Chapter 350: The Possible Mastermind

"You...... Hey? You are ......"

When he saw the unusually tall figure, Emiya Shirou's originally vigilant movements suddenly relaxed, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"It's been a long time, I remember that Kiritsugu gave you the name of Emiya Shirou, right, I didn't expect you to remember me, I hugged you when I was a child." Zheng Shu walked out of the street next to him with his hands behind his back and a smile.

Mr. Zheng Shu...... Long time no see. Emiya Shirou bowed to Zheng Shu very respectfully, "Father also often talks about you, thinking that you have actually returned to Dongmu. ”

"Master, be careful, I can feel the other party's servant."

Jekyll didn't mean to relax in the slightest, and now he couldn't rule out the possibility that the person in front of him was disguised, and it would take some time for his treasure to be used, and if the enemy suddenly attacked, he might not be able to protect his master.

"Huh?!" Emiya Shirou was taken aback.

"Oh, didn't Kiritsugu tell you? I am the victor of the last Holy Grail War, and I am also the servant who was summoned in the last Holy Grail War. Zheng Shu raised his arm to show off his muscles indifferently, "Or do you really think that there can be a person with a physique like me in modern humans." ”

"Why is this ......" Emiya Shirou took a few steps back in surprise, "Could it be that my father and Mr. Zheng Shu are both the kind of people who careless about human life?" ”

At this moment, Emiya Shirou felt that his world was about to collapse, as if all the light around him had disappeared in an instant.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? You kid can't be too tired to burn out his head, right? ”

Contrary to the expectations of the two, Zheng Shu's reaction was not at all like his expression after being exposed.

Zheng Shu looked at the bewildered expressions of the two, snorted disdainfully, and crossed his hands on his hips, looking proud:

"Don't think that all the people are like outsiders in the Holy Grail War, my Holy Grail War basically follows the principle of reducing the harm to innocent people, and among the seven masters, only the two perverted murderers in Group C are doing things, and the rest are obediently fighting in a deserted place under my fist."

"Huh?" Shirou Emiya and Jekyll had question marks on their faces.

"Don't believe me? If you ask her, the Tosaka family, as the manager of the underground spiritual veins in Fuyuki City, naturally knows the course of the Holy Grail War. ”

Zheng Shu reached out and scooped up from the wall next to him, and pulled out a Rin Tosaka who was eavesdropping with his ears pricked up.

"Huh? Alas?! Alas!!! Suddenly being pulled from where he was hiding to the surface, Tosaka Rin's face was swollen and red under surprise, "What are you doing?!" ”

"I'm going to ask you what you're doing, obviously you still have such a serious injury on your body and don't recuperate, but sneak out with you."

Zheng Shu narrowed her eyes, bent down and approached Rin Tosaka, her huge size gave her a great sense of oppression: "Could it be ...... Are you worried that I will bully your lover? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?! What...... Messy stuff! Rin Tosaka's originally red face suddenly became even more red, and the whole person became incoherent.

"Oops, didn't you refute the title of lover?"

Looking at Rin Tosaka, who was jumping in anger beside him, Zheng Shu touched his chin and smiled playfully, and glanced at the air next to him that suddenly fluctuated.

Well...... Red A also came along, these two people are really uncomfortable.

After tossing for a long time, the group finally calmed down and changed to a different park to continue talking.

"So, the reason why you summoned the Servant was a complete accident, I didn't expect that you could summon the Servant without guidance, it's not just a matter of physiognomy, your kid's magic talent is quite good."

Zheng Shu looked Emiya Shirou up and down, and then turned his head to look at Jekyll: "You are special enough for Berserker's rank, but according to what I have observed, your combat effectiveness after transformation is not bad." The only downside is that in the state of 'Jekyll', you should have no combat power at all, right? ”

Jekyll smiled bitterly and didn't speak, just nodded in agreement with Zheng Shu's speculation.

"Jekyll was my follower and the teacher who guided me into magic." Emiya Shirou took a step forward and protected his servant.

"Little one, I don't look down on him, to be able to achieve such an achievement as a human being, even if his life is false is enough to be amazing." Zheng Shu smiled.

"I just think you two guys are really bold enough to dare to trespass on a temple-level magic workshop without preparation, and you can actually get out of the magic workshop, it seems that the owner of the magic workshop doesn't want your life either."

"Temple-level?"

"Yes, temple level, the basic sign is that you can completely control the space inside the magic workshop, according to the strength of the two of you, if the enemy really wants to keep you, you should not be able to escape, so the other party should just teach you a little lesson and then let you go." Zheng Shu explained carefully.

He knew very well that if he didn't explain the matter clearly, the two iron-headed guys would definitely find another opportunity to attack the church.

According to his understanding of Amakusa Shiro Shizhen, when facing a person like Emiya Shirou who is like-minded with him, as long as Emiya Shirou has not hindered his path, he should not take his life.

But for the servant Semiramis he summoned, Zheng Shuke was a little unsure.

Although the woman in the original book is quite dependent on Amakusa Shiro Shizhen, you must know that she herself is also an empress who once controlled an entire country, even if she relies on someone, if she finds out that it will be better to get rid of Emiya Shiro, she will definitely not hesitate to do it.

Rather than bothering to save them then, it is better to explain these things now.

"Is that actually the case......" Emiya Shirou lowered his head a little weakly, at this moment, the conflict between ideal and reality made him a little dazed.

"Okay, we've explained your question too, now it's your turn to answer our question." Zheng Shu pulled Rin Tosaka, who had been staring at Emiya Shirou since just now, over, "You should have a question to ask him, just take this opportunity to ask." ”

Rin Tosaka was dissatisfied with Zheng Shu's attitude towards herself like a child, but after seeing Emiya Shirou in front of her, she still put aside her attitude of pursuing it for the time being, and instead looked at the other party with some anger.

"Excuse me, am I doing something wrong?" Emiya Shirou sensed Rin Tosaka's angry gaze a little confused.

Naturally, he knew Rin Tosaka, a popular person in the school, but Emiya Shirou thought that the other party should not recognize him.

And now Rin Tosaka's eyes are full of anger, but ...... How can I say it, probably the emotions in my eyes are mixed with some resentment?

Emiya Shirou was a little unsure, but then he realized that his feelings were not wrong, because Jekyll had sneaked up on his side.

"Master...... Did you give up in the first place? ”

"Why do you think that?"

"Of course, it's because of this little girl's eyes, my lord, let me say something, although I look very young, but I am not young, I advise you as a person who has come over, it is better to be loyal to your feelings."

"So why do you all have such a misunderstanding?!" It wasn't Emiya Shirou who said this, but Rin Tosaka, who was a little irritable.

"Ahem, that's right, Mr. Jekyll, let the young people handle the affairs of the young people themselves, I heard that you have quite a high attainment in pharmacy, can you ask some questions?" Zheng Shu immediately jumped out to play the round.

"Ahem! Of course, no problem, I'm honored to be able to discuss it with a hero like you. Jekyll also said seriously.

The two of them walked into the distance in this tacit understanding, leaving enough space for the two young people who stayed here.

Before leaving, Zheng Shu also scooped up a handful of air, and used his huge magic power to imprison Lingzihua Red A, and dragged him away who was extremely reluctant.

With his eyes staring at the two of them far away, Rin Tosaka turned his head to look at Emiya Shirou again.

In fact, Rin Tosaka has been obsessed with Emiya Shirou for a long time, but he didn't find him out of reserve.

So when she learned from Mizuku Ayako's mouth that Emiya Shirou was most likely the one who arranged the enchantment in the school, she had a feeling of betrayal.

Coupled with Karna's ambush later, Rin Tosaka felt that he had always liked the wrong person, so his eyes were so complicated.

However, after being gaged by Zheng Shu and them, she also calmed down a little, and after thinking about it roughly, she found that according to Zheng Shu's character, if Emiya Shirou was really a person who set up an enchantment at school, he wouldn't be so relaxed.

Therefore, after realizing that he might have misunderstood the other party, Rin Tosaka suddenly became awkward again.

"The ......"

"I'll ask first!" Rin Tosaka interrupted what Emiya Shirou was about to say.

She took a deep breath, calmed her thoughts, raised her head with a red face, and stared into Emiya Shirou's eyes: "Let me ask you, did you set up the barrier in the school before?" ”

"Enchantment? Someone set up an enchantment in the school?! ”

Emiya Shirou was startled, the scene of the enchantment he had seen in the church earlier, and the description of the enchantment that Jekyll had said, immediately echoed in his mind.

He couldn't imagine what terrible casualties would be caused if even such a powerful Jekyll was so badly injured after his transformation was set up in the school.

"Who set it up? What about casualties?! In desperation, Emiya Shirou grabbed Rin Tosaka's shoulder.

"Ahh

Suddenly touched by the person in front of him, Rin Tosaka reflexively raised his hand under excessive shyness, and the talisman technique he had learned before was immediately cast, and he fell Emiya Shirou to the ground with an over-the-shoulder very easily.

"Gee, tsk, when did this little girl become so violent? In the future, if these two get married, Shirou will have to bear it. ”

Three heads appeared on a bush not far away, watching the interaction between the two young men sneaky.

Seeing that Emiya Shirou was smashed, Zheng Shu covered his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it.

"Good! If you fall well, such a guy should fall to death directly, and if you dare to touch the master casually, I'll go over and slaughter him now! ”

The imposing tone was the red A who had already appeared, and before he spoke, his hands had already appeared black and white short knives, ready to go up to form a "love rival", but he was pressed down by Zheng Shu before he could get out of the bushes.

"Oops...... I really didn't expect that the current woman has such courage, which is really eye-opening for me. Jekyll also expressed his amazement.

"My sister is so cute...... "This is Sakura-chan."

Well?!

Jekyll was startled by the sudden appearance of Sakura Kiri, and the whole person almost ran out: "Who?!" ”

"Oh, let's introduce, this is Kirizakuri Sakura, and it's also the sister of Rin Tosaka in the distance."

Compared with Jekyll's reaction, Zheng Shu and Hong A's reactions were much more flat, and Zheng Shu was even very enthusiastic to help introduce them.

When Jekyll reacted, he suddenly found that there was not only one more Kirizakura next to him, but also a tall purple-haired woman, who was lying on Zheng Shu's back at the moment.

"Don't be too surprised, we're all together." Zheng Shu took the initiative to explain, "They have been following Rin Tosaka. ”

"After all, my sister has such a serious injury on her body, but she sneaks out in the middle of the night, which is really curious. But I didn't expect that my sister actually came out to date a man? ”

"Yes, before I knew it, that little girl had reached such an age."

"Enough of you!! Even if you want to talk about people, stay away! ”

Rin Tosaka didn't care about helping Emiya Shirou up, and looked at the few people behind him viciously and let out a shocking roar.

Now that the parties have expressed their dissatisfaction, several people no longer "hidden", but ran out of the grass generously and returned to Rin Tosaka's side again.

Looking at the people beside him, Rin Tosaka wanted to speak again and again, hesitated again and again, and finally all the words turned into a helpless sigh.

She always felt that unconsciously, the painting style of the people around her seemed to be deviated.

Zheng Shu smiled and touched her head, and looked at Emiya Shirou, who had just gotten up from the ground: "Okay, don't be angry, now that you have verified that Shirou, this little guy is not the culprit, shouldn't you be happy, after all, you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

"Who...... Who was worried about him anymore. Rin Tosaka's face flushed again.

"Wow, classic tsundere, not bad." Zheng Shu stretched out a thumbs up in admiration.

He glanced at Red A and found that there was pride in his eyes.

In short, under Zheng Shu's gags, the relationship between several people immediately became much closer.

Zheng Shu looked up at the sky that was approaching late at night: "It's not early, you go back first." Now that we've met, I'll visit you again tomorrow and talk about cooperation by the way. ”

"Cooperation?"

"When the time comes, I'll talk about it in detail, you can go back first."

After sending the two of them away, Zheng Shu and Jian Kiri's expressions immediately became serious.

"It shouldn't have been him, judging from his breath, even the magic circuit has just been broken through in the past few days, so it shouldn't be able to make that level of enchantment." Sakura looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and analyzed softly.

"Well, I still know a lot about this little guy, and he shouldn't be able to do something like that, so someone else set up the enchantment." Zheng Shu nodded.

"But...... This kind of behavior is not quite like what the group of magicians in the Association of Magicians can do. Sakura was a little puzzled, "But if it weren't for them, who else would have mastered such a high-level magic technique." ”

The magicians of the Magicians Association are all scumbags morally speaking, but it is precisely because they are all villains who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, so they dare not do this.

After all, the reason why the Fazheng Section is famous is that it climbs up by stepping on the lives of magicians who dare to violate the principle of secrecy.

So it is no exaggeration to say that the magicians who ran out of the Magicians Association are the most arrogant and rule-abiding people.

What's more, there is also Amakusa Shiro Shizhen next to him to restrain him, although Amakusa Shiro Shizhen's concept is too extreme, but I have to admit that he is indeed a righteous person.

"Actually, it's not just magicians, there are also talented people who are good at magic among the summoned servants."

"Servant...... In other words, among the people who ambushed that day, was there another servant besides that Lancer? No, if there is another combat power next to him, the other party will definitely attack together to be on the safe side, so should it be Lancer's master? Sakura was thoughtful.

Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly a spiritual light flashed through his mind: "No, why do we think that Lancer is an accomplice with the guy who set up the enchantment?" ”

"Huh?"

Zheng Shu finally understood why he felt a little strange at this time, through the power of the adjudicator, he could sense that Lancer spent most of his time in the underground of the church, which meant that the other party was indeed an accomplice to Amakusa Shiro Shizhen.

In this way, it makes some sense, whether it is because of the Empress Semiramis's Noble Phantasm or according to the character of Amakusa Shiro Shizhen, they will not have any extraneous branches in the early stage of the Holy Grail War, and they must be silently accumulating strength and waiting for the Empress's Treasure Phantasm to be complete.

On the other hand, if such a bad incident suddenly appeared in the Holy Grail War that he oversaw, even if it was just to show the people of the Magician Association, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada would definitely send someone to investigate who set up the barrier in the school.

In the process, two groups of investigators collided together, and it was natural to take it for granted that the other party was the culprit.

Zheng Shu's eyes lit up: "I see...... The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. ”

"What?" Rin Tosaka was a little puzzled.

"Let me ask, did Lancer show up and saw you clearing the enchantment?" Zheng Shu turned his head to look at Red A.

Red A frowned in the face of the sudden question, thought carefully for a while, and shook his head a little hesitantly.

"Probably not, that guy doesn't look like a person who will approach with a hidden aura, and his rank is not an Assassin, so it's impossible to hide his aura from me."

That is to say...... There is someone else behind this incident. Zheng Shu nodded.

"What do you mean?"

Looking at the three pairs of puzzled eyes, Zheng Shu slightly cut down his inference and explained it to them.

"I see, that is, the target on the opposite side was not an 'ambush' from the beginning, but caused a fight?" Rin Tosaka's expression was solemn, "But how can the person who arranged the barrier be sure that I will take the bait?" ”

"No, he doesn't need to be sure you're going to take the bait, he's targeting everyone who wants to maintain 'order.'" Zheng Shu smiled dangerously.

"For the mastermind behind the scenes, he doesn't need to target someone at all, he just needs to make sure that enough masters can find out about the existence of the enchantment, whether the master who discovers the existence of this enchantment chooses to break the enchantment, or continues to hide behind the scenes, he will eventually be able to make this Holy Grail War even more chaotic."

Zheng Shu turned his head to look at Rin Tosaka:

"After all, with you and the two managers of Fuyuki City, you will definitely not let this barrier continue to work, as long as one person takes the bait and chooses to break the barrier, you can be exposed to the vision of other masters...... I don't think anyone would turn down the opportunity to get rid of an opponent based on the nature of those magicians. ”

"Bastard! Is this such a calculation? Tosaka gritted his teeth angrily.

"So in a sense, this time we and Lancer are back and go back to each other, but it's the best ending."

After speaking, Zheng Shu frowned: "This kind of intrigue and intrigue aura...... It's a real problem, I hate dealing with this kind of person the most. ”
