At the end of the long corridor that does not see the light of day, the Hall of Right and Wrong welcomes new guests.

Rarely, Hades Shikieihime did not sit in the upper seat, but stood in the center of the main hall and waited.

The visitor is a guest, walking gracefully on the ground, as if walking in the courtyard of his own home, as if he had been in the same scene.

Gu Ming Dijue - a girl who is feared even by resentful spirits, the big monster that caused trouble in the old Cerberus hundreds of years ago, has come here for the second time.

"You're here. "Four seasons Yingji turned her back to the person who came and stood with her hands in her hands.

"I'm coming. "Let's just take it as a cheer.,After capturing the other party's thoughts、The mind-reading monster reluctantly replied。

"I knew you were coming. ”

"Why do you know?"

"You're stained with cause and effect, so I know. ”

"Hmm. There is no right or wrong, no good or evil, only likes and dislikes," Ko Ming Jijue shrugged, "I remember the first time we met, you said that about me. ”

"Although the position is different, occasionally I will be a little envious," Shiki Yingji turned around and smiled, "I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years, and you still haven't grown taller." ”

"Isn't it the same for Lord Enma?"

If Komachi saw that his boss with a serious face for 10,000 years had such an expression, he would be surprised that he was sleepy.

"Have you finished reading the novels I recommended in my letter?"

Although the two can only see each other for the second time, in order to pass the free time, the presiding judge of hell, Shijiki Yinghime, has exchanged many letters with mind-reading monsters since his early years.

"You're not here for this, are you?" tried to change the subject, but instantly remembered the pointlessness of hiding in front of the mind-reading monster.

"No, but the words have to have a head. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't really get the interest to read those mystery novels. ”

"Well, personal preferences are different, but you don't have to force it. ”

"It's you, Miss Xiaowu, have you read the chivalrous novels I recommended?"

"I watched it, but I didn't think it was interesting. ”

"Isn't it interesting to be chivalrous and righteous, happy to take revenge?"

"It's even harder for me to understand. Lord Enma is the chief judge in charge of punishment, and the so-called chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and the knight takes the lives of others in vain with his own skills, is this actually 'interesting' in the eyes of the black-and-white Four Seasons?"

"There is no absolute relationship between personal likes and dislikes and good and evil, so I envy Miss Xiaowu. ”

"Lord Enma has already proven his choice with his actions, so why bother? Whether it's a chivalrous novel or a manga, the reason why it exists is precisely because it's interesting enough. ”

That said, it is. ”

"Well, that's the end of the gossip, Lord Shiki, take me to the Evil Mirror Terrace. ”

"No, I can't. ”

"You've already told me where to go, and you've already tacitly agreed that it's about to happen, so why stop it?"

"Because of my identity as an Enma, I have every reason to stop your actions, Miss Five. I don't dissuade me, just out of friendship between you and me. ”

There are indeed not many people who can make the four seasons Yingji stop preaching, and this Gu Ming Dijue has to admit it.

"Well, this kindness is in my heart. ”

"There is still a warning - 'this trip is in vain', although I say that, Miss Xiao Wu will not stop there, right?"

"Hmm. Futility is also one of the results, and only with this conclusion can we go further. If you don't do it, you won't get results. ”

"Then, please come with me. ”

......

......

In the dark corridor, the two walked slowly.

Shiki Yingji holds a candle and takes the lead.

"Miss Xiaowu, are you interested in participating in the next year?"

Gu Mingdi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "I should have replied more than once, I'm not very interested in this kind of thing." ”

"That's just because you can't find the right person to sing the rival show, isn't it just right that there is that human waiting outside the temple now?"

"Lord Enma is testing me?"

"No, I just wanted to advise ......"

"Don't get married, it will only increase loneliness. ”

"Huh?"

"Don't worry. ”

"Well, that's fine, the human being who came with you is not a good thing, and it will hurt if you touch it. ”

"Huh?"

This time it was Gu Mingji's turn to be confused.

According to the clues left by the missing Miss Alice, the last place to appear was on the other side of the Santu River.

It is precisely because of this that he came here with Mo Ming.

Four seasons Yingji obviously knew that the two were looking for Miss Alice, but they stopped Mo Ming and let herself in.

If there is a desire to conceal it, it should be the opposite.

Prevent Mo Ming from stepping on, but meet with himself alone as a mind-reading monster, his attitude ...... Give food for thought.

"Lord Enma, just what you think in your heart—Mo Ming, this person is extremely evil, and he will suffer from purgatory before he can die...... I can't understand the cause and effect. ”

"Well, Miss Alice said something similar. ”

"So, what exactly did she see there? Did it have anything to do with where she went?"

"Miss Xiaowu, are you worried about Miss Alice, or are you worried about the human condition?"

"Both. The most incomprehensible thing to me is why Lord Enma thinks that my search is futile?"

The advantage of mind reading is that there is no need for the other party to speak.

"Oh...... I see. But with my personality, I am naturally not convinced, so I have to try it myself. That's why you won't stop me?"

As long as she hears her own question, she can get the answer from his thoughts. Unfortunately, this answer is not satisfactory.

The corridors did not seem to be physically connected, and the faint light of the candle flame could not illuminate the darkness at the end.

In the silence of the two of them, they didn't know how long they paced, and finally, the four seasons who were walking in front stopped.

"What Miss Alice saw in the mirror, even I can't know. ”

"I don't think you'll see what she wants, but I obviously won't convince you. ”

"In that case, you will know when you see it with your own eyes. ”

On both sides of the quaint gate, two ancient sayings are engraved with strong brushstrokes -

Have a heart to do good, although good is not rewarded.

Evil is not done without intention, although evil is not punished.

......

......

"This room hasn't been set foot in hundreds of years. ”

"Counting the previous Miss Alice, you should be the second. ”

Shikihime was the first to come to the stone platform in the center of the room.

"'There are no good people in front of the Evil Mirror' - thousands of years ago, someone broke into this place and shattered the ancient mirror. After that, the fragments of the ancient mirror were forged into several pure glass mirrors, which were handed over to the enems in various places for safekeeping. ”

The moment he took out a small hand mirror from his bosom and placed it on the stone platform, he immediately turned around and walked down the stone platform.

"Interesting. Is this the rumored Evil Mirror Terrace?"

Gu Ming Dijue crossed the four seasons of the return and came to the stone platform.

There are also small characters carved on the stone platform, which are a little illegible due to their age.

"There is only my shadow in the mirror, what should I do?"

"If you want to get a glimpse of other people's cause and effect on the mirror platform, fate and the eye of the heart, both are indispensable. ”

"Really...... I'll give it a try. ”

The mind-reading monster stood on the stone platform, holding up the pupil of sue's pupil with one hand and closing his eyes.

After a long time, the pupil of Jue finally closed.

......

......

Long.

Gu Ming Dijue opened his eyes, and held on to the stone platform a little weakly before he could stand firm.

It's not as simple as a human closing his eyes when he wants to close the pupil of Jue. This move not only requires courage, but also the consumption of the Awakening Monster is unprecedented.

"How, what do you see?"

"What...... Nor did it. ”

"If you have the pupil of enlightenment, you should have plenty of room to use the eye of the heart. ”

"Well, it's my own choice, even if I don't want to, I can only accept it. ”

No chance.

In front of the evil mirror platform, Gu Ming felt that he couldn't see Mo Ming's cause and effect.

This had been known in the Enma's thoughts.

The mind-reading monster turned around and looked at Shikihime.

"But I still want to know, what exactly does Miss Alice see in the mirror?"

"I must have already answered, right? Miss Alice knows what she sees in the mirror. ”

"Although Enma-sama doesn't know, it may not be impossible to speculate. ”

"Earlier, Miss Alice questioned your judgment that Mo Ming 'will suffer from purgatory', and after that, you brought her here. ”

"After Miss Alice saw karma in the stone mirror, did she still question your claim?"

No, she just said one more word...... 'I see.'" ”

Gu Ming Dijue nodded. Instead of taking the steps, he jumped down from the side of the stone platform.

"It seems that Miss Alice must have seen some convincing sight—a confirmation of Mo Ming's sins. ”

"I have a question about this—shouldn't this place be the place where the deceased soul is judged, and why can I see the guilt of the living Mo Ming?"

Four Seasons Yingji couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.

"The fact that there is no glimpse of the past of the living people in front of the mirror is only an extreme case. ”

"Mo Ming should have died a long time ago, but she was still born in the world...... I don't know if he's still human. ”

"Well, I don't really care about that anymore. ”

Gu Ming Jijue walked towards the door.

"I'll have to ask him—he should know better than I know where Alice went. ”

"Miss Five, is she going to tell that human about this judgment?"

Shiki Yingji locks the door. Keep up, walk with it.

"Why, is it a foul, let the undead know their sins in advance?"

"Theoretically, there is no special provision for such cases. ”

"Understand, understand, understand. The black-and-white Shiki-sama is quite bitter about the judgment of this gray area. ”

"That being said, my actions are actually fueling the trouble, which is really not like my style. ”

"Speaking of which, I still can't understand the judgment of his sins—it stands to reason that a person like him shouldn't be revered as a Buddha in that world, right?"

"Miss Xiaowu, do you remember the words carved on the stone in front of Shicai's door?"

Have a heart to do good, although good is not rewarded.

"I can't agree with this statement - although in the eyes of you, Lord Shiki, there is a clear distinction between good and evil and black and white, but in my eyes, this is not the case. ”

"There is not only one truth, nor is there only one motive...... Humans are very strange creatures. Simple, very simple, complex...... Just like Mo Ming. ”

Such people often have more than one motive to do something, and it is biased to characterize them based on the good and evil of one of them. ”

"Hmm, so it seems that Miss Xiaowu's favorability towards this human being is not low?"

"It's just a matter of facts. ”

But how do you know that only one side of his motives and not all of them were considered at the time of conviction? ”

"Then I will believe that this judgment has a reasonable basis. ”

"It is naturally wise to trust the judgment of the Enma. ”

"Haha, Lord Enma is still as conceited as he was a long time ago. ”

"Isn't Miss Wu the same?"

......

......

The scenery outside the palace of Hades is pleasant, and the flowers on the other side here are undefeated all year round.

But with Miss Death's advice of "don't get close to watch", Mo Ming is naturally as kind as a stream, and she doesn't dare to take a step closer, and only stays honestly in front of the palace.

While waiting boredly, it was inevitable that he began to secretly wonder which one Lord Enma was singing again.

Although the two of us will not have time to express our intentions, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of "to find Alice".

If Enma's act of preventing himself from entering the temple does contain "key information that is forbidden to be revealed to himself", it means that his guess is correct and that Alice is here to ......

How can you get the result out of the mouth of the monster?

Obviously, she doesn't have the capital to argue with Enma, and since she unilaterally decided that this matter can't be confided, I'm afraid it will be difficult to shake it easily.

And she chose to talk to Gu Ming Dijue, which shows that Enma thinks that it is okay for this matter to be known to old acquaintances who are also old hells.

Even if the Enma had reservations in the conversation, it would only take a sentence or two to see the light with the wisdom of the ancient earth and the key information.

The biggest difficulty now is - how do you convince the mind-reading monster to tell you the actual situation?

In a sense, the monster that gives me the most headache, in front of Gu Ming Dijue, all the dark room regrets are difficult to hide.

Theoretically, only true temperament can move her. But the memory of being hung up and beaten in front of the garden of the Earth Spirit Hall not long ago is still vivid.

That's almost a rare act of oneself that leaves no stone unturned - taking out his affection and love for mind-reading monsters as a bet in exchange for the same level of response from the other party.

Once successfully accepted as a friend, the Earth Spirit Temple will become another solid backing for himself. The power of the mind-reading monster is so special that no one else can replace it.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this utilitarian heart mixed with good intentions that Gu Ming felt that he "threw out a test paper that it was impossible for him to revise the answers" - and then, with thunderous means, he simply and neatly fought back.

At a time when even the only theoretically feasible response has failed, it seems that he can only choose to be deflated when facing the mind-reading monster.

But at this moment, there is no way back.

If she is not bad, Alice's actions are likely to be related to herself.

And Alice chose to say goodbye, as her friend, the mind-reading monster, after learning the whole story, is likely to carry out Alice's position and also hide the truth from himself.

Damn...... I always accidentally go into debt everywhere.

I owe Alice enough favors, and if she is allowed to act on her own, I really don't know what to do with myself.

In short, the top priority is to be careful to hide your guesses in front of Gu Ming Dijue, if you are detected by the mind reader, you are likely to be deliberately avoiding key topics later, but it will fall short.

Thinking so, Mo Ming subconsciously turned his head and probed into the depths of the corridor.

And Gu Ming Dijue was a few positions behind him. Lean against the wall with your hands on your chest and close your eyes leisurely.

......

......

"What's the matter, you don't make a sound when you walk?"

"Are you too involved in your own thinking?" Gu Ming Dijue opened his eyes and looked sideways at Mo Ming.

"Eavesdropping?"

"Poof, how do you squirm like a little girl, you big man. Gu Mingdijue sighed and tapped the headphones hanging around his neck with his index finger.

"Oh, I'm relieved. ”

"Well, have you figured out how to get out of my mouth, or do you already have a clear understanding of the truth in your heart?"

"Didn't you eavesdrop?"

"Not before, but now. Moreover...... Is it hard to guess your mind?"

"Hey, don't guess," Mo Ming sighed, "Please, tell me where Alice is." ”

"Until then, I have a question – have you and Alice given each other anything in the recent past?"

Hearing this, Mo Ming fell silent.

Gu Mingdijue tilted his head.

"Oh, I see. ”

"Mo Ming, you're really bad. ”

"Why can't you just be a little sluggish?"

Mo Ming scratched his head.

"I've done everything I can, but there's something obvious that is hard to relent. Mo Ming smiled bitterly.

"When you hear my question, you immediately recall the doll Alice gave you. ”

"You know that the puppet has triggered the Resist Spell and has resonated with your soul. ”

"And you're the only human in this Gensokyo, other than Miss Reimu, who has a direct connection to that other world. ”

"You think about it, the reason why Miss Alice let you go to the shrine alone is not because she is indifferent to your life and death, but probably because she did a safer move alone - to go to the Santu River. ”

"You have the consciousness that your soul will be judged. ”

"If Miss Alice knows anything here at Santugawa, she will probably act alone with her feelings for you. ”

"And Miss Alice's actions were planned by you even from the beginning. ”

"Hey, it's too much," Mo Ming smiled wryly, "Am I already so unbearable in your heart?"

"No, I'm just talking about some tentative speculation. ”

"Isn't this all something uncertain, why do you have to say it if you want to think about it?" Mo Ming put his hand on his forehead.

"If you don't say it, how can you judge what is right and what is wrong based on your mental reactions? Isn't that what you taught me?"

"The result?"

"Except for the last one, aren't the others eight or nine inseparable?"

"Hmm. Although I had a vague premonition, I didn't expect it...... You're yours, Alice. ”

"Have you thought about paying it back?"

"Can I afford it?" Mo Ming sighed, "The point is, am I worthy?"

"To this day, I am still arrogant, and there must be a limit to pretending to be posturing. ”

"Am I pretending to be a mind-reading monster?"

"Then how did you end up in such a field, don't you have any points in your heart?"

Mo Ming was silent.

After a long time, he spoke.

"Gu Mingdijue, my situation, you are one of the few people who knows more about it. ”

"Teach me what to do. ”

"I don't know. Human emotions are changing rapidly...... I do not know. ”

"I'll blow this bitter water with you, but don't tell anyone else. ”

"You have benefited a lot from it, and now you are affected by it, and it is a natural cycle of cause and effect, so don't complain. ”

"How dare I complain...... My situation, even if the mountains and rivers are exhausted, don't you have to thank God for your love?"

"You are self-aware. With so much love from the city, and dare to make irresponsible remarks, be careful of being damned. ”

"Damnation...... I was prepared. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to go to that world. ”

"Are you doing this to live up to Alice's kindness?"

"Alice's love, I promised. But I can't let anyone else bear my own sin. ”

"Do you know what crime you have committed?"

"A lot, a lot...... Theoretically, it's too late. ”

"But since Alice will go there, it means that there is something that can be remedied. In this regard, I also have a slight conjecture, the time ratio between that world, without further ado, it is time to go. ”

"You should know better than me about that time ratio, where are you leaving Miss Reimu here?"

"Oh...... Penglai Mountain Hui Night," Gu Ming suddenly felt suddenly, "forever with the moment...... What a convenient ability. ”

"The favors owed can only be made up for with more favors. Go on like this...... Do you think I'm done with it?"

"It has nothing to do with me. ”

"That's right. ”

When I came, there was Yakumo Purple sent off from the gap between the people, and it was a lot of trouble to go back.

On the other side of the Santu River, the two waited for Miss Death to cross the river by ferry.

Gu Ming Dijue looked at the large sea of flowers on the other side, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

As if infected by the atmosphere, he suddenly spoke to himself.

"Miss Alice is very intelligent, with a keen intuition and a good nature, and she is so devoted to you that she is willing to do anything for you. ”

"She's amazing, I'm not as good as her. ”

"But, it won't be as you wish. ”

"I'm not going to be another Alice. ”

......

......

Deep in the Enma Temple.

Shikihime stood alone in front of the Mirror Stage.

She pondered about her past.

It's a very powerful youkai...... Even excluding the special ability to read minds, her ability to act is unique.

Once, in order to prevent her sister, the girl who could no longer be perceived after closing the pupil of enlightenment, from disappearing, and in order for her only relative to reappear in the "consciousness" of others, Ko Ming Jijue overturned the entire old hell...... Even, almost by force.

Her notoriety is still being passed on by word of mouth in the old hell—

Just to ask everyone, "Have you seen my sister?", it has finally become a shadow that many evil spirits have not been able to face to this day.

Thanks to it, Gu Ming loves this little girl and can still live in the world safely.

And now, Gu Ming Dijue seems to have acted again.

Her cause and effect are by no means what they appear today.

In front of herself, she reversed black and white and suppressed her feelings.

A big monster who doesn't care about good and evil, doesn't talk about right and wrong, and acts only according to his preferences...... I must not allow him to act recklessly.

In Gensokyo now, there are too many powerful forces. If the balance is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.

I hope that Gu Ming Dijue will not become the cause of this chaos.

Four seasons Yingji walked up to the mirror platform, and with a wave of her hand, the small words on the old stone platform flashed brightly-

The soul of the mirror appears in its original form, and the words are reduced and the text is secretly supplemented.

Yin law is selfless and realistic, and yang people are severely punished for doing evil.
