Chapter 749

In the forest one kilometer away, Su Xiao observed the situation inside the castle through the scope.

Dozens of seconds later, a mechanical eye flew near him; it was the Apostle Eye that had completed the reconnaissance mission.

"Unexpectedly calm."

Su Xiao put away the Apostle Eye and checked the hidden mission information. Current number of surviving Masters: 1; remaining number of Command Spells: 27.

The number of Command Spells held by Kirei Kotomine was somewhat astonishing, totaling 27. Come to think of it, in the original work, Kirei Kotomine could use Command Spells as magic power supply during combat. If the number of Command Spells were small, he wouldn't dare to squander them like that.

【You have killed Emiya Kiritsugu.】

【Emiya Kiritsugu is a special plot character; obtained 3.1% of World Source. Total World Source obtained: 80.6%.】

Su Xiao was able to successfully snipe Emiya Kiritsugu, first because he had mastered the other party's location; all his previous actions were built on understanding the enemy's location.

Without the temporary detection ability, he wouldn't have been able to guess even if he racked his brains that Emiya Kiritsugu would hide in the Einzbern family castle.

There were many homunculus guards and magic traps inside the castle; even for Su Xiao, infiltrating it would require careful planning.

But why would Su Xiao need to infiltrate? He only needed to kill a mage. With the cooperation of the Apostle Eye (Light Gold) + Spider Queen (Dark Purple) + Firearms Mastery (Lv. 30), Emiya Kiritsugu died.

Emiya Kiritsugu did not die unjustly. To quickly resolve him, Su Xiao spent precious stay time observing the terrain near the castle, taking 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Afterwards, he set up a sniping position and cleared the surrounding alchemical creatures used for vigilance. Clearing these alchemical creatures was not an easy task; he couldn't kill them directly, as the risk of being discovered that way was too high, and he also had to ensure they lost their mobility. This took a total of 3 hours.

After doing all this, Su Xiao still had to ensure whether Emiya Kiritsugu was still staying in the castle. To confirm this, he spent 1 hour and 23 minutes.

Afterwards, it was the ambush and waiting time, and all of this was for those 4 shots. To be safe, he killed Emiya Kiritsugu within 4 bullets; otherwise, he might have to fight Saber head-on. Su Xiao didn't want to experience the feeling of being slashed by an EX-rank holy sword, so he didn't give Saber a chance to act.

Su Xiao gave Saber a multiple-choice question: if she chose to pursue him, Irisviel would die; if she didn't pursue, she could save Irisviel's life. Obviously, the upright Saber chose the latter.

Su Xiao stood up from the ancient tree, pulled the Spider Queen's bolt, and ejected the bullet from the chamber.

Jumping down from the tree, Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, stepped forward, and the man and dog quickly disappeared into the forest.

The long blade slowly left the sheath. The speed of drawing the blade was extremely slow, and Su Xiao's aura became increasingly sharp.

Large-scale detection started. At the same time the detection started, the Large-scale Detection (Active Skill) in Su Xiao's skill list disappeared. This skill was very powerful, but it could only be used twice.

Through the information fed back by the large-scale detection, the last Master, Kirei Kotomine, was indeed in Fuyuki City, and his location was still slowly changing.

"Hmm? Unexpectedly smooth."

A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face; Kirei Kotomine was not far from him, at most no more than two kilometers.

Was this a coincidence? Did Su Xiao's luck suddenly explode? Not at all. It wasn't just Su Xiao looking for Kirei Kotomine; Kirei Kotomine was also looking for Su Xiao. Because of this, the distance between the two sides was so close.

Su Xiao traveled between the high-rise buildings of the city. He rushed straight across a road, stepping over the roof of a speeding car.

Bang!

A car accident occurred on the road Su Xiao passed through, and piercing horns sounded.

The distance of two kilometers was actually not too close, but Su Xiao was traveling at full speed; in this way, two kilometers was not far.

After sprinting through several blocks, Su Xiao stopped on a bustling pedestrian street. The pedestrian street was located near the city center of Fuyuki City. It was around 12 o'clock, and the pedestrian traffic could be imagined.

The Slaughter Short Knife appeared in Su Xiao's hand, and he hid this short knife inside his sleeve.

Mixing into the crowd, Su Xiao took out a disposable camouflage mask from his storage space. This thing was similar to a facial mask; it could simulate other people's appearances or randomly simulate appearances, belonging to high-tech products.

After putting on the camouflage mask, Su Xiao's appearance changed. Hesitating for a moment, he took out a backpack, carried it on one shoulder, and took out a pair of sunglasses from the bag.

Adjusting the disposable camouflage mask, putting on the bag, and wearing the sunglasses, Su Xiao's appearance looked very much like a tourist from out of town.

This kind of thing was completely second nature to Su Xiao. He had mastered these abilities when he was an ordinary person, and after becoming a Hunter, he could do even better.

Gradually restraining his aura, Su Xiao's violent aura completely disappeared. When a smile appeared on his face, he looked like a college student who hadn't graduated yet and hadn't fully stepped into society.

Everything Su Xiao did left Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was nearby, stunned.

"Go aside, your fur color is too obvious."

Ignoring Bubu Wang was very unconvinced and directly activated the "God-level" You Can't See Me.

You Can't See Me (Passive, self-comprehended skill): Ignoring Bubu Wang can hide according to any terrain. Existing hiding types: 864 (already increased by 186).

Ignoring Bubu Wang disappeared into the crowd. It wasn't invisible, but blended into this environment. In the eyes of others, it might be a Corgi, or it might be a Shar Pei, or simply a fat orange cat. In any case, it wasn't its original appearance, and it wouldn't attract anyone's attention.

Su Xiao looked around, and sure enough, Ignoring Bubu Wang had "disappeared." To be precise, he could no longer sense Ignoring Bubu Wang's aura.

The reason Su Xiao disguised himself was because Kirei Kotomine was on this pedestrian street. Because there were too many people on the pedestrian street, Su Xiao couldn't determine Kirei Kotomine's location for a while.

According to Su Xiao's guess, after Tokiomi died, Kirei Kotomine had likely become the Master of the King of Heroes.

If his guess was true, rashly sensing the other party now would only alert the enemy, causing Kirei Kotomine to use a Command Spell to forcibly summon the King of Heroes.

Su Xiao couldn't guarantee that he would win steadily in a fight with the King of Heroes, so he chose a relatively safe method, which was assassination. This was an ability he was once very good at, but he hadn't used it for a long time after entering Reincarnation Paradise.

In fact, as an assassin, one doesn't need to have a piercing temperament. Those handsome, stylish, and high-profile killers in movies simply don't exist in real life.

The killers Su Xiao had seen were generally plain in appearance, polite and courteous in conversation, approachable in attitude, and seemingly very easy to get along with.

He had once known a killer whose daily job was a "polymer metal material positioning fusion master," commonly known as a welder.

That guy not only didn't have any so-called killing intent, but was humorous and witty in conversation. According to that guy, his previous job was "geographical exploration and phase excavation," commonly known as an excavator driver. Even more ridiculously, that guy also obtained a graduation certificate from Lanxiang Technical School, and what was even more outrageous was that it was a fake certificate. At that time, Su Xiao's expression could only be described as astonishment; the other party was simply a Husky among killers.

Just such a guy who once drove an excavator and then switched to a welder had at least 20 lives in his hands, and the deceased were either rich or noble.
