Chapter 257: Today's Gensokyo ......
A week is fleeting.
"Drip" "Drip" "Drip"
Xu Tianshi's watch suddenly heard a crisp sound, accompanied by a constantly flickering blue light. The teenager in the game "God of War 3" was stunned for a moment, reached out and tapped it on his watch. Since the past week, the food in the Hidden Dragon has been completely exhausted under the joint "efforts" of the three super big stomach kings, so he has to go back to the past to "prepare" food on a large scale. He emptied the goods of several large department stores in one fell swoop, and countless stores wept and cursed the thief who would die ten thousand times.
He couldn't do anything for the past seven days, so he could only hide in the house and play PS3 every day. It's not that he didn't try to fly in stealthily to steal information, and he was almost caught by the other party that time. According to the Black Dragon Empress Nesario, there is not only one powerful presence in this realm, and one of them even has the ability to peek into her realm. In desperation, he could only give up the convenient and quick way.
"No. B10727, newbie protection is over, please select the task as soon as possible."
The text faded away, and the gray "Mission" and "Redemption" turned white.
He thought about it for a moment and clicked "exchange" first. Since you can't get information directly, you can only penetrate the other party's interior. In that case, you won't be able to spend much time in Vault Seven, so let's see what you can get from it first. What if there's something good, like a Perfect Blood Awakening Elixir or something.
There are also four items in the "Redemption" column, which are "Food", "Shelter", "Weapons", and "Others". The first three things are of no use to the boy at all, and no matter how good the weapons provided here are, they are better than what the profiteers sell? With the right to trade with two plane merchants, he really doesn't look down on the weapons of the native world.
"Time is on the top, how come there are only three things in the 'other', ah, the soul is faint!" Looking at the poor exchange item, the boy couldn't help but laugh. A "small healing potion", a "medium-sized healing potion", and finally a "kidney treasure...... Shouldn't the last one be a "big cure"? How did you become a kidney treasure, hey!
"The refuge of the pit daddy's kidney deficiency...... If you sell a bottle of kidney treasure, who will buy it for 100,000 yuan! Forget it, this kind of thing aside. Nesario, how about a suggestion? Xu Tianshi took a deep breath and threw aside the ** in his head. Back to the point. According to his ideas, joining the army was the wisest choice. When the time comes, he will touch the gun and say that his ability has suddenly awakened, and then join the personal guard of the Seven Martial Seas.
Seamless.
"Hmm, do you suggest? Let's join the army first. The Black Dragon Empress Nesario thought for a moment. coincides with the teenager. Of course, it's just that the premise is similar. According to the empress's idea, after joining the army, she did not take the upper route, but judged according to the clues in the mission. She understood the boy's plan, but she would never agree to it. After all, this world is not her home turf. Even if she was an empress, there was no guarantee that the teenager would be unharmed.
"Heroes see the same thing." The boy nodded and clicked on "Protect the Homeland" in the "Mission". Truth be told, there are only three tasks in this. "Protecting the homeland" and "Striving for a hopeful tomorrow" occupy three-quarters of the screen, as well as the small "everyday" that is almost invisible. He clicked on it curiously, there are a lot of tasks, but most of them are sweeping the streets and farming, and the reward points are only enough to eat "crunchy"......
"Main Mission - Protect the Homeland (in progress): Report to the barracks." Then the screen turns, and a big red question mark appears on the map where the northern military camp is. The thin blue line marks the shortest distance to reach the mission goal, which is quite intimate. Of course, if you choose the daily task. What awaits you is an endless search......
Xu Tianshi put away the PS3 and set out on the way to the barracks.
――――――――――――――――
Gensokyo, Hakurei Shrine.
"Reimu, I'm back!" The little girl opened the door, and was greeted by a group of girls who could only be described as "terrifying". Remilia held the plate in her hand and was "sweeping" the pot of meat on it into her mouth. Flandoro's entire head was buried in the pot, and all she could hear was swallowing food. Countless empty cans completely drowned the darkness, and not even a shadow could be seen. In order to reserve enough energy to survive the whole spring, the red and white shrine maidens are stuffing food into their stomachs in a "whale swallowing" way.
These are pretty good. The dragon profiteers and Zina are no longer eating, but fighting. One had just packed the food into the gap. The other just shreds the space. Before the profiteer could move his chopsticks, Yakumo Zi threw over a "realm of movement and stillness", so that the other party could only watch and not eat......
Yonglin hid in the corner of the room, sipping a glass of wine from the Moon Capital. Laugh at the chaotic battlefield.
The bitter Holy Dragon Maiden was busy in the kitchen, eager to let the whole clan cook together, and at her speed she was not at all the opponents who had changed their ways.
"What are you ......" The young ghost looked stunned, innocent and completely unaware of what was going on. Could it be that in the past two days since she went home to save her family, there was a famine at the shrine? Otherwise, they all look like victims who have been hungry for a long time and haven't eaten. Reimu is okay to say, she's an authentic disaster victim, and the rest of them aren't they!
"Fragrance. Come and eat! Our energy expenditure throughout the spring depends on this meal! The undisciplined shrine maiden swallowed the food in her mouth with great difficulty, and hurriedly beckoned. Although the food has been planted, they will still be hungry until autumn comes...... Marisa's long-term meal ticket doesn't know why she hasn't been to the shrine for a long time, hasn't she gotten out of debt yet?
"Understood!" Ibuki Azuka tossed aside the gift she was carrying and immediately joined the battlefield. If you let several other heavenly kings of the ghost clan see her like this, it would be really a ghost if they didn't pick her up and beat her up. The longer I stay with Reimu, the more I don't know what the festival is......
"What is this?" Bayi Yonglin picked up the gift curiously.
"Souvenirs...... It is said to be the arm of a kappa. The watermelon's mouth was stuffed with food, but the words were still clear.
“…… Are you sure that Kawashiro Nitori's arm is still intact on her? The Moon Sage opened the box, and inside was a fresh arm...... The blood on the sleeves was still wet, and the blood was dripping. His arms twitched, and his little fingers were still shaking slightly.
"I don't know, Yongyi sent it."
“…… Poor kappa. Bayi Yonglin sighed with emotion and threw the box aside.
Reimu Hakurei's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if she had thought of some good idea. Seeing that the Sage of the Moon discarded important items so carelessly, she exclaimed angrily, "Hey, our shrine has been pinning on that thing all summer. Show me attention! ”
Bayi Yonglin said with a headache: "You want to worship this thing as a sacred object to attract incense?" Impossible. "This shrine is on the edge of Gensokyo, and there are always many powerful youkai who visit it every day, and any human-in-mind person will come here to worship. If it weren't for the fact that Suika often wears a shrine maiden costume to do good deeds, this place must have been forgotten by the humans in the human world......
Anyway, is it okay for a ghost to wear a witch costume?
"Hmph. How do you know if you don't try? Reimu said unconvinced.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the plate that the profiteer and purple had been fighting for for a long time was finally unbearable and broken.
“…… Xiao Zi, you can eat this light taste. "The profiteers pretend to be generous.
"Dead profiteer, can you eat it if you drop it on the ground?"
"Well. Look at the world over there. Not to mention falling to the ground, even the vomit is eaten with relish. ”
"Hmph, you don't know it's nutritious?"
"Well, it looks like you've eaten it."
"I haven't eaten it, that's what the inhabitants of that world say. It is said that vomit is rich in effects and can provide you with 5,000 calories. Besides, people in a certain island country even eat excrement with relish, what is vomit? Haven't digested it yet, have you? ”
"Yes, the people of that island nation have to be admired. It's hard for them to eat excrement. ”
"It's called the Golden Grain Meal, and it's a very valuable food over there, isn't it?"
Hearing the conversation between the profiteer and Purple, the girls stopped moving as if they had not eaten in weeks.
"Sister, I can't eat any more......" Miss Flandoro II looked at the potato stew in the pot, only to feel a tumbling in her stomach. This dish used to be good, but now the more I look at it, it looks more and more like vomit...... If you can eat it without frowning, even she, an extremely powerful monster, has to say "admiration".
Miss Remilia was even more simply, throwing down her plate and rushing to the toilet.
"Hey, food isn't meant to be wasted!" Reimu said as she pulled the food in front of the two sisters in front of her eyes, looking like "I'll solve it". She and Suika didn't even hear the conversation between the bad fun duo over there. But when I hear it, I guess I will only pause and continue to struggle......
The profiteer and Yakumo looked at each other with a smile. Hmph, we're still hungry, so come and stay with us! By the way, there's still a Moon of the People over there that hasn't been resolved...... Although you didn't eat. But watching us fight while drinking is already the biggest mistake! A girl who makes a mistake must be punished, right?
"Profiteer, you don't know yet, do you? There is also a group of beings called 'M' among the humans in that world. ”
'Oh?' M'I know, but so what? "The profiteers are quite cooperative.
"In the 'M' training, there is one called the 'holy water training', do you know what it is?"
"I really don't know this concubine."
"I'll tell you. The so-called 'holy water training' is ......"
Without waiting for her to finish, Yonglin threw down the wine glass and ran directly to the toilet with her mouth covered.
“…… Looks like she knows a lot. ”
"Yes."
The complaining officer said, girls, can you be a little more disgusting?
"Alright, let's get down to business. Sister Yue, what do you think of Lumia's affairs? Yakumo Zi coughed and touched her stomach like a deflated ball. It's true that she's a youkai, but no one ever said that a youkai won't be hungry if you don't eat...... At least she's starving to death right now.
"Whew, it's finally done. Say it up front, this is the last one. Huh? What about the others? The Holy Dragon Maiden carefully put the big plate down on the table and sat down. Each dish is the result of her painstaking efforts, and it looks unremarkable on the outside, but in fact it is made with precious ingredients that are rarely seen by other dragons.
"They? Eat too much. The profiteer pursed his lips and took small sips of his food. There are only three existences that can make this empress cook, but unfortunately there is no one of them. In the Plane Merchant's "Most Wanted Goods Ranking", Reimu's virginity and the dishes made by the White Sacred Dragon Empress are among the top three things.
Tucao said that the original plane merchants are also a group of idle eggs......
"Really, I haven't heard a review yet. Hey, half-body, are you having any trouble again? The Holy Dragon Maiden skillfully plucked the wine gourd from Cuixiang's waist. Poured himself a full glass. This wine gourd is a treasure made by "her" herself, and it can never be exhausted to pour any of the rarest wine in the world.
"Well, it's not that difficult. Lumia was thrown into that world, without us knowing anything had happened. The profiteer poured himself a glass. He said with a puzzled voice. The fragrant wine and the food made by the concubine's body and half body are indeed the best enjoyment in the world.
The Holy Dragon Maiden flawless empress paused, and put down the wine glass that had been handed to her lips with a solemn face: "You guys also have this kind of abnormality here?" ”
The profiteer was stunned: "What, you guys are also ...... over there"
The Holy Dragon Maiden nodded and said solemnly, "That's right. Queen of the Jade Blood Dragon...... Gone. ”
"How is that possible! What about Xinghong? Hasn't she stayed in the tribe all the time? The profiteers were shocked. I didn't even notice that the wine glass in my hand had fallen to the ground. The Jade Blood Dragon, like the Black Dragon, is the lowest existence among the dragons who have the Empress. But even so, not any life can drag away the soft persimmons of the clan without them noticing, let alone a queen who stole it this time.
"That's why I'm here...... I thought it was a pitiful plan. The Holy Dragon Maiden smiled bitterly.
The cans scattered with a "bang", revealing the solid darkness underneath.
"Not me. Also, I've said it all, how many times, don't call me, poor little one. Darkness shook his head humanely.
"Who could that be......" Several of the people behind the scenes fell into deep thought at the same time.
"Whew, I'm full for the time being. Feed. Hello to me, a few of you. I don't want to pursue what you're doing, and I don't want to waste my time doing so. But this time, Gensokyo has disappeared so many residents one after another, which has constituted an anomaly. I'd suggest you do it in moderation, or I, the shrine maiden who solves the mutation, will have to take action. Reimu wiped his mouth with his sleeve and looked back solemnly.
"The Red Devil Pavilion and the Eternal Pavilion didn't even say anything to you in charge, so naturally I won't say much. I might as well have a variety of lands when I have that time...... But you went too far this time, why did you throw Gensokyo's only teacher and her bodyguards into that world? Don't you know that Huiyin-sensei is one of the indispensable beings in Gensokyo? And Lumia, if she dies, the whole Gensokyo will lose its 'darkness' element. Collapse is inevitable. Purple, you should know this better than I do. ”
Forming the shell of Gensokyo, it is the Hakurei Great Enchantment, the two most important of which are Yakumo Murasaki and Hakurei Shrine Maiden. The former is the provider of the realm, and the latter is the maintainer of the realm. After "she" intervened. The Great Barrier of Hakurei is more stable, so the Hakurei shrine maidens who are the defenders are also so powerful that even the people behind them can't resist them.
However, Gensokyo is not just a shell. As a separate world, nature needs all the elements that make up the world. "Light", "Dark", "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn", "Winter"...... These are the most basic elements. Although the element of "history" is not as important as the basic element, it is also indispensable.
Kamibai Ze Huiyin is a half-beast in charge of "history". Of course, she didn't know it herself. Or rather. Aside from a limited number of existences, other monsters or gods are unaware of it. In fact, the existence of the element in charge must not be very strong, for example, the person who is in charge of the element of "ice" is a fool......
Including the two girls who returned from the toilet, all the people behind the scenes looked at each other.
"I know, but it's really not our hands this time. Hey? Huiyin and Meihong are also gone? ”
"Not you? Who's that? Forget it, I'm just reminding you. Reimu glanced at Yakumo Purple suspiciously, then shook his head.
"Damn, can't even the chengguan help but do it?" The profiteer muttered quietly. The person who can't be offended in the entire Gensokkyo is the Borei Witch who is known as the "Chengguan", because all the Hakurei Witches have been blessed by "her", even the one in front of her who doesn't know what the festival is. If it really starts...... Winning or losing is secondary, "she" must be aware of this, and then all plans will be in vain.
"Huh? What did you say? "The undisciplined shrine maiden is full of festivity, at least it seems.
"Well, if you make a change, it will cost me a lot of energy...... I'm still going to save my energy for the winter. "or something, I really didn't have anything to do with her.
"No, nothing. Are you satisfied? Not satisfied, let Shuang do something for you again...... "In the face of danger, the profiteer lost his temperance.
"Yes, yes, I have my hands and feet...... "The Holy Dragon Maiden also threw the festival exercise thing aside.
"Well, when you say that, I feel hungry again...... Cuixiang, what about you? Wujie touched his round belly and turned around and asked. In order to save up enough energy to survive the spring, she used her ability to speed up the speed of her digestion of food. The body or something aside, and storing energy is the most important thing.
"Huh? Fragrance? The witch was stunned for a moment, and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Ghost Clan, who was originally sitting beside her, disappeared without a trace.
"Fragrance? Fragrance? Reimu called out loudly, but there was no response.
"Really, where did Cuixiang go?" The shrine maiden muttered quietly.
The black hands behind the scenes swallowed their saliva in unison, and their faces were ugly.
"Hey, no, it can't be that coincidental......" The Holy Dragon Maiden stabbed the half of the body next to her.
"How can the concubine know!" Profiteers are going crazy.
"I said, come and have a look......" Yakumo Zi trembled and pointed to the realm that had not been moved.
A group of behind-the-scenes gangsters hurriedly came over, and their faces turned black as soon as they "brushed" the ground.
"Well, that guy won't leave the shrine for no reason. Well? What do you do? Let me see it too! Reimu had a sense of foreboding in her heart, and she happened to see the faces of the girls who had completely blackened. She leaned in, but the group of girls was so tight that she didn't see anything.
Yakumo Zi's hand shook, and immediately closed the realm: "It's nothing, nothing, don't you say, profiteer?" ”
"Ahaha, ahaha~ The concubine doesn't know anything, and the concubine doesn't see anything."
Reimu narrowed her eyes and rolled up her sleeves, her fingers rattling. Then, out of nowhere, she took out the camera that she had "seized" from that voyeur who shot Marufumi......
"Purple, I don't want to be beaten so that I can't take care of myself, and the photos are full of Gensokyo...... Open the realm to the old lady! ”
Yakumo shivered and looked at the other girls for help.
"Uh-huh, the weather is nice today?" The profiteer looked up at the door.
"That's right, that's right, the weather is very good, the sky is full of dark clouds......" The Holy Dragon Maiden said incoherently.
"Fran, it's time for us to go home...... The quilt is still hanging outside. Miss Remilia looked at the sky worriedly.
"Huh? Sister, we obviously didn't dry it...... Hmmm! The innocent Miss Flandrean was covered again.
"Ah, there's still a patient over there in the Eternal Pavilion!" Bayi Yonglin seemed to have just remembered something.
The darkness just disappeared......
"You unrighteous fellows!" Yakumo Zi shouted indignantly.
Loyalty...... If we want to be righteous, we will be in the photos that will be spread all over Gensokyo tomorrow.
"Okay, you force me!" Zi saw that the girls just didn't look at her, and opened the realm ruthlessly.
In the picture, there is a young man with a blank face and an equally dazed ghost...... The ghost still has a chicken leg in his hand.
"Incense! Ahhh Hakuri Reimu pulled out a wad of yellow rune paper and smashed it into the girls. For a moment, there was only screaming one after another in the whole room...... There is also the "click" of the camera being pressed on the shutter.
Outside.
Wrapped in darkness, Yue Lingcang looked in a certain direction.
Over there, it's the border between life and death. (To be continued.) )
PS: (It's not peaceful at all!) )
