Chapter VII
The first newspaper, with the headline "A human thief who suddenly broke into the shrine?", did not record the disappearance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The second newspaper, with the headline "New Assistant at Hakurei Shrine!", went missing five human beings, two women, an elderly man, a child, and a young man.
The third newspaper, with the front-page headline "Gensokyo Battle Royale!", disappeared sixteen human beings, two women, one child, ten young adults, and a self-organized investigation team of three hunters. One kappa is missing.
In the fourth newspaper, the front page headline was torn up, twenty human beings were missing, twelve young men, and eight hunters who went out hunting alone. Three kappa are missing.
After briefly summarizing the information he had obtained, Ge Yiwei thought as hard as he could. He knew that things had turned out beyond his expectations, and that it was clear that the cause of the incident was his own......
There is no news of any guy fighting off the unknown monster. This is not normal. In the style of Shotimaru, as long as there is a little bit of a monster that has never appeared in Gensokyo, she will definitely investigate and report it at all costs.
Moreover, according to the information she provided, the number of missing people in Yokai Mountain is definitely higher than in the human world. But only three kappa are missing, while humans are already forty-one.
More than thirty-eight Tengu are missing!
I remember seeing information from Rinnosuke Mori, and Tengu society is extremely xenophobic. There are indeed very few records of tengu in the "Bunbun Shimbun", so few that they are abnormal.
So......
Holy shit, these goddamn tengu!
No, I'll have to go to Yokai Mountain again to confirm. It's a waste of time to ride a bicycle, so go to the world to get the battery first, and then go back to the shrine to ask your boss for help.
But Monster Mountain is so big, where should the destination be?
A report in the first newspaper caught Ge Yiwei's attention:
Another thief in the woods?"
The White Wolf Tengu, who lives in a grove on the mountainside south of Mt. Yokai, complains to Fumibun that all the meat he has stored has been stolen overnight.
Could it be that the human thief at the shrine is not stealing alone, but a gang of thieves?
But ah, you're living in the middle of nowhere!

"Can you tell me now?"
"Of course," Sixteen Night Sakuya nodded, "According to the elves, he came from Youkai Mountain and headed for the Eternal Pavilion. β
"Ahh As for the Eternal Pavilion," Reimu put away the spell card and felt a little headache, "If I could, I really don't want to enter the Lost Bamboo Forest......"
"I feel the same way. That's not a good place. β
"But I have to go. Reimu sighed, "Really, a junior, still an ordinary human, what are you doing so desperately!"

The sooner the better, the sooner the better!
Carrying his bicycle, Ge Yiwei desperately ran towards the shrine above.
His prestige is still not enough, although he does have a strong guard in the world, but when he asked the other party to provide a list of missing persons, he was still refused, and this matter can only be done by the boss.
As soon as he ran to the door of the shrine, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Boss, boss, the matter is very big! We must go to Youkai Mountain immediately!"
"Your boss isn't here," Marisa walked out of the shrine with her broomstick, "I can take you there, but you sweat so much, does it smell?"
"There's no time! sweat stinks, doesn't it?" Ge Yiwei shouted in some irritation, then took off his helmet, combat unit, pistol, and all spare batteries, threw his sniper rifle and backpack to the ground, and poured a bucket of water from the well at the door, pouring it over his head.
"Hey, you're ......"
Then, Ge Yiwei quickly took off his clothes, dried them and put them back on at a dizzying speed.
The "five-minute bathing and laundry method" learned in the boot camp was not practiced in vain!
"Okay, there is no sweat smell now!" Ge Yiwei sorted out his equipment, "Bring your bicycle and set off immediately!
"I said you......" Marisa was a little helpless, "where are you going to go to Youkai Mountain?"
"A grove on the mountainside to the south!"

"He's gone to the earth?"
After two hours of dizzying in the Lost Bamboo Forest, Reimu finally arrived at the Eternal Pavilion, but still didn't get any good news.
"Well, that's right. Reisen said, "I look very anxious, and I have left the list of missing rabbits from where I am leaving, and I say that if things go wrong, everyone will be finished together." β
Is this mutation that serious? He wants to scare Reisen and play a joke on her, right? He knows pretty much how strong Gensokyo's monsters are.
Let's find him and go to the world...... I should be going to Xianglin Hall, right?
Damn, scurrying around like a rat!
Some stomped his feet angrily, and Reimu walked out of the Eternal Pavilion in a rage.

"How long will it take?"
"It's almost there, don't you already see it?"
It seemed that the destination of the two was confirmed, and the tengu who followed behind left, which couldn't help but make Ge Yiwei's heart sink: his conclusion got the first evidence.
The current state of the two people can be said to be quite weird. If it's just two people flying in the sky on a broomstick, it's not a big deal in Gensokyo, but what if there is a bicycle hanging between the two people?
"Don't just fly into the woods, see that flat land, land there. β
"No problem. Marisa patted the broom under her buttocks, "But Ge, why are you in such a hurry?
"You haven't fought against that group of monsters, so naturally you won't be in a hurry, if you give them time, your combat effectiveness will definitely not be bad. β
"Well, I'll go with you. β
"Don't come along!" Ge Yiwei took the bike off the broomstick, "It's a reconnaissance activity, and your concealment skills are too poor - no, I should say that there are no skills at all." Honestly waiting here. β
"Huh, how boring it is to just wait. β
"Luckily I brought my bike with me...... Then you can go around the neighborhood, but don't go into the woods, I'll figure it out myself. β
"Oh...... Also, I haven't been to Youkai Mountain for a long time, so I'll go for a walk. β
Looking at Marisa's back bouncing around, Ge Yiwei sighed and pushed his bicycle into the woods.
As soon as he reached the woods, he found a place to hide the car, which was a means of running away on his own, and it would be miserable if it was gone.
Then, the individual combat system, the retinal projection is turned on normally, the passive infrared detector is turned on normally, and the Type 03 electromagnetic sniper rifle has not found a fault and can enter the battle at any time......
The battery of the individual combat unit is actually quite powerful, and it can ensure the normal operation of the unit (data transmission and reception within the network, communication, and other ancillary entertainment functions) for seven days in a non-combat state. However, no matter how powerful the battery is, it can't hold up the two major power consumers of retinal projection and passive infrared detector, so it only takes five hours in a combat state for the battery to squeeze out any power. And a certain witch used projection to read novels, causing Ge Yiwei to have to go to Xianglin Hall every day to recharge.
Although she knew that she had a little left over for her morning maintenance of her guns, and she also knew that she would put things next to her pillow every time she finished reading...... Doesn't that mean she invades my room every night!
It's not the time to think about it. Ge Yiwei shook his head, picked up his gun, and walked towards the forest as stealthily as possible.

He's not here!
Reimu felt as if she was about to go crazy, what are you running around! Where do you mean I'm going to look for you? I can't figure out any of this? Are you an idiot?
When I find him, I have to teach him a good lesson!
Anyway, why the hell are you looking for him like a fool in fantasy country! Since you pushed the mutation to him, shouldn't you drink tea quietly at the shrine?
The big deal is that I clean up and cook my own food, and I don't have novels to read, so I don't care so much? Didn't I still come here like this before! The kind of guy who can't make miso soup is dying!
β¦β¦
It seems that I really can't stand to go back to my previous state......
Forget it! Keep looking for him! However, after finding him, I guess I can still make a lot of money by selling him to the Red Devil Pavilion as an ingredient......
Earn a lot of money...... Lots of money...... Money......
Well, that's it!
Why didn't I think of this trick earlier!
Looking at the expression on the face of the girl opposite changed for a while, and finally let out a sinister laugh of "hehehehehehe", Lin Zhisuke silently prayed to Ge Yiwei from the bottom of his heart: I hope you can survive this hurdle, I still expect you to leave the rest of the operations to me......
"So, where did he go?" After a moment of delusion, Reimu came to his senses and asked Rinnosuke on the other side.
"He's back at the shrine...... Wait a minute for me to finish, you said you left Marisa behind, right? Then he must have arrived at Youkai Mountain by now. β
"He's gone back to Youkai Mountain again?"
"Ah," Rinyuki pushed his glasses forward, "he said that if there is anything, he must go to Yokai Mountain as soon as possible to confirm, and the bicycle is too slow, so he has to go back to the shrine and ask you to help him get him to Yokai Mountain." Before this, he warned everyone not to go out of the world, try not to be alone, and if you must go out, it is best to have more than ten young adults in the team. Originally, there were fewer people who went out because of the disappearance, and everyone didn't dare to go out when he warned them like this. Also, he also wanted a list of missing people, but it seemed that because of the lack of appeal, he didn't count it in the end, and he looked anxious again, so he finally went back. β
"I really don't know why he's in such a hurry......" Reimu felt a pang of unease from the bottom of her heart. These behaviors are too different from the Ge Yiwei she has known in the past half a month, and the person who doesn't seem to care about anything will be in a hurry to be like this?
Perhaps, this aberrations are really serious?
"Thanks, then I'll go to Youkai Mountain first. β
"Good all the way. β
