Emiya looked at the cruel woman in disbelief. But the woman's hands had returned to their original state at some point, and the extremely ferocious expression had completely disappeared. She picked up a pure white cute puppy, which rubbed her cheek gently. The whole scene was extremely warm. If it wasn't in a dusty ravine. "Did you kill them?" Emiya rubbed his eyes and walked towards her. He wondered if his eyes were wrong as to why these hands could turn into such thick gun barrels. "For the sake of justice, such scum should be sentenced to death." She admitted her actions without any concealment, and looked at the mutilated corpses with contempt on her face. "So, what about the kid?" Emiya pointed at the child who had fallen into the ravine.
"Him? An accomplice!" She frowned slightly and thought, then answered Emiya's question very seriously. That's all! Emiya didn't understand and couldn't figure it out. Those nobles who treated the people like animals, even worse than animals, did not receive any sanctions. However, these civilians who bully each other will be punished with death. Even innocent people around will be implicated. The child who was forced was executed by the girl without even having a chance to explain. Yes, Emiya believed that the accomplice was forced. It's not because the kid is kind enough. But there was not a single intact part of his body, and even when he was dying, his expression was filled with fatigue. How could such a person have the experience to join those perpetrators in harming another person? He could only drag his tired body to complete the tasks assigned to him by those people in order to continue to survive. "Didn't you ask about them?" "Ask? They will definitely find all kinds of excuses to shirk responsibility. I only believe my own eyes!" She never doubted the rightness of what she was doing. Because she represents justice! "So, without any investigation, you concluded that all those people were criminals?" Emiya suddenly took a few steps forward and stood in front of her, questioning her in an extremely excited manner. "According to the laws of the empire, those who bully others must be killed! Justice cannot be violated!"
Without taking any steps back, she put down the white puppy in her hand, and suddenly moved forward, facing Emiya's eyes. "Law?" The Empire has such a thing? Emiya had not yet expected that the girl in front of him would actually state the laws of the empire directly in front of him. He really didn't know what the laws of the empire were like. After all, the nobles here were so morally upright that the laws could be said to be completely non-existent. Oh no. Facing the scene before him, Emiya suddenly understood. These righteous laws are merely weapons used by those in power to oppress the common people. Only these powerless civilians need to abide by these extremely [just] laws. "No matter what the reason is, those who are called bullies must be killed?" At this time, Emiya calmed down instead. The empire itself was a twisted existence, and it was meaningless to argue with her like this. Emiya just wanted to know what the girl in front of him understood about such laws, whether she was punishing those people out of her own will, or whether she was doing so because of orders from above. Also, he felt very uncomfortable with the fact that the girl in front of him kept talking about the so-called justice of the empire. Empire? Is there any justice in it? All Emiya could see was all kinds of filth! "Yes! Justice will be enforced!" With an extremely confident posture, she shouted loudly to Emiya as if she was swearing an oath. "If your judgment is wrong——" "No, my judgment cannot be wrong! Justice is justice, and evil is evil! This is something that will never change." Before Emiya could finish his words, she interrupted him with great swiftness. "Isn't it a sin to drag those innocent people into the disaster?" "They are merely necessary sacrifices on the road of justice. The road of justice is definitely not smooth sailing, and sacrifice is always inevitable!" "Why must they become victims of your path of justice? Can justice that sacrifices innocent people still be considered justice?" "If you don't even have the courage to face the innocent people involved, how can you maintain the correctness of justice! What should you do when you have to make a choice between 10 people and 10000 people!" On this dusty street, a man and a woman were arguing with each other in a very tense manner, as if they were about to fight, and they were ready to attack at any time. But none of them took action, even though the atmosphere was so confrontational. Although violence can solve many problems, there are many more things that violence cannot solve. Emiya is unwilling to use violence unless necessary.
So he would not attack the girl in front of him. And for that girl. Firstly, Emiya had no hostility towards her, and secondly, he was not a wanted criminal in the picture album. The girl simply regarded Emiya as an ordinary resident who did not understand the laws of imperial justice. She has always been very caring towards residents with good character, because her justice is to protect the people of the empire. Lubbock hid behind the door of the bookstore, listening carefully to the argument between the two of them. He suppressed his murderous intent towards the girl and dared not reveal even a single bit of it. Now Lubbock knew that he could not reveal his identity here, and he had to endure it. What's more, he was not a full-time fighter in the night raid, and his own combat effectiveness was much worse than those professional personnel. He always provided them with assistance. But when necessary, I can also possess considerable combat effectiveness. If I confront her here, I might not even have a chance to return alive. You have to know that she was the one who killed Hill when facing Hill and Main. Chapter 70: The Conspiracy That Is Hard to Escape In the end, Emiya and the girl did not fight. Both sides were extremely restrained. The street here had already been so devastated, and Emiya did not want to add new scars to the street. He suddenly remembered that there were still many people trapped under the rubble. With a look of regret and guilt on his face, he quickly ran to the ruins, looking for people who were still alive. The girl did not sit idly by, she quickly joined the rescue. Even though, this disaster was caused by her. Even though she participated in the rescue operation, she has no regrets about it. She believed that causing them to suffer by her actions was the same as rescuing them. The justice of punishing criminals and saving the imperial people who have suffered disasters are all for the purpose of enforcing justice. There is no conflict between the two. It was impossible for Emiya to stop her from rescuing her just because his ideas conflicted with hers. When it comes to rescue, one more person means more strength. After Emiya and the admiral were rescued, the imperial guards also arrived here. Having read the history of the Empire, Emiya also knew what the Imperial Guard was like. However, now, they are just weapons in the hands of the royal ministers wielding against the common people. It took such a long time to get here, and Emiya didn't believe that there was no trick involved. "Captain Seryuu, I am late!"
A young man at the front of the team saluted the girl with great respect. "No, the position of captain has always belonged to my master. I am just taking his place temporarily. You don't need to address me like that." Seryuu responded, waving his hands in the hope that they would not address him in such a formal way. "team leader?" Emiya recalled that during his previous conversation with Lubbock, he mentioned this person. It is said that he was punished by night raid because he framed many people. After all, he was communicating with Lubbock, and his ability to smuggle information had always been strong, and Emiya also received a lot of information about the current state of the Empire, as well as his praise for the Night Raid. As the intelligence chief of Night Raid, the information he had was also very solid, but he didn't tell Emiya all of it. He just shared with Emiya some things that everyone in the upper echelons of the empire knew. As for the civilians, they can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, so why would they care about the life or death of the captain of the Imperial Guard? These things have nothing to do with them anyway. Compared to the life and death of the captain of the Imperial Guard, many people will be found dead on the streets tomorrow if they don’t find food. However, Emiya does not have any good feelings towards Night Raid because of this. The assassin organization will kill people when they receive the reward, but the person killed just happened to be a scum who framed an innocent person. What's more, Emiya never believes in one-sided statements. Liva also told him about the indiscriminate massacres in some mansions during night raids. Never listen to other people's one-sided words about anything. Shirou also has his own judgment in his heart, seeing is believing. "May I have your name!" Just as Emiya was thinking, Seleu's voice came from in front of him. "Emiya Shirou." Seleu suddenly put his face in front of Emiya and stared into his eyes. "When you hesitated to execute those criminals, you lost your qualification of justice! I am pure justice!" After saying this, she left without looking back. Many of the guards looked at Emiya with mocking expressions and followed Seryuu away. "hesitate?" Emiya felt somewhat amused and helpless about Seryuu's words. It was because of Seleucus' decisiveness that such a horrific disaster occurred. The perpetrators were just civilians who were underfed and under-clothed. Even the guards who had just rushed over could have easily caught them. It would never cause such a big scene as the Seleucid did.
Nor would it cause such a large number of innocent casualties. "10 people versus 10000 people?" Emiya suddenly remembered the question she mentioned. He had no answer to this question and didn't know how to answer it. If he really had to choose, he might choose to do his best to save everyone instead of making a choice here.
