I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The holy cloth is the cloth covering the dead body of the saint. Because it is contaminated with the concept of the saint, it is endowed with various magical powers. It is a natural conceptual gift. According to the saint's life deeds and ideas, the characteristics of the holy cloth are also different.

Some can block magic and hide magic circuits, some can defend against physical pain and magic backlash (the holy cloth given to Shirou by Mapo on the HF line), and some can increase the effect on magic, exerting effects similar to "Magic Eyes" "Kill" effect (Tsukihime, the holy cloth used to cover Shiki's eyes when he can't suppress the evil eye), and the special effect of Magdalene's holy cloth is to restrain men.

Of course, there is no doubt that Karen is a woman, and it would not normally have any effect. The reason why it works is because the holy cloth is not aimed at Kallen, but the aura on Kallen's body, the power of the devil - maybe the devil is male, or the faith condensed on the holy cloth can restrain the devil. Soon Kallen returned to normal - except for those bloodshot eyes staring intently at Shinji.

"Tell me, Matou Shinji, where did you meet Kotomine Kirei? And where did you know me?"

"Mr. Matou, Kotomine Kirei is a heretic that Kallen has been tracking, and he has an irresolvable hatred with her. If you have any information, please tell us, and we will pay equal rewards."

The person who made the supplement was Hiyer, who not only explained the reasons for Kallen's rampage, but also expressed his attitude towards information exchange. In addition, his ability to stop Kallen's rampage in time just now made him worthy of being the only conscience of the "Burial Agency".

There is no normal person in the "Burial Agency". The higher the seat is, the more serious the disorder is, and it is impossible to integrate into normal human society. Therefore, general social activities are taken care of by Hiyer and the old priest who is the incarnation of the demon "Rat King" in Mei Lian's left hand. The old priest sits at the agency headquarters and handles administrative work, while Hiyer takes charge, sometimes acting as a spy, sometimes as a messenger, just like now.

This proposal was exactly what Shenji wanted to hear. He held his chin, deliberately thought for a few seconds, and nodded: "Okay, no reward is required, just ordinary information exchange."

"Negotiations have been established." Of course Hier would have no objection, and the madness in Kallen's eyes also faded slightly.

"Why I know Kotomine Kirei? It's very simple. My surname is Matou and I come from Fuyuki City. Kotomine Kirei's father, Kotomine Kirei, is the priest of Fuyuki Church and a supervisor assigned by the church to Fuyuki City to supervise a certain magic ceremony. Officer. My Matou family is one of the organizers of the ceremony. I have had contact with Father Risei with my family, and I have also met Kotomine Kirei several times. Miss Kallen’s name was also accidentally discovered during a certain contact. I heard it. But it was a long time ago, so I can’t remember who specifically said it. It was either Father Risei or Kotomine Kirei—and Miss Kallen’s appearance seems to be..."

"No, I'm nothing like that heretic!"

Karen gritted her teeth and blocked Shinji's words. She inherited her appearance from her mother, but she was Kirei's biological daughter after all, and she still inherited some aspects from Kirei, such as her usual expressionless face and her demeanor during battle.

"I have investigated everything you said. In 1994, during the ceremony called the Holy Grail War, Kotomine Rimasa died unexpectedly. Kotomine Kirei left Fuyuki after handling the funeral and returned to Japan after a long time - —What I want to know is whether he has returned to Fuyuki City in the past ten years, and whether you have seen him elsewhere."

"No. As far as I know, he never returned to Fuyuki once. The church that Father Rimasa was in charge of was in charge of another priest. When his magic teacher, Tokiomi Tosaka, passed away, he didn't show up either - just I only just found out that he had returned to Japan. To be honest, I'm a little curious, why didn't he go back? Father Rimasa has lived in Fuyuki for decades, and that's where Kotomine Kirei grew up. It’s also the place where his father’s bones are buried, doesn’t he have any nostalgia at all?”

Except for the last question to bring up the topic, everything else is true. After all, Kotomine Kirei is the mastermind behind the Fifth Holy Grail War. Even if his fate has been changed, Shinji will still be curious.

"Nostalgic? How can a devil like him be nostalgic?"

Kallen's face was full of sarcasm, and perhaps she only showed her mood swings when talking about Kotomine Kirei.

"If he had nostalgia, how could he treat his mother like that? If he had nostalgia, how could he commit such evil deeds?"

"Wait, devil?" Shen Er knew that the drama was coming, and deliberately pretended to be shocked, "No, in my memory, although he always looks serious and doesn't like to laugh, he is not difficult to get along with. , and many believers say he is a saint, how can such a person be a devil? What happened? "

"That's his superficial disguise! You have all been deceived! He -"

Even in her rage, Kallen still had reason. She turned her head to look at Hiyer, and only continued to speak after getting the latter's consent.

It all started in 1994, when Tokiomi drove away Kotomine Kirei in order to form an alliance with Einzbern. For some unknown reason, Gilgamesh did not awaken Kirei's true nature and allowed him to leave Japan on a plane.

Kirei's destination was Italy. As usual, he had to return his father's relics to the headquarters of the Holy Church, and he himself also stayed at the church's headquarters.

After that, just like before he went undercover in the Magic Association (an excuse to take Tokiomi Tokiomi as his disciple), Kirei worked at the Eighth Secret Society for a period of time, then transferred back to its agent, and then transferred to other departments. No matter what job you do, it never lasts long.

Many people feel sorry for him. If such a clergyman with a distinguished family background (San Ignazio Seminary) and strict self-discipline could concentrate on one path, he would have already become a high-level leader of the church, even the position of the supreme leader, the Pope. It's not impossible.

Some people also think that he doesn't care about his position and just uses various methods to cultivate himself. This is a method that only the legendary saints would use. When he completes his practice and settles down, he will surely soar into the sky.

Whether it's regret or expectation, no matter what it is, it expresses the high opinion of Kirei from all over the church. Even after Kirei went through all the departments of the Holy Church except the "burial agency", he took the initiative to take care of Kirei. He recommended him to the Holy See for further study.

The tragedy happened at this time. Kirei, who was practicing as a quasi-saint in the Holy See, suddenly went berserk one night and wreaked havoc everywhere. Although he was quickly subdued by the knights stationed nearby, he still caused a lot of casualties.

Afterwards, the Knights conducted various inspections and interrogations on Kirei, but found nothing unusual. Kirei had no otherworldly aura, and that night he suddenly couldn't control his destructive impulses. In the end, he could only be characterized as being possessed by a demon and uncontrollable.

In view of his past resume and achievements, the Holy See exempted him from the death penalty and instead sentenced him to life imprisonment in order to atone for his sins through ascetic prayer.

The place of atonement is the Cistercian monastery, the same monastery where Karen lives.

PS: The settings about Kallen in the previous chapter are the original settings of Mushroom, and are the additions of FHA in FSN's later biography. This is the beginning of the magic modification. Remember, this is the beginning of taking the blame.
