Fifteen days after the Demon Eater mutation, the order of Gensokyo gradually returned to calm, and the main culprit of the Demon Eater mutation slowly faded out of the field of vision of human beings. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Lost in the bamboo forest, Yuelin held the village zheng, walked back and forth in the bamboo and wood group, walked for a long time, and suddenly saw the bamboo shoots lying under the bamboo, with a happy face, and the village was drawn out of the scabbard, the knife flashed, and the bamboo wood was cut out, and he gnawed it with satisfaction.
Whoosh~ There was a sound of something approaching quickly in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw Fujiwara Meihong already standing not far from him.
"Sister Hong, are you here, do you want to eat bamboo shoots? The bamboo shoots improved by Bayi Yonglin are tender and juicy, and you can't get tired of eating them. Yuelin handed the bamboo shoot that had taken a few bites to Fujiwara Meihong.
"You're really laid-back now, it seems that my worries are a little unnecessary." Fujiwara smiled and shook her head, but there was an inadvertent hint of tiredness between her eyebrows.
"What's going on?"
"It's nothing, it's just a small thing, in the last few days, there has been a sneaky guy in the world, and I don't know what to do, some villagers have seen him in the alley, but it's nothing, it's just the extent of running around. I was going to catch him and reveal his true colors, but that guy was too cunning, and every time he tried to make a move, that guy had already run away first. โ
"It's nothing..." Yuelin touched his nose and said disapprerovitically.
"If it is placed in normal times, it is indeed nothing, but the disaster has just ended, even the slightest wind and grass will make people think about it unconsciously." Fujiwara Meihong said helplessly.
"If it's just this kind of thing, it won't make you feel troubled." Yuelin was puzzled.
"The full moon feast caused so much damage that I don't know if it was the human beings who were devoured, and many houses were reduced to rubble, and these days, they have been helping the villagers to rebuild their houses, and it has been busy for a while, and finally it is over. Speaking of which... Today is the day of the funeral, are you coming? โ
Most of the dead human beings have no bodies to be found, only some skeletons that are difficult to identify, and many villagers have no choice but to hold a public funeral.
"Is that okay? Now I am probably not accepted by human beings. Yuelin smiled bitterly.
"It's nothing, you don't look like a human, just remember to wear a mask."
โยทยทยท Thank you. Yuelin said solemnly.
This is the funeral of the deceased, at this moment in the world is like a wounded child crying, every trace of sadness in the air, as if to materialize, with the help of Fujiwara Meihong, Yuelin's blended into the crowd, everyone was immersed in the pain of the deceased's death, and did not care about the sudden stranger.
The murmur of the mantra began at some point, echoing, gradually drowning out the weeping, whining, and the only sound that sounded, the sacred and solemn voice, seemed to be faintly felt in the repose of the dead.
Yuelin stood in the crowd, and he saw himself in the funeral ceremony. Maybe this is not an illusion, the dead lying in it may have a place for him, and it is still a human Yuelin.
Suddenly, Yuelin felt that the corner of her clothes was being pulled, and she was a little flustered in her heart, and turned her head to see that it was Marisa Kiriyu, wearing a pure white mourning dress, and the girl who was full of vitality in her impression looked a lot less energetic at the moment, like a withered flower, no longer having the bright sun of the past.
Marisa seemed to want to say something, but after thinking about it, she still let go of the corner of Yuelin's clothes and drowned in the crowd, Yuelin could be sure that Marisa Miriyu must know who she was, her eyes were still so sincere, fortunately she didn't expose herself.
After a while, Yuelin saw Marisa Misty Rain again, this time, but on the funeral table, there were four people lifting a noble coffin, obviously the deceased was not an ordinary person, and the tears on Marisa Miriyu's face could be seen from some distance, she stood beside the coffin, watching the coffin, until it was buried in the ground, and she didn't want to look away, for a long, long time.
A long day, no matter how slow the time is, will eventually go, and when the night falls, the funeral will come to an end.
Yuelin, who was leaving, saw the figure of Marisa Misty Rain at the entrance of the village in the world, she was carrying a small package, and changed back into the unique apron witch dress, sensing Yuelin's gaze, Marisa Miriyu turned around.
"Sure enough, it's you." Marisa's eyes flashed with the color of what it was.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Yuelin asked
"Why be afraid?" Marisa Kiriyu asked rhetorically.
"I ate a youkai."
"It's nothing, since youkai can eat humans, then why can't humans eat youkai." Marisa said very seriously.
Reasonable, convincing, Yuelin found himself speechless.
Marisa Kiriyu's gaze was still as clear as when they first met, and there was not a trace of dirt in sight.
For some reason, I felt a little warm in my heart, and I inadvertently seemed to be redeemed by an angel.
"That... Marisa, where are you going? Yuelin noticed the package on Marisa's hand.
"Leave the world and find a way to cultivate magic."
"Won't Boss Fog and Rain object?"
"Grandpa... He's gone, and he's just seen him for the last time..." The cold wind of autumn blew, and Marisa subconsciously pressed her hat, and she couldn't see the clear eyes, only tears passed down her face.
"I'm so sorry..."
"It's nothing, in fact, this kind of thing, grandpa has long expected it, in the days before the full moon feast, grandpa suddenly came to me and inexplicably supported me to practice magic. I was supposed to... Originally, I wanted to let my grandfather see the power of magic when I was successful in my cultivation, but... There is no such opportunity. Marisa cried so hard that she didn't even care, even if she had a runny nose.
The slaughter, known as the feast of the full moon, is actually to create fear, as one of the three royal families in the world, the respected old family owner, is highly respected among the villagers, his death is undoubtedly a huge blow to the villagers, and at the same time, it will correspondingly, create more fear.
Marisa Miriyu left the world and disappeared into the night, listening to Marisa, walking into the depths of the Lost Bamboo Forest, there is a forest, and there is a magician living in the forest, who may be able to ask her for advice.
Since then, I have never seen this energetic figure in the human world.
At night... The boy who lost in the bamboo forest, he was baking a bonfire, looking at the distorted picture in the fireworks, I didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly, without any warning, a pretty figure appeared behind the boy, and even a little sound no longer existed, it was as weird as a ghost, but the boy was not surprised.
"Yakumo Purple, if there is a youkai devouring humans and creating fear, there is no need to launch a full moon feast."
"It's true, whether it's devouring humanity or a full moon feast, it's just to create the fear that keeps it going." Yakumo Purple is undeniable.
"Then declare it... Declare to those youkai in my place as a youkai sage, and tell them that the humans in the world are my food, and any youkai who want to get their hands on it, I don't mind tasting the taste of youkai again..." The smile raised by the young man was very cold and indifferent.
"Can you do it? Devouring humanity may not be an easy task for you. โ
"I'm not human anymore, listen... What do humans call me now, Demon Eater? Now I'm just a monster in human skin. โ
