infinite death song

However, his heart has indeed become weak.

In the past, he would not have made such a stupid prelude.

Instead, the bomb was installed directly, regardless of whether there was anyone inside, and it exploded directly.

Because the arson was the premise, although it gave the tenants inside time to escape, it also made Kenneth aware that someone was working against him.

If Kenneth also escaped, then everything he did would be useless.

But he still did such superfluous things, driving innocent tenants out in an obvious way of arson.

For Kiritsugu, this was an incomparably fatal romance.

He didn't know why Kenneth didn't escape with him, he stayed inside foolishly knowing that the enemy was coming.

Knowing that the highest-level magic workshop is arranged inside, do you think the enemy will come and invade without investigating?

Or is it simply because of his identity as a magician that he is always proud of him as a magician killer?

In short, the ending is undoubtedly in favor of one's own side.

However, this sensibility must be discarded as soon as possible.

There is still time to adjust.

If at a critical moment, such sensibility would definitely be unceremoniously killed by the opponent.

After stabilizing his mood, Kiritsugu took out a cigarette from the cigarette case again and lit it, smoking lightly, taking away his sorrow.

I really regressed.

He always thought that his regression was a regression in firearms.

Only now did I understand that my retreat was not a gun, but that I was no longer cold-blooded and became emotional.

I have a weakness.

The enemy can dismantle his inner weak defenses from within.

Irisviel...Illya...and even Maiya, the faces of these three people kept lingering in his mind, making his expression complex and dignified.

Just as he was about to leave here, a few pieces of paper suddenly floated down from the sky, which happened to land in front of Kiritsugu, and he subconsciously caught it.

These pieces of paper are brand new photos one after another, and the content displayed on the photos made Kiritsugu's expression change, and his body stiffened in place, unable to move.

Illya...has been held hostage! ?

(PS: Where there is loli suffering, there is the resistance of Douluo fighters...)

No.17 Sakura and Tokiomi's Father ([-])

How could Illya be held hostage?

Damn it!What exactly is going on?

Why did things turn out this way?

who did it?

What happened at Einzbern Castle?

What is the other party's purpose?

Questions kept popping up from Kiritsugu's heart, but no matter what assumptions Kiritsugu made, Kiritsugu couldn't understand the purpose of those who kidnapped Illya.

Is the opponent's target the Einzbern family?

Or is it the target?

Over the years, as a magician killer, he had offended many people in the world of magicians. It was only natural that the relatives or friends of the magicians killed by him would seek revenge from him.

Naturally, there is another possibility.

That is the opponent's goal and the Holy Grail.

They are using the daughter of Illya to restrict and manipulate him in order to obtain the Holy Grail.

This is where things get tricky.Kiritsugu's expression was solemn, knowing that the direction of the matter was getting more and more deviated from the track he planned.

If this continues, the hope for how to obtain the Holy Grail will become even slimmer.

Behind a photo, there is a string of mobile phone numbers, which seems to be the only way to contact them.

After hesitating for a moment, I stuffed these photos into my pocket, and didn't confirm it at the first time.

He needs to calm down his mind now, not to be disturbed by these photos.

Incompetent rage and anxiety are always the most useless things in combat.

calm……

calm……

There must be some way to stop this.

Before that, he needs to confirm some things.

After all, I can't confirm that Ilya was kidnapped just by looking at the photos, and I won't contact the suspected kidnapper for the time being.

I still have a short time to think.

Just do it.

The cold wind blowing head-on made Kiritsugu's face turn pale.

The fingers that pinched the cigarette trembled unnaturally.

"Hey, Maiya, it's me, I have something to do now..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of fierce fighting came from the earphone, causing Kiritsugu's expression to change slightly.

"Maiya—"

◆

Steel Watchtower.

Hisau Maiya knelt on one knee and remained motionless until the 32nd floor of the Hyatt Building fell from the sky, monitoring every move there with a night vision device that can see far.

When it is confirmed that the 32nd floor of the Hyatt Building was blasted and fell off the top of the building, you know that your surveillance mission is complete.

Magician Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald was not seen escaping, and if there was, she would have been responsible for blowing his head out of the air with a sniper rifle.

The bombing mission ended in this way, Maiya Hisau put the sniper rifle in the box, stood up with her back on her back, and when she was about to go down the stairs from when she came——

A strange smell lingers around.

As a battle-tested warrior, Maiya directly felt the sharp murderous aura that was almost frozen in the air.

Maiya scanned her surroundings vigilantly, but no one was seen in the empty reinforced concrete building.

But she didn't let go of her guard because of this, and stood there motionless. Only in this way, people in the dark would also not easily attack.

"It's really sharp, miss."

It was a deep and stern voice, echoing in the dark and deserted building with not much light. It was impossible to tell where the sound source came from, but it was on this floor.

Maiya still stood where she was, neither responded nor moved.

Relying on the keen intuition honed on the battlefield, he felt where the enemy might sneak attack from, while pulling out a Glock 17 9mm pistol.

Although Maiya was educated and taught magic by Kiritsugu, her favorite weapon for killing people is still a modern firearm similar to Kiritsugu.

"Heh, she is really a very enlightened woman. Don't worry, I just have a few questions I want to ask."

The man hiding in the darkness said with a smile.

Then, something rolled to Maiya's feet.

Maiya instantly pointed the pistol at that thing.

It was the carcass of a small animal—

bat.

And this little bat also has a CCD camera in its abdomen.

This is the missing familiar that Maiya placed in Fuyuki Church to monitor Father Kotomine Risei and the master Kotomine Kirei of the dead Assassin.

The corpse of this familiar was brought here specially, so Maiya knew who it was without guessing.

"Kotomine Kirei..."

"You've lost your composure. We should have met for the first time, but you guessed my identity accurately. You must have set this familiar."

Kirei came out from behind the pillar where he was hiding, facing the pistol in Maiya's hand, even though he was pointed at by the black muzzle of the gun, Kirei's expression did not change.

Wearing a dark black monastic uniform, his whole body is full of majesty and oppression.

With serious eyes, Maiya took a step back subconsciously.

"From your previous actions, is there someone hiding on the 32nd floor of the Hyatt Hotel? Is it one of the masters of this Holy Grail War?"

"This has nothing to do with you, you have already lost this war."

Maiya said coldly.

"Do you really think so? If so, why did you deliberately bring such a thing to the church for monitoring? Do you think such a small thing can completely avoid my eyes and ears?"

Kirei smiled slightly, and then turned his gaze to the top of the exploded building, which had already turned into a burning ruin.

"That's right, he is such a man. Even though I haven't met him personally, I also know that Emiya Kiritsugu is the only magician who uses such science."

"..."

Maiya remained silent.

These two men are really strange.

Kotomine Kirei knew about Emiya Kiritsugu.

And Emiya Kiritsugu was also very concerned about Kotomine Kirei.

They are attracted to each other... Maiya thinks this may be a bad relationship.

But now, you must get out of this predicament that is not good for you.

He must want to find Kiritsugu's whereabouts through himself.

So, before Kirei could speak again, Maiya directly pressed the trigger, and the bullet flew out.

What the bullet hit was not the heart under the monk's uniform, but the ground made of reinforced concrete.

Kirei dodged the bullet with an unbelievable speed in Maiya's eyes.

No...he's not as fast as a bullet.

It's just that he saw through all of Maiya's actions and evaded in advance, which created the illusion that his speed was faster than the bullet.

This kind of reaction, as well as the ability to predict and think, is no longer a field that normal people can achieve.

"Where is that man, Emiya Kiritsugu?"

Maiya saw blood on her right hand holding the pistol, and the pistol fell to the ground with a metallic sound.

On the pillar behind her, there was a cold thin sword inserted there, emitting a cold light.

Maiya knew that this was a throwing weapon exclusively used by the Church's representative, and it was called the 'Black Key'.

While dodging her bullets, Kirei also shot down her pistol with a black key and scratched her right hand.

Obviously, she could easily take her life, but the other party didn't do so.

Maiya was even more sure that Kirei wanted to learn something from her, so he deliberately didn't kill her.

"Aren't you going to answer? Then drain all the blood from your body."

Three black keys appeared in each of Kirei's hands, and his eyes were so indifferent that he didn't seem human.

Before that, Maiya started to run, dodging behind a pillar to hide herself.

The forward steps stopped abruptly, and Kirei did not step forward immediately.

The other party still has a weapon on his body, approaching him rashly may injure himself, does this mean that he is competing with him for patience?

No, not right!Kirei suddenly thought of something, and was about to step forward when a puff of smoke exploded, it was a pungent smell mixed with chemical reactions.
