single row ahead

Tears filled the eyes at an extremely fast speed, and flowed quickly across the entire immature face like a spring, his mouth was tightly blocked by a towel, and the boy who tried his best not to make a sound was finally trembling uncontrollably body betrayed.

Under the control of extremely tense nerves, the calf muscles contracted and convulsed out of the owner's will.

The rubber soles of the shoes rubbed against the smooth wooden floor, making harsh noises, like thunderclaps in the boy's ears.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Accelerator slowly flattened the corners of his mouth. The blood-boiling excitement came and went quickly. After the enemy who made him lose his breath, it only took a breath to cool down. With one hand inserted into the back of the head, he scratched the soft white hair by the roots of his white hair, and his red eyes, which were as cold as glass beads, turned and glanced indifferently at the corner where the sound of breathing suddenly stopped.

Before the boy suffocated due to fear, Accelerator sighed and recovered his usual sleepy expression. Before anyone provoked his sensitive bloodthirsty nerves, even the No. [-] student standing at the top of Academy City One, Accelerator with the superpower that can easily destroy a city, looks like an ordinary boy with a little indifference at this moment.

"Hey, brat." Fang Accelerator said casually, and then, as expected, he found that the black shadow with only one outline trembled even more violently.

With a click of his tongue, Accelerator simply shut his mouth, and walked towards the brat without making a sound.

When passing by the other two corpses in this room, he deliberately cast two eyes. They were a man and a woman. Combined with the only surviving kid, it was easy to think of a family of three.

His so-called 'master' is really a joke.This thought flashed through Accelerator's mind.

If you only look at his behavior of killing his current master immediately after being summoned, you may mistakenly think how righteous he is filled with righteous indignation, and how dissatisfied he is with his master's stinking ditch.

But in fact, Accelerator didn't have much thought about Ryunosuke Yusheng's behavior.

In other words, in Accelerator's eyes, his behavior was a hundred times more despicable than Ryunosuke Yusheng's, and he had no right to accuse others hypocritically from a standpoint of justice.

Killing Yusheng Ryunosuke was only because an unpleasant little bug happened to crawl over on the way forward, and he just happened to have the ability to crush it to death.

That's it.

Crouching down, he neatly tore off the tape binding the boy's hands and feet, and Accelerator opened his mouth to the boy who was obviously stunned by this development which was very different from what he expected.

After trying a few times, because he couldn't say anything good, Accelerator finally raised his eyebrows again, put on the villainous face he is best at, and said, "Little devil! Get out of here!"

"Wow!"

Before the tears on his face were dry, he was frightened into tears again. The boy staggered and crawled out of this former home, but now he could only call it a home. the premises of hell.

Accelerator stood up, feeling that the "magic power" in his body that had just formed a loop back and forth was suddenly disconnected and passed away quickly. Even though he knew that this was his reliance on keeping in this world, he didn't care much about it, and even faintly felt it. relieved.

Even though he is now just a sprite whose body is made of magic and projected into the real world, but with all his memories, he has always accepted the scientific concept that the world of Academy City is a matter of course, and he is still somewhat dissatisfied with the worldview on the magic side.

But even if you feel awkward, you can't just let the magic continue to drain.

Before Accelerator lost too much magic power, he calculated the formula and sealed the remaining magic power in his body.

Flipping through the information forced into his mind, Yifang Accelerator was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself: "The cup of miracles that can fulfill all wishes, if this is what Yuko Ichihara said about it... "

The red pupils of the white-haired boy quietly burned with the inevitable fire, he evoked a bloody smile, a boy who grew up in a distorted environment that regarded human life as a speck of dust, even if he wanted to repay the love he met. With little kindness, he will only use the cruel methods that he is best at, which is frightening.

"...Don't worry, my uncle will definitely fetch it for you."

"You have to obediently stand where you are and wait for me obediently, don't run around, this is the last work."

The emaciated young man didn't stay any longer, and walked out of the room that couldn't see a gleam of light, leaving all kinds of bloody horrors behind him indifferently.

.

And in the church with closed doors and closed curtains, which was covered with an ominous dark color, a priest dressed in jet black clasped his fists and chest, with his palms lightly pressed against the ironed silver cross, his head drooping slightly, and his eyelids slightly lowered. Hey, praying sincerely.

The shadow thicker than the abyss behind the priest moved slightly, and a ghostly figure quietly appeared at some point.

"Master," was a surprisingly hoarse voice like an old man, and the black-clothed ghost, who was clearly as vigorous as a young man, reported respectfully, "There is an internal battle in the Caster group, the master has confirmed his death, and has lost his qualification to participate in the battle."

"Really." The black-clothed priest known as master slowly opened his eyes, with a calm expression and a flat tone.

Kotomine Kirei was stunned for a moment, surprised by his calmness, he paused slightly, and then he continued as if nothing had happened, as if realizing that his tone was a little too calm, and his tone in the next sentence was abruptly ups and downs, Emotions take on the excitement of "should".

"That's really great. One of the teacher's competitors has self-destructed so easily." Kotomine Kirei raised the corners of his mouth, and his tone was pleasantly surprised. At first glance, no one would suspect that this man with a happy face was not a Sincerely add a happy loyal student to the teacher's chances of winning.

However, those deep eyes, lifeless and unmoving, were incompatible with the expression on his face, and there was no trace of joy.

Of course Kotomine Kirei knew that he should be happy for his teacher at this time, and he did show it that way. However, what happened was contrary to his wishes. He only felt that his chest was empty, and only the gale wind howled in the void, and the only thing in it was The remaining heat swept away, and the heart constricted because of the bone-piercing cold, and even brought a burst of pain that made the coating of the tongue bitter.

In any case, this feeling cannot be called a pleasant feeling, but it was because he heard the news that the teacher was one step closer to the source of magic that he pursued all his life, and it was because he thought of the ecstatic gesture of the teacher after he achieved his wish. The teacher's distant happiness, which still exists only in the imagination, is painful.

Kotomine Kirei subconsciously ignored the twisted malice in his heart, stared at the crucified Jesus in front of him, and muttered to himself, "But in this way, if something unexpected happens, the original plan needs to be revised. .”

"Assassin."

"Yes, master."

"Tonight's plan is as usual... But before that, I need to 'recover' the master of the caster group. It will be difficult to deal with it if it causes panic among ordinary people." Kotomine Kirei listened from his own mouth Speech clear and firm yet hypocritical words.

Perhaps there are also some reasons for fulfilling the duties of the church, eliminating traces of magic on the scene, and preventing the magic world from being exposed to ordinary people, but the main purpose is to recover the remaining spells from the dead master and add a bargaining chip to the teacher's victory.

But this action is not in the plan he discussed with the teacher, he must first report to the teacher.

However, in addition to this natural thought, there is another trace of malice coming out of nowhere, whispering and bewitching beside his ear——

[Don’t you want to see the teacher’s expression, which is always serious and sure of winning, how it will be distorted into anger and stunned when he knows that he was betrayed by his most trusted disciple? ]

No, all his actions are to help the teacher achieve what he wants.

"Yes, master." Assassin bowed his head respectfully, and then asked in an uncomfortable hoarse voice, "Master, do you need to tell Archer's team that the plan has changed?"

"...No need. It's just a trivial matter. The teacher is already very busy, so don't bother him." Kotomine Kirei murmured, as if explaining to Assassin, but also as if convincing himself.

"I see, master." Assassin replied without doubt.

.

On the other side, Accelerator was sitting in an Internet cafe with noisy voices and turbid air, carelessly opening the dark net that had never been seen in the sun in an Internet cafe where people come and go without any privacy at all, and he didn't care about the outside world. In this way, the last layer of fig leaf was turned into a transparent plastic film that everyone could see.

[...Who participated in this year's Holy Grail War? ]

[Hey, guest, it’s hard for me to answer this question.The Holy Grail War has just begun after 60 years, and even the master was selected not long ago. ]

[...Is this the only skill that the most famous intelligence dealer in the world has?Don't know any of them? ]

[As long as I can't buy information here, I will definitely not be able to buy it elsewhere.However, I don’t know who will choose the master of the Holy Grail War. The Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City is actually the Einzbern family, the Tohsaka family, and the Maqili family—that is, the Matou family—three families As planned, as the planners of the Holy Grail War, these three families will definitely not miss this grand event, but I am not sure which member of the three families will participate. ]

[This is enough, let’s make a price. ]

[No need, really, this kind of information can be obtained by anyone with a little knowledge, it does not reflect my value at all.It's so frustrating not being able to satisfy your guests.If I still charge money, my signboard will be smashed. ]

Yifang Accelerator no longer paid attention to what the intelligence dealer said, he narrowed his red eyes slightly, and looked at the names of the three major families of "Einzbern Family", "Tohsaka Family" and "Maqili Family" glowing with blue light, Chewing these words back and forth between his lips and teeth.

Under the dim light of the computer screen, a chilling smile slowly appeared on his increasingly sick face.

"—I'm sorry, that kid is still waiting for my uncle to bring her back, you bastards just accept your fate and be a comfortable stepping stone!"
