Sei Itō looked at the ruined Jiantong mansion and sneered, "Old man, you're really cunning!"
After saying that, he took a step forward, passed through the yellow and white striped security tape, and walked into Jian Tong's mansion.
A few minutes later, Sei Itō arrived at the well-preserved underground bug room.
Looking at the empty underground bug room, Sei Itō sneered silently. He flipped his palm and a few sparkling gems appeared. He threw them at the floor of the bug room without hesitation.
"Boom!"
The sound of a violent explosion reverberated throughout the entire insect room.
After that, Sei Itō did not stop moving. He took out more gems and attacked the entire bug room indiscriminately.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom …"
It wasn't until a few minutes later that Ito Sei stopped attacking.
However, at that moment, a large number of dents appeared in the originally flat bug room. The entire bug room looked like a building in a battlefield. It looked like it had been bombarded by a large number of cannons.
"Young man, are you really going to kill me?"
At that moment, a large number of black maggots appeared out of nowhere. An old voice was heard in the dilapidated bug room.
Then, the maggots gathered and crawled. They piled up into a black pillar that was about half the height of an adult. Then, they condensed into an old-fashioned kimono. The strange-looking Zangyan of Jiantong appeared in the bug room with a withered wooden wand in his hands. He looked at Sei Itō who was standing on the stairs with a gloomy expression. His eyes flashed coldly.
"To me, you're an unstable factor. Unless … "Sei Itō said calmly.
"… You're still able to recall your original ideals." He changed the topic. He continued.
Hearing this, Tong Zangyan's body trembled, and his face involuntarily revealed a look of reminiscence.
"… Ideal …" Tong Zangyan muttered to himself.
Don't look at Tong Zangyan's current state. He was neither human nor ghost. His mind was abnormally twisted, and he was like a monster. But when he was young, he was also a promising young man with great ideals. Strive to eliminate all evil in the world! However, as time went on, he realized that this dream required a lot of time, and he himself was nearing the end of his lifespan. Thus, he tried his best to extend his lifespan. In the end, due to various influences, he walked down the path of evil and forgot his dream, becoming a monster that only knew how to pursue eternal life.
"Perhaps you should go see the Winter Saintess again," Sei Itō said again.
"The Saintess of Winter …" A peculiar expression appeared on Zangyan Jiantong's strange old face.
Obviously. This old man had a strange feeling towards the Winter Saintess.
"She has already been martyred. Unless I reach the root, it is impossible for me to see her again." After a moment, Tong Zangyan Jiantong, who came back to his senses, said with a melancholy tone.
"No, you can, and now," Sei Itō said calmly.
"Hmm?" Tong Zangyan Jiantong's eyes lit up, and there was a vague look of hope in his eyes.
"Although the Winter Saintess sacrificed herself to create the Holy Grail System, her consciousness did not disappear completely. However, her consciousness did not completely disappear. Instead, it remained as the core of the Holy Grail System. As long as her consciousness is stimulated in an appropriate way, she will wake up from her deep sleep, "Ito Sei explained.
"At least, I saw her during the Fourth Holy Grail War."
In order to increase the sense of shock, Sei Itō told him what he did during the Fourth Holy Grail War.
"Really?" Tong Zangyan Jiantong, who had lived for too long and had forgotten what it felt like to 'believe', still said doubtfully.
"She's right there. If you don't believe me, you can go and verify it." Sei Itō smiled faintly.
"… You should be here to kill me, right? Why are you telling me this?" Tong Zangyan Jiantong's eyes flickered as he was silent for a moment. He then asked with some confusion.
"Because of your current state." Sei Itō looked at Tong Zangyan Jiantong's body and said.
"Indeed. I can kill you here, but I can't guarantee whether you have any other tricks up your sleeve. Although I have a tool in my hand that can track your aura, I don't think the effect of that thing can last long for a great magician like you. Instead of being targeted by you who is hiding in the dark, it's better to let you kill yourself willingly. "
"…" Tong Zangyan Jiantong was silent.
"What will happen to Shinji?" After a while, not knowing if it was because of those words that stimulated him to find something, Tong Zangyan Jiantong was surprisingly concerned about Shinji Jiantong's situation.
"After confirming that the Brain Worm in his body will self-destruct, I will let him go, and even come forward to help him inherit the inheritance of your Tong family."
Speaking of inheritance, although the Tong family has never been famous, as a family that has been run by the old monster Tong Zangyan Jiantong for hundreds of years, the secret capital is very huge. Even the management team hired by Sei Itō to take care of the family business can't be compared with it.
"… If what you said is true, no matter what the result is, I will not trouble you and the people around you." Tong Zangyan Jiantong said.
Then he ignored Sei Itō, his body turned back into a pile of maggots, and crawled to the surrounding cracks in the ground.
"You'd better hurry up, because I plan to completely end this Holy Grail War in three days." Looking at the dark maggots on the ground, Sei Itō reminded him.
Tong Zangyan Jiantong didn't answer, and the maggots quickly disappeared from Sei Itō's eyes.
…
Liudong Temple, in the underground cave where the Holy Grail System is located.
A pile of dark maggots that squeezed out from an unknown crack appeared in the cave and quickly crawled to one place. There, they gathered into a group and piled up into a pile.
Then, the shape of the pile changed. It changed into the posture of an old man wearing an ancient kimono. — It was Tong Zangyan Jiantong.
"This is the first time I've set foot here in more than two hundred years since that time." Looking at the scarlet magic array on the ground of the cave that was blooming with bright red light, like a human blood vessel spread out, Tong Zangyan Jiantong whispered with a nostalgic expression.
"Holy Maiden of Winter, how about you come out and meet me again?"
Responding to him. A world that has not changed.
"It seems that you slept too well and forgot the voice of an old friend. But it doesn't matter, I will help you remember, Yu Tisa. "Tong Zangyan Jiantong chuckled.
Then he gently lifted the crutch in his hand and slammed it on the ground.
"Boom!"
A microwave ripple instantly spread around with the crutch as the center, and in the blink of an eye, it collided with the brilliance of the magic array.
Then. The crimson magic light suddenly lit up, and began to flicker erratically.
"Is it still not enough …" A few minutes later, Tong Zangyan Jiantong still did not see the Holy Maiden of Winter appear, and he whispered with doubt and disappointment in his heart. Then he lifted the crutch again and slammed it on the ground.
"Boom!"
Another wave of ripples spread out.
And this time, the magic array that had not changed much finally had some changes. In the magic array, a large number of photon particles emerged from the magic array. They floated in the air, then quickly flew to the center like moths to a flame, gathered into a cluster, and then suddenly lit up, revealing the Holy Maiden of Winter in a sky robe — Yu Tisa. Ritzlesi. Von Erzberen.
"Yu Tisa!" Seeing the Holy Maiden of Winter appear in the magic array, Tong Zangyan Jiantong excitedly called out.
Perhaps hearing the call, the Holy Maiden of Winter, who had been closing her eyes, slowly opened her eyes.
"Yu Tisa …" Tong Zangyan Jiantong whispered in a strange tone.
"You are … Zangyan Jiantong?" Looking at the unfamiliar image of the old man. The Holy Maiden of Winter called out with some hesitation.
"Yes, it's me. Long time no see, Yu Tisa. "Tong Zangyan Jiantong suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.
"How did you become like this?" The Holy Maiden of Winter asked.
"I …" Hearing the Holy Maiden of Winter's question, Tong Zangyan Jiantong opened his mouth, but he could not say the reason why he became like this. In the end, he became silent with a gloomy expression.
"Is it because of that ideal?" The Holy Maiden of Winter guessed in a positive direction.
As a person who died for her ideal, she instinctively believed that her friend was the same person as her, so even if his form changed and was not the same as before, she still believed that everything Tong Zangyan Jiantong did was for the sake of that ideal.
"… Ideal …" When Sei Itō mentioned it. The image of him, Nagato Enaka, his daughter, and the Winter Saintess making the Holy Grail System appeared in his mind even more clearly. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of disgust toward himself.
"What have I been doing all these years!"
It could be said that even without Sei Itō's previous coercion, Tong Zangyan Jiantong, who had begun to feel self-loathing toward himself, would choose to completely end himself in the end. To end this filthy life.
"… Zangyan Jiantong, did you also fall?" Looking at Tong Zangyan Jiantong's strange behavior, how could the unusually intelligent Holy Maiden of Winter not understand what happened? She asked softly.
"Yes, I also fell." Tong Zangyan Jiantong, who felt more self-loathing in his heart, smiled bitterly with tears streaming down his face.
"Then, Zangyan Jiantong, do you still remember the ideal in your heart?" The Holy Maiden of Winter asked.
"I may have forgotten before, but now, I have remembered. Yu Tisa. " Tong Zangyan Jiantong's face showed a hearty smile that did not match his figure and temperament at all.
"Unfortunately, it's too late. I have no time to continue to complete it."
"As long as you remember, it's not too late." The Holy Maiden of Winter said softly with a faint smile on her face.
"Is that so? That's good, that's good. "Tong Zangyan Jiantong repeated as if he was redeemed.
"Zangyan Jiantong, I'm very happy to be able to meet you again after hundreds of years. I have to go back." At this time, the Holy Maiden of Winter said softly.
"Okay." Tong Zangyan Jiantong smiled.
"Goodbye, my friend, Zangyan Jiantong."
As soon as the words fell, the radiant image of the Holy Maiden of Winter suddenly exploded, turning into a large number of photon particles that slowly melted into the air.
Then the underground cave once again turned back into the original bright red space.
"Goodbye, Yu Tisa, I also have to return to my roots. I hope we can meet again there …" Tong Zangyan Jiantong's eyes seemed to be able to see through time and dimensions as he looked at the place where the Holy Maiden of Winter disappeared and whispered softly.
"… Shen Er, I'll leave the Tong family to you. All these years, grandpa has wronged you …"
After saying that, Tong Zangyan Jiantong's body collapsed and suddenly exploded into a pile of dark and smelly liquid, splashing all over the underground space.
At the same time, somewhere in the Fuyuki Room.
"Master Cheng, Tong Zangyan Jiantong's brain has self-destructed." Suddenly, Caster, who felt something, turned his head and reported to Sei Itō.
"Is he dead …" Hearing this, Sei Itō exhaled softly and whispered. Then he raised his head and said to Caster, "Demetrius, take out the Holy Grail fragment from Tong Zangyan Jiantong's body, then modify his memory and put him back."
"Yes, Master Cheng." Caster bowed his head and responded.
Then Sei Itō didn't stay in the room any longer, he turned around and walked out.
At this point, the great magician Tong Zangyan Jiantong announced his death, and the Tong family ushered in a new era …
Three days later, Sei Itō, who handed over Tong Zangyan Jiantong to the professional managers who were responsible for managing the Tong family's property, and asked them to help deal with the inheritance of the Tong family's property. Together with Caster, Rider, and Saber, the three of them came to the castle in the Fuyuki Forest.
"What a rare guest, I didn't expect you to come here." Ilya, who was walking along the wide stairs to the hall, said.
"Arrange a clean room." Sei Itō, who ignored Ilya, asked directly.
"Humph." Seeing this, Ilya snorted angrily and turned to the maid at the end of the hall and said, "Ligerit, arrange a clean room for them."
"Yes." Ligerit leaned forward and responded.
"Everyone, please follow me." Ligerite invited.
Sei Itō didn't hesitate and walked into the depths of the room with Caster, Rider, Saber, and Ilya.
A few minutes later, the group came to a clean room.
"Ilya, let her go out, and then tell people not to disturb you, I'm going to treat you here." After taking a look at the situation in the room, Ito Sei felt that it was okay and said to Ilya.
"Uh … How are you going to treat me?" Ilya asked strangely. Ligerit on the side also looked at Sei Itō curiously.
"Just like when I treated your mother, I'm going to replace your heart." Sei Itō raised his hand and showed a light blue medical box in his hand to Ilya.
"But you are luckier than your mother. When I treated her at that time, everything was simple. Even her heart was modified by me overnight … Now, I'm going to use your cell sample and alchemy to clone it. In terms of effect, it's much better than finding a random heart, and there's no rejection reaction. The possibility of reconnection of the magic circuit is also relatively high. It's not like your mother who couldn't even use a little magic after the surgery."
