664 Undisciplined Shrine Maiden
664 Undisciplined Witch
"Hmm, have you found a way?" Somewhere in the mountains and forests, a group of strangely dressed people gathered together, they seemed to be talking about something, they didn't look like normal humans, even in the deep mountains and old forests, they were dressed in quite cumbersome and luxurious clothes, one by one dressed like nobles who were going to a ball, their outfits were completely out of place with the environment.
"Gensokyo, indeed, is in this area, but you have to have Yakumo's permission to enter, because she is the one who has mastered the barrier, but now we don't know how to find her traces..."
"Is that all?"
"Are you kidding? How can this matter be counted like this, even if they are the last two descendants of the Scarlett family, they will never allow what they do, killing relatives is an absolute taboo among us vampires, no matter who commits it, they must be killed, Scarlet has perished, so this matter is carried out by us outsiders. ”
"Tsk, I really didn't expect the beautiful Scarlet family to disappear like this, and what is even more ridiculous is not that they died in a fight with other forces, but that they were wiped out by two weak descendants, I really want to know what happened at that time."
While a group of vampires from different countries were discussing, a woodcutter suddenly came out of the woods, this human woodcutter was a little surprised when he saw a group of vampires, but he was not surprised, when he appeared, all the vampire eyes fell on him, this woodcutter put down the chopped wood and axe, and scratched his head: "Do you want to enter Gensokyo?" ”
"Human, how do you know?" Vampires' attitude towards humans can be said to be quite cold, they rarely appear in front of humans, especially now they almost live a life of seclusion, although some legends say that they treat humans as domestic animals, but sometimes the rumors are not true, they do need to suck the blood of humans, but they also have their own territory, in the territory lives human beings, they just need to provide blood on time, and on the other hand, they can get the protection of vampires, the world is still in a very chaotic era, Relations between European countries are also not harmonious.
Now Europe is in the stage of the 'industrial revolution', the strength of various countries is developing rapidly, but the friction between them is also intensifying, Britain and France and other countries have begun to plan their own way out, coupled with the strong rise of Napoleon, you can know what the situation in Europe is now, so some human beings are willing to dance with vampires in order to save their lives.
Vampires don't advocate violence, because they are self-proclaimed nobles and rarely do anything out of line, and their attitude towards humans is not friendly, but it is definitely not bad, so it can only be said that both sides have their own needs.
So when they saw this woodcutter, a group of vampires didn't want to fight and kill, and ate each other's corpses, but on the contrary, they could continue to talk.
"Ha, you usually come to this kind of place, and you dress strangely, nine times out of ten you are youkai looking for Gensokyo, you should be from the Western world, right? Besides, my ancestors lived here hundreds of years ago, so it's not unusual to know something, so you want to enter Gensokyo, but you can't find a way, right? I can help, but you also have to pay a little price, such as money or something. ”
The woodcutter was very calm, and it was the kind of calm that made people feel weird, but a group of vampires did not have time to take care of this unnatural place, and immediately someone took out a money bag, which contained gold coins, and when the gold coins collided, it made a crisp sound, and then the other party threw the money to the woodcutter and said: "This is the reward, tell us how to enter Gensokyo, but if you dare to lie to us, you know the end!" ”
"Hehe, naturally, how dare I lie to youkai-sama? If you continue to walk north, you will find a very dilapidated shrine in a wood, which looks quite bad, that is the entrance to Gensokyo, after entering the shrine, as long as you throw incense money in the cash box, the door to enter Gensokyo will open, how about it, easy, right? The woodcutter laughed, and then he picked up his firewood and axe and headed down the hill, but the vampires did not stop him and let them go. …,
"Why do I always think that this kind of setting is a bit tricky, spending money to buy roads?"
"Who knows, maybe it was specially arranged by Yakumo Murasaki? Haven't you ever thought that when you encounter a dilapidated shrine in the deep mountains and old forests, you will throw incense money into the cash box? If no one told us, even if we found the shrine, we would leave, right? ”
Despite all sorts of complaints about this setting, the vampires still walked to the mountains to the north, and sure enough, they found a dilapidated wooden shrine somewhere that could be blown by the wind at any time, and on top of the shrine hung a crooked plaque with crooked four characters written on it.
Hakurei Shrine
"Okay, so let's try?" Standing in front of the cash box, a vampire said this, then he took out a gold coin and threw it into the cash box, and after waiting for a few seconds, a spatial tunnel appeared behind the cash box, although the scene inside could not be seen from the outside, but everyone knew that they had found the right place, and the woodcutter did not lie to himself.
"Don't you think it's weird? How can a woodcutter in the mountains understand our language? It was at this moment that a vampire suddenly spoke, and his words made his companion stunned, and now he remembered that the woodcutter was talking to him in very pure English. If it weren't for the fact that someone had brought it up, they would have ignored it, and it's a bit strange to think about it now.
"Don't worry about that kind of trivial matter, don't forget our mission, this time we have to face the two monsters that will destroy the Scarlett family, no one knows how strong they are, don't put your mind and spirit on inconsequential matters."
"Well, actually, I've always wondered, do you think there might still exist in Gensokyo? It won't be destroyed by those two monsters, right? Even if it's a youkai's pure land, it should be full of battles inside? I don't think any youkai can be stronger than the Scarlett family, do I? ”
"This kind of thing will be clear as long as we go in, let's go..."
When a group of vampires entered, the space tunnel closed, and at this time, a person appeared outside the shrine, this person was the woodcutter who had just pointed the way to the vampire, and his body changed, and the middle-aged woodcutter turned into a girl, and this girl was Barnyard Ari.
In her right hand, she held a bag of gold coins given by the vampire before, and kept tossing them up and down, with a smile on her face: "It's also your luck, the fate that was originally destined may change." ”
In the Eastern world where Lei Zhe has never been, this group of vampires also came to Gensokyo to find the eldest lady and the second sister, and the purpose is also to kill the two murderers who caused the demise of the Scarlett family, as I said before, in the world of vampires, this kind of thing is unforgivable, any vampire who kills his blood relatives must be severely punished, generally there will be a group of teams in the vampire family that specialize in dealing with betrayers, and it stands to reason that the eldest lady and the second sister are not the turn of other families to call the shots.
It's a pity that the Scarlett family has disappeared from this world, but the traditions and rules cannot be changed, so the other vampire families sent their own people to Gensokyo to hunt the eldest lady and the second sister, to show that the traditions and rules cannot be broken because of this.
It's just that in the end, two-thirds of this group of vampires were killed by the eldest lady and the second sister, and one-third chose to submit to the eldest lady, and then there was Gensokyo's 'vampire mutation incident', otherwise how could the eldest lady, who belonged to the commander of the light pole, start this war? If it weren't for this event, the 'Spell Card Rules' would have been canceled.
However, this group of vampires is very lucky this time, because they met Lei Zhe, because of someone's existence, the vampires who were supposed to die may find a chance to survive?
"Huh? No, no, it's their fate, isn't it? Ali shook her head suddenly, as if she was having a conversation with someone, the smile on her face was gone, and Ali continued: "I didn't use fate as an excuse, but isn't that what happened? If you put aside those very middle and second thoughts, everything that happens in this world is arranged by fate, fate let the Scarlett family perish, let the eldest lady and the second sister come to Gensokyo, let this group of vampires hunt and kill the two, and then they were killed by the two, isn't this fate? Although it is a self-inflicted fate! ”…,
"The Scarlet family perished, it was they who summoned the 'fate' demon by themselves, no one forced them, the eldest lady and the second sister came to Gensokyo because of their own consciousness, no one to guide them, or was it the advice that Mu Q gave them? This group of vampires also only obeys orders, who gave them orders, isn't it their own family? It's all fate, isn't it? ”
Ah Li said that there was silence here, she seemed to be asking for something, and then shook her head slightly, the smile on Ah Li's face became full of mockery: "That's right, yes, our endings are also destined by fate, people have a thousand calculations, but God only has one calculation, people can never guess what will happen in the next second, anything beyond their expectations, is God's unpredictable calculation, the so-called 'Avenue Fifty, In my opinion, personnel is the forty-nine, we can do everything perfectly, but there is still one that cannot be determined, this is the so-called 'fate', isn't it? ”
"Didn't someone back then just be tossed back to life by his own Sijiu and God? Because of this, he wrote the most perfect script and let the forty-nine be completely in his own hands, but he still ignored the importance of the 'one', and now he thinks that the perfect script is also wrong? So, fate, it's life, life is fate, it's good to ignore fate or something, as long as you have no regrets in your life, of course, this may be unlikely. ”
Ah Li said that he was silent, and then continued: "Am I changed? No, I haven't changed anything, I still support Lei Luo's plan, support his script, the task he left me, I will complete it perfectly, but now I may not be in the same mood as I was at the beginning, do you still have unrealistic fantasies? Wake up, Lei Luo is not a god, he can't see everything, he's just a person, he makes the wrong choices like everyone else, he just has experienced more than others, and if he lives for millions of years, even a pig will become shrewd, right? What's more, Lei Luo isn't a pig, is he? ”
"I'm a little tired, really tired, before I die, I feel that life is complete, but after I am reborn, I have a delusion, I have become a nail in someone's plan, I am different from the chain soul, she can give everything for Lei, even if it is her own life, but I don't want that kind of ending, since I can come back to life, then why die easily? It's not fate, it's not the fate I should have, I don't want to disappear..."
Ah Li said this, her right hand clenched hard, the money bag in her hand exploded, the gold coins inside turned into golden dust and fell into the air, and Ah Li's appearance also became distorted: "I am indeed an undead, not belonging to the past, nor to the future of the undead, but I want to chase my own destiny, since fate is composed of people and God, then I will do what I should do, as for what God wants me to do, I don't bother to care, I am not worse than her!" ”
There was a soft sigh in his ear, and the other party finally left a sentence: "Since this is your choice, we have no right to ask, I hope you don't regret it in the future..."
"Regret it, I've already regretted it once, so I won't regret it again this time, a long, long time ago, a group of humans once asked us, who gave us the power to destroy their world? How did we answer then? Power is not given by others, it is earned by oneself, whether it is fate, the future, or power, is it all earned with one's own hands and hard work? ”
Staring at the shrine in the distance, Ali's distorted expression calmed down, and she turned to leave, no one knew where she was going.
"In the original, Ray always called me 'undisciplined witch', to be honest, I really wanted to change back to that undisciplined state, but unfortunately I couldn't keep it forever, struggle, resist, change, I'm already annoyed, even if one day I really want to disappear, then I won't resist, in your words this is my fate, but until then, I will try to fight for what I want, this time I will not leave regrets, this time absolutely not."
"I'm not going to go wrong this time..."
There was a girl's muttering in the mountains and forests, and occasionally there would be some very strange laughter, and then I would think of a very soft song, which had been echoing in the surrounding space for a long time, and the word probably went something like this...
Reimu's festival is like a cloud on the horizon, and it won't come back when the wind blows, singing the most dazzling oriental wind leisurely, and Remy's majesty is really helpless...
