Chapter 611: Death of the Upright
When Asamiko rests at night, she is used to reading novels or manga for a while, and since her father came these days, she has been accompanying her father to visit Heian City, and she is happy but has not forgotten her habits.
"Chenjun seems to have written a little story for Gensokyo, let's take a look first. β
Asamiko was wearing loose pajamas, the air conditioner was on in the room, she didn't cover anything, she just lay on her side, holding a tablet in her hand.
This story is attached to the music CD of "Oriental Gensokyo" released this time, and at the same time as the release, it was also uploaded in the Oriental section of Dmfun.
This is the second literary work of "Oriental Fantasy Town" in addition to "Oriental Seeking Knowledge". However, in "The History of Oriental Learning", there are some exquisite vertical paintings, but this one, except for the cover, does not have any pictures.
Some fans even lamented that the girls in Gensokyo are all children raised by their stepmothers.
"Penglai Humanoid"?" Seeing a new work in the Oriental Zone, Asamiko muttered the name, "Is it about the story of Meihong?" or about Alice's doll?"
Looking at the name, it's impossible to know whose story it is. In Gensokyo, Fujiwara Meihong is a Penglai person, and she has the title of "Penglai people's appearance", and one of her spell cards is also called "Penglai human form". And the seven-colored puppet Alice also has a puppet called "Penglai Doll".
Judging by the length, this is a short story that is not even a short story.
With curiosity, Asamiko reads the novel seriously. Then she had insomnia......
"Huh, Aamiko, what's wrong with you?
When she woke up in the morning, Yi Jingjiao saw Asamiko staring at a pair of heavy dark circles under her eyes. Feeling sluggish, he asked suspiciously.
They were also busy for various activities for a few days at the beginning of the anime festival, and they didn't have anything to do at the beginning of the fanshow, so they were all on vacation.
Asamiko's appearance doesn't look like she's on vacation, but rather like she's working all night on something.
Yi Jingjiao couldn't help but think that it could be He Chen who found something to bully Asamiko again, right?
It's no wonder that Yi Jingjiao thinks so much, it's really He Chen who can't help but think of this placeβeven though she herself is sometimes an accomplice to certain things.
"I haven't rested well all night......" Asamiko seemed a little uneasy. With a steaming cup in her hand, Luna slipped out from under the couch and swept her tail to Asamiko's calf. They all scared her and immediately shrunk her legs to the sofa.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that her "maid" was ignoring her, Luna went to her hostess to be coquettish, and Yi Jingjiao gently stepped on her soft belly with her foot. Massage it gently. Luna wraps her two front paws around her beautiful jade feet, opening her mouth comfortably, making a soft "meow" sound, and occasionally sticking out her tongue to lick it.
Yi Jingjiao asked Asamiko with concern, thinking that Asamiko had some "girl's heart" and didn't sleep well all night.
"Yesterday, I read the little story written by Chenjun......" The cold wind from the air conditioner came out, and Asamiko's body suddenly trembled, and the water in the quilt was almost spilled. She looked suspiciously from side to side, especially the dolls in the room. There was a deep fear in his eyes.
She took a sip of water from the cup, her face turned a little pale, and she said, "It's terrible, Gensokyo is terrible, Alice is terrible......"
Yi Jingjiao was stunned for a moment at first, and then suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "You watched "Penglai Humanoid" last night. β
"Well, if you don't die, you won't die, so why don't you know? Curiosity can kill not only cats, but also people. Yi Jingjiao leaned over and gently touched Asamiko's head like Luna.
"Didn't I say it's a horror story, kids shouldn't just watch it?"
Asamiko's fear of horror stories is something that everyone knows, but they also know that He Chen's favorite thing to do is to use Asamiko as the material to create horror stories, such as Sadako and Ga Coconut, who will believe that they are not based on Asamiko?
Especially their movies, all of which are designated by He Chen to star in Mamiko, and He Chen's death is different from changing the protagonist - well, of course, Yi Jingjiao, Hu Tao, including Ling Yan, are also He Chen's accomplices.
They think it's very interesting to let a person who knows that these horror movies are all played by himself, and even knows what scenes will appear in the next scene, but he is still scared in this way, to act in horror movies.
Of course, it is impossible to say this on the lips, they are in the name of exercising the will of Asamiko.
"Sister Jingjiao, when did you tell me?" asked Asamiko confusedly.
"Didn't you say that?" asked Yi Jingjiao.
"Did you say that?" said Asamiko aggrievedly.
Yi Jingjiao thought about it, so she said, "Maybe I forgot about it." β
Asamiko wants to cry without tears, how can she forget such an important thing?
If she had known that this was such a story, she wouldn't have read it.
If she hadn't read this story, she wouldn't have been so scared and frightened.
If she hadn't been so scared, she wouldn't have lost sleep......
Asamiko also has an advantage that no one pays attention to, that is, she has a good memory, she can work and live at the same time, and she will be such a big family, and she will be well organized by herself, in addition to the standardized living habits, her memory should not be underestimated - when she was studying here, she mastered the language very quickly, and she couldn't say anything from the beginning, and it didn't take long to be able to participate in dubbing work.
Now if it weren't for the strong island girl style on her body, I'm afraid that she is a Chinese, and no one will doubt it.
Therefore, there is no doubt about her memory, but there are times when she doesn't like her memory - for example, at times when she doesn't want to remember these stories at all, but they always echo in her mind. He Chen's story is like carrying the "He virus", playing tricks on the timid Asamiko, and it will not be separated.
I'm afraid her insomnia will have to last for a while.
In fact. If she could have skimmed the comments before she read them, she might have been able to avoid them in advance.
On the first day of the same exhibition, it was still calm on the Internet, and everyone may still be watching the OVA of "fate" at that time, or playing "Oriental Flower Reflection Tomb".
It wasn't until the next day that the topic of "Penglai Humanoid" exploded.
"My Alice can't be that scary!"
After watching that unusually short story. Some fans don't seem to be able to take on such a story. There are two Alices in Gensokyo, one is Alice the magic and the other is the puppet Alice. The two images are exactly the same, and they seem to have some very subtle connection, but they are never mentioned in He Chen's information. The only thing that can make fans relate to it is the dialogue between Alice and Reimu in the Demon Dream. Alice says that it is Reimu's old friend. But Reimu doesn't remember at all.
However, no matter which Alice it is, she has a fan guard.
"I didn't say it was Alice from beginning to end, how can you be so sure it's Alice? β
"The one upstairs, I doubt you're paying attention. It has been pointed out several times that blonde hair, which in Gensokyo, matches blonde hair, can be linked to this story. It's just Alice!, and in the last words of the Red and White Witch, she learns that she seems to have seen this person before. How could a person who had never been to Gensokyo ever see it? So, this must be the story of Alice. β
A group of words of approval soon followed.
"Gensokyo has never been a peaceful Gensokyo, don't forget about the young Lingmeng. If Rumia can accept it, why should she deny Alice? You know, Alice has never been a human, she is a witch in the demon world, and she is a magician in Gensokyo. β
"Yesterday we had a long discussion in the group, and finally we felt that there was a possibility that best matched the truth. This is the story of Alice the Witch and Alice the Magician! This is a ritual that Divine Qi uses to reincarnate her daughter Alice in Gensokyo!"
O upright who have wandered away from home,
People who pursue the origin.
Please walk through the jungle to find out.
Walk through the jungle to the end and you will eventually reach the "pavilion".
Look for the red and white lake in front of the "pavilion".
Here sleep the jade branches of Penglai.
O man who holds the jade branch in his hand, let him follow the following starting point.
On the first night, dedicate the heads of the curious.
On the second night, dominate the beautiful body.
On the third night, the weak are removed.
Fourth night, wise man, stab.
Fifth night, Elder, bewildered.
On the sixth night, the awakened, nailed.
On the seventh night, the cowardly, sacrifice.
The eighth night, the morning one, poison.
On the ninth night, the witch came back to life, and no one survived.
On the tenth night, the journey ends and ends in Gensokyo.
The witch praises the sage and bestows four treasures.
One is that there is no dead body.
One is the magic book that connects to the source.
One is that the sage is permanently at peace.
One is for the immortality of witches.
Wake up, my favorite daughter, Alice Margot Royd.
ββ¦β¦ In this way, Alice's witch is a well-deserved 'witch', which is terrible. That's not the Alice I like!"
According to the speculation that it was thought to be a description of Alice, Alice herself in the story has been a black mess, if you use the speculation of "the resurrection ceremony prepared by Shenqi for Alice", this is not only black, it is simply crazy, but it is also a black and black two, and even the most gentle and cute Mrs. Shenqi in the minds of countless fans has been completely black.
It's no wonder that no one wants to believe this speculation - because if they did, then the beautiful Gensokyo in their minds might have collapsed.
But this story is definitely about Gensokyo, and what is the truth of this story?
"The only survivors in the story are the beautiful ones, and in the Gensokyo setting, there are only two people who are directly marked as beauties, and that is Kaguya and Alice...... Oh yes, now another one has been added, and the milk that only appeared in Haneizuka. Among them, Alice is the only one with blond hair, which is in line with Alice's setting. And the connection between Alice of the Demon World and Alice of Gensokyo has always been a question, and this time it may be a story that illustrates the connection between the two, the opportunity for Alice to enter Gensokyo from the Demon World!"
"Wait. Alice didn't say she was dead, so why was she born again? Besides, why was she born again? It doesn't make sense!"
ββ¦β¦β
"What are you talking about? Why is it different from the Gensokyo I know?" Meng Xiaobai interjected in the discussion, which immediately attracted the earnest concern of a group of "kind" seniors.
"This is a small story, the story "Penglai Human Form" written by the god master, it is said that there is a secret of how to enter Gensokyo, as long as this secret is solved. You can walk into that magical fantasy village! This treasure needs to be seriously thought about, and it is recommended to see it at night. This is the perfect time to open the Gensokyo Great Enchantment, and for accompaniment, loop with Asamiko's 'Worm Flying' single. Boy, the door to Gensokyo is open for you!"
"Penglai Humanoid". Or call it "Death to the Upright." GOD ZUN PINCHED THE WORLD-FAMOUS BRITISH MYSTERY WRITER AGATHA CHRISTI'S "NO ONE SURVIVES", WHICH IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED MYSTERY NOVELS IN HISTORY.
This story is too dark because of its careful consideration, so He Chen is extremely impressed by it. So taking advantage of the thorough anime festival, I also wrote this story, and put another deep and big pit in front of the fans and let them jump down.
"From the very beginning, there were only eight people in our village. It has been two years since all the staff moved to the eastern hill. It was indeed a boring day. Someday. One of them found a cave on the edge of the peach tree. Yes, we have all been lost in Paradise ever since. And then in the blink of an eye. I'm no longer human. β
"1: I was the most curious, and I hurried straight into the forest. I was stopped by a mysterious clown in the depths of the forest, who looked happy and handed me the Penglai jade branch. The moment I took it, I felt as if my head and body were separated. I could neither move nor speak, and I could never see my companion again. There are seven of the righteous remaining. β
"2: In the morning, a red and white shrine maiden dancing on the water of the pond comes into view. I got up the earliest, intoxicated by the flamboyant and free dance posture as if in a different world, and soon after the sky rained, when I came back to my senses, the figure of the witch was no longer there. β
"3: Didn't know that the rain had stopped. The shrine maiden was soaked and disappeared as if she had melted into the rain. I was so focused on the shrine maiden that I didn't know that the rain had turned into a storm, and the most beautiful me was captured by the clown. The clown just disappeared into the storm, and I couldn't go back to where we were, and there were six of the righteous left. β
"4: That night, the six of them had an exotic banquet. As the youngest of me, I was in a state of extreme boredom because I had never touched tobacco or alcohol, and I quietly escaped from the place, but was caught by the unlucky clown hiding in the dark. I, simply and crisply, had my head cut off. I can't do boring things anymore. There are five of the upright remaining. β
"5: I ran until I couldn't catch my breath. I was the most timid, and I was terrified of this paradise. Although this was all expected, no matter where I ran, I still couldn't find my way back. The people I missed were gone, and the reason I needed to survive was gone, so I wrapped the rope around the thick branches and hung myself by the neck in frustration...... Why am I still conscious? Is the rope too fragile...... The most timid of me has been reborn. Since there was nothing left to lose, I decided to give myself another chance and pretend to be human. β
"6: When we woke up, the five of us were in the dark. According to someone, we seem to have been caught by a mysterious clown. The four men had a childish plan to escape. The smartest of me, though I felt that I should stop them, I never spoke. The plan went as the four imagined, and it ended in success. And then I will never be able to escape. Passing the time in the long darkness, I immediately realized that the clown was among us. Suddenly, I felt the breath behind me. However, I chose to leave it to my fate. The heat spread from my back. β
"7: Our brilliant escape plan was a success. We're supposed to be smart. At the same time of relief, we returned to Paradise to find a place to stay, and no one ever doubted each other, we were all upright. Everybody's going to have a good time......"
"8: In Paradise, we built a house that happened to be right and lived in it. The old Western-style house in the depths of the forest welcomes us at all times. But the dishes that await us are always hearty. We can only eat half of it all the time, and we, as upright people, have only half of it at some point and one point. β
"9: In the afternoon, as usual, tea time. And I never miss an appointment. There is only bitter coffee, but today I feel a hint of sweetness. Maybe it's Love-Potion...... The most mature me, I fell asleep with the happiness of admiring a beautiful clown. There are three righteous ones left. β
"10: I clearly saw my companion die of poisoning. That shouldn't be suicide. I picked the coffee at random and delivered it to everyone's room. You can't sue the other two that he's dead. I am the most vigilant and never eat food that I didn't prepare. I desperately stayed awake before the two of them fell asleep. We went into each person's room and locked it. Yes, I doubt one of the two. Suddenly there was a voice in my ears from somewhere, who was the devil as if it had been hammered into a tree?, my face contorted in the terrible darkness. My hands and feet ached at the same time. It's like being pierced by a five-inch nail. Although I thought I should go and negotiate with the psychic master. But eventually I sensed something coming. yes, I've been nailed to the wood, and I can't move. Which side is doing this to me? The last nail is driven into the center of the eyebrow. There, I saw the face I had expected. There was no time left for shouting, and the light was completely cut off. β
"Interlude: You're so unproductive. Don't you understand that the righteous will suffer, and that the keen sense of the past will be relegated to such seclusion...... Don't you want to like the prosperity of the streets, the richness, and the happiness again? It's just that I want to revise the trajectory of my life again. Just go back to the life of the thieves of the past. Having finished something, I prepared breakfast while waiting for the night to fall. β
"11: When I first got up, my consciousness was already in a state of lingering. I guess what was put in the ham and egg in the morning. Why my mind is so bad, the only two of them are left to realize it at all. It's all his doing. It was he who killed the others one by one in his madness. But either way, it's too late...... The former shrine maiden seems to appear in front of my eyes. Was it my hallucination? Besides, was her hair so golden? In exchange for my life, I longed to look at it for a while, I pleaded so much. However, only the former was honored. β
"12: I've been reborn since that day, after dinner yesterday. Intense drowsiness ensued. His head hurt as if it had been cut off. I can't remember the events of last night, and it feels like I'm living in a dream forever. It would be nice if we didn't even have to face the reality in front of us...... What's going on, one got coffee poisoning, one got nailed to the wood, and then another was beheaded...... What the hell is going on. I muttered my last words as I prepared the chair and rope. The last people to die were the only ones who drank coffee and died. In other words, is that what it is? That's it. I guess I put something in my dinner. That doesn't matter to me anymore, I'm just alone now. I have no attachment to this world of filthy lies. This time with a strong enough rope to tie the patio, I kicked the high chair away this time, and the body never returned to the ground. After that, the upright person ceases to exist zΓ i. β
"13: The shrine maiden of Paradise, as usual, sent away the always peaceful summer. One day in the summer, it was recorded in the diary of the shrine maiden. One day in August, if I had to talk about what happened today, it was that I met a beautiful blonde girl who came out of a ruined house in the forest. I thought I should have seen her somewhere, but I couldn't remember the trivialities. The girl stuck out her tongue and nodded in obscurity, then laughed and walked towards the exit of the paradise. Strange girl. Speaking of which, the girl must be the only woman in the Righteous Eight, although those things are fine. Ah, it's been another boring day...... The number of humans in this paradise 'Gensokyo' has been reduced by eight, and the remains of seven people have been safely brought by the youkai. Gensokyo has lost the Righteous forever. That's just a change in value. That kind of thing is not big news at all. (To be continued......)
PS: 2-in-1 big chapter!
It should be cool, it's only this one today.
