Chapter 105: The Reclusive Swordsman and the Crow (Part II)

(a)

"This is it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yuka stopped, pointed to an abandoned air-raid shelter not far away, and said.

By the time the two of them crossed the mountain, it was already dark. At this point, it is not a good idea for ordinary people to go deep into the mountains and old forests to explore the secrets. However, these two people are ruthless characters who see ghosts, and they have no fear, and they have walked through the inaccessible primeval forest in the dark, all the way to here.

Surrounded by the Black Forest, with an ominous abandoned tunnel in front of you, it's the perfect place to shoot a horror movie. Nalan looked around a few times, and couldn't help but sigh:

"This is a broken ground, if you want ghosts and ghosts, and if you want an atmosphere to have an atmosphere, you just need a few stupid white sweet female college students to run over and die...... Why don't you call Renzi and Melly next time and go into the hole together and take a spin together?"

Of course, Lianzi had already been here once, and Nalan Yu didn't know about it.

"Ghost?" Yuka looked around with a puzzled expression, then turned to Nalan Twilight and asked:

"Why didn't I see anything?"

"We're just that, nerds!"

In response, Yuka glared at Nalan Twilight with a look of "You have the ability to say another word", and Nalan Twilight just smiled and shook her head and took a few steps forward.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, he suddenly stopped and stood there still.

"Yo, Yuka," he put away all his smiles, turned his head, and stretched out his hand to beckon, "Come and see this!"

"Did you find anything?" Yuka asked, walking up to him.

Nalan Twilight didn't give her a direct reply, but stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground under his feet and asked:

"Tell me, what do you see?"

Yuka squatted down, pinched a small handful of soil with her fingers, rubbed it open and spread it on her index finger, and carefully examined it.

"Wet Dirt ......"

As she spoke, she brought her index finger to her nostrils and sniffed the soil.

"Smells of blood......"

Yuxiang slapped the slag in her hand, stood up, and looked at Nalan Twilight with a solemn face, and all the words she wanted to say had been written on her face.

"Probably because I'm a vampire, I'm better than normal people in this regard...... No, it's actually much sharper than most of the youkai, so ......" Nalan Twilight looked down at the dark and thick land like a farmer's shoulder, and said lightly:

"In my eyes, there is a large pool of black and red blood, which has long since coagulated, but has not yet had time to dissipate. I'm guessing it's been sprinkled here for at least 24 hours, but not more than 48 hours. ”

"Tell me, Yuka," he asked, looking up, "what has happened here in the last two days?"

Yuka didn't answer his question at the first time, but walked to the nearest tree to her, gently pressed her palm against the trunk, and closed her eyes.

"All day yesterday...... The forest is calm and nothing happens. She recounted slowly.

"The day before yesterday, no one came here during the day. In the evening, a long-haired man dressed very strangely and wearing a mask on his face arrived. ”

"That must be Radu III, our prey, the culprit of the chaos. Nalan Yu hugged his arms and said.

Soon after, a girl with wings on her back flew out of the tunnel...... And there was a conflict with the man who had been lying in ambush here for a long time. ”

"That's the ...... of the Shooting Pill," Nalan Yu's face darkened, "What about later, what was the result of the battle?"

"Fighting...... It was very intense, and in the end, the girl fell to the ground in defeat, covered in bruises, and was dying. Just as she was about to be killed, a white-haired old man armed with a long knife came to her rescue, and the two finally escaped. ”

"Long knife, old man, with this kind of combat power, it is difficult to ......" Nalan Yu muttered in a low voice, and then urged:

"Go on, what about the rest of the story?"

After the old man fled with the girl, the masked man, who was exhausted, also gave up the pursuit and turned to leave. A few hours later, three girls in fancy clothes came out of the tunnel and walked down the hill with a smile and a smile. ”

After finishing speaking, Youxiang opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Nalan Twilight, and said:

"That's what happened in those two days, or rather, what the plants in the neighborhood have witnessed. ”

"Well, thank you. Nalan nodded his head, "In this way, I will probably have a clear idea." ”

"First of all, that jet-black tunnel is probably the portal that Radu III used to transport troops to Gensokyo, and it is a two-way portal. He analyzed, "Wen first came to the present world through it, and as soon as he came out, he was ambushed and almost lost his life, but thanks to the hermit passing by who rescued him, he was able to pick up a life." ”

Then, Reimu, Alice, and Marisa also walked out of the tunnel, because they came late, and they were neither ambushed nor met Wen who had gone first. The servants just walked farther and farther away, and disappeared. ”

"Well analyzed," Yuka said, "so what are you going to do?"

"The three little girls have Marisa leading the way, and God knows how far they can run in two days. In short, it is impossible to find it without a lot of effort. These two can leave it alone for now, let's go and pick up the text first, and then think about other things. ”

"Pick it up?" Yuka wondered, "You mean, do you know where the Shotimaru is located?"

"Hehe, it's such a coincidence, I really know!" a small smile appeared on Nalan Hao's lips, "What if I told you that the swordsman who saved her happened to be an old acquaintance of mine? No, maybe you know him too, if you've been in Gensokyo long enough." ”

"Who's that?"

"A hint to you, Underworld, Court Master, half-human, half-spirit. ”

"Wait a minute, I think I've heard of such a person, his name seems to be ......"

"Let's go," Nalan Twilight pulled out the car keys from his pocket, turned his fingers twice, and said, "His house is not far from here, about fifteen minutes by car, and he might be able to make dinner now." ”

Youji is busy in the kitchen, spoonful after spoonful of the dishes in the pot. The enticing aroma wafted through the crack in the door and into the living room.

In normal times, Shotimaru Wen would definitely be tempted by the smell of this food. But today, only today, she is completely unmoved.

Because she has a mission.

"Next is the international news, US President Trump recently tweeted that ......"

"International news, uh-huh......"

Wearing black-framed eyes, holding a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other, he sat upright on the sofa, watching the hostess on TV broadcast current affairs and news in a rounded manner, copying and writing all the time.

Since she first turned on the TV, Wen has watched no less than 30 news programs until now. She spends her days in front of the TV, constantly jumping from one news station to the next, just to imprint more news reports in her head.

The B5-sized notebook was densely filled with the on-camera reporting skills, TV news gathering and editing points, broadcasting skills, and so on. She had only been in the world for two days, but she had gained new knowledge that had not been heard of for thousands of years.

For this, even if she was injured, bled out, and took half a life, she felt that it was worth it, and it was worth it. The wounds on her body that had not had time to scab over seemed to have disappeared all at once, and the thrilling death match the night before had long been left behind by her, as if it had never happened.

Compared to what she was planning now, and what she was going to accomplish in the future, that battle was nothing but a penny. When she returns to Gensokyo with the journalism she has learned in the present world, Moon believes that a hurricane is about to sweep across the land.

And the one who stirred up the storm will have no one else but her.

"Ding Dong!"

At this time, a shrill doorbell overshadowed the sound of the TV, disrupting Wen's train of thought. She didn't want to pay attention to it, but Youji opened the kitchen door, leaned out half of her body and said to her:

"Wen, help go out and open a door, I can't get out of my hands now!"

So she walked quickly through the courtyard to the gate, and while complaining inwardly about the uninvited guest who had disturbed her studies, she stretched out her hand to open the door.

Then, when she first saw the faces of the two visitors, the resentment in her heart disappeared in an instant.

Instead, there were nine points of surprise and one point of joy.

"Yo, Wenwen, should I say it's been a long time?"

"Na...... Nalan Twilight, how did you get here?"
