infinite death song

And by the way, get those mice out too.

"No problem!"

(PS: In order to be able to empathize with Father Mapo’s joy, I also ate Mapo Tofu at noon, and my tears almost came out. Sure enough, I am not very suitable for spicy food, so please don’t put too much spicy food...

The foreplay is finally over...)

Chapter 10 Creeping Chaos

Fuyuki City, Xindu.

This residential area located to the east of the Mion River was originally a new era new town built by developing the wilderness during the period of high industrial growth.

Today, the shadow of an industrialized city has completely appeared, and even the city government has migrated from the old capital to the new capital.

On the day when the Holy Grail War started, there were so many people on the street during the day, it was almost mid-November, and the relentless temperature of the north wind seemed to be indifferent to people.

In this relatively quiet small city, Emiya Kiritsugu was particularly inconspicuous among such a crowd.

Arriving in Japan from Europe, and then coming to this city, it is precisely because it is a long-lost homeland, so Kiritsugu has already gotten used to the environment here not long after he arrived on the day, and even blended into it very harmoniously. A wanderer who came back unexpectedly after staying abroad for nine years.

He bought a pack of cigarettes from a vending machine. He was wearing a black overcoat, looked down at the pack in his hand, took out a cigarette from it, bit it in his mouth and lit it, looking at this familiar yet strange place. City, the expression in his eyes immediately became complicated.

He has quit smoking for about nine years, and he hasn’t smoked any cigarettes since he entered the Einzbern family. It may be because there are no cigarettes available near Einzbern Castle, or because he doesn’t want his wife and Daughter worried.

However, now that the Holy Grail War is approaching and the mental and physical pressure is too great, he still found an appropriate excuse for smoking again.

Walking quietly among the crowd, he felt the aroma that quickly calmed his heart during the smoking process. This wonderful smell seemed to be experienced just yesterday.

Three years ago, he was preparing for the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, and had the experience of sneaking in here alone. Compared with three years ago, Fuyuki City now is completely different.

Although most of the environment has not changed, some details cannot be ignored. It is necessary to conduct an effective investigation of the environment here again to confirm whether the place where he set foot in the past is still suitable for his sniper stronghold.

After roughly visiting around, Kiritsugu returned to a hotel with his expression unchanged.

It's a cheap hostel for business, whether it's a family trip or a one-night stand.

So Kiritsugu's strange behavior is actually the least surprising one.

Go through the lobby and take the elevator to the seventh floor of the hostel.

He used the agreed code to knock on the door of [-]'s room according to the rhythm.

He didn't have any verbal communication with the person in the house, the other person just opened the door and let Kiritsugu come in.

It was a woman who opened the door. She was a beautiful woman with regular features, no makeup, and her slender eyes gave off a very cold feeling.

The silk-like black hair has also attracted many men in the past, but as long as these too sharp eyes are displayed, most men will probably be discouraged, thinking that such a woman is difficult to approach.

Her name is Hisau Maiya, and her relationship with Kiritsugu is extremely complicated. It can be said to be a master-student relationship, or a relationship between a boss and a subordinate.

But for Kiritsugu, this woman called 'Maiya' is a part of his means, and it is more appropriate to call it a 'tool'.

When I met her for the first time, she was still a little girl. After more than ten years of precipitation, the other party is already one of the few people Kiritsugu can trust.

In a sense, in his mind, Maiya's status is not weaker than his wife Irisviel's.

"Before, there was an action at the Tohsaka mansion."

Any words and deeds of Maiya can be called calm, and talking about things is also straight to the point.

As the local snake in Fuyuki City, and with a high probability of joining the Holy Grail War, Tohsaka Mansion and Matou Mansion are the targets of attention of all Masters and Heroic Spirits.

"I've already made the video, and all the necessary equipment has been delivered."

"Thank you for your hard work. Has the number of equipment increased?"

"Yes. Just to be on the safe side, it's more than double what it was before."

Kiritsugu nodded: "Where is the video?"

Maiya picked up the remote control on the coffee table, pressed the switch, and the screen of the Tohsaka mansion was played that night.

Maiya had been taught magic by Kiritsugu, and she has extraordinary talent in low-level familiars, and bat control is her proud skill.

But unlike ordinary magicians, the bats used for detection and monitoring do not use the characteristics of the bat itself, but install a small CCD camera on the bat's belly.Since the magicians used various kinds of magic, such as illusion, enchantment camouflage, and hints, they were used to confuse and investigate familiars. Therefore, at Kiritsugu's request, electronic devices that magicians hardly guarded against were used for investigation.

And Kiritsugu's judgment is undoubtedly correct, and his previous actions have also proved this point.

Magicians are not ignorant of electronic equipment, but disdain, disdain to do it, and disdain to pay attention to it. In their view, the pride of magicians is magic, and using electronic equipment is crooked.

Because of this, even though Kiritsugu had a cooperation agreement with the Magic Association, he was actually not accepted by the Magic Association.

On the opened screen, what happened before the Tohsaka mansion was captured by Maiya.

The picture is very clear, it is a heroic spirit wearing a skull mask, who is wiped out by a golden heroic spirit all over his body.

And the way of elimination was too shocking, a large number of strange swords, guns, swords and halberds escaped from the void, and wiped out the skull-masked heroic spirit.

"Maiya, how about this way?"

Kiritsugu got the news of Assassin's exit, and at the same time knew that Kotomine Kirei had broken with Tosaka Tokiomi, and after losing the heroic spirit, he immediately ran to the church for refuge.

What Kiritsugu wanted to confirm were other things, such as what the Heroic Spirit who took the place of the Tosaka family looked like, what the attack method was, and what information could be obtained from the attack method.

"Superficially perfect, without the slightest blemish."

Maiya answered Kiritsugu's question.

Kiritsugu nodded again, yes, it was too perfect.

The timing of Assassin's physical appearance, as well as the timing of the appearance of the golden spirit, are all too perfect.

For someone with a sensitive personality like Kiritsugu, it seemed that the golden spirit had known about Assassin's existence early on, and was just looking for a certain time to make a sudden attack.

Moreover, deliberately showing the figure of the heroic spirit is not like a countermeasure thought up by the Tohsaka family who have experienced two Holy Grail Wars.

All actions are too coincidental.

But the thing is... Assassin is dead.

Kotomine Kirei left the stage and took refuge in the church.

So, everything looks perfect.

From the break between Kotomine Kirei and Tosaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei sent Assassin to infiltrate Tohsaka's mansion, and then he was killed by the golden shining hero, and then Kotomine Kirei gave up the Holy Grail War with lightning speed, Take refuge in the church without dragging your feet.

Kiritsugu felt that each of them took a very logical script.

But it's only logical.

Herein lies the weirdness.

"The supervisor of the Holy Grail War last time and this time was called Kotomine Risei, and the master of the Assassin was named Kotomine Kirei, who became Tohsaka Tokiomi's disciple three years ago, and now these things are happening again... It's really interesting. "

Although it is not uncommon for magicians to kill masters and apprentices, father and son because of interests, it can even be said that this is a normal development of magicians in this world.

There are countless cases where disciples kill their masters, fathers kill their sons, etc. because of the "root cause".

Because of this, no one will doubt the connection.

In the eyes of many magicians, the breakup between Tohsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei is normal.

There is only one truth, either you die or I die, there is nothing to say.

"You suspect them..."

"Although there is no definite evidence, as long as there is one doubt, you can't let it go. Maiya, arrange familiars next to the church. Just one first will do. If there are too many, it will attract attention."

"Yes. But is this okay? Interfering with the operation of the church as a master is strictly prohibited by the Holy Grail War."

Maiya's tone was worried.

Kiritsugu said calmly: "It's just in case. If they maintain a fair and just attitude, I will naturally not do anything, but if even the adjudicator loses fairness, then the so-called referee can die."

Even if they were killed, the Church of the Holy Church would be in the wrong. The Church of the Holy Church had forcibly intervened in the battle of the magician.

In the past, everyone did not violate the rules, because magicians obeyed the rules, and the Holy Church also obeyed the rules. This is the bottom line.

But if the church loses justice and first violates the rules among magicians, then what's the use of the supervisor sent by the Holy Church?

Just kill it directly, there is no need to give face to the Holy Church.

"But these are just my guesses. Without being discovered by Kotomine Rizheng, just keep the familiar as close as possible. You don't need it to do anything. It's fine to hide in the dark. Let's put on a show."

"Yes, I understand."

Unable to understand Kiritsugu's intentions, Maiya didn't ask further.

She believed in the man in front of her unconditionally.

Over there, Kiritsugu has already begun to check the various equipment that Maiya brought over, and they are neatly placed in the room.

Very little is magic related stuff.

They are all modern firearms and weapons developed by recent technology, without the slightest magic power.

This is what Kiritsugu did, and it is also the origin of "Magician Killer".

He took advantage of the usual arrogance of magicians, thinking that apart from mystery, the only threats to them were their fellow magicians.

But few magicians can clearly see the changing times.

They are mysterious spokesmen, that's right.

But the mysterious spokesperson is also made of flesh and blood.

Stabbed by a knife, pierced by a bullet will die.

They thought that what Kiritsugu took out of the equipment bag was a spell or something, but it turned out to be a Gatling gun.

When they react, they can be shot into a sieve.

This is what happens when you disdain science.

They never realized, what is science and how far can science go?

Only magic is the way to go.

Therefore, Kiritsugu believes that to defeat a magician, one cannot rely solely on magic, but must rely on the combination of science and magic.

He believes that this is the inevitable trend of the future.

Magic can solve things that science cannot achieve temporarily, and science can combine magic to develop a more powerful and comprehensive magic science.

It's a pity that human beings don't know the mystery, and ordinary people who know the mystery have all been killed.

Magicians look down on ordinary humans and think science is crooked.

"This war is not just a contest of magic..."

Kiritsugu held a Huaser WA2000 automatic sniper rifle like a baby, loaded with .300 Winchester caliber bullets, and had an effective range of more than one kilometer.

Under such a sniper rifle, once those masters show up, can they react?

Stupid magicians!

Thinking about it, Kiritsugu suddenly sighed.

"what happened?"

"Speaking of which, Ilya is already eight years old, but she is not as heavy as this Huaser automatic sniper rifle..."

Kiritsugu dumbly recalled something, and started talking to himself.

With a faint pain in my heart, I recalled my daughter's voice and appearance, and the agreement with her.

He will definitely return alive, as a father.

At this moment, Maiya approached Kiritsugu from behind, and suddenly slipped into Kiritsugu's arms, which startled Kiritsugu and woke him up from the memory of Illya.

The maiko-like arm hooked around Kiritsugu's neck, and sealed Kiritsugu's lips with soft and dry lips.

At this moment, in Kiritsugu's eyes, the figures of Maiya and Irisviel overlapped.

He froze.

"Don't worry, everything will pass, right?"

Hearing Maiya's words, Kiritsugu remained silent with extreme bewitchment in his indifference.

I am really sinful.
