For the next half an hour, the atmosphere was in a very subtle state. Although there was no verbal conflict from beginning to end, and everyone seemed amiable and kind, Tang Hao felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
After all, it was very strange for a person like Yu Ji to be kind and amiable!
Fortunately, everyone was very restrained, and nothing happened. The preliminary conversation ended in such an amiable atmosphere.
"Then …"
After the conversation was over, the tea was finished, and it was getting late. Everyone needed to rest, so Tang Hao stood up and prepared to make a final conclusion.
Ding!
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
In the early 21st century, with funding from the United States, Japan's technology was very advanced. Although a high-end villa like the Enaka House was a product of more than ten years ago, it was still equipped with things like a doorbell. Of course, Miss Ling was an electrical idiot and never knew how to maintain it, so the bell sounded a little harsh.
Everyone in the house was stunned. Who was calling at this late hour?
"I'll go take a look." Enaka Rin stood up, pushed the door open, and walked out of the courtyard. A moment later, her slightly surprised voice came from the courtyard. "Huh?"
Her tone sounded a little surprised, but she did not panic. No one went out to take a look, and then Enaka Rin walked in with a person.
It was a girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was not very beautiful, but she could pass. She was wearing the uniform of Suigun School, so she should be Ling's schoolmate. Tang Hao searched in his mind, but he did not have any memory of this girl.
"This is my classmate, her name is …"
After Ling brought the girl in, she immediately introduced her to everyone. It was a name that they had never heard of before.
But then, Ling's expression became a little strange. "Tang Hao, she's here to talk to you. She said she has something important to talk to you about."
"Huh?"
Tang Hao was stunned. Then, he felt a few hot gazes coming from beside him. Among them, Yu Ji's gaze was the most piercing. He quickly shook his head. "It's a misunderstanding. This is a misunderstanding. I don't know her at all!"
Tang Hao said it confidently, without a trace of hypocrisy.
Because it was the truth.
Although this girl's looks were not bad, if the full score was 100, she would at most be 70 points. The girls in this room were all 90 points and above. They were beautiful and elegant. He didn't want to hook up with the 90 year old girls, but hooked up with the 70 year old girls? This didn't make sense at all. It didn't conform to his principle of valuing appearances at all!
"Miss …" Tang Hao immediately straightened his attitude and said seriously, "It's so late. What can I do for you?"
"Your name is Tang Hao?" the girl asked.
"Yes."
"Tang Ritian?"
"Yes."
"The despicable, shameless, sinister, and cunning Tang Hao Tang Ritian who only knows how to find someone to slap his face on his behalf?"
"Uh …"
Tang Hao was speechless. This girl …
"No, I'm the handsome, handsome, gentle, rich, and the best man in the world, Tang Hao Tang Ritian."
As soon as he said that, there was a sound of disdain in the living room.
However, the girl nodded. "Oh, so shameless. It must be you. I was asked to look for you …"
Suddenly, the girl's bright eyes lost their focus. Just like Misaka's sister, there was no focus at all. What was more frightening was that a man's voice came out of her mouth. "Hello, Tang Hao, it's me."
Everyone's expression changed. Before this, there was nothing unusual about this girl. However, at this moment, there was a hint of magic coming from her body. It was as if … someone was controlling her body to send a message.
Moreover, the voice sounded familiar to Tang Hao and Ling.
Ling was still thinking about where he had heard this voice before, but Tang Hao had already remembered. He couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a smile. "Shiro Yanfeng, I really didn't expect you to come to me in this way, or … should I call you Shiro Amakusa?"
"As expected, you've already recognized me." The girl smiled faintly. "When did it start?"
"That's not important."
"Indeed, after the previous battle, everyone knows each other very well."
"Hmm, you're good at playing the black key."
"Hehe."
"Tell me, why did you suddenly look for me? Since I know who you are and what you want to do, there's no need to beat around the bush. It's already so late, and you're controlling a completely unrelated person to send a message. I don't think it's just to introduce yourself. "
"Then I'll get straight to the point. I'm sending you a formal invitation."
"Invitation?"
"That's right. Maybe you'll find it strange, but I sincerely hope that you can become my companion."
Tang Hao frowned and sat down on the sofa. Then, he smiled and said, "This is indeed very strange. Just an hour ago, your people attacked us and almost caused us to suffer heavy losses. Now, you want me to become your companion. Mr. Priest, don't you think it's very strange?"
"Well, it's indeed a little rash, but you have the right. Or rather, your existence makes me feel afraid … Tang Hao, do you know the purpose of my participation in the Holy Grail War?"
"Do you want me to say it now?"
"Go ahead."
Tang Hao smiled. "Since you're making a sincere request, then I'll fulfill your wish … Shiro Amakusa, your purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War is not for yourself. You're trying to complete the reappearance of the Third Law through the Holy Grail War. You're trying to materialize the souls of all humans, give everyone eternal life, and then eliminate war, am I right?"
"What?!"
As soon as Tang Hao said this, everyone in the living room could not help but stare with their eyes wide open.
There were people who knew the name Shiro Amakusa, but there were also people who did not. Even Rin Harasaka did not know much about him. He only knew that he was a Catholic during the end of the Warring States Period. He once led tens of thousands of believers in an uprising, but was later brutally suppressed by the shogunate. Tens of thousands of believers, including men, women, old and young, were all slaughtered.
Of course, Shiro Amakusa died at the age of seventeen.
Although Shiro Amakusa had the reputation of being a child prodigy when he was alive, he became the leader of a rebel army at such a young age. In the eyes of later generations, he was more like a puppet that was pushed into power. Therefore, many people felt that it was a pity for him to die.
However, what Rin Harasaka did not expect was that not only did this guy participate in the Holy Grail War, but he also had such a purpose … to give all humans eternal life through the Third Law. That was crazy!
Rin Harasaka was shocked, Ilya and the others were surprised, and Youzhu began to seriously size up the "girl" standing in front of her. Even Wasabi Hinako and Patchouli frowned slightly.
The "girl" smiled bitterly. "As expected, from the first time I saw you, you gave me an uneasy feeling. Now I finally understand why. To me, you're like a prophet. You know everything about me like the back of your hand. It's really scary to have someone like you as an opponent."
"So, you didn't hesitate to expose your purpose to test me, hoping that I would join your side?" Tang Hao smiled.
"Since you already know, it doesn't matter if I expose it or not. So, I invite you again …" Raising her hand, the "girl" looked at Tang Hao sincerely. "Please help me, Tang Hao."
Although she was using someone else's body to convey her words, in the eyes of the "girl", Tang Hao could not see the slightest bit of hypocrisy or conspiracy. Instead, there was unreserved sincerity …
"But, I refuse!"
"Why?" The hand in the air paused slightly, and the 'girl' frowned. "You should know that this world will eventually move towards destruction, and humans will perish. This is a fact that has long been observed by magicians. The root cause is that humans have too many desires, and the constant disputes will eventually lead to destruction. However, if humans are allowed to achieve immortality, there will be no more wars in the world, and humans will not perish."
"I heard from Gilgamesh that you once saved a world, and because of that, you lost your magic. This means that you also desire world peace, and our ideals are the same."
'Magic?'
Rin Haruban looked askance at him. 'This guy is a magician?
Are you kidding me?! '
"Ahem …" Tang Hao coughed dryly. "Indeed, I once lost my magic because I saved a world, but this doesn't mean that I'm the same as you. To put it simply, your so-called method of eternal life is complete nonsense."
"Oh?"
"Isn't it?" Tang Hao slowly stood up. "Indeed, because the soul will not die, it will only decay along with the body. When the soul materializes, humans will also obtain eternal life. From then on, everyone will be equal, and there will be no more disputes. But … this is ultimately just your imagination. Humans are creatures that will never be satisfied. When the ideal of eternal life is realized, humans will develop new desires, which will then lead to new disputes. As long as there are people, war will never stop."
"So, as long as the seven emotions and six desires of humans are wiped out, this can also be achieved through the third method."
"That's why I said it's complete nonsense!" Tang Hao shook his head and smiled disdainfully. "In a world where no one will die, in a world where the seven emotions and six desires of humans are wiped out, it means that human beings do not need to eat, do not need to run around for a living, do not need to reproduce, and do not need to pursue the opposite sex that they like. They've even lost their ideals, their pursuits, their yearning, and their longing. All humans are like walking corpses, wandering aimlessly around the world. They no longer know how to love or hate. They can't even die … An endless life with an empty heart. Isn't this kind of eternal life hell?! "
Wasabi Nasagi silently lowered her head. Among all of them, she was the most qualified to speak about eternal life. There was no doubt that life without the hope of pursuing the future was a living hell.
"So, I won't help you." Tang Hao sat back down. "Your ideal and what I want are two parallel lines that have no intersection at all. Your twisted ideal …"
She looked up into his eyes.
"I will crush it with my right hand!"
