Chapter 920: Have Evil Followers Appeared Again?

"More than fifty people disappeared in one day?"

The second generation frowned deeply as he watched the news broadcast on TV. The wrinkles gathered together to form an image of the Chinese character Sichuan.

"Did any evil followers appear again this time?"

The existence of the Servant itself has the characteristic of "soul-eating", and it is possible to attack ordinary people. However, if the Servant eats the soul, it is actually not bad, and there is a possibility of letting these people go.

What's worse is that a master accidentally summons a notorious monster from myths and legends with a bad habit of eating people. Then the fate of these missing people will definitely not be much better.

And they kidnapped more than fifty people in one day. Who knows how many people will die in each other's mouths when the Holy Grail War is over.

"Is there no movement at the church?"

The Second Emperor pondered, with a somewhat puzzling look on his face.

The church is the supervisor of the Holy Grail War. If something like this happens, it should come forward to mediate. After all, this kind of thing has almost broken the hidden and mysterious rules that the other world has adhered to until now. It will be impossible not to come forward.

However, according to the familiar's surveillance over there, the church was completely silent, let alone mediating, and there was not even the slightest reaction.

"Master, what will happen to those missing people?"

Gray looked at the second son, looked at the red numbers on the TV, couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and asked him.

"...During the last Holy Grail War, there were cases where children disappeared."

When the second son said this, he couldn't help but pause slightly, and an ugly look appeared on his face, as if he had eaten an expired can.

"As a result, most of those children were tortured and killed by a mentally abnormal servant."

He still remembers the scene he saw in the sewers of Fuyuki City.

Short stumps were everywhere, internal organs were scattered messily on the ground, and the blood flowed out, forming several pools of blood of different sizes. There were even half-grown children nailed to the rack, with stab wounds and blood stains everywhere on their bodies. .

The scene was so captivating that it made people feel chilled just by looking at it. At that time, he was still immature and couldn't help but vomited on the spot.

"Torturing and killing...!"

Gray's breathing was stagnant, and she felt dizzy in her mind. For a moment, her heart became extremely heavy.

Will that kind of tragedy happen again in this Holy Grail War?

"No matter what, there is no reason to sit idly by and ignore this crooked way!"

The Second Emperor spoke decisively: "Whether it is from a personal or magic point of view, this kind of turmoil must be resolved as soon as possible, and we cannot let the other party continue to act recklessly!"

"In a moment, Rider and I will go out to investigate this disappearance case. I'll leave it to you, Lucia and Gray, to monitor the other servants."

Rider's mobility is very strong,

You can visit Fuyuki City in one day with Nisei, but you can't stop monitoring other masters and slaves. Anyway, they have a lot of combat power here, so it's not a bad idea to divide the troops into two groups.

Liu Xia also had no intention of actively helping to investigate the disappearance case.

If Nisei or Gray are in trouble, he can still help. Others? I don’t know, it has nothing to do with me.

After breakfast, Nisei and Rider went out and headed into the city.

…………

In Shenshan Town, the shopping street is used as the dividing line. The south is a Western-style residential area, while the north is a Japanese-style residential area.

The so-called Japanese-style residential area naturally refers to a Japanese-style courtyard, with multiple buildings as the center, and the addition of gravel, grass, water bowls, etc., giving people a garden-like sense of stability and a Zen feel.

In the center of this residential area, there is a large and spacious Japanese-style courtyard. The owner's surname - "Emiya" is written on the door plate in front of the door.

early morning.

Shirou Emiya woke up alone in the warehouse and saw the dilapidated walls and old machines in the warehouse.

The morning sunlight shines in through the cracks in the door and windows, occasionally accompanied by the chirping of birds.

The school girl who usually came to his house to help with housework did not show up at his house today.

In fact, he had not seen her since yesterday morning. After school last night, he also visited Matou's house, which had become a ruin.

However, according to the police, no deceased was found in the rubble, and a family of three, including the school girl, disappeared without a trace.

"Where did it go..."

The young man muttered in a daze, then stood up from the ground and moved his stiff body.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell at the entrance suddenly rang. Emiya Shirou was stunned for a moment, then opened the warehouse door and walked towards the atrium.

Standing at the entrance of the main courtyard was an old man whom Shirou Emiya had once met. He was wearing a dark-colored kimono. He was short and hunchbacked. The hair on his head had long since fallen out, and he still had a cane in his hand.

"I remember you are...Sakura's grandfather?"

Emiya Shirou suddenly became energetic, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes, "It's great that you are still alive. Then are Sakura and Shinji also——?"

"Hmph, the young man from the Emiya family is worried about me, and the old man is really getting better and better."

The bald old man seemed to be in a bad mood and snorted coldly, "Of course Sakura and Shinji are still alive, but I don't know how long they can survive."

"Eh?"

Emiya Shirou was slightly startled, with a look of astonishment on his face, "What... does this mean?"

"Rations."

Matō Zōyan grinned and sneered with a leaky mouth, "Of course you can't survive if you don't have enough food, right?"

"That's right."

Emiya Shirou breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around, intending to bring out some quick food.

"If you don't dislike it, Matou's grandfather and Sakura and the others can all come to live in my house. The food will be completely sufficient."

Because he had been worried all day and had just received the good news, Emiya Shirou's heartstrings relaxed a little, and he did not notice the strange look on the old man's face.

"That's perfect."

Matou Zangyan looked at Shirou Emiya's back, the smile on his face gradually widened, and a cold murderous intent appeared in his slender eyes.

“However, as for the rations, I’ll let the old man pick them up myself——”

“Buzz——!”

The next moment, a large number of insects emerged from behind him, vibrating their wings, and attacked Emiya Shirou's back.

"Don't blame me."

Matou Zangyan sneered: "After all, the monster's appetite is astonishing, and the magician's soul can fill her stomach even more. If you don't do this, both Sakura and Shinji will be eaten by her. As a friend, you should also I don’t want to see that scene.”

"Are you kidding!?"

The moment he was attacked by the bug, Emiya Shirou reacted, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.

He had no idea what the other party was talking about, but at least he knew that he was now facing a life-threatening crisis.

Facing the onslaught of bugs, he ran towards the warehouse without even thinking, hoping that the closed warehouse could block the bugs' attack.

Before he noticed it, three scarlet scarlet marks appeared on the back of his hand.
