Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

In the beginning, it was the informants who assisted in the search, and she only started to get involved after Emiya had been following the two informants for a while.

Her initial goal was to lock onto this suspicious guy, but later she discovered that he had disappeared, and at the same time, the informant happened to have a new suspicious target.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Although the person was caught, no useful intelligence was obtained and the person died.

Now she could only guess that there was a group behind them targeting the infected people.

Otherwise, it is hard to tell where those missing people went.

But this is just her personal opinion, so she went to find the person in front of her who was also investigating the case, hoping to get some different information from him.

But I didn't expect that I didn't get anything out of my pursuit of the other party, which was a bit embarrassing.

At this time, Chen could only hope that Emiya had his own opinions, otherwise he would not be able to break the current deadlock.

"I suggest you start with the victims. According to my statistics, most of the victims are infected people who live alone and do not have stable jobs."

Seeing that Shirou was thinking for a long time, Is finally spoke up and pointed out a clear way.

"Start with the victims?"

Emiya, who had racked his brains but could not think of anything, felt like hearing the sound of nature when he heard Is's voice.

"Victims? We've already investigated this. They basically live alone. The criminal must have targeted this reason."

Chen has collected all the necessary clues, which is naturally something he has taken into consideration.

But most of the infected people have nothing in common other than living alone.

"Uh…"

After hearing what the other party said, Emiya couldn't think of anything useful to say.

This is not his strong point, and it really makes things difficult for him.

He has been so busy these past few days that it would be more accurate to say he is on patrol rather than investigating.

The one who is actually being investigated is Yis. He is just a nominal thug and a tool.

"Tsk, you can't do that. Let me do it."

Seeing Emiya's look, Is didn't want to continue to embarrass him, so he communicated directly through the microphone on the drone.

Of course my voice has changed. Although I am known as a Penguin Logistics employee, this has become a professional habit engraved in my DNA.

Emiya is still relatively inexperienced in this aspect, but this also makes Is feel relieved. After all, perfect people are really a little difficult to approach, especially a kind-hearted person like Emiya.

He mobilized the drone to exchange some information with Chen Weiwei as well as their views on the whole matter over the past few days.

The views of both sides are similar, both pointing to the fact that there is a group behind the scenes manipulating everything, and it can be clearly determined that this is an action targeting the infected.

The only difference is that Chen didn't notice that all the missing infected people didn't have stable jobs.

After all, it is not uncommon for infected people to have unstable jobs, but if the same situation remains the same when the number of people increases, then it would be very problematic.

This is indeed a good entry point.

Unstable jobs mean that there are financial problems, and if there are financial problems, then there may be ways to use money as bait.

While Is and Chen were communicating, Emiya continued...looking for suspicious people.

He's okay for simpler reasoning, but don't look for him for something this in-depth.

He is just a high school student, so don't make things difficult for him.

Is is a smart man, and the hooded man seems to be a smart man as well. When the two were communicating, Emiya couldn't understand what they were saying, but he could understand the results of the summary.

It turns out that it would be better if there were fewer riddles and more sincerity in this world!

Just as Emiya was thinking this, a loud explosion was heard in the distance.

Boom-

The roar was accompanied by a large amount of flames and smoke.

Although it was some distance away from here, the explosion could be seen clearly without any enhancement magic.

"Use this to contact me later. I'll go over first."

Looking at the thick smoke floating around, Chen frowned first, then threw the communicator hanging on his waist in the direction of Emiya.

The explosion was very loud, and as a member of the Guard Bureau, she had to deal with it.

"Row."

Shirou caught the communicator thrown to him and put it directly into his coat pocket.

He also planned to go over to check out the situation. If he was not mistaken, the explosion should have occurred in an apartment building where people lived.

It's hard to confirm now because of the smoke.

If it's an apartment... then it's bad.

"You want to go over there?"

Through the drone's footage, Is naturally saw Emiya's current appearance.

This guy is really not afraid of death. When he saw this kind of thing happening, the first thing he did was not to leave, but to go right up to it.

He even started to wonder if Emiya was the person with the rescue system in the online novels.

If not, Emiya is ill and needs treatment!

"Well, I have to go over there."

After taking a quick look at the residents who were evacuating nearby, Emiya nodded and said.

"Alas...remember to put your own safety first."

At this moment, Is felt like the grandfather of the Texas group, worrying about a lot of things for their mother.

There's nothing wrong with that, Emiya is their mother, and he worries about her like an old father to Emiya.

The only thing left is helping Emiya find a partner. Even working overtime for the emperor isn't this tiring.

"I will."

After saying that, Emiya jumped down.

"*Longmen swears* You just finished saying that and you jumped?"

The next second after Emiya promised Is that he would pay attention to his own safety, Emiya jumped directly from a seven-story building.

Is, who was watching this scene through the drone, almost smashed the screen.

"What the hell?"

On the other side, Chen, who was climbing down the stairs, also noticed a red figure flashing by outside.

At this moment, she was on the fifth floor. Looking down from the window near the stairs, she could see Emiya landing steadily on the ground, then jumping onto the low house and heading towards the site of the explosion.

"?????"

The scene was so magical that Chen wondered if she had seen it wrong.

However, looking at the figure that was quickly disappearing, Chen continued to run downstairs.

She didn't forget what she was supposed to do.

The people at Penguin Logistics are working so hard, so she, who is from the Guards Bureau, should work even harder.

This is what she should do as the head of the Guard Bureau's inspection team.

129 There are a lot of people doing brave things in Longmen recently?

With the help of magic, Emiya quickly arrived at the site of the explosion.

He was indeed not mistaken just now. This was an apartment building, and it didn't even have an elevator.

There are even many anti-theft windows on it.

"Save... help me..."

Fire, smoke, cries for help, and rubble all over the ground.

Emiya felt like he was back to that day.

That day, that fire.

The scenes from that time kept flashing through my mind.

Broken, crushed under stones, choked by smoke...

"Emiya? Are you okay? You look a little bad, don't force yourself."

Through the drone's footage, Is could clearly see what Emiya looked like at the moment.

A pair of eyes were fixed on the fire, and his breathing rate gradually became rapid.

And you can see cold sweat constantly pouring out of Emiya's face.

If you look closely, you can see that his body is trembling slightly.

All signs indicate that Emiya seems to have some experience with this kind of large-scale fire.

Perhaps it could be said to be a psychological shadow, but Iskor had never seen anyone with such a calm expression when facing a psychological shadow.

Right now, Emiya can be said to be...very calm?

"Phew... I'm fine. Can you help me check which floors are occupied?"

Emiya took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Although the scene was still filled with fire and smoke, he was different from that time. Now he had the ability to save others.

He is no longer the little kid who could only wait for his father to save him in the fire.

Just as he had been able to rush into the fire and bring out the snow pheasant before, he could do it this time too.

"…The building is five stories high in total. There are people on the rooftop and by the right window on the fourth floor. The others need to be confirmed."

By raising the drone, and through the angles seen during flight and calculations using a dedicated program, Is quickly locked onto two places where people were.

"There's one on the right side of the third floor, next to the window, against the wall. There also seems to be one on the left side of the fifth floor."

Due to the obstruction of the thick smoke, Emiya couldn't see clearly. He could only tell Is about the floor where he suspected someone was and ask him to confirm the situation.

Yis is responsible for finding out where there are people, and he... has to rescue them.

The building in front of me is five stories high and has a rooftop.

Although the number of floors is a bit low, there seem to be six households on each floor.

There are at least six windows on the side that Emiya sees, most of which are designed as anti-theft windows.

Normally, it should be possible to push open the security windows, but there are still a few people who cannot push open the security windows.

It may have fallen into disrepair, have heavy objects placed on it, or simply not be designed to be opened.

"Strengthen, start!"

Enhanced vision is necessary to determine the victim's location.

In order to ensure the rescue of the victim, the reinforcement of the feet is necessary.

In order to be able to climb up the building, it is also necessary to strengthen both hands.

A large amount of blue magic power gushed out from Emiya's body, and his red coat continued to flutter.

"This is…"

Is felt that he had too little experience. This was the first time he saw someone who could generate air waves by himself and make clothes crackle.

I don't understand the purpose, but it looks pretty cool.

He remembered that the boss had previously complained that the appearance was too monotonous, so perhaps this could be considered.

"As the boss expected, is there anyone involved besides the Imperial Guards?"

Below, a man wearing a round gentleman's hat was hidden among the crowd of onlookers, staring at the red figure behind him.

It’s not about how much noise the other party made, but that he has been paying attention to whether there are any suspicious people around.

The intervention of Sir Chen, the head of the Guard Bureau's inspection team, was expected, but the appearance of those arrows also made them realize that in addition to the Guard Bureau, there were other people entering the scene.

"Does this explosion... make sense?"
