Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

The next second, Miyu, wearing a purple-themed magical girl uniform and holding a blue staff, appeared at the door of the alley.

"The class card - 'lancer' - is limited to expansion!"

The class card belonging to 'lancer' suddenly turned into a ray of light, integrated with the entire cane, and gradually lengthened.

Miyu held the elongated light and waved her hand, and a red spear appeared in her hand.

That is a Noble Phantasm that belongs exclusively to heroic spirits!

Chapter 951: This mournful cry is the sound of nature!

No stars, no moon, no clouds——

Tonight, there is only darkness in the night sky.

In the dark night, a crimson stream of light flashed past, like a scar cutting through the sky, dragging a long light tail, flashing from one side of the sky and disappearing from the other side of the sky. The whole process lasted only less than a minute. One second, extremely difficult to capture.

In the stream of light, Shirou Emiya, who was wearing red armor, held the Japanese bow tightly in his hand and stared at the city below. From time to time, a few sword arrows streaked through the air like meteors, and then fell heavily to the ground. superior.

"Sakura! Next location—!"

"Hogunhara Academy High School!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emiya Shirou swung the wings spread out behind his back violently, bursting out with extremely terrifying speed and galloping towards Suizunhara Academy.

"call out--!"

A sword arrow turned into a bullet, piercing the air like black lightning.

The sharp sound of breaking wind only sounded after the sword arrow passed through.

"Crack-!"

The glass shattered somewhere in the corridor of Suiqunhara Academy.

"Pfft——!"

With the sound of the sword piercing through the flesh, the sea demon who was rushing towards the guard patrolling the corridor let out a cry and fell down.

The sword arrow also disappeared after penetrating the sea demon.

Only the guard uncle was left, who collapsed to the ground out of fear.

"Are you able to determine the opponent's location——?"

Emiya Shirou frowned tightly. This was the first time he had asked Shiro-haired Sakura this question.

This kind of situation where the enemy is in darkness and we are clear is the situation that Shirou Emiya doesn't want to see the most, because he is the least good at intrigues with the enemy and is better at fighting head-on.

"The location where these sea monsters appear every time is basically near the sewer, and based on the time when each sea monster appears, the current location of the opponent's magic workshop should be here!"

As he said that, a blue barrier appeared in front of Shirou Emiya's eyes. It was the floor plan of Fuyuki City. There was a place marked with a red dot, which was the position of the opponent determined by Shiro-haired Sakura through calculation.

The moment he saw that location, Emiya Shirou rushed towards the location of Miyuan River. Naturally, the red mark was not on the ground, but inside the sewer underground.

"It's really tricky! It's like being a born murderer!"

This hide-and-seek chase lasted for quite a long time. From morning to late at night, more than 13 hours had passed.

But Shirou Emiya didn't even see the other party's shadow, and during this period, he even destroyed several workshops on the ground.

However, it is obvious that the other party cannot be faster than himself in armor, and how did he leave quickly? Could it be that he has some teleportation magic prop?

It wasn't until the third workshop was destroyed that Shiro-haired Sakura realized that they had fallen into a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding.

Class cards can be released.

I'm afraid that when he left Fuyuki City's Xindu Forest, the other party released his class card and blended into the crowd as an ordinary person.

It was even said that it was very possible that he was watching nearby when Shirou Emiya destroyed the magic workshop.

Neither White-haired Sakura nor Emiya Shirou thought about this level, because subconsciously, they thought that the other party would always unfold the class card to act.

But even if you know it, there is nothing you can do.

Find a magician among ordinary people?

He and Sakura have lived together for so long, and it was not until recently that he realized that Sakura was also a magician, and that the Matou family was a family of magicians.

Even Emiya Shirou himself had lived in Fuyuki City for so long. If it hadn't been for the erosion of the power of existence, Tohsaka Rin and Sakura would not have known that Emiya Shirou was also a magician.

If you want to find a hidden magician among ordinary people, maybe other magicians have this method, but for Emiya Shirou, this is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Discover the other party's identity information through the remnants of the other party's magic workshop?

If Emiya Shirou had studied detective at Tokyo Butei High School, he would have admired the other party's methods of hiding evidence and disrupting searches.

I am afraid that this can only be possible by asking a certain elementary school student who is the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era" and "the savior of the Japanese police".

But his major is military reconnaissance, which involves military reconnaissance first and then reconnaissance. Emiya Shirou is indeed knowledgeable in the judgment of information, but on the one hand, the focus of military reconnaissance is on force.

On the other hand, he had not taken any cultural classes at Tokyo Butei High School, and his ability to search for evidence through clues and intelligence was not very high.

Because of this, Emiya Shirou and Shiro-haired Sakura were in an extremely passive situation.

BB also showed dissatisfaction with Fuyuki City at this time. If the entire Fuyuki City was like the moon, with surveillance everywhere, then finding the murderer would be an easy task.

It's just a pity that there is basically no surveillance in Fuyuki City except for very important places, such as the armory of the police station, power supply stations, etc.

Passive, very passive. If the other party's purpose is to kill himself, then everything is easy to say, but obviously, the other party's purpose is not himself.

"Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock!"

This is the sound produced by water dripping on the ground, echoing in this empty sewer.

The sewer was extremely dark, the ground was very wet, sticky, and slippery when stepped on. The icy cold air came from the road ahead and hit the whole body, and the stench filled the entire space.

The environment here is so consistent with the place where those disgusting creatures live.

"roar--!!!!!!!!!!!"

It didn't even take long before one after another sea demons emerged from the front. It should be said that the sea demons with more twisted shapes were biting towards Shirou Emiya's direction.

"Boom——!"

The next moment, there was a loud sound of the ground being trampled heavily.

Emiya Shirou just held the two swords in his hands, one black and one white, and once again turned into a meat grinder and disappeared into the group of monsters.

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Those monsters didn't even have time to cry out, before they turned into water and splashed on the ground.

Here, it seems that there is no alienation like in the forest before, and the number of sea demons is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few minutes, Emiya Shirou arrived at the most extensive place in the entire sewer.

"Uh-! Uh-! Uh-! Uh-!"

Here, there are several children who are tied tightly and unable to move. It is even said that their tears have dried up. The moment they saw Emiya Shirou, their eyes were filled with the desire for life.

The next second——

"Pfft——!"

A sea demon appeared from behind a child and penetrated his body directly, and blood continued to drip on the ground.

"There is something fresh about horror. When human beings are constantly in fear, their emotions will gradually die."

"Terror in the true sense does not refer to static without change but to changing dynamics - the transition from hope to despair, the horror of that moment. This fresh taste of terror and death."

An orange-haired figure slowly emerged from the darkness, its face became distorted, and its skin was as pale as those of sea creatures. Its eyes underwent huge mutations, becoming like those inhabiting the sea. The "things" of the deep sea gush out.

"This mournful cry is the sound of nature!"

Chapter 952 Found it! Holy Grail!

"You said you encountered a monster that looked like it crawled out of the deep sea in the alley?"

In the mansion opposite Illya's house, Sapphire and Miyu told Luvia and Tohsaka Rin everything they saw and heard today.

Naturally, Luvia and Tohsaka Rin, who have broader experience and knowledge as magicians, are better able to make effective judgments on this kind of matter.

"I'm just talking about why I always feel a nauseating wave of magic power. It seems that the water stains I encountered in other alleys were left by those monsters!"

Tosaka Rin nodded thoughtfully. She discovered the anomaly in Fuyuki City today early in the morning and went to investigate.

It's just that in the few places we visited, there were only a bunch of water stains on the ground that were very disgusting to see.

"I didn't expect that you would meet me, Miyu. You didn't get hurt at all!"

Luvia on the side also nodded, seeming to agree with Tohsaka Rin's statement. It seemed that she was also aware of the abnormality in Fuyuki City today, but said that like Tohsaka, she did not find out the reason.

"No, but those monsters definitely didn't appear out of thin air. There must be someone behind the scenes."

Miyu shook her head and indicated that she was fine. She did not tell anyone about the monster that she saw eating people. She had to prepare to collect class cards tonight. She didn’t want to be blamed for her The collection of class cards was delayed due to the incident.

"The other party probably wasn't coming towards the class card. Otherwise, there would be no need to go to such great lengths to cause riots in the city. But in that case, what is his purpose? Isn't he afraid of attracting the Magic Association's pursuit? Responsible?"

Tohsaka Rin held his chin and pondered. According to Miyu, the other party didn't seem to care about exposing magic to ordinary people. He even said that Tohsaka Rin could guess it. In tomorrow's Fuyuki City news, Those monsters are bound to make headlines.

They not only appear in one place, but judging from the traces detected by Tohsaka Rin and Luvia, this monster appears very frequently. Even in terms of just the traces detected, it is already very frequent. There are still so many unexplored traces.

"Besides this, there is another question, who solved these monsters? Obviously those water stains are the corpses of those monsters after they died."

There are too many doubts about this matter. With only limited information, it is difficult for them to restore the original appearance of the matter, and they can only make rough guesses.

"Is it possible that a hunted magician escaped to Fuyuki City?"

Sapphire quietly put forward her guess at this time.

According to Luvia and Tohsaka Rin, it felt like these monsters were being hunted by someone. It was just that the one they encountered at that time happened to be the one that the other party missed, otherwise Tohsaka Rin and Luvia Ya has explored so many locations that he hasn't encountered even a single monster.

"But as far as the current situation is concerned, we can only define this matter temporarily. We just hope that it will not affect our acquisition of class cards."

Tohsaka Rin covered her head. She didn't want to deal with magicians who didn't regard ordinary people as human beings at all, especially this evil way.

"But there is no problem in making preparations in advance. Tohsaka, go call Illya up. Let's go to the back mountain to collect the only two class cards left!"

"Ha! Do you think of me as your maid? Treat me like this!"

"Isn't it?"

"you!"

Tohsaka Rin pointed at Luvia angrily and wanted to curse, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be the maid of Luvia's family now.

"Just wait until I have money!"

With that said, Tohsaka Rin left the villa angrily and looked towards Illya's house opposite.

Luvia straightened her back at this moment, showing her victory.

"Are we going to start again? We were obviously still seriously discussing the unexpected situation before -"

Sapphire is also very helpless about this. Why are there always such inexplicable conflicts between Luvia and Tohsaka Rin?

At this time, Illya was in the posture of a magical girl, secretly pushing open the window, seeing Tohsaka Rin below, and immediately flew down.

"Are you ready?"

Tohsaka Rin looked at Illya in a prepared manner.

"Ready!"

Illya held the ruby ​​​​turned into a magic wand with both hands and nodded solemnly.

At night, or rather at midnight, on a mountain behind Fuyuki City——

"Buzz——"

The rainbow-like macro light centered on the ground where the four people stood, rippled, rotated and spread, forming a precise geometric pattern of the magic circle. A group of four people were trapped inside.

in their field of vision. The surrounding space began to become slightly distorted. The senses of up, down, left, right, east, west, south, north, and other directions suddenly became blurred, and even the night view of the mountain and the brightly lit Fuyuki City in the distance also became blurred.

Then. The sky and the earth rotated, waves shimmered, and when the surrounding scene returned to its original state again and all the senses returned, the scenery was still the same, but this scenery was full of a sense of dissonance.

The sky seemed to be covered by a moving arc mirror, swaying at a very slight angle like the surface of a undulating lake. In the woods, a faint blue mist was filling the air, making everything in this space blurry. in the field of vision.

"Don't let your guard down, Miyu, Illya!"

Tohsaka Rin held several gems in his hands and stared at the surrounding woods. Although there was no one inside at the moment, an ominous atmosphere always shrouded the place.

"There are only two types of class cards left - Berserker and Assassin."
