Curse Back: From Demonic Hollow to Heroic Spirit Summoning.

Chapter 443: Confrontation in the Dark

Since the Kyoto sister school exchange meeting, which was full of twists and turns, came to an end, Yingzhi began intensive preparations.

After all, according to the original plot, after the exchange meeting in September ended, the next things to happen were the Eighty-Eight Bridge Incident and the Shibuya Incident.

However, to Eiji's surprise, not only did the Eighty-Eight Bridge Incident not happen this year because of his and Fushiguro Shige's intervention.

Even the Shibuya Incident, which was originally scheduled for October 10, was postponed.

Not to mention the death return tour that starts in November.

Normally, Yingzhi should be happy that these things that originally caused heavy casualties no longer happened.

But if possible, Yingzhi still hopes that they can appear according to the original timeline.

Because this means everything is knowable and controllable.

In the currently known plot content, Yingzhi has not suffered any losses. Instead, those beings that did not appear in the original plot caused him to suffer a lot of losses.

To this end, when October 10st passed smoothly and the sun rose on November 31st, Yingzhi took new actions.

80 dark figures left the college under the cover of night and headed for various parts of the country.

Hassan the Hundred Faces, an assassin that appears in Fate/zero.

He is the nineteenth leader of the assassination cult in the Type-Moon world who inherited the name of Hassan Sabbah. He possesses rich knowledge, skills and unpredictable assassination ideas, and is known as the Hundred Faces.

In fact, he is a person with multiple personality symptoms.

Hassan's Noble Phantasm, the Delusion, is also based on his multiple personalities. This Noble Phantasm disperses his many personalities (souls) to form independent individuals, up to 80 of them.

In a sense, these are 80 "sorcerers" who are very skilled in assassination and intelligence work.

The reason why he was summoned so late was actually related to Yingzhi's mentality.

Eiji, who was once in technical high school, had the same arrogance as Gojo Satoru, and firmly believed that he and his companions could use their strength to suppress all disobedience.

At that time, he did not pay much attention to "small paths" such as assassination, so when summoning the Heroic Spirit of the Assassin class, he chose Sasaki Kojiro instead of Hassan the Hundred Faces.

Now, after experiencing more and with a different mentality than when he was a teenager, Yingzhi has begun to face up to various forces and the roles they can play.

Hassan the Hundred Faces is indeed a professional assassin.

Soon, the first piece of information reached Yingzhi.

"The curse masters are gathering?"

Yingzhi fell into deep thought as he looked at the information received.

The hundreds of Hassans scattered across the country have clear division of labor among each other. They also gather together regularly to share intelligence, or use roadside telephone booths to report their discoveries to the High Commissioner.

So they soon discovered the first situation that was different from usual.

The curse masters who had been scattered like rats because of Gojo Satoru and Eiji were now gathering together.

Hassan and his men have already found out the locations where more than a dozen Curse Divisions are gathered.

After thinking for a moment, Yingzhi gave an order.

Led by the heroic spirits Emiya and Chosho, a team of many elite sorcerers including Fushiguro Shiori, Nanami Kento, Haibara Kuma, Meimei and Kusakabe Atsuya set out.

Considering that this was a battle against humans, Yingzhi did not send out any students.

Even though many of these students are strong enough to join a team, or even serve as the captain of a team.

But if possible, Yingzhi hopes that they will never come into contact with this side.

After all, Eiichi still can't forget the lonely expression on Yuji Itadori's face when he killed an ordinary person transformed by a real person in the original work, as well as the expression he showed when he and Nobara Kugisaki became "accomplices" after the Hachijo Bridge Incident.

He felt that Yuji Itadori was not suitable for that kind of expression.

He also dislikes Yuji Itadori who keeps calling himself a gear.

In his opinion, little angel Tiger Stick deserves a better future.

The capture and annihilation of the Curse Master went smoothly.

After all, Yingzhi sent out three powerful men with special strength.

Once known as the weakest special grade, the expansion phase of the special grade floor tile was realized in the desperate fight with the noose.

Now it is also a qualified special grade.

During this period, reports of sightings of Abe Haruaki Shikigami were also delivered to Eiji by Hassan and others.

They knew that they were no match for these Shikigami, and if they set a trap, they might be able to kill one of them.

But there is almost no chance of winning in a head-on battle.

However, for Hassan and others, if they were forced into a situation where they had to fight head-on, that would be a failure for the assassins.

So in Fate/Zero, when Hassan the Hundred Faces was ordered to appear face to face with the three kings, no matter what the outcome was, they had actually already lost.

It was not until now that Eiji truly understood what a regrettable decision it was for Tōsaka Tokiomi to give up Hassan the Hundred Faces.

"Is this right here?"

Medusa, dressed in a dashing racing style, locked her motorcycle and walked to a corner that was only a shadow to everyone.

"Yes, the target is inside."

Although I couldn't see anything with my naked eyes, a pleasant female voice was heard.

A female Hassan with a purple high ponytail and wearing a white skull mask appeared in front of Medusa.

"I understand, leave it to me."

After saying that, Medusa strode into the alley.

The female Hassan waved her hand, and several imperceptible sounds appeared in the shadows.

A door deep in the alley opened at this time, and two figures, one tall and one short, walked out.

"This guy only has this little stock this time. It's really useless."

Jue, who is short and has a toad-like head, complained.

"Don't be angry, next one."

The ghost, who was tall and whose head took up almost half of his height, said.

"You're right, it's time to find the next one."

These two are the Shikigami Kaku and Oniichi who were recently recreated by Abe Haruaki in order to collect materials and cursed tools.

Although the two of them were blown to pieces by Altria's cannon before.

But from what Abe Haruaki said when he was fighting with many Shikigami, Eiichi realized something.

These shikigami are like heroic spirits. As long as Abe Haruaki (Heroic Spirits) is still there, they can be summoned again and again.

Therefore, after the attack on the high school ended, Yingzhi registered all the shikigami that appeared at the scene.

This is also the reason why Hassan the Hundred Faces can recognize Abe Haruaki Shikigami.

"Hmm? Found the target?"

Jue suddenly became aware of a strange voice in his heart and looked in the direction of the voice.

Medusa, dressed in black and with long purple hair, came into view.

"It's you!"

Jue immediately recognized the Medusa who defeated Bai Zangzhu, but it was too late.

The moment he saw Medusa, the petrifying magic eye was activated, and Jue found that his body was becoming increasingly stiff, and soon he could not move.

The same thing happened to Gui Yikou standing next to him.

"The rest is up to you."

Medusa put on the glasses with the magic eye killing function and left without looking back.

In the darkness, several Hassans appeared and carefully packed up the two shikigami and brought them back to the high school.
