Today is the first anniversary of this book! Dear book friends, cheer for this book!

"Is it here?"

Looking at the iron door in front of him, Jinyue pushed it open without hesitation.

With a "squeak" of the doorshaft turning, the iron door slowly opened, revealing the dark tunnel behind the door, winding and spiraling, leading deep underground.

After looking around and making sure that his whereabouts had not been discovered, he walked into the tunnel and closed the door with his hand. The tunnel immediately became dark, and only the oil lamps hanging from the walls on either side flickered with flickering firelight, barely illuminating the road ahead. Under this faint light, the moon walked down the tunnel step by step, and slowly walked towards the deepest part of the darkness.

At the end of the stone staircase was another tunnel, pitch black. However, it is much wider than the staircase and has a lot more oil lamps, so the visibility is higher even though it is deep underground.

Jinyue lowered his head and looked at the stone bricks under his feet, the cutting is very particular, and the laying is also careful, it seems that this place is definitely not used as a storage room casually.

The front of the tunnel was still pitch black, and as far as the eye could see, nothing seemed to be the case except for the endless walls and oil lamps on both sides.

However, Jinyue clearly felt that in this seemingly empty corridor, there was a hidden murderous opportunity.

On the walls on both sides of the tunnel, there are many magic arrays that cannot be seen with the naked eye. These magic circles have been set up with corresponding triggers, and they will be activated as soon as they walk in front of them. Although it can be roughly judged from the magic power sealed in the magic array alone, the power of a single magic array is not large, but if multiple are triggered at the same time, the power should not be underestimated.

Of course, this seems to be an airtight defense, and it is not completely incapacitated. If you are flexible enough and patient, you can spend hours drilling through the blind spots between the detection range of the magic array, or simply use more powerful magic to detonate them all in one go, in short, if you really want to solve it, you can say that there are as many ways as you want.

However, at this time, Jinyue didn't want to be violent, and he didn't have the mood to step on the palm-sized blind spot step by step. She has her own plans.

Closed his eyes, carefully felt the magical breath in the air, and then, took a gentle breath, adjusted his breathing, opened his eyes, took a step, and walked leisurely forward in the near moon.

The moment Jinyue's body entered the sensing range of the magic array, the magic array on the wall immediately began to radiate dazzling light, flickering, as if it might explode at any time.

However, when the light flashed, nothing happened, but it dimmed, and the magic array gradually calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

"The principle of triggering the trap here is similar to pulling a rope at both ends of a wall, and if the rope is broken, the trigger will be triggered. The solution is also very simple: just let the rope pass through the middle of the body. When the body comes into contact with the sensory mechanism, I use my own demonic power to simulate the fluctuation characteristics of the magic emitted by the mechanism, and connect the magic circuit cut off by my body to prevent the magic array from activating. Although it sounds like a fantasy, this almost miraculous technique is only a little bit of a trick to me, and it is not something particularly worth showing off. ”

Muttering to himself, Near Moon continued to walk forward

After becoming more and more familiar with the nature of magic fluctuations, Jinyue's pace gradually accelerated, and the magic array around him flashed colorful light from time to time, which played the role of a street lamp, saving Jinyue a lot of trouble.

"Well, these magic arrays are very carefully arranged, and the power control is just right, which can stop the intruders from continuing to advance without destroying the tunnel," Jinyue said to himself while looking around at the flickering magic arrays on the walls around him, "It's not so much about destroying the intruders, it's more like an alarm, huh?"

Suddenly, Kinzuki stopped.

More precisely, the right foot, which was about to fall to the ground, was suspended in mid-air.

“”

Jinyue kept his right foot hanging in the air and slowly lowered his head.

I saw that on the ground at the feet of the near moon, a huge dark gray magic array faintly appeared, the area of this magic array was several times larger than those on the wall, almost completely covering the corridor, and it was impossible to bypass it without vacating it.

Jinyue looked at the magic array and frowned slightly.

In most cases, the power of the magic array is directly proportional to its area, and the larger the magic array, the more magic power it can contain, and the stronger the power that erupts. For example, the size of the magic array under the feet of the current moon in the near moon, once it is triggered, let alone the person who stepped on it, even this solid floor will probably be blown through a big hole.

What's even better is that the trigger design of this magic circle is different from the others, and it will only be activated when someone actually steps on it. This design naturally sacrifices the range of effect, but because it does not emit excess magic fluctuations, the concealment is greatly enhanced, and it is almost impossible to detect it when it is mixed with these countless magic sensors, and it is only at the moment when he is about to step on it that he notices the strange power under his feet.

"I almost got hit this one, and it took a lot of thought. ”

Jinyue looked at the magic array, pursed his lips slightly, smiled approvingly, and dropped his right foot and stepped on it violently.

After a "crackling" sound and a faint popping sound, the huge magic array suddenly disappeared.

"It's a pity, as long as you let this magic array forget about its role for a while, it can be easily passed, although others can't do it, but it's easy for me. ”

"I didn't expect Patchouli to do such a tight defense, thanks to her"

Walking to the end of the corridor and looking at the iron door in front of him, Jinyue smiled slightly, "It seems that this is here." ”

Pushing open the iron door, there was not much in the room, only a crystal fragment placed in the center of the magic array.

"The first piece of shard has been found. I really want to thank Pache for helping me keep it for so many years. ”

As the fingertips of the near moon touched the shard, the shard slowly melted into the near moon's arm as if it was attracted.

"Purple, aren't you coming out yet?"

As the crystal shard melted into his arm, Near Moon asked towards the empty corner.

"I didn't expect you to find out. ”

There was a cracking sound, and a crack appeared out of thin air in the room that had been empty before, and with the sound, Yakumo Zi poked out of the gap with her upper body.

"How could I not have found out. ”

Looking at the smiling Yakumo Purple, Konzuki pouted, "If I can't even find out about this, I don't know how many times I was attacked by you at night when I lived in the Lost House before." ”

"Na Na Na ~ Don't care about these little things~"

Waving his hand, Yakumo asked with a wicked smile, "What is it like to be a boy when you're in the outside world?"

“…………”

Jinyue's little face suddenly turned red.

"Did you break the seal?"

Looking at the flushed face for nearly a month, Yakumo Zi diverted the topic and asked.

"Not yet. ”

Jinyue shook his head, "This seal is too powerful, unless I get back all the fragments of the soul crystals that were scattered, I won't be able to break through." Today is precisely because of the three breaking days and the full moon, I can break through the seal, but I have already retrieved a fragment, and as long as the fragment appears near me in the future, I will break through the seal again for a short time. ”

"Don't talk about that, tell me what happened in the more than 300 years I've been sealed. ”

"By the way, Reimu's child is the reincarnation of the first generation, right?" asked Jinyue suddenly.

"Yes. Yakumo nodded and replied.

"That's a bit of a problem......"

Rubbing his head, Jinyue said in distress, "Do we have to go to the Moon Capital to make a big fuss again?"

"I'm afraid so. Yakumo said in a deep voice.

"Hey...... Last time, I blew up the palace of the Moon Capital, stole the potion of Bayi Yonglin, dismantled the defense system of the Moon Capital, and slapped the Moon Night Zun when I left, and I will definitely be "entertained" by the Moonlit Night Respect Point when I go again this time. ”

"Bayi Yonglin told me a long time ago that she wanted to blow your head......"

"It's really troublesome, it's going to be sixty years again, and the Outer Demon Evil Dao itself is not easy to deal with, plus the fact that Reimu is the first generation reincarnation...... Headache to death. ”

"If you have a headache, I'll help you relax~"

Yakumo Zi suddenly leaned over, and before Jinyue could react, he was hugged into Yakumo Zi's arms.

"Whoa!

"Don't be shy in the near months~"

———————— Teenage Girl (?) Playing——————

"Alright, Purple, it's almost time, I'm going back. ”

"Hmm. ”

Nodding, Yakumo returned to the gap and disappeared into the room.

Turning to the hallway, Kimyue met the three fairy maids from before.

"Still here?"

Looking around the corner at the three fairy maids, Near Moon throws a flashbang out.

"Hey, what is this?"

"I don't know, it looks weird, so why don't you give it to Miss Sakiya. ”

"Well, let's go. Maybe Miss Sakiya will reward us......"

"Delicious confectionery~"

"Delicious black tea~"

After the three fairy maids happily left with flashbangs, Konzuki slipped back to the room from around the corner.

The morning sun has risen, and in the Red Devil Pavilion, where nothing seems to have happened, only the missing fragments in the basement and the destroyed magic array indicate that from today onwards, one of the former founders of Gensokyo, Hui Yi Jinyue, has returned.
