Curtain 55 Lamentations
After leaving the Enchanted Forest, Yutong Shiai did not immediately go to the sky, but continued to walk from the edge of the forest, walking forward. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Today the snow has finally stopped, the clouds have dispersed a little, and the near-perfect moon is shining a gentle light. In the plains beyond this forest, the snow on the ground is also slightly visible in the light of the moon.
He walked down the road alone.
Suddenly, Yutong Shiai found that he had rarely walked on the road with such a person. Since I came to Gensokyo four years ago, I have met many people, such as Alice, such as Hakurei Reimu, such as Remilia, and such as Penglai Mountain Kaguya. Along the way, he has lost his dreams, lost hopes, been hurt, and hurt others.
Now, he stands in Gensokyo, walking on this field. Tomorrow, he will go to the moon again for all his long-cherished wishes in the past.
He stood still, his eyes raised.
The figure of the monster mountain in the distance is hazy, the smoke and sparks in the world are lit up, the Red Devil Pavilion is still brightly lit, the World Tower stands in the night, and behind it is the forest.
He just stood there and sighed before continuing to walk out.
The evening breeze blew through her body, the hem of the dress that Alice had given her fluttered, and the headband given by Sanae swayed with the wind on the back of her head. He pulled out the small music box from his bosom.
In the silence of the night, there are only crisp notes like a girl's ballad. He looked at the silver-white metal box, listening to the tune he knew best, and his eyes were calm.
He had been worried about Sanae in the East Wind Valley more than once, and he really couldn't respond to the other party's expectations, and so did Igolia, and so did Sanae. But maybe he did something wrong before that, right? But he couldn't say what was wrong.
Having said that, there was no way to clear his thoughts, he could only suppress the indescribable feelings in his head, closed the music box, and decided to go to the Red Devil Pavilion. It's just a day, just wait there.
But when he came to the front of the Red Devil Pavilion, he was a little surprised to see the closed door and two girls standing and sitting. The half-dragon girl and the dragon qi monster, the two girls are now in front of the gate of the Red Devil Pavilion, and Hong Misuzu is standing, with her back against the gate of the iron fence, her head lowered and her hands on her chest, and it seems that she is asleep again. And about five meters in front of her, the black ghost spirit sat on the ground, with his right elbow on his lap, his palm supporting his chin, and looked boredly at Yutong Shiai, who came over.
"Isn't that who, that's who."
Her left hand lifted weakly and beckoned. Yutong Shiai smiled bitterly.
"Good evening, Miss Dark Spirit. What, at the vigil? ”
"Ah, as you can see. It's boring. And if you want to go in, you can't do it yet. ”
The black ghost looked really boring, and it seemed that he felt a lot more energetic to be able to catch someone chatting, and he didn't look like he was loveless just now, just shaking and saying to Yutong Shiai.
"That eldest lady in the house, it's difficult for strong people, let's not let anyone in until the sun sets tomorrow, not even rabbits."
When it comes to rabbits, I guess it refers to the rabbits of Eternity-tei.
Yutong Shiai could only smile and sit down. The stone brick floor in front of the entrance of the Red Devil Pavilion was fairly clean, and there was no snow. He didn't want to embarrass these two men, so he just sat on the ground like this, chatting with the black ghost without saying a word, waiting for tomorrow night to come. For youkai, the concept of time is very different from that of humans, and twenty-four hours can pass quickly.
And so, on the second day, when the sun had risen, two figures came in the distance. Red Misuzu's ears moved, and she continued to keep her head down. When the two people approached, Yutong Shiai's face was a little weird.
Hakurei Reimu arrives empty-handed, while Marisa Kiri carries a pack of mushrooms on her back. There were so many mushrooms that they were revealing from her bag, but Marisa didn't care.
"Huh? What kind of eyes do you have, Ten Loves. ”
Marisa looked at Yutong's eyes and felt very unhappy.
"This is food, it can also be used as firepower, mushrooms that are quite useful wherever you go, what kind of attitude do you have!"
Yutong Shiai can only shrug his shoulders. For this girl's rhetoric, in his opinion, it is nonsense at all. The power of the rocket is from Reimu's summoning of the three pillars of Sumiyoshi, and in terms of food, the Red Devil Pavilion can also provide food with a higher energy and smaller size than these mushrooms, so her bag of mushrooms feels completely unnecessary.
Hakurei Reimu didn't say anything, she just walked over to the side of the Black Phantom and Yutong Shiai, and looked at the closed door.
"What's the matter, Remilia isn't home?"
She asked.
"The eldest lady is at home, but she said that she won't let in until the sun goes down."
The Black Phantom repeats what he said before. After hearing this, Hakuri Reimu thought about it for a moment and took out the imperial coin from behind him.
"Then let's go straight in, Marisa."
"That's fine."
The magic behind her raised her eyebrows, and she also clenched the gossip furnace in her hand.
Yutong Shiai sighed. Just as I was about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, I heard the sound of Sixteen Nights Sakuya coming from the other side of the gate.
"Misuzu, let them in."
Hearing the order of the head maid, Hongmisuzu, who had been leaning against the door with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and then stretched.
"Uh-huh...... Then you wait. ”
Then she turned, and with a force of her arms, she pushed the door open. Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kiriyu smiled at each other, and then walked in side by side. Yutong Shiai looked at the Black Phantom, and the Black Phantom's face didn't seem to care about this, but continued to sit next to Yutong Shiai, shaking his feet in boredom.
"Why, aren't you going in yet?"
She looked at Yutong Shiai and still didn't go in, so she asked.
"No, I'm not going in yet. I'll wait for someone here. ”
Yutong Shiai smiled and shook his head. The Black Phantom nodded.
"Whatever you want."
Yutong Shiai continued to sit outside. Today's weather is good, and the snow-covered land of Gensokyo is beautiful under the sun. He sat for a while before standing up and standing outside the gate, looking in the direction of Youkai Mountain.
No one else may come, but the girl will come.
After a while, the sun gradually climbed to the zenith, and during this time, such as the wind and the fragrance or the fog and rain also came. Until almost the sunset, Yutong Shiai finally saw the blue-haired girl walking against the wind in the distant air. It seems that he also saw Yutong Shiai from afar, and the girl beckoned from afar.
At the same time, Red Misuzu and Black Phantom suddenly flashed with surprise on their faces. The two of them glanced at each other, and then the black ghost who was sitting on the ground got up, patted his white trousers casually, and walked to Yutong Shiai's side.
"Behind your right, in the forest, there's someone staring at you."
Yutong Shiai glanced at her in surprise, but at this time, the black ghost had already wandered back with a bored look on his head, and did not give him time to ask.
Yutong Shiai's eyes looked back at the girl who flew in, and a smile appeared on her face again.
Sanae of Togashiya landed beside him from the sky with a smile on her face. She looked at the wide open iron door, as well as the Yutong Shiai in front of her.
"What's the matter, Ten Love, are you waiting for me?"
"Well, that's how it was intended. But I have a little bit of work to attend to now, and I probably won't be able to accompany you in. ”
Yutong Shiai smiled at her slightly apologetically. Sanae looked at him, smiled, and nodded obediently.
"I see. I'll be waiting for you inside. I remember it was tonight. Oh yes, there's more. ”
The girl took the boy's left hand with both hands, then quickly lifted it up before the boy could react, placed it in front of her, and kissed it on her finger. Yutong Shiai's fingers felt the other party's soft and warm lips, and he couldn't help but be stunned, wanting to withdraw it, but he didn't exert his strength. After all, if you take it away like this, it will be too embarrassing for Sanae in front of Red Misuzu and Black Phantom.
"Hey, hey."
Sanae Dongfang Gu held Yutong Shiai's hand with both hands, revealing a sly smile.
"Don't miss the appointment this time, Ten Loves. This time, maybe it's not as simple as swallowing a thousand needles, really, I'm already a little ......"
Speaking of this, in her eyes, Yutong Shiai saw something that made him feel guilty in his heart. Yutong Shiai sighed and nodded.
"I see."
Hearing the answer, Sanae's smile was like a flower that was frostbitten by the falling snow and almost withered, making it difficult for Yutong Shiai to refuse. He gently withdrew his hand, and Sanae Dongfuya also sensibly let go, and then Yutong Shiai patted her head comfortingly.
"I'll keep waiting, so hurry, Ten Love."
She stood in place, her hands under her sleeves unconsciously clenched into fists, and she looked at Yutong Shiai like this. Yutong Shiai knew that the other party wanted to watch him leave and go in again, so he nodded and turned around, walking towards the distant enchanted forest that the black ghost had pointed to before.
The Red Devil Pavilion on the shore of the Lake of Fog was already close to the Enchanted Forest, and it didn't take him a few minutes to get to this forest. Yutong Shiai doesn't know how the black ghost found out that someone is watching him, but the black ghost is a dragon monster, and his ability comes from the half-dragon girl Red Misuzu, so he will never be untargeted.
After going a little deeper, he raised his eyebrows, raised his head, and saw two knives falling from the sky. But before these two knives could reach their bodies, they were resisted by the true poems released by Yutong Shiai. Yutong Shiai took two steps back unhurriedly, looking at the two attackers who missed the blow and dodged to the side to stand still.
"Ann is spring, Ann is winter."
The chains slid slowly around him, swaying like snakes with sharp cuts. Yutong Shiai looked at these two young girls who attacked inexplicably with a bad look.
"It's impossible that your teacher didn't teach you, judge the situation, pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, right?"
"Shut up! Yutong Ten Love! ”
What interrupted him was An Weidong's angry shout, his eyes full of hatred and anger, and the hilt of his sword in both hands made a slight grinding sound from too much force.
"Obviously I only visited the teacher two days ago, but it turned out to be just to test the teacher and then kill him!?"
Hearing the surprising situation, Yutong raised her eyebrows.
"Is Ann alive or dead?"
"Don't pretend here! I'll tell you......"
"Brother!"
An Weidong, who just wanted to continue to say something, was interrupted by An Weichun, she glared at the other party, An Weidong also reacted and gritted his teeth. Then the two attacked Yutong Shiai on the left and the right. Yutong Shiai had no room to argue, only to unfold the chain and block the blades of the two. Compared with An Weisheng three years ago, these two children still owe a lot of fire.
"Tsk."
An Weisheng's accidental death, the murderer does not know who it is, but the confrontation between An Weisheng and Yutong Shiai was in the world for the first time, and the second time was witnessed by An Wei's sister and brother in the Wuyuan Tomb, this crime can only be said to be impossible not to be his. Yutong Shiai also roughly understands the style of An Wei's sister and brother, and knows that these two people are quite unpersuasive people, not to mention that they have been recognized as murderers by the other party, and no matter how much they say, it will not help.
Therefore, you can only use force to control the other party first. Fortunately, the two little guys are still too young, and they have only been living with An Weisheng for three years, Yutong Shiai's figure retreated in the air under the approach of the two, An Weichun's knife slashed from the right side, but was blocked by the true poem, and suddenly shook and wrapped around the blade twice. An Weichun wanted to take it away, but was swept aside by Yutong Shiai, and more than a dozen chains poured out of his hand to touch it, and before An Weichun reacted that he should let go and abandon the knife to dodge, he tied it up.
"Sister Chun!"
An Weidong saw that his sister was in deep danger, and he shouted, put the knife back into the sheath with his right hand, and burst out with a huge force under his feet to shoot Yutong Shiai. Yutong Shiai glanced at him, the true poetry gathered in front of him, An Weidong wanted to attack Yutong Shiai or rescue his sister must go through the blockade composed of these chains.
An Weidong's eyes were shining, his face was cold, his right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and when he pulled it, the blade of the sword seemed to have lost its shape as if it had been photogenic, and turned into a ray of light to hit the true poem, piercing the protection of Yutong Shiai in the rusty red chain flying, but it was flashed by Yutong Shiai's side. And the chains of the defeated True Poetry also burst out like a snake that had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, and also tied the other party strongly.
"Okay, I didn't kill An Weisheng, you don't believe me and I don't want to explain. Tell me, where is An Weisheng's body? ”
He asked, hanging the two sisters, wrapped in real poetry like spindles, in front of him.
"Hmph."
With a cold snort, An Weichun closed his eyes. And An Weidong just gritted his teeth.
"Tsk, so you guys......"
Yutong Shiai took out the pharaoh's heart scarab from his bosom and released two or three flying in front of him. The sound of the scarab beetle's flapping wings rang in the sisters' ears along with his voice.
"This is the scarab beetle of Egypt, a substitute for the heart of the pharaohs. But in reality, after finding the corpse, these little insects will not only eat the heart, they will burrow into the body from the mouth, eat the internal organs, then eat the meat, eat the bones, until the whole person is only an empty layer of skin on the outside. ”
Yutong Shiai smiled a little lowly, looking at the two sisters who showed an angry look in front of them and could no longer fight non-violently.
"Okay, let's say, do I release a bunch of such bugs to find An Weisheng, or do you tell me. It doesn't matter, you can believe me or not, you can choose for yourself. ”
“…… In the large toad pond. ”
An Weichun couldn't ignore such a warning after all, so he could only say it unwillingly. Blood was running from her lips, not from the fighting, but from the remorse that she had bitten her tongue. Seeing his sister like this, An Weidong could only keep his head down and constantly struggle in the real poem. He struggled desperately, and under the constraints of the true poetry, there were scratches on his body, but it was impossible to loosen it at all, but he was still struggling in vain.
Yutong Shiai knows, in fact, he also knows that it is impossible, but if he doesn't, the anger and unwillingness to feel guilty in his heart will make him go crazy directly.
He sighed and took his silent sister to the big toad pond in Youkai Mountain with his crazy younger brother. By the time we arrived at our destination, it was already sunset. Under the threat of Yutong Shiai, the location of An Weisheng's body was told by An Weisheng's sisters.
An Weisheng has not yet been buried, but he was placed on the ground by the sisters and brothers, leaning against the tree, and the two imperial swords were inserted at his side, and no little demon beast dared to approach. Seeing the corpse of the teacher, the two siblings no longer quarreled, but were silent. Yutong Shiai approached and inspected An Weisheng's body.
An Weisheng lowered his head, but there were obvious strangulation marks on his neck, three buttons were broken, his chest was full of blood and wounds, and his flanks were cut open, proving that there were also several knife cuts, and what was even more cruel was that his limbs seemed to have been cut with a sharp weapon very cruelly, but they were not completely cut off, leaving a small piece of flesh and skin to connect.
This is a considerable degree of injury, and it can be seen that the murderer did not intend to kill, but simply vented, and may even have whipped the corpse.
"What a cruel tactic."
Yutong Shiai's gaze walked on this, An Weisheng was originally not long-lived, and in the end, he had a little bit of human perception, and he might feel a little bit of the fun of living in the world from the An Wei sisters and brothers behind him, but now he took a sharp turn and fell to death, I have to say that Yutong Shiai sighed.
"You know my means, and what is commonly used is the true poem, which is the chain on your body."
Yutong Shiai glanced at the sister and brother behind him.
"You can also see the thickness of this chain that does not match the marks on An Weisheng's neck, and the fracture can't be cut so easily and smoothly."
As he spoke, he let the two of them go a little bit.
"Find a place to bury him."
This sentence seemed to have touched some switch, and An Weichun's silent voice suddenly let out a whimper. Her sword fell from the soothing chains of the True Verse, but instead of picking it up, she sat on the ground with her legs limp, her hands covering her face, tears streaming down the face of the tough maiden for the first time.
Hearing his sister's crying, An Weidong still stared at the corpse blankly. As the True Poetry pulled away from him, his knees went limp, and he fell to his knees. He didn't cry, but silently retracted his sword into its scabbard, then stood up with his sword and took a deep breath.
"You swear ......"
His voice trembled considerably, and the words trembled along with the sword.
"Yutong Shiai, you swear, what you say is true."
His eyes were staring fiercely at Yutong Shiai, and his ears were sobbing from his sister, and his clenched teeth seemed to be oozing blood from his gums.
Yutong Shiai looked at him and nodded.
"I swear."
An Weidong nodded heavily, closed his eyes, tilted his head and took a deep breath, and then half-squatted, his whole body muscles tensed.
"Ahh——————!h
The shouts of venting echoed in the forest, startling many birds that had already rested, and even a team of white wolf tengu patrolling the mountains had already been drilled out on the side. Yutong Shiai saw it and greeted it. The one who took the lead was the old acquaintance, the dog walked away.
"I'm sorry, Miss Inugo, but there's a little bit of something to take care of here, borrow the treasure land. After that, I will personally worship the Heavenly Demon. ”
The Celestial Demon is the leader of Monster Mountain, leading the Great Tengu and the White Wolf Tengu and the Raven Tengu. Hearing Yutong Shiai say this, Inu had to nod, after all, there was a monster sage standing behind the other party. After sending away the White Wolf Tengu Mountain Patrol Team, Yutong Shiai turned her head, only to see a petite vampire girl standing behind the two siblings, looking at him.
"Remy?"
He was surprised that just as the moon rocket was about to take off, the principal arrived. He walked over and cast an inquiring look. Remilia glanced at Yutong Shiai and snorted.
"Misuzu told me. Yutong Shiai, I have to say that the things that have to do with you often fall off the chain at the most critical time. ”
Yutong Shiai didn't refute, just looked at her.
"It's okay, you're still here."
"Anyway, everything will be arranged for Patsy, I might as well come out and take a look. But then again, Yutong Ten Loves. ”
Remilia hooked her finger at him, apparently trying to tell him something she didn't want her siblings to know. Yutong Shiai had to bow her head, and then Remilia came over.
"Look inside the canopy on the left."
Yutong Shiai looked over, and the trees on the left were broken and scarred, apparently left by the previous battle. In the midst of the canopy, Yutong Shiai noticed a small object.
A small spear, only more than ten centimeters long, was deeply rooted in the trunk of the tree.
Yutong Shiai is a little distracted. He turned to look at Remilia. Remilia looked at his expression, as if she was very unhappy, snorted coldly, turned around and left. Yutong Shiai still looked sluggish, just looked at the back of the girl leaving, and waited until she disappeared into the woods for a long time, then turned her head a little stiffly, and her eyes stayed on the two sisters and brothers who were kneeling on the ground and crying silently for two seconds.
Then, he also took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then slowly exhaled, opened his eyes, and activated his ability to lift into the air.
Flying off the ground and away from the Monster Mountain, Yutong Shiai's gaze locked on the direction of the Enchanted Forest.
ps: Tired baby. No, six thousand words, conscience.
Tomorrow is a lot of words that have been useless more than a month ago. I! It is! Conscience!
