"Miss Jue really doesn't know where Ah Yi ran to?"

"I don't know. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"So you just want me to help keep an eye on the black cat with two tails?"

"yes, it shouldn't be that hard."

"It's not difficult, and I'm happy to help you," I said, "but has Miss Satoru considered any other possibilities?" ”

“？”

"For example, there are special cases such as going out of Gensokyo by mistake, going out of Gensokyo by mistake, or going out of Gensokyo by mistake......"

"Or have you been caught by a beast or a wild carnivorous youkai, but haven't been eaten yet?"

"Yes." I don't mind her stealing the lines, my mind and verbal expression are just close to synchronizing, and it's normal to be read minds.

"Hmm-" Miss Jue frowned slightly, it seemed that she had thought of the conditions for the so-called special situation to occur, in fact, more than a month ago, a major event had happened that affected the entire Gensokyo.

"Looks like you've thought of something possible." I say.

"Yes, I rarely pay attention to what is happening on the ground, and until just now I didn't think about the fact that Ah Yi was missing and related to other things, but after Miss Alice's reminder, combined with all the information you conveyed to me, I think it is very likely that Ah Yi accidentally stumbled into it, or actively chose to leave Gensokyo."

"What about the possibility of being caught and locked up?"

"Ah Yi has been looking for a long time, and no clues have been found either initially or recently, so the probability of Ah Yi being arrested is too small to be considered for the time being. On the contrary, it is more likely that it will leave Gensokyo without leaving a trace. ”

"Miss Jue's judgment is very reasonable."

"No, that's your judgment, Miss Alice."

"It's all the same."

The inference that supports us to conclude that Ah Yi has left Gensokyo is of course not as simple as Miss Jue's words.

A month ago, the big thing that happened in Gensokkyo was of course the second Red Mist Mutation caused by Miss Vampire, which hardly bothered or troubled anyone, because the Red Mist came and went so quickly that it didn't create obstacles to travel or agricultural production for the people in Gensokyo, nor did it make the weather unusually cold and make everyone reluctant to go out, and certainly didn't deprive Gensokyo of the right to appear and plunge Gensokyo into a long night.

What makes the second Red Mist mutation reach the level of a major event is the inflammatory remarks of Remilia attached to the Red Mist, which I have long known from the mouths of Patchy and others, no matter how profound and open the people's wisdom remarks, I have concluded that it is nothing more than telling everyone: there is a wider world out there, as long as everyone likes it, you can abandon Gensokyo at any time.

Although Remilia's original intention was to free everyone from the shackles of the spirit and become able to think freely, which is in fact incomparable to the benefits of spiritual advancement, it should be noted that there are not many of the little monsters who are originally intelligent, and even fewer are savvy, and under the impact of such incendiary thoughts, the little monsters can easily go astray and become demons and monsters who do not hesitate to harm one party for their own selfishness.

This is not uncommon in times of chaos, and these gods and ghosts (such as the cult masters who claim to be Queen Arthur's descendants) are able to obtain the worship of the people of the village by various means, or simply seek to secure the worship of some village humans, or turn into brutal demanders in the self-deception of self-proclaimed gods, the latter of course far more dangerous than the former, but both are inherently destructive.

The legends and customs of evil gods among both the Far East and the West were cultivated under such conditions, and for the fragile social order maintained by the gods, these destroyers were of course the targets of crusade and extermination, even for ordinary humans, as long as they woke up to the deception, or could not bear the oppression, and found an opportunity, they would spontaneously crusade against those evil demons and monsters.

In the treatment of these powerful and destructive little monsters, Yakumo's attitude is naturally a tough physical suppression.

The little youkai or ordinary people who can understand Remilia's information and not go astray don't care about the wider world, they care more about their own cultivation or simple life, and this part naturally doesn't have to worry about the big youkai. And people like Kiruno and Lumia who ignore (or don't bother to understand) this are the majority, so they don't have to worry about it.

So, at that time, the flame cat Aichi, who happened to be wandering around Gensokyo looking for an opportunity to break through in his cultivation, was naturally affected by the red mist with the message of his thoughts released by Remilia, how would it choose?

Of course, Ms. Satoru knows a lot about her own pets. And I judge that the pet cats who were born in the Earth Spirit Hall and are about to become successful in cultivation should not be so stupid that they can't understand Remilia's ideological information, and most of the pets in the Earth Spirit Temple are tame (?). Judging from the character, Ah Yi is not likely to belong to the wave that is so harmful that it needs to be suppressed.

But this doesn't mean that the little monster can freely enter and leave Gensokyo as he wants, Yakumo's standards are very strict.

But after thinking about it this way, I began to suspect that Yakumo Murasaki was actually an undercover agent sent by humans.

"Whether Yakumo is an undercover agent sent by humans or not, only she knows," said Miss Satoru, "but I think that her actions just happened to be in line with the role of maintaining the stability of human society, and all this was probably not her own initiative, or it was just a side effect of her wishes." ”

I don't think I've heard anything like this before.,Did Miss Kanako say it?

"The judgment of the gods may be more credible," Ms. Satoru continued, "All in all, the existence of Gensokyo is more like a prison for outsiders who have the potential to be harmful, and in fact from the perspective of outsiders, Gensokyo's role can indeed be seen as a prison. ”

"Well, that's how it looks from the perspective of an outside human," I said, "but we're not outside humans, neither is Purple, and Gensokyo's meaning may be different to us, but it's not like a prison." ”

"Since the formation of human society, there are not a few demons and monsters from all walks of life who have mixed into human society to learn human life and survive, even if it is a developed civilization today, such a situation is still widespread, and most of the monsters that have settled in human society will no longer take the initiative to destroy the social order, even if there is occasional disharmony, it will not affect the overall situation, and it will soon be solved by the humans or monsters who are aware of the abnormality, but if the ignorant demons who lack experience in Gensokyo since ancient times are mixed into human society in large numbers, There is no doubt that there will be countless real-world problems that cannot be solved by a few people. So from the perspective of the humans of the outside world, including the youkai who are in peace with each other from the outside, Gensokyo is a prison that is very successful in its practical role. ”

Miss Satoru explained completely, not only to me, but also to make herself realize, "But in our eyes, Gensokyo has nothing to do with it, and the consequences of Yakumo Zi's strange cultivation seem simple and clear, but when you think about it, it makes people feel that her purpose is not as clear as it appears on the surface. ”

"Then don't guess, and there's no need to guess," I said, "What I'm thinking of is not about Sister Pursaki's cultivation, but about the criterion for Ah Yi to leave Gensokyo," I continued with the above interrupted thoughts, "If Ah Yi is a little monster who is not dangerous to others or himself, although he may not be restricted by Purple, it is not so easy to find a way to leave Gensokyo, if he leaves Gensokyo, will it be a mistake?" Or was it deliberately let out by Sister Zi? ”

"When I first asked Ah Yi to leave the Earth Spirit Temple, I asked Miss Zi to take care of my flame cat occasionally, but there was never a situation where I needed her help. And Ah Yi's disappearance happened to happen after the vampire lady mutation, and there is no doubt that the connection is quite profound. ”

"Yes."
