Their voices faded into the dark sewers, and soon, from the depths of darkness, a beast-like roar echoed. A pair of scarlet eyes opened from the darkness.

Section 277, Chapter Fifteen: The Dirty Game

"Next, I'm going to ask you some questions."

"You can answer honestly or deliberately mislead, or if you wish, you can remain silent and pretend to be a tough guy."

"But no matter what you decide, in the end, I will get the answer I want from you."

"This is not a threat, nor is it meant to be mysterious. I am simply stating a fact to you."

In a filthy interrogation room, Kiritsugu Emiya closed the door and turned off the lights. In the darkness, only desperate screams of agony could be heard, rising and falling in waves, accompanied by the stench of blood, which no one could smell.

Finally, Kiritsugu Emiya, with a calm expression, and his followers emerged from the darkness, changed out of their blood-covered clothes, and walked out of the dark corridor.

"It's now confirmed that it was Saburo Watanabe of the City Protection Management Bureau who let these attackers in."

In the internal communications of Group Six, Kiritsugu Emiya released the following message.

"What's going on? Are there insiders involved in this?"

Li Cheng asked, somewhat shocked.

"If I'm not mistaken, this matter is likely to be much more complicated."

According to headquarters' orders, Team Six should currently be participating in a high-level meeting of the Supernatural Abilities Bureau, where the higher-ups will assign tasks to fully participate in the Hound Organization's counterattack. However, through Akai Akira's manipulation, the members of Team Six pretended that communications had failed and that they had not received orders from headquarters, and subsequently began their own independent operation.

There must be a traitor within headquarters; the Sixth Group, a powerful fighting force, must not be exposed.

Kiritsugu Emiya used this as a reason to persuade Akira Akai to help the Sixth Group cover their movements.

Meanwhile, the sixth group, which had already taken action, had split into several batches and begun its investigation and tracking.

After Kiritsugu Emiya finished interrogating the participants in the attack, based on the information he obtained, Lee Seung-yu took action on the other side.

Breaking into the residence and disrupting the security cameras, they easily located the obese man who was embracing two young girls and indulging in pleasure. After confirming that he was indeed Watanabe Saburo, the two men ruthlessly knocked him unconscious and took him away. The two girls were then drugged with a magic gem given to them by Rin. They then staged the scene to look like an attack by "Hound" and quickly fled the place.

Almost simultaneously, Rin, having found a safe location in the abandoned city, completed the construction of her Magic Workshop, transforming the unassuming, dilapidated villa into an impregnable fortress. Rin was certain that unless it was a bizarre, level-insensitive ability like Touma Kamijou's, even an A-rank powerhouse would find it difficult to quickly breach her Magic Workshop.

About ten minutes after she set up the workshop, Li Chengyu, who was already paralyzed with fear, along with Emiya Kiritsugu and his followers, all gathered around.

At this moment, Touma Kamijou was sitting in the library with a somewhat depressed expression.

"Um, Kamijou-kun, there's really no need to be upset, is there? We didn't say we were just asking you to stand by, it wasn't that we were refusing to let you participate in this mission, did we?"

Rinko looked at Touma Kamijou with some concern and leaned closer to him, whispering words of comfort.

"Ah, I know that too."

As Touma Kamijou spoke, he rubbed his hair with some displeasure.

However, this feeling of being excluded makes it impossible to be happy no matter what.

In Touma's mind, he recalled the attack he had suffered that morning.

There were three people in total, all fully armed, attacking him with firearms. This tactic offered Kamijou Touma, who could only gain an advantage in battles against superhumans and magicians, almost no chance of resistance.

If it weren't for Rinko, who had always seemed like just an ordinary girl, suddenly displaying an unbelievable ability to intercept all the bullets and defeat the attackers, Touma Kamijou might have become the first casualty since the establishment of Team Six.

However, compared to the fact that Suzuko Yuriko is a genius student at the Tokyo Superpower Academy, possessing top-tier A-rank superpower abilities and hailed as the strongest in the academy, the series of horrific and brutal attacks that occurred that morning were the real source of Touma Kamijou's unease.

How could they do such a thing? These scumbags actually launched a bomb attack on children in an amusement park.

The thought of the voice that appeared in that declaration video, and the so-called future belonging to espers and magicians, filled Touma Kamijou with indescribable anger.

In any case, their atrocities must be stopped from continuing.

Thinking about this, Touma Kamijou could no longer bear to look at the paper on supernatural abilities in his hands.

"Kamijo-kun's expression is very resolute. It seems he has made up his mind, hasn't he?"

Lingke watched Kamijou Touma's expression intently. After seeing him put down his book, he chuckled softly and shook his head helplessly.

"Yes, although I am weak, I really can't just stand by and do nothing about this. My initial reason for joining the action group was to prevent similar things from happening."

Clenching his fist, Touma Kamijou took a deep breath and then stood up.

"Then, let me help you. After all, it might be a bit difficult for you to do it all by yourself, Kamijou-kun."

Lingke also stood up with a smile and took a step closer to Kamijou Touma.

"Is that so? Thank you very much."

Although he really didn't want Suzuko to get involved, considering that Suzuko's fighting ability was far superior to his own, and that Suzuko had saved his life not long ago, Touma Kamijou finally accepted Suzuko's help.

"Okay, let's go then. No matter what, we must stop those terrorists from continuing their attacks."

"Yes, I will help Kamijou-kun, but there's one more thing you shouldn't forget before that, okay?"

"Huh, what's up?"

"Please put the borrowed books back in their proper places before leaving the library, Kamijou-kun."

what?

Touma Kamijou then realized that, in his emotional state, he had forgotten to put the book he had taken out back on the bookshelf.

"I'm so sorry!"

All ambition turned into embarrassment at this moment.

As Touma Kamijou made up his mind to join this mission, he returned to the Sixth Group's hidden base in the abandoned city. Amidst the pervasive stench of blood, Kiritsugu Emiya lit a cigarette and slowly took a drag. Not far from him, Rin, unusually, didn't bother to stop him from smoking. Instead, she coldly stared at the city defense bureau official in the center of the room, who was already tortured to the point of near death.

"In other words, this so-called 'Hound' organization was created by your Bureau from the very beginning, with the aim of curbing the growth of the Superpower Bureau and ensuring that both sides can be on equal footing."

Rubbing his temples, Kiritsugu Emiya, feeling a bit of a headache, sighed softly. He lowered his right hand and then raised it again, holding back for a long time before finally refraining from immediately drawing his gun to shoot the fat man in front of him.

Because the Bureau of Superpowers decided to attack the forces that destroyed the port, they sensed that the political forces within the Bureau of Superpowers were emerging. In order to avoid being in a disadvantageous position, they rallied a group of radicals to sabotage the Bureau of Superpowers' operations, kill its best members, and at the same time bribe the media to smear the Bureau of Superpowers.

"Isn't doing this a perfectly normal thing to do?"

The weakened Watanabe Saburo gritted his teeth and roared in pain.

The political forces affiliated with the Supernatural Abilities Bureau and the Administration Bureau are two different political parties. In other words, both sides will spare no effort in ruthlessly eliminating their opponent.

"Is your definition of 'normal' about massacring civilians?"

Li Cheng delivered a merciless punch to Watanabe Saburo's stomach, causing him to scream and cough up blood. Even so, he continued to howl and roar:

"That was just a mistake. We originally only planned to have them assassinate the Sixth Group and cause some minor disturbances. I didn't expect them to go this far. It's not my fault!"

boom!

A gunshot rang out, ending both Watanabe Saburo's screams and his head. The powerful old-fashioned pistol, modified by magic, blasted Watanabe Saburo's head into a pile of fragments at close range, splattering blood and foam all over Li Cheng and Emiya Kiritsugu, who were closest to him.

"What is now certain is that the 'Hound' organization was established at the behest of the Bureau's higher-ups and has been secretly sabotaging the Bureau's operations."

Kiritsugu Emiya put away his pistol and said in a cold voice.

"Although this organization is now out of control and has escaped the Bureau's control, it is certain that many people in the Bureau's upper echelons are aware of information about those guys."

"Next, I will lead the believers and Tohsaka. We will infiltrate the city to gather intelligence on the Bureau's higher-ups. Jun, and the team leader, I'll ask you to head to the abandoned port. It's now certain that it's their lair. You, with the strongest frontal combat capabilities, will be responsible for finding and eliminating their members. We will provide intelligence from the rear."

As Kiritsugu Emiya laid out his plans, the members of Team Six began their operation once again and quickly left the small house.

Inside the small house, only the headless body of Watanabe Saburo remained, bound to a chair in the center of the room, with blood slowly covering the already filthy floor.

The last person to leave the room, Kiritsugu Emiya, stopped at the doorway and looked back into the room at the slowly cooling corpse.

"Balance? So-called politics?"

In a voice so low that only he could hear it, Kiritsugu Emiya slowly murmured to himself.

"Hmph, what a dirty game."

Bang!

The door slammed shut, and after a loud thud, dust settled, and the dark room returned to a deathly silence.

Chapter 16, Section 278: A 17-Year-Old Girl Appears (Seriously)

In the pitch-black world, Li Cheng touched the invisible barrier in front of him.

Zi didn't come out from inside today either.

Ever since her encounter with the mysterious blonde girl yesterday, Zi has been confined to the gap, a space separated by the power of realms. Li Cheng's comprehension of realm power was far from sufficient, so naturally he had no way to break through this barrier.

What's this? Are you autistic?

Li Cheng was a little confused.

Going to ask Huo didn't yield any useful information. The other party only said that someone had come outside the barrier, but refused to provide any information about that person. In fact, under Li Cheng's repeated questioning, they became angry and used their transcendent power to drive Li Cheng out of the dilapidated shrine.

So what exactly happened to Zi? Why did she suddenly become withdrawn?

Li Cheng sighed, unable to come to a conclusion after thinking for a long time. In the end, he had no choice but to give up temporarily and focus on the things he needed to do now.

Abandoned port.

The air was terrible, mixed with dust and all sorts of foul smells; the roads were dilapidated, and the ruins were collapsed and twisted. And in this wasteland gathered all sorts of vicious and ruthless people.

For various reasons, those who cannot survive in normal human society are forced to struggle for survival in this desolate land, adhering to the law of the jungle.

That's precisely why this place is so dangerous. Those who can struggle to survive in this area are inevitably bloodthirsty madmen.

Only those high-ranking officials who have never personally experienced such a place would have the audacity to decide to gather a group of radical and twisted madmen here as capital to fight against the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities.

"A bunch of idiots."

In the end, Li Cheng could only use these words to describe that group of people.
