Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 488 Matou Father and Son
How can a few undead make the house vibrate?

There is only one answer - it is the room itself that vibrates!
By looking at the one in the room just now, Nozomi Arakawa understood one thing. Although these mansions are connected together from the outside, the rooms inside are all independent individuals.

The old guy Matou Zouyan uses insect magic to drive the engraving worms to move, and these independent rooms will be moved together by the engraving worms, which is why when he killed Matou Zouyan's double before, the room Engraving worms will emerge from various places.

They were not summoned, but were originally kept in the corners of these rooms, acting as "lubricant" and "porter".

Overall, it's a rather deceptive gimmick.

The entire mansion can be said to be the organ of the "worm".

The bugs came to carry everything, and Zouken Matou could do nothing more than fiddle with the stairs and corridors.

However, it is precisely because the landmarks such as stairs and corridors are easier to attract attention, so once the thoughts are guided by them, the maze cannot be solved.

In other words, the essence of this maze... is the operation of hundreds of millions of bugs.

Nozomi Arakawa took an engraving worm from the body of the undead that had just been knocked down.

He pinched the engraved insect that was constantly twisting, and then used force between his fingers...

The body of the engraved worm has flattened visibly to the naked eye, and even the existence of extremely thin bones can be felt inside. This kind of toughness further proves that the engraved worm can survive even in a space of only one centimeter.

After trampling the engraving worm to death with one foot, Nozomi Arakawa hurried back to the original place.

This ridiculous maze has been seen through by him at this moment.

But to see through is to see through, but he doesn't have a good way to crack it.

If you have to say it, there is only one thing that a person who doesn't know magic can do...

That is destruction!
He raised the knife in his hand and slashed through the wall with a domineering strike.

Since the room is moving, it is only necessary to lure out the engraving worms responsible for moving the room.

This way the room won't move anymore.

With the destruction of the wall, a large number of engraved worms rushed out like a tide, and even drowned the new batch of undead summoned by the spell in the corridor, even the bones were eaten away.

Nozomi Arakawa played a game of grilling bugs with a blowtorch.

When the air was filled with the smell of coke, the whole house fell silent.

It wasn't that Nozomi Arakawa killed all the engraving worms, such a huge amount, even if it was burned all night, it might not be able to be removed.

The bugs stopped operating by themselves. After the control effect of magic weakened, the survival instinct of the creatures took over, so the maze stopped operating.

Without much effort, he found the kid hiding in the room of the West Pavilion.

Nozomi Arakawa dragged the shivering little boy out.

"Hey, head kelp, do you know the way?"

"Yeah!" The little boy screamed, "I, I don't know!!"

"You don't know?" Arakawa Wang frowned, "What's your name?"

"Ma, Matou Shinji."

Under the threat of Nomo Arakawa, the little boy trembled and said his name.

Although Nozomi Arakawa didn't say any threatening words, just that serious face, the knife in his hand, and the scorched bugs all over the ground... These are enough for the young Shinji Matou It has impact.

"Since you're from the Matou family, you must know the family well, right?"

"No, I don't know, don't kill me, I don't know!"

Arakawa thought for a while, and a good idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Hey boy, where's your mother?"

"No, no."

"No mother?" Nozomi Arakawa lowered his voice, "What about your father, should he be at home? Don't make a sound, just nod or shake your head."

Matou Shinji nodded desperately.

"Very good." Nozomi Arakawa grabbed him.

"Don't! Don't kill me! Dad, save me!!"

"Listen up," Nozomi Arakawa turned up the volume, "Matou Shinji has abandoned you, if you don't come out, the blood of the Matou family... will be gone."

The third door ahead was opened.

"Stop, stop!" A man who was also headed by a purple-haired kelp plucked up his courage and came out from behind the door, "What do you want to do?"

Arakawa looked at Matou Shinji in his hand, and thought that this look was his own.

"I'm Matou Heye, the contemporary head of the Matou family, if you have anything, come to me!"

"Very well, if you don't want your son to die, just do as I tell you."

"What do you want?" Matou Tsuruno said, "Money?"

"Shut up, no wonder Matou Zouken doesn't want to see his son so much, because neither you nor Kariya seem to have the ability to inherit the Matou family's magic."

"That fellow Kariya... is just a scum..."

"Shut up, you know what happened to Sakura in the worm warehouse, right?"

"Know, so what? I didn't throw her in."

Snapped!
Heye received a knee to the face, causing nosebleeds and tears.

Arakawa thought that this was considered light-footed, otherwise Kariya would have found it difficult to even stay awake.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, where is Zong Yan's true body?"

"How could I possibly know?"

"Aren't you the head of the house?"

"It's just a name!" He Ye said, "I don't even have a magic seal on me! Zouken has lived for hundreds of years! How could he be willing to give me the magic seal of the Matou family? That person The only thing in his eyes is to survive, and he will do whatever it takes to survive!"

"Forget it, let me put it another way, do you know the Matou family?"

"Of course, what nonsense are you talking about, this is my home."

"Damn it, keep your mouth clean!" Nozomi Arakawa gave another neat knee strike.

"Ahem... it hurts, it hurts..."

"The understanding I speak of is not simply knowing where the bathroom of this house is. Zouken Matou, what kind of workshop does he have, or other secret rooms."

"I-I know two of them. One is in the piano room of the East Building. I once watched Zou Yan go there with my own eyes. Once I wondered if the old man could play the piano and followed him. But wait When I entered it, he was nowhere to be seen."

"The other one is in the leftmost room of the east hall. There is a door on the right wall, from which you can reach the back garden. There is a secret living room in the back garden, but the old man never allows us to go in... maybe you can Go there and have a look?"

"It's very cooperative. It's almost the same as the information provided by Kariya. The last thing, what about Tohsaka Sakura?"

"Kariya?" Tsuruno was taken aback.

"Shut up and answer my questions obediently, or your son will die."

"No! I don't know that girl, isn't she sleeping in her room?"

"Very well, now that the Matou family's house is distorted like this, you should have a way to restore it?"

Heye nodded.Although he has no talent in magic, he still knows how magic works.

As long as the magic formula is reversed and the bugs move in the opposite direction, the Matou family will naturally return to their original state.

After Matou Heye finished the operation, he knocked the father and son unconscious and threw them into the room.

"It seems that Sakura was kidnapped by the old bug. I knew she should be transferred first. But anyway, since I invaded, Matou Zouken will not give up. This maze is used to delay time. He should be in the labyrinth. Prepare to deal with me in a certain way... Then, let's go to the piano room he mentioned first, if Kariya's information is correct, then this old man must have left traces somewhere."
