Public executions started with King Adonai

Well, protests and such are the daily routine of the kings of talkativeness. They have to protest no matter what.

However, the image on the screen was not affected by these people and continued to play the story of the Holy Grail War at its own pace.

This time, the reality is that Irisviel and Hisau Maiya, who retreated to the back of the castle and were about to evacuate, encountered Kotomine Kirei who came alone.

At this moment, the scene switches to Kotomine Kirei's memories, telling people why Kotomine Kirei came here.

It turned out that after what happened last night, Kotomine Kirei was determined to find Emiya Kiritsugu and bring him to justice. He conducted an investigation during the day and learned about Emiya Kiritsugu's background through the information provided by his teacher Tōsaka Tokiomi. He felt that this man was very dangerous and must be found and eliminated to prevent more innocent people from being in danger.

Although there is the more dangerous existence of the Caster Group, Kotomine Kirei did not go to find them personally, but handed the task to his servant Li Shuwen, and the two acted separately.

The duel between Lancer and Saber tonight attracted the attention of all parties in Fuyuki City. Kotomine Kirei also noticed it and rushed over immediately.

Now, I just happened to meet Irisviel and Hisau Maiya.

When they saw Kotomine Kirei, the two women's expressions changed drastically, as if in their eyes, Kotomine Kirei was an extremely dangerous guy.

Kotomine Kirei's target was not the two of them, but he also knew the relationship between the two and Emiya Kiritsugu, so he directly asked the two where Emiya Kiritsugu was.

Naturally, Irisviel and Hisau Maiya would not tell each other the whereabouts of Emiya Kiritsugu. It seemed that they believed that the other party must never meet Emiya Kiritsugu, otherwise Emiya Kiritsugu would be in danger.

To be honest, these words made the audience in the real world feel baffled. The cunning old man Kiritsugu was showing now was much stronger than Kotomine Kirei, the upright and heroic priest. If the two sides met, even if Kotomine Kirei was good at fighting, it would definitely be Emiya Kiritsugu who would get the final victory.

Of course, the two sides haven't fought yet, so perhaps Kotomine Kirei has some hidden tricks up his sleeve.

But at the moment, Kotomine Kirei failed to negotiate with the two women, so he decided to capture them first, and then interrogate Emiya Kiritsugu's whereabouts, or use the two women to lure Emiya Kiritsugu out.

Anyway, he had to find Emiya Kiritsugu today, showing great obsession.

This obsession puzzled Irisviel, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have to find Kiritsugu?"

Kotomine Kirei said with a serious expression, "Because that man has committed numerous crimes. I've already checked his background. He's committed crimes in various countries, and this time he even blew up the Fuyuki Hotel. He's a complete terrorist. I must bring such a sinner to justice!"

He was powerful, upright, with a firm gaze and a righteous face, giving off the air of a partner of justice.

It fits Kotomine Kirei's character perfectly, but Irisviel and Hisau Maiya found it incredible after hearing it. They looked at each other and both found it difficult to understand.

Irisviel was confused: "What's going on? Are you...really Kotomine Kirei?"

Kotomine Kirei frowned: "If I'm not Kotomine Kirei, then who am I? Woman, are you trying to confuse me with your sweet words?"

Irisviel remained silent, and past memories flashed through her mind.

In a study, Emiya Kiritsugu stared at several photos that belonged to Kotomine Kirei. However, unlike the upright, solemn and determined Kotomine Kirei, the Kotomine Kirei in the photos had cold eyes and an expressionless face. Just one glance at him gave people the feeling that he did not seem to have any human emotions.

Emiya Kiritsugu stared at the photo with a serious expression and said, "Eri, this man is very scary. He is Kotomine Kirei, and he is also the Master of this Holy Grail War. He is a monster with a different mind, and he is also my natural enemy. If I go against him, I might lose."

"So, Ellie, when you meet this man, run away if you can and don't fight him."

The recollection ended here. Irisviel looked at the man in front of her who was as upright as the hero in martial arts novels. It was really hard to connect him with the mentally abnormal man in her memory who seemed to be cold and ruthless to everything in the world.

What on earth is going on with this Kotomine Kirei? Could it be that the Kotomine Kirei in the intelligence report is just a false disguise?

Or……

Is the Kotomine Kirei in front of him the fake one?

Think carefully.

Not only Irisviel and Hisau Maiya in the light screen image, but people in the real world also felt their scalps tingling.

There is no doubt that from the moment the image on the screen started playing, Kotomine Kirei displayed the demeanor of a chivalrous hero with very upright values, so upright that it even made many people feel uncomfortable, but they did not take it seriously and thought that he was a pedantic person.

However, the information revealed now proves that there is something wrong with Kotomine Kirei. The ability demonstrated by Emiya Kiritsugu proves that his ability to collect intelligence is absolutely first-class, so the information he collected about Kotomine Kirei should be correct.

So the question is, why is there such a big difference in personality between Kotomine Kirei in the past and Kotomine Kirei now?

Could it be that Kotomine Kirei suddenly became enlightened and had something to pursue in life, and therefore became so righteous?

This is pure bullshit. Even if the villain was whitewashed in the story, his personality change couldn't be so drastic. He doesn't look like the same person at all!

Yaoguang-Chaldea.

Father Kotomine Kirei spoke up, "There's no doubt that the true personality of the 'I' in the image on the screen is the one Emiya Kiritsugu discovered through investigation. The one who lacks human emotions, the one with the cold eyes that even Emiya Kiritsugu finds frightening."

"Combined with the previous conversation between Tōsaka Tokiomi and Gilgamesh, 'my' current personality should have been shaped."

"Yes, the man named Kotomine Kirei, his heroic will! His integrity! His perseverance in life! His awareness! Everything is false! It was all given to him by others!"

"It's really exciting and something to look forward to! I really want to see my reaction when I find out the truth. Just thinking about it makes me happy. Everyone, don't you agree?"

With a happy smile on his face, the words he spoke made people's scalps tingle. Everyone at the scene turned to look at this priest who was silent most of the time.

At this moment, his mental abnormality was directly revealed, leaving many people puzzled. You're being publicly executed, and it looks horrible. Others would be helpless and speechless in this situation, so why are you so excited? You're actually looking forward to seeing yourself humiliated and in pain. Are you crazy?

Wuliangta Himeko pondered: "So that's how it is, a mental anomaly... Just like the results of the investigation of Emiya Kiritsugu in the light screen image, and the same is true for Emiya Kiritsugu in the real world."

"So it can be basically confirmed that the Kotomine Kirei that Emiya Kiritsugu investigated in the light screen image is the real Kotomine Kirei, and the current Kotomine Kirei is very likely a false personality created by Tōsaka Tokiomi through some means."

As the director of Yaoguang-Chaldea, Wuliangta Jizi is knowledgeable. Although it is fantastic to create a false personality, there are actually corresponding examples in the real world. From a scientific point of view, it is completely feasible, but it is very inhumane and is expressly prohibited.

However, there are still many mysterious things in the real world that can easily distort people's personalities. After all, the mysterious thing is a distortion of reality, and it is also a terrible spiritual pollution for human beings.

Fortunately, although Kotomine Kirei in the real world is also a mentally abnormal guy, he is not the kind of guy who would hurt others. Moreover, he seems to like watching others get humiliated more than watching himself get humiliated, which makes him feel unprecedented pleasure.

Well, he's just a psychopath. He's dangerous, but not serious. You just need to keep an eye on him.

Wuliangta Jizi made this judgment in her mind.

On the screen, the knight Kotomine Kirei felt that Irisviel was talking nonsense and that she was a witch trying to disturb his mood, so he didn't intend to listen anymore and took action directly.

As soon as the two sides started fighting, Kotomine Kirei showed his extremely strong strength. Without using the black keys, he was able to defeat the two of them with just physical skills.

As for the physical skills, they directly caused a lot of people to be surprised, because what he used was Bajiquan, and he practiced it very well. It was obviously the result of practicing day and night since childhood, and after countless trials and tribulations.

In an instant, people suddenly realized why Kotomine Kirei was able to summon Li Shuwen. Isn't it natural for a Bajiquan practitioner to summon the predecessor of Bajiquan?

With his refined Bajiquan skills, Kotomine Kirei easily got close to him. Hisau Maiya tried to attack with a submachine gun, but Kotomine Kirei dodged most of them. For those that he couldn't dodge, he raised his arms to block them directly.

At the same time, the strengthening magic was activated, strengthening Kotomine Kirei's body.

The bullet hit his arm but failed to penetrate the armor (clothes). Apparently, the material of the clothes was very special and had bulletproof properties.

As for the impact of the bullet, it was directly resisted by the enhanced magic and the body of the warrior who had been tempered by thousands of times.

Next, it was Kotomine Kirei's personal performance time. He knocked down Irisviel and Hisau Maiya with a series of Bajiquan punches that showed no mercy and could have made countless female boxers in the real world punch hard.

Neither the beautiful woman in men's clothing, Hisau Maiya, nor the charming Irisviel, could shake his iron fist. Hisau Maiya's face was swollen due to her fierce resistance, which made countless people feel toothache.

As for Irisviel, she received a heavy blow to the stomach, which was truly an abortion punch.

This beating directly caused Kotomine Kirei to attract countless hostility in the real world.

Beating up the mistress is fine, but actually beating up Mrs. Airi is absolutely unforgivable! Kotomine Kirei, you, a straight man without any emotions, really deserve to be punished by heaven!

-

In the open-air stands of Yaoguang Chaldea's headquarters, Emiya Kiritsugu stared at the situation on the screen, and then looked at Kotomine Kirei in the real world not far away with a faint gaze.

Just looking at that look that contained infinite meaning, it was hard not to suspect that he had more ways of killing people in his mind than Conan.

After all, this guy is a former agent and knows a lot about killing methods.

Chapter 98: The Glory of the Knight King

From the images on the light screen, it was clear that Kotomine Kirei was really holding back. Both Irisviel and Hisahi Maiya were beaten to the point of vomiting blood, and Hisahi Maiya was even knocked to the ground and couldn't even get up.

But even after suffering such a blow, Irisviel and Hisau Maiya still showed their determination to fight to the end and stop Kotomine Kirei. Their performance of protecting the man they loved without hesitation undoubtedly moved countless men in the real world, and made everyone feel that Kotomine Kirei was becoming more and more like a villain.

Kotomine Kirei himself seemed to think so, so he frowned and said that he couldn't understand why the two of them risked their lives to protect that inhuman and dangerous man, Emiya Kiritsugu. Is a guy like that worth their efforts?

Faced with this kind of question, many viewers in the real world said, "This is love." After all, when a woman loves a man deeply, it is natural for her to do some bloody things.

However, Irisviel did not respond in this way. Instead, she firmly retorted, "No, Kiritsugu is a kinder person than anyone else. He is not as inhuman as you claim! Everything Kiritsugu does is for the justice he upholds!"

Kotomine Kirei was even more puzzled: "Justice? That man? His so-called justice is actually the greatest evil!"

It is obvious that they do not believe it and find it difficult to understand. In the real world, many people think that Kotomine Kirei is too naive and obviously ignorant. If he were to see the extremist organizations in the Middle East who shout slogans of justice every day but do cruel things, he would understand that "justice" may not be a good word.

Irisviel immediately retorted loudly: "No, Kiritsugu's justice is true justice! Because everything he does is to save this world!"

Kotomine Kirei: “…???”

To be honest, Kotomine Kirei has a black question mark face. That man Emiya Kiritsugu actually wants to save the world?

What has happened to this world that it needs someone like you to save it?

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and Kotomine Kirei's intuition, which had been cultivated over many years of fighting, saved his life—accompanied by a gunshot, bullets swept in from a hundred and fifty meters away.

The light screen image uses slow motion at this moment, allowing people to clearly see that it is a special bullet.

At the same time, some people with good memory quickly recognized what the bullet was - it was the special bullet that Kiritsugu Emiya used to attack Kenneth. It was a bullet with magic-breaking properties that could cut off the magician's magic circuits and connect them randomly.

Although Kotomine Kirei's strongest display so far is his various physical skills, he is indeed a magician.

Therefore, if he were hit by a bullet, Kotomine Kirei would definitely die from the same hallucination-like scene that Kenneth saw, with his magic circuits collapsing and blood vessels bursting all over his body.

At this moment, in the real world, countless people subconsciously clenched their fists, or shouted in their hearts, or shouted out loud.

Although the languages are different and the words spoken are also different, they all express the same meaning, which is - Emiya Kiritsugu did a great job!

Obviously, the scene where Kotomine Kirei beat up the extremely popular "heroine" Irisviel with his iron straight punch attracted a lot of negative comments from passers-by.

However, as mentioned before, Kotomine Kirei's intuition gained from years of fighting saved his life. At the critical moment, the bullet that was aimed directly at his chest was finally avoided by his full dodging.

However, the bullets with strong penetrating power and magic-breaking properties easily penetrated Kotomine Kirei's bullet-proof priest uniform, proving that this bullet-proof clothing was actually a magical creation.

At the same time, the bullet with extremely strong impact grazed his left rib. The huge kinetic energy directly smashed the place into a bloody mess, leaving a scar as thick as two fingers.

In an instant, the demon-breaking attribute was activated on Kotomine Kirei, but it did not produce the effect that Kayneth had imagined.

Because the bullet just grazed the target, its maximum effect was not achieved.

But even so, at this moment, the bullet destroyed a certain technique in Kotomine Kirei's body. Although the damage was very small and it could not completely destroy it, it did have an effect.

In an instant, Kotomine Kirei felt something break in his brain. It was not some memory awakening, but something else seemed to loosen. This loosening made his emotions instantly difficult to control. He had an urge to tear something apart and break through something, but he couldn't grasp the key point, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

“Ah ...

Subconsciously covering his head with his right hand, Kotomine Kirei roared like a wild beast, then turned around and ran away with his feet crushing the ground. This was the effect of enhanced magic, allowing him to exert power far beyond that of ordinary people.

With his swiftness, he rushed into the forest and disappeared in a short time.

The camera shifted to the Toosaka residence at this moment. Toosaka Tokiomi, who was reading an ancient book in the room with his chin supported by one hand, seemed to suddenly feel something and suddenly closed the book in his hand.

"Oh my, it seems I underestimated the magicians of this Holy Grail War. They actually caused my 'Mirror Flower and Water Moon' to be damaged. Who did it? Was it intentional? Or was it just a coincidence?"

"Well, it seems that this Holy Grail War, which was originally a bit boring, is now a bit tiring. So, Kirei, can you let the real you come out through this 'crack', or will you continue to be your 'hero'? Ah, I'm suddenly curious."

As he spoke these words, the smile on Tōsaka Tokiomi's face was elegant and calm, mysterious and profound. Under the camera's sense, this man was looking sideways at the 'camera', as if he was looking at people in the real world through the light screen.

Under the gaze of that deep gaze, many people swallowed their saliva involuntarily. An indescribable feeling of oppression came over them, making them subconsciously lean back.

Even though I know that this eye contact is fake and the other person can't see this side, it seems that those eyes can really see everything through the light screen.

At this moment, many people even had the illusion that they were not actually the audience, but the one in the image on the screen, Tohsaka Tokiomi, was the one.

In the viewing platform of Yaoguang-Chaldea headquarters, Tōsaka Tokiomi's whole body was stiff. Compared to the others, he felt the most deeply. The 'him' in the image on the screen made him feel a huge pressure, even rushing towards him, as if he had encountered a terrible natural enemy.

At the same time, Tōsaka Tokiomi also felt it was ridiculous. There was no reason for him to have such a big reaction when facing 'himself'. Even if the other party was indeed much stronger than him, it would not be possible to have such a big shock.

"Is the 'me' in the image on the screen really me?"

Suddenly, Tōsaka Tokiomi had this horrifying question.

-

The image on the light screen switched from Tōsaka Tokiomi to the location of Einzbern Castle.

After seeing Kotomine Kirei escape, Emiya Kiritsugu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a little disappointed that no one had dealt with Kotomine Kirei directly, it was enough for him to be able to drive away this terrible enemy.

He ran forward immediately, and Irisviel was already using healing magic to treat herself and Hisau Maiya. The two were very happy to see Kiritsugu Emiya arrive, but the damage on Kiritsugu's clothes caused by the battle with Kayneth made them a little worried.

However, the three of them did not have time to talk much, because at this moment a terrible magical explosion appeared in front of the castle.

In an instant, the three of them knew what it was.

Irisviel muttered, "This... is Saber's magic, but why is it so violent? It seems to contain immense rage."

Emiya Kiritsugu: “…”
