In the afternoon, in the mansion of the Forest of Magic.

Alice brought back the results of the investigation from the Red Devil Pavilion and the two girls she met on the road.

Or rather, a god, and a living god.

The so-called human god is a person who exercises divine power in the form of a human being. Unlike the divine power that the shrine maiden used by the gods descended by the gods, Sanae Higashiya was able to use the power of the gods by her own will, which can be described as a very rare situation.

Needless to say, the gods said frankly that they wanted to find Mo Ming, and they did save the tongue of Alice, who was going to go to Youkai Mountain to find her.

In Alice's bedroom, there was still the small round table.

The dolls moved more chairs. Alice, Hina Kagiyama, Sanae and Mo Ming sat around the table.

"That's exactly what happened. Mo Ming told the truth about the prophecy.

"How can this be," Sanae of Dongfenggu widened her eyes, "Does Reimu Senpai know?"

Mo Ming shook his head, if he knew, he wouldn't be here.

"My personal knowledge of prophecy doesn't help much, but if I want to bring good luck and blessings, it's in my business. ”

"How much does it cost?"

"If you want to dispel bad luck, it's 500 yen, and if you pray for blessings, it's 500 yen, and if you bless the wind god bless for 1,000 yen," Sanae calculated, "If you add a blessing and a blessing to the gods, the discount will only cost 3,000 yen." ”

"It's not easy for the gods. Mo Ming sighed.

"Just kidding. ”

"I know," Mo Ming looked at Alice, "why did ......you find the god of doom?

"That's the best option," Alice shook her head, "I've found a lot of books about gods and prophecies from the Red Devil Pavilion, first of all, ......"

"Excuse me. "Since he entered the house just now, the god of misfortune, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Do you have any suggestions?" asked Alice politely.

"I want to discuss some private matters with Mr. Mo Ming. ”

Mo Ming: "Uh...... What is it about?"

The god of misfortune does not speak.

The atmosphere froze suddenly.

The god of misfortune spoke again: "Private matters are very important, and it will take a while. ”

"Ahem," Alice coughed, looking at Sanae, "I'll go get some tea." ”

Sanae nodded: "I'm going to help too." ”

The two of them just left the room.

......

......

The door was shut, and the room fell silent.

Hina Kagiyama left the chair and looked at the bedroom, then poked her finger at a doll sitting on the closet with interest.

Mo Ming looked at the graceful back of the god of misfortune, thinking about what the so-called "private topic" in the words just now was. Miss Sanae was on the side just now、It doesn't seem like it was a prank from Miss Kazezhu when she visited the shrine last time。

For a moment no one spoke.

"Yo, Miss Doshen," Mo Ming decided to speak first to ease the awkward atmosphere, "I haven't seen you for more than a month since the New Year's Eve Festival, where have you made your fortune recently?"

Still with his back to him, the god bowed slightly and continued to tease the puppet, and after a long while, he straightened up.

"You and private people should be the first acquaintance," Jian Shan Hina turned around and looked at Mo Ming and smiled slightly, "It should be said that when you meet for the first time, please take care of me." ”

"This ...... Which one are you?"

"Feather clothes have to ascend to heaven, and it is sad to remember the past. Can't you see Kaguya again, take the elixir of immortality?"

Mo Ming gasped, and immediately calmed himself down.

It's not clear how it was done, but if it's Mt. Horai, there's really no need to doubt its ability, the problem is......

"Why are you here, and you're dressed like this, where have you gone?"

"Is that what you want to ask?"

Mo Ming was choked and was silent for a while.

"I'm sorry, I didn't go to you, it's not that I don't trust, it's just ......"

"You seem to have misunderstood, private is not Penglai Mountain Huiye. ”

Mo Ming was really a little stunned at this time.

The woman didn't give Mo Ming much time to be in a daze, and slowly walked towards Mo Ming's seat.

He still has a slight smile on his face, as if he is a delicate puppet without the slightest wave.

"The owner of the Night Eclipse Plain, the king of the moon capital, why would she abandon her reputation and responsibility and live in seclusion in the poor countryside of Gensokyo?"

Mo Ming was silent.

"Have you ever thought about that?"

There was no answer.

After a while, Mo Ming asked rhetorically, "Since you are not Kaguya, have I ever thought that it seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"

"Although it is not her, it is related to it. ”

Before leaving the Moon Capital, Moonnight gave her memories and the power of the gods to the puppet she had carved, and asked the puppet to look after the people she had abandoned. ”

"Before he knew that he had lost his memory, Yue Yuzun had chosen to leave, and how could the puppet who retained his complete memory be willing to leave it safely? Knowing this, he assisted the Eight Meanings and Gods of the Moon Night Meeting, and did something even more excessive——"

"First she deprived the puppet of her affection, making it impossible for her to identify with the memories from the moonlit night in her mind, and then imposed a ban on the puppet, which was a curse that bound her to stay in the night field for eternity, and once she left, she would die. Naturally, the Eight Meanings and God were on guard. ”

"Only later, things changed. ”

"The feelings of the gods are not innate, they are all acquired. ”

"The doll that lost its feelings gained the power to be abandoned by the moonlight and became a true god. ”

"That's all to come to her. But in the meantime, there are also some trivial things that happen, such as the doll regaining her emotions. ”

So she was going to die, and she did. ”

The above is the story of this puppet, and it is also the reason why it is related to the moonlit night. ”

Mo Ming sat on the chair, staring at the table with a calm gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.

I didn't hear anything for a long time, but when I looked up, I saw that Jian Shan Hina had walked in front of me.

"Does this puppet have a name?" Mo Ming asked.

"Shen Jiuye is a name that has not been mentioned by many people. ”

“...... This Kaguya gave you that?"

"She must have regretted it very much, it was her own name. ”

"I still have a lot of questions. But before that, I have to warn you that the puppet in the wardrobe may have the function of listening...... I'm at ease, but it's your privacy at stake. ”

"It's okay, the private has already been dealt with. Shen Jiuye looked at Mo Ming up close and unmoved.

"Then the first question, why did the god who was going to die appear in Gensokyo at night, and why didn't I feel sick now, but I couldn't control my body?"

"It seems to be two problems. ”

"Or maybe it's a problem?"

"Yes, but it's not hard to guess—"

Shen Jiuye leaned over slightly and kissed Mo Ming on the chair lightly.

Immediately, the god untied the ribbon between the hair of the god of misfortune for a long time. tied Mo Ming's hands behind him. Mo Ming remained motionless and let it do.

Shen Jiuye bowed slightly, picked up Mo Ming, who couldn't resist, and walked to the bedside.

Mo Ming suddenly took a deep breath.

"Help-life-ah-" It should have been a hearty cry for help, but the volume of the exit was extremely weak, Mo Ming asked, "What kind of yin-yang art are these?"

"It's not worth mentioning. ”

Mo Ming was supported and placed in the center of the bed. Shen Jiuye sat on the edge of the bed and looked sideways at him.

"I have a question, I can't move, why are you tying my hands?"

Shen Jiuye tilted his head and thought about it, and wondered, "For fun?" said as he slowly untied the ribbon on his front collar.

"You're asking me?"

"What do you think?"

"Stop for a moment! I think...... Shouldn't you explain why you appear in the form of a god of misfortune?"

Shen Jiuye threw the untied ribbon on the ground and leaned against the head of the bed with Mo Ming.

"This child is so innocent and kind, and has been deceived for this," said Kamikuya softly, "and the self who has lost her body has promised her what she cannot do privately—and thus in exchange for the right to use this body." ”

"What about the god of doom? don't you say ......?"

"The child's consciousness is still in this body, and he must be waiting to erase her privately. ”

"If you really ...... that"

"Don't worry, it's useless to do this kind of thing," he said, unbuttoning Mo Ming's shirt, "My life has come to an end, and I have already exhausted all my strength to survive until this moment." ”

"And what's the point of what you're doing now?"

"Naturally not, but it makes sense to you, and therefore it makes sense to you. ”

"For better or for worse?"

"If you can be remembered, you must not be bad. ”

Shen Jiuye took off his shirt, leaned over, and buried half of his body in Mo Ming's chest.

"That's good," Shen Jiuye whispered, "Maybe this is the day I've been waiting for for for thousands of years." ”

Mo Ming was speechless.

Shen Jiuye suddenly raised his head again and offered his lips to Mo Ming.

After a long time, his lips parted, and he drew to his ear and neck, and kissed him slowly.

Mo Ming suddenly found that he was able to move.

The hands tied behind his back easily broke the ribbon, and Mo Ming immediately grabbed Shen Jiuye's shoulders with both hands and pushed them away slightly.

The woman looked up, tears streaming down her eyes.

"I'm sorry. ”

What's going on, it's too bad. Mo Ming replied: "It's okay, forgive you." ”

Shen Jiuye wiped away his tears with his arm and snuggled back into Mo Ming's arms.

The voice came from his bosom.

"Amaterasu's face, the memory of seeing me on a moonlit night, and even the body is borrowed...... Selfishness is a patchwork, out-and-out fake. ”

"Do you need me to say something?" Mo Ming sighed, "Actually, if you want to say it, this statement is not entirely ......"

"There is no need to explain, no need to comfort, no selfishness. Although selfishness has reached the end of the road, it still has the power of the gods, and if you want to gamble, it will not be what you want to see. ”

"Okay. Mo Ming was silent.

After a while, the voice in his arms came again.

"Why don't you go on? Is this body not attractive enough?"

Hearing this, Mo Ming subconsciously glanced down, and then immediately looked away, his heart beat faster, and he chanted Amitabha Buddha.

"Aren't you very 'spiritual'?" the voice below him came again, "Even if it's fake, I hope you can 'possess' your own privacy." ”

Mo Ming's body was shocked, and he hurriedly pulled up the god in his arms for a long time.

Take a deep breath and calm yourself.

"Shen Jiuye, maybe you don't know or don't care about my current situation, but I have to say," Mo Ming's voice was serious, "There is a girl who has helped me a lot, not only providing me with a comfortable place to stay in the crisis, but also taking the initiative to help investigate and discuss a solution, I don't know how to repay her, or maybe my friends shouldn't see the favor so clearly, but in any case, if I did this with you in her room, I'm afraid I won't have the face to stay in Gensokyo anymore." ”

"Although you'd love to do it?"

"Although I would love to do it. ”

"What a pity," the god sighed for a long time, "the soul of selfishness has begun to dissipate, and it cannot wait for the next time." ”

"I'll regret today's rejection for the rest of my life. ”

"That's right," the god in his arms smiled softly, "don't forget." ”

Mo Ming hugged the person in her arms, leaned on the bed, and closed her eyes.

The people I have to remember, whether it's the white dress in the orphanage or the down-and-out old beggar on the streets of Svetenes, are all important figures in my life that cannot be erased, without them, I would not be where I am today.

And at this moment, this strange soul who had never met him, or even dying when they met him for the first time, also had a wonderful connection with himself.

"I'll remember you. ”

"Well," said Shen Jiuye, after a pause, "there is probably still half a pillar of incense left." ”

"Then let me accompany you on the last journey of your life. Mo Ming calmly hugged the woman in her arms.

Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was too oppressive, Shen Jiuye whispered:

"Speaking of which, according to private investigations, Kagiyama's delicate appearance like a puppet is not even inferior to that seen on a moonlit night in human aesthetics, right?"

"I refuse to judge the girl's appearance. ”

"Is it the desire to survive?" Shen Jiuye scoffed, "Actually, you can really continue to do it today, but in the future, you may have to explain her innocence to this miserable puppet lady in person." ”

"Shouldn't you explain it to her?"

"The survivor steals life, and the dead are gone. ”

"I have a question, will Miss Doshen remember today's events?"

"Naturally, I remember it so clearly that I can even remember the sense of touch. ”

Mo Ming sighed: "Oh my God, what have I done......"

"Didn't they all force you privately?"

"You have to understand, it's hard to explain this kind of thing clearly," Mo Ming changed the subject, "Speaking of the god of misfortune, what did you promise her? ”

"It's not all, she made several suggestions privately, and she chose the most costly way herself-"

"Do you think she's seeking death? is it because she can't bear the pressure, or is she afraid that the bad luck she's gathered will eventually bring disaster to humanity?"

"Miss Doshen may be listening, is it really okay to discuss her so unscrupulously?"

"You ......" Mo Ming wanted to stop talking, stopping talking and wanting to speak, "Is it too late to ask this question?"

As for how to explain to the god of doom in the future, it is indeed a headache, but all I can do at the moment is complain.

"There's no way, Miss Dogami hopes that as a great god, she can collect all the bad luck of Gensokyo on her behalf and eliminate it - at the cost of this, she is willing to let the private be in her body, and she will disappear forever. ”

"You promised her?"

"Actually, it can't be done - as long as humanity continues to survive, its doom will continue to occur, and a one-time collection will be meaningless in the long run. ”

"So you deceived the pure Hina Doll God like this, won't your conscience hurt?"

"From this day forward, the bad luck she has collected will no longer leak out, and it will no longer bring disaster to those who come close to her. And she will also become a true god due to her selfish influence. Therefore, it is not unhelpful to her. ”

"I see. "And this kind of operation.

Even so, she was still uneasy, and although she did not understand why her reputation was so despised, she had been upset in the human village. ”

"Oh, you have a heart, I haven't even bothered to go to the village lately, and I don't know how the progress of the matters related to the name of the god of misfortune has been explained before. ”

"Don't talk about this girl anymore. The voice of the god for a long time came faintly.

"It's not a bad topic......"

"I can't hold on anymore. ”

"You mean ......"

"Well, I'm leaving. ”

Mo Ming didn't know what to say for a while.

"May you ...... Rest in heaven. ”

"Oh," the voice of the girl in her arms came again, and gradually faded, "I will not go to heaven or hell, but will only disappear here, without a past life or an afterlife, as if it never appeared, and it will not be remembered......"

"But to leave a place in your heart is to fulfill your life's wish. ”

Outside the window, the evening afterglow spills in.

The girl in her arms was silent.

Kagiyama's skin exudes a faint glow.

Then, the light spreads out.

Sucked into the twilight, vanished.

......

......

Forever Pavilion.

The movements in the hands of Bayi Yonglin, who was paddling the magic circle on the sand table, suddenly froze, and then continued.

"God for a long time...... I will do as you wish, and I will never break my word. ”

In the sand table, what is impressively presented is the whole picture of Gensokyo.

......

......

In the Red Devil Pavilion, Shenqi suddenly closed the book in his hand.

In the next moment, it appeared at a height of 100 meters.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, she looked up at the glittering dome that was invisible to the human eye, and muttered, "There is a creation god who has died here?"

......

......

In the Destiny Lotus Temple, Hecatia, who was playing against the pure fox, suddenly lost his chess piece.

She and the pure fox beside her looked at the sky at the same time.

"The power of the gods?...... Why is it so powerful?"

"I don't know, but this force is not something that a small place like Gensokyo can carry. ”

The two looked at each other and flew into the air.

"I don't know what's going on, so let's help stabilize it first, but I still like this place. ”

"Looks like we'll have to charge the youkai sages here for their labors. Pure Fox replied.

......

......

In the human world, the holy white lotus, who was talking to the village chief's wife, suddenly frowned and looked in a certain direction.

Stretching out, is the direction of Alice's Mansion in the Forest of Magic.

"What's the matter, Lord Sage?" Servant Mura Shui Mi on the side quickly caught the change in Master's expression.

Sheng Bailian didn't answer, shook his head, and looked at the village chief's wife with a smile: "It's getting late today, about the matter of the Lotus Temple staying in the village, I will come to visit again another day." ”

......

......

In the sunflower field, the big monster Kazami Yuka, who was combing the hair of the poison puppet girl, suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.

Métikhin jumped off the small stool.

"I can feel it! Big sister said the time has come!"

Métikhin clenched her fists, and her voice revealed hatred: "Alice, the witch who wields the puppet, your future will be destroyed by the puppet!"

Kazami lifted her up, pressed her back on the stool, and combed her hair neatly.

......

......

In the treehouse, a little girl who calls herself a white dragon is teaching the three goblins standing in a row to punch hard.

......

......

It's been a long time since I've heard movement inside the house.

Although it is not good to suspect that Lord Doom is not good, the prophecy on Mo Ming's body is related to the gods, so he has to be vigilant.

Alice finished her cup of tea, went up the stairs with Sanae, and pushed the door open.

On the bed, the sleeping girl was lying naked in Mo Ming's arms. The girl's clothes were placed next to the bed, and the ribbons used to decorate them were all around.

Mo Ming was also topless, looking out of the window intently.

Hearing the movement, he turned his head and said:

"I have a terrible conjecture. ”

Sanae rolled up her sleeves and walked forward.

"But before that, I want you to listen to me......"
