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

As the gaze moves further inside, you can see Kokutou Mikiya with dark circles under his eyes, holding a computer and operating something. It's unclear whether he's tracking the route Konoe Jin and his group took.

These are all the members present.

Wait, the number of people doesn't seem right?

"Where's Touma Kamijou? Wasn't he swept off the plane with me? Why isn't he here?"

Li Cheng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't assume everyone has superhuman physical abilities like A-level. It's incredible that an ordinary person could survive being thrown from a plane to the ground; he's still in the hospital."

Rin Tohsaka, slumped over the table, answered listlessly.

"What about Wuming?" Li Cheng immediately thought of another person who should have been there. "Why didn't Wuming come? And speaking of which, when we were fighting at the airport, why didn't his backup arrive? If he had been there, that plane wouldn't have been able to take off at all."

It was a perfectly normal question, but after the question was asked, Rin Tohsaka's expression immediately darkened, and the expressions of the other people in the room also turned sour.

Oops, did I ask the wrong question?

"The situation with Wuming is somewhat complicated."

Following behind Li Cheng, Kiritsugu Emiya found a chair, lit a cigarette, and had it snatched away by Ryougi Shiki standing next to him. After a moment of stiffness, he coughed lightly, put away the cigarette, cleared his throat, and began to explain the details to Li Cheng.

"After we took you and Touma Kamijou to the hospital, we immediately found Wuming, but we didn't expect that there was another person next to him."

Let's rewind to shortly after Li Cheng fell from the plane.

Gilgamesh.

The golden king stood atop the lightning rod on the rooftop, gazing disdainfully at the distant horizon, his eyes seemingly piercing through the clouds to see the plane receding into the distance.

Wuming, with a helpless expression, sat on the ground empty-handed, his communicator also placed aside, and watched without moving as Emiya Kiritsugu and his group pushed open the door and came to the roof.

"What a humiliating battle! You call yourselves the most powerful action group in the country, and you've turned it into a farce for me?"

Gilgamesh didn't even want to look at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was walking in downstairs. He just said with a cold face.

“Our operation was indeed hasty and chaotic, and it was ineffective. But what does that have to do with you, Wang, forbidding Wuming from providing us with support? You should know that the reason our operation was so chaotic was precisely because you restricted our most important long-range support.”

Emiya Kiritsugu responded sharply, not even using honorifics like "you," clearly showing no respect whatsoever for the king before him.

"Tch, can't you even understand this simple logic? You... idiot."

With an offended and annoyed expression, Gilgamesh looked at Kiritsugu Emiya as if he were looking at Aqua. However, before he could utter the curse word that had become his catchphrase, he glanced at Nameless, who was still sitting idly by, and changed his mind.

"You should know very well what the root cause of your operation's failure was, right? Don't tell me you can't even figure out something this simple."

"Cheng Yan?"

“Looks like he still has some brains, not hopeless,” Gilgamesh sighed. “Emiya Mumei is now the chief weapons engineer under my Uruk Kingdom. In other words, he can already enjoy a certain degree of Uruk’s modest glory, so…”

His figure vanished like a phantom, and when he reappeared, the golden king was already standing behind Wuming.

"My technicians attacked the first heir of the Huaxia Alliance's 'Sect.' Do you think we need a fourth world war to destroy this already scarred planet before we feel at ease?"

"..."

Oh, really... is that the reason?

Emiya Kiritsugu was speechless.

Indeed, through Wuming's own efforts and with the King's support, he had gained the backing of the King of Uruk and the "Three Kings Alliance," one of the world's top three most powerful forces. This undoubtedly brought many advantages to Wuming and the members of Group Six. However, at this moment, it also forced them to confront a problem that could not be ignored:

That is, as a member of the "Three Kings Alliance," Wuming must not engage in overly violent conflicts with members of other powerful forces.

World War III, which nearly destroyed human history, still leaves its scars everywhere, even though many years have passed. The ruins on the outskirts of Neo-Tokyo are the best testament to this. Although the world is now at peace, forces in the shadows are still stirring, dissatisfied with the outcome of the wars, and the major powers around the world are not truly at peace.

Because a person of extraordinary identity has infiltrated the enemy ranks, must our sensitive figures stay away from the conflict zone?

This is really... a real headache.

Rewinding to the present, in the conference room, Kiritsugu Emiya finished his narration.

"This is troublesome. Wuming's versatile skills and ability to both attack and support are exactly what we need right now. Without his help, it will be quite difficult for the few of us..."

Kurogiri Mikiya sighed and put down his computer.

"Heitong, have you found their location?"

When Kiritsugu Emiya saw that he had stopped, he immediately asked.

“I found it,” Kokutou Kanya said, turning the computer monitor towards everyone and pulling up a map. “However, the results might be even worse.”

The location shown on the map is a small island, and surprisingly, it's a near-shore island quite close to the New Tokyo Special District.

"At this distance, in this location, are they really that close? This should make it much easier for us to find them, so why are you saying it's bad?"

Li Cheng was puzzled.

"Because this place is now a bunker."

Kurogiri Mikiya then pulled up a more detailed map, while continuing his explanation:

"This island was purchased by Tianyi Pharmaceutical a few years ago to serve as a drug research base. Because it is a highly classified facility, it is heavily fortified with firepower. It is guarded by more than 100 experienced mercenaries and is equipped with various detection devices and heavy weapons."

"It doesn't sound too difficult."

Li Cheng said with a cold smile.

"Secondly, the only building on the island, the research building, is a 10-story, fully enclosed building equipped with extremely powerful containment techniques. If activated, even missiles cannot break through it. Moreover, the activation of these techniques is entirely controlled by an independent, off-network intelligent system, which can only be accessed and hacked from the island. I must admit, this system has exceeded the limits of what I can crack."

As Kokutou Mikiya pulled up more detailed information, he continued speaking.

Come to think of it, since it's already their private system, it's definitely not public information. How did you figure out that system exists in just one day, and even confirm that you couldn't hack into it? Kurogiri-kun, what kind of bizarre intelligence network do you have?

“That’s not a problem. I know an expert in this field, and I can ask him for help.”

Unexpectedly, Kiritsugu Emiya spoke up again, saying that none of this was a problem.

"I have many friends."

In response to the doubts in everyone's eyes, Kiritsugu Emiya explained it this way.

“Okay, putting that aside, we still have one last hurdle,” Kokutou Mikiya said, closing his laptop and rubbing his temples to stay alert. “That is the issue of the enemy’s high-level combat strength.”

The atmosphere instantly became somber.

"According to Li Jun's previous description, there is a short A-level and a lean, strong A-level, but both of them are just novices whose physical qualities have reached the A-level level, so they are not too difficult to deal with. There is also an old man named 'Gui Zheng' who is capable of confronting Li Jun head-on, but due to his age, his attention and reaction speed are somewhat lacking, so we will also reduce his threat level. Therefore, I can conclude that the enemy has at least two 'B+' level threats and one 'A-' level threat."

"But if it's only this level, then sending only Ms. Tohsaka and Mr. Emiya, or even just Mr. Emiya alone, could potentially defeat them all. The key lies in one person, Cheng Yan, who is the real key to raising the difficulty of this battle."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, without Cheng Yan, the enemy's operation would have been impossible to succeed this time. Li Cheng alone could have easily defeated them all.

"Currently, among the combat forces available to the sixth group, neither the group leader nor Li Cheng can last more than a few rounds against him in a one-on-one fight. Even when the two of them team up, they can only barely hold him off. As for the others, including myself, we have absolutely no strength to fight him."

Kiritsugu Emiya spoke calmly.

"It's actually that strong..."

Rin Tohsaka, who hadn't had a long direct confrontation with Cheng Yan, said with some surprise.

"In fact, I think that the other side has never really gone all out in any battle so far."

After hesitating for a moment, Kiritsugu Emiya took out the information he had collected over the past few days about Cheng Yan from his pocket.

"As the direct heir within the 'sect,' the first thing we know is that he possesses a 'natural body.' From birth, he was deliberately trained to have A-level physical strength and is naturally immune to magic."

While passing the information to everyone, Kiritsugu Emiya kept talking.

"After fifteen years of arduous training within the sect, he finally emerged from seclusion and began to become active in the world. He continuously challenged other renowned A-level masters and never suffered a defeat. He challenged them for five years in a row, until eventually no one dared to fight him anymore, because he was simply too powerful."

Recalling the brief encounter on the rooftop and the arduous struggle at the airport, Li Cheng had to admit that his opponent was indeed so powerful that he was virtually invincible.

"After failing to find any worthy opponents in the A-level, he even began to challenge those who had surpassed him."

"You're kidding me. No matter how strong he is, he's still in the A-rank category, okay? Challenging a Transcendent?" Rin Tohsaka asked incredulously.

"It's impossible not to actually fight the transcendent; it's just to complete the test set by the transcendent."

Emiya Kiritsugu immediately corrected him.

"What we know so far is that a transcendent from a 'sect' created an enhancement blessing for him, making him stronger and more enduring than other experts of the same level. He then went to the Land of the Dead, completed the trials of the transcendent Queen Scáthach, and received the blessing of the Dead, which makes him immune to all curses in the world. Then he completed the trials of the Secret Cult, which I don't know the specifics of, but he did receive a blessing called the 'Blessing of the Death Bell' from there, which allows him to detect and evade any assassination attempts... Of course, besides that, he also has many other strange blessings."

"In short, these protections essentially block all ways to defeat him except by directly confronting him."

Finally, Kiritsugu Emiya concluded.

"But no matter how you look at it, defeating that guy head-on is probably the most difficult thing..."

Rin Tohsaka, without realizing it, took on the role of the tsukkomi (straight man).

"In short, if we want to take back tide, we absolutely cannot bypass this cheating-level BOSS. She is an enemy we must defeat, right?"

Ryougi Shiki, who had been standing by the wall, walked over, pulled out a chair, sat down, and said something.

"If the team leader and I go together, we can barely fight that guy, but we definitely can't win. Just like Tohsaka said, that guy is too strong. If we go head-to-head, it won't end well."

After sitting in his seat and thinking for a while, Li Cheng spoke.

"There is no such thing as a perfect blessing in this world. He must have some weakness. Emiya, aren't you very good at assassination? Finding the weaknesses of those enemies who are invincible in a direct confrontation should be your forte. Can you do it? Find the strongest weakness of this A-rank enemy?"

"No problem, leave it to me."

After thinking for a moment, Kiritsugu Emiya nodded and said.

"Also, if I remember correctly, Mr. Emiya, you are able to obtain heavy firepower, right?"

As if he had just thought of something, Kurogiri Mikiya turned around and asked.

“Yes,” Kiritsugu Emiya nodded in agreement, “so the first layer of blockade on the island can also be left to me; I can find experts in this field.”

"Mr. Emiya is truly omnipotent..."

That makes sense. The first layer of soldiers' blockade could be breached by Kiritsugu Emiya. The second layer's complex computer-based defenses could also be broken by Kiritsugu Emiya. But the final boss on the third layer—it still requires Kiritsugu Emiya to figure out its weaknesses and strike. Clearly, Kurogiri Mikiya has always had the best connections among this group, so how come Kiritsugu Emiya has suddenly become Doraemon?

"Speaking of which, Kurogiri, you're not even part of Team Six. You only came to help us at Emiya's request. Are you planning to continue helping without reporting to your superiors?"

As if suddenly remembering something, Li Cheng turned to look at Kurogiri Mikiya and asked.

"If this is reported, you'll be restricted, won't you?"

To this, Kokutou Mikiya simply gave a gentle smile.

“I cannot condone their act of taking a child away. No matter how noble their motives may be, forcing someone to sacrifice is wrong in my view. Moreover, this child is someone I know well and who is right beside me. Therefore, I must stop this from continuing.”

"If it's reported, given the identities of those two, the Sixth Group will definitely be restricted. It might even turn into an internal power struggle within the action group, which I can't accept. I'm not good at combat, and my only talent is intelligence."

"So, at the very least, I still have to do something. It's for the child, and also for my own beliefs and pursuits."
