Chapter 43: Reliable

Is Shinji reliable?

The answer to this question was answered two days later.

When he walked out of a certain mountain villa with a dying man in his hand, Ji Lian and Zhang Puzhuo dispelled all doubts.

This is Shinji's first mission objective, and one of the most difficult of all targets. Ji Lian had read the information in advance, and his goal was to strengthen his body to be an expert in magic, and he could strengthen his body to be harder than steel, which was similar to the traditional Chinese martial arts "Golden Bell Jar" and "Iron Cloth Shirt".

Even if Ji Lian, who has practiced the "Tongjiquan" to the fullest, will take a lot of time to make a move, and a careless person may be escaped by the target - magicians are different from the martial artist system that relies on their bodies to eat, the body is only a part of their strength, in addition to physical ability, magicians have many strange methods, not necessarily strong, but can bring a lot of trouble.

The two of them are ready to support as soon as there is any accident. Unexpectedly, only five minutes later, the young man walked out with the target's corpse.

The body, which was harder than steel, was now a cripple, the bones of the spine, both arms, and both legs were broken, and the tough muscles were sickly old, and it was completely impossible to see what they were.

The magician, who had caused great damage to the clock tower, struggled to raise his head, his face as dead as ashes, barely squeezing a few words out of his throat.

"You, you in the end, are, what, people. ”

"Clock Tower Oriental Commissioner, Shen Zhong, greetings to you on behalf of Lord Barthomero and the Law and Political Section. The ruling may be late, but it is never absent. Hope you have a good time in hell, rebel!"

This is the task that Loreleia gave to Shinji, and it is also the reason why he did not go with the exchange group, but acted alone.

Unlike the other members of the exchange group, Shinji has only one mission, and it is what he does best - killing.

The so-called cooperation and exchanges have never been limited to the cultural and technological levels, but also the combat level. The first task given to Shinji by Loreleia is to kill the defectors of the Clock Tower, who are hiding in China.

Because these defectors came to China at a certain price in exchange for the acquiescence or even protection of the government and local forces, as long as these people do not cause trouble, the Chinese side will not take action against them – just not directly, and if something happens, it will be difficult to say. Playing with words and finding loopholes in the rules is the strength of the Chinese nation, anyway, the value of these defectors has been squeezed out, and their last value is to give the clock tower as a gift of friendship.

The same gift was given to the Chinese side by the clock tower. And it was even more direct, without even looking for an excuse, and directly sent the assassination force directly under the Law and Political Affairs Section to pick off people's heads. Although there are slight differences in style, one thing is certain - no matter what country you are in, the heart of playing politics is dirty.

"In China, the Chinese do not keep their promises, I, curse you——"

An ominous magic fluctuation appeared on the magician's body, but this magic fluctuation did not cause any damage to Shinji, and the resentment of the magic power was purified before it could be approached, and it was restored to the purest life force.

"Don't waste your efforts, it's useless. Since I dared to come, I was naturally fully prepared. ”

Even the curse of Artemis, the god of the moon, the "boar punished by God" can't help me, let alone you?

Leaving the parallel world and returning to the present world, although he lost that perfect body and did not reach the peak state of the final battle with Shirou, it does not mean that Shinji has not grown.

On the contrary, compared to before the Holy Grail War, Shinji's strength has skyrocketed several times. Magic, origins, new treasures with different functions, the teachings of a generation of famous teachers Charon, and the experience brought by the battles with various first-class and even top-level Servants, let him still have combat power comparable to that of super-first-class or even top-level Servants even if his physical strength is not enough. In this world, apart from the few geniuses like Loreleia who can't be calculated by common sense, only those old monsters who don't know how many years they have lived can make him feel pressure.

Glancing coldly at the dying magician, a crimson flame erupted from Shinji's hand, burning the magician to ashes in a few moments - it was an extraction of the concept of the "Immortal Blade", the Sun Flame derived from the sun god Suriya.

"Master, Master, I'm not dazzled. Zhang Puzhuo, who was watching from the sidelines, opened his mouth wide.

"No, though I wish you were dazzled. I didn't understand why there was only one person coming, but now I understand. Ji Lian shook his head and sighed, "Monster, real monster." ”

"Confirm that the target is eliminated, the next one is in the ——?"

With a wave of his hand, he swept away the ashes, and Shen looked sideways at the two of them.

Zhang Pu responded stunned: "Ah, oh, the next one is in Qingxu, and there will be a car to pick it up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"Then find a hotel to rest for the night?"

"Good, good ......"

……

The hotel I stayed in was very average, not good, not bad, and Shinji didn't care. This is a joint mission, not a high-level reception, and you really have to enjoy it until the mission is over.

Close the door, steal a runestone by the door, and drop another in each corner of the room, with a faint wave of magical power, and an invisible barrier separates the room from the outside.

Then, with a flash of thunder, the thin arc jumped out from Shinji's fingertips, spreading along the barrier, and when the last arc disappeared, Shinji exhaled softly.

"Now, even if there is any listening and monitoring equipment, it should be broken. Although it's a random hotel, and I don't feel like I'm being watched, it's better to be on guard, and some secrets can not be exposed or not. ”

As he spoke, Shinji unfastened the strap on his chest and placed the backpack on his back on the ground. The backpack was not luggage, but a coffin.

That's right, it's the coffin.

The black surface, with four long sides and two short sides, and a symmetrical and irregular hexagonal shape, is exactly the same as the style of coffins popular in medieval Europe - except that it is much smaller than a normal coffin, about one-sixth the size of a normal coffin, otherwise it would not fit in a backpack.

Placing his hand on the surface of the coffin lid and injecting magic power, a thin white line appeared in the center of the coffin lid, which was originally smooth and without any marking.

Hearing only a "bang", the lid of the coffin opened along the thin line to both sides. After scanning the room again with mental power and making sure there was no danger, Shinji walked into the coffin - standing up straight, walking in, and stepping on the bottom plate of the coffin.

In the next second, Shinji's body sank rapidly, and the moment his hair was at the same level as the coffin lid, the coffin closed automatically, and there was no one in the dark room.

PS: The lecturer of the clock tower is not only an identity, but also represents strength, look at a few unlucky people in FA who were Amakusa Yin, there is a first-level lecturer, yes, it is the reversal prosecutor who ran the wrong set.
