Chapter 41: Dark Tide
The Forever Pavilion Vientiane Exhibition is still in full swing.
- Enchanted Forest
It was close to noon, and although the sun was getting brighter, it could not shine into the shade at all, and the trees that shaded the sky made the forest impervious to sunlight, and an eerie atmosphere permeated the air.
The figure of the bell roll tower gradually appeared in the shadows, he moved the joints of his neck, his body twisted into a strange arc, and then stretched his arms, the joints made a terrible rattling sound, and the corners of his mouth slowly showed a satisfied smile.
Making a deal with these monsters is not only awkward and unbearable, but the power in exchange is real, and this kind of power is completely different from the previous self.
He clenched his fists, and the power in his hands was strong enough to give him the illusion that he could pinch and explode.
Bai Mingqiu, this time, you must die.
Personal strength may not be enough, my bell roll tower is not stupid to that point, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, even if I am not inferior to you in terms of strength now, but all preparations must be made.
And... Here's what the deal is about.
There was a rare flash of hesitation in the gaze of the bell scroll tower, but it was quickly replaced by a gloomy light.
He put his fingers in his mouth and blew a long, sharp whistle.
“————”
Something was constantly wriggling in the shadows, something was constantly shuttling in the grass, something was surging in the darkness of the entire Enchanted Forest.
A pair of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness, followed by countless pairs.
"Zhongjuanlou, what you promised should be fulfilled."
"That's why I came to you." The tone of the bell roll tower was a little impatient.
"Let's get started now." The voice was muffled and hoarse.
Zhongjuanlou said in a deep voice: "After nightfall, listen to my orders, don't disobey, and I'll get what you want." ”
The hoarse voice of "......" did not move for a long time.
- After half a ring: "Okay, three and a half hours to go." ”
"Old thing, the outside world has long started to use hours to time, so outdated, no wonder your situation is worse day by day, what's the use of having strength? It's up to me to make ends meet. Zhong Juan Lou did not hesitate to sneer at these "old things", although his strength was obtained by these fellows, but his rebellious nature made him not give these things a good face at all.
They didn't seem to care, and the red light in the shadows faded and lay dormant.
The bell curl's disdainful expression was not until they all left, and they relaxed slightly, looking a little tired.
Sure enough, trading with these old things is walking on the edge of a knife, and it's like gambling with your life.
That's right, "they" are the so-called youkai, inhabiting the darkest corners of the enchanted forest, with great power and cannibalistic xenomorphs. Bell Roll Tower began to contact and trade with these monsters a long time ago, and before it was just some monster lair information, monster foraging routes and other things that could make meritorious contributions to the Self-Defense Forces, until the Bell Roll Tower fell into the hands of Bai Mingqiu and absconded out of the village, his first thought was this group of monsters, and he began to try to contact the unknown power of monsters.
The initial transaction between the bell roll tower and the monsters, only used a few missing people every month in exchange for some information, and then gained benefits in the self-police team, but after the bell roll tower left the people, the monsters could not get humans as rations, originally the bell roll tower must have been eaten by the monsters, but he was prepared, he pinched the weakness of the monsters.
This monster has been living in the enchanted forest for nearly a hundred years, and it is declining, and this winter has not even been relied on to survive the winter, and if it continues like this, it is in danger of extinction, and the bell scroll tower throws a dangerous but juicy bait to them at this time - the world of the world.
There are a lot of strong people in Gensokyo, these things, ordinary humans may not know, but as a special organization in the world, the self-police force knows something, and Zhongjuanlou, as a middle and high-level person, naturally knows something. Fujiwara Meihong and Kamishirasawa Huiyin are the two biggest umbrellas in the world, they have been protecting the world for hundreds of years, if the two of them are not removed, then the plan of the bell roll tower is equivalent to a fool's dream, and it will not be able to lure these monsters at all, because these monsters have also tasted the methods of these two people in a hundred years.
But since he already had a plan, how could he not think of this, this plan is all about time. Last year, the world just held the Moon Vientiane Exhibition, and this year's Moon Vientiane Exhibition has been set, on October 30th, just over a month from his escape from the world, on the day of the Moon Vientiane Exhibition, almost all young adults in the world will visit, and because this exhibition is held by a strong man who lives in the lost bamboo forest, all the strong people in Gensokyo will be invited to come, last year Fujiwara Meihong and Kamishirasawa Huiyin have been there, presumably this year will also go, Then the most defenseless moment in the whole world was at that time.
The bell roll tower has already figured out the time schedule of the Yuedu Vientiane Exhibition, and then threw this bait to the monsters, knowing that it is emotional and reasonable, coupled with the urgency of survival, it is not worried that they will not agree.
The content of the transaction between the two sides is very simple, Zhongjuanlou leads the monsters to captivate humans in the human world as food for the winter, and the monsters provide the cultivation method of the power of the monsters in the Zhongjuanlou and the right to drive low-level monsters.
Now, the time has come, and the first moment the sun sets tonight and the night falls, the demon tide will rise.
Zhongjuanlou suppressed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, tried his best to imagine the scene after the completion of the work, gritted his teeth and continued to wait for the night to come.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A pair of blood-red and miserable green eyes in the shadows lit up in a place that could not be seen in the bell scroll tower, and the unbearable scorching light gradually filled the space, and the sound of Suo Suo gradually sounded.
"Lowly humans are so arrogant to us."
"It's okay, it's just a matter of using him, and I'll collect his body when I'm done."
"Humans are the food of youkai in the first place."
"yes."
"yes."
"Let's see if his mouth stinks when he's dead."
"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry."
"Kill all, eat all."
“…”
The youkai gradually began to get restless.
Zhong Juan Lou was a little apprehensive in his heart.
For some reason, he remembered Yamato Sugita who took the opportunity to flee last night, although he asked the youkai to go after him, but he didn't find anyone after all, and he escaped.
And Bai Mingqiu, even if he is so prepared, can he really face that man who does not move in the eight winds?
Damn, I'm starting to doubt myself at this time.
Zhong Juan slapped himself hard and spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, as if it was proof that he bit his tongue to settle down.
There are still six hours to go.
