Qin Shi Big Boss

Chapter 199
But the next moment, Kirei felt that Assassin began to move rapidly to this side from afar.If nothing else, he should have sensed Ying Zheng's presence and worried that he would be in danger.

But what is this guy doing here?

Under Kirei's puzzled and silent gaze, Father Kotomine Risei carefully took out a small delicate red box.

"This is……"

Kirei opened his eyes slightly, but finally said nothing.

Of course he understood this box - even he was the one who took out this box from the basement and handed it to Tokiomi a few days ago.

"Yingzheng. This is what Mei Lian said he would return to you."

Yan Fengli was apologetic and said to Ying Zheng: "I lent it to Tosaka Tokiomi before you came, and used it as a preface to summon the Servant. I am most sorry, I have lost my manners. In the future, I will I will find a time to make amends to you."

Opening the red box, there is a piece of broken wheel fragments.

"Ah... so."

Ying Zheng responded suddenly, then paused, and added calmly: "...I wonder why you are so polite today. It doesn't matter, it's not damaged anyway, it's not a big deal."

But in his heart, Ying Zheng couldn't help sighing.

……in this way.

Who did Tohsaka Tokiomi get the holy relic of Karna from? Now Yingzheng finally understands.

— Karna's Wheel.

At this moment, this thing was found in front of Ying Zheng's eyes, which was unexpected good news.

Karna is not a familiar follower of Ying Zheng.Unlike the Servants found in the original works of Archer and Rider, Ying Zheng has no idea what cards he has or what treasure he has.

As for Saber Siegfried and Berserker Darius III, they are in another environment.Because when their Master summoned them, he used the holy relics that flowed out from Ying Zheng.

In other words, Ying Zheng had coordinated with them.They were indeed like Ying Zheng's Servants, and they were well known by Ying Zheng.

In front of these eyes.No matter how much they hide their identities, it's no different than naked nudity.Since one hundred percent inquired about their experience, it is natural to guess what their treasure is.

But for Lancer Karna, Ying Zheng really only knows about his mythical passage.

Don't say clearly, who knows which treasure his treasure is.Not to mention, the Brahma in Karna's possession is not one or two.

It would be bad if Karna had the thunder spear given to him by Indra.What's even sadder is that this possibility is really not small...

He was summoned by Lancer's job agency.Although there is no need to worry about his excellent archery skills and chariot driving skills, it seems that he should have a troublesome golden armor.

Now that the holy relic of Karna has been obtained, it is indeed the best news for Ying Zheng.

This means that Yingzheng's synchronous magic has another high-quality choice.

Even if the god-made armor cannot be projected, as long as Ying Zheng can understand Karna's fighting habits and treasures, he will not fail.

The so-called confidant knows the enemy, and a hundred battles will never be imperiled-this is the truth.

"Thank you so much, Yanfeng."

Ying Zheng thanked Yanfeng Lizheng from the bottom of his heart: "This thing is really good. It has helped me a lot."

"It's good that you don't mind." Lizheng nodded in relief.

I'm afraid Lizheng will never understand the hidden meaning in Ying Zheng's words.

"By the way, Yanfeng," Ying Zheng paused, and said calmly, "I have something to ask Kirei. Can I borrow him for a while?"

"It's fine, as long as it doesn't take too long."

Kotomine Ri was looking at Kirei with some trouble: "You don't have to know, something big happened in Tohsaka Mansion last night. I plan to go and see with Kirei later."

"Ah, it won't take long."

Ying Zheng nodded submissively, and said with a light smile, "It's just a lot of problems among young people. It only takes three or four minutes. If it's really not good, it's no big deal. It's not a very tense thing."

"No, no, no hurry."

Yingzheng was so polite at this time, which actually made Yanfeng Rizheng feel embarrassed.Coupled with the fact that he had stolen the holy relic that Merlin Solomon "returned" to Ying Zheng without authorization, he felt even more guilty now.

Yan Fengli is such a person.Both arrogance and arrogance, and Tokiomi Tohsaka have a strong will like steel.This kind of expression mode of iron will, when it is manifested in Tohsaka Tokiomi, it is the pride of being the chosen one, and it is manifested in Kirei's father, even if he is old and dead, he has never wavered in his devout belief.

Rizheng is over 80 years old now, but he is simply neat and tidy in his affairs.Yan Fengli can proudly swear to God that he has never done anything selfish in his life...until a week ago.

He failed to apply for holy relics from the Eighth Secret Society three times. He had to steal other people's property for the sake of Suzhi of his deceased friend and for the grandson of his deceased friend to win the Holy Grail battle. .

Based on this alone, Yan Fengli has always felt a little guilty towards Ying Zheng.

After telling Kirei about the Tohsaka family, Risei left the basement and closed the door.

After that, Kotomine Kirei, who was still in place like a sculpture, suddenly moved, and suddenly retreated in the direction away from Yingzheng.At the same time, Ying Zheng suddenly moved.

It wasn't running towards Kotomine Kirei, but with a slight movement of his legs, he retreated three steps quickly on one side as if gliding, and punched his right elbow behind him forcefully!
Ying Zheng's elbow seemed to have eyes, and with the momentum of thunder, he slammed into the chest of a man in black with a white skull mask behind him.

There was a dull explosion in the air, and the snow-white air waves rippling vertically in the air.

When the man lost his balance, Ying Zheng reached back with his right leg to pin him, and with the force of his right arm, he suddenly fell to the ground.

At that moment, Yingzheng immediately recognized from his iconic skull mask and stick-shaped right arm that he was the Assassin summoned by Kotomine Kirei.To be more precise, it should be called Hassan the Cursed Wrist——

However, Assassin's body seemed to be elastic. When Ying Zheng hit the ground, he bounced straight up like a salted fish, turned over and jumped into the air, then turned around and threw it silently at Ying Zheng who had just made an attacking movement. Seven black daggers.

From Yingzheng's violent retreat to Assassin's counterattack, the whole process only took half a second.If it is the same heroic spirit, it may not be really forced to retreat by this counterattack.

But Ying Zheng completely ignored his attack.Dodging all of Assassin's attacks with ease in a posture that was almost impossible to grasp, he stretched out his hand to hold Assassin's left leg in the air, and threw it to the floor with great force!

If this blow hits, with Ying Zheng's muscle strength, it may not be able to smash his spine.

But Assassin seemed to be the most advanced gymnast, spreading his hands to support the ground to release the strength, and then disappeared into the air again while writhing.

This is the fighting style of Assassin standard.Using breath blocking to completely cut off his own breath, even Servants will not notice him.Use breath blocking to get enough space for one-hit kills, and once you fail, use breath blocking again to hide and wait for an opportunity.

... Do you have an intuition?

Assassin sighed unhappily.

At the moment of attack, the level of breath blocking will be greatly reduced.But everyone knows that the first strike launched by the assassin is always the one with the highest success rate.

He planned to activate the Noble Phantasm simply, but he was intuitively aware of it the moment he shot it.Not only interrupted the release of the Noble Phantasm, but also knocked him down humiliatingly, but did not make up for the final blow.

so slight.

Even if you risk your life——

Just when Assassin rushed forward with all his plans, Kotomine Kirei shouted loudly behind him:
"—Assassin, stop!"

……what?
Unknown why, but Assassin complied with the order and stopped.

"Did you understand it now, Kirei? Say, you already understood it... But, were you afraid that I would use your father to threaten you?"

Ying Zheng chuckled softly, his hoarse and deep voice no longer determined to be suppressed.

"...Berserker." Kirei was silent for a while, and asked as if confirming.

"Exactly. But my other name, you must have nowhere to know."

With a soft taunt, Ying Zheng glanced vaguely at where Assassin was now, his eyes shining with scarlet light shining brightly under the hood.

"Kirei, I want to play a game with you."

In a hoarse and low voice, Ying Zheng said softly.

Kotomine Kirei hurried northwards alone.

The chaos last night hadn’t completely stopped, the trumpeting cars with horns were running back and forth, Yuanzang Mountain was under martial law, and the vehicles of the TV station could still be seen roaring past from time to time.

Compared with the much denser traffic flow, the crowds on the street are much thinner.But even so, a tall priest wearing a black cassock walked on the road in a hurry, but it also made passers-by feel surprised.

Kirei, who was running silently on the road opposite Tosaka Prefecture, was lost in his thoughts and completely ignored the chaotic state of the streets that had not yet recovered from the turmoil.

Berserker, who had previously met his father under the guise of his Master, left.But the few words he said before leaving made Kirei fall into deep thought——

"Kirei, you who don't have a clear purpose, and don't feel happy about anything...do you want to know why you were chosen by the Holy Grail?"

Just a harmless sentence made Kirei feel like being struck by lightning.

"Well, let's play a game."

Facing the bewildered Kirei, the black-red demon calmly uttered a condition that Kirei could not refuse: "No matter what method you use, find Emiya Kiritsugu before the sun sets today. If you can do it , I will handle Archer for you. If you don’t trust me, you can also sign a self-mandatory certificate with my Master.”

Self-enforcing affidavit——In the society of intriguing magicians, one of the most stern and selfless contract spells is used when making an agreement that must not be violated.

The coercive insults imposed on him by using his magic marking function have the highest effectiveness that cannot be eliminated by any means in terms of principles.Although Kirei had never seen the real thing, but Kirei, who had once acted as an agent, of course knew of its existence.

For the magician, the negotiation of handing over this certificate means the greatest limit and sincere compromise.

Although this Berserker seemed to be able to have a normal conversation and speak fluent and sensible words, in reality he was completely unable to communicate.He seems to be completely convinced that his will and plan will be carried out, and he acts completely as he pleases. As for the origin of this belief and obsession, he is completely unclear, and he has not considered the possibility of Kotomine Kirei's rejection at all... It is indeed like Where did the devil come from about the same as the tyrant.

But under Berserker's coercion and lure, Kirei also acquiesced to this business and signed his name.

"Ying Zheng...?"

Kirei muttered, reading the name on the self-compulsory certificate, feeling a little more depressed.

After all, what kind of guy would summon a guy with such a vicious temper?He hid one after another, and why?
"Your Excellency the Magician...please think twice!"

Assassin hid his body and warned Kirei strongly: "That guy is unreliable! He wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and he will definitely switch sides after the contract is completed!"

Faced with Assassin's loyal advice, Kirei just remained silent.He didn't even look back, walking steadily and erectly on the long road that extended to the outskirts of the new capital.

Then Assassin overlapped twice again, Kirei didn't respond, but asked suddenly: "Assassin, what is your hope?"

"Me? What I hope is to be famous in history, to engrave my name on eternity... that's all."

"Is it famous in history..."

Kirei softly repeated Assassin's words, slowly exhaled the irritability that had arisen in his chest at some point, and continued after a while: "You know, Assassin. I'm different from them, I don't have anything to rely on the Holy Grail to accomplish hope."

Neither his father Risei nor his teacher could understand his abnormality.No one can understand the moral flaws in Kirei's heart until now.

That's right, even the only Jia who has ever been in love is no exception——

The only one who can listen to Kotomine Kirei's words now is the Assassin who exists in the world like a tool for seven days.

Of course he knew that his current business with Berserker was tantamount to betrayal to Tokiomi.He didn't completely oppose Tokiomi, but when Tokiomi needed help the most, he took Assassin to the city of Einzbern, and removed the supervisor under circumstances that Tokiomi was completely unaware of... To help Tokiomi's sworn enemy Matou Kariya.

What am I... after all?
Compared to Kirei's growing legs, the fatigue in his soul was even more serious.

From childhood to adulthood, Kirei has worked hard to be faithful to orders, respect responsibilities, and have strict requirements on ethics and morality.Therefore, his words and deeds are always deliberate, and the choices he makes are always unquestionable.

Because of this - this is the first time I have doubts about my actions.

"—You don't need to worry, Your Magi."

Contrary to Kirei's perception, facing his own stubborn and stupid choice, Assassin just replied solemnly and indifferently: "The others are superfluous, you just need to move forward towards your hope and your goal. , without thinking too much.”

"...You mean, my hope?"

Kirei was slightly taken aback.

"Exactly, Your Excellency the Magician. If the Holy Grail can truly fulfill any hope, it must also fulfill the deepest wish in your heart that you yourself have not understood."

With a natural attitude, Assassin said the natural words: "Spicy, as long as you get the Holy Grail. If you get the Holy Grail, I hope it will be completed naturally."

"Obtaining the Holy Grail... the hope of having to trample on the others, and even making enemies with my mentor..."

Not knowing what he was fighting against, Kirei retorted weakly.

"That's right. Berserker's contract is completely dispensable. As long as you succeed in the end, Mr. Magician, you will naturally know what your wish is."

"...Acquisition, was it successful?"

Kotomine Kirei's walking steps stopped suddenly.After being silent for a long time, he asked softly again: "So, Assassin... what if my wish is to have a one-on-one confrontation with Emiya Kiritsugu? Without any Servant's intervention, it's just the confrontation between the two of us... you Can I fulfill my wish?"

"Stop Archer... If that's the case, it's fine without Berserker."

Assassin rattled in his dry, dead voice.

"...Can you hold Archer?"

"At most, it's just a matter of death."

As if discussing the weather, Assassin confirmed his fate with a relaxed posture that Kirei couldn't understand: "You don't have to know that what stands in front of you now is just a poor guy who has abandoned everything as a human being, and even lost face .”

Is that so...

Kirei lowered his head unconsciously and glanced at a dark rune that looked like a Command Seal on the back of his left hand that was involuntarily burned by Berserker.

If you see Emiya Kiritsugu, just use it to summon yourself—the guy ordered Kirei like this without being able to refuse.

...But, thinking about it now, Berserker himself probably interrupted the decisive battle between himself and Emiya Kiritsugu.This intention to kill with a knife is really too much.

And what Kirei expected was only the confrontation between himself and Emiya Kiritsugu.

"I will use Command Seals to order you at that time, and hold Archer at all costs."

Kirei stroked the crown-like rune on his right arm knowingly, and said softly to the Servant beside him, "It won't be too long... You must not fail."

"—as you wish."

The assassin wearing a white skull mask finally smiled contentedly.

After chatting with Yanfeng Lizheng for a while, Ying Zheng wisely let the exhausted Lizheng go to catch up on sleep.

What's more, Fuyuki City is currently holding the Holy Grail Battle, so he should be considered an illegal entry in name.It is a normal environment to get things quickly and leave quickly.

Yingzheng noticed most keenly that when he was talking to Lizheng, Lizheng's eyes swept over the back of his hand several times.

Undoubtedly, this should be to confirm whether Ying Zheng is a member of the Master, and they are looking for the command spell in his hand... As a result, they found nothing.

Ying Zheng was tricked into not having a command spell.If you want to find his Command Seal, you probably have to go to the Kingdom of Shadows.

After saying goodbye to Father Kotomine Rimasa, Ying Zheng pulled down his hood and quietly walked out of Fuyuki Church. He walked around a few times calmly, walked straight to a house, knocked on the door, and opened the door. The woman greeted kindly and walked in.

Seeing this, those familiars who followed all the way finally gave up and went back to the cage.I'm sure he's just an outback believer who goes to church to pray.

"idiot."

Ying Zheng sarcastically walked straight into the entrance, found a sofa at random and sat down.

The woman in an apron who had just opened the door for him just stood still holding the door handle, her eyes completely out of focus.

Of course she was not someone Ying Zheng had arranged in advance, and Ying Zheng didn't even know her name.

Ying Zheng just randomly selected a family that seemed relatively well-off.He only used expressive magic to hypnotize him instantly after he knocked on the door.

Demonstration magic can be said to be one of Yingzheng's professional skills, and he has not forgotten it even when he came to the world in the form of a Servant... I have to say that magic is really such a convenient skill.

Sitting on the sofa and stretching comfortably, Ying Zheng closed his eyes and sensed the position of the rune he left behind.

"How should I put it...it's expected."

Ying Zheng sighed deeply.

Although Kirei could follow his will to find Emiya Kiritsugu, it would indeed save Yingzheng a lot of trouble.Once Emiya and his son start running for their lives, it's really hard to catch... It's better to let Kotomine Kirei lure them out.

Long Night Dreams——Before I start a duel with Karna and Iskandar, I should clear away those annoying guys who are waiting to grab the head.Especially the red archers... so annoying, so annoying.

Taking out the fabricated self-imposed certificate from his sleeve, Ying Zheng threw it into the air and Xuxu drew a Rune to burn it.

After fooling Kirei in the past, its meaning is gone.

I can't help but feel that the persuasive power of this thing is quite strong.Too bad it's a fake.

Yingzheng's thinking is to suppress Kirei's level of magic so that he won't be able to see the real thing from the fake... No, based on Kirei's experience, I'm afraid the chances of seeing this thing are not many.

Besides... I'm afraid Kirei doesn't know that "Ying Zheng" is just his pseudonym.This name is his real name before he traveled to the world of Xingyue.

Only a few parties such as Kenneth and Aoqi Chengzi know that Ying Zheng's true identity in this world is the direct descendant of the lord of the Clock Tower Archeology Department (Rockslot), who produces aristocratic magic as an administrative class. division.

If Kenneth is considered to be the leader among the young magicians of the Bathmelo Department, then Ying Zheng, who obtained the priesthood at the age of 19, can also be called the leader among the major departments of the Meastia Department, which only cares about research. It is the most talented researcher.It can take two years to complete the Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System [Luck] on his own, and it is not very difficult for Ying Zheng to just fabricate the special effect of self-compulsory certification.

If it was Kenneth, he should probably recognize it.There are five or six false certificates that Yingzheng got to him alone.

But for Kirei who has only studied magic for three years and has only been taught by Tohsaka Tokiomi privately, it is good that he can recognize that this is a self-compulsory testimonial.

Now that Kotomine Kirei is looking for Emiya Kiritsugu...he doesn't have to waste time running around hunting that red wild rabbit.

For the rest of the time, how about going to Kenneth Iskandar?

Ying Zheng thought about it, and suddenly remembered a golden shadow, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled happily.

"Ah, how to forget that guy."

He stood up, snapped his fingers lightly to invalidate the indication magic, and left the house after transforming into a spirit body.

Anyway, if you are idle, you might as well talk to Karna (physics).
