Ren's moral integrity has almost fallen to the ground now, but he still has a bottom line and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
But in his eyes, Uncle Shen Er is not just innocent.
When it comes to evil, a kelp-headed guy can't compare to an old bug.
His most disgusting evil deed was raping Sakura, but other than that, he didn't do too many evil things.
Therefore, in the eyes of some people, Uncle Shenji is actually somewhat innocent, or at least he can be saved. He is a scumbag but he is not guilty enough to die.
However, from a motive perspective, he does not deserve sympathy.
"No one has ever forced Shenji to do anything. He thinks he is gifted and wants to inherit the family's magic.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't succeed, so he started to be jealous of you, who has magic qualifications. Due to jealousy and loss, his character gradually became distorted, and then he fell. He is not a victim, he is just bringing it upon himself."
Ren put a clean plate in the basket and spoke calmly.
'Brother, is it his own fault?'
Sakura bit her lip gently, feeling confused in her heart. Her purple eyes looked at Archer from time to time.
The girl did not refute, but listened silently.
"Sakura, you are different from him. Your father chose to send you away and Matou Zouken abused you... You had no choice in these things and had no strength to resist. You are the victim.
However, Shenji has a choice!
He is not a victim. If he chooses to accept reality and is willing to be an ordinary person, he will be a young master from a rich family and can live a very cool life...
If God does evil, you can still disobey it; if you do evil on your own, you will not live.
Since he brought all this on himself, he doesn’t deserve sympathy, at least I won’t sympathize with him, because people have to be responsible for their own actions!”
Ren's eyes were deep and he kept moving his hands, stacking the plates one by one.
Sakura was stunned, holding the hem of her skirt with her bare hands, but her eyes were very complicated.
Shinji has no magic qualifications and is treated as nothing in the Matou family.
In other words, although no one cared about him, which made Shen Er panic, no one forced him or asked him to do anything.
The old bug never tortured Shinji, didn't throw him into the bug pond, and didn't ask him to inherit the devil's path and participate in the Holy Grail War.
He put it all together himself.
He doesn't have the ability, but he wants to force himself to do it. Is someone forcing him?
No!
Inferiority and jealousy drove him to separation, so he raped and tortured Sakura.
However, Sakura had no fighting spirit and did not want to participate in the fight, so Shinji volunteered to participate in the Holy Grail War, created the "Book of False Ministers", and gained control of Rider.
However, what did he do after becoming the acting master?
The "wise" Uncle Shinji actually asked Sister R to place the "Seal of Others: Blood Temple", a precious phantom, in his school to absorb the vitality of people in the school.
Once this vicious treasure is activated, the ordinary people inside will soon turn into a pool of pus and blood, which will be transformed into magic power.
Everyone in the school is all Shenji’s classmates and teachers!
What kind of mentality does it have to cheat on acquaintances that you spend time with everyday?
The rabbit still won't eat the grass on the edge of the nest.
A slightly normal person would most likely choose to harm people who are not related to him. C's mother and Kuzuki Soichiro would not choose to attack the monks in Ryudou Temple if they wanted to collect magic power.
Fortunately, Shinji didn't succeed, otherwise the private Hogunhara Academy would soon turn into a ghost school. It would definitely not be able to continue after so many people died, and both Rin and Shirou would have to transfer.
The most ironic thing is that the kelp head can actually stay out of the matter.
For example, in the ending of the original UBW line, Tohsaka Rin risked his life to rescue the "harmless" Shinji from the Holy Grail Sarcoma.
After escaping from death, Uncle Shen Er finally thought about it. He gave up his pursuit of magic and lived the life of an ordinary rich second generation. He had no shortage of beauties and money and could continue to bully men and dominate women.
What's ridiculous is that he could live such a playboy life from the beginning.
He doesn't have to inherit the devil's ways, rape and torture Sakura, or participate in the Holy Grail War. He is a sure winner in life.
In other words, it was all his own doing that made him look like this!
He forces himself to do evil and suffers his own consequences. What is there to sympathize with about such a scumbag?
For Wren, this is the situation:
Hai Daitou, a person he hates very much and does not deserve sympathy, jumped in front of him and became his enemy... If we don't kill this kind of person, how can we keep him alive for the New Year?
"However, after talking so much nonsense, the most important reason why I killed Matou Shinji was that I didn't like him and thought he was an eyesore!
I am not a hero. Heroes are not as willful as I am.
I look at things around me with a kind of popular vulgar values, but the specific standards of conduct are set by myself, not according to moral laws."
Ren smiled slightly, washed the plate, and wiped his hands with a towel.
Popular values - that is, the views of most people: Matou Shinji, he is a rapist and a scumbag.
Ren's opinion: Basically agree with the above opinion.
Moral law: He should be despised, but the crime should not be punished by death, let him go to jail and be punished.
Ren's actions: spurn, stab to death with a sword, living is a waste of food, kill out of sight but out of mind.
"So, I am not a hero in the eyes of the world, I am not a partner of justice, and I cannot become Batman...because heroes usually save people and do things according to worldly standards, but I kill people and do things based on my own judgment."
The smile on Ren's face remained unchanged, and there was a bit of self-deprecation in his tone, but more importantly, he was domineering and free and easy in his own way.
Why are he and Jin Shining so incompatible?
Because he doesn’t tolerate him at all!
If anyone dared to scold him as a miscellaneous cultivator, he would retaliate with scum and cerebral palsy. If he dared to say that the Holy Grail was his, he would say that it was the Uruk Cup, and that the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City was built by the Gosan Family and has nothing to do with him.
nor……
A king who is all about himself and sets standards, and a madman who goes his own way and has his own set of standards.
All I can say is that the last time we were able to sit down and drink together, it was because of the great emperor’s respect, otherwise he would have lost his mind.
However, Archer's strange ideas and statements really surprised Sakura. The girl's mouth was slightly open, but her eyes were a little confused, and she didn't know what to say.
She originally thought that the other party said so many words to tell her that Shen Er's crime was unforgivable and it was reasonable to kill him.
However, Archer's analysis was very logical, and the conclusion was - I killed Shinji because I thought he was too annoying!
Archer did not stand on the moral high ground, nor did he refer to relevant laws, but used lynching according to his own preferences.
He does not pursue the legality of killing, nor does he care much about reputation or negative impact.
Seeing things from a more popular point of view, but acting according to her own standards, it is difficult for Sakura to understand this weird behavior.
"This guy really has no scruples."
Outside the kitchen door, Shirou also heard Archer's words. He did not agree with this concept, so he wanted to go over and refute him, but was stopped by Tohsaka Rin.
Because Ren deliberately avoided taboos and did not directly mention rape, but only mentioned torture, the young hero still did not know what Shenji had done specifically.
In his opinion, Shen Er's crime was totally worthy of death.
"Idiot, don't be impulsive, keep listening!" Miss Lin stopped his behavior, with curiosity in her eyes.
Unlike Shirou, who doesn't know the inside story, she is not a "partner of justice". She also knows the specific evil things Shinji has done, and she doesn't have much sympathy for him anymore.
Although if she was asked to do it, she would not kill Shenji in the end, but since Archer had done it and it was irreversible, she would not blame him.
At this time, the sunshine outside the window was very bright. In the kitchen, Ren stared at the quiet courtyard. The green vines had climbed all over the wall. The wind blowing was cool and carried the remaining bits of mist in the morning.
"Sorry, Archer, I can't understand your philosophy."
After a while, Sakura finally came to her senses. She shook her head and finally spoke.
Looking at her whose eyes were still dull, Ren just sighed slightly and leaned against the stove, his eyes as deep as the quiet water in the ancient deep forest:
"Sakura, I roughly know how much torture you have suffered and how many moments you have been in agony. You have been in hell since eleven years ago.
However, even so, I dare not say that I can understand even one ten thousandth of your pain, your emotions, your expectations and struggles.
It is too conceited to say that you can empathize with other people's pain.
Everyone is actually an isolated island. Only when we are far enough apart that we cannot empathize with each other and cannot always be close to each other, can we not be drowned in each other's sorrow."
"Archer, you..."
These words obviously hit the girl's heart directly. Sakura's body trembled slightly, unable to control her emotions at all.
The girl's eyes were red, and tears were slowly filling her eyes.
How many days and nights of struggle, how many times of crying, endless pain and wailing, and finally numbness... Who can understand her, and who can comfort her?
Sometimes, she would think of committing suicide, and sometimes, she would have the urge to kill everyone in front of her...
She didn't dare to tell her senior that she was dirty. Even if she faced her sister who rescued her, she would not complain.
Because her sister obviously couldn't understand her pain.
Ren walked to Sakura's side, lowered his voice in her ear and said softly:
"However, it's all over, and now you have the power to choose.
Sakura, I am obviously not the one who can redeem you. As for Matou Shinji, it’s not that I look down on him, he is simply not worthy of standing by your side and relying on you!
Why should you forgive a scumbag who has deeply hurt you? Or even love him? Even after he dies, he is not worthy of your affection.
The senior is obviously a good man, and his sister won't be an obstacle. It's fair competition, and they haven't established a relationship yet.
It doesn’t matter if you fail, there are not only rubbish like Shinji in the world, you can still find good men like seniors if you try hard to find them.”
Listening to this kind advice like an elder brother, Sakura finally started to cry.
"Archer, can I...can I hold you?"
"no problem."
Sakura immediately hugged Ren, tears streaked down the girl's slightly pale cheeks, and she leaned on his chest, crying softly.
Strength is like a lie, it is just a disguise.
She doesn't like Archer very much, but at least, she feels that he can understand her a little bit.
Girls need this little bit of understanding to vent their emotions.
"Archer, I'm on my way to the Einzbern Castle in the suburbs. I'm as busy as a headless fly. It's a good thing you have some free time to pick up my original Master!"
Complaints, words with a hint of ridicule sounded in Ren's mind.
There is no doubt that Sister R is very unhappy about this.
Ren just hugged the purple-haired girl gently, and Sakura cried like a tearful person. He didn't feel any enjoyment at all, so he choked back through the magic contract.
"Medusa, please stop me. I hate coaxing girls, but it won't work without coaxing her. She has too many negative emotions and worries in her heart."
There is no reason why Sakura turns black. She has been holding it in for too long.
Although the old bug has completely cooled down, the fragment of the Holy Grail buried in Sakura's heart has also been peeled off, so there is no possibility of Sakura turning black and becoming the Black Holy Grail.
But it’s okay to let her vent her emotions. After witnessing the interaction between her sister and her senior this morning, the girl became jealous and her negative emotions obviously surged.
Sakura had indeed been depressed for too long. She cried for a full quarter of an hour before she stopped. After leaving Ren's arms, she blushed slightly and said:
"Archer, I'm sorry, your clothes are stained."
"It's okay, girl, you can work harder from now on."
Ren sighed, his chest was already soaked with her tears, but looking at Sakura who was obviously more relaxed, he felt that he had not wasted time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Leaving Sakura cleaning in the kitchen, he walked out.
In the living room, Rin and Shirou were sitting upright and drinking black tea. Ren looked at them with a half-smile:
"Hey, aren't these the future Best Actor and Best Actress of the Tokyo Film Festival? I just finished peeping, and you are still so calm. Your acting skills are really superb. How about going to the sea to film?"
"Ahem." The honest man Shirou Emiya felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and pretended to choke on his black tea to cover up his embarrassment.
Miss Lin didn't blush, and her heart didn't beat. She ran in front of Ren, looked left and right, and pouted:
"Hey, Archer, I really didn't see it. You are a rude guy who can coax girls. I'm warning you, don't try to trick my sister!"
"Girl, you can pull me down. Think about how many beauties there were in my harem back then. They were pure, aloof, charming, enchanting... there were all kinds of them. Your sister's beauty is not enough to seduce me!"
Renn sneered on his face and reached out to knock the girl on the forehead.
Of course, what seems to be domineering and revealing is actually completely bragging. Back then, he was just a single guy.
Rin covered her forehead and glared at him, seemingly shocked by his words.
After all, Archer was once a king. Of course there were many beauties in the harem, the girl thought.
But she seemed to have thought of something again, and muttered subconsciously:
"Tsk, I didn't see anything except a pile of scrap metal."
Renn didn't take these words to heart, because at this time, Sister R had already arrived outside Einzbern Castle.
…
In the suburbs, the forest is so dense that it is even filled with fog.
The walls are covered with mottled moss, and a classical-style castle stands in the middle of the forest. It looks majestic, but if you look closely, you can see that it is a bit shabby despite its splendor.
boom!
Staring at the castle gate not far away, Medusa threw out a broken sword.
The dagger attached to the chain flew across the ground like a snake. There was only one explosion. First, the warning magic barrier shattered. Then, the magic traps along the way were triggered. The explosion ignited flames and dust flew up.
The energy of this magic bullet keeps raging!
This section of the road outside Einzbern Castle, out of caution, is filled with various magic traps and traps.
However, this obviously cannot stop a Servant.
"Miss, enemy attack!"
In the castle, the maid Sera hurriedly ran to the center of the hall.
Illya's face changed as she was eating breakfast, and she stood up immediately.
Who is so careless that he comes to the door so early in the morning?
