Infinite Simulation: From Konoha to Katsuki

Chapter 117 The Disappeared Shinji

Class C of the second grade.

Following Fujimura Taihe's instructions, Li Xiang sat in the empty seat in the last row.

Because it was too early, he was alone.

If he remembered correctly, the hour before class at eight o'clock was the time for the club to exercise.

Due to multiple factors, the classroom seemed particularly deserted.

Soon Astarte appeared.

After confessing her status as a follower, she didn't have any scruples and could use her ability to transform into a spirit body at will.

"how is the situation?"

Li Xiang was flipping through an English book.

Because the first class is English class, the teacher is Fujimura Taihe.

He had spent some time in the clock tower, and he had no problems with English.

In his opinion, the content in the textbook is really simple.

"No enchantment found."

Astarte replied.

Li Xiang was a little surprised.

Because the very beginning of the story in the original work is that Medusa, the cavalry servant of Matou Shinji, set up an enchantment in the school.

Seems like a butterfly effect.

Many plots have changed.

"You can check how many masters there are in the school later."

Li Xiang thought about it and said.

Those who can be chosen as masters by the Holy Grail, unless it is an extremely special case, are magicians.

Since they are magicians, even if the magic circuit is not activated, with Astartes ability, it is easy to detect the magic power in their bodies.

"Ah."

Astarte sat across from him.

Li Xiang was a little uncomfortable being watched by her.

He raised his head and saw the softness of her eyes. After a slight start, he said, "If you are interested, I will give it to you."

"I have no interest in textbooks."

Astarte stretched out his hand to hold down the English book, leaned forward, his warm face was almost pressed against his, "I'm only interested in you."

After finishing speaking, he blew on him.

Li Xiang's heart beat faster and he quickly leaned back.

"Master, it's really interesting."

The corner of Astarte's mouth curled up, and then disappeared in front of him.

A boy walked in from outside the classroom.

Short brown hair.

Seeing Li Xiang startled slightly, he asked, "Did this student go to the wrong class?"

"I'm a transfer student who enrolled today."

Li Xiang stood up, smiled, and said, "My name is Li Xiang, what do you call me?"

"So it's a new classmate."

The boy was a little surprised, and said, "I am Shirou Emiya, you can call me Emiya at ordinary times."

"Ok."

Li Xiang shook his English book and said, "I still have to preview, let's talk next time."

"fine."

Emiya Shiro put his schoolbag behind his seat and said, "I also have to go to the student union to help."

It should be repairing the furnace.

Li Xiang smiled.

Emiya Shirou is undoubtedly that kind of warm-hearted existence.

It's a bit like a computer major being called to fix a computer.

Because of the projection magic, he often repairs electric appliances such as heaters.

After Emiya Shiro left, students continued to enter.

Occasionally, a few socially obsessed people notice the unfamiliar Li Xiang and chat with him.

Finally, before eight o'clock, the entire classroom was full.

Li Xiang looked around and frowned.

Why didn't you see Shinji Matou with the blue seaweed head?
If it is a temporary leave, there should be vacancies.

but no.

Li Xiang didn't understand.

But it can only temporarily suppress doubts.

The bell rings.

"Late! Late! Gonna be late!"

Fujimura Taiga yelled while sprinting in the corridor.

"Wow, good morning everyone!"

She wanted to stop her body, but she couldn't stop the inertia and hit the podium directly.

A thud.

The classroom was quiet.

"That... the teacher seems to have fainted?"

The students in the front row said hesitantly.

"You wake her up."

"No, no, no, I don't want it, I will be killed!"

"Then there is only one last solution."

A boy raised his right arm and said, "Listen to my password, one! Two! Three! Tiger!"

The whole class shouted out the word tiger in unison.

Li Xiang didn't fall behind either.

"asshole!"

Fujimura Taihe, a carp, straightened up and landed firmly, and said angrily, "How many times have I told you, don't call me a tiger!"

What an interesting woman.

Li Xiang couldn't help but smile.

"There have been several deaths in Fuyuki City recently, and everyone must have heard of them."

After the class ended, Fujimura Taihe said, "From today onwards, you can no longer stay in school at six o'clock in the afternoon, even for club activities."

Murder?

Li Xiang frowned slightly.

At this point in time, there were still several incidents, most of which were done by magicians and followers.

It's not that I'm not used to gas explosions.

Take the time to investigate what's going on.

But before that, Li Xiang had one more thing.

When school was over in the afternoon, he and other students left the classroom.

Half an hour later, there was no one in the school.

Li Xiang came back again.

Astarte appeared beside him.

"From the investigation, only Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shiro are magicians."

No Shinji either?

Li Xiang said, "Let's go to the Academic Affairs Office."

He came to the Academic Affairs Office according to the map he had seen during the day.

Turn on the light, and use the shadow clone technique.

"Find the information about Shinji Matou."

Li Xiang gave an order and opened the filing cabinet.

As long as Matou Shinji is studying in this school, there will be materials.

Astarte wasn't idle either, walking up to a computer and starting it up.

An hour later, Li Xiang recovered the shadow clone.

There is a massive influx of information.

But there is no information about Shinji Matou.

As if he didn't exist.

Li Xiang pressed the center of his eyebrows, which was undoubtedly unexpected.

There seems to be no line in the original work where Matou Shinji would not go to school.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Li Xiang turned off the light and returned to the ghost mansion.

"I heard about the murder at school."

He turned on the computer and searched.

Astarte stood behind him.

When the result jumped out, Li Xiang felt the pressure on his back.

He glanced subconsciously, and saw that the weight of Astarte's entire upper body was on his back, and both hands naturally hugged his neck.

A little soft.

Li Xiang froze.

"At seven o'clock in the evening on February 2, a couple was found dead in Central Park."

Astarte read the news on the screen, and his breath hit Li Xiang's ears continuously.

"At eight o'clock in the evening on February 2, a single young man died in Seaside Park... Well, there were thirteen people in total, all in the evenings of the last two weeks, and twelve of them were young men."

"You can't see anything by watching the news. You must see their bodies."

Li Xiang Shen Yin said.

The methods of magicians will be covered up by the supervisor, that is, the Church of the Holy Church.

It was declared to be an accidental gas explosion or an ordinary homicide.

"Ah."

Astarte rested her chin on his shoulder, noticed his somewhat red ears, and couldn't help laughing, "I just don't know if Kotomine Kirei took the corpse away."

"That's a problem."

Li Xiang was taken aback suddenly.

Because Astarte bit his ear.

Just when he was about to say something, she had disappeared.

"Master, there are guests."

"..."

Li Xiang was silent for a few seconds.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but recently he feels often being molested by Astarte.

He opened the door and saw Bazzett and a young man in vestments.

"Li Xiang, this is the Kotomine Kirei I told you about, and he is currently considered a magician of the Magic Association."

Bazzett noticed him and introduced him.

"Are you the second Master of the Clock Tower to participate in the battle?"

Kotomine Kirei smiled, and said, "I heard about you and Miss Astarte at the Twin Towers not long ago."

"Father is very well informed."

Li Xiang looked at him and asked directly, "Have you heard about the recent murder?"

"As expected of a magician who solved the mystery of the death of the golden princess."

Kotomine Kirei nodded, and said, "Those murders were indeed committed by magicians. Their bodies were all hollowed out, leaving only a thin shell, and the methods were quite cruel. If you two meet, must be careful."

Li Xiang frowned suddenly.

It didn't appear in the original.

Even if one wants to absorb life force and turn it into magic power, it is impossible to leave a shell, but a scrawny body.

"Is there any trace of the magician?"

Bazzett asked.

As an executor, she is different from ordinary magicians and has a more sense of justice.

"do not know."

Kotomine Kirei explained, "I'm the supervisor, and I'm only in charge of dealing with the aftermath."

"Feel sorry."

It was only then that Bazzett realized that he had a different identity from his previous partners.

"It's ok."

Kotomine Kirei smiled faintly, and asked again, "Where's Miss Astarte?"

"She hasn't come back yet."

Li Xiang made up a lie casually.

"I see."

Kotomine Kirei bowed, and said, "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."

After he leaves, Scathach appears.

She looked at Li Xiang and said, "We can try to find the murderer tomorrow night. My rune magic can help."

Bazet looked left and right, always feeling that he was a bit redundant.

But she had no objection and said, "Yes."

Li Xiang also nodded naturally, he knew how powerful Scathach's original rune was.

Finding someone shouldn't be a problem.

Li Xiang returned to the room.

Astarte was leaning on the sofa, holding a teacup.

"You were just..."

Li Xiang was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"It's nothing, I just don't want to see Scathach."

Astarte blew on the tea lightly, and said, "In case I can't help it."

Li Xiang was a little puzzled.

What can't help it?

But he could hear the abnormality in Astarte's tone, so he didn't ask any more.

"What do you think of tomorrow night's actions?"

"Since she has already proposed an invitation, she must give it a face."

Astarte put down the teacup, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "Master, it's time to sleep."

A moment of allure.

Li Xiang twitched the corner of his mouth.

If this continues, there will definitely be problems with his body.

"I'll take a shower first."

He turned and went into the bathroom.

When he appeared, he saw Astarte lying flat on the bed.

Just like yesterday, I took off my coat and stockings.

"Master, it's not healthy to sleep with clothes on."

Astarte turned sideways, blinked, and said, "At least take off your coat, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

After speaking, he opened his red lips and stuck out his tongue.
