Chapter 112

With magic power injected, Shirou leaped upwards, grabbed a pole, and pulled himself up.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Seeing that the guy in front of him had just finished uttering those harsh words and then ran away, the Hooded Figure chased after him with his sword.

Shirou ran on the rooftop, while the Hooded Figure chased after him from below.

122 Don't let me catch you, or I'll just draw my sword and give you a piece of my mind.

"Why is Chen here?!"

Sitting in front of the computer, Isv roared inwardly.

Judging from the way he was holding his weapon and the two horns on his hood, it would be impossible for Is not to recognize Isv.

The question is, why is Chen here?

Isv's mind raced, while simultaneously pointing Shirou in the direction to escape.

Soon, Isv sorted out the answer.

Chen is also here to investigate the case of the missing infected individuals! And the two people just now are very likely Chen's informants!

Shirou's luck has really hit rock bottom!

"This is bad! Couldn't you just explain the situation and let it go?"

Shirou was fleeing, and although he was aided by Magecraft, his opponent was clearly more familiar with the terrain, so the distance between them never increased.

"Others might have a chance, but it probably won't work for you, Shirou. The timing of your arrival in Lungmen coincides with the case of the missing infected, so the other side is probably here for that reason as well."

Isv said helplessly, "If it were someone else, perhaps Shirou would have had a chance to explain the situation, and with the guarantee from Penguin Logistics, he should have been able to leave."

But if Chen were to catch Shirou... he would probably have to go through the proper procedures, but once he went through the procedures, he would definitely discover the problem with Shirou's identity, and then the problem would return to square one.

"... What a coincidence!"

Shirou was now at a loss; his identity was indeed a major problem.

Although Penguin Logistics helped him obtain Lungmen's identity information, problems can still be found if you really want to investigate.

In addition, according to Isv, the other party was also there to investigate the case, and the timing of his arrival in Lungmen just happened to coincide with that.

If not him, who should be arrested?

Who would believe someone from time travel?

Thinking of this, Shirou increased his speed considerably.

After learning the other person's identity, he had no intention of getting entangled with them anymore; getting hurt would be undesirable.

He, Shirou Emiya, may be a cunning and sarcastic person, but he is absolutely meticulous in this regard!

If the other party were a villain doing bad things, that would be one thing, but the other party came with the intention of investigating a case!

Shirou said he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Try not to get caught; this guy is not someone to mess with."

Hearing the worry in Shirou's tone, Isv could only offer a reminder.

"OK."

Shirou has no interest in talking to Isv right now.

He was constantly analyzing where to run next, as the houses in this area were all relatively low.

Although he was easy to walk on, it was also difficult for him to shake off those who were chasing him.

He didn't dare jump directly from the other side. If he took the normal path and ended up in a dead end, getting stuck in a corner, that would be truly hopeless.

Although he didn't do anything wrong, it's always better to avoid trouble if possible.

"This guy... he can run pretty fast!"

The Hooded Figure chasing through the streets, or rather Chen, watched the red figure darting swiftly across the rooftops.

If someone hadn't helped her scout out the other party's escape route, and if she hadn't been somewhat familiar with the roads in the Slums, she might have actually been let escape.

Now... don't even think about it!

She wasn't completely oblivious; the way the opponent fled and the sword in his hand that made her feel pressured just by looking at it confirmed to Chen Neng that he was definitely not a weakling.

But the other side did not choose to fight back; instead, they ran away immediately.

Are you looking for your companions? Or is there a trap?

Chen didn't know what the other party was thinking, but she knew that if she caught them, she could definitely get a lot of information.

After all, who would bother to wear a hoodie and follow someone for no reason?

As Chen was thinking this, he felt a slight itch in his nose.

It must be that the Chashu Cat is after her; I'll have to teach him a lesson when I get back.

"Isv, do you have a solution?"

Shirou could see far enough to see the tall buildings in the distance.

Although there is a way to get up there directly, exerting force would definitely damage the house.

It was precisely because he was worried about damaging other people's things that Shirou didn't use too much magic.

"I'm going to distract the person behind you who's reporting your location. You can shake them off now!"

"Isv Is said as he maneuvered the drone to interfere with another drone following behind Shirou."

"OK".

Upon hearing Isv's command, Shirou threw the Unbreakable Sacred Saint in his hand towards Chen's direction.

It wasn't about attacking the other party, but rather a feint to give myself a chance to escape.

Most of the magic power inside has already been extracted, and it will probably disappear on its own before it hits the ground.

"Hmph! Is that all there is to it?"

Seeing the sword shooting straight at him, Chen swung his sword, trying to knock it away.

The other side probably had no other options, which is why they threw out their weapon to create a distraction.

The moment she swung her sword down, she sensed something was wrong.

The sword vanished, turning into a blue speck of light!

"What!?"

She immediately held her breath, after all, this thing could very well be Originium artifact or Originium Arts!

She fell for their trap!

After a few seconds, Chen did not notice anything amiss.

Chen's body didn't react strangely. Apart from being a little out of breath from chasing her for a while, she didn't feel anything was wrong.

Looking up, the red figure had already disappeared, and the voice coming from the earpiece indicated that they had been interfered with and lost track of the other party.

"Damn it! I've been tricked!"

After learning that the other party had completely escaped, Chen slammed his fist on the floor.

She was careless; instead of subduing the other party immediately, she chose to break through their disguise.

As a result, she didn't even manage to touch the hem of the other person's clothes, let alone break their disguise.

The opponent didn't even bother to fight her; he just ran away!

Unfortunately, this was the first suspicious person she encountered since she started investigating the case.

The other person has run away... but we can still try to find them.

A red coat, a black mask, black pants, and black shoes.

Especially that red coat looked quite unique; at least she hadn't seen that style in any of the major clothing stores in Lungmen.

And also... the other person's eyes look somewhat familiar.

It looks like I've seen it somewhere before.

Standing up, Chen sheathed his sword.

Everyone's gone, so there's no use for her here. The most urgent thing is to get her checked out to see if those blue lights have had any effect on her.

Although I don't feel anything right now, the effects of the medication might kick in later.

"* Longmen Curses * Don't let me catch you next time, or I'll draw my sword and deal with you."

While making threats, Chen dialed a number on his phone to contact a doctor he knew.

"That guy seemed really angry."

Meanwhile, Emiya, who had successfully escaped Chen's sight by using the Unbreakable Sacred Saint as a cover, was hiding on a high-rise Shirou not far away, while looking at the person who had been chasing him.

But that's quite normal. Even the best-tempered person would hold a grudge if someone made fun of them like that.

Beside them, the grappling hook that had been attached to the wall also vanished, turning into blue magical light spots.

Just as Chen's attention was focused on the Unbreakable Sacred Saint, Shirou leaped off the building, ran all the way to the next corner, and then Projection a grappling hook to leap directly onto the high-rise building.

Thanks to Ansuo's constant use of his grappling hook, Shirou was able to escape unscathed.

However, the kind of operation that allows one to "hook up to a high-rise building" is probably something that even Ansuo himself couldn't do.

This was all thanks to the Reinforcement Magic.

"I'm very angry. I suggest you change your clothes later. The opponent's fighting skills are also very strong. At least in Lungmen, very few people can fight her openly."

Seeing that the crisis was over, Isv finally relieved and joked.

At the same time, she manipulated the screen to eliminate any clues related to Shirou, and also destroyed the box she had just given Shirou.

The box has the Penguin Logistics logo and Shirou's fingerprints on it, which definitely needs to be removed.

"I feel like my boss said something similar to me, right? There's a light side and a dark side. What exactly is the dark side? Is it related to this disappearance case?"

As he watched the other person walk away, Shirou asked Is Isv question.

If he remembered correctly, the boss had said something similar when he pulled him aside during a previous dinner party.

He is very strong, even on the surface in Lungmen.

The word "openly" is enough to explain a lot.

Where there is light, there is darkness, and the Isv and Is always emphasizing the light.

So what exactly does that dark side refer to? Shirou was a little curious.

"The dark side... refers to some hidden forces. It's not appropriate to say much about what happens there, but one thing is certain: they will definitely not be detrimental to Lungmen."

Isv said a few things, mainly to calm Shirou down and prevent him from focusing on this.

Although Shirou's combat skills and abilities should be enough to rival these people, there's no need to provoke them.

Let's talk about it when the boss gets bombed.

"Lungmen is really complicated, and your way of speaking is also complicated."

Shirou complained, "What's with all this talk about the obvious and the hidden? It's made me think so much."

So, it turns out to be some hidden forces?

He knows this very well; the Holy Grail War is also hidden in the shadows.

They just use gas explosion as an excuse when something goes wrong.

"There's no way around it. If we're too explicit, it's easy to get into trouble, especially for people like us who know a lot of information."

Faced with Shirou's sarcastic remarks, Isv waved his hands to indicate that he couldn't do anything about it.

People who know a lot of things don't talk about what they know all the time; they just say it directly.

Doing so might inadvertently reveal a lot of information to others.

This is especially true for people like them who work in intelligence and know many secrets.

"So that's why you tell riddles?"
