"what--"
"Ahh-!"
Until now, it still keeps making those strange unconscious noises.
Emiya looked at its wound, where bright red blood was still slowly pouring out, and various internal organs crowded together were exposed.
Although it may seem strange to say this, it is indeed much more refined than the physical condition of an ordinary cursed spirit.
Just as he was about to do something, a ray of light suddenly came in from the corner of the building, and Emiya noticed the surprisingly reflective spots on the monster.
It was an exquisite watch, and the second hand was still turning faithfully.
It remained intact on the monster's twisted limbs.
"......"
Emiya had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure yet.
On the other side, Yotsuya Miko was very worried when she found Emiya entering the abandoned building, but she didn't dare to chase him in.
Because she knew that she could not help much and would only cause trouble if she went in, so she could only wait outside.
But the sounds of fighting only stopped after the initial ones.
Yotsuya Miko waited for a while, and finally could not suppress the worry in her heart, so she cautiously looked towards the direction of the building. Just as she turned the corner, she saw what was happening on the first floor.
Emiya was half-crouching in front of a monster, looking like he was confirming something.
After confirming that the battle was over, Yotsuya Miko hurried over there.
"What happened, Emiya-san?"
She noticed that Emiya seemed very serious.
"Jianzi, this monster... seems to be human."
"Eh??"
Human...human?
Yotsuya Miko subconsciously glanced at the monster not far away. It was still alive, constantly making meaningless roars.
The twisted body and bloody wounds made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She suppressed these feelings and observed it, but still could not figure out how this monster was related to humans.
That's right, this monster no longer looks like a human being, but Emiya can still clearly see its identity.
It was precisely because of this that Emiya felt unusually angry.
It is absolutely impossible for a person to turn into such a cursed monster for no reason.
Not to mention that he was attracted here by the filth that was deliberately left there?
What kind of evil person could do such a thing?
Even if it was a malicious provocation, they actually dragged ordinary people into it...
Emiya was furious, but also rational enough, because he knew that since the other party had lured him here and hadn't shown up directly, it would be almost impossible for him to find him again.
He immediately called Yidizhi, wondering if there was anyone at the High School who could help restore it to its original state.
Emiya knew that this hope was slim, but he couldn't give up easily.
Ten minutes later, Ijichi arrived with several assistant supervisors. After a thorough inspection, they took the monsters away and brought Emiya and the other two to the nearest base.
The monster that looked like a human was transported to the high school for inspection. After a few dozen minutes, a communication from the high school reached Emiya.
"It's human."
As soon as Emiya answered the phone, before he could even ask any questions, he heard the clear female voice on the other end giving him the answer he cared about most.
"No, it would be more accurate to say they were originally human, but their bodies were forcibly transformed into this form by a curse."
As expected...
Even though he had already guessed it in his mind, after getting such an answer, Emiya still subconsciously clenched his fists.
But being angry is useless.
"If he was originally human, why is he filled with cursed energy like a cursed spirit?"
If not, Emiya should have noticed something was wrong the moment he came into contact with the other person.
"The only thing we can do now is to ask the criminal what this technique is."
"However, there are signs of tampering near the brainstem. I'm afraid it was intended to cause a loss of consciousness and a state of confusion."
"If even the brain can be modified, perhaps ordinary people can also be transformed to use cursed energy. After all, the relationship between the brain and cursed energy is still full of mysteries."
The voice over there had already answered accurately.
Cursed power is not a product that is completely independent of the body. After all, even the techniques are related to bloodline inheritance. It's just that humans have not yet been able to study that brain-related level.
"His brain has been altered, does that mean he's dead... Is there no way to save him?"
Compared to the others, this was what Emiya expected.
"Unfortunately, we currently don't have any techniques that can penetrate the human body to this extent."
"Before he arrived at the High Commissioner's office, he was already dead... It had nothing to do with the injuries you inflicted, but rather death from shock caused by the transformation."
"The body has been violently transformed into this state by the technique. Even if the brainstem is specifically affected, the human body cannot withstand such a brutal transformation... It's like the destruction of an original ecosystem, which will lead to the extinction of most organisms within it. The same is true for humans."
The human body has undergone countless years of evolution to reach perfection in its complex structure. How can we find innovation by just tinkering with it?
"Does this mean that the moment he was transformed by the technique, he was sentenced to death?"
"That's more or less correct. This body is like glass that's been shattered and then melted back into shape. It's a hundred times harder to put back together than a broken mirror."
"......"
Emiya could no longer contain the anger in his heart.
What does the guy who created all this think of human life?
Volume 1: Chapter 37: The number of victories is about 27
If the malice of ordinary cursed spirits towards humans is just an instinct of life, then the situation this time is probably even worse.
Judging from the fact that it deliberately led Emiya to a deserted corner to show off its 'achievements', if it really was a cursed spirit, its intelligence would definitely not be lower than that of humans.
It is obvious that a first-level curse spirit only has an extraordinary learning ability, so the curse spirit that controls all this behind the scenes should be a special-level one, right?
Just as the Curse Master launched a sneak attack, this almost demonstrative incident happened right after...
Are you in the same group?
But if humans and cursed spirits reach a cooperation, is it possible for such a thing to happen?
But let’s not talk about the real mastermind behind this.
The doctor from the college said that the essence of this procedure is about human body modification, so the real victims are definitely more than just the one they saw.
The wanton destruction and transformation of human bodies not only takes their lives without hesitation, but also brings endless pain before that.
Such a bad behavior, no matter whether it is a curse caster or a cursed spirit, Emiya will never let that guy go.
Will those who treat human lives as experimental materials restrain their behavior for other reasons?
Obviously, this is impossible.
Every day we let that guy go, there will be countless more victims.
"Mr. Ijichi... have you found any information regarding this type of technique?"
Emiya looked at the assistant supervisor Ijichi who had been staying in the room.
Even though the appearance has been changed with the help of technology, the spell is the inherent characteristic of the curse caster and even the cursed spirit that cannot be corrected no matter what.
As long as the technique has appeared before, the academy will be able to find traces of it. After all, it is an official organization.
"I haven't found any similar spells in the data, or even anything with similar effects... So I can basically conclude that the murderer is a newly promoted curse caster."
"As for the cursed spirit... According to Mr. Emiya, he can even lure you to the scene and then escape in advance. Calling him a cursed spirit is a bit too much..."
The reason why Yidizhi came to this conclusion was very simple, because there had never been any phenomenon indicating that the cursed spirits had such a level of intelligence.
It is true that high-level cursed spirits have powerful learning abilities, but their violent nature and great individual differences indicate that they will never be able to evolve into a social civilization similar to that of humans.
It would probably be difficult to make some sorcerers believe out of thin air that there would be curse spirits that would consider various influences and strategies like humans.
"No...it's more likely to be a cursed spirit."
Emiya suddenly retorted.
"If the murderer is human, then transforming a completely unrelated person into this state with just the first awakening of the technique... is this something a human being could truly do?"
Emiya was not clear about the habits of the so-called cursed spirits, but both intuitively and cognitively, he thought that the murderer of this incident would be a cursed spirit, and he hoped that it would be a cursed spirit.
Ichichi knew he shouldn't argue at this point, so he tried to say, "It's impossible to come to a conclusion just by guessing, so we should try to find and capture the murderer as quickly as possible."
Anyone who sees their own kind become like this would probably not feel very good.
"Then let's go, Mr. Ijichi."
Emiya stood up from the sofa and walked to the entrance with firm steps.
"what?"
"It's just that words alone don't allow us to draw conclusions... If that guy really is a cursed spirit, as long as we carry out the task of exorcising it to the end, we will eventually be able to catch it."
"No matter how big this city is, there's a limit to the number of cursed spirits, right?"
A monster can lurk for a long time beneath a murky pool of water, but what if the water were drained?
Even a tiny fish fry would not be able to escape under such circumstances.
"But, this is too much..."
Unbelievable?
Is it really a good idea to use the dumbest yet most practical method of elimination to find the real culprit when it comes to exorcising cursed spirits?
Reason told Yidizhi that this was simply impossible to achieve, but there was another voice in his heart that kept saying: What if he could really do it?
After all, Emiya has already decided to do this, and as an assistant supervisor, he has no reason to refuse.
Don't forget, Emiya already has several commissions from first-level cursed spirits on his shoulders.
Without any hesitation, Emiya directly confirmed the location of the next commission and rushed there with Ijichi.
With Emiya gone, Yotsuya Miko naturally had no reason to stay. But before leaving, she took note of Ijichi's contact information.
Then, twelve days passed in a flash.
In order to facilitate his mission of exorcising the cursed spirit, Emiya directly requested to stay in the high school temporarily so that he would not have to worry about his daily life.
In fact, on the first night, Gojo Satoru had already returned from the general management department after seeking justice.
The General Headquarters did not directly acknowledge any actions related to the Curse Master, but they still gave Emiya a series of compensation at Gojo Satoru's request in the name of being unfavorable to the commissioned investigation.
But after returning from the general directorate that day, Gojo Satoru looked very bad, as if he had learned something bad.
Emiya knew he didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask.
Then, the next day, that guy returned to his cheerful self and rushed around to take on commissions to exorcise cursed spirits.
However, during the process of exorcising the cursed spirit, Emiya discovered that the so-called first-level cursed spirit no longer posed any threat to him.
He originally thought that the strength of a first-level cursed spirit was similar to that of a servant, but after gradually mastering the cursed power in his body, the true strength of the cursed spirits was exposed.
They are only similar to Servants in terms of physical strength, but the reason why Heroic Spirits are Heroic Spirits is because they are first qualified to become such beings, and then they finally ascend to the throne of Heroic Spirits.
Consciousness, skills, strategies, cursed spirits have no such things.
Even with the existence of the technique, it is only comparable to a Noble Phantasm, and is still far from being a true Servant.
After mastering the cursed power and being able to use it properly in battle, Emiya's efficiency in exorcising cursed spirits is about 30% to 70%.
For the entire twelve days, Emiya spent almost all of his time in the process of exorcising the cursed spirit.
The time spent in battle was almost negligible, as most of the time was spent on traveling and finding those guys. Therefore, the efficiency was not very high, and on average, only two cursed spirits could be exorcised per day.
During the twelve days, Emiya exorcised a total of 27 first-level cursed spirits in Kyoto.
