Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Whether it's investigating the battles taking place or finding a way out of this place.

Emiya Shirou remained invisible.

However, even under these circumstances, these people were still able to find him and quickly set up an ambush to surround him.

That's right, Lan Bao wasn't the only one who came.

The invisibility of being possessed by evil spirits not only makes one transparent and difficult to detect with the naked eye, but also conceals one's aura.

So much so that Esdeath had difficulty noticing the demon possessing her while she was in stealth mode.

Esdeath will only lock onto a user who shows murderous intent or hostility towards her.

However, the evil spirits had no way to hide their own heat.

Emiya Shirou is unfamiliar with some of the technological methods of investigation.

Under the scrutiny of the thermal imager, Shirou Emiya's figure had nowhere to hide.

With proper modifications, the ability to conceal heat when possessed by evil spirits can be achieved.

Even if the demonic possession can conceal their own heat, they still have other ways to find Shirou Emiya.

Even when possessed by evil spirits, one cannot ignore the existence of radar.

Lan Bao was able to fight against Shirou Emiya while wearing a thermal imager.

However, she was unwilling to wear such equipment and chose to change the ammunition in her shotgun so that it could generate flames that adhered to Shirou Emiya's armor.

Emiya Shirou simply sighed softly. His figure materialized out of thin air.

He did not choose to dodge, partly because such an attack could not break through the demon's defenses, and partly because Emiya Shirou wanted to communicate with the person in front of him who seemed to be from an official organization.

This is not in an empire, a world where technology has gone astray; the world is still largely in the Middle Ages, and information transmission is not well-developed.

If he were wanted by them, Shirou Emiya would basically not be able to move around within the Empire as easily as he could in the Empire, simply by changing his appearance.

In this information age, Shirou Emiya had no doubt that the authorities would send a large number of people to arrest him.

Although he posed no threat to himself, Shirou Emiya did not want to cause chaos in the world.

I don't want to live a life of hiding and running away.

Moreover, Shirou Emiya had already realized that there were a large number of assault troops around him with their guns pointed at him.

So Shirou Emiya did something that infuriated Lan Bao.

With everyone on high alert, Shirou Emiya slowly raised his hands, and his armor, along with the flames, vanished in an instant.

He chose to surrender.

Emiya Shirou did not want to engage in this pointless battle.

Moreover, Shirou Emiya also has ways to protect himself, so even if the negotiations fail, he can leave.

"?"

Lan Bao looked at Emiya Shirou, who had raised his hands in surrender, and her brows furrowed tightly. She couldn't understand what Emiya Shirou meant by this.

Although she was indeed very angry, she had been looking forward to finally being able to participate in the battle, but Shirou Emiya chose to surrender without saying a word.

She can flip a large truck with her bare hands, and dodging bullets is an extremely simple thing for her.

Lan Bao did not believe he was weaker than a boy who was only around fifteen years old.

However, as a teacher, she also thinks carefully about many things, whether it's about the students or other aspects.

When Lan Bao saw Emiya Shirou disappear into thin air on the surveillance footage, he immediately deduced that the armor he was wearing had the ability to make him invisible.

This also explains why Shirou Emiya was able to infiltrate the school, and even the area in the very center of the school where the new students of the Assault Department were being assessed.

However, under normal circumstances, terrorist organizations or hostile organizations that infiltrate would choose to infiltrate a location like the archives room, rather than coming to the field of the assault department's freshman assessment.

Going to this place is pointless.

This was the first place that Lan Bao found strange.

However, she didn't continue to think about it in detail. Such thinking should be about the detective department, not her own affairs. It's just that as a teacher, she has a very comprehensive ability and seems to have a wide range of knowledge.

However, she still chose the most aggressive solution: just shoot.

Once we catch Emiya Shirou, we'll know everything!

However, what Lanbao did not expect was that Shirou Emiya would surrender without any resistance.

This unpretentious and utterly sincere surrender is nothing like someone who came to steal information or an assassin.

"Hey! I said, what's your name!"

Lan Bao handcuffed Shirou Emiya's hands and personally led him to the interrogation room, sitting down in front of him.

This is a society that respects human rights. Unless absolutely necessary, they will not torture Shirou Emiya like the Empire would.

"Emiya Shirou——"

Emiya Shirou responded in a deep voice, cooperating fully. Although he didn't know how to persuade them, he would just take it one step at a time.

In short, the worst-case scenario is that I'll be wanted by the police.

This was the first time he had ever been in an interrogation room in his entire life.

Emiya Shirou had seen the interrogation room before, but only on television.

"Emiya Shirou?"

Japanese names

Lan Bao stroked his chin, wondering if he had ever heard this name before.

Emiya Shirou's answer was very sincere; at least the teachers from the various departments sitting outside didn't notice that Emiya Shirou was lying.

"address--"

"Fuyuki City"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? There's no Fuyuki City here."

"Will you cooperate properly?"

Lan Bao picked at his ear and banged hard on the table in front of Shirou Emiya, completely disbelieving Shirou Emiya's words.

“But I really am from Fuyuki City.”

Emiya Shirou nodded sincerely. He was not good at lying, let alone in front of these professionals. Emiya Shirou had never hidden anything from the beginning.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the back-and-forth between Lan Bao and Shirou Emiya.

"Have you found any useful information?"

Lan Bao walked out of the interrogation room with a displeased look and asked the people outside.

"We found no information about Emiya Shirou, Fuyuki City, or Homurahara Academy."

“We also collected his blood and hair and compared his DNA with the database, but unfortunately, the DNA of no one whose information was entered could match his.”

"He appeared out of thin air; there is absolutely no information about him in the world."

One message after another made Lan Bao somewhat irritable.

After working on it for so long, I haven't found anything.

"Does the Superpower Investigation Division have anyone who can directly confirm his identity?"

"Students with superpowers like being able to directly access memories are basically not in school."

The teacher who was being questioned answered Lan Bao's question.

After all, the ability to search a person's memory is an absolute weapon in interrogating criminals.

No matter how secretive the prisoner is, it's useless.

However, people with such superpowers rarely have the opportunity to appear in schools. They spend most of their time outside, interacting with government officials to interrogate criminals.

And to obtain some classified intelligence.

The government will naturally keep such people under its control, rather than placing them in a high school.

"Tch—!"

Lan Bao once again let out an extremely displeased sound.

If we don't use torture on Shirou Emiya, we might really have no way to get any useful information out of him.

"However, the Supernatural Ability Investigation and Research Department does have a shrine maiden who can perform divination; perhaps she can divine something."

"Who?"

"The Shrine Maiden of Hoshiga Shrine—Hoshiga Shirayuki"

Chapter 382: Military Intelligence

Tokyo Butei High School—that's the name of the school where Shirou Emiya currently attends.

This is a special education institution located on an artificial island.

The abandoned rooftop where Shirou Emiya was located wasn't so high that it allowed him to see through the island's skyscrapers and realize he was on an island.

This artificial island is generally referred to as Academy Island, since the entire island was developed around the Armed Detective High School.

The high school known as Armed Detective High School is very different from the normal high schools that Emiya Shirou is familiar with.

Its main purpose was to train armed reconnaissance personnel.

Armed detective refers to an internationally recognized type of detective, established to combat increasingly vicious criminals and crimes.

A person holding a police armed investigation license is equivalent to a police officer, who can carry weapons and has the power of arrest in order to maintain social peace.

It sounds like something very appealing: maintaining social peace and becoming a partner in justice.

Emiya Shirou nodded thoughtfully.

The interrogation continued until the student named Hoshiga Shirayuki arrived.

They genuinely had no way of knowing whether Shirou Emiya was lying or not.
