They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

"Just call me if you need anything."

Ling Yu chuckled silently at Jin Shanshan's arrogance.

He sat down next to Ellie, and Ellie took the opportunity to lean into Ling Yu's arms.

Ling Yu prefers biting candy to slowly licking it, and coincidentally, Nero shares the same hobby as Ling Yu.

The sound of teeth chewing candy echoed in the courtyard.

It's crunchy when you take a bite.

While the others still had plenty left, the two of them had already run out of candy.

……

at the same time

Within the fabricated dreamscape that Ling Yu had specially woven for Tokiomi Tohsaka.

After being left to his own devices for several years, Tokiomi Tohsaka was finally summoned by Zouken Matou.

When he entered the living room with a puzzled look in his eyes, he immediately saw Matou Zouken sitting in the main seat.

Just as I remembered, he leaned on a cane, his limbs as thin as a mummy, his aged face devoid of color, only his sunken eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

Upon seeing Sakura arrive, Zouken Matou revealed an unpleasant smile.

"Hehe, Sakura, I suppose you don't know the real reason why Tokiomi Tohsaka gave you up for adoption to my Matou family."

Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Seeing that Sakura remained silent, Zouken Matou didn't think much of it.

In his eyes, Sakura was nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.

Once you've entered the Matou family's gates, don't even think about leaving.

Jie Jie Jie!

“A magic crest in a magician’s family can usually only be passed down to one successor.”

Zouken Matou stood up and slowly walked to Sakura: "So, unfortunately, Tokiomi Tohsaka chose your sister and not you, but you are also very lucky because you are about to inherit the magic crest of my Matou family."

Upon hearing this, Tokiomi Tohsaka's usually expressionless face finally showed a hint of emotion.

Is it coming?!

Seeing the longing in Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes, Zouken Matou's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"However, due to the special nature of imaginary numbers, I will need to make some modifications to your body."

Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't take this seriously.

The insignia of each magical family is kept secret; perhaps the Matou family's inheritance method is different from that of the Tohsaka family.

"Alright, I won't say any more. Come with me."

After saying that, Zouken Matou, leaning on his cane, slowly walked forward.

Tokiomi Tohsaka followed closely behind.

Seeing the slow movements of Matou Zouken, Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was anxious, wished he could kick him so that Zouken could walk faster.

Of course, he only thought about it and didn't put it into action.

After all, he was no longer the renowned Flame Earl in the Clock Tower, but a helpless little girl.

"..."

Led by Zouken Matou, the two arrived at the basement of the Matou family's house.

Compared to the Tohsaka family's basement, this place was extremely damp and dark.

The environment made Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was originally a fire-attribute mage, frown a little, but when he thought that the Matou family's magic attribute was water, he had no more concerns.

When the two arrived at a door, Zouken Matou stopped, and that aged voice came again.

"Take off your clothes."

Tokiomi Tohsaka was puzzled.

Do the Matou family members need to take off their clothes to inherit the seal?

However, he didn't think much of it and obediently took off his clothes.

Then, Zouken Matou gently tapped the ground with his cane.

The next second, black water appeared out of thin air, wrapped around Tokiomi Tohsaka's body, lifted him into the air, and gradually moved him forward.

"Sakura, this is the only way to inherit the Matou family seal, so you must hold on."

Looking at Sakura enveloped in the water, Zouken Matou's eyes gleamed with an inexplicable light.

As Tokiomi Tohsaka's body was manipulated downwards by Zouken Matou's water magic, sparse sounds rang in his ears.

Tokiomi Tohsaka initially thought it was the sound of water and didn't pay much attention to it, but he soon realized something was wrong.

The sound was very noisy.

Rather than the sound of rushing water, it sounded more like something coming together and rubbing against each other.

As he focused intently on looking into the darkness below, his pupils suddenly contracted.

What did he see?

insect!

A dense swarm of insects!

This discovery immediately terrified Tokiomi Tohsaka.

He already knew what was going to happen next.

But he never imagined that the Matou family's magic crest would be so filthy and evil!

Tokiomi Tohsaka was inclined to refuse.

But this is not reality; his current situation is that of a puppet forcibly stuffed into the environment by Ling Yu.

It will only follow the pre-set route.

Not everyone can transcend the limitations like Grandpa Tong.

"Let's see how long you can last."

High above, Zouken Matou's dark eyes gleamed with an eerie light.

As they got closer to the insect storage, Tokiomi Tohsaka already knew what kind of insects were below.

Imprinting insect.

A low-level, extremely evil familiar.

(For details, please refer to Baidu.)

He never imagined that the Matou family's magic crest was passed down through something like this.

"Matou Zouken!!!"

The moment his body was fully inside the insect chamber, Tokiomi Tohsaka roared inwardly.

however

Even if there is anger in one's heart.

He could only watch helplessly as the insects crawled all over him.

His anger towards Zouken Matou reached its peak.

The thought that he himself had done something so foolish as to give Sakura to the Matou family is unbearable.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was extremely annoyed.

He actually sent his daughter into the abyss with his own hands!

It's all his fault!

……

external

Tokiomi Tohsaka's body twitched incessantly.

This is the result of neural feedback to the brain.

Although it was an illusion, the experience felt extremely real.

Otherwise, why do you think illusions can kill people?

that's it

Tokiomi Tohsaka begins to experience life in the Matou family from Sakura's perspective.

Being ravaged by countless insects every day, even with Tokiomi Tohsaka's willpower, he was on the verge of collapse.

Not to mention his youngest daughter.

The thought that he himself had sent his daughter into the inherently evil Matou family filled Tokiomi Tohsaka with increasing remorse every day.

But also increasing was the anger towards Zouken Matou.

He forced himself to remain rational, preventing himself from completely breaking down.

This torment lasted for ten years.

Yes, ten years.

Ling Yu arranged the same number of years that Sakura experienced in the original work for Tokiomi Tohsaka.

This includes all the inhumane treatment he suffered during that period.

That night

While everyone else was fast asleep, Ling Yu stepped into the imaginary space.

When he saw Tokiomi Tohsaka again, his soul was as fragile as a bubble.

Clearly, he was on the verge of a mental breakdown, clinging to life by the last breath.

Seeing this, Ling Yu half-squatted down and placed one hand on his forehead.

The infusion of spiritual power allowed his nearly shattered spirit to recover.

Next second

Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly opened his eyes.

He quickly got up and looked around, still shaken.

When he found himself transformed back into Tokiomi Tohsaka, he looked completely dazed.

"Is it a dream?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka murmured to himself.

"How was your sleep? Did you sleep well?"

Just then, a voice came from the side, and Tokiomi Tohsaka quickly looked over.

However, when Tokiomi Tohsaka saw Ling Yu, he was stunned.

“You, you are!?”

Dream?

How could a dream be so real?

"what did you do to me."

Tokiomi Tohsaka said in a hoarse voice.

"I just let you experience Sakura's life in the Matou family once. How is it? Are you satisfied?" Ling Yu asked calmly.

Tokiomi Tohsaka's pupils contracted, and he quickly grabbed Ling Yu's leg, urgently asking, "Sakura, yes, where is Sakura!"

"It seems you haven't completely lost your sense of responsibility as a father."

"Don't worry, I rescued Sakura before any of this happened."
