Apocalyptic Crossover: Starting with a Guide to Winning Over Asuna

Chapter 45 Your Wish

When the CCG arrived at the scene, they witnessed a horrifying sight.

The banquet inside the villa turned into a living hell, and everyone inside died tragically.

The bodies of the owl Takizawa Seidou and the bottle brothers lay outside the door.

The investigators completed their investigation: "The people inside the villa were all killed by the Bronze Tree. Lu Xiao then appeared and killed the three of them."

Yamen gasped: "Three members died in one night. Gao Gaiquan will definitely not sit still now."

Mado Kureo revealed a sinister smile: "Why did Takagi Izumi lead the organization to raid Lu Xiao's residence? Why is Lu Xiao relentlessly pursuing Aogiri Tree? There must be something fishy going on here. We must investigate this thoroughly."

"Also, notify everyone not to patrol at night for the next few days, to avoid incurring the Bronze Tree's retaliation. I can foresee that this retaliation will be very strong, hehehehe~"

Before we knew it, it was already dawn.

Lu Xiao found a new apartment and moved in.

He then went outside, and despite not having slept all night, he did not feel sleepy.

There was a bus not far away. Lu Xiao stood in front of the bus stop sign. One of the stops on the bus could take him to the Matou family.

Lu Xiao decided to visit Matou Sakura at the Matou family home and also to find out about her and Black Saber's fighting abilities.

When the bus arrived at the station, Lu Xiao swiped his card. Although there were still seats available, he chose to stand.

In case of any situation, he can react immediately.

A short while later, the car arrived at the next stop.

The bus stopped, and a man who was 1.85 meters tall got on. He was Xia Youjie, who was wearing five robes.

After boarding the bus, he squinted and instead of sitting down, he stood next to Lu Xiao.

Xia Youjie, Level 33.

Compared to the previous level 32, it has increased by 1 level.

The Command Seals in their hands both emitted strong fluctuations at the same time, but neither of them made the first move.

Both were participants in the Holy Grail War and their fighting strength was roughly equal. If they were to fight at this time, it would only result in a mutually destructive outcome.

"Which stop are you going to?" Xia Youjie asked, squinting.

"The Matou family, and you?"

"Me too."

After saying that, the two fell silent again.

After a while, the bus arrived at the Matou family's stop.

Lu Xiao and Xia Youjie got off the bus one after the other and walked towards the Matou family's house.

Both of them had the same goal: to observe their opponent.

"So what is your wish?" Xia Youjie suddenly asked.

"My wish? To destroy the Holy Grail. What about you?" Lu Xiao walked calmly ahead with his hands in his pockets.

"My wish~" Xia Youjie stopped and exhaled a breath of stale air: "I think the existence of humans is troublesome. Kill all ordinary people and leave behind a world where only sorcerers exist. That is my wish."

In Jujutsu Kaisen, the underlying logic is brutal.

Sorcerers hunt cursed spirits, but these spirits are born from humans. Sorcerers protect humans, but humans continuously produce more cursed spirits. The end result is that sorcerers die one after another in a vicious cycle with no hope in sight.

So after experiencing all sorts of things, Xia Youjie transformed from a sorcerer into a curse master, whose goal was to kill all humans.

Now that the Holy Grail exists, all he needs to do is win the Holy Grail War and make his wish.

"So, will you stop me?" Xia Youjie asked calmly.

"Of course, they will stop it." Lu Xiao stopped and gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

The next second, a rainbow dragon spirit emerged from the void and devoured Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao turned around and slashed at Honglong with his sword. The two collided and Honglong was knocked away.

The art of manipulating cursed spirits is a technique that Xia Youjie is proficient in. This technique allows him to bring subdued cursed spirits under his control and manipulate them at will.

In theory, he can devour and subdue cursed spirits indefinitely, and his strength will increase with each cursed spirit he devours.

Immediately afterwards, a level one cursed spirit, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, appeared and joined forces with the Rainbow Dragon to attack Lu Xiao.

At the same time, Lu Xiao's clone appeared and unleashed a breakthrough attack on Xia Youjie.

Xia Youjie sensed the killing intent and quickly dodged, but his body was still slashed by the clone's sword, leaving a deep wound.

Just as the two were about to fight again, a voice came.

"Ecalibur!"

The corrupted Saber suddenly appeared, and a sharp sword aura slashed through the sky, hitting the cursed spirit and separating Lu Xiao and Xia Youjie at the same time.

As the light faded, a massive crack, hundreds of meters long, appeared on the ground.

[Darkened Artoria, Saber class, level 33.]

Xia Youjie quickly withdrew his cursed spirit to avoid being destroyed by the sword energy.

At the same time, Matou Sakura also came out of her house.

【Matou Sakura, Affection Level 0, Level 20 (Not Darkened)】

"If you want to fight, I can accompany you, but we can change the battlefield!" Black Saber said with a sharp look in her eyes.

Black Saber was clad in dark armor, as dark as the night, and her eyes held only chilling coldness and ferocity.

Lu Xiao has now collected information on everyone.

He had no intention of killing Matou Sakura; he only wanted to destroy the Holy Grail. If there was still a chance for things to turn around, he hoped that the woman in front of him could survive.

Xia Youjie waved his hand: "I'm not playing anymore, I have other things to do, goodbye."

After saying that, Xia Youjie covered his wound and left quickly.

Black Saber appeared before Lu Xiao: "Why aren't you leaving at once?"

Lu Xiao looked at Matou Sakura not far away: "I want to talk to you."

Sakura Matou's eyes were vacant: "There's nothing to talk about."

The prolonged torment and despair had almost made her lose all hope of living. Lu Xiao could sense that her mental breakdown might happen at any moment.

At the same time, Lu Xiao also sensed the immense dark aura emanating from Matou Sakura's body.

A fragment of the Holy Grail has been implanted in her body, and she is constantly being corrupted by the shadows. She may turn evil at any moment and bring disaster to the city.

In reality, she was just an ordinary girl who wanted to be loved, to be saved, and to live on, clinging to a little bit of warmth.

"I know your older sister, Rin Tohsaka."

Upon hearing this, Matou Sakura paused slightly.

She was originally Rin Tohsaka's younger sister, but was adopted by the Matou family from the Tohsaka family.

After arriving at the Matou family, she suffered inhuman abuse in order to inherit the family's power. She was tormented by insects for more than ten years and was also violated by her brother. This is her current situation.

"So what if I know her? I don't want to see anyone right now," Matou Sakura said coldly.

Sakura Matou doesn't trust any strangers; her heart belongs only to Shirou Emiya, the boy who makes her feel a touch of warmth in the world.

Lu Xiao gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, but ultimately had no choice but to leave.

There are some things he cannot change.

Perhaps her fate was sealed the moment she was sent to the Matou family.
