Chapter 152 Faking Death but Not Completely Faking Death
The information about the man who kidnapped Miyu is not much, but not too little either.
After all, except for the feelings he expressed when watching Sakutsuki's battle, the man never said a word to Miyu.
But even so, that face and the information leaked in those conversations are enough to make Sakutsuki's inference go further.
The shadow servant in the forest, who calls himself Wuming, refused the protection of the restraining force, as if he saw through the future performance...
As his golden eyes flickered, Sakutsuki had already made a decision in his heart.
His palm was pulled, and he lowered his head. Miyu was looking at him and whispered:
"He said that I hindered you from obtaining the Holy Grail. Berserker also said that because of me, my brother changed the plan overnight..."
No, it's not like that.
Sakutsuki wanted to refute, but Miyu's sudden hug stopped him from speaking.
"Promise me, don't worry about me, okay."
Nestling in Shuoyue's arms, the girl's small prayer sounded, Shuoyue couldn't help but hug her slender body tightly, feeling her trembling because of anxiety and guilt.
"I want to see your victory after going all out, Master."
After a moment of silence, Shuoyue used his arms to lift her up, looked at her, and let her see the confident smile on his face:
"I promise you."
Not as a brother, but as a master, he made a vow to his servant.

After a while
"Are you ready, Miyu?"
"I'm ready." Miyu looked at Sakutsuki standing at the door of the house, a little nervous, "But is this really okay?"
"Yeah? Of course it's okay." Sakutsuki patted the house behind him and smiled, "This house was originally one of the properties secretly purchased by Emiya Kiritsugu, and there is a tanker hidden in it. It's just right to destroy it in one fell swoop, and it can also make Kiritsugu a little upset."
"...That's not what I'm talking about." Miyu pouted dissatisfiedly, "It's you, Onii-chan, you really won't get hurt?"
Sakutsuki was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, brother, I'm not someone who gets hurt so easily. Come on, Miyu!"
"Okay." Miyu was not a person who dragged her feet. Hearing this, she reached out and took out a class card from the card bag tied to her thigh.
The swordsman holding a Western sword stood upright, marking the class of this card.
Class card·Saber
"Install!" As the girl's voice rang out, a familiar and cold breath immediately enveloped her body. When the light curtain of the replacement magic dissipated, Miyu had already changed into a swordsman outfit similar to Altria, and the golden sword in her hand was shining!
"Hurry up, Miyu, such behavior will definitely attract Saber's attention. After all, it's her power that is used." Sakutsuki leaned against the door frame and reminded calmly.
Miyu nodded imperceptibly, raised the holy sword high, and with the infusion of magic power, countless starlights gathered.
"Ex——calibur! (Sword of Promised Victory)"
The starlight stream swept over, destroying the entire house. There was also a fire from something exploding, rushing up to the sky with the rushing light stream, and slowly dissipated after a long time without a sound.
The dream summon was lifted, and Miyu looked at the completely destroyed house and the remaining sacred aura, pursed her lips, and disappeared.
A moment later, a silver car rushed over, swerved in a hurry, and stopped in front of the ruins.
The gull-wing door opened, and the blonde Saber walked out, looking at the scenery in front of them with Irisviel, her expression changed from confusion to disbelief.
"Sure enough, this is the aura of my holy sword! But how could it be..."
"Look here, Saber!" The wife called out, and Saber walked over and saw Irisviel leaning down and picking up a piece of crystal.
"This is a crystal that has been treated with magic, which can reflect images for a period of time. "Irisviel explained and activated the image.
The magic light curtain unfolded, and under the stunned expressions of the two, a petite girl who looked similar to Saber and whose face could not be seen swung the golden holy sword and released a beam of light, engulfing the house in front of her, including a young man with white hair and golden eyes.
"Sakutsuki?!"
Saber and his wife exclaimed in unison, and there seemed to be a flash of young people's playful laughter around them, and then disappeared.
After a while, the crystal fell into the hands of Kiritsugu Emiya. After a brief thought, the magician killer with a cigarette in his mouth made a decision:
"I will give this to the church as evidence and announce to them the "death" of Master Caster. ”

The next morning
Shuo Yue, who was "shot" by the Sword of Promised Victory, opened his eyes in a large cave deep in Mt. Yuanzang.
In the dim cave, a platinum-colored light flowed through his body, which looked extremely strange.
That night, he used the third method to study the system of the Holy Grail War.
"Sure enough, the consciousness of the 'Winter Saint' Justisa has been completely destroyed. After breaking through the 'firewall' set up by the old bug, the entire Holy Grail system is almost visible. "
Winter Saint, Justisa Rizleich von Einzbern.
Two hundred years ago, the head of the Einzbern family, one of the three families that planned the first Holy Grail War, was the Winter Saint who sacrificed herself as a living sacrifice and became the core of the entire Holy Grail system.
Machiri Zorgen, also known as the old bug, built a ritual based on her, in which seven masters and servants fought each other and summoned the Holy Grail, which was the Holy Grail War.
To this day, although Justisa still sits at the center of the Holy Grail system, her personality has long disappeared.
"It's better to say that this is better. If the personality still exists, it will be more creepy." Shuoyue felt the countless spiritual veins hidden under the Enzo Mountain, with a deep look.
After all, in the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family violated the rules and summoned the heroic spirit Angra Mainyu, whose job was Avenger. After the death of Avenger, the soul was recycled into the Greater Holy Grail, and the colorless power of the Greater Holy Grail was polluted into black mud by the Avenger formed by the evil wish.
If Justisa's consciousness still exists, she might have fallen because of this.
"Now I have basically figured out the structure of the Holy Grail system. Although I only know the reasons for many techniques, it is enough for me to pry open this war..." Sakutsuki flipped the cards in his hand thoughtfully, and suddenly laughed.
"But before that, let's clean up the mess of the Holy Church."
Last night, he and Miyu played a play and handed the evidence to the Saber team.
If Emiya Kiritsugu is not stupid, he should take this bait and go to the Holy Church with this evidence to ask for the Command Seal.
In order to show fairness, the Holy Church will definitely pay the reward and announce the news that Sakutsuki is dead. At that time, the participants who relaxed their vigilance because of Sakutsuki's death will be more likely to expose their weaknesses and be defeated one by one.
Of course, this is the crudest method.
"Faking death to escape is really suitable for someone as cunning as me, don't you think, Assassin?"
"I'm very sorry, Master."
A shadow slowly emerged, and the purple-haired Baimao knelt on one knee, his tone a little difficult to say:
"It's just that now, all the participants do not believe your death and have become more vigilant and increased their investigation efforts."
