Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

"A mere high-ranking Death Apostle dares to covet these eyes? You're not worthy."

After saying that, Shen Qiu suddenly grabbed Yue Yin in his hand and rushed in front of the train manager with lightning speed, then cut off one of her arms.

The entire process takes no more than one second.

“Cutting off your arm as punishment is nothing, anyway, at your level, it will be fully recovered in a day at most.”

Just as the Clock Tower has a strict hierarchy for magicians, from lowest to highest: the youngest, the eldest, the first, the priest, the priest, the color, and the highest, the crown, the Dead Apostles are the same.

These are the dead, ghouls, the undead, night-dwellers, night demons, lower-ranking dead apostles, upper-ranking dead apostles, successors, and finally, the [ancestor].

"I..."

The train manager, who had lost an arm, was about to speak when Shen Qiu interrupted him abruptly.

"Don't deny it. Did I give you permission to speak? What's done is done. Before these true all-seeing eyes, nothing can hide."

Even the true progenitors still retain the ability to feel pain, because it is proof that they are alive.

Losing an arm directly would likely cause an ordinary person to go into shock due to unbearable pain, but the Death Apostle could barely endure the pain.

"terribly sorry..."

After much deliberation, the train manager uttered this conciliatory remark.

"Originally, I was living in the secular world and didn't want to be too conspicuous, but the power of these eyes is not something you can covet. If you want to complain, then go complain to your superiors."

"However, besides Princess Arcueid the White and Princess Altrouge the Black, I must tell you—"

"No matter who comes, they will only be throwing their lives away, just like Fuhailin Anashu."

“The true ancestors must have cherished their lives. Most of the existing ancestors, except for a very small number, are second or third generation.”

"Because most of the first generation were either sealed away or strangled by the Holy Church and the Magicians' Association."

After uttering this final, understated remark, Shen Qiu returned to his seat and withdrew his overwhelming killing intent.

"This is our fault, and we are willing to bear all the consequences... including your anger, but we beg you not to vent your anger on the Demon Eye Collection Train, otherwise, we may suffer even worse consequences."

The train manager has already adopted an extremely humble attitude.

"That's good. Now everything is fine, Ms. Adashino Ryori. Let's continue our deduction."

As he spoke, Shen Qiu gave Hinako a bright smile.

In an instant, Shen Qiu seemed to transform back into that gentle and elegant young man.

This change caused a sense of fear to spread through everyone's hearts, including El-Melloi II.

This was completely different from what he commonly knew about Matou Aki during the Fourth Holy Grail War seven years prior.

No, it was a completely different person.

Arrogant, absolutely arrogant.

They didn't even take the founder of the Dead Apostles seriously.

However, his power gives him the right to be arrogant. Take the girl named Anna beside him, for example; she is enough to wipe out half of the True Ancestors of the Dead Apostles.

In his words, it really is true, "Unless Princess Arcueid the White or Princess Altrud the Black comes in person, everyone else who comes is just going to their death."

"Now, let's get back to the main topic of reasoning."

A classic Americano appeared in front of Shen Qiu and was handed to the table opposite him, where Hideyuki Kasano sat.

“Father Caleb, what I want to say is that although Ms. Adano Ryori’s reasoning is full of loopholes, even with so many loopholes, I’m afraid half of it is correct.”

"What? You also believe I'm the murderer?!"

Caleb Frampton stared incredulously at the boy beside him who truly possessed the ability to see far. The true ability to see far was beyond the Rainbow level, a magical eye that had only appeared in legends.

If Shen Qiu were to say those words, it would essentially be a death sentence for him.

“No, my clairvoyance is for seeing the future, not the past. I can’t see what happened in the past. But, Father Caleb, you yourself said that your magic eye often goes out of control, and now it has seriously affected your mind.”

"Sometimes it's even impossible to control."

"So, when did this period begin? Do you remember 597?"

Ryori Adano took a sip of the classic Americano the boy handed her and listened silently to the boy who had taken over her deductions.

"Time... I'm sorry, I really don't remember very clearly. As you said, the Mystic Eye has seriously affected my mind. In addition, with the existence of past vision, I am often in a state of confusion about the timeline."

"It was seven years ago, around the time the London murders started."

"what!"

Father Caleb looked shocked after hearing Shen Qiu's words.

"Why, why is it that a simple murder case involving a magician, which even the Magicians' Association and the Holy Church couldn't solve together, ended up being hastily closed, with all the records sealed in top secret?"

"The answer is simple: because the perpetrator possesses the illusory eye that can sever reality, and since he is also one of the investigators, it is absolutely impossible to find the real culprit no matter how hard you search."

"This is the truth behind the murder of the victim of the London Eye seven years ago."

After saying everything in one breath, Shen Qiu picked up a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

"Wait! What you're saying is no different from what Hideyuki Adashino said. There's absolutely no chain of evidence, no witnesses, no proof. Isn't this just wishful thinking, as you yourself said?"

Upon hearing Shen Qiu's words, El-Melloi II immediately stood up to refute them.

"That's why I said that Hirori Adashino's reasoning was only half right."

"Because the murderer is both Caleb and not Caleb."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this answer, El-Melloi II froze on the spot.

What kind of answer is this?

Is he both the murderer and not the murderer?

"Unable to control his magic eye and suffering a mental breakdown, Father Caleb was easily controlled by magicians, whether through illusion magic or curse magic. In short, someone manipulated him to commit all these crimes."

"And the person who manipulated him is probably the thief who stole the holy relic that you, El-Melloi II, have been searching for. It was also the same person who manipulated Caleb to kill Miss Theresa."

"So, do you understand what I'm saying now?"

Chapter 437: The Whole Truth - O Seeker of the Holy Grail (Please Subscribe)

It was noon, the third day since Shen Qiu and Anna boarded the Magic Eye Collection Train.

"Master... is this really alright? Restraining Father Caleb's hands and feet completely, isn't that a bit too much..."

In a private room, Grey looked at the old priest, who was shackled from head to toe, and said weakly that although she did not know his exact age, judging from his appearance, Father Caleb was at least over seventy years old.

Is it a bit too much to treat a person in their seventies like this?

Grey thought to herself.

"No, it's not an exaggeration at all. Matou Aki's reasoning and Adashino's reasoning are perfectly matched, even though there is no concrete evidence... However, talking about evidence in the mystical world is a ridiculous thing."

After sighing, El-Melloi II closed the door, and even the door was sealed with a ritualistic spell by Adashino Ryori herself.

"Then, I suppose you still have some questions to ask that young man."

Seeing Lord El-Melloi II close the door, Hishiri Adashino waved goodbye.

"Dong dong dong."

"excuse me."

Shen Qiu looked at El-Melloi II as he pushed open the door without any surprise, and gently scooped a spoonful of milkshake into Anna's mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

The only advantage of the Magic Eye Collection Train is that it provides unlimited food and drinks. You can simply imagine what you want to eat and it will appear out of thin air on the table.

Of course, this is on the premise that the illusionary items are in the storage depot of the Magic Eye Collection Train.

“I have some things I want to talk to you about, including the London murders, Father Caleb, the thief who stole the relics, the Holy Grail War, and... some other things.”

El-Melloi II sat opposite Shen Qiu, his expression remaining completely unchanged as he watched the loving couple.

And Grey... ran off to the corner again.

"It's about the Amnisfia family, there's nothing strange about it."

After feeding Anna the last milkshake, Shen Qiu turned his face and carefully examined the boy who was only a year or two younger than him back then.

Time has passed, and now the other party is a mature Lord. From clothing to appearance to temperament, he is a completely different person from back then.

"You know about this too? I only found out by asking Reines and Luvia to investigate together. No, no, no, how could I forget? You are the head of the Matou family, so it's normal for you to have your own intelligence network."

El-Melloi II shook his head, then took out a cigar, but was interrupted by Shen Qiu just as he was about to light it.

"Don't smoke in my room, Anna hates the smell of smoke."

Lord paused for a moment upon hearing this, but still obediently put away his cigar.

"First, there's Father Caleb. He's the murderer; that's an undeniable fact. It's a dead case, an ironclad case, one that can't be overturned. After the Demon Eye Collection Train ends, he'll probably be extradited back to the Church of Christ and imprisoned."

"I'll probably spend the rest of my life in prison."
