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

In the dead of night, on the outskirts of the city, amidst ruins that should have been a place of tranquility, there was an extremely noisy din that rang out continuously.

"Team leader, he went towards the old shopping mall street!"

"Li Cheng, go to the right block and stop him, quick!"

"Blow up the load-bearing points of that building, and he won't dare to wander around without a protective barrier!"

Explosions, roars, destruction, shattering. On the shattered road, an extremely tense battle of encirclement and killing was unfolding. A man, dressed in tattered clothes and covered in wounds, was fleeing in a sorry state, while behind him, a man and two women were flanking him from different directions.

Those who can achieve an A-level rating are, after all, quite strong. After losing an arm, Araya still managed to escape from the apartment building and began his escape in the abandoned old town.

In the complex and vast ruins of the old city, Kiritsugu Emiya, whose physical mobility was limited, was naturally unable to provide remote support to his teammates with sniping. So he simply deployed a drone to monitor the enemy's escape route and continuously provided guidance to the group through communication.

This is bad, this is really bad.

Dodging a magic bullet fired from a distance, Araya Sōren flipped and jumped into a window of a building. The wall beside him shattered instantly, and Li Cheng rushed out, attacking him directly. After a difficult exchange, he jumped down from a window on the other side of the building, only to be met by the cold-faced Ryougi Shiki.

As a team, it must be admitted that these people cooperated quite well. But precisely because of this, he, as the prey being surrounded and hunted, felt increasingly uneasy.

Slamming through an already crumbling wall, Araya Sōren escaped into an empty room. The next moment, a dense surge of magical energy emanated from above. He instinctively rolled away, and the ground he had been standing on immediately collapsed in half.

"Don't even think about running!"

Rin Tohsaka, dressed in red, fell directly down through the hole in the ceiling, holding a blue gem in her left hand and quickly casting a spell.

"Even if it means going bankrupt, I'm going to bring you back today!"

It was a technique that would steal sight—no, it was a technique that would directly burn the eyeballs; the only option was to defend! Knowing he couldn't dodge, Araya Sōren could only stop and prepare to defend himself with his own magic. But precisely because he had to stop, the other two, even more powerful individuals, would soon catch up.

Is this the unspoken understanding between you two...?

The next moment, with a loud shout, the gem in Rin Tohsaka's hand exploded, instantly unleashing an extremely powerful magical energy wave. Then, a fierce and scorching light burst forth, covering both Araya Sōren, who immediately put up a defense, and Li Cheng and Ryougi Shiki, who happened to catch up from behind at that moment and had no time to dodge.

"Holy crap, that's so bright, I'm going blind! What's going on? I'm on the same side!"

"Tsk, what are you doing, Tohsaka!!"

To retract the foreword, sometimes there are still problems with the coordination of this group.

Taking advantage of Rin Tohsaka's high-energy flash that blinded Ryougi Shiki, Sōren Araya withdrew his defenses and quickly fled, soon widening the distance between himself and the others.

Take this opportunity to escape this area...

"Don't even think about running!"

Like a raging bull, Li Cheng smashed his way out of the building. Araya Sōren, who had no time to dodge, was sent flying, crashing into a roadside car overgrown with weeds, sending it rolling forward for over ten meters before coming to a stop.

"Damn it, that idiot Tohsaka, he can't even open his eyes..."

Rubbing his swollen, tear-filled eyes, Li Cheng barely managed to open them. He vaguely saw a figure getting up from the ground and fleeing into a dilapidated building nearby.

Staggering, he followed and rushed into the house. Without the moonlight outside, his vision suddenly became dim. Coupled with the severe damage to his eyes already caused by friendly forces, Li Cheng felt as if he had gone blind.

“承, the right side.”

At the crucial moment, it was Kiritsugu Emiya who sent the message.

Without a doubt about the accuracy of the instructions, Li Cheng walked to the right without hesitation. Soon, he heard faint footsteps and immediately confirmed the other party's location. Li Cheng rushed forward, smashed through the wall between the two, grabbed the staggering Huang Ye, and the two rolled to the ground together.

Unable to see clearly, Li Cheng could only cling tightly to his opponent, but the opponent immediately kicked Li Cheng away, sending him spinning wildly as he struggled to his feet. At that moment, Rin Tohsaka, who had caught up, quickly began treating his eyes.

Araya Sōren staggered and fled into the depths of the building.

No, this can't go on. Whether these three cooperate well or poorly, it won't be easy for me to escape in my current state. There's no way I can escape successfully like this.

We have to think of a way, we absolutely must think of a way.

Araya Sōren continued forward, his expressionless face masking a rapidly thinking mind.

Ah, right, why didn't I think of that before?

Araya Sōren suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction from which she had initially escaped—the original apartment building.

His chance of survival didn't lie in these ruined buildings, nor in dealing with these three people. On the contrary, the place he initially escaped from was his only guarantee of survival.

He changed direction and rushed back to the apartment building he had escaped from.

Meanwhile, inside the apartment building, on the floor strewn with rubble, Touma Kamijou, still dazed and confused from the fall, had just gotten up and was looking around at the large group of gruesome-looking black-haired beasts lying dead.

Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya, who had been monitoring the enemy's movements via drone, frowned and looked at the direction Araya Sōren was heading with some confusion.

"Oh no!" He suddenly realized what the other party was planning and quickly reconnected the communication. "Go back quickly, back to the apartment building! He's planning to take Kamijou hostage!"

While shouting for the other three team members to return quickly, Kiritsugu Emiya struggled to his feet, picked up the sniper rifle lying to the side, and attempted to snipe the enemy before they returned to the apartment.

However, his movements were slower due to his physical limitations. By the time he saw the situation on the other side through the scope, Araya Sōren had already appeared in front of the apartment door and slipped inside.

Inside the apartment, Touma Kamijou, supporting himself against the wall, was slowly walking downstairs.

Suddenly, Kiritsugu Emiya's communication went live, but before he could hear what the other person was saying, a figure leaped up from downstairs. Sensing danger, Touma instinctively dodged backward. Immediately afterward, a foot stomped on the stairwell where he had just been standing, followed by a solid punch landing in Touma's abdomen.

"Ugh!"

For Araya, this was far from a powerful blow; in fact, he had tried his best to hold back in order not to kill Touma Kamijou instantly. However, Touma was still sent flying backward, sliding across the ground for two or three meters before coming to a stop, unable to stand up for a moment.

But since it's nothing serious, that's enough!

Without stopping, Araya Sōren changed his fist into a palm and slashed down, severing the arteries in both of Kamijō's wrists, causing blood to gush out.

He then quickly escaped in another direction. Almost the instant he fled, Li Cheng and Ryougi Shiki caught up with him.

"This guy... Tohsaka, come here! Quickly stop the bleeding for Kamijou!"

The delay was only two or three minutes. By the time Li Cheng and the others chased after them again, they learned that the other party had smashed Emiya Kiritsugu's drone with a rock and then disappeared into the darkness without a trace.

Failing to capture the enemy's most crucial mastermind, and merely eliminating a group of cult members destined to be cannon fodder, the Sixth Group's operation tonight can only be described as a major failure.

"Speaking of that drone, it seems it was borrowed from headquarters. If it gets damaged, they'll deduct money from your salary."

Carrying Kamijou Touma, who had just finished treatment and was pale due to excessive blood loss, Li Cheng looked at the wreckage of the drone that had fallen to the ground and was emitting black smoke not far away, and said thoughtfully.

Rin Tohsaka behind him wore an expression as if the end of the world had arrived.

Section 37, Chapter 15: The Second Move and Tracking

Fortunately, while Rin Tohsaka can be a bit reckless at times, her level of knowledge is quite outstanding. Although direct magical healing is ineffective on Touma Kamijou due to his physical condition, Rin, with her basic understanding of human anatomy, still has the option of brute force suturing.

Although the person involved was not particularly cooperative, the situation was urgent. After using magic to directly create threads and needles to ensure their physical structure was stable, Rin Tohsaka performed a surgical operation on the spot.

Although he was later scolded by the frog-faced old doctor at the hospital, who said that the suturing was completely haphazard, the doctor personally unstitched the needle and demonstrated how to suture properly to Tohsaka. However, at least in terms of actual effect, Tohsaka's bleeding did stop at that time.

Although this doesn't change the fact that someone blinded two of their own teammates with a flashbang, giving the enemy an opportunity to attack.

Although……

It's no use going down there. The most important target of the Sixth Group's operation was Araya Sōren, the actual leader of the "Happy Heaven" organization. However, all their efforts failed to capture him; instead, a newcomer was seriously injured, which hindered the Sixth Group's pursuit.

Incidentally, the cost of the damaged drone was ultimately deducted from Tohsaka's salary.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Cheng now.

"Okay, don't move around, and don't open your eyes. It doesn't feel good to get bubbles in your eyes."

He patted the girl's head and continued washing her hair, gently rubbing it until white bubbles were everywhere.

Yes, that's right. At this moment, Li Cheng and Xi are sitting in the bathroom. tide is sitting on a low stool, while Li Cheng is on a higher stool behind her. Both of them are only wrapped in bath towels. Xi is quietly closing her eyes, only slightly wiggling her little feet, obediently letting Li Cheng wash her hair.

"Girls' hair is really hard to manage..."

He picked up the showerhead, gathered up Xi's long, golden hair, and gently rinsed it. The water droplets made her already shiny hair seem to shimmer, making her look incredibly beautiful, like a princess from a fairy tale. However, Li Cheng could only say that washing long hair was incredibly tiring; he felt his hands were about to break from the soreness.

"Snoring—"

The girl, whose head was being drenched in hot water, made a comfortable sound.

"Alright, you're all washed up. Now let's take a bath."

Patting the girl's smooth back, she immediately cheered, got up barefoot and ran a few steps, then jumped into the bathtub, splashing countless water droplets.

Still so reckless, this kid.

Li Cheng smiled, ignoring the girl who was currently tossing and turning in the bathtub, picked up the showerhead, and began to wash himself.

Men usually take a quick shower unless they're doing something else. So Li Cheng finished showering in no time, dried himself off, told the girl not to stay in the bathtub for too long, then went out of the bathroom, dried his hair, and lay down on the sofa, watching TV like a middle-aged or elderly person.

Not long after, the bathroom door opened, and Xi rushed out naked like a whirlwind, splashing water everywhere. Li Cheng quickly got up and told her to stop, but Xi, in a playful mood, started running around the room. After a lot of effort, Li Cheng finally caught her, wrapped her in a towel, dried her hair with a hairdryer, and helped her change into pajamas. Only then did he relax and lie back on the soaking wet sofa to continue watching TV.

This is probably how fathers and daughters in real life interact. As a straight man, it's normal for Li Cheng to take care of the young Xi with a normal attitude throughout. To be honest, it would be abnormal if there were any disharmonious reactions.

Surprisingly, despite possessing the magical ability to automatically clean herself of dirt, tide unexpectedly developed an interest in taking baths. Especially when soaking in a warm bathtub, she would display an incredibly satisfied and adorable expression.

But it didn't matter. She was happy and willing, so Li Cheng let her be.

After taking a shower, tide, who smelled faintly of shower gel, was wearing a loose purple nightgown. She was hugging her favorite big fox pillow and lying on Li Cheng's lap, watching TV with him.

Occasionally, when she felt the program was boring, she would raise her little hand and tug at Li Cheng's sleeve. Without any verbal communication, Li Cheng would understand and pick up the remote to change the channel.

Sometimes, when Li Cheng saw a good program, he would chuckle softly, and tide would turn around curiously to look at his expression. She never showed any change in expression because of the scenes or events in the program, whether it was funny or heartbreaking. She always watched with a mixture of curiosity and attention, as if she were studying the content of the TV program with a meticulous attitude.

At these times, Li Cheng would stroke Xi's disheveled golden hair while explaining to her why he reacted that way and how he understood what had happened in the program. The girl would listen silently without much reaction, but Li Cheng was certain she was listening intently.

In Li Cheng's view, the more she understands these aspects, the more Yakumo Shio will understand humanity, the closer she will get to humanity, and the more advantageous it will be for her to survive in this world ruled by humans.

Over countless millennia, so many races have existed, some even surpassing humanity. Ancient gods, demons of hell, strange races lurking in the shadows—anyone who dared to obstruct humanity's progress, even if temporarily superior and able to torment humans like ants, ultimately met a fate of being crushed to pieces.

Even the Moon People, whose technology far surpassed that of humans decades ago, gradually fell into decline after more than thirty years of continuous warfare by the army of the Superhuman Alliance, and in the end, they could not escape the fate of destruction.

For this reason, Li Cheng doesn't want tide to become an obstacle to humanity in the future. Her predecessors had seen too many other races perish for trying to hinder humanity. For Li Cheng, he only hopes that Xi can grow up happily and spend her life in peace and happiness; that's enough. Therefore, he will spare no effort in teaching her about humanity, human emotions, and the order of human society.

Ultimately, the more she integrates into human society as a whole, the safer and more stable her life will be.
