Chapter 474: The Cracked Mask
"Damn human, either you will kill me, or one day I will make you regret it!!" Lumia, who was tied up by Lemon Flowers, seemed to be in good spirits, originally she thought that Lemon would kill her after subduing her, and it was normal for a witch to kill a youkai.
"I'm afraid it's a bit of a problem, after all, Lemon hasn't killed a wise youkai yet." Wu Ming squatted in front of Lumia, who was now tied by lemons with a special rope, but there was no spell to suppress Lumia, just a few small notes with stupid words and the like tied to the rope.
"Haven't killed a youkai? You're kidding, how can there be a witch who doesn't kill youkai. Rumia said disdainfully, youkai will eat people, and humans will also retreat from youkai, in Gensokyo, it is not a real and complete peaceful coexistence between humans and monsters, there are always some monsters that can't change their habits will attack humans, and at this time, humans will also organize a counterattack, because these things will not make a big fuss, so it will not affect the balance of Gensokyo, if it is big, Hakurei witch will come forward, just like now Lemon settles Rumia.
Lemon has indeed never killed monsters, in Wu Ming's opinion, she is too soft-hearted, even if it is a monster, she can't kill them, since Lemon succeeded the Boli Witch, she has taught the other party a lesson in the way of retreating from the monsters, usually the monsters who have seen the power of the Hakurei Witch will not dare to come out to make trouble again, as for individual special cases, Wu Ming and Yakumo Zi don't mind helping to clean up.
"Master, there's no need to tell her so much, let her reflect here, when I know it's wrong, I'll let her go." Lemon helped the fox mask on her face, which had some cracks on it, probably because she often wore it to fight, so it broke down relatively quickly.
"Brother Wu Ming, why does Grandma have to tie this sister here? Did she do something wrong? Xiao Lingmeng tilted her head and asked, she is still young, it is still a little difficult for her to understand the contradiction between monsters and humans, she only knows that if she makes a mistake, she may be punished.
"Is it wrong? Perhaps, but whose fault is it? Wu Ming glanced at Lumia and returned to Xiao Lingmeng, lightly carrying Xiao Lingmeng on his shoulder, and whispered words that only he could hear, "No one can say wrong, maybe this is the fault of the world." ”
"The fault of the world?" Lumia, who was tied to the tree, read this sentence from the movement of Wu Ming's lips, and for a while she also fell silent, cannibalism was not her own will, but her own racial problems forced her to cannibalize, who could blame her? Maybe it's really the world's fault.
With Wu Ming's hearing, he could naturally hear what Lumia said, but he didn't care, now Lumia needs to calm down, this is not something he can interfere with, if he really wants to say what he can do, the little Lingmeng who is humming on Wu Ming's shoulder may be the person who can help Lumia the most, her innocence is something that Wu Ming never had.
"Lemon, it's not a proper way for you to do this, Lumia is different from the youkai you used to subdue, she can't live without eating people, this is not something that can be changed by her will alone." In the inner hall of Hakurei Shrine, Yakumo Purple opened a gap and appeared next to Lemon.
"And what do you want me to do? Do you let her continue to eat people? It can't be, and I can't kill her. Lemon shook her head, she was also used to the appearance of Yakumo Murasaki, in Gensokyo, Wu Ming and Yakumo Purple are the kind of characters who can appear anywhere at any time.
Lemon and Yakumo Purple have gotten along very well in the past few years, at least now Lemon will no longer call Yakumo Purple Aunt Zi, now in addition to Wu Ming and Xiao Lingmeng, the closest person to Lemon may be Yakumo Purple, and the information that Lemon needs to retreat from the monster is also provided by Yakumo Purple.
"I don't know, I just don't want the unexpected to happen, and you guys too, always think about others, sometimes it's okay to be selfish." Yakumo Zi knows Lemon's character, Lemon She is not willing to hurt others even if she hurts herself, and Yakumo Zi has said this kind of character more than once.
"Don't worry, if there is really anything unexpected, isn't there still you and the master?" Lemon was very relieved, although she hadn't seen Wu Ming and Yakumo Zi when they really did it, but she also knew that these two people were masters outside the specifications, and they were no different from omnipotent gods in the outside world.
"Looks like someone is complimenting me, is it a lemon? Anyway, it's impossible for Zi to praise me" At this time, Wu Ming carried Xiao Lingmeng to the inner hall of the Hakumo Shrine, and Yakumo Zi had no intention of dodging, she knew that with Wu Ming's ability, she must have noticed it when she appeared at the Hakura Shrine, and it was no problem for her gap to spy on other people in Gensokyo, but it was better to deal with Wu Ming, Wu Ming's spatial attainment was stronger than Yakumo Zi, as long as he wanted, it was not difficult to pull Yakumo Zi out of the gap.
"Boss, you've been doing nothing lately, but I've heard that you ruined a beloved toy by Yuka this morning, and that's a shame." Yakumo Zi This is deliberate, and the fact that Kazami Yuka dismantled the assault on freedom (pseudo) was not very pleasant for Wu Ming.
"Forget it, the design drawings are still there anyway, and it can be completed in a few hours just by manufacturing." Wu Ming shrugged, as he said, the most time-consuming thing is actually the design drawings, as for manufacturing, it is really not difficult for Wu Ming, who has the ability to manifest his dreams.
"Would you like to stay and have dinner with us?" Lemon picked up a bag of ingredients and said, Wu Ming and Xiao Lingmeng also bought a lot of food when they went to the human world today, even if they want to make another dinner for two people, it is very simple, it just so happens that Yakumo Zi is here, and Lemon invited her to stay.
"Forget it, I'd better go back to sleep, I'm not hungry." Yakumo Zi stretched, it is rumored that she has to sleep 12 hours a day, Wu Ming doesn't know if this rumor is true or not, because Yakumo Zi spends more than 90% of her time in a day, I'm afraid that no one except Yakumo Blue can know for sure what time Yakumo Zi has.
"Then you go back to sleep slowly." Wu Ming picked up another bag of ingredients and walked into the kitchen, it would be better if Yayun Zi didn't stay here, Wu Ming They can also eat a little more, Xiao Reimu has a food amount that is not commensurate with her size, "I'll show my hand tonight, wait a minute, Reimu." ”
"I'll help you, master." Lemon also followed into the kitchen, although Lemon succeeded the Hakurei witch, but she also had another job as Wu Ming's maid, but many times Wu Ming didn't need her to take care of it, but because of the work of the Hakuri witch, she often had to trouble Wu Ming to take care of Xiao Lingmeng.
"This mask is about to break, so you better not wear it." While cooking in the kitchen, Wu Ming sighed when he saw the cracks on your masks, "It's not comfortable for you to wear a mask all the time, can you stop wearing it in the future, I don't know what you think, but I think it's really tiring to be a person wearing a mask." ”
"It's all right, master, but I think it will make me feel better." Lemon shook her head, helped the mask that had begun to crack, hesitated for a moment and then took it off, "Maybe it's hard to wear, but if I do this, I won't have to face those sights." ”
Because of the fact that the Hakurei shrine maiden has made a living by solving the mutations from generation to generation, even if she doesn't want to, she will be resented by the youkai. In the end, even the same humans are afraid of them. This may be the sorrow of Gensokyo's administrators, there are not many people who can get along with them sincerely, although Lemon has never killed any intelligent youkai or harmed humans, but because of the impression left in people's hearts by the former Hakurei shrine maiden, people are also afraid of Lemon.
Because of this, Lemon wears a mask to escape the gaze around her, and now Lemon only takes off her mask in front of a few people, just like now, but she still wears a mask when she goes out the next day, so there are not many people in Gensokokyo who really know Lemon's true face.
In fact, Lemon is not afraid of people's eyes, but she doesn't want to see people scared because they see herself, every time she sees this kind of scene, she feels uncomfortable, in Wu Ming's words, Lemon is so kind, so kind that she would rather sacrifice herself than hurt others.
"Purple is right, you should be a little selfish sometimes." Wu Ming took the mask from Lemon's hand, a burst of golden light flashed, and the mask that was still very worn just now instantly became as bright as new, "I can repair the damage on this mask, but I can't repair people's fears, to be honest, I don't want you to live like this mask in the future, of course, I can't interfere with your choice, it's also your freedom to do this." ”
