“…… It's finally here. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at the flickering red dot on the holographic screen, Yakumo Purple whispered to herself. Although her act of not appearing on the battlefield as an important figure and one of the most advanced combat forces of the Township Defense Department has been criticized by many members of the Township Defense Department (mainly humans led by Kaneda Kazumitsu), but in this Gensokyo, which still uses the law of the jungle as the basic criterion, no one can take Yakumo Purple as a result. Nodding, she got up from the couch and straightened her blonde hair, "The next move could be dangerous...... But I've done a lot of dangerous things before, and one more thing isn't a big deal......"

"Purple?" At this moment, a snow-white hand came to her shoulder with a slight coolness. Looking back at Yuyuko, who was full of worry in her eyes, Yakumo Zi gave the other party a smile back: "Don't worry, it's not too dangerous." However, since Gensokyo has become like this, it would be too much to say without a little compensation, wouldn't it?"

The hand that "Purple ......" rested on his shoulder still did not let go. Seeing this move of the other party, Yakumo Zi showed a slightly helpless expression on his face. Turning around, she gave a hug to the friend who had been with her for countless years, she closed her eyes and blew softly in the other person's ear: "It's really not too dangerous, trust me, I'll be back soon...... Shouldn't we be happy that we have new information to get our hands on? We are getting closer and closer to the truth. ”

“…… Well. Gotta come back. What has been said must not be reversed. ”

Suddenly, Yakumo's lips felt a chill. When she opened her eyes immediately, she found that the other party's lips had left where they had just been. Facing Yakumo Purple with this look, Yuyuko smiled: "Just now this is a curse personally issued by the ghost lady of the Xixing Temple family, if you can't come back safely, you will suffer a very serious punishment, I really didn't lie to you, it is a very serious punishment...... Ahh......h

"No matter what the punishment is, since it was personally ordered by the ghost lady of the Xixing Temple family, it must be a very serious punishment," the body was separated from the other party, and Yakumo Zi looked into Yuyuko's eyes, "So I will definitely come back." ”

When did you start your search for the vague truth? It's been a long time, and even the reason is a little vague now. Looking back, this is really not a very easy path, from a little-known little monster to the current monster sage, from working alone to finally harvesting precious and loyal love, many people have changed because of themselves, and they have changed because of many people. Now, the only thing I can know is that I will still walk along this path with many people in the future - in order to let the truth really come out to the world, in order to protect the Gensokyo I love, in order to ...... For all of this.

"After you come back, you must hibernate for a while, it's really a little tiring during this time......" A gap appeared behind him, Yakumo Zi said with a smile, "Then, Yuyuko, goodbye." ”

"Come back early. Gracefully bowing to Yakumo, Yuyuko replied.

"The landing guidance program is received, and the airframe control authority is opened. Calmly repeating the words he saw on the screen, Linnosuke finally let go of the rudder that had been tightly holding the rudder that had been soaked in some sweat, and let the Z-50 slowly fall under the control of the bootloader, he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and began to ask Ge Yiwei with the internal microphone, "Ge Yiwei, can you really be sure that inexplicable voice is credible?"

"Does this need to be said? Of course it is—" Ge Yiwei shook his head as he untied the kettle at his waist and took a sip of water, "No." ”

"What?!" Rinnosuke hurriedly lifted his glasses that were about to slip off the bridge of his nose, "If you can't be sure of it, you can easily trust the other party's guidance, what if it's an enemy's conspiracy?"

"Then you tell me what to do?" In the internal microphone, Ge Yiwei's voice was full of helplessness, "Miss Yakumo's guess is not wrong at all, the terrain of the old hell has indeed changed due to the earthquake, in fact, we have already lost our way at that time, right? Even if we don't accept guidance, we will only be trapped in an endless swarm of insects." Comparatively speaking, believing in guidance is a little more likely to make the mission successful - I thought that this level of thinking could be done on your own, do you have to let me say it? I'm disappointed in you, Mori Kinnosuke. ”

“…… Sorry, my mind seems to be a little dull. Shaking his head, Rinnosuke's voice looked a little depressed, "Maybe it's because the recent research is too tiring...... Modern science and magic want to come together......"

"I've said it many times, that's our grandson's grandson's grandson, and now it's completely impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible and impossible to achieve complete union. Ge Yiwei shook his head, "Moreover, if there is no evidence at all, it is not true, I also decided to believe his ...... after the other party reported his family."

"Oh, remember the voice calling itself ...... Lin: Right?"

"Ah, that's right, it's Lin. He has a lot to do with the purpose of my trip. But if you want to hear the story, you should wait until the end of the matter at hand, which is so complicated that even I can't believe that I have experienced so much in such a short period of time. Speaking of this, Ge Yiwei's words carried some embarrassment, "I can't think of it, I really can't think of it." Maybe it's really a dream, and there's no Gensokyo at all, and there's no magic...... yes, it's nice not to have magic, so you don't have to have a headache to combine the two......"

Was that the hallucination he had when he first entered the Old Hell also the same one? that mechanical voice...... But what's the deal with administrator privileges? At first, I ignored it because the battle wasn't going well......

"After all, you've been having a headache yourself, and you're qualified to talk about me?" Rinnosuke seemed to have a hint of sarcasm in his words, "Also, if it's a dream, doesn't it feel like everything around you is too real?"

"Truth and falsehood, who can tell the difference between this thing? No, you can't go any deeper, and if you go deeper, it's a head-scratching philosophical level. Waving his hand and seeing the height number on the screen, Ge Yiwei opened the hatch of the weapon control bay and jumped out of the Z-50, which had been smoothly parked on the ground. Stamping his foot, he suddenly remembered something important, and immediately stretched out his hand to the air in front of him. In the next second, Yakumo Zi walked out of a gap next to him that was a little far from the ground, and was just supported by him. Seeing that the other party stabilized his figure, Ge Yiwei let go of his hand and scratched his face: "I guessed right." But there's still a question, Miss Yakumo, why can't you use the gap to check a safe place in advance and come over?"

"Very technical question, oh Xiaowei. Looking around, Yakumo smiled, "So it seems a little wrong for you to answer vaguely like this, doesn't it? I'll explain it to you when I get back to the ground." But you have to be mentally prepared, because this thing may not be relativistic......"

"Do you want me to back down just by this extent? With his hands on his hips, Ge Yiwei shook his head with a smile, "Strong receptivity is one of my few strengths...... But what a risky move, just recklessly teleporting over. Not to mention the pact between you and the youkai of the old hell that my boss once told me, even if my position and the magic communicator are already at a relatively close distance, wouldn't it be very bad if I suddenly came over when I was in some dangerous situation, or if there was a wall next to me and you teleported over?"

"I didn't expect you to have guessed how that thing works, and I'm really impressed. Pretending to cover his mouth in surprise, Yakumo Zi still said in a teasing tone, "If Xiaowei is really in any dangerous situation, then I can come over to help." As for the latter...... Everything is risky, and when the risk is worth taking, it is natural to take a little risk. I didn't risk opening the gap into the wall when I first lost contact with the old hell, did I?"

"Well, there's some truth to that. "Boss, they should have already arrived at the Earth Spirit Palace, right?" Thinking like this, Ge Yiwei nodded in agreement, "But there is one thing I want to explain, the working principle of that thing was told to me by Mori Kinnosuke over there......"

"Don't pull things on my head. Supposedly, after Marisa is delivered, my mission should be over. Getting out of the cockpit, Rinnosuke helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Hello, Murasaki-sama." ”

"Well, hello, Mr. Rinnosuke. Nodding to the other party, Yakumo Zi once again shifted his gaze to Ge Yiwei, "Since you asked me a question, I have to ask you a question too." How did you know that I was going to be around you? and it seems a little too accurate, Xiaowei. ”

"This ......" scratched his head, Ge Yiwei thought back to the situation just now, "I just saw the white mist at that moment...... It should be a delusion, so don't mention it. ”

"White mist?" Suddenly, a wilting voice rang out all around, "Is that why you're called a non-observer...... But it's also a little too strange, the white fog. ”

"If you can extrapolate it according to common sense......" Looking around, finding that there were only a few youkai walking around and not knowing what they were busy with, but they couldn't see anyone talking, Ge Yiwei let his tone become cautious, "You are...... Marshal Lin?"

“…… It's the same as when we first met. Suddenly throwing down such a headless sentence, the other party paused and continued, "Just call me Mr. Lin." Now, I'm just the ghost of the Commander-in-Chief Lin of the Four Fields left in this world. As for that careerist**, he died in Mongolia a long time ago because of the crash. ”

"The ghost's words," Yakumo Murasaki next to him suddenly said, "It's to survive in the underworld." ”

"It doesn't make sense to me, because I'm not technically a ghost. Of course, it's not a monster, it's not a goblin, it's not a celestial, it's not an immortal, it's not a human. There was a hint of helplessness in Lin's voice, "It's just an artificial intelligence...... A lot of things happened during this period, and it would be a long time to talk about it. ”

"We weren't meant to know those stories. We just wanted to ......" glanced at Yakumo Purple and found that the other party gave him a positive look, Ge Yiwei continued, "I just want to get the truth." I hope the old man didn't play tricks on me. ”

"Of course Auston didn't play you tricks. I can explain the truth you want to know, but I only know part of what this young lady wants to know. Speaking of this, Lin's tone suddenly became a little vicissitudes, "But young man, be mentally prepared, sometimes, know the truth...... Probably not a good thing. ”

“…… I'll do my best. ”

Strange, what was the uneasiness that had just arisen? a ...... Intuition?

"Come to the Earth Spirit Temple, and I'll try to give you the answers you want. Oh, just so your companions have arrived......"

Lin's voice faded away. The two glanced at each other, one person, one demon, half human and half demon nodded at the same time, and then took their own steps forward. Deliberately letting Yakumo Zi go to the front, Ge Yiwei quietly said to Linnosuke: "For the sake of friends, Mori Kinnosuke, I suggest that you still don't get involved, things may turn ......"

"It's just pure curiosity. Let me take a look. When I don't exist, it's okay. ”

“…… Alas, if that's your choice. "The closer I got to the Earth Spirit Temple, the more intense the uneasiness in my heart became. Hearing Rinnosuke's answer, Ge Yiwei sighed, "Curiosity...... But it's going to kill the cat. ”

"It was a beautiful fight. Holding the opponent's body with both hands, Xingxiong Yongyi said to Fatumai in front of him, "But there is always an end to the battle. I'm sorry, but this time, it's you who lost. ”

"Agreed. Fatumah nodded briskly, "It's a completely fair fight, you and I use our own strength to fight, and in the end, because of my own lack of strength, I lost." Are you going to kill me now?"

"This ......" Hearing the other party suddenly say this sentence abruptly, Xingxiong Yongyi hesitated a little. Then, she let go of her hand, "It's a pity that if I kill you, I don't have a good opponent...... So I'm not going to kill you. However, if you want to continue to fight the old hell with those bugs, ...... next time."

"Understood. So, may I ask a question?"

"Question?" After a moment's pause, Xingxiong Yongyi nodded, "You ask...... If I can answer you. ”

"Tell me, then," said Fatuma, looking up suddenly, staring at the eyes of the star bear with his own eyes, "why do you have to insist on a one-on-one duel, and show an aversion to deceit, even at the cost of your own life?" ”

"Why? That's a weird question. Scratching his head, Xingxiong Yongyi looked up at the sky of the old hell, "Maybe it's because ...... After all, you don't need to like it for a reason. ”

"Confused. Like is ...... There's no reason for it?"

"Yes, yes. If you have to give a reason...... When something happens, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I just hate it. On the other hand, when something happens, I feel comfortable and I just like it. Does that count?"

I feel uncomfortable when something happens...... Feeling tightness in the chest...... It's nasty.

Then the other way around, it's like...... Is it, love?

When I hear the general praise others, I feel stuffy in my chest, and when I hear the general's praise, I feel very comfortable;

I felt stuffy in my chest when I saw the general frowning, and I felt very comfortable when I saw the general smiling;

When I heard that I couldn't be with the general, I felt stuffy in my chest, but when I was with the general, I felt very comfortable......

There's no reason to like it. There is no need for reason to act according to feelings. I see. That's true. Indeed, not everything needs a reason, it's like-

It's the same thing that I fell in love with the general.

But the warriors of the empire do not need feelings. So I can't be a warrior of the Empire. The general will be disappointed.

"Thank you. Raising his head, trying to show the only smile in his life to Xingxiong Yongyi, Fatuma said, "Thank you." ”

Then, she gritted her poisonous tooth, kept her smile, and slowly fell to the ground.
