"More than fifty people disappeared in one day?"
The second king looked at the news on TV and frowned deeply. His wrinkles gathered together to form the Chinese character "Chuan" (川).
"Is there another evil follower this time?"
The existence of a follower itself had the characteristics of "soul eating", and it was possible to attack ordinary people. However, if the follower ate the soul, it was still possible to let these people go.
What was even worse was that one of the masters accidentally summoned a demonic creature that had a bad habit of eating humans. If that happened, the fate of these missing people would definitely not be any better.
And more than fifty people were kidnapped in one day. Who knew how many people would die in the mouth of that monster when the Holy Grail War was over.
"Is there any movement from the church?"
The king pondered, and his face showed a somewhat puzzled look.
The church was the supervisor of the Holy Grail War. When this kind of thing happened, it should come forward to mediate. After all, this kind of thing almost broke the hidden mysterious rules of the inner world.
However, according to the monitoring of the demonic servants, the church was silent. Let alone mediating, there was not even a little reaction.
"Master, what happened to those missing people?"
Grey looked at the king and asked. Looking at the red number on the TV, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"… During the last Holy Grail War, there were also cases of children going missing."
When the king said this, he couldn't help but pause a little, and his face showed an ugly expression as if he had eaten an expired can.
"As a result, most of those children were killed by a mentally abnormal follower."
He still remembered the scene he saw in the sewer of Fuyuki City.
Short limbs were scattered all over the ground, and internal organs were scattered all over the ground. The blood that flowed out formed several different-sized pools of blood. There were even half-grown children nailed to the frame, their bodies covered with knife wounds and bloodstains.
That scene was extremely horrifying. Just looking at it caused one's heart to turn cold. At that time, he, who was still young, couldn't help but vomit on the spot.
"Killed …!"
Grey's breathing stagnated, and she only felt dizzy. For a time, her heart became unusually heavy.
This time, in the Holy Grail War, would such a tragedy happen again?
"No matter what, there's no reason for us to sit by and do nothing about such crooked practices!"
King Edward II said decisively, "Be it from a personal or magic perspective, such a disturbance must be resolved as soon as possible. We can't allow them to continue doing whatever they want!"
"In a while, Rider and I will go out to investigate the missing persons case. I will leave the surveillance of the other servants to you, Ryuga, Grey."
Rider's mobility was very strong, and he could travel all over Fuyuki City in a day with King II. However, he could not stop monitoring the other subordinates. Anyway, they had a lot of combat power, so it was not a bad idea to split up.
Ryuga did not take the initiative to help investigate the missing persons case.
If King II or Grey were in trouble, he could help, but what about the others? I don't know him. It has nothing to do with me.
After breakfast, the second king left with Rider and headed to the city.
…
In Shengshan Town, with the shopping street as the dividing line, the south was the residential area of Yangfeng, while the north was the residential area of Mild Wind.
The so-called Mild Wind residential area naturally referred to the courtyard, with multiple buildings as the center, coupled with gravel, grass, water bowl, etc., giving people a sense of stability like a garden, full of Zen.
In the center of this residential area, there was a large, very spacious Mild Wind courtyard, and the owner's surname was written on the door, "Wei Gong".
Early morning.
Wei Gong Shiro woke up alone in the warehouse, and the first thing he saw was the dilapidated walls and the old machines of the warehouse.
The morning sun shone through the door and the window, accompanied by the sound of birds chirping.
His schoolmate, who usually came to his house to help with the housework, did not appear in his house today.
In fact, since yesterday morning, he had not seen her. After school last night, he also went to the Tong house to check, but it had become a ruin.
However, according to the police, no one was found in the ruins, including his schoolmate's family of three, disappeared without a trace.
"Where the hell did they go …"
The young man muttered absent-mindedly. Then, he stood up from the ground and moved his stiff body.
"Ding dong!"
The doorbell at the entrance suddenly rang, Wei Gong Shiro was surprised, then opened the warehouse door and walked in the direction of the atrium.
Standing at the entrance of the main courtyard was an old man that Wei Gong Shiro had met once before. He was wearing a dark kimono, and his figure was short and hunched. The hair on his head had long fallen off, and he was holding a walking stick in his hand.
"I remember you are … Sakura's grandfather?"
Wei Gong Shiro's spirit suddenly shook, and joy appeared in his eyes, "You're still alive, that's great, then are Sakura and Shinji also —?"
"Hmph, being worried by the boy of the Wei Gong family, this old man is really getting worse and worse."
The bald old man seemed to be in a bad mood, coldly snorting, "Sakura and Shinji are of course still alive, but as for how long they can live, this old man doesn't know."
"Eh?"
Wei Gong Shiro was slightly surprised, and a startled look appeared on his face, "This … What do you mean?"
"Rations."
The corner of Tong's mouth twitched, and he sneered with his leaky mouth, "If there's not enough food, of course there's no way to survive, right?"
"Is that so?"
Wei Gong Shiro heaved a sigh of relief, then he turned around, intending to take out some fast food.
"If you don't mind, Jiantong's grandfather, Sakura, and the others can all live in my house together, and we have enough food."
Because he had been worried all day, Wei Gong Shiro had just received the good news, and his heartstrings were loosened, so he did not notice the strange expression on the old man's face.
"That's great."
Looking at Wei Gong Shiro's back, the smile on Tong's face gradually widened, and a cold murderous intent appeared in his hale and hearty eyes.
"However, as for the rations, this old man will personally take them —"
"Hum —!"
The next moment, a large number of insects emerged from behind him, and they flapped their wings, attacking Wei Gong Shiro's back.
"Don't blame this old man."
Tong's mouth sneered, "After all, that monster's appetite is amazing, and the magician's soul can fill her stomach. If we don't do this, Sakura and Shinji will be eaten by her, and as a friend, you don't want to see that kind of scene."
"What kind of joke is this!?"
The moment he was attacked by the insects, Wei Gong Shiro reacted, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.
He did not understand what the old man was talking about, but at least he knew that his life was now in danger.
Facing the fierce attack of the insects, he almost did not think about it, and ran in the direction of the warehouse, hoping that the sealed warehouse could stop the insects' attack.
Unbeknownst to him, three scarlet Divine Marks had appeared on the back of his hand.
