I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Chinese martial arts is broad and profound, with various schools and techniques emerging in endlessly. But when it comes to which one is most respected by foreigners, especially the Japanese, the answer is undoubtedly "Bajiquan".

Whether it is the second dimension or the third dimension, Japanese people love Bajiquan very much, and Kotomine Rimasa is no exception. Sixty years of "Bajiquan" cultivation has reached the state of "seeking the Tao".

Kotomine Kirei studied under his father and has profound attainments in "Bajiquan". After being trained by the "Executor", Kirei is even better than his father in using Bajiquan to kill people.

There has always been a saying in the Chinese martial arts world that "Taichi can stabilize the world with literature, and the Baji can determine the universe with martial arts." This shows the fierceness and domineering power of Bajiquan.

Shinji was sure that as long as he was hit by Kirei's punch, even if he had prepared protective magic in advance, he would not be able to escape death.

You must not be approached by him!

Shinji continued to charge forward while injecting magic power into the slingshot in his hand.

When Justeza modified the slingshot, she added a design similar to the church's black key, which can generate a semi-entity made of magic power. With the Y-shaped bow body, it looks like a strange-shaped dagger.

According to legend, Perseus' Serpent Scythe also had a curved straight blade, and Justina specifically incorporated the shape of an ancient Greek dagger when constructing the technique.

"Strengthen the arm!"

As Shinji chanted in a low voice, the magic-solidified blade and the magic-generated blade collided with each other.

The force coming from the blade was unusually strong. If Shinji had fixed the "hilt" on his arm with a strap in advance, the "short sword" would have been released immediately.

Although he saved the "dagger", Shinji still paid a heavy price with a dislocated wrist.

After finally opening a breakthrough, Shenji ignored the pain and staggered forward.

How could Kotomine Kirei be willing to let go of the prey that was so close to him? He just took a breath and crossed the distance of five or six steps for an ordinary person.

This is a footwork that quietly glides on the ground to approach the enemy. It is called "living step" and is also one of the dangerous secret skills of Baji Quan.

Kirei, who had adjusted his body to the best condition, was gliding like a god of death and quickly shortened the distance between the two, seeing that he would catch up in a few seconds.

At this moment, Shen Er's right thumb curled and stretched out, popping a silver bullet toward the back.

Before Kotomine Kirei could respond, the silver bullet exploded in mid-air. White light that was more dazzling than the noon sun passed over Kirei who raised a hand and covered the entire thirty-eighth floor.

Kirei, who bore the brunt of the attack, was blinded by the white light. He groaned and stopped, switching from an aggressive offensive posture to a defensive posture.

An expert at his level can still fight with hearing and breath perception even if he temporarily loses his vision.

Shenji secretly said it was a pity. If Kotomine Kirei continued to pursue, he could use the special effects of his cloak and scythe to make him suffer a big loss, but Kirei, who was extremely experienced in combat, always remained calm and left no opportunity to take advantage of.

"As expected of the big BOSS of FSN's world line, it's really awesome."

Shinji took one last look at Kotomine Kirei, who had a black key in one hand and a fist in the other, in an offensive and defensive stance, then turned around and jumped out of the elevator.

Kuu Maiya, who was injured by Kotomine Kirei, had already left this dangerous place while Shinji was fighting with Kotomine Kirei. Based on her understanding of Emiya Kiritsugu, when Shinji showed off the laser sight, she knew that the rescuer was not Kiritsugu - that man's marksmanship did not require the use of such close-range night combat auxiliary equipment.

When Kotomine Kirei regained his sight, he was the only one left in the entire Fuyuki Center Building. This powerful agent did not leave in a hurry. He first carefully smoothed the wrinkles on his monk's uniform, and then walked to the place where Shen Eryi first appeared to observe and think carefully.

Not long after, he seemed to have discovered something. He ducked behind a pillar with two side steps. His movements and steps were exactly the same as Shenji's when avoiding the black keys.

Sidestepping to dodge was just the beginning. Then Kirei imitated Shinji's rolls, counterattacks, flicked the black keys, and threw flash bombs.

Except for firing a silver bullet with a slingshot, which Kirei misunderstood as firing a pistol, everything else was imitated very closely.

Finally, Kirei stood at the elevator entrance where Shinji disappeared, his eyebrows that were not wide but thick were frowning more and more tightly.

"All the movements have been restored, but something seems wrong... Emiya Kiritsugu..."

Not only Kotomine Kirei was troubled by Shinji's suspicion formation, but also Emiya Kiritsugu who had just reunited with Kuu Maiya.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who heard something unusual from his mobile phone, rushed to the center building as quickly as possible. He wanted to use smoke bombs and magic to support Maiya, but he didn't expect that Maiya was already out of danger.

When Kiritsugu learned what happened from Maiya's mouth, his expression was exactly the same as that of Kotomine Kirei.

"Why did the representative of the Holy Church focus on me? Why did that mysterious man want to save you?"

"Insufficient information makes it impossible to judge." Maiya knew that Kiritsugu was asking herself, but she still answered because she was a part of Kiritsugu.

"Go and investigate, activate all intelligence networks to investigate. Especially the agent, I have a hunch that he will be my biggest threat in this Holy Grail War."

Even though he didn't know Kirei Kotomine's identity, Emiya Kiritsugu still gave the former the greatest attention. The two of them were like the two poles of a magnet, hostile to each other but attracted to each other.

Separated by a wall, Shinji listened to the sound of the two people gradually moving away, and once again confirmed the fact that Emiya Kiritsugu did not know the existence of Kotomine Kirei, and drew his own inference based on the information revealed by Kiritsugu and Maiya.

Kiritsugu is a thorough pragmatist. His goal is to win the Holy Grail War, and everything he does revolves around this core.

Kotomine Kirei did not become the Master due to the intrusion of the time traveler Butterfly. He was hidden by Tokiomi Tokiomi as a secret hand and ignored by Emiya Kiritsugu.

On the contrary, Kirei Kotomine, the son of Kotomine Rimasa and the secret assistant of Tokiomi Tosaka, had already known about the existence of Emiya Kiritsugu and became interested in him, which led to tonight's big drama.

Shinji didn't know if he had not intervened, whether Kiritsugu could have saved Maiya at the critical moment like he did in the original world line, and whether the development of the situation would have become uncontrollable - fortunately there was no if.

The airflow caused by the butterfly is offset by the butterfly itself, and the world line is returned.

The next time they meet, both parties will be fully prepared.

Thinking this way, Shenji's mouth curled up unconsciously. He was interrupted by the pain in his wrist, and finally settled into a strange expression.

"In this scene, the mantis hunts the cicada, the oriole is behind, and the slingshot is below. In the end, the cicada is not dead, the mantis is still there, and the oriole is undamaged. My slingshot has also completed the test-can everyone be happy?"

Shinji gritted his teeth and used magic to reconnect his wrist.

"Bah, I'm not happy at all. It hurts me to death."
