Chapter 560 The Holy Grail Contamination Preliminary Investigation Team of the Clock Tower

What does it mean that the previous champion was eliminated in this competition?
What does it mean that Father Mapo stole from his own post and is now faking his death to escape?

What does it mean that the Holy Grail was already tainted by the evil of this world during the Third War?
Fuyuki's strongest twin-tailed expression gradually turned blank, while Archer, who had shown up without any explicit orders from his Master, showed a look of astonishment on his face.

His astonishment stemmed not from information he already knew through certain special channels, but from the man before him.

Only when they were at such close range did he truly perceive the special aura emanating from Cheng Tian.

"What? Do you intend to address me respectfully as Minister?"

Upon noticing Red A's expression, Cheng Tian blurted out this sentence.

Red A paused slightly, instinctively wanting to retort with sharp and sarcastic language, but upon closer reflection, calling Cheng Tian "Minister" didn't seem to be a big problem.

"...We are not in the same department."

In the end, Red A found a reasonably plausible excuse and went overboard.

He still didn't want to address Cheng Tian as "Minister".

Judging from their local backgrounds, Cheng Tian and Red A are both employees on the "restraint" side of Type-Moon, but they belong to different departments.

Cheng Tian is a dispatched worker chosen by "Gaia," the embodiment of the planet's will. Combined with the template of Uncle Varian that he was loaded with, he can be regarded as a fantasy species temporarily chosen by the planet itself.

Red A, on the other hand, is a lifelong contract worker belonging to the "Alaya Consciousness," a collective consciousness of primates constructed from the collective unconscious of humanity. He is a human guardian responsible for eliminating threats to the survival of humanity.

The former prioritizes the safety of the planet, while the latter prioritizes the safety of humanity.

"What!? What are you talking about! Archer, are you hiding something from me again!?"

The girl with twin ponytails seemed to wake from a dream, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Cheng Tian and Red A with a strange look.

"Do you want me to spoil the plot for the little girl? To be honest, I really want to spoil it for her. I really want to see her make a face."

Cheng Tian appeared eager to try.

Spoilers are fun, and spoilers are even more fun!

In an instant, Red A's cool expression crumbled, because he had already figured out what Cheng Tian was planning to do.

Then he made a decision that he felt humiliated.

"Minister, Minister..."

Red A managed to utter the word with difficulty.

"very good!"

Cheng Tian nodded with a smile, completely satisfied.

Rin Tohsaka still looked like she couldn't accept it.

"In short, the Holy Grail's wish-granting function was completely corrupted during the Third War. Even if we win the war, the Holy Grail will only grant wishes in a distorted form. For example, if you wish for world peace from the corrupted Holy Grail, it will most likely give you a kitchen knife. You just need to use this kitchen knife to kill everyone in the world to fulfill your wish."

The Holy Grail War is pointless now. I think you could even try contacting the Clock Tower and applying for permission to investigate and bomb the spiritual veins. If you can really destroy the corrupted Holy Grail and spiritual veins, it might be a great achievement and could further secure the Tohsaka family's position as the administrator of Fuyuki City.

You can verify this with this dark-skinned guy; he actually knows more than you think, but he's a total riddle-maker and doesn't want to talk about it. If you're really annoyed, you can use Bajiquan to beat up Emiya.

Cheng Tian, ​​who had somehow smoothly taken over Bazette's explanation, concluded the conversation.

As the twin-tailed girl learned a series of secrets, her questions also multiplied. Her upbringing made her wary of trusting others easily, especially since it involved Kirei Kotomine, who had been her teacher for ten years. However, these secrets, whose veracity couldn't be immediately discerned, were impossible for her to ignore. It was safe to say that she wouldn't need to go to school for a while.

The workload of dealing with the meteorite crater and conducting verification will be overwhelming for her.

Moreover, it seems that Cheng Tian and his group still possess a wealth of information that can help them resolve their doubts...

So when she heard Cheng Tian and the others discussing where to stay temporarily, she mustered up her courage and spoke up again.

"If you have nowhere to go, you can stay at my house for a while. Our Tohsaka mansion is quite large, so it would be nice for me, the land manager of Fuyuki City, to do my part as a host."

The twin tails are trying their best to adopt the elegant demeanor of the Tohsaka family.

Red A wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.

Cheng Tian and his group readily accepted this offer, since they were only staying for a short time and it didn't matter where they stayed; the Tohsaka family's residence, with its own protective barrier, was actually a better place.

However, whether this girl is willing to use the gem to activate the barrier remains to be seen.

And so, the Lili Lili Squad moved into the Tohsaka family mansion in a perfectly legitimate manner.

Fuyuki City was bustling with activity. With Kirei Kotomine abandoning his duties and decisively running away to go into hiding, all the pressure fell on Rin Tohsaka. She even had to take leave to deal with these problems.

Cheng Tian and his group didn't freeload at the Tohsaka residence. Instead, while waiting for Aozaki Touko to contact them, they directly helped by sending the information about the Holy Grail contamination to the Clock Tower.

Yes, Cheng Tian did it too.

The sole objective of this Silver Side Quest is to "kill Kirei Kotomine." However, since it's a relatively familiar location, and Bazett's hometown, Cheng Tian felt he could try to unite available forces to help eliminate some of the more dangerous threats to Bazett.

Cheng Tian had a premonition that if the Silver side quests were completed normally, Bazett would be able to enter and exit the current FHA world relatively freely, just like players returning to their own timelines. If that were the case, it would be very necessary to build a reliable faction here.

Bazett may inevitably continue to be ostracized by the Clock Tower, but if he can climb higher by solving the Black Mud Grail problem, he will definitely gain corresponding benefits and power.

At the very least, his newly established "Hamond Innovation Lab Fuyuki Branch" here should have a relatively reliable backing.

It must be said that the battle with Orochi made Cheng Tian subconsciously much more arrogant, to the point that he developed a path dependency when facing Gilgamesh, believing that he could use the same method to kill Orochi to deal with Gilgamesh.

Of course, although it was eventually resolved, that mouthful of black mud stuck in his throat did help him recover a lot from his arrogant attitude as a "godslayer," and his eyes became much clearer.

Cheng Tian didn't think he could solve the problem of the corrupted Holy Grail on his own, so he simply chose to bring in outside help.

As I always say, let the professionals handle the professional matters.

Since the information was jointly submitted by "Bazett, the designated executor of the seal" and "Rin Tohsaka, the administrator of Fuyuki City," the Clock Tower did indeed take it seriously immediately.

Although it is still in the threat assessment stage, the decision has been made to send investigators, and the list of investigators has been sent to Bazett and Rin Tohsaka in advance, along with a magical investigation order to assist in the investigation.

The list of investigators dispatched by the Clock Tower is as follows:

[Key Investigator: King El-Melloi II]

External technical support: Aozaki Touko

[Church Collaborator: Hier]

...What kind of chaotic list of investigators is this?
Cheng Tian, ​​who facilitated this situation, looked utterly bewildered.
