Chapter 13: Shrouded in Darkness

"Eight... Clouds··· Purple! The girl roared hysterically, her delicate appearance became terrifying due to distortion, and her red eyes revealed murderous intent, as if they had turned into substance, and even the air exuded coldness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But the eyes can't kill, and the monster standing in front of the girl, like a leisurely stroll, holds an umbrella and covers the upper half of her face, only revealing an unpredictable smile at the corner of her mouth.

"What is life like on earth?"

"It's very good, although I have to get up early every day, eat shabby, and live in a very narrow place, but it's still very good. It is a good place in the world, and the villagers are kind and welcoming, and they help me when I am in trouble. ”

"Isn't that great~" Penglai Mountain Kaguya raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, at the beginning, I thought that the world would be depressed and depressed, but I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly prosperous, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, not worried about livelihood, like a paradise."

"It's only natural to think so, after all, this is a place where monsters are rampant." Penglai Mountain Kaguya nodded.

"But the monsters are unexpectedly self-disciplined, it is said that there are monster sages who have customized the rules, not to slaughter humans at will, although there are some monsters who intentionally violate the rules in private, but there are not many of them, and Sister Hong can deal with it."

"Is that so?" There seems to be something in the smile of Penglai Mountain Kaguya, like... Pity, like indifference. After a pause, Penglai Mountain Huiye spoke again: "Yuelin, do you know why this place is called Gensokyo?"

"I don't know, but as the name suggests, it means a place that accommodates the beautiful frontier of the world."

"That's right, this statement is indeed the goal pursued by that old monster, but unfortunately, the world is not so beautiful, the best of both worlds will not happen, and there will be a side to bear the sadness after all." At the end, Penglai Mountain Huiye was silent for a while.

"This is a land that was originally established to expand the origin of youkai."

Saying that, Penglai Mountain Huiye looked up at the full moon at night, at this time, it was July, and most of the bright hemisphere could be clearly seen.

"Speaking of which, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival." Yuelin looked at the eyes of Penglai Mountain Huiye, and then sighed.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is said to be a festival in China that carries out the thoughts of hometown and relatives."

"Hmmm... However, I have neither a hometown nor relatives, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is just an ordinary day for me, and if I really want to say it, it is just one more reason to eat moon cakes. ”

I should have understood, Penglai Mountain Kaguya has clearly hinted that whether it was in the past or now, the land that contains the beautiful frontier of the world, the land called Gensokyo by the monsters, has always been for the yokai, and human beings are just a part of the operation of Gensokyo.

The moonlight is shrouded, speaking of which, today is a very unusual day, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the outside world, but it is a feast of monster carnival in Gensokyo, late at night, the black fog gathered by the terrifying atmosphere will cover this starry sky, like a painting is draped in a curtain, but the full moon still exudes a strange light.

I could vaguely hear the wind outside the village, as if mixed with the footsteps of some huge object falling to the ground, and a fear called the unknown enveloped the world, like a plague, quickly spreading to every corner.

Death creeps in... It's hard to imagine that it was still a prosperous and harmonious scene in the morning, but when night fell, it was like hell. Yuelin trembled and hid in the corner, the footsteps of death lingering back and forth outside the door, the screams of the dead souls resounding in his ears were like locusts tearing his heart, and his eyes were empty as if he had lost his soul.

From that moment on, I finally understood that the heart to the light only makes people cowardly, because the world... But it's cruel. I remembered a picture of the girl who fell asleep leaning on the bamboo tree at night, and it was she who carried the darkness alone.

It's obviously a rich life within reach, but there is no nostalgia for refusal, because he knows that as long as he relaxes a little, he will dull people, close himself in the unknown dark place, and warn himself all the time in a cruel and painful way of survival.

A strong man named a human being, but so powerful that even monsters can easily subdue it, has survived a long time and come to this day, her path, has never had a light, maybe so, she has experienced this pain, in order to satisfy the selfishness of being a human being, she hopes that no one will experience this kind of pain from the bottom of her heart, and works hard for this, silently protecting the human beings in the countryside, neither for fame, nor for self-satisfaction in return.

Fujiwara Meihong is the girl I admire and pursue.

"Yakumo Purple, if you don't get out of the way, even if you risk the destruction of the Great Enchantment, I will kill you!" Fujiwara Meihong said word by word, and the gloom contained in her tone made even the youkai feel afraid.

"Please be considerate of our situation, after all, this is our last place to stay, no matter what, I must ensure the operation of Gensokyo." Yakumo's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

Named the last shelter,Accommodating the non-human creatures that are still alive in this world,In other words,Even Fujiwara Meihong is included,This is also the Penglai Pure Land that Fujiwara Meihong has been pursuing,In this border land far from the mortal world,The so-called immortality is just common sense that is not worth mentioning,Fujiwara Meihong, who is accepted by people,Love this land from the heart,Other non-human lives also hold this idea。

"I will definitely take action with the consciousness of killing you, and there will be no mercy in the middle of the split." Fujiwara Meihong said coldly.

"Purple-sama, that's all it takes to fight..." Yakumo Lan, who was standing behind Yakumo, was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yakumo Zi waving his hand.

"Lan, she's not at the level you can deal with anymore, but it's okay, it's rare to meet such an interesting opponent, and I've been interested for a long time."

"I can't continue to be cowardly, I'm going out to fight..." Yuelin gritted his teeth and said, but his words trembled, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get up, as if his body was out of control.

Yuelin beat his legs like crazy, the severe pain made Yuelin finally master his body, after standing up with difficulty, pushing open the door, but the sight made Yuelin vomit, the bones of the deceased were scattered everywhere, the blood-colored liquid stained the street, I had never seen such a scene, and even standing was very reluctant.

A voice whispered in my heart: "You are just a weak person, and there is nothing you can do in the face of such a situation, and it is your obligation to hide in the corner and survive." ”

Yue Lin shook his head frantically, a trace of madness flashed in his pupils, and he kept panting: "It's not like this, the person holding the knife in my hand is me, even if the strength is very insignificant, it is by no means a reason to escape." ”

Yuelin thought of the weak figure, but he carried the darkness of the human race alone, and a trace of strength suddenly appeared in his body, although his body was still afraid, Yuelin resolutely pulled out the scabbard of the village, and walked towards the monster not far away with trembling steps.

The sunflowers by the window, dyed red by the spilled blood, are a little more weird, and the road towards the light is shrouded in darkness.

It is precisely because I have experienced the beauty of hope that when the real despair comes, I will feel the pain, and the pain... Easily tear apart the shell of a human being.
