The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

"??? I'm talking to you seriously, and you're driving in front of me, right?" Wang Chong cursed.

"Oh, it's all the same." The system laughed and said.

"I won't force you to know the origins. But I do want to cling to someone powerful. If possible, it would be nice to snatch away such a precious girl, but it's a pity for Brother Hei Tong." Wang Chong said.

"In fact, host, you still have another choice. You may not be able to see the root pattern, and she may not help you even if you see it. But that person is different. As long as the host dares to show her face in front of her, she will definitely pester the host for the rest of his life." The system said with a grin.

"Woc, stop talking! I seriously doubt it. I always feel uneasy and want to leave this world. I'm afraid that I have been discovered by this guy. With my current ability, I am not sure I can deal with her... Anyway, I dare not go to Tokyo." Wang Chong said firmly.

Chapter 19: The Hundred Faces of Hassan

In the morning, as usual, they had lunch and taught Sakura Matou magic. Sakura Matou absorbed the lessons quickly, applying them to other situations. She mastered many imaginary number magic techniques: distortion, parabola, separation. The rest was simply a matter of mastery and accuracy, along with continuous practice and improvement of practical experience and magical power.

"Xiaoying is a fast learner. I feel like it won't be long before she'll master all the knowledge I've given her, and then she'll be a successful apprentice without my instruction." Wang Chong continued to stroke Xiaomatou Sakura's head as a reward. Xiaomatou Sakura initially enjoyed Wang Chong's patting, but after hearing what Wang Chong said, a hint of panic flashed across her eyes for some reason.

However, Wang Chong's attention was distracted by a system prompt at the moment, so he did not notice Komatou Sakura's expression and strangeness.

"Ding—system alert, your subordinate, Kotomine Kirei, has taken his relatives to the anorectal hospital. This qualifies as villain behavior. As the boss, you naturally bear a share of the blame, so I'm awarding the host 20 villain points. Current villain points: 1200."

"Huh? What's going on? Can the evil deeds done by my little brother be blamed on me and allow me to gain villain points?" Wang Chong was stunned and said.

"That's right. After all, as the ultimate villain, his villain deeds are not just personal villain behaviors. The notoriety created by the forces under his command will naturally be shared with the host. In short, to put it simply, your subordinates can also help you earn villain points. It's just that they won't be as many as you earn yourself. There will be a certain discount." said the system.

"Okay... It seems that forming his own villain force is also a way to quickly improve himself. However, what exactly did Kotomine Kirei do? His only relative is that old man Kotomine Risei. How did he send him to the anorectal hospital... Wait, could it be that he used the Mapo Tofu recipe I gave him, made his own Mapo Tofu, and then fed it to his father?" Wang Chong couldn't help but think.

My recipe did add a little bit of spiciness on purpose, but it shouldn't be enough to send me to the anorectal hospital.

"I hope that old man is alright." Wang Chong thought silently.

……

After teaching Sakura Komatou in the morning, Wang Chong resumed his free activities in the afternoon. This time, he headed directly towards the Cathedral Church and used the power of the Destruction to draw Kotomine Kirei out. Of course, he also disguised himself as Dio.

Soon they came to the restaurant they had visited yesterday, ordered the same plate of Mapo Tofu, and started to taste it.

"So, Shichen is busy because the plan was disrupted, right?" Wang Chong asked.

"Yes."

"I'm sure your father is also worried about this. So, how does it feel to see your father and your teacher suffer?"

“It’s absolutely wonderful.”

"Hehe... But adding this fuel to the fire is enough for now. The Holy Grail War is just an interesting game after all, so there's no need to make a big fuss. But, Kirei, didn't your teacher assign you any tasks? For example... won't you introduce who the girl hiding in the attic is?" Wang Chong pointed upwards, smiled slightly, and said.

"Excuse me...Assassin." Kotomine Kirei said slowly.

Then, a figure suddenly emerged from the gap, and a faint black aura enveloped a person whose whole body was extremely black and who was wearing a skull mask.

"Assassin...did your teacher ask you to summon a Heroic Spirit in advance?" Wang Chong nodded upon seeing the other party appear. No wonder his goddess had sent a message remotely, saying that many of her class had appeared in the city. Therefore, his goddess remembered his request and did not make any more noises outside, keeping herself hidden.

"That's right. The teacher asked me to use Assassin and the others to monitor every move of the entire Fuyuki City. To obtain information about the Masters of various rivals." Kotomine Kirei said slowly.

"them?"

"Well, this is one of my Assassin's abilities. He can split into hundreds of people by himself. It is the best choice to use it to layout the entire Fuyuki City." Kotomine Kirei said slowly.

"Master, is it really okay to casually reveal such information?" At this time, Hassan interrupted the topic and said. After all, this is his trump card. If it is exposed so easily in the hands of others, wouldn't it be...

"Hmph!" At this moment, Wang Chong snorted coldly, and a terrifying aura emanated from him. It was the deterrent effect of the "Savior of the Evil" aura. This deterrent effect was particularly effective against the assassins hiding in the shadows.

"This... this is a terrifying aura... This guy is obviously just a human, why is this happening?" Hassan was intimidated by this aura, which was no less than the intimidation he felt when he faced the previous generation leader Hassan Sabbah when he first joined the organization.

"The nineteenth Hassan Sabbah. Also known as the Hundred Faces. Unlike previous Hassan Sabbahs, she has not tampered with her body at all. However, that is because although the Hundred Faces' body is ordinary, she can freely change the spirit that controls the body according to the situation. There is a group of independent souls in her body. She uses the various knowledge and abilities of the cohabitants living in her body to seduce the enemy with various means, break through the protection network, and hunt down the target in ways that no one can imagine." Then, Wang Chong not only told Hassan the other party's real name, but also understood the other party's abilities clearly.

"Because of this, after becoming a Servant, they are no longer bound by the shackles of the flesh, and their split personalities can each possess their own body as the situation requires. However, since the total amount of spiritual energy is still limited to "one person", when splitting up, the ability of each individual will be so low that it cannot be compared with other Heroic Spirits. However, all individuals benefit from Assassin's unique skills, and considering that they can act independently, they can truly be said to be an unbeatable group in terms of espionage operations alone."

The more Hassan Baimao listened, the more frightened he became. Not only had he seen through his true form at a glance, but he had also described his abilities with such complete knowledge. He had described his weaknesses and strengths with crystal clarity. With such terrifying strength and such astonishing eyesight, if he and his Master were to become his enemy, they would be powerless.

"Lord Dio, please forgive my Servant's disrespect. He is not aware of the relationship between Lord Dio and me." Kotomine Kirei said with his head down.

"It's nothing. I wouldn't bother with a dead Heroic Spirit. Rather, I think this Heroic Spirit is quite suitable for you, Kirei." Wang Chong smiled, retracted his aura, and sat back in his original seat.

"It's good to be liked by you, sir."

"Well, but they are always wandering around in the city, which is quite eye-catching. I usually go out for a stroll during this time in the afternoon when I have nothing to do. But I don't want to see them wandering around everywhere." Wang Chong said lightly.

"I understand. From now on, I will arrange for them to come back temporarily during this time in the afternoon." Kotomine Kirei said.

Wang Chong nodded, thinking to himself, "This way, my goddesses can at least come out and have fun for a while without worrying about getting too cooped up."

……

Soon, Wang Chong parted ways with Kotomine Kirei once again. Before leaving, he did not forget to give a word of advice: "A mentor is like a father. Don't just show filial respect to your biological father. Don't forget your mentor who taught you."

"I understand." Kotomine Kirei had a happy smile on his face. He knew who his next target would be.

After Wang Chong left, several Hassan figures appeared behind Kotomine Kirei. Some were male, some were female, some were large, some were small. "Master, what on earth is that guy? Even we can't see through him."

"You only need to remember one thing. You can deal with the tasks assigned to you by Shichen casually, but when it comes to Lord Dio, you must obey his instructions and orders as if you were seeing me." Kotomine Kirei said lightly.

"Yes..." Since this was an order from Kotomine Kirei, as servants, they could only accept it. Hassan the Hundred Faces thought to himself, "I can sense that man's appearance isn't simple; it seems he's been disguised. I just hope he's not the Master's enemy."

Chapter 20: The Trial of Matou Kariya

After dinner, Wang Chong was just about to rest and have some champagne with his two little goddesses when he felt the door to the mansion open again. A man walked in and headed straight for Matou Zouken's room.

"Hmph, you're finally here, Matou Kariya? Little Medusa, go hide Sakura first," Wang Chong said, heading towards the basement. He wanted to decorate the place nicely, giving Matou Kariya a surprise. He also used the power of destruction to control Matou Zouken and Matou Kariya to have a plot conversation there.

The deepest part of the basement was where Zouken Matou once stored a large number of seal bugs and lust bugs. It was also the place where Matou Sakura's body was almost transformed. Of course, those bugs had long since been completely destroyed.

"A vast expanse of scorched earth."

However, Wang Chong now poured his power of destruction into the place, causing ghosts to scurry about, creating a scene even more eerie and terrifying than the insects. While not as nauseating and uncomfortable as insects, the terrifying atmosphere alone was enough to scare anyone away from entering.

As for Old Bug, he naturally mocked Matou Kariya's proposal to seize the Holy Grail in exchange for Matou Sakura's return to the Tōsaka family. However, since Wang Chong had already set up the situation, he naturally allowed Matou Zouken to steer the conversation towards Matou Sakura.

"If your goal is to avoid involving outsiders, Kariya, it seems a little late now." Matou Zouken said with a cruel smile.

"Damn old man... could it be you...?" Thinking of those disgusting bugs in Zouken's house, a bad premonition suddenly arose in Zouken's heart. Zouken didn't say anything more, just asked Zouken to follow him to the basement.

……

"Roar--!"

"what--!"

Screams and curses continued. Ghosts roamed endlessly. Matou Kariya's face paled. He had assumed this stinking old man had only created those perverted insects, but he had never imagined he'd nurtured so many resentful souls in his basement. How many lives must have been destroyed to create such terror and resentment?

What frightened Matou Kariya even more was the impenetrable black fog deep underground. Within that fog lay even more wronged souls. Sakura was currently being thrown into that place, undergoing so-called transformation.

"She cried so hard for the first three days, but from the fourth day on, there was no sound at all. At dawn today, I placed her in the center of these resentful spirits. I wanted to see how long she could hold on. She has been harassed and tortured by these resentful spirits for half a day but has not yet died. This material from the Tōsaka family is really valuable." Matou Zouken said calmly, as if this matter was nothing serious.

"Yakura!" Even though there was terror inside, Matou Kariya still suppressed the fear in his heart and stepped forward.

"Well, what's your choice? This little girl has been completely ravaged by those vengeful spirits, both physically and spiritually. She's only one step away from collapse. If you still want to save her, I'm not in the wrong."

"Of course I have to save him." Matou Kariya answered without hesitation.

"Hehehe, but until you produce results, Sakura's education will continue, and I'll still be placing my biggest bet on the next Holy Grail War. However, if you do obtain the Holy Grail, this little girl will be useless. Then her education will only take a year to complete," Zouken Matou chuckled and spoke. Zouken Matou deliberately said "a year" because Kariya still believed the Holy Grail War would not begin for another year.

"You won't go back on your word, will you, Matou Zouken?" asked Matou Kariya.

"As long as you go down now, accept the transformation of those resentful souls and hold on, I will admit that you are serious." After saying this, Matou Zouken just stared at Matou Kariya, as if he was looking forward to his performance.

Matou Kariya clenched his fists and walked downstairs without a second thought. But after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard a cold man's voice from the bottom of the stairs: "How stupid."

"Who?" Matou Kariya stopped in his tracks. He never expected that besides himself and Matou Zouken, there was a third man present.

"Da da……"

The sound of people ascending the stairs gradually increased. From the dark fog deep below, someone was about to emerge. This undoubtedly made Matou Kariya, who didn't understand the current situation, feel heavy-hearted and nervous.

"This is a trial!"

A man walked out of the thick black fog, and began to flip up the corners of his clothes with both hands. As he walked, he took off his shirt and continued:

"I believe this is a test to overcome the past. Only by overcoming the immature and escapist past can one grow."

After taking off his clothes, the man stood in a classic angled position, then slowly said to Matou Kariya above him: "Hmm? You think so too, Matou Kariya."

“You… who the hell are you! What the hell is going on, old man…!!!” Matou Kariya was about to turn around and question Matou Zouken, but he immediately found that Matou Zouken’s body gradually melted away, and finally turned into the same ghost floating around, screaming.

"Shut up, everyone," the man said calmly, silencing the still-howling ghosts. Matou Kariya, despite being startled by this scene, reacted quickly and said, "It's... it's you. You're responsible for all this black fog... And that stinky old man, Matou Zouken. Did you kill Matou Zouken?"

"That's right, Matou Kariya, the entire Matou family is now dead in name only." The man said lightly.

"Ying, Ying, she's... uh!!!" Matou Kariya was about to ask something when the black mist condensed into claws and tightly strangled Matou Kariya's neck.

"Watch your attitude when you speak. Also, you have no right to ask about Sakura's condition. You late guy." After the man said this, he released the black mist's claws. Matou Kariya fell on the stairs, covering his neck and coughing violently.

"As I just said, this is a trial, a trial to overcome your immature past. Unfortunately, Matou Kariya, you failed." said the man.

"You... what nonsense are you talking about?" Matou Kariya had no idea what was going on. Why did the old bug die? Where was Sakura now? What on earth did this guy want to do?

"Don't you understand? Just like what Matou Zouken said, who do you think was the reason that girl was adopted into the Matou family?" The man looked at Matou Kariya, who was lying on the stairs, and continued, "You shirked your responsibilities as a member of the Matou family and ultimately brought this responsibility to outsiders. Am I wrong? I think I'm not the only one who has said something similar to you."

Matou Kariya bit his lip, speechless. Matou Zouken had said this, as had his elder brother Matou Tsuruno. Even Aoi had said it so cruelly to him.

"But I am not an unreasonable person. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and you did nothing wrong in escaping. The one who was really wrong was Matou Zouken. If he hadn't used those disgusting insect magics and hadn't fallen, the mistakes he made later wouldn't have happened. On this point, I understand you very well, Matou Kariya." The man said lightly.

"Then why..."

"That's why I killed Zouken Matou, and that's why I set up this game to test you. What a pity. You didn't pass it." The man shook his head.

"Hey! What test? You better explain it clearly." Matou Kariya stood up reluctantly and said.

"I was testing whether you had truly overcome your past and truly wanted to save Sakura from the bottom of your heart. Unfortunately, you failed. You couldn't overcome your past."

"Of course I want to save Sakura! What gives you the right to question my unwillingness to save Sakura?" Matou Kariya said somewhat emotionally.

"Not convinced? Well, let me ask you two questions." The man held up two fingers and said, "The first question is, when you knew Sakura was sent to the Matou family, why didn't you tell Tosaka Aoi about Matou Zouken's insect arts? The second question is, when you saw with your own eyes that Sakura was in such a hell, being tortured every day, why did you continue to agree to this condition that would make Sakura suffer for another year? Why didn't you just play along with the old insect man and quickly tell Tosaka Aoi and Tosaka Toki what happened to Sakura? Let Sakura escape from purgatory as soon as possible."

Chapter 21: Subjugating Kariya

"...What's the use of telling them... Those guys! Those magi have long been mentally disturbed! They're not normal people at all! Otherwise, why would they send Sakura to the Matou family! Only I can save Sakura! This is the only way to save Sakura! You don't understand anything..."

"Idiot! You are the one who knows nothing! Don't be so self-righteous! Matou Kariya!" He punched Matou Kariya and knocked him to the ground again.

"Do you think you saved Sakura by doing this? In fact, you are the one who really cut off her last hope! You are a guy who knows nothing at all. You don't think that Tohsaka Tokitoki sent Sakura to your house because he doesn't care about her at all, right?" the man said angrily.

"Is not it?"

"Very good, then I will tell you why Tōsaka Tokiomi sent Sakura to your Matou family."

So the man... Wang Chong, who was familiar with the entire plot, told Matou Kariya in front of him all the reasons and consequences of Tōsaka Tokiomi sending Sakura to the Matou family.

Regarding the gifting, Rin and Sakura had no choice from the start. One possessed all elements, possessing five composite attributes, while the other possessed an imaginary element, possessing imaginary attributes. Both sisters possessed a rare talent akin to a miracle. This transcended the realm of so-called innate talent and was practically the equivalent of a spell.

Demonic nature begets demonic nature. Outstanding people who are far from the outside world are bound to "attract" the same abnormal experiences. This is beyond his control. There is only one way to deal with this fate - to consciously get out of order.

The daughters of Tohsaka Tokiomi had no other way to deal with the devil in their blood except to understand and practice magic themselves. And the fact that the protection of the Tohsaka family could only be given to one of them tormented Tohsaka Tokiomi for a long time.

Anyone who didn't become the heir would be caught up in all sorts of strange events due to their own blood, and would bring disaster upon themselves. If the Magic Association discovered such an "ordinary person", they would be happy to soak her in formalin as a specimen in the name of protection.

Because of this, the Matou family's wish to adopt Sakura as their daughter was like a gift from heaven to Tōsaka Tokiomi. He had obtained a way to enable both of his beloved daughters to inherit the first-class magic path, free from the constraints of blood ties and to forge their own paths.

In other words, Tōsaka Tokiomi wasn't really trying to send Sakura to hell. He truly believed that the Machiri family, one of the three great families, was rich in heritage, and that if Sakura became the heir to the Machiri family, it would be a valuable experience for her career as a magus. And Sakura's magical talent wouldn't be wasted.

Tōsaka Tokiomi's mistake was that he had always believed that the Matou family practiced the orthodox water magic or the use of familiars, but he did not know that Matou Zouken had degenerated into practicing the perverse magic of insect magic. Tōsaka Tokiomi was completely unaware of insect magic, otherwise he would have immediately decided to take his daughter back.

After all, Tōsaka Tokiomi might have failed as a father, but that didn't deny his love for his two daughters, who were both equally important to him. If he knew that Matou Zouken practiced this kind of magic, and had no intention of passing it on to Sakura, but was simply training her to be an excellent reproductive tool, he would have stormed the Matou family in anger.

Because of this, if Matou Kariya, the only person who knew the truth, had told Tōsaka Aoi or Tōsaka Tokitsu about the current situation of the Matou family and everything Sakura had truly experienced, perhaps Sakura's fate would not have come to this. At the very least, she wouldn't have had to endure that year-long torture and training.

Wang Chong's words were filled with emotion. Although Sakura was safe and the culprit had been apprehended, Wang Chong still felt somewhat disappointed with Matou Kariya.

You know, in other parallel worlds of Type-Moon, there are world lines where Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't send Sakura to the Matou family, and most of them sent Sakura to the Golden Diamond family, that is, the Edelfeld family, the hometown of Tokiomi's mother.

As long as Matou Kariya could properly explain this matter to Tōsaka Tokiomi or even Tōsaka Aoi, especially emphasizing that the old bug didn't regard Matou Sakura as the heir at all, but as a reproductive tool to produce excellent offspring for the Matou family, Sakura would have ended this miserable life sooner.

After hearing Wang Chong's explanation, Matou Kariya's face paled. Seeing Matou Kariya like this, Wang Chong's anger subsided somewhat. Honestly, this anger was primarily due to Tiying. Two days of mentoring and apprenticeship had deepened Wang Chong's fondness for Sakura, a character he already cherished. This was why he was so critical of this person, who claimed to save Sakura but repeatedly missed crucial opportunities.

"It's true that most magicians aren't normal people, because that's what's generally considered 'normal' in the magic world. But even if they aren't normal, they still have their own taboos. For Tokiomi, in his eyes, his daughters becoming mortals is the outcome he least wants to see. That's why he wants to send Sakura to the Matou family. He might be able to tolerate the inhumane treatment Sakura is receiving here, because he believes it's a necessary hardship to become an excellent magician. But he could never tolerate his daughter being transformed into a reproductive tool, wasting her talent. Because that's how much Tōsaka Tokiomi loves his daughter."

Wang Chong said slowly, "That's why I said you don't understand anything, Matou Kariya. No matter how abnormal Tōsaka Tokiomi is, he will definitely take care of this kind of thing. But the reason is, Matou Kariya. Even if you don't know all this, if you really just want to save Sakura, would you really not even try to explore the possibility of communicating with Tōsaka Tokiomi? Would you rather believe that monster who controls insects than Tōsaka Tokiomi?"

"Are you really doing all this because you want to save Sakura?"

These words struck Matou Kariya's heart hard. Did he really just want to save Sakura? If he only wanted to save Sakura, he would have tried everything he could, right? Wasn't telling Tōsaka Tokiomi the truth an option? But why didn't he choose that?
