News came from the church that Tony used to be a member of the Magic Association.

He was just expelled from the Magic Association about a few months ago, and it seems that he did something that the Magic Association couldn't tolerate.That incident was suppressed, and no news was leaked. Except for some irrelevant superficial information, the Holy Church could not find out anything else.

A former magician...what could he do that would cause him to be expelled from the Magic Association?

Two days later, the Holy Church sent another message.

Some important figures from the Magic Association are gathering in Qifeng Town, and this town is about to become unstable.

If the important figures from the Magic Association come, Emiya Kiritsugu will not be able to come and go as freely as he is now.Those people saw him as a thorn in their side and would never mind getting rid of Tony as well as getting rid of him.

Emiya Kiritsugu had better finish the wishing machine incident before the members of the Magic Association and the Church of the Holy Church arrived in Qifeng Town, otherwise he would have no chance.If the Magic Association, the Holy Church, and Kotomine Kirei, who is next to him, who is having a headache on how to get rid of him, are all mixed together, there will be few others, and it will be very difficult to do anything.

"You'll be in trouble when people from the Magic Association come." Kotomine Kirei stated.

"Yes." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "I'm going to meet Turner."

"He's emotionally unstable right now, he's a ticking time bomb."

"When those people come, I guess I won't have the chance to see Turner again." Emiya Kiritsugu said.Hurry up now to find out what's going on, maybe you can find some useful information.

Kotomine Kirei nodded, Emiya Kiritsugu was right, but Kotomine Kirei could not see Turner, Turner had a deep prejudice against him.But if he wasn't watching, Emiya Kiritsugu wouldn't have returned to Kotomine Kirei's room after communicating with Turner obediently.

Emiya Kiritsugu stood up and walked to the door, saying, "I'm leaving." Seeing that Kotomine Kirei didn't respond, he opened the door and strode away.

Dangerous and strange man.

Kotomine Kirei propped his chin with one hand, watching Emiya Kiritsugu leave.

He just didn't know what to do with Emiya Kiritsugu, who wouldn't tell him what he wanted to know, plus he had to see an investigator later.The more important news, the church uses oral instructions.

Kotomine Kirei opened the door, and a man with red eyes and black hair stood outside.Seeing him, the latter smiled.

"Hi." Tony greeted him.

Kotomine Kirei was taken aback.Emiya Kiritsugu had described Tony's appearance to him, so it's not that he couldn't think of the identity of the person in front of him, but he didn't understand why he took the initiative to find him.

"My name is Tony." Tony said with a smile, "Your killer friend should have told you something about me, are you interested in having a cup of coffee with me?"

Kotomine Kirei looked at him.

After a while, he retracted the black key with his hand hidden behind his back.

"No problem," he said.

Leaving aside the infinite wishes, Turner is just an ordinary person who doesn't understand or think about hiding anything.When Emiya Kiritsugu came outside the window of Turner's house, he saw the latter on the bed in the room, with the posture of a pensive person, with a lifeless look in his painful expression.

Emiya Kiritsugu knocked on the door three times, which was enough to attract the attention of the people in the room but not enough to cause shock.

Turner froze for a moment before raising his head.He hesitated for a while before opening the door. The people outside the door surprised him.

"It's you." Turner was a little afraid to look directly at the man outside the door.

"Turner, can we talk calmly?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't, I..." Turner was at a loss for words, spreading his hands meaninglessly in front of him, and then retracting them.Emiya Kiritsugu thought of the ability that this person had described him before, and now probably just thinking about this ability in his heart, he couldn't feel so relaxed.

"I know a general idea." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "What wish did you make? Turner."

He walked into the room and closed the door with his backhand. Turner felt some inexplicable pressure and took a few steps back.

"My... uh, my first wish was to have the opportunity to make unlimited wishes, because the price for that person to fulfill his wish was his soul, so I immediately made another wish of immortality."

"who's that person?"

"I don't know, I don't know his name, his eyes are red."

"I see." Red Eye, it should be Tony, "What's the matter with the soul?" Tony was just talking about it for fun, but why Turner turned it into a soul again.

"I thought it was something horrible like going to hell, it's always shown on TV." Turner couldn't help but clenched his hands, "I thought I could avoid this result by making a wish to live forever, so I dodged it. I... actually didn't want to do anything to you, just, just wanted to teach him a lesson and bully him. He always takes his lover and children with him, and he can't see my feelings at all. I hate being next to him when I'm at a party And his lover and children, I don't like it at all, but I never thought about letting them die, I..."

Emiya Kiritsugu noticed that Turner's emotions were getting more and more agitated, and hurriedly said: "Calm down, you already know the danger of your 'infinite wish'? Calm down, don't inadvertently make mistakes again."

"Sorry, sir, I can't calm down." Turner's tears flowed down, "He's gone, he's gone." He covered his face, trembling all over, "I'm just irritable and don't know what to do , he keeps calling me, I'm annoying, really annoying, I don't want anyone to bother me. He doesn't know my difficulty, I tell him to go and be with his lover and kids and leave me alone, then I just Never saw him again. Woohoo."

Did it unintentionally cause another tragedy?Emiya Kiritsugu guessed in advance that the wife and child were killed by Turner unintentionally, but he didn't expect to hear such a thing again today.The annoying thing is that Turner's desire to live forever prevents him from effectively preventing such things from happening.

"I'm too bad, aren't I." Turner murmured nervously, "Just disappear."

The room fell into deathly silence for a moment, Emiya Kiritsugu was startled, then dropped his hands helplessly.

Kotomine Kirei and Tony were sitting in a cafe near the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"The purpose of my coming here is to investigate and deal with the so-called wishing machine, which is equivalent to coming to kill you. How can you be sure that I will be tempted to make a wish that will bring me despair?" Kotomine Kirei said, watching The person opposite said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you here, Tony."

"Whoever said it would bring despair, I didn't say that," Tony said. "If making a wish makes you feel painful, it must be your wish is wrong, and that's not my fault. You can make a wish in advance." Think about it for yourself, what kind of wish is what you need most at present, and it will not cause bitter fruit.”

"The cost of the soul is just a cover to scare people?"

"Of course not." Tony blinked. "That's a debt to be paid after death. It's not a free gift. You're alive now, so you don't need to worry about what you'll look like after death. If you're really worried, you can talk to Turner Similarly, make a wish with unlimited wishes, and then wish to live forever. If you are a seasoned killer like you, you should know how control does not cause embarrassing results."

"I'm not that boring." The man didn't know his identity.

"You're obviously boring." Tony said, "If it weren't for the emptiness in your heart, I wouldn't have found you."

This sentence made Kotomine Kirei think of another aspect.

"Why didn't you find Emiya Kiritsugu? That person should have a desire to be fulfilled urgently."

"That person?" Tony wasn't interested in talking about Emiya Kiritsugu, "I'm not interested in the other one, that person is filled with one goal, and there's no room for anything else."

"What goal? People who have an urgent desire, shouldn't they want to have the opportunity to make a wish?"

"His wish is a world without misfortune." Tony spread his hands, "Doesn't this wish make it impossible for me to play?"

"A world without misfortune?" It was really a grand goal, which surprised him. "Will this wish really come true?"

Tony took a sip of the coffee in the cup, looked up and said, "No, because I don't want to deal with the other one, so I don't even have a chance to make a wish." He looked regretful, "Usually the retribution of wrong wishes is retribution. On the wisher himself and the people around him, but in the case of "a world without misfortune", of course including himself, I am quite interested to see what the final result will be."

Tony thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, I hate this wish."

"I thought any wish could come true." Kotomine Kirei said.Although the ability of Turner's unlimited desires always causes bad things, this ability is absolutely extraordinary. If it is used without restriction, it will be terrible.

"Do you want to be punished for his good wishes? People around Emiya Kiritsugu."

"Of course not." Kotomine Kirei said bluntly, "He and I are not even considered colleagues."

"I told him that you are the only one who can be regarded as a little friendly, and you are the first cannon fodder." Tony smiled gloatingly, and then waved his hand, "Let's not talk about him, I am really not interested in him. You are very attractive to me, Yanfeng Kirei, you who are evil in nature and full of confusion, don't you really want to do something to enrich yourself?"

"I don't know what to do, I don't have a goal." Kotomine Kirei's mind was still on Emiya Kiritsugu's wish.

"This state is not uncommon." Tony seemed to be very experienced, "But you can't feel nothing at all, right?"

Kotomine Kirei stared at Tony, who also stared at him.The coffee in front of him remained untouched.

"Kotomine Kirei, is there not a single factor in your life that makes you feel different? Think about it carefully." Even if you are in a strict environment from birth, it is impossible to completely suppress the essence. Sometimes it pops up like it does.

The first thing that popped up in Kotomine Kirei's mind was the man he had a strong desire to explore for the first time.

"Emiya... Kiritsugu?"

"What attracted you to him?"

"I wondered what his purpose was, but now I know."

"Not interested in him now?"

Kotomine Kirei didn't respond, Tony saw the answer in his eyes.

"You didn't know what the hell you were going to do, so you stepped on his tail and let it go," Tony said. "You didn't know why you were interested in him."

Kotomine Kirei still didn't respond.

"Do you want to see him cry or see him laugh, you are not a person who likes beautiful things, like me." Tony began to think to himself, "I like to see people desperate, but the pain and fear caused by pure violence is too low-level , I like to give them hope, to savor their transition from contentment to despair to collapse. I enjoy the irony in the middle. You know? Beautiful things are often tinged with malice."

Kotomine Kirei's eyes fluctuated a little, he lowered his head, looking at the calm surface of the liquid in the coffee cup.

"You can start with that man and discover who you really are."
