Araya Sōren didn't want to think about it anymore. He turned around and tried to run away in another direction, but Lin Ye was not about to give him that chance.
brush!
"With the Six Paths Realm here in Xiaochuan Apartment, you can escape at any time, but unfortunately... this apartment is too small."
A bright katana appeared directly in Lin Ye's hand!
Lin Ye Muramasa!
"Goodbye, Araya Sōren."
Lin Ye swung his katana down! Boom!!! Instantly, a blue light streaked from the top of the apartment building to the bottom!
Under the bright light, the entire apartment building began to collapse, and in that light, a figure immediately began to flee!
"This man! He's an absolute monster!"
Araya Sōren starts to run away. What should he do? How can he escape from here?
The answer is 0.
"The Twisted Mystic Eye!"
Click!
In an instant, Araya Sōren felt his limbs twisting and turning. He saw Lin Ye leading Ryougi Shiki step by step toward him.
"Stop running, it's all over, Araya Sōren."
"Cough cough..." Lying on the ground, Araya Sōren kept spitting out blood. He looked at Lin Ye in front of him and laughed, "You are very strong, but you have not used such great power on the right path."
"The right path? What is right? Are you right? Or am I right?" Lin Ye looked at Araya Sōren in front of him, his eyes filled with pity. Araya Sōren said in a low voice, "You know everything about me. You should know that I have seen too many people saved, but what about those lives that were not saved? But if I can reach the source, then everything will be different."
"Speak carefully, Araya Sōren. Saving the world is not a reason for you to persecute Ryougi Shiki. Sacrificing one person for the lives of the whole world sounds noble, but have you even asked Ryougi Shiki's opinion? You know the trolley problem, right?"
"Of course I know, I will pull down the lever to save those five people."
"No, what I want to tell you is that you're just a bystander passing by with a plunger. What right do you have to choose who to save?"
what?
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Araya Sōren suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha!! I'm just a passerby! I'm just a passerby!"
"Humanity doesn't need you to save it, and you're not qualified to save it. What you're pursuing isn't salvation at all, but just arrogant emptiness. You place yourself in a higher position as a savior, but you're just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who can't do anything."
"I can do it! If I just try a little harder, I can succeed!"
"No, you won't succeed, because... I'm here."
Lin Ye approached Araya Sōren and said to her with his head down, "Actually, even without me, you wouldn't have succeeded, because you... were wrong from the very beginning."
Lin Ye didn't give Araya Sōren a chance to say his last words. His eyes flashed, and his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception opened!
brush!
A flash of cold light, and Araya Sōren's corpse fell to the ground, then began to turn into dust and disappear into the sky.
As Araya Sōren disappeared, Lin Ye turned to look at Ryougi Shiki in front of him and said, "I'm sorry, I killed someone, and it was an 'innocent person' who did nothing."
This is why Lin Ye initially didn't want to bring Ryougi Shiki. Killing is a major taboo for Ryougi Shiki. In the original timeline, Araya Sōren had already made a mistake and could no longer be considered human, so killing him wouldn't be a problem.
However, in this timeline, Araya Sōren hadn't had time to do anything yet. Legally and logically, he didn't deserve to die, but Lin Ye still killed him without hesitation because Lin Ye felt that, morally speaking, someone who wanted to harm others should already die.
At this moment, listening to Lin Ye's words and looking at Araya Sōren who was still turning into ashes, Ryougi Shiki felt for the first time in her life that this man deserved to die.
Ryougi Shiki rarely hates anyone; her killing is a form of redemption. But at this moment, she truly hates Araya Sōren, not because he wanted to harm her, but because... he hurt Rin Ye.
"What are you talking about? If killing him is a sin, then that sin should also be my sin at its source. It wasn't you who killed him... it was me."
Ryougi Shiki isn't stupid. How could she possibly hold a grudge against Lin Ye because of Araya Sōren? If murder is a sin, then she is willing to bear that sin herself, rather than let Lin Ye bear it for her.
Hearing Ryougi Shiki's words, Lin Ye was also stunned, and then he smiled and said, "Then... let's split this sin in half. From now on, we two murderers can only atone for our sins together forever."
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Ryougi Shiki nodded silently, then turned around and grasped Lin Ye's hand.
At that moment, the two figures embraced each other.
Meanwhile, Araya Sōren, who had completely vanished, had only one sentence in his mind.
Kill me to entertain you two.
Good grief, are you guys in 423 feeling ashamed and killing me? That's clearly a disguised confession! Don't you think you've gone too far?!
Even as I, Teemo, am dying, I still have to be fed a mouthful of dog food by you guys!
"However... this is probably the only good thing I've ever done."
Araya Sōren has completely disappeared, but Ryougi Shiki and Rin Yoru will never disappear.
Even if they have already achieved immortality, the two will live together forever.
Until...the end of the world.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Aozaki Touko, who had actually arrived some time ago, silently took a deep drag on her cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground. Finally, she turned to her assistant, Asagami Fujino, and said, "Alright, it seems they don't need my help. People as strong as them don't need my help."
Hearing Aozaki Touko's words, Asagami Fujino lowered her head in embarrassment.
At this moment, Aozaki Touko turned her gaze to Lin Ye below and said to Asagami Fujino, "Alright, let's go over and get to know him. This kind of person might be able to become a valuable client for our Galan in the future. We should get to work, otherwise... you won't be able to pay salaries."
Sigh, don't let Aozaki Touko's status as a Grand Magician fool you, this Grand Magician... is actually quite poor.

Chapter 179 The Deal with Aozaki Touko
clap clap clap!
Amidst applause, Aozaki Touko walked towards Lin Ye and Ryougi Shiki.
"What a beautiful battle! My old classmate's strength is still quite formidable. I never imagined that he wouldn't even have a chance to resist you."
Aozaki Touko didn't hold back her praise, and Lin Ye also focused his attention on Aozaki Touko.
Is this the pain of Aozaki Touko...?
"You flatter me." Lin Ye nodded modestly, then turned his gaze to Asagami Fujino behind Aozaki Touko.
"It seems you've found the right path. Congratulations."
Asagami Fujino's Twisted Mystic Eyes had helped Lin Ye countless times, so Lin Ye naturally had a deep impression of her.
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Asagami Fujino looked at Lin Ye with embarrassment.
"Um... thank you for your guidance back then."
Asagami Fujino also didn't forget Lin Ye. Although she and Lin Ye only had a brief connection in the simulation, it was this connection that completely changed her fate, so she was naturally very grateful to Lin Ye.
"So... let's save our reminiscing for later." Aozaki Touko extended a hand to Lin Ye. "Let me introduce myself, Aozaki Touko."
"I've heard so much about you. My name is Lin Ye."
Lin Ye extended a hand to Aozaki Touko, and at that moment, the two became acquainted. "This is my business card. If you need my help in the future, feel free to contact me. However, it's better to keep in touch occasionally, after all..."
"...I'm still under a sealed-off period, and you might not be able to find me anytime soon."
Designated Sealing: Under the guise of "protection," the Mage's Association detains some magicians who have outstanding talents or have violated taboos, much like specimens preserved in formalin. Once designated as sealed, it is no different from being dead, which is why Aozaki Touko is currently homeless.
As Aozaki Touko finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Lin Ye in front of her, saying, "By the way, aren't you going to capture me and send me back to the Clock Tower? I'm quite valuable. 々."
"Hehe, I don't think anyone in this world can catch you, Aozaki Touko." Lin Ye could easily tell that Aozaki Touko was testing him.
Aozaki Touko, a Grand Doll Maker, has reached a level of doll-making skill that is so realistic that it is indistinguishable from the real thing; in other words, the dolls she creates are real.
It is said that she created countless "Aozaki Touko", and as soon as one of them dies, another will immediately wake up and be exactly the same as the original.
I'm afraid even Aozaki Touko herself can't tell where she put her original body now.
"Furthermore... once the Mage's Association finds out about my existence, they'll probably seal me away, right? Although I'm not afraid of them, it will still be very troublesome. With Lin Ye's current strength, he's almost on par with the gods of the Age of Gods, so ordinary magicians certainly can't catch him."
Unless someone like the Jewel Elder is sent out, no one can stop Lin Ye from leaving if he wants to. As for the Mage's Association sending out the Jewel Elder... are you kidding me? The Jewel Elder is at a whole level; who could possibly command him?
"By the way, speaking of dolls... can I place an order with you?" Lin Ye suddenly remembered something important. "About nine and a half years from now, I will be going to Fuyuki City to participate in a Holy Grail War. I need a vessel to summon the Holy Grail. I would like to trouble you to make one for me. The price is negotiable."
"An artificial human? A vessel for the Holy Grail? Those things are troublesome... but... I can still make them."
Aozaki Touko is, after all, a Grand Puppeteer. Her homunculus technology is a level above that of the Einzbern family, so making a Holy Grail vessel is no problem for her.
"How will I give it to you then?"
"Nine years from now, you can send it directly to the Tohsaka family in Fuyuki City. Oh, and here's the deposit."
brush!
Lin Ye snapped his fingers, and a small box of gold fell directly out of the imaginary space.
