In the early morning, the port of Fuyuki City was damp and cold, and there were basically no traces of living people.
After all, a serious "gas explosion" had just occurred here not long ago.
Therefore, both the port management personnel and the police and fire agencies have completely sealed off the surrounding areas.
No one is allowed to come near until the exact cause is known.
In fact, since the start of Holy Grail, gas leaks and explosions have occurred in this city in an endless stream, and their frequency is almost as rare as diarrhea.
At its worst, the news was broadcast four or five times a day, and it was unclear whether the natural gas supply company would go bankrupt as a result.
Allen just wants to find out, shouldn't those churches and Maguss responsible for covering up the truth only know this excuse?
Thinking of this, he turned around and glanced at Uryuu Ryunosuke hanging at the highest point of the crane.
At this moment, this guy no longer looked like the "sunny boy" he usually was when he tortured women and children. Instead, he kept wailing in pain, and occasionally showed a twisted and morbid expression of enjoyment.
Because now, he was naked and a thick steel bar was pierced through the "back door" and then drilled out from his throat and mouth Barry.
That's right!
Allen deliberately imitated the method of impaling Archduke Vlad III and placed this perverted murderer near the port, hoping to attract French Marshal to sacrifice himself.
After all, this kind of torture can not only cause enough pain and visual impact, but also not cause too much damage to the main organs inside the body. Even if it takes a few hours, it will not die easily.
It is said that some masters who are proficient in this method can even make the victim scream for two or three days.
But unfortunately, he seemed to have overestimated the "friendship" that had just been established between the two.
It started at two o'clock in the morning, and now it's almost five o'clock, and it's even going to get light soon.
But Gil de Rey never showed up.
Either it is because this guy is hiding in the dark and making big moves, so he is not aware of the suffering that his Master is suffering;
Either this guy saw it but wasn't willing to take the chance.
No matter which one it is, it means the failure of the Lure Trap plan.
"Oh, does it come from mysterious magic? After this Holy Grail War is over, it seems that I have to find a way to go to Clock Tower and do some systematic study. Otherwise, the soul, memory and knowledge reserve of one or two Magus will not be enough to deal with these types and varieties of magic." Allen scratched his hair helplessly.
Obviously, the failure of Hunter Tracking's ability made him feel for the first time how difficult it was to find a target in the vast crowd.
In the past, he only needed to rely on the speed of Rumble-Rumble Fruit that was comparable to the movement of light, and drive a specific tracking to circle the area twice.
But now?
Faced with French Marshal hiding Dark Magic, he couldn't find any solution at all.
Although "Mantra" can theoretically cover the entire city, in reality it can only monitor the psychological activities of a few or even a dozen people at a time.
And when the total number exceeds 10,000, it will immediately fall into chaos, and there is no way to figure out who has been monitored and who has not been monitored.
Just when Allen was about to recover Uryuu Ryunosuke, a creepy shadow suddenly emerged from the sea, with the sound of a lot of water splashing, and landed directly on the empty pier.
This is a behemoth that is at least dozens of times larger than an ordinary sea devil!
But compared to the ultimate monster in the plot that covers almost half of the bay and possesses Infinity Regeneration Ability, it can only be regarded as a little brother.
I saw this sea demon coming to Allen at an extremely fast speed, slowly spitting out a photo covered in mucus from its big mouth full of fangs, followed by Caster's voice full of excitement and morbidity.
"Berserker! You must know the person in this photo, right?"
"What do you want to express?" Allen narrowed his eyes and asked.
Because on this photo are Aoi, Rin and Sakura, mother and daughter.
It's just that one third of the one belonging to Sakura was cut off by someone.
"Hehehehe! It's very simple! Exchange hostages! I know that the girl named Sakura is your Master, and you are very good to her, just like an elder brother cares for his sister or a father cares for his daughter. So you don't want a terrible tragedy to happen to her, do you?" French Marshal simply stated his intention directly.
He is not a fool!
Knowing that he could not take away Uryuu Ryunosuke alive in front of Heroic Spirit, the most powerful Holy Grail War in this year, he made a big circle and kidnapped the unsuspecting Aoi and Rin for a hostage exchange.
Of course, Tokiomi is to blame for all this.
If this guy hadn't kicked his wife and daughter out of the house, with French Marshal's strength, he wouldn't have dared to approach Tohsaka Main House who was protected by Magecraft Workshop.
What's more, there is also King of Heroes who comes with the Archer class - Gilgamesh.
But now, it all happens effortlessly.
"I need to see with my own eyes that they are safe and sound!" A cold light flashed in Allen's eyes.
Now he finally knows why when Fourth Holy Grail War is mentioned, everyone will say "everything is Tokiomi's fault" without thinking.
This guy is simply a model of success and failure!
Although it looks fancy on the surface, in fact every choice and decision is wrong.
Especially when he provokes Golden Flash over and over again, it's like dancing on top of Death's head.
Now, even the life safety of my wife and daughter cannot be guaranteed!
Apart from the word waste, Allen couldn't find any more appropriate words to describe it.
Hearing that the other party did not refuse immediately, French Marshal immediately let out a burst of harsh laughter. "Hey! Of course! I guarantee that they are all alive and kicking now. But since you are more dangerous, the method of exchange must be decided by me. First, I will bring Aoi, who is a mother, to exchange my Master with you. After we retreat to a safe place, I will ask the sea demon to send over another daughter, Rin."
"Do you think I will agree to such an exchange?" Allen asked with a sneer.
"It doesn't matter whether you agree or not! What's important is that you only have this choice! Either do it my way, or I kill the mother and daughter. As for my Master, although his death will make me feel very sad and sad, in order to achieve a greater goal, I can only make him sacrifice his life for it. I believe Ryunosuke will understand me!"
While saying these words, two large protruding eyes suddenly appeared on the tentacles of the sea demon, staring at the perverted murderous maniac above, and then the tears could not stop flowing.
Similarly, when Uryuu Ryunosuke saw this scene, he responded loudly without hesitation, "Do what you want to do! Don't worry about my life or death! Because I have found what I have been looking for!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... It's so touching! Don't worry, Ryunosuke, I swear I will do my best to rescue you." French Marshal controlled the sea demon while waving his hands and wiping his tears.
Gan!
You two perverted murderers with blood on your hands actually acted out a painful drama?
Did I go to the wrong set?
Allen A series of question marks suddenly appeared in his mind.
Now he looks like a villain in a literary film, who has just broken up a pair of special "lovers".
But soon, Allen cleared these messy thoughts from his mind, deliberately pretending to be unwilling and said, "Okay! I agree with your exchange method. But there is a condition. The first person to exchange must be the daughter, not the mother."
"Okay! Then let us exchange hostages here at midnight tomorrow. You'd better give my Master some treatment, otherwise he may not be able to survive that time."
After saying this, Sea Demon turned around and jumped into the harbor and disappeared without a trace.
"Kidnapping and hostage exchange? I seem to have underestimated the brains and IQ of these Heroic Spirit."
Allen murmured to himself, then took Uryuu Ryunosuke with him and returned to the top floor of the building where he lived.
As soon as his front legs left, a figure climbed down from the crane on the other side of the pier.
I saw this guy first patrolling carefully with the most advanced night vision device, and after confirming that no one else was present, he breathed a sigh of relief, put down the gun full of bullets in his hand, and whispered into the radio communication headset, "Kiritsugu! Berserker has left with Master, who is suspected of being Caster. Judging from their attitude, they seem to have reached some unknown deal."
"Trade?" Emiya Kiritsugu on the other side heard this and immediately became nervous. "What are the specific contents? Did they sign or exchange a binding contract, or something else?"
"Familiar controlled by Caster seems to have given Berserker a photo. As for the person in the photo, I can't see clearly because of the distance. As you know, Berserker's perception ability is too terrifying. I might be discovered by him as long as I get a little closer."
After that, a ray of moonlight shone on the face of this mysterious man, revealing the cold and emotionless face of Hisau Maiya.
"Continue to pay attention! Although Berserker has made it clear that he is not interested in Holy Grail, he is still the biggest variable in this Holy Grail War." Emiya Kiritsugu quickly gave instructions.
Hisau Maiya nodded without thinking, "Understood! I will continue to follow up. But be careful! I can feel that since King's Banquet passed, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Especially Tohsaka Tokiomi, who has never left the residence, seems to be a little unable to hold back and wants to take action."
"Don't worry! I have been keeping an eye on Tohsaka Tokiomi for a long time. Unless he hides in his residence all his life, he will become the target of my hunting once he walks out of the door. Holy Grail, which can fulfill all wishes, must belong to me. Because I will never allow it to fall into the hands of others!" Emiya Kiritsugu assured categorically.
