"Hahaha, hahahahahahahaha!!!!"

After figuring everything out, the Lord, who had always maintained his composure, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"The London murders seven years ago, the murder of Miss Teresa, these cannot be called cases, they are just shadows left over from the past."

"All the pieces of the puzzle are now complete. Combining the information gathered by Reines and Luvia, the deductions of Matou Aki and Adashino Hishiri, and everything that Matou Aki himself saw with his clairvoyance, the whole truth is now clear."

"Now, all that remains is the moment to arrest the real culprit."

Twelve o'clock in the morning.

Shen Qiu looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a black suit, with white hair that was a little too long but not past her shoulders, and a pretty face that was both androgynous but had become somewhat feminine. She had also neatly tied her tie.

"Good morning, passengers. The auction for the Magic Eye Collection Train is about to begin. Please proceed to the Magic Eye Orb Vault."

"Almost, it's time."

After glancing at the time on his wristwatch, the boy gently pushed open the door and went out. Anna was already asleep.

"It's time to make that real culprit pay the price. How dare they even scheme against me! It's truly... unforgivable!"

Inside the Pandemon Eye Library, which resembles a university lecture hall.

All passengers who boarded the Magic Eye Collection Train have now arrived.

Olga Marie Amsfia, heir to the Celestial Lord.

Temporary representative of the Law and Politics Department: Ryori Adashino.

The current Lord of the Modern Magic Department: El-Melloi II.

Yvette Rayman, the pink-haired loli, is the heiress of the prestigious Rayman family.

Melvin Weinz, the mediator for the division of the three major factions of the Tramberg family.

El-Melloi II's two henchmen: Greta and Correspondent.

Aside from the other magicians, big and small, the Dead Apostles, the nobles, and finally, the head of the Matou family, Shen Qiu.

Countless magical eyes were preserved in special glass bottles filled with magical formaldehyde and displayed in the Magic Eye Sphere Library. Shen Qiu only glanced at them briefly before estimating that there were at least a hundred pairs of magical eyes stored here.

"First up is the Silver-grade Bewitching Eye, starting bid: ten million US dollars."

Once everyone had arrived, Leondra no longer hesitated and immediately began the main purpose of this trip to collect the Eye of the Demon train: the auction.

"Ten million US dollars."

"Twelve million US dollars."

"Thirteen million US dollars..."

"Thirty million US dollars."

"make a deal!"

Shen Qiu watched the auction on the Magic Eye Collection Train in silence. Most of the items were of silver and gold quality, but they still attracted a lot of attention from the high-ranking officials and nobles. This shows the appeal of the original magic, the "eye," to magicians.

However, he himself does not intend to participate in this auction.

Not to mention that he doesn't even care about these Mystic Eyes, acquiring one doesn't guarantee he'll be able to adapt to it. Moreover, for ordinary magicians, the mana consumption of Mystic Eyes only adds to their burden.

He bluntly stated that, in his view, anything below the Gem-grade Magic Eye in the Moon World was garbage.

Especially considering that this is defined by the modern level of the Magic Eye, rather than the level of the Gods.

Time ticked by, and the auction was drawing to a close.

"Now, we present the final, grand finale item of this Mystic Eye Train—the Gem-grade Mystic Eye, [The Mystic Eye of Delay]!"

"It possesses the ability to observe and has a partial vision of the future."

"More importantly, it can fix what has been observed once, and the actual effect of its use is likely to delay the occurrence of undesirable events."

"The starting bid is thirty million US dollars!"

"As expected, even after Father Caleb's Mystic Eyes were eliminated, there are still quite a few gem-quality ones on the Mystic Eyes Collection Train."

Seeing the appearance of the gem-grade magic eye, Shen Qiu was not surprised at all.

But just as Leondra was about to begin the auction, he stood up and walked straight to the center of the venue.

“Miss Leondra, please stop the auction for now. I have a few words to say.”

If it were anyone else, the auctioneer would certainly ignore such an unreasonable request, but it's a different story with Shen Qiu.

"Please say."

The auctioneer, whose eyes were blindfolded with linen, voluntarily left the auction venue.

"Now that everyone is here, the case of the London murders seven years ago, as well as the murder of Miss Theresa, has been completely solved. The murderer is hiding among us."

"Furthermore, we have already identified who the target is."

As soon as Shen Qiu finished speaking, he dropped a bombshell on the scene. All the magicians present stood up, fearing that the perverted killer was hiding right next to them.

After gently stroking his tie, Shen Qiu opened his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and fixed his gaze on Koles, who was in the corner.

"Dr. Hartracey, do you think this farce should end now?"

The moment he finished speaking, a surge of murderous intent and immense magical power erupted from Shen Qiu's body, enveloping the entire Myriad Demon Eyes Library.

Meanwhile, Ryori Adano instantly stood up and used her ancestral snake magic to completely imprison Koles.

"Teacher, what... what's going on?!"

Seeing that he had been instantly imprisoned, Correspondent still seemed to know nothing and was even pleading for help from El-Melloi II.

"As Aki Matou said, you are the real culprit who manipulated Father Caleb to commit a series of crimes. Now that things have come to this, it's time to confess."

King El-Melloi II lit a cigar, took a deep drag, and then looked at his "student".

“You’re joking, sir. There’s no evidence, and I had no motive. How could I possibly be a murderer?”

"Because you are not Koles Flavigi Yggdomirenia at all."

As soon as the boy finished speaking, a vast amount of magic swept over Koles's entire body, revealing his true appearance.

"This this!"

Everyone stared in disbelief at Dr. Hartless, who revealed her true form after Shen Qiu used magic stripping. She was at least 1.8 meters tall, with a face as alluring as a woman's and five braided ponytails at the back of her head.

"As expected, everything is exposed by your divine clairvoyance, which is truly something that only exists in myths and legends and surpasses the rainbow level."

Upon witnessing this, Hartres gave a wry smile and chose not to continue arguing or struggling.

“That’s right, I am Hartress, the former Lord of the Modern Magic Department.”

"Dr. Hartless, the man whose heart was stolen by a fairy, who could easily open the vault of the Modern Magic Department, investigate a large amount of information about the Holy Grail War, and be the only one who funded Yvette, is you."

"Not only that, but they also instigated the Amphia family to get involved in the Holy Grail War and forcibly awakened the still-sleeping Seventh Ancestor of the Dead Apostles, Fuhailin, to attack the Mystic Eye Train."

"If we add the London murder case seven years ago and the murder of Miss Teresa, then your crimes are truly countless."

El-Melloi II took the intelligence from Gray and explained it in detail.

“But none of this is your true purpose, is it, Dr. Hartrace?”

"Your true purpose is that small-scale magical ritual that took place in the Far East, a meaningless battle that took place in a magically barren place that the adults of the Clock Tower look down upon—the Holy Grail War."

Shen Qiu slowly walked from the front of the stage to Hartres and looked at him with his deep, blood-red eyes.

“The Greater Grail of Fuyuki City is a piece of junk, but that doesn’t mean it’s worthless. You’ve dissected its principles in great detail, and on a theoretical level, you might even be on par with me.”

Shen Qiu stroked the spatial ring on the middle finger of her right hand and sighed softly.

Why, why are so many people so fixated on that thing?

Clearly, the proliferation of that kind of thing will only drag the whole world into disaster.

This is the scene in the parallel world of Fate/Apocrypha: the subspecies Holy Grail War is rampant all over the world, and the Mage's Association and the Holy Church are constantly busy with this trivial matter.

"You studied the spiritual veins that the Mystic Eyes Collecting Train traveled and the Fuhai Forest, and put the two together on a line, thereby creating a false Holy Grail. Then, relying on the false Holy Grail, you summoned a false Heroic Spirit."

"A false Holy Grail, a false Master, a false Heroic Spirit, everything is a lie."

"That's right, brilliant! That's exactly the result. You truly deserve to be my successor, the one who has carried forward the modern magic department!" Upon hearing this, Hartres even wanted to applaud.

El-Melloi II, on the other hand, wore an unpleasant expression.

"Your plan was perfect. In fact, you have already achieved your true goal. You have summoned a Heroic Spirit, even if it is fake, it is still a Heroic Spirit."

"The only thing you didn't expect was that the true victor of the last Holy Grail War—Matou Aki—would actually board this Mystic Eyes collection train. The moment he appeared, your goal changed."

"You are surprised by the little girl who is like a Heroic Spirit but not a Heroic Spirit following him. You want to challenge him and further obtain the secrets of the Holy Grail, but everyone knows that Matou Aki's reputation is well-known, and with his terrifying Mystic Eyes, you know it is impossible."

“That’s right, so I activated the backup plan. I originally wanted to summon the son of Fu Hailin, but I decided to bury all the people in the know and all the secrets here, and simply awaken Fu Hailin.”

Hartres readily admitted it.

"Hey, Matou Aki, from the very beginning you've been looking at me like I'm a clown, haven't you?"

"The one who knows all the secrets of the Holy Grail possesses omniscient and omnipotent vision. You foresaw everything long ago, and were just waiting for El-Melloi II."

"However, I don't have time to listen to your idle chatter here. Now that the objective has been achieved, then—by the Command Spell, my Sept, come quickly!"

A streak of crimson lightning flashed, and the servant named Hephaestion descended upon Heartres's side.
