Not scum not happy

The defensive positions outside the Tohsaka and Matou mansions are aimed at magicians.

If only relying on magic to break through this heavy defense, Kiritsugu would not be able to break through it for a year at the level of a magician; similarly, if the person trying to break in is just an ordinary person who doesn't know magic, even if it is 007 in the movie , I am afraid that it will soon be burned to nothing by the incredible automatic counterattack system constructed with magic.

Kiritsugu's luck lies in the fact that he is a heretic magician who has the strengths of both sides at the same time. He can not only see through magic traps, but also use much more convenient technological means to break them.

But Zongchun's luck lies in that he found Kiritsugu who can open the way.

To make a digression, magic is indeed much less convenient than scientific methods. It only costs 400 yen to buy a heater for heating, but if it is done by Tohsaka Tokiomi, you need to burn the magic power in the gem , and this will not last long, and the used gems will also be scrapped.

This is why Kiritsugu prefers to use technological means. With the same efforts, if magic can achieve 100 effects, then technological means can often easily reach 1000 or more.

But no matter what, this is the mansion of one of the three imperial families, after Kiritsugu passed all the traps, three hours have passed.

After using a glass cutter to cut a circle of window glass and open the latch, the big and small can finally enter the room.

Compared to Munejun, who seemed careless and defenseless, Emiya Kiritsugu was much more cautious.

Although it seems that there is no one here—otherwise he would not have allowed him to dismantle so many traps outside with violence, but just in case, Kiritsugu still had the mentality to bump into Tosaka Tokiomi and then fight Ready, ready to summon Command Spells at any time and Saber will fight.

However, when he opened the door leading to a certain dark room from the room he invaded, Kiritsugu smelled a familiar smell.

(This is……)

...the smell of blood.

"Snapped!"

Kiritsugu pointed his gun at the direction of the sound—Takano Munejun, who had just turned on the overhead light switch, shrugged at him indifferently, and then turned his gaze to the room.

From the surrounding furnishings, it can be seen that this is a living room. There are tea sets for two on the table, and there is a large pool of suspicious dark stains on the luxurious carpet in the middle.

Kiritsugu frowned, but since the light had been turned on, there was nothing he could do, he simply walked over, carefully inspecting the stain on the carpet by the light.

It was unmistakable, this was exactly a piece of blood that had completely dried up, because the pattern of the carpet was mixed with the warm yellow light, it looked slightly discolored, but of course Kiritsugu, who had experienced many battles, would not admit his mistake.

Judging from the size of the smudge, this is already enough to cause death.

——Thanks to a duo of dead ghosts, Zongjun is no stranger to bloodstains at all, unlike Kiritsugu who was still carefully checking around the mansion, when he saw the bloodstain, he was sure of his own guess.

There was no trace of a fight in this room, and the two cups of tea were enough to prove that the owner of the bloodstain was stabbed to death unprepared.

Now Tohsaka Tokiomi's wife and daughter have returned to her mother's house long ago, and all the servants have been dismissed. Only Tokiomi, the owner of the mansion, lives here, and occasionally Tokiomi's disciple, that false priest. Mine Kirei is still alive, so it goes without saying who was stabbed to death here.

Furthermore, it has entered the final stage of the Holy Grail War, with Tokiomi's character, he must keep Archer by his side to protect him, but such protection has no effect, so the conclusion that can be deduced is also very clear .

Finally figured out all the mysteries.

What Kotomine Kirei said to Kariya was based on the premise that "Tokiomi is not dead, and Archer is still protecting him", but unfortunately this premise has been false from the very beginning.

(...Then next, are you going to expose him?)

Zong Chun raised his head, just like all living rooms, there is a clock hanging on the front wall of this room.

The hour hand has just passed the number "11", while the minute hand has just reached "1".

——Tonight at midnight, I will invite Tohsaka Tokiomi to the church. At that time, if you want to sneak attack for revenge or anything else, it is up to you.

At that time, Kotomine Kirei had indeed said so.

In other words, there are still 55 minutes.

If you pass from here, it is not too late...

Zong Chun glanced around the living room again, in order to find clues to Ari, Kiritsugu had already gone somewhere, and it was not the same way in the first place, so there was no need to say goodbye.

"……Let's go."

Going back to the window where he came in, with the help of the tentacles, he climbed up the window sill and jumped down. Zong Chun followed the memory when he came, and ran in this late-night city.

30: 02: 45

Although there was still a short period of time before the priest's appointment, Kariya dragged his body and arrived here early.

It's like a little kid on a first date who deliberately arrives at the agreed place ahead of time, but it's a pity that he didn't come here for a sweet meeting, but to kill someone.

Kariya went back to Matou's house before, but he didn't see the boy and Zouken, who was as big as a kid, but he was dragged for a while by the whining and bandaged Tsuruno, and finally figured out that there was an invasion of foreign enemies After that, the boy seemed to be gone.

I don't know if it was taken away by the intruder or something else, although Kariya was very worried, but seeing that it was almost midnight, he still chose to come to the appointment first.

After all, this was the one he wanted to kill, and according to Tsuruno, the intruder and the boy had left several hours ago.

The engraving worms have eroded his body far more than he imagined.

In other words, Berserker absorbed far more magic power than he imagined, which prevented Kariya from devoting too much energy to resist the insects' gnawing on his body.

The current Kariya is struggling under the influence of willpower, how long can he last?Even Kariya himself didn't know.

Maybe in the next second, he will fall to the ground and lose his breath, which is not surprising at all... who knows?

Even the promise with Sakura couldn't be fulfilled.

Maybe it's impossible to live to the time when the Holy Grail comes, let alone capture the Holy Grail.

Kariya no longer has the extra energy to take care of these things. The only thing he wants to do well now, probably the only thing he can do well, is this, only...killing Tohsaka Tokiomi here.

The church on the hill is brightly lit.

There was no one on the hillside outside the church, Kariya pushed open the door of the church without much hesitation.

(……It's him!)

Kariya recognized it at a glance, with his back to the person sitting in the first row of the chapel.

"Tohsaka, Tokiomi...!"

The other party didn't answer, did he not think he was a threat at all?Kariya gritted his teeth and walked towards the figure who seemed to be concentrating on the altar with the cross erected at the front of the chapel.

"Are you trying to kill me? But you are too naive. Before you get the retribution you deserve, I will get up countless times... Yuan Saka—"

Finally came behind the opponent, Tokiomi still ignored him defenselessly, Kariya was driven by the tyranny in his heart, and stretched out his hand towards the opponent's neck... However, the moment he touched the opponent's neck, Tokiomi's already stiff body It suddenly fell down without warning.

"—!"

what happened?what happened?Unable to comprehend what happened in front of him all of a sudden, Kariya could only open his mouth like a fool.

"For-for-what...?"

At this moment, the scene that later became his nightmare happened.

"... Kariya?"

Hearing the voice, Kariya turned around in bewilderment, the new visitor had a nostalgic gentle voice, and a face that Kariya missed day and night—but why did that voice utter a curse on him? And resentment, why is the smile in the memory distorted and cold at this moment?

This person looked a lot like someone Kariya knew, but Kariya couldn't remember who she was.

It must not be her, how could that person insult herself with a ghostly face and deny everything she has done?

Thinking of this, Kariya's heart suddenly surged with anger.

who is it?

Damn guy, dare to pretend to be ■■■.

Telling lies, knowing nothing and only criticizing herself, she must be shut up, and everything must end.

Before Kariya came back to his senses, his left hand, which he thought had been useless, miraculously moved.

The stiff hands under the skin, which were constantly being drilled by insects, firmly clamped the woman's neck.

"…………!!!"

It seemed that another short figure rushed in from the outside and yelled something, but Kariya didn't have the patience to distinguish at all. The next moment, several huge forces forcefully pulled Kariya up from the woman.

***

There are many surprises that are unexpected.

Just like Mune Chun clearly calculated that he could almost catch up with the zero o'clock agreement, but he didn't expect Kariya to arrive at the church before the agreed time because of his hatred for Tokiomi and his killing intent was too high.

...just a few minutes away.

It's only a few minutes away.

When Zongchun arrived, he could only see Kariya pinching a woman's neck with a distorted expression.

"Damn it, pull him away!!!"

Zong Chun only had time to yell out this sentence. Fortunately, the tentacle monster's reaction was fast enough and its strength was strong enough, otherwise it might not be able to hold the crazy white-haired magician.

"￥...&*%#——————!"

The black tentacles tightly entangled Kariya's limbs and neck, pinning him against the wall. Instead of restraining himself, the white-haired magician became even more violent, continuously letting out indistinguishable roars from his throat, The hands and feet that hadn't been completely bound were also struggling desperately, and the tentacle monster had to use more tentacles to bind his entire body, just like wearing a fat dress on Kariya, without showing a bit.

(...No, it’s a step too late.)

collapsed.

It's broken.

Although he didn't know what Kariya had to do with the woman who fell to the ground due to lack of oxygen, but seeing his crazy eyes, Zongchun realized this fact.

The white-haired magician named Kariya Matou has disappeared from this world... replaced by an unknown thing in Kariya's body.

"...make him shut up."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

A thick black tentacle accurately pierced the mouth of the man who was still yelling, and pressed his throat. Kariya let out a whimper unwillingly, but finally realized that it was useless, and finally stopped.

The cold church suddenly became much quieter. At this time, the twelve bells representing midnight finally rang from the automatic resonance bell on the top of the church.

Zong Chun moved his gaze to one of the walls of the chapel.

According to the general layout of the church, there should be a sacrificial room.

—He felt the sight from there.
