Although Maiya's sniping skills surpass those of ordinary killers and reach the level of first-class killers, both in terms of the timing of the shot and the position of aim, her only weakness is that she is too loyal.

It is estimated that Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to spare Ling Yi's life, so he did not order Maiya to shoot at the first time, but waited until he couldn't capture Ling Yi alive by himself, and then made up his mind to give Maiya a hint to shoot, but he didn't know that he had lost the most haode opportunity.

Ling Yi, who dodged the deadly sniper, did not immediately breathe a sigh of relief, but did not hesitate to hide behind a pillar, from the ballistic analysis just now, this is a sniper dead end, even an armor-piercing bullet cannot pass through this reinforced concrete pillar with a thickness of up to twenty centimeters.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, and after a while, the defender Miyakiritsugu said, "Let me be surprised, how did you see it, I thought that only Maiya knew about the hint just now." ”

His tone was full of doubt. When discussing the assassination of Jihua before, Emiya Kiritsugu clearly remembered that he agreed with Maiya that Haode shooting implied that it was 'lighting a cigarette', and there was also a considerable tacit understanding in this, so just by lighting a cigarette, you can guess Jihua between them, which is too incredible, right?

"I guess I don't even want to die." Ling Yi said casually, while observing the changes in the surrounding environment, although this is the top floor, there are no walls everywhere, no matter what position you can see the night view of Dongmu City, it is not strange to walk to the edge and accidentally be blown down by the wind.

That's why Emiya Kiritsugu arranged for Maiya to snipe, and he could easily snipe his target only if he had enough height and vision.

If the shot just missed the shot, it is estimated that there will be a strategic transfer, in other words, it is common sense for snipers to change places with one shot.

Ling Yi didn't know that she would move to a nearby building as a sniper point, but before she could complete the transfer, Emiya Kiritsugu would definitely do everything possible to create time for her, so if he couldn't retreat in a few minutes, what would await him would be a deadly sniper.

The chance of being shot is more than 50 percent.

However, Ling Yi didn't worry about getting shot, because as long as it wasn't a fatal part, it didn't matter, but he cared about the defense palace Kiritsu. Don't look at the melee battle just now, which is slightly inferior, but the reason why Emiya Kiritsugu is called a magician killer is not because of a few hand-to-hand combat.

In any way, the current situation is quite bad for Ling Yi.

"I won't ask any more boring questions. Tell me about your deal with Lancer and the content of your orders to Lancer and then give up your Mastership and promise not to intervene in this Holy Grail War, I can let you go and swear not to do anything against you again. Emiya Kiritsugu casually threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out with his foot, his tone low but with an unmistakable taste.

Ling Yi had no doubt that when things got to this point, as long as he said the word 'no', Emiya Kiritsugu would use all means to kill him.

Because if it were him, he would do the same.

There is no need to complain about the cruelty of reality and the ups and downs of fate, it is not so much that this is the most normal unfolding.

So—

"I don't believe your word at all."

Short and clear answers.

"Is that so? Hopefully the clock tower won't get me in trouble next. Emiya Kiritsugu muttered to himself, pulling out a gun from the inside of his trench coat.

Yes, not a magician's prop. Short swords, cups and other sacrificial utensils, or talismans, fairy grass, and spirit stones, nothing. Brought out was a Tompson/Center Contender, a fourteen-centimeter-long barrel with a walnut-cut clip and hilt embedded in it, reminiscent of a short sword tucked away in a sheath.

In addition to the necessary trigger and firing pin, the lines and chamber are not even visible from the outside, and the appearance is quite simple. Similar to the powder gun of the late Middle Ages.

In fact, the Contender was a single-shot rifle. Because it was originally used as a shooting competition. Kiritsugu changed the body of the gun in order to use a special magic bullet and cast a spell on the firing pin.

It uses a 30.06 mm Springfield sniper rifle cartridge. And this bullet is far from the concept of a rifle bullet in terms of size and power. Compared to the 0.308-inch Winchester round of the large military rifle, the 30.06 is even more powerful.

Compared to the Magnum bullets used by the Desert Eagle, the power of 30.06 is even more obvious.

However, as a rifle to carry around, it can only be said that its firepower is too powerful.

Therefore, the real threat of guns is not the physical destructive power exerted by gunpowder and warheads.

The greatest weakness of the magician is the carelessness of the magicians, who have no doubt that they are the intermediary between the mysterious and the human intelligence, and they are convinced that the only person who can threaten them is the same magician, except for the gods.

So when they are faced with a battle, they will only pay attention to all kinds of magic. They can see through any magic trick that has not even been performed. Therefore, in their eyes, as long as they have keen perception and perfect anti-demon countermeasures, they are equivalent to mastering the key to victory. This is the key to any magician's invariability.

As a result, they ignore purely physical attacks that don't rely on magic. No matter how sharp the blade, no matter how powerful the bullet, as long as it does not touch your body, you are completely not afraid. So as long as you used magic to cast illusions, paralysis, or even enchantments before, you can crack those low-level attacks.

They flouted science jishu. However, most magicians never realize it. How far can humans go without magic.

Only surprise can win. Through battles with multiple magicians, Emiya Kiritsugu came up with a formula that to defeat magicians, he couldn't rely solely on magic.

The use of technological weapons and magic is the heretical practice used by the magician Kiritsugu Emiya, known as the magician killer.

Of course, there weren't many opportunities for him to actually use this tactic, and the only time he did so was because he was facing a magician who couldn't handle it with conventional weapons. When faced with such an opponent, Emiya Kiritsugu called him a strong enemy.

If you encounter a strong enemy who is unable to exercise your existing strategy against them. Naemiya Kiritsugu can only compete with him as a magician, using all the secret techniques he knows. At that time, perhaps the Contender in hand was the only chance to win.

The young man hiding behind the pillar was not very old at first glance, perhaps not even eighteen years old, but there was no youth or immaturity in his face, and his dark and deep eyes flashed with a cold light of wisdom. From the intelligence, this young man's magic level is very poor, and he can suppress it even with his bare hands, but the test just now has a different result.

The superhuman body function made Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but think of those ancient exorcist families, but this young man was obviously not a descendant of those families, and had some kind of physical characteristics outside of the bloodline.

Although he is not a Dead Apostle, he can be regarded as a non-human.

Then it is just right to use this gun.

The sound of clear footsteps came into Ling Yi's ears, needless to say, he also knew that it was deliberately sent by Emiya Kiritsugu, it should be intended to disturb the line of sight and then take the opportunity to sneak attack, of course, it could also be other tactics.

His heart was beating violently, Ling Yi had never experienced such a tense battle, even if he deliberately forced himself to calm down, his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Give up, it's too late to regret it."

As if sensing Ling Yi's nervousness, Emiya Kiritsugu's flat voice sounded.

Hearing this, Ling Yi didn't react at all, and the fool also knew that this was to kill the opponent's fighting spirit, and if he made up his mind with the character of Emiya Kiritsugu, he would definitely not show mercy.

But the voice brought him unexpected good news.

Now it was determined, and no matter how disturbing the footsteps were, it was easy to predict the location of Emiya Kiritsugu.

Ling Yi counted down silently in his heart.

Five

Four

Three

Two

One

- Now!

Ling Yi's figure suddenly burst out, flashed out from behind the pillar, and threw a punch without saying a word.

The footsteps just now are on the left, and it's in this direction.

"What?!"

But what was waiting for Ling Yi was a pitch-black vision, and this punch was not swung out after all.

This is the trench coat of Emiya Kiritsugu.

The trench coat rattled and fluttered and fell.

Without the field of vision to obstruct it, the figure of Emiya Kiritsugu finally appeared in front of Ling Yi's eyes.

However, I saw that the pitch-black muzzle of the gun was directly aimed at his eyebrows, less than a meter away, which was absolutely impossible to dodge.

"--It's over."

With these words, Emiya Kiritsugu pulled the trigger indifferently, and everything was in his jihua.

Ling Yi was really unwilling to be suppressed, and wanted to fight back.

Since you expected it, it's not difficult to prepare accordingly.

So, he won.

Except-

"See you next time."

Ling Yi, who was shot in the center of his eyebrows, was stunned at first, and then smiled with relief.

Before Emiya Kiritsugu could figure out the meaning of this sentence, he saw Ling Yi's body suddenly soften, collapsing like a castle piled up with sand, and his head and limbs turned into viscous mud, like cement that had been stirred countless times, and it looked like it made people want to vomit.

Seeing this scene, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression froze suddenly.

An idea popped into my head.

-- It's fake.
