Emiya, who only saw her back, had no idea what her expression was when she looked at Suma. However, what is certain is that this courtesan has an extremely important status and position here, and even the brothel owner has to show her respect. "It's great if Xianghui is okay. I was really worried that she would get lost in the crowd." Watching Asakusa Kae and Yatamahime gradually walk away, Emiya breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt that there were too many problems, it was a good result in the end. He was not very interested in this courtesan, even though the madam's attitude towards her was strange. Emiya is not a person who likes to explore other people's secrets. There are all kinds of people in this world, some are kind and some have bad personalities. He will not judge others by his own standards, nor will he demand others to meet his own standards. Emiya will not interfere in other people's world, he will only do his best to prevent people around him from crying. It's like Emiya would stop Shinji from harming the people around him, instead of choosing to find a way to change Shinji's mind. Seeing them leave, the brothel owner beside him was still criticizing Suma who was sitting on the ground crying.
"Since Miss Xianghui is alright, I will take my leave now." Having confirmed what happened to Xianghui, Emiya had no intention of staying here any longer. The brothel owner wanted to keep Emiya, but after he finished speaking and expressed his gratitude, he quickly left Tokito's house. As a student who has just entered high school, Emiya thinks it would be better for him not to go to places like this all the time. . . . . After a while, Emiya returned to the door of the restaurant. At this time, the passage on the second floor was open. It seemed that the boss had no intention of locking Emiya outside for a whole night. While recalling what happened today, Emiya took out the key from his pocket and opened the door to his residence on the second floor. There are two layers of defense on the second floor of the restaurant. One layer is that if you need to go to the second floor, the boss must open the door to the second floor, and the other layer is the keys in the hands of some employees. However, this door is of no use to Emiya. With Emiya's physical fitness, he can directly climb the wall back to his room. But Emiya usually doesn't do that. "Let's go check on Xianghui tomorrow." He was not sure whether Xianghui would continue to be abused. On the surface, this Yazhuji did not seem to be a cruel person. But judging from the brothel owner's poor expression management, there are indeed some problems. He could only hope that nothing would happen to Xianghui. He really had no way to deal with such a thing. Just like Shinji and Sakura, Emiya also has no way to keep Sakura by his side and prevent her from going back to contact Shinji. He also often saw wounds on Sakura's body from Shinji beating her. Thinking like this, Emiya practiced strengthening magic and projection magic for a while with self-discipline. After feeling the breathing of the wind, he quickly fell asleep. The night passed quietly. But such a quiet night is unusually restless for many people. The morning sun is as warm as ever. Every time I am exposed to the morning sun, it feels like a newborn baby being held in its mother's arms, as if a pair of invisible hands are caressing my face, making me unable to help but crave this feeling.
There is almost no creature that would refuse to bask in the sun, right? At this time, a resident lying on the bed rubbed his eyes, seeming to be very confused about the sudden warmth. He remembered that he had drawn the curtains because after last night's party, he just wanted to have a good sleep. But the dazzling light made him only able to open his eyes in drowsiness. "Who turned on the light so early in the morning? Ha~" A resident yawned loudly, rubbed his eyes, and sat up from the bed. “Fuck!” "This... I am not dreaming!" He slapped himself hard! "It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! This isn't a dream!" "Oh my God!" At this moment, he didn't care at all about his red cheeks that were slapped by himself. What he saw in front of him was enough to make him fall into deep shock. The resident was seen bathed in sunlight, and in front of him was a very large circular flat area. It was just like the Konoha Village that had been conquered by Pain, Shinra, and Tenma. It was empty and deserted. This vacant lot should have been the so-called residential area last night, with various houses originally located in it. And this resident who was a little luckier happened to be at the edge of this circular area. He could see the smooth marks beside his bed, which did not look like they had been cut, and there was no dirt or sawdust flying around. The rising sunlight quickly filled the entire open space. More and more residents who woke up saw this horrifying scene. No one knows where the residents who originally lived in their own houses will go. Chapter 22: Infiltrating Members Openly "Have you heard that the residential area in the northern district was razed to the ground overnight?" "I heard that someone over there angered the gods, and they brought down divine punishment!" "No, no, no, I heard it through the grapevine. The authorities were researching new weapons over there, but they couldn't control it and the leak was leaked!" "Could it be a ghost?" The first three people looked at the fourth person with contempt. The look in his eyes revealed something - what is this person releasing? "Hey, should we go take a look?"
"Forget it. If this thing is involved, you will suddenly disappear from your side." "Hey! Stop talking. I heard that the hundreds of people who disappeared over there haven't been found yet. Fortunately, most of the people were in the parade last night. Otherwise, thousands of people might have disappeared." After looking down on the fourth person, they continued discussing among themselves as if nothing had happened. In the restaurant, which had few customers due to this incident, Emiya, who was serving the dishes, also heard about this from them. Normally, Emiya usually stays in the kitchen, but because the number of customers has decreased significantly today, Emiya served the dishes as a waiter for the first time in a long time. "Ghost?" Emiya took off his work clothes and packed them up, preparing to head towards the north district. The incident happened not long ago, and there may be some clues left at the scene. And those people just disappeared, it cannot be concluded that they are dead. If we act quickly, there may still be hope of saving them. Hundreds of people, those are all living lives! Shirou couldn't imagine how those powerless people would be treated by demons. Ghosts never regard humans as human beings. To ghosts, humans are just a kind of food. "It has to be as fast as possible!" Emiya was extremely anxious, and now he was racing against time. The sooner he found them, the more people he could rescue. Maybe those hundreds of people all died last night, but at this stage they are just missing. People always have to hold on to a glimmer of hope, right? He ignored his boss's attempts to stop him and rushed out of the store towards the north area. Although Emiya's main living area is near Yukaku, this town is not very big and is far smaller than Fuyuki City. It took Emiya a total of three days to tour the entire town and he also drew a map himself. After all, there is no mobile navigation here, and you can only get to many places by asking for directions yourself. Emiya controlled his breathing rhythm and jogged. Youguo was still some distance away from the North District, and he also had to save his energy to deal with emergencies. During this time, Emiya also took the opportunity to activate his magic circuit. He had been troubled by the problem of activating his magic circuit. If he encountered a ghost suddenly like before, he might not even have the chance to activate his magic circuit and would be killed by the ghost. The movement speed of these disgusting creatures is not to be underestimated. At least before projecting the Sun Blade, Emiya can only defend passively. He must find the corresponding opportunity to take the initiative to attack. "Hina, Hinazuru, is this really caused by a demon? Is this the upper rank that Uzui-sama mentioned?" Suma stood next to the hole, her legs and feet felt a little weak, she couldn't believe the scene before her. Such a large area just disappeared like that. If she was there at the time, she might have disappeared without a trace just like those residents. “This is really——” Standing next to Suma was a woman wearing a kimono with purple pupils, black hair in a ponytail, and a teardrop mole under her left eye. She clenched her fists tightly. Such a huge formation took place in front of them, but they were completely unaware of it. This was simply an insult to the ninjas.
"Pass the news here to your husband. He will make his own judgment. We still need to find out more information." Hinazuru dropped her tightly clenched hands fiercely. She now wanted to dig three feet into the ground to kill the ghost who made this piece of land disappear. But she knew that she didn't have that ability, and there were more important things waiting for her now. She had to find ways to obtain information to find this Upper Rank and hand it over to the Demon Slayer Corps. This was the safest approach. Don't let momentary anger delay the right thing. "Let's go. We need to work harder to gather intelligence, otherwise more people will be hurt!" Hinazuru suppressed the anger in her heart and prepared to return to Yuguo. But at this moment, Suma, who was standing nearby, exclaimed. "It's that boy!" Suma seemed to remember what happened yesterday and pointed at Emiya Shirou who was rushing over. "Emiya Shirou?" Standing on the other side of Hinazuru was a woman wearing a kimono with a single ponytail, golden bangs at the front and black hair at the back, looking at him with a questioning look. "Hey! Do you know that kid?" Suma was very surprised. However, Maki held his head and shook it, expressing his helplessness towards Suma's words. "Who in Yuguo doesn't know Emiya Shirou now?" "He is a famous person in Youguo. Not only does he cook delicious food, but he is also a kind person who is willing to help others without asking for anything in return. Basically, everyone who has lived in Youguo for a while knows him." "And you seem to have eaten a lot of the sushi he made!" Hinazuru pinched Suma's cheek. "You kept asking me when I could eat sushi like that again." "Hey! Did he make that sushi?" Suma was surprised once again. "But what is Emiya Shirou doing here? Is there any relative living here?" Maki stroked his chin and thought. "No, he came from somewhere else and has no relatives living in this area." Hinazuru shook her head to express her disapproval. "But, looking at the way he breathes, he can't be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps." Maki was half-bending over, watching Emiya running. Hinazuru also half-bent her body to observe, but she quickly came to a conclusion.
"No, he's not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. He probably just learned the breathing method by accident. His current breathing method is not perfect, so it's impossible for him to perform breathing method moves." "Forget it, why should we care about these things? Let's quickly pass this information here to the Demon Slayer Corps!" Maki shrugged his shoulders and prepared to jump off the roof. "Maki, Maki, did he see us?" Suma pointed at Emiya in the distance with some fear.
