Episode 145 The past is irretrievable, and the present cannot be saved

A kitchen knife slashed at me with a blinding cold light.

"A sneak attack isn't a righteous act!"

Two fingers suddenly appeared in the path of the kitchen knife, clamping it firmly, no matter how hard the attacker tried, he couldn't make it move in the slightest.

"What are you doing? Raven. ”

When I found out that the person who attacked me was actually Shotimaru Wen, I couldn't help but frown.

Shotmaru didn't speak, but tried hard to pull out the kitchen knife, but in vain, he raised his head and glared at me viciously.

"Huh!"

Looking at her eyes that shimmered with an ominous red light, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

When Marisa saw her, they immediately quickened their pace.

Finding that so many people were coming, Shotimaru quickly let go of the knife and turned around to want to slip away.

"Dongfang, don't let Wenwen run away!"

"Got it. ”

"Shhh ”

An inaudible sound of breaking the air sounded, and the Shooting Pill Wen, who had only run a few steps away, suddenly fell to the ground.

Ibuki ran over quickly, only to find that she had just fainted.

"What the hell is going on?"

Suddenly, I was attacked by Shotimaru Wen, and it seems that something must have happened during the time I was away.

"It's hard to say, I'll tell you in detail later!"

Ibuki picked up Shotimaru Fumi, and although the other party was much larger than her, she seemed to have no trouble picking it up.

"Oh. ”

Since she said so, I can't ask any more.

"What's wrong with your hand?"

I saw that Ji Haitangji's arm was tied with a handkerchief, and there were some blood stains on it, which seemed to be injured.

"Nothing, just a little skin trauma. ”

Ji Haitang looked at the Shooting Pill Wen extremely and replied lightly.

"Yes, it was really thanks to Begonia just now!"

Recalling what happened not long ago, Marisa still felt palpitations, and she couldn't imagine that Shotmaru Wen suddenly jumped out from behind and attacked him silently, if it wasn't for Ji Haitang rushing out to block it, it might be her in her hand.

"That's right. ”

I flicked my fingers, and a small white ball of light spun and flew over, landing on Ji Haitangji's wound.

"Huh!"

Ji Haitang untied the handkerchief, only to see that the wound that was still bleeding had completely healed!

"Thank you. ”

Knowing that it was the man in front of him who helped him, Ji Haitang hurriedly thanked him.

"No thanks. ”

I shook my head, although she had offended me before, but now that she had already punished her, there was no need to worry about it anymore.

Ibuki returned to the hall with Seimeimaru in her arms and placed her on a longer couch.

"Dongfang, can you please do me a favor?"

Ibuki Suika glanced at Semei Maru Wen who was lying on the sofa and said to me.

"Got it, let me take a look. ”

I bent down and grabbed the wrist of the shotmaru.

"Well, it's strange, there's nothing wrong with your body!"

After a while, I let go of Shotimaru's hand and scratched my head, her body temperature was normal, her heart rate was also very stable, and there was no special change.

"No problem, what's wrong with Wenwen?"

Ji Haitang was even more anxious, since his body was fine, how could Shooting Pill Wen do something to attack others?

"Hmmm......"

I didn't answer her words, but I opened one of my eyes and squinted my eyes after just looking at it.

Shooting Pill Wen, who lost consciousness, did not disappear from the red glow in his eyes, but became more obvious.

"Do you know what kind of illness Wenwen has?"

"Well, I don't know yet, but I think I've encountered this somewhere. ”

I lowered my head and thought hard, the red light in the eyes of the shooting pill always gave me a familiar feeling, as if I had seen it sometime and somewhere.

"Really?

Seeing that I really wanted to know what the blood was, several people quickly gathered around.

"I can't remember. ”

I shook my head, and though I had a little memory, I couldn't remember what it was.

"What?"

Unexpectedly, in the end, they still didn't understand anything, and everyone was immediately disappointed.

"Don't worry, don't worry, tell me everything you know. ”

I sat down on the side, and to solve a problem, it was necessary to gather intelligence beforehand.

Ibuki Tsuika and Himetang glanced at each other and sighed at the same time.

After listening to their words, I bowed my head and pondered.

"Your brother asked us not to tell you about this before he died, at that time Begonia was still young, he was afraid that if you were known, it would leave you a psychological shadow, but unfortunately, I didn't expect you to have a misunderstanding because of this. ”

Ibuki Suika patted Ji Haitang on the shoulder and sighed.

"Why? Why didn't you tell me the truth earlier?"

Hearing her words, Ji Haitang couldn't help crying bitterly.

"So, Begonia, don't resent Wenwen's father anymore, your brother's death really has nothing to do with him. ”

"It's too late. ”

Ji Haitang covered her face very hard, but she couldn't stop her tears.

“？”

Ibuki didn't understand, she hadn't been back to Yokai Mountain for hundreds of years, and she didn't know what the situation was like there now.

Seeing that Ji Haitang was extremely sad and speechless, Inu Xingchun had no choice but to speak for her.

"Master Cuixiang, Sister Wenwen's parents, passed away more than ten years ago. ”

"Really?"

Ibuki Suika couldn't help but feel gloomy, the world is impermanent, even if it is a crowtengu, it can't withstand the test of time!

"Ah, I remember. ”

Just as a few people were sad, I suddenly raised my head and shouted.

"What? Do you know what disease Wenwen has?"

Ibuki asked in surprise, and the rest of the people turned to look at me.

"Ah, I finally remember. ”

I nodded.

"It's just that the crow is not sick, to be precise, it is parasitized by something. ”

"Parasitized?"

Everyone was amazed, and although they had guessed many possibilities, they didn't expect it to be like this.

"That's right. ”

I nodded, I'd only seen it once, but I couldn't be mistaken, I had traveled many dimensions to study it. But then I forgot about it because I was obsessed with other things.

"Don't sell it, you better say it quickly, what is Wenwen parasitized by and why did she become like this. ”

"It's the flower of Naraku!"

Lying on the couch, Shotimaru suddenly writhed like a cramp, and I tapped her on the forehead to silence her.

The flower of Naraku is an invisible thing that parasitizes the depths of the soul, it can neither be seen nor touched, it is a formless creature that does exist zài. The flower of Naraku will constantly absorb the power of the host's soul through guò, so as to continue to grow. At the same time, it will also release some strange substances that will deteriorate the host's soul, which is why people who are parasitized by the flower of Naraku will have a drastic change in temperament.

"Naraku's flowers?"

A bunch of guys looked up and down at Shotimaru Wen, but they couldn't tell where the flowers were growing on her.

"Well, but it's not the body of Naraku's flower in the crow's body, it's just its doppelganger, Naraku's doppelganger. ”

"Clone ......"

Accepting so many unknown things at once, even if it was a few Reimu, I felt that my brain couldn't turn around.

"yes, if it were the body, you wouldn't be standing here anymore. ”

"Is that flower really that powerful?"

Marisa wondered, they had never heard of such a terrible flower.

"How can I say that? The flower of Naraku is parasitic in the depths of the soul, so ordinary methods can't deal with it at all. And the most terrifying thing is that its parasitic mode is impossible to defend against, and I am afraid that it will already be parasitized before you even notice it. ”

"That's pretty scary. ”

I couldn't believe that thing could enter the depths of my soul silently, but after thinking about it for a while, everyone felt a little cold behind it.

"Then, Dongfang, do you know where the main body of Naraku's flower is?"

Reimu asked, if there really was such a terrifying thing, she had to dispose of it before it caused a catastrophe.

"Maybe it's still in Gensokyo, maybe it's not, but it's definitely out of Yokai Mountain. ”

"Why can you be so sure?"

"If the flower of Naraku is still in the mountain of monsters, it is impossible for the doppelganger in the crow to sleep until now, and it will have a seizure a long time ago. ”

A few people thought about it for a while, and they also felt that what I said made a lot of sense.

"Then why did you have a sudden seizure today?"

Ji Haitang, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, asked very suddenly.

"Well, what's this?"

I got up and walked to the window, looking out for a few moments before continuing.

"One is that the crow encountered some huge stimulus, and her mind fluctuated, which made Naraku's doppelganger wake up. The second is that the doppelganger has been asleep for so long, and has accumulated enough energy to wake up today. ”

I turned my head to look at the Shotimaru with my eyes closed, and shook my head.

"Can you make that clear?"

Marisa suddenly raised her hand.

"To put it simply, after absorbing enough soul power, a doppelganger can grow into a complete Naraku flower. ”

"She ...... that Wenwen"

"Don't worry, she's okay for the time being. ”

"Oh. ”

Although I said for the time being, Ji Haitang was still relieved.

"Oh, that's right, what about the third?"

"The third is that the main body of the flower of Naraku happened to appear around here today, and the clone will be activated. ”

"Activate?"

"That's right, because Naraku's doppelganger will only be affected by its body, hey, could it be that the little girl I met today ......"

"What did you say?"

Because my last sentence was so quiet, no one else could hear it clearly.

"Nothing, that's probably all there is to it. ”

I smiled and didn't say what was in my mind.

"Then, Lord Dongfang, do you know how to save Sister Wenwen?"

Inugo, who was kneeling next to Shotimaru Wen, turned his head to look at me, his little face wrinkled tightly.

"I can only regret sù to you,"

I walked up to her, leaned down and touched her head.

"Those who are parasitized by the flower of Naraku are incurable, unless they ......"

"Unless what?"

Ji Haitang pounced very violently, grabbed me by the collar and asked loudly.

"Unless the host dies, there is no way to destroy the flower of Naraku. ”

"Death!"

Ji Haitang slowly let go of his hand, and his eyes that had lost their luster looked unusually hollow.

"Is there really no way to save this child?"

Ibuki Tsuyaka also chimed in, although she had expected this outcome, but she still found it difficult to accept.

Shooting Pill Wen and Ji Haitang are two children, but she watched them grow up!

"As I said before, Naraku's doppelganger will only be affected by the main body, and once the main body dies, the doppelganger will also be finished, so if the host of the main body dies unexpectedly, she can be saved. ”

"Are you telling the truth?"

Hearing that there was hope that he could save the life pill, Ji Haitangji's eyes immediately lit up.

"Hmm. ”

"Alright, I'm going to kill that guy who caused Wenwen so badly now. ”

Ji Haitang clenched his fists and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Ibuki Suika.

"Your Highness Cuixiang let me go, or it will be too late. ”

Ji Haitang struggled hard, but unfortunately her strength was far worse than that of Ibuki Suika.

"Do you know where he is? Didn't Dongfang say that the person who parasitized the Naraku Flower Body is no longer in the Youkai Mountain, where are you going to find it?"

"This ......"

Ibuki Suika's words suddenly made Ji Haitang's extremely hot mind instantly cold.

"Then what are we going to do? Are we just watching Wenwen become like that?"

She yelled weakly at Ibuki Suika, tears pouring out of her eyes again.

Ibuki Suika was speechless, and could only sigh.

"Well, that's enough. ”

Reimu, who had been drinking tea with a blank face, put down the teacup and spoke.

"Dongfang, I just want to ask you one thing. ”

"Huh?"

"If Wenwen is left alone, what will be the consequences? ”

As soon as Reimu said this, the others all looked at me.

"Well, this is what happened before, and it will happen again. ”

Once the doppelganger in the Shotimaru genre grows into a complete Naraku flower, Gensokyo will be in big trouble at that time.

"Are you sure?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

I pursed my lips disdainfully at Reimu's question.

"That's good. ”

Reimu quickly got up and took out the imperial coins that he usually didn't know where to hide.

"In order to protect Gensokyo, and to prevent the terrible mutation from happening, I, Hakurei Reimu, in the name of the thirteenth generation of Hakurei Shrine Maiden, will kill the source of the disaster, Shotimarufumi, here. ”
