Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

But this time it's different. These are all sold under the name of treating mineralogy.

It can be preliminarily determined that this was done by people who felt disgusted with the infected.

This is a common thing, but most people will just express it directly. There are still some people who would put their crooked ideas into the blockers used to treat mineralogy, but relatively not that many.

After all, it is not illegal to openly hate infected people, but it is illegal to take action against blockers.

It was hard for Emiya to understand why someone would tamper with something that was meant to save lives.

They were strangers to each other, but they killed each other just because the other person was infected.

Looking at the documents, in which Chen and Xingxiong tried their best to give objective comments and speculations, Emiya felt a little dazed.

He remembered the spring theory that Chen had mentioned before.

When a person compresses a spring to the bottom, the spring will either become completely weak and no longer bounce back, or it will slowly return to its original shape, or... it will bounce out directly.

"Did they do this because of the infected riot a while ago?"

As for why they suddenly took such action at this point in time, all Emiya could think of was that the actions of those who called themselves the Reunion Movement a while ago hurt these people, which made them want revenge.

"You can say that, but the problem of slum blockers has actually existed for a long time, it's just that it has become more serious recently."

After thinking about Emiya's question for a while, Hoshiguma gave an answer.

These things are hidden dangers that have always existed, but they have always been kept secret, so no one will spend the effort to care about them.

But as some things happened, these hidden dangers gradually became bigger and were directly presented to everyone.

Although it is not a big enough problem to warrant the attention of Lungmen and the Guards Bureau, at least Chen has begun to deal with it.

As far as Xingxiong knew, Lao Chen had planted quite a few informants in the slums.

Sometimes he even received news faster than her, a former gang member in the ghetto.

“I see… I understand.”

Hearing Hoshiguma's answer, Emiya took a deep breath and placed the documents in his hand flat on the table.

He has always known about the problems between ordinary people and the infected, but the reality is far more bloody than what is described.

At least according to the data in his hand, there were at least dozens of infected people who died because of those unusable blockers, and the youngest was only in his teens.

"Don't think too much. The most important thing is to catch the person first. Don't let your emotions affect you."

Noticing that Emiya's condition seemed a little abnormal, Hoshiguma tried to comfort him a little.

She is familiar with this job. The old Chen before was just like Shirou now, suddenly exuding a strong sense of depression.

No, Old Chen still behaves like this occasionally. The last time Emiya was bombed, a very strong low pressure was released, and even Missy was affected.

This is easy to understand, being angry at those people's behavior, or blaming yourself for not doing well enough.

It's not that it's bad, but it's very dangerous to get stuck in a rut at work.

Especially for someone like Lao Chen who can chop down an entire underground garage with Chi Xiao, it is very dangerous, not to mention Emiya, a humanoid tactical destroyer.

It would be disastrous if Emiya got too angry and didn't stop himself from attacking again.

At most, Lao Chen smashed the basement or the vault. It is possible that Shirou is in danger within three kilometers with him as the center point.

Thinking of this, Xingxiong felt tired.

I didn't expect that in addition to Lao Chen and Missy who need to be persuaded, there is now one more person, Emiya.

"Xingxiong is right. Don't think too much. The most important thing is to catch the people first and prevent the next victim from being created. Personal emotions should be put aside as much as possible."

Chen on the side also shared his own experience.

"Ah, I'm fine, don't worry."

After hearing what the two said, Emiya realized that his behavior just now had made them worried.

He did feel a little guilty, after all, he had heard about the problem with the blockers from Lapland, but he later found out that it was a daily occurrence in the slums, and apart from the reduced efficacy, there were no other problems, and the price was also very cheap, so he didn't take it seriously.

He was just thinking, if... he had continued investigating at that time, would these people not have died?

Unfortunately, there is no if, he has to accept this reality.

The only thing he could do was to assist Chen Sir and Xingxiong in arresting all those people and handing them over to the Guard Bureau so that they would receive the punishment they deserved.

"Yeah... I'm glad you're okay."

Seeing Emiya's look, Hoshiguma immediately looked at his old partner.

"..."

Like Xingxiong, Chen also looked at the other party. In this moment, the two had no verbal communication, but they reached a consensus in their hearts.

You have to keep an eye on Emiya and don't let him overturn (blow up) the dragon gate.

Unlike Hoshiguma, Chen knew that Emiya had a more brutal side.

At present, Longmen does not want to stage another big fireworks display in the short term.

"Um…"

Unlike the other two who were worried, Emiya took a sip of hot tea and looked at the information on the document.

It was not complicated and was much easier to read than the materials he had compiled during his previous internship.

At least there aren't as many proper nouns as before. Most of them are specially marked by Chen and Xingxiong to make it easier for him to read.

After all, it was a small-man operation, and Emiya no longer had to just follow orders like he did during his previous internship. He still had to master some information so that he could judge for himself what to do when encountering problems.

The first thing Emiya looked at were the people who were known to be behind the scenes.

I'm not sure if there are other people behind the scenes, but it's clear that these are the ones giving orders at the moment.

Including those who helped from the side, the races include Filin, Pelo, Luper... basically some of the common races in Longmen.

Although the races are different, are they on the same side when facing the infected?

Although similar thoughts kept popping up in his head, Emiya remained very calm overall.

There is no way Emiya would do what Xingxiong and Chen are worried about.

Emiya would not, and would not allow himself to, make a mistake out of anger.

Every time he takes action, he tries his best not to affect others.

For example, Fantasy Collapse was not used on the snowfield because of the fear that the blast would trigger an avalanche, leading to a more serious disaster.

Or maybe they would not use anything other than arrows as arrows unless it was necessary.

These are all things he has considered.

Although the more things he cares about, the more restricted his actions will become, but Emiya will not change his course of action.

Of course, if he encounters a situation that he really cannot take care of, he will still abandon this principle.

It would be bad if we lose the big picture for the small because of this principle.

These tactical plans were compiled by Shimiya based on his own memories and experience, as well as some suggestions and experience from Is and others. He felt that these were the most suitable tactical plans for him at the moment.

There were too many things on the continent of Terra that he had never seen before.

Therefore, it is best to be conservative. His advantage here is that his various treasures can change the rhythm of the attack and the use of treasures at any time.

However, considering the speed of information transmission here, Is gave the advice to hide one's other treasures as much as possible.

Until it is really needed, it will be taken out as a trump card to deliver a fatal blow.

194 Carp Detective Agency

After all, it is related to blockers. The Guard Bureau can only be said to have some involvement in this aspect, but what they know is also quite limited.

And speaking of the people who understand the inhibitor market the most…

The first place Emiya thought of was Rhodes Island's office in Lungmen.

But after thinking about it, he felt something was not right. The source of the blockers at the office seemed to be supplied by Rhodes Island itself, and they might not be familiar with this area.

So Emiya thought of another doctor with whom he had worked before, but the doctor was a little strange.

Ah.

Although Ah is not a formal doctor and does not specialize in treating mineralogy, he has more or less contact with blockers in the slums.

Although this is just Emiya's unilateral opinion, it is still important to collect all the information.

If possible, Emiya hopes to catch all the people involved in this whole incident in one fell swoop, so he will try his best to get even the smallest piece of information.

However, it was already very late, and Emiya was not sure whether the other party had rested, so he could only take out his mobile phone and send a message to the other party, saying that he had some questions to ask.

"If someone from Emiya wants to see you, go back first. I'll work out the battle plan with Hoshiguma in more detail."

Noticing that Emiya was holding a cell phone and sending messages, Chen thought that someone from Penguin Logistics was sending messages to Emiya.

It feels good to be urged to go back, right?

Chen, who hadn't felt this way for a long time, suddenly thought.

"Ah? I've already told Penguin Logistics that they know what I'm doing and they won't specifically look for me unless it's necessary."

After hearing Chen's words, Emiya was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and explained briefly.

"So you are now?"

If no one contacts you, then you are just being lazy, right?

Imagining the scene of Emiya being lazy, Chen felt that this possibility was not very high. After all, Emiya had always been diligent.

"This? I'm contacting someone I know right now, hoping to get more information."

Emiya said, shaking the phone in his hand.

"I see... That's right, Emiya, you know a lot of people in the slums, and your acquaintances may provide more and more accurate information than informants."

Upon learning that Emiya wanted to find more information from someone he knew, Chen didn't think it was a big deal.

She and Hoshima had already tried their best to get as much information as possible, and Emiya had not been in the slums or even in the entire Longmen for a long time, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Emiya doesn't look like a social phobic, so his circle of friends shouldn't be too wide, right?

It seemed to end at that store.

Speaking of shops… Chen thought of Purple Carters, who hadn’t reported to the Guards Bureau for a long time.

That is dark thread.

If Chen remembered correctly, An Suo had sold information in the slums in the past, and she had also approached him several times.

When giving the other person Longmen coins, she would give them a little more, and then the next day she could still see the other person saying hello to her in prison.

However, they no longer see each other, but Chen knows that Ansuo is living a good life in Emiya's shop, living the life that a person of her age should have.

Instead of risking everything to survive on the streets of the slums, or even going to dangerous places to collect intelligence and sell it.

It's...pretty good.

"By the way, you can ask Ansuo. She has collected a lot of intelligence in the slums in the past. Maybe she can use some of it."

Since they both thought of each other, Chen simply let Emiya take advantage of the other party.

If you have intelligence, take it; if you don’t, forget it.

"Ah."

After hearing what Chen said, Emiya nodded to show that he understood.

He had also heard about Anso, but when he thought about the purple mochi slumped at the cash register every time he went there, it was hard for Emiya to imagine that this ball of mochi had been an agile intelligence dealer in the past.

However, he didn't care what kind of person the other party was in the past, and he would not let An Suo continue to do such a dangerous job.

At least not before adulthood.

I sent a message to Ansuo and received a response immediately.

An Suo: "I have heard relevant news."

Ansuo: "I heard that most of them are made up of people who are hostile to the infected. The exact manufacturing location of those blockers is unclear, but it is certain that they are not produced in Longmen, but shipped in from outside. I don't know the rest."

"..."

Looking at the message sent by Ansou, Emiya suddenly felt that he should have asked the other party earlier.
