When the head of the Wuyu family came to the three mansions, he seemed very calm, and he was not as angry as he expected, but when he turned his eyes to Mo Ming, who was standing on the side, he sighed and seemed to feel a little regretful.

The signing of the treaty went very smoothly, with the Kiriyu family representing the clans of the world, the old village chief of Miyake representing the ordinary people of the village, and Mo Ming representing the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine...... And, Mo Ming also said to himself, brazenly representing the side of the monster sage who has not appeared since the mutation occurred.

Whether this guy can represent the monster sage's side or not, no one can say for sure, but there is one thing that everyone has to ignore, whether the monster sage herself has not appeared from the beginning to the end, whether it is because she thinks there is no need to appear in person...... And now Mo Mingjun, who is both Hakurei Shrine, is mediating it, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and it may really contain the will of Yakumo Purple himself.

The signed treaty clearly states the follow-up measures for tonight's changes:

1. Immediately post the notice that has just been drafted to the people of the village, including the identity and cause of death of the deceased tonight, so as to relieve the panic atmosphere in the whole village;

2. All the members of the Armed Forces who are operating tonight, including all members of the Force, shall not discuss this time, and in particular, the position of the Foggy and Rainy Clan in this incident shall not be discussed on any occasion;

3. The credit for the resolution of tonight's anomaly goes to the tripartite cooperation of the Human Circle Self-Police Corps, Moriya Shrine and Hakurei Shrine, and the names of the representatives Fujiwara Meihong, Sanae Toshiya and Hakurei Reimu will be written into the notice to receive the gratitude of the whole village, and will be sent to each of the three parties in the future.

4. In the following year, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the proposal of Hakurei Shrine to erase the notoriety of the Hinaru of the Sacred Shrine, which is the sole responsibility of Hakurei Shrine and all parties in the world must actively cooperate.

Naturally, more details were said, the village chief meant that he hoped that the clan would immediately cooperate to convey the information to the villagers, and it had been almost two hours since the incident, and the streets were full of people, but only a small number of people had really fallen asleep, except for those who were anxious at home and couldn't sleep, and more of them stayed at home hoping that the abnormal changes would be resolved and the festival could continue.

The same is what the old village chief of Miyake hopes for, and the unfinished ritual must continue tonight, and the New Year's Eve Festival is the first festival of the year, which has its own special meaning and irreplaceability, and if it is not done like this, there may be villagers who will be afraid for the rest of the year.

The follow-up was quickly explained.

Fujiwara Meihong left with mixed feelings, and she needed to urgently gather all the members of the police corps to restrain her words and deeds, Eryan Yuzo, who had turned into a small bell in Honju, disappeared quietly and almost no one noticed, and Mo Ming also left the Sanyaku house after helping the old village chief finish drafting the proclamation.

Then, he was blocked by a group of saber warriors outside the house.

The leader is the Misty Rain Patriarch who he just met a few moments ago, not a muscular man, but he obviously has a powerful martial arts style and the majesty of the patriarch of a clan, and he looks like he knows that he is not easy to mess with.

Mo Ming looked at it for a while, some of them had just seen it in the courtyard, and most of these people were from the clan, so it was not difficult to guess the reason why these people came to find him.

was blocked in the way, Mo Ming didn't speak, and started to expand his chest, twisted his neck and buttocks, pulled his hamstrings, jumped on the spot a few times, and then looked around, picked up a brick from the corner of the house next to him and held it in his hand, and then asked politely:

"Is there anything you can do?"

The previous Misty Rain Patriarch watched Mo Ming's series of actions expressionlessly, and at this time, he pressed his sword with his right hand and bowed to Mo Ming:

"In the misty rain and Hui, he is the patriarch of the Misty Rain family, and he admired the name of Mr. for a long time, and he was going to set up a banquet to entertain Mr. to ask you some questions, and he never thought that today's events would happen, so it is a pity to get acquainted from this standpoint. ”

Mo Ming put down the brick in his hand, threw it next to his feet, and then bowed in return.

"In Xia Mo Ming...... Have you heard of me a long time ago, and I haven't been a teenager since I came to Gensokyo, have you?"

"It's not a very big place in the world, and it's not surprising that outsiders' information is always discussed, and it is not surprising that it reaches our ears. Although I dare not believe the rumors about Mr. So, it is not groundless to think about it, but if it is true, as the rumors say, that you have achieved such deeds in the outer world, and created a great cause for the survival of mankind, why can't you point out a clear path for us now? Even so, they still believe that they can clear the way for mankind, they should be heroes respected by everyone, but now they have ended up like this, and the proclamation is posted, will those who see the truth mourn for them? No, these stupid people can only feel happy! Glad that this mutation has nothing to do with them! Mr. Mo Ming, the end of mankind is coming, and your contribution will make you a sinner like those who ignore it!"

The speech was impassioned, but after saying that, the crowd did not seem excited, as if it seemed to him to be extremely natural.

Mo Ming scratched his head: "Let's make it clear first, discussing these things here will inevitably be known by the monster sage, even so?"

Wuyu and Hui said with a pale face as usual: "So what? Isn't the monster sage really ignorant of all the previous deeds? Even if we really anger her today, why should we die if we wait? As long as the last human who is unwilling to be a domestic animal does not fall, there will always be people who stand up and talk about it!"

Mo Ming thought to herself, she would bring these things to the table and say, it seems that they really have no hole cards.

So he nodded.

"I understand, then ......" Mo Ming looked around at the crowd, "You are all gathered here, are you going to listen to my lecture?"

Wuyu and Hui immediately turned to the people behind them, motioning for them to stay where they were and waiting, and then made a 'please' gesture to Mo Ming.

Mo Ming looked at the direction and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Misty rain and Hui followed.

The notice has just been issued and posted, and now there are not many villagers on the street.

Mo Ming opened his mouth and asked, "You just said that the end of mankind is coming, are you serious?"

Hearing this, Wuyu and Hui said solemnly: "Then it depends on how you understand, living like a walking corpse is the end of the road in my opinion." ”

"Then you might as well be blunt, in fact, it is the end of your forces that are determined to fight the monsters to the end. ”

"Humanity no longer has the will to resist, it is no different from extermination. ”

"Well, I'm not going to comment on your personal opinion," Mo Ming shrugged, "Actually, I don't care what happens to the humans in the human world, as long as you don't involve the Witch of Hakurei, I promise that I won't be an obstacle to you." ”

"Mr. Mo Ming...... As you must know, it is no longer a question of who will be an obstacle to us, but rather that we can no longer make any progress. ”

"I can't do anything about this, the human beings who have been sealed in Taoyuan Township have too few resources, too small a pattern, and there is nothing they can do to get to where they are today. ”

Wuyu and Hui took two steps to the front, and then blocked Mo Ming's way: "That's why I'm here to ask for my husband's help now." ”

Mo Ming: "You should understand my attitude and position very well, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me now." ”

Mo Ming is the teacher of the Boli Witch, even if his personal ability is removed, his identity is a powerful weapon that can play a key role, but Wuyu and Hui did not find Mo Ming, and must have investigated Mo Ming's personality very carefully.

Now that he has found Mo Ming, it looks more like he is abandoning himself as a live horse doctor than asking for help.

Misty rain and Hui sighed: "I often sigh for this, it's really ...... It's a pity, if I can get the help of my husband in the world, it may be a different scene. ”

Mo Ming smiled: "What are you kidding, I am a gentle and harmless person recognized by Yakumo Zi himself, and I will definitely not be in the same stream as you." ”

"For the Survival of Humanity ......"

"Such a loud slogan is not shouted urgently, not to mention the matter of the demon master and them, all I see is that you abandoned a lonely little girl outside the village alone in order to achieve your goal, and in the end, you still plan to use her feelings for humans and demon slayer to threaten each other with death, is this kind of thing also benevolent?"

Fog and rain and Hui Shen voiced: "Contemptible people have never advertised the word benevolence and righteousness, on the contrary, in order to achieve ......"

"Stop, stop, you don't need to talk about that theory, I know very well that the so-called pragmatism takes belief as the foothold, action as the means, and the actual effect as the highest goal, and the so-called means of action only have the difference between effective and invalid, as for other attributes, such as benevolence and righteousness, it doesn't matter. ”

"If you can uphold justice and benevolence, will anyone not want to do this?" Wuyu and Hui's always calm voice finally became excited, and he seemed to be very annoyed by Mo Ming's disdainful tone, "The reason why everything is in vain is because human beings have reached a critical point of survival! Why can't human beings take their fate into their own hands? If there really is a day in the future, isn't it worth paying any price now? Even if people in the future still can't understand what we do? Isn't it worth it even if you bear the infamy? Mo Mingjun?!"

Mo Ming scratched her head: "What you said is not unreasonable. ”

Hearing this, Fog Rain and Hui took a deep breath: "Then ...... you"

"But what does that have to do with me?"

Misty Rain and Radiance's hand on the hilt of the knife subconsciously clenched.

Immediately, it took a lot of effort to restrain the thought of drawing the sword.

"Mo Mingjun!"

"Misty rain and glow!"

Just when the head of the family of Wuyu was shouting angrily, he never thought that Mo Ming would scold him at the same time...... Because of Mo Ming's sudden change in tone, it made Wuyu and Hui, who were about to attack, stunned.

But then Mo Ming's words made him completely sober.

"Is that the way you ask for advice?"

Foggy rain and Hui immediately solemnized when they heard this, and bowed to the end: "I am ignorant, I am abrupt, sir, I hope you Haihan, about the issue of suitable discussion, please also ask Mr. to give me some advice." ”

Mo Ming sneered, and replied coldly: "Tang Tu, if you really ask for advice, throw away your saber now, and then kneel down for me." ”

Wuyu and Hui didn't say a word, untied the saber at their waist and threw it a few meters away, and then just as they were about to lean over, Mo Ming hurriedly held him up.

"Just kidding," Mo Ming's kind tone came from his ears, as if the indifferent rebuke just now was an illusion, "The master of the Wuyu family is worried about the great plans of the people, and he is a hero in the world, and no one here is qualified to be worshiped by you." ”

Listening to this sudden tone, Wuyu and Hui couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that Mr. Fei really has a good plan?"

Mo Ming didn't speak, just bypassed the martial artist who was in the way in front of him and continued to walk slowly towards the entrance of the village.

The fog and rain and the light also tended to follow.

"First of all, you should understand that the human power in Gensokyo is not enough to compete with the yokai, and the "extermination of all the yokai" you expect to return humanity to freedom is simply not possible, and the price is beyond human affordability. ”

"Please sir. Wuyu and Hui knew that this was not the time to compete, even if they had other thoughts in their hearts, they were not ready to argue at this moment.

The head of the Fog and Rain family still has a priority.

"The ecology of Gensokyo is very complex, but it is not so much that these monsters and humans are symbiotic, but that they are parasitic on the human race - the master of the Fog and Rain family, tell me, why can't humans be truly free under this ecology even though humans are the hosts?"

As Mo Ming walked, he pointed out the key points in a posture like a master.

Kiriyu Kazuki's attitude at the moment was particularly humble, organizing the language, and said: "Because the foundation of the existence of youkai is the 'fear' of human beings, so human beings must remain ignorant - and because of this, our people will always be ignorant, and they will not have the right to pursue "freedom" at all. ”

Mo Ming nodded: "Eight or nine are not far from ten, in fact, the monster sage knows the horror of knowledge better than humans, and it is also the reason why the science and technology in the world have stagnated - once the human beings in Gensokyo have mastered the science after the first industrial revolution like the outside world, they will build a systematic theoretical system in physics, chemistry, biology and other aspects, and at that time, everyone will have a clearer understanding of themselves and the world, and recast the so-called "correct" three views, at that time, human beings will be more and more eager to analyze the existence of monsters through reason. The hope is to generalize the characteristics of yokai and record them in the knowledge of human beings, and when the general human beings no longer have "fear" of yokai but "curiosity", the product of yokai, which is based on the concept of "extraordinary knowledge", will disappear in an instant. ”

"What Mr. Mo Ming means, could it be that it is in the human world......" Wuyu and Hui carefully considered Mo Ming's words, and then shook his head, "No, I have discussed this plan with the demon slayer a long time ago, it is impossible to successfully implement it by quietly spreading the outside science in the human world, and the cycle that can affect the monster is too long, once the monster sage becomes suspicious, it is almost impossible to keep the secret." ”

"Don't be stupid, I'm talking to you on the premise that I'm being eavesdropped on by the monster sage at the moment, how can I mention this kind of plan?"

"What does that mean, sir?"

"First of all, it is necessary for the yokai to be able to survive without the "fear" of humans, and secondly, it is necessary for the yokai to become dependent on humans in some way—as long as these two conditions are met, human civilization will hopefully take a step forward. It's just that these two conditions are indispensable, otherwise youkai can still exist without the "fear" of human beings, and the position of human beings at that time will be even more embarrassing. ”

"I hope Mr. will give me advice!"

was about to walk to the entrance of the village, Mo Ming stopped, and looked at Wuyu and Hui who were walking beside him with a subtle expression:

"You're not going to take what I'm saying seriously, are you?"

A second later, Wuyu and Hui understood the meaning of Mo Ming's words, and immediately reached for the saber on his waist, only to find that it was empty.

And Mo Ming in front of him suddenly disappeared like that, and then the voice and the cold touch came at the same time, a dagger against the back of his neck, and Mo Ming's voice came from the left behind him.

"Just kidding, I really have an idea to solve people's dilemmas, but it's paid. ”

Mo Ming took the dagger away, and Wuyu and Hui immediately flashed over, and Mo Ming opened two positions, and looked at him angrily: "You are not a human?"

Mo Ming didn't bother to explain the principle of space magic to him, and casually threw the dagger in his hand on the ground: "I have something to do later, so I won't waste time with you, Wuyu and Hui, how much money and how much food can you and all the clans you can unite can make up in total?"

"You ......"

"Forget it, let's put it another way, in your clan, in the year when there is a bumper grain harvest, what is the surplus grain in the granary during the year? In the year of famine and reduced production, how much surplus grain can be provided in the grain warehouse during the year?

Misty Rain and Hui took a deep breath, calmed down, thought for a while, and replied: "In the early years, there were many cultivators in the people, and even if the year was bad, there would be surplus grain rotting in the warehouse, and later, at the request of the monster sage, the cultivated land in the world was reduced, and now it is ...... If the clans work together, the surplus should be supplied to an army of 1,000 men at most, and if it is not enough, I can unite my people and reclaim some of the abandoned farmland, which will surely meet your requirements. ”

Being able to supply an army of 1,000 people sounds like a lot of power, but even if you turn the world upside down, you can't get so many soldiers, so food is always just food, and it can't be turned into combat effectiveness.

"So much? This is a bit unexpected to me, doesn't it mean that the landlord's family has no surplus grain? It seems that you are always stockpiling grain in case of natural and man-made disasters?" Mo Ming thought for a while and said, "It doesn't take so much, at most the share of grain for more than 100 people or so, you need to discuss and share it among your clans...... Don't worry, that's just condition one. ”

Wuyu and Hui said coldly: "What other conditions does Mr. Mo Ming have, please tell me together, I, Wuyu and Hui, can try my best to meet your requirements on behalf of the world." ”

"Condition 2: A private school will be added to the world, and the teacher of the temple house, Huiyin Kamishirasawa will be fully in charge of the real estate property, personnel changes and student attendance arrangements of the private school. ”

This was completely unexpected by Foggy Rain and Hui, and he couldn't help asking, "Add a private school?" Mr. Mo Ming...... Why is that?"

Because of what happened just now, the head of the Foggy Rain family has learned a lesson and will no longer wishfully think that this human has the idea of thinking about the world, but in any case, he can't understand what benefits adding a private school can be for Mo Ming.

"I promised two leprechauns that they would be able to fill their bellies and learn knowledge, and now seems to be the right time. ”

"Fairy, Mr. Mo Ming is ......" Wuyu and Hui looked at Mo Ming's expression and confirmed, and immediately refused, "How is it possible......?

"Foggy rain and Hui!You are also an old man, as the head of a family, have you lived to the belly of a dog?" Facing this person who was suspected of being Marisa's father, Mo Ming didn't give any room for mercy.

"You ......"

"Misty Rain and Hui, what do you think of the humans in the village who clapped their hands when they saw the tragic death of the demon slayers?"

"Insensitive and ignorant!"

"In my opinion, you are still excessive, those numb people still know that they are in danger and will not affect others with their own bodies, and you, who are obviously shallow and short-sighted, but rely on the courage of the horseman, lead the clan to leap into the abyss, so disappoint the trust of your followers, what kind of face do you have to accuse others?"

"I ......"

"Use your rotten brain and think about it, what is what you really should have done a long time ago but have been ignoring? The Tengu of Yokai Mountain obviously have their own writing, why do Tengu's newspapers appear in the human language and other places in Gensokyo? Why don't you investigate carefully, Yokai Mountain is also divided into two major factions, one for and against the use of human writing, of which supporters account for the majority, why don't you think about the reason? Human civilization has always been the envy of youkai! Why are there very few rumors of big monsters taking the initiative to attack human beings? It's not just that you think, big monsters have their own arrogance, another important reason is that big monsters know more about human history and civilization than humans in the human world, and they still have a trace of respect for a human being, not for a single human being, but for the existence of human civilization as a whole! And your hostility has made this respect come to naught! So your stupid brain has figured out what to do? No one can snatch it away, so why hide it? Don't you find that this kind of external isolation is actually only isolating human beings themselves? If you have a little brain, you should also understand that the so-called "culture" is an indispensable and important condition for human beings to gain a foothold in the fantasy land surrounded by monsters! Is it too much to let goblins study in human villages? As long as the unstable factors of goblins hurting people can be eliminated, this is absolutely beneficial to human beings? Do you think that goblins who have received human education? Which way will their three views be tilted? Do you think that if all the youkai in Yokai Mountain start to use human writing, read human books, and recognize and learn human aesthetics, will the status of human beings in Gensokyo change at that time? Do you think that if the big youkai who act willfully based on their personal preferences get acquainted with the friendly humans in the village, and if the village and the youkai sage clash one day, will they abandon their friends and stand on the opposite side of the village because they are youkai? Now I say, I can make the yokai no longer rely on the "fear" of human beings, and even more, what does it mean that humans can establish a new balance with the yokai? The checks and balances between the two sides still exist, but the constraints on development have disappeared, and humans no longer need to remain ignorant, but, that's it? How many people are there in the world? There are only a few private schools in the village? How many people have studied? Do you think they can study the technological system of the outside world in this environment if they are given a thousand years? Have you ever thought about what it means to spread human culture to all the youkai in Gensokyo at this time, and assimilate their minds to downplay their hostility?

After finishing speaking in one breath, Mo Ming also had to slow down, and then looked at the fog and rain and Hui, and was completely stunned in place.

Mo Ming cleared his throat, pointed to the dagger on the ground and said: "The reason why I show this hand is to tell you, I am not muddy, if the world intends to coerce me violently, there is also room for coercion here, if there is really that time, I'm sorry, I will definitely take the solution to the coffin, I believe this is the result that we don't want to see, as for whether you should take this risk, you think about it yourself." As for the conditions, it is very clear, one is to provide enough rations for all the goblins in Gensokyo, and the other is to open a private school for them and teach them knowledge, so I will tell you how to break the shackles of the human world...... Why do I want to mention this condition I don't bother to explain、As for why I know the solution、It's not because I'm smarter than you.,But I happen to know something you don't know.,Once you say it.,In fact, it doesn't matter much to me.,At that time, I won't have anywhere to reason when you break the contract.、So、If one of the people decides to trade.,Please recruit the village chief and the patriarchs.,I decide whether to pull the monster sage side into the table depending on the situation.,The specific method and the stakes in it.、Weigh it yourself.。 ”

After saying that, Mo Ming waved his hand, and before Wuyu and Hui came back to their senses, they had already walked out of the village.

In the distance, Mo Ming said hello to the two little brothers standing on the night guard, and then walked into the darkness humming an unknown song.

Wuyu and Hui looked at Mo Ming's disappearing figure, their faces were complicated, but they bowed and startled the two little brothers standing guard in the distance.

......

......

The time to think always flies, and I don't know how long later, the Misty Rain Patriarch, who was sitting on the stone platform on the side in a daze, came back to his senses and saw the clan people who were still together just now in front of him.

"You ......" seemed to have been staggered by the blows of various reasons, and Kiri and Hui did not react much.

Instead, the crowd began to ask questions.

"Patriarch, that Mo Ming has already left?"

"Hehui, is this person as legendary?

In the middle of everyone's words, Wuyu and Hui completely came to his senses, he looked around at everyone and sighed.

"This man is not as great as he is rumored, but looks more like a businessman, who gives what he has in exchange for what he wants, and is such a mercenary little man. ”

Kiryu Sutsumito stepped forward and handed the saber back: "Patriarch, this was found on the side of the street just now, could it be that you actually had a fight with that Mo Ming?"

Wuyu and Hui, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the first warriors of the Wuyu clan, their swordsmanship is recognized by everyone, and now it is unacceptable to say that he was beaten by Mo Ming and discarded his saber.

Kiryu and Hui just shook their heads, but they didn't intend to explain more.

Then someone asked:

"What kind of pie did this guy just now? I don't really think that with a brick in my hand, I can fight against you, Lord Misty Rain, right?"

Hearing this, Wuyu and Hui smiled bitterly: "No, it's just a question and an answer." ”

"Lord Fog and Rain...... What do you mean?"

"Actually, you and I both know that it is impossible to use force, and this person naturally knows it," Misty Rain and Hui sighed, "I waited for the saber to block his way, and revealed to him the message that 'for the sake of our position, he may not hesitate to resort to force', and he picked up the unseemly brick as a weapon, and only answered me head-on—the answer that "force cannot make him submit." ”

"Everybody is smart, you don't have to say it in the open. ”

But there was one sentence that was not finished, because Misty Rain and Hui had deep doubts about whether they were "smart people" at this moment.

"It's late at night, take care of yourself, I'm going back to the house to rest. ”

"The New Year's Eve festival over there has just started again, and although this happened tonight, the sign is still required...... Aren't you with Hui, give the New Year's Bo a lottery!" said a man who seemed to be the head of a certain clan.

"I can't do it, you can go yourself. ”

"Kazuki-sama, do you have something on your mind? Kiriyu asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little tired and want to rest as soon as possible, not to mention that there are many things to do during the day, so I have to keep my spirits up...... Ladies and gentlemen, go and ask for a signature, and don't worry about me. ”

As he spoke, he left everyone behind him and walked alone to the Fog and Rain House.

......

......

On the other hand, Mo Ming, who was singing loudly a song that he couldn't remember, and was trembling in the dark night, finally gave up his feet.

Limping and struggling, he came to the door of a small western-style building in the Magic Forest, and it was pitch black inside, and the owner seemed to have fallen asleep.

At six o'clock in the morning, in the dead of night, Mo Ming knocked on the door of a witch who lived alone.

......

......

Soon after, the door opened.

Although there was moonlight in the sky, the direction of the door at this moment was just with the moonlight on his back, and under the darkness, Mo Ming could only know by feeling that there was a person standing in front of him.

"Hi~" Mo Ming greeted, "I haven't slept so late." ”

It seems that you can feel the other party's speechlessness through the darkness...... I knocked on someone's door in the middle of the night and asked why the person who opened the door hadn't slept yet, and how should I answer?

"What's the matter?" said the familiar Alice's voice.

"Hmm...... There's been a lot going on tonight, let's see if there's anything going on with you. ”

"I'm fine, I'll talk about it during the day if there's anything to do. ”

It sounded like Alice was going to close the door like this, so Mo Ming had to gasp.

"Shhhh

"What's wrong?"

"I got my foot on the road when I came. ”

"......" didn't respond in the dark, as if to say, what does this have to do with her?

"Ahem, that's right.,I'm from the world.,Originally,If I take the moonlight.,It's no problem to go back to the shrine.、But because I'm worried about my friend's psychological condition, I decided to take a detour to the Magic Forest.、It's dark here.,And I feel like there's a lot of monster eyes staring at me in the dark.,One didn't notice.,I gave my foot away.。 ”

“......”

"I mean, you're also responsible for breaking my foot. ”

There was no response from the other side for a long time, Mo Ming wondered if his joke was too cold to embarrass the other side, and finally Alice snapped her fingers, and the oil lamps on several walls in the house instantly lit up.

Such a cool magic? It should be made by a puppet, right? Mo Ming, who was about to look inside at the puppet, couldn't take his eyes off.

At the same time, Alice seems to have noticed that something was wrong.

Mo Ming said, "Snowman, the shape is good......

With a bang, the door closed again, and Mo Ming was prepared and didn't knock his nose.

After a while, the door opened again.

Mo Ming looked inside, but didn't find Alice's figure, and it was a cute doll that opened the door.

It should be to let himself sit in the living room first, and Mo Ming will enter the house willingly.

It was the first time to visit Alice so late, and the flickering candles on the walls reflected the surrounding furniture, and a familiar figure was spotted at the top of the stairs - "Penglai" with a spear in his hand stood expressionlessly in the void, as if to say, "The master is guarded by me".

Mo Ming knew that Alice was changing clothes upstairs, so naturally there was no rudeness, but she just smiled and waved at "Penglai", and the other party turned her head and ignored him at all.

After a while, the signature footsteps sounded upstairs, the witch's boots still sounded gracefully and rhythmically, and Alice changed back into her everyday magician dress and walked down the spiral staircase.

"So...... Tell me, why did you go to Renli, what did you do, and was there a problem at the shrine?"

Alice picked up two cups of steaming black tea from the tea tray brought by the two dolls, put one in front of Mo Ming, and sat down at the other end of the tea table with the teacup.

Mo Ming picked up the black tea, blew it for a long time, and then drank it in one gulp.

"Uh...... I talked too much tonight and my throat hurts. ”

"Ha," Alice tilted her head, "Looks like a lot has happened." ”

"Hey, it's a blind toss, if it weren't for those people who want to involve our cute little Reimu, I wouldn't be too lazy to care. ”

"I've heard that someone is really dead, is it a rumor?"

"It is true that many people have died, but there are other reasons that I can't say clearly, or ...... Maybe you've already understood, but I'm too lazy to say it, my throat hurts. ”

Mo Ming took the second cup of black tea handed by "Shanghai" and continued to blow and intend to drink it all.

"You came from the human world, have you ever met a monster sage?"

Mo Ming shook her head: "I didn't show up, it seems that she is quite satisfied with my aftermath and feels that she doesn't need to come forward again." ”

"It's amazing, Mo Mingjun. ”

"That's, I'm the only one designated by the monster sage, harmless to humans and animals, honest and kind......

"The honest side is debatable. ”

"Shhh

"Well, it wasn't long ago. ”

"Since you're back here and you're willing to see me, and considering your current mood, can I understand that you have reached some kind of agreement with the youkai sage in some way, and you can reappear in Gensokyo?"

"Didn't Teacher Huiyin tell you about Lin?"

"You don't know how heavy a burden this kind of leaking of heavenly secrets is to Bai Ze, and I dare to ask Huiyin, for fear that Miss Meihong will be dismantled into a bone shelf. ”

Alice couldn't laugh when she heard this: "I owe a big favor now." ”

While speaking, the two puppets struggled to carry a steaming basin of water to Mo Ming's feet.

"Put it on, it'll be fine soon. ”

"Isn't it...... I still have this bit of common sense, but I definitely can't use a hot compress now, right?"

"This is not hot water but a medicinal herb, something that does not exist in the outside world, and your little common sense is better not to be shown in front of a knowledgeable witch. ”

Mo Ming was not happy: "You have these herbs here, which means that knowledgeable witches often break their feet when they go out?"

It's a pity that the counterattack didn't work: "This herb is only for stupid humans, witches won't use these defective products." ”

Oh, so it's for Marisa......

Mo Ming didn't bother with these anymore, took off his shoes, and picked up the hot towel...... Then he looked at the pink girly towel and hesitated, and looked at Alice.

"It's okay, it's a towel for the guests. ”

Forget it, Marisa is too lazy to care...... Mo Ming didn't talk nonsense, picked up a towel and applied it to the lump on her ankle.

It's a hot towel, but it has a cold feeling when you put it on, and it's extremely subtle.

Mo Ming continued the topic just now.

"Don't worry about a lot of debts.,There's such a thing as human affection.、It's time to pay it back if you have a chance.,Teacher Huiyin is not such a petty monster.,Compared to this.,On the way to come just now, I asked Reimu about the situation at the shrine......"

"Huh?"

"I heard that there were a lot of unplanned guests in the middle of the night, and the shrine was almost crowded, so there were many celestials in the sky, and the god of death in the Santu River......

"Death?" is that referring to Onozuka Komachi?" Alice keenly grasped the message that Mo Ming was trying to convey.

"Yes, I've heard that there are a lot of rare visitors who are rarely seen in normal times, and it seems to be very lively. Mo Ming said to herself.

Alice, however, wondered if it was a coincidence that the Grim Reaper appeared at the shrine at this time, and she couldn't help but want to make sure.

At this time, Mo Ming said: "Actually, if the witch doesn't sleep for a day or two, it's not a big problem, right? Now there are still a lot of people at the shrine, why don't you go over and join in the fun?" I estimated that there would be a lot of things tonight, and I was very wise to sleep during the day yesterday. ”

"Are you going to invite me? That's why you visited a lady's house in the middle of the night?"

"Heaven and earth conscience, I'm really just worried about my friend's condition when I'm here. Mo Ming shouted injustice.

"Well, I believe that. ”

The unexpected answer of "that ......" made Mo Ming not know how to take it down.

"Thank you. Alice looked at Mo Ming and said.

Mo Ming bent down to apply the lump on his foot and said, "I really don't think I've done anything worthy of your gratitude." ”

"Well," Alice said as if she wasn't going to discuss it too much, "hurry up and finish it, this herb is very potent for the human constitution, and you can leave later." ”

"Good. ”

......

......

At seven o'clock, Alice's mansion was surprisingly quiet.

Mo Ming bent over and put a towel on her feet, and Alice sat on the side without saying a word.

There seemed to be a slight fragrance coming from his ears and nose, and he didn't know if it was the herb or the breath of the witch, Mo Ming was about to say something to ease the embarrassment of the mystery at the moment.

Alice says:

"Mo Mingjun, I know what you're here for. ”

Are you going to say anything to thank me, Mo Ming thought, quietly covering his feet, and did not answer.

Alice said to herself:

"Actually, I did have doubts at the beginning about my own existence, whether it was necessary......

"Hmmm......"

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this topic, Mo Ming originally planned to straighten up and rest, but now he can only bend over and continue to apply his feet.

With Alice's personality, not looking at her face at this time will make it easier for her to talk.

So I just "um" to show that I was listening.

"I've been thinking that I'm unnecessary, no, I should say, it would be better if I didn't exist...... If it weren't for me, Rin wouldn't have ended up like that...... If I had been able to kill those youkai with all my strength in the first place, Rin wouldn't have been seriously injured to protect me...... If she hadn't been brought to earth with her serious injuries, she wouldn't have died...... I'm not so much the culprit, I'm not supposed to exist at all......"

No, Mo Ming completely denied this statement, Alice can only be regarded as the direct cause of Yin Yuelin's death, but just like one person killed another person with a dagger, although the dagger is the direct cause, it is definitely not the culprit.

Although there were objections, Mo Ming still did not speak. Since Alice chose to speak out, it means that her beliefs must have changed.

"Actually, before you came, I was sitting here thinking about these things. ”

"Snowman pajamas?"

“......”

"I'm sorry. ”

"It would be foolish for me to change my mind and deny the legitimacy of my existence, and while it is true that Lin died because of me, it would be tantamount to denying Lin and all the efforts she had done for me. ”

"Hmm. ”

"So, my encounter with Rin must be meaningful, so, no matter what the future holds, I can't regret my encounter with Rin and it would be too stupid to deny those past me...... But in any case, it's too early to give up, there must be something I can do. ”

“...... Well. ”

"Thank you, Mo Mingjun. ”

Mo Ming didn't speak for a long time, but after a while, she straightened up, beat her back painfully, and muttered, "Do you usually say that at this time?" ”

"How?"

"That's not usually what our people say. ”

"How would people from the outside world express their gratitude?" Alice wondered.

Mo Ming thought for a while:

"Well, it's been a long time, and I think about it," he said...... rubbing his temples, "People from the outside world usually say, 'I'm hungry, I'll go make something to eat,' or 'I'm tired, just rest early.'" ”

Alice thought for a long time, and finally said, "It's completely unsatisfactory." ”

Mo Ming nodded: "That's right, people from the outside world are sometimes unexpectedly shy and shy, and they always talk off-topic on this occasion." ”

"Is it the same for Mo Mingjun?"

"Who knows, but I don't hate Gensokyo's style. ”

"Well, I don't hate it. ”

As she spoke, Mo Ming had already put on her shoes again.

"Are you feeling better?"

"It's so much better, the herbs are so powerful!"

"It's not that the herbs are powerful, it's the knowledgeable witches who are powerful. Alice corrected.

"That's true," Mo Ming said with a smile, "Let's go, tonight is really long, and the shrine may be lively for a long time." ”

"Well, hurry up. ”

At the right time, Mo Ming and Alice pushed open the door of the western-style building and walked in the direction of the shrine.
