And how did he find me? I should have only been exposed to that white-haired heroic spirit in the bodysuit wielding dual swords...
Without a second thought, the diminutive Hassan Sabah dodged and, while attempting to retreat, suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Chuan's shoulder.
Throughout history, those who have been given the name Hassan al-Sabah have all possessed their own unique assassination skills—he was no exception.
The short Hassan al-Sabah's Noble Phantasm is "Imagination Computer".
The Noble Phantasm's effect is quite simple: by touching the enemy's body with his left hand, he can turn the enemy's head into gunpowder, blowing it off along with the enemy's upper body.
As an assassination weapon, this ability is all about surprise – most people would find it hard to imagine that just being touched would mean losing their life.
The diminutive Hassan Sabah was confident in the power of the Noble Phantasm, and he also noticed that when his left hand reached out to Qin Chuan's shoulder, Qin Chuan didn't seem to object.
Just as he thought his Noble Phantasm was about to be successfully activated, Qin Chuan suddenly raised his hand and, in an unbelievable move, grabbed his left wrist.
"I was wondering who the Assassin would be this time, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Qin Chuan laughed after casually grabbing the short Hassan Sabah's left hand.
This guy is considered a relatively unpopular Heroic Spirit in the Type-Moon universe—Qin Chuan remembers that he appeared in the "Night Holy Grail War".
Qin Chuan hadn't expected this at first, but when he saw this guy reach out his left hand to grab him, he suddenly remembered.
"Turning an enemy's brain into explosives through touch? That's an interesting ability."
Qin Chuan grinned, but that smile sent a chill down the spine of the diminutive Hassan Sabah.
"What a coincidence, I also have an ability very similar to yours—Assassin Queen!"
The next moment, the diminutive Hassan al-Sabah’s left hand exploded—like a detonated dynamite, it shattered instantly into fragments of flesh and blood, and gradually vanished into the air.
Qin Chuan's "Blackbird Requiem: Killer Queen" can also turn anything he touches into a bomb and detonate it.
And it's far more sophisticated than this guy's "imaginary computer"—Killer Queen isn't just capable of blowing up brains, it can destroy anything it touches.
Chapter 558 The Day of Liu Dong Yicheng's Suffering Approaches
"Guaaaaaah...!"
The diminutive Hassan Sabah immediately knelt on the ground in agony, staring in horror at his left hand, which had been blown to pieces.
His Noble Phantasm, "Empty Box Computer," was activated by touching it with his left hand. Now that his left hand has been destroyed, his Noble Phantasm is essentially sealed away. (5)
As a Heroic Spirit, he could normally recover from injuries through healing magic activated by his Master... but the problem is that Ryudou Kazunari doesn't know any healing magic at all.
Moreover, Qin Chuan clearly wouldn't give him a chance to recover.
"Boring, is that all?"
Qin Chuan glanced at Hassan Sabah, who was kneeling on the ground in agony after his left hand was blown off, and curled his lip.
He had no interest in devouring this kind of creature—after all, the "Imaginary Computer" was simply a lower-level version of the "Killer Queen."
"Zhidune, freeze him." (Three)
Then, as Qin Chuan spoke in a manner reminiscent of a cold storage owner, a small figure suddenly rolled in through the room's window.
It was Shido, who had been waiting outside the window for a long time—just now, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Qin Chuan had entered the room alone with "Scent Concealment" activated to eavesdrop, leaving Shido waiting outside.
However, there was no need to hide him anymore, so he called in Zhidune and had her freeze Hassan Sabah before taking him back.
"Seriously, I'm not a Heroic Spirit who's specifically in charge of packing up."
After Zhidu rolled in, he couldn't help but complain—of course, although he complained, he still obediently did as Qin Chuan ordered.
After all, her purpose in coming here was to help Qin Chuan. Although this kind of work may seem like a chore, it is still a form of help, isn't it?
With a wave of her hand, the diminutive Hassan al-Sabah was instantly frozen in ice—though he seemed to try to struggle at the last moment, it was all in vain.
Finally, Hassan Sabah remained frozen in the pose of pulling a poison needle from his waist, just like the previous Heroic Spirit Emiya.
Furthermore, the Heroic Spirit Emiya possesses projection magic, which allows him to project special Noble Phantasms to help thaw parts of his body, a skill that Hassan-Sabbah lacks.
If nothing unexpected happens, this guy will remain frozen like this until the new Lesser Grail is made, at which point Qin Chuan will casually kill him.
Qin Chuan had the "Black Bird Soul Requiem" song lift the frozen Hassan Sabah and prepared to leave. However, before leaving, he still looked at Liu Dong Yicheng, who was quite frightened.
Although this guy didn't have many scenes in the original work, he did appear as Shirou Emiya's friend, so he asked Ryudou Kazunari with some curiosity:
"By the way, Ryudou Kazunari, right? Do you have a friend named Emiya Shirou? Or rather, do you have a red-haired friend?"
Since there is no Kiritsugu Emiya and no fire from ten years ago, Shirou Emiya in this world should not be called by this name, but should keep his original name and live with his original parents.
However, while names and personalities may change, appearances and hair color will certainly remain the same, so he was also a little curious about what Emiya Shirou would look like in this world.
"Ah... ah?"
Liu Dong Yicheng was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. He realized that the man who had instantly killed Hassan Sabah was asking him a question. He trembled slightly and answered.
"No... I don't know him. I've never heard of him, and I don't have any red-haired friends."
While there are certainly red-haired male voices throughout the school, even if Ryudo Issei is the student council president, it's clearly impossible for him to remember the appearances and information of every student in the entire school.
"Really? Never mind then, it's none of your business."
Qin Chuan nodded. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't dwell on it—what did it matter to him if Emiya Shirou's future changed?
"By the way, you'd better not tell anyone about what happened today, or someone will come after you."
After saying that, Qin Chuan and Zhi Du left through the room window, taking Hassan Sabah, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture, with them, leaving only Liu Dong Yicheng alone in the room.
Because the air conditioning had been used in the room earlier, the temperature had dropped considerably, causing Ryudou Kazunari to shiver.
"What kind of mess is this...?"
……
Shortly after Qin Chuan and Zhi Du left, two more people arrived at the door of Liu Dong Yi Cheng's house.
"Is this where Assassin is located?"
Mordred stood in the doorway with a smile on her face—though she seemed cheerful, a closer look revealed a hint of malice hidden within her smile.
"After searching for so long, we've finally found a clue—today we're going to get Assassin to join forces with us!"
Contrary to Hassan Sabah's expectations, his whereabouts were not only exposed to the Heroic Spirit Emiya, but even Mordred noticed some clues.
For an Assassin whose strengths lie in concealing their presence and assassinating, this is quite unqualified.
After a period of investigation, Mordred and Rin Tohsaka finally located Hassan Sabah and came to him.
"Are you sure Assassin will really cooperate with us?"
Rin Tohsaka looked at Mordred ahead and sighed helplessly.
Normally, given her personality, she wouldn't have been willing to make such a blatant visit—but Mordred insisted that there was no need to be timid when facing Assassin.
Rin Tohsaka had already given up hope of winning. She had witnessed Mordred being brutally beaten by Qin Chuan, which gave her a further understanding of Qin Chuan's strength.
Now she just wants to see what other tricks Mordred is up to.
"If he doesn't cooperate, then beat him until he does—he's just a mere Assassin (good Li Zhao)."
Mordred sneered – Assassin has the worst base stats of all classes; its only strengths are assassination and intelligence gathering.
It's impossible that this Assassin is the original Hassan, right?
Mordred's reason for cooperating with Assassin was simple—she wanted to find out where Qin Chuan's weaknesses lay.
She didn't believe that a person could be completely without weaknesses, and that an Assassin skilled in intelligence gathering could help with that.
Mordred's fighting style is not as chivalrous as Artoria's; she's capable of anything for victory.
"Assassin! Come out!"
The next moment, Mordred shouted the name Assassin and rushed into Yoodong Kazunari's house.
The immense force smashed the door open, and it stormed into the room like a tiger.
Chapter 559 Mordred's Brainstorming
Ryudo Kazunari was extremely upset—he had just seen off Qin Chuan and Shido, and now Tohsaka Rin and Mordred had come knocking on his door.
Fortunately, he is the only one at home right now, so at least for the time being, the chaos at home will not affect his family.
"What!? A焐亦旗吧八ling起柳壹ssassin has been taken away by Qin Chuan!?"
After pressing a sword against Yoo Dong-ichi's neck and forcing him to reveal Assassin's whereabouts, Mordred was also taken aback, not expecting that he had arrived a step too late.
Although Ryudou Kazunari didn't know Qin Chuan and Shido's names, Mordred only gave a brief description of Qin Chuan's fight with Assassin before confirming Qin Chuan's identity.
After all, in her opinion, in this Holy Grail War, there was no one else but Qin Chuan who could completely cripple a Heroic Spirit with a single move.
This made her feel a little discouraged – she had originally wanted Assassin to act as a pawn to help her find out Qin Chuan's weaknesses, but now it seemed that was impossible.
"But I didn't expect Ryudou to be a Master too... The contestants this time are really quite young."
Rin Tohsaka didn't care about Assassin's whereabouts, since Mordred's idea of using Assassin to test Qin Chuan's weaknesses was just wishful thinking.
357
She looked at Ryu Dong-ichi with a somewhat surprised expression, who was squatting on the ground, not daring to speak, and was also speechless.
She and Ryudong Kazunari didn't get along well. Ryudong Kazunari seemed to dislike girls with her personality, so even though he was the student council president, the two didn't have much of a relationship at school.
Rin Tohsaka was only surprised that Kazunari Ryudou actually had the aptitude of a magician.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. As the location of the spiritual vein where the Holy Grail descended, Ryudouji Temple must have some special characteristics.
As the youngest son of Ryudouji Temple, Ryudou Issei, even though his talent was far inferior to that of his ancestors, still retained some magical talent.
Just like in the Fourth Holy Grail War, even someone like Ryunosuke Uryu, whose magician bloodline had been diluted to the point of being diluted to the extreme, was chosen by the Holy Grail.
That Ryudong Issei had some magical talent, which was called "inspiration" at Ryudong Temple, so it wasn't surprising that he could summon heroic spirits.
"So you can leave now? I really don't have the person you're looking for here..."
Although Ryudou Kazunari didn't like Rin Tohsaka and had never given her a good look at school, he could only swallow his pride and admit defeat at this moment.
There was no other way, so Hassan-i Sabah, in order to make him understand the truth about the Holy Grail War, also gave him a lesson on things like magicians.
Now, Rin Tohsaka is clearly the "magician" that Hassan Sabah mentioned, so it's obvious that an ordinary person like myself cannot compete with Rin Tohsaka.
"It seems she wasn't lying. I even felt a chill here... There must have been a battle."
Rin Tohsaka looked at Mordred and said to her.
"Let's go, S.A.B. Your idea of getting Assassin to help you find Qin Chuan's weaknesses is probably going to fall through."
"Damn it! If only we had found Assassin sooner!"
Mordred angrily sheathed his sword, nearly slicing through Liu Dong Yicheng's neck in the process, causing Liu Dong Yicheng to shudder.
"How am I going to prove my worth to Qin Chuan now...?"
Although Mordred was reckless, he was also well aware that he had almost no chance of defeating Qin Chuan in a head-on confrontation. If he wanted Qin Chuan to recognize his value, he had to find another way.
Knowing Qin Chuan's weaknesses doesn't necessarily mean you can defeat him, but it can at least leave him with some wounds, making him realize that his fighting ability is no less than Gao Wen's.
Gawain couldn't leave a wound on him, but he could!
"If you just want to know about this Qin Chuan, you don't necessarily have to send someone to investigate."
Seeing that Rin Tohsaka and Mordred didn't seem to be ready to leave, Kazunari Ryudou probably wanted the two of them to leave quickly, so he couldn't help but speak up.
"For example, approaching him not as an opponent, but as someone else..."
"Huh? What a joke, this is the Holy Grail War. If Qin Chuan and I are no match for each other, what else could it be..."
Mordred frowned upon hearing this and instinctively retorted—but halfway through her sentence, she seemed to suddenly realize something.
"Wait a minute... Qin Chuan did say he would give me a chance to attack him, but he didn't say that we had to fight as soon as we met?"
In other words... it's possible to go see Qin Chuan without fighting him?
After all, judging from Qin Chuan's previous attitude, he seemed to look down on him, so as long as he didn't take the initiative to attack, Qin Chuan probably wouldn't bother to deal with him.
“…Saber?”
Rin Tohsaka also heard what Kazunari Ryudou said, but she didn't care at first because she thought Mordred would definitely not agree with the idea.
As she expected, Mordred immediately refuted Ryudong Kazunari's suggestion—but halfway through her rebuttal, Mordred suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought.
This startled Rin Tohsaka, who looked at Mordred—could she really be planning to use Ryuudou Kazunari's plan to personally approach Qin Chuan and gather intelligence?
"Master, I think this is a good idea."
Sure enough, Mordred quickly turned to look at Rin Tohsaka, a smile of excitement spreading across her face.
