(a)

The moment the scenery in front of her changed, Yuyuko of Seogyoji Temple had already figured out what the problem was.

The place where she is now is no longer the main entrance of the Eternal Pavilion. In front of her was a long, narrow hallway, about two meters wide and three meters high, that could accommodate two people walking side by side. The walls, ceilings, and floors are made of silvery metal, smooth and cold. There was not a single window on the left and right walls, so it was impossible to figure out where she was at this time. A long string of lamps hung from the ceiling, emitting a dazzling white glare that stretched from the top of her head to the end of the hallway.

Turning around, Yuyuko slapped her palm against a thick metal wall, and the hand felt as if she was touching the earth, and its thickness was completely impossible to judge.

"There is no way out, it seems that there is no way out......" Yuyuko tapped the metal wall with her knuckles, thinking to herself, "They really took great pains to get me to follow the established route in a straight line. ”

In the depths of her soul, Yuyuko can still perceive the connection to the underworld, which means that she is not far from the entrance to the underworld, in other words, she has not left the place where that entrance is located, that is, Gensokyo.

"But I don't remember when there was a place like this in Gensokyo......"

"Yuyuko-sama......"

Just as Yuyuko was holding her chest in one hand and pinching her chin in the other, squinting her eyes in deep thought, her faithful servant, Soul Yume, pinched the corner of her skirt and, with a little hesitation, called her name. She turned and looked at Youmeng, her only companion at this time.

"What's wrong, Youmeng?"

She gently pinched Yume's cheek, and from Yume's eyes, she saw the confusion about the status quo, and the firm belief that was enough to overpower it. That look was like a sharp blade piercing into the mist, shaking a knife without hiding the cold.

"Let's ...... Anyway, what should I do?"

"Well...... this"

A smile appeared on Yuyuko's face, and she just heard her say:

"Looking at it like this, I can't lead my friends to kill ghosts like Momotaro. It was definitely not just you and me who were suddenly sent away, and the biggest possibility was that the entire team was broken up at that moment. If you can't even find your companions, where can you find ghosts?"

"But at least, we're still together. ”

Speaking of this, Yuyuko took a step forward, gently and irresistibly, hugged Youmeng into her arms, stroked her silver hair, and said with a smile:

"As long as I have my trusty bodyguard, there's nothing to fear. ”

"Ghost ...... Yuyuko-sama ......"

Youmeng was a little resistant at first, a little ashamed, and wanted to push Yuyuko away with a red face, but he couldn't do it, and finally had to half-push and half-hug her master, and give a good show.

She knows that now is not the time to be coquettish and cute, but her master is Yuyuko, so she ...... There's no way around it, isn't it?

After a while, when Yuyuko felt satisfied, her restless heart was truly at peace. She let go of the soul demon dream that was hers, that is, the flesh on her chest, squeezed her face red and her breathing was not smooth, and then changed her previous attitude, which was as light and fluttering as a floating cloud, and said with a straight face:

"At the moment, there is no choice but to follow the path that the enemy has laid out for us. There may be some danger waiting for us ahead, Youmeng, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid. ”

Demon Dream's face didn't change, and he didn't even think about it before he spoke.

There is no need to think, no need to ask, just don't be afraid to ask. Little demon dream, anything that can be cut with a knife is not afraid.

So what if you can't cut it?

"Then find a way to cut it" - this is the original words of Youmeng.

Back to business.

Yuyouzi smiled when she heard this, and shouted, "This is our little demon dream", and kissed the demon dream on the cheek, and the kiss made the demon dream blush again, and the martial artist was shy. Then, she took Youmeng's hand, and the two of them walked down the corridor together.

(b)

The two of them left, about a kilometer. At the speed of Youmeng alone, she didn't even need two minutes from this point, and she passed without breathing. However, with Yuyuko, who was slow to eat and do everything, they walked in this one-kilometer-long corridor for a full fifteen minutes, during which there was talk and laughter, and the master's sexual harassment of the servants.

Then again, there was nothing in such a long hallway except solid metal walls and dazzling light pipes, and one end of the hallway was blocked. What kind of boring and wealthy people built it, and in what way, and what was its purpose? Is it just to give Yuyuko a few more opportunities to "get his hands on" and "get his hands down" on Yume?

This problem, Yuyuko went all the way to the end, and she couldn't figure it out. Now that the end of the corridor was in front of her, she had no time to think about it.

"Here we are. ”

The two stopped. Standing in front of them was a heavy, sealed hatch that looked like it would be found in a submarine or shelter.

"Now, just open this door, right?"

Yuyuko said, going up to turn the turntable of the sealed door, but was stopped by Youmeng.

"Being in the wolf's den, I am afraid that life will change rapidly, my lord, please leave this matter to me. ”

After that, Youmeng took the lead and went to the front, but he didn't rush to open the door. She stood with her face straight, her chest in her hands, her feet spread out, shoulder-level, her hands on her abdomen, and she held her dantian in one breath, just like she was confronting a samurai, staring at the gate. After brewing for a few seconds, his blood was boiling, and Youmeng suddenly raised his arms and tightly grasped the grip of the Louguan Sword on his back, followed by a knife, which was so fast that he couldn't see the robe, and slashed down obliquely.

"Bang!"

So, the door opened.

The sealed hatch, broken in two, slammed heavily on the ground, and the section was as smooth as a mirror. The solid steel plate that is half a meter thick can't be pierced by the cannonball, and Youmeng cuts it off, but it doesn't need a second knife. Is it really as she said, "This sword keeps slashing at things, there is no such thing"?

"Ouch, tsk......"

Behind the hatch, in the exaggeratedly large laboratory that appeared in front of the two, a silver-haired woman in a white coat was standing not far in front of the door, looking at the alloy hatch that had been chopped to the ground, smacking her lips and shaking her head.

"It's rude enough, two guests. ”

She looked at Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple, smiled, and said.

"You...... You ...... thing."

The demon dreamed of her face, and even his eyes widened and he clenched the weapon in his hand.

"No, Youmeng, that's the right thing to say at this time. ”

Yuyuko took two steps forward and stood in front of Youmu again. She smiled and raised her arm, covering the mouth of Youmu with the sleeves of her kimono as wide as butterfly wings, and then said:

"Sure enough, it's you, Bayi Yonglin. ”

Yes, at this moment, the woman who appeared in front of the Netherworld Master and Servant, dressed like a scientist, was none other than the Lord of the Eternal Pavilion, the great sage known as the "Brain of the Moon", Dr. Bayi Yonglin. This guy has long been recorded on the "Enemy Boss List" by Nalan Twilight, but it is really not expected that she will appear in this way.

"Then, if I speak, it should be 'say so'. ”

Yonglin paused for a moment, then continued:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple. ”
