Chapter 142: The Human Cage
January 3, 3 a.m
(I did at least a week's labor in one day) Chong walked away in a hurry by moonlight
(Hands and feet are extremely tired, this state is not good) Chong tried to concentrate his mind, although this trail is safer, but be careful, after all, night is the best time for youkai to move
"It's hard work~" A warm female voice came from behind
“!” Chong quickly turned his head to see Yakumo standing behind him with an umbrella
"What's the matter" Chong relaxed slightly, but his nerves were still in a tense state
"It's too late, I'm worried about you~" Yakumo Zi chuckled "I'll take you to the edge of the enchantment"
"Casually" Chong continued to walk forward
"You've become very harmonious with all of you in Gensokyo," Yakumo Murasaki didn't mind walking side by side with him, "It's no problem to stay here."
"No," Chong replied categorically
"Really? Then forget it" Yakumo Murasaki did not continue the topic "We haven't communicated separately for a long time, do you have any questions you want to ask?" ”
"This bottle of medicine" Chong took out the potion that was already half empty
"Ahhh
"It's not a potion," Chong said, "It's a magic liquid."
"Magic Liquid? Sorry, I don't know much about things on the magic side, "Yakumo Purple Surprise" maybe it's called differently? ”
"Magic liquid is a prop needed to construct great magic" Chong turned his head and looked directly at Yakumo Zi for a long time, and then turned his head back, "The main role is to construct a magic array"
"Well, say a little more," Yakumo said with a frown
Of course, you can't take it lightly, this guy is a big monster, and he's very cunning
"Generally speaking, the magic array needs a kind of carrier as the basis, the summoning system is blood or gems, the destruction system is the corpse, and the teleportation system is the magic power" Chong stops, and if the magic liquid is used as the base, its role is to transfer"
"Transfer?" Yakumo Zi said with a solemn expression, "Say more"
"I don't know, there are too many categories of magic arrays, I can't explain it before I see the finished product" Chong sped up his pace, but the scope of application should be large, but the destination will not be far, the largest is only ten kilometers"
"Very important information" Yakumo Zi nodded, "Thank you"
"No, it's fine," Chong nodded, and continued to look ahead
"Na," Yakumo said again after being silent for a while
"What?" Chong replied
"You care about Gensokyo"
"I can't talk about it, it's just not bad," Chong said something inexplicable
"Is it~ But you always have a straight face, I thought you hated it here~"
"Genetic"
"But she's not paralyzed."
"Her daughter is not paralyzed, and I wasn't born"
"Ahhh Do you have any photos for my sister to see~"
"No, no," Chong shook his head, "Neither did you cry"
"Shy?"
"Yes"
"It must be cute~"
"No, I forgot about it"
"Will you forget too?"
"Yes, I'll forget too"
"It's almost there," Yakumo Murasaki stopped suddenly
“?” Chongya stopped, and then frowned and looked at the ancient tree in front of him, "There is still a road ahead"
"No, no," Yakumo chuckled and shook her head, "That's it"
"There's something in this tree," Chong said as he approached
"Yes, there are bones, just like the westward demon" Yakumo Murasaki also approached "the bones of the monster"
"Is your life at the end of your life?" Chong's eyes were indifferent, "It's not eternal life after all"
"Do you envy eternal life?"
"No, I hate eternal life, it's always too terrible" Chong rarely said the terrible word "Man will become paranoid in eternal life, and then go crazy and lose his faith"
"You can also say faith," Yakumo chuckled, covering her mouth
"Faith," Chong changed his words hesitantly
"No need to change, what you said is indeed right, whether it is a human or other higher beings, eternity is a terrible thing for them" Yakumo Zi stroked the towering ancient tree in front of him, "Some people will self-destruct themselves in eternity, while others are crazy about pursuing their dreams, I should belong to the latter, otherwise I will die with them"
"I'll go first," Chong interrupted, "It's too late"
"Don't you want to listen to the memories of an old man" Yakumo Zi smiled lightly, "I really don't know how to be polite"
"It has nothing to do with me," Chong shook his head
"Ah, then let's talk about something related to you," Yakumo Purple said, do you want to stay? ”
"You can live anywhere, I will let people cut out a piece of land in the world, or let people from other forces take care of you, the Red Devil Pavilion is good, if you like the oriental style, go to my house, just do things to repay the loan, Bai Yulou? Well, Yuyuko will be happy in this way, but you will work too hard, don't think about Shouya Shrine, and Hakurei Shrine is not good, oh, the Forest of Magic is too dangerous, and you can't want to live in the dark underground, right? Before Chong could speak, Yakumo Zi said like a cannon
Chong looked directly at Yakumo again, and then spoke
"I refuse"
"Is it still like this," Yakumo sighed, "Is the outside world okay?" ”
"No, human greed and ugliness are everywhere, the sound of artillery fire is enough to drown out the music, and the smoke of gunfire turns the sky into blood," Chong shook his head
"Do you have someone you love in the outside world?"
"No, what is love?"
"What do you have in mind in the outside world?"
"No, the past is like a cloud, I don't want to write it down"
"Is there something you'd like to do?"
"Yes" very affirmative reply "very important"
"Then forget it," Yakumo Murasaki smiled helplessly, "I wish you a pleasant trip"
Chong didn't respond, but pulled the knife out of its sheath and turned away
"The way you open the door is really funny" came from behind Yakumo's laughter
"It's already lucky to have such a key in this world, and there's nothing interesting or interesting," Chong said indifferently
"Aren't you afraid of losing too much blood?"
"Of course I'm afraid," Chong stopped the blade in his hand on his fingers, "but sometimes the scars can't be escaped"
"For example, at this time" the voice became incoherent, and the black touch. The hand penetrates the abdomen, the whole body's trachea may be whining, and the brain is warning its own body
The "clang" knife slipped from his hand, and then Chong fell weakly under the tree
"Sure enough," Chong said after covering his abdomen, gasping heavily, "you really want to kill me"
"I also know" Yakumo Murasaki closed the umbrella "You know I'm going to kill you, but why don't you run away"
"Because I can't escape," Chong barely stood up, "and I can't stop it"
"Why can't you stop it," Yakumo Zi said softly, "As long as you say yes, you should lie in bed and sleep now, and then wait for me to pick you up tomorrow."
"Because my answer is always no," Chong covered the wound in his abdomen
"Why?" Yakumo Zi was surprised: "How good is the outside world?" What they can do, Gensokyo can do."
"There is science in the outside world, tanks and airplanes, trains and ships, and we have kappa here, and they are a hundred times more intelligent than the outside world."
"There are magic, rune spells, hidden servant monsters in the outside world, and we also have excellent magicians here, whether it is the Red Devil Pavilion or the Magic Forest, those witches can be used as teachers to spread knowledge"
"Treasure? There are countless antiquities in Gensokyo, but what is not a rare treasure? ”
"Population? There is no war in Gensokyo, and the lifespan of the strong is a thousand times that of humans, and it won't be long before they are exhausted in the war, and we will return to the human world, so why don't you join us? ”
"Heh," Chong let out a slight mocking sound, "That's it? ”
"That's it" Yakumo Murasaki looked down at Chong as he half-crouched "There are still a lot of left, but you can't listen to them now"
"Then I'll never listen to it for the rest of my life" Chong coughed up a mouthful of blood, and a feeling of tiredness and coma came to his brain together
"You're too stubborn, you can get a lot here, you can get Yakumo's surname, that's status"
"You can be the sage of Gensokyo, that's power"
"You can marry anyone in Gensokyo, that's beauty"
"You can own land, that's money"
"You can get a qiē that you have never had, including your family"
"Hmph," Chong let out a cold snort, "Is this a charity, big youkai?" ”
"Call me a sage, a sage from Gensokyo" Yakumo Murasaki also said coldly, "Human, I'm not asking, I'm commanding, kneeling is life, standing is death"
"You've been kneeling down all your life, why don't you die," Chong said mockingly, "Youkai, what is it that gives you confidence?" Give you the right to compare with humans? ”
"You are an inferior species, born only worthy of slavery, you are only prey, you are only a sample, you are just a despicable and lowly dog, kneel? You guys deserve it too?! ”
"It seems that there is no need to keep your hands" Yakumo Murasaki's eyes were full of murderous intent, "You don't look like her son at all, you're just a demon, mongrel!" ”
"You're not like someone she knows," Chong bit the word "human" very hard, "You're just a waste of history indulging, sage?" ”
"I think you're more like a clown!"
"Daring!" With a wave of his hand, Yakumo Zi pierced Chong's limbs with several spikes, and the huge impact directly pinned him to the tree, "Human, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" Your life is as cheap as grass mustard."
"Poof" Chong spat out a mouthful of blood, but his eyes were still staring at him
"If you have the ability," Chong Leng said coldly, "I wrote an email before I came, which described in detail all the conditions of Gensokyo, the gap in the barrier, the location of the entry, and the dogs living in it, otherwise why do you think I deliberately stepped through various places every time?" You don't dare to show your head, do you?"
"Humph!" Yakumo Zi sneered, and the spikes carved into the trees for three points, "I can find out the situation of your family, do you think I will give you this opportunity?" ”
"Who told you, I wrote it in my own room," Chong's mouth began to explode with blood, "I planted viruses in thousands of network ports, and if I don't disarm them, they will detonate the databases of various countries like a bomb, and of course it contains that email, I can do this kind of thing."
"Remove it immediately!" Yakumo Zi angrily reprimanded, "Otherwise, I'll make you a puppet!" ”
"You can try" Chong's eyes were full of mockery, "I have a bomb hidden in my body, as soon as I am unconscious, I will detonate it as soon as I am unconscious, even if you don't give me time, it doesn't matter, as long as my heartbeat is lower than the average then my brain will slowly sleep, and if my heartbeat stops, it will not be able to wake up again, all you can get is an empty shell"
"What a genius," Yakumo sneered, "I actually cut off all my retreats first"
"Fight against the water," Chong said coldly, "Of course, I can't die in your hands."
"Want to make a deal?"
"No, it's an order" There is too much bad blood flow, and I am afraid that the disease is about to recur, and it cannot be delayed any longer
"Let me leave, and then no more contact with me, then I will remove the virus day by day" Chong took a few breaths, "at most eight months, all the viruses will disappear completely, they will break out according to the time, as long as I release them regularly, it will be absolutely safe"
"Human, count you as a winner" touch. The hand retracts back into the gap
"Ahem!" Chong, whose back was rubbed with a bloody stain on the tree, stared at her with near-godless eyes, as if to symbolize his indomitability
"Get out of Gensokyo, and then disappear forever in my eyes" Yakumo Murasaki stepped into the gap "Human"
"I don't need you to talk nonsense," Chong said coldly, "Youkai"
(It seems that you are really her son, and would rather die than submit to me)
(It seems that you are really a monster sage, and anyone will kill for the sake of the clan)
(Farewell)
"Poof, cough, cough, cough!" Chong covered his mouth and nose, blood pouring from his fingers
"The condition of the body is getting worse day by day" Chong said to himself, "If you are injured, you will vomit blood, and from time to time your body will become numb, and you will become a frequent drinker, but the sword in your hand will become sharper and sharper, the jade will gradually be thorough, and the mirror will be smooth."
"Yakumo Zi doesn't know the effect of that bottle of medicine, she doesn't even know that the door of Gensokyo can't be opened at this time" Chong said lightly, "She only knows that she almost killed me, she really killed me, I have no ability to resist now, and only three people know my condition, and know that I am here, in this cage, I can't escape"
"So, don't you want to do it yet?"
"Papapapa" came from the darkness, applauding, "Where did you know my deposit~"
"Does it matter" Chong didn't even want to take out the medicine bottle, "Do you care?"
"It's really rude, of course I have to understand the situation of the chess pieces clearly" The white-robed young man slowly walked from the shadows, "isn't it?"
"There was still a glimmer of hope," Chong said mockingly, "I really don't deserve it."
"That's your last word?" The young man smiled
"Then, let's die" The next moment Magatama freezes time, and the light mirror blocks the space
And the broken sword ――――――
Pierced Chong's heart
