No, where does this portal come from?

He stuffed the several immortal-trapping talismans given by the old Taoist priest into his pocket, and wrapped Thomson in old clothes from the closet. After making sure that the evil spirit had been taken away from him, Lin Yan stepped out of the room.

It's nothing else, I'm just afraid that something strange will happen in the world again.

After days of training and taking medicine, Lin Yan's body shape has become more obvious, with muscle lines and body shape changes. When he walks on the road, he looks like a stone statue hidden in the dark.

Especially with a short knife across his waist and an unknown object wrapped in white cloth in his hand, he looked even more terrifying.

Neon lights crackled at the corner of the izakaya's eaves, and two men in suits wrinkled like pickles pushed open the curtains.

One of them, who looked like a leader, was holding an empty beer in his left hand, with his right hand hooked around his subordinate's neck, and his tie was crookedly tied to his shirt buttons.

Fujimura staggered beside him and followed the leader. The grease-blurred lens suddenly reflected a dark shadow not far away.

When he saw this person standing under the street light, he suddenly sobered up a little.

He didn't move forward, but reached out and grabbed the company leader next to him.

The middle-aged man looked a little puzzled when he saw that he was being pulled.

But after seeing the man's eye signal, he immediately understood what the little brother meant.

"Bumi...are you leaving?"

"Walk around..."

The two of them turned left and right simultaneously, and then walked away with steady steps.

However, before they could walk out of the street, the sound coming from behind made them tremble again.

"Friend, please stay!"

Stay?

Leave a hammer!

"...Run!!" The minister suddenly rushed out, a disdainful smile on his flushed face.

Hehe! As the saying goes, when a bear is chasing you, you don't need to outrun the bear, you just need to outrun your companions!

And I... am the sprint champion in the department!

Who can compare to——

——Whoosh!!

A figure rushed past him!

What the hell! Fujimura! What's wrong with you?! How come you're running faster than me now?

The minister looked at the member of his team.

The team member walked briskly, completely different from the aching back and legs he had in the department, and rushed straight past him without even turning his head...

The minister stared in amazement at the team member who had left three footprints on the ground within a hundred meters, his head buzzing.

As for whether there were only three footprints left on the ground, it no longer matters.

--Snapped.

"My friend, please stay."

The thick palm held the minister down tightly.

He felt that what was placed on his shoulders was not a hand, but a mountain.

The force almost made him unable to move.

Feeling the pressure on his shoulders, the minister laughed awkwardly twice and said, "Ha...haha...you don't need to say more!"

"I understand! I understand everything! It's just that you're short of money and want to borrow some."

"Don't worry, I will never call the police! And I will never look back! If you don't believe me, just look at my eyes closed!" As he said that, he closed his eyes tightly and did not look back. He took out his wallet and the change in his pocket and placed them carefully on the ground.

"You can take all this money, just don't hurt me."

Looking at the stack of Japanese yen on the ground, Lin Yan's mouth twitched.

"Hey, friend. How about I ask you a few questions and if you answer them correctly I'll let you go?"

"What if the answer is wrong?" the minister asked tremblingly.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yan grinned and threatened: "What do you think?"

As he spoke, Lin Yan raised two fingers and pressed them against the minister's lower back.

Feeling a hard object pressing against his lower back, the Minister couldn't help but sweat a few drops on his forehead, and kept cursing Fujimura in his heart for having surpassed him.

He swore! As long as he could survive today! He would take on the responsibility of making things difficult for Fujimura from now on!

"I ask you, what is love?"

"Ah???" The minister broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this question.

"Just kidding~ Here's the real question."

"I ask you, where is this?"

"Where? ...Earth?" the minister answered tentatively.

“…I asked for the name of the country and city.”

"Oh! This... this is the neon Fuyuki City."

"Fuyuki City?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and murmured softly: "Hiss - I'm in Type-Moon?!"

Chapter 57 The First Thing to Do When Coming to FATE

After asking what year it was, Lin Yan did not stay there and turned back to the courtyard.

"1984... There are still ten years before the Fourth Holy Grail War breaks out." Lin Yan returned to the room and pondered.

The Fourth Holy Grail War broke out in 1994, which is a full ten years away from this year.

"This mediocre year...it's really a bit difficult..."

The Holy Grail War is one of the most important events in the Type-Moon world.

The Holy Grail, a holy relic that contained the blood of Jesus in Christian legend, symbolizes the power of God.

In the Fate series, the Holy Grail is endowed with magical powers that can fulfill the wishes of its holder and is also known as the "universal wish-granting machine."

The three great mage families who created it - the Einzbern family, the Tōsaka family, and the Makiri family (the Matou family) - also constructed a huge ritual in order to reach the "root".

In order to obtain the right to use the "Universal Wishing Machine", the three major families will wait for the spiritual power in the earth veins of Fuyuki City to accumulate enough to support the advent of the Holy Grail every 60 years or so. At this time, the Holy Grail will appear in Fuyuki City, triggering a large-scale war.

The participants are seven magicians.

They each summon a heroic spirit from history as a fighting partner, and the victor who ultimately survives the battle will obtain ownership of the Holy Grail.

Before the Fourth Holy Grail War, also known as the Third Holy Grail War, was about to begin, the Einzbern family, in pursuit of victory, illegally summoned Angra Mainyu, an Avenger who did not belong to the seven conventional classes.

However, this servant is actually the "humanized" form of the Zoroastrian evil god, with extremely weak combat power, equivalent to that of an ordinary human.

The Avengers were defeated on the fourth day after the war began, and their souls were recovered by the Holy Grail.

Because the Avengers symbolize "all the evil in this world", the colorless magic of the Holy Grail has been contaminated into "black mud", causing the Holy Grail system to fundamentally deteriorate.

From then on, the Holy Grail could grant wishes, but it would always do so in the worst possible way.

For example, if the user wants world peace, he will kill all living things in the world to achieve the goal of "peace".

Unfortunately, no one knew about this before the Fourth Holy Grail War began. It was not until the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War that people discovered that the Holy Grail had been contaminated...

Lin Yan in the courtyard quietly analyzed the timeline of the Holy Grail War, and finally found that the current year and month did not make sense, and he could not wait until the plot began.

After much thought, if one wants to deviate the plot line, the only way is to disrupt the Holy Grail War in advance.

The easiest way is to go and kill the Master of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"What a pity... I still have an anime filter for the characters in FATE, and I can't bear to do it..." Lin Yan sighed and rubbed his temples in distress.

But soon, when the image of Sakura curled up in the bug warehouse flashed through his memory, he instantly thought of someone who could do it even with an anime filter...

Or perhaps it was precisely because of this anime filter that Lin Yan thought of the person who was going to attack him.

Matou Zōkō.

His real name is Machiri Zorgen, and he is the first head of one of the three founding families of the Holy Grail War.

His original goal was to "eradicate evil in the world," but due to his anxiety about human lifespan, he gradually abandoned his body and used insect magic to transfer his soul to other people or insect swarms to prolong his life, causing his soul to decay and deteriorate, and eventually he became a crazy magician pursuing immortality.

But these are not the reasons why Lin Yan wants to kill him.

The reason he killed Matou Zouken was, firstly, that old Biden had harmed the little girl! Secondly, it was to make sure his trip wasn't in vain!

So... old bug! I'll sacrifice you to the heavens today!

Under the moonlight, Lin Yan raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth, and a flash of blood flashed in his eyes.

Then he disappeared from the spot...

The Matou Residence is located in Miyama-cho in the western part of Fuyuki City. It retains the traditional Japanese style and is built on the mountainside with slopes and residential areas scattered around.

Compared to the modern city of Xindu in the east, the buildings here are really old.

But it is precisely this old urban area and environment that makes these magicians particularly like this place.

After all, the fewer people around, the easier it is to perform activities like magic.

The sound of numerous insect feet rubbing against the wall echoed in the darkness.

Tens of thousands of crested worms are wriggling in the damp cellar.

On the wall covered with dark red insect swarms, the sound of 'crackling' rubbing of arthropods came one after another, occasionally interspersed with the 'clicking' sound of dripping mucus.

Zouken Matou's hunched, old body was hidden in the darkness, standing on the steps above the insect cave.

There were no whites in his eyes, his entire body was black, there was not a single hair on his head, his limbs were shriveled like a mummy, and a sharp yet sinister gleam shone from his deep eye sockets, giving him a certain "inhuman" alien quality.

Next to Zouken Matou stood a tall and thin young man.

The young man looked at the insect nest under his feet with a serious expression, his fists clenched with anger and disgust, and his knuckles turned white.

Zouken Matou was leaning on a worm-eaten mahogany cane, and every time the tip of the cane touched the ground, it made a teeth-grinding squeaking sound.

His sunken eye sockets reflected the faint blue phosphorescence of the insect lair, and his dry throat emitted a hoarse laugh similar to the chirping of cicadas: "Kanyaya..."

"Your magical talent is far superior to your brother's... Are you sure you don't want to accept the inheritance of the Matou family?"

Hearing the voice that came to his ear, Matou Kariya couldn't help but reveal a trace of disgust on his face. He turned to look at Matou Zouken and said: "Give up on this idea."

"Will I inherit this ugly insect technique and seal insects, and then live an ugly life like you?"

"If that's the case, I'm willing to die!" Matou Kariya said through gritted teeth.

"Oh? Really..." As he said that, Matou Zouken slowly walked up to Matou Kariya, raised his short and thin head and looked at him.

After staring at each other for a long time, Matou Zouken shook his head with a playful expression: "Since you don't want to inherit the legacy of the Matou family, then you can leave."

"Anyway, your qualifications aren't high enough for me to force you to stay in the Matou family and become the next head of the family."

Upon hearing this, Matou Kariya frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. You can leave, but don't take any belongings from the house and get out of the Matou family by yourself."

Having said that, Matou Zouken turned and walked away.

After being let go by Matou Zouken, Matou Kariya stood there struggling for a moment, then took a step forward and ran out.

In the dim corridor, Matou Kariya rushed out quickly.

As I rushed out of the mansion, the sound of my footsteps hitting the bluestone slabs and my pounding heart resonated in my chest.

The rusty cast iron gate was knocked open, and the rusty door hinges made an unpleasant long cry, startling the crows roosting on the dead trees in the courtyard.

When his brother Matou Tsuruno saw his younger brother rushing out of the house without saying a word, he looked confused but did not ask. He just quietly watched Matou Kariya's departing back and finally looked away.

On the deep street, Matou Kariya strode forward.

I finally escaped from that terrifying wormhole! I finally got rid of that bastard's control!

Free! Free!

Matou Kariya ran wildly in the dim alley.

Just as he was about to run towards happiness and the future, his hurried footsteps bumped into a pedestrian turning the corner the moment he turned the corner.
