Chapter 30: Emiya Kiritsugu who has lost his cool
"Oh, it's here."
In the suite, the mobile phone in Naraku's hand came with the courier message of the delivery.
Looking at the huge boxes downstairs and the truck that had just left, Naraku violently tore the boxes to pieces and dragged the contents out.
It was a locomotive, with a pitch-black body, wild lines, and a rushing, beastly breath.
Even a layman will tell that this is a motorcycle that is perfect for racing, and the speed will definitely not disappoint!
Naraku patted the body of the locomotive lightly, smiled, and was about to step on it to try the feeling, when Zig, who followed him, asked in a loud voice.
"Naroku-san, what are you buying this for?"
"Well, how to say, I'm going to take you out for fun today, so I got a motorcycle, wait a little while, I'll modify this car, after all, some aspects are not very to my taste."
With that, Naraku put his hand on the motorcycle, closed his eyes, and the dark green qi seeped into the motorcycle from the place where the two touched, and in Zig's perception, the motorcycle was evolving in the direction of a monster.
The first thing to change is the power source, which uses gasoline in this world, but for Naraku, this energy source is too backward, not only inconvenient, but also polluting the air.
And in the world of magic cannons, ordinary motorcycles generally use a combination of pure electricity and magic or other power systems, however, these are not in line with Naraku's character, under his modification, the motorcycle in front of him has gradually escaped the category of "motorcycle", and the only thing that can prove that it is a motorcycle is probably only the dark and wild appearance.
At the same time as moving the power system of the magic cannon world, the power system is completely eliminated and the magic power is strengthened, that is to say, this motorcycle can only rely on Naraku's own qi to operate, and the advantages of this engine are environmental protection, energy saving, and superior acceleration performance.
As soon as it is activated, it is definitely a monster that surpasses all ground transportation, but the magic that drives this motorcycle is definitely not a number to be optimistic about, and to the average person or magician, this machine is definitely something that can be classified as "scrap iron".
But in Naraku's hands, that's another matter, even he doesn't know the bottom line of his qi, after all, it's been a long time since he has done one at full strength, which means that it's definitely not a problem to start this motorcycle and let it continue to work non-stop.
Of course, if you change the power system alone, when Naraku, who likes to drive at super high speeds, steps up and pulls the accelerator, the hardware of the car body can't bear it, so after changing the power system, the next thing to do is to upgrade the hardware of the car body, at least to strengthen it to the extent that it will not be damaged when it is driven to the point where it bursts.
"Whew~~ It's done." Naraku, whose hand had left the motorcycle, stood up and wiped his sweaty forehead.
The basic modification has been completed, and the next thing is to solve it when there is a problem, very simple, anyway, even if the car crashes, he will be able to come out unscathed.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
I accidentally glanced out the window and saw that it was already dawn outside.
Looking at the rising sun, Emiya Kiritsugu did not feel any emotion, and continued to sort out the information.
The hotel in front of Shinto Station, where Maiya met three days ago, is now being used as one of the hidden bases, and first all services in the hotel rooms have been stopped, and then a blank map of the whole area of Fuyuki City has been plastered on the walls of the room, and then the information of each location has been labeled and marked on the map.
The search route and time of the past few days, the messages sent by the demons, the changes in the spiritual veins, the information about the missing persons obtained by eavesdropping on the police radio station, and the location of the inventory point will show the events that happened in Fuyuki City at night, and the icons that show everything in detail are like a mosaic in a state of chaos.
Emiya Kiritsugu's right hand silently continued to mark the food, while his left hand unconsciously stuffed the nutritious snack burger he bought along the way into his mouth and chewed it repeatedly.
For Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been eating at the Einzbelen's table for nine years and had long since grown tired of it, this murderous fast food was more to his taste.
In any case, it is better to be able to finish a meal without interrupting one's work and thinking.
After all the markings on the map were completed, Kiritsugu sorted out the overall content and rejudged the direction of the Holy Grail War.
There was no movement at the Archer Tosaka Mansion, and since defeating the Assassin on the first day, Shichen had been closed like a hibernating bear, with an unpredictable silence.
Berserker has already been killed, so this group can be ruled out.
Lancer took the place of the mortally injured Rod Elumeroy, and his fiancΓ©e, Solau Nazele Sofiali, set the move in.
I'm afraid she's the one who controls Lancer now, whether she's temporarily taking over Master's duties through the Book of Puppeteers, or whether she's snatching the spell and making a pact with Lancer again.
If it's the former, even killing Solau won't be able to cut off Lancer's mana supply, and it won't make Lancer unable to fight.
In that case, it seems that it is necessary to continue to observe whether or not to make a move on Solawu.
Caster had several more children missing from the city last night, and it seems that he did not care about the wanted notices issued by the overseers, and continued his inhumane work with impunity.
Rider has no clue at all.,Always rely on flying treasures to move with the Master, so it's hard to track.,From the outside, it looks very bold but there is no flaw in the slightest.,It's a formidable opponent.γ
As for Rider and Archer's information, Maiya Kuyu, who is currently recovering from her injuries in Einzbelen, has just woken up, and Alice Phil has already relayed most of the situation over the phone.
It is said that things went in an unexpected direction, and as a result, Rider, who had no choice, had to use the Noble Phantasm to eliminate the Assassin.
The Noble Phantasm known as the King's Army used by Rider is very interesting, but Kiritsugu is more concerned about the fate of the Assassin.
Although it is a Servant that can increase in value infinitely, what is the mystery in it?
Moreover, the Assassin army that attacked the city of Einzbelen last night must have mobilized all its combat strength, if not, they would not be able to form a crowd tactic with low individual combat ability.
This incident is completely different from the last farce that happened in Tosaka Residence, and this time it may be considered that the Assassin has been completely wiped out.
And what about their Master?
Kiritsugu sighed deeply and lit his first cigarette of the day, and in the end, it was this part that left suspense.
The greatest heresy that existed in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
For Kiritsugu, he still couldn't understand what purpose this man was participating in this war.
When he discovered the Assassin in the scuffle on Warehouse Street, Kiritsugu had already realized that the Master of the Assassin was a puppet of Tosaka Tokitomi and was only responsible for the task of scouting, but after that, Yan Feng Qili continued to do many actions that he couldn't understand.
When the Hyatt Regency Tower of Winterwood attacked Kenes, Yan Feng Qili was ambushed at the construction site of the Central Building.
During the siege of Einzbelen, Yan Feng Qili infiltrated the city from the exact opposite direction.
Either way, it only makes sense if it was assumed that his target was Emiya Kiritsugu.
First performed a farce of pretending to quit, and then fled to the Fuyuki Church to seek refuge, while continuing to send a large number of Assassins to spy activities, in order to make this tactic more perfect, Qili should have been hiding in the Fuyuki Church without coming out for a single step, but his current actions have completely exposed himself.
Kiritsugu, Emiya, who was originally hidden under the cover of Alice Fell and Saber, was only revealed when he was fighting against Rod Elumeroi's camp, so no one should know his true identity until the day before yesterday, even if Tosaka's intelligence network realized that it was Kiritsugu who was secretly carrying out activities, but it would not be surmised that Kiritsugu was Saber's real contractor, and excluding these, from the perspective of the overall battle situation, what is the intention of using Kiritsugu as the target of pursuit?
Although it is also possible that it is due to unjustified personal grudges, this possibility is very low, and in all the experiences that have been investigated, there is hardly any intersection with Emiya Kiritsugu, even among the magicians who have been assassinated by Kiritsugu and the presumpted related victims, there are no friends or relatives who know Himaire.
In short, it is safe to say that even if he loses the Assassin, Yan Feng Qili will definitely stand in front of Emiya Kiritsugu to block his way, no matter what this man's code of conduct is, it is beyond the scope of the Holy Grail War, and even after losing the Servant, he will not quit honestly.
While thinking helplessly, Kiritsugu sighed and exhaled a puff of purple cigarette.
As soon as I thought of the matter about Yan Feng Qili, I felt as if I was imprisoned in bottomless darkness, and I could only feel a burst of fear.
Kiritsugu's tactics are to disrupt the opponent's heart from beginning to end, where the enemy is ready to attack, what the enemy's goal is, as long as you can see through the opponent's actions in advance, you can find the opponent's blind spots and weaknesses, and as a magician, you generally have a sense of purpose that is higher than that of ordinary people.
Because of this, Kiritsugu was able to never miss a shot in the hunt.
And now, an enemy like Yan Feng Qili, who is completely unpredictable on the surface and inside, is the biggest threat to Kiritsu, and in the face of such a strong enemy, the current Kiritsugu is helpless.
It's as if he can read his own thoughts, a tracker who sees through all his movements, and this time Kiritsugu is not in the hunter's position, but in the prey's position.
In addition, there is the unknown character who entered the battlefield on the first night and wiped Berserker directly from the battlefield, and although he hasn't been on the battlefield since that day, Emiya Kiritsugu still met each other once in a while, and there was a brief conversation.
However, it is completely impossible to understand his purpose.
That's the only thing that didn't come to terms with that.
Who are you?
Finally, in Kiritsugu's mouth, he muttered unconsciously, the more he thought about the question about Yanfeng Kiri and Naraku, the farther away he wanted the answer, and he could only become more anxious as a result.
What's so interesting about this kind of hunting, it seems that we will continue to fight at the risk of unexpected surprise attacks at any time in the future.
Kiritsugu rented a garage in a nearby town and hid in it a modified tanker that could be operated by a remote control device, which the urban guerrillas called a civilian weapon of cheap cruise missiles, which was intended to be used in the siege of Tosaka, and if it was used to crash into the Fuyuki Church where Kiri was lurking, even the Substitute would not be able to hold back.
Bastard, just in moderation.
Kiritsugu reminded himself as he slammed the cigarette into the ashtray.
Now there are many enemies in front of him who must be eliminated first, and it is the Holy Grail War that he must win, and from the point of view of the Holy Grail War, Yan Feng Qili is just a defeated Master, even if he doesn't know the purpose of his attack, it is really too unreasonable to focus on this issue and ignore the important battle.
Kiritsugu, who is in a state of anxiety, will lose his ability to judge calmly, and it will not work if he continues like this, so he will have to readjust his mood.
It's been about 70 hours since I last slept, and although I don't feel too sleepy under the effects of ******** (amphetamine), the fatigue is really accumulating, and my concentration and concentration have become dull.
There's still a little time left until the daytime rendezvous with Maiya, so let's take this time to dissipate the fatigue.
Emiya Kiritsugu sees himself as an automatic mechanical device, so he has no concerns about his physical health, and he manages his physical health and organizes his large number of weapons in the same way, except that he can always maintain his body in a working state that can fully exert his full ability.
Kiritsugu lays down on the bed after going to the toilet and uses a self-hypnosis spell to disperse his consciousness, which is a barbaric method that can remove mental stress as well.
Although self-hypnosis is not a high-level magic technique, it will cause a certain loss of self-awareness and disconnection when it is released, so many people are reluctant to use this kind of magic.
However, for Emiya Kiritsugu, as long as it is the most efficient way to rest, it is the best, so he uses this method very frequently.
After about two hours, the dissipated consciousness will return, and the hypnotized person will wake up naturally, but during this time, the hypnotized person's body is in a completely unconscious state of walking dead, and it should be safe to use it in this hidden place now.
After relaxing and clearing the appearance of the enemy from his consciousness, Kiritsugu fell into a deep sleep.
The street outside the window starts a new day with the morning sun.
