"Ilya? Are you here alone again? It's very cold today, you should go back."

"Ilya?"

"You look beautiful even when you're not smiling. I wonder what you'll look like when you smile. I really want to see it for myself." Illyasviel von Einzbern's face still wore that innocent smile, her eyes fixed on Lin Yan without blinking.

“Ilya understands. Since Lin Yan says he wants to go back, then Ilya should go back. Ilya is an obedient child.” As soon as Ilyasviel von Einzbern turned around, the Berserker rushed out, and Ilyasviel von Einzbern's eyes widened in terror.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and blood splattered everywhere.

They didn't even know what had happened.

“Liar. Berserker, dead?” It took Illyasviel von Einzbern at least a minute to realize what was happening and she muttered to herself.

……

Whether Berserker disobeyed Illyasviel von Einzbern's orders and launched the attack or not, Lin Yan no longer cared; none of that mattered anymore. In the instant of the attack, Lin Yan had already dealt with Berserker.

The potential unleashed in that instant was limitless. Lin Yan didn't even realize he needed to control it slightly, inadvertently allowing Illyasviel von Einzbern to see a more realistic side of Lin Yan's strength.

The sky was tinged with a thin layer of ink, like an oil painting, the ink spreading out like flowing ink.

It is dawn, or it is dusk.

Before them stretched a vast grassland, an endless expanse that seemed to have no end. The sky above was impassable, and this area was once a battlefield.

King Arthur doesn't understand human emotions... The knight before him showed no emotion in his eyes, yet his words were filled with sorrow. People began to question their king, and so the collapse of everything was about to begin.

Waking up from his dream, Lin Yan's eyes rarely revealed human emotions, but rather a trace of sadness like ripples. Lin Yan rarely had such a long period of mental blankness, and it took him a while to fully wake up.

"Did you sleep for half a day? No wonder your headache is gone." Lin Yan muttered to himself as he got up and walked towards the door, where he saw Saber looking preoccupied. "What's wrong? You don't look well this morning. Did something happen while I was sleeping?"

"It was just a dream."

"Dream?

"Nothing's wrong. Come and have breakfast."

It was already nine o'clock in the morning.

"Lin Yan. It's just you and me this morning. Shouldn't we wake you up?"

"Everyone's probably still sleeping. So much happened yesterday, there's no need to wake them up. Just leave the food out, they'll eat it themselves."

Saber nodded.

"Berserker is gone. Now it's just Caster, Lancer, and Assassin. They're not as powerful as Berserker."

"You can certainly say that to Lin Yan, but we can't. Lancer's Master is still unknown, and Assassin isn't a fair and square opponent. As for Caster, we haven't even met him yet."

"Humble, humble. You can count the number of opponents who can rival King Arthur on your ten fingers, right?" Lin Yan couldn't help but praise Saber, especially since she still looked preoccupied. Sometimes you shouldn't be too harsh on girls, especially since Lin Yan's strength didn't actually require Saber to risk her life on the battlefield, although he didn't want to use his full power.

At this moment, Lin Yan suddenly noticed the aura of a stranger. Then he saw a petite figure and blurted out.

The girl before him usually wore a purple dress. Her long silver hair and red eyes were inherited from her mother, while her bangs were from her father. Although she appeared younger than Shirou, she was actually a year older than him. This was because Illya had undergone several abnormal magical alterations while in her mother's womb, causing her to grow very slowly, even stopping her growth before the onset of secondary sexual characteristics. Therefore, her physique and appearance remained at the age of nine. Furthermore, according to Zouken Matou's assessment, she wouldn't live more than a year after the Fifth Holy Grail War.

“Iliasfar!”

"Wait a minute, I have nothing to do with you. I don't want to fight you, so can you stop? Honestly, it's shameful to be a lady like you. Honestly, you're older than me but even less self-controlled."

"What!?" Saber exclaimed, somewhat displeased.

"Don't be so angry. This isn't the place for you right now."

"Ilya?"

"Thank you, Saber's Master. I am truly grateful for your concern for me, your enemy." Illyasviel von Einzbern winked at Lin Yan with an innocent and carefree expression. "That's right, big brother is still big brother after all."

"Get out of here, you rude person!"

"Who is the rude one? Servent is a hundred years too early to have a problem with me."

"I have no obligation or intention to obey you! If you have time to talk, get out of Lin Yan's sights now."

"I won't listen. Lin Yan, let's do it the same way as yesterday, okay? Let's call it 'carrying the baby on your back'!"

When the sea lion cries

001 The Witch and Ten Tons of Gold

[Ding, an unknown system malfunction has occurred. This is a reminder that an unknown system malfunction has occurred. Please prepare accordingly, Master.]

At this moment, the light beams before Lin Yan's eyes grew increasingly bright, even to the point of being blinding, and everything appeared pure white. Lin Yan's heart remained largely unmoved. Only fragments of his encounter with Saber flashed through his mind. Although the time was short, it was incredibly precious. This period wasn't exactly peaceful, but it wasn't particularly turbulent either.

After all, the gap in strength is too great.

The light in front of him gradually became less dazzling, and Lin Yan seemed to be able to see things more clearly. What kind of world was this?

“Maria. Look, you can already see the dock. Look, that's it. Can you see it?”

"I can see the dock! I can see the dock!"

The first thing you see is a girl with blonde hair tied in a cute ponytail. Her name is Ushiromiya Akika, the eighteen-year-old eldest daughter of the main family. She is also the daughter of Kurausu and Natsuhi, and a candidate for the next head of the family.

The girl is playful, spirited, and adorable.

[Ding! Welcome to the new world—Umineko When They Cry.]

The blank space contains a floating text description: "Umineko When They Cry is a visual novel developed by the doujin circle 07thExpansion and released on August 17, 2007. The game is set on Rokkenjima, a small island in the Izu Islands of Japan. This island, with a circumference of about 10 kilometers, is the private property of the wealthy Ushiromiya family, and legend has it that 10 tons of gold belonging to Kinzo, the head of the Ushiromiya family, are hidden on the island."

Lin Yan quickly skimmed through the background information: "On October 4th and 5th, 1986, members of the Ushiromiya family gathered here for their annual family meeting. The children, knowing that the patriarch Kinzo's days were numbered, plotted to divide the inheritance. At this time, a typhoon struck, cutting off telephone lines and preventing ships from setting sail, leaving the 18 people on the island completely isolated. A mysterious series of murders then unfolded. These people, scheming for treasure, suddenly received suspicious letters from a 'witch.' Could there be a 19th person on the island? The recurring brutal murders and the unsolved mysteries left at the scene raise questions: Who will die next, who will survive, or will everyone be killed? Is the culprit among the 18, or the mysterious 'witch'?" As for "Umineko," written in Japanese kanji as "海猫" (kaineko), it refers to a seabird with a call similar to a cat's, belonging to the order Charadriiformes and family Gullidae. It is about 45 centimeters long, with a pure white body, a gray-black back and wings, and black stripes on its tail. It lives and nests in groups on islands near Japan. It differs somewhat from the "sea cat" commonly known in my country. Sea cats are territorial animals, often fighting amongst themselves to claim territory until the opponent flees. After mating, sea cats are even more intolerant of other sea cats intruding; even if other cubs accidentally fall into their territory, they will mercilessly peck them to death. The game's title, "Umineko When They Cry," reflects not only the fact that the rescue of the 18 members of Rokkenjima Island will only occur after the storm when the sea cats cry again, but also the family feud and territorial disputes.

I read through the long and complicated introduction quickly and have already learned the relevant information.

"A serial killer? A witch?"

Lin Yan was somewhat surprised. This was no longer a world of combat based on strength, high technology, or magic, but one that required considerable intelligence and reasoning ability.

"Interesting," Lin Yan muttered to himself.

Currently, Lin Yan's role seems to be Right Palace Lin Yan.

He replaced the right-hand man, Rin Yan.

Rin Yan, the son of Ushiromiya, is cheerful, resilient, and loves to joke. He possesses an extremely strong curiosity and, along with Maria, is an oasis in the family. He is lecherous, kind, treats his servants like family, and is adept at creating a pleasant atmosphere. As the son of Lyuf and Kirie, he is over 180cm tall, physically strong, and emotionally sensitive. However, he once left home due to his poor English and dissatisfaction with his father, but later returned to the Ushiromiya family. Rin Yan's name symbolizes a fighter, indomitable and deeply influenced by his stepmother, he uses the chessboard flip theory to solve problems. His catchphrase is "No way, no way, absolutely no way." In EP4 of the game, it is revealed that he was not born of Asumu and committed a crime six years ago. In EP5, he becomes the new Golden Witch. In EP6, he redeems himself, allowing Beatrice to be reborn, and ultimately becomes her lover. In EP7, he mourns and leaves the stage, revealing in the recap that he forgot the promise of the White Horse six years ago. In EP8, he becomes the lord of the Golden City, comforts Enju, and brings liberation to his family. In the end, Lin Yan remembered his past, reunited with Yuan Shou, and reunited with Beatrice, bringing happiness to his family.

This is the relevant information about Lin Yan, who is an OEM manufacturer.

But none of that matters now. What's next is to see how Lin Yan plays this game of turning points, though we've already got a general idea. It seems Lin Yan made a mistake midway through, but later redeemed himself, and they even ended up as a couple. However, he wouldn't make such a mistake, and as for the ending with a couple…

Lin Yan looked at another person—Wu Jiang.

Ushiromiya Kirie was Ushiromiya Ryūfū's second wife and Ushiromiya Rin'en's stepmother. Although she was ostensibly his stepmother, she was actually his biological mother.

She is approachable, elegant, rational, strong-willed, decisive, intelligent, and possesses strong analytical skills and unique insights. She is also highly skilled with a gun. Due to her powerful abilities and deep cunning, she is considered one of the candidates for the final mastermind in the story.

"One of the candidates for the ultimate mastermind?"

Even a woman is not to be underestimated; this is certainly not a simple world. If it could be solved simply through destruction and force, that would be the easiest way.

After all, Lin Yan was observant and had already noticed the "abilities" in the system—most of the abilities he had previously acquired still existed, especially Saitama's One-Punch Man ability. However, there were no new notifications. This was probably due to a system malfunction.

However, this also makes things quite tricky.

In other words, Lin Yan has no system assistance or support in this world.

Surviving in this complex world, especially with a series of murders right off the bat, is indeed quite difficult.

Lin Yan doesn't like being a lamb to the slaughter.

He must be a hunter!

We're almost there.

The one who spoke at this moment was Ushiromiya Joji, the 23-year-old son of Eba and Hideyoshi, who was the only adult among Kinzo's grandchildren.

"My apologies, it seems this old woman has been too talkative. I'm truly sorry if I've offended you."

002 The Cunning Lolita Maria

“I don’t care at all, and I’m not unhappy at all, so please don’t worry about it, Grandma Xiong Ze.”

"Lin Yan, I can see the island, I can see the island. Over there, over there, over there."

"Let me see, I can see it. It's been six years, and the island's silhouette is still exactly the same as I remember it."

The outline of a small island did indeed appear faintly in the field of vision; that should be Rokkenjima.

Rokkenjima is a small island about 10 kilometers long in the Izu Islands. It is the private island of the Ushiromiya family, a wealthy family in Japan.

Although Rokkenjima is set on the Izu Islands, the architecture of the Ushiromiya family, the main setting of the story, is all based on buildings near Tokyo. For example, the exterior of the Ushiromiya family's newly built hotel is inspired by the old Furukawa Garden in Kita Ward, Tokyo; the main family mansion is based on Baba Park in Meguro Ward; and the chapel that appears in Episode 2 is based on the Western-style house in the old Iwasaki Residence Garden in Taito Ward. These locations demonstrate the close connection between Rokkenjima's architectural style and landscape and the architecture near Tokyo.

"Ugh, I can't find it." Maria Ushiromiya suddenly levitated halfway through her body and then made some strange noises as she shouted into the distance.

Maria Ushiromiya deeply admires witches and aspires to become one herself. While she appears to be an innocent-looking little girl, she actually possesses a witch-like personality and her wish is to live happily with her mother.

Lin Yan knew it from the first glance at Maria's eyes.

This little girl, who looks like just a little girl, must have a dark and cruel personality deep down. The color in her eyes has already revealed her true nature.

However, no one could doubt that such a small child could do anything cruel.

The saying "At birth, human nature is inherently good" has misled countless people.

Does being young equate to innocence? Not necessarily.

"Maria, what's wrong? Did you drop something?"

"Can't find it, can't find it."

Maria continued speaking, pointing her finger in the direction of the sea, indicating that she hadn't left anything on the deck.

"What's wrong? You said you can't find something? I'll help you look for it. What are you looking for?"

“Strange. I remember there was a small rock nearby with a tiny torii gate or something on it? Yes, there was. It was the first sign I saw when I approached the island, so I remember it very clearly.”

Lin Yan said subconsciously.

He wasn't too surprised. Originally, Zhanren's memories had all appeared in his memory, so it wasn't strange that he could come to such a conclusion and say these words.

"Lin Yan, you're amazing. You still remember it so clearly even though it's been six years since I last came here."

“Indeed there are. I remember now, there are things like a small town shrine and torii gate on the rocks. Now that you mention it, I really can’t find them. I remember they were there last year,” said Ushiromiya Jojiya.

"Can't find it, can't find it."

Maria Ushiromiya continued muttering, and her incessant chatter was quite irritating. At least in Lin Yan's eyes, the little girl in front of him had no cuteness or innocence whatsoever.

"I think it was probably swept away by the waves. After all, the rock itself was small, and after years of weathering, it was probably quite fragile."

“I think so too, but I heard it only disappeared this summer,” Xiong Zepo echoed.

"I heard that a huge bolt of lightning struck one night and shattered the ancestral hall. The fishermen all say that lightning striking the guardian ancestral hall is a bad omen; the Thunder God won't come, the Thunder God won't come."

Grandma Xiong Ze said with a smile.

“Ominous, a bad omen,” Maria muttered to herself, while Zhu Zhixiang smiled at Xiong Zepo and said, “Xiong Zepo, stop talking. Maria is too young to understand jokes.”

"Don't worry, Maria, nothing terrible will happen." As the eldest son of this grandchild, Joji seemed to feel a sense of responsibility, so he said some comforting words, placing his hand on Maria's shoulder to reassure his young sister. However, Maria's expression remained as serious as ever, as if she truly realized that some ominous premonition was gradually approaching.

Only Lin Yan knew that Maria was right.

Indeed, misfortune has befallen us.

Soon after the reward, misfortune will befall everyone, accompanied by slaughter and bloodshed, in an endless cycle.

"Ominous, ominous."

Maria kept repeating those two words, especially coming from the mouth of a young child, in the eerie atmosphere. The others couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines, an unease spreading through their bodies.

"Maria, if you keep chanting like that, bad luck might really come your way!"

"That's what Granny Xiongze said half-jokingly."

I thought that this would stop the child from talking, but Maria stared at Kumazawa-basa seriously and then said, word by word.

"Ominous things will come."

"Oh? You said you'd come. Where are you coming from?" Lin Yan interjected, wanting to see how this little girl would answer.

Maria, however, pointed earnestly at the sky.
