All I want is simple...

All I want is black and white...

All I want is to protect my own world...

But there are so many things in this world that make me feel helpless, because sometimes complexity makes people easier.

Because sometimes lies, deception, betrayal, rhetoric, and indifference will make people even more unpressed

In order to adapt to this world, I put on a mask and changed from a big boy who guarded my world to a man.

But in the end, I realized that after I put on this mask, I could no longer take it off, and I was no longer my original self, and I was no longer the simple, simple self, because I was not satisfied with the existence at that time.

Gain, lose, gain, lose.

Simple, complex, to simple...

It's an infinite cycle, and at the end of the cycle, I have nothing, and I lose everything, including my own soul.

If I do it all over again, can everything change, can I always protect this simplicity, this simplicity, and the world I want to protect forever?

"Is this Gensokyo? Bastard, the only bit of money I have on me has been thrown into the cash box, doesn't it mean that I can open the door by throwing some of it, how come I have to save all my money, woo, I'm so hungry now! "A red-haired girl wearing a cheongsam with the word 'dragon' on her hat said, she threw away her travel bag, stretched out, and finally came here, this is Gensokyo, the land of monsters?

The entrance to Gensokyo,It's always the most lively place.,Because it's a concentration of all kinds of vendors.,Gensokyo has newcomers to join whenever it is.,Because of this relationship.,The vendors are concentrated at the entrance.,One is to solve the doubts of newcomers.,The other is to earn fees.After all, the monsters who just came to Gensokyo are not familiar with here.,So they will often buy something here.,Often snacks here.

The air was filled with the smell of food, and the girl's face was even more ugly, her stomach made a thunderous roar, and the people around her looked at her sideways, the girl was a little embarrassed, all the money was thrown in the cash box, and she was now penniless, even if she was looking for a place to work, it was not something that could be solved in a short time, and she couldn't do it the same way, because this is the territory of the monsters, and the big demons here abound, who knows who will grab whom's head.

"Hey, are you hungry? If you're hungry, why don't you sit down and eat some noodles with me? Just when the girl didn't know what to do, there was a laughing voice from the noodle stall next to her, and then the girl turned her head to look at the side, and found a man sitting there, holding a ramen bowl in his hand, and there were two very strange creatures on the table, two round balls, one black and one white, also eating ramen, I don't know why the girl was even more hungry after seeing these strange people.

"Come on, come on, sit down, your stomach is very honest, it's already protesting, this is also a little meeting gift from me, welcome to Gensokyo, you will like the boss here, give this little girl a bowl of noodles, big name, more meat, I'll settle the account." The white-haired man said to the stall owner.

"Okay, wait a minute, big bowl of noodles, I'll be here soon!"

"Are you really going to treat me to dinner? Doesn't it cost me anything? Mom said, there is no free lunch in this world, what do you want me to do? The girl asked as she sat down, and the man was amused by her words

"What can you do for me? I don't want to hit you, but you're of no use to me, didn't I say? It's a welcome gift to Gensokyo, and you're hungry, aren't you? Don't worry if you don't have any other ideas. ”

Although the man's words did not mean any contempt, the girl still felt a little unhappy, she was a powerful monster outside, even in this fantasy country, she felt that she could be ranked, but the man looked disdainful of herself, although he didn't show it. …,

"Compared to thinking about it here, you haven't said what your name is, my name is Lei Zhe, you can call me Lei, the whole Gensokkyo people call me that, this black and black is called Black Pill, this white and white is called Taibai, they are all my friends." This man is indeed Lei Zhe, he will run here to eat something every time he wakes up, although the food here is not delicious, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but he likes this feeling, and in the process, he has also seen a lot of characters who appear in the future plot.

And today, he met a familiar girl.

"My name is Hong Meiling and I'm from the mainland." This girl is Hong Meiling, that is, everyone is familiar with 'China,To be honest, the cheongsam on her body Lei Zhe was very close after seeing it, after all, this is a hometown specialty, but his feelings are only limited here.

"Very good name, in fact, I'm also from the mainland, but I came to Gensokyo a long time ago, and we're also fellow countrymen, so it's more stressful to invite you to dinner, just came to Gensokyo, how do you feel?"

"No, although I have heard a lot of rumors, but seeing is believing, hearing is false, I didn't expect you to be from the mainland? Why haven't I heard your name in the past? What kind of monster are you? Secretly, I'm actually a member of the dragon family. Hong Meiling said in a low voice, dragons are very noble in the mainland, they are no longer monsters, but gods, and the humans on the continent always call themselves 'descendants of the dragon, from this point you can see what status the dragon clan has in the mainland.

"But your blood is not pure? No, no, I should say that your bloodline has not awakened, right? Lei Zhe said after hearing Hong Meiling's words, the other party is indeed a dragon clan, but that was after she woke up, and now she is just a carp, the carp that has not crossed the dragon gate, when she really crosses the gate, she can become a member of the dragon clan, and her status will definitely not be low.

"Ah, you're right, although I had the opportunity to cross the Dragon Gate, but in the end I didn't wait, and I don't know why this happened, so I heard that there is a bamboo forest in Gensokyo, and there is a big demon called the Prayer Demon, and he can fulfill everyone's wishes, so I was thinking, can he help me take the last step, cross the Dragon Gate, and become a real dragon, anyway, you have lived in Gensokkyo for a long time, do you know what kind of person that Prayer Demon is? What's his personality like? Will it help me fulfill my wish? ”

For Hong Meiling, crossing the dragon gate to become a real dragon is the biggest dream, she is a carp essence, yes, but there are very few carp that can cross the dragon gate, and there is a quota limit, it turns out that this amount is quite fierce but to Hong Meiling's generation, it can be said that it is lucky, because she is currently the only carp that has the opportunity to cross the dragon gate, although no one is competing for the place, but Hong Meiling still wants to quickly realize her wish, because dragons and carp are two completely different concepts.

"Hehe, this little girl's wish is very simple, don't you help her?" Taibai, who was eating noodles, suddenly spoke, his words made Meiling stunned, she is not an idiot, as long as she thinks about it a little, she can understand what Taibai means.

"Could it be that you're the prayer demon?"

"Well, if you're talking about the prayer demon in the Lost Bamboo Forest, I do, but it's a bit exaggerated to fulfill all your wishes, and I also have things I can't do and can't do, but your wish is quite simple, I can really help you realize it, um, eat noodles first, and then we'll discuss it after eating?" At this time, the stall owner brought the noodles up, Lei Zhe said.

But Hong Meiling didn't care about the food anymore, she stood up suddenly, and then bent down to Lei Zhe and said loudly: "Please realize my wish, in order to cross the dragon gate, I have worked hard for thousands of years, I don't want to wait any longer It is my lifelong wish to become a dragon clan, I am willing to give everything for this, even if I sign any contract with you, it is no problem, the dragon clan cares about the contract the most, even if it is for you to take care of the home, I will not complain!" ”…,

Hong Meiling's voice startled the people around her, and then their eyes fell on Lei Zhe, and the passers-by around knew that anyone would behave this way when they saw Lei Zhe, because they wanted to fulfill their wishes, but there were a few who could really achieve it, not to mention the current Lei Zhe, who didn't want to do this kind of thing anymore.

"Didn't I say that? After eating this bowl of noodles, let's talk about these questions again, I understand your feelings, thousands of years of hard work have not paid off, I also like your character very much, in this case, can you go back to my three questions, if I am satisfied, I will help you. Lei Zhe's words made the people around him stunned, how long had they not heard Lei Zhe say this, since Lei Zhe said such words, it means that as long as Hong Meiling answers three questions, she can fulfill her wish!

Many people, for this girl who has just come to Gensokyo, have envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts.

"What does the world look like in your eyes?" This is Lei Zhe's first question, a very simple question, but his question made many people stunned again, in their own eyes, what is the world like? It seems that everyone sees and feels differently, is there an accurate answer to this kind of thing?

"Huh? What is the world like? Hong Meiling didn't know what the purpose of this kind of question was, but she still said: "Right and wrong, black and white, simple world, because this is the world in which we monsters live, we don't need too much right and wrong, we don't need too much hypocrisy, go straight, it's simple, judge right and wrong because of personal preferences, a world with only black and white, no chaos that makes people sick and stuffy and complicated gray." ”

After listening to this answer, Lei Zhe smiled slightly, and then said: "Your wish is just to skip the dragon gate and become a dragon, have you ever thought about what kind of life you want to live after becoming a dragon?" You say you're willing to give everything for this, do you think it's really necessary and worth it? Trade everything you have for an opportunity? ”

"Of course, this is the dream I pursue, and it is also my mother's expectation of me, even if I lose everything after becoming a dragon, I am willing, my mother said that there is no time to regret what I decide, even if I regret it, what I should do is not to stand still and regret it, but to move on. I don't know if I will have other thoughts in the future, but now, my dream is like this, and I am willing to give everything for it...! ”

Although I don't know who Hong Meiling's mother is, Lei Zhe nodded, if I can see this woman, I will talk to her very speculatively, it can be seen from the way she educates her daughter that this woman has experienced a lot of things, she has a lot of stories, and her education is also successful, at least Hong Meiling did not hesitate after making a choice, she has her own goals and things she wants to do, she has been working hard for her wishes, even if she is scarred, even if she licks her wounds alone, she has not stoppedand still moving forward.

"Then let me ask you another question, you have your own dreams, your own desires, and the world you swear to protect, if you really become a dragon, will you still maintain this simplicity, this simple thought, and then protect your own world? What does your world seem to you to be, is it that desire, or is it your mother? ”

"Even if I become a dragon, I will still be me, I will still remain like this, I will protect my world, my world is not a wish, nor my mother, but everything I cherish, this is the answer I give you...!"

Hong Meiling said this, looking at Lei Zhe seriously, Kuromaru and Taibai glanced at each other, they knew that this girl had passed, and her answer Lei Zhe was very satisfied, although there was no guarantee that she would continue to be like this in the future, but now Lei Zhe would help her and let her cross the dragon gate, because this girl has this qualification.

The reason why she hasn't jumped over the dragon gate is not because of talent, nor because she didn't put in the effort, but because she doesn't trust herself, too long makes her doubt herself, even if this time she comes to Gensokyo is her last attempt, if she fails, she will give up this idea, what is the story of the carp jumping over the dragon gate, I think everyone understands.

Putting a pill in front of Hong Meiling, Lei Zhe said with a smile: "If you believe me, just eat it, and then you can get what you want, you answer me three questions, and I will fulfill your wish, that's it." ”

Hong Meiling immediately grabbed the pill and put it in her mouth, and then all the people in Gensokyo saw it and saw a scene that will never be forgotten for a lifetime.

The monstrous waves, the huge dragon gate appeared in the sky, and a cyan carp churned and jumped in this huge wave, it didn't jump once, its body would burn with heavenly fire, every time it got closer to the dragon gate, the greater the change in its body, when it finally jumped over the unattainable dragon gate, the cyan carp disappeared, replaced by a cyan dragon flying in the sky!

"Hey, Lei You, what did you give her to eat?" Taibai looked at everything that was happening in front of him and asked.

"One, chocolate."
