Can Shinji be trusted
The answer to this question was given two days later.
When he walked out of a mountain villa with a dying man in his hand, Ji Lian and Zhang Puzhuo dispelled all their doubts.
This is Shinji's first mission target, and one of the most difficult targets to deal with. Ji Lian had read the information beforehand, and the target is an expert in strengthening magic, who can strengthen his body to be harder than steel, which is similar to the traditional Chinese martial arts "Golden Bell Cover" and "Iron Cloth Shirt".
Even if Ji Lian, who has mastered the "Tongbi Fist" to perfection, takes action himself, it will still take a long time, and the target may escape if he is not careful - magicians are different from martial artists who rely on their bodies. The body is only a part of their strength. In addition to physical abilities, magicians also have many peculiar methods, which may not be very powerful, but can bring a lot of trouble.
The two were ready to provide support immediately if any accidents occurred. Unexpectedly, only five minutes later, the young man came out carrying the target's body.
The body that was harder than steel had now become a cripple. The bones of his spine, two arms, and two legs were all broken. His tough muscles looked sickly and old, and there was no trace of his original appearance at all.
The magician who had caused great damage to the Clock Tower raised his head with difficulty, his face ashen, and managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat.
"Who are you, anyway?"
"Clock Tower Eastern Special Envoy, Shen Zhong, sends his greetings to you on behalf of Lord Barthemelo and the Law and Politics Department. Judgment may be late, but it will never be absent. I hope you have a good time in hell, rebel!"
This was the mission Loreleya assigned to Shinji, and it was also the reason why he did not go with the exchange group but acted alone.
Unlike other members of the exchange group, Shinji has only one mission, which is also what he is best at - killing.
The so-called cooperation and exchange has never been limited to the cultural and technical levels, but also to the combat level, which can be a battle or a joint fight to eliminate the enemy. The first task that Loreleiah gave to Shinji was to kill the defectors of the clock tower, who were hiding in China.
Because these defectors paid a price when they came to China in exchange for the acquiescence or even protection of the government and local forces, so as long as these people do not cause trouble, China will not take action against them - just not directly, if something unexpected happens, it is hard to say. Playing word games and finding loopholes in the rules are the strengths of the Chinese nation. Anyway, the value of these defectors has been squeezed out, and their last value is to give them to the clock tower as a gift to express friendship.
The Clock Tower also sent the same gift to the Chinese side. And they did it more directly, without even making an excuse, and directly sent the assassination team directly under the Law and Politics Department to take the head. Although the style is slightly different, one thing is certain - no matter which country, the heart of playing politics is dirty.
"The Chinese are not trustworthy. I curse you—"
The magician, who had figured it out, emitted ominous magical fluctuations, but these fluctuations did not cause any harm to Shinji. The resentment in the magic was purified before it even got close, and was restored to the purest life force.
"Don't waste your energy. It's useless. Since I dared to come, I have made all the necessary preparations."
Even the curse of the moon goddess Artemis and the "wild boar punished by God" can't do anything to me, let alone you
After leaving the parallel world and returning to the real world, although Shinji lost his perfect body and could not reach the peak state in the final battle with Shirou, it does not mean that Shinji has not grown.
On the contrary, compared to before the Holy Grail War, Shinji's strength has increased several times. The magic, origin, and functions of the new Noble Phantasms, the teachings of the great teacher Chiron, and the experience gained from fighting with first-class and even top-level servants have enabled him to have the combat power comparable to that of super first-class and even top-level servants even though his physical strength is not enough. In the real world, apart from the few geniuses like Lorelaia who cannot be calculated by common sense, only those old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years can make him feel pressured.
Glancing coldly at the dying magician, Shinji's hands emitted red flames, which soon burned the magician to ashes - that was the extraction of the concept of "Immortal Blade", which came from the solar flame of the sun god Surya.
"Master, Master, am I dazzled?" Zhang Puzhuo, who was watching from the side, opened his mouth wide.
"No, although I really hope you are dazzled. I didn't understand why only one person came before, but now I understand." Ji Lian shook his head and sighed, "Monster, a real monster."
"Confirmed target eliminated, next one is—?"
Shinji waved his hand to sweep away the ashes and turned his head to look at the two of them.
Zhang Puzhuo responded blankly: "Oh, oh, the next one is in Qingxu, and there will be a car to pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Then let's find a hotel to rest for the night?"
"well... "
...
The hotel they stayed in was ordinary, neither good nor bad, but Shinji didn't care. This was a joint mission, not a high-level reception, and if they really wanted to enjoy it, they could wait until the mission was over before enjoying it slowly.
He closed the door, stole a rune stone beside the door, and threw one in each of the other corners of the room. With a barely detectable fluctuation of magic power, an invisible barrier isolated the room from the outside.
Then, there was a flash of lightning, and tiny arcs of electricity leaped out from Shinji's fingertips and spread along the barrier. When the last arc disappeared, Shinji let out a sigh of relief.
"At this point, any monitoring or surveillance equipment should be broken. Although we just randomly chose a hotel and didn't feel like we were being watched, it's still better to be on guard. Some secrets should not be exposed if they can be kept secret."
Shinji unfastened the straps on his chest and put the backpack on the ground. The backpack was not filled with luggage, but a coffin.
That's right, a coffin.
The black surface, four long sides, two short sides, and a symmetrical yet irregular hexagon are exactly the same style as the coffins popular in medieval Europe—except that they are much smaller than normal coffins, probably only one-sixth the size of an ordinary coffin, otherwise they would not fit into a backpack.
He placed his hand on the surface of the coffin lid and injected magic power into it. A thin white line appeared in the center of the originally smooth coffin lid without any markings.
With a "bang", the coffin lid opened along the thin line. After scanning the room with his mental power again and confirming that there was no danger, Shinji walked into the coffin - stood up straight, walked in, and stepped on the bottom of the coffin.
The next second, Shinji's body sank rapidly. The moment his hair was at the same level as the coffin lid, the coffin closed automatically, and there was no one left in the dark room.
PS: The lecturer in the Clock Tower is not only a status, but also represents strength. Look at the unlucky guys who were tricked by Amakusa in FA, one of them was a first-level lecturer. Yes, that's the Reversal Prosecutor who went to the wrong set.
