My team members turned out to be heroic spirits

"Under the light and decoy tactics? It's really a good plan, Jiang Li."

After listening to this, Qing Ji gave her own evaluation.

Rather than letting Jiang Li go with them, it would be better to let the formation soldiers take them away.

However, before the formation soldiers arrived, they had to ensure that Jiang Li would not be taken away.

The method of darkening under the lamp is indeed an option.

"..."

Emiya Kiritsugu thought about the feasibility of this plan.

It certainly sounds like it could.

Take a dummy out as Jiang Li and let the dummy attract the attention of the hounds to protect the real Jiang Li.

Who would have thought that the real person would stay in a hotel so openly?

All he needed to do was to hide himself to avoid being discovered by Jiang Li who was staying in the hotel.

But there are risks.

"The formation warriors will arrive here in about 10 minutes."

Jiang Li said.

"You two only need to delay for about seven or eight minutes."

"Besides, if I am around you, I will inevitably distract your energy."

It would be of no use for him to stay with Emiya Kiritsugu and Kiyohime. Instead, it would distract the energy of the two heroic spirits.

When the time comes, someone must stay to protect him.

It's better to just let it go.

He stayed in the branch of Zhenwu soldiers in Japan.

Emiya Kiritsugu and Kiyohime can move freely.

Just keep the communication open between both parties.

Moreover, the bounty mission concerned Jiang Li very much——

This might be a good way to enter the Asgard in a fair way.

Emiya Kiritsugu hasn't found a good way to sneak into the shrine yet.

It's not okay to just wait.

Jiang Li was very worried about the store manager's situation.

So he thought maybe he could take a chance.

Chapter 29 Pachi’s Old Shop 4K words

"According to the surveillance records, the area where the bounty target last appeared is probably within this range."

A man wearing ordinary clothes listens to the voice of his companion through a tiny earphone.

"We have to take the target to the Japanese Shrine before others do."

He said so.

After the Shrine issued such a reward, it was quickly heard by all the hounds active in the Japanese underground world.

Then capable people quickly discovered traces of the target from Japanese surveillance records.

Although the past experience of the mission target cannot be found, it is probably covered up by some force.

But it doesn't matter, their mission is not to assassinate, but to bring the target to the shrine, and it must be intact.

An escort in a way.

If you bring someone to the shrine, you can just take the reward and fly away.

"According to the information I received, it seems that those who tried to divine the target were all counterattacked."

The man flew several small drones while chatting with his companions.

"I heard about this incident. Some people were even killed by the backlash. It is said that the death was miserable, as if being burned alive by fire."

Input the footage captured by the drone into the computer, and then transmit it to your fellow hackers over the Internet.

"Is that right?"

A hacker hiding in a residential house holds a cigarette.

His hands were tapping on the keyboard, processing the data transmitted back by the drone.

The target finally got into a taxi, and then the taxi disappeared into the surveillance blind spot and never appeared again.

Moreover, the entire surveillance process was unable to capture the license plate number of the taxi, as if it was interfered with by some magic.

There was undoubtedly something wrong with that taxi.

However, the taxi was last seen in this area.

The hackers roughly determined where the target might be.

And he has also discovered based on the intrusion surveillance that other colleagues have also noticed this area.

"Let all the drones fly out, and someone is already fighting for control of the surveillance with me."

He didn't dare to hack into official cameras, because that would mean confronting China's government forces, and the hackers who dared to do so - they had been lost for a long time.

He was probably arrested directly by Chinese officials and put into police custody.

I don’t know when it will come out.

However, there are civilian surveillance equipment all over Tokyo. Although most of them have limited field of vision, they are still very useful as long as they are combined together.

"Didn't ask..."

Before his companion finished speaking, the hacker heard a strange sound——

"Hey, why is there a treasure chest?"

He froze for a moment.

What the hell is a treasure chest?

Why do things like treasure chests appear in cities that should not exist at all?

How about playing RPG games here?

"wrong!"

Suddenly, the hacker remembered a rumor.

It is said that when you see a treasure chest in a strange place that should not be there according to common sense, you must resist your greed.

Otherwise, the treasure chest will turn into a terrifying monster that will devour the lives of living people.

I don’t know how this rumor spread, but it spread in the underground world.

Although most people regard it as a funny rumor, hackers think it is true.

Because one of his past companions died like this——

A tattered wooden treasure chest was found among the ruins of the battlefield.

As a bounty hunter, it's natural to seize unowned property.

Then there is no more.

The hacker saw the treasure chest being opened through the body camera of his companion, revealing a wet tongue, strong arms and sharp teeth.

After that, the camera's data transmission was interrupted.

"Don't open that treasure chest!"

The hacker tried to warn his peers.

"Treasure box, hey, my treasure box..."

He heard his companion's irrational murmurs.

"It's my treasure chest, I want to open it..."

In the headphones, the voice of my companion became more and more insane.

"..."

The hacker controlled a drone and returned to the launch site, where it captured a picture like this——

A man who is a bounty hound caresses a treasure chest.

His eyes were fixed on the treasure chest.

Then, reach out and try to open the treasure chest.

"Wake up!"

A cold sweat broke out on the back of the hacker's head.

This is the picture again.

Once the treasure chest is seen, the witness will enter this state of dementia, as if controlled by his own greed.

"Damn."

Seeing that the lock of the treasure chest had been picked, he knew that his companion was hopeless.

Sure enough, the next moment—

The opened treasure chest revealed its true appearance.

A wet tongue, long arms stretched out, sharp and dense teeth.

Then, there was the sound of flesh being bitten off.

The hacker's face became uncertain.

He had no idea who set up this treasure chest trap.

The only good news to be thankful for is probably that seeing the treasure chest through an electronic device does not cause you to enter that state of dementia.

"This mission failed, we have to retreat."

He planned to pack up his things and run away.

As an apostle, the hacker's combat effectiveness is not very strong, and all his skills are focused on network hacking.

This is why he is able to lock onto the general range of his target so quickly.

But now it is useless even if the target is found.

There is no way for me to protect my target from being snatched away by others.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door of the hiding place.

"Hello, the lunch you ordered has arrived."

A voice came from outside the door.

"..."

The hacker clearly remembered that he had not ordered a bento.

Rather, he always ate energy bars, drank coffee, and occasionally gave himself a shot of adrenaline while performing tasks.

He took out the magical firearm hidden in his pocket.

This is the castrated version of the magical firearm that he pieced together with great difficulty.

The Chinese side has been strictly guarding the magical firearms.

Only security forces, the military and some special personnel can use magic firearms.

If he were caught making a homemade magical firearm like him, he would probably be imprisoned for several years.
