The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 218: The chicken feet are finally exposed
As we all know, shady dealings and illegal operations are essential elements of the Holy Grail War.

Do you think everyone is like an honest person, playing according to the rules?

That doesn't exist.

In the normal world line, the Einzbern family has been illegally summoning Angora Mainyu since the Third Holy Grail War, resulting in the contamination of the Greater Holy Grail.

In other world lines, there is also a situation where the entire Holy Grail was snatched away by the magician Danic. The Thousand Worlds Family founded by Danic directly occupied all seven Master positions, resulting in the Thousand Worlds Family having seven servants. This kind of combat power is more than enough to sweep the Magic Association.

If the Clock Tower had not utilized the special mechanism of the Greater Holy Grail system to summon seven servants from the other camp and start the Holy Grail War, they would have been swept away by the Thousand Worlds Tree Family.

Therefore, Emiya felt that it would be unreasonable if there were no shady characters in this Holy Grail War. Even in the HF line of Fate Stay Night, there is the active appearance of Mushi-sama, who is on the list of must-eat villains in the Holy Grail War.

He thought about it and thought, could it be that Wang Jiang who died suddenly right after he appeared on the stage? Although it was a bit strange to control a certain group of people with the sound of the clapper, this guy died too quickly.

Moreover, Emiya always feels that this Holy Grail War, which has lasted from its beginning to now, seems to be missing something?
King general, clone, masked man...oh, Odin!

"Has there been another accident?"

After a busy whole day, Yuan Zhisheng sat down in his office chair and closed his eyes to rest for three hours. When he opened his eyes the next day, he saw a mountain of news, which instantly made him frown.

On the personal computer in front of him, reports of "unnatural deaths" collected by the super AI "Kaguya-hime" continued to pop up. The "accidental" deaths of the people that followed were like bloody rain with a fishy smell hitting the face, just like the dark and heavy rain clouds outside the window and the downpour that was occasionally split by thunder.

"A tanker truck explosion caused by a rear-end collision occurred in Bunkyo Ward, killing more than 100 people in the local neighborhood..."

"In Shinjuku, a long-tube trailer carrying compressed hydrogen suddenly turned sharply and crashed into a shopping mall. The explosion caused more than 300 pedestrians to die on the spot..."

"Under the influence of continuous heavy rain, a large-scale landslide and mud-rock flow occurred on Mt. Takao in Hachioji City, which has caused the destruction of a large number of nearby houses and the death of many people. The specific casualties are still being counted..."

Yuan Zhisheng sat upright, his slender fingers operating the mouse wheel up and down. Accidents like this actually happen every day.

More than 2,000 people die in traffic accidents in this island country every year. If other accidents such as drowning, falling from heights, and fire are included, the annual death toll will be around 20,000 to 30,000.

However, judging from the continuous collection and compilation of Kaguya-sama in recent days, the number of people has soared dozens of times in just three days, far exceeding that of previous years.

Explosions caused by traffic accidents, landslides and mud-rock flows, earthquake disasters, strange shipwrecks of some ships out at sea, in addition to miscellaneous accidents such as construction site accidents, objects thrown from high places, fires in residential buildings, etc., complex, chaotic and varied... have woven a tight and terrifying web of death that shrouds this island country.

The words "the coming of a myth" that Emiya once said flashed through Gen Chisei's mind for who knows how many times... God, the pace of destroying everything is getting closer and faster. After Eri's judgment was taken away, it seemed as if she had transformed into an irresistible fate of death in God's hands.

...I have to say, it is really ironic that in such a terrifying and depressing environment, even the natural gas company that was pushed out to take the blame in the "Shinjuku Incident" a while ago has received much less negative public opinion.

After all, worse times are coming. In comparison, people would rather go back to the previous day - at least in the Shinjuku incident, only the people of Shinjuku were unlucky, and other places were basically safe, right?

The cell phone on the desk suddenly rang.

"Hello? Crow?"

Yuan Zhisheng answered the phone, and subconsciously wanted to pick up a cup of coffee from his hand, but then he found that the cup was already empty. Usually at this time, Yabuki Sakura would come over tacitly and pour him the ground black coffee.

But now, Sakura had already been sent by him to take care of Eri, so he had to do some things himself.

Yuan Zhisheng stood up, his eyes wandering, and began to look for the coffee machine that he had never paid attention to before. Suddenly, the next sentence from the crow on the phone made him freeze in his place, "What, there are rumors about Eri in the family?"

"Yes, the rumor is quite convincing. It says that the bloodline of the head of the Uesugi family got out of control and ran wild accidentally," Crow lowered his voice into the microphone. "The accidents in recent days are actually false stories created by the family to cover up the murder of the head of the Uesugi family."

"..."

Gen Chisei suddenly laughed out of anger. Not to mention that the news of Eri's departure was strictly confidential, Emiya and his father would not tell anyone. Even if the family had the organizational ability and energy to quickly cover up abnormal accidents across the country, then...

How did Eri manage to appear in so many places at the same time and commit crimes?

But those who spread rumors and pass on rumors don’t care about you. As long as the rumors are about the "adults above", they will spread quickly among the mouths of the people below. As for why Eri can appear in many places at the same time?
Anyway, most of them had never seen Eri's performance when she took action. After all, she was the Tsukuyomi of the family. It didn't seem strange that Tsukuyomi could do such a thing? "Crow, pass the message to me..."

Gen Chisei paused. He would never announce the news of where Eri was traveling abroad, even if this was the quickest way to dispel the rumors.

The current situation is that someone has learned a secret that should not be made public.

Those people must know that Eri's Word Spirit Judgment has the power to bring death, and the characteristic of these accidents is that a large number of people died on the spot. Once Eri has the opportunity to publicly demonstrate her ability, she will immediately be regarded as a suspect.

However, these people seem to be unaware of the information that Eri has become an ordinary person and boarded a plane to leave the island country, and they think that Eri has gone berserk under the control of God. If they knew the truth, they should not act on their own.

Gen Chisei remembered the "Aoiya Daiho" that Kitajima Shino had confessed before, and his brows suddenly relaxed.

The true colors of this group of "black guys" have finally been revealed.

"... Crow, don't make it public for now. Investigate secretly who spread the news in the first place. You can discuss it with the head of the Fuma family. His ninja troops are good at this kind of thing."

Yuan Zhisheng walked to the coffee machine and the voice in the microphone continued to sound.

"I understand, headmaster... there is one more thing, Kazama Ruri of the Demon Clan... has woken up."

"Got it. I'll be there right away." Yuan Zhisheng looked at the coffee machine, put down the teacup, and sighed softly.

It seems that I won’t be able to drink the coffee I brewed myself today.

The classics that Lord Wa arranged to be airlifted arrived early the next morning. The efficiency was simply amazing.

Emiya moved the entire box of parcels into her room, and after tearing open the package, she saw a label on the top with a few lines of beautiful handwriting written by her herself.

As mentioned above, these books are not originals, but expedited photocopies, which only cost some paper and are not worth much money at all, so you just need to keep them well and not pass them on to others, and you don't have to return them later.

Wei Gong took off the label and took out the classics again. In addition to the "Huangting Sutra" which contained basic theories, there were also a large number of Taoist classics such as "Yunji Qijian", "Zhen Gao", "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" and other various ancient scriptures.

Many of them are rare copies that have been lost in modern times. When Wazhu said that these were "not worth much", he was being modest.

You know, even though some ancient books are still best-sellers in modern times, their original versions may have long disappeared in the long river of history.

For example, the famous Tao Te Ching has multiple versions, including Wang Bi's popular version, Mawangdui silk manuscripts A and B, and the Chu bamboo slips unearthed in Guodian. And these are not the original 5,000-word content written by Laozi at the invitation of Yin Xi.

"...Hiss, you sent so many books here to test my quantum wave reading speed?"

Emiya immediately started to read the books. In fact, he was not an academic genius who pondered over words, but the type who was more accustomed to doing things with his hands. These books only helped him to look up information and answer questions.

So Emiya first skimmed through the books to understand the general idea of the articles, and then began to explore the methods of practicing the inherent barrier in combination with the concept of "concentrating inner thoughts" explained in them.

"The so-called meditation is to concentrate the mind and thoughts, and the objects include the sun, moon, stars, mountains and other external images inside and outside the body, so that the internal mental images correspond to the structure of the outside world."

Emiya picked out some sentences and soon understood the essence of the cultivation theory in these books, which pointed him in the right direction.

Using the real world (external scene) as a template, create an "inner scene" or "mental image" structure for your inner self.

In other words, before making a product, you must first determine the structure and design of the thing. Conceptualizing something out of thin air is definitely the slowest process, so the way to speed up the process is to directly draw materials from reality...

Having found the trick, Emiya felt relieved.

Little did they know that the process of constructing the inherent barrier was becoming more and more like the Nibelungen.
