FLAG.21 At five o'clock, on the occasion of the reunion and parting of sorrow
At three o'clock, at the moment when the dance of Hakuri Reimu stopped instantly, there was a long-lasting applause.
It's really a shame that these monsters understand the etiquette of human beings, although Mo Ming thought so, but he didn't feel that there was any compliment.
It's not the first time I've seen it, but the little shrine maiden's "Kagura" is still as graceful and moving as ever, and if there is a "dance that can please the gods" in the world, it's no exaggeration to say that this is probably it, Mo Ming thought.
The dance stopped, and the music stopped for a moment, the entrance of the shrine suddenly opened, and the pavilion walked out of the pavilion was the "god of bad luck" - Jianshan Hinata.
Under the guidance of the little witch with kagura and Mo Ming's deliberate foreshadowing of the scene, the dignified and beautiful god appeared in a glorious manner.
Natural beauty doesn't need to be deliberately dressed up.,Just the usual outfit immediately caught the attention of the people and monsters present.γ
Standing not far away, looking at the god of doom who was smiling but frowning at the entrance, and looking at the reimu who was looking at the god of doom intently, Mo Ming fell into deep thought.
......
......
Gensokyo, established by the power of the youkai sage and the first Hakurei shrine maiden and the dragon god, is not as perfect as it seems.
Unlike the outside world, which continues to be in order by natural selection, there are too many imperfections in the natural rules in this artificially established great barrier, and any negligence in them will bring disaster to this fragile Taoyuan Township.
The souls of humans and youkai must be managed, otherwise the undead will soon fill Gensokyo and devour the living - similarly, even the ethereal thing "Doom" must be restrained by the gods here, otherwise calamity will be everywhere, making Gensokyo a purgatory.
The good is like water, moistening all things without fighting, and dealing with the evil of all...... This is probably Hina Kagiyama's position and what she has been doing.
As for this god - not only the humans on the weak side, but also the powerful monsters themselves do not want to be with her, and this has nothing to do with Kagiyama Hina herself - perhaps the identity of the god is the original sin.
"But this so-called original sin is really not a righteous thing," Mo Ming whispered to herself, "At most, it's not too wrong." β
The living have an instinct to stay away from calamity, and this instinct has nothing to do with good or evil. It's just that human beings always like to find reasons for things they have to do, to justify things they "have to do", and sin always starts from there.
Originally, it was reasonable to "dare not approach because of fear", but the derived excuse for peace of mind - "because the god of evil is a filthy and ominous existence, so there is nothing wrong with his own actions", finally put himself in the place of injustice.
There are not people without a clear heart among the human race, but the objections they raise will only make themselves an outlier in the race, isolate themselves, and nothing will change - the last smart people, such as some scholars in the barnyard family, or wise men like Motoi Kosuzu, who are literate and unreasonable, can only remain silent in an atmosphere of condemnation and contempt.
As for Reimu, although she has a stance of action because of her position as a "Hakurei shrine maiden", with Mo Ming's understanding of the little witch, she must have some degree of cognition...... So she wouldn't be unaware of what it meant for herself and the gods themselves.
However, Reimu still chose to go against her usual style, and made a rare and clear stance beyond that gesture that was neither close nor alienated.
As for Mo Ming herself, she expressed her support for the little witch's proposal from the beginning, on the one hand, because it was not a bad thing in itself, and she had no reason to oppose it, and on the other hand, it was because of a certain doubt that arose at that time......
"Mo Fei, Reimu ...... her"
Now looking at the look on the face of the little witch when she looked at the god of misfortune, Mo Ming was sure of what she thought at the time - Reimu had been sad because of the unfair treatment suffered by someone, and this sadness was vented when she met the god of misfortune in the same situation, "I must do something for it", and under this mentality, it finally evolved into the current situation.
The ancestor shrine maiden-Mo Ming didn't know much about her, mostly through some handwritings in the shrine's general store, as well as some oral statements and materials from the head of the barnyard family, but the only thing she knew was that she had a deep influence on the little witch...... This impact may even surpass itself.
Of course, Mo Ming would not admit that she was the slightest jealous of this, it was just a fact.
It's just that in this way, after understanding the importance of the incident of "justifying the name of the god key mountain chick" to Reimu, the next situation about the abnormal changes in the human body that was originally going to tell Reimu has become necessary to be considered again.
......
......
Mo Ming didn't hesitate for a long time before he saw a certain face, which made the nerves that had been slightly relaxed when watching Reimu's "Kagura" just now immediately tense.
Gunraiya appears next to Yayi Yongrin, while Alice Margroyd's figure disappears at the table of Aqiu and Matoi, and the two girls are arguing over something with the young man who appeared at the banquet at some point.
And what connects these doubts is a scene that Fang Yuguang glimpsed but didn't care about, during the "Kagura" dance, Yayi Yonglin once walked to Alice's table and said something.
This guy ...... What the hell are you messing with again?!
......
......
Penglai Mountain Kaguya, who was talking to Bayi Yonglin, suddenly stopped, and the two of them moved their eyes to the uninvited guest at the table at the same time.
Mo Ming did not be polite and disguised his intentions, and asked himself:
"Bayi Yonglin, what did you just say to Alice?"
Originally, I could have asked Xiaoling about this, but if there was really any situation, I am afraid that there would not be so much room to investigate these things.
Just as Mo Ming's words fell, he sensitively noticed the look of Penglai Mountain Huiye on the side.
The expression of this long-lost god has indeed been much richer recently, but she still always has a smile that cannot be seen through, and now this smile is completely gone, and she tilts her head to look at her servant:
"Can you explain, Yonglin?"
Listening to Mo Ming's ears, it seemed that there were other parts to be explained.
Bayi Yonglin only replied: "The concubine was worried about the changes in the human world, so she told the witch over there about it. β
This has to be said to be too false, to say that some people present are worried about the situation in the world, no matter how they are arranged, it will not be the turn of the person in front of them.
However, it seemed that someone was more dissatisfied with this answer than Mo Ming, and Penglai Mountain Kaguya asked:
"Nothing else?"
Yonglin said respectfully with a pious look: "What can be said has been finished." β
Hearing this, Penglai Mountain Huiye sighed.
"If there is anything here, help should be foiled, chores, etc., and leave it to Reizen. β
"Yes, Your Highness. β
So he turned and left.
Mo Ming, who watched Penglai Mountain leave at night, turned her head back to the doctor with a smiling face, but the other party's words were not like a smile, and they looked cold and emotionless:
"Thanks to you, the concubine body is hated by His Royal Highness again. β
Mo Ming, who hadn't figured out his eyebrows yet, subconsciously took the sentence "take the blame", and Bayi Yonglin was not angry because of this cynicism, but just replied:
"If you don't hurry up, Your Highness will have to go far. β
Of course, Mo Ming cares very much about the current situation in the people, and the seemingly inexplicable few words of explanation just now from Penglai Mountain Huiye happened to allow him to withdraw now.
Soβto say that she deliberately invited herself to go along? Mo Ming didn't intend to be narcissistic to this extent, and the reason why Penglai Mountain Huiye did this must have been because she thought it was necessary for her to go.
"What are you planning?" Mo Ming's face was not depressed.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess will explain it to you if she wishes. β
......
......
When she caught up with Mt. Pengrai, she was walking to the bottom of the steps of the shrine.
Obviously, with Kaguya's ability, if you want to hurry, you will already reach the world, and the reason why it is so slow seems to be waiting for someone.
Hui Ye looked at Mo Ming: "There is a very miserable change going on over there, is it okay for you to go over like this?"
Mo Ming took out the yin and yang jade from his sleeve and shook it, and put it back, not planning to say any more polite words:
"What the hell is going on, why do I always have a bad premonition, and what is Bayi Yonglin planning?"
This premonition is not aimed at the anomaly in people, but something else...... There must be something I haven't noticed that is the reason why I am so uneasy!
Penglai Mountain Huiye stepped forward and stretched out a finger to gently caress Mo Ming's eyelids.
Mo Ming was startled, took a step back and looked at Kaguya, waiting for an explanation.
"Yin-Yang Technique, in a short time from now, you can see the ghost. β
Mo Ming turned his head to look around, and saw nothing unusual by hanging a lantern on the torii gate not far away.
"Where's the ghost?"
"Not here, obviously following in the footsteps of the witch. β
"What the hell is going on? β
So Kaguya replied honestly, "Obviously, Yonglin plans to let the witch kill Yuelin again. β
This sentence is indeed concise, but its content is so terrifying that Mo Ming gasps.
......
......
Mo Ming didn't have the habit of being in a daze at a critical juncture, so she immediately sobered up, and in response to the doubts in her heart, she asked a lot of questions to Penglai Mountain, which was already a little speechless.
Fortunately, before Mo Ming came into contact with Yin Yuelin, he had a comprehensive understanding of that period of history, about the monster sage, the demon slayer and the tragedy in the world, so Kaguya didn't have to go through the details one by one.
"You must have heard of Yuelin's ability, right?"
"See lifespan?"
Some time before she exhausted her life for Alice, she had always had a feeling that she was not dying. β
"Because of her own abilities?"
"Mo Mingjun, do you believe in 'fate'?"
"Hmm, do I believe that fate has anything to do with what happened to Yin Yuelin?" Time was pressing, and Mo Ming refused to accept the off-topic.
"Because she believed in fate, she lost the opportunity to rewrite it...... The reason starts with the battle between the demon slayer and the monster sage. β
"Keep it short. β
"......" Penglai Mountain Huiye stopped talking.
"It's not like I want to say so much. "It looks like I'm throwing a tantrum.
In fact, the gods didn't like to talk too much, but tonight was not a while, counting the fact that Yin Yuelin had said too much at that time, so he had been haunted by it.
"I'm sorry, but please don't get tired of telling me the truth. Mo Ming hurriedly corrected her attitude, but she was still secretly anxious in her heart.
There are two people involved, one is the demon slayer girl Yin Yuelin who died indirectly because of his intervention, and the other is Mo Ming's few friends, the witch Alice, and the acquaintance of the two of them is also related to him, and the pain caused by the death of Yin Yuelin in Alice's heart, Mo Ming is inevitably involved.
Therefore, since there is another truth, there is no reason why he should not be strict.
Yonglin, she ...... I did something without permission that I thought I would be forgiven privately. β
Penglai Shan Kaguya's tone was a little low when she said this, perhaps because of her own position of sitting back and letting go, and not blaming.
Mo Ming has long had prejudices about this: "Human beings are always like this, the so-called success and defeat, as long as the ending can be satisfied, it doesn't matter if the process is unsatisfactory, I don't think so." β
The result of sacrificing principles is tragic and cannot be truly accepted by a perfectionist.
"Having said that, don't you also forgive your selfish actions because in the end the little witch and yourself have been redeemed?
Mo Ming was very dissatisfied with this sophistry: "It's not appropriate for this to come out of the mouth of you, the perpetrator himself, right?"
"It's okay, because you're gentle, this level of rudeness will be forgiven. β
"It's not going to be like this all the time. Mo Ming said indifferently.
"Ahh......h That ......"
Mo Ming interrupted:
"Is this the time to say this? Or is it that although Bayi Yonglin has done something to displeasure you by hiding from you, it is actually in your own interests that those things have happened, so you are holding me back here?"
"I'm still as alert as ever," Kaguya smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the time that takes time is reserved forever, and it doesn't make sense to delay time." β
"If you're mentally prepared, let's listen to the bitter past. β
......
......
The battle between the Demon Slayer and the Yokai Sage is suppressed by one side of the ground, but they have originally plotted a killer trick - a technique that can be said to be a favor or a curse.
Every demon slayer who dies at the hands of a monster will be used to strengthen this technique when their soul is gone.
Originally, this technique was used to defeat the big monster that had been accumulating strength since entering Gensokyo, and it became the last trump card of the demon slayer against the monster sage, but as the situation developed...... One after another, their companions fell, and the survivors finally lost the faith to fightβor rather, they finally gave up. As a result of the struggle, the Yokai Sage defeated the Demon Slayer physically and mentally, leaving them to "perish" in the true sense of the word.
In addition to Yin Yuelin, the last living demon slayer Qi Ye activated the technique before he died-
"When the last descendant of the Demon Slayer goes to the Human World, she will gain the power of all the Demon Slayer who have died in Gensokyo since the establishment of the Hakurei Great Enchantment."
And when that technique was activated, Gensokyo, who was bound by the curse of "being a demon slayer", was the only one left.
However, Qi Ye did not ask Yan Yuelin to avenge them, and he didn't even tell Yan Yuelin the reason for this technique - maybe the demon slayer called Qi Ye just hoped that the girl Yin Yuelin, who survived this tragic war in the end, could gain the ability to control her happiness in the rest of her life.
Maybe Qi Ye thought at that time that it would be good if the demon slayer and the human world could give up their respective prejudices to each other, and let the young Yin Yuelin return to the human world as a demon exterminator.
But it backfired.
I'm afraid the monster sage had read about this plot from the memories of the corpses of those demon slayers.
Even if only a few demon slayers rose up to resist, they almost caused irreversible damage to the Great Enchantment of Boli, and now with the strength of everyone, the power of this gift or curse is not to be underestimated even by the monster sages.
Although Tsuki-rin did not express a revenge mentality, this ability was still unstable, especially when it appeared on the last descendant of the demon slayer who might have hatred for the Hakurei Great Enchantment and the Yokai, and the Yokai Sage Yakumo Zi could not tolerate it.
But Yakumo still left a glimmer of room and didn't kill Tsuki-rin right awayβafter all, although she was a demon slayer, she was also the only outsider who didn't participate in the fight from the beginning to the end.
At the end of that war, Yakumo set a-for-tat curse - when the last descendant of the demon slayer stepped into the human world, he would die instantly.
Theoretically, as long as she doesn't set foot in the human world, maybe she can die alone outside the village.
But this last demon slayer is just a girl, and all she longs for is the most basic feelings of being a human beingβwithout those feelings, it is impossible for a person to survive.
It is precisely because Yin Yuelin can't give up the idea of returning to the human world, the shadow of "death" always hangs over her for a moment - the distance between the girl named Yin Yuelin and death is probably the distance between the abandoned thatched hut and the human world.
Therefore, in the eyes of Yin Yuelin, who can see her lifespan, she "is not strange to die at any time", and death may come quietly just under the thought of "going to the world".
Later, the girl got acquainted with Mo Ming, befriended the witch, and was willing to do her best for the witch.
And Alice, the witch who didn't know anything about it, died of a curse at the moment before she stepped into the world with Yin Yuelin in her arms.
Although the curse was there, it wouldn't take effect if it wasn't triggered.
Perhaps, in a sense, the truth is extremely sad - the witch Alice killed her friend with her own hands.
......
......
I have to say that this information is too huge, but Mo Ming was not shocked or in a daze at the first moment after listening, but immediately pulled out his legs and rushed in the direction of the world.
Penglai Mountain Huiye on the side was still in an unhurried posture, and kept up with Mo Ming's speed as if she was strolling - in the past, maybe Mo Ming would turn to her abilities, but due to the "distrust" caused by some reasons now, Mo Ming didn't plan to say anything more to her.
Mo Ming continued to ask as she ran: "So, what is the so-called second kill?"
"The spirit of the moon was not reincarnated, but followed the private here tonight. β
"So...... All of this happened because of the calculations of Bayi Yonglin?"
"No, Yonglin doesn't plan to bring Yin Yuelin here at a private meeting tonight...... I'm afraid this is Yonglin her...... After discovering the private action, everything was temporarily planned. β
β......β
"Let Reisen call her privately, and say that there is something to discuss - and before that, tell Alice about the strange situation in the people. β
Out of some scruples, he didn't bring Yin Yuelin here to show up, so when Alice left, Yin Yuelin subconsciously followed the footsteps of his former friend and went to the world. β
Mo Ming stopped his galloping pace, gasped for breath on the spot, sorted out the information, and continued to ask:
"The mutation in the human world is caused by the undead spirit of the moon lin?"
"It seems that you also understand, because of the appearance of the undead spirit of the moon lin, the magic of the demon slayer and the curse of Yakumo Purple have changed...... Some of the humans who bore the brunt of it turned into ghouls...... The situation did not deteriorate further, and it may have been Sanae of Dongfuya's action. β
"What is the solution? Don't tell me there's only a way to remove spirits?!"
"Of course it's more than that, but what do you think a witch who is not familiar with yin-yang will do in the face of an evil spirit that can't be seen, can't speak, and is clearly the culprit of the mutation?"
......
......
In the world, in the east of the village.
Alice Margotroyd searches for the traces of the evil spirit that is secretly following her.
Although the fatal blow was given just now, there is no real sense of the evil spirit's retreat, the abnormality has not stopped, and there may be humans who turn into ghouls again at any time - be sure to get rid of the evil spirit completely!
......
......
In the human world, on the festival platform, Sanae of the East Wind Valley was exhausting all her strength to resist the sudden invasion of extremely evil spiritual power.
The bad news that one human after another had turned into ghouls came and added an incomparable burden to the girl's heart, and at this moment the cheerful girl was about to cry.
I just want to prove that I am stronger than my predecessors, and I obviously have no malicious intentions...... However, there are already humans who have died because of this...... His actions cannot be forgiven as a result...... Although he used all his strength to barely resist the invasion of evil spirits into the human world, there was no room for further advancement, and it was even more empty talk to eliminate spirits...... IfγIf the seniors are here......
Damn, we have to save everyone!
Miracles! If a miracle happens......
Sanae of Dongfeng Valley, who was barely supporting the magic circle due to the overdraft of her spiritual power, suddenly heard someone calling for her.
When I opened my eyes and looked around, everyone not far away was peeking at this side with worried expressions, but they still didn't find the girl who spoke.
"Are you there...... Are you there?
After a while, Sanae of Dongfenggu seemed to have figured out some of the situation, and although she couldn't see what was in front of her, she could clearly feel the breath of this evil spirit.
"Who are you?"
"Great, although I don't know anything in my life, please do me a favor, please kill me!"
"Are you...... Ghosts?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't have any real feelings about my death, I'm already an undead, please be sure to get rid of my spirit!
There is no need for this ghost to deliberately explain, Sanae of Dongfeng Valley has also seen the current situation clearly, countless necromantic aura is converging on the body of this undead, although her existence is invisible to the naked eye, but in the eyes of those who can remove the spirit, the mass in front of him is already pitch black to the point of being as thick as a solid aura - no matter how you think about it, this must be an evil spirit.
Sanae of Dongfeng Valley slightly relaxed the power of the magic circle to resist the invasion, and held a spirit dispelling charm in her free hand, this must be the power of a miracle, Sanae understood the current situation in front of her in disbelief, and it was really the blessing of the gods that sent the key to solving the mutation in front of her eyes?
It's just that, for some reason, Sanae of Dongfeng Valley asked one last thing before she started:
"If you're an evil spirit, why did you take the initiative to stand here?"
The other party seemed stunned and replied truthfully:
"Because...... There are reasons why you can't be killed by someone else anyway. β
......
......
At five o'clock, on the occasion of the reunion and parting of the sad fortune.

Guoba:
As mentioned earlier, the meaning of the existence of Yin Yuelin is not for the sake of death, if a person's existence is only to play a foil and pass through the scene in the book, this is too sad, and now this word is still the same, and Yin Yuelin must have her own meaning.
It's not easy to use Alice as the cover of the novel in this volume, I believe that she will have enough performance worthy of the protagonist of this volume, the so-called fatalism, as long as you don't believe it, it is possible to change.
