Sola couldn't help but have a flash of doubt in his eyes, because he didn't recognize the strange black-haired woman in front of him, and he didn't know the reason why she wanted to attack him.
The strange woman in front of him thrust the still warm muzzle of the sniper rifle into her face. The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke made Sora burst into tears. She even forgot about the magic she was wearing to counterattack.
She was just trembling in front of this weapon that could take her life at any time.
But this can't be blamed on her. The spoiled eldest lady usually only studies the political struggle in the clock tower. She has never systematically learned the fighting skills. She has no idea at all how to deal with attacks.
"I ask and you answer. If you refuse, I will shoot."
………
Kuu Maiya looked down at Sora on the ground. She had seen Sora's information in the information left by Emiya Kiritsugu, and tracked it all the way here through her familiars. If nothing unexpected happened, this place should be theirs.
New stronghold.
A large-caliber sniper rifle would be fatal even if it hit a person's torso, so she aimed at Sora's legs to make her lose her ability to resist without losing her life.
She still needs to ask this woman about Kiritsugu's whereabouts. If she refuses to cooperate, Kuu Maiya is already prepared to torture him to extract a confession, but this will definitely not be pleasant for Sora.
Experienced.
"Ohhhhh..."
Under the threat of the gun, Sora could only lower his voice and sob. His delicate makeup was stained by tears and snot, and his hair, as bright as flames, could not help but dim.
"Do you know Emiya Kiritsugu?"
Kuu Maiya asked calmly, while not forgetting to pay attention to the surrounding scene.
"I……"
Sora rolled his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted again by Kuu Maiya.
"Think carefully before answering. If you are not satisfied with the answer, I will cut off your limbs."
Kuu Maiya squatted down, roughly pulled Sora's right hand, then pulled out a sharp dagger from her waist, and stuck it to her white and smooth wrist.
The steel was so cold that Sola couldn't help but shudder, and all the little thoughts in his heart disappeared.
"I know."
"So he's still alive?"
"Alive."
"Where is he now?"
"Locked in the magic workshop, Kenneth said he was a magic spell worthy of study."
"Take me there. If you dare to play tricks, you know the consequences."
………
After tearing apart Sora's clothes, without caring about the cleanliness, Kuu Maiya simply and roughly tied up her left leg until its cross section disappeared. In order to prevent her from further blood loss, she also carried the semi-conscious Sora on her shoulders.
With her level, she could only tell that magic had covered the entire dilapidated factory, but she couldn't find any flaws, so she could only hope that the Sora on her shoulders would work and allow her to enter the factory safely.
He walked into the dilapidated factory uneasily, and the magic barrier used as a warning was not triggered. If a qualified magician came here, he would find that the barrier in front of him was too rough, except for a few warning spells.
Apart from this, there are no other techniques.
But Kuu Maiya doesn't know this, so she can only use the stupid method of taking Sora as a hostage.
"Where is Emiya Kiritsugu?"
She put the submachine gun against the back of Sora's head and asked in a low voice.
"Go straight through this corridor and then to the room on the right."
Sora said in a daze, even though he had done everything he could to deal with it, the broken leg was still bleeding.
Even a small sound in the empty corridor would be played loudly. Kuu Maiya walked carefully in it. The magician's workshop was not an exaggeration to compare with the dragon's pond and the tiger's den, so she was not allowed to be careless.
Borrowing Sora's hand, he pushed open the door to the room. In the depths of the dark room, the light from outside shone through the open door, illuminating the outline of the human figure hanging in mid-air inside.
Kuu Maiya's pupils shrank sharply. No matter how dim the light was or how far away the distance was, she would never mistake that person's face.
Sola on her shoulders was thrown aside like a broken sack. She walked forward quickly, staring at the completely naked man in front of her, and couldn't help but clenched her fists.
Emiya Kiritsugu's tough face was pale and distorted, which showed how much torture he had endured. The blood on his chest had condensed into scabs, and the hideous wounds that had been restored using magic could be vaguely seen. Almost the entire chest was cut open, and he would be freed from it.
On the tool on one side, you can see several removed ribs and some internal organs.
Kenneth was very interested in the origin bomb that could directly destroy the magic circuit. This was why he did not kill Emiya Kiritsugu immediately. However, compared with becoming a magician's experimental subject, death might be easier than living.
some.
………
"Kiritsugu..."
Kuu Maiya whispered Emiya Kiritsugu's name. She had never seen such a weak Emiya Kiritsugu. Even on the battlefield where there was a huge disparity in strength, he calmly made plans and then completed his goals.
"Kiritsugu..."
She called softly again, and at the same time carefully lowered Emiya Kiritsugu who was hanging in the air.
As if he heard someone calling him, Emiya Kiritsugu's eyelids trembled slightly, and finally slowly opened them, his empty shell-like eyes staring straight at the dark ceiling above his head, like a piece of cloth that had been torn.
Baby, it wasn't until Kuu Maiya's face broke into his sight that the pale color was tinged with color.
"Maiya..."
Emiya Kiritsugu groaned, feeling hot tears dripping down his face. His eyes reflected the tearful smiling face of Kuu Maiya, and then he was embraced into a warm embrace.
"Maiya, I, I failed..."
He took a deep breath, feeling the severe pain as the cold air flowed into his lungs. Only the real pain reminded him that he was still alive, and only this real pain kept him from completely falling into chaos.
Kuu Maiya just hugged him tightly and said nothing.
When she was helping Emiya Kiritsugu prepare to leave the room, she noticed Sora who was trying to curl up into a ball, looking at her with a pale face in fear.
Kuu Maiya looked at him coldly, pulled out the pistol from his waist, took off the safety device, and then aimed at Sora's forehead.
"You said you would let me go if you cooperate well!"
Her pale face flushed, looking at the black muzzle of the gun, Sola shouted at the top of her lungs, waving her hands desperately, her hair disheveled like a ghost climbing up from the bottom of a well.
"Sorry, you remembered it wrong."
Kuu Maiya expressionlessly pulled the trigger, and with the sound of gunshots, Sora's movements came suddenly like a doll whose clockwork had been broken.
The smooth forehead was pierced by the bullet she was extremely contemptuous of, and a mixture of red and white brain tissue spurted out from the hole in the back of the head, falling on the dusty wall behind her, leaving a cruel picture with life as ink.
Bang bang bang——
She fired several more shots at Sora's body, raking the vital parts of other parts, and then put down the gun after confirming that Sora was indeed dead.
"Let's get out of here, Kiritsugu."
Ignoring the already dead Sora, Kuu Maiya gently supported Emiya Kiritsugu, and the two staggered out of the dim factory. The moonlight stretched their shadows very long, and finally they met.
