Shirou Emiya is determined to kill all the cursed spirits and evil spirits

Sanlunxia now only hopes that the third-level cursed spirit has not been assimilated with the cursed object.

"It seems like something is watching us over there."

Emiya suddenly began to preach.

"Where... is that a cursed spirit?!"

Kasumi Miwa followed the direction Emiya was looking and looked somewhere in the back mountain, but she didn't see anything there.

But with Emiya's eyes, there was no way he was wrong.

There should have been a black shadow there just now.

Volume 1: Chapter 13: At least help me get the death penalty

Even though they knew that there might be dangers beyond their imagination on the back mountain, Emiya and Kasumi Miwa still stepped in without hesitation.

After all, the sorcerer's job is to remove the cursed spirits. Even if they choose to retreat this time, sooner or later a sorcerer will come back to remove them.

More importantly, not only will the cursed spirit become stronger under the influence of the cursed object, but new victims are also likely to be born during this time difference.

According to what Kasumi Miwa described to Emiya, the reason why cursed spirits are attracted to powerful cursed objects is because they can almost absolutely improve the cursed spirits.

Because the essence of cursed spirits and cursed objects is curse, they can be integrated with the curses on cursed objects with almost no side effects.

In other words, even if a third-level cursed spirit obtains a first-level cursed item, it can undergo a transformation in a very short period of time, thereby increasing the weight of the cursed power to the first-level level.

The only downside is that the fusion of the curse is likely to cause the cursed spirit to lose its original appearance and sanity.

But would the cursed spirit really care about that kind of thing?

"The traces of filth only ended here... Where did they go?"

Standing somewhere in the bamboo forest, Sanlun Xia was inevitably a little confused about her current situation.

It would be fine if it was some special cursed spirit, but how could the residue left by a cursed object suddenly disappear?

"Are there any sorcerers who stand against humans?" Emiya suddenly asked.

"Hey, why do you say that suddenly?"

In her nervous state, Kasumi Miwa completely forgot to maintain her dignity as a senior and replied dully, "There are indeed curse masters who refuse to abide by the rules of the High School and enjoy wantonly toying with the lives of non-magicians, but we haven't heard from them in a long time."

Believe that human attitudes and thoughts are diverse no matter what the environment, so don't think that all sorcerers will choose to selflessly contribute to society.

Some people cannot control their desires and become corrupted after acquiring the power of a sorcerer, while some are simply murderers who awaken to become sorcerers.

If it weren't for the fact that hot weapons were only ineffective against cursed spirits and not sorcerers, that guy would probably be even more arrogant.

"Really? There really are guys like that..."

"Because the lock of the shuttered box was pried open, the person who took the cursed item clearly had a purpose from the beginning and is unlikely to be an ordinary person."

"And...this place smells of blood."

Perhaps due to the replacement and fusion with the Heroic Spirit Emiya, Shirou Emiya's body is indeed in a very bad state most of the time, but this also gives him senses that far exceed those of humans.

He is quite sensitive to this kind of things.

"Does it smell like blood?"

Sanlun Xia stood on tiptoe and sniffed her nose, and even tried to stick out her butt, but she still only inhaled the fragrance of the earth.

How did this guy smell it, a dog's nose?!

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be..."

Emiya did not directly respond to Kasumi Miwa's doubts, but instead groped for a few dozen meters following the source of the smell.

It was an open space nestled among the bamboo forests. Only when you got closer could you see the yellow cordon. The bloody smell that Emiya smelled came from there.

Considering that the five victims were found in the mountains behind the college, it is probably not difficult to guess where this place is.

No one knew what kind of disaster had killed them, but the smell of blood was so strong that even Sanlun Xia had to cover her nose.

Fortunately, the body has been handled by the staff of the High Commissioner, otherwise there might be some strange smell of various dead microorganisms.

"Ah! There are traces of filth here again. The cursed object must have gone there..."

Kasumi Miwa subconsciously wanted to follow the trail in her sight, but when she turned around, she saw that Emiya had chosen another direction at the fork in the road.

"There's obviously a strong smell on the road here, which is probably the direction the murderer left." Emiya explained seriously.

Regardless of whether it was a cursed spirit, a curse caster, or something else entirely, Emiya would catch him.

"Well, it's not impossible for us to temporarily split up and search for clues... but you must not act too arrogantly."

"If you encounter any enemy or danger, you should find a way to reunite with me as soon as possible."

The development of the matter was a little unexpected, but as a senior, Kasumi Miwa still felt that she had an obligation to take good care of the other party.

Emiya nodded in response, and the two of them went their separate ways.

The bamboo forest at night was quieter than expected, and the loudest sound echoing in it was the sound of Emiya's footsteps stepping on the soil.

Compared to the woods last night, the view here is much wider.

But the combination of these two points means that not only can he find the target quickly, but the other party will also be able to notice his arrival more quickly.

Emiya tried his best to walk lightly, but he didn't dare to walk too slowly.

The murder happened yesterday. If the murderer was someone other than the cursed spirit, he would have escaped long ago.

But we also cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is simply a perverted killer.

Emiya still remembered what Kiritsugu had told him: those perverts who took killing as a form of entertainment would most likely return to the scene of the crime the next day to admire their 'masterpiece'.

Maybe the shadow he saw not long ago was that guy?

After all, Senior Sanlun didn’t know about this matter, but he knew clearly that he couldn’t see the curse spirit.

Click————

Suddenly, the sound of plant debris being crushed echoed in the silent bamboo forest.

But the sound didn't come from under Emiya's feet, but... behind him?!

Emiya suddenly turned around and looked behind him, and his whole body subconsciously entered a state of extremely alert combat.

The person standing behind him was not some terrifying evil spirit, nor a curser with a dark smile on his face, but a middle-aged man with a dull and unprepossessing appearance.

But this does not mean that he is not a dangerous guy. A truly dangerous person will never write these two words on the surface.

His coat was stained with dried blood, most likely from the victims.

He was holding a pistol in his hand, raised high and aiming at Emiya's head, which was why Emiya felt danger instantly.

However, instead of choosing to shoot immediately at this moment, the other party frowned and put down the gun with a "puff" sound after seeing Shirou's face.

"What? He's just a kid after all."

"The government takes so much money, and yet it keeps doing this kind of shit... Haha."

Now it was Emiya's turn to feel inexplicably confused.

If the man in front of him was the murderer, then there was no need for him to be merciful at this time since he had killed so many people.

But if he wasn't...what about the bloodstains on his clothes?

Just when Emiya was feeling extremely confused, the other party suddenly spoke.

"Hey, kid. Do you believe in the existence of God in this world?"

god?

Emiya didn't know why the other party asked such a question.

However, according to theories in the magic world, even more distant beings called gods did exist during the Age of Gods. While they weren't all-knowing and omnipotent creators, they were not far removed from the myths of humankind.

Emiya tried to answer the other man to get information, but before he could open his mouth, the man answered on his own, "I don't think so."

"Because if God really existed, this damn world wouldn't be like this. But I also hope that God really exists, because then I can go to hell peacefully."

"You're not a police officer, but someone in the government who specializes in handling special cases, right?"

"If I am caught by you, will you execute me directly?"

These words are really confusing.

However, the man did not give Emiya the feeling of a vicious murderer, but rather someone who was seeking death because he had lost hope in the world.

"I don't know. It's not for me to judge such things."

Emiya chose a direct answer.

"Is that so? This is very troublesome... But if I kill you again, then it will be all right, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man raised the gun in his hand again.

Emiya realized something was wrong the moment the other party opened his mouth.

The two of them were about ten meters apart, a safe distance for a shooter to avoid making a mistake. However, Emiya's reaction speed was beyond the reach of an ordinary person; he would definitely complete his move before the other party could successfully aim.

The moment the other party raised his pistol, Emiya had already bent down and concentrated all his explosive power.

So——

boom----!

The crisp sound of gunfire echoed throughout the entire forest, but the bullet undoubtedly missed the target.

Because before the man even pulled the trigger, Emiya's figure rushed to less than a meter in front of him, and then he lowered his body and hit the arm of the man who was aiming the gun, causing the man's bullet to deviate and shoot into the sky.

In just a few seconds, Emiya pushed the man to the ground, and the pistol fell to the side.

Compared to the physical strength and combat skills of the Heroic Spirit level, ordinary humans have absolutely no chance of winning.

However, Emiya did not feel much joy of victory, because he found that the man's hand was tilted upwards from the beginning, which meant that the bullet would not hit him.

"why?"

Emiya really couldn't imagine what kind of murderer would deliberately allow himself to be caught.

"Ahem... No wonder even a child was used to carry out the mission, he's really amazing."

"But if you're wondering why... the victims listed above should be three, right?"

After being pressed there by Emiya, the man's posture seemed to relax a little more.

He forced a mocking sneer from the corner of his mouth and said, "But in reality, over the past month, the victims of this school are actually six students."

Six?

This is not just a matter of doubling the number, but it means that three more children have lost their lives at the most lively age.

Even for a family, this is an extremely heavy blow, and it may even become the trigger for their family to completely collapse.

If possible, Emiya really doesn't want to see such a thing happen, but what is the reason for the Jujutsu High School to conceal the death toll?

Before Emiya could figure out the problem, he heard the man stating the facts in a cold voice.

"The first victim was my daughter, but she didn't die from the evil curse you mentioned."

"A month ago, she committed suicide at school."

"The police said it was due to her own psychological problems, but I investigated for half a month after her death and confirmed that five people had been bullying her for a long time. The day before Xiaoliang passed away, they were still bullying and swearing at her."

"I regret that I'm not a competent father because I didn't notice her abnormality before that day."

"Even I'm not a competent avenger. Of the five people who bullied her, I only found the opportunity to kill two. The remaining three were killed by the cursed spirits you mentioned while they were escaping."

"What a shame! As an incompetent father, I can't even help Xiaoliang get revenge myself..."

"Kid, if you can't just kill me."

"Please at least help me get the death penalty."

Volume 1: Chapter 14: Level 1 Curse Spirit?!

It's very strange. Survival is the instinct of all life, but why does he want to end his own life?

From a sensory point of view, Emiya actually always believed that if someone took someone else's life for no reason, he should bear the price no matter what.

This price should not be reduced by age differences, and the concept that the law cannot apply to the masses is even more nonsense.
