Chapter 93: Painting the Landscape, Painting the Heart (Part 5)
The magic broomstick escaped Marisa's grasp and deflected, diving headlong into a pile of scraps of wood not far away. Fujiwara Mei Red floated behind Marisa with a pair of fire feathers, hooked her two arms, and lifted her whole body, her feet dangling in the air, as if an adult was preventing an elementary school student from fighting.
"If I hadn't held you down, you'd really be going to go up and fight her?"
Hearing this, Marisa glanced back at Mei Hong, smiled a little unconfidently, and said:
"Hey, hey, hey...... Probably?"
"Hey......." Mei Hong sighed, "You only have one life, if I were you, I would cherish it even more." ”
With that, she took away the flaming wings and slowly fell, putting Marisa back on the floor. After that, the first thing she did was to come to the unconscious Huiyin and get down on one knee.
"How's it going?"
Mei Hong probed Huiyin's pulse with her fingers, and asked Alice on the side without raising her head.
"Stability, do you understand what I say?" Alice said, "In short, you can rest assured that your life is not in danger in the short term." ”
"Really?"
Mei Hong replied lightly, and then covered Huiyin with the quilt - that is, Marisa's coat - and stood up expressionlessly.
"I thought you'd be a little more excited. ”
Alice quipped as she looked at her slightly solemn face.
"If I were a thousand years younger, then I would definitely lose control of my emotions on the spot, make a big fuss, rush up and tear that heavenly demon by the hand, and fight with you again. "After that, I will spend a long and painful thousand years in regret and self-blame, and learn the lesson of this blood—impulse is the devil." ”
"I think I've paid enough for tuition...... If I had been more 'excited' to solve the problem, I would have healed Huiyin's injuries in an instant, let the red moon set, the sun rise, and then we would have a happy drink together, and then I would have blown up this building a long time ago." However, it can't, then I choose to be silent. ”
With that, Mei Hong took a step and walked towards Reimu by the glass wall. Her shadow was dragged by the moonlight, just like her long life.
Marisa straightened her messy blonde hair and her small waistcoat, which wasn't very smooth. Then, she looked up at Mei Hong and Reimu, who were standing side by side, and the two of them were standing next to the great yin-yang jade that had flattened good and evil, with their backs to the large hole in the glass outer wall. They seemed to have been through a lot before they came here, and their clothes were torn and covered in dried blood. Originally, these two people were "red and white", but now, they have become "only red and not white".
"What's wrong with you, did you just get out of a human BBQ?" Marisa asked, looking at them half-jokingly.
"Almost, right?" said the two of them in unison.
"Deny me 'human flesh', you ......"
"Crunch!"
A tooth-aching noise interrupts the conversation and draws everyone's attention, including Marisa, who is about to vomit more. The source of this sound was the yin and yang jade beside Ling Meng and Mei Hong, which was as tall as a person.
Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, the closest Reimu and Mei Hong jumped away from the big yin-yang jade at the first time, and then looked at the past with vigilant eyes. I saw that on the surface of the big round ball, there were two more ink-colored strings at some point, and the python was tied to death, and the more tightly wound they were. The rope was no thicker than a finger, but its strength was amazing. At this time, the great yin-yang jade that crushed the good and evil had been strangled into an oval shape, and as the two strings continued to tighten, it was gradually being flattened, like a bouncy ball that was about to reach the limit of its extension. The strange sound of "crunching" is the wail of its dying moment.
After a closer look, Reimu found that it was not a "rope" at all, nor a "silk" or "thread", nor even a little edge. The surface of the pitch-black thread glowed with water waves, and its own form rose and fell like waves, forming a long line of liquid!
"It's ink!" said the girl on the side, "It's made of ink!"
"How is this possible......"
Before Lingmeng finished speaking, her yin and yang jade "bang" and was strangled. The small yin-yang jade that retracted to its original state broke through the light dust and smoke generated by the explosion, and quickly returned to Reimu's hand. Seeing the palm-sized, faded jade lying quietly in the palm of his hand, Reimu put away the astonishment on his face, and his gaze became as sharp as a war eagle.
The so-called "large" yin-yang jade is not that it has become larger in itself, but that it is wrapped around the small yin-yang jade with a circle of dense energy, so it appears very large. This armor made of pure energy made the Yin-Yang Jade nearly indestructible, but it was not absolutely invincible. Unreasonable destructive abilities like Nalan Twilight and Fran, and unreasonable monsters like Kazami Yuka, can still destroy it. Now, this Yin Yang Jade has been destroyed at the hands of a mere Heavenly Demon, and Reimu knows what it means.
She clenched the jade in her hand and looked up.
Good and evil pulled her body out of the human-shaped groove in the marble floor, and staggered to her feet, the pieces of rubble covering her body "snapped" and slid down. The outline of her figure was vaguely imprinted on the pale white smoke, hunched over, her hands on her knees, and it was clear at a glance that she was not lightly injured.
The evening breeze poured in through the large hole in the glass façade, blowing away the obstructive smoke. At this point, Reimu saw clearly that there was not the slightest hint of fear on the blood-stained face of good and evil, and there was just a faint smile on his chest.
"The heroes are finally together, what a touching scene!"
As he spoke, he straightened his back and put his hand in his pocket.
"I ...... Ahem!"
She coughed heavily, then pulled a playing card out of her pocket...... Half of it, to be exact, because the other half has already been burned to ashes. The remaining half of the card was stamped with black spots baked by the heat, and the cartoon version of the lower half of the Goddess Garden's body and an inverted line of "Joker" text were faintly visible on it—the same Joker card she had drawn earlier.
"I have a trump card!" Good and evil held the half card in front of her with one hand, and firmly grasped her eight-card mirror with the other, "but ......"
"It doesn't seem to be enough to deal with you. ”
With that, she let go of her index finger and thumb, which was holding the cards, and let the half of the Joker fall freely to the ground.
"But, fortunately, in addition to the 'trump card', I also have the final 'hole card'. ”
With that, she reached out and pulled out a second card from her pocket—an intact, ghost card. The poor girl above stared at Reimu with resentful eyes, as if he was begging her for money.
"You must have been thinking about things like 'how is this Heavenly Demon going to get out of this situation?'" Zheng Xie said, showing a sly smile, "And I, what I'm thinking is, how do you guys get out of the impending fiasco?"
"Because you can't win against 'him', you should have realized and understood who the person I am referring to. Actually, every single one of you, including Teacher Huiyin lying on the ground, knows him. ”
"Pap", "Papa", "Papa"
The footsteps of the general laws of machinery sounded in the dark depths of no one, and they approached step by step. A pure white little boy without a trace of dirt finally appeared in everyone's field of vision. The shock and anger on their faces proved the view of good and evil—they did know him, not only but well.
"Please, everyone, tonight's special guest......"
Good and evil bent down and bowed solemnly, focusing on the young man who walked beside her:
"Baili Bailing!"
"Good and evil...... You bastard......"
Fujiwara clenched her teeth, and a little spark jumped out of her clenched fist.
"I can't spare you!"
