Kirei Kotomine remained silent, simply staring quietly at Gu Mo, who was obviously not here with good intentions.
At the same time, he was quickly contemplating the origins of his counterpart and how he could possibly deal with and suppress this situation.
But it was of no use. Gu Mo seemed to have already gleaned the answer he wanted from his silence, nodded lightly, and continued to ask, "So what exactly is the number?"
"..."
"In the past ten years, has no one really traced anything back to you?" freёweɓnovel.com
"..."
"Then how did you deal with those people?"
"..."
The atmosphere in the church was a bit eerie.
One side kept hurling questions, while the other wore a serious expression, stubbornly refusing to answer.
Yet this was as much as could be done. As a human, Kirei Kotomine couldn’t completely control his thoughts. The moment he heard the questions, his mind already conjured the information. Even though he subconsciously didn’t want to answer, he couldn’t stop his thoughts from associating...
It was like being told not to think of an elephant; the first thing that comes to mind is an elephant.
That’s the way it was. When asked a question, Kirei Kotomine’s mind unavoidably brought forth the answer. Meanwhile, the other party paired his questions with mind reading, peeling away layers of his thoughts with precision, extracting the intelligence they sought.
No matter how hard he tried to focus on more practical issues, simulating solutions to confront the opposite party, it didn’t cause any trouble at all for the extraction of his information.
No more questions were posed, and silence enveloped the church.
"Not here, what a pity..."
Gu Mo sighed gently. He had come straight over, full of action, intending to give that Heroic King a bit of dignity, but found nothing. Come to think of it, the Fifth Holy Grail War hadn’t started yet, so there was no way that guy would stay in Fuyuki City all the time.
He must have gone elsewhere for fun, only returning occasionally to replenish his magic power.
—So should Kirei Kotomine be kept for the time being?
—Or not alert him, and wait until Shiny Jin returns to strike them both at once?
He pondered the issue intently, resting his hand on his chin.
Just then, the priest opposite him flashed with a keen light in his eyes, suddenly pulling out black keys from the sleeves on both sides, three in his left hand, three in his right. In a flash, he was hurtling forward with the help of the wind! He believed this was the best chance, to strike with the speed of lightning!
In the dim church, sword edges were leaping.
The reflected cold light was blindingly sharp!
"Forget it..."
A voice abruptly sounded in his ears. The priest, who had just closed in on his target, barely had time to react before seeing the young man across from him raise his head, staring at him calmly.
Next moment, a fist came crashing down upon the priest’s skull from above.
Boom!!
A tremendous noise spread out, and the entire church, even the nearby ground, shook noticeably. Let alone Kirei Kotomine’s body; even the ground below was directly pierced, blowing apart like dandelions in the wind, smashing layer upon layer, penetrating the entire foundation!
Ultimately, the remains of Kirei Kotomine, completely unrecognizable as human—
were wholly compressed by the tremendous power, brutally smashed into the underground chamber below.
Violent dust swirled up, then was scattered by a shock wave akin to a massive explosion. Gu Mo was seen standing at the edge of a huge pit in the church’s center; the bottomless hole led to the deepest underground like a ground subsidence.
Soon enough, a pungent stench of corpses mingled with the scent of medicine wafted up from it. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
For below was a living hell, with countless coffins stacked upon each other. Surviving children from the fire ten years ago were trapped in specially treated coffins, having their life force extracted.
They had already become rotting corpses, yet lived on due to magic. Overly drained of magic power, their other bodily parts had withered and died, with the flesh beginning to decay, grotesquely resembling putrid masses, but with their "biologically alive" functions barely maintained.
Kneeling at the pit’s edge, the youth sighed once more, flicking his fingers lightly, shooting a ball of light into the deep darkness beneath.
Having done this, he stood up, turned, and walked out of the church’s door.
It wasn’t worth keeping him. First, kill this one; wait for the other to return and then kill him too.
......
...
According to the second name on the visit list, it was naturally Makoto Zouken.
Though disturbing him at such a late hour was admittedly abrupt, the elder should be content to have lived this long, a day or two won’t make a difference. Gu Mo left the hill where the church stood, finding a nearby place to purchase a wreath before heading towards the Old Capital...
Courtesy is crucial, as he is a person of principle, visiting requires a show of sincerity.
Not long after.
"Anyone there, anyone there! Come out, come out... A parcel for Mr. Makoto Zouken, please come to receive it!"
The door of the Makoto Family was knocked, and the person knocking seemed very impolite, banging on the door with a ’bang bang bang’.
