Chapter 69 Yay! I've captured the Assassin!

It's no wonder they're known for their secrecy; even the rewards are shrouded in mystery.

Suppressing her complaints about the rewards from the Destiny Compendium, Shuoyue looked up at the group of people in front of her who urgently needed to be dealt with.

Those who severed their contract with Kirei Kotomine are still alive and well here, but due to the loss of their magical energy supply, they are all extremely weak. They hang their heads down, as if they are completely asleep.

Faced with this silent resistance, Shuoyue responded with a strange smile and clapped her hands.

"Meiyu."

"Ah."

Miyu turned and went out the door, but soon returned, drawn by the enticing aroma.

In her small hands lay an incredibly lavish breakfast: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside fresh milk pancakes, cooked to perfection; glistening eel sushi; and crystal-clear grapefruit black tea that seemed to have no impurities whatsoever…

They look absolutely delicious, making you eagerly anticipate the taste.

As mentioned before, the so-called "delusions and hallucinations" are, in essence, the manifestation of schizophrenia. As individuals differentiated from the Hundred-Faced Hassan, they have the potential to unconsciously express themselves.

So naturally, there are those among them who can't resist delicious food.

With a smile that resembled that of a certain little red devil, Shuoyue placed a steaming breakfast in front of Baimao. The enticing aroma wafted into their noses, and she even went so far as to cast a magical barrier that made their senses even more sensitive.

The aroma immediately filled the enclosed basement. The Hundred-Faced Hassans, whose five senses, especially their stomachs, were heightened several times over, gritted their teeth and used all their strength to resist the temptation of the delicious food.

Calm down, me!

We are assassins who have inherited the name "Hassan al-Sabah," shadows for individuals and groups, the great old man of the mountains!

How can we give in just because of some mere food!

"Still not giving up?"

Shuoyue snapped her fingers, projecting a small fan that blew the fragrance over.

One of the hundred-faced Hassans was unable to resist and wanted to submit, but he was suppressed by the other clones to prevent him from disgracing Hassan Sabah.

But when the young man grinned mischievously and pressed the small fan down to the second setting, the precarious defense finally collapsed.

I'm so cold... I can't calm down!

"Kill me or torture me, do as you please!" Hassan, a slightly overweight man who looked like a wealthy merchant, roared to the sky, his voice filled with grief and indignation. "At least let me have a bite to eat!"

Hassan, the purple-haired individual whose true personality might not be considered the dominant one, sighed, knowing full well that all was lost.

Even if she inherited most of Hassan's personality traits, it would be impossible for her to control all aspects of his personality.

not to mention……

The death knell still echoed in her mind; no one, not even these old men in the mountains, understood the meaning of that sound better than they did.

"First Generation Sir..."

The song "Get Out of Here" was playing from the stereo. More than twenty Hassans, clad in black robes and whose features were obscured, sat in rows on small stools, giving the impression of a pyramid scheme operation. -Manwuwuman-

"Ahem, everyone look at me, I have something to announce!"

The young pyramid scheme leader tapped the table, raised his hand, and said with great confidence:

"Let me get straight to the point: abandon your former Master! Think about how Kirei Kotomine, or rather, how he treated you!"

"They tricked you into believing you were killed by Gilgamesh, let your allies die without offering any help, and then used you as human shields so they could escape!"

"Make a pact with me and become my follower. From now on, you'll have free room and board, all utilities are covered, and you'll even enjoy the five social insurances and one housing fund! How about that? Such great benefits are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Suck~"

Unfortunately, this passionate atmosphere was broken by the sound of someone devouring rice. The hundred-faced Hassans collectively turned their heads, looking at the first one to give in with disdain, their eyes clearly conveying one meaning:

That's embarrassing, I'll leave the group.

Knowing she couldn't rely on her chaotic, multi-faceted abilities, the purple-haired woman, Bai Mao, cleared her throat and took over the responsibility of communicating with Shuo Yue:

“We can agree to the contract, but first, you must answer a few questions for us. First, how did my connection with my Master… no, my former Master, Kirei Kotomine, break off?”

Upon hearing this, the young man revealed a refreshing smile:

"You're trying to extract our secrets before you've even become my subordinate? Fine, thank you for your trouble, Miyu."

"Hmm." Miyu, who had already transformed, responded and took a card from the card pouch strapped to her thigh, placing it on her wand.

"sapphire."

"Ok."

As the limited-time light unfolded, the card imprinted with the magician's pattern merged with the sapphire wand, transforming into a magnificent dagger.

Unlike the straightforwardness of a tactical dagger, this dagger's blade twists and turns like lightning, shimmering with iridescent colors, and exudes an aura of poison and betrayal.

"All laws must be broken. If that's the case, you, who have been given knowledge by the Holy Grail, should understand."

Taking the magic-resistant treasure, Sakugetsu aimed a long-range thrust at the heart of the purple-haired Hyakume, demonstrating the method used to break her contract within Unlimited Blade Works.

One of the five class cards looted from Ainsworth Castle, class: Miyu, who possesses the Sapphire Staff, can perform limited summons or even dream summons of cards to obtain the power of other Servants—this is one of the trump cards possessed by the Sakura group.

As a conceptual Noble Phantasm that brings the life of the witch Medea to life, the All-Encompassing Breaking Technique, capable of breaking all kinds of magic, would make breaking the contract between Kirei Kotomine and the witch Kirei Kotomine a piece of cake.

It's worth noting that Medea in the UBW route of the Fifth World War even used this weapon to make several contracts with the enemy, almost ending the war and obtaining the Holy Grail.

In the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Crescent Moon Group, possessing this Noble Phantasm, naturally had an advantage that was difficult for ordinary people to predict.

“Unlike Tokiomi Tohsaka’s clumsy performance, the magical bands I’ve placed on you connect to the imaginary space. Even the Church’s ‘spiritual energy disc’ cannot detect your existence. Hundred-faced Hassan, you have completely become a shadow in this war, but I will be the one to control this shadow.”

With the advantage of foresight, the combination of the new moon and the elusive nature of the other makes them an absolute nightmare for any Master and Servant.

“No.” Suddenly, the purple-haired Bai Mao shook his head, his tone somewhat low, “You may simply call us Bai Mao; we are no longer worthy of the name ‘Hassan-i-Sabah’.”

"Why?" Shuoyue asked, puzzled.

"This is also the second question I wish to ask you." The purple-haired woman, who had removed her skull mask, bowed her head respectfully, as if she were looking through the new moon at the faith in the hearts of the Hassans throughout the ages.

"Are you—connected to the First Lord?"

The first? The original Hassan al-Sabah? The Old Man of the Mountain?

Damn it, King Hassan!

Recalling that unparalleled feat, Shuoyue suddenly shuddered: "It wasn't me, I didn't do it! Don't talk nonsense! I don't know him!"

"Is that so?" Bai Mao nodded noncommittally, then suddenly said, "Please take a count of our numbers."

Number of people? Shuoyue subconsciously scanned the faces of the Hassans one by one.

One, two, three... twenty-four... Hmm?!

Shuoyue belatedly widened her eyes in surprise.

Why is one person missing?

Chapter 70 That Platinum Light

[Record condition 2 has been completed, reward received: "初@幽#¥%"!]

Sitting on a small stool, Shuoyue stared at the pale blue panel in front of her, lost in thought.

Since acquiring the "Destiny Compendium," this cheat code has never produced such gibberish before. Even Gilgamesh, one of the top-tier Servants and one of the "Golden Three Targets," was unaware that he was recorded in the compendium and became the source of strength for the new moon.

To put it another way, the only thing capable of interfering with the Destiny Compendium is something stronger than Gilgamesh...

For example, a certain crown-ranking king Hassan, who writes and reads.

Damn, thinking about it that way, the possibility is too high, isn't it? The garbled text even gave a hint!

For example, the first generation, the Valley, etc... all of them are keywords related to King Hassan!

Thinking back to Ragnaros II, who had to live with a stiff neck every day; Tiamat, who was cut short by a single sword strike; and poor Rahm, who was devoured as food...

"Hiss..." Shuoyue rubbed his arms frantically, looking at Hassan, no, the Bai Mao, who were kneeling neatly in front of him, swearing allegiance.

If it were this first generation, he could indeed take the life of Hundred Faces without them noticing. As for why he killed him, and why he only killed one, perhaps this was punishment for Hundred Faces Hassan.

Having failed in assassination missions one after another, and even being captured in the end, Bai Zhao is no longer worthy of being the nineteenth leader.

As Hassan was the one who killed Hassan, it was only natural that the First Emperor would take action.

However, thanks to this incident, Hyakume has completely let down her guard against Sakumoku, who possesses the aura of the first generation, and willingly offered up a contract to become his second servant. Under Sakumoku's guidance, they have resumed their intelligence work.

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Shuoyue stood up and handed a small doll to the purple-haired Baimao who was in the lead.

"This is a familiar I've processed using displacement magic. It will guide you to your location. Take it with you. I need you to send three people out of Fuyuki City to find some people. Remember, don't let them get discovered."

"Yes, Master." The purple-haired, hundred-faced woman bowed her head respectfully. Three figures appeared behind her, took the familiar, and left, startling Shuoyue who hurriedly called out to them.

"Wait, where are you going?"

The three men looked at each other, one of them asking in confusion, "Didn't you say you were going to leave Fuyuki City?"

"I'm completely defeated by you guys." Shuoyue sighed and handed over the plane ticket. "Flight in three hours, F Airport. Get ready before you go."

"Yes." Under the disdainful gaze of the purple-haired, hunchbacked man, the three simpletons took the plane tickets and ran off in a flash.

After the other clones had all left, the purple-haired Bai Mao turned to look at Shuo Yue, who was secretly giving orders.

"Is there anything I need you to do by leaving me alone, Master?"

"I need your cooperation in an experiment." Shuoyue gestured for her to come closer. "If I remember correctly, although you have the ability to separate your soul, you also suffer from the conflict between your different personalities, right?"

That's exactly right. The purple-haired beauty nodded, a shadowy glint in her eyes.

As one of the Elders of the Mountains throughout history, she is known as the "Hundred Faces" because of her incredible mental state, which makes it impossible for anyone to predict her actions. However, she is actually a mentally ill person with multiple personality disorder, and she has retained this trait even after becoming a Servant.

With nearly a hundred people having a meeting in one's head, only Bai Mao himself knows how exhausting it is.
