Episode 47 The fate of the Witch of Hakurei
The impact, which was stronger than thunder and lightning, made Reimu's mind tingle for a while.
"That...... I didn't hear it clearly, can I say it again?"
The girl dug into her ears and wondered if she had heard it wrong, or that there was something wrong with her ears.
After all, such a thing is too unbelievable to say it.
"There is no doubt that what I just said is true. ”
Yakumo Zi and the others were not surprised by each other's appearance, let alone others, even when they learned about it, they were shocked for a long time!
"Hiss......"
Reimu gasped sharply, then slapped his head a few times.
"Wait a minute, why did that guy attack Ryujin-sama?"
That's weird, isn't it?
As the highest existence of Gensokyo, there is no one who does not have all kinds of admiration for her, and it is really unimaginable that there are still people who will be unfavorable to her.
"It's for revenge. ”
"Revenge?"
This answer was a little unexpected to the shrine maiden.
"In order to pay tribute to the first shrine maiden who has died, she has challenged Lord Ryujin many times. ”
And because of the order of Lord Ryujin, no one else can interfere in this matter. Otherwise, I'm afraid that after the first move, the other party will be killed by other guys immediately.
“......”
The girl felt that her mind was becoming more and more unable to keep up with the words of the rift monster, and her mind was in chaos.
"Reimu, do you know what kind of world Gensokyo was a thousand years ago?"
Yakumo Zi looked at her, and suddenly another question was raised.
"Well, I've heard that at that time, humans and youkai were still in a state of opposition, and there was often bloodshed between the two sides. ”
Compared to now, Gensokyo at that time seemed to be quite chaotic, and it can be said that monsters eating people can be seen everywhere.
"Not exactly. ”
Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head and denied Reimu's answer.
"Ah, not exactly?"
Could it be that there is something wrong with you?
"That generation is a world that is far more cruel than you can imagine!"
Darkness, chaos, despair, being in that era was extremely painful for both humans and youkai.
The two sides are not opposites, but they absolutely cannot coexist.
"Humans and youkai will never be able to coexist peacefully. ”
This was the unanimous thinking of everyone at that time.
Once humans and demons meet, it is bound to end with one of them falling, and most of the falling will be on the human side, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big.
Faced with the gradual collapse of Gensokyo, Ryujin chose a human girl after careful consideration, and trained her to be his spokesperson to maintain the balance between humans and youkai.
"That person, is it ......?"
"That's right, she's the first Hirori shrine maiden. ”
Gensokyo's earliest shrine maiden,Because of her appearance,The original advantage of the youkai has been regained little by little.。
"Oh......"
Hearing a little about some of the seniors' things made Reimu a little happy.
"However, does this have anything to do with the guy who sneaked up on Lord Ryujin?"
"Of course there is, and it's very big!"
Yakumo's purple eyes floated upward, as if he had fallen into a memory.
"For that child, the first generation can be said to be one of her qiē. ”
It doesn't matter to her what the world has become, as long as she can be with each other.
And then this only wish, in the end, was also destroyed. That's why I hate Lord Dragon God and hate the one in this world!
"Huh?"
Reimu only felt that his mind was getting more and more confused, and the relationship between humans and demons at that time always didn't seem to be complicated!
"You know what? Reimu. ”
Yakumo Zi didn't care about her thoughts, but just continued to talk about herself.
"In the past, the Hakurei witch will not retreat from the monsters!"
"Huh?"
If the youkai were so dangerous at that time, how could they let them go?
"So what should I do?"
If you don't do anything, the humans of Gensokyo will definitely perish.
"It's very simple, just destroy all those monsters that are dangerous to humans. ”
The faint words contained a sense of clarity that made the shrine maiden shudder.
"What do you mean......"
"It's not about driving them away or knocking them down, it's about completely erasing them from this world. ”
Generations of Hakurei shrine maidens have their hands stained with the blood of youkai, including their ancestors.
The only exception is Reimu.
"This ......"
The girl couldn't say a word for a long time.
"That's too cruel, isn't it?"
Even from a human standpoint, Reimu still finds it difficult to accept.
Besides, too much killing didn't mean anything to the shrine maidens, after all, it would hurt the heavens and would affect their cultivation.
"There's no way, a gentle way of doing things, the result will only cost you your own life. ”
Born in that era, everything they did was just to survive.
So they didn't do anything wrong.
Unfortunately, because so many youkai were killed, their dying grudges eventually turned into a terrible curse. ”
"What curse?"
"All who become a Hirori shrine maiden will not die well. ”
The slightly cold wind blew in from the window, but it made the girl shiver a few times.
Just by saying this, you can imagine how much resentment those slain monsters have towards people like themselves.
"Just kidding......"
As the spokesperson of the gods, the shrine maiden should not be afraid of most curses.
However, Reimu couldn't keep talking, and she suddenly thought of Grandma.
"What's even more ironic is that almost every shrine maiden will have a youkai to follow. ”
Apparently a person who makes a living by destroying youkai, but he became a companion with youkai, which is probably one of the curses of youkai!
“......”
Reimu is even more speechless, she herself is the best representative!
"And what happened to the last prime?"
"Committed suicide. ”
“!”
Even though she had been surprised so many times, the girl was still stunned by this sentence.
"People are vulnerable. Day after day of killing, both physically and mentally, will slowly corrode away, and eventually become a foreign object that no one can approach. ”
At that time, not only will the youkai not accept them, but even the humans who once stood on the same side will definitely leave them.
Finally, before he was completely broken, the first generation chose to break himself.
This result, for many people, is sad and helpless.
However, not everyone can accept this outcome.
The only guy who always followed the first generation blamed a qiē on the dragon god. She thinks that it is because of the fault of the dragon god that it will lead to today's tragedy.
So she was determined to take revenge on the other party.
There was no sound in the room for a moment, and everyone fell silent.
"And what about her, did she die in the end?"
Although I sympathize with what happened to that guy, but if I dare to challenge Lord Ryujin, there will only be one end.
"No, she's not dead. ”
"Not dead?"
If you do something disobedient, even if Ryujin-sama doesn't make a move, the others will tear her up.
"Lord Ryujin forgave her, and in the end he just sealed her up. ”
Probably because I felt a little guilty about the death of the first generation, I would let her go.
"Oh......"
The girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was still an embarrassing ending, but it was quite acceptable.
"However, if this is the end of the story, we don't need to gather here. ”
Yakumo's words mean that something unexpected has happened.
"Originally, Lord Ryujin's wish was to let her sleep forever, but for some reason, the seal seems to have been lifted. ”
Although the seal itself is not particularly powerful, it is strange that it has lost its effectiveness so quickly.
What worries Yakumo even more is what that guy will do next?
I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm!
"Ahh
The huge amount of information one after another made Reimu a little unable to receive it.
"How do you know about this?"
"You should ask her. ”
Yakumo Zi looked at Emperor Inaba and said.
"It's true, and besides, Her Royal Highness the princess of our family has been attacked by her!"
Now Bayi Yonglin has forbidden Penglai Mountain Huiye to leave the Eternal Pavilion, and wants to let her stay until the incident is resolved.
"That's a problem. ”
Someone has been attacked so soon! Looks like that guy doesn't plan to get along with everyone!
"So, what are you going to do?"
Now that these people have gathered, I'm afraid they have already figured out a way!
"Hmmm......"
The three of them made eye contact for a long time, and finally looked at her with expectant eyes.
Reimu only felt the cold hairs all over her body stand up.
"Slowly, slowly, you don't want to leave this matter to you, do you?"
"That's it. ”
"What a joke!"
These guys really aren't worth looking forward to at all!
"After all, you're also a shrine maiden at the shrine! it's normal for this kind of thing to be handled by you, right?"
"What's normal? I'm not the first generation. ”
How can other people's troubles be thrown at themselves?
I don't do it when I die.
"Don't do that! This is also for the sake of the beings of Gensokyo. ”
"Even if you say it so righteously, it's useless, I will never meddle in this matter. ”
Throwing down a sentence, Reimu went out in a rage.
"What should I do?"
Seeing that she really left like this, Linggu Irin and Emperor Inaba couldn't help but be a little worried.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Yakumo's expression was not nervous at all, as if he didn't care about it at all.
"After all, this is a fate that she can't escape as a Hakuri shrine maiden......"
On the same day, in a distant other world.
In the dark sea of clouds, countless electric snakes were passing through the period, accompanied by a loud rumbling thunder.
In this sea of thunder and lightning, I don't know when there was an extra magnificent palace.
Behind the fence on the second floor, a young girl is staring intently into the distance.
At this moment, another young woman came out of the house.
"Is it the ancestor?"
The girl didn't look back, just asked softly.
"Yes, Lord Ryujin. ”
The woman bowed to her, unusually humble.
The dragon god said "um" and stopped talking.
The two of them were silent for a long time.
"The Shadow Wolf's seal has been lifted. ”
Suddenly, she spoke again.
"Hmm. ”
Grandma wanted to ask who the so-called shadow wolf was, but in the end she held back.
"Is there really no way to get rid of her resentment towards me?"
As if talking to herself, the girl whispered.
"Resentment!?"
Grandma's brows twitched a few times, there are still people who resent Lord Ryujin, if this matter spreads, I don't know what kind of turmoil it will cause.
But looking at the appearance of Lord Ryujin, it seems that he is not angry with that guy, and even has deep pity.
"I'm afraid she's going to go to war again! Someone has to stop her. ”
This time, Ryujin is determined to solve the matter once and for all.
However, it was impossible for her to go down in person, so who should she send?
Grandma wants to serve herself, and she can't get out, and Yin Yuelin is a very good candidate, but it's a pity that her cultivation has just begun, and she can't walk away.
"Sure enough, I still have to ask someone else to help!"
sighed slightly, and couldn't help but feel that there were too few people available around him.
"Ancestors, call those two celestial ladies. ”
"Yes, Ryujin-sama. ”
