone in this world who can really do such a thing?"

Tokiomi shook his head: "I don't know, but the arrival of the mystery has challenged the worldview we believe in, so it's not unacceptable if more amazing things happen."

"The key point, why did the light screen reveal this lost history? It's very difficult to understand just two of these histories for the world to know."

Kirei closed his eyes, raised his right hand, carried the cross on his chest and showed a pious expression: "Everything is arranged by God. The great God is not something that humans can understand. Speculating about God's will with mortal minds is the greatest disrespect and ignorance."

Tokiomi: "You mean, this is arranged by the God you believe in?"

Kirei: "..."

There was no answer, but the pious attitude explained everything.

Tokiomi nodded. He knew that it was useless to talk about this issue with the other party. He is an atheist, while Kirei is a devout church believer. There are also fundamental differences in the thinking patterns of both parties.

However, this also made Tokiomi realize that it was indeed too arrogant for him to use his own thinking to figure out the existence of this light screen.

Maybe as the words that appeared on the light screen at the beginning said, it was just to dig up the buried history.

Although it is difficult to understand, just like humans cannot understand the mystery, in this increasingly collapsing world, everything and everything that cannot be understood has become commonplace.

And as Tokiomi was lost in thought, the lights suddenly went out.

Immediately afterwards, a biting chill and instinctive fear surged into his heart, causing Tokiomi's expression to change drastically.

Because all these reactions indicate one thing.

A mystery is coming!

❀❀❀

Mystery, the enemy of mankind, the plunderer of life, the creature of chaos and madness.

Humans cannot understand the mystery because mystery phenomena cannot be explained by science.

The mystery is like a crazy mockery of the worldview that humans understand, subverting the scientific common sense that humans understand, and operating with unique rules.

One of its rules is the cluster effect called the mystery effect.

Its characteristic is that the area covered by the mystery phenomenon, and modern lighting tools such as electric lights will go out for no reason.

Either the wires are short-circuited, or the lights are broken, or they just go out inexplicably, and then they turn on again after the mystery disappears or disappears.

In addition, all humans in the area covered by the mystery phenomenon will feel a bone-chilling cold and a strong instinctive fear, and will naturally understand that they have become the target of the mystery phenomenon.

Those who cannot understand or understand the reason are like facing a mortal enemy engraved in their genes, and like the mystery phenomenon deliberately reminding humans that they have arrived, and humans must fall into fear and despair.

This is what is happening now, Tokiomi feels it, and Kirei also feels it.

Tokiomi unconsciously took out his phone and quickly pressed the screen, but he didn't try to turn on the light on his phone because it definitely wouldn't turn on.

This is what the mystery phenomenon brought into human science that cannot be understood. All devices that can provide reliable light sources are ineffective. Only unstable and dim light sources, such as pressing the phone screen, are useful.

Kirei took out his phone and tried to turn on the light. Sure enough, it failed, so he could only use the weak light source on the phone screen for lighting.

At the same time, a sharp siren sounded.

"Warning, we are facing a mystery invasion! Warning, we are facing a mystery invasion! Attention, all units, evacuate immediately! If you see a mystery phenomenon, act according to safety regulations!"

"Warning, meeting...beep~"

The alarm sounded, and it ended so suddenly and without warning. There was only a busy tone and a buzzing sound in the air, which only added to the fear in everyone's hearts.

However, no one dared to shout, because when facing a mystery attack, shouting would only increase the possibility of a mystery attack.

At this moment, two staff members from Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures came. They were already sweating, but they still said professionally: "You two, please come with us, and we will take you to emergency evacuation!"

Tokiomi was very anxious, but he was highly educated and asked in a deep voice: "Where are my wife and daughter?"

Staff: "Don't worry, there are staff who can find them, and all the key personnel of the light screen incident will arrange priority evacuation!"

Hearing this, Tokiomi breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't say anything about the teammates who were going to meet his wife and daughter. He knew it would only endanger them all, so he could follow the arrangements of the professionals.

Facts prove that Tokiomi is right, because the professionals from Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures immediately called all the people involved in the light screen imaging to move.

At the same time, the elite combat team was also fully armed and took action.

Although the mystery attack was sudden, Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures did not lose control.

However, the situation was so sudden that it was difficult for everyone to understand it.

As the highest leader of the countermeasures room, the head of the room, Murata, frowned and asked his subordinates: "What happened? Why are we suddenly facing a mystery attack here?"

A staff member who looked like an assistant next to him looked at the special tablet in his hand, which provided real-time data. But after seeing the data, his expression became very unpleasant.

Then he said to Murata: "Chairman, according to the data, this mystery disaster is not a new disaster, but a known disaster. Through analysis, it should be a level four disaster: Song Girl."

Murata's expression suddenly changed drastically, and his body trembled violently.

Currently, every country in the world has its own mystery ranking standard, and Japan divides mystery disasters into seven levels.

Japan has always been low-key about this kind of disaster, and will not give any cool codenames, which are divided into seven levels.

Level one is a low-hazard level, which can cause casualties to ordinary people, but generally the number is small, only one to a few people.

Level two is a hazard level, which can cause casualties of dozens to hundreds of people and pose a great threat to people's lives and property.

Level three is a high-hazard level that can directly cause damage to a region.

Level four is a city destruction level, which can destroy a city.

Level five is a terrifying level that can destroy many cities and kill millions of people.

Level six is a national destruction level, which can destroy small and medium-sized countries.

Level seven is a civilization collapse level, once it happens, major countries like China and even the entire human civilization on Earth can be destroyed in the disaster.

Simple and easy to understand, and anyone can clearly understand the hazard level of the mystery disaster in an instant.

But because it is simple and easy to understand, it makes people feel scared and trembling.

The secret of the codename Song Girl is that a level 4 disaster has already appeared, and its area of activity is the Tokyo region.
