"Anyway, the guy in the living room seems to have something to say to Dad, so I'm here to deliver a message."
Zhidun stared at Reines for a while, then finally looked away from her and spoke to Qin Chuan.
"Now that you've finished that, Dad, you should go downstairs quickly."
"understood."
Qin Chuan smiled and ruffled Shido's hair, probably noticing that Shido wasn't in a good mood, and teased him.
"Don't worry, I won't make you call Reines 'Mom'."
"Who would call her 'Mom'?"
· ······.···· ········
Zhi Du Nei pursed her lips. Her only mother was Irisviel. No matter how many other women did with Qin Chuan, she would never call them mothers.
She was staring at Reines not because she was worried about having another mother, but simply because she felt a little jealous.
She hadn't made any progress on her plan against Qin Chuan yet, but Reines had suddenly made it to home base, which left her somewhat conflicted.
Should I also try to play the straight game like Reines?
But with my physique... even if I go straight for the ball, will I really be able to arouse Qin Chuan's interest?
……
When Qin Chuan arrived in the living room, Weber was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar, which filled the entire living room with the smell of tobacco.
However, Webber's tobacco seemed to be specially made; although the smoke was swirling, it didn't smell unpleasant—Qin Chuan remembered that these cigars were even Webber's magical costume.
By inserting different types of tobacco, different magical effects can be achieved... The tobacco inserted this time seems to have a calming effect.
"Ah, Mr. Qin Chuan, are you done on your end?"
Seeing Qin Chuan come down, Weber quickly stood up from the sofa and stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray.
Despite how much more mature Weber has become over the years, when facing Qin Chuan, he still feels the same naive and impulsive person he once was, involuntarily filled with fear and respect.
"ended."
Qin Chuan nodded, looked at Weber with a somewhat strange expression, and said.
"You probably already guessed what we were doing just now, right?"
Weber was speechless for a moment—Qin Chuan was right. Although Zhi Du had sealed the sound of the bedroom with ice, preventing Weber from hearing any movement inside, he had guessed something.
After all, Qin Chuan and Reines had stayed in the bedroom for so long, and even though he had asked Zhidunai to deliver a message, Qin Chuan still waited for almost an hour before coming down.
He sighed and said to Qin Chuan:
"I could guess that... but I think this is also what Reines herself wanted. I can only hope that Mr. Qin Chuan can take good care of Reines."
"Don't worry about that."
Qin Chuan responded with a smile.
"So, is there something you wanted to tell me?" Jiu asked.
Chapter 556 Qin Chuan Knows Everything
"It's not that I have anything to do, it's this guy."
Weber nodded, then pointed to the corner of the living room—where stood an ice sculpture, none other than the Heroic Spirit Emiya.
After being frozen by Shidone, this guy was placed in the corner of the living room like a statue, and no one paid him any attention.
But now, Qin Chuan looked and found that the ice on the head of the Heroic Spirit Emiya had actually shattered, which finally allowed his head to move freely.
The ice temperature in Zhidu is very low. As is well known, once the temperature drops to a certain level, everything slows down.
If a flower reaches absolute zero, the molecules in the object will lose all kinetic energy, causing everything at that temperature to come to a standstill.
Although the ice within the palace does not reach absolute zero, its low temperature greatly restricts the movements of the Heroic Spirit Guard "Sangoshoku" Palace, making it difficult for him to use his abilities while frozen in the ice.
After a slow, full day, the Heroic Spirit Emiya finally managed to gather some power and activate a projection magic spell, forcibly shattering the ice on his head.
Waver summoned Qin Chuan after discovering that the Heroic Spirit Emiya's head had broken free and seemed to have something to say.
"Oh? You actually broke free from the ice. I didn't expect you to still have the strength to fight back under those circumstances." Ling
Qin Chuan glanced at the Heroic Spirit Emiya with some surprise—his neck and below were still frozen, and even the flow of magic was extremely slow.
"Is there something you want to say?"
The Heroic Spirit Emiya glared at Qin Chuan, his face filled with anger. He shook his head for a long time, making "woof woof woof" sounds, but couldn't utter a single word.
It's good that he can't utter a word—his mouth is still sealed shut by Qin Chuan's "steel chain fingers" zipper; it would be a miracle if he could speak.
Waver wasn't a Stand user, so he couldn't see that Emiya's mouth was sealed with a zipper, but he could clearly sense that something had been done to Emiya's mouth.
In Waver's view, Emiya's lips seemed glued shut, tightly closed, and no matter how much he tried to speak, he couldn't open them.
"Mr. Qin Chuan, you'd better stop teasing him. After all, this guy is a Heroic Spirit from the Holy Grail War. He might have the information we need."
Weber sighed and rubbed his forehead. Having experienced many things, his personality had become much more composed.
"Don't forget, we still have a group of contestants whose information we haven't gathered yet."
The information Qin Chuan and his team currently have covers all six groups of contestants: Yi Er Lin, San Er Lin, and Qi Shi Ba. However, the group of contestants in Assassin's group remains unknown.
In the original work, the Assassins of the Fifth Holy Grail War are quite special, having two different sets of Servants and Masters.
One possibility is that Caster Medea in the original work illegally summoned a "fake Assassin," Sasaki Kojiro. Because it was an illegal summoning, the assassin summoned was not Hassan.
Secondly, there's Hassan, the "True Assassin" secretly summoned by Zouken Matou, who is someone Qin Chuan had met briefly during the "Sacred Round Table Realm" quest.
However, due to Qin Chuan's influence in the Fate/Zero quest, both of the Assassin summoners have disappeared.
Atram Gariasta, who was originally scheduled to participate in this Holy Grail War, had his spot taken by Reines, who is also a member of the Mage's Association, so he had no chance to summon Medea.
Furthermore, Zouken Matou was completely wiped out by Qin Chuan during the last Holy Grail War; otherwise, the Matou family wouldn't have sent Shinji Matou, a complete waste, to participate.
"Alright, let's see if this guy really knows any information."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan stopped teasing the Heroic Spirit Emiya—after all, teasing a man really wasn't very interesting.
Medusa, bound by chains, was indeed worth teasing—but she was quite cooperative at the moment, placed in a guest room by Zhidun, and guarded by "Moon Spirit Essence Fluid" Trimmau.
Qin Chuan walked up to the Heroic Spirit Emiya, the "Blackbird Requiem" appeared behind him, and then reached out and ripped open the Heroic Spirit Emiya's mouth.
The zipper that had been binding Emiya's mouth instantly came off, restoring his ability to speak.
"Cough cough...!!!"
His mouth was finally able to open, and the Heroic Spirit Emiya coughed violently, then abruptly raised his head, looking at Qin Chuan with a mixture of anger and confusion.
"Who exactly are you!? You shouldn't be in this Holy Grail War!?"
As a Heroic Spirit from the "future" to some extent, Emiya knows who the participants in the Fifth Holy Grail War are.
Of course, he knew that the Fifth Holy Grail War did not have a good ending—that "Emiya Shirou" left everyone, practiced justice alone, and eventually became the current "Heroic Spirit Emiya".
But in any case, as far as he knew, Qin Chuan should not have been a Heroic Spirit in this Holy Grail War... and even many other places had undergone incredible changes.
"Don't get me wrong, Emiya, now is not the time for you to ask questions."
However, his doubts were not answered. Qin Chuan squinted at him, and "Blackbird Requiem" behind him reached out and grabbed his neck, making him feel a suffocating sensation in his chest.
"Now answer my questions obediently. If you answer them well, I might reward you with a quick and easy meal later."
There are different ways to let "Blackbird Requiem" devour you—if it devours you little by little, it will bring great pain to the one being devoured, just like Gawain in "The Sacred Round Table Realm".
A flicker of fear flashed in Emiya's eyes; he had rarely experienced such a feeling.
However, this time he couldn't even see how Qin Chuan made his move—he couldn't see the double, so he had no idea that he was being choked by an invisible hand.
These 4.8 feelings forced him to submit and obediently listen to Qin Chuan.
"What do you know about the Assassins in this Holy Grail War?"
Qin Chuan made "Blackbird Requiem" release his grip, and then asked the question that Weber had just mentioned.
This is also the only participant in this Holy Grail War whose identity is still unclear.
However, considering the special nature of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, Qin Chuan added a special note:
"Not the Assassin from the 'Fifth Holy Grail War' you experienced, I need information about the Assassin from this Holy Grail War."
Upon hearing this, the Heroic Spirit Emiya felt a chill creep up his spine.
It wasn't the chill emanating from the ice within the stone walls, but rather the terrifying feeling of having everything seen through by the person before you.
Chapter 557 Is it a stand-in of the same type as me?
"Master, are you still not planning to launch an attack?"
In an ordinary house in Fuyuki City, Fukayama-cho, a short figure was asking his master a question.
This diminutive figure is none other than the Assassin of this event—without a doubt, the Assassin summoned through normal means during the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City is Hassan-i-Sabah.
"I already said, I have absolutely no intention of fighting for that Holy Grail... nor do I want to kill anyone."
The Master sitting in the room was an ordinary high school student named Ryudou Kazunari.
As the youngest son of Ryudou Temple, Kazunari Ryudou is an ordinary high school boy who will become a monk in the future. A few days ago, when he went to help out at Ryudou Temple, he accidentally triggered a strange array left in Ryudou Temple.
Ryudong Issei was unaware that the bottom of Ryudong Temple was a spiritual vein. Unintentionally, he summoned a heroic spirit named Hassan Sabah through that formation.
Hassan Sabah told Ryudou Kazunari about his origins and common knowledge about the Holy Grail War, but unfortunately, Ryudou Kazunari seemed to have no intention of fighting at all.
This high school boy, who is Shirou Emiya's friend in the original work, only wanted to study hard, and summoning Hassan-i-Sabah was something he never expected.
You know, he was the student council president at school, how could he possibly engage in such a brutal fight?
"...This is really troublesome."
Hassan Sabah was also a bit of a headache, probably because he never expected that the person who summoned him was such an ordinary high school student with no fighting spirit.
Ryudou Kazunari clearly possesses some magical talent, otherwise he would never have been able to summon a Heroic Spirit—but the truth is that Ryudou Kazunari seems to know absolutely nothing about magic.
“Master, although you seem to have no desire to fight, battles will come knocking on your door.”
"why?"
Ryudong Kazunari looked at Hassan Sabah with a somewhat surprised expression.
"Didn't you say that as an Assassin you have an ability called 'Presence Concealment' that makes you undetectable to others? As long as you don't make a move, who can actively discover us?"
Despite having absolutely no interest in the Holy Grail War, he remembered his abilities perfectly... Hassan Sabah was speechless for a moment.
However, he still explained the reason very seriously:
"Although I won't be bothered if I don't take the initiative... unfortunately, I was discovered by a Heroic Spirit wielding dual swords when I went to gather intelligence a couple of days ago."
He was unaware that it was the Heroic Spirit Emiya who had discovered him. As a Heroic Spirit who was not good at direct combat, Hassan Sabbach fled after discovering Emiya.
But he knew very well that the other party would find this place soon, and a battle would be inevitable—he had to let his Master know the danger of the situation in advance.
What?! Such a thing exists?!
Liu Dongyicheng panicked. He couldn't even look at the study guide in his hand anymore and quickly stood up from his desk.
"Then...what should we do!?"
Unlike other Masters, Ryudou Kazunari had absolutely no independent thought about this matter—after all, he had never intended to participate in the Holy Grail War in the first place.
This is similar to Shirou Emiya in the original work—however, Shirou Emiya in the original work had Rin Tohsaka as his guide, while Kazunari Ryudou did not.
Although he and Rin Tohsaka went to the same school, their relationship wasn't very good, and he didn't have any chance encounters with other Masters like Shirou Emiya in the original work.
Seeing this, the diminutive Hassan Sabah's eyes flashed with a glint of shrewdness, and he opened his mouth to reveal his plan.
But before he could finish speaking, another voice interrupted him from behind:
"If you don't want to participate, just hand this guy over to me, and then we can pretend nothing happened."
The voice sounded somewhat lazy, as if you could hear the owner's speechless mood.
Liu Dongyi was stunned for a moment, then looked behind Hassan Sabah, who also turned around to look.
The two then realized that Qin Chuan had already appeared in the room at some point, and it seemed that he had been standing there for a long time... but the two of them hadn't noticed at all!
—The aura is concealed!
The diminutive Hassan Sabah's pupils contracted, and he almost instantly realized what skill this situation stemmed from.
But he couldn't understand why the guy behind him also had "Presence Concealment," which should be an Assassin's class ability.
