Chapter 331: The Day After Tomorrow
June 3, 2 a.m
"Congratulations~ This time, you can be out of the limelight in front of everyone" Yakumo Zi stopped herself on the way back, "So what kind of status did you get~"
"It has nothing to do with you" Chong wanted to get out of the way, but Yakumo still stood in front of him and didn't let him go
"I'm curious, if you don't have someone to help you, then how far can you go" Yakumo Zi looked at himself who was already in a state of annoyance and chuckled, "You should know that it is difficult to climb to a high position by just relying on one person to be down-to-earth, and this world needs cooperation~"
"I've already worked with you"
"That's right~ So I'm here to thank you~" Yakumo Zi handed the key hanging on his chest to Chong, "Take it"
"That's the key she left in the depths of the mausoleum a few days ago, why give it to herself now?
"I said that the value of the lock is higher than the contents inside, and of course the key is the same" Yakumo Murasaki covered her mouth with a folding fan, "Now that the lock is gone, keep the key for you as a souvenir"
"I don't need this souvenir," Chongyi let go and let it fall to the ground, then lifted his foot and stepped on it
"Don't spoil it~" Yakumo Zi reached out and lifted himself open, "Sometimes souvenirs are more precious than so-called treasures"
"Since you don't want me, I won't give it away, I don't have anything else to give you, and I can't invite you, a minor, to have a glass of wine" Yakumo Zi wiped the key and hung it back around his neck, "What I want has been obtained, and now that the turmoil has passed, I can't stay here anymore"
"Don't send" Chong walked past her
"Want to know what I'm going to get?" Yakumo asked behind her back
"No fun"
"The bones of the ancestors of the Yuyun family"
“!!!” Chong immediately turned around and rushed towards her
"Y-You found it?!" Chong became anxious for the first time, "Why are you going to look for this!" ”
"If you didn't guess wrong, the original owner of the mark on your hand should have talked to you about it," Yakumo pointed to the snake pattern on his sleeve, "It escaped from under the mausoleum with the help of the body of an emperor, and then its martyred samurai took something out of the coffin but didn't take it with him."
"There are three coffins that have been damaged, one of them is an empty coffin, not used to bury people but to calm the gods" Yakumo Zi shook the key around his neck "The body had disappeared three hours before the coffin was opened, that was because it was empty inside, and then someone pushed the coffin open from the inside because it broke the ban and forcibly escaped from under the mausoleum when there was still a physical body, the snake saw its original appearance, and the samurai who was buried then planned to reseal it again with the "tool" hidden under the mausoleum, It's a pity he doesn't have that right to touch."
"What are you trying to express" Chong already had a rough idea of what was going on, but he wasn't sure if it was true
"It's okay to say your guesses, you're also looking for his bones, but you haven't found them for a long time" Yakumo Zi showed a smile that made him smile, "That's because he was buried under the mausoleum as a foundation, what a great self-sacrifice~"
"That's it.,The "thing" I need is his bones.,And then the "quality" I need is also ready.,Now the witches will reopen the enchantment after repairing the enchantment.,As a big monster, I can't stay for long" Yakumo Purple retracted his body into the gap, "Do you want to come with me, I can't perform the same performance a second time"
"You're going to bury his bones under the barrier?"
"Smart, he's the perfect material, of course, don't tell the people of the Yun family about this news, pull the hook~" Yakumo Zi shook his little thumb and chuckled, "Then this time it's really goodbye, remember to say hello to your mother for me"
"Lady Zi, isn't it good to do this?" Yakumo Lan hurriedly greeted her when she came back, "This will only cause trouble that shouldn't be there, Lord Purple, you should know that those bones are ......"
"Of course I know, of course he knows, only the so-called world doesn't know" Yakumo Zi closed the gap, she would not be able to take another step out of Gensokyo in the future except for fixed "shopping" "He was not a saint when he was alive, and how could humans waste the remains of their ancestors like this"
"It's a fake, but I get faintly disgusted when I think of that name, Blue, bury this thing in the Void Mound," Yakumo Purple pointed to the stove pot on the coffee table in the room in disgust, "Let it never think about it again for the rest of its life"
"Yes, and Lord Zi, do you need my help to solve the things you brought out of the mausoleum?"
"No, I'm back with the key," Yakumo shook the key around her neck
"It's no different from the previous one, huh?" Yakumo Blue suddenly let out a startled cry as the key was changing from its original transparent color to bright red
"The key to the Nine Heart Lock sucks human blood when it sees it, and now it has the most versatile key in the world" Yakumo Zi chuckled and untied the key from his neck, "The rest is just a matter of time, and I will be able to decipher the history inside in about three months."
"Yes, then I'll quit first," Yakumo Lan bowed, and then left the Lost House with the stove in his arms
"Well, taking advantage of the fact that it made a big fuss in the past few days, the sealed entrances were all sealed, and the rest was to continue to live the same life" Gensokyo in about five months ago, that is, before the arrival of the Shouya Shrine, and shortly after the Eternal Court incident, there was a flower-blooming mutation, the cause was that the guide of the Santu River was lazy, and the ghosts attached to the flowers could not cross the river, although she and Kazami Yuka both felt that it was no big deal, but Shiki-eihime directly came forward to let the two of them solve the incident, Although the words are very gentle, but at that time she needed to solve the place where the Shouya Shrine was sitting.,Yuxiang went instead, and it turned out that because the fate with the flower was too deep, and it was inexplicably regarded as the culprit.,Although she herself enjoyed it.
However, this is not the case.,This qiē is because of the great enchantment mutation in Gensokyo once every sixty years.,The original explanation is that the number of ghosts in the outside world will increase greatly every sixty years.,But it's actually because the number of ghosts found by Gensokyo's enchantment is thin.,She hit it off with Onozuka Komachi in order to secretly open the way to hell to investigate the location of the ghost (the location of the thin enchantment), and she hit it off with Onozuka Komachi.,She was happy to rest and didn't want to meet directly with Shikihime.,But things are not easy., Some of the places where the enchantment is thin are close to the danger zone, and it is difficult for him and Reimu to come forward, so he can only helplessly see if there are any ancient monsters in the outside world who are arrogant enough to dare to attract the attention of humans, and who knows the rest of the things in the end
"Sleeping" herself is like this, for these little things can also be merciless to make the most trouble, because she can't let small things become big things, she is very scared and timid, hundreds of years of stability and order can never allow anything to destroy it
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― celebration feast?
"The boss is out of the limelight this time! Congratulations Boss! "Cerberus was alive and kicking on the ground, and he wasn't afraid to make people sleep
It's so late, but a few of the tenants in the house haven't slept, and even the four departments, who need a normal schedule, have been a bad student -- she came back to sleep after asking for leave in the middle of the day, and I really don't know who taught her
"I don't need you to celebrate, everyone who should go to sleep should go to sleep," Chong said irritably, scratching his hair
"It's tsundere again~" Kurumi Tokizaki turned off the light in the living room and lit a candle on the table, "Think about our mood, don't you know how uncomfortable it is to stay for dinner at two o'clock in the morning?"
"A group of crazy people" originally thought that those were their own dinners on the table, and said why they suddenly made so many more today, and it turned out that they were eating together
(If I do this to me again, I may not be willing to leave) but it's just talking, and the blueprint that has been planned for nearly five years will not be destroyed by the warmth of the moment, but they are really difficult for people to push away
"Please, please sit down!" The four series tried to raise their voices to make a fierce appearance, but it only made people feel cute, "Please rest today!" ”
"I can't have so many breaks ......"
"Okay, sit down~" Mengmeng forcibly pushed herself to the dinner table, of course, because she let her, so she could push "I must be obedient today~"
"Why am I doing such a thing, ahem! Come, blow out the candles," Nimfu held the cake in front of her in a silver tray
Chong, who was surrounded by Tamamo and Nana, could only take a deep breath and blow out the candle
"Hurry up, hurry up, sue us what kind of official you have been~" Nana is very concerned about this issue
"The Governor of the Third Fleet" Chong took out the signed appointment letter from his arms, "I was originally a member of the parliament, but I don't participate in politics, so they changed their idle positions"
"What else?"
"Some appropriate security benefits" I was not even allowed to buy insurance before, but this time after taking up the official position on the surface, all kinds of insurance have come one after another, so in this case, there will be one more multimillionaire in the world in three months, right?
"What do you mean by idleness, doesn't your governor do anything all day?"
"What the Japanese Governor has to do is to supervise a sea area, the Third Fleet refers to the sea area where they are anchored is transferred by me, and a series of ships such as fishery administration, warships, and submarines must be reported to the Governor before they can be deployed, and at the same time, the Governor's Mansion is a sea port for repairing, building, and mooring ships, I originally wanted to refuse, but someone told me that I just need to go to the Governor's Palace the day after tomorrow to find a secretary ship."
"Secretarial ship?"
"I don't know either" secretary ship refers to something similar to a lucky ship? It should refer to the secretary in the port, but why add the word "ship" at the end? And the acquaintances who were present at the time patted themselves on the shoulder with a look of envy, what happened? He had indeed heard that the profession of governor was very popular and that he could definitely find a wife, but he did not know exactly what that was
"Anyway, congratulations, master Sama~ The hard work of the past few days has finally paid off~" Tamamo stepped forward with an excited face, "The day when the master Sama married me like this"
"Let's eat"
"Why do you want to change the conversation so quickly!!
(Why don't you tell you another thing they said to you, I think it's very important to them) Ji Si Xiu said hiding in the shadows, obviously she had been exposed, but she still didn't want to face people
(There's nothing to say, the life they're living now is the same even if they don't have this order) She was talking about a pass given to her by the military department and Ise Jingu at the same time, and the tenants living in her house were unusual, so she needed to report their behavior every once in a while, and this pass gave him enough freedom to act, which was really what he wanted
(Then follow you, this time the table xiàn is good, I admire you very much) Ji Si Xiu smiled and stopped talking, and there was a doughnut in the shadow
(Even if you climb to a high position) look at the lively scene at the dinner table and be silent, what you want is not something that can be obtained by status and power, because you can't disclose it to others, so power is useless, all he needs is to exchange money for information, and all he can do is do it himself, and don't want to do these things for others to see
(As a result, in the end, I might as well become a monster) Chong laughed at himself in his heart, how free monsters are, as long as they have the strength, they can make trouble at will, the big deal is to die, how happy, and he can only step on the heads of these so-called free monsters and climb up, how many people have they killed? I don't remember, I just know that it will be uncomfortable, how many monsters have you killed? I don't want to remember it, I just know that there will be no guilt after killing them
I know that killing only a hundred people is not as cost-effective as killing one yokai, because humans are common, while yokai (weird) are not common
postscript
"Troublesome guys" a group of people ate a meal and actually ate the sunrise, and then no one cared about themselves, Tamamo drank a few bottles of sake sent by others and went back to the room to rest in a daze, it seems that he was really drunk, otherwise he would not have left a mess to clean up alone, Ji Si Xiuta probably fell asleep when the sun first came out, Cerberus was held by the four series and went back to the room early to rest, as for the others, no one would drink, but they were sleepy so they fell asleep on the table and died
"Well, you have succeeded in seizing the opportunity this time, right" Just as he was packing up the dishes and chopsticks, he heard a female voice outside the door, "Everyone is cheering for you, everyone in the academy will not say anything bad about you, you are a hero now"
"You know I'm not in politics, and I'm not interested in commanding the military, and I don't care what people say in private."
"I'm referring to private.,I've heard the information that Ise Jingu is starting to rob people.,You, who have a relationship with weirdness, are at the top of their hearts."
"What can it be?"
"Don't take the wrong path, if you want to step on multiple boats, you have to pay a deeper price, you still don't know anything about politics"
"I know I'm not going to anyone's side for a while."
"You just have to stand right, no one can stop the spread of power" After a moment, the footsteps drowned out the voices of the voices "Now that line between the circles has begun to crumble, a small chip can tip the scales to anyone's side, especially you, your weight is now heavier than the scales"
"It's a declaration, I'll fight you before the war starts, I hope you don't fall too soon, goodbye"
"Forget it" continued to clean up the dishes and chopsticks in front of him, he would no longer be flustered now, there was no need to deliberately remember these, and he should have more colors in his life
As long as I can continue to live like I am now, even for a moment, it is enough
