Episode 79 Monster in the Mist
Lake of Mist is a place in Gensokyo with a somewhat complicated environment, and although it is not very large, it is shrouded in fog all year round. There are only a few days of the year when the fog disappears completely. Only then will there be a way to get a glimpse of it in its entirety.
On weekdays, the dense fog covers the area of the lake, but one day, something unusual happened.
The white fog suddenly seemed to be catalyzed by something, and it rapidly expanded towards the surroundings. In less than half a day, the woods on the shore of the lake were engulfed in mist.
The entire Lake of Fog disappeared into a vast white sea of fog.
Ji Haitang stood on the top of one of the tallest pine trees in the forest, and the soft branches under her feet seemed to have just a feather falling on it, and she didn't even sway.
"This is an extraordinary event!"
The girl covered half of her face with the fan in her hand, staring at the mist that was rolling under the trees and drifting farther away.
In this white mist, which is so thick that no one can be seen five steps away, it seems that something unknown is happening.
However, there are still birds flying in and out of the fog from time to time, so those should be just ordinary dense fogs, which are not dangerous to life.
However, it still feels a little worrying!
Ji Haitang looked at it very long, and all that came into his eyes was a boundless white mist.
"You can't wait any longer to do nothing. ”
She muttered to herself.
Although I have already called the dog to go back to report the news, I may not be able to call anyone for a while. For the time being, I have to go down and take a look for myself.
As for the danger, Ji Haitang thought that with his own skills, nothing could happen.
"Let's do it!"
After making up her mind, the girl stuck the fan behind her waist, jumped slightly, and jumped into the vast white mist......
The scope of the dense fog expansion of the Lake of Fog was too wide, and even the Red Devil Pavilion was surrounded by fog.
The humidity in the air was so high that Hongmisuzu took a breath and felt as if water was about to come out of her nose.
A few steps away from the doorway, it became hazy when I looked at it. In order to prevent someone from sneaking into the mansion, she had to stand in the middle of the door.
"Ahh ”
After so many years of coming to the Red Devil Pavilion, it is the first time that Red Misuzu has encountered this kind of strange weather!
At this time, it is easy to be unlucky.
The girl looked behind her, and the fog blocked her view, but she could still feel that some kind of terrible love was gradually heating up in the mansion. They are like substance, and they make Red Misuzu's scalp tingle.
"Be careful. ”
You must not let people break into the Red Devil Pavilion, otherwise, you will be killed by the eldest lady!
In the Western-style pavilion, the owner Remilia is shaking her feet.
"Irritability, irritability, irritability......"
Her whole body exuded an aura of extreme irritability, and she was about to lose control.
"Why? Why did the fog suddenly get so big?"
The eldest lady banged the table and shouted.
The fog blocked out most of the sun's rays, which was a good thing for her as a vampire. But why is the moisture in the mist so thick? As soon as you walk out, you feel as if you are immersed in water.
And what she hates the most is water.
Even more annoying than the sun.
"Okay, you'd better be quiet first, even if you're so irritable, it won't help. ”
When he discovers that Remilia's love is starting to be wrong, Sixteen Nightsakiya hurries to invite Pache over. Fortunately, she was there, so that the eldest lady didn't do anything unimaginable.
"Hate nasty, I hate this nasty weather. ”
After saying it four times in a row, it seems that she really hates these dense fogs to the extreme.
"But where the hell did all this fog come from?"
Patchouli looked out the window, where she could normally see the Lake of Mist directly, but now she couldn't even see the gate.
"I don't know, but depending on the direction the fog is going, it must have come from the other side of the lake. ”
The strange white mist came too quickly, and by the time Sakuya noticed the abnormality in Sixteen Nightsaki, the Red Devil Pavilion was already surrounded.
"Oh......"
The maid's answer did not solve the doubts in the girl's heart.
"Patsy, find a way to get rid of the fog, or I'll die. ”
Remilia leaned on the table and said weakly.
"Is it so strict?"
Pache suddenly felt a little crying and laughing, how could she have nothing to do when she got wet in the summer?
"I don't care, you can figure it out for me anyway. ”
It seems that she is really in a very bad mood, and she is starting to lose her temper.
"It's really, it's hard for a strong man!"
The girl couldn't help but sigh. From the mist, she couldn't feel any signs of magic, it was just ordinary fog.
However, because of this, she felt a little tricky.
If it's magic, she can use her own magic to get rid of it, but if it's just an ordinary weather change, it's not that simple.
But looking at my friend's headache, I can't ignore her.
"Anyway, let's go find the source of the fog first. ”
As long as you find the source, with your own wisdom, you will always come up with a solution.
"Then please!"
Although the Red Devil Pavilion is protected by Pache Lichouli's magic, the fog does not enter, but once you go out, you will have to touch them!
Remilia didn't want to get wet.
"Got it. ”
Making friends like vampires is sometimes not a good thing!
"Sakiya, you go along. ”
For Pacully's safety, Remilia sent Sixteen Nights Sakuya out as well.
"By the way, by the way, let's bring the door with you. ”
She didn't have anything to do at this time anyway.
The fog is so big that others may not even be able to find where the Red Devil Pavilion is, and there is no need to think about whether anyone will break in.
"Yes. ”
"Then we're leaving. ”
It was just a temporary outing, and Pache didn't have anything to bring, only a few words to tell the other party.
"Remember, don't run out and don't break things in the house. ”
"Okay, okay, do you think I'm a child? I don't even understand that. ”
"I'm worried that you didn't control yourself for a while. ”
"I'm annoyed, Sakiya, take Patsy away!"
Impatient, Remilia waved her hand and gave the order to the head maid.
"I'll go ...... myself"
Through the window, Remilia watched as Pache and Sixteen Nightsakiya disappeared into the fog.
She was the only one left in the family all of a sudden.
"Ah, I'm so irritable, I'm so irritable, I want to do a big havoc......"
·········································
"Here it is...... Where is it?"
Maalubelle looked around in astonishment, she remembered that she had gone to the school library to read a book!
"Is this a dream?"
She pinched her face hard, it hurt a little, but it wasn't very noticeable.
The girl suddenly felt confused, is it really real, or is it just an extremely real dream?
However, whether it is real or dream, the first step is to find its exit.
She didn't want to stay in a world where she couldn't see anything all the time.
The girl walked forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot, without any purpose.
As her clothes got wet, she felt a chill run through her body, but the road ahead still seemed to be never-ending.
Do you want to go on like this?
Thinking of this, the girl's heart couldn't help but tighten.
She hasn't written much of her dissertation yet, and if she doesn't finish it, she won't be able to graduate from college.
Well, no, no, what you should consider now is your own safety!
The fog overhead rolled for a while, and the flow of air suddenly intensified, as if something had flown over it.
"Alas!!"
In this situation, encountering the unknown is the most frightening.
Thinking of the plots of those horror movies I watched, Maalubelli's heart was furious, don't encounter anything strange!
Her prayers seemed to work, and after the wind blew, and after a long time, it was still quiet, and nothing happened.
"Probably a bird flew over!"
Now I can only comfort myself like this.
If you want to blame the lotus seeds, you can only blame the lotus seeds, and when you have nothing to do, you always tell yourself those strange things that you don't know where you heard them, and you think too much.
"Let's go. ”
The peace of mind didn't last long, and suddenly there was a very heavy sound in the fog in the distance.
"Ah, wait. ”
Isn't it? Is it really that effective? But no, I don't want to be the protagonist in the weird story.
As the footsteps gradually approached, a huge shadow slowly emerged from the white fog ahead.
The girl's eyes immediately narrowed.
"That's ...... What?"
The thick fog made it impossible for her to see what was coming, but judging by its shape, it shouldn't be that small.
"Hoo ......"
A fishy wind blew, and the nearby fog quickly faded.
Eventually, Maalubelli was able to see what was approaching.
If she's not mistaken, it's a big catfish! Even lying there, it's a lot taller than Maalubelli.
The invisible body in the back is even larger.
She'd never seen such a big fish before! I'd heard that there were some amazing fish in the deep sea, but it was obvious that this guy in front of her was different from them.
Because it is impossible for them to climb to the shore.
The most terrifying thing is that the big catfish has been staring at her with those big black and white eyes, and the two smooth tentacles are still writhing.
The catfish suddenly opened its big mouth, revealing two rows of tiny and tight fangs, and a rough count of them may have numbered hundreds.
If you bite into it, you can definitely turn it in half.
The girl's face turned pale all at once.
