Seeing that Wei Gong Shirou didn't mean to hide it, Xue Qiong simply asked, "Then, do you want us to go, or do you want us not to go?" ”

"He just wanted to go alone." Rin Tosaka pointed at Emiya Shirou and answered for him first: "But this is simply stupid, even a certain priest said that there was a problem with it, and he said that he didn't want to involve others..."

"Tsk!" Xue Qiong smacked her lips, and after a few seconds said, "I thought I was already deeply involved in these things..."

"No, I have faith in my Servant." Emiya Shirou said stubbornly.

"Why do you two bother?" Xue Qiong changed to a more comfortable position, and then said: "Originally, we were going to go up the mountain to have a look tonight, and it has nothing to do with whether you come to me or not..."

"Then you just agreed to go up together?" Rin Tosaka asked.

Xue Qiong smiled and said, "At eleven o'clock in the evening, I was waiting at the foot of the mountain. ”

-------

Xue Qiong's activities, let's not mention them for the time being. That afternoon, Rin Tosaka came to the gate of the house as planned. Her purpose was to find the Dirty Inkstone, because judging from the performance of the Dirty Inkstone last night, she, Shirou Emiya, and Xue Qiong all agreed that the Dirty Inkstone knew something.

"Rin, there are three places in the internal structure of the building, and the size of the space is not right." Archer didn't show up, and made a voice next to Rin Tosaka.

"Where?" Rin Tosaka asked.

"Second floor." Archer's voice was steady, "It's supposed to be a staircase leading to the ground." ”

"Do you feel something?" Rin Tosaka then asked.

"Yes, yes." Archer said contemptuously, "But it's something we don't care about at all, we just need to find the right master." ”

"No, I'm going to take a look."

During this conversation, Archer easily found the secret passage hidden behind the wall, opened it, and then walked down the stairs with Rin Tosaka.

Then Rin Tosaka looked at the scene in front of him and froze.

Bugger. There are bugs everywhere.

Legged, unpushed, crawling, squirming, flying...

Eggs, larvae, pupa, cocoons, flying insects...

Yes, everywhere. There was hardly anything else in the eyes, and the nose smelled a foul smell that was too complex to distinguish the composition.

"Kiri, no, Makiri's training ground..."Rin Tosaka hugged his head and squatted down.

She's not the kind of little girl who screams at the sight of bugs.

In fact, the last time Xue Qiong showed her the marking worm taken out of Jian Tong Sakura's body, she guessed that there would be such a place in Jian Tong's house... It's just that guessing and actually seeing it must be different.,At the same time, I feel pain because of the pain that Sakura has experienced in my heart.。

"Father, what the hell have we done...," Rin Tosaka whispered to herself.

Although she has long accepted the cursed fate of the magician, she will live with herself, and she will not sympathize with Sakura Makiri, but after all, she is still a sister...

If Xue Qiong or Xiaoyun were here, it would be indispensable to routinely hack Tosaka Shichen, but at this time, only Archer was here.

Unfortunately, Archer isn't the type to comfort people.

Archer patted Rin Tosaka on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about that just yet." Our speed is fast, and I don't know when I'll come back, especially if we meet him in Maqiri's cultivation ground, it's really not good. ”

"I understand, thank you." Rin Tosaka grabbed Archer's hand and stood up from the ground.

A few minutes later, they continued their search on the second floor.

"Here." Archer gestured to a wall in the hallway.

Rin Tosaka understood what he meant, and recited a spell, and the phantom was quickly dispelled, and the wall there became a door.

Archer stabbed the lock with his weapon, and then entered the hidden room with Rin Tosaka.

Then, with the stench blowing on the face, there was another unacceptable scene in the door.

"It seems that the dirty inkstone itself is also in trouble, and it is the kind that is so busy that it is too busy." Even though Archer looked at such a scene, his tone remained the same, "His house was about to be demolished, but he didn't choose to clean up the battlefield, but just used a simple illusion to hide the door of the house, and he didn't even dispose of the corpse, he raised insects, shouldn't it be quick to clean up?" It's been three days..."

This room is where Shinji Kiriku originally lived. And now, although Shinji Maki has moved to the "guest room" on the first floor that almost no one has lived in, it is still almost the same as it was that day, including the two corpses of Mizuku Ayako, who have begun to decay rapidly after three days...

"The other side is also strong, very strong. But I don't understand this, there is no known magic that can cause such a trace..."Rin Tosaka tried not to pay attention to the corpse abandoned in the remains of the luxurious double bed, focusing on some marks on the ground.

Even if it's a magician, and it's very good, but Rin Tosaka's age is still too young after all, and there are almost no dead people I've seen, especially if it's so miserable, and it's a classmate of my own school. If the group of researchers were here, they must have put on masks and gloves without any psychological pressure, and they might be able to quickly see Mr. Zhu's fighting methods from the state of the corpse... Of course, Rin Tosaka also thought of the need to do this, but gave up because of mental resistance.

"Look here." Rin Tosaka pinched his nose with one hand and pointed to a neat depression in the wooden floor with the other, and said to Archer: "As a family of magicians that have been passed down for hundreds of years, this is still their base camp, and the reinforcement enchantment attached to the building cannot be weak. But under the man's attack, the floor still sank into such a clearly shaped piece, it was almost like a seal under it..."

Archer stared at the pit that Mr. Zhu had smashed out, then looked back at the body of Mei Ayako, and after thinking for a while, he said in a very confident tone: "Pliers." ”

"Pliers?" Although Rin Tosaka roughly knew that his Servant was proficient in all kinds of weapons, his mind couldn't turn for a while.

"Crab claws, to be exact... The girl over there was cut off by the pliers, and the pit was smashed out by the pliers. Archer said, then pointed to another battle trail left on the floor, an oval-shaped, small but deep hole, and continued:

"If you think about it this way, this can be explained. This is a gigantic, sharp and slender arthropod poked out of the crab's hole. ”

"Crabs," Rin Tosaka muttered, though her nose pinching was strange, "Could it be the use of giant crabs to make demons?" ”

Archer crouched down, looked at the floor again, shook his head, and said to Rin Tosaka, "It's unlikely to be a demon. Because you see, apart from those few marks, there is not even a single scratch on the ground, which means that the crab has not been there all along. Also, according to these traces, it is speculated that the crab must be very large, not to mention whether this room can fit down, whether it can walk in through that small door, let's just say that we only saw traces of battle here, and the other party should not know how to use this room for a while before jumping out to fight with people... If it was an envoy with him, he should have been discovered when he passed through the gate of the house. ”

"The kind that gets bigger and smaller? It's not right..."Rin Tosaka cut his hair, and immediately overturned another idea, "Could it be actually a séance?" Summoning only a part of the legendary monster and sending it back immediately after launching an attack to save mana? It's still not right, if you have that magic power, you can do more damage with the simplest energy attack..."

"Rin, look at this." Archer swept the ground with his hand, then gathered a small pile of ash.

"Is this made by insects?" Rin Tosaka looked at the pile of ashes and said uncertainly, "The magic of the Makiri family is not based on fire or light, that is, was it done by the attacker?" ”

Rin Tosaka suddenly stopped talking to herself, and then said out the door, "Don't hide, Shinji, I know you're there." ”

"Tosaka, you..." Shinji Makiri appeared from outside the door, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

Rin Tosaka didn't take people seriously at all, and continued to check the traces on the ground defenselessly, and said, "It just so happens that you're here too, can you please tell us about what happened here?" Don't ask me why I know, just look at the face of the corpse over there and you can guess that this was your room. ”

Although Rin Tosaka used the word please, it was completely in the tone that if you don't say it, I will hit you.

"You, you..."Shinji Maki still stammered and didn't look like he was working, "What are you doing here?!! ”

"Oh? Looks like you don't want to say it? Rin Tosaka looked at Shinji Makiri's face and said with a smile.

"No, I said, I said !!"

-------

Twenty minutes later, Xue Qiong received a phone call, and the caller ID was the landline of the Wei Gong family.

"Hello? Emiya-san, do you have anything else to say? ”

"It's me," Rin Tosaka's voice came from the earpiece.

"Oh?" Xue Qiong smiled and said, "I'm used to it, for other people's homes..."

"Less wordy!!"

Then Rin Tosaka relayed the words that came out of Shinji Makiri's mouth.

"Oh, that's the case..."Xue Qiong clipped his phone between his shoulders, and while looking at what he hastily wrote down on paper, he confirmed: "At first, rats turned into people, and then parts of the body would become crab claws and crab legs, and they could also give birth to carapaces on their bodies for defense, and they would also summon light clusters that fell from the sky to carry out energy attacks..."

Xue Qiong paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "Tosaka, have you heard of the druid?" ”

"Ancient Celtic religions? Does that have anything to do with that guy? Rin Tosaka asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, when I didn't say it."

Xue Qiong put down the phone, relayed it to the bald head beside her, and then dialed Xiaoyun's phone number.
