【言切】nervous

The bite marks on the skin, they were looming under the loose collar.

Emiya Kiritsugu stopped after eating about [-]% full, wiped his mouth, feeling that he was much angrier.Hunger and weakness can affect thinking, and now he can have a good chat with the man in front of him.

Looking up just to meet Kamigotomine Kirei's steady gaze, Emiya Kiritsugu leaned back on the back of the chair, thinking about how to speak.

He is not good at demagogy.

The waiter came and took away the leftovers.

"Do you know how the Magic Association reacted to Tony's resurrection?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked.

"I can't tell you." Kotomine Kirei said.

"I am your teacher."

Kotomine Kirei silently watched his bluff.

"Okay." Emiya Kiritsugu changed the subject, "Why are you comparing me with your wife?" It was really an awkward sentence.

"I love her, she loves me, she has a terminal illness and is a mortal person, but she tries to heal me who can't experience joy, but I want to see her despair even more." Kotomine Kirei seemed to be talking about someone else's experience, with a face on his face His expression didn't fluctuate.

"Are you sure you've loved someone?"

"Um……"

Emiya Kiritsugu had never encountered such a personality as Kotomine Kirei, probably he did have this kind of personality who was born not suitable for beauty, and only liked to taste negative emotions such as sin and pain.Kotomine Kirei is very likely to become a heinous person. Facing such a guy, his response is usually to kill him, but this one is really a bit difficult to deal with.

"We just slept a few times, are you sure you love me?"

"Not sure." Kotomine Kirei said.He just thought of the regrets in the past, and now he wants to try to be more active.Since he regrets not doing it, he must be satisfied after doing it.

"That's good." Emiya Kiritsugu thought he would receive the most terrifying confession in his life.

"But maybe it's because I have that kind of feeling for you." Kotomine Kirei said, "When I was in your body, I could feel pleasure when I held you and bit you and heard you cry out in pain. Even better when you're crying."

A waiter who was passing by with a plate staggered, stood still and left in a hurry.

Emiya Kiritsugu was a little embarrassed. "Let's go back." He said, standing up.

"Given that the sexual intercourse you like can bring pleasure to most people who don't have frigidity, I don't recommend adding this feeling to your consideration of human nature." On the way home, Emiya Kiritsugu said explain.

Kotomine Kirei, who was walking beside him, nodded.

"You can try to change your thinking. I mean...you should put down the work at hand and experience the happy life of a normal person."

"Continue to perfunctory." Kotomine Kirei said flatly.

Emiya Kiritsugu sighed.Why did he have to talk about this kind of topic with such a guy.

"What do you think is going to happen to Tony?" he asked.

"die."

"Last time I gave him a bullet first, are you here this time?"

Kotomine Kirei couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Huh?"

"Tony will be dead sooner or later, don't you want to do it yourself?"

"I haven't thought about it." Kotomine Kirei said, "I'm more interested in you."

They just walked to the door of the house, the two fell silent at the same time, and Emiya Kiritsugu opened the door.They entered the room, neither of them had anything to do at the moment, so they sat on the sofa together.

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at the person next to him, who was looking at him, not knowing what he was thinking about.

It was like this for a while.

"If you express your love in another way, maybe I will accept it." Emiya Kiritsugu said.

Kotomine Kirei was stunned for a moment, then became a little dazed, and then shifted his gaze to his toes.

"Maybe it's just because you have been educated in the righteous way for too long that you have a rebellious mentality in your heart, or maybe you are born with the potential for a job like executioner." Emiya Kiritsugu continued, "You can take one without pain. It’s not itchy, a character whose ending is doomed to test.”

Kotomine Kirei turned his gaze back to Emiya Kiritsugu's face again, pondered for a moment, and said, "It seems to be good."

"Very good." Emiya Kiritsugu heaved a sigh of relief.

"We take on Tony together?"

"Correct."

"Mate and partner?"

"why?"

"This should be regarded as a different way of expressing my love." Kotomine Kirei just remembered the short but normal feelings related to love that he had experienced with his wife. On the other hand, he thought this trend was quite interesting.

"Uh……"

"Ok?"

"...Up to you." Emiya Kiritsugu put one hand on his forehead, "I'm a little tired, go to sleep for a while." After he finished speaking, he got up and left.

Watching Emiya Kiritsugu's back until it disappeared, Kotomine Kirei raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

He felt a little different from usual emotions, this is... Pleasure?

Looking forward to the next developments.

Kotomine Kirei did not forget their first cooperation in the golem incident.That can never be forgotten.

---------------

The residence of the Tohsaka family.

"...Do you understand, Kirei?" Tohsaka Tokiomi finished the last instruction, straightened up, walked to Kotomine Kirei, and asked.

"Understood, I have roughly written it down." Kotomine Kirei looked at the huge magic circle drawn with animal blood on the wide ground in front of him, "If there are more, you need to make it yourself from beginning to end. "

"Well, let's start doing it yourself now."

"Okay." Kotomine Kirei nodded.

Tohsaka Tokiomi walked outside the door, his partner who was good at using blue flames crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, staring vigilantly and coldly behind Kotomine Kirei.

"You seem to have inexplicable hostility towards him." Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at him and said.

"I always feel that he is not worthy of trust." The other party said, "As a church of the Holy Church, he exudes an unacceptable gloom from the tips of his hair to the soles of his shoes, which is disgusting."

"You hate everyone in the Holy Church." Tosaka Tokiomi smiled indifferently.

"They're worth it."

When Kotomine Kirei successfully drew a complicated magic circle, Tosaka Tokiomi couldn't help but praise.Aptitude aside, Kotomine Kirei's attitude when studying is very commendable, he is a good apprentice.He took out a small transparent square box that looked like glass, and handed it to the apprentice.

"If you have a chance to get the stone, don't let it touch your skin for too long, put it in this temporarily sealed box, and you will be safe." He carefully instructed.

The box looks exquisite and small, but it is unexpectedly heavy in the hand.

"is teacher."

Emiya Kiritsugu resumed walking outside.Although Kotomine Kirei and Kotomine Kirei made a temporary plan to deal with Tony together as friends, Kotomine Kirei never told him about the reaction of the Magic Association and the Holy Church to Tony's resurrection, so he had to investigate by himself.

Well, a close friendship.

How could he live with such an inexplicable guy back then.

Tony has caused an ordinary happy family to fall apart in just half a month. He is really not stingy at all about disclosing his whereabouts, but he can always disappear before the pursuers arrive.Several times, Emiya Kiritsugu almost ran into people from the Magic Association. Fortunately, Tony's brilliance caught most of those people's minds.

The Magic Association and the Church of the Holy Church began to work together, but it was obvious that most of them did not like each other.If anyone wants to spark a fire between these two parties, now is the time.

For some unknown reason, Kotomine Kirei was able to come and go freely in the mansion of Tohsaka, a great family of magicians, as if entering and leaving his own territory.Did something happen between Tohsaka Tokiomi and him... It should have something to do with the cooperation against Tony.He was wrong before, Kotomine Kirei is more than just a double agent.

Although the atmosphere was tense, Emiya Kiritsugu could see the orderliness hidden in the atmosphere.

It seemed like these guys had some sort of grasp on the way Tony looked, or that pebble.Tony didn't seem to care much.

Is it possible that he is hiding in Tohsaka's house...Kotomine Kirei suddenly became so friendly with the senior members of the Holy Church Church, it's really suspicious.

Based on the information known so far, Emiya Kiritsugu decided to temporarily settle down and wait and see what happens.Tony is interested in Kotomine Kirei, the latter is not easy to deal with, maybe he can expect both of them to lose.

As a partner or something, it is enough to act occasionally.

Except at night, Kotomine Kirei didn't feel that the relationship between partner and partner was any different from before.This may be because he is not good at this aspect, and Emiya Kiritsugu is not happy about it and cares so much.

This morning it was difficult to get out of bed with the cohabitant who was getting more and more restless in the room all day.Ah, it should be said that it is a lover.

But when he returned to the apartment in the afternoon, the room was still empty.

Kotomine Kirei didn't care about this phenomenon, because today he needed a quiet place.Looking up at the ceiling, he internally estimated the width.

Mr. Killer, who came back late, smelled a bloody smell before he got close to the door.He drew out his gun vigilantly and walked lightly.From the half-open window, he saw Kotomine Kirei squatting on the ground, drawing amulets on the ground with blood.

Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his vigilance, put away his gun, pushed open the door and entered.

"Have the people of God finally been unable to resist the temptation of the devil and have decided to flee to Satan's arms?" He changed his slippers and said with his back against the wall.His nose wrinkled slightly from the smelly temperature in the room.

"It's so strange that you're joking." Kotomine Kirei said without raising his head.

"It's called sarcasm."

"Okay." Kotomine Kirei said, "This is a small prop to prevent the demon Tony from invading the apartment."

"It's disgusting."

"I think so too." Kotomine Kirei kept working on his hands, "If you haven't had dinner yet, there are chickens in the kitchen."

Emiya Kiritsugu opened the kitchen door, glanced inside, and immediately frowned and closed the door with a "bang".The kitchen was littered with chicken carcasses.

"I go out to eat and clean the room before I come back," he said.

"That's going to take a while." Tonight alone won't do it.

"I don't mind." Emiya Kiritsugu went outside and closed the door very simply.

Kotomine Kirei, who had a heavy workload, immersed himself in drawing the magic circle. After a while, he suddenly raised his head with an expression as if he suddenly thought of something.

Did his lover just say that he wouldn't mind going from morning to evening to several days and then back home?

Mr. Clergy takes a shower in the bathroom in the middle of the night.He had just finished cleaning the room, and opened the windows to ventilate for several hours. The bloody smell in the room was finally not as serious as it was at first.The chicken blood had dried up and stuck to the wall.Except for the toilet, bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen, there are two other rooms, one on the ground and one on the ceiling. They seem to be the same, but the lines of the spells are actually completely opposite.

"It's really murderous." Tony sneered.

No one knows where he appeared, but suddenly he was standing in front of the sink.

The sound of water in the bath stopped suddenly, Kotomine Kirei pushed aside a corner of the shower curtain, and saw Tony standing in the bathroom in a relaxed state.

"That was developed by the Magic Association to deal with you," he said.

"Hmm, I can feel the ominous aura from far away, and I came here because I was curious."

Kotomine Kirei paused, and said, "I'm taking a bath."

"I didn't peek," Tony said nonchalantly.

"..." Kotomine Kirei hesitated for a moment, and put down the shower curtain.After a while, the sound of running water sounded again.

"This ultimate move is quite powerful." Tony opened the bathroom door, stared at the double-layer magic circle outside, thoughtful, "Although everyone's personality is messed up, the IQ of the people in the Magic Association is not too high. Ugly."

"Aren't you also a member of the Magic Association?" Kotomine Kirei said.

Tony blinked his eyes, and after a moment of dullness, he said, "Ah, yes." His tone was a little strange, but Kotomine Kirei couldn't tell what was so strange.It's a bit like being reminded that I should have such an identity.

"This apartment is full of threats to you, how dare you come here to watch the excitement?" Kotomine Kirei said, coming out of the bathtub wearing a bathrobe, "Anyway, my task is to kill you, Bring back the stones, so it's better for you to stop shaking in front of me."

"How could I be stupid enough to go under those things myself," Tony said. "It seems that your relationship with Mr. Killer is going to be interesting."

"Yes, I think so too." Kotomine Kirei walked outside the bathroom door, turned around, and faced Tony inside, "I actually didn't have much hope for this method, you should be more wary."

Tony looked at him suspiciously, reacted quickly, tried to leave through the window but found that he was blocked by invisible obstacles in the bathroom.He suddenly turned his head and stared at Kotomine Kirei gloomyly, his expression no longer as comfortable as before.

As the heat rose, the magic circle on the ceiling of the bathroom slowly took shape.Kotomine Kirei covered the dried chicken blood with something, and the floor was the same.

"Ahhh..." Tony looked at his feet and made an inexplicable sound.

"The circles in other rooms confused your sense of smell, didn't they?" Kotomine Kirei stated expressionlessly.He hadn't had much hope that this would work.

"Yes." Tony raised his head again, "Good job, Kirei."

Kotomine Kirei saw that the bright red in Tony's eyes quickly turned dark red and gradually faded, and finally his eyes turned black, and his expression also changed.Tony's surprise, but more of a lack of worry, turned into horror, unacceptability, and helplessness.

"No..." His pupils dilated, and he stared at the person at the door in fear, "It's not me...I..."

Tony's body was scorching fast, like it was being burned by fire, but there was actually no spark here.In the end, Tony turned into a charred corpse and fell down.

A small round black stone fell down and rolled to stop at Kotomine Kirei's feet.

Kotomine Kirei bent down, put the stone into the transparent box given by Tosaka Tokiomi, and stood there, somewhat confused about what happened to Tony's words and changes before his death.The burnt smell permeated, and he couldn't help frowning.

Time to clean up again.

Emiya Kiritsugu saw all the interactions between Kotomine Kirei and Tony from the monitor, and felt the same doubts as Kotomine Kirei.

After Kotomine Kirei cleaned everything up, he returned to the apartment in the early morning of the next day. The small stone was placed on the bedside table in the bedroom, and the transparent box was opened without warning.

"Tony probably won't come back to life." Kotomine Kirei said.

"En." Emiya Kiritsugu responded lightly.

The killer stared at the stone, and the priest stared at the killer, silent for a while.

"For you, do you want it?" Kotomine Kirei first broke the weird silence.

The killer turned to look at him.

"There is no reason." Kotomine Kirei said, "If you have to find a reason, I think you can keep it better. If the Church and the Magic Association keep it together, there will be troubles sooner or later." No one knows where the stone is. An excellent protective film.

There was another reason why he decided to give this thing to Emiya Kiritsugu.

Ever since he handed the inconceivable little stone to Emiya Kiritsugu that day, that guy disappeared.But fortunately, the place he went to was not too difficult to find. After knowing this man's habits, if he didn't hide deliberately, basically his whereabouts were not difficult to track.

It was a quite remote town called Weishan, away from the noisy city, surrounded by endless mountains, and only one road connected to the outside world.Secluded, quiet and peaceful.Most of the time in the past, what could be considered a big case here was nothing more than a husband and wife quarreling, and the wife slapped the husband twice.

But not long ago, a weird, disgusting, and unbelievable murder happened here—a townsman disappeared for a month, and his body was found in the mountains and forests, leaving only a skeleton.The traces of flesh and blood adhered to the bones made one unable to resist the first thought of some ferocious man-eating monster that devoured this poor guy alive.

This case has caused a lot of reaction, of course panic, and the resentment of the police who don't have much experience in handling murder cases, but now have to be overwhelmed by it, and wish they could have 48 hours a day.

Mr. Killer was on the bar counter, holding a glass in his hand, toasting the clergy not far away.

When this guy doesn't chase him around the world, he might not get used to it.

Kotomine Kirei sat next to him, with that slightly dull look in his eyes.

"Has the church found anything?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked softly, as if talking to himself.

"No." He had only been here half a day, and had just left from the coroner's office, "What about you?"

It's natural to start a conversation, when the facial expressions and verbal sarcasm about "how to get rid of you", "workaholic lover left me and ran away", etc. become lazy and unnecessary, what to do, Both parties will make their own decisions based on the wishes of the other party.

"There are rumors in the local area that ferocious beasts such as man-eating lions or tigers appeared in the forest." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "I went around the place where the corpse was found, and found a cave some distance away. .”

"how?"

"I walked in, and probably walked less than 20 meters." Emiya Kiritsugu said, pulling up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing his bandaged arm.

"What is it?" Kotomine Kirei's expression became serious, the bandage-covered arm couldn't see what the scars were like, but it could be guessed from the large-scale bandaging that the arm was severely injured.

"I didn't see clearly, it was too dark, the flashlight was knocked out." Emiya Kiritsugu pulled down his sleeves again, lit his cigarette and put it on.Not long after he tidied up his wound, he met Kotomine Kirei here.

"Give me one," said the priest.

The two were smoking a cigarette in the bar, thinking at the same time.

"Ah, that's right." Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have thought of something suddenly, with his good hand he took out a small black box, pushed it in front of Kotomine Kirei, "return the gift."

Kotomine Kirei glanced at the rather delicate-looking small box, and looked at the person next to him in puzzlement. "What return?" he asked.

"It's stone." The other party said.

"Stone?" Kotomine Kirei was very surprised, he didn't expect that there would be a gift in return, after all he would give that thing to Emiya Kiritsugu purely for other purposes.His suspicious eyes wandered on Emiya Kiritsugu's face, the latter seemed to be giving something to someone for the first time, with a slightly awkward expression on his face, which was well hidden.

Kotomine Kirei opened the box, and inside was a pair of delicate earrings.There is a small round black bead inlaid on the front end, which reminds him of incredible small stones.

"My God." He whispered, "You actually gave me such a thing." Give yourself this big man earrings! ! !

"Recommended by the clerk warmly, lover's favorite."

"Did you emphasize the sex of your lover?"

"What? No."

Apparently when buying gifts, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't think about the important key of having to explain the lover's gender, he just asked and then bought it.

"Don't you think it's strange for men to wear such things?" Kotomine Kirei pinched the small earrings, his brows furrowed.

Emiya Kiritsugu picked up another earring in the box and put it on his right ear.

Kotomine Kirei was speechless for a moment, "Okay." He said helplessly, and stuck the earring in his hand on his left ear.

"Aren't you going to get your ears pierced first?" Emiya Kiritsugu said.

"No need."

"Oh."

It was just around midnight, and the bar was very lively, but there was a strange silence between the two of them.Probably because Emiya Kiritsugu realized that his move was too abrupt, and Kotomine Kirei also felt indescribably surprised and slightly embarrassed, and for a while, both sides chose to remain silent.

"The stud earrings are nice and beautiful." The bartender who watched the whole process said, "Are you the police dispatched from outside to investigate the case?" He guessed it should be, although the conversation between the two people was a bit strange, and the clothes were not professional.

"Thank you, yes." Emiya Kiritsugu said to him.

"Oh, it must be a case of cannibalism." The bartender showed a frightened expression and shook his head pityingly, "That is the bloodiest and most vicious tragedy I have ever seen. I really can't believe that this kind of thing only happens on TV. It will happen to me, and I prefer to see such strange things on the Internet. Have you found out anything, sirs."

"You heard our conversation just now, right?" Emiya Kiritsugu tapped two fingers of one hand on the bar counter regularly, his expression at this moment made it difficult to see whether he was serious or not. Just a random question.

The bartender was taken aback and was a little at a loss. Looking at the two police officers who came from afar, he was a little unsure which answer to give.

"I've heard a little bit," he finally decided, "about whether men should wear earrings, and I'd say that it's a shame that such a beautiful thing as earrings can only be worn by one gender. It's gone, isn't it?"

He blinked admiringly.

Emiya Kiritsugu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you hear anything else? You were wandering around in front of me just now."

"Because the two chiefs are rare handsome guys, it's a waste of money to let a stunner like you do nothing... I mean, on the premise of being single." The bartender emphasized at the end, that kind of idea It was canceled long ago.

After speaking, he twitched, looked left and right, and observed the expressions of the two police officers.It doesn't seem very dangerous.

"Sir, there is one thing..." The bartender approached Emiya Kiritsugu, pretending to wipe a glass that was already extremely clear with both hands, "About the cave you mentioned... Is there really any unknown dangerous creature? I am not Deliberately trying to find out some secrets, but, you see, a certain cave near there is not so unknown... I guess we are talking about the same."

"I know, I asked some other people." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "It is said that there are beds and simple daily necessities in that cave, but there is no owner. Children often run there in the middle of the night to play adventure games, and couples are free. When it’s time, I’ll go somewhere to have some fun.” That’s why he searched for it, entered it, and got injured without any precautions.

"Oh." The bartender's expression was a little uncomfortable, "It's really that." It's a little unbelievable. "Maybe no one has ever been in danger before. It's just a very ordinary and cozy little functional cave that's a little bit cold and scary at night, but more charming. I went there at night, and he almost peed his pants in fright."

Another bartender who had just passed him was dazed for a moment, then gave him an angry glare before leaving to get back to work.

"It's not that I don't believe the officer's words, it's just..." Moyu bartender continued, "That cave has been discovered for at least a year."

"Do you know anything special about the person who died?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked another topic, "Who did you have trouble with, or who did you have bad luck with before you died?"

"The testimonial gathering part, it's great." The bartender pulled up his belt and rolled up his sleeves excitedly, "I like this part the most. No matter how many times I watch TV, I haven't experienced it personally. Is it Seth? Let I'll think about it, wait a minute."

"I have a deep understanding of the level of leisure in the local area." Kotomine Kirei said.

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded in understanding.

"You will fall in love with this place. There are very, very, very few foreigners here." The bartender said seriously, "Everyone will feel extra safe because of your presence. You must be senior FBI agents. Right? Can you show me your papers? Maybe a bit abrupt but I really just want to see what a real FBI paper looks like, just to have a look."

Kotomine Kirei aimed at the person next to him, who took out an ID from his pocket and waved it in front of the bartender.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh my god."

"Please get down to business." Mr. Detective said in a low voice.

"Oh, yes, I'm so sorry." The bartender also lowered his voice, and moved closer, "Seth is a good guy, and most people here are good people. Seth is the manager of the toy store on the East Street in the center of the town, and he would think of opening How annoying can people in a toy store be? Everyone likes him very much. If you have to find a reason to hate him... then only Seth's wife is qualified. Seth is a bit picky eater. Yes, he is very childish. The taste is still very strong after one handful, if not for this, his health would not be getting worse."

"Did you know that Mrs. Seth used to drag Seth to the police station because of her anger, and asked the police to sentence Seth for chronic suicide in an absolutely fair and strict manner, and she even ran to the town judge to make a fuss in front of the town judge because she thought the police were not professional enough?" After a while." The bartender continued, "It's scary for a woman to be unreasonable, but it may be a bit too much to judge that Mrs. Seth will kill her husband, after all, they have lived together for 20 years."

The young bartender scratched the tip of his nose earnestly, "The police in this town can't even handle Mrs. Seth. It's so useless, isn't it? Sometimes I wonder if they have the consciousness of being a policeman, and they are not as good as the normal ones on TV. The police are nothing like that, they can't even drive to [-] an hour. The police don't know how to chase a fugitive in a fast car, they are really unprofessional."

Emiya Kiritsugu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Apart from Mrs. Seth, there is nothing else, right? Has Seth done or planned to do something different recently?"

"Let me think about it..." The bartender pondered for a while, "No." He shook his head, "Seth is just a toy store owner, and occasionally he would quarrel with customers over which superhero is more powerful, but it doesn't hurt. Really Sorry sir, I can't provide more effective information."

"But it's still helpful, thank you." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "We have to go, please don't tell anyone about our conversation, and please don't go to places like the wilderness recently."

"Goodbye, sir. Welcome again, sir." The bartender waved enthusiastically, "Please stop by and tell the man at the door who is staring here with a stinky face that there is an important reason why I am not working, thank you, sir .”

"I've never seen someone so capable of fishing." Kotomine Kirei said to the manager who looked like a manager at the door.

They leave the bar.

"How is it?" Kotomine Kirei asked.

Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head, "This is a small town that can be said to be completely isolated from the world. No one outside knows about this place. It is like an idealized dream town, where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and is harmonious and friendly to each other. Just like you Like the bartender I met just now, most people here seem to enjoy life a little too much, as if nothing is worth being depressed."

Even with such a heinous case of cannibalism, under the "truth" of the beast attack that the police tried to claim, people gradually accepted this statement, except for the bartender who obviously watched too many detective films.

"Has no large beast ever been found here before?"

"No, judging from what I encountered in the cave, the thing that attacked was a relatively large humanoid creature." Emiya Kiritsugu analyzed calmly, "You can go there and have a look and learn from it." See who it is More like a monster.

"Yes." Kotomine Kirei said, compared to Emiya Kiritsugu who is better at hiding in the dark, he prefers to face the enemy face to face, "What's the matter with your certificate?" He didn't know that the magician killer also worked part-time agent.

"fake."

They returned to the hotel where Emiya Kiritsugu stayed temporarily.Kotomine Kirei has reserved a temporary room in another place, but this doesn't seem to have much to do with the current situation.

After Kotomine Kirei took a shower, he saw Emiya Kiritsugu looking at something with a laptop on.He leans over.

"What is this?" he asked.

"The network of the police station here seems to have no sense of defense." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "I'll go in and take a look."

Sounds like he's pretty good at it.Kotomine Kirei stood behind Emiya Kiritsugu and studied for a while.

After a while, he said, "It's such a peaceful and boring place."

In the pitifully few crime records, except for the cannibal incident they are investigating, most of the others are "my garden scissors are missing", "husband is disobedient", "the child is naughty again" and so on, which make the quality appear. Some poor case data.

The more serene and peaceful it looks, the more unbelievable it is.This is like an ideal land that only appears in stories.

"Let's go and have a look in the cave tomorrow." Emiya Kiritsugu closed the notebook, stood up, and turned to Kotomine Kirei.He paused, "Are you going to the cave tomorrow? I'll check some other things." He asked, "Seth, and some things in the town."

"it is good."

Probably because there is no reason to be tit-for-tat in terms of relationship at present, partner.Even if you want to make a trip, now is not the time.

It seemed like he was the only one in the whole world.

Emiya Kiritsugu opened his eyes in an unfamiliar environment, after a moment of bewilderment, his vigilance was tense from head to toe.He looked around quickly and listened carefully.Not even a little wind.

The pure white ground and buildings, with what should be bright colors, look extraordinarily cold and dead.The sky is black, like a huge black cloth, covering the whole world lifelessly.A round of red moon hangs in the distant sky, casting dirty light towards the earth.

wide world.Weird and dull world.

Emiya Kiritsugu turned around sharply, his gaze was like an eagle, and he looked directly at a standing figure on a black tower.The distance was too far, so he couldn't see the appearance of that person clearly.Looks familiar, he thought.

That person jumped from a high tower—this is not a normal jumping ability, nor is it a height that normal people can master.Of course, it doesn't seem surprising that the place has tried hard to create an unnatural atmosphere from the start.

Emiya Kiritsugu drew out his gun neatly, and at the moment the man fell in front of him, aimed at the man's forehead.He saw the other person's face clearly.

It was him in white, and the slyness in the red eyes seemed to have been seen somewhere before.

Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly opened his eyes, and what he could see was the hotel room where he was staying. The touch on his body was the soft bedding, and his arms were as big as those of the people around him.

He ran through his hair, pushed his arms away from his chest, and sat up.Looking at the time, I only slept for two hours.

It was a strange dream just now, inexplicable and puzzling.Probably because he talked too much about puberty with the guy next to him before going to bed. What does it matter if the guy didn't feel happy after killing Tony? !

"What's wrong?" Kotomine Kirei, who woke up the first time there was movement around him, asked.

"It's nothing." Emiya Kiritsugu lay back down again, "Sleep."

the next day.

That cave was not difficult to find, pushing away the plants blocking the entrance, Kotomine Kirei felt a cold aura blowing towards his face.He walked in, and as the sunlight diminished, he turned on the flashlight.The interior of the cave is a smooth stone wall with many playful pictures painted with chalk.

It does look like what the bartender said, the cave is well known and public.

Kotomine Kirei gradually went deeper, listening to all directions, looking all directions, even the slightest sound could not be escaped.He heard something, stopped, put the flashlight on a protrusion on the stone wall, and waited quietly.

The breath hidden in the darkness suddenly accelerated, including a murderous sharp momentum, rushing from the opposite side.Kotomine Kirei took two steps back, and a tall humanoid creature appeared within the light range of the flashlight.This thing is at least two meters tall, with unusually long arms, long and sharp nails, a thin body, and legs that are a bit shorter than the arms.It has a ferocious expression, no hair on its head, and its pupils are wide open, almost covering the entire eye socket.

weird and ugly
