Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 484 Assassination Plan (4000 words)
In an idle factory near the industrial area, the sound of lone high-heeled shoes passed through the dark corridor and reached the iron door at the end of the basement.

Nozomi Arakawa turned the key: "Although it's a bit damp inside, you only need to stay in it for a few days. There are enough food and water sources, and there are also beds for resting. There are books to read when you're bored..."

"Yo! Master, are you here?" Ryunosuke greeted Nozomi Arakawa in surprise.

"Well, how are the children, are you all right?"

"Yeah!" Ryunosuke nodded frantically, "I didn't touch any of them, look how soundly they slept."

Cold sweat dripped from Sofiali's forehead.

What appeared before her eyes was like a scene from a horror movie.

Under the dim light, the children lay in rows with their eyes closed peacefully.Their faces are pale, and their delicate arms are receiving needles, and the glucose solution used to maintain life is being injected drop by drop into their delicate bodies.

"What is this!?" Sophia Li turned her head and asked Nozomi Arakawa.

"As you can see."

"Master, is this... for me?"

Ryunosuke came over and asked curiously, glancing at Sophia Li from time to time.

"No, it's a new resident." Arakawa said.

"Oh." Ryunosuke scratched his head, a little disappointed.

After all, what he likes most are women and children, and the woman in front of him is so beautiful, it would be a pity not to kill her.For such a beautiful woman, what kind of twisted expression would that pained expression be before she died?

"Ryunosuke, can you please wait for me at the exit of the corridor?" Arakawa said with a smile, "I have good news to tell you later, but I need to tell this lady now Telephone."

"Okay! Master, talk slowly, and I'll wait for you over there!" Ryunosuke was very obedient.

Although he is an out-and-out murderer, judging from the fact that he has committed so many crimes without being caught or even suspected, he is undoubtedly a smart man.His insides did not match his appearance and Sunshine's personality. He knew that Nozomi Arakawa was someone he couldn't deal with, so he let his harmless side of humans and animals fully show.

Seeing Ryunosuke's retreating figure, Sofiali questioned Nozomi Arakawa again, but her tone was raised an octave.

"What exactly is going on?!"

"Don't get excited, Miss Solavi."

"Who allowed you to call me by my name!"

"Okay, Ms. Sofiali, these children were not harmed."

"They said they were not harmed. You must have tied them here to absorb the magic power, right?"

Arakawa was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was a good reason.

"So what?" Nozomi Arakawa said, "The manifestation of servants requires magic power. Where can I, a third-rate magician, get so much magic power? But letting my servants hunt for food will easily lead to being targeted, so I might as well raise some. It’s food.”

"You!" Sofiali felt that the man in front of her was really unforgivable.

To drag ordinary people...such a small child into the world of magic.

The magic power in everyone's body is transformed from a small source, once absorbed improperly, it will lead to death.

This man... actually used the life of a child as a bet to participate in the Holy Grail War! !

"Don't rush to get angry, Ms. Sophia Li, before you turn around and leave, you have to think clearly whether these children who will not be killed or your wishes are more important." Arakawa Wang said, "Seeing that before A young man with orange hair?"

"Say it straight, I'm not blind."

"Well, he is the master of the caster."

"What?!" Sophia Li's eyes widened.

"It's true. If you don't believe it, I can take you over to see his command spell."

"You joined forces with Caster a long time ago?" Sophia Li asked.

"Oh, not really." Nozomi Arakawa said, "About this... By the way, I guess tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, you will definitely feel lucky about joining forces with me."

"Are you going to absorb the magic of these children until the end of the war?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the situation. If Ms. Sophia Li, who is a descendant of a magic family, can provide me with some magic power stored in my sight, then I won't be able to use these children."

Sofiali glared at Arakawa Wang fiercely: "For the sake of being an ally."

As she said this, she threw a gem to Nozomi Arakawa.

"Gem magic, you can replenish your magic power after being crushed. I have calculated that it should be enough for your servants to move around for about four days."

"Thank you very much, then I can release these children tomorrow night, but before that, please don't do it privately."

"I understand that."

"Then I'll take my leave. Although the conditions are a bit harsh, just stick to it."

……

Nozomi Arakawa and Ryunosuke walked out of the industrial area together.

"I said, master, it's time to tell me, right?" Ryunosuke said, "What's the good thing?"

Feeling the coolness of the night wind, Arakawa let out a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Ryunosuke, before I tell you the good news, I have a question for you."

"Sir, what do you say?"

"There are a total of sixteen children in the basement, but one is missing. Do you know what happened?"

Ryunosuke was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head embarrassingly.

The two sides fell into silence, but the silence was quickly broken.

"It's okay, I couldn't help it if it were me." Arakawa smiled, "I'd better tell you the good news first. You are free tonight."

"Really?" Ryuzosuke's eyes lit up, but he was not excited about being able to go out.

He was not imprisoned forcibly.It was because Wang Arakawa offered a condition that he could not refuse, so he came here on his own initiative.Now that he has been told that he can go out, it means...

"Caster is almost ready, you can see the coolest thing tomorrow night."

"Cool!" Ryunosuke cheered.

"But Ryunosuke, from tonight to tomorrow, no action is allowed. Because since it is the Holy Grail War, the enemy may come to the door. This is my only request, understand?"

"That is to say, it cannot arouse suspicion?"

"Better do nothing... if you want to see the 'coolest' stuff."

After leaving these words, Arakawa walked away on his own.

Where Ryunosuke couldn't see him, he finally released his clenched fist, dripping with blood.

"Well, if you can see Master Demon's masterpiece if you don't kill anyone for a day..."

Ryunosuke looked at Nozomi Arakawa's back indifferently, took out an eyeball with bloodshot eyes from his pocket, and kneaded it obsessively...

……

"Sorry, Master." Jing Mi materialized and followed Arakawa Nomo.

"Why are you apologizing?"

Nozomi Arakawa stopped on the shore.

The sky was getting bright and the sun was about to rise, and the warm sea water soaked his shoes. He looked at the phosphorescent sea surface, and the throbbing in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

Locking up a murderer with sixteen children is an extremely dangerous act.

Obviously, I have already prepared myself...

"Can I... hold your hand? Master." Jing Mi looked up at Arakawa Wang.

Arakawa Wang was silent for a while, and the warmth of his palm spread to her palm.

Tranquility held his hand a little bit, and the two sat down on the beach, watching the first golden rays of light appear at the end of the horizon.

"I know the reason why you put the caster's master in the basement, Master." Jing Mi said, "Although I am an assassin, I have never killed a child directly or indirectly before. I will Take this guilt with you."

"Why should you bear it with me, because you are my accomplice?" Arakawa asked.

"No, because I am your servant." Tranquility stroked the master's finger, "If you don't tie him to a fixed place, more people will be victimized. That murderer walked into a door and lost What matters is the life of the family. Here, although we cannot force him, we can achieve what we want with the least cost."

"Can you...continue?" Nozomi Arakawa said softly.

He wanted someone to say these words instead of himself, to forgive him from the perspective of a bystander.

"The Master of Caster is an out-and-out murderer who cannot restrain his urge to kill. However, if we use coercive measures to imprison him, Caster and himself will not be happy and may even turn against us. So let him stay here. It's the best choice, isn't it? Keep the wolves and sheep in a circle. Precisely because the wolves know that these sheep are useful, they won't kill too many even if they are hungry. The lives of a few people are exchanged for the lives of the many. , although incorrect, the results are usually good."

"But Tranquility, I'm a gambler, we don't know the master of the caster at all, what if he becomes violent and kills all the children?" Arakawa Wang said, "Killers are paranoid lunatics, we can't Look at them with normal thinking."

"Master, are you regretting this plan, because it led to the death of a child?" Jing Mi said, "But even if we don't do it, the caster will plan to kill the children, maybe there will be more children in the underground waterway. Did you also see that tragic scene?"

"No, I don't regret it, it's just..."

"Just what?" Jing Mi asked.

——"It would be better if I were stronger." Arakawa said this in his heart.

"No, it's nothing, it's dawn, and it's time to start a new day of action."

Nozomi Arakawa stood up, the sea breeze ruffled his hair.

He looked at Tranquility: "It's a new day, please give me your advice."

"Yes, I am willing to be your shadow and offer you the Holy Grail, please issue an order!"

……

At noon, inside Fuyuki Church.

Gospels in hand, newly installed priests prayed in empty churches.

After praying to the Lord, he walked through rows of pews and came to the podium.

"The Holy Grail War is now facing a major crisis. It has been confirmed that the master of the caster is the culprit of the serial murder and kidnapping that caused the commotion in Fuyuki City. In order to prevent the mystery from leaking, as the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, the Holy Church uses a special The special authority of the period temporarily guides the rules. All masters immediately suspend their fighting actions with each other and annihilate the caster with all their strength. For those who successfully annihilate the caster and its master, as a special measure, the Holy Church will give them additional command spell."

As the priest rolled up his cuffs, his entire arm was almost covered with Command Seals.

"This is the command spell left over by the masters who were eliminated in the previous Holy Grail Wars. Because the priest Kotomine who kept it has died, I will take over now. These engravings should be of incomparable value to everyone."

"The Holy Grail War will continue after the caster is annihilated. Anyone who has any objections, please raise it. If not, the meeting ends."

……

"How's it going?"

In the room, Nozomi Arakawa was wiping the knife.

"The news has been sent." Jing Mi said, "And the Church of the Holy Church has also successfully issued a killing order against the caster. No one suspects us."

"What about Emiya Kiritsugu, did he agree?"

"It's hard to say, that man has been silent all the time, and let me go back after I finished telling the information."

"Really...it doesn't matter, but having said that, the priest who was killed by you actually has so many command spells." Thinking of this, Nozo Arakawa felt regretful.

There are so many command spells, and if they are given to Jingjing, her combat ability will be greatly improved.

"That...Master, regarding tomorrow night's action, will it really work?" Jing Mi asked.

"what happened?"

"The master of the caster seems to have joined the caster. When I came back, I detected it. They are preparing for a large-scale summoning technique. It stands to reason that other servants will be attracted, but this also represents the archer. The master will arrive at the scene."

"Ah, don't worry about that. For this operation, you just need to do what you should do well. If Tohsaka Tokiomi breaks away from my plan, it will be difficult." Arakawa Wang said.

"I don't understand what is the point of destroying the Tohsaka mansion. Although the magician's workshop is important, with the capital and background of the Tohsaka family, rebuilding the workshop is very simple."

"Ah, speaking of it, I left too hastily this morning, so I didn't have time to explain this to you." Arakawa Wang said, "What I want to destroy is not his workshop, but the ancient Central European style house with an imperfect system. I think Come to think of it, it's easy to rebuild a workshop, but if his home is gone, he'll have to find another place to live. According to the information you've gathered these days, Tosaka Tokiomi seems to have sent his wife and daughter to other places in order to To prevent them from being involved in the Holy Grail War, another house of the Tohsaka family was excluded, so the only places he can live in are hotels or hotels in Fuyuki City."

Jing Jing was taken aback: "The modern facilities and furniture in the hotel are complete!"

"That's right, as expected of an assassin, I immediately understood the assassination method I want to carry out." Nozomi Arakawa touched Jing Mi's head appreciatively, "For the Master, the usual assassination method is not feasible, after all, The curse has a method of use that can instantly summon the servant to a specific location. Therefore, it must be invisible, and must use a certain method to avoid the many barriers set by an excellent magician, and send it without him noticing. kill."

"Okay... then I won't appear on the frontal battlefield tomorrow night, so please be more careful."
