Zongman: The comprehension is against the sky, shocking the star gods

If I had known my father would say this, I should have put laxatives in his tea.

However, what Rin didn't expect was that after hearing her question, Sakura just blinked and asked back.

"Didn't my sister say that we should follow this old man?"

How can you track if you don’t follow it yourself?

"what?"

Rin was a little stunned.

You still have the mind to think about this matter. It seems that your sister is in good condition?

In fact, facing her biological father's declaration of severing ties with her, it is impossible for Sakura not to be sad, but at the moment, she has not reached the state of "there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart" as in the original work.

The key factor is that with the support of Su Mo, Lin showed an attitude of never giving up.

For Ying, those were life-saving straws.

For human beings, as long as there is hope, as long as there is the last straw of life, she will not give up, just like Sakura now.

Therefore, she tried her best to control her fear of Matou Zouken, follow him, and cooperate with her sister and Lord Su Mo's unknown plan.

After understanding Xiaoying's thoughts, Su Mo shook his head.

"You don't have to take the risk yourself. I've arranged a replacement."

After hearing what he said, Sakura looked towards the direction of Matou Zouken in confusion.

Then, she saw a scarecrow that looked extremely crudely made, grunting and following the sinister old man like a naughty child.

Noticing that she was staring at him, the scarecrow suddenly turned around and gave her a terrifying smile.

What is even more terrifying than this is that whether it is Tōsaka Tokiomi's gaze, Tōsaka Aoi's gaze through the second-floor window, or the corner of Matou Zouken's eyes, all of them are projected on the scarecrow.

It was as if that extremely simple and weird straw man was the real Sakura.

For a moment, Sakura shivered slightly, feeling as if her existence was strangely robbed.

Fortunately, Su Mo gave an explanation in time.

"Don't worry, that's a substitute created using the Ugly Hour worship ritual. It's mainly for your safety, and it also allows us to see what the Matou family is planning to do."

"Don't be afraid! Master Su Mo and I can see you!"

Rin also noticed Sakura's uneasiness and squeezed her hand again.

Feeling the attention from Su Mo and her sister at the same time, Xiaoying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes! I believe in my sister, and Master Su Mo!"

Anyway, other people have nothing to do with me anymore. As long as my sister and Lord Su Mo still remember me, it doesn’t matter.

Seeing Matou Zouken leaving with his scarecrow substitute without noticing anything, Su Mo and others immediately followed.

Soon, they arrived at a Japanese-style garden - the Matou residence.

Looking at this vast courtyard located in the city center, after her resentment towards her father dissipated a little, Rin remembered her plan and began to restore her father's image in Sakura's heart.

"In fact, although my father is stubborn, he still likes Sakura very much. He said that before only out of helplessness. Although the old man of the Matou family is ugly, the conditions of the Matou family are still very good. It must be the result of my father's careful selection."

At this time, the reason why Rin deliberately restored Toosaka Tokiomi's image was not to persuade Sakura to stay in the Matou residence, but to reduce Sakura's resistance and make her willing to return to the Toosaka family.

She keenly realized that after Tohsaka Tokiomi made such a heartless declaration, Sakura seemed to have completely lost hope in her parents.

Don’t let the situation turn out to be troublesome if the original plan is completely fine but Sakura herself doesn’t want to go back.

"After all, they are one of the three great families, so there won't be any problems! Not to mention, they have more money than us!"

When complimenting, Rin didn't overdo it.

In fact, Tousaka Tokiomi's choice was indeed well thought out.

The Matou family is not only a family of magic with hundreds of years of history, but has also accumulated a lot of assets in the modern world. It can be said that they have no worries about food and clothing. Being an heir here, there is no need to worry about livelihood issues at all.

In addition, the Matou family is also in Fuyuki City, so they can help each other.

If Sakura must be adopted out, this family is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

It seems that my guess was correct and my father did put his heart into it.

Thinking of this, Lin felt much better.

If the Matou family is really reliable, she would not be opposed to becoming the heir here.

The only thing that is a bit confusing is, isn’t water magic passed down from generation to generation in the Matou family? Why did I see so many insects when I passed through the barrier just now?

At this moment, she suddenly noticed out of the corner of her eye that after entering the Matou family, Zouken Matou took the scarecrow directly to the backyard.

Seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with the expression on his face, Lin simply followed him quietly.

As long as she travels with Su Mo, she will not be discovered.

The three of them followed Matou Zouken and quickly passed through the passage in the back house and arrived at the basement.

The moment they saw the scene inside the basement, Toosaka Rin almost vomited on the spot, and Sakura's face turned pale, obviously frightened by this unprecedented situation.

[Madoka: “What the heck is this!”]

[Erica: "I turned off the live broadcast!"]

【Kanae: “I turned it off too!”】

Not to mention Madoka, even the knowledgeable Erica and Kanae, who had also seen many disgusting creatures, couldn't bear it after seeing that scene.

The three of them fled in panic.

Toosaka Rin could understand their reactions very well.

As far as the eye can see, the entire basement is crawling with insects. There are at least hundreds of thousands of insects forming an ocean here.

A large number of insects kept wriggling and climbing, leaving wet marks on their bodies. Their twisted and slippery postures made people feel physically disgusted just by looking at them.

That is a weird scene that overly challenges human aesthetics and overly tests the brain nerves.

Among all the people present, apart from Matou Zouken, the only one who could remain calm was probably Lord Su Mo in front of him.

But even Su Mo looked at the vast number of wriggling insects in front of him with a look of disgust.

"This is the insect warehouse. Did this old guy build a insect warehouse here?"

Toosaka Rin showed a look of doubt and uncertainty.

Water magic and insect magic may be related. As a family of magicians, it is not surprising that they have hidden a few secret techniques.

But from Matou Zouken's perspective, isn't today the first time that "Sakura" comes to the Matou family?

Even if you don't plan to prepare a surprise in advance, you should at least take a break and let "Sakura" get familiar with the environment, right?

Why were you so eager to bring "Sakura" to the Worm Warehouse on the first day?

This doesn't seem like an attempt to teach magic in advance, does it?

For a moment, Lin had a very ominous premonition in his heart.

At the same time, Matou Zouken grinned.

"The imaginary number attribute is valuable, but it is not suitable for the magic of the Matou family. So, go down and transform it with the Crest Bug!"

After he finished speaking, he shook his cane lightly and threw the scarecrow following him directly into the insect bin.

Almost instantly, the scarecrow's figure was covered by a wriggling tide of insects.

Seeing the scarecrow almost completely disappear, Rin and Sakura were stunned.

Both girls were very smart, so they quickly understood how Sakura would be treated if she was really adopted into the Matou family.

If it weren't for Su Mo and Lin's interference, this scarecrow might have been Sakura's possible fate.

"How is it possible... How could father allow Sakura to be adopted by such a family!?"

Lin's first reaction was unwillingness to believe it.

It would be better to kill a little girl who is only five or six years old and throw her directly into this overwhelming swarm of insects!

And soon, she reacted.

"Father...I'm afraid he doesn't know what the inside of the Matou family is like."

Whether from the perspective of magical achievements, distance, inheritance level, or trustworthiness, the Matou family is the best choice.

However, although Tōsaka Tokiomi had done all the investigation, he failed at the most critical point.

He had no idea how dark the inside story of the Matou family was.

That is completely different from how it appears.

"Damn it!"

Soon, Toosaka Rin locked onto the culprit and glared at Matou Zouken with angry eyes.

Even if the person he pushed down just now was a scarecrow, it proved that he did have bad intentions towards his sister.

This alone was enough for Toosaka Rin to sentence him to death.

"Go to hell!"

Without any time to think, she instinctively threw the two gems she had treasured since childhood at Matou Zouken, and they exploded directly.

"boom!"

The magic power stored for several years was completely consumed in this bombing.

After a few seconds, the smoke cleared.

Half of Matou Zouken's body was gone, but soon, a large number of engraved insects in the insect warehouse poured into his body and filled his structure.

After being hit head-on by an attack of this level, Matou Zouken was finally able to get rid of his cognitive impairment and truly identify the several beings behind him.

"The eldest daughter of the Tousaka family, and... Sakura?"

When he saw Sakura unharmed behind Rin, Matou Zouken was stunned.

If this is Sakura, then what was the one that followed me all the way and was thrown down by me?

A sudden chill ran up his spine.

He thought of a more serious problem. Toosaka Rin was following him the whole time, so why was he not on guard at all?

Obviously, the young Rin and Sakura were unable to do this, so the only thing that truly clouded their perceptions was a single being.

"Young man, do you want to be my enemy?"

Matou Zouken took a step back and forced himself to look at the man in front of the two girls. Almost instinctively, he didn't dare to look up at the other person, but his tone was still fierce.

"You are not stupid enough to fight a magician in his magic workshop, are you?"

"Ok?"

Accompanied by a clear voice.

The young man's gaze finally fell on Matou Zouken.

"boom!"

A huge pressure came over him, causing Zouken Matou to fall directly to the ground.

The heavy, unimaginable pressure almost crushed his entire body.

The body made entirely of insects was spread out on the ground like plasticine. The insects were also restrained by the strong pressure and fell to the ground, unable to fly at all. Their sharp mouthparts kept making death-like buzzing sounds.

"what?"

Matou Zouken was suddenly shocked.

There was no sign of magic power flowing, nor did he hear any spells being chanted by the other party, and he couldn't even see any signs that the other party was actively attacking.
