I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

However, this situation is inherently unscientific, especially the man who can single-handedly overpower that kind of monster; it's as if he is the monster himself.

"Looks like we have to tell the boss the plan has failed. We can only hope that the last step will succeed. Hmph, at least for now, the overall situation is still in our hands."

The inability to harvest the sixth group was a possibility that had been anticipated. At the time, he was somewhat skeptical, but now it seems that this group is indeed something special, and we still need to be careful.

At that moment, the man suddenly noticed a figure slowly materializing from thin air, stumbling and running up from behind.

Ah, so it was the one who was in charge of assassinating the only two B-level members of Group Six. Looks like he failed too.

"What, did the mission fail?"

Seemingly having thought of something funny, the man's expression turned playful as he asked the other person.

"It was going to be a success, but the other two were so useless that they couldn't hold on for long."

The assassin stopped panting as he ran up to the man, his face still showing signs of lingering fear. There were two or three small cuts on his face, which looked like they were made by a dagger.

"Oh, is that so? Then, who cut your face?"

The man wore an inscrutable smile as he stared at the other person's face and continued speaking.

"Who knows? Anyway, those two women are incredibly fierce. I couldn't handle them even in a one-on-one fight. Luckily, my ability is invisibility, which is good for escaping."

"Hmph, you really think you've escaped, you idiot."

"Huh? Hey hey hey—"

There was no need for further conversation. The man simply snorted coldly and disappeared around the street corner. Only the assassin, his eyes growing increasingly vacant, lay on the ground, groaning, as black lines gradually spread across his face.

The follower, who was the culmination of Hassan's various power systems, opened his eyes at this moment and confirmed that his spell had completely eliminated the fleeing assassin.

From then on, all the "Hounds" members who attacked Group Six were wiped out.

Chapter 21, Section 283: Discoveries on the Other Side

"If I'm not mistaken, these guys have been tracking us for a long time. Among the people we arrested and interrogated, there are very likely some they deliberately released."

After cleaning up the scene and disposing of all the bodies, in a secluded hut, Kiritsugu Emiya explained the situation to the members of Team Six.

“And these guys are no ordinary people,” Li Cheng added from the side. “Emiya, you know, that red monster, we’ve already seen him once in the labyrinth.”

Without a doubt, this time the opponent has the same background as the group that attacked Li Cheng in the Huaxia Alliance last time. At least behind those three "hound" leaders, there are definitely similar people manipulating something.

A bunch of persistent ghosts.

Li Cheng silently recited it in his heart.

If the previous situation could be simply viewed as this terrorist organization being quite powerful and unusual, then the current discovery undoubtedly makes things many times more complicated.

"No matter what, we have to deal with these troublemakers now. Even if these bastards are backed by some powerful figure, we won't lose. After all, we even beat the strongest A-rank guy."

Rin seemed unexpectedly excited and belligerent. Of course, this could also be because the attack today caused her to use up a lot of precious gems, thus entering a state of extreme excitement. In any case, regardless of whether the so-called "Hound" organization can be eliminated in the end, Rin will have to live the life of an ascetic for a long time to come.

Fortunately, neither martial arts cultivation nor the power of the Purple Realm requires the use of gems or similar precious items as a medium or tool. Li Cheng felt genuinely relieved.

"However, regardless of what's behind the 'Hound' organization, at least as far as the organization itself is concerned, it should have been almost completely wiped out, right?"

After all, the "Hounds" members of the abandoned port had been completely eliminated by the efficient work of Group Six. Now, the enemy could only muster three A-level assassins to attack Group Six, and they even used the red behemoth to deal with Li Cheng. The enemy's remaining forces are likely insufficient, and they probably don't have many people left.

However, this is just optimistic speculation.

"The existence of the fact that there was a direct route from the abandoned port to the abandoned urban areas outside the Special Administrative Region proves that they had already prepared for the next attack."

Kiritsugu Emiya concluded with a solemn statement.

"If I'm not mistaken, the 'Hounds' still have at least one strong team they haven't deployed yet, a team capable of carrying out the next attack. If I'm not mistaken, this time we might have a chance to find one of those three leaders."

However, if you've done everything you can to search but still can't find your opponent, then finding the hidden enemy is a crucial question.

Could there be other hidden locations in the abandoned port? Could the team he predicted be lying in ambush in the abandoned city? And are there any hidden enemies inside the special zone city?

This is quite troublesome. They haven't been able to find a way to deal with their opponent immediately, while the other side could launch another attack at any time.

The initiative is not in the hands of Group Six.

Kiritsugu Emiya closed his eyes, pondering his next move. Li Cheng and Rin offered suggestions from time to time, but they were of little use. Shiki, as always, remained by his side with his eyes closed, showing no interest in participating in the discussion. The followers stood guard outside.

Unable to come up with a good idea after a long time, Kiritsugu Emiya decided to have everyone continue their investigation separately as before, while he would submit today's report to Akira Akai. But at that moment, Li Cheng's cell phone suddenly rang. He was slightly startled, took the phone out of his pocket, and looked at the number.

"Kamijo?"

Li Cheng's voice sounded somewhat puzzled.

……

"There are actually places like this...?"

Touma Kamijou, covered in sweat, walked cautiously along the edge of a construction site.

Due to the high intensity of the battle and the lengthy duration of the operation, Group Six did not include Touma Kamijou in this mission. In the eyes of Kiritsugu Emiya and the others, although Touma had undergone special training under Li Cheng and had consistently maintained his physical fitness, his ability to neutralize magical abilities was still somewhat insufficient in a battlefield of this level.

However, this reason could not stop him from participating in the event. On that day of disaster, he had witnessed those tragic scenes firsthand, and it was impossible for him to pretend that he had not seen them.

Unconvinced, Kamijou began his own investigation.

That's what they say, but he definitely couldn't find out anything by himself. You have to understand that Touma Kamijou's daily life is just that of an ordinary person; he doesn't have any special expertise in investigation, and he might even be stumped by some simple puzzle games.

Therefore, the actual investigation was carried out by a silver-haired girl he had recently met, who ostensibly assisted but actually led the investigation.

Yuriko Suzuko, the top student at the Tokyo Superpower Academy, is known as a terrifying genius with a brain computing ability far surpassing that of a supercomputer. Even the usually oblivious Touma Kamijou couldn't help but gasp after witnessing her terrifying abilities firsthand.

Through monitoring and analysis, the sixth group roughly deduced the movement trajectory of "Hound" on the day of the operation, but because the other party's counter-reconnaissance capabilities were also quite good, their counter-intelligence process has not been particularly effective so far.

However, this girl named Rinko, with her unparalleled calculation abilities and the assistance of her special ability, managed to calculate the enemy's movement path. After simulating over a million possibilities, calculating and eliminating possibilities, and conducting actual tests, and after spending many days, she and Touma Kamijou found a very inconspicuous little apartment building.

At this very moment, they were inside the apartment building, slowly climbing down a straight wooden ladder through a large hole in the floor of one of the small rooms.

"This feeling of being unable to see the bottom is just like the abyss in a horror movie."

Kamijou Touma stared at the bottom of the pitch-black cave, his expression somewhat horrified.

Above Touma, Rinko appeared somewhat nervous and uncomfortable. The reason was simple: she was wearing a white miniskirt, and this downward climbing posture undoubtedly exposed her panties.

She hadn't realized this at all when she saw Touma Kamijou climb down the ladder first. It wasn't until she had been climbing down for a while that she suddenly noticed and immediately felt uncomfortable.

If, if Kamijou-kun suddenly looked up, I...

However, Touma Kamijou's attention was completely drawn to the pit below, and he didn't look up at Suzuko above even once.

I don't know why, but I had a strange feeling that was both relieved and slightly disappointed.

Rinko sighed softly, then heard Touma Kamijou below whisper, "We've arrived," followed by a slightly surprised and flustered voice:

"Ring, Ringo, your chubby, chubby—"

Oh dear, so it was still seen after all!

A moment later, Touma Kamijou, with a bright red handprint on his left cheek, and Suzuko, with a rosy complexion, stealthily made their way into the dimly lit tunnel.

Standing before the iron gate next to a dim yellow light bulb, Rinko reached out and placed her hand on the rusty door. After closing her eyes and concentrating for a moment, she released her hand, turned to Touma Kamijou, and said, "Nobody's here." Then, she lightly touched the doorknob, and with a crisp click of the door opening, the two entered the small room.

"It stinks..."

Ling Ke frowned immediately upon entering, and then unhesitatingly sealed off his sense of smell.

Kamijou Touma also showed a somewhat disgusted expression, but he still tried his best to endure it. He turned on the flashlight he had prepared in advance and quickly noticed that a large pit had been dug in the corner of the small space. He could see some incongruous yellowish-brown things around the edge of the pit.

"Kamijo-kun, could you please not shine a flashlight on that kind of thing?"

The pale-faced Suzuko reached out and grabbed the flashlight from Touma Kamijou's hand, directing the light in another direction.

In that place, the two discovered even more.

"Beds, and these shelves, this must be a temporary living area."

Kamijou Touma glanced at the dozen or so bedding scattered haphazardly in the corner and muttered to himself.

“I heard that during World War III, there were frequent air raids, so some families would dig tunnels to avoid danger,” Suzuko said, recalling the history she had learned before. “When New Tokyo was being built, although the old city was basically abandoned, there were still some transitional areas. This place may have been a site from World War III.”

"War relics, huh?" Touma Kamijou sighed. "They were places where ordinary people struggled to survive during wartime, but now they've become dens of villains. How despicable!"

The horrific scenes I had witnessed a few days ago flashed through my mind again: the screaming wounded, and the bloodied dead, some whose bodies were no longer intact...

Kamijou Touma involuntarily clenched his fists.

"Kamijo-kun, there's another path here."

Beside this cave, Ling Ke's voice pulled him back to reality.

Is there anything there?

As he asked, Touma rushed over and found a smaller room with several wooden crates inside. They seemed to have originally contained something, but now they were all empty.

"Could it be a weapons case?"

Kamijou Touma is using his imagination.

"I don't know, maybe it's possible."

Ling Ke spoke solemnly, then suddenly his expression changed, and he looked up at the tunnel.

"Someone's here. Something seems... off?"

What?

Before Touma Kamijou could react to what Suzuko was saying, a violent tremor suddenly came from above. The next moment, with Suzuko's panicked cry, the cave collapsed.

With a deafening roar, the world was plunged into darkness.

hum-

He heard a chirping sound coming from inside his ears, and after a long while, Touma Kamijou finally heard himself coughing because he had inhaled too much dust.

"Cough cough! Cough cough—"

My head hurts so much, and my body feels sore and numb, but I guess I'm still alive. Was I saved by Rinko?

"Kamijo-kun!"
