Chapter 53: Death Gamble

Forever Pavilion.

Bayi Yonglin listened to the report of the rabbit demon, pondered for a moment, stretched out his index finger, pointed to the pool beside him, the water rippled, the bright moon reflected on the water surface had disappeared, and what appeared on the pond was the scene in the world.

Bayi Yonglin frowned, and after a while, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, pinched a paper crane casually, and with a slight click, the paper crane flew out.

The paper crane flew some distance into the sky, and a gap opened in the sky to engulf it, Yakumo Zi grabbed the paper crane in the gap, opened it, and Yayi Yonglin's face appeared in front of her.

"What are you going to do?"

"Isn't there already someone going?" Yakumo Zi covered his mouth with a folding fan in his hand, "The affairs of the people are naturally solved by the people themselves." ”

Bayi Yonglin smiled: "But this man is variable, no one can say." ”

The paper crane shows Bai Mingqiu's face.

"Don't worry, you can have your banquet well, and the matter will be resolved in a while." Yakumo Zi said lightly, and then crushed the paper crane in his hand.

Renli is an important core of Yakumo Murasaki's maintenance of Gensokyo, and she will not allow anyone to destroy it, so she naturally wants to firmly control this matter in her own hands.

In a moment, she appeared beside Reimu, and Reimu spotted her early in the morning, and said hello to Mari Sarinsuke, and she walked to a secluded place: "Purple, come out." ”

"Reimu is so sharp." Yakumo Zi lay half on Reimu's back and smiled.

Reimu seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the oppression of such a "murder weapon", shrugged his shoulders and got Yakumo Zi down, and asked, "It's still in the banquet, just tell me if you have anything, I still have to go back." ”

"There's a monster invading people."

"How is it possible, there is an enchantment that I strengthen every year, and besides, don't you also watch" Hakuri Reimu frowned, but the next moment she came up with an answer, "Inner ghost." ”

"Reimu is so smart!" Yakumo Zi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "People are lazy, so the diligent little Lingmeng will help me solve this matter." By the way, the man you care about a little, Bai Mingqiu, rushed over with the two of them. ”

Reimu was puzzled: "Kamishirasawa teacher and Fujiwara sister red? Then there's nothing that can't be solved, just a few little monsters. ”

Yakumo Purple shook her head meaningfully, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth gradually expanded: "It's not what you think." ”

She opened the gap between here and the world, and through the gap, Bo Li Reimu clearly saw that Bai Mingqiu and the three of them were in a stalemate with the bell scroll tower.

"Hostage-taking? This guy is also naΓ―ve, can it really be of any use? Hakuri Reimu said disdainfully.

"Look again." Yakumo Zi shook the folding fan in his hand, "Take a closer look." ”

Hakuri Reimu looked closely.

"Why?" Zhong Juan Lou stared at Bai Mingqiu and screamed, "I just can't get used to your posture, obviously you are at a disadvantage, you are obviously passive now, you lose!" Why? Why do you have to pretend that you don't care and see everything? You can't beg for mercy, you can't cry? Maybe I'll be kind enough to let her go? "

Zhong Juan Lou smiled again: "Jiji, you just asked me what I wanted, right?" "

"Yes."

"Get on your knees. He knelt down in front of me and said, "Lord Kanmaki, spare me, please spare me." I counted to three, and if I didn't, I would have killed her and killed myself. "

"You!" Huiyin and Sister Hong were so angry that they couldn't do it.

"Don't." Bai Mingqiu stretched out his hand to stop the two girls behind him. He patted his knees, knelt down, lowered his head to the ground, and then said lightly: "Lord Zhongjuan, spare your life, please spare me." "

"Bai Mingqiu?" Rao is a character like Boli Reimu, whose heart is as clear as ice and the sky is not shocked, is also extremely surprised at this moment. She asked Yakumo Murasaki, "Who is this girl?" ”

"Enoshima Yuzuki, is a girl that Bai Mingqiu treats as a sister, in my opinion, this girl should like him." Yakumo Zi said lightly, "This girl herself is terminally ill, and it is not easy to live to this age. ”

"Eh, it's been a long time since the world has been so lively, and it's really rare to see such a big scene." Yakumo sighed, "Let's wait and see what happens." ”

"There are no dead people in the village yet, and when things get out of hand, I'm going to go and save all the villagers. I'm sorry if that Enoshima lady suffers because of this. Reimu said lightly.

"You're so cold, Reimu." Purple smiled happily.

"Aren't you too, Purple." Reimu has no expression.

"Huh?" Yakumo Zi suddenly frowned, "Speaking of which, is Yuka gone?" Where did it go? ”

She opened countless gaps in all directions, and found Kazumi Yuka walking alone on the road to the world with a parasol.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Bai Mingqiu knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and Zhong Juan Lou laughed like crazy: "Hahaha Bai Mingqiu, you actually knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, begging for mercy from Lord Zhongjuan! Hahahe ”

"Next, you'll have to agree to my other request." Zhong Juan Lou intensified his efforts and said, "You are going to duel with me." ”

"Duel?"

"Yes, don't you pride yourself in your strength? Don't you look down on me? Aren't you going to choose the third option? Okay, today I'll let you have no choice, you don't have a choice, unless you really don't care about this girl's life. ”

Zhong Juan Lou's left hand was still on Xiyue's throat, and his right hand pulled out a knife from his waist, and his eyes were full of fishy green light.

He stretched out his tongue and licked the blade, his tongue was cut, and there was some blood, but he became even more excited, and said in a deep voice: "Before this, I will cut off your arm." ”

"Zhongjuan Tower, this is the case, you will definitely die, you will die very miserably." Snow-white bangs covered Huiyin's eyes, and no one could see the anger in her eyes.

Mei Hong clenched her fists, and the heat that escaped from it was scorching, she hadn't moved such a big fire for hundreds of years, even Kaguya only thought about retreating when she saw such a Fujiwara sister red, Fujiwara sister red was the kind of strong person who pushed her strength up.

Zhong Juan Lou didn't look at Hui Yin and Mei Hong at all, he stared at Bai Mingqiu, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said: "I injected regular bursts of demonic power into her, if I don't use special techniques to untie it, even if you can untie it, it will take a long time, and she will die long ago at that time." ”

"The bet of the duel is the unraveling technique, if I win, you will definitely die before me, and if I lose, I may sue you for the trick. And you don't have the capital to choose now, only the capital to gamble, and bet on whether I will tell you the trick after the duel. Or you can ask the two of you to kill me right now, and bet if you can detoxify her before she dies. Rest assured, it's only half an hour at most, and you don't have much time to think about it. ”

Saying that, the bell roll tower directly put the setting moon on the ground, and left it alone.

He shouted, "Do you dare to bet? ”

Bai Mingqiu took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"I'm a doctor, let me take a look, right now!"

Bai Mingqiu saw a girl named Xiyue for the first time, and she was in a crisis on the line of life and death.

"Welcome!"

"Hello, is the manager of this store here?"

"Grandpa, the store manager, there is a gentleman looking for you here."

Bai Mingqiu saw the girl named Xiyue for the second time, and what impressed him the most was the eyes like the moon and the innocent smile.

"Hmmm! Benefactor! My name is Enoshima Yuzuki, you can just call me Yuzuki! ”

"Xiyue, are you feeling better after that day?"

"When I woke up that day, I only remembered the voice of my benefactor in my ears"

"How old are you, benefactor?"

"Twenty."

"Then Brother Mingqiu, how about it? Brother Mingqiu~"

Every day after that, a girl can be seen at the door of the tavern, and when he waits for him, he will shout "Brother Mingqiu", he will be very depressed when he doesn't come, and he will be very happy when he comes. In the tavern, he ordered the food and she cooked it in the kitchen, and occasionally fell asleep and watched it, and when he finished cleaning the tavern and woke her up, she always looked embarrassed and embarrassed, and then insisted on taking over the next day's work.

Somewhat clumsy, but cute and warm.

"The seventh day of next month is my birthday, and it is said to be my birthday, but in fact, it is the day when my grandfather picked me up."

Xiyue's birthday arrived, Bai Mingqiu carefully carved two small portraits for her, and the portraits were carved with Xiyue's focused expression when she stood in front of the counter to settle accounts and the smile she showed when she saw the arrival of guests. Yuzuki was very happy, and she cried with joy that day

"I was picked up by my grandfather from outside when I was a child, don't look at me like this, but with my grandfather, now with Brother Mingqiu, the tavern is also thriving, I like the life I have now, accompanied by my grandfather, and Brother Mingqiu, listening to the laughter and laughter of everyone drinking and eating in the tavern, I think I can feel energetic, and my congenital bad body is also a lot more energetic~!"

"That's good."

Then that night, he confided in his heart for the first time.

"Sunset."

"Huh?"

"Freedom... Want to give it a try? "

"Brother Mingqiu... What are you talking about? "

"Freedom... Even if it's a fake, even if it's only for a moment, I have to hold it in the palm of my hand. "

That night he flew with her, and flew very high.

And with that kind of smile, there's no reason not to risk your life to protect it.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Bai Mingqiu suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and said categorically: "Come on." ”

Zhong Juan Lou showed an evil smile that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, the sword flashed demonically, Bai Mingqiu's left arm had already fallen to the ground, blood sprayed out, and he didn't show the slightest pain on his face, but the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

"Mingqiu!" Mei Hong and Huiyin were very distressed and shouted in unison.

Bai Mingqiu panted slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Hong, Huiyin, don't worry. ”

He was burned red all over, and fine and dense granulations had begun to grow from the broken wound on his left arm, which seemed to heal in a few minutes.

"Let me solve the problem with my own hands. Soon, soon it will be fine. ”

The phoenix projection looming behind Bai Mingqiu became clearer and clearer.

The red eyes looked at the bell roll tower expressionlessly, a little on tiptoe, and punched at a lightning speed, setting off a violent wind.

"Get you on your way."
