"Old guy, you really are a traitor!" Ito Cheng said with a sneer, looking at the ruined Matou mansion in front of him.

After saying that, he stepped forward, passed through the yellow and white striped security barrier, and walked into the Matou mansion.

A few minutes later, Ito Cheng came to the well-preserved underground insect room.

Seeing the still empty underground worm room in front of him, Ito Cheng sneered silently, flipped his palm, and turned out several crystal gems, which he threw unceremoniously towards the ground of the worm room.

"boom!"

The violent explosion immediately reverberated throughout the worm room.

After completing the blow, Ito Cheng kept moving, and once again pulled out more gems, and launched an all-round and indiscriminate floor scrubbing attack on the entire insect room.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Ito Chengcai stopped his attack.

Only at this time, a large number of pits and dents appeared in the originally flat insect room, making the entire insect room look like a building in a battlefield, as if it had been covered by a large number of artillery fire.

"Boy, do you really want to kill them all?"

Then at this time, accompanied by a large number of pitch-black maggots gushing out from nowhere, an old voice sounded in the dilapidated worm room.

Then the maggots gathered and crawled together, forming a pitch-black column about half the height of an adult.Then Yi Ning, wearing an old-fashioned kimono.With a dead wood hand stick in his hands, the strange-looking Matou Zouyan appeared in the worm room.He looked directly at Ito Cheng standing on the stairs leading to the top with a gloomy expression, his eyes glistening with coldness.

"For me, you are a factor of instability. Unless..." Ito Cheng said softly.

"...You can still recall your original ideals." The conversation changed, and he continued.

Hearing this, Matou Zouyan's body trembled, and an expression of reminiscence showed on his face involuntarily.

"...Is it ideal..." Matou Zouyan murmured.

Don't look at Matou Zouyan's current behavior, he is neither human nor ghost, his mind is abnormally twisted, he looks like a monster.But when he was young, he was also a promising young man with great ideals.Try to eliminate all evil in the world!It's just that the more he found out that this dream would take a lot of time, and he himself was going to run out of oil, so he tried his best to prolong his life, and finally went astray due to various influences, forgetting He fulfilled his dream and became a monster who only knew how to pursue immortality.

"Maybe you should go see the Holy Maiden of Winter again." Ito Cheng said again.

"The Holy Maiden of Winter..." Matou Zouken showed a strange look on his old weird face.

Obviously, this old guy has a strange feeling for the Winter Maiden.

"She has been martyred. Unless I reach the root, I will never see her again." A moment later.Matou Zouken who came back to his senses said in a melancholy tone.

"No, you can, and right now." Ito Cheng said quietly.

"En?" Jiantong Zouyan's eyes lit up, revealing a hidden look of hope.

"Although the Holy Maiden of Winter achieved the Holy Grail system with her own martyrdom, her consciousness has not completely disappeared, but has remained as the core of the Holy Grail system. As long as her consciousness is stimulated with an appropriate method, she will emerge from a deep sleep. Wake up in the middle of the night." Ito Cheng explained.

"At least during the Fourth Holy Grail War, I saw her."

For added shock.Ito Cheng told what he did during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"Really?" Matou Zouken, who had forgotten what it felt like to "believe" because he had lived too long, said suspiciously.

"She's there. If you don't believe me, you can verify it." Ito Cheng smiled lightly.

"...You should have come to kill me, why did you tell me these things?" Jiantong Zouyan was silent for a moment with flickering eyes, and asked with some confusion.

"Because of your current state." Ito Cheng said, looking at Matou Zouken's body.

"Indeed, I can kill you here, but I can't guarantee whether you have other backhands left behind. Although I also have props that can track your breath in my hand, I always say to you as a great magician, I don't think the effectiveness of that thing can last long, rather than being remembered by you who is hiding in the dark, it is better to let you kill yourself willingly."

"..." Jiantong Zouyan remained silent.

"What will happen to Shen Er?" After a while, I don't know if it was because those few words stimulated him to retrieve something, but Matou Zouyan was surprisingly concerned about Matou Shinji's condition.

"After confirming that the brain worm in his body is self-destroyed, I will let him go, and even help him inherit the inheritance of your Matou family."

Speaking of inheritance, although the Matou family has not been famous for a long time, as a family that has been run by the old monster Matou Zouken for hundreds of years, the capital behind it is very huge, and there is even a management team hired by Ito Naruto to take care of it. The Tohsaka family business is somewhat inferior.

"...If what you said is true, no matter what the result is, I will not trouble you or the people around you." Matou Zouken said.

Even if Ito Cheng ignored it, his body turned back into a pile of maggots, crawling and moving towards the surrounding ground gaps.

"You'd better hurry up, because I plan to completely end this Holy Grail War in three days." Looking at the pitch-black maggots all over the place, Ito Cheng reminded.

Matou Zouken didn't answer, and the bug quickly disappeared from Ito Cheng's eyes.

……

Liudong Temple, in the large underground cave where the Holy Grail system is located.

A bunch of pitch-black maggots squeezed out from an unknown gap appeared in the cave, and quickly crawled towards one place, where they gathered into groups.The pile crawled into a heap.

Then, the state of the pile changed.It changed into an old man in an ancient kimono. ——It was Matou Zouken.

"This is the first time I have stepped here in more than 200 years since that time." Looking at the bright red glow on the cave floor.Matou Zouken said in a low voice full of nostalgia for the scarlet magic array that looks like the spread of human blood vessels.

"Holy Maiden of Winter, how about coming out and meeting me?"

Responding to his, unchanging world.

"It seems that I slept too hard and forgot the voice of my old friend. But it doesn't matter, I will remember it for you, Justisa." Matou Zouken said with a low smile.

Immediately, he lightly lifted the crutch in his hand and knocked it heavily on the ground.

"Boom!"

A wave of microwave ripples instantly spread around the crutches, colliding with the brilliance of the magic circle in a blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards.The bright red magic light flickered in vain, flickering indefinitely.

"Isn't that enough..." A few minutes later, Matou Zouken, who still hadn't seen the Winter Maiden, murmured in doubt and disappointment.Then he picked up the crutch again, and hit the ground hard.

"Boom!"

Another microwave ripple spread out immediately.

And this time, the magic circle, which has not changed much, finally has some differences.I saw that in the magic circle, a large number of photon particles emerged from the magic circle, floated into the air, and then quickly flew to the center like moths to a flame, gathering into a ball.Then there was a sudden light, from which appeared the Saintess of Winter wearing the clothes of the sky——Justesa Lizleich von Einzbern.

"Justisa!" Matou Zouken called out emotionally when he saw the Winter Maiden appearing in the magic circle.

Perhaps hearing the call, the Holy Maiden of Winter, who had kept her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes.

"Justisa..." Matou Zouken called softly with an inexplicable tone.

"Are you... Zou Yan?" Looking at the strange image of the old man.The Holy Maiden of Winter shouted hesitantly.

"Yes, it's me. Long time no see, Justesa." Matou Zouyan forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart.

"How did you become like this?" The Winter Maiden asked.

"I..." I heard the inquiry of the Winter Maiden.Jiantong Zouyan opened his mouth, but he still couldn't tell the reason why he became like this.Finally, he fell silent with a gloomy expression.

"Is it for that ideal?" The Holy Maiden of Winter guessed in a good direction.

As a martyr for her ideals, she instinctively believed that her friend back then was the same person as her.So even if the form has changed and is no longer the same as before, she still believes that everything Matou Zouken does is for that ideal.

"...Ideal..." When Ito Cheng mentioned it, Matou Zouken, who was talking about ideals with him, Tohsaka Nagato, his daughter, and the Holy Maiden of Winter when he made the Holy Grail system, appeared more clearly in his mind He repeated in a low voice with a dull expression on his face, and at the same time, he began to feel an uncontrollable strong sense of disgust towards himself.

"What have I been doing all these years!"

It can be said that even without Ito Cheng's previous persecution, Matou Zouken, who has begun to feel self-loathing towards himself, will finally choose to be completely self-sufficient and end this dirty life.

"...Zouken, have you fallen too?" Seeing Matou Zouken's strange performance, the extremely intelligent Winter Saintess asked softly, not understanding what had happened.

"Yes, I've fallen too." Zouken Matou, who felt more self-loathing in his heart, said with a wry smile with tears streaming down his face.

"Then, Zou Yan, do you still remember the ideals in your heart?" asked the Holy Maiden of Winter.

"I might have forgotten it before, but now, I've remembered it. Justisa." Matou Zouken replied with a hearty smile that didn't match his figure and temperament.

"It's just a pity, it's too late, I don't have time to finish him anymore."

"As long as you think about it, it's not too late." A faint smile appeared on the face of the Holy Maiden of Winter, and she said softly.

"Really? That's good, that's good." Jiantong Zouyan repeated as if he had been redeemed.

"Zou Yan, I'm very glad to meet you after hundreds of years. I'm going back." At this time, the Holy Maiden of Winter said softly.

"Okay." Matou Zouyan smiled.

"Goodbye, my friend, Zouyan."

As soon as the words fell, the glorious image of the Winter Maiden exploded, turning into a large number of photon particles and slowly melting into the air.

Then the underground cave turned back to the original bright red space.

"Goodbye, Justesa, I'm going back to my roots too, I hope we can meet again there..." Matou Zouken looked at the place where the Winter Maiden disappeared with his eyes as if he could see time and dimensions, whispered softly.

"...Shen Er, the Matou family will be handed over to you. All these years, it is Grandpa who has been sorry for you..."

After all, Matou Zouken's body collapsed, and suddenly exploded into a pile of pitch-black, foul-smelling liquid, splashing all over the underground space.

At the same time, in a house somewhere in Fuyuki's room.

"Master Cheng, Shinji Matou's heart and brain have self-destructed." Caster, who suddenly felt something, turned his head and reported to Ito Chenghui at the side.

"Are you dead..." Hearing this, Ito Cheng breathed out lightly and said in a low voice.Then he raised his head and said to the caster, "Medea, take out the Holy Grail fragment from Matou Shinji's body, then modify his memory, and put him back."

"Yes, sir." Caster lowered his head and responded.

Then Ito Cheng didn't stay in the room for too long, turned around and walked out.

So far, a generation of worm art masters, the great magician Matou Zouyan has declared his death, and the Matou family has ushered in a new era...

Three days later, Matou Shinji was handed over to the professional managers in charge of the management of the Tohsaka family's property, and Ito Cheng, who was helping to deal with the inheritance of the Matou family's estate, brought caster and rider, and Saber San who had been rehabilitated Together they came to the Einzbern Castle in the Fuyuki Forest.

"It's really a rare visitor. I didn't expect you to come here." Ilya said, walking along the wide stairs to the hall.

"Arrange a clean room." Ito Cheng, who ignored Illya, asked directly.

"Hmph." Seeing this, Illya snorted angrily, turned her head and told the maid standing at the foot of the hall, "Lijie Lite, arrange a clean room for them."

"Yes." Lijielit leaned forward and replied.

"Several, please follow me." Lijie Lite invited.

Ito Cheng did not hesitate, and walked deep into the room with caster, rider, saber and Illya who followed spontaneously.

A few minutes later, a group of people came to a clean room.

"Illya, let her go out, and then tell people not to disturb, I'm going to treat you here." Ito Cheng, who probably glanced at the situation in the room, said to Illya.

"Uh... how are you going to treat me?" Illya asked strangely.Lijie Lite on the side also cast her curious eyes on Ito Cheng.

"Just like when you treated your mother back then, I will replace a heart for you." Ito Cheng raised his hand and showed Illya a light blue medical box in his hand.

"However, you are luckier than your mother. When I treated her, everything was simple. Even the heart was obtained and remodeled by me overnight... Now it is directly using your cell samples plus alchemy. As far as the effect is concerned, the heart that you don’t find randomly is much stronger, and there is no rejection reaction, and the reconnection of the magic circuit may be relatively high, so it’s not like your mother can’t even use a small magic after the operation.” (To be continued. continued..)
