Chapter 12: The Wonderfully Gentle Grim Reaper
"Well, the Grim Reaper or something is obviously joking," she pouted suddenly, "Poor Komachi-samachi is just a diligent builder who helped Eihime-sama achieve her bodhisattva status...... Ahem, in fact, more importantly, the confused little girl suddenly thought about it, so she chose to leave the underworld. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Leaving the underworld, which meant that there was no more Nakamura in the world, I suddenly felt my fingers tremble, and then my forearm, which gradually spread to my chest.
"Huh? Miss Alice, are you crying? β
ββ¦β¦β
What did she figure out? The grief of being betrayed or the monster who understands the trick behind it? Maybe it's the latter, otherwise Miu should have treated me and the murderers as if he were in league with him when he told Komachi, which means that I didn't play a role at the end of Miao's life that would be unbearable for me.
"I also know what is going on from the girl, isn't it a girl who has known each other for less than an hour? As a resident of Gensokyo, you've seen a lot of outsiders dying in the wild from time to time, right? β
Since Miu didn't talk about betrayal to Miss Komachi, I probably don't have to feel unduly sorry for Miao's departure.
"I know I'm not tough enough," how can a puppeteer, who has always been weak, talk about toughness, "and sometimes even extremely vulnerable." β
But I subconsciously thought that Komachi-samachi's words were right, why did I become so vulnerable after coming to the outside world because I met a cheerful girl that I was determined to protect?
"No, it's not that my feelings have become intense," I shook my head and said after a flash of inspiration, "but I realized that there will always be regrets and even regrets in this world, many problems even the gods can only sit back and watch helplessly, many sorrows look back and seem to be avoidable but in fact the inevitable sadness will only be more, as long as you participate in the evolution and life of this world, you must calmly face everything that may happen, I finally understand a little Patsy's concept of survival, she is much wiser than me, This made me feel envious and repented of my own naivety. If I want to mature, I can't shirk my responsibilities, whether it's all the time or temporarily, Ah Miao is my friend, I have the responsibility and obligation to do something for her, and I won't deceive myself into denying my obligations to her just because I haven't known her for a long time. β
"Poor Miss Alice...... "Miss Komachi, the double ponytail of death, stood up with a huge scythe, "suddenly overripe, but this is not a good sign, you should know that there is an idiom in Chinese called overkill." β
"I know what I'm doing, thank you for the reminder and your attention."
"Don't thank me, it's just an order from Lord Yinghime, huh...... I can't talk about the favors I once owed Miss Shenqi, but it's still quite debatable whether you are the object of this favor......" She grumbled inexplicably, "Miss Alice looks okay?" I have to go back to my life, do you want to go back to Gensokyo with me? It's easy to take the road by the way. β
What I noticed was a strange name, Shenqi? Does this person have anything to do with me? Why might I be the object of this person's favor? But Miss Komachi hurriedly brought it over, obviously not planning to tell me anything.
"Does Miss Yinghime know what's going on?"
"Of course, I said that it was Ehime-sama who sent me, and besides, observing the heart of the misty soul is Eithime-sama's business."
"You don't seem to care about outsiders? Didn't you ask about a blatant murder, just came to me? β
"How can I really say that, if Lord Yinghime is indifferent to the world, how can he sacrifice himself to combine his cultivation with the underworld to build a new hell, and plant a little seed of hope for the reincarnated people in the world, which is the greatness of Lord Yinghime's vision reflected in the practice! How the living world chooses the path of life, and how can Lord Yinghime be willing to interfere, and besides, she can't take care of it alone. Miss Alice, you know too little and too one-sided, and a little understanding of the underworld is only superficial, so don't talk about Lord Yinghime. β
"I'm sorry," I bowed my head and apologized, thinking if I wanted to question whether Miss Yuyuko's underworld and Miss Ehime's underworld were not the same thing. But Komachi's imposing face made me expect that if I asked such a question, she would be relentlessly lectured, "I do know too little." Why did Miss Koimachi let Miss Komachi come to the outside world and come to me? I...... She doesn't owe me a favor, so there's no reason to take care of me. β
"Aha...... Maybe it's also to return Miss Shenqi's love, right? Don't ask too much, and I won't tell you if you ask, but when you go through a lot of suffering and cross the boundless sea of suffering, you will naturally know what you should know. β
I nodded ignorantly, "Is that so?" I see, so I won't go back until the practical problems and obligations I encountered are solved and completed, and Miss Komachi will please leave if she wants to go back to her life, but I will be more grateful if you can give me some help. β
"Oh?" She squinted her eyes again, and then grinned, "People are in the cultivation of people everywhere and all the time in the world, maybe your calamity is among them, it seems that you will not give up pursuing something, and I have no reason to say anything about your cultivation path." Let's separate here.,I'm leaving.,I forgot to tell you just now.,This is the inside of the park less than a mile away from the murder scene that was blocked by the police.,Explore the map or something, and I can't help you with anything.,Please take care of yourself.,I'll be very sorry if I see you in the underworld...... Oh yes! Miss Alice won't go to the underworld even if she dies! β
I laughed and said, "Thank you, Komachi, see you later." β
She said that there was nothing she could do to help me, but she still sent a mental imprint containing complex information, most of which was about what she had seen and experienced when she had been working in the outside world from time to time over the years, which was the most valuable asset to me at present.
He stood up and walked to the sparkling lake in the distance, and when he looked back, there was no sign of the big-breasted Miss Death.
I didn't ask her who the mysterious master who rescued Wei Lingxiang was, if Miss Komachi met the mysterious person when she came, she wouldn't hide it from me, and if she met but didn't mention it to me, then there must be her considerations, and she wouldn't tell me if she asked, so in this strange world, all the questions can only be explored and answered by myself.
So, do you want to continue to find out who should be killed for the sake of Ah Miao? This is a problem that I can't set a clear goal for myself for the time being, and although it is difficult to distinguish the truth from what Reika Konoe said, I think that the truth should be the majority, but the more fundamental problem is that there are definitely a lot of misleading remarks in her, and I can't set a target for myself by listening to her side of the story.
Reika Konoe, the name and a resentful face are repeatedly flipped in my mind, the fashion of heavy makeup, the hatefulness of wild arrogance, the introverted and leaky yin owl, the madness of risking her life, the impression of the underage black/Michi-sama with a beautiful face changes with this as a clue, and I am amazed that today's young people in the outside world have such a complex and multifaceted heart, but, whether she herself is primarily responsible or not, I don't intend to let her go - even if she has a mysterious master to protect in the secret - Of course, on the other hand, if I have the ability to make a choice, it is obviously impossible for Reika Konoe, who has always been arrogant, to plan to let me go.
Even so, she is not an important character that I need to pay attention to at all times, and the only thing I need to pay special attention to at the moment is naturally the mysterious master who swept almost all the clues and the only hostage on the scene with a strong wind, and I still remember every word of the mental message it sent before leaving.
It is not difficult to infer from this that this man must have been observing all the events of the previous night from beginning to end, otherwise it would not have been able to say that I had taken revenge, and I think that this person knew all the information that Reika Konoe had given me, that he knew that the Konoe family, that he knew the National Police Agency, that he knew that the two might be related, and that he might even have enough knowledge of the relationship with Konoe within the government, so that he rightly told me that none of this had anything to do with me, and in fact it had nothing to do with me before yesterday. In addition, I don't think that the mysterious master must be a close person to the Konoe family, maybe the mysterious person knows Konoe Yong, but its attitude of protecting Konoe Reika is not like protecting the people close to it, but it makes me think that it has other intentions towards Konoe Reika or the Konoe family, but what is this intention? I can't judge.
All in all, the advice given to me by the mysterious man did not contain a strong sense of warning, and the last sentence was faintly encouraging, and I was surprised to perceive that encouraging me to approach and inquire into the Konoe family? Its purpose made me feel more and more mysterious, and I didn't know if my judgment was accurate, but no matter what the mystical master wanted me to do, whether I chose to leave or ignore the so-called advice and move forward boldly, I would never give up on approaching the Konoe family to find out the information.
The representative of the Konoe family, Reika's father, Isamu Konoe, and the chief of the National Police Agency are the only two breakthroughs I have so far.
But how do I approach the two? I was worried that I was missing one of the most important thingsβsocial experience, or social experience, and Miss Komachi's mental information could not help me.
If I plan to be a person who is ten million times more arrogant than Miss Hei/Dao, of course I don't need to consider the so-called social activity experience, and directly arrest and torture the relevant people with unstoppable supernatural powers, but do I have the ability? A mysterious man with a great influence has made me sweat - this is still a master with no obvious ill will towards me.
I don't think even if you reach an unreasonable level of cultivation like Princess Kaguya's social status in her realm or Sister Purple, you don't necessarily dare to let yourself be so arrogant and presumptuous, not to mention that I think the arrogant style is more determined by the natural side of the character.
Speaking of which, I just need some help! But to whom should I reach out? Or who has the power to lend a helping hand to me?
