Not scum not happy

The sky outside is not early morning as Zong Chun thought, but between afternoon and evening.

Living with Ryunosuke and Aosu, who are nocturnal and daytime, for several days, and in such an underground tunnel where there is no sunlight, his biological clock has long been disrupted.

The winter sun was not dazzling, he squinted his eyes for a while, and recovered quickly.

(Seeing the sun again...well, that's probably how it feels?)

Outside was a remote river bank, and the slowly flowing river looked clean. Takano Munejun turned his head to look at the place where he just came out—it was an abandoned drain.

He had no memory of how he was brought to this place, only that it was an underground passage.

From the air outlet here, there is a strange smelly wind blowing from the underground tunnel, probably due to being in such a smell for a long time and paralyzing the sense of smell, Zong Chun didn't even notice it before.

"Xiao Zong, see you later~"

Aosuke had already walked far away alone, Ryunosuke followed behind him, greeted him with three steps and turned his head, and then quickly followed in Aosuke's footsteps.

Zong Chun, who was left alone, showed a smile, and there was a bit of innocence on the child's face.

(Fine, time to do my thing now...)

***

Takano Munezu probably did not expect that his actions would have fallen into the eyes of others as early as the moment he stepped out of the underground tunnel.

Three strange guys of different heights, fat and thin, but wearing the same style of tight black suits and white bone masks gathered together, muttering.

"Am I not mistaken, that kid came out with Caster?" The taller one said in disbelief.

"What should we do? They left separately." One of them who looked like a woman said.

The last short man hesitated for a moment, and said: "...Never mind, anyway, the order only said that we should follow behind Caster and his Master."

The three of them seemed to exchange eyes through the masks, and then acquiesced in such a choice.

——Hassan Sabah, the Servant of the Assassin group Kotomine Kirei in this Holy Grail War.

As Servants, their frontal combat ability is too low, but their unique class ability "breath blocking" makes them not easily exposed even in front of Saber with the highest comprehensive ability, so it can be said that they are the most suitable for inquiring information. up.

Just a few hours ago, over the past few days, Ryunosuke used the power of Aosuke to abduct children wantonly, causing dozens of people to disappear, causing huge turmoil and panic among ordinary people in Fuyuki City, except for the Caster group. Each group was notified by the Church of the Holy Church, and everyone reached an agreement to temporarily stop the Holy Grail War, and the Caster group must be solved first.

However, the Assassins were monitoring Caster before this notification, or rather, the Holy Church priest Kotomine Risei, who supervised the Holy Grail War, knew of the audacity of the Caster group precisely because of the information from the Assassins. of.

Kotomine Kirei arranged for Assassin to act in secret at the beginning, and after the chaos in the warehouse street the day before, he succeeded or failed to add the other five groups except the Caster group that did not participate in the chaos.

Originally, Qingbe would not have been exposed so early, but unfortunately, he was completely confused by Saber's appearance, and ran to meet Saber on his own initiative, only to be followed by Assassin, who was watching Saber, and found those things that he and Ryunosuke had done together. Good job.

And now, also because Assassin was monitoring Aosu and Ryunosuke, Sojun was also exposed to their eyes.

As a watcher, Assassin knew very well what Aosuke and Ryunosuke had done, so seeing Takano Munejun appearing safely from the magic workshop with them, he felt very incredible.

In the lair of two perverts who abducted and tortured children and girls, there is actually a child who can come in and out safely!And from the looks of it, this child seems to have a good relationship with Caster's Master! ?

Such a situation made the three Assassins feel puzzled.

Originally, they should have reported such anomalies to Kotomine Kirei, but long after Kotomine Kirei designed the death of the first Assassin, the remaining Assassins had long since not been entirely of one mind with him.

Although under the restraint of the spell, the heroic spirits will fight as the servants of the magician, but after all, it is a semi-compulsory effect caused by external forces, not a loyalty from the heart—besides, these legendary Heroic spirits are always proud and arrogant. Even for a heroic spirit like Assassin who existed as a murder weapon during his lifetime, it is worth judging whether the current Master has the qualifications to hold this murder weapon.

Originally, they were only temporary accomplices, and they had no intention of betraying Kotomine Kirei immediately, but after one Assassin obeyed Kirei's order but was sent to death unconsciously, the remaining Assassins of course became alert, They had to rely more on their own judgment, lest they be sent to die by the Master who didn't spare them.

Anyway, this boy is just a child no matter how you look at it, and it will not have any impact on the battle situation. As a magician or heroic spirit, it would be too out of place to worry about such a child's impact on the battle situation, so the three discussed it a little, I don't plan to make any more troubles.

——If Zongchun knew about this, he would probably be extremely grateful to the Assassins.

What Munezumi Takano was going to now was the municipal library in Fuyuki City.

Regarding Qingxu's abnormal mood swings last night, he always felt that something was wrong.

Thinking back, it probably started when I saw the blond girl in the crystal ball yesterday evening, Qingxiu lost his initial calmness.

The blue beard who discussed with Zongjun earlier about the irrationality of the Holy Grail of the Universal Wishing Machine and simply admired Zongjun's coldness and Ryunosuke's creativity disappeared, and was replaced by a madman who completely fell into his own world.

The sense of crisis of not knowing when the typhoon will be swept away forced him to save himself as soon as possible.

But before that, he had to figure out one thing.

Although last night brought him so close to death, but at the same time he also got the same important message.

"Jean of Arc" - Qingxu did say this name.

This name is too famous. Even if Zong Chun lacks the necessary sense of reverence for the so-called history, he still has a lot of knowledge. In addition, the heroic spirits who participated in the Holy Grail War were originally myths and legends or well-known figures in history. , then whether it is the blond girl or the real body of Qingxiu itself is ready to come out.

Joan of Arc in France, and Joan of Arc's comrade-in-arms, the prototype of the fairy tale character "Blue Beard" - Baron Gilles de Rais.

Although he knew their real bodies, Zong Chun's understanding of them was only general, and he only knew that there were such two people in general.

Now that the goal has been determined, there is no more direct way to know the heroic deeds in history than to go to the library to check historical materials.

The heroic spirit's treasure is condensed according to their legends. If he can learn more about the deeds of these two people, it will help him to roughly understand and guess the strength and cards of the two, especially Qingxu.

——For Qingxu, even without any in-depth understanding, Zong Chun can already guess that the book sealed in human skin that he often carries on his body should be his treasure.

Then, going on, just guess the specific effect of that treasure from his deeds.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

——Zong Chun's strength is indeed too weak.

The reason why Assassin ignores him is not without such factors. A six-year-old boy, let alone an ordinary person, even a genius magician like Rin Tohsaka still has little impact on the Holy Grail War.

However, for Takano Munezumi, getting involved in the war unintentionally has become a fact. Since he is doomed to have a strong power in a short time, he should understand everything as much as possible so that he will not be so passive in the face of a crisis. the only way.

Fortunately, he didn't need to change the direction of the battle, as long as he could avoid being swept by Qingxu's typhoon tail, and avoid being affected by Chiyu when other combatants surrounded Qingxu.

Whether it is to deal with Qingxu next, or there are new changes in the matter, this information will be one of the reliance for Zongchun, who is powerless, to survive in this whirlpool.

—— Poor Zong Chun didn't know that Qingxu had misunderstood his saint because of his preconceived ideas. After all, looking at the surface, Saber's characteristics are indeed very consistent with Joan of Arc...

Zong Chun walked alone in an unnoticed corner of the street.

I have to thank the indifference of modern people, there is no "kind" passer-by who wants to send him to the police station.

Because of Ryunosuke's activities recently, the patrol density of police cars outside has increased a lot. Whenever a police car passes by on the street, Zong Chun will hide in an alley to avoid it temporarily.

This time, when we turned the corner from the alley, there were TVs piled up in the window of the home appliance store next door, and the flashing fluorescent screens were broadcasting today's news:

"...At the press conference held yesterday afternoon, the police spokesperson announced the latest developments in the recent serial murder case. The murderer's latest crime was X days ago, and the victim is the Hiyama family living in XX town. It has been confirmed Those killed were the parents and eldest daughter of the Hiyama family, while Yaozi was missing. The spokesperson said that the police did not find any direct evidence of Yaozi’s murder from the scene. This is likely to be the only survivor in the four serial killings that occurred in recent days... ..."

A picture of a boy appeared on the screen, with a strange name "Yuta Hiyama" written underneath.

There was no doubt that it was a photo of Takano Souno's body—it was just that no one recognized the connection between Souno and the boy on TV.

Takano Sosumi stopped and looked at his own reflection on the glass.

Compared with the healthy boy with double black on the screen, his hair is light flaxen, his amber golden eyes have a touch of emerald green, coupled with his delicate facial features that have not yet grown, his complexion is also much paler , is the kind of beauty that can be mistaken for a mixed race, and the cold expression is completely different from the mischievous and lively expression that can be seen in the original owner's photo.

He was wearing clothes that Ryunosuke had ripped off from someone who didn't know. He didn't want to guess the fate of the original owner of this suit. After living in such an environment for a few days, the original cleanliness is not counted. What's the matter, after all, no matter how big the cleanliness is, it's nothing more than one's own life.

——It’s strange that you can still recognize it after it has changed to this extent.

"...The next piece of news is about the recent child abduction case. The number of victims has risen to more than double digits. At the same time, the police remind citizens: try not to go out at night in the near future. People from all walks of life are welcome to actively provide various clues to the police ...The next piece of news is that a massive explosion occurred at the Hyatt Hotel in the city center today. According to expert analysis, this may be a terrorist attack, but so far no terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for it..."

The broadcast of the TV news was still going on, perhaps because the series of vicious news attracted people's attention, the surrounding pedestrians gradually gathered.

"What, the current police are really useless!"

"That's right, hurry up and catch that murderer!"

"Now I almost dare not take my children out..."

"There are also terrorist attacks, it's too dangerous!"

The people who stopped to watch the news chattered, Zong Chun felt a little bored, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked towards the destination that he had already asked for directions.

The author has something to say: Happy Theater (OOC caution):

Saber: Be good, Caster, open the door, Saber is here to check the water meter... Ah no, it's here to deliver water...

Caster is so excited that he can't speak, he just shoots in embarrassment and shows that the saint (?) who delivered the water is so handsome, he can't wait to marry (!) to her o(*///// ▽/////*)o
