Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

"grandfather?"

Hearing Shinji Matou's roar, Kiritsugu Emiya frowned.

The only person Shinji Matou could call "Grandpa" was none other than Zouken Matou, that old worm. But shouldn't he have died ten years ago?

"..."

Seeing that his Master had fled, Cursed Arm Hassan immediately retreated into the forest, and Archer did not pursue him.

He also heard Matou Shinji's shout, and a sense of doubt and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

With the death of Kariya Matou, an unknown change clearly occurred in this Holy Grail War.

Looking at the group chat again, he realized that the first message was sent by Matou Kariya.

It seems it was killed right after it was sent.

But why give it to him...?

No, this message should have been sent to a group; it should be a warning from Matou Kariya to the others.

Opening the first message, Matou Kariya's last words were only a few words long:

"Watch out! It's B..."

—Let's rewind to about ten minutes ago—

"Ugh..."

Looking at the empty mansion, Matou Kariya sighed helplessly.

Shinji, I wonder where he's gone.

He admitted that he had acted too impulsively before. The child hadn't done anything wrong, but he hit him, which resulted in the child running away from home.

The main reason is that Shinji's personality is too similar to the one in the video, and he's scared.

"Feel sorry..."

He was genuinely afraid that his nephew, with whom he depended on each other, would become the kind of scoundrel depicted in the video.

After calming down, he realized he had acted impulsively.

Shinji is just a little arrogant. His teaching over the years has been fine, and he shouldn't turn out like the one in the video.

His own destiny had already been changed, so why couldn't he?

Afterwards, Kariya Matou apologized to Shinji Matou in the group chat, but this time it seems that he really hurt the other party.

Including today, Shinji Matou has not been home for two days and two nights.

He didn't participate in the previous Q&A competition, which clearly shows he was avoiding me.

We can only let the child think about it for now and let time heal all wounds.

Chapter 491 The Death of Kariya

"Hmm! Who is it?"

Just as Matou Kariya was about to go to the basement as usual to check, he suddenly felt a pang of anxiety.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the courtyard.

"when..."

Kariya Matou's alarm bells rang loudly, because the barrier he had set up in his home was completely unresponsive.

Was it sabotaged, or did it happen without him even noticing?

"Hehehe, with such a low-level tactic, do you think you can stop anyone?"

The man in the darkness chuckled sinisterly, "As expected, even if you can master magic, it still can't hide the fact that you're a piece of trash."

"who are you?"

Matou Kariya stood with his hands behind his back, a stream of water gathering, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

"Hehehe, you don't even recognize me anymore, Kariya."

The man walked into the moonlight, his gaunt face bearing a sinister and smug smile.

"How can it be!"

Kariya Matou shuddered, and the magic in his hands dissipated due to his distraction.

Because the person in the courtyard was clearly his father, Matou Zouken, who had been dead for ten years.

"No, that's impossible! That guy is definitely dead!"

Kariya Matou quickly calmed himself down and, without further ado, conjured up water magic with both hands and launched an attack while shouting.

"Oh, why are you so sure I'm dead?"

The 'old bug' on the other side suddenly changed his expression and asked without any emotion.

He stood quietly in the courtyard, as if there was an invisible barrier in front of him, which blocked all the incoming water.

"Of course, it's because the Q&A group had already confirmed your death!"

Matou Kariya maintained a serious demeanor on the surface, but inwardly she was starting to panic.

His water magic was completely ineffective against his opponent, and he had no other options available.

He was, after all, just a magician who came to the profession later in life.

"Hehehe, Yan Ye, when did you learn to lie?"

The 'old bug' chuckled sinisterly again, his dark eyes seeming to see right through Matou Kariya, sending chills down Kariya's spine.

"You're so sure I'm dead, it's probably not just because of that Q&A group."

"Ha, even now, they're still putting on an act!"

Matou Kariya said in a deep voice, "You coward, even at a time like this, you still refuse to reveal your true identity!"

"You don't need to know that. Knowing too much isn't a good thing."

The 'Old Insect' slowly walked towards Matou Kariya, saying as he went, "I originally came here just to control you, but I didn't expect to gain anything else."

"It seems the Matou family is hiding some secrets."

"Don't even think about it!!!"

Kariya Matou launched another attack.

Even if it doesn't work, he can't just sit here and wait to die.

"Hmph, humans, what ugly creatures they are."

With a wave of his hand, 'Old Bug' Matou Kariya felt an invisible blow to his body and was sent flying backwards, crashing into the house.

"Cough cough..."

Despite the pain, Matou Kariya struggled to his feet and looked at the 'old bug' with dread.

What did he just do? That attack, which resembled telekinesis, was it mental magic...?

Wait a minute, he just said "humans"!

Using such language, does that mean the other party isn't human?

"Could it be that you are!"

Suddenly, Matou Kariya seemed to have thought of something.

That was what he saw in the ancestral log of the Matou family, the earliest record of the Matou family's origins.

"Bang!!!"

An even greater surge of psychic power slammed into Matou Kariya, pinning him to the ground and instantly crushing the tatami mats of the house, leaving him completely pinned to the floor.

The old bug's aura had completely changed, now filled with savagery and murderous intent.

However, the other party's reaction confirmed his suspicions.

"...You seem to have already guessed it."

The old bug said coldly, "In that case, I can't let you live."

I had promised that kid that I would let this human live a few more days, but now that he knows a secret he shouldn't know, I can't let him live.

"Shenji, be careful..."

Knowing he was doomed, Matou Kariya sent a final message to Matou Shinji in the group chat, intending to reveal the identity of the "Old Bug" to the other members and warn them. However, the other party seemed to sense what Matou Kariya was planning and immediately attacked.

The next moment, Matou Kariya only saw a dazzling light, and then he disappeared into the light.

Matou Kariya died.

"Humph."

Seeing that Matou Kariya had been dealt with, the 'Old Bug' snorted coldly and walked towards the Matou family's underground workshop.

We must act quickly; someone will be coming to check on the situation here soon.

"squeak..."

Easily breaking through the workshop's barrier and pushing open the door, 'Old Bug' was taken aback.
