Chapter 5
"I've never comforted anyone. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info has always been comforting me by others - in the eyes of some people, silence seems to be a sign of a bad mood, and these people tend to be the kind of people who like to meddle in things. So, for me, this step today is going to be a big challenge. If it were just me, without Shen Donghui's encouragement, I would definitely not be able to stand in this place. β
"But that's probably my limit. There was no way to align the key in his hand at the keyhole in the door, because the hand was constantly shaking. What should I say when I get in? Isn't that a feeling of taking advantage of the danger of others? Because my mind is full of these nonsense thoughts, and I have been hesitating at this door. The buddy standing guard on the other side (obviously, Shen Donghui should have already greeted him, otherwise I would have been arrested by him) looked at me with some disdain, as if this hesitation had made him, a bystander, anxious. β
"Or is that contemptuous gaze just because Shen Donghui is using my position as the grandson of my commander to threaten him and turn a blind eye to my suspicious behavior? There have been a lot of these kinds of things since a long time ago. Because I was the grandson of that 'Commander Ouyang', I was treated a lot differently, even though I was not related to my grandfather. It's hard to be a family member of a clean and powerful person...... Just as successful beautiful women are often suspected of climbing up by virtue of their posture rather than ability. β
"What finally got me to act was the tiny sobbing sound coming from inside the house. It made me realize how stupid my thoughts wereβshe's sad! What the hell am I doing here?"
"Sorry, I came in. β
Swallowing his saliva, with a nervous feeling that still couldn't be removed, Ouyang Pingshui finally inserted the key into the keyhole. With the bite of the bumps and the small sound of some mechanical structure, the door was gently pushed open. The first thing Ouyang Pingshui saw was the neatly arranged meals on the table: obviously, the things that should have been eaten when they were steaming hot were now cold.
"Sorry, I don't have an appetite...... Please put the food on the table first. β
The voice, which was supposed to be unusually beautiful, had taken on a hint of hoarseness and haggardness. Obviously, the other party regarded himself as a food deliverer. This situation made Ouyang Pingshui a little panicked, but he decided to continue pretending: "...... That, miss, the food on the table is already cold. Skipping meals is not good for your health......"
"Ah, I'm sorry. It's a waste of your kindness. The figure sitting in the corner squirmed slightly. Because of the existence of shadows, Ouyang Pingshui still couldn't see her face, "However, I really don't have an appetite...... I'd like to be alone for a while......"
"You've been like this for a day......"
"It doesn't matter. Burying her face between her legs, the girl's voice sounded muffled, "My body is different from ordinary people, so it doesn't matter." And...... If you don't eat all the time, you should be able to go over there and meet Mr. Ge...... If I'm in Gensokyo right now, I'll actually be able to go there right away......"
"Please cheer up...... Can I know your name?"
"Dongfeng Valley...... Early seedlings in the east wind valley. β
"Then, Miss Dongfang Valley......"
"You are not allowed to call me that!" Suddenly, Ouyang Pingshui's collar was violently grabbed. It was the first time he had seen the face of his beloved woman at such a close distance, but that face was now distorted by anger, even if the haggard on his face could not be erased at all, "Who allowed you to call me with this name!? Get out of !!!!"
"Dong, Miss Sanae?" Panickedly changing his name, Ouyang Pingshui was once again surprised by the strength of the other party. This situation made his heart shrink again, but the heart-wrenching look on Sanae's face once again gave him the courage that came out of nowhere, "You...... You can't look like this! You have to look forward!"
This sentence Ouyang Pingshui suffocated his face and shouted out before he shouted it, which suddenly made Sanae stunned. Feeling that it seemed to have had an effect, Ouyang Pingshui was about to continue, but when he saw that the face that was already covered with tears and made people feel that the tears had dried up, he suddenly left tears again: "Look forward...... Look forward...... Mr. Ge often said the same. Mr. Ge said that it is in order to look forward that we must destroy such things as time machines...... Woo, woo...... Looking ahead......"
"Sanae-sanae, no, don't cry...... I ......"
"You're right...... Really, yes, thank you. Once again, to Ouyang Pingshui's expectations, Sanmiao's tears came and went quickly. Before he could say anything, the latter had already wiped away his tears and gave a military salute without notching, "I'm going to look forward, look forward...... Do something, something I can still do. β
"Miss Sanae, what are you going to do?" Completely confused by the girl in front of him, Ouyang Pingshui took two steps back, and then walked back to his original position, "I, I'm really worried about you." β
"Thank you. Can you tell me what's your name?"
This is the smile that Ouyang Pingshui has dreamed of. It's not just a ceremonial response, but a genuine outpouring of some positive emotionβin this case, gratitude. He was a little stunned for a moment, and it even took two seconds for him to remember to answer: "Ah, I ...... Ouyang Pingshui. equal to the level of the water, the surface of the water. β
"Mr. Ouyang Pingshui? Really, thank you. Putting down the hand between her eyebrows, Sanae nodded, her smile still the same, "May I ask another question......?" Where is she now? I want to talk to her about something. β
However, obviously, Ouyang Pingshui didn't realize what was behind this smile that made him feel like a spring breeze.

"Go to hell and repent, executioner!"
The roar from the front made Mianyue Yiji wake up from her contemplation. She had just received word that the Nazis seemed to have gotten the word that she was here, and that a huge encirclement was being deployed in an aggressive attempt to encircle her within all of the teleportation nodes that were close to herβthat is, to form an encirclement that was about five kilometers away. This idea sounds ridiculous, but what is even more absurd is that they seem to be on the verge of accomplishing this goal.
It can only be assumed that the Nazi infiltration of the location of the time machine was a decoy. They had already arranged all the troop rations, and they were waiting to realize the "encirclement war" that they thought was impossible under the unique transportation system of the moon capital.
Fortunately, however, there are still many positions that have not been breached, and those positions are eagerly launching a counter-attack. The Yuedu and Chinese armies remained fairly active, so it was clear that the plan was doomed to failure. Just as Mianyue Yiji's thoughts arrived here, that roar suddenly appeared. Then, with only a flicker of embarrassment, she barely flashed the silver light that stabbed at her: the attacker clearly wanted her life.
ββ¦β¦ Nonsense!"
Frowning, he flicked his right hand, and his usual scalpel slipped from his sleeve to the palm of his hand. The ensuing confrontation ended with the sound of metal clashing: the enemy attack was fierce and ferocious, but somewhat unruly. Finally, after mastering the rhythm a little, she forced the hostile figure back and pulled away a certain distance, she frowned and looked at the man who wanted her life: "...... Wind wishes. I should have expected you to attack sooner. β
"It's useless to say more!" At this time, the wind of Moriya Shrine - although by now, Sanae of Dongfengya may not be able to use this title - holding a katana in both hands, threw the "sleeve" that should have existed on his forearm to the unknown place, and released a fierce murderous aura towards Mianyue Yihime with his bare arms, "Go die!"
"Just because of Ge Yiwei, that bastard, I refuse!"
The sound of metal clashing was heard again. Although the other party obviously did not systematically learn knife techniques, and was a little messy because of impatience, the gap in equipment still made up for these shortcomings to a certain extent. After the recent sound of a somewhat pitch-shifting collision, Mianyue Yiji realized that the scalpel blade in her hand had shattered. Replacing the new blade with just a flick of her hand, she stabilized her mind and defused Sanae's attack little by little.
"If you didn't use this knife, you would have won a long time ago. β
"You killed Mr. Ge with this knife," because just now Mianyue Yiji hit the chest with a fist and half-knelt on the ground, Sanae closed one eye because of pain, "I'm going to use this knife to kill you!"
"It's pedantic. When did revenge become something so rotten that it stinks?"
After gradually mastering the rhythm of the battle, Mizuki Ihime was already convinced that she could put an end to the attack at any time. The reason why she didn't do this was because she wanted to let Sanae vent her anger as much as possible. However, the battle didn't evolve as she had envisioned, and a shot hit Sanae's left thigh, and although it didn't go through, it still left her with a serious flaw, and Mizuki Yiki's knife stopped in front of her vein.
That's not what Mizuki meant by Mizuki Yihime. If it hadn't been for that flaw, the blow would have been intercepted. In other words, the battle ended because someone was "forced".
Accidental or deliberate?
"What are you doing, Sanae, why did you steal my knife?"
It was Reimu who put the gun away as he walked this way. Apparently, she was the one who had just shot. There was no emotion in her tone, she walked up to Sanae and snatched the knife: "Also, don't say anything about revenge." Xiaowei is not dead, you say this, it's like Xiaowei is dead. β
This sentence stunned the two people present at the same time, and they couldn't say a word. After a while, Sanae's expression was a little excited: "Reimu, you...... Do you have any news from Mr. Ge!?"
"Of course not. But Xiaowei will definitely not die at the hands of such people. β
This sentence shattered Sanae again, and perhaps there was also - Mianyue Yiji must admit - a glimmer of hope in the heart of the captain of the Yuedu Garrison. Gritting her teeth to death, Sanae reached out again and snatched the knife: "Then give me the knife!" For you, Mr. Ge is not dead, that knife is nothing, but for me, Mr. Ge was killed by this knife! I want to use it for revenge!"
"You don't always have to be so willful, Sanae! This will cause trouble for Xiaowei!" by the way," as if he had discovered a new continent, Reimu's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up, "I just want to prevent you from causing trouble for Xiaowei, so I have to keep this knife temporarily!"
"You ......!!!!!!!!" was so angry by this sentence that tears swirled in her eyes again, Sanae's face turned red, and finally stomped her foot hard, "Hakurei Reimu!!!!! you're a bastard!!!!!"
Sanae's back soon faded away. Because she felt that nothing was about her, Mianyue Yiji also left quickly, leaving Reimu alone in place, holding the knife.
"Xiaowei is not dead...... I'm keeping this knife because I don't want Sanae to get into trouble...... By the way, what about the box of 'fake ashes'? I have to come over too, otherwise how will I tell Xiaowei such funny things in the future......"

Zhu Erliu was speechless about the order just given by his superiors. Looking at the connector in the Moon Rabbit army with a rogue look, his shoulders fell widely: "So, Lord Shikieihime is counting on letting me go back to Earth to report right now? Rely on me alone? Even for ghosts, there is a light second distance between the Earth and the Moon Capital." β
"No, the Lord's order is to return to the Underworld at once. β
"Oh my God...... Isn't that even farther away?" Zhu Erliu rolled his eyes as if he was looking at a fool, not knowing what to say at all, "Even if I'm already dead and don't need to breathe oxygen at all, but you let me let a ghost float in space to the underworld, so I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?"
ββ¦β¦ So shut up and follow me. There are passages here. β
This connector doesn't seem to be very funny, a little rigid. And her face was now saying, "Hurry up and get me out of this trouble." Following behind the pair of rabbit ears, Zhu Erliu began to be a little worried about the three girls he released from the hibernation warehouse. How so...... Why did those three people lie in that kind of place......
It's really puzzling. You may be able to take a good look at the information you brought from that place, and with the permission, the intelligence network of the underworld can also use some of it.
"Ultra-long-range teleportation device. Just as he was thinking about it, the Moon Rabbit stopped in his tracks. What appeared in front of the two "people" was a ...... Not too large a machine, "It can only be used by ghosts and deaths." You can go back through this device. β
"No, the ghost is small in quality and easy to teleport, so I can understand that it can be used, but why can the Grim Reaper also use it?"
What answered Zhu Erliu was a white eye. Seemingly thinking that his task had been completed, Yuetu turned around and returned to his post without saying a word, leaving Zhu Erliu alone a little stunned: "...... Hey, wait, what's going to do with this thing?"
"I don't know. β
"You too...... I don't want to be 'scattered' in the real sense......" Looking at the guy in front of him with a little headache, Zhu Erliu shook his head, "Hey, forget it, isn't my life just a variety of gambling......"
It was evident that a dull gunshot and a few whimperes in the distance caught his attention as he was talking to himself. Looking back but only finding a burst of darkness, Zhu Erliu shook his head again and sighed: "Oh, yes, it's really...... It's really an illusion...... Let's go about our own business with peace of mind. β

"At such a time, the deputy squad leader who is added to the front-line troops?" After checking the information of the man in front of him, the soldier guarding the sentry post asked suspiciously, "Isn't the deputy squad mentioned from the veterans in the squad after ordinary soldiers?
"I'm a veteran, comrade. Because of some nervous breakdowns, I didn't go to it before, but now I just come over. Mixed with some wry smiles, the man replied, "Since I went back to the army, I want to go back to the old army to stay, so even if I beg the leader." As soon as the leader's heart softened, he agreed to me. β
"But the place you're going to is dangerous enough. Suddenly, another soldier, who was supposed to be resting, came up, "The Nazis seem to want to surround that platoon, and the people who are said to be the big men of the moon capital are there." Now, although there may not be much movement inside, the outside has become a pot of porridge. β
"Thank you for your kindness, but in the end, the old army ......"
"Okay, good luck, comrade. Suddenly, a cucumber was taken out of nowhere, and the soldier broke it in half and threw it over, "Keep it for the road to eat." This trip is really dangerous, but don't end up with fresh fruits and vegetables. β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you!"
Faced with this sincere but really unmastered expression of kindness, Ge Chengzhi thanked him and continued on the road.
