Naturally, the First Emperor had no obligation to answer the other party's doubts. He just glanced at Xu Fu indifferently and then issued a new order.

"But it seems that something unexpected happened tonight. You will be in charge of cleaning up Xu Fu this time. Then, investigate everything that happened there and report back to me."

"Oh~ It's so troublesome~..."

"Ok?"

"Ahem, I mean to follow orders~"

After being glared at fiercely by the First Emperor, the weak, pitiful and helpless Xu Fu could only bow his head and accept the order, then turn around and trot out to carry out the First Emperor's order.

Looking at her flustered back, the First Emperor's stern expression finally relaxed, and he sat back on the dragon throne somewhat tiredly.

He looked quietly at the objects on the display stand, tapping his temples with his slender fingers, as if trying to relieve the headache that had accumulated over the past three years.

What Xu Fu didn't realize was that the emperor had not given up his pursuit of immortality to this day, but his goal was no longer his own immortality.

Just because he saw it.

The moment he first came into contact with Shinji Matou three years ago, he, with his extraordinary vision, saw through the true nature of Shinji Matou, a man from the Eye Demon World, and saw the possibility of completing the Eternal Qin Empire.

He sat upright on the dragon throne, his red eyes looking towards the future.

"Since they can exist in this form, then I can do it too. There is no need to be obsessed with life and death. I will lead my people to transcend it. Under my rule, the land of China will have eternal peace."]

684: Lingqi, you are too annoying (6k)

[After Fujimaru Ritsuka learned about Chen Shi's situation and decided to walk a path on his own without relying on him, time quickly came to the next day.

Almost as soon as the sky was dyed pale, Sakamoto Ryoma and his companions, who had lost contact with Chaldea for unknown reasons, finally regained communication with this side and reported to the base the news that Emiya Shirou had been defeated and taken away by Toosaka Sakura.

Although he was reluctant to believe that Shirou Emiya, who had the soul of Houdini, was taken away by the enemy without even a chance to escape, Fujimaru Ritsuka still rushed to the village as soon as possible and met up with Ryoma Sakamoto and others there.

At that time, I also met a young man named Zidu.

"Zidu?"

Mashu, who was following Fujimaru Ritsuka, narrowed her eyes slightly after hearing the boy's self-introduction, as if she had thought of something, but considering that the current situation was not suitable for her to express her guess, she just remained silent.

Compared to Mashu, who is well-versed in history, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who didn't think about anything, didn't notice the mystery hidden in the name at all. After obtaining the Cobra phone provided by Zidu, he simply chose to believe the other party.

Through Zidu's narration, the records left in the Cobra phone, and the supplements from Sakamoto Ryoma and others, the Chaldean group quickly understood what happened in the village last night.

"How could it be, brother..."

Looking at the scene of Shirou Emiya's "fall" recorded in the mobile phone, Miyu Emiya showed an expression of disbelief.

For her, who lacked relevant memories, her impression of the people in the Eye Demon World always remained at the level of friendliness and kindness. Even though Shirou Emiya had warned her several times when she was still in the Eye Soul state that she must be wary of the people in the Eye Demon World, she still found it difficult to feel any real sense.

But now seeing Toosaka Sakura's crazy attitude, which was different from her impression, Emiya Miyu finally felt a sense of strangeness and fear in her heart. While her head was aching slightly, she became more worried about her brother's current situation.

The girl's trembling voice was soon noticed by Fujimaru Ritsuka. Seeing the other's pale face, the latter immediately spoke to comfort her and said that he would definitely bring Emiya Shirou back safely.

Fortunately, Sakamoto Ryoma and Lanling King's stay here last night was not for nothing. For this reformist who had played countless cat-and-mouse games with various forces during his lifetime, tracking and counter-tracking were also Sakamoto Ryoma's forte.

In addition, the enemies, Sakura Toosaka and Shinji Matou, seemed to have no experience in intrigue with others, and were easily caught by Ryoma Sakamoto.

"According to my investigation, the two groups of people last night did not seem to act together, but separated after the battle."

Ryoma Sakamoto drew a simple map on the ground with a branch and told several people his findings. Miss A-Long beside him raised her hands one after another, as if she was a poor student who had rarely encountered a question she knew how to answer when the teacher asked questions.

"Hmph! According to what Miss A'long smelled, the blue kelp head went to a place called Xianyang, and the purple-haired woman who took the red thorny head away was moving in the exact opposite direction."

"Uh, that's it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned and felt a little conflicted for a moment.

Subjectively, Fujimaru Ritsuka really wanted to prioritize rescuing the controlled Emiya Shirou, but she thought the people in the village who were taken away by Matou Shinji were equally important.

If you choose to chase one of them first, you may lose the chance to find the other one. But if you have to split your forces, with only one Kamen Rider here, their combat power is obviously insufficient, and they may be defeated one by one.

Just when Fujimaru Ritsuka was in distress, Mashu stood up.

"Senior, let me track down Matou Shinji."

"what?"

Surprised, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at Mashu, who nodded to her with a look of determination on her face.

"The current situation does not allow us to make any more mistakes. In my opinion, if we want to take back Mr. Shirou, we will inevitably conflict with Tousaka Sakura, so our most powerful senior must participate in tracking him down.

But tracking Shinji Matou is different. Our goal is just to grasp his movements and purposes. As long as we are careful, there is no need to fight with him.

From this perspective, it would be the most appropriate plan for me and Mr. Ryoma, who is good at tracking, to go."

Sakamoto Ryoma nodded in agreement with Mashu's analysis.

"I think it is possible to find an opportunity to sneak into Xianyang City without being discovered. Miss Aaron and I have been there to gather intelligence, and the security there is not that strict.

In addition, as mentioned before, the people in the Eye Demon World don't seem to be on guard against being tracked, so the plan proposed by Ms. Mashu is theoretically fine."

"Huh? The Great Qin clearly has something as powerful as the Kuaiji Zero, but has Mr. Longma ever successfully infiltrated it?"

The new information made Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes light up, and his attention was focused on the smiling Sakamoto Ryoma and the proud Miss Arlong.

Almost no one noticed that when Fujimaru Ritsuka proposed the four words "Kuaiji Zero Type", Miss Lanling Wang's eyelids under the mask twitched violently, but she quickly concealed this small emotional change and returned to her usual indifferent attitude.

Mashu was the only one present who looked back at Lanling King beside her. She felt that the aura that Lanling King exuded just now made her feel particularly familiar, but it was only a momentary feeling. Soon Mashu's attention was attracted back to Sakamoto Ryoma. 】

NEET Detective: It’s so strange. This Lanling King always gives people a very strange feeling, as if he is hiding some secret.

Little Eggplant: Yes, it turns out that Miss Lanling Wang’s temperament makes me feel inexplicably familiar, as if I have seen it in someone.

Little Eggplant: This is really strange. I should have never seen Miss Lanling King, and Chaldea has never summoned this heroic spirit.

Gaming genius Jie-senpai: Ahaha, it must be your illusion!

Pepe: Haha, I see. I saw this. I just had a feeling at first, but I didn’t expect it to be true.

General Rock-san: Such terrible acting, I feel like only someone as naive as Mashu wouldn't be able to recognize it.

Captain of Group A: Indeed, with our God’s perspective, it cannot be hidden at all.

Modern Valkyrie: Yes, very similar.

Little Eggplant:?

[In response to everyone's gaze, Sakamoto Ryoma stroked his chin and described his feelings when he sneaked into Xianyang.

"Rather than saying it's not strict enough, it's more like it's hard to even detect the presence of people. Although I only saw it from a distance, the Xianyang Palace gave me the feeling of an empty city."

"That's because for His Majesty the First Emperor, who has now completed the great unification, deploying troops in Xianyang is just a waste of manpower."

When Sakamoto Ryoma expressed his doubts, Zidu suddenly spoke.

"The current Emperor Qin Shi Huang has absolute confidence and arrogance. He firmly believes that under his imperial power, no one on this land can threaten him. This is true. The Kuaiji Zero who always accompanies him can defeat all enemies."

"It really has that guy's style."

Zi Du's words made Jing Ke's expression reveal emotion and a little dissatisfaction, making her recall the scene when she assassinated the other party.

At that time, wasn't it because of the emperor's arrogance that she was able to get within ten steps of him? What was even more infuriating was that even at this distance, her assassination still failed.

The man named Ying Zheng did have the capital to do so, and history has also proven that the only thing that could kill this man was his own lifespan.

"However, this in turn proves the feasibility of our sneaking into Xianyang."

Changing her mindset, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally agreed to Mashu's proposal. She looked at Mashu again and finally asked a question.

"Is everything really alright, Mash?"

"no problem!"

Mashu clenched her fists and looked at her predecessor without dodging.

"This time, let me be the senior's strength!"

"I see!"

Seeing Mashu in such an attitude, Fujimaru Ritsuka gave up the idea of ​​persuading her anymore. Since Mashu wanted to do so, as her companion, she would choose to believe her.

She thought of Chen Shi, who was still pretending to be dead in her body.

——Just watch, brother. I will never agree with self-sacrifice! Even if the process is extremely embarrassing, I will support my companions and go on to witness the day when the future is saved!

——…

There was still no response in his heart, but Fujimaru Ritsuka was no longer confused, and quickly planned the next course of action with the Chaldea group.

Considering that Xianyang City has the Kuaiji Zero, Sakamoto Ryoma who is good at tracking, Izumo Akuni who is good at covert operations, Himiko who can shield and predict, and Lanling King who serves as a guard were incorporated into Mashu's action team.

Zidu also expressed that he could help and provide a new place for Mashu and the others to stay.

The rest of the people will catch up with Sakura Tousaka and the others as quickly as possible, and after taking back Shirou Emiya and the remaining two eye souls, they will go to Xianyang to meet up with Mashu.

……

After making the decision, the two groups quickly started their actions, parted ways and quickly rushed towards their respective goals.

Just before leaving, Miss Lanling Wang suddenly looked in a certain direction as if she had sensed something.

At a certain moment just now, she seemed to sense an extremely strong gaze falling on her, but when she looked back, she did not see any shadow of anyone in that direction.

Everything seemed to be just the woman's illusion.

"Is it because I'm too excited?"

Talking to himself in a voice that only he could hear, Lanling Wang quickly turned around and caught up with Mashu who noticed his stop, and shook his head to indicate that everything was fine.

After Mashu and the others disappeared from the camera's range, a gray-blue "mushroom" suddenly emerged from under the ground in the light of magic. Its slender body trembled slightly, and its brown eyes stared at the direction where Mashu's team left.

"No, there is no mistake. That figure is definitely that adult!"

Xu Fu unconsciously took a step in that direction, but his feet wrapped in black cloth shoes suddenly stopped in mid-air and did not fall for a long time.

"Oops! I almost forgot the mission assigned to me by His Majesty the Emperor~!"

Looking at the village that seemed very deserted after being settled by Chaldea, Xu Fu's pretty face flashed with hesitation and struggle.

"But, but if I don't catch up with her now, she might disappear without a trace again! Wuuuuu... What should I do? Ah! I got it!"

Rubbing his hair in distress, Xu Fu suddenly had an idea and took out a copper coin from his pocket.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so your Majesty's will is the will of heaven! In this case, let's use the will of heaven to decide here! Continue to investigate the village on the front side, and follow on the back side! Let's go! Hey!"
