With a long sigh, the young man spoke in a tone that was both heavy and relieved.
"By the way, how are Ling and Kuan doing?"
As if suddenly remembering something, the young man asked with concern.
"Ling's leg injury is serious, so there shouldn't be any major problems. But Kuan is probably in trouble. His injury is too severe, and he won't be able to recover his fighting ability for a while."
This time, the old man's voice was no longer as steady as it had been at the beginning, and there was a hint of worry in it.
“…Then let Kuan get some rest,” the young man, who was also clearly downcast, sighed. “Our current strength is enough.”
A mechanical voice sounded, followed by an announcement that the pilot had calmly resolved the malfunction and the plane was ready to take off at any time. Immediately afterward, Touma heard the sound of a young man getting up.
"Let's set off for the Experimentation Department. It's time for us to fulfill our long-cherished wish."
The young man announced loudly.
The testing facility... is that where they're headed? Wait, the planes are almost taking off, why haven't they stormed in yet? Could it be that a very powerful enemy is blocking their way?
"After listening for so long, if you've been paying attention, you should have written down some useful things, right?"
With a deep, muffled sound, Touma Kamijou turned around and saw Bane standing behind him.
"You? When was that?"
With a reflexive leap, Touma Kamijou rolled to the side to escape, avoiding Bane's attack.
"Although we were only apart for a few hours, it seems that the progress is still very obvious."
Turning around and locking the door behind him, Bane calmly watched Touma Kamijou get up from the ground, stretched his arms, and walked over.
Tsk, I definitely can't defeat this bear-like man by myself. I need to think of a way, I need to think of a way quickly.
Standing up, Touma Kamijou turned and ran without hesitation, escaping into the back of the shelf.
"Are they trying to run away?"
As he spoke, Bane walked slowly forward, unhurriedly following Touma Kamijou ahead, not as if he were driving away an outsider, but rather as if he were taking a stroll.
Pushing over a shelf to block the other person's path, Touma Kamijou took a few steps back, pondering what to do next.
The opponent is a martial artist who wins by relying on physical strength and fighting skills, not by relying on superpowers or magic. In other words, he is the type that is least compatible with me and suppresses me the most. He is the kind of opponent who is so bad that even if I use Starburst Damage and Merlin, I can't take him down with a triple red buff. So, if I want to win, I must rely on external forces.
Let me think... Oh right, Tohsaka-senpai gave me something!
Take out a small bag wrapped in thick cloth from his pocket. Touma Kamijou didn't dare touch it with his right hand, but instead placed it on a cardboard box next to him and used his left hand to unwrap the outer layer of cloth.
Meanwhile, Bain easily lifted the shelf with one hand and was already walking towards him.
Hopefully this will be helpful.
Take out a colorless, transparent diamond wrapped in cloth, grab it with his left hand, and then throw it directly to the ground.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the plane, in the open ground, the battle had completely changed.
The few remaining men in black were still firing their guns, and they were exchanging fire with Kiritsugu Emiya and Rin Tohsaka. For some reason, Wuming's reinforcements had not arrived, and communication was also unavailable, so they had to fight on their own.
Meanwhile, Li Chenghe and Liang Shiqi were locked in a fierce battle with Cheng Yan. In the midst of their rapid fighting, the ground was trampled into pieces, and every now and then a muffled burst of air would be heard, followed by a figure flying backward, then quickly getting up and going to meet the enemy again.
"No way, we can't get through. Are these guys crazy? They're fighting like this, risking their lives."
"I knocked out a black-clad man who had run out of ammunition with a single punch," Rin Tohsaka said, her forehead covered in sweat.
"Then just kill them."
Kiritsugu Emiya spoke coldly and ruthlessly, firing a grenade that blasted away a large number of men in black.
The sound of the plane's engines starting rang out, indicating that they had cleared the malfunction and were ready for takeoff. Kiritsugu Emiya anxiously fired at the plane, but unexpectedly, another shield appeared, blocking the bullets; they had even prepared a backup magical shield.
Oh no, are they going to escape?
"Wait, Emiya-senpai, is Kamijou on the plane?"
Rin suddenly spoke up and asked.
"According to what the team leader said earlier, he did indeed sneak in from the other side without me noticing," Kiritsugu Emiya said, recalling the incident after blowing the head off a black-clad man who approached him.
"That's good. Heh heh, it's time for me to show my skills." Rin's expression suddenly turned smug.
"what happened?"
“I placed a gem on Kamijou that was made based on my sister’s magical properties,” Rin chanted softly, creating another shield to replace the one that had become dim from being hit by too many bullets. “Through that gem, I can perform a ‘transformation’ and send someone directly to the location of the gem.”
"So you mean you can get one of us directly onto that plane?"
"That's right!"
"Alright," Kiritsugu Emiya said, throwing a flashbang and covering the enemy in blinding light. "Send Li Cheng up there; he's best suited for a frontal assault!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, the three who had just finished fighting stopped and confronted each other.
The two of them have attacked so many times in a row, yet this guy doesn't seem to be tired at all...
Li Cheng was slightly out of breath, and Shi, standing beside him, also showed signs of fatigue. However, Cheng Yan, who was standing opposite him, did not show much change from beginning to end; he didn't even sweat much.
"No wonder he can be called the number one below the transcendent. I've really seen it for myself. There really is such an invincible monster..."
Wiping the blood and sweat from his brow, Li Cheng looked at Cheng Yan, who remained calm and unmoved, and couldn't help but say resentfully.
“Indeed, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a formidable opponent,” Shi said, staring intently at his opponent and gripping the dagger tightly. “But that’s precisely why it’s so worthwhile to kill him.”
The premise is that you have to be able to kill him, but the current situation is that even if the two of us attack together, we can't hurt him.
"Senior Li, come here quickly!"
Rin's voice rang out at that moment, accompanied by her rapidly approaching figure.
Cheng Yan turned his head and looked at Lin, who was rushing over. For some reason, although the other party did not seem to have much fighting power, he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
He took a step forward, intending to stop the two from getting closer, but a cold light suddenly flashed past him, and Ryougi Shiki's icy face appeared in front of him.
"Tohsaka? What's wrong?"
On the other side, Li Cheng looked at Lin with some confusion as she ran up to him and grabbed his shoulder.
"This is no time for nonsense!" Seeing the plane already activated and slowly taking off, Rin Tohsaka, without bothering with explanations, immediately began chanting, "Imaginary number conversion, displacement activation, charge! Senpai-kun!!"
"Oh dear, what's going on?!"
The scene before him was swallowed by darkness in an instant, and the next moment, Li Cheng suddenly appeared in a small storage room, looking at Touma Kamijou, who was covered in sweat.
On the ground amidst the firelight, Rin Tohsaka, letting out a long breath, looked at the gem in her hand slowly turning to dust, and couldn't help but show a hint of heartache.

Section 81, Chapter Sixteen: The Scar Opened by the Knife Tip
Where is this place...?
Feeling the ground tremble beneath his feet, Li Cheng looked up and met Touma's gaze.
"Ah, hello Senior Li Cheng."
Hmm, they're quite polite; they know to greet you when you meet.
Wait a minute, now's not the time to worry about this kind of thing!
"So this is your trump card?" A steady yet peculiar male voice came from behind Li Cheng. "You've brought in your senior for help?"
Li Cheng turned around, then looked up at the incredibly tall and strong man in front of him. The man wore a mask covering half his face and only a vest, revealing arms as thick as Li Cheng's head. He stood calmly in front of him, neither attacking nor retreating.
"Senior, he is Bane."
Touma Kamijou's voice rang out beside him.
"They're clearly not easy to deal with."
Li Cheng warily guarded against any possible attacks, watching his opponent's movements. Unexpectedly, Bain raised his hands and took two steps back.
"No, gentlemen, I am actually quite easy to deal with."
"Hey?"
"Hey?"
“Just like I said, I’m very easy to deal with,” Bain stepped back a few paces and stood to one side of the aisle, making way for you. “You can completely ignore me and go straight in to snatch your little girl back.”
What is this guy up to?
“Don’t be confused. I’m just an employee who does things for money. Sometimes the boss makes such demands, and I can’t disobey him.” A strange light seemed to flash in his eyes as Bain spoke slowly. “However, there are no surveillance cameras in this storage room, so I can be knocked down by you and then let you go in to rescue people. That’s what I mean.”
"Oh, really?"
Kamijou Touma, who was clearly an honest man, began to waver and began to believe the other party's words, completely forgetting that he had been brutally raped by the other party just a few hours earlier.
Is that really your goal?
Li Cheng didn't immediately believe it. The chilling aura that the other party possessed, which could only be found on the battlefield, made him seem like a merciful person. In his opinion, what the other party had just said was more like a set of excuses made up on the spot.
"At least this is to your advantage, isn't it?" Bain's tone remained unchanged. "Mr. Li, you are clearly exhausted, and your juniors are not strong enough and obviously useless. Besides, this isn't the ground, it's an airplane. I think you've considered the consequences of fighting in a place like this, haven't you? So, will you trust me, Mr. Li?"
"whispering sound!"
This guy, despite his size, isn't stupid.
"It seems we've reached an agreement."
Seeing Li Cheng's wavering expression, Bain seemed to have confirmed something and took a step forward. Li Cheng immediately stepped forward and punched him in the face. Bain immediately fell to the ground, "unconscious," his movements even more precise than an old man faking an accident.
"Let's go, Touma, it's time to rescue them!"
"Huh? Yes, senior!"
Hearing the receding footsteps of Li Cheng and Kamijou Touma, Bane opened his eyes, staring in the direction they had gone, his eyes filled with contemplation. He silently sat up from the ground, motionless, lost in the darkness, only his eyes remaining bright, as if a storm was brewing within them.
"Oh!"
Li Cheng kicked open the thin sliding door and walked into the brightly lit main cabin of the aircraft, where he met the gaze of the young man sitting inside.
