I'm Shenji, what are you doing?
Chapter 48 Oriole Slingshot
Shinji knew this man. He was the target of Shinji's trip, Kotomine Kirei.
Because of his background and experience, Kotomine Kirei has an unusual obsession with the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu. In the original world line, Kotomine Kirei found out by adding a camera to his familiar. After hearing Kiritsugu's existence, he has been staring at Emiya Kiritsugu since then, and after Kiritsugu's death, he transferred his feelings to Kiritsugu's adopted son Emiya Shirou. (Xiaowu)
It's the same now. Kirei, who personally sneaked into Warehouse Street, felt the existence of "similar people", and the outcome of the Warehouse Street battle gave him the best opportunity.
The effect of Diarmuid Yellow Rose's curse was obvious. The remaining six servants were intact, but Saber had one hand sealed at the beginning of the war, which was very disadvantageous. For the current Einzbern camp, the top priority is to eliminate Lancer, the source of the curse, as soon as possible.
So Kirei lurked in Kenneth's stronghold, waiting for the attackers to arrive.
The target of the mantis is the cicada, the target of the oriole is the mantis, and this oriole is Kotomine Kirei.
Although the person waiting here is not Emiya Kiritsugu but someone else, Kotomine Kirei can be sure that this person is acting according to Kiritsugu's instructions and is the key to finding Emiya Kiritsugu.
Maiya's eyes quickly swept over the defenseless-looking Kotomine Kirei, taking his features into his mind.
"Why are the church people here?"
"No, this reaction is wrong!"
Maiya's answer gave Shinji a great sense of disobedience. Just as Kirei is obsessed with Kiritsugu, Kiritsugu is also very wary of Kirei, and even his two women are hostile to Kirei.
"It's impossible that Kuu Maiya doesn't know Kotomine Kirei, but it doesn't look like she's pretending. What's going on?"
Even when faced with Maiya's gun, Kirei did not show any uneasiness and said calmly: "Miss, the person I'm looking for is not you. I just want you to answer one question for me - the person who should come here instead of you. Where?"
Before he finished speaking, Maiya's gun rang out three times in a row.
Although the power of the 9mm caliber military pistol is not weak, it is not strong either. Therefore, in order to effectively kill the opponent, three consecutive shots to the abdomen are the key. Compared with the tiny fatal point that can kill instantly, attacking an easy-to-hit position to seriously injure people is more effective. This is the iron rule of shooting as a killing technique.
But what the bullet hit was not the internal organs under the monastic clothes, but the hard concrete ground.
Kotomine Kirei's evasive movements, even with incredible speed, are not faster than the supersonic speed of bullets. This happened because he prejudged Maiya's thinking before she pulled the trigger and took action in advance. Rather than taking action, what should be more surprising was Kotomine Kirei's judgment on tactics.
Pre-reading the timing of Maiya's shooting and calmly dodging the bullets, whether in the secular or mysterious world, are abilities beyond ordinary people.
Not only that - the person who turned over to hide at that moment was not Kirei but Maiya.
Her right hand was stained with blood, and the pistol that should have been in her hand fell to the ground with a metallic sound.
Her eyes full of surprise were fixed on the pillar she had been leaning against just now. The sharp blade inserted into the pillar shone with a cold light.
The thin blade with a length of more than one meter is reminiscent of a fencing weapon, and the hilt is very short for a sword.
"Black Keys!"
Shinji, who was hiding at the entrance of an elevator, shrank his pupils. This is Kotomine Kirei's representative weapon, and it is also a throwing weapon exclusively used by the representatives of the Holy Church Church. In a certain money-stealing mobile game, the "black keys" were frantically made into three types of costumes, flooding the card pool. They were complained by countless players as the "Dugu Nine Keys" and were regarded as a symbol of black-faced non-chiefs.
It was this weapon that scratched the back of Maiya's right hand and knocked down her pistol. This was the weapon Kirei threw while dodging the bullets from the pistol.
At this moment, Shinji was extremely grateful to Scathach for the hellish training he gave him. Without this kind of training, he might not even be able to see Kirei's movements clearly - Kotomine Kirei is the leading representative of the Holy Church, a purebred There are very few humans who are better than him in physical skills.
Although it is a weapon thrown by hand, it has the power to penetrate reinforced concrete pillars. Even so, he only shot down Maiya's pistol and did not intend to take his life. The purpose of deliberately using such a large amount of force must be to seize the opponent's weapons and destroy the opponent's fighting spirit. It is best to capture the opponent alive - after all, Maiya has not answered the question Kirei just raised.
"Not bad at all. He's quite agile."
Kirei, who had completely taken the initiative after the offensive and defensive reversal, walked over slowly and leisurely and said.
There was a black key in his hands again. The long blade of the Black Key is entirely made of magic power and is semi-solid. When carrying it, you only need to hold the small hilt. No one knows how many Black Keys are carried under Kirei's spacious monk uniform.
As one of the basic anti-heresy equipment of the Templar Church's agents, the Black Key is naturally very powerful, but relatively difficult to use. Those who can skillfully use its power must be experts with very high skills. Kotomine Kirei is impeccable in this aspect. Even as the church's final force, the monster-filled "burial mechanism" may not necessarily be able to surpass him in the use of the black keys.
Kuu Maiya is neither a magician nor a warrior, she is just a soldier. She lost her pistol and had no time to assemble her sniper rifle. She has no resistance in front of Kotomine Kirei. She may be killed by Kotomine in just tens of seconds. Kirei was captured alive, with no chance of escaping or even committing suicide. The gap in combat power was so huge that it was despairing.
Maiya's ears vibrated slightly, as if she was receiving some kind of communication through the earphones, but she didn't answer.
Shinji knew that Maiya was not unable, but unwilling. That was the contact from Emiya Kiritsugu. She did not want this dangerous man to get close to Emiya Kiritsugu.
At the same time, Kotomine Kirei slowly approached Maiya, and the outcome was already decided.
——That’s weird!
"It's almost time."
Shenji held his breath and took out a toy from under his cloak.
Yes, most people think this is a toy. The main body has been matte-finished, similar to the shape of the English letter "Y", and the two bifurcated ends are tied with elastic hoses - yes, this is the slingshot that many boys loved to play when they were children.
The mantis stalks the cicada, with the oriole behind but unaware of the slingshot below.
Whether oriole can achieve its goal depends on whether Shenji's "slingshot" will respond.
PS: Like Kenneth, Tokiomi Tosaka didn't think about ordinary people and technological means. He had to use communication magic if he had a phone. If it weren't for Kotomine Kirei's reminder, he wouldn't have thought of dismissing the servants at home.
