He had watched all the big shows he was supposed to watch, and had also successfully tested the magic costumes "God's Spear Bow and Sword" and "Rune Magic Bullets" that he had tailored for himself. After a night of hard work, Shinji wanted to go home and have a good sleep.
Unfortunately, things don’t always go as we wish. No, it’s not that things don’t go as we wish, it’s that we just find things to do for ourselves.
Although Shinji's heart gradually became cold and hard after entering the world of magicians, he did not lose the values and human feelings he had established over the past 20 years. He could not tolerate perverted (harmonious) murderers like Ryunosuke Uzumaki who pursued the "art of death", and he could not tolerate the evil heresy of Caster, whose real name was Gilles de Rais, who sacrificed humans for evil and lost things!
Knowing that the Caster team would destroy themselves in a few days, he still sent Scathach to hunt down the two bastards non-stop.
Perhaps Scathach, hindered by her job and her Master, might not be able to kill the Caster group, who are good at summoning and have many ways to escape. But as long as Scathach keeps chasing them, these two bastards will be busy escaping and have no time to kill. It is good to reduce the number of victims.
This idea became more firm than ever after he saw the situation in Caster's workshop through Scathach's empathy.
In the darkness as thick as blood, only a candle flame was flickering.
The long table with the candlesticks was covered in blood, and the source of the blood was the three rows of bright red meat on the long table.
This is the intestine, the human intestine.
The bright red, still-moving intestines were full of pins.
On the cross on the long table, a young girl who had just died was tied. Her lower abdomen was cut open horizontally, and her internal organs were pulled out and spread all over the floor.
There were still traces of black magic on the girl's body.
"Magic for healing and regeneration, magic to numb the sense of pain, to prevent her from dying so quickly. When I broke into the workshop, I vaguely heard Caster's Master say that he wanted to make a 'human instrument';."
Scathach's words made Shinji's anger reach its peak, and the anger and nausea made his stomach churn.
There are some things that you will never understand unless you experience them personally, just like if you have never been to Iraq, you will never know how tragic it is there. Things that only remain on paper will never be as vivid as personal experience.
Shinji knew that Ryunosuke and Caster were both assholes, but he didn't take it too seriously, and it was for the same reason. Therefore, after the opening battle of the Holy Grail War, he just notified the church, hoping that Kotomine Risei and Tōsaka Tokiomi would take action, and then he didn't care anymore.
But this time, on the way to the Hyatt Hotel, he first heard the news that Ryunosuke committed a crime in a neighboring town, and then saw Ryunosuke's work with his own eyes, and his state of mind changed fundamentally.
"Damn it, Ryunosuke Uzumaki, Gilles de Rais, you all deserve to die!!! Master, are there any survivors?"
"There are still eleven children in the dungeon. I asked around and they are the children that Caster captured from the neighboring town. There were originally fourteen of them, but Caster and his Master have tortured three of them to death."
Perhaps Shinji's emotions affected Scathach, who had already graduated from the secular world, and there was a hint of coldness in her voice.
"Three more lives, and all of them are children with bright futures."
Shinji suppressed his inner anger and desire to vomit, and spoke in a hoarse roar, as if only this could vent his anger.
"Master, you continue to hunt down those two bastards. No matter how much magic power it consumes, I will find a way to supply it. I only have one request, don't give them the opportunity to continue killing people!"
"I understand." Feeling Shinji's determination, Scathach nodded lightly, "Here—"
"—I will contact the church here and ask them to deal with the aftermath. If they can't handle it well, we will deal with them."
As humans, the father and son Kotomine Risho and Kotomine Kirei are very powerful, but compared with Heroic Spirits, especially a powerful Heroic Spirit like Scathach, they are still vulnerable. It would be easy for Scathach to kill them if she gets serious.
Although attacking a neutral supervisor was against the rules and would lead to the attack by all the Masters once discovered, Shinji was confident that he would not leave any evidence behind.
"Since you have shown such determination, I should also show a corresponding determination."
Scathach said this, cutting off her empathy with Shinji and using her magic spear to carve a rune on the floor of the workshop, meaning "tracking".
... ...
Kotomine Risei was once again woken up by the ringing of the phone late at night.
The voice coming from the receiver was unfamiliar, but the way of speaking was familiar to him—Assassin's Master, a mysterious magician of unknown origin.
After the magician confirmed Risei's identity, he began to question him -
"Why did you leave Caster and his murderous mind alone? Isn't it the duty of an Overseer to monitor the behavior of Masters and Servants and ensure that their behavior does not have a bad impact on society? How do you do your job as an Overseer?"
Surprisingly, Father Risei was not angry at the blunt accusation from the Master who sounded very young, but responded calmly.
"We are investigating this. As supervisors, we must be absolutely fair and just. We cannot use our supervisor authority at will without sufficient evidence. This is an insult to everyone."
After hearing Risei's answer, the anger on the other end of the phone seemed to lessen.
"You want evidence, I'll give you enough. My Servant discovered Caster's base, deep in the underground waterway upstream from the mouth of the Miyuan River. The workshop has been cleaned out. You can send someone to check it out. I'm sorry I can't describe the details, it's really a hellish scene. I hope you can make the right judgment after seeing that."
After saying this, the other party unilaterally cut off the communication.
Father Li Zheng, who was wearing a monastic robe, silently hung up the receiver and lowered his head in thought.
From the last contact, it can be seen that this magician has both the sense of justice of an ordinary person and the caution and skill of a magician. To be described as hell by such a person, it can be seen that what the Caster group did is indeed outrageous.
Thinking of this, Li Zheng's face darkened.
Since this month, the mysterious serial killer "Devil of Fuyuki City" has been reported continuously. He uses cruel methods rarely seen in recent years. There are four cases related to him in the city alone, and the last case is that he brutally killed his entire family in their sleep. He is a very cruel murderer. Although the police in Fuyuki City have set up a special task force and mobilized all the police forces in the surrounding areas to solve the case as soon as possible, there is still no progress. It is still at the stage where even the appearance of the suspect cannot be confirmed.
However, with the potential power of the church, it is not difficult to find out the truth about the Caster Group and the serial murders. The problem is how to deal with it after it is found out.
Servants attacking humans - there is nothing strange about this in itself. As spiritual servants that rely on magic power for food, they can not only obtain magic power from their masters, but also gain strength by absorbing human souls. Incompetent masters who cannot provide servants with enough magic power sometimes make up for the lack of magic power by providing sacrifices to their servants.
Even in this Holy Grail War, the situation of offering sacrifices was within Risei's expectations. This was understandable, as magi were outside the rules and could ignore ethics and right and wrong. Even if innocent people had to be sacrificed, as long as it was done secretly and covertly, it would be tacitly approved.
But such blatant killing that also causes such a big commotion cannot be allowed.
Magic originates from mystery, and the Holy Grail War must be conducted in secret. This is an iron rule that does not change for all participants. No one will welcome anyone who attracts attention in this place at this time.
Kotomine Risho originally wanted to follow past practice and give a warning to the Caster group, hoping that they would restrain themselves. However, she did not expect that before the warning was issued, the other party's actions became more and more reckless.
It seems that we really need to act quickly as Assassin's Master said.
Before that, he had to contact his ally Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was the secret manager of Fuyuki City, and Kotomine Kirei, the best agent for his son.
Thinking this, Kotomine Ri was putting on her monastic uniform. It seemed that she would have no time to rest tonight.
