“……”
What she wanted to say made Otinus swallow it back, and her eyes became slightly wary.
The shade in the bookstore is still undiminished, and the light is a little dim because the lights are not on. This wasn't the case before, but recently the street has been renovated, and nearby buildings now block out the sun's skewed rays—
It's nice that Aresta has left the bookstore untouched, but there's no reason to take into account the lighting conditions inside the bookstore in terms of urban planning.
And although Shangjo Danma has been cleaning here, it is obvious that he usually has no extra mood to stay, so he didn't care about it.
However, for the one-eyed demon god girl, these things are not things at all.
Not to mention that the store was just cool and dim, even if it was pitch black and completely devoid of light, it would not affect her observation.
She naturally has the five senses of sight, hearing, and touch, but her perception does not only rely on such sensory perception.
So she was pretty sure that just now she lowered her head to ponder and then raised her head, and in that short few seconds, there was no movement.
Otinus didn't notice when Muxiu left here, and he didn't notice when the girl in the pure white kimono appeared, so there was only one explanation.
After all, he is a demon god, well-informed, and in the countless times that countless worlds have been born and destroyed, he has not seen anything strange and strange.
Therefore, she was not too surprised by such a possibility, but her good-looking eyebrows were slightly raised, and even if they returned to normal, they were not silent at all on the surface.
Because she couldn't be sure if this was a manifestation of another possible image of the other person, or simply another side of existence itself.
The difference is quite huge, after all, if it is only the former, then it is just like in myths and legends, those divine immortals and Buddhas incarnate hundreds of billions of people, walking in the world with different appearances, but this is just "appearanceless Taoism".
Just like the expression of "the past and the future are the same" and "infinite time and space coexist", "disappearance and Taoism" are nothing more than a mythical feature.
Even if there are hundreds of billions of avatars and different clones, it will not have any effect on the essence. It is like a towering giant tree, with countless branches and roots, but it is not rooted in ordinary soil, but entrenched in time and space.
And the countless branches and roots of the tree, intertwined, are also extending in the direction of countless space-time dimensions, and what people in any time and space can observe is only a cross-section of a branch or a tree root in time.
– so the results of observations are often varied, infinite, and ubiquitous.
But in any case, the cross-section of these roots and branches is a part of the body of the tree of time and space, no matter how it is transformed, this essence is an ironclad fact, and it will not be easily changed.
However, if it is the other side of existence itself, then it needs to be a little more cautious.
Because to put it bluntly, this is likely to be somewhat similar to the dual personality of ordinary people, and although the dual personality is not necessarily harmful, it is undeniable that this aspect is indeed a little more dangerous.
So Otinus didn't speak rashly, just frowned and observed the girl in a pure white kimono—
The breath is gentle and calm, without any difference.
I don't feel the danger, but I can't say anything.
There is no power, but this is precisely the embodiment of power beyond the concept of "power".
Just as she was frowning and thinking this, the girl in the pure white kimono had already stopped, she stretched out her slender hand and pulled a book out of the shelf, gently put it aside, and then turned a book that she didn't know what to put back in its place.
Then, as if she had only appeared to do this, she turned around and walked straight out the door.
"Gui'an."
On the way, she whispered this to Othinus, who was sitting at the counter.
“…… Gui'an. ”
Squinting her eyes slightly, the one-eyed girl whispered back, and then watched the girl in a pure white kimono walk into the store and go out into the street.
Not the same, it seems...... Personality?
Otinus didn't say anything, just lowered her head and thought about it, and then she seemed to catch something.
Immediately afterward, the girl, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, jumped out of her chair and ran to the bookshelf where the kimono girl had just stood. Then she stood on tiptoe, raised her hands, and grabbed the book.
The moment her fingertips touched the spine of the book, the one-eyed girl raised her eyebrows slightly, as she sensed some unusual fluctuation sweeping over her entire existence in an instant.
Next, there is the feeling of some kind of force being activated, about to suck yourself through.
The surrounding scenery began to blur as if a layer of filter effects had been added.
It's not just that the space scenery is blurred, even time seems to have stopped at this moment, it's just a moment of time for ordinary people, but it's enough for the demon god boy to look carefully and think clearly-
Because she could clearly see the runes woven into some kind of rule in the void, one link after another, and she was not unfamiliar with it, because it was the original rune script, which seemed to have been imprinted in the gap between time and space by someone.
This is a precursor to the impending displacement of space-time, and the essence of the book seems to be a hidden teleportation portal that leads to no one else.
However, if Eutinus wanted to, she could terminate the process at any time...... But what reason did she have to stop it?
Although it is not clear what kind of destination is on the opposite side of this waypoint, there is no reason for the other party to set up such a node for pure fun, so Otinus wants to go over and have a look.
Besides, no matter what kind of place she is on, she has the confidence that she can face everything without any taboos. After all, as long as the "Spear of the Lord God" is in her hand, she is a complete demon god with unlimited power.
Unless she met a god in the true sense of the word, she didn't feel like she was in any danger.
But this is impossible, after all, one has already met, the other is wrestling with the former, and both sides are denying each other. As long as this situation does not change for a day, then there can be no other god in this world.
- To be precise, there are no other gods in Mussiu's "world".
Now that Eutinus has met Musiu, isn't the "world" she knows to be obvious enough? Therefore, no matter which universe or time and space she runs to, it is impossible for her to encounter the existence of another god, and it is impossible for the other party to target the attack.
Because unless Mu Xiu no longer denies the existence of the other party, or is it ...... The other side has already won this confrontation. But neither of these two possibilities should be of interest to Eutinus.
Therefore, she didn't feel any danger at all, but just wanted to explore with interest.
Therefore, she did not have any resistance, but obediently let the force pull her over - as if a flower in front of her eyes, the time and space of the surrounding scene had completely changed.
……
……
This is the uninhabited frontier of Higashi-no-Kuni.
Once upon a time, there was a terrifying legend that anyone who entered the place would lose their way and end up being eaten by the youkai. People call this place "Gensokyo", and no one dares to approach it......
People are afraid of youkai, and there are often brave people who go out to destroy them. Some of the brave ones settled in Gensokyo in order to keep an eye on the yokai so that they would no longer come to the village inhabited by humans.
During this time, youkai and humans fought day and night. This legend is often heard in this mountain country, and it is not an uncommon rumor.
It was also believed that that the place really existed.
As time slowly passed, more than a thousand years later, the age of yokai came to an end, and the age of mankind arrived—and human civilization flourished. Mankind is no longer afraid of the dark,
Because humans have been able to make things that can light up their surroundings even at night.
Human beings are completely blind to materialist science, and the non-scientific world, that is, the world of monsters and ghosts, is excluded as superstition.
Gensokyo is also believed to have no need for the human world to exist, so the legendary Yokai Sage, the yokai who most resembles a yokai, created a huge barrier that could not be unlocked again to seal Gensokyo.
Since then, the history of the intersection of humans and youkai in the outside world has come to an end.
It wasn't long before no one in the outside world knew about Gensokyo's existence.
I don't know how long after that, in Gensokyo, just like then, there are many youkai and a very small number of humans living there. Monsters and gods have developed their own civilization here.
In this way, a new page was turned in the history of humans and yokai.
At first glance, it looks like a very mature civilization built by the natural environment and all the creatures that live here. From the perspective of people in the human world, it seems to be a peaceful paradise without any disputes.
This paradise will continue to exist until the day when the gods who watch this paradise fall.
……
……
The dawn of the morning shines on the vast land of Gensokyo, dyeing the morning scenery with a brilliant golden glow.
The sunlight shines through the layers of tree branches, and the shadows are projected on the slightly steep path in the mountains, accompanied by the sound of slight footsteps, and two young girls are walking on the mountain road.
Look at the dilapidated old wooden steps that have appeared at the end of the line, the moss-covered stone brick surface, and the torii gate of Hakurei Shrine.
One of the silver-haired girls couldn't help but whisper as if she was a little dissatisfied: "Huiyin, we're here too early, and the banquet hasn't started yet...... No, it's not ready yet. ”
Her upper body is a white formal shirt, and the lower half of her body is a strap-like overalls-like pants, all of which are covered with a lot of weird charms. There were many bows tied in the hair, and at the back of the head was a big bow.
"Is there any problem with coming early, can you help prepare-"
The girl with blue and white hair, wearing a box-like hat, and a blue one-piece dress said quietly, "Besides, if I didn't catch you just now, I'm going to fight Princess Kaguya again!" ”
"No...... Ahem, I don't think about that slut all day long. ”
Fujiwara Meihong's face stiffened slightly, and then she hurriedly coughed lightly and said so.
"Really? I was only injured like this yesterday......" glanced at Mei Hong with some doubts, Huiyin obviously didn't believe her words, after all, I had heard a lot of such words for so many years.
"Huiyin, you don't have to worry, wait...... Look ahead, did someone straddle the beast path by mistake? ”
Realizing that this topic is not good for her, Mei Hong quickly changed the topic. She looked ahead, and her eyes lit up as she saw an apparently unfamiliar figure hovering down the mountain road ahead.
Sighing, Huiyin, who seemed to be helpless about Mei Hong's approach, shook her head, and then she also frowned slightly.
